001This evening, we are getting started on time. Uh, I show that it is 6 pm. I would like to welcome each of you to this evening's board meeting. I'd like to start by calling to order the regular monthly meeting of the Cape Gerard Board of Education. It is Monday, April 28th, and the time is 6:00 p.m. Let the record show that all board members are present except for Mr. Cook and Mr. Welker. Please rise as we pledge allegiance to the flag. 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. Board before us, we have an agenda. Do I have a motion to approve the agenda? So move. Second, Miss Wear and Mr. Ritter.

002All in favor? I I I. Any opposed? The motion to approve the agenda carries. Next, we will begin. We've got a great list of recognitions and I will turn it over to Dr. Vignyan to walk us through them. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all for being here. Uh we have lots of recognitions. We've been doing some wonderful things uh this year and we're just looking forward to celebrating them today. The first one we have is Skill USA. Uh, first up, we would like to honor our Skill USA medalists who recently competed at state. And if I could have Colton P for firefighting, Cameron Patterson for interactive application and video development, game development, Gage Dicki for video production, and Sydney Maziko for video production as well. If you could come to the front, please. and

003and Mr. Dr. Crowley as well. Can you tell us a little bit about Skills USA and kind of let us know? Sure. So, Skills US Is this on? Yep. So, Skills USA is a a a competition that our students at the Kuran Technology Center get to participate in similar to any u secondary sport or extracurricular activity where they would go compete at districts and then have a chance to go to state and then and then the difference here is we ultimately also get the the chance to go to a national competition. So, we missed one um Colton Williams, which is also another one for uh photography. So, these two students were able to make it tonight. We have a representative from the adult side who is u a Cape Central graduate. And then we have

004a representative on the secondary side, which is also a student at Cape Central. A little bit about the background here. We took 56 total students to Skills USA state competition and we had 33 medalists. So, when I say medalist, that's in the top three. 33 of our students meddled in the top three. We were at 100% in the top 10. I don't know if I shared that with you, but that's pretty impressive. Um, so we're competing against other career centers in the state of Missouri, as well as colleges in the state of Missouri. Um, and of those, we had 19 state champions, uh, which is a a new CTC record. So, we are extremely proud of of these individuals here and and so you're you're looking at a couple of state champs right here who's

005fixing to go to Atlanta, Georgia and compete at the national level. So, we have a couple of the students who couldn't make it. We had firefighting which is a um a state champion as well. He'd mentioned Colton Pool. We had a couple of second place in video production. Uh, but we had interactive application and video game development, which was Cameron Patterson. That was first place right here. And then we had Colton Williams, which is first place in photography. As you can see, he's working here tonight. By the way, [Applause] Good job again. [Applause] Dr. Crowley, when will the nationals be held? June around the week of June 20th is when we leave um for the national competition. Great. Well, thank you all again. Thank you for all the hard work that you're doing in your

006uh career tech center as well, Dr. Crowley. Next up is the Missouri 100 scholars. We're excited to share that two students from CHS have been recognized by the Missouri Scholars 100 program. These students are among the most accomplished in our state. Caitlyn Hill was named a 2025 Missouri 100 scholar while Delina Diaz received honorable mention. Uh congratulations to both of these incredible talented students. If you could come up and we could get a picture with you, that would be wonderful. You should have made your yard sign. I got a yard sign, too. Great job. [Music] We're going to get our steps in today. You are back and forth. Now, Dr. Vignette, I'm pretty sure I don't want to speak out of turn here, but I think Missouri Scholars 100 were probably one of not very

007many schools who had more than one person named to this list, either a recipient or honorable mention. That is exactly correct. And many schools don't even have one. So, this is very impressive and thank you all for your hard work and parents, congratulations as well. You have great young children. We appreciate you. Next is uh district athletic directors. Uh some of ours, two of ours got an award. I was looking to see if they're over here. They are over here. They're giving me the nodu. All right, coach. Thanks. And and now we'd like to recognize Coach Connor and Coach Gone. If you guys would come up here. Coach Connor was named the middle school athletic director of the year for Southeast Missouri. And Coach Gan was named the newcomer of the year for Southeast Missouri.

008I feel like coach Gon's been here forever, but I know he's still considered a newcomer. Uh, we know how great these two are and are excited to see them receive these recognitions and congratulations. Hopefully, you got a chance to see actually them on the big billboard on what is it? William Street. Stand. We want to take a picture with you, too. Is it on William Street? Yes. Have you seen it yet? I didn't know if you paid any attention, Coach Connor. It takes a good face to look good on a billboard. Jared and I know natural. That's right. He's a bad influence. You're not going to find two harder working athletic directors. I will tell you that. All right. Next, that was the last. Our next is our uh terrific taggers. Do you need somebody

So, we're really proud of [Applause] you. Next is our CA Oh, this is going to be fun, too. I hope that you guys can I know it's last minute to tell you this. Cape Central Middle School choir concert. Um is tomorrow at 5:30 and um it's our Roaring Tigers practice after school and are under direction of Joseph Moore who's at the Clifford. Yes. Uh elementary. He is actually doing the choir at the middle school. So, we're really excited about that. The music teacher at Clifford Elementary, the concert is tomorrow at the CMS gym starting at 5:30. Please show support show support for these students by

020attending if you can. Uh we also had shout out to Cape Central Beta for being part of the city's 40th annual Friends of the Park Day. Beta spent the day cleaning up litter, planting flowers, mulching, and helping with general beautifification efforts at the city parks. And don't forget about the foundation golf tournament that may come up in a little bit as well. Um is set for Monday, May 12th. If you're interested in playing, please contact Amy McDonald. The foundation supports our students and schools in a number of ways. So, this is just a a a fun way to give back to our school district. And that's all that I have. Well, thank you, Dr. Bingan. Uh, next we will have as part of our continuous school improvement plan, program evaluations. The first of which is

021guidance and counseling and I will turn it over to Miss Keys. Okay. Well, we are going to talk about um how amazing our counseling department is. The first piece that I want to talk about, sorry I'm pulling that up online because I was multitasking. One second. Okay. Um, it shows you that the cost of our entire counseling program budget is $1,468,229.13. That covers all of our staff, any supplies that we use in programming, um, curriculum, etc. All of my reports will always come under learn three um because that is the cases goal that I am a champion of and our purpose is to um develop and implement responsive inclusive programs and services to meet the needs of all students and in doing that we better prepare our students for state and local assessments and we

022prepare them to um meet our portrait of a graduate as well. So, if you look at uh the average number of students per building, that's wrong. It says September 22. I forgot to fix that to say September 2024. So, I will get that fixed. That's from that benchmark. So, that shows you how many um students per school our counselors are working with. We have one student per or sorry, one counselor per elementary school. We have two at middle school, two at junior high, four technically school counselors, but we'll talk about what else they have at the high school. um and then one at Central Academy. We're going to talk in a little bit about um what the ratio should be for counselors to students and kind of what we're doing to try to help with

023that. So, uh things that you will see our counselors doing, there's a whole list of professional development um opportunities provided to staff, students, and parents are, uh counselors do classroom guidance lessons. They cover the DESIE standards for social emotional learning as well as um getting them ready for potential occupations, uh exposure to um people from the community to see what they might be interested in. They do parent meetings. We have care teams which is to support our students academically or behaviorally if they might be struggling. You can read all the things on there that they do. I won't read them um word for word. And then they the most important thing they do is the individual work they do with students. So, in addition to the classroom guidance, they provide um one-on-one counseling when needed,

024they pick select small groups. So, there may be an anxiety group. There may be uh there was a group one year that was a kindergarten kindergarten group and it was called the Wiggles group because they all had the wiggles and needed a little uh some coping skills to help them manage uh their need to wiggle and be able to learn at the same time. And so, we just kind of the counselors look at what the needs are in the building. they seek guidance from the teachers and then we develop our small groups around that. Um they also serve on many committees which are listed there. But I would like to actually go into the strengths of our programming. Um two years ago we received our third school-based therapist. We have an amazing relationship with the

025community counseling center. They provide us three school-based therapists and a crisis counselor at no charge to the district. They provide one-on-one counseling services. They provide anytime we have a student that has suicidal or homicidal ideation, they come immediately and do an assessment on those students to um help them secure any further support that they may need. And they also do followup with any kid that goes through a crisis assessment for up to six sessions. Um and then the district picks up anything that we think might be necessary after that. We also have a district funded mental health support counselor that is Teresa Campbell. She is amazing. um she serves a case load of about 25 kids and that fluctuates who she works with because she'll work with kids and then they'll rotate off her case

026load because they're doing so well and she'll pick up other kids. So, we received uh her through a grant a couple years ago and saw um such a benefit that we decided to put district funds toward her position. The thing that's great about her position is that there's no red tape because we're not billing insurance for her. So, it's one signature and she can serve. Whereas any other therapist that we work with, there's a lot of paperwork for the parents to fill out because of billing. And sometimes that becomes overwhelming to our parents or transportation becomes an issue, which we do help provide transportation, but it's just difficult for them to get there. So, we're very thankful for her. Uh I talked about the small groups already. We've had grief groups, substance use groups, sensory

027coping skills, anxiety, depression, lots of different groups. Our school counselors currently are prepping for and implementing MAP and EOCC testing. So, um if you're in the schools, you'll see dark hallways, quiet signs, uh things like that as they're preparing for testing and and trying to make sure our students are as focused as they can be for that. And the next area is program data concerns. Um so this is this is kind of the big piece that I want to talk about and then we'll talk about the things that we have accomplished since our 2022 23. So MSIP um six says that you should have a one counselor to 250 they recommend one counselor to 250 students um as an appropriate ratio. So, if you look at that, I kind of just went down. I won't

028read all of them, but based on that um September benchmark, it will show you that uh a lot of our schools need a little more support than what they're getting. The way that we are handling that in most of our schools right now is through the use of our three school-based therapist as well as Teresa, um our mental health support specialist counselor. So, with those four people, they're providing supports across all of those buildings, which require which provides extra hands-on deck. Um our biggest uh concern is Jefferson. Um they are over they really need a 1.98 which is about as close to two as you can um for a counselor. That does include prek which right now um there's limited uh prek stuff. We have some other people doing social emotional learning things like that

029with our prek students. But um that is something that we're looking at uh addressing in the future. Um our middle school they have two. it looks like they need a 2.5, but middle school also has a school social social worker that's based out of there and she uh spends the majority of her time there, but she also supports three other schools. So social workers can also provide counseling services. Um so that's kind of how we again are picking up some of those uh other schools and making sure we have a high enough ratio to support our students through the use of her Terry W. Kitchen. Um looks like they need a 2.4. However, they also have that's where Carolyn Thomas, our lead district social worker, is housed and so she makes up that other point

030for um she provides small group also in individualized support as needed and she is also one of our care care to learn liaison for the district. So, she's able to support our families across the district and any needs that they have. And then Central Academy um and Franklin both have solid ratios. They're doing just great. Career and Technology Center also has a counselor that helps with secondary um education as well. And I did also want to mention that the high school looks like um they would need a 4.5. They have four counselors, but they also have um Nancy Stman who does uh works with all the seniors on post high school um planning and they do also have a social worker that provides small group um and individualized counseling there. So the high school is

031heavily supported plus they have access to school-based therapist as well. So um our goals from 22 23 I I left them on here specifically because I wanted you to see that we met them. Um we were looking for ways to support our students and staff uh with discounted counseling sessions in the community. So it's actually easier uh if you have Medicaid eligibility. There's no cost for counseling services. If you have private insurance, it's very expensive for most places to attend um insure or to attend counseling sessions. It's like $115 to $150 a session. Um thankfully, our district added that for teaching for teachers as just a $25 co-pay a couple years ago, which was a huge blessing for our staff. Um for our students though we have developed anou with uh great oak and they

032serve our students at a discounted rate and we can help um provide funding for that through our care to learn program. We have also purchased new materials. something we wanted to do to make sure we were supporting our counseling standards and we continue to add new resources annually and we are working toward the pro the progress of our MP6 standards um as well as continuing to update our manual to make sure that we're following all the guidelines that we need to do. So, our program goals for this year, we want to continue to make connections with community partners. We want access to more mental health uh providers in the community that will hopefully work with us at a discounted rate for our students benefit. Um we want to continue to work toward those MP6 standards

033for our ratios and continue to update our district counseling manual as well as our suicide prevention plan because there are some new resources that just came out from the state. So, we're going to work on updating our uh programming this summer. I strongly believe that our counseling services that we have for our district are far above average. And I say that because I visit with other districts often and I call bigger districts. I talk to districts in St. Louis and Columbia and I say, "Okay, these are all the things that we offer. What are we missing?" And they say, "Um, I don't know because we don't offer all of those things." And I think that that's just a huge um compliment to our community and how much our community wants to sew into our school

034district and into our students and our families. So, we are very blessed. Our counselors go above and beyond and I think they do a great job. Any questions? Okay. What's my What's next? Special ed or health services? Student health services. Okay. Um our budget for student health services is $639,721.81. That does not include our partially funded early childhood nurse because that is funded federally. So, uh, again, this actually gives you a list, and Franklin is not up to date. I'm not really sure why, but when I looked at their numbers, they weren't. This shows you that this school year, our nurses have seen to date 29,496 visits to their office. Um, so our nurses are very important uh with with our students. I'm working on getting Franklin's data corrected so that I can get that

035to you guys. Um, one of the things that we are blessed with in our district is that all of our school nurses are RNs. We've discussed in the past um, hiring LPNs. Uh, but because of the nature of the needs of our students and the increase in um, severity of medical needs, we we've determined that we feel like it's that's still our best case scenario. Um, all of our nurses stay up to date on current medical information. They write and implement health care plans. They assist with health screenings. They do shot clinics. Um they help with medical information for 504s and health care plans. They assist families in connecting with outside resources. Um some of our buildings provide dental programming. Several of our nurses are members of the Missouri Assoc Association of School Nurses and

036they attend conferences and all of our school buildings have access to Narcan and we have several staff members that are trained um to use that if necessary. Um we actually Josh just recently got um access to more um of those and so we can have them in in we've always had it but then outdated it so we first yes um then it shows you professional development that our nurses provide to staff students and parents. I won't go through all of that. Um I did want to show our prior concerns were that the medical needs of our students were becoming increasingly complicated. We have increased professional development for our nurses and staffs. And we have also um hired one-on-one nurses for students with significant needs. Um so that's another thing that we have done to make

037sure that we're keeping kids safe at school. Um we have a partnership with Ebo. They are now doing all of our standing orders that we need. And they also assisted us with getting uh we wanted to get EpiPens and emergency albuterol in all of our schools. and EBO assisted us in doing that. So, that was huge. Um, and I'll tell you why in just a second. Um, we do continue to have a number of students struggling with anxiety and depression and, uh, oftentimes that manifests itself in feeling nauseous, um, or laded and so kids will end up at the nurse and so the nurse triages and realizes that they really need to see a counselor. So, some of the students are coming through there to get the assistance that they need. Our prior program goals

038were to provide professional development on our current medical trends. We did that. We wanted to stock the emergency albuterol and epipens. That is a strength. Not every district was able to do that. So, we're very thankful for that. Um, we did confirm a new medical director and that was that is uh ebo that's doing that for us. And we wanted to add a part-time um in the 2324 school year. We wanted to add a part-time nurse for Central Academy and we have also done that. So, current concerns, we just continue to get increasingly uh increasingly complicated, medically um challenged students in our district. And so, just wanting to stay up to speed on that. And then there is a large number of office visits at the junior high. Several years ago, I wanted to look

039at increasing that uh position, but I think we just really need to look at why they're all going to the nurse. Um, one of the things that I'm wondering is because our district social worker travels, uh, maybe they're going to her for, um, care to learn needs, like health, hunger, hygiene things. And so we might need to figure out how to reroute route that. I don't know. I need to talk to administration about that. But that was a concern that I had. And then our current program goals, we are digitizing our medical charts, which is great. We're doing that with most of our stuff right now. Um, we're also working to have each building become a heart-safe school and that will create an emergency response team for any cardiac emergency that happens in a building.

040The junior high currently holds this status and we're trying to spread that across the district. Um, because of our access to emergency aluterol, we have significantly decreased our need to call emergency services for asthma attacks. So, that has been huge. Our families have been extremely grateful and um, that just shows how important that was. So again, I would like to say that this program is above average due to um all of our nurses being RNs. We had a split position head nurse between Ashley Bartles and Heather Ashley Bowers and Heather Bartles. They've done an excellent job. Our partnerships with again community health agencies and the community health department um are really helping us. One thing that I didn't put on here as a concern, and it's not really a concern because we have a plan,

041but um just to mention that, you know, there has been a measles outbreak. Um and we have uh had all of our schools, school nurses, um work with the health department on what would be our plan if something like that happened. We know who our students are who aren't vaccinated, who we would need to make sure that they were safe, and we do have a plan in place for all of that, too. So, our nurses were thinking way ahead on that. Any questions about our nursing program? Kudos to the nurses. They're great people. They are. They're all sweet. They really are. All right, the last one for me is the special ed department. Um this year we have 660 students that have IEPs. That includes um early childhood through 12th grade. You'll kind of see

042our trend um for the last three years on there. Again, this falls under uh learn three, which is developing and implementing responsive inclusive programs and services. This has our student MAP data. This is for students specifically with IEPs. Um so, if our students have significant needs, it makes sense that their MAP scores are going to be lower. However, it doesn't excuse the fact that we should be making sure that our students are provided with opportunities to engage with that general ed curriculum so that they are better prepared for high stakes testing. So, what you'll see on uh if you look at the English language arts under grades 3 to five, you'll see the district scores versus the state scores and then the math versus the state scores. Uh the summary is below that we are

043below the state average. However, growth did occur in ELA from 23 to 24 uh from the 23 24 to 2425. And then um in the math area, we did have some growth in that area as well, but we continue to need to u make sure that our students are accessing uh the curriculum, the grade level curriculum so that they can be better prepared. And then you'll see uh the same thing for grades six through eight. So, the district has had a decline in the last three years in ELA in grades 6 through 8. Um, math has kind of gone down and is moving back up as compared to the state level. Each year we're when you it's difficult to compare um 22, 23, and 24 because it's different kids that you're looking at in each

044of those cohorts. So, it it's I feel like sometimes not comparing apples to apples. Um, I would like to see, you know, last year's kids scores and and how much better they did this year, but that that just is difficult to portray in a graph. So, um, high school students, our ELA, uh, has taken a dip. You will see on the left side, but our math has actually risen above the state average. I think that's the first time we've had that. So, I'm really excited about that. um and want to make sure that we're continuing to do the great things that the high school is doing to make sure that the students are ready for that testing. Um under other notes, it's just basically an explanation about how the special ed department works. Every student

045has an individualized education plan or program. They meet at least once a year to review that with the parent. there's a team who makes that decision with the parent being a major piece of that uh team and giving input and us making sure that we are um using their input in the writing of that and then we do evaluations every three years on our students. So that's just a bigger explanation of that. The next chart you're going to look at is um our educational environment. So um least restrictive environment is a term that you hear in special ed a lot. Basically what that means is you want our students to be in the regular classroom as much as possible with appropriate supports is what that means. So you always want your highest percentages to be

046in that inside regular class 80% or more category. So if you look at the 23 24 percentages in comparison to the state um we still have a little bit of work to do. I will say that uh and I and I don't know where I wrote this in here, but um one of the things that is amazing about our community is that we have so many resources in our community for our kids with special needs. We have lots of behavior clinics. We have lots of speech language resources in our community and people are moving here for those resources, which is awesome, right? But that means that we're getting students with more significant needs in our district every day. And that's okay because we love them and we are going to make it work and we

047are going to support them. But that does tend to skew our data a little bit and that is my explanation to the state. Um, and they seem to be understanding of that that we do have students with very high needs in our district that some of our surrounding districts don't have because their families are moving here to get other services. But we that's not an excuse. Again, that's just a fact. We want to continue to work toward including our students more. Um, strengths. Our students with IEPs have a four-year graduation rate of 82.4%. That's higher than the state's average. So, we're really proud of that. Our dropout rates for students with disabilities have declined. Um, we make sure that data is collected at least weekly on all of our students goals and objectives so that

048when we sit down with a parent, we are speaking educably about how their student is progressing. Um, I noted that parents report they're moving here because we provide great resources, but also because we have great resources in our community. We work well with all of the outside agencies. We have agreements with them. We've got students that come back and forth between our programs. We have great relationships with them. Our state required paperwork has always received high marks. We're under a desk review right now, so they're reviewing our paperwork. I haven't heard back, so I can't report. I'm going to think that that is a good thing that I haven't heard anything yet. Um, and we just continue to uh work with our special ed teachers knowledge of the science of reading. They're working closely with

049our reading teachers to make sure that our implementation of the science of reading across the board is being done equitably. Areas for improvement. We talked about that we need to think outside the box to increase our student access to the general ed curriculum so that they will hopefully perform higher on those uh assessments, but standardized test scores are not everything, especially when you're working working with kids who need to learn how to talk and communicate um so that they can be safe. So, um, the district continues to analyze. One area that, um, I really struggle with is that our rates of African-American students identified as having an intellectual disability and/or a language impairment, they're disproportionate to the percentage in our district. And so, um, I'm working with our psych examiners and we're really trying to

050look at those guidelines one at a time and make sure that the students that we are assessing are actually meeting those guidelines and that it isn't related to some other factor. um outside of the school's control. So, uh again, I would say that we are above average in this area and I say that because I do talk to all the surrounding districts. Um I'm always wanting to learn more and this is not me tooting my horn. This is the the teachers in our district and the ideas that they have. But, um I've talked to Dr. back before about like I need to connect with people outside of our area because they are coming to us for ideas and that is awesome and I love that but we need people to help us grow and so

051um I'm always looking for ways to do that as well and we are going to visit special school district yes in St. Louis and our entire team Yep. I did meet with Columbia School District and they're the ones who said, "I'm not sure we can tell you give you any more resources. It sounds like you have a lot going." So, um, yep, we're gonna keep trying. Any questions? Thank you. Thank you, Miss Keys. Next, we will welcome one night only from the Community Teachers Association. Big round of applause.

059we have somebody standing in for Lindsay? Yes, I will. Oh, no. I know. Oh boy. Sharpen your pencils. This may go south. Lindsay texted me today. Are you sure you don't want me to go over that with you? I was like, no, I've got it. I'm okay. Um, so, uh, we're just going to start with the beginning uh, fund balance from March 1st, 2025. Uh, currently we have in our general fund, uh, $30.9 million. Um, our revenue for this month is 1.6 approximately $1.6 $6 million. Um, we did transfer uh 1.9 million over to our special revenues to pay our teachers, which is always good. And then we also had to transfer an additional uh $1.4 million as well. Um, which brings our general revenue fund to $29.2 million. Um, and then over at our

060capital projects, uh, Josh is finishing up some projects, so hopefully we'll we'll start building that fund back up. And it's 3 point uh around $3.2 million in our capital projects funds, and we're going to continue to build that so that we can do some of those uh smaller projects um with our 10-year plan. And I'm sure uh Josh will talk Mr. Cra will talk about that. Number six uh on my bullet point here is cash and investment details as you can see and our overall monthly ending cash balance is $37.6 million. And that's it. Any questions? Do we have any difficult questions for us CFO? Please don't. Seeing none. Seeing none, we will move on to the districtwide athletics report. Just kidding, Mr. Crow. We're going to go support services. Go in support services. Skip

061over. He's a pump fake. All right. Good evening. Uh quick update on facilities. Uh May 15th at Central Middle School, we will have uh some public meetings for input from our parents, community, constituents regarding our long range facility plan. Uh two meetings are scheduled for that night. one at 5:00 pm and one at 6:30. Uh, Miss Talent will be doing a uh a public release and uh getting that information out there and uh publicizing it so that we can have as much input as possible. We have two different times depending on work schedules, events that parents may have, things of that nature. our our last committee meetings uh from our internal and external committee and they've just been a wonderful group of individuals. Not everybody's been able to make every single one of them. Uh

062but uh through it all, we've had very consistent turnout internally and externally will be May 5th. As a reminder, the long range facility plan uh will be brought to you all as a board for adoption in June. And then uh currently we're making several small roofing repairs around the district. The storms this spring uh did a little bit of nut under none of it is uh insurance claims at this point, but more cosmetic type of flashing damage and things of like things of that nature. We're very very fortunate that we didn't have significant damage like other uh communities around us. Uh we do have uh security footage from our videos where on the uh 14th of uh when the tornado was coming through Delta actually zeroing in on our high school, you can actually see

063the tornado suck back up in the clouds and jump over and then it landed back on South Kings Highway and then made a diagonal down uh Independence cut across to Broadway in in sports pit vs 12 tower. Uh so we're again just very very blessed that we did not have any significant damage. Uh we also are making pothole repairs. Everybody rightfully so is concerned about uh our parking lots, but that's also a part of our longrange facility plan. The asphalt plant is finally back open from winter time. They shut down during the winter. So a lot of times people have justified concerns about potholes in our parking lots, but we can't patch them until the asphalt plan is back up and open. And so it is open and uh we've been making repairs for our

064nutrition services. We are going to continue to participate in the DesiC program. Every four years we must renew our participation. And this is the program where all students regardless uh receive free breakfast and lunch if they so choose. And we're grateful as a district to continue to provide this for our families. uh every four years uh you're up for renewal in that program and there is a commitment from the district to help offset any incurred costs. Uh originally uh when we did this if you were on the board back then uh it was around $150,000. We're down to around 80,000 is what we're looking at contributing for our part. that prior boards in our community saw that it was a valuable service and so we want to continue on with that and since there was

065a motion originally it does not need to go back to you we're just renewing it but I'm informing you all uh our transportation services next year will be the last year of our contract uh with Robinson and so next year we'll be going through the bidding process on that. I just wanted to give you all a heads up that uh that's a big contract that goes out uh every five years and uh that'll be coming down the pipeline for you all. Other than that, I have nothing else to report unless you have any questions, concerns, comments. Who knew there was a local asphalt plant? Had no idea. The things you learn in the sports services report. This is why we're paying attention. Good stuff. Thank you, Mr. Crow. Uh, next up is the districtwide athletic

066director report. Mr. Tyson Moyers, the floor is yours. Yes. Again, you're going to get Josh upset cuz nobody clapped for him. High school, junior high athletics. Uh, we're just past the midway point for our high school sports this spring. uh baseball and tracker uh will have their Simo conference events this weekend. Golf on Monday um or on Wednesday, excuse me. Tennis and golf will be heading to their postseason events very soon. Um we have the good fortune again of hosting our girls soccer district tournament here at Tiger Stadium. Junior high sports are wrapping up their seasons this week. Uh I want to quick word on on our uh two athletic directors who were honored earlier this week. I'm the MITAAA representative, so every fall is when they make those nominations. And I was very I

067mean it was they they nominate them to me. Uh so it's it's I know how hard they work, but for other people in other districts to to reach out to me and say, "Hey, we want to nominate Mike or we want to nominate Derek for these two awards." That was pretty uh pretty awesome to see. So uh really really really proud of both of those guys. They work really hard. uh elementary and middle schools. Uh regular season soccer has concluded. We do have five all-star teams that will be competing in local tournaments the month of May, which is up uh from three from last year. So, we're we're happy we're seeing that program continue to to grow. Uh track and field is close to uh wrapping up its its season. We started that season with

068112 participants, grades 1 through six. Baseball and softball practices are underway. We have 11 softball teams and nine baseball teams uh spread over grades 1 through six. Baseball has approximately 110 participants while softball sits at approximately 140 participants. Our coaches are hosting multiple camps this month in accordance with our seesipit plan. Football, volleyball, girls basketball are all holding camps. In addition, softball um coach Compass is hosting two clinics for coaches and players this week um for pitching and catching and also just just general uh help for our youth coaches. baseball and soccer held are holding or held future Tiger night practices and games which our our teams have been doing for each season. Uh bound our next part that what I wanted to talk about and they sent me a short video to show and

069it just wasn't what I felt was something that was would be interesting to you guys. It's more more geared towards athletic directors than it was a a board of education. So through our athletic department, we have multiple different platforms that we use for many of you know uh because you you you go to them for for certain parts. What we're going to go to is uh a uh a program called bound that that marries most most of those together in one spot. It's not only going to help us as a department uh specifically at the high school and junior high levels, but also in the youth sports because that's where our registration is going to be held held. So currently registration you go to register for f at in all sports at final forms. Uh

070ticketing is hometown ticketing. Facility use is typically a Google calendar through one of our athletic directors. Uh our public facing site is missio. All of those things are going to come together in in in our one site bound. And the best part about it is the cost savings. we spend and in and those um other sites we spend somewhere around 10 grand a year on on on those sites. Whereas coming to this we're going to add a facility use part that's really going to be helpful to the to the district and it's and it's only 2500. So we're going to save some money on that side by putting all of them together. And also I hear about this especially when we first put it in. But our but our online ticketing platform the fees on

071that you know it's $1 a ticket plus the 02 all this is 90 cents a ticket flat fee for for those no matter how many tickets you buy it's going to be that 90 cents. So our our parents and fans are going to save some money for this as well. So that we really like that part of it as well. So just so you know what it's going to get rolled out. We're doing onboarding now and then uh it'll get rolled out this this late May because we'll start registrations for all of our fall sports this summer. Uh so we're really happy about this. Local districts had already used it. We actually when they jumped into it I was I I was I was looking at it before but they when they did it I

072thought well this is great. So Sykes and Notre Dame both use it. I'm like and I and I called both those athletic directors say it's been a game changer for them. The public facing site's really going to be helpful too. It'll be it'll be linked in our website on capetigers.com. But the the way you're able to use it and and um get communication through it. It's really going to it's really part of uh what Dr. Ben, you wanted me to uh bring this up because of part of Kristen's CIP uh initiatives as well. So my last thing uh is we had Special Olympics at Tiger Stadium this past weekend. Yeah. So I in your So there's links there to uh Bella Patill came and took pictures. So there'sund I don't know 38 pictures I think

073she took uh of of our of our athletes. We had nine athletes uh participate this year uh in our third through sixth. We would have had more high school athletes, but special prom was this was this weekend. Uh we do look to expand our programming. We like, as I've told you before, Mandy has been uh instrumental in getting our special ed teachers across the district uh into this program and starting this program and we look to expand it to the junior high and high school next year for track and then other sports uh as we go specifically basketball and and bowling, but we'll talk about that as we go. Courtney Hanstein, Michelle Beer, Julia Williams, Kelsey Tushoff, and Trevor Morehead did a lot of the coaching of our athletes. they had to have six practices

074before they went went to the uh to the event. Uh so they took care of those practices at the middle school and also on their own sites. Again, like I said, nine of our 12 athletes were there Saturday uh that are performing. The big thing too I want to point out and Mandy, I'm sure want Manny to add to it, are our volunteers for this. That's the thing that always stresses me out is we've had this three years ago the last time we had it and um I always worry that we're going to have enough people there to help. Uh Scott Williams always says, "Hey, when we're at Notre Dame, we always have plenty of volunteers." So when I put those that emails out, I said, "Hey, we're, you know, make sure we're we're making

075sure that we're showing our Tiger pride, too." So our track team, junior high baseball team members, football team members, girls golf, boys basketball, FCA, and and our student senate ran the concessions. I mean, showed out, really had a great group of kids that came to help, and I know those kids will come back. Having having volunteered for this event before, those kids really, it means more to them than it does anybody, right? So, yeah, I would just add that we had some teacher assistants show up that didn't have to be there that were supporting their students and making sure that they were well managed so that their parents could actually enjoy the event and not have to focus on, you know, chasing around their child. Um, but we had some of our high school kids

076that actually did the 4x100 with um the last group of students who were running it and they did it together. And it was kind of funny because the first kid took off and the the peer that was running with him from high school thought he was going to be taking it easy and he did not. I mean this guy just took off Bolton and he was struggling to keep up and so it it was pretty cool to watch. But they um for kids that were nervous about participating our high school kids stepped right up and participated with them. Um, some of them have never done anything like that before, but it just seemed really natural. So, it was grateful. Yeah. And and I heard from several parents u of that said something to me about

077how much they liked having it at Tiger Stadium. We do bounce back and forth between us and Notre Dame because we run another conference meet uh o opposite of this this week. So, it's kind of it's a big it's the back and forth is a little easier when we're running two track meets. But the uh uh but I did get a lot of response. It was done by one o'clock which is great for our families because they're not you know they're they need to get I mean you know for my own family it was you know when you're sitting around for an hour and a half waiting for your events and then there once you got into your events your events were were really smooth and it was it was really good. So uh everybody

078said they enjoyed being here more than they did at the other place which made us happy. got an email about it maybe coming back to us. Yes. So, we'll see what happens there. Yep. I just want to add to something you said. It's a little bit off track, but not all the officers that were there were amazing, too. Um, but we also had from the special ed portion earlier Star Quest, which are um Candace and Aaron put on at the high school, which is a talent show where our students um with special needs partner with um a student without special needs and they do some kind of talent. And throughout the day from 9 to 2 or 9 to when the programming was going on, classes were rotating in that didn't have EOC testing to

079watch and um our our students, we just have great students at CHS, period. Um they were cheering for all of the kids. They were giving everybody standing ovations. Um there was a kid who performed and he threw out balls with like his base little baseballs with his signature on them and the kids were going nuts over trying to get the balls. Um, there were a couple kids that I heard ask about a particular student that they wanted to see and they were going to have to miss their lunch to be able to stay and see it and the teacher at the door gave them the option and they chose to skip their lunch which I think we were able to get a lunch later but um it was it was really special to see our

080kids um support their peers in that way. So, we should be very proud of our Tigers for sure. Any questions for me? Thank you very much. Thank you. Next we have board reports. MSBA delegate report. Dr. Fley, I don't have much. Um the delegate assembly, I think it is June 16th. Uh we will hear more at at that delegate assembly in June. That's kind of that's where we establish the platform um the legislative platform. So we should be getting some information out about what's on that and I will be sharing that with you as soon as I get access to that and then you guys can give me some feedback so that when I attend that meeting I can say, "Hey, what about this? We want So, that's all I have on that." Awesome. Moving

081on to the legislative report. Yes. Okay. I have a few things. Um, first, we'll talk about open enrollment. This is HB711. Um, it has passed the House. It's at the Senate now. The Senate Education Committee passed it. And so the bill is placed on the Senate's formal calendar. Likely will be debated this week. Um there were a few changes. So when a bill moves from the House to the Senate, then the Senate has like the ability to make changes to the bill. So the notable changes were that they upped the transfer limit of students that could transfer from one district to the next from 3 to 5%. uh districts would no longer be required to provide transportation and charter schools are now allowed to participate. So, um this is just my regular reminder that this

082is a great opportunity to reach out to our legislators. In this instance, it would be in particular uh Senator Burgerer. Um, also I will remind you, I've said this before, but this is a topic that he specifically said he would like to hear from people on, both board members, community members, parents. So, it's a good opportunity to reach out. Um, this is also going to be something that I've repeated in the past, but I just want to say it again. Just some talking points of why open en open enrollment is disadvantageous for our community. It diverts resources out of our community. It can shrink the number of extracurricular programs that a district is able to provide. Um, it has an inordinately negative effect on our sped students because it allows districts to deny based on

083sped status and lowers community support and involvement. Um, it is just always best to keep schools community base. That is what serves our community best. So, that is open enrollment. Um, moving on to the budget, we actually have some good news on this front. I have spoken in the past about how there was a $300 million deficit for school funding, but the Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee allocated that additional $300 million to fully fund the foundation formula, which is what we want. At the same time, they stripped the 50 million in general revenue that was intended for like the voucher program. Again, that is good news for public education. Um, so that is expected to be debated and likely finalized this week. At that point, then the House and the Senate have to like go back

084and kind of renegotiate and vote, but we should see some major movement because the deadline is May 9th. So, we don't have a lot of time before that has to um happen. Um, I also want to say this is another great opportunity to reach out to your senator or your house rep, especially your senator in this case. They do not want to hear from you only when you have bad things to say. So, if you have something positive to say to them, that's a great reason to reach out and say, "Hey, saw that the Senate gave that additional $300 million to public education. Love to see that support of our schools." So, you can say positive things to your senator, too. Um, last thing I wanted to talk about is the omnibus education bill. This

085is a bill that encompasses several things, but one thing in particular we've been keeping our eye on is the inclement weather issue that we kind of dealt with this winter with having to use AMI days. Um, currently it is just sitting with the Senate Education Committee, kind of keeping an eye on it just to see what else is added on to it since it is turning into this omnibus bill. But um once it is actually moving, I can hopefully share some more. Obviously, we want that calendar issue addressed, but we'll see what else gets added to it. Basically, um that's all I got. Thanks, Bailey. Another great report from the legislative side competing with the CTA starting to become arch rivals of sorts. I like it though. No, no, no, no, no. We're friends. Okay.

086Very good. Very good. Girls support girls. Last board report but not least, the K public school foundation. That's some exciting news. Oh, does it involve a golf tournament? It does. Monday, May 12th, um the foundation golf tournament is at the Cape Country Club. So, if you are interested, it is filling up fast. And get your team in quickly. Contact Amy McDonald at the foundation. So, it's a good time. There it is. Rain or shine. It's always a good time. Rain or shine.
