001It's 6:01. And if you're here for the school board meeting on April 3rd, this Thursday, you're in the right place. Let's see. Pledge to my right. 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. We have Carol Yley is absent. Elmer is uh having an operation. Please your host Tim Jordan Michelle Roberts and Mary. So we have six board members. Michelle, are there is there any public comment? No public comments. So I will move past agenda. Oh, I jumped again. Agenda item two, approval of the agenda. Is there a motion to approve the agenda and present? So Dallas make a motion. Nathan second. Uh is there any discussion or debate? Okay, with that all in favor
002say I. I 6. Okay. Agenda item three. There is no public participation this evening. Uh moving on. Agenda item four, communications. A board reports and communication. I board report. Oh. exciting news. Um, yeah, I'd like to update the board on an opportunity for the North Bend School District and our our broader community. Um, I got a request to call Allan Leiddesma of Eerta back in February and he shared with me that he is interested in building an indoor multiport center uh in North Bend and it would be big enough for indoor soccer. Uh, dimensions he he mentioned since we're 328 by 196 by 37 ft tall. And there's also a potential for an additional education building for academics and trades that would complement the school district. Uh Dennis is working with or excuse me, Allen
003is working with Dennis Betham of DB Western and Dennis would pay for the building and they're looking for a school district to donate land so they could build the building. and specific to North Ben, they're looking at or approximately six acres on Oak Street. Now, they have been working with the Kous Bay School District for some time, and Allan has presented uh their concept to to the Kous Bay board recently again in March, and Allan approached us at North Bend because there hadn't been the progress with Kuz Bay they had hoped for. Now Dennis who's the Dennis Beam who's the angel investor there is approximately 85 years old and there's a window of opportunity for this to happen. So, um, Allan has come by and met with, uh, Vince, Tim, and myself, and, uh, look,
004we can get, we responded, hey, you know, we're interested in hearing more, and you know, a project like this would would benefit the community. And so, Allan and Dennis are at this time working with both school districts, Kuz Bay and Northbend. And essentially the one that comes is able to come to terms with them as something that's acceptable to both parties is the one that that gets the deal. Um, one of the big issues, really the big issue is the ownership agreement and there's considerations for liability and then operating the facility and what it would look like over the lifetime. you know, you enter into a partnership, you always have to you have details on how you enter and you always have to have the details on how you unwind it and um so and
005and they have uh Allan has brought up a lease and a trust uh in course of conversation. So I guess at a high level I I think the vision for both uh for North Bay and Kous Bay is really to to capture this unique opportunity as it has the potential to be a great ad for the community and that's whether it's Kuz Bay or North. So, um the forage plan for us for North Ben is really to uh engage our our attorneys and determine the legalities of ownership if we were to donate land, sell it, lease, whatever that might be, and then come up with some options. And then once we have those options, uh, come back to the board for a consideration if you think of it. Um, so really with with respect to
006the attorneys, we want to go from think to no around all the legal aspects of the land. Vince, is there any thing you'd like to fill in around the gaps there? only that um from the point where we are right now where there's very entry level conversations to the point where anything comes to fruition. Um to say there's a lot of hurdles with me and understand so there's there would be a lot of things to navigate between here and there. This is not by any stretch of the imagination a quick process or quick path because there are a lot of there are the things that we know we're going to have to deal with and there there's things that are going to pop up that we don't even know are going to pop up and
007then we'll have to deal with it when they so there's don't want anyone to have the impression that we're that we are significant ificant percentage of the way down the path. We are really still at conversations and so the only start question I don't know but how does that affect softball fields out there? That's the only place we have to play soft. It it actually wouldn't. It not. It's the It's the property on the other side of that currently just has like a couple where the kids play baseball. Okay. I wonder I mean I've always wondered we always had covered areas for sports either the rain in the middle of the day down there and here it rains for about twothirds of the year and they didn't have covered facilities kind of shocked me really
008nice I know you guys have feet I get it but This would be awesome. A great addition to either school district. Yeah, I'd love for it to be ours, but Okay. Any other comments? Okay. Uh 4B student representatives to the board, high school representatives, Eli Bar and Dwayne Parker. No, help me out here. Who we got? Uh oh, that's who we are. But um our athletic director didn't give us our paper. Oh, this is your chance to just come up and this will be better. I guess you guys have any questions to assist the team. Actually, our spring our spring teams are actually doing really well. Our baseball team just took a win last night 11 to one, I think. And our track teams are doing really good. Bunch of people are pring this meet
009yesterday. It was just us, but we still place good. We have a Roseberg meet that we had to qualify for and we have a upcoming Marshfield Doom duel meet between Marshall Marshfield's track team and our track team. And then we're inviting Pacific. Also, our softball team just won I think 144. They're winning two games last night. There was Yeah, I know. They they won both those games, didn't they? Yeah, they did. Played down in four games. Yeah. And our our girls, a new up andcoming sport for us, the girls flag football team actually plays tonight in Eugene area. It's being streamed at NHS, I think. Is that what it called? Yeah. Men's volleyball. Yeah. For Yeah. Upcoming sport, men's volleyball. There's a game Tuesday and we play Newport and Marshfield at Newport. What are you
010guys doing? Sports are you in? Uh, I'm currently in track for just for spring. I'm in track and boys volleyball. Yeah. Coming up. Um, we have uh prom in May, I think. Mhm. May Yeah. And that week we also have like a game week. Oh, wait. No, we have spear week. And then we have spring flea coming up. And that's where we're just going to host a week of fun games to play during lunch including like a game day where there are going to be giant Jenga, uh tic-tac-toe, um cornhole, and then Tuesday we're going to give the kids chalk and they can make our school more colorful for the day. till it goes away and it rains. That's probably going to happen soon. And then there's more events to come. We're still planning that
011out in our leadership class, but we just we actually recently just updated the lighting system in our gym because it was wasn't to regulation. So, we put brand new lights in there and that's really better. Way way brighter. You look up. Yeah, way brighter. Association North Educational Association report. Hello. Hello. Oops. Um, so with April comes state testing. Yes. So, we're all gearing up for state testing with the exception of me. I finished my state testing in March, the English language proficiency testing. So, we're looking forward to scores. And every day my littles come to me, do we have scores yet? Do we have scores yet? Not till May. Not till late May. In fact, it takes so long. So, um I believe that the state testing that the other teachers are doing, you know,
012the uh Smarter Balance tests, those scores don't even get reported until fall if I'm correct. Yeah. Oh, they're some of them instantaneous. Okay. Wow. Anyhoo, so that's all happening. And of course, all the buildings um scheduled them, you know, slightly different. So, I I I don't exactly know what day everybody's doing those things, but that's happening. And so that adds a lot of I think stress on to teachers but as well as the students. And um but we have good weather and today um at I I know at Hillrest at least and I know it will happen at North Bay as well. Um, but the Wade Lester came to the school to to talk with all the fifth grade students and the band and the high school choir both came to Hillrest and gave a
013presentation and and shared what what an elective is in band and choir and what that looks like. And I know the kids really enjoyed that. And so that kind of helps alleviate some of that stress. And of course, marathon madness is happening in each of the elementary schools as well. So, they can burn off energy and and so forth. Um, anything else I was gonna say about that? Oh, come it'll come to me. Um, Joe, would you put the slides on, please? Yeah. So, I do have um nominations this um month um for the month of April or extra mile nominations. The first one when he shows up here I know. Sorry. Sorry. The first one is our custodian, our daytime custodian at at Hillrest. Um he is um this is Rob Bogart and he
014has been filling in for Roger who has um been on leave. And uh I wanted to recognize Rob for the work that he's doing um at Hillrest, making sure that our building is clean, that you know after uh lunch the the gym gets cleaned, which you know because Hillrest the gym and the um cafeteria are one and the same. You know, he spends a lot of time there to make sure that that turnover is is fast. And he's um gone the extra mile for me a few times. I I ordered a bunch of um books from the Forest Service that like na um non-fiction like journals from the Forest Service and for the first time ever they shipped them to me in in print rather than a PDF. So I had a couple really large
015heavy boxes and he carried them down to my classroom and anyway he he just does a lot of things to help everybody in in the building. So I wanted to recognize him for his work. Um Amy Woodruff and Wendy Davis are both kindergarten educational assistants at Hillrest and they were nominated by Katie Shyman and uh Jeff Buskarude um for going the extra mile at Hillrest. They are um they daily step up to help with challenging behaviors. They tutor students. um they help teach uh the students social skills and they do a lot of extra little tasks that come along with assisting the school's youngest students. So big thank you to Amy and Wendy. Um next I uh have Candace Warren. She's a behavior specialist um from from North Bay. She was nominated by uh Nora
016Collins who shared that Candace uh always remains very cheerful and uh positive despite um some immensely challenging um behaviors with the students that she works with. Um next we have Heather Horning. Heather is uh the sixth grade science teacher at Northbend Middle School and uh she always gives 100% to her students every day. um plans engaging in rigorous lessons, incorporates reading and writing into her science lessons, and is always very supportive of her colleagues, and she was nominated by Sarah Helen. Next, we have Rebecca Boris. Um, Rebecca was uh nominated previously, but uh Sarah wanted to recognize her again because this year she has taken on the state uh testing schedule for the first time. And uh Sarah wanted to, you know, let everybody know that her um she's just got really amazing communication with
017her colleagues and she keeps the school running and um and so everyone's really appreciative of the work she's doing to to help get the state testing all coordinated. There's lots of little pieces there. And then the last one this evening is Kim Black, the Aspire coordinator from Northbend High School. Uh she was nominated by Janet Jana Jensen who said Kim goes above and beyond to inform students about opportunities that give them direction after high school. Uh she's well informed and hardworking, enthusiastic about what she does. She keeps students informed about important scholarship dates providing training for FAFSA and is a valuable resource. So those are our nominations for this this month. Um, we're testing. I guess that might be it this evening, right? Thank you so much. Thank you. Hey, 4D Mid Columbia presentation, Brian
018Sch. Good evening. Start that up. Yeah. Um, I'm Brian Schelberg. I'm the regional vice president for Mid Columbia Bus. Um, I'm I live in West Salem. Uh, but I'm here frequently. Um, and I'm here with um two members of your team here. Uh, Gary Wallace, who's our location manager, and Selinda Lo Bruce, who has come on as a as a dispatcher. Selind is probably the voice that you will hear most of the time when you if you call into the office there. We go ahead and Joe. The other dispatcher router is Sarah Berseron. And Sarah's been with us for a number of years. She comes with a wealth of experience with with routing and and where the buses go. She's one of those individuals that uh if you ask for a certain address or where
019even some of the students go, she can tell you um where they are without knowing specifically the the address. So, she's a wealth of information. We've had a bit of turnover this year in our staff. Um, as you know, Tammy Hikus was with us for for many years and she's chosen some to do some other things and we miss her greatly. Um, and uh, anytime any of us talk to, we try and invite her back to uh, to come and join us again. But, uh, we're happy that she's happy and that's good. The team is is coming together really well and we're we're seeing some great uh, improvements as they um, gel as a staff. So this year, one of the biggest challenges like we face in most transportation departments is staffing. Um we've we've
020successfully um recruited and hired 12 drivers and lost 13. Um so some of those were um of our doing because they just weren't quite the drivers that we were looking for. Um and we um we just certified one yesterday, so there's another one coming on and we've got more in training as we continue to go out to get to get more. And they're leaving for lots of different things. mostly uh it's for family issues as they leave to care for someone. Um some shoes they're commonly it's a semi-retired position and some decide to go with fully into retirement. Um they just don't want to do it anymore. Um but we do a lot of things in in the community. You you should see lots of different events out there, but from banner buses and um
021employee referrals, we have flyers throughout the community. Um the next one, the next big event that we're going to is the uh the Kuz Bay Library job fair on April 25th. Um so come join us. You'll see us at booth there as we try to find those uh those nuggets that we can find to to bring on to to drive bus. Um commonly people have a misconception about driving a bus. They think the kids are too challenging. It's too hard. It's it's a big job. Well, I tell you, I drove bus started driving bus when I was in college and uh and yeah, there's 65 kids on there, but um you know, 62 of them just want to get to school at home, that the other three make it challenging. So, once you once you
022can help manage and and get those three or four, uh the the other 60 are really good kids and you get to have a great relationship with them as they as they come on and off the bus. Uh, and it's a great thrill when you're in the grocery store, in the park or whatever, and they say, you hear from across the park, "Hey, that's my bus driver." Um, so if you know somebody who's looking for something to uh to get them out of the house, give them something to do every day. We would love to have them come and drive for us. So, one of the things that we're working on, and it's been a an increased challenge since the pandemic, um, as we've had is student behavior. Um, and so some of the things
023that are going on are are bigger or more heavy than they used to be. There's a lot of anxieties and different things that people are dealing with. So, we're we're working on doing some extra training for all staff and it starts with with their own behavior, right? To try to work with the drivers and monitors on how they interact so that they don't escalate the situation, but that they can deescalate it and help to react and remember not to participate with the kids. um that goes from helping to set the expectation for the student behavior. It teaches them some interrupting behaviors as to how to interrupt what the students doing without escalating it and to help give them a chance to to create a break or breath without them losing um their feeling of power.
024Um, and then we have some additional bullying and harassment training that we uh that the the team went through just this week to help them identify and and interrupt and put a stop to that behavior. And then most most recently, there's uh we've had more incidents of more more parents um entering or trying to enter the bus, which is it's actually illegal for them to enter the bus without being invited. And certainly uh that invitation would have to come through a pre-planned um situation with the school district. They would have to be vetted just the same as if they were coming into a classroom. Um and so they don't they're not allowed to to get on the bus. But we have to help the drivers to again deescalate that situation. We working uh trying to
025work closely with each of the campus administrators to deal with those situations on a case-by case basis. There's no onesizefits-all when it comes to to to these individuals. And so we want to work with them and find out the best solution. We want to keep as many kids on the bus as we can. They need the bus to get to school. They need to be in school. Um and so we want to find ways that we can can do that and yet allowing them help to all the kids to be safe and for the drivers and monitors to be safe as well. So some of the things the other things that we found is is that that we've got to do a better job. Um, one of the assessments as as Gary and the team
026come along is we got to do a better job of communicating um to the to the campuses, to um administrators, to teachers, to to parents. And so that's one of the things that we're really focused on right now is is to to improve that communication um and to make sure that it's professional, there's a positive interaction with every campus, with every parent, um with anybody that calls in, every part of the community. not always easy because some of the some of the calls we get are um they're misinformed or they're already I rateate and so it can be very challenging for particularly Celinda but Celinda and Sarah and and then Gary gets the the ones that get away from those two. uh Gary is taking as initiative to go out and meet with each of
027the administrators in the at the campus so that um that they can get to know each other, understand what the goals are and work together on helping to meet the needs of the of the kids for each campus. And then we want lots of followup to to deal with any issues, those things that miscues and sometimes they do, right? if you misspeak um we misunderstand and so we want to help to to follow up and then remedy and and work to improve that future communications and that needs to happen daily. It also happens daily with the drivers and monitors that they come in. How are things going? How is student behavior? I've spent the day over there today and had several drivers come in and report about student behavior and what they're doing and how
028they're doing it and and Gary would interact and say, "Okay, how we give them some ideas as to help manage those students?" And then every time it was a okay, have we talked to the parents first? Do the parents know what we're doing? Are they aware of the situation so that they have a chance to to help to to manage that student's behavior? Because largely, most of the time, they don't know what's going on when the kids are on the bus. Speaking as a child on the bus, my parents didn't know what was going on until my bus driver told them. And uh and so most of the time I was grateful for that. Um but uh kids will be still kids and they'll do those things when their parents aren't around. One of the
029things that we found um and we wanted to get some feedback from the community and and working with the administration. Um we sent out a parent survey to ask 10 questions. you many of you probably saw that um 10 questions just to get some feedback from the community as to to their perception and it had everything from some on time about safety and how your kids feel on the bus and if you're even using the bus and and to get some some feedback and it gave an opportunity for some comments on each of those questions so they could elaborate on their on their um opinion. We were pleased to get a number of issues, number of cases where parents called out or identified a driver who who they thought was doing an exceptionally good job
030or was taking excellent care of their kids. So, we'll be recognizing those individuals for that because that's the behavior that we want to to encourage and have uh all the others emulate is to to be that kind of person that the drive the kids can look up to uh and to recognize that they're caring for their for their children. So, some of the areas we found, um, we got some great feedback and that there's some things we can need to continue to improve. Um, some of the communication, some of the the positive and professionalism, we're going to address some of those things. But the other items that we're going to going to take and we'll create some action plans to uh to address those to help us improve, to make those things better. And then
031hopefully in future surveys um we see that um that trend up as we continue to improve and meet the needs of more and more community members. Um we would hope we'll hope that we get a better better response as they get used to seeing that. Um but people are inundated with a lot of survey or email or different different questions. So we just going to take the results that we got that we received and and make the best and learn from those. So one of the things that's coming or some of the things that are coming up um is to ensure that um um we're doing things from a safe perspective. We we are the company is bringing in an independent auditor and we're going to audit audit several of our sites around Western Oregon.
032Um, and that's going to cover some some things on the safety of our vehicles, safety of uh of our employees, our safety program. It's going to audit driver files to make sure that we're documenting things properly and and it's going to just do a comprehensive independent audit to say, "Hey, this is where we think that you can improve." And and we're going to pick um I've got um 11 operations around Western Oregon. They won't do all of them. They'll they'll probably do three or four. and then we'll learn that as a as a company um on how to do things better and more uniform across across the organiz organization. Additionally, every summer we have a um manager workshop that Gary will be attending and we'll have an outside um service or training provider that's going
033to come in and help us to do some customer service training that will then be disseminated down through um to all of our employees is to how do we improve our customer service right to the front line so that uh every parent and and every student can feel that. uh because we feel like that's what this is about is school bus transportation is is absolutely about people. Uh and we need the kids we want the kids to be ready to have a good experience on the bus so that when they get to class that they're ready to learn um and not detracted from that effort. So we want it to be a good experience uh for them to get to school and then to get home safely so that they can tell their parents all
034about the great things that they learned that day in school. So, thank you. That's all I have. If you have any questions, happy to answer any questions you have. Okay. Thank you. superintendent but we have kind of mentioned but now it starts on Monday our staff appreciation week is coming up starting next Monday we will um we will have Every building and the league office and our maintenance building will all have some special care district office being and that kind of stuff for each of the buildings and then the buildings themselves will be doing some of their own celebration along the way. So we're looking for a good week of celebration that will be well in the week we have our staff social right coming up this Thursday. So it'll be that'll be well just
035don't get on the scale away now. Um along with that the u just want to mention it we've had two bargaining sessions and I just want to say what a pleasure it is to sit down with the bargaining unit across the table side by side. We're not sitt across the table from our grounds. We're sitting kind of side by side with each other because we have we have chosen to do this in a collaborative manner and it's been a pleasure to sit down and talk through um in the two sessions that we've had and last night we 7 o' and at 7 o'clock I just tell him we better keep going and had a third monster of the day and this fire starting off some tenatively tas right some things so we're going to meet
036again next week and continue the process but it is um friends here just a reminder this is a month that really doesn't have any holidays but years ago um they talked about having a day in the month uh that we had off of course we buy it back some other But that is April 25th this year. So April 25th the entire district is off everywhere including 12 months 12 months included. So did I throw something in that I completely forgot? Absolutely. So the 25th, no school, but on the night of the 26th, you can come to the um hall of champions for a Peruvian dinner provided by Raphael Koncha and Chef Murphy. Peruvian food and Anna Puncha is going to make desserts and Spanish club is going to be doing the serving, I understand, and
037I'll be helping with silent auction. We're raising money so that we can go to Peru. [Music] But one of those words, no tickets for the meal and um Oh, there's also going to be music, entertainment, live music. So, tickets are $35 and I believe there's only a few tickets left. That's what I heard. Is Raphael singing? I have one of the home every week I join a zoom session with the coalition school administrators. In that session, it gives us an update legislature as right now from the budget standpoint 11.27 budget number and so we will keep you updated with that. So we feel very solid about that. The one thing may change is the potential that if they raise 11% caps to help cover that. You don't want them to raise the cap and not
038actually raise funding with the cap because then it's just a redistribution of what's already. So, but those things like said by Morgan Allen is a marathon. The budget is a final item but obviously we have to build the budget by hand but I think we are very solid about building budget based on 11.27 seven come out of the joint co-chairs as well as governance. Um, and then uh uh you know in in honor of staff every once in a while I get I get to hear um I get to hear funny things or fun things from the classroom because you know married to a title one EA who gets to work with kids who she mentioned was her birthday coming up this month and so the student says well how old are you going to
039she says well I'm going to be you think I'm a poet She told and and and they go, "Wow, you're almost up to 100." So I will also be question. Agenda item five action consent agenda items. Is there a motion to approve the uh action consent agenda? Michelle's got the second. Okay. There's been a motion in the second. Any uh discussion? Okay. All in favor of approving the action consent agenda item say I. Nay. 60. Okay. Okay. Hey, the main particular of course you also uh agenda item six 2025 to 2030 strategic plan adoption Jim Krider action and I did uh do a pulse check with with the board on whether we wanted to uh go through the PowerPoint again and nobody wanted to do that. At least three board members here were very involved
040in in this process. So they have seen it and the rest of us were good. We had a work session two weeks ago where consultant went through it in detail. So I think we're good. So Tim just talks from the four pager and gives us some highlights. Yes. Thank you. Um last so last spring we started the process of engaging with different strategic planning um consultants and um settled on performance fact to help lead us through the the the project this school year. Um we knew that we needed to essentially develop a strategic plan to create a sense of alignment in our district um focused on student success and we wanted to have a plan that was student centered. Um we also felt it was important to involve as many people in the process as
041we possibly could. um which performance fact was um was great at leading that process and guiding us through that. In fact, in the end, we had um over 24 we had 24 planning sessions, over 105 part live participants in those sessions um and over 2,000 voices that contributed to the plan overall. So, in the end, we were able to develop a plan that was really community and staff and studentled, not district administration. Um, and we felt that that was also something that was going to be important to help help um ensure that we we can actually get a plan that can be embraced by all. Um, what we have tonight here is the four-page document of the strategic plan. Um, and as Jim had mentioned, many of you have been heavily involved in this process,
042and we really greatly appreciate you being a part of that and and your voice throughout that that process. Um, we had we had core planning teams, instructional focus teams, family, you know, family engagement sessions. um our our principal teams, our cabinet, um we had um alignment team which was more a community leadership type of team that helped helped contribute to the plan. So really embracing many many voices and perspectives in the process. Um, we had a series of high priority um, concerns, things that we wanted to make sure we addressed. Engaging learning, uh, attendance, closing achievement gaps, overall student achievement was high on our list, math achievement at the secondary level, um, addressing some of the disparities between the two elementary schools, and addressing um, student behavior as well. Um, so those are some of
043our highle needs that that came out of the surveys. In the end, we have the document here that has the starts with the portrait of a graduate. Um, so as students progress through our schools, they'll be working towards the portrait of a graduate. Um, and that will be someone who is an effective communicator, collaborator, uh, life and career navigator, empathetic and responsible community member, confident and adaptive learner, and an analytical and creative thinker. page where we have a series of goals and measures of student progress. So, we broke down um the goals into foundational readiness for success which really focused on social emotional uh literacy and math achievement in grades K 1, 2, and three. We then had goal two, which was a safe, supported, connected, and present goal. also focused on creating an inclusive
044and nurturing environment um nurturing the positive relationships with with peers and um students participation in our schools and actually being present. Goal three was the continuous growth and and academic achievement of our students. Um so we want to make sure our students are continuously showing academic growth and meeting proficiency standards on district and state assessments. Um and we want to make sure uh the fourth goal was that the students are equipped for success beyond graduation. From that we developed a set of signature strategies and these will really be the strategies that we will be using to guide our district leadership and our building in instructional staff um throughout the next five years. and we will be creating that safe, supported, connected and present environment for students. Um, building the trusting relationships, making sure students are
045engaged and and attending school. Um, again, looking for that continuous growth academically, equipping them um for success beyond graduation by by creating um an opportunity for success K through 12. And there are a set of goals there, strategies aligned to those goals. Our next step will be to develop a roadmap for success um with performance fact. So they will meet with our district leadership team, the district cabinet, and we'll sort of outline some of the higher level priorities that we'll engage in in year one, year two type of activities. And then we'll um focus on some of the actual metrics we'll use to measure the success. So part of our our goal as a district um leadership team is to make sure that we are also then transparent through the next five years in our
046success and our progress because we know this is something that we'll have to review and monitor and and adjust as needed um as we're going through this.
