Um Lauren and I will be uh handing out the diplomas. um finance committee meeting June 5th at 7:30 a.m. and the next regular board meeting is June 9th uh 6 pm right here. Next, I'd like to move
002to um share the ext uh share the success. I'd like to invite the representatives from the Minnesota School Board Association up to the front for a special share the success presentation. Well, good evening or Mr. Chair and good evening uh school board members. My name is Kirk Shadow, executive director for the Minnesota School Boards Association and joining me is Melind Sahonyi. Melinda is a Wisetta school board member and he also serves as MSBA board of directors representing the region of the state that includes the West Tanka school district. We are proud to announce tonight that West Tanka High School student Mason Sebasti is one of the recipients of the Minnesota School Boards Association's 2025 Roberty Meek Student School Board Member [Applause] Scholarship because I was just looking at the email here because it reminded me
003and I was like when would it tell me and it says we'll notify you people here. That is very on his mind. That was awesome. That is so good. Well, I want to congratulate you, but I just want I got a couple more things I want to say. The scholarship will award Mason $3,000 to use toward postsecary education. MSBA gives this award to only three student reps in the entire state. The award was started back in 2009 to reward and encourage students to become involved in the governance of their school district and learn about the importance of having locally elected school board members. The primary role of schoolboard members uh is about student success and that is why board members run for office and they put all their time and effort into what they do.
004There's no better way to get input as a board member than getting it directly from our students and your student representative. In Minnesota, we have 134 of our 331 of our school districts have a student representative on their school board. So, the West Tanka school board should feel very proud to have Mason working with them. As West Tanka school board chair Gary Wner wrote in his letter, Mason exemplifies what I feel is a student that goes the extra mile to make our school a better place. Very cool. I'm going to turn it over to Meen to say a few more words about the scholarship committee and how the selection went. Meen, thank you Kirk and congratulations Mason. I want to first of all thank Bruce and Emily I don't know who she is the district
005admin assistant for coordinating this to a team. I have a 7:00 meeting for my Visetta school board. So I have to take off. I have to fly as soon as you you're done. So thank you Kian. A committee of five MSDA board directors selected their three winners from nearly 50 applications. I'm one of those committee members and choosing these recipients was a difficult task. Out of all the high achie achieving students that applied, Mason was one of three students that stood out from the rest. The committee recognized Mason for his strong academic record, his involvement in student government, his community engagement and and his participation in multiple sports. Also, Mason is very active in school clubs. He played a key role in reviving the school's unified club which supports students disabilities, students with disabilities and
006fost fosters an inclusive environment. On top of all these activities, Mason also found time to be a co co-owner and co-founder of a landscaping business. Wow. As the students representative for the Westona core planning group for high school remodel, Mason brought forth many great ideas, including how best to lay out classrooms to create a more inviting and comfortable learning environment for students. At the board table, Mason provided the West Hanka School Board with detailed reports on the high school's academic sports, arts, and clubs and would explain the impact these activities have on the school. In her letter of recommendation for Mason, Mount Westona High School principal has this to say. Through 26 years as an educator, I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful young people. Mason stands out as one of the top
007students I have worked with and he will be an excellent representation of your scholarship. It is our honor today, Mason, to award you with the MSPA scholarship. [Applause] Let's hold it up a little bit higher. That's great. I just got out of baseball. I know. It's beautiful. It works out. Get some of the board out. Thank you. background. Perfect point. Do we have any uh members of the public who wish to address their board? Um none. Then we'll move on to reports. We'll go to the student rep report to make it good now. Yeah. [Laughter] [Music] Yes. Okay, cool. So, yeah, student senate. We've had a very busy past month. This is normally our busiest time of the year just with prom and we have some other activities we planned. So, we planned the student
008for staff basketball game that was pretty successful. And I think the staff won this year, which was little yeah first time they won. So, pretty cool. And then we had prom on May 3rd. So the grand march and coordination were at in the pack um at the high school and then the venue was at Gailwood's farm. So after grand marching coronation we just drove over there. Um for prom queen it was Bella Bmill. She was very excited when she won. And then for prom king it was Braden Trundle. It was a very successful night. A lot of people stayed. We had we went all the way till the end with the DJ which rarely happens. So yeah it was a very fun night. Yeah they kicked me and they sounded fun. We also had our
009senior decision day on the national decision day which was May 1st. It was great to see where everyone's going. We have a lot of people going to the same schools, a lot of people going really far. So, it was fun to see where everyone's going. And we had our DECA international competition. We had 50 people competing and we had three groups make to international finals, which is really difficult. Some categories have up to 600 people and only 20 groups make it to finals. So, we had three finals and one team get third place out of the 20,000 people competing there. So, that was really exciting. Got a glass trophy, which is always what we're excited about. And this week they're figuring out new officers for DECA next year and who's going to be president, vice
010president, all that stuff. Yeah. And then, um, letters of love, they've, uh, continued having their monthly meetings. Those they just make different cards to send to hospitals or other causes, um, where people are struggling. So, yep. Rotary Club, as I was just discussing with Gary, we're figuring out our pizza party and it's going to lead the club next year. We don't have a lot of younger members, so we're gonna have to get recruiting. And then National Honor Society, they hosted a blood drive last month. They donated 56 units of blood, which can save up to 168 hospital patients, which is a really big deal as those were all students donating for most of them were students. And then NHS juniors and seniors, they have induction coming up this Thursday night in the pack. So that's
011a fun event where seniors will get recognized and then juniors are inducted into NHS. We also also have scholarship night coming up this Wednesday which is always really fun. So encourage you guys to come help come. Yes. And then Tonka Bots they went to worlds again as you may know that was in Houston. So they placed fourth or Yeah. Okay. So they made it to semifinals in worlds and then I believe they had like a slight malfunction in their robot and then this past weekend they placed fourth in the state event as there was another slight malfunction but all in all they did very good with um making it far in the competition and getting good alliances in at worlds. So yeah um and unified club is beginning to plan the event for the end
012of the year all about it and continue to meet on Thursdays. I know they've had some guest speakers from local churches and things. So, seems to be thriving well. Yeah. And then our own George Pettit, he was elected for the Minnesota State um association honors society association board. Um he's the vice president of that. So, he'll basically go around and plan a project for the board that other schools can do. And then he'll also plan the state event for the board of honor society. And we're continuing to sell yearbooks. Yes. All right. And then the track, they've been competing through the months of April and May. I'm not sure on specifics of that because there's so many different events and so many different people competing. So, I know they have probably a competition a week,
013one or two a group. So, yeah. I think they have conference coming up this week. So, that'll be exciting. Boys baseball's four and nine, but they're looking to bounce back tomorrow against family. Yes. Yep. And then boys volleyball. We're currently five and four, which is good for us. It's our first year as a sanctioned sport and we've been having a lot of close games and good competition. We play Chesa Chan tomorrow night. Softball is 8 and seven and they're playing Norwood Young America tonight. Um, boys lacrosse, they haven't found a win yet. I believe they're playing tonight right out there against Holy Family. So hopefully tonight's the night where they can do that. Girls lacrosse is four and four and they're playing Holy Gh tonight which I think is quite a record for them. They
014caught some amazing season. So that's exciting. Yes. Um for arts, so the spring choir concert that will be tonight I believe it's in the pack and I'm guessing there's a lot of different groups singing within the choir. So that'll be fun to get stuff over at. And the spring band concert was last Monday night. I think it went well. Yeah, not sure on that. And then the Mama Mia, they had a very successful showing. I know it was two weekends in a row, I believe. and I went to one of them. I was just absolutely amazed by the work they put in and it was very fun with all the music from ABA and all that. So yeah, for academics, we've had our AP testing happening currently. So I think it's been going pretty well.
015I don't know. We had a test this morning. All the we've had in the past sometimes been problems with like network issues because they're all in computers and we haven't had any issues yet this year that I know. So it's going to be well. And then finally for the Weston update. So we have Cole drill and Cole Monster Tiger. They're going to be the recipients of the Yos Hadar Leopold award. They had a tie which is very rare occasion. I guess that doesn't happen much. So they're both excited and that's for their athletic um work and the first one cold drill. Yep. And then Coleman and then Audrey Kers was the recipient of the Award which is the same scholarship as well. Cool. Any questions what's going on? No, but I want to tell you
016guys it's been great having you guys here this year. You've done a fabulous job. And on behalf of everybody here, did a little something for you guys. Thank you very much. That's so nice to see you. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. Thank you guys. We really appreciate you. So, thank you. [Laughter] [Applause] Um, yeah, take the check with me. Cash. We'll move on to the Cross Anderson construction report. Thanks again, guys. Thanks, guys. Thank you. That's a second uh student from West received that scholarship. We had another one about seven years ago. The first year I was on Who was that? Real. Yeah. No, not RO. Hey everyone, just wanted to give a brief update on the West Tanka High School Grand View Tennis Court project updates. So, we're going to start with high school
017since well, I have it on the screen. So, one of the things that we're recently going through is we are experiencing some permit delays and this is well beyond like what anything that um Krauss Anderson or W would have been anticipating because we did get it out to the state for review here at the end of April which is ample time to get it reviewed here by the start of April or end of November. End of November we got it to the state and beginning of April here. So, it's kind of pushed our scheduled start back for this area of the building right here, which is the classroom additions in the northwest corner of the building. And lower level is science classrooms. Upper level, I think, is social studies is down here. Yeah. Um, so
018we're having to restructure how we're looking at the phasing on the completion for some of these areas. that we've been working on recently and I'm probably getting ahead of like all the descriptions here. Lower this so I can reach um but we've have we've been having some internal discussions. So what the priority is is giving enough classrooms for the students to get into at the start of school here and I think that count is about 20 if I remember correctly. Um so what we're doing is we're saying at this point in time these classroom additions here might not or will not be done at the start of school. based on where we're at with schedule, but we are going to try to do a phase one over here for the lower level. Um, and one
019of the another thing that we're probably going to have to do is finish this upper level south portion of classrooms right here and get those turned over ahead of time. And that south portion in the upper level will include the stair tower and the southern portion of the addition on both levels. and that will get us the amount of classrooms that were required to get back online for the start of school. We feel it's doable at this point in time. We're meeting with subcontractors again tomorrow morning to try and get one file because we want to make sure for sure at least to the best of our ability that we have everything in place to be able to finish those levels and we think we do but we just want to get buy in from
020every single person on our team both included. and Kevin said that you'd gotten permits to start the pilings or the footings. Thank you. We have gotten verbal authorization from the state to start the footings of foundations. Yep. Still waiting on some of the other stuff. We are still waiting on the actual permit itself. So I'm glad you brought that up. So with that said, we still don't have the final permit to go beyond the foundations. So do we know when when you think those are going to be done? I mean I know it's not fair. You don't have the permits yet, but assuming a very fair question. If you would have asked me two weeks ago, I would have told you would have had it already. But there's just this back and forth between the
021state and some of the questions I feel are just some I feel like are a little bit extensive. So is there something going on at the state that's I mean is this kind of going on across the board you think or Yes, I do think it's going across the board. So, we're not unique in this. No situation. I've actually had other projects at Cross Anderson, one in particular where it was a smaller small enough job where the state actually gave a refund on the permit so they could push it to a local jurisdiction to review the permit instead of the state. So, they're offloading some I think they're smaller projects. I don't speak for all of them. So, they got a staffing issue. So, it sounds like something. I don't know. I don't know if
022I can say that or not, but I I think when we worked when we worked with Dustin, one that's important is we looked at in the original phasing plan how many classrooms do we have so we can operate school and so we're committed to that plan of turning those over. I think the second thing is the end duration of this plan that's not impacted on it but we do have to reshape what we're turning over when. And so when Cross Anderson has an updated phasing plan, then we'll upload that to our website of what it is. But I think everyone's clear of what the goal is of how we need to start in August. And then when we're not starting with those uh classroom additions, you take out some of the things you can't control
023like weather and other factors that could cause further delays. When the classrooms that you're turning over are more interior, you reduce some of those uncontrollable factors. Yeah, what Kevin brought up is a really good point is the areas that are affected is not the overall, but I would say within this area right here on the and second level. The end date is still December. It's just how they get turned over in that time frame between now and then is what's going to be altered. Let me ask this question. Yeah, we have contingency dollars. Yes. All right. If we use contingency dollars to to overtime or whatever, can we get caught up that we could get those done in in that time frame or is it just financially not? I think it becomes I think we're
024at I think right now we're probably at the point of no return where I don't think we can even offer up even paying overtime to get that back. I mean there's always a chance but there's a lot of work and it's probably diminishing returns on what you get versus what you can spend. Good. So I think the the main piece of what I've heard from this update is that they're shuffling some of the phasing around the end date. uh is still where it's at. That hasn't changed. And the goal of turning over those classrooms still is uh what's going to happen. It's just where are those classrooms located is the shift. Is that fair to That's fair. So like everything you even see in blue down here, like this area, that's still on the table.
025Like that's still sketched get turned over. It's just everything on the exterior. Then we'll turn over a couple more classrooms on the upper level right in here. Um, but with that said, I do have more detailed information on at least on the upcoming month. Um, so we did demo the stair tower here this past week. When I say stair tower, there was one that was located just on the southern half right here. We'll get into pictures here, too. But then we are going to be starting the footing excavation here in a few days. I'm showing Thursday on this schedule, but that might have changed, but sometimes just in time for rain. Yeah, severe weather coming in through. So, it may change again. And then we have installing our footings and foundations and that should be
026going through May here into June. And with that said, we do have all that listed out here for the construction updates. So you see all the work that we have scheduled in May. And the lower level and main level for phase two, which is going to be those classrooms we were talking about on the interior of the building. Then phase three is this is referring to you go back up to the phasing plan. You're going to be looking at this area right here, which is the front entry. How long ago did we get the verbal okay to start foundations and stuff? When was that? Was it early last week or the week before? Late. The week before. Yeah, it was it wasn't last week. It was a week before that. It was actually the utilities
027that probably held us up for a while. We probably we could have gotten started with utilities a lot sooner. But I think this at the time the state felt uncomfortable giving up the giving us the authorization to start the underground utilities. So that piece is actually what's holding it up more than the foot of the foundation starting. Um, but here are some photos here that happened through May. We got one demo there too. Um then Grand View updates. I don't have any pictures for Grand View yet really because not much has happened. I didn't want I honestly or John not gone into the tunnels to take any pictures. But um John did to inform everybody that they had started the pre-installation meetings with all the contractors just to make sure everybody's dialed in before summer
028does start so everybody has a clear expectation of what our work plan is, which direction we're going to start or where we're going to start, which direction we're going to go. And that's mostly for Grand from what he said, there was no nothing holding him up. So permit, everything's fine. It's just that from the city, right? Yes. Yep. Okay. Yeah, stones throw away, but it's frustrating. Um, then the tennis courts, we did get an update from Peterson Companies. What we thought was going to be about a twoe window of doing the work here at the tennis courts turned into more around a month. There was more work other than the surfacing. So, the surfacing of the court does take 10 to 14 days like we had previously been informed. But they also have shop blasting,
029caulking joints, doing um water testing to make sure that the there's not too many dips in the surface of the quartz before they put the surfacing on. So shop blasting, they did start this past Saturday. So that work will be going. They have about five to seven days of shot blasting the concrete, then cocking joints and doing water testing for another three days. Surfacing the quartz should take around the 10day mark. And then you have about three days of cure time. So it's about that 25 to 30 days. Well, that surfacing temps consistently above what 50? Yes. Which later next week we might we might have some in the 40s there. So then after they do all that then they still got to be painted and all that stuff. I think the painting is included.
030Yep. So, uh, we're going to put out communication this week that we're going to, uh, reset, uh, ribbon cutting. We're going to organize that with the fall season. Yeah. When the team is back and then we're going to do an orientation for community members that want to use it for pickle ball. Once the courts are completed, we'll start that. So, we're thinking that'll be the end of June, uh, mid end of June that we'll organize that. that we're in communication. They kind of have an email system amongst people that like to play and we'll put it out once we have a date. So, they've been good. Everyone's been really good and cooperative. Of course, everybody wants some now and yet um we're they're handling this well. How does the scheduling work for for those courts?
031So, the priority goes to school programming one and then uh when they're not being used by an athletic team or a community program, then they're up for a community use. In the past, we really haven't had a challenge about monitoring that and we're going to kind of see how this year goes. There's some talk about how we can post different like what are our our camps and what are our what's our schedule so people know that availability. We're just trying to understand are we solving a problem that isn't a problem or is it something that we have to post someplace of what our program is for courts. So, we have a little bit yet to further further explore with that. I would think that' be on the community website, you know, because they do that
032with all the courts and stuff inside, whatever. And you're going to know that these are the programs that are going on. And then you can have open dates like you do with the calendar that open pickle ball, open, you know, that that sort of stuff. conditioning people to look at a website, you know, that's always when I talk about summer camps, there there will be some events that really draw uh a larger camp, but for the most part, there should still be available courts in addition to our camps. When it's practice or meets on weekends or after school, they'll get used up. They'll they'll all be used for that. So, but I so far we haven't had an issue. I just know that these are going to be a lot more popular with our community
033and surrounding communities because they're the new courts. And so, we'll see what kind of focus that brings. But excited for them to be um to be used by all. Uh so we have a facilities meeting on uh on Wednesday and we will uh talk a little bit further about uh where we're headed and then Dustin will be back here. He's going to be at our June July August meeting. So tracking how things are going this summer. And so uh that July update will be or that June update will be a good update. And then the July one's going to be a really important update of just how are we continuing to progress. Any questions for Dustin? Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you everyone.

Um any committee reports at this time? If not, we'll move on to the superintendence report. Kevin, yes. Uh, so May is always an exciting time as the students were talking about a lot of different events and celebrations for board members that were at our recognition banquet. Uh, just a really special time. We recognized staff for years of service. We did our teacher of the year. We did our Nimer award winner and then also our retirees. And so it's really a it's a nice rare time that our staff can come together and you highlight a lot of
036staff and volunteers efforts that make this district great and uh really nice event. We um on your agenda today you're going to have the technology plan. Uh Mark and Corey have communicated that uh to their joint parent advisory to our our board at a teaching and learning uh committee. Uh really it covers five different areas of infrastructure, technology security, hardware, user experience, and innovative technologies. And so it's really laying out a plan of how we can continue to build up our our uh support of student learning and our staff work. And so trying to um move that along. Um Mark would up just give you an update that uh the department of education just released the graduation rates and West Tonka was at for the high school was at 97.4. Uh that's really a combination
037of a lot of different efforts and so you don't get 97.4 before, but just by getting it and I think uh Jolene and the high school staff and Mark have put a lot of focus in after the pandemic really looking at attendance and really looking at uh making sure that we get back into a school routine and I think that's an indicator that um people are invested and they're working and so this is just one of many measurements that you look at what makes strong results for a school. There's many others that go with it, but pleased with um where that's gone. We're in the middle of state testing and so we're wrapping that up. We're kicking off AP testing as he mentioned. He's doing a lot of work with vocational programming right now and
038we just had a meeting with construction trades here last week. Jolene Mark and I last Monday met with parents and community members that wanted to engage with us on the direction of our programming. And it's it's really the small school advantage of how people come and they try to offer their time, talent, ideas of how we can make the best program that we can have. And so a good turnout. Yeah, we we really did have a nice turnout. And when we've had a nice turnout for our nursing program, for our machining program, and also this. So we definitely feel like there's partners there. Um what some of our questions in these meetings is really understanding scaffolding like what are we building towards and as employers or people that are in these industries what would you
039like to see from graduates and kind of how do you take on students that come from high schools uh to be successful in your fields? And so um really really good discussion and really helped direct uh some of our programming and also confirmed where some of it is headed. I'd share with board members that a policy today we talked about goal setting and I'm going to try to work with board members schedule here in June or if it has to be July July to find an afternoon time slot that we can continue to advance our goal setting process as uh we've talked about and as you've been involved in we looked at our current goals and we hope to adopt new goals by December. uh this is something that's exciting because it's uh we're ready
040for that next next challenge in that direction and that process. And so I'll be uh working with Emily to reach out to try to get uh people's schedules that we can find an afternoon that we can further advance some of those conversations. Um with with that I think also in your agenda you have a few action items. Um mainly uh there's an approval of a staff development revenue waiver and this is something that we do with our teacher union each year which gives the flexibility that our staff development shouldn't be set on 2% of our expenditures. It really should be set on the needs that we can best allocate funds to apply staff development. And so I I really appreciate our union for understanding that and whether it is above 2% or below 2% it
041really should be on the direct purpose of what are the needs and what are the goals versus it's set on a direct percentage of expenditures. They approve this waiver as well. Yes. And they've they've this has been for many many years. I think uh the only other item you'll see uh a policy action item and then also an action item on an increase of staffing for speech language uh pathologist and so that's based on need and also filling that position. Um it's been it's been a really exciting uh spring. Uh what adds to it is the design and the construction. And I would just shout out to our staff and our students of you know with what we've experienced thus far uh people are being very constructive in their mindsets of handling some challenges or
042surprises but also really there's so much excitement of where this is going and what the end product will be. And so thankful for the board, thankful for the community that we have this opportunity to go through this construction and yet um as you heard Dustin, there will be different things that present themselves that we have to navigate. We know that and we'll keep on working through those. That being said, if you have any questions for me, happy to answer them. The um graduation rate, is that is it kind of a high for us? Yeah, that's so this one would lead our geographic area and it's definitely an improvement over the past past years. Uh as we've talked about previous year's graduation rate um takes in account multiple things. So for example, if we have a
043student that leaves West Tanka, we don't know where they are, but they haven't shown to graduate. even if they left in eighth grade, uh they're on our books and that will count on our graduation rate. If we have a student that uh is going to continue to receive special education services and our transition plus that wouldn't call be counted as graduation. So some things that you might not think that is under your graduation rate uh also include it's not someone their senior year merely that says I'm not ready to graduate. So there's a number of different factors on it. I think um a big effort has been to make sure that students engage with their work that they come to school and that uh we make sure we support their needs and so largest part
044of the gain I think is really under that communication structure. Thank you Kevin. We'll move on to financial report Kathy. All right. Um good evening board members. I have just a real short uh business services report tonight. Um starting off with enrollment. Um you can see that this chart is um filled to the brim. This is our our last month that I'll report. Um our March or um excuse me May 1st count was 2,412 students. So just a change of one over the prior month. And if you take a look at the last column from start to finish, um you know, there's really only a variance of just a handful of students. And it's kind of nice to see this year we had an uptick at the end of the year. Um after the uh
045kids leave, um there's a reconciliation that we do with the Minnesota Department of Education and all the other schools in the states. So we have appropriate start and stop dates. Um and then we will take that number um that's actual then use that for our audit. So again very pleased with this year's enrollment and um we'll start again next year with a empty chart. Okay. Um revenue and expenditures through the end of April um we have collected uh 27,752,000 of our yellow column revised budget or 66.2% uh there on the top. um expenditures through the end of April. Um we have spent 30,322 of our again the yellow adopted bud revised or excuse me revised budget or 73.6%. So if you take a look at the prior year and the second prior year, we're really
046happy with the way um the they're trending um and everything um appears to be in line and u will be a good budget. Um just again just a few notes. Uh this is uh a busy month as we're putting on the final touches of the um adopted budget for next school year. So the 2526 we need to have that approved by July 1st. So we'll be bringing that to the June board meeting. Um at the same time we're gearing up for next year. We're giving insurance quotes. Um we also are working on um a copier lease that's up and um all of this will be um highlighted at our June 5th um morning meeting with our finance committee. That's all I have for tonight.
