003meeting. Is there anybody on the list? Anybody have a public comment at this time? All right. Item eight on the agenda is reports. All right, let's begin. School is back in session with our principal meaningful minutes. Um we will be doing something a little bit different uh coming up in October where we'll be showcasing um a staff member start staff member uh but for this meeting they're going to just kind of kick it off with their principal meaningful minute and um talk around some things that are taking place in the schools right now. So all right I can do it without the cane. So, excuse the informal, but uh the teachers had wear your favorite college sweatshirt. So, go Huskers. Um two two games in a row now. Um we had a great start to
004the school year this year. Um we kicked off with a very successful open house. We are only missing a handful of students. Um it's really nice because we give out a folder and then we can figure out who was there and who was not and then we can touch base with them before school actually starts. But on the first day of school, we um welcomed 418 new student students to RORO along with six new teachers and then four new LEAs. So we have you know what they say, one new person is a new team. So we're bringing all of those folks on board and on boarding them as best we can in all areas. Um these first couple of weeks, you know, at the elementary level, we're reviewing a lot of expectations and practicing those.
005So that's been happening and and is very successful. Um just to back it up a little bit during our back to school PD, we have our committees that met followed up from our um district continuous improvement team. And our four teams are our leadership team for literacy, our academic which is the multi-tered systems of support. Then we have a culture, climate and community uh committee as well as our positive behavior support. So, they're up and running and already making plans, and our next meeting will be in early October. Another new program we have at RO this year is communities and schools. You may have heard a little bit about it. We have a student support coordinator. Her name is Christy Weine Garden. And um if you're not familiar with CIS, it basically um surrounds students
006with community supports, empowering them to stay in school and really to be successful in life. So right now Christy is um conducting surveys of both parents and staff and then she'll take that information and determine where the best it's basically a needs assessment and she'll look to see where she can best serve our students. Last but not least, you know, I'm going to talk about English language arts and bookworms. We are up and running. Um gosh, we we asked teachers to start the second day of school, the first full day of school, which they did. Um third grade, we we waited a couple of days because they're not used to switching classes, and so we wanted the students to get acclimated to that. But all of our materials are pretty much accounted for. We're just
007wrapping up the 35J grant. If you could have been at RRO this summer, you would have seen six pallets um of books, five boxes high and five wide. And you know, I love books, but it's overwhelming. Um but just we are just so fortunate to have all these wonderful materials and I just don't know that we would have been able to do this without the grant. So I'm so grateful. Um but we're going to continue to follow the bookworms protocols which is three 45 minute blocks. One is shared reading one is the English language language arts which is a lot of writing and grammar. And then the third one is the differentiated instruction. And this year even though we're going to focus um on one area, we will be doing all three, but our focus
008area this year will be shared reading. We want to really get that down pat and then set goals within that area. So great start and thanks again for all your support. I'll go next. I too and it's Michigan because all my money goes to Michigan. Children go there. So that's you know wear a sweatshirt. So I'm pretty excited this year. So we had about 119 kindergarteners and young drivers. So we are up 30 students from last year. So, it's a busy little place this year. We have a new teacher, Claudia Ramsey, who was Mrs. Burner's student when she was in kindergarten. So, that's really fun. We have another bilingual LRE aid that we just hired. And we have a new behavior support specialist also at the MAC, which is really exciting. And so, we spent
009a lot of time on expectations and routines. And I think we got to the lunch line down, get the tray, slide on down. We're just about done with that. I'm grateful to all the parents because our drop off in the morning is working really well now and kids are coming in and it's just starting to run really smoothly. You never know at the beginning of the year and we forget like how much we're like but now now we're kind of gliding into it. So we're pretty excited. It's going well. Um devil's testing starts this week at all the buildings K5. So we'll be starting that. Bookworms. The same thing Sandy said. We're also doing bookworms and math. Um I'm going to talk about math a minute because I do. Um the coaches from the math
010coach from the ISD is going to come and visit us. She starts this week just to kind of go over the new revisions. We went to version three of our math program. So she'll be in to kind of guide us. We're going to make some goals, do some goal setting. And oh, and we had our LL ELELLL audit from 8 to 10 last Friday. And I just we had multiple staff members throughout the district that participated and had to answer questions. So, I'm very grateful to them for taking the time to answer the questions and they also really represented us with pride. I mean, we didn't have any findings. We just had some ideas for tightening up some of our protocols. So, it actually went really well. Question. EL. Oh, sorry. English language learners. It
011was part of the title three. So the federal programming title three and so and then of course spooky is our trip at the end of the end of the month. So that's the highlight of September. All right, I'll go next. Uh at the high school, I'll just say the same thing. Broken record. Great start to the school year. Um, we keep knocking on wood because the uh the freshman class is great. Like they're they know where they're going. They can open their lockers. They're calm and quiet. Um, so it's really been a great start to this school year. Uh, we're sitting around 415 students right now. So that's pretty good as well. Uh, we had first day of school assemblies. We started in the auditorium, reviewed expectations, went over a bunch of things together, and
012then we ended the day in the gym. um with our typical fight song competition. Each grade level had to come up with the grade level cheer. Of course, the seniors won. Um but we had a good time that day. New staff. We have um Phil Copes, who's our um we're going to call him our strength teacher. Uh we've changed our classes, our PE classes. They're called fit and strength and fit and well. Um he is on board um using the new weight room. Um, kids are really excited to be over there. Uh, Mr. Wood, we were able to find a Spanish teacher, which we've been looking for for a while. So, uh, we're glad to have him aboard. And then Mrs. Kylie. You might hear a little bit about her as we move through this
013year. She is called our student support counselor, and she is already hitting the ground running. Um, she's she's connecting with kids. She's helping them um when they're upset, reaching out to agencies. She's just going to be a really valuable player for us in in our team here. Uh we had an extracurricular assembly last Friday where we had all of the staff members who run an extracurricular club organization, created a slide. Most of them had kids come up and present about those extracurriculars so everybody knows um what they can do. There is a tab on our website if you want to see that as well um just explaining what our extracurriculars are. Um, Miss Fipps is now, um, she's our ninth grade English teacher. She also teaches one section of 11th grade. Uh, she's been here
014a long time and she over the summer, over the course of the last year, actually, has been certified in yoga and wellness. So, she's going to be working with our students during seminar on a rotational basis just on some some of our seals. Um, but she's also going to be starting a yoga club and she already has about a dozen kids signed up and she didn't even have a sign up sheet ready. So, that's exciting. She did a yoga session with the marching band on the last day of band camp. She's going to do one of the cheerleaders next week. Um, so so kids are excited about that as well. We have four exchange students, one from Germany, three from Spain. Um, we also had when our juniors took the SAT last year, they uh
015are eligible for some national recognition, national, they just kind of fall into different areas. And we had 11 juniors eligible for national recognition and five of them have been awarded, which basically means that those kids have gone in and accepted that recognition. So, we have to get on the other six. Um, but that was exciting to have 11 of those juniors qualify. Uh upcoming dates, the volleyball team is doing something new this year. They're having a teal out. It's on Thursday and it is to benefit ovarian cancer and they sold t-shirts for that. Um but come on out if you have nothing to do that evening and support our team and their efforts to raise money. Uh next Tuesday the soccer team is doing a teacher teacher appreciation game. Uh the girls did one in
016the spring. It's really cool. They invite a teacher who impacted them throughout their school career to be their special guests that night. Um Jim and I get to bring the game balls out to the center of the field. Uh so that's a good time. And then of course our Wildcat salute. Mrs. Wood um is organizing that and every year she wants it to be bigger and better. So on the 26th, the hour before the football game, that will be our Wildcat salute. There will be lots of presentations and interactive displays and things like that. So, make sure you're there for that. I love your thoughtful Thursdays, too. Updates. Those are fun to watch. They're fun to make. All right. At the middle school, um so we've started the year back. Everybody is excited. Uh lots
017of excitement from both staff and students. We have roughly 315 kids in the middle school uh this year. So, uh, we're up a few, um, couple of, uh, updates. We've had teachers in all summer long. Uh, I should say through the month of August were doing updates on curriculum and all of our content areas. So, um, I was really, uh, excited that they were able and willing to come in and put that work in uh, before the school year started. We have a couple of new classes that we're offering this year. We have a design thinking class that Cara Cryel is going to be teaching as an elective for our seventh grade students. And so that came out of um the the design challenge that she did with that group and brought to Grand Rapids
018last year um that the kids really enjoyed that. So that's now an elective. So that group will get to go to that design challenge. It's a an annual event now. It went it was very successful last year. So um there will be a number of uh schools in MS County taking part of that. it'll be a part of that class. Lots of other cool things going on as we're trying to connect uh with the community for some projects. So, thanks to Cara for taking that on. Um we also started a media tech class this year um as well. So, um Alex Hoffman is teaching that. So, um everything from creating some social media posts to creating some videos and you know thinking about the message and the purpose of what you're doing behind those things.
019Um, and more than just making a little fun dancing Tik Tok thing, we're trying to like what is the message you want to send with this and how do you tell that story for all of middle school kids. Yeah. Um, yeah. So then to think about how you tell that story to get your message across. Um, you know, how how do you that's different than than just making a fun video that you put out with your friends. So um, thanks to Alex for taking that on. That is not something he has a degree in, but it's just something he's willing to learn and and get involved in the tech side. So, I appreciate uh that our robotics team is getting started this week. So, um they're going to do first tech challenge this year. We
020did the kickoff uh event on Saturday with the team. They got a they got a tough um they got a tough challenge this year. They got a got a little 5cimeter uh they look like kind of whiffle balls and they have to move around and shoot them into a a goal that's three feet off the ground. So, they have to be able to launch then they come down into a little holding panel. They got to release them. it will recollect and shoot back up. So, um, a lot they'll have to do with the robots. So, that'll start Tuesday and they they are uh excited to go there. We also have football, cross country, volleyball. They're all underway. Their seasons have already started. Games are going. So, we have a lot going on after school uh
021every single day. Uh we had a group of uh staff members who also went to a training in June with safe and civil schools. There was representation from every building uh around increasing attendance. Um, so at the middle school we started a little slogan that every Wildcat every day attendance matters. So we're doing things to try and get kids to to show up to school every day. Uh, so and then there's processes that were part of that training on so when kids have barriers to showing school, what can we do? So they give some practical things with that. Um, so we're starting to work on those things along with some incentives for kids that are there. So we're going to start pulling each month uh drawings for all the kids who are perfect attendance. We
022just draw a few kids out. They'll get something And then we're going to we're going to start randomly picking a class um a week and if everybody in that hour is there and that class gets a little something. Um so we're going to just try a little bit of that see what we can do around attendance and trying to get how important it is that you're there uh every single day. And then we do have all of our um our committees are up and running again across the district that MTSS or the multi-tered system of support was a was an area that was picked by our district team for all of us to work on. So um our professional development is going to be all around how we're going to start with that process. It's
023a very big system if you guys would like to learn more about. We could talk hours about this system if you would like. Um I don't know that you want all the nitty-gritty, but I'm happy to share any of those parts for any of you that would like more information. be happy. We've talked to you a little more about it. Uh but we'll start to get into one focus and that's talking about kind of our base level tier one instruction. What does every kid get and how do we begin to systematize that in a very cohesive way. So if there are struggles, we know it's not about someone's go out to classroom. It's all the things going on. We can better plan for interventions. What did you call it? Multi-tered systems of support. MTSS. Lots
024of acronyms. We love our acronyms. We do. All right. Thank you to all our principles uh and their work uh with the staff. Um moving on to superintendent comments and winner reports. As you can see, there were some additional new hires uh within the support staff roles. U Madison Bayine cook at the MAC. Um coming back to the mira she also helps out with our JV softball uh team. Uh Heidi Munoz is an LE aid at RRO Grand Rapids Community College grad with an early childhood early childhood development. Um we have Cole Noel who has been with us but is moving from the sub status to a fulltime status. And then Pam Whey's cook aid at the high school is what high school graduate and has some experience uh at the M Christian. Um other
025uh superintendent comments as you heard uh from a number of those individuals. Um our counts do look to be up from where we predicted. So that's a good thing. At least above budget looking from last year at the end of this year it'll be close but yet as uh budgeted we're we're looking to be well over 40 uh students above budget uh next. So that'll be help. I don't know what that would mean because we don't have a budget surely. Uh but uh that is a uh a bonus uh for us uh across the district. What was our per student uh amount last year? Um per per the dollars per pupil. Yeah. Per pupil n 9,68 68. So 40 assume that's going to go up. We for 10,000 Fingers crossed. Uh, summer feeding. I do
026have something that I'd like to share from Mr. uh, Gorman. And this is summer uh, food service spotlights. Uh, this past summer, our amazing food service team hit the ground running um, and did not stop until the Monday after school ended. and uh uh or did it started uh the Monday after school ended and did not stop until last Friday. Uh they had over 51,679 meals served, 3,673 gallons of milk, uh 7,456 pounds of local produce from West Michigan Farms. Um our staff literally moved mountains of food because our service was in Rockberry. Uh they transported over 54,000 pounds of food, lifting and shifting it up to three times each trip. That's a grand total of 162,000 pounds carried uh by hand this summer. Um shout out uh of the summer. A huge thanks to
027Alicia Freeman who handled transportation for both Monu and North Moskegan's uh food service during the summer. uh thanks to our hard work and combined efforts helped serve 101,472 meals between the two districts uh which Mr. is also food service charger scheme as well uh to kids across our communities. Um it fuels this food, it fuels learning, growth and thriving. Um please join me in celebrating the incredible heart and hustle of our food service staff. So department and kudos to all our food service workers that did help in that process over the summer. Um last thing I have is just a legislative update. Not really much to tell you. um although they're um starting to need a little bit around some budgets and what that might look like, I think they're still um waiting for the
028other um individual to say first so that they can use that in a political ramification at the next year's election. Um but I think you're going to see some more information coming out from school districts across the state. um just warning of the possibilities of shutdowns and what that could mean or what some of the conversations that are taking place, how that could be um affecting schools. And I think the big thing is that the fiscal year begins October 1st and that's coming soon. And if that budget doesn't come through, there's only a certain period of time schools can operate and depends on the school. Some might be a week, some might be a month or a little after. Um, so that that is is something that we need to start thinking about or looking
029at. Obviously, we do our best to keep the kids in school. I think that that's an important part, but we'll see. There's still some time, but there seems to be a big opposition as to where these budgets are currently at. How long would we be able to run? Um, Stacy, we just looked it up. We can get through the second payroll in November. Okay. And that's based on fun. Yep. Correct. Obviously once something is established it would uh work it hopefully work its way back uh those dollars. Um hopefully there is plenty of proposals out right now to shift existing expenditures from the general fund uh into the into the school aid fund and to increase the school district's retirement liabilities. So um there's a number of different uh prop like I said proposals. So,
030proposals divert almost $2 billion from the K12 school aid fund to pay for roads and universities. Uh, which is something that obviously in the K12 world we're not really looking to do um in and a shout. So, um there's still uh lots to be done and I think that's the concern as to why there could be an October uh one shutdown. Um there's also the federal ramifications that are in the same boat and so we can see shutdowns on both sides both at the federal and the state level. So, um there's I have a ton of information and I'm share a new document I got today, but just know that school districts um are going to be working usually with their ISDs or from the state level to start sharing some more of that information
031as to what's taking place and um what shutdowns look like or where you know some of the more detail around the retirement uh components that they're looking to possibly change that they've done in the past but maybe moving it back and it can become very complicated. I don't want to bore you with all that, but if you have more questions, please feel free uh to ask on that as well. And that is it for superintendent comments. All right. Item nine on the agenda is new business. 9A is consideration of approval of upgrading the fire protection systems for RRO Elementary, NBC Middle School, and Monu High School with funds from the sinking fund. The suggested motion to approve the bid for the upgrade of the fire protection system at RRO Elementary, NBC Middle School, and Monu
032High School in the amount of 59,440 81 from Johnson Controls was with funds from the scing fund support. Any discussion? All right. see the dollar amount of $59,440.81 that would be Ror NBC and MU high school. Um obviously based upon RORO at 110,65 at the middle school and 233 at the high school. Uh for this project the RP we are using Sourcewell which is a cooperative purchasing program that meets all the state bidding requirements. Johnson Controls was awarded uh that source well contract for this project. And you can see that the documentation shared with you in your board fuller uh all the details their contract what that looks like. Johnson Controls Control bids the job to ensure we're receiving the best price from their subcontractors and fall at or below the labor amounts approved in
033the sourceful contract. We currently have approximately $615,000 in our syncing fund. Uh we're expecting an additional 150,000 this fall from the summer tax collection. um and an additional $250,000 this winter spring from the winter tax uh collection. We have enough money in the scing fund to pay for this project as well as the middle school roof replacement that we'll talk about shortly uh in our next as well. Any additional discussion or questions? I just have one. When you use Sourcewell, how do they tie in local businesses to be able to bid on that? uh source well does not Johnson Controls does. Okay. So Johnson Controls is awarded from Sourcewell as a as like a manager contract when Johnson Controls goes out to make sure they get those prices. Cool. All right. Any additional questions? All
034those in favor? Opposed? Motion carries. Item B is consideration of approval of replacement of the middle school gymnasium roof with funds from the scing fund. Suggested motion to approve the bid for the replacement of middle of the middle school gymnasium roof in the amount of $84,884 from Arrow Roofing and supply with funds from the scing fund. Okay, any discussion? All right, so on Friday we had the bid opening uh at 3 p.m. uh for this middle school repair arrow roofing uh did win. It was the $82,000 bid with the additional pad rental which was to make sure that uh the outer area the basketball little court area behind the middle school would be damaged or uh sidewalks or some of those would be the additional uh dollars attached to that but still bring it in
035as the lowest bid. Uh they are deemed to be a reputable uh company within the area uh that request feels comfortable with. Uh we did work with uh the guy from Master Tech uh rope management that helped in putting in the RFP. We shared uh bids with him as as far as uh making sure that it was good uh and updated as well. Um he did speak with Arrow Roofing early in the morning. We got the specifications. Um they confirmed the job will be completed within three working days including edge metal installation and b clean up of course. Um we consider the additional cost. He he recommended the additional cost of the large protective pads. The concrete area where the claim will be set out at this stage and these pads will further damage. Um
036and he thought that this was a good any additional discussion. Have we used them before? Have we used any of these people have been contract? I know arrow is utilized a lot in fruitport is how from Tom's conversation. I don't know Stacey you know of the names. I feel like there was one that we have used but it's not a regular company that we used. Okay. J Stevens has done repairs for us. effectively trying somebody based on recommendations and master vetted that you he has vetted that out and then through his conversation with other directors and food this will be done before winter yes that's why we brought it so try to get it all right any addition Additional questions. All those in favor? Yes. Opposed? Motion carries. Item 9 C, consideration of approving Khloe

Um this is well there is a as you can see the meth uh there is methods of selection.

I'd spend the evening there. They really need you there um for a couple of things that they need quorums for to be able to vote on. Um so, I usually would just go for that evening. I'd believe you get home a little late, right? Because it's an hour and a half, right? Grand Travers is going to be a little bit more of
042a drive when I look at that. I mean, that's going to be a three-hour drive to get up there and back. Um, you can stay. I mean, it's a three or four day thing.

Item eight or 9G is second reading adoption of policy 5610. The suggested motion is to approve the second reading and adoption of policy 5610. So moved and Joel any discussion? So as you may remember this is the second reading of uh this of our of our summer updates and it was
045because we wanted to make a change um at the first meeting which then backed it up one meeting. So this would be the second reading where we would need action. This is policy 5610. Uh and on the bottom of page two of the policy 5610 under long-term sus suspension or expulsion, what we did look to change that the superintendent may suspend a student for a period longer than 10 days, which was the previous number of 10 days, but no longer than 35 without board action. The board shall act on any appeals to this decisions. And this was in an effort to make sure that we could get it to the next board meeting. We always know that we would have that uh within a next These would be for our long-term situations where we're looking
046at a possible uh expulsion or long-term suspension. Any additional questions? All those in favor? Opposed? Motion carried. Item 10 is adjourned. So move. All those in favor stand up and check your laptop.
