001before we get started I just want to let everybody know that the meeting is being recorded there is also a sign up sheet over here for citizen participation if anybody wants to sign up for citizen participation and now let's call our meetings to order Chris yes Roger yes Lisa yes Caitlyn yes Tammy yes Sherry yes Jennifer yes all seven are present and next we need an approval and Adoption of the agenda I'll make that motion motion by Tammy Palmer seconded by Lisa Elrod to approve and adopt the agenda as presented all those in favor yes opposed seven yes next up we have board norms and for the month of February we're going to review number one and number two we will expect board members to make a commitment and we will work together as a

002board that values consensus rather than majority vote now let's do pledge of I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with libery and justice for all all right for board recognition um to the cold weather and the you know not great road conditions we did push that off um for our border um and our employees until March all right citizen participation we do not have anybody signed up okay all right let's move into consent agenda um there's quite a few reports and consent agenda we can pull any of those if anybody has um additional questions and if not we need a motion to approve that motion by mace seconded by Lisa Elrod to approve the consent agenda as presented

003all those in favor yes opposed seven yes next up we have the February bills there's several different check Mo there and again if anybody has a question about a particular item we can pull it and if not we need a motion so mooves second motion by Roger Bridgeman seconded by Chris Bell to approve the financial statement AC on the February bills as presented all those in favor yes opposed AB six yes one it's staining okay all right let's move into administrative reports let's start with boarding committee reports I think it's kind of quiet we don't really have any board committees meeting right now Sher do you have anything didn't you go to msba Yes uh I was in uh Columbia January 24th 25th basically going over a lot of policies uh Financial reports not much

004is going on the school safety building is kind the new school uh safety building is got on hold right now um that's about it I have a Rec meeting next week in Sullivan and then advoc advocacy day is March 11th uh the only other thing I've done I uh finished I scored help scores uh essays for the msba scholarship all I let's CL it I also actually I did want to remind everybody um if you have not done your mandatory 1H hour board training for not brand new board members um but for the rest of us just make sure that you get that done I um did mine through a zoom uh I don't know maybe 3 weeks ago or something was way different than last year's um training just because it was actually like

005like a live session um msba does have all of those on their website you can log on you can do your training and get it taken care of um but it really they really highlight you know that we are mandatory reporters um and then we this session they they just went into a lot of things that you know you learned in your new board member training but um things that you might forget especially when it comes to netism charts and things like that so it was a good training this year all right uh building principal reports we do not have any principles here tonight um but all of their reports are in the packet and let's just skip all the way down to um assistant superintendent report well I don't really have anything to add

006to my report as much as I like hanging out with Dr Davidson and the central office crew I would really like the students to be back so we're looking forward to some nicer warmer weather next week absolutely and superintendent report I'll uh add what I speak to in the unfinish business nothing else okay um let's move into unfinished business and get a 2425 budget update so our current year budget expenditure year to date is 86.7% comparison with revenues year to date which are 58.5% so if you recall last month that was over 100% on expenditures but we've got revenues in reflecting now so that brings it back down and all sets it so we're we're in a good Financial Place uh budget for this year thank you and then the 2526 budget update um it's

007pretty lengthy especially whenever we get into talking about um just government stuff so why don't you Enlighten us on that yeah so I put this in the uh uh my uh report but also just wanted to highlight some things uh we are currently working on the 25 26 year budget so I'm going to do a twofold I've got some software I've been using the last two years it's been used three years here I'll uh use that in parallel with a new software program put out by msba um that's supposed to kind of mirror that and so I want to make sure it'll be a little more work but I'll do both just to make sure everything's in track with that new software program uh but some things to think about the governor uh Governor kho

008did a State of the State address just kind of outlining uh that he supports public Ed education but also school choice um so some things to note with that4 billion dollars were um dedicated to the foundation formula uh this represents a $200 million increase but it's still $300 million less than what would be called for the base on the state state adequacy Target so the state adequacy Target is uh saying that this number is what it takes to educate a child and we get paid off that per student enrolled it moved up from last year to this year to $676 but that 300 million uh if we were to get it would move that up to $7,150 so right now that's not budgeted in uh so there are starting to be some talks about that

009uh but some good things uh we're looking at uh fully uh fully funding for transportation but that's at 75% of our allowable cost uh they are putting uh $ 33.4 million in for Baseline teacher salaries that's if you're under 40,000 but but we're at the 40,000 so we wouldn't uh qualify for that small school grants uh you're marking 30 million for small school grants and that's if you're 350 or fewer students there we don't qualify for that uh but then this is a difference putting 50 million in towards uh voucher schools and then 7 million for Capital Improvement to Charter Schools there's about 57 million going towards other other school choices in that so just kind of watching that and working with legislators and trying to help them realize some their proposed legislation I think

010personally benefit us just from a public school standpoint those are our funding revenues and so just trying to help educate them don't pull those too much too fast or if you you know try to think of other ways to to put those back well we're in a good place so we're we we'll be in a much better State than unfortunately some districts some goes through okay thank you uh next up for new for unfinished business is we need to approve prek for the 25 26 school year so last month we um had a presentation on that you've had a month to think about it um there's any additional questions let's I'll make that motion I'll second did you guys see me I was like I'm going Tammy Palmer seconded by Lisa elod to approve a

011pre program for the 2025 2026 school year all those in favor yes yes opposed 7even yes am I allowed to it's a good opportunity for all right let's Mo Myra thank you for all your work on that absolutely I think you very excited um kindergarten teachers I will email them after the meeting all right let's move into new business uh next up we have to approve a donation as well as transportation to Project Graduation so um I know as long as I've been on the board and probably way before that uh we've always provided transportation to and from project grad um we also give them a $1,000 donation um I don't know that they have fully sett on a location yet I'm hearing talks of um State Tech in L Missouri and I would say

012not it kind the center I think it'll be at line that's amazing yeah just there so we do need a motion if we would like to provide trans motion by Roger Bridgeman seconded by Caitlyn mace to approve the district providing transportation to Project Graduation and in doing so become co-sponsors for this activity and donate $1,000 for this event all those in favor yes opposed seven yes and then we need to authorize some bus bids um we usually are very good at keeping our Fleet up and in good working order as well as visually appealing as well um I would say that's one thing that our district should pride ourselves on is that our our bus look good and they get our kids safely here and there so it looks like we are wanting to seek

013some bids for two buses this year um so we just need a motion to approve that second motion by Caitlyn ma seconded by Chris Bell to authorize the assistant superintendent to advertise and seek bids for consideration of two new buses that will be included in the 2025 26 budget all those in favor yes yes opposed seven yes and then next up we have a 2324 um achievement data presentation yeah so um this is uh this presentation is in your board packet um so just a quick snapshot uh just a reminder so our APR is always a year behind so this is 2023 2024 data um so last year our enrollment um was just over 1,200 our Pat program um served about 24 students um You probably saw in Miss Lauren's um update that uh were

014about the same this year um expenditures per per pupil about $1,638 rate is 1.6% um our graduation rate is 97.2% and that is well above the state average um our average ACT composite score is 18.7 um Mobility rate that's your students in and out of the district 17.6 um our attendance rate is 83.7 and while that's below the um recommended 90% it's also much higher than the state average um and then discipline rate um this discipline rate that the uh State tracks is the number of incidences of 10 days of OSS or more um so that number just reflects uh the number of times we've had 10 days of OSS or more um and then the free and reduced lunch percentage from last year was 47.2% um this year we're currently at 49% free and

015reduced lunch um I did link uh up here in the title there's a link to the um desie page that kind of has all of that information on there um so the APR reports we put the full reports in your December um board packet they were in the consent agenda um but I just wanted wanted to briefly touch on those um so we had our uh our performance report as a district was 71.2% um so we are fully accredited um you can see the breakdown of the performance versus The Continuous Improvement last year we spent a lot of time talking about academic achievement versus academic growth um and how the state measures that academic growth uh this year again that's an area where we lost points was in the growth the academic achievement we scored

016um the majority of our points but it was the growth areas where we lost points um so as a district English and math achievement were High um we got points for graduation rate being High um our graduate followup that's work that Miss hbert and Suzanne bous do um reaching out to our graduates um to see where they're at um all of the work that the CIP committee did um and the CIP plan and all the documents that are associated with that that um we got all of our points there kindergarten entry assessment having an approved um kindergarten entry assessment and having all of those kindergartners take that um iaps are individual career and academic plans that's done in the e8th grade and then that follows students through high school um so we were able to

017get our points there as well and then um for things like our uh CTE courses um sending our students you know to the different various RTI RTC those kind of things and then we got all of our points for our audit and then timely submission of our data um so our growth areas that were identified in the AP was that academic growth and that was in all areas um that are tested so math English science and social studies um and then science and social studies academic achievement the only social studies area that is tested is government so that's government at the high school when I say social studies um so they did this year for the first time release a um three-year composite score for APR because we had 2022 2023 and 2024 data um

018so you can see our three-year score is a 74.6% um one thing that was very interesting with this year's APR is we improved in every single area so every building APR went up and our district APR went down slightly so tell me how that math works but you know that's uh that's the desie model that how they do it so um Elementary APR uh was significantly higher than last year was at 81.8% um two growth areas there that uh Ela um academic growth so not academic achievement the achievement part was good it was that growth piece um that we lost points on and then attendance was an area we lost points in the elementary as well um academic achievement and then the kindergarten entry assessment the were strengths in the elementary APR for Middle School

019it was up slightly um 65.7% uh Ela and math academic growth um are growth areas again again that was an area Ela and math academic achievement is really good um and they've shown significant improvements especially in math um over the last several years um but that growth area is um where we lost points the IAP attendance um and as I said academic achievement those were all strs in the Middle School um the high school was at 54.1 um several growth areas there uh attendance being a big one at the high school um your College and Career Readiness assessments so that's your asbab um prea and act tests um Advanced Credit offerings um we did lose a couple of Advanced Credit um offering classes this school year that we will be able to um regain next

020year we have a teacher who's um getting certified in those areas um academic growth in all areas and then academic achievement in math and and science um some positives out of the high school the graduation rate um that gradu graduate followup we got all our points there and then Ela academic achievement um that was an area that we had seen some decreases in the last few years um but we did have an increase in ela academic achievement and that's your English to students so this is an area compared of the um aprs in the area um obviously the state doesn't have a an APR so that's why that um spot is blank there but um you we got the uh Crawford County schools and then several of the Four River schools on there as well

021um there were some schools in the area that showed Improvement um but there were also several that had uh decreases as well so that was just kind of to show you where we are at in comparison with those other districts so the next part that we're going to talk about is the MPI and that's the map Performance index um so this is an area MPI is based on all of your students it is not based on just your proficient in advanced so we know on the the um State Testing student can be ranked as um Advanced proficient basic or below basic so MPI encompasses all of your students and all demographics and so um on this you want to be in the on track or the target um typically the rule of thumb is the

022closer you are to 400 the better um that you're doing when we are in that on track category or the target category we don't lose points it's when you're in the other um two categories that you lose points so this is a threeyear comparison districtwide um for ELA and math um you can see over the last three years um there are several areas where we've increased um there are a few areas we've had some decreases and then there are several where we've kind of just stayed neutral um third grade ELA up there at the top they've stayed pretty consistent um in the 403 range which is excellent as I said earlier anything closer to 400 you can get over 400 is wonderful um fourth grade ELA also um looks very good we had the 399.4

023um in 20 24 which is great um fifth grade ELA even though it went down slightly from last year it's still over 400 so that's wonderful uh sixth grade went up and then seventh grade went up as well um eighth grade it looks like there was a huge drop but you're going to see as we go through this 8th grade went down in every single tested area but so did everyone else in the state in the e8th grade so that tells us that there was something um with that test itself not just our students in particular so um I'm not concerned um in math uh also elementaries is knocking it out of the ballpark there in math you can see we're over 400 um in both third and fourth grade um while the fifth grade

024had a slight decrease um they're still that 390 so they're doing well um sixth grade math doing great increase in seventh grade math um and you'll see that eighth grade again a slight decrease um and then a big increase there in Algebra 1 um 18 point increase which um we have needed to see um those scores still aren't where we want them to be but it's a significant increase from where we have been so um I think it's it's good to see that we are above the state average um in most of our uh Elementary Middle School tested areas we have those big gains in Algebra 1 um grade three math and grade 7 Ela and then we'll just continue to monitor grades 5 and 8 um for curricular alignment uh the next slide is

025science and social studies um we did have decreases in every category in science I'm not really concerned with fifth grade science the MPI there is still 391 that's very high it has this you know at the highest ranking there um so not a concern there um eighth grade science did have a very big drop um as I said you're going to see when we look at the area comparisons were still comparable um score-wise and then biology um that one we had a feeling was going to look like that we had um a teacher who was just a sub you know a non-certified they were not certified in biology they were not a science teacher um we actually had two different Subs in that classroom um the entire entire school year um and and so that's

026just one of those things that we we had to to deal with um as we went through and then government um you could see we had a a slight decrease from last year um but still higher than 2022 um so looking at that you know we want to continue to to monitor our uh curriculum alignment um one thing that the building principles are doing um and and Mrs Shoemaker has worked with Mrs Mei as well to help with this is reviewing standard specific data um so one thing uh I showed Mrs Mei um how to get to the report where you can print the you know what the students how they scored on each standard on each question that type of thing and that enables the building principles to work with the teachers to see

027okay where are the gaps in our curriculum why are we scoring low in this area or we're scoring really high here maybe we can back off here and focus more there um so those those are the conversations that are happening in their data meetings so um and that's part of that item analysis and then um providing content specific PD where needed that's one thing that you know when we do our menu style PD days when we do our our PD we focus on instructional strategies we focus on engagement strategies but some of your upper level teachers might need content specific professional development so are you going to the math interface conference are you going to the science conference you know those kind of things um so we're looking at that as well um so the

028next few slides are are the percentage proficient and advanced um so this is just our students who are scoring proficient and advanced um and this is a three-year comparison as well um so you can see this is uh English language arts um increases in third grade um and fourth grade uh fifth grade went down slightly but still right there at 50 um sixth grade saw big gains there um seventh grade went down slightly um eighth grade as I've said on every slide 8th grade had that drop um and then English to um had a slight drop um but they had increases um From Below basic to basic so that helps um on our overall scores and then um with math we had big gains again in third grade um fourth grade uh went down just

029slightly um fifth grade was up sixth grade was up as well um seventh grade just a couple of tents of a point and then um e8th grade down and Algebra 1 you can see a big increase there science and um social studies we were were down in each area in science as you saw with the MPI um which correlates and then uh we were down in government but up from 20122 so the next few slides are that area comparison kind of like we were looking at earlier with the um APR so you've got your um Crawford County Schools as where it well as your um Four River schools one thing that I want to point out you're going to see some areas where a school might not have a score or they will have a

030super low score so when I pull our data I pull that from a secured um database and I can see all of our scores when I pull the other school scores I can only see their public data and so what they do is if it's a very small number they suppress the data and so then you're not able to see so like let's say you only had two students out of 60 who scored Advance well that's going to just be represented with an as because people could technically identify who those two two students were so they suppressed that information um to protect identities basically so there will be some slides on here where you'll see a number that looks really low and that's going to be because the the data was suppressed um so for

031ELA um third grade El you can see there that we are the highest in the area in third grade ELA that is a huge plus um and we are well above the state average uh the black is the state by the way um I know you guys can't see the numbers on there um fourth grade ELA uh we were just slightly below the state average but if you look cross um at the area um comparison um we are well above the majority of the schools there um fifth grade ELA again above the state average there um there were only two other schools in the area that um were ahead of us in fifth grade ELA sixth grade ELA also the highest in the area um well above the uh State average and um that is

032a a huge increase there I know Mrs jul leani um and now Mrs Jones is teaching a little bit of ela this year as well um they've been working very hard um seventh grade ELA again we are above the state average um and while there are a few schools above us um we're still doing very well there and then um 8th grade ELA you can see we're slightly below the state average um but we are not the lowest in the area and that 8th grade ELA um and then this is the English 2 again um we are are in high school English to below the state average however um this number is increasing and it's higher um than what we've seen the previous couple of years um moving on to math third grade math well

033above the state average um very comparable to the other schools in the area um fourth grade math there was only one other um school that was higher than us um and that was St James so the fourth grade math has has really been knocking it out of the park for lot last several years um fifth grade math again they are above the state average and doing well um sixth grade math as well is is well above the state average uh seventh grade math slightly below the state average um but when you look at the comparisons um we're at 38.4 and you can see that there are several um school districts in the area that are lower than us um eth grade math is above the state average um and they're uh as we said not

034the the scores that we typically want to see but they're um they're holding their own they're doing just fine and then uh Algebra 1 again showing gains there all right moving on to science um you can see Herman there that's one of those areas where there weren't enough proficient in advanced um that data was supressed so it looks like they had none I'm sure they don't have no children scoring there but that's just on that data suppression um and so we are above the state average in that fifth grade um science area um slightly Below in eighth grade science um and this is an area where Mrs Shoemaker um is looking at um the curriculum and comparing it to the map blueprint and those item specifications um because this is one area where we are

035the the lowest in the area um and then biology um we had talked about earlier um we know that we were below the state average there um and we have things in place to help improve that um and then government um also below the state average in high school government um but showing improvements so this one this slide is actually not in your board packet I just added it today um because I didn't have the reports um available uh Rachel was just able to get them to me today but um we talked earlier about discipline and what our overall discipline rate was um but I wanted to show you what discipline has looked like over the last three years um because I think it highlights some positive changes um this first box is high school

036incidents um and this is incidents of ISS and OSS um so notice the scale on the side is 0 to 600 um number of incidents for the high school um so in 2122 we were um over 200 for ISS um you can see 2223 um we were almost to 500 with ISS OSS um and then we had a decrease last year now obviously this year's numbers are just up until this point um but if the current trajectory continues the way it's at they're going to be below next year um last year's numbers and so I think that that's something positive to highlight that we are seeing a decrease in discipline there um the middle school is definitely seeing that decrease as well um their scale on the side is 0 to 400 um so you

037can see from 2122 um all the way down to this year um how those number of incidents have decreased um and then Elementary discipline I love how different scale is on the side it's 0 to 50 the other one 0 to 600 0 to 400 but Elementary is 0 to 50 um and so while there was a spike in elementary um discipline last year um it has uh gone down this year and there have been no instances of OSS in elementary this entire school year um so that's definitely something to celebrate um so just overall some takeaways um from our accountability data um we know we have growth areas we know our High School academic achievement has got to improve as does our High School academic growth um and you know that that's areas where

038having certified teachers in the right positions over time is going to show Improvement there and I I think that the board has taken steps to help with the salary schedule and things like that to help us attract highly qual qualified certified teachers who will stay here and dive into the curriculum and work with the students and and get them the interventions they need to be successful um the other big growth area um is attendance particularly in the elementary and in the high school those are our two lowest areas um for attendance those middle schoolers just love to be here um some strengths to take away um from the accountability data um our district is fully accredited um our elementary MPI is above the state average in every tested Area Middle School MPI above the state

039average in all but um one tested area uh third grade ELA highest in the area um sixth grade ELA was the highest in the area um fourth grade math was the second highest in the area our Algebra 1 scores are increasing um our high school graduation rate is high and our dropout rate is low um in discipline overall is decreasing so I think those are all things to celebrate so just looking to the Future um we obviously want to maintain full accreditation um as we continue to to move forward um we want to continue outperforming State averages in our key academic areas um and continue to improve and strengthen our High School academic achievement um through that curriculum alignment that we talked about instructional support and then um data driven interventions focus on um growth

040as measures by the Missouri growth model and that's what the district leadership team has been working on um both the middle school and the high school district um members of the district leadership team they set goals working on moving students from basic to proficient in below basic to basic because you how those scores are calculated you get a certain percentage of points for showing that growth As you move students across that um and so Mo Focus more on that individual intervention and helping students get to where they um need to be and middle school has actually done a really good job this year they Incorporated um CWC classes with their special education students and those students have shown um phenomenal growth on their evaluate tests um I think Mrs schimer included that in her um

041uh Effectiveness report that was in the consent agenda um so it's it's a model that is definitely working and that we want to to um model throughout the other buildings as well um and then obviously we want to implement strategies to increase uh student attendance and uh engagement um because you know when students want to be here when they are engaged here when they're involved in things here so what are some positive things that we can do not punitive um and that's the conversations that we've been having um at the building uh admin leadership meetings and the district leadership team how can we incentive maybe not even incentivize but encourage and promote that positivity and having people want to be here versus just constantly punitive punitive punitive um and and give them a reason um

042to to want to be engaged and so those are just some of the things that that we're looking at moving forward does anybody have any questions um just one question I know we've talked about this a little bit um on Mondays we have staff PD that they're here all day long is that correct they're here from 8:00 a.m. till 2:30 okay and then in that time do they have time to actually focus and work on their own lesson plans not just not just professional development professional development thrown at them do they have time to dive in and dig into their own curriculum and take time to plan so they have in terms of lesson plans I would say no in terms of curriculum writing and curriculum um like their pacing guides yes um so typically

043the day is divided in half um so the morning is some type of PD activity whether that's districtwide or building wide and then the afternoons are their data team meetings and their PLC meetings so it's basically meetings all day long then potentially yes okay is there an option to give them more time to dive into their planning lessons because I'm thinking you know like on some of these areas that we were low in maybe those teachers just need a little bit more time to look at their curriculum and lessons not not the curriculum is overall but the lessons weekly lesson plans well I know the the elementary teachers they have common plan times so they plan together okay um so that's typically like you know the fourth grade team meets every you know Friday afternoon

044and they plan for the next week or that type of thing um same with the Middle School each grade level has their um common plan time during their grade levels and then um Mrs Pope meets with like content specific um you know so if the biology teacher needs assistance unpacking their standards then she can set up a meeting and they will go through that together on one of their her plan times gotta I just know that sometimes teachers when I we just you hear what do you what can we help you with I just need more time what can I help you with I just need more time and most of that I need more time is making lesson plans for implementing their days you know throughout the week right so um that's what I

045was getting at was maybe sometime or another maybe once a month give them an extra hour just to work on busing planes and maybe that would help balance these scores I don't know just thought yeah absolutely thank you on the attendance do we have anything that any kind of numbers of what creating attendance so that low attendance is it just unexcused is it multiple doctors you know to try to kind of look at what's creating what's creating these numbers sure um in the high school there's a couple of different things um one thing is the um number of students who are virtual because virtual attendance does not get calculated until the end of the school year um because it's basically you get all of your points for their attendance or you get none so um

046based on if they pass you know their classes um and this year I believe we have 34 virtual students um so that's a higher number than than we have had in the past um so that's part of the high school's um numbers the other part um is a there is a portion it's I mean I could pull it up the data but it's the same students um who over and over um and some of that is late to school um so you're not getting counted for the full day um and some of that is just overall attendance attendance most of those are at risk students um so they're either already working with um Mr bous or Miss HT and miss and that's kind what I was looking for it is it the same kids over

047and over are there is there specific set of reasons is it random if it's random it's something we can work on if it's the same kids over and over it's something that discipline only thing that helps okay thank you Dr did you just say that if they're tardy or late they don't we don't get credit for the speci so it's 90% of students here 90% of the time um so when they miss a section of their day that counts against our overall attendance yes so even if somebody's showing up um every single day 20 minutes late that takes a hit yes and that has start we have addressed that just starting at second semester for the high school with a different um report that it was to be working I kind of feel [Music] like
