001have to make a motion to approve the agenda. Oh, I thought we did the Okay. Uh motion to approve our agenda. I will motion to approve the agenda with the amendment of adding to the following items to the new business. Okay. discussion to approve under the under to remove Tim Godfrey, Lisa Urman, Paul Danda, and Becky Mitchell from the district bank accounts and add chairperson Susan Delelique and treasurer Sarah Hill. And then also um you want the resolution filing schoolboard vacancy by appointment. Sounds good. Can I get a second? I'll second. Uh motion approved. No. Oh, any discussion? Any discussion? Any discussion? Okay. Mo uh motion approved to approve our agenda 2.0 old but old business. Uh under old business, we have middle school position restructure. We looked at this just a while ago. Uh
002if you guys remember, I took our middle school principal Okay, I thought you were looking at the screen. It took our middle school principal off the sixth grade, put her only on seventh and eighth grade. So, we have to look. It took Art Meyer off. Mr. Chairman, may I ask? Yes. So, I just want to let you know I did talk to Mr. Meyer and Mrs. Zick about this. I also reached out to Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Snider. Y Schneider talked to them. Um I don't know what's happened in the past, but I I I think we need to move forward on this on this issue. Um I think Mr. Johnson, I have not physically talked to him or personally talked to him. He's our new elementary principal, but from my understanding, he's able to
003uh include the sixth grade under his direction. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me that we have a principal going back and forth between buildings. My personal opinion, um Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Snder and the elementary staff approve of Mr. Johnson uh helping out with the sixth grade or continue with the sixth grade. Uh I've sat down, I said with Art and Lori, we've come up with some different plans. Um I I'll talk about what I've talked to them about with budgets and everything else along with everybody else in my report at the end, but there are some other things that we can give her to do in the seventh and eighth grade building. Okay. Um, so she will no longer be responsible for sixth grade. However, at some point, second semester, I foresee
004Mrs. Zick, myself, whoever coming over here, Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Zick, working closely so we can acclimate the sixth graders to come over to seventh grade because we all know sixth graders coming into seventh grade are going to be a little scared and leery and everything else. I've also talked to Mr. about doing an incentive program for middle school students. Something that I used to do when I was a middle school principal, but we can talk about that in the future. Um, some of the things that I've asked them, her and her to put together, and I met with them yesterday for maybe 3 hours, something like that yesterday. Susie, would that be safe to say? Um, and they have brought forth some information that I just had and here it is right here. So, some
005of the things that she'd be responsible for would be to help with the Raider Academy. Is that what it's called? The Raider Academy. That's the online program. We all know that if we have if we lose a student, that's anywhere from 7 to $10,000, right? If we gain a student, $7 to $10,000. I've got a lot of ideas of things that we can do to promote our district. I did a video today actually. Um I don't know if anybody saw it. I hope it went out. I sent it to John to go out. Just an introductory video. So, it should be on social media on your apps if you get a chance to do it. And I told you in my interview, I have a face for radio. So, we'll see. We'll see how that
006goes. But there are a number of things. Um, we actually um I'm not going to lie, the M Minnesota Department of Education puts a lot of things on our on our plates. You know, they're expecting us to do do items without with less funding and so forth. We have the Read Act. We currently don't have really a staff development committee in our school district. We really by state statue should have a staff development committee to so we can decide where our staff development funds are going to go to. I know the elementary probably has a better handle on staff development ideas than the high school does. But you're really supposed to have a site team in the elementary, a site team in the high school, and then a district level team. Right? So it's not
007me that's making a determination. Hey, if you're the teacher, we're going to send you this. We work together in collaboration and cooperation. We don't have that. We really don't have a true curriculum review cycle. And what I mean by a curriculum review cycle is the state comes out, and if you guys already know all this, just bear with me, please. The state comes out with ideas for standards, right? A bunch of people that think they're smart sit in a room and they say, "Okay, in 8th grade English, you're supposed to know and be able to do this, this, and this." Right? And the teachers have to get that information. So, we're going to need somebody to help out with our staff development, with our academic standards, and our curriculum. We really should get on a
008cycle where every seven years. I think elementary again has done a better job. I'm not throwing anybody under the bus. Elementary's done a better job of incorporating a curriculum review cycle, but we can't have K6 curriculum and 712 curriculum. We what's called we need what's called a scope and sequence, right? So if you have sixth grade math, you really should get the seventh grade math and so forth because you know math is sequential. Of course, you build from one year to the next. So there are things for this person to do for Mrs. uh Zik to do. And those are some of the things the Raider Academy um curriculum, our staff development. And just so you know, as a superintendent, I will be very active with the administration, helping them move along in some of
009the things that we've talked about so far this week. Does that make sense? Any questions that you might have? Would she be helping with the read Act as well? Yes. I'm sorry. The ReadAct is part of it. Now, just so you know, ironically, the Reed Act, this is why I get a little frustrated with the state of Minnesota. I know I'm on Zoom here. They put all these parameters on and say you got to do this, this, and this. and then they take it back. So, we're gonna hold off. So, the 9th through 12th grade did get postponed for one year. I don't maybe you heard that did get postponed for one year. However, if we can be forefront and get the read going before the year, I think that's positive for our school district.
010Okay. So, she will help with that. Fantastic. Okay. I hope that makes sense. if you have any specific questions. I would assume our contract with Mr. Johnson's all I mean he was talked to him he is fine with taking I have not talked to him I was told I I don't maybe you told me I don't remember but somebody has talked to him about it I just haven't had time to reach out to him this week because I'm mean he's technically not on contract y and so I will reach out I I eventually will reach out to him and ask him to set a meeting but my understanding he is ready to go for sixth grade the comment was something to the effect that he already has I think 300 more students at his current
011position. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Does that make sense? Makes sense to me. So, we're going to do this this year and then we'll look at everything throughout the year on all positions and so forth. Okay. Sounds good. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Chairwoman, excuse me. Oh, I'm good with either. Apologize. Okay. Any other questions on on that? Oh, one more one more thing. I'm sorry. She also will do MTSS coordinator. MTSS. And basically that's where um I know here it's Mrs. Snder does that. She does a fabulous job here in this district. It's basically kind of putting together in a nutshell plans of action for our students that are high risk, medium risk, and low risk. So that's something it's like putting everybody on an individualized plan, right? So, um, maybe my plan is I struggle in
012science. Okay. And we're going to take a look at that. So, she's going to do that for the 7th through 12th grade people in students in addition to the ReadAc stuff. And she's fine with doing all of it. Yes. Fantastic. I he ended up losing a little bit there. Was he okay with, if I remember, there was something being taken from him? I'm not sure what was taken from him. Um, I forget there was I think he was the uh he was in charge of the online thing, the Raider Academy. So, he won't be doing that. Okay. I'm going to work with Mr. Meyer on um um setting up some handbook um things and in the cell phone policy. We've already talked about those things going into the into the new year. So, Okay. Okay.
013Sounds great. Thank you. Any other discussion? believe I don't have to call it all three times. No, you don't have to. Yeah. Okay. 3.0 3.0 new business seats. New board member. Okay. Does he stand to give his oath of office? Yes, he does. And he has it. I, Aaron Schber, hereby accept the office of school board member of Independent School District number 28.889 for a term beginning July 9th, 2025 and expiring the first Monday in January 2027. I earn swear affirm that I will support the Constitution of the United States and of this state and that I will discharge faithfully the duties of office of school board member of Independent School District number 2889 to the best of my judgment and ability.

Mr. Chairwoman, here's the deal. The EDIM is another thing by the state where it gives me like control. She'll be the what's called the proxy. So if I have to say um we have to world's best workforce now it's called the CACR I have to give people access to certain things. Okay. Um it doesn't mean that I get extra pay for that. I don't but I have to be in the system and there has to be a resolution stating that I am the one. So I think you did it for Dr. Godfrey. Every superintendent does it every year. It's usually in January
015at the reorganization meeting. So are there any questions on that? Any questions? Okay. Thank you. Now, being this is a special meeting and so do we need to do a roll call vote on it? That's what I was thinking. I would think so. I think it doesn't heard. It is actually a resolution. So, you're okay. All those in favor of approving EDIM access for Dr. Randy Burquist say I. All those opposed, say same sign. I I think roll call. Oh, roll call. Sarah I uh Jade I Aaron I Susan I Okay. Res uh approve approval EDIM access passes.

016educational agency that uses the educational identity and access management management system system. The Iowa is responsible for authori authorizing, reviewing, and reertifying user access for the local educational agency in accordance with the state of Minnesota enterprise identity and access management standard, which states that all user access rights to Minnesota state systems must be reviewed and reertified at least annually.
