001for you guys. >> Okay, this meeting is being recorded. The recording does not constitute the official record of this meeting. All documents from this meeting are available on the school board page of the district website. to order. Stand for the pledge to the flag of the United States of America. No. Public comments. We did have an email. Yeah. >> Can I make public comment as a boy? >> Great question. >> It's a very easy public comment. >> Sure. >> I just wanted to comment. I've been in the school and I've been seeing the kids watch TV together and play games and the lunchroom is appropriately noisy and I'd be very interested in any other feedback. But I just want to congratulate this board which not myself. I'm not congratulating. But but it feels like the
002the >> phones are working. >> The phone thing. I haven't had one kid say anything about it and they look like they're having a great time. >> Good. I mean, that's what we want to see. So hopefully they're not just sneakily getting away with everything and that's why they're saying everything. It doesn't matter, right? >> We don't care. >> Yeah. >> Um >> Yeah. So there was one email in there that came in about transportation. I mean, you know, >> we were bald. We should, but it was not in the public record in case the parent wants to look at the minutes. >> I mean, we've got a $1,500 bonus structure per semester in place now. We're still pushing the bus driving jobs out to the community. We'll plate anybody who wants to get a
003CDL. >> Um, >> yeah, >> I think we're doing say I think we've done everything we can do over the last several years trying to get that going. So, >> yeah. But you know if anybody knows anybody perhaps recently sold a company and it's kind of kicking around Big Sky right now. >> Yeah. >> We give him CDL for the >> As long as I've been here this has been the conversation. >> Well, you can't get it's not recently. always >> I have a So I don't I don't know if this has any possibility but there there's all those employee buses that go back and forth to the Yellowstone club and stuff. I mean >> is there any like thing we could work out >> like some synergy among those people and us? We tried
004in the past >> they really look those guys a lot and then it becomes about hours of driving in a day. >> Yeah. Now there we go back and forth and >> huh there's some places like that have and this is more about after school but there's some there's some organization that does a thing for getting people in private cars kind of like an Uber situation for after school. Um, I mean, I don't know. >> That'd be a tough one, I think. >> But these guys, well, I mean, for these these people, >> we if we have Uber and they can get their their kid to school. >> Yeah, >> that's happened before. >> And there is No, it's a program designed for people to carry. There is this thing that women who are mothers
005know how to pick up kids and transport them and bring all the stuff that they need and they vet them out and they transport children to their after school activities and they're an Uber for kids >> that are doing after school things. >> They do that incredible. >> Yes. Yeah. >> See, and that's the same as the people that have housekeepers. >> Yeah. >> And they come and clean >> and they have cooks. >> Yeah. >> But the like I think it should be noted though too, right? Because it's this email says >> like we need to hire more bus drivers or get additional buses. Like it's just >> it's best for drivers. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Um >> I know. >> Yeah. >> I think that's it's >> great. >> All right. Uh move on
006to approve for the minutes, please. >> I move to approve the minutes. Second. >> Any discussion? Up vote. All those in favor? >> I posted pass unanimously. Move on to superintendent reports. >> Yeah. So I sent this out and there was a little bit of back and forth news. So I mean it's not a right this isn't earthshattering news right we're following um in real I'll kind of go through this whole thing and then talk about what I think will be good kind of data collection and um kind of data mining from the last at least another 10 years of where we're at. I mean, you know, September 2022, I went directly back to the report I presented to this board, September 2022, and there were 437 students. That was the first year of our
0074K program. So, that was 20 students. Um, and so right now today, we're sitting at 356. That number might look slightly different for the official count. Um, but really that's about where we're going to be. So, that that leads us right into the next kind of three items that I have on on my report. Um, Chair Jennings Cork and I met with with a couple of foundations in town. Um, and and generally in the past how we how we worked with the foundations, we've almost I wouldn't say, you know, in from 2015 to 2017, let's say, I think we were really uh more strategic in our asks like they they funded the art programming for elementary school at one time. They funded music programming at the elementary school at one time, you know. um they
008funded additional counseling positions um >> at one time for the school district and that was a two to threeyear commitment. So it it was somewhat strategic and then we started to become more reactive like okay how do we keep programming and then we just kind of kept going back and saying these are kind of the programs that you funded in the past and in rising enrollments we were always hopeful that we would the school district could absorb that and continue with the rising enrollment that's that paradigm has now shifted um as we learned in that meeting right and and their thought process has shifted too which so we walked away from the meeting leaving really kind of in in a way of so we were receiving 150,000 this year from Spanish Peaks Community Foundation for
009120 >> 120 um zero from YCCF in in this round. Now I say zero but in the last last year they gave us almost $500,000 with the housing um allowance too. However, and and Matt jump in anytime, we did walk away from that with plans to they would like and we would like to really work together and partner for long-term funding for the school district depending on our needs for essential programming and ancillary programming. >> Yeah. And they were really concerned about our numbers and where we're going and still having us as a pillar of kind of the community and wanted to focus on that too, which was great. >> Yeah. So, we feel like there's going to be some good work to be done there over the next, you know, six to eight months.
010Um, Big Sky Resort District, um, they've set aside a pretty significant amount of money for education in the community. The vast majority of that is going to be set aside for us, um, depending on the outcomes of how the processes with Senate Bill 260 were. So that we have our first meeting I think on Thursday, right? >> Um with Vice Chair Dodd and Chair Jennings with a small committee of resort tax people. >> Um and then House Bill 408, I'm getting to work on that. This year in the tax credit offered by the state of Montana in this fiscal year, we have the ability to capture $634,000. Um that's 47 more than last year. to remember those increase that increases our a lotment increases as our federal fund increases. We had a small increase. Um
011I want to try to get that across four donors. Um and just to remind everybody the the maximum donation individual or corporate is 200k and the state max this year is 6 mil. Um, so I've already made initial contact with the four donors from before um and and working through that, but I I'll keep you updated. >> So is the that money would include corporate or individual then that includes change? >> No, >> this is Barbara related to House Bill 408 which was previously House Bill 26. SP 260 >> some >> I'm just saying the maximum for an individual donation. >> So the people receive a tax credit. So if you give us $200,000 if you have a $200,000 tax bill for the state of Montana, you can give it to them or you can
012give it to us, >> right? >> Um because it's a complete dollar for-doll credit. >> Okay. >> Uh so yeah, that does that answer your question? >> Yeah, I was just >> it's not foundations anything like that. This is just >> Oh, foundation. So it's so corporate doesn't count a >> nonprofit. Boing. >> Okay. Got it. >> A taxpaying entity. >> Okay. Thank you. That does answer my question. >> And then back to the kind of top section. Um I I spoke today with with Corky and Libby and you guys saw that uh Trusty Rally was proposing, you know, to gather some um some data, more subjective data around, you know, students who have left and to just really look at kind of where enrollment was probably about 10 years and kind of see where
013we're seeing the differences now where I think is where we're really feeling it. We we do have some people who are exiting, but now we're starting to see like the result of graduating 32 students and bringing in 16 >> that, you know, our our elementary school classes are are I wouldn't say shrinking, but they're smaller than they have been historically. So, try to present, you know, some subjective and objective data around where we're at. Um, and then kind of just go from there. Um, but I I think it's worth kind of a little deeper dive. >> Yeah, definitely. >> So, given what's just happened in the town, how do we lose from spec do we know like how many have we lost since the beginning of that and specifically the new school? >> Well, to
014that Yeah, we can look at the I mean, I can look it up and and share that with everybody. I'm happy to do that in October. We know like they say here's where we're going. >> Yeah. They don't say why sometimes, but like we had a family last year, three kids from Dallas, they move back to the house. >> Yeah. I was just curious because I could I could It's less than >> It's certainly less than 10 >> and I would even guess it's less than eight. >> And what is the A and B um for a high school student? It averages 6,000 >> about 6,500 >> 7,400 >> and then a middle schooler is less and >> seventh and eighth count. No, even sixth this year, isn't it? >> High school. Yeah. >> No,
015that did not that did not that law did not >> seventh through eighth grader has the same dollar amount if you have a middle school program which we have. >> Okay. And then a prek through six >> has the elementary A and B dollar amount >> which is like >> 5,500. >> Yeah. I mean a the average the average is 6,500 across K12. >> Okay. Just curious because I didn't know how this had changed over the years. >> And there you know and it's not just we can't just take the number of students and run that calculation and go oh this is what we have. There's a lot of like we get so much money just for coming to school. >> Oh I'm aware of that. >> Yeah. Yeah, here you go. >> Part of
016it. Yeah, thanks. Great. >> That's the huge high school with for so long. That was live. >> Okay, any other questions for Dustin? Thank you for your report. We'll move on to the Middle High School, please. >> Thanks, Matt. Um, I'm sure many of you saw it. Um, LPHS was ranked first in college curriculum breath and second in the state of US News and World Reports. Um, and just want to give a shout out to our faculty and council district. >> That's fantastic. >> Amazing. >> And our continued focus on challenging and rigorous curriculum for our students. Um, so great. We have our back to school night next Thursday or this Thursday in two days. We started rolling out toddle with the middle school and high school students and hope to onboard parents in the
017next two weeks. Um it's not without kinks for sure. We have a lot of like institutional learning to do together, but we have um a new toddle buddy that's guiding us through the process and she's really dynamic and very responsive. So I think we can iron out most of the kinks within the month. >> And I was just going to give an update on cell phones. Barbara mentioned that um we've really had very few discipline issues with it so far. And um you know, everyone's been diligent about reminding students of the policy. U we don't have a lot of usage of the cell phone blockers um particularly in the high school. So um that's just it is it exists. Um but it is fun to see the kids interacting with each other and um yeah
018it's really lovely actually. >> So lunch is almost as loud as little so exciting. >> Yeah it's really >> Do they leave them in their car or >> they leave them in their car? But again, like if they're not, who cares? >> As long as they're not on them. >> Yeah. And um No, it's been really nice. Been really nice to see them engage with each other and um not be so isolated, >> right? >> Yeah. >> And then we had our successful but rainy expedition. >> And I just want to say like our teachers, community members, and students were really tough. I thought we were going to have some calls like we got tired of the rain, but everybody made it through to Friday. And so I want to give a shout out to
019everyone who contributed. So Patty, uh, Marian Schmidt, Lindsay, Tony, our board chair, Matt, um, Kate Eley, Bill Burns, Ashley Dodd, Mike Stout, Braden Hacker, Noah Gins, Karen Sher, Vanessa Wilson, Chris Wilson, Devon Dolman, and Nate Lucas. So that's a lot of people to leave the families for the week or to volunteer their time. So thank you. Um, we really couldn't support including the board and the PTO. Middle school started their advisory clubs. These are student initiated clubs. We do once a week during the last block. Um and really the focus is on um collaboration, shared interest, and student agency. So they do things that they care about and they get to choose choose what clubs are offered and then vote which ones they go into. We have music, film, sports, Lego, elementary school helpers, um
020walking, a fashion club, and a maker space club. So that will run for the trimester. >> So I can bring all my Legos to you guys. by costumes tonight. >> And then um I want to give a shout out to Miss Riley, our art teacher. She's been selected to present at the National Art Education Conference this winter. Her session is reclaiming narratives in the art room, advancing critical pedagogy through indigenous contemporary art. She'll share her research and strategies for integrating indigenous art in the classroom. So it's a big honor to do that. And then lastly, um hopefully most of you have seen we have the new newsletter in the middle and high school at the peak um to streamline our communication and showcase, you know, all the great things that are happening at the school
021in the middle and high. And Anita has been really instrumental in initiating, developing and organizing this and and we hope you enjoy leading it and we realize that maybe Barbara and Danielle are not getting it. If you're not current parents, we're going to add you. That has been so nice. You don't get like all these emails that this email >> and just another good way for the community to get it out there. >> Yeah. >> Just know what we're doing. >> When was this? >> Great. >> Thanks, Marlo. Any questions? >> Can I just add Spanish Peaks Community Foundation also contributes to >> Oh, thank you. I didn't mean to. >> Very important. >> Great. >> And what comes around goes around. remember 10 years ago they're like and there's >> no >> yeah because
022what was it called back >> there's a different Tuesday tidbits and then Friday at some point they kept moving today >> right now it's just great >> Monday >> it is nice she's doing a great job so >> sure to share that >> thanks Marl move on to the elementary school principal please >> a little more brief she set the bar kind of Great things happen in the middle of high school. Um, but we had a great launch of the school year. Um, students are happy, staff is happy, great vibe in the building. Um, we've got into the beginning of the year testing which helps us guide kind of where we go with individualized learning with the kids throughout the year and how we set up interventions for them. Um, we are in a math
023pilot this year and we've gotten great feedback from teachers and students that are really enjoying that program and how hands-on it is and um, kind of condensed and concise. Um, we have a new crew of little four-year-olds on campus. I mean, they're just little nuggets and Maggie and their team is doing such a great job integrating them into our school community. I know they had reading buddies with fifth grade maybe yesterday. Um and so there's lots of collaboration that happens throughout the year with them and those kiddos were getting the number of tears down. >> That's a win. Um, and then our other new staff, um, Miss Petro has hopped right into kindergarten and is crushing it and she had kind of a whirlwind at the beginning of the year with getting married first weekend
024of after school started. Um, but she's adjusting really well and we have a great K team um, there. And tonight is open house or back to school night or whatever you want to call it here. So, I would encourage you after this meeting if you have time to walk the halls and just say hello. the teachers would love to see your faces. Introduce yourself if you don't know who they are. Um, and I'm also going to sneak out so that I can help prepare for that. But I will put a plug in um, every year with my community meeting. I say we need guest teachers and I've gotten a couple on the list and I'll add bus drivers for that. And maybe we can never know. >> Communication. >> Yeah. >> Excellent. Well, thank you
025very much. Yeah. Good luck tonight. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, Mr. Manis activities. >> Yes, >> kind of busy lately. >> Busy lately, but um brief report. So, uh coaches had the fall sports moving right along. Um >> it all started with a great win against Manhattan Christian and a wild game in Enis. We lost by three just on the last literally last second play. Um probably the closest game we've had with Enis and since I can remember. So, they're doing a great job. Volleyball, if you weren't aware, um we elected to participate in a JV schedule this year. So, we are just playing the JV of those teams that were originally on our schedule. We're not competing in varsity this year. We had eight girls come out for volleyball in the high school, mostly
026underassmen, freshman, sophomores, and uh one eighth grader. So, it just made sense. And they've won two of their three games so far. So, >> excellent. >> We're really focused on building and we the coaches are all >> we've kind of decided on this is the time we build this foundation, try to promote more interest in the program. Um, Coach McKenzie is doing a great job. She's got a ton of kids out for middle school volleyball. So, I hope that program gets revitalized just through this kind of process. >> Um, it wouldn't have really made sense for us to play a varsity schedule, especially given how dominant our district is in class B. So, Um, so they're doing great. Um, soccer, same deal. Got a great win the first weekend. Um, had a couple ties and
027a couple close losses, but two big conference games coming up for them um, this weekend. Um, please, we're trying to get as many people out to this football game on the 12th. It's our home opener against uh, Flint Creek and Drummond. Um, I carelessly scheduled the soccer team and the volleyball team away on that day. So, our student section is going to be thin. So, we need as much community support as we can and I will plan more accordingly in the future for that kind of thing. And um lastly, the uh the booster club that on fantastic event um Libby was instrumental in helping with that. Our fifth annual cornhole tournament and the booster club committee did a fantastic job. I think that's the most money we've raised in any of those, would you say,
028Libby, by far? >> Yeah. And we got a couple more a couple more boosters signed up. So that was overall a great success. >> Great. >> That's all I got. >> Nice. >> Ford has any questions. >> Thanks, John. Yeah. Appreciate it. >> Business managers report. >> Yes. Um we've been really busy as has everyone else. um we submitted the FY25 TFS and um fiscal year 26 budget to the county and state. Um we had the first full payroll um September 5th. So that is a big jump to get everybody on board for that payroll. Uh we just completed a workers comp audit with um MADSPA and then the auditors will be on site on October 6th. >> It'll be a fun day. >> Moving right along. Yeah. >> Great. Well, thank you so much.
029Moving on to committee reports. We have one today. Our academic committee. >> Oh, okay. I'll talk about class rank. We talked about it. um and agreed that a kind of middle road would be um to allow people to opt in if they wish to know their C class rank and they wish for it to be sent then they let the counseling office know that and if they don't want to know and they don't want it sent then that's how we handle that. Um, I did just in case it said rationale. So, I did look this up and I don't know if you guys know how to look up look at common data sets on colleges that show what colleges really do, but um Cornell was 18% of people submitted their class showing um Stanford 18%.
030And guess what? Shockingly, everyone was in the top 10. So, so >> those people that know that they want to >> Well, you're not going to submit it. >> Yeah. >> And and so it is somewhat standard for I mean it is becoming increasingly standard not to most private schools do not do class rank. It is a metric of students against each other. It creates um choices academically that aren't always the best and that socially become really challenging. This doesn't mean that we don't have a validictorian, although I will know that many schools don't anymore. Um, because we can know who that number one person is, but they don't all have to. You don't have to know if you're number 13. >> And you are no longer going to go to Yale, Stanford, or Cornell
031because they've admitted nobody uh in the bottom half of the class. And I don't know where. I think it changes probably every year where you would be if you were in the bottom, but I would suspect that there are people with decent GPA that are in the bottom half. And so that was the reason and I guess we would I don't if there's any questions I can answer them, but it's something I've dealt with in working with kids for years. So I'm very excited about it. Yeah. >> Any comments from the world? Is that just like a easy change that we just make or is there >> in discussion action to >> talk about a little more? >> No, that's not it's not which discuss >> the new process >> the graduation credits. >> So
032number two you great submission for the committee and then in number two anybody who wants to discuss it all we can do that. Yeah, >> great. Thank you very much. We'll talk more. Yeah, that's great. >> Move on to discussion and action. Is that the motion for me? >> I move to approve the AHS counseling curriculum. >> I second the motion. >> Yeah. So everything was in the fact that this is all the programming and Janet's here to answer any questions should you have them um that the counseling program at LPS we use this year none of these are new youth aware of mental health yam wayfinder we also use this in elementary school and signs of suicide and we've used all of these in the past and the the information's in there um I
033I didn't put it here but I think we offer an opt out for all of these >> where are get presented in the counseling class. >> Um uh >> so in yeah it it outlines them in each program where they're >> okay. >> Yeah, we're focusing on health enhancement because that >> okay >> seems to be the best fit for counseling in terms of like overall wellness. But >> yeah, that's where we're going to >> that's where the that's where >> you're asking like during the day. >> Yeah. Are there counseling classes still? I I'm lost >> as a parent. I think they're great. Like I my I get a lot of like I ask kids question about it and they like mom or if we bring up that topic they're like, "Well, we learned
034this and this and they they retain a lot of information about it." So, >> and I was just going to clarify, we opt out for yam and signs of suicide, but wayfinder is is really a softball >> like how to collaborate within a team and things like that. It's not something that we would necessarily >> need. the way >> there's nothing controversial >> controversial about being good friend but it's it's controversial to talk about suicide >> for some people >> I was just wondering do we have because I don't know do at one point there were counseling classes but now there's not counseling classes there's you give this through the health and dance >> yeah it's more like pushing in like >> I just don't know what's offered that's what I'm trying to understand. So
035now I do. Thank you. >> Which is different than the elementary. They do have counseling. >> Yes, that's why. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And it's kind of a pushing model, too. >> Any other questions? >> Any questions? >> Okay. Well, thank you again for spearheading all that. We'll call for a vote. All those in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Pass unanimously. I move to approve the class rate change in practice. >> I'll second it. >> I should see that in the packet. >> Uh yeah, I was it's just after the uh the um >> Yep. Keep it going. Keep going. >> It has the verbiage sum. >> It's just like a small small page. >> Oh, sorry. They're front and back. Very. How did you not find that? >> Any other discussion on it? Any
036questions from anybody? >> No. >> Like, so I mean this is just like a really easy change, right? It's like functionally, you know, it doesn't really decide to run the metric and then put it on everybody's report card or whether or not you don't. >> Yeah, seems like it. and we create it now upon request. >> Yeah. I guess you need to somehow alert students and parents that if they want to know that's how how they do that and if because we're assuming they don't know unless they decide to opt in >> and that happens immediately or I thought there was some statute about it starting. >> Yeah. I mean since we're not, you know, we're really the the real only the only real change here is we're leaving it to the discretion of the
037student andor the parent. >> Still, so if the kid who's number one comes and says, I want my class ranked, report it, we'll report it. >> And it and so it does matter to do it this year because these kids are just now >> applying for college. And so even though 82% don't send it in, if you send it in, they will use it. Right now when you if you ever go into the common data set, which is super interesting to understand what colleges actually do as standardized, you can see that some some kids don't even report some schools don't even report grades. Many schools of course don't report you know testing is opt out and you know and so you'll see that in those schools everybody has a top has a perfect score because
038only 47 kids submitted you know so so if you don't look to the asterisk you would think that they were paying attention to those things but then when you see how many people actually did it I don't even know how some how these kids are being evaluated because they can opt out of so much uh But for sure class rank is one that is across the nation declining in popularity as a a way. >> Great. No other discussion. >> I was going to add ahead. >> I've been in touch with uh Anita and Leon. Um basically like we have to uh submit all the transcripts to Parchment. That's um the the software that we use for students to request transcripts. Um and so just to clarify, if so, if this does pass, then we would
039submit like the transcripts that do not have any class rank as this default. Um and then when I do like the common app, the counselor report, the school report, we'll put that we do not report class rank. And then if an individual student says, "Oh, I would like a a version of that transcript submitted with the rank," then that would be like a separate one we print and upload or or give to them to upload. Um uh but it wouldn't be like the default for everybody. >> The default is not to share it >> and you can bulk upload reported and not report it to parts. If a bunch of kids wanted it, you could just upload. One set that has it reported and one set that does not have it. >> Yeah. >> Our
040guess is is that anybody that isn't in the top five is not having them having it reported. >> So, I think that would be the smaller number that you'd be dealing with. >> Yeah, there's already a a thing that you toggle within Infinite Campus to show the transcript with class and without. So yeah, it would be easy if someone wanted >> Yeah, it's easy >> in the um one version or the other, >> but just how getting it out, I guess. >> I was going to say, how do we get that out so we know parents know? >> It's mainly the seniors that need to know because they're most most immediately impacted. Some of them are already applying. >> We'll communicate that out in a direct to the parents and the kids and meet with
041them. >> Do that during like a big blog. >> I'll be happy to the seniors. >> Yeah. Yeah. Great. Excellent. Anything else? We call for a vote. All those in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? >> That's unanimously. >> Right. I move to designate super the superintendent to approve graduation credits. >> I second the motion. >> This wasn't the case before. I thought it was always here. >> No, ma'am. If you remember, we had this conversation at the board level a couple months ago, maybe even last month. >> We can bring them here, but there is a in the policy. There's a and >> the whole board has to decide. >> Well, yeah. And you can just designate me to do that. It follows the same process. As I said, we chatted about this a
042couple meetings ago. >> It starts with Janet credit audits. Generally, it's students who have transferred in and really where it's, you know, it's it's getting a kid on the top to graduating from high school. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty straightforward. Any discussion, motions? Call for a vote. All those in favor? I. >> Any opposed? Passes unanimously. >> I move to approve the minor mentor program. >> A second. >> Second. >> I'm not sure how familiar the board members are. We we have had historically the CAP program here mentor program and they dis they've discontinued their their program here in Big Sky. >> It it was really good. We had a lot of people and I'll say it had nothing to do with us or with our relationship with them. >> That's Thrive, right? Thrive has they've just
043really moved they have new trust new board members and they've really moved to working kind of in the greater Gallatin area and not so much up here and we really tried to to get them back and it had nothing to do >> they were even here too. It was always fun bit. Um, so anyway, >> games. >> What's happening? >> They have a lot of games. >> Yeah. >> Don't buy any games. >> Yeah, we have a lot of games. >> And so, you know, at the great suggestion of our of our counseling crew, we Janet and Erica, they wanted to kind of take over the minor mentoring in each building. We're starting currently only with mentors that we've had in the past and we haven't created any new ones because that will I'll be
044bringing more documents back here because that will require fingerprints and successful background checks which Thrive did all of that before.
