006>> It works for us. >> I think it's super important to notice. Sorry, Pam. Um, too, that this isn't just about tests. This is about the whole child. That what we're working on and what our kids are working so diligently on, what our staff is working so diligently on is the fact that that they can perform myriad tasks and do it well because they have been given strong foundational skills and I think that's what it assesses. So this is not just a testing thing. This is a they are they're walking out ready to tackle the world thing. So that's amazing. >> Thanks. >> Which is like the five stars, right? That's the five stars and five stars deep. Yes, >> is pretty commendable. >> Um I also think in light of the recent national news
007on education, it's even more spectacular >> that we we're very fortunate in this community. >> Yeah. On top of that, what Pam's mentioning is the national news saying that the school students have gone down in science and math and and reading >> and reading. Um I think that that a lot of our success and continued success in that is because we were able to stay open during CO and and um that that that closing of schools during CO has is reflective is reflected in those the lowering. Uh so you know kudos again to to our administrators and to their staff for staying open and keeping kids in school and and allowing them to to continue their education in spite of the >> Yeah. Congratulations to our students too. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Great. >> Sure.
008And of course such high achievement is the result of relationships. We know this. You know first you have to take care of the child, make sure they're safe, happy, healthy. um and through those relationships then you can really build the foundational skills that lead to this high achievement. So, you know, we're proud because it says that we're doing lots of things right. So, thank you so much again. >> Thank you. >> Yeah.

Any discussion? >> This is specifically for the two policies that are mentioned in the resolution and not for any others. >> Yes.

So then on uh the policy A305 on the co-op >> we

As we look at our van inventory, they're aging faster because there's so many trips related to individual students because that's what we use for uh taking individual smaller groups. So, they're having a little bit more wear and tear. As you recall, we did a spring bus purchase as well. So, we bought two in the fall
024last year and we bought a two in the spring. So, we have two more coming.

Maybe you should explain what that
026is because I think that's a kind of a neat program. Amy, would you like to >> Sorry, I should have gone straight to you. Pardon me. Go ahead, Mr. Kesh. >> Basically, we've given an alternative pathway to two of our students. Um, Berkshire is eligible for a lot of other grant monies that we're necessarily not eligible for. So, they can they can add some program that's not available to us. and to help defer their costs as well as they save us on the back end.

And I think, you know, it goes to to say Jim's role at the high school certainly has opened up opportunity for individualizing some things that some of our students, I think, otherwise would not have the opportunity to take advantage of. And I think we're seeing individualized um opportunities for kids in a way that we haven't before. So, we're grateful. Um you you're going to hear more about his work on some of the report card measures that are a little bit more, you know, thousandfoot um lens, but when you hear about some of the individual students he's working with helping um it's pretty amazing

So, talk about achievement. Our kids are achieving everywhere they go. So, I just wanted to make you aware that we had a student compete in the Shining Star competition down at Playhouse Square um representing West Giaga. She went as an alternate um and performed um on stage as a part of uh the Keybank Shining Star competition. She is a beautifully talented young lady, Charlotte Spire. Um and so I've I'm hoping I can um entice her to come to the board meeting so that you can see for yourself and we can watch a little clip of her performance because she is um
034a stunning performer. So, we're thrilled that she represented West Chiaga so well with her grace and her talent in September. Um, we had a Wolverine kickoff classic. You might remember that I, um, told you about that be at our last board meeting. It was upcoming. We had, I think, around 400 people in attendance to that. Um, I told Don Ben &a, "Oh, it'll be, you know, quick. It's probably not going to be that many people will eat at the food trucks." Oh, no. to all of those things. Um Don was like, "What is going on?" Um there were lots of people here. It was such a wonderful evening to um celebrate our fall athletes and um have the community come together. Each of our fall sports teams put on a game for kids um from
035face painting. There was putt putt from our golf team um that we failed in and um many things for our young children to take advantage of and have fun with. Um and then we celebrated them by announcing each of the sports team and getting a little preview for the season to come. So I think it was um wildly popular and and a really great kickoff. We had beautiful weather um despite the um weather report. So there you go. So that was a wonderful way to get the year kicked off. Um homecoming was this past weekend. We celebrated our sweet 16. That was uh our eight gentlemen and young ladies that were um on our homecoming court. Um we had a great game Friday night against Kat. And um no fear for a running clock because
036I believe the running clock was for the Wolverines last Friday night. So they're doing quite well. It was their second win um for our football team. So we're excited about that. Their season right now is two and two. Um we spent a lot of time celebrating our fall athletes. I've been to women's soccer, tennis, volleyball. I have boys soccer coming up this weekend, I think I can get to. Um, and I don't know about golf. We're going to put on the old shoes, see if I can get out there and walk a few holes with our golf team. Cross country, I have yet to see, but um, our athletes are achieving and they're representing us well, so we're proud of them as well. Um, all is not great news. Of course, with all the good
037news, there has to come some bad news. Um, so we had a bit of a plumbing issue at the high school that we've taken care of. Um, you know, our facilities, um, sometimes fool us into thinking they're great. Um, so we've taken care of it. We have fabulous maintenance um, staff. We are so grateful to them. So, I wanted to thank them personally. Um, they were Johnny on the spot. Um, obviously the problem is more in the bowels of the building, pardon the bad pun. Um but it is um definitely some plumbing issues that won't be rectified so easily. We'll there'll be more work to do and we'll keep you informed of that as time goes on as we know a little bit more about the um actual um depth of that project because it
038will be a bigger project. We we think um >> the first time, right? This is >> Oh gosh. No, no, no. >> Is this plumbing buried under concrete and floors and all that fun stuff too? >> It's definitely >> small get into the tunnel. >> Well, we've worked on getting one small enough to get to our problem area. So, we'll um we're looking at what our options are and we will have those options to present to the board um in the near future, but more will have to be done and we're Scott and I were over there um looking over the situation and talking with um contractors. So, we will have more information for the borders um within the next few days slashw weeks. Um also the roof um despite all of the weather interruptions
039from the summer, we we're we think we're about two weeks out there literally doing the finishing touches um um around the some metal around the perimeter. So, they're still working away, but it should be completely finished in two weeks. So, we're pleased with that because we certainly have had lots of rain delaying all of the summer work. So, we're grateful to them for that. So, that should be finishing up. Um and then you know we've had a lot of opportunity to be meeting with different stakeholder groups um making connections um to the community making sure that we are starting our engagement processes and talking to different populations of people so that we can understand concerns and and speak to them and be you know responsive to them. So that's taken up a lot of our
040time. It's been a swinging start um a very positive start to the school year. I am grateful to all of our stakeholders and to this administrative staff who has really really worked hard to get it done. So grateful to that. A great start of the school year. Thank you to my team. >> All righty. Um thank you. Um any board reports? >> Okay. All right.
