We are um excited that we have some recognitions this month. Um pull one of them out here. But I'd like to start this evening with the first one. Um good evening. Tonight I'd like to celebrate the dedication and passion that flows through our halls from our elementary teachers.
003This educator is not only energetic and hardworking, but also goes far beyond her call of duty and general contract. She devotes countless hours to planning and preparation, engaging in additional meetings, and participating in professional development sessions, all while being a great mother, wife, and friend. She is always aiming to enhance not only student skills and knowledge, but her own. Her commitment to student success is steadfast as she implements intervention strategies and maintains open communication with her families. She is data driven using insights to tailor her teaching method to meet the unique needs of each student. She is a true team player, collaborating and supporting her team to foster a positive and effective work environment. Her big-hearted nature is evident in everything she does as she continually seeks opportunities to help those around her and boost
004school morale. Miss Michelle Stall's passion for doing what is best for kids is unwavering and her hard work shines through every day. Not all heroes wear capes. Unless it is a spirit day and then you can guarantee she's in. Let us take this moment to applaud Mrs. Stall's tireless efforts and her remarkable desire to make a difference in the lives of everyone around her. >> My head. >> Thank you so much. I appreciate you. >> And I'll gave you a copy of that as well. Okay. You're welcome. M you're not gonna get away that easy. Get a photo with >> Oh, yeah. I could have done that. Sorry. >> Think we got it now. Thanks for appreciate it. >> Go ahead if you like. >> I think it all right. be. All right. I probably
005shouldn't say it out loud. I said up here, but that's all right, right? I'll tell you what I said. I said, "All right, we're moving on to Big Daddy Steve." All right. All right, coach. Here we go. Today, we recognize a coach whose legacy is quite literally built into the history of athletics at Crawford County R2. And that is very true. Uh, as you could tell, we have the shooty softball field is more than a name. It is a tribute to an individual who has had years of dedication and that is true. Lots of dedication, leadership, and love for the game and for the students. One of the most meaningful chapters of Steve Shudy's career came when he had the honor of coaching not only one of his daughters, but also his granddaughter, Hannah. In
0062017, Hannah's junior year, the Lady Wildcats captured a district championship, making the season especially memorable, meaningful, and personal for Steve and his family. Beyond our local community, Steve's impact reached the state level as well. Served for 10 years on the Misha State softball committee, demonstrating his commitment to growth, integrity, and future of sports across Missouri. Steve will be the first to tell you that he doesn't know his career record, only that he finished well over 500. Who could brag about that? But records were never the point. And that is true. >> What mattered most to Steve was his athletes. They were the girls that may not have always realized at the time that every practice, every e every every expectation and every tough conversation came from a place of of care and belief in who
007they would become. Coach Hugi taught others that coaching is about far more than balls and strikes or wins and losses. It's about relationships, knowing what your athletes are involved in, supporting them, and letting them know that they matter. He also taught the value of hard work behind the scenes, maintaining a field and creating a place the girls were proud to call home. A Hall of Fame coach leaves behind more than championships. They leave behind people, programs, and places that are better because they were there. Steve Shudy has done exactly that. It is with great pride and deep appreciation that we honor Steve Shy for his induction into the Missouri Fast Pitch Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Coach Judy, on this lifetime achievement. This accomplish accomplishment is truly welld deserved and we could not be
008more prouder of you. And thank you. And once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat, BROTHER, get over here, too. Get over there on the side. Yep. >> You want to come up here, too? Come on up. One over here, but we'll get that. >> Check out my article on Mr. Shy last week's favorite. >> Yeah, that thing. Yeah. >> Besides that one. >> All right. Get one more. >> Sorry, but >> you're good. I go back to the fast. Hey, thank you very much for so I will add at the uh Hall of Fame induction, Coach Shudy is the longest standing at 35 years and they were trying to talk him into going 36 years just to continue uh the probably un >> 45 years. >> 45. >> Yeah. And going on 40. They wanted me
009to go to 50. >> And I bet you can know what his answer was. >> I do appreciate it. the honor and uh Dr. Davidson and his wife are coming and there was other people there and Robin talked for me. So >> and for the many many school boards that kept hiring me EVERY YEAR. >> YOU touched a lot of lives, coach. Touched a lot of lives. >> Thank you for all you did. >> Amazing. Next up, citizen participation. >> This meeting is a business meeting of the board of education held in public. 30 minutes will be allotted to residents of the school district and staff to give the board the opportunity to listen to citizens. Remarks will be limited to three minutes and to one appearance, thus allowing perim number of participants in the
010allotted time in which citizens are to speak to issues. The board will not respond to comments at this time, but you will receive a response to any questions from the district superintendent and or a member of the board within a reasonable amount of time after this meeting. Additionally, members of our community may contact individual board members to engage in dialogue about school matters. During this public comment period, we ask that speakers refrain from using profanity and speakers who violate this rule may be asked to leave. We have one signed up tonight for citizen participation and it's Amber Holland. You can either stand where you are coming up to the table. >> Thank you. Tiger starts as soon as you start. >> Sorry. Thank you. Good evening, school board members. Following the December 18th board meeting,
011I'm here to formally request that the board conduct a formal investigation and update district safety protocol regarding the unauthorized off-campus transportation of my child and other parents' children. Despite my prior outreach to the principal and superintendent, I have yet to receive a compliant response regarding the incident involving my child. School officials confirmed that no signed transportation consent form was on file when my child was transported without parental consent on two occasions to retrieve overdue library books and medication from my residence. This incident violates several established regulations. The desi policy through memorandum requires written parental consent for transporting children. The school handbook policy attendance students leaving school for any reasons must sign out in the office by the parents. Signing in and out. A student leaving school during the day must have their parent guardian sign
012them out in the main office. Medical protocols. While strict consent is required for administering medication, the same standard was not applied to my child when taken off campus to receive medication. District policy R1450 requires the student records to be open for inspection. My request for documentation regarding the transportation of my child without my consent have been ignored. Perhaps the documents don't exist, but it should. Under the Missouri Parent Bill of Rights and Federal Rehabilitation Act, my child's IEP does not authorize off-campus transportation without my consent. Such unauthorized act acts are uh particularly determined to detrimental to a student with a disability because they face lack of choice, communication, uh difficulties, fear of being blamed or not believed, and limited understanding of what abuse constitutes. I have consulted with the legal council to understand my legal
013rights. What I am requesting is well within those legal rights and is necessary to ensure student safety, parental involvement and transparency of student records given the existing news media and public interest in the public matter. I request a prompt uh resolution regarding how the district intends to rectify these policy failures. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, moving on to consent agenda items. There's four items listed under consent agenda ranging from minutes to the needs assessment. Anyone would like to pull one out, we can. Otherwise, we do need a motion to approve. >> I'll make that motion. >> Second. Motion by Tammy Palmer, seconded by Adam Carell to approve the consent agenda as presented. All those in favor? >> Yes. >> Opposed? Six yes, one absent. >> Next up, we have financial statement and action on January
014bills. Uh there are two different check runs as well as financial statements in your packet. If you've got a question about a particular item, please ask. Otherwise, we need to pay the bills. >> Second. >> Motion by Sher Shudy, seconded by Roger Bridgemond to approve the financial statement and action on the January bills as presented. All those in favor? >> Yes. >> Opposed? >> Yes. >> Six yes. One absent. Next up, we have administrative reports. Um, we're going to start with board and committee reports. Anybody have anything? >> I just got a couple things uh from MSBA. Uh free seminars. I I don't know if you all received information yet on that uh on the COPA which uh uh basically has taken over the the uh National School Board Association in some areas. I think
015they're up to about 20 states now that are participating in that. And then um MSBA board of directors meeting is next Friday and Saturday and I unfortunately not going to be able to go but I should get some information back on that. And then um there's a workshop MSBA workshop in St. Louis coming up in February. Um I do have something for board and committee reports. Um I know that we will be reorganizing the board in April. Um, but there is one item that I would like to we we need an additional member for our evaluation committee. And the reason I'm asking for that now is because we will be talking about evaluations tonight. And there's been some discussion on um not quite tweaking that process, but maybe like tweaking it in the form of
016like having a Google fillable form and and things like that. And so, um, one of our members is no longer on the board, and I would like to have somebody come on to that committee so we can meet, um, by next month and have that evaluation process looked at, um, fresh, you know, for Dr. Davidson's evaluation in particular. >> Are you are you looking at for it to go just through the end of to April or are you looking at to go farther? if you'd like to join it until April, you can do that. Otherwise, we can find, you know, have somebody else. So, currently it's Lisa Lrod, myself, and Tammy. Um, so we would need to replace Lisa and then I mean, we can look at the rest of the committees or we can
017wait until I they're not as pressing as this one particular committee. >> I also need another board member on my CIP >> on CIP. >> Is that pressing or can wait till >> that can wait. There's actually quite a few um well not quite a few but three I believe um that Lisa was on that we need to replace. >> So yeah, >> and then is everybody else good with re-evaluating in April on the rest of these? >> Okay. And then I have a good news thing. Um I mean I had my hand in this not necessarily as a board member but had my hand in something that's coming to our school. So this is kind of like the soft launch. Um so this shirt is going to be provided to every student in our
018district. Every single kid is getting a shirt. Um, this project was sponsored by every bank in Cuba as well as two other private donors. And so, um, kind of, you know, to go along with let's get like Wildcat Pride back in our school, how cool will it be like on maybe a black and gold Friday for everybody to wear the same shirt. Um, the the front says once Wildcat, always the Wildcat. The back says we back the Wildcats. And then who promoted this? Um, so it's a really really cool thing. I think our newspaper's gonna do maybe a little write up on that. >> Sure. Absolutely. You want to do a little hold it up or >> we'll Yeah. >> Okay. >> Modeling is later. >> So, that is all I have. >> That's awesome.
019>> It is. It's It's a It's a big thing. >> It is. >> We're talking like 1,200 shirts. That's a that's a good >> especially in a small community. >> Yes. >> Let's move into building principal reports and start in the elementary. >> Okay. Um outside of my board reports, a couple things that I didn't touch on in there was um we did um finish all of our second quarter testing and Mrs. Brown who is also um not only our assistant principal, she wears multiple hats. She is our instructional coach and so she has scheduled for the first week of February. So between now and the next board meeting, we will do our data digs where we sit down and meet with meet with each grade level and look through um how our students did.
020I know just at glance from what we've looked through and celebrating seeing celebrations take place in the classroom. Um I know we've had students go up and they're moving in the right um direction with going from below basic to basic or proficient. So that's always a great celebration. Um Mrs. Leslie Kaufman and Mrs. Joe Kleiner, they are our title um ELLL teacher and parah duo and the last two weeks they wrap up tomorrow. They've been doing the is it WEDA? Am I saying it correctly? the WEDA testing which I know very little about but it is required for um all of our ELLL students and I know it's a very timely process and given the language barrier there with many of those students uh we try very hard to protect that time um we won't
021like we treat it like it's math testing we we don't do any all call announcements we respect their time try to keep it quiet in that hallway um they've both worked really hard with the classroom teachers so that teachers knew exactly when those kids would be pulled. She had a great spreadsheet with her schedule on there. So, um that wraps up tomorrow. And again, while I don't fully understand, um what is all on that testing, I know that it is required by law to do that and they are very organized and make sure that it is done in a professional and productive manner. Um and then last two things, we had messy play night, our first annual with parents' teachers this last Tuesday night. Uh Tiffany planned this event for the first time. Um, we
022had about probably 15 families show up. It was for any parents' teachers, prek or co-op student. Um, and we had everything from shredded paper and a kitty pool to a water table to shaving creams up to our elbows to painting kids feet and they ran across paper in the cafeteria and then they ran back on bubble wrap to get that input. Um, it was a really cool event and again we were kind of grateful that we had about the turnout we did because messy play gets really crazy really fast when you're dealing with all kids under four. Um, and then last but not least, just to end on a funny. Um, obviously we all know that we've had some pretty fridge attempts and it's hard to um, be cooped up inside and you can't go
023to recess and so we've just had some funnies lately. We had a parent reach out about bringing a goat to school to do like show and tell and of course I approved because I'm crazy. Um we had a parah ask to bring in a bunny uh or not a bunny I'm sorry a chicken for um like a showand tell type experience and we had an outside source come in to observe some of our students and the chicken laid an egg in the floor right there in front of all of us and I was like cool. um who's had a teacher, >> right? I thought they needed a nest. They don't care. They just drop it right there in front of everyone. Zero pride. Um anything from the reptiles we have as class pets. We have
024a classroom with bunnies. Um we do have a very pet friendly b building, but our kids respond to it really well. I may not love all of them and may not visit them all, but the kids do enjoy it. And I saw today a little boy last thing was he pulls a Ziploc bag out at lunch and he was like, "I don't like raw broccoli, but Mrs. Reef says that her lizard does." And he was shoving his broccoli in a Ziploc bag so he could go feed the lizard. And I'm like, "You have fun with that, buddy." So, yes, lots of good things going on as always. >> Thank you. You're welcome. Thanks. Middle school. >> Well, middle school's gotten settled in until all this hype about the snow, so they've gotten a little excited
025this week. And um but classes are going well. We had 44 students with perfect attendance first semester and I think that's probably our highest since pre-COVID. Um we're taking um fifth and sixth grade to Frisco's on Thursday and then something will go on Friday next week um to get pizza wings and uh soft drinks. Um Jimmy really treats us well with that. And then tomorrow we're holding our career fair for seventh and eighth graders. Uh, I think we've got around 18 to 20 vendors coming in uh for kids to meet with. And then me and Miss Williamson and a couple other individuals are going to do some resume writing and interview skill building things like that with them while they're not in the career fair. So, I'm glad the weather is at least holding off
026until we get that done because that's a lot of organization and preparation um by Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Lewis. So, um, so we've got that coming up and then just kind of seeing, uh, what happens with the weather. So, we do have volleyball practices started, um, yesterday, too. So, we're getting ready for volleyball. Our first game's uh, February 26th. So, >> awesome. >> Thank you. >> High school. >> I want to recognize our um, student advisory board. We had our first week when we come back first week of January. They did their first uh where they recognized some issues in the building and so they had all week plan for advisory when we came back and it went really well. They did a really amazing job with it. Uh the students were a little shy
027at first at some of the things they had to do but as the week grew they came along. Um and the teachers I asked for their feedback and they thought they did a phenomenal job and absolutely loved it because they got to see kids that they normally don't get to see. Um, and so it was all about kids getting to meet each other that normally don't know each other and hang out. So it was good. Um, and then today we had uh one from Mo options that passed her test graduating. So we've graduated five in total, which is the five we had started the year. So >> that's awesome. >> So that's that's a good positive thing. >> That is a positive thing. Thank you. >> Hi. Uh, we can skip the special education report
028and move into the student report. How are you? >> I'm good. How are you? >> Great. Happy to be here. >> Well, honestly, I would like to touch on what Mr. Klutz was saying about the advisory board. I think that's definitely going to be a really big thing for the high school. And I think the more it goes on, the more students are going to feel closer and the community is going to be a little more friendly maybe and there will be less clicks. But yeah, that week it was the first real thing we did. So there's a lot to workshop, but I think it's a really big step in the right direction. So >> that's great. Thank you. >> Perfect. Thank you for that. and assistant superintendent report. >> Yeah. So, um I just
029wanted to to um add kind of onto the high school report. Um we had our pink games on Saturday. Um and that was really neat to see the community turnout. Um it was like a courtwarming level crowd. That gym was packed. Um, and I know that the sil through the silent auction and things like that, um, over $4,000 was raised for the, um, champion of the court. Um, so it was just really neat to see the community come together like that and and the school spirit. The games didn't end the way I think we wanted them to, but uh, it was still a good night. >> Agreed. Yes, I agree. And it just goes back again that we live in a very um, giving community. Absolutely. We are very very blessed by that. >> Hey,
030superintendent report. >> All right. Nothing else to add in the report that's there other than I do want to address the governor gave his state of the state address and I don't know how many watch that uh but there's some telling signs in there for public ed that just need to keep the board aware of as well as the the community and public. Um, last year $50 million was uh earmarked for Missouri opportunities, which are other uh educational opportunities aside from public ed. This year he's adding $10 more million to that, making $60 million of public money available to uh other educational opportunities. uh he has a um executed an executive order for all school districts to receive a one grade uh AF traditional grade in the state of Missouri. And so that will take
031effect. I'll get more information tomorrow. Um but he's trying to make it very simple to just let people know what grade your school is. Uh just looking at some preliminary qualifications, 5% of schools will receive an A, 13% a B, 26% a C, 26% a D, and 30% an F. So if you look at that, 82% of schools would be in the C through F range. So um just be aware that is coming. Uh we're not sure exactly how that scoring is, but there's some who have that information. Um, I think I have access to some of that tomorrow, but I still don't know what that is or where we would fall as a district. But just be aware that is an executive order from the governor. Um, the other uh uh the state of
032Missouri cannot they have to have a balanced budget. So they cannot deficit spend. The federal government can deficit spend and print money. The state cannot. So we have to have a balanced budget. uh the money that was uh given to the state from the feds for COVID is gone. So now the goal is to get Missouri back to precoid balance budget numbers. Uh so with that uh the new proposed budget, there's uh $190.6 million not added to public ed for next year. So that's been removed. Uh what that looks like for us, these are rough numbers. Um but the uh student adequacy target is what the multiplier uh per student. So our average daily attendance gets multiplied by this number. That should have been $7,145. But with that removed, that reduces it down to $6,898.
033So in a ballpark, depending what our ADA uh comes in, we're looking at about uh $280,000 less revenues just from that one piece there. Uh the other is transportation. When they say fully funded, it's at 75% of our allowable cost. Uh and we're told that will not be fully funded. So that is just comes out of general revenues. We have to pay that. Um so those are two things for sure that are happening. And then with that there's legislative pieces adjusting property tax potentially and residential um commercial and agricultural uh taxes which personally you know I think everybody would like but professionally that's how we get our revenues for public. So unless there's a way to backfill that it's going to be a challenge. So there's more to come. Uh we are still in a
034current uh good financial place there. Um, but it's just something to keep an eye on because there's a lot of unknowns uh coming down the pipe. So, we're in a better place than most. Um, but just need to make the board aware of that. And does anybody have any questions regarding that information? I could probably talk for an hour on a lot of inner workings right now, but they're going to presume the positive, but we are in for some changes. So, all right. So, and I'll throw out the pink out stuff. The games and everything. Community sport is amazing to see. So, I want to end on a positive note. >> Yeah. Just make sure you keep an eye on your kids before they start putting their names on the list. Silent. >> Thank you
035for your contribution. >> Those silent options are great. All right, let's move into unfinished business with a 2526 budget update. >> So, with that, uh, like I said, we are in a good, uh, financial place at this time. I move my There it is. So we have uh currently current expenditures year to date we're at the uh 39.97 I'm sorry I got those switched. Our revenues year to date are 39 uh% and our expenditures are at 73% which is on track and and in line with where we were last year at this time. So in a good place there. So nothing concerning this year. Okay, we can move on since we don't need to approve that to the NCE policies and regulations. Um, last month you had a list of more policies and regulations to
036read through and approve. Um, so just in housekeeping, we need to have a motion and approve those. >> I'll make that motion >> unless you want to pull one out. >> I'll second. Motion by Tammy Palmer, seconded by Sher Shudy, to approve and adopt the policies 5270, 5520, 5610, 6215, 7115, regulations 2240, 4221, and 4411 as presented. All those in favor? >> Yes. >> Opposed? >> Yes. >> Six yes, one absent. Okay, let's move into new business and talk about our calendar. Um, our calendar committee did meet once, I believe. Um, whenever you have a 4-day calendar and uh other stipulations set by legislature, you're a little bit um you're a little bit stuck into what you can do with your calendar. So, in your packet, there is a proposed calendar. Is there anything you
037want to highlight? I mean, >> uh, we we kept with our traditional calendar. We've had the last few years getting, um, our start date is August 25th, but that's due to Labor Day being on September 7th, and that's legislation. We can't start more than 14 days prior to that. Um, there are a handful of schools making an appeal. Um, however, I don't know that that will be granted. um because if they do then the rest of the state will follow and that law was written specifically for this scenario. So um but I have let the committee know if they do change that we could revisit it if it's within a timely manner because we do have parents that like stuff in advance. Uh but again this calendar has the five built-in uh snow days with
038uh three other days built in on Mondays if we need to make sure we meet the inclement weather criteria. We have our traditional breaks with Thanksgiving, um, Christmas, spring break. >> Yeah. >> Any questions about the calendar? >> Can I have a motion, please, to approve it? >> I'll make a motion. >> I'll second it. Motion by Adam Carell, seconded by Roger Bridgeman, that the 2026 2027 proposed calendar be approved as presented. >> All those in favor? >> Yes. >> Opposed, six yes, one absent. And now let's talk about more policy and regulation updates. Um, >> again, there's another list of policies and regulations in your packet. Please take this month and look over them. I feel like a broken record saying the same spiel every month. >> Four months in a row. Um I
039don't know if I can say that after these policies that they'll be all up to date, but probably not. Uh so anyway, we don't need a motion on that. Just take your take it the next month and read through those. Any questions, reach out. Let's move into 11C curriculum adoption and let's talk about So I know we have Tanya here. >> Yeah. >> Um come on up. >> I'm Tanya Hbert the high school counselor and the district head counselor. This is Linda Koslowski from Pre Prevention Consultants. She is one of their specialists and she does presentations for them. So, we're seeking approval of a new presentation um issued in your packet called um protecting your peace. It would um replace our previously approved program that was Monique Burr's um teen safety matters. And so, it
040would touch on subjects like bullying, healthy relationships, but also it would fulfill the statute requirement pertaining to the prevention of sexual abuse. And so we're just asking that you per that you would approve that so we can move forward with being able to present that to our 6th through 12th graders um to fulfill that statute. >> And just added any time parents have the opportunity to opt out. >> Yeah. And that opt out form I think was also provided. >> The opt form is in your package. We can read through that. >> Does anyone have questions for Tanya while she's here? >> You're Did you say you're going you guys are going back to sixth grade? Is that what you're doing? >> Yes. Yeah. 6 through 12. >> Yeah. That's the >> That's how we
041Yeah. That's what we do in Raleigh with prevention, >> right? That's the uh requirement is 6 through 12. You can go younger than that, but the district as a whole had opted to um maintain a 6 through 12. >> Yeah, I think. >> Yeah. In Raleigh, I I was serving um fourth through 12th grade with safety matters. >> Um we haven't hit those the lower grades yet with this curriculum. Um, we put a little bit more in to what we do with the sixth through 12th graders with the protecting your piece. That was just kind of our spin off of the nets smarts. Um, because what we our grant pays us to do is basically just go over internet safety, but we also want to help fulfill those needs for the schools to address the
042other topics and of course, you know, get that information out there to the students as well. >> And they do it's Yeah, it's it's good good stuff. >> Consult such a good job. >> They do a great job as well. >> Yeah. and they cater it to whatever age group they're doing and using. So, >> right, it's very age appropriate. >> It is very much so. So, >> I'll make a motion. We need a motion to >> We do need a motion. >> I'll make that motion. >> I'll second. >> Motion by Roger Bridgemond, seconded by Tammy Palmer to adopt the curriculum as presented. All those in favor? >> Yes. >> Opposed? Six yes, one absent. Thank you guys. Let's move into the Department of Health and Senior Services Program Services contract. >> So, I'd
043like to thank Dr. Sbert for her work on getting this together for us uh to get snacks for students after school for programs. So, Dr. Se. >> Yeah. So, um even though the it says that it's for um after school, this is actually available to all of our students. So, um, as long as we serve it within the, um, last 45 minutes of our school day. So, um, this snack is, um, we've already actually been able to start it and it's available, um, all the way from preschool through the the high school. Um, and so they they get it in the afternoons. Um, can't take it on the buses. And no crains, but it's going well. >> No crains. >> Like to fly. >> Yes. So, we just this is just kind of one of
044the um additional pieces of paperwork.
