031these two ladies are always um trying to find something to do to promote both our school system and our city and our students so miss blenford would you mind telling us a little bit about uh these ambassadors and uh some of the opportunities provided to them through this program so one of the neat things about this program um is they actually have to go through an application process so it's not just hey I put my name in the Hat and now I'm a city Junior Ambassador um we have had the last two years we've had close to 40 students submit an application and then Megan and I along with a couple of other folks um have the tough job of of dwindling that down to 10 to 10 to 12 children um and so we

032always have such high um you know High achieving students that are in the program and it's no different this year we have had um a great time and it's hard to believe that the application for next year is already open but we've we've visited what the water utility we've gone to Power and Light it was actually interesting they went to water utility right before the city had our water meter situation um so that was fun that they got to kind of reference back to that and um just kind of look at what they had learned um so it was kind of cool just to give them that real life application and that's kind of the goal of the program is to kind of let them see what we're doing behind the scenes to make sure

033that they live in a thriving Community thank you m blanford and do we have any of your families here okay well let's all squeeze in here tight and we'll get a picture together Miss Kirkwood come on there's one of our our families come on Miss Richmond yes someone wanted uh you're the fan well miss miss um sandord will do it she said I'm not squatting I'm thank you painful next right yeah next on our agenda this evening is to approve the minutes from our prior meeting oh sorry I knew there was nobody to do public participation but I have to say that out loud is there anybody here that would like to speak okay thanks um the to approve the minutes to our prior meeting um our board received those minutes in our packet um

034it was on February the 17th a regular board meeting and a special Finance Corporation meeting do we have any questions about the minutes I entertain a motion second there's nobody else here to do it all of you in favor a i next is our reports I couldn't find it um our strategic plan report and Dr Lawson is going to speak to that uh yes ma'am it's Mr Robin if you'd pull up our our video here so every other month we do a strategic plan report on one of the bullets from our strategic plan and so one um our goal is to get everybody on the same page working together pulling in the same and rolling in the same direction to support our students in their achievement and uh Miss mortise I mentioned her skills and

035communication Miss Haley among others have uh we're going to work on a video series that helps maybe just you always hear a picture is worth a thousand words so we want to put that together here and begin our strategic plan report at Henderson County Schools we are committed to academic excellence every Student Success matters and we take intentional steps to ensure they reach their full potential We Begin by using math assessment to assess student growth and identify individual learning needs these scores help us understand each student strengths and areas for improvement our Educators meet often to analyze these results share best practices and create personalized learning plans we ensure that all students are pursuing excellent but our commitment doesn't stop in the classroom we work closely with District leaders and community members to set goals

036align resources and continuously improve our instructional strategies these Partnerships help us create a learning environment that supports both students and staff through datadriven decisions collaboration and dedication we are shaping a future where every student thrives at Henderson County Schools we pursue Excellence every student every day yeah so thank you again to all our principles um all of our technology folks all our directors um it's quite an undertaking to get all of those things going in the same direction you know we know that teaching is very much an art but there's very much of science behind the strategy in terms of looking at student data giving assessment having response systems students setting goals classroom setting goals working with families to help achieve that goal for the student and when we say all those things that's what

037the pursuit of Excellence is all those folks working together toward one common goal for better better student achievement so thank you thank you um on the agenda we have new business and Miss Casey W is gonna talk to good evening as you will have seen in your board packet I am here tonight requesting that we reduce the number of student instructional days from 175 which is our current number of instructional days our students attend to 174 um in the state of Kentucky we're required to have a minimum of 170 days of instruction and 1,062 hours of instructional time in Henderson County Schools we go above and beyond that um we've gone 17 for quite a long time in addition to that we max out our number of instructional minutes in our middle school and we

038are almost maxed out in our high school when I say that I mean by law we could not go any more time so we um we are going we have our kids in front of our teachers as much as physically possible but over the past few years we have noticed um a few things first off a shift in our new staff um that you know we do have a lot of younger staff in addition we have a lot of staff that are emergency certified and alternative certified meaning they have a college degree but it might not be in education at all um and so their first learning with teaching and behavior management and all those things is happening in the classroom um we have felt for the last few years that we need more time

039um with our staff to properly provide the training and development that they need to excel in Henderson County schools and for our kids um one way that we see that we can do this is the possibility of reducing student instructional Days by one day um a teacher and a classified staff member their contract would remain the same so what that would do would be it would provide our classified and certified staff with one additional well with our classified staff it'd be a training day for them most of them don't have do not have any sort of training day at all at this point uh but this would provide our teachers and certified staff with one additional professional development day and our classified staff with One professional development day so do you have any questions in

040regards to this well yes there is so my thought is that um if this is approved then I have a few drafts um we I have a proposal to amend the 2526 school year calendar um we wouldn't have to redo everything we can just do an amendment to it so we would like this to be effective for the 25 26 school year if this is approved um I would be bringing next month to the board a an amended uh proposal for the 2526 academic calendar thank you um I would entertain a motion to approve beginning in 2025 26 school year the number of student instructional days would be reduced by one day and second all those in favor say the vote is unanimous I forgot to say that part thank you very much that is

041that that is very huge I agree next on our agenda under new business is the hchs miscellaneous interior Renovations project Dr Watson thank you m Williams so a couple uh meetings back um we secured an RFP for um a study uh some architecture at our school at the high school primarily for some smaller projects and uh for that um you approved Ross Terren to do that and so tonight I wanted to tell you a little bit about what those projects what those projects um are so tonight I'm just asking I I'll go into that just a minute but I'm just asking tonight that you approve the architect uh for as Ross tant for those projects there in B1 um we have a motion I would entertain a motion to approve Ross parent Architects as the

042architect for the Henderson County High School miscellaneous interior Renovations project and second all those in favor the vote is unanimous Dr wson thank you ma'am if you'll move down to approve the owner architect agreement pull these up if you would then also um approve the owner architect agreement um with Ross tan and I wanted to talk to you just a little bit about some of the projects therein get them pulled up here um so at the high school we have an opportunity to work on our culinary unit and make some uh changes there at Henderson County High School uh for the culinary class uh we're going to um repurpose what is now one of our Labs uh and move under our industrial maintenance program to What U kind of on the back wall more towards

043the manufacturing and the automotive side of things and then that for the um where that lab used to be then will become our culinary U new culinary unit and so that's we're pretty excited to have that and Advance our Career and Technical education department again and then on the other side of that is uh in the red unit uh there's a possibility for us to do uh build a student strength training center we know that we have very high performing athletic teams our Administration is working very hard to um to get that in students schedule to help develop our students in every single way so we can be competitive on the field on the on the court and so those are the two main projects there're in and so tonight I'd ask that you approve

044the owner architect agreement um there for Ross tan to do those projects okay I would entertain um a motion to approve owner and architect agreement for the hchs miscellaneous interior Renovations project as presented by Dr wson second all those in favor say I the vote is unanimous thank you um next is to review accept the revised 8.22 a.21 parent teacher conference form chrisy yes ma'am um tonight we ask that um you review our parent teacher conference form so each spring um when we are looking at student progress and and start to talk about any students that maybe um don't need to be promoted to the next grade um we we look at the information that needs to be delivered to the parent discussions all kinds of things and what we've realized is that our form

045that we used hasn't been updated since 1997 and so we thought it was probably appropriate for maybe this to reflect some of our current practices different language that we use versus um in 1997 so I have for you tonight just a few changes um like I said most of it is just updated language um includes like current assessment data terms that we use reflects that we use map testing um and on the back um the area listed specifically for uh reasons for recommendation the principles um we worked together to create this they felt that it was very important um and they they were really adding additional documentation to what we were using in order to have specific areas for those parents to to know exactly why the recommendation might be for non-promotion um so we

046ask tonight that you if you have any comments or recommendations U we will definitely take those into consideration but we feel like that this is a much more accurate picture of a form that we can use to have a parent teacher conference with our with our parents and families especially since it hadn't been updated since 19 1997 yeah um do you all have any questions on the for the board there were no changes to the policy it's just the procedural form yeah okay the board doesn't have to approve administrative procedures just to review these um with with an opportunity to comment so there's no board action on this particular thing okay next is our consent agenda and on our consent agenda we have seven items um each one of these I'm just going to mention
