001because uh we just we got thrown a curveball. We need to approve this PD advisory committee um so that they can approve uh the PD for the start of school because um that PD that's being approved by the PD advisory committee is going to count as instructional days. So, uh, two of our PD days will become as instructional days, which there's a there's a small requirement that says, okay, you got to put an advisory committee together and they that has to be proven for >> Okay, hold on. >> Okay. >> Can we say that again? >> All right. No. Uh, welcome to the Shogun Area Schools Board of Education special meeting, Tuesday, August 19th, 2025. Uh, Chris. Okay. Julie Loila >> here. >> Tim Tar >> here. >> Deborah Buunner >> here. >> Matt Narek
002>> here. >> Luke Kakovski. Travis Neville >> here. >> Richard Pan >> here. >> Please stand for the allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay. So now the only thing on our agenda is approval of professional development advisory committee. Um, at this point we have Heather Lake who is a seventh grade parent and also works for the district. Michelle Chase, fourth grade and works with and is a parent. Michelle Spies kindergarten and a parent. Um, Christy Brock, seventh grade math and a parent. Jenna Fox, special education. Carrie Lehei, second grade parent. What we do not have is um a representative from the high school on this committee. So
003is that a that means that they would not be involved in development of the PD? Is that >> No, that what so what what's going to happen is tomorrow I'm going to meet with those folks. They're going to look at our agenda for those two days that will be u approved by them to be counted as instructional days. So the the the agenda is already done. So the the first the first >> the the the one the first day that's going to count as an instructional day will be Tuesday which is the district welcome back day and we have embedded PD throughout that day. That's what they're going to look at and they're going to say yes or no and they've already approved it. So this is just semantics but um of that of that
0047.5 hour day we need to come up with five hours of PD approved in order approved by them in order for it to count as an instructional day. The other day that we're going to count this year and if you recall last year was three. We got him down to two this year and if it's up to the state sen uh the state superintendent he's going to eliminate this option alto together which I will be in support of but right now we've narrowed it from 3 to two the other day that they're going to approve is the copd day where the entire region all 10 school districts go down to Gaylord and they go um they spend 5.5 hours of professional development and this year I'm really happy to report that uh that program is
005going to be um uh Hadtie's work. If you guys are familiar with uh Hattie and his book and his uh metaccognitive research study, um he's going to be our guest speaker, which is very hard to get. He's nationally known. So, we're excited that we're going to get this gentleman to lead our professional development day at the COPD. >> Okay. So, there's no requirement that you need to work in every area. >> No. Isn't I mean if you're talking about building I mean Brock and Lake are up at the high school building >> high school building now. >> Well, I get what you're saying. They're not 9th through 12th grade teachers, >> right? >> They are in the building. >> And there's no requirement that there has to be someone from 912 in >> it's just
006a union states u because this is a state thing, right? The state saying you have to do this. >> Correct. Yep. >> Okay. The only question. Anybody else have any questions about it? Is there a particular reason why they were listing that they're parents? Like does that matter for >> Yeah, I think >> Yeah. Yeah. They want a the broader the committee the better. So they if if they wore two or three hats, if they're a parent, a teacher, >> whatever, that's just better. >> Yeah. >> To list that. >> Okay. Did they volunteer or or >> uh that was something that the union So the union's in charge of coming up with how they want to and I'm I'm imagining that it was because we're going to meet in the summer that Yeah. because
007they're not getting paid for this. So they're volunteers. Any other questions? Okay.
