012community and so we will do it on Thursday the 19th um we'll do some a little bit different scheduling trying to um open up some space in the auditorium so all the parents can uh see their uh kids perform at the Christmas program so information uh will be going out um tomorrow if not tomorrow Wednesday when I get back on campus and so um explaining on that so we're looking forward to uh the Christmas program um that's all I have thank you Mr any question thank you um kind to make it brief and Mr Williams hit a lot of some of the similar highlights for the last month from us I think our enrollment has gone up one we got a new sixth grader last week so they're they're our biggest cost secondary they're at

01333 total kiddos so we're about 173 for secondary um we're really focusing still on attendance we're tracking it daily weekly monthly always trying to see what the trends are see what days are are and see if we can find identify anything that's caused a major issue or we see the day after Halloween was not a great attendance day for us but it still wasn't bad I think we were I think that was the worst day we'd ever seen anything close to 80% so wasn't a shocker we were we we're glad right now in November that we're averaging 93% attendance a day um for the average for October was 94.6 across all classes the thing that we're seeing is our eighth grade class only has 15 kids and it doesn't take very many of them to

014be gone for our numbers to look pretty rough in that class I think last year I didn't see the data because Miss pot was gone today um but last week the Freshman went into Thursday having 100% for the week which was the first time we've seen that which is we kind of tried to find those things and celebrate them um across the board because I think it's important we submitted our attendance plans with the Ed Mr Williams and Mr Mr Williams and I attended in person Rodriguez was on Virtual and we went to the state attendance Workshop in aler was a really good opportunity to network and hear other schools and other groups and what they're doing to work on their attendance but I'm really proud of where we're at attendance wise still working on

015our capturing kids Hearts that's still a big Focus for us and still making a big difference in our school um Mr Parker and several other teachers attended a two-day workshop in snow in Albuquerque and they got trained on the program they didn't get to go during the summer and Mr Parker was the cruise director for that group um but they got to go to the summer training and from all that I've heard it was really good help them better understand the program and what they need to be doing to make it work and help our kids we've had a couple different things for drug prevention education um on Friday the 1st uh laa mental health came in and did an assembly about the dangers of vaping and substance abuse for all the middle school and

016high school students and then we had a similar program uh last Wednesday on the 13th after school for the teachers so we could better understand some of the things that we're looking for and things that you know what vaping is and that kind of stuff um and better understand that our kids have done Saturday School of Art we had print making they did the piano Workshop which was really cool because our kids none of our kids really knew anything about playing pianos and keyboards and they seem to really enjoy that that day um we had the theater group come and do a play and this the middle schoolers got to go of that and seem to really enjoy that um Gear Up has been doing stuff it seems like every day we have something extra

017happening G has done two presentations we had this Denning and the seniors put together a really nice breakfast for Veterans Day um we just we've had a lot going on uh last week we s home progress reports because we're at midn Weeks um the note that I sent home this week to or the out to our teachers this week is that we have 20 days or now it's 19 days until Christmas break and so it's going to go really fast um as far as school goes and we're wrapping up quickly the progress reports we do have a datab or a spreadsheet for the teachers and for aod and I to see who's failing what that looks like why are they failing but we can have some conversations we can make parent phone calls if necessary

018um just so in case you know we have kiddos that are in danger fa the N9 weeks or semester we take we do something to be proactive about it before it gets gone too far there's a lot of things going on and like I said it seems like every day we have something finish the first round of teacher evaluations I think I'm missing four so that's not bad for teachers get those done probably come back all I have if you have any questions happy to answer them thank you all right um we've talked a little bit about 40-day data we had a mistake on CT data as well some of our codings um incorrect you guys know anything about ped they got someone new up there and they're poking their hands in all directions aggravating

019people but we've got that corrected um as of right now a education has 911 students enroll from sixth grade to 12th grade um that's the largest enrollment we've had in a long time so that's pretty excited business um is about 52 students cyber security is 12 students totaling about 155 students of the 173 students in our district or secondary school is involved in C te that education which is something p is really wanting to see they're wanting to see more 100% more students in these programs being hands-on experience um there are some duplicates throughout the programs 94 students uh the high school are enrolled in CTE courses which is the data we turn into pet the data we get to claim that helps us get our funding things like that um so that averages up

020to 93% of our students 18 High School students are not involved in CTE classes at all meaning they're taking some other elective class in the school day and they could be in systems go systems go is now CT so this next go around um I did give you guys a copy of this on November 12th we celebrated our 95th Anniversary um that was really exciting for us um we received a proclamation from uh Bill Williams at the Chavis County Commissioner's Office um or County office he came and read the proclamation dedicated November 12th 2024 it's tman day um so that's really exciting From the Rough numbers I can count from all the information I we've had over about 3,500 members go through the H chapter 95 which is a pretty good deal for um next

021thing Hegman F had our first set of ldes cash Foster a sixth grader played second in our district he was the first sixth grader in our district to ever play second qualify for State um I was talking to a couple gentlemen this this weekend when I was at of training we are actually the first school to have sixth graders qualified for State events in the state of New Mexico um we're one of four schools offering sixth grade ad which is quite amazing um the C is making that far and G these kids trip and trip moth and Daniel Romero placed in the top 10 in our district trip was seventh Daniel was sixth um which is great because they were going up against eighth graders every other Junior High kid there was an eighth grader

026new item is budget adjustments anybody have any other questions for Miss [Music] Jolene Item B I think help for Mr Parker to attend CT conference good evening board Miss Rees A-Rod Miss Jolene um tonight I'm asking for permission um to travel to out of state in 20 uh 2023 I was collected as New Mexico's act teacher of the year um which was a great honor and part of that was an opportunity to apply for the turn to key scholarship and program for professional development of young ad teachers um turn the key is pay and will cover my hotel my flights and my meals while I'm in or San Antonio Texas during that week um I will be sharing and accommodations with the rest of the sship recipients of I think 18 out of 200 that

028reviewing the school calendars to ensure you know compliance with the requirements so basically you know there's two calendars one that we submit to them and it's their format and then they're checking theirs with ours for any discre discrepancy so many schools you know they've been asked to revise dates uh graduation early release dates and of course you know um other events so of course hegerman you know was not an exception so I received a call from our budget analyst and regarding several discre discrepancies on our calendar specifically questions you know Ros about the number of parent teacher conferences days as you know it appears that we had scheduled two days in October and then two in February so I clarified to to the analyst that you know the rationale behind our scheduling and the way

029if you look you know for the the calendar on October there's the 17th and the 18th so it looks like we are taking two days for parent teacher conferences the same thing in February the 13th and the 14th well that's not the case the 17th is actually a regular school day for students and we have conferences you know in the afternoon however it was not specified on the calendar so ped wanted us to make sure that we noted that so if you see there's a little uh note on the right hand towards the very bottom it's in red and it says uh parent teacher conferences are held Thursday nights from 3:30 to 7 and then Fridays from 8 to 12 so they just wanted a clarification on that so then you know that was approved

030so then Additionally you know in the past we've we've always had two early release days which is you know like on December the 19th and basically it's to accommodate our testing for the secondary so we had on December the 19th we had an early release date and then again on the 20th so I was told that the 19th cannot be an early release date it can be however we run into issues of uh Cuts in funding so is that a count day the 19th or the it's a calendar day so yes it's a count day but we had it as an early release so we this is December so what happens okay if you look at December the we had the 19th and the 20th we released now we just left it for the 20th

031so the 19th will be a regular school day if we serve lunch though that might count the we can have 10 early release dayses that the pen will approve and you know it's usually like on you know one early relas day per month the early release days are not early release days or dismissal for the teachers they are for the kids but we can we only have 10 so having the 19th was an additional early release day and then also the same thing for May May the we had the 22nd as early release day and it has been done like this for ever and ever and pep said if you want to continue doing it it's okay P however you know they cut into the funding so you that the funding could be significant so

032you know we will be okay we can be here I mean early release it's 1 o'clock anyway so I can guarantee you that we will not have very many kids here that you know we still have to be here to offer the the uh class and then so now early release we do have it on the 20th which is the last day of school and uh teachers will be released to to leave you know after the kids leave and then the same thing on the 23rd okay so now so those early release dates so again on December the 19th and then the May 22nd they were flagged and not approved so those changes have been noted and then you know uh that's why I had to make the necessary adjustments to remain in comp I

033with their requirements now another update that I need to bring you you know bring to your you need to know about this which involves um pet what they want and this includes for kindergarteners and for the seniors that all of the students they have to attend a total of 180 school days including the seniors and you know like like I I was mentioning a lot of the schools you know they had to to change their graduation ceremonies and so what they really want is for the seniors if we have on our calendar May 23rd then they want graduation to be on May 23rd or after so ours is on the 17th and what we have been doing in the past is that the seniors they always get out a week before graduation so you know

034I'm going to leave graduation for May the 17th as it you know as we had it planned the only thing is that our seniors will have to attend school up until the 16th which is that Friday and then the follow after graduation it's going to be a day of you know the seniors they still have to come back and maybe we could do their field trip and maybe we can do the um you know we could have activities for picking up their diplomas their transcripts Etc and maybe cleaning up the lockers then we can do that but we will not be able to have the kids um you know be out because the way it's been done for years and years you know the seniors would get out like possibly their last day would be

035like May 9th so now they have to they have to be here until we need to make sure we do their testing uh Monday the 12th and the 13th and then be ready everybody has to be ready for back I know it's it's really hard the seniors I don't know if you guys have have not told them I know it's it's hard for special so um again you know I made the the changes and for us basically we just had to clarify the parent teacher conference day and then December the 19th and May 22nd those will be just regular days regular school day so we do have a new um secretary and there's a lot of changes a lot of changes who's your now her name is Mariana Padia who was the one that was

036was the intern she was the The Intern uhuh like five different times is the six it's the charmot ab whole public UC questions the they probably won't however if we especially if we make well after graduation all they have to do and we always have them come in to pick up their diploma so that could be we can consider it kind of like a virtual virtual week they can come pick up their diploma uh we can schedule them the next day to come and pick up their transcripts turn in their computers and then they're done we can have them yes absolutely you know we can we can be creative with it and but that's what P wants the same thing with kindergartners there's no more kindergarten starting like a week after or you know later

037or finishing earlier they have to it has to be 180 days and that didn't say anything to us for graduation because it does not say anything here about graduation like I'm leaving it at that so I'm just asking for approval of these uh changes and any other questions I'll make the motion second next item is architectural firm for phase one of planning okay so um the this form that I will be given to you shortly you know I want to present it present to the board of education for the approval regarding the selection of the uh architectural f for the planning and design phase which is phase one of the new school to be build here at Herman municip Municipal School so the selection was made by a committee that reviewed the proposals from multiple

038uh firms so we actually had a total of when we had the first meeting I believe we had nine firms that attended the the pre proposal meeting and then after that then they had like a week and a half to be able to turn in their proposal so from there we had six agencies that turned in a proposal and then um so the architectural firm selected The Firm name is Decker and the primary contact is sanj Adu and the F location is in Albuquerque okay so the committee you know the uh A-Rod was part of it and Cody and um we had several others so um you know was it was formed to evaluate architectural firms based on the following criteria you know the experience with the similar school projects the proposed design vision and

039the approach uh the project timelines cost estimates referencing uh previous client feedback Etc so then after a thorough review the committee recommends uh Decker to proceed with the planning and design of the new school so the recommendation is that the Board of Education approve the selection for deer I do have the um the binder here if you would like to see it and uh you know so basically we just need the action for uh approval and finally you know this form right here the binder is their actual plans or it's not the actual plans it's not the design of the school but there's I mean it's pretty complete you will see and it has you know it has a a rough dra draft here and um you know I will have it here so if

040anybody would like to peruse through it and if you need a little bit more time we do have more of these binders at central office that you can look at um you know all the agencies they did a really really good job but again you know for for I wasn't part of this selection committee because I can't but again you know it's basically the um the experience with the similar projects you know there's pictures here there's you know just uh there's a lot of factors can I comment yes absolutely um one thing that we really noticed is that this firm has done combined buildings so whether it be high school and Junior High combined or Elementary up familiar with that and so they're familiar with those needs people available they have a whole te available

041and they be available I think the lowest was 80% of the time so so they're going to be there for us and then you know they've done some local stuff capan the capan school they did the administration office in aresia and you know those are two of the common ones that we get to see a [Music] lot really good job they worked out the exact details about where yet so like said they have a rough draft on there they you know Daniel told me that this guy San when he was here we're showing around he was already sketching ideas like this is what we can use they want to incorporate anything that we have that's special to us into the new architecture so they understand the history they understand the Nostalgia they understand you know

042the Traditions um you know they have good ideas they they they hit on things like we need parking we need busing and this plan did it better than a lot of the others I think if you look like on page 27 or 28 you can see kind of like a rough wasn't on the committee but when they brought AR he was the only architect that truly asked me questions what need what we need to do and so I'm looking I got to look at these and they were pretty pretty good I like the work this what happened most JY to it looks like yes we will have two gems but it looks like we might be able to keep keep one no this is this would be the new building shape but again that doesn't

043mean that's it's going to be because we still have to [Music] the scope on this was a little bit more detail than the other so like they said this is the planing phase and they said x x amount of time I think this was the only one with like an in Day July 2027 but then I think they can't remember I know like budget wise if they go over it's not over by a whole lot on some of the similar budgets they put in there and then I think their their timing as well was really close you know very within what they say we're going to be done by this time they get close to and they say that the start time is going to be um hopefully soon I mean yeah I like something

044approve it now and then so we need the approval January I think I can't remember it's in there there's a scale in there that shows like we're doing the design phase at this time and then we'll start this construction phase that means we're moving you guys here and destroying these buildings you like get with the city and take that the road in between the schools out just like well no I think the road is still there because we I don't think everything's on that side everything will be on that side so we'll go down Cambridge and then you'll turn about that same road and that's going to be the [Music] bus bus Ling and then like the CT all that stuff will be on the back end the new pipeyard will kind of be where

045the greenhouse and all that is the way I understand the map yeah I didn't look at someone in a new track for free we let them build a building didn't get that far do a good job maybe so is this the design of the twostory also it'll be through 12 yes it is cool but I'm so sentimental about everything down exting build like I think there somewhere they those things that we really good like they taken the gym fles and installed them like did something they brick off the school and put it in something it was hard for me not to be part of this but I couldn't she she was part but she wasn't part she got go all [Music] [Laughter] happens was me Cody and Danny so we had Dan Jennings and then

046we had a a parent and a board member part of the committee several of them were not able to attend and then what was disappointing was uh had six five but we had to throw three out two I think two it was three three binders throw three out because they didn't have tax documentation or something else that was required like so there's a list of everything that they have to have in their their binder and if something is missing then they're dis like the elementary I thought we had discussed like the stuff like we're just that okay so right now we don't we have't discussed any event right now we just that was just his person thoughts to his propal and I bet you anything he probably did those with his eyes closed but anyways

047I mean highly intelligent man so we haven't discussed anything at all so you know once he I think he's going to be here like every week or and or every two weeks to you know talk to us and then that's when tell them well this is what we want they could changed completely because there's still no plan there's no no Des right now I don't know if you saw I think there their like central office was left alone no was a little yeah we'll just keep you guys far away okay renovate District I I assume it has to be demolished I mean I don't think you know having a brand new building and then central office being there I just don't think that would very good if we can keep like the um the comments

048area and see what I was thinking if we could keep the comments area because the shop there and that could be like a CTE area and then the lady from uh psfa she said oh you guys need to serve like a state-of-the-art facility that could be she recommended that it could be like the central office you know the central office Administrative Building and maybe like the special ed department and it's not thr away yeah I that bation I electrical that will probably have to be replaced I'm sorry I only brought one what you think oh I'm not sure I'm okay with that 12 the same mentality so long they really don't mingle so basically you know like kindergart or the elementary will be like the lower level and they stay there and then you know

049the high school will probably we enter like through one side element elementary through the other that's my vision I don't know but they don't mingle at all only people that be on the bottom floor would be me no you want to shop up STS yes no no just kidding no you'll probably be away completely away we're not keeping anything but yeah so there's the lady from psfa recommended that we keep the cafeteria and the only reason is because with the new schools the cafeteria kitchen is fairly small it's going to be a lot smaller than what we currently have and what we currently have it's it's in good condition so if we can keep the cafeteria possibly but early uh childhood but that would need Renovations too and then this will Pro will go it

050will be demolished completely I don't think we need to keep anything here and then over at the high school pretty much everything with the exception of the shop area possible and then the comment area which the lady from psfa she recommended that we could use that comments area as the administrative building I thought on that one said it was keeping the gym too and the gym yes but just the gym or like the offices and the locker no all of that it has to be renovated everything and hopefully no more this guy was yeah this guy was pretty knowledgeable as far as the square footage and [Music] the then it's going to be question of what the foundation stuff is like on those ones for renovation she did that what they do is they come

051and do like a foundation what did she call it that they go deep down like maybe a foundation with I I I can't remember what they call it you know that's not my forte construction is just not my forte but um anyways you know that they they prep everything before the construction any other question and then I will need everybody's signature maybe I'll can I get Mr P's like in the morning even if he didn't attend the meeting Mr ply stand dine stop that's what I was thinking but I don't know if he can sign you know being that he's not here toight [Laughter] I had one of the students today ask Meed one of our workers don't you feel bad don't you feel bad you know destroying [Laughter] [Music] this so um are we

052on this new agenda we we sent you a new agenda yes all right next it is disposal of I gave you a list here um it's basically some obsolete equipment that's not even worth [Music] anything on can come and take it and dispose it for us are you on here Daniel yes yes I [Music] am what was your proposal then on disposal day um So currently these are all um older models of monitors uh these monitors are very very old and I do not think these would be worth um sending them to the auction um so the proposal there would be to find a way to get these out of inventory and then have them um picked up in this case by Elite and disposed of um accordingly to make sure their r cycled or

053um if they could very well be used for any more of the um needy people that would be great as well um but Elite would mainly take care of um disposing them for us um we use a place in in r that shreds our stuff and they give you a certificate we're done tell you exactly the S numbers and things we on all the [Music] D and stuff because of the SSI information on them so I don't know if that's what y looking for who is it there's the Bas um is it shred boss shred boss we use them for our paper documents pick all Stu they have certificate the next day they do more than just paper they just any questions about uh okay so my report is somewhat short today so just a

054few dates uh November the 19th that's tomorrow the literacy night Mr Williams already talked about this um November the 22nd we do have the early release that will be this coming Friday and then also we also have the Bobcat Bible break again the last time we had this 79 students attended this and hopefully you know this Friday I think it will be less because a lot of people will be trael but it is it is available uh December the 2 classes uh will resume after a well deserved uh fall break okay and then I just wanted to talk to you a little bit about the uh vista's uh designation and I know that the administrators just recently had their presentation regarding the vistas but that was for the 22 23 School year so the report

055card for the 2324 it's already out and uh so I'm not going to go you know in details about this because I do want the administrators to be able to be able to talk about their school however I am very pleased that we our schools the elementary school is can you go into the by school type the name of the school right there okay go ahead and type the elementary Hagerman Elementary the second one okay if you look at the elementary so it tells you right right there the uh Essa School designation is traditional So currently the elementary they stand with 45.1 points but they are traditional and that's where you want to be or you want to be at a spotlight the spotlight will be the highest ranking okay so we definitely the elementary

056they've been traditional they were traditional it's been for 3 years already so they're doing a really good job so let's go to I I don't want to go into very you know details let's go into the middle school and these guys just I am like so amazed look at this the Middle School Spotlight and if you look down okay go scroll down Mr Parker it's going the little keyboard brow okay so if you look you know there uh School distinction they have a total of 62 points that is considered Spotlight this rarely happens you might have a high school with a spotlight designation and you might have an elementary school however for a middle school to have this ranking this is significant and most of it if you scroll down please if you look at

057the reading proficiency we have 60% of our students that are actually proficient in reading only 25% are proficient in in math and then science proficiency is 38% scroll down a little bit more okay so look at the growth so again for the math they made some growth but again we definitely need to continue working a lot harder with the math but look at the reading growth so that is uh significant okay if you look and then of course there's additional metrics there that are probably still not out and again the I want the administrators to be able to look at this and be able to to uh explain to this in detail so if you go to the high school as you know you may recall the high school we were considered CFI which is

058needs of improvement specifically in um for graduation however you know and again this is for last year so the high school we pretty much got out of that designation now we need to make sure that we sustain we are a traditional now but if so with our pointage so we have 59.3 which is really really good so if you keep scrolling down okay our proficiency if you look our math and I don't think I need to explain what happened there with the math we definitely I think this year it's going to math department will be increasing significantly but if you look at the the ratings 32% and then the science 36% but if you scroll down Mr Parker and look at the graduation we improved 14.3% and go ahead and explore that that okay so

059we had a 14.3% overall uh graduation growth and if you look down I mean that one you can toggle but now we have a total of 90% overall for the four-year graduation five year it stayed the same 90% which is really good graduation rate now keep scrolling down there's the six year 76.7 and then go down one more that's it okay so as you could see I mean we were the sixth year we were at 63 now we from 63 all the way to 90 so that is significant growth for for us and again this is you know a lot of the initiatives that we are currently doing I know this is for last year but we did this last year and we just making sure that the students are here that they are here

060on time making phone calls you know just doing whatever it takes to get this the kids to be in school so I who knows to everybody they're just doing amazing work amazing work okay and again I will have the oh my goodness I don't know what's wrong with me I will have the administrators be able to to give their report you know in the near future I stand for [Music] questions any questions thanks thank you um thanks everybody where
