001Hi everyone. We're going to call to order our virtual board of education meeting for today, November the 10th. Lori, would you like >> Mrs. Burgerer here, Mr. Burns here, Mr. Hood >> here, >> Mrs. Slate here, Mrs. Wooden >> here. Okay. First of all, I want to welcome everyone for coming tonight. We have a lot of um recognitions, a lot of exciting things going on. Beachwood um our volleyball team um all state champions. Yay. [applause] Marching band state championship. [applause] Lily Park uh cross country state champion [applause] and um our um superintendent winner um Jen Dawson. But um I will turn it now over to uh Mr. Kaiser and he can go into more detail on >> uh first off excited to extend the second superintendent award this year to Jen Dawson. She was nominated
002by Natalie Ginsteiner. I'm going to read uh Natalie's nomination uh when she put that into the Google form. Uh Miss Dawson is always looking for ways to challenge herself to become a better teacher. It may be taking continuing education classes, researching the latest curriculum models to best teach kindergarten, learning more about science behind, learn more about the science behind what we teach, or sitting up late at home, searching for new ways to teach our and reach our kids. She has a desire to learn and bring what she has learned into our classroom in our district. She sees each child as an individual and strives to meet them where they are. She takes the time to differentiate the needs of our class academically. There's always a wide range of learning styles and knowledge levels in kindergarten.
003Miss Dawson does a wonderful job creating an environment that allows all students to learn, feel safe, loved, and can be challenged to grow. Working directly with her has helped me to become a better teacher, learner, and leader. Beachwood was blessed to have her teaching our young Tigers, and I know when we put this out there on I think social media, it was reported that there was many, many comments uh on this one. Uh so Miss Dawson who who's well loved uh within the building also well loved within the community um excited to be able to present this award to her. So you want to come on up? YEAH. [applause] [applause] [laughter] >> The dogs had to change my shirt. uh the award cool part about that the award she receives or the the award that
004she got the trophy is designed by the idea lab class and so our middle grades uh make those little trophies that uh each three-piece person gets. Uh, next up we have senior Lily Park. [applause] During her incredible career at Beachwood, she has won MVP NK NKAC runner of the year, Cincinnati Inquire runner of the year, triport athlete award, 10 time state champion in individual events and two state two-time state champion in relay events in both cross country and track and has been a member of four state championship teams in cross country and track and is the state record holder for the 1600 and 800 in track. So, not not too many things that she's [laughter] >> um I mean, other than that, I mean, it's it's Lily Park. She's she's pretty much established herself as
005a legend at Beachwood. Um she's a legend on the streets of Fort Mitchell, too, running. I think I see her almost every day running. So, congrats. >> [applause] [applause] >> We got we got to spread this bread out. >> So proud of you. Congratulations. [applause] >> Uh, next up we have the Beachwood Marching Tigers, their 12th uh, Kentucky State Championship. I know we have our senior band members here and Mr. Broly as well as Miss Stark's here, too. All right. Um, here are our senior band members. We have Julian Sandberg, Haley Nordmire, Sam Higgins, Noah Perkins, Simon Cullison, Colin Carr, Katherine Lillard, Mattie Hoops, Jack Eizor, Douglas Jacobo, Jesse Roberts, Reese Thompson, Abby Houston. Um, I mean, it's the band, [laughter] but we people make light of it, but they are here. Um, I even
006talked about them a little bit with Austin at the most recent podcast, and we had a really great conversation if you haven't listen. It's really good. Austin offers some really good insight on just the work, uh, the planning, everything that goes into the band. Um, so you have the the marching tigers themselves, you have the directors, you have all the assisting lessons people and specific guard helpers and all that stuff. Then you have the band parents who are the boosters. Uh, it's it's an army. and um 12 I think it's third in in the state uh state his uh third place I think Lafayette and maybe Adair then us um they're catching up on the on the football tigers in regards to state championships so that's pretty cool um and just uh very proud of
007you guys so if the seniors and Mr. Brley and the Starks want to come on up and get a picture CONGRATULATIONS [applause] might need require people to take some [laughter] >> sit here. [laughter] >> Get as many on there as you can. >> Scoot down. There was more. [laughter] congratulations. [applause] >> So, in this year's state championship, I know that they scored the highest score ever in in uh Beachwood's history, I believe, uh with a 91 point something. Um, and I always throw out the question, would they have beaten Lafayette or maybe Riyle this year? and their modest egg. Oh, that's a different class, but I think they probably would have. Uh, so a great performance. Congratulations to the marching Tigers. Uh, next up we have the all volleyball state winners and coaches. We have
008uh ninth region coach of the year. Matt Law [applause] Luendowski is here. Coach Lundowski. [applause] >> And I know you have other coaches here. Any other coaches here? No, just just Okay.

[laughter] Take a seat. As many people on there as you can >> congratulations. [laughter] >> Oh, Matt. Good. Good to
010see you. Congrats. CONGRATUL [applause] >> I try to get to December 1st every year. Everybody's not pleased. I don't think we're going to It's all because you didn't do me. >> You all are more than welcome to stay for the rest [laughter] of the meeting. However, if you want to exit at this time, you're welcome to do so. >> Slow down. >> We will not be offended, of course. [laughter] Hi. [laughter] >> So, what is this? What is this parade at 9:30? You just leave school. >> All the kids comment. >> All right, we'll move on to our um discussion and action agenda. Oh, well, hold on one second. We need to make a motion to amend the agenda to rebid a component of phase 6 project. >> I'll make the motion. >> I'll second.
011>> Okay. >> Oh, Mrs. Burgerer, yes. Mr. Birds, yes. >> Mr. Hood, yes. >> Mrs. Slate, yes. Mrs. W. >> Yes. >> Okay. And then we will take a motion to reject the bid received from MITER Masonry. >> I'll make the motion to reject the bid from Masonry. Um did you do you want to go into detail about that? >> Yeah, just briefly. Um so MITER put their bid in with the lowest bid, but they did not bond that bid. And so um what that means is when a contract sum exceeds $100,000, the contractor contractor shall furnish a bond that like protects. So if the contractor ever, this is miter masonry, would ever say, "Okay, we're out here. We're leaving. We're not going to finish the project." they wouldn't be on the hook. >> And
012so this keeps them on the hook. And so since they did not provide that furnish that bond, we're not going to go into contract with them. We're going to open it up for rebidding. And the winning masonry bid will will be the next contractor. Uh so it just protects us. It's also um part of law that as a as a public institution and a school, we're not allowed to enter something like that. So, um, just allows us to rebid it out. Uh, the best part about this is that the masonry component of the project is not till later. So, it's not like, oh my gosh, is this going to bump us back or anything? Masonry doesn't come till the spring, so it's not a major issue. >> Anyone have any questions? Pretty straightforward. >> Yeah.
013Mrs. Burgerer, >> yes. >> Mr. Burns, >> yes. >> Mr. Hood, >> yes. >> Mrs. Lake, yes. >> Mrs. Wood, >> yes. Motion carries on to the next item. Motion to allow Kodell to rebid the masonry component of the phase 6C project. Take a motion. >> I'll take a motion. >> I'll second. >> Mrs. Burke. Yes. Mr. Burns. >> Yes. >> Mr. Hood. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Slate. Yes. >> Thank you. Okay. >> All right. Now, back to regular business. All right. On to our next item. Um, the pets offer. Um, take a motion to approve the cuts offer of 17,000 $17,214. I'll make a motion to approve the cuts off offer for $17,214. >> I'll second. Do >> you have anything to add to that? >> Uh, cuts offer is just the technology offer
014from the state. Uh, they look at how much every school in the state has spent on technology in the past year. They put that together, then they reallocate reallocate for the next year. The offer that they gave us was 17,214. Uh it's a little lower than last year. Um in order for us to use that, we match it. Uh so every year that 17 Well, this year that $17,000 will be matched by us with 17. And that'll all be used to replenish Chromebooks. And we use that offer every year, I believe, to replenish our Chromebooks. >> Yeah, it goes towards that. It's just the first offer. We'll get one more in the spring. Mhm. >> Do you know what that amount will be? >> No, it it's usually similar to this one, but you really
015>> there's no guarantee. But that's usually the >> In the past, it's been around 25 total. >> Total. >> So 25 from from you and us. So yeah, is high. >> Yeah, it's higher this year when it's usually around 12. I think the past couple years have 12 each offer. Ready? Mrs. Burgerer, yes. >> Mr. Burn, >> yes. >> Mr. Hood, yep. >> Mrs. Slate, yes. Mrs. Wood, >> yes. >> Motion carries onto our consent agenda. Take a motion to approve the consent agenda as written. >> I'll make the motion. >> I'll second. Okay. Laura will >> I'll second. >> Okay. Anything you want to take out of there specific? uh the use of facility, the tri-state ensemble, that's a lot of our band members are in that trombone ensemble that'll use the auditorium one
016night. Longhorn softball, those are all between kiddos. Spartan practices that usually occurs playoffs every year. Taylor County, one of Austin's relationships, they just use our field for a few minutes before they head up to their competition. It's kind of like on the way. Mhm. >> Uh and then Ed [music] Camp Northern Kentucky is uh the I think it's KDE now sponsors Ed Camp Northern Kentucky. I think her name's Amelia Brown. Um but they're going to do a PD for all of Northern Kentucky here on site in the fall of 26. Uh it's on a Friday night. >> I don't know how people are going to do a PD on a Friday night, but they're doing it and it's not on a football night. So it's an empty empty night on campus here. Um, so we
017we would host that. Uh, and then field trip you see the all state round two. I think it's down in I think Harden County usually. >> Okay. >> Oh, do you want me to hit the the bus rental rate increase? >> That is um we allow our buses and our drivers kind of to be rented by Southgate. Southgate's a [clears throat] very tiny district. Uh we're small, but they're way smaller. Uh and we let them use our bus and our drivers when they have a couple field trips to the zoo or to the TA theater and we rent that to them. Um over recent years, other places rent and driver rent has increased. So we've matched ours to match Kenton County schools and it would just be just to be similar to those other um
018districts. >> Okay. Any other questions? Mrs. Burgerer, yes. Mr. Burns, yes. Mr. Hood, >> yes. >> Mrs. Slate, yes. Mrs. Wood, >> yes. >> Okay. Motion carries on to superintendent report. >> Great. Excited to be able to as kind of our series of of learning programs at Beachwood and what goes on inside the walls. um excited to be able to share the English learner update um with Tiffany Rudy who's uh newer to to Beachwood and excited for her to share all the interesting and cool programs she's brought to Beachwood uh to support our English learners. Uh so Tiffany's going to come on up with Lawrence Dman Camp and they're going to present all the different ways in which they support our kiddos. >> Welcome. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, >> Lawrence Dman Camp. Obviously, I
019oversee a couple of different programs here at Beachwood. One of them being the EL program. And what I'll share with everybody here before we get started, Tiffany's going to, you know, take the lead on sharing all the work that we have done and some of the trends that we're seeing in our EL um program. But what I would like to share with the group is just how um grateful I am to be in this position as a district admin and having the opportunity to learn and grow um uh within the capacity of the EL program because it's not necessarily where my uh education and my experience lies. But I've learned so much and I will tell you that it's become quite a bit huge passion of mine to continue this work with Tiffany um and
020our past uh teachers and coordinators throughout the district. So I'm just glad to be here. Um and Tiffany's going to walk us through. >> So we're the team obviously. >> Hello [laughter] Lauren and and me. Thank you. >> Yeah, I'll do this part. You don't have to do the part. >> Oh perfect. Oh that'd be so helpful. >> Thank you. Uh we prepared some slides. So um so that I could keep on track. No. Uh all right. So uh the EL program, what does EL stand for? English learners. Uh we are um um in Beachwood we have currently the population is 57 students across the grade levels K through 12. And then we also have some recently redesated English fully proficient uh fully English proficient sorry um students in the district K through 12. So
021um so the red shows the the population per grade level and the blue shows the RFAP students. So uh you can see that we have a higher population of students in the elementary lower in the in the high school. We have six. I like I like to do this slide where I ask you how many languages do you think we have at Beachwood. Um but I didn't get to do that. So there it is. Six. We have six languages represented at Beachwood. Um Spanish, Gujarati, Mandarin, Shona, Hakachin, and German among our active English language learners. Um and then we have five more represented um among those RFP students. Now why are those RFP students mentioned? because it's a requirement. It's federal law to monitor them in the state of Kentucky also um to monitor them
022for four years after they exit the program. >> That's what that these are these are students who've exited the program. They made it through >> blue they exited. We're monitoring red they are actively receiving services through our district. >> Blue ones are still students here. >> They are still students in K12. We didn't we just put them in. >> And what does the one two three and four indicate? >> Year. >> Oh, the year. Got it. >> So these students exited last year. So you see we had a very large uh population of students exit last year which is huge. And then uh two years ago, three years ago and four years ago >> and the goal is to get all students. >> Okay. >> That's our goal. >> Yes. Yes. to the and yes
023as they as they come in we that is the goal and how language acquisition works is approximately one to three years it takes to to gain a language socially that social foundation in language where you can ask someone if they went to the movies or they seem like they understand language pretty proficiently as a teacher we can get confused if we don't understand the academic language takes five to seven years to develop so um so yes so the trend of seeing students less students in high school is amazing. So that's looking really great in my opinion at at Beachwood. So um >> yeah, >> what's um what's the threshold for placing a student into the program? Like if we have a student that speaks some degree of English, but what's what's the threshold where we
024put them in? >> Yeah. What's that what's that thing that qualify qualifies them for the program? What a great question. So what what we do is we look at this is the this is federal law. So um uh we look at their enrollment forms and there's a portion of the enrollment form that has four little questions that ask about your home language and if you answer any of those questions is yes uh if you learned it as your first language if your parents speak it in your home or um these kind of questions then it is a um it is a requirement to assess the student for their English language proficiency. So then if they're tested and qualified to the program, then they become an English learner. >> Okay. >> And receive program services, >>
025right? >> Yeah. Some some are tested and they don't qualify. And so we're we yeah, >> we make sure that those are adequately um listed as well. So we have uh we thought this would be an interesting thing to add to this because we've had a steep increase in the population of the EL students >> before I came here. Um there was only about 35 students 37 students in the program six years ago and now um there was 70 73 last year and now we have 57. So you can see that from the 37 to the 57 38 I can't remember the number uh exactly there but um it's it's a huge increase and what the drop wow we had so many exit the program last year. It was I as a teacher I like
026to have about 10% of my students exit every year but this was 18%. Uh I believe so I was just blown away and then and we have had some students move away too but um but that was uh that was in my opinion the reason for the the the drop. And when we talk about the uh students that qualify and students that exit out, it it is a um combination of factors that you can't always um what's the word predict or it's it's year to year to year. But the trend I think the biggest thing take from this slide is that the the trend is that our numbers are overall growing. Uh which is why I think it's such a great thing that the um district is focusing on our exceptional populations. >> Yes. Uh
027okay. So there we go. The 18% attainment rate uh on that that test of English language proficiency. It is called WEDA access for EELs and it's it's a it's a language assessment that 42 states across [clears throat] the nation use and Kentucky is one of them. So we get to thankfully get to compare [laughter] the data if for students that move in from other states very easily across the nation. Um, so yeah, 18% like I said, if I have 10% as a teacher, I this is my 20th year of teaching language learners and if I get that 10%, oh my gosh, this is amazing, right? But so 18 was blowing it out of the water. So I just I was like, wow, being a beachfoot is amazing. Last year was my first year. So who
028knows? But like I said, 10%'s my um my goal. But we did find out that the um the Kentucky average last year, we we asked them it is 9%. So, um, >> and I'll say real quick and historically just as a review, we we've, um, Beachwood has maintained around a 9% pass rate or above the last several years. Uh, we had one year we had a a smaller um, percentage, but we have been on par if not exceeding uh, state >> the state averages, which I think just speaks a lot to all the things we're doing. But yes, just want to share that. >> Yeah. So when we look at the the um the access, it tests academic language, not really that social language that I was talking about. It does address it a tiny
029bit because that's important in your foundation of of language learning, but it assesses academic listening. So your listening, it has four different sections: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. And um and it assesses them in academic terms. So it'll give them a a passage or they'll have to listen to a science science teacher and then answer questions about about that for their listening. So the reason I put this here is to see that growth is just as important in um in language learning as attainment. attaining English language proficiency is amazing, but we have to look at growth because if it takes five to seven years to learn a language academically, if we're not looking at growth, then we're going to have hard a hard time looking finding success, right? So, um so we had a you
030can go to the next slide. Yes. >> Um we last year we started um this one uh we started the EL end of the year award ceremony and we call it a big celebration and it ended up being a big celebration. So many families came um and and everyone was got to be recognized for some type of growth and um and so that was a very a lot of people a lot of my students haven't received awards um because they are not on grade level or they haven't been able to to show what they know because of their language barrier but um so that was a special thing to show the growth across the across the school K12 um and then we also have been starting um this since January very started a coffee and
031conversation cafe conversion if you um if you speak Spanish. >> Um and last Friday we had uh coffee and conversation. Five languages, five different languages were were represented and um and I taught them how to teach their children how to read if they don't use English. How do I help my child at school learn how to read if they do not understand the language that's coming home? So, and we just I prepare topics and then it guides our informal conversation about different things that you need to know if you're in a different country. Um the different expectations and that aren't the same from country to country. Okay. And then um and then we also this year started u we now we get to participate in the the peer mentor program. So some seniors that have
032signed up to be peer mentors, they got assigned to be e peer mentors and this wonderful senior working with these two I mean in his football dress like you know dressed for playing getting I mean that [clears throat] if that I can't see I don't have [laughter] um I am an English teacher I promise. Uh so um yeah, so there's just a lot of things that we've been doing to engage the community. When the community feels supported and safe, they'll participate when um and that's what my goal with these things is. >> And I'll just say just like the EL uh peer mentor, peer mentor, uh my previously was kind of focused on our um special education population. And then we saw an opportunity here at Beachwood that most districts don't have because you're not
033on campus K through 12 or preschool through 12th grade. Um, and then it was like, oh, we some of our peer mentors might do really well in the preschool program and they might really enjoy that. Why would we not expand? We did that last year and the year before. And then through collaboration and and communication, we were like, we have some students that might also be willing to be e peer mentors. So like our highlevel Spanish speakaking students that might have an um a study hall or or maybe take that off the plate, they just are interested in in being a part of our um peer mentor program focused now on EL. So we've expanded some of our exceptional population um opportunities for students that are in our building to work with their their students
034in our community. And I think that's pretty amazing and that was something we just started this year. So wanted to highlight that. >> Yeah, that's pretty amazing. >> That's amazing. >> Okay, we are going to do the overview even though it is crossed out. Sorry about [laughter] about the formatting on that. Um, so this is basically a quick synopsis of my job. Um, I think of of it as four different areas. I support students, I support staff, and I support families and I do assessment. Um, so so we can so you can see that I work with the elementary and I work with the high school students. I do pull out groups out of their classroom for the little elementary guy, little guys. And uh I have a a full period of of students for
035um high school support. And then I um and then I also monitor those those students that are not actively in my classes but are still low enough that they haven't exited the program. Those are called consultation students. And then I monitor those those students that have been recently redesated fully English proficient. Um so yes, so then I work with teachers and staff. We collaborate, the counselors and I tried to do a lot of work together. We've got one in five um coming into my high school classroom um to to talk about you know mental health issues with um with students in my population. Um I'm basically serve as a liaison between teachers and staff uh teacher teachers and staff that's the same [laughter] thing u teachers and families. So um for example the cultural differences
036in um in a home can be they're very different expectations. So, uh, if a teacher doesn't understand that the the family's expectation is different than the teachers and vice versa, then, um, then we're not we're walking in different directions. So, um, so I try to explain the differences to both sides. Um, yes. And then assessment like we talked about before. >> Thank you. >> That's it. >> That's great. [applause] >> Some really great work has been has has been happening. um not just this year but uh last year and the in the years previous. I'm I'm pretty proud to be a part of that work and [clears throat] to share with you guys today as a district. So >> thanks for listen. >> Does anyone have any more questions? >> Thanks for sharing. Thank you
037for being here. >> I know as part of the EEL innovation team that I was part of for I don't know one or two years. Um we have innovation teams. One of them being English learners. Uh we one of the kind of our pillars our three pillars that we we ask ourselves that we want to make sure that we ask our our families and our kiddos. We have three questions. The first one is do I belong? Second one is is this meaningful? And the third one is can I do this? Our goal is for every student English learner or any student is they should be able to answer yes to those questions before they leave Beachwood. Do I belong? So how do you make students and families have a sense of belonging? you invite them
038to Beachwood. >> Um that they need to understand that they are welcome here and they are part of the community. So that's the do I belong. Uh is this meaningful? We have to show them that that that there is meaning. We have to recognize reward uh show them that that their their peers other students just like them are achieving. And then uh can I do this? It's that building that confidence not just in the the e but in every class. And so just Tiffany supporting kids through those through those three kind of concepts. If we can get them all to answer yes to those three, then then we've done our job. So that's kind of a mission goal for us. So thank you Tiffany. Thank you Lauren for all that work. Uh next up, finance
039[clears throat] report. Well, if you look through it, there's no surprises. We are really on par on pace with the the budget as as far as I can tell. There's a few things that we knew were going to be a little higher this year than prior years like utilities is up. Um and we expected that. So the budget was increased on that line item. So I feel like we're still in line with the budget. >> Um [cough and clears throat] >> revenue is a little low because we haven't received taxes yet. >> Yeah, we received some but it goes to the restricted fund and then we'll get some more. We just got a little bit in October. We'll get some more in November. So you'll see that you'll see that level out the next month.
040So that is yeah >> salary we're we're running a little lower with certified salary [clears throat] this year because and we we expected to be higher because of the raise but we had some retirements and so it kind of balanced that out. Thought >> salary would be higher. No, it's balanced because some of those retirements that occurred. Um, if you look at uh outside services has shifted to property services because citywide we just Christie felt it be better placed in property services. So you see maybe called like janitorial services or something like that. I can't remember it was being coded somewhere else. It'll all align by excuse me [clears throat] January is when all that was redone >> and then the auditors are going to come they finished they're going to [clears throat] come in
041January to share out Yeah, the audit is complete and been submitted. They actually extended the deadline, but we had ours done by the normal deadline. Um, it's [clears throat] going to be, you know, good news. So, that's good. And they will present it in January. They just couldn't make this meeting or December's meeting. So, we have to push till January for them to present. I think you all were here [clears throat] for that last year. Were you? Maybe not. They usually come in December. So, >> maybe I was just present. We got >> I think at the audit for you guys were here when [clears throat] the audit lit took place, I Yeah, I was thinking you were maybe too, but maybe they didn't. >> Yeah, I know. I kind of written a copy of
042it. Must have been January. >> They might they might in January then. It's your very first meeting. >> Yeah, I think it was actually [laughter] >> handed a 100page packet. >> Yeah, exactly. Exactly. >> So, >> uh some other items for superintendent report. First thing I I reviewed this with the staff just to show just the sheer number of You could look here. Uh first quarter recap, just awards honors. You see, we we've recognized some of those, but um I'm not going to read them all. Some of the cool things that 77.8 pass rate for AP is awesome. Preschool five-star rating. The three kiddos who are national merit semi-finalists. Two of them were already here tonight for the band uh recognition. You see all of our teachers and coaches uh being awarded um with outstanding
043or coaches of the year. So, just some great things that that are occurring at Beachwood. Um so, Cool stuff there for awards and honors. And then we have another slide here of new initiatives. These are all the things that are new this year that between July and now. Uh the three Ps where I was able to meet with every staff member. Um superintendent award, the classroom visits through the whole district, the 2 by 2's with you guys. Um new scoreboard, all the phase C stuff starting. SAT is now we're now an SAT school through the state. uh the Edge13 program that'll be presented out uh here the next couple we presenting that January.

044family nights coffee conversations Tiffany's you saw her presentation Raybuck doing the newscast um MTSS process to do a more uh consistent intervention in elementary um just a lot of great things uh going on at Beachwood and my Tiger Nation I'm very cry. >> It's only two and a half hours. I shared it with her. It's on Spotify today. >> Two and a half hours. Oh my goodness. >> Is it 2 and 1 half hours? Two. >> Just overall. >> It's just really wet in the appetite. >> Did you think it would? >> You have to do it in phases. [laughter] >> Long walk around the neighborhood. >> Go 45 minutes. We'll get that. We'll trim it down to 45 [laughter] minutes. just put it >> visits. Um you see quite a few visits. We just
045had um >> just today Clinton County just last week Fleming County Fleming County is going to come back this end of this week and participate in our defensive learning for seniors. And so just the amount of collaboration I know a couple other schools, Greenup County, uh just want to learn more and and do the site visit and learn from us which we're going to reciprocate. we're gonna go to Fleming County and look at their local accountability model. So, great collaboration and uh amongst districts. So, it's it's fun to be a part of that. >> Uh November newsletter came out this weekend. We coupled that with a survey. We just sent the survey out to the district uh community. We sent it out to all staff and students tailored to that kind of that stakeholder. Uh
046and that will drive um feedback. That's feedback on the three strategic plan which will then drive our local accountability dashboard which will be able to share what people want. Local accountability dashboard uh premise is from the state of Kentucky. They want each school district to be able to share the stories that that school district wants to know more of. What does the community want to know and how do we tell them? And so this dashboard will uh we have a actually uh our innovation team is gonna help put that together. So sometime in the spring we'll be able to produce that. That's going to be a year and a half two years prior to when the state's going to require it. Uh so we're well ahead of the game. We're very far ahead of the
047game in regards to the content that we're going to put in that dashboard. It's just basically taking all the stuff that we're already doing that the state is asking for and sharing. And so this will allow us to do that. Um that's why you see all these visits. It's a lot of schools not just they're not worried about sharing it. They're worried about what do we do to share. So they're several years behind where we are. So we're proud of that work. Um but the work of this year is be like okay what type of platform do we uh put together so our community understands all the different things that are going on at Beachwood. Um the last gallery walk I did at the superintendent um the the initial superintendent. A lot of the the
048five pillars of the three-year strategic plan, we ask for feedback in each f each one of those areas. A lot of the feedback we receive are things that we're already doing. People just don't know a lot of the great stuff that's going on. So, we have to do a better job to provide that information and that's one of our our big uh priorities this year. Uh so, that survey went out. We'll use that to drive what what information and content goes on uh that dashboard. Phase C. Um we we had our initial phase C construction meeting today. Uh Toadvine is kind of the domino. That's the bleacher company. They have to get all their plans and preps and measurements. Once they unveil that, then that domino falls and then demo can begin. And so they
049said it's a few weeks for them to get all their plans and drawings and everything cuz they couldn't start that work until it was official. They start those drawings, then the demo and the G GC can get in and work with them to get that start that work started. So, or or a few weeks before um talked to the GC today. He said, "I can I can go in and demo, but if I demo now and get that work done, then it's going to sit there and it's going to get wet and muddy." >> He's like, "I'd prefer," and this is uh Bril Meer, GC, um I'd prefer to do it about a week ahead before when their plans are ready, they won't be ready to move. So, all once they're ready, you give me
0503 days and I'll get it demoed. And so, he said, "Just give me a week and a half, two weeks before they're ready." So that'll give him a window to to fit that demo in. He's a >> work work on the bid that was submitted or all the items that we were talking about. >> That's only on the contract part. Yeah. And so what we have to do, Joe's going to work with toe on the back end. Those projects are not as pressing as that. >> We want that press box for the baseball and the softball >> that the spring >> spring stuff. >> Okay. And then we're coming back to the Okay.
