001to make uh Dr Nolan's secretary Pro Tem third excellent okay Dana so there's very little changes to the final budget from what was presented in the tentative on the revenue side um in your booklet you'll see it all but and the revenue is the only thing that we changed was interest for every fund the interest amount already surpassed what my candidate budget was so I increased it for every fund and then I think there's a Medicaid fee um that one was coming in higher than what we had projected to so I increased that a little bit and then on the expenditure side the only changes were in the education fund and the operation maintenance fund um very minimal most of them were related to Personnel changes so some of the vacancies that we had we
002filled so we knew the exact amounts um we kind of made a code for internal substitution so we can track that a little bit better textbook adoptions was more of a shift from a district-wide accounts more into the curriculum area and then the grants that are normal so the grants that we know we kind of put them where they belong um overall very minimal change um still landed with the deficit balances in the O M fund the imrf fund and the tort fund and then overall projected FY 23 balances and all of them will end in positive fund balances um so the last slide where it says projected bounces of FY 23 you'll see those are the ending numbers kind of the cash reserves the fund balances whatever you want to call them still are
003positive for fy23 foreign thank you looks good comments and other questions facility emotions so moved second Nolan yes yes foreign here Temple here melon here and here here now I need a motion second to leak Eric Nolan uh secretary Pro town motion second yes all right Temple yes yes yes yes yes I need a motion second to approve tonight's agenda second okay yes and both yes Nolan yes yes please join us from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all but to welcome everyone who came out in those uh viewing from home welcome thank you we have some of our CA Representatives with us tonight thank you for coming

008yes Nolan yes and last item in your motion second to discuss and approve the intergovernmental agreement between 301 and King County Sheriff's Office to provide a student resource officer to the district second uh Dr Mangan and I have been working with um our legal counsel and the state's attorney King County State's Attorneys legal counsel and also with Sheriff Payne uh we're grateful for the relationship that we have both with the King County State's Attorney's office and with the sheriff's office we're able to reach um an agreement on a contract that would run through 2025 and then could either be extended with mutual agreement or terminated um with 30 days written notice by either party one of the nice things oh one Sheriff Payne was elected and became sheriff he reinstated what had been a previous
009practice years ago which is that the cost of those student resource officer was split between the school district and the sheriff's department so he reinstated that that's something that we're very grateful for so it helps make it more affordable for the district before we were paying 500 percent under the previous Sheriff okay so we're grateful for that um so we split we literally split compensation including overtime now if we would have to have an extra detail we would have to pick up the price for an extra detail but that's reasonable are there any changes between this agreement and the last one some of it relates to the trainings and that we were able to there's certain trainings that changes in the school code for trainings for student resource officers that were able to get included
010in this agreement so like some of it would be like working with the sheriff's department working with our officer for even things like CPI training and things like that all right yes yes okay who got information the enrollment report is included in your board packet there were some changes as we were looking at the state data from last month to this month so um it's cleaner this is very this is a cleaner version we are 146 students at this point from a year ago at this time so that shows our growth in our district which is a 3.14 growth rate at this point over last year just for this month compared month to month by the committee reports for assistance um so I showed up a few minutes late today to the curriculum committee meeting
011but we were they were in the middle of discussing um how to support uh teachers at varying levels uh with regard to diversity um and in the classroom LGBT stuff racial stuff and how we can support teachers uh we came up with the idea of there's already um a kind of Faculty libraries that exist in the buildings and what would it look like if we kind of had specific books targeted at how to support teachers kind of incorporating this in the classroom which at the end of last year in the CCC committee there was a good amount of anxiety about um different things and how we're going to have these conversations what if we don't know what to say what if parents come back at us because we answered a question a certain way that
012they might think is an appropriate way to answer their question and so how do we support teachers to feel like they're equipped so came up with the idea of exploring what that might look like in the seven schools they already exist in different places in the schools but we'd specifically be looking at getting materials to help with this type of intervention and support for incorporation of these kind of ideas in the classroom and then uh the second half of the meeting was spent surrounding grading policies and and how do we how is um how is uh you know learning demonstrated how is it measured and then what are the strengths of kind of the way that we're doing it and the potential weaknesses and really opportunities for growth we did not get to the second
013the third and fourth ones because we really spent a lot of time uh splitting to K5 and then 612 kind of two groups talking about after each of us had kind of provide our own ideas on there really talking about what that looks like in the K5 level um really recognizing the application of some of our ideas especially um in our younger K-5 kids has been challenging for one of the teachers that was there recognizing hey we can talk about it everybody gets in the class but the independent ability to kind of then apply some of these different things that we're learning and put them into practice and extrapolating from one thing to the next has been noticeably challenging um and and particular with our second graders just because they were our coveted class kindergarten
014was two and a half hours every day if they chose to come to kindergarten first grade was a pseudo-normal year last year and then this year still so you know our teachers that have been here for a while especially our younger grades are recognizing clear differences which obviously is going to extrapolate moving forward so we're going to continue a grading discussion about you know how we can work to be creative and and I'm I'm I'm blanking on the language that the high school people just a couple things they said Esther right at the end uh their discussion really surrounded they're still doing a lot of traditional grading but they really want to move to more of a personalized learning one of the teachers talks about how he really did personalized learning so he had students
015that were maybe a week ahead of other students in his classroom and made some adjustments more of the phenomenal so much more student focused and much more student-led in terms of their learning they're trying to move to in nk5 we also talked about to the creativity right so if our teachers that the three teachers that we had there and so if we recognize that something is lacking or there's an assessment brief assessment that led to some wow where do we go we got to stop figure out what happened pivot maybe you're taking a break for a day in math because you have to go back to the thing two days ago that you thought everybody knew so encouraging them to be creative um and giving them some latitude right to to do what they need
016to do in the best interest of their kids um and kind of balancing you know want to be data driven want to see progress but the same time how do we balance that with again especially for these younger kids of social emotional needs that they have is is challenging for our teachers so understandably so some discussion away from greedy really talking about right now we currently do traditional grading and that at the 612 they talk a lot about traditional grade and they felt that sometimes they're not able to meet the students where they're at so giving Choice novels one of them was an English language teacher talking about Choice novels so students just do maybe science you know fix Ed to do that to get buy-in but looking for the end goal of the same
017outcomes the other teacher was an honors AP teacher so he does a lot of much more personalized learning where the students are some students are way ahead some social behind some are working directly with him for instruction others are choosing to be more independent and doing more of a focus like a blended class yeah it's kind of like even though they're all in class he's kind of running it that way the middle school teacher talked about still very traditional they're trying to move to a little bit more student-led where it's a lot more student focused and more better for student engagement trying to look away from that typical grading which is all done on either summative assessments those end of unit assessments or those types of things it's informative more formative pieces so as they're
018working along the way they're adjusting their learning as they see the students needs inside the classroom instead of just continue to move forward kind of like what Eric said was to kind of back up and re reteach something or re-look at it and then go back at it to make sure that students are successful as we go along with sometimes that could be a pendulum they're playing with it right now so really so we have different students and our different teachers in different Pockets that are playing with it not not a 612 initiative at this point that was just English science and then we had a socialized teacher at the middle school level what future that's where they will hope to get to so our conversations about what where are we at in grading right
019now and then whereas we're going to hope to get to with grading I mean we have I mean to be fair we have Caitlin this year that's doing standards-based grading for the first time right we have u46 that was there five five years ago maybe I mean like we're moving in that direction I think it's about how we how we implement it at what levels how to you know that that's what does it look like exactly in reality and I mean I have a lot of parents in in taneland um you know who who are confused about like understanding it so I think there really is an educational component not only for our teachers but for our parents who I think we have a lot of anxious parents who want to know exactly what their
020kids have in the grades that they have what does this mean is that and I think that that that's going to be a big a big part of the educational process as well that's really about getting the students engage in their own learning knowing where they're at and so that they know what they need to learn we talk a lot about outcomes learning targets with the 612 so kids know what they're expected to know at the end of the period and exits books about really understanding what that means to them and not just doing a lab the sake of doing a lab it allowed to have this one kid who writes all the answers this kid who does the lab and the other two have no idea so they shifted last year in the science
021department as a whole to do more assessment based so they do the lab They Don't Really collect their lab books that's all for them to learn but they give them an assessment and they have to be able to answer that session they have to have been engaged in the process to know and be successful in that assessment question all right diversity equity and inscription committee all right so this is a district-wide committee we've had you know Administration from all levels from the high school middle school and Elementary um just from the various grades there's also had some teachers come as well we meet weekly so far we've had 10 sessions since August 10th I'll say that when we began on August 10th we probably had roughly 10 students we've probably grown to 30 to 35
022students come from all diverse backgrounds we also have grown and even just administrators and some of the teachers and staff were probably sitting around 50 and this is actually pretty cool because we get together at 7 A.M so on Wednesdays and we have come up with the mission of trying to bring Awareness on the different types of issues with diversity Equity inclusion we've had some really intense conversations not just from the students but the you know staff members on just you know our own diverse backgrounds and what we all bring to the table I feel that we're at a point now we're students are really really engaged as Esther mentioned it's definitely student-led and focused they come to the table with the different things that they want to see happen within our district right now
023one of our initiatives is going to be on March 3rd we're going to have a teacher and teacher Institute at the high school and this committee is actually going to be a keynote at that and they're going to so you know provide Insight they're going to break out into some small groups as well and so not only are we having conversations but we're also coming up with actions as well you know to kind of help with this initiative it's a pretty exciting I can tell that the students even though we're dragging them in at 7am um they're happy to be there they're telling their friends it's growing in population and so it's definitely something that I think our district needs um but you can see that it's welcomed and a lot of our go ahead
024I was going to say how are you finding you know the adults in the room so if that's you and you whoever else are people are designated we'll call them leaders are you guys working on facilitating conversation among students in the faculty do you feel like it is a collaborative process is that how it's felt for you guys or what's happened like absolutely I mean to your point um I think at first the students are a little shy you know trying to it's a safe place feel free to speak um of what you want to speak to I think it's just grown on a staff level because we've invited others you know to kind of attend and they've been interested um I will say that I'm definitely one of the people that calls on people
025um and says okay it's time for you to say something Mandy so I do but I think it just brings them out and you know they're all just open to having the dialogue and I think what really helps is that you know not just for the staff but the students but once they hear their peers say something that it makes them want to say something and then it just ends up being a huge collaborative discussion at that point so and it's kind of just been morphing into that over time I mean it's incredible to listen to what these students have to say and the experience that they're bringing to the table and not afraid to really speak what they want to happen uh part of their goal is really to transform the way people think
026understanding that people are not what they are on the outside but really what they are on the inside and seeing them and transforming uh not just student body but also our staff and how do we go about doing that so as we're looking at activities you know partly they're the voices we're calling it The Voices within uh that's the keynote that they'll be giving we also have two other Keynotes Dr Nolan's coming along with one of his colleagues at his own uh business and then we have another gentleman who will be coming to kind of give us a diverse look we're breaking up the teachers in elementary then middle school and high school three different groups so that we can rotate them through and have some activities our students were really excited about this opportunity
027to do this additionally we're going to look for something like the old International Day to try to get some awareness about cultures and some of the other elements of each of our cultures within our district and so we're looking to get more a community based Initiative for this year our goal is really 612 focused this year and then moving down to K5 next year it's just too much to bite off in one year the other piece that really has come out that really has touched my heart I think is the students talking about identity crisis in middle school and not having adults that look like them and not having somebody to connect to so how do we find those peer leaders that might go down to middle school and do almost like if you will
028a Big Sister Big Brother kind of initiative at the middle school to have access and have students have the opportunity we would not force that but maybe a Google Docs something to sign up if they would like to marry up against a high school a student that they connected with so having them go down and educate the 612 the six well the six eight group they're very very excited about that they've been working with Charles Horton who is the sponsor for their club and so they're working almost side by side with us we're doing a lot of the conversation about more Global activities and then they're doing more of the internal activities at the building level with Charles so it's it's really I mean we're very pleased with how it's going I think our students
029are very pleased with how it's going that's really present in the number of students that are willing to get up and come meet with us at 7am I think they come for the donuts so everyone we do serve them Donuts but every Wednesday morning so it's been a really good experience I think for all of us absolutely well yeah request we received a request from Smart procure now you're familiar with their requests where they're looking for purchase orders and things like this this was a request for um employee information where they're asking for the first the last day of employees their position title their department they had a direct phone number for work uh email so we would we would were able to respond to the foil and um in part what we would not
030do was share any personal contact information so it was just only district contact information that we're that we shared so but that is all we have tonight I need a motion seconds to adjourn and go into executive session second thanks everyone
