001He will call to order at 6 p.m. for the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the stand. >> Good evening. I'd like to take roll call. >> Open regular meeting. Thank you. >> Did you want me to do roll call? on there. >> Did you want me to do roll call? >> Yeah, Lisa, if you can roll call the regular board first. >> Oh, the regular board. Okay. Um, looks like Patty Drew >> here. >> TJ Heox >> here. >> Jan Song >> here. >> I don't see Ryan or Mike. Is that correct? >> They're both absent. Okay, thanks. >> Okay, with that we are going to move into uh budget meeting at 601. So with that we will roll call by the committee at least if you'd like. >> Patty Drew. >> Oh
002okay. Emily Sira >> here. Sorry. >> Braden Ericson >> present. >> TJ Hox >> here. >> And Jan Smer >> here. >> Great. >> Thank you, Jan. There you go. >> All right. Welcome. Thank you for attending, Brad and Emily. Appreciate your commitment. Thank you. Uh, all right. So, the uh budget committee approval and or changes to consent agenda. Have we had a chance to review the April 21 minutes? >> Okay. Do you have any changes to the minutes or discussion about those? >> No. >> Patty, are you okay with them? >> Yes, I'm okay. >> Great. All right. Um I will take a motion to approve those minutes. I'll make a motion to approve the minutes April 21st, 2026 budget meeting. >> Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you. >> And
003at this point, um, we are seeking a change to the agenda to move public comment up to the next agenda item. So, it becomes number four. I'll make a motion to move public comment to item four and then change accordingly afterwards. >> And then our budget review will become number five. >> Thank you. >> Do I have a second for that motion? >> I'll second. >> Thank you. >> All right. I believe we do have uh Connor Vite is uh signed up for comment. Please join us. >> Yeah, I was told it was two, but then someone just said that on the bottom that she says three minutes. >> I see that it does say three. >> Three. Okay, >> you got three. Make sure that green button's on. >> It is on and working.
004>> Um All right. So, my name is Connor Bite and I'm a high school math teacher and a middle school math teacher here at the school. Um I'm going to try to keep this as brief but as I can. I wanted to open by saying thank you to our board members, to our business manager, our principal, our superintendent and our budget committee members who volunteer their time um and put in a lot of thought and effort into what is undoubtedly a trying time and an uncertain time. And as human, we absolutely respect your efforts and the thought and time that you guys have put into this process. Um, by the same token, as we've kind of watched and listened to this process, there are certainly some things that have made us somewhat uneasy and made
005us a little bit at times upset. Uh, in particular, the thing that I think kind of sparked our union asking me to come speak here today was a comment at the last board meeting about um, with the cost per student numbers being what they are, all of our students should be graduating with PhDs. Um, every single member of our union uh felt incredibly uncomfortable with that comment because we felt that it belittles the effort of our students and it belittles the effort of our staff and we're incredibly proud of the work that our students do and I'm incredibly proud just speaking for myself of the folks that I have on my team and I wanted to speak to on page one of this packet just as who I think we are as a staff and
006we've grown into um over the last number of years. Um these are our 11th grade test scores for the last two years. It's effectively we've relaxed assessment um that students take that's external before they leave our district. Um and it's also the test score that at this point every single member of our teaching team has contributed um to making them what they are. And I know that we're small. Um, but out of the 10 people that took the ELA exam, 70% passed compared to 40% 46% at the state level. Um, for mathematics, 67% passed compared to 21% at the state level. For science, 71% pass compared to 32% at the state level. Beyond that, we have a number of students who actually it's every single senior who is graduating this year with a minimum of
007eight college credits. um there are some that are graduating with as many as 20 or beyond 20. Today we also found out that one of our students um was accepted into the Multa scholarship program, one of 32 kids in Oregon. So we're incredibly proud of our students and we're really proud of the time and effort that we put in um to help them become the best versions of themselves that they can become. So we wanted to highlight that. And then we did also want to highlight um some of the numbers that have been talked about um when we talk about our staffing and our budget. And I'm sorry I'm trying to go as fast as I can. Um the one that seemed like it was used to justify the reduction in force was the $88,000
008student number and it was said that the state average is 13,000. As a union, we did some research on the next page from the Oregon Department of Education. They say that in 2022 2024 the average cost was 18,400. Um the 13,000 number looks to have come from the 2019 2020 school year. We can imagine that in two years that number is actually even higher again than the 18,400. I would imagine it's over 20,000 per student um across other districts in Oregon. Um, if we flip to the next page, we see that the principal expenditures from our district from the Department of Education. I want to highlight that that boxed column for the year 2324, it says that we spent $144,000 per student. Um, which in our review of the budget sheet balance sheet is not
009accurate. um we budgeted $6.5 million in capital expenditures that year and didn't spend a dollar on capital outlays that year which dramatically inflated that cost per pupil. What we've seen in reviewing um actuals for 2425 and then reviewing year-to- date numbers for 2526 is that the same thing is happening. It's less dramatic, but it's about $3 million that are being budgeted for um outside of our operating funds. So, it's usually our grant funds and our capital capital outlays fund. And those funds are not being spent, but OD is using them to calculate our cost per student. And I imagine there's a good reason for those funds being budgeted for in the event that some kind of emergency is happening. Um, so there's no questions there. The big thing is going forward, we'd really like if
010that figure was revised. Um, because if you turn the page without revision, it does look like we spend $88,000 per student. one page further. Um, and that's kind of our year-to- date figures that were presented at the last board meeting. And when you take into account year-to- date amounts and encumbrances, um, again, we're projected to not spend $3.16 million that was budgeted. Um, and that 3.16 is being included in the $88,000 per student figure. If we go one page further, um, this is what that number would be if we accounted for that extra $3 million. It's still very hot, right? But in our mind, there's two main points we kind of wanted to make and in and just kind of going through this. Number one, um what that means is that we would spend if
011we use that $18,400 number, which again I have I believe very strongly is too low. Um we would spend $44,000 more per student than what was originally quoted, which would indicate that we spend $75,000 more per student. as a union, we think that's a big deal because if it's going to be a number that's used to justify reducing our force, um we'd really appreciate it if we made sure uh that it was the actual number. Uh beyond that, we have questions about whether or not it's the most relevant number when we think about how we're reducing our costs because there's no doubt in our minds given the level of uncertainty that that does have to happen. Um, but it seems like from our union's perspective that what has happened is that we throw out that
012cost per student and then we talk about studenttoteer ratios which we would argue are not super relevant given the size of our student body, the size of the building that we operate within. Um, and the fact that we don't have the staffing numbers that we have because we're trying to minimize our studenttoteer ratio. We have them because we have graduation requirements at the high school level because we need teachers to teach elective classes, to offer CTE programs, to offer agriculture programs, and to also try to ensure that our kids are successful on things like the SAT and state tests. We again we completely understand that we are in incredibly new terrain and we understand that this is in extremely scary and we are as scared as you guys and we've tried to be respectful and
013professional um throughout this process and we remain committed to this district and we remain committed to our students and no matter what happens um this year and going into next year and in years beyond we're going to give everything that we have for our students and we're going to try to keep them at the levels that they're at now and we're going to try to push them forward. But we also would appreciate if during these conversations it was also acknowledged um that it's more than just the bottom line. And we'd also appreciate if there were maybe other proposals that were considered beyond just immediately jumping to the teacher model because what we see when we look at Oregon Department of Educational Education Act for expenditure data and PBAM object the PBAM object code structures we
014can estimate that across districts in Oregon between 45% and 55% of the budgeted operating expenses go directly to teachers and their salaries. and associated payroll costs. If we go to the last page of this packet, I promise I'm done after this. Um, for fiscal year 27, we will be projected to spend 31% of our operating fund on teachers and associated payroll costs. this is even a tiny tiny bit inflated because and I I could be wrong that it's inflated but I feel that it's inflated or I I I hypothesize that it's inflated because um there aren't line items for our instructional aids um and my understanding and I could be wrong is that they're tied up within the high school instruction line items and the middle school instruction line items um and beyond. Um, so
015again, I I share this information because it's how we're feeling as a staff. Um, I share this because I respect the decisions that you guys have to make and I respect the struggle that has gone into this process and will continue to go into this process. But as a union, we feel very very strongly um that we're an important part of this building too and that we deserve a voice in this and that there's more than just those two numbers that are thrown around and we would we would greatly appreciate that looking forward. >> Thank you. Very well presented. Appreciate it. >> All right. Well, do I invite any further comment at this point or discussion? Okay. >> All right. So, >> do you have answers to questions? >> Yeah. Is it for Tammy to
016present her answers to the questions that were under shape? Thank you. These questions were the questions that came through. So, first of all, thank you for the questions. I appreciate it a lot. Um, so the first question was, what is the basis for projecting $4.2 million in timber revenue? So, I took um the projected timber revenue um and for the next three years, that number is provided by the Oregon Department of Forestry. I compared it to the past projections versus the actuals that were received and multiplied it by the percentage of revenue that Juel has typically received and then um took the last two quarters we've seen an average of 18%. So I took the 18% and came up with a 4.2 million dollars. >> Is any of this information publicly available to verify >>
017um on the Oregon Department of Forestry website? Yeah. And can would you mind just sending on a link? >> Um I looked for it but I couldn't find it. >> Okay, sure. >> So >> sure. Um what is the contingency budget for receiving lower than projected timber revenues? Uh is there a plan for the district for if the district receives 75% 50% or even 25% of the projected revenue? And so yes um the budget was built with the combined transfers of the 5.2 2 million to allow for lower projected timber revenues if the district does not receive excess local revenue and it is reliant only on the state school fund estimate of approximately $3 million. And again, that's dependent on um ADM, teacher experience, other things. The um above transfer would allow for the budget
018authority to transfer the necessary funds from the investment fund. Um, as for future expenditures, capital projects, departments, and programs within the district would be considered for reductions to get closer to that state school fund level for the 2728 year. And this would only be considered after board work sessions. Um so special education instruction is being cut by a third FTE but then adding in 75 um in administrative FTE. If we had zero admin FTE with almost five instruction FTE, why do we need admin? Now so that's a management decision. Um will the district be able to maintain all IEPs and obligations related? And this is again management discussion but I did want to say for my part on this the total FTE budgeted for sped 2526 was 4.82 the current year to FTE is actually
0193.63 and the current proposed FTE is 2.69. >> That 2.69 includes the admin. >> Yes. >> Yeah. So um so yeah, so I have the current year like what we've been working at and I use that information and then the information provided by the district on the direction they want to go. So that is why there's the 2.69. But we've seen a steady decline in um student enrollment in this bed. But this also gives us the ability to adjust if we need to. But again, this is the budget is just a plan for um you know, the best information we have at the time. It's just a plan and plans can change. So that's kind of why you see the reduction in current year FTE versus what was budgeted the previous year. >> Um and
020when we say this is a managerial decision, what does that mean? >> That would be administration's decision. And do do you have a reason why we're adding a administrator and cutting a bunch of the instructional staff? >> I'm not sure if I want to give that a public information because that starts to delineate a little bit further down into specific employees in the district in some of our programs. >> Okay. And do are there concerns that we're going to be able to meet all IEP requirements or >> No. Uh as you heard our enrollment in that department. >> Okay. But again, we have built in such a place. So therefore, if it does increase uh in in numbers in the next year or so, we are prepared for that. Okay. Completely. >> Cool. >> Confidently.
021>> Yeah. Thank you. >> Um the K12 counselor position drops from 1.2 to 040 FTE. Given the budget messages emphasis on MTSS, SEAL, and behavioral health as priority areas, this seems contradictory. How does it how does point4 FTE of counseling support an expanded behavioral health program? So there's actually um a 1.0 FTE dedicated to the counselor position, but part of it is in fund 251 in the SIA. >> So um and then additional funds are budgeted through purchased services which falls under the object code three. So that's also under fund 251 and fund the general fund 100. Um, next question. Is there a formal reserve floor policy for fund 270? >> I'm not at this time. >> Are is there plans to have one? >> There was a discussion briefly I brought to the board
022last board meeting or the meeting prior about as we go further in the future with the district. There needs to be discussion and something set by the board for that. So, yes. >> Yeah. So, um, candidly, my major concern is that there doesn't seem to be a great contingency plan for if funds come in lower because right now the contingency plan for lower funding is to pull from the investment fund. Um, and in your note, you call out how we can't keep doing that. Um, and so I'm wondering when is it that we're going to stop doing that because it seems >> where is that for >> very imperative and I think the district very easily could get into a pretty bad situation if we don't have a policy in place for when we're going
023to see schooling funds. >> Um, so I would really like to see that that policy um in place or started um for the next year. Absolutely. Um, is the decline in interest payments from fund 270 due to anticipated draw downs or change in interest rate assumptions? Yes, both. And then I listed all of the we have seen a steady decline in the interest rate month after month and April's. I did this before the April's came out and it is also 4.0. Um what is the estimated dollar figure exposure for the mandates related to the Senate bill um 489? Where is that embedded in the budget? Um based on prior year expenditures combined with potential exposure to other unemployment claims, the total budgeted for this was $54,000. >> Okay. >> Is that on there somewhere? Did
024I just miss it? >> It's um under object code two and then it's um it's kind of out throughout the budget. um in instruction and support services. >> I saw like a postemployment something for vibrant and I was like that can't be it. >> No, that's what that is is we have a couple of um retirees from many years ago that had um an agreement with the district to pay their medical bills. And so every year I keep track of that on a spreadsheet. They turn in their medical bills. And so we're just we're almost to the end of that. So that's why there's only the $5,000 in >> Thank you for clarifying. >> Um let's see. Where is the project breakdown for the capital fund budget for building improvement? And there's not a project
025breakdown at this time. This is um just because we want to have the budget authority and the appropriations in case we need to do um some renovations to the water treatment, the um the stadium, the roof, anything like that. That saves us from going out again. And that's why we've had some other capital um expenditures budgeted. um it just gives us the authority to spend that instead of reconvening the budget committee through the year and going through the whole process again. So, >> um I don't love that. I feel like we should have a list and some outline of what those expenditures might be as part of this process so that we can kind of approve and make decisions. Um, I wouldn't be opposed to having to reconvene the budget committee to reestablish those throughout
026the year if needed. Um, but I don't feel comfortable approving $2 million as part of the line items without a legitimate plan as a I think like the single largest line item um on the budget. So, I would like to see a plan or I would 100% be willing to meet throughout the year um as those plans come to fruition and need approval. I say some of them like the water one. I mean that's going to be a challenge because I know the circuit writer program for the month of August and that could yield I mean there's there's no that's a harder one to answer because if we fall in a situation that we aren't aware of or it's immediate I mean we're in a we're in a bind with the loss of water in
027the last three years or so and consistent beyond that. But then you just like get $2 million to decide what to do with um without there being any real plan or oversight. Um so even if there is an outline or an estimate or even if it's we think 30% is going to go to this building maintenance, we think 25% is going to go to having to do stadium improvements or sport program improvements or whatever that is. I would really like to see that. Um the next question were the reductions in of staff made in compliance with the collective bargaining agreement. Again that was a management decision and it's kind of beyond the purview of the budget committee. And what are the potential grievance or layoff related costs? Um unemployment and all legal fees are taken
028into consideration when building the budget. What are um next question. What are the board of education services general fund function 2310 sub area 300 being purchased for 294,000? Those are legal and audit services. >> Okay. Okay. And what are the object operation plant and maintenance services and objects purchased the general fund function 2540 sub area 300600 for 523,919 and $317,772 respectively. The 300 is all of our utilities, water, sewage, electricity, garbage, recycling, all of that. And 600 is our property insurance. SAM and cyber coverage. >> Awesome. Thank you. If you need some cheese, >> thank you, Tam. >> Other clarifications on anything. >> I appreciate you going through that. I read all 82 pages. Okay. So, at this time, um, does the budget committee need additional review of the proposed budget? >> Um, I would
029like to see that an outline of the $2 million outlay before I'm ready to approve. And I believe in the past has that been kind of the number that's been in the budget. >> Yeah. Um I brought it down a little bit this time after because it was like 26 I think last year when we brought it down using the ending fund balance of the $67,000 that were in there. >> I mean I understand what you're saying. I'm hopeful that with because that's been a big push with facility management on on getting this plan going and we have a new facility manager just started today. So hopefully hopefully that'll you know that'll start showing itself pretty quick too. >> Yeah. I don't know if we would have a plan before the >> the budget would
030need to be adopted is the thing. >> We have a month right four weeks till the next one. We'd probably we'd probably want to have a special meeting again within a couple weeks. >> Okay. >> Or I don't know the timeline it would take to get kind of a plan put together. >> We wouldn't want to wait right till the June meeting because we'd be up against the deal. >> Okay. >> I guess the other the other concern I'd have would be is there a number the budget committee is comfortable with with keeping it to a certain dollar figure or they want to see an outline too. I would just be way more comfortable if there was a better plan than just, hey, we think we need $2 million maybe for stuff next year and
031we're not totally sure what it is. Um, that just >> I don't love that. >> Yeah, I totally understand. >> Is that reasonable? Couple weeks maybe. I think we Yes, it'd be good. It would be good if we can set a date now. >> Yeah. And I'm not going to like come back next year and be like this is not to the dollar that you said. I just would like to >> we just don't want to get in the middle of the year where if we can avoid reconvening the budget committee or doing an alternative budget in the middle of the year because we have to submit all that as well. >> We have to publish and so also it would be great if we did not um adjourn this meeting. >> Correct. >> There
032was that if we um >> call for next meeting >> call for the next meeting. recess it because if we do then we have the publication dates deadlines that we have to go forward and um we're running out of time for that. >> Okay. >> And then we do need to have it I would say rather quickly because we do need to have the publication deadlines um for the hearing as well. And those have to be um 5 to 30 days prior to Okay. So, the week of the 25th, I know that's a short week for the holiday, but I have great availability for that. >> I will be out of town. >> I'll be out of town on the 25th. We do could probably do a Wednesday, Thursday. >> So either 27th or 28th.
033>> How's that work for you? >> Works for me as well. >> Okay, Patty, how is 27th or 28th or reconvene? >> Either one of those work fine. >> All right. >> 27th would be >> 27. All right. >> So, it appears we have a consensus on reconvening this meeting to Wednesday, May 27th, >> 6 p.m. 6 p.m. >> here. Thank you. >> Is this something we uh vote on as well? Do I need a motion for this part or >> Okay, >> we can be safe and make one. >> All right. I'd like to entertain a motion to reconvene and on Wednesday the 27th of May at 6 p.m. >> I'll second that motion. >> Thank you, Ren. >> Thank you. >> All in favor? >> Okay. All in favor? Uh Emily? >> I.
034>> And Braden? >> I. >> Patty? >> Yes. >> DJ? Yes. >> And I say I as well. >> All right. So that's not we're not adjourning. We got to read. >> We're noting this. Okay. So we just sit here until then. Is that >> okay? We will move back into our regular meeting 631. Item 3.0 No board approval and changes to our consent agenda. Everybody had time to review our last month's meetings. >> Yes. >> Any changes to the agenda items? >> It was. Yeah. Yeah. We do have an item on 8.5 that's going to be removed. Superintendent evaluation board workshop set date. Um well point of that was to try to set our work. Thank you guys. >> Thank you. >> Set our workshop more probably to February every year so we can
035get that done. I'll take a motion to approve it. Would that change the way.5? I will make a motion to approve adjusting the evaluation board workshop set that date. >> Just remove it. >> Remove it. >> I'll second. >> All right. Thank you, >> Patty. Are you good with that? >> What do you Okay, I'm lost. You're going eight point. Are we on the regular board meeting now? >> Yeah, sorry. We're on the regular uh board meeting and we just removed item 8.5 from the agenda and we're going to take a motion to approve the changes to the consent agenda. >> Okay. So my 8.5 is JA license contract negotiations update. >> That's 8.6. >> That's mine 8.5. >> So I've got the wrong agenda. >> Maybe. Okay. We were going to remove that early
036on. So maybe some of the old agendas got >> you. Okay. >> Well, you have the right agenda. >> Okay. So, we are leaving JA on. So, there should be no Okay. So, I do have the correct agenda. >> Okay. I just want to make sure. So, yes. >> So, I'll make the motion. Well, yeah. I'll make the motion to change some of these agendas that have the superintendent evaluation board workshop set date on there to remove that from the agenda. >> Second. >> I'll second that. >> All in favor? >> Yes. >> I myself. Okay. Item 4.0. versus >> are you asking about point4.0? >> Um, yes. I have one person that gave me a notice to sign up to speak. >> I don't have anything. >> Right there. Three minutes. Hi, my name
037is Terry Dwitz if you don't remember. Um, I wanted to come to speak about the effects of rifts that were approved here. Uh, it's just heartening that the school district has chosen this direction for their student body quality. There are so many things that could be said, but today I'd like to focus on one teacher in particular. Cameron Gore is a new teacher to Jules School District this year. He has been the instructor for my son's sixth grade humanities class. Throughout this school year, I've heard more stories and learned more about what my child is learning in a classroom than I have ever experienced before. Our two daughters have both graduated as saludiatorans of their classes at Joel and were both engaged with school. But I am including all of those years when I make
038that statement. We've had wonderful supportive experiences of Kayla Rous, Terry B, and solid Mark Freeman. I've watched Martha Stevens build gardens and hearts in areas that needed desperate care, and I've appreciated so much of the endurance I have seen from this staff. This focus on Mr. Gore is not to take away from any of those experiences. It just actually devastates me that the kids here are losing Mr. for because I have no doubt in my mind he is going on to that list of teachers my son and others will not forget because of the positive impact he's made. A district like Juel should have held on to him as long as they could. Earlier in the year during parent teacher conferences, I had expressed concern with how my son is doing in another class and
039Mr. Gore was able to show me how work in his room offers the support I'd hoped my son and other kids would have access to, as well as discussing how this support would be built upon next year. During this track season, I had listened to full hour and a half speeches during car rides home about Gore's class. This information comes from my son completely unprompted. I've really appreciated the personal engagement he's created with students, creating an environment where it seems kids are learning to love learning. The students at this school had certainly had their share of turmoil turmoil and turnover. When your rift plans came through, my son was not only devastated about his father losing his job and having his time as a student at Jules School abruptly coming to an end, but a
040lot of sadness to no longer have Mr. wore around for himself or his classmates. To be frank, he had some real thoughts about that choice. I was told tears were shed in that class when they heard Mr. Gore could not return next year. This was Mr. Gore's first year teaching. Look at that hand. It's a disgrace to send him off. I'm not sure what the board thought was going to happen for the students when he chose to agree to the full rift proposal. From a parent perspective, it sounded misinformed, resulting in a misguided vote. It feels careless and harmful to be removing core staff and adding such a load to the skeleton providing. While it's true, Juel simply cannot always offer the athletic opportunities for our students. You have struck a major and devastating blow
041to the academic opportunities these students add to the community you are here to serve. I hope the budget meeting provided input so this board and district would consider different strategies for how they will provide for their student body for the next school year instead of this complete gutting. Over and over this this district batters the trust of its students, its community and its staff. And over and over community members and staff pray for serious course correction while students are subject to the repercussions. I cannot imagine what the future of Jewel school will be, but I hope at some point it's led in a thoughtful student focused way because what on earth is a school district without that? Thank you. >> Thank you, J. Item 5.0 financial report. >> We did receive our third quarter timber
042revenue that will be reflected on next month's meeting minutes. Oh, because that came in um in May. It came in at 1.14. You'll see that reflected our next month's meeting time to go through this. So, do you have any questions? >> No. Oh, actually I did. What is a Prometheian panel? >> What is a Prometheian? >> I saw that expenditure >> interactive TV type. >> Is it what? >> It's like an interactive um TV kind of that you can project. Well, it shows things you can use markers on >> interactive. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Because I just I didn't It was new. >> What we looked You just have like smartboards and stuff. >> Great. Thanks. >> Item 6.0. >> Good evening, members of the board, staff, and community. As we move through the
043final stretch of the school year, our students and staff continue to stay busy with a wide variety of academic opportunities, activities, and events across the district. State testing is currently underway, and I want to thank our teachers and students for the work they put into preparing for and administering assessment successfully. We appreciate the professionalism and flexibility that goes into making the testing process run smoothly. Over the past several weeks, students have participated in a number of enrichment opportunities and special events. Our elementary students have started their swimming program while our fifth and sixth grade students have the opportunity to participate in Starbase. It's like a STEM type learning activity. High school uh students have been involved in scholarship interviews, attending the Oregon Trades Women Career Fair, ensemble performances, track competitions, and preparations for prom and
044graduation season. We also celebrated several important recognition events this month, including our academic awards. These events are always a reminder of the tremendous growth, perseverance, and accomplishments of our students. Thank you to the staff members who have organized and supported those celebrations. I also want to thank our families, PTO, and community partners for their continued support throughout the year. From attending meetings and events to supporting student activities, your particip participation plays an important role in the success of our school. With only a limited number of weeks remaining in the school year, there's still much to accomplish and many opportunities ahead for students to finish the year strong. We appreciate everyone's continued hard work and commitment to making this a positive and successful year for our students. >> Thank you. I had a question regarding Swiss
045data and I don't know if Cory mentioned it to you or trying to we used to get some updates on the Swiss data stuff, you know. and the principal report. Have we had much of that for data being collected this year? >> Um I mean for a lot of the information because I wasn't here last year, >> right? >> Um but I think there's a lot less in there. Um but yeah, I could get that together for you guys next. >> I know I know it's going, you know, it'd be nice next year probably going into the PLC maybe or something. Item seven, new business 7.1, scholarship committee member recommendation. So per for board policy, uh we are having to convene a recommend recommendation list for the board to approve uh for individuals to move
046forward into the u um scholarship committee meetings that we're going to hopefully have here sometime in the next couple days here. So scholarship wise, we have from the PTO Uh let me see here. Sasha right. And then we're supposed to have a uh a board member which we do not have one at the current moment. We've had so far four could not make it so far. So we're still requesting one other board member potentially make that meeting here. Uh we had uh business manager Tammy Suren myself also. And then I feel like I'm missing one more. Oh, a teacher representative I believe Kayla Rous one also. outside of the board member though. That's my recommendation. TJ, I'm excited. as if a board is fine. I mean, assuming we still move forward with it. We cannot
047attract any board members in there. Yeah. >> Just bring us down to four instead of five budget committee members. >> I can ask I can ask Emily. I know Emily did it. What last year? Yeah, I'll I'll try to get an answer solar. >> So, my my recommendation would be to move forward without a budget without a board member. >> Make a motion to >> Okay. Yeah. >> All right. All right, I'll make a motion if there is not a board member available to serve on the um scholarship committee that we continue to proceed with four instead of five members. >> I'll second that. >> All in favor? Patty? >> Yes. >> Tan I. >> I 7.2 board policy update review. So this is a it's a larger round that we've had previously. OSPA just
048sent out another rounds of updated policies in the last few weeks here. So these are just more proposed. Uh if you take a look at we don't have to go through them at all this evening unless you have any questions about them. Uh number of them just time period but this is a bunch of board procedural policies that came out as recommendations. Uh some of them were highly suggested and some of them were uh acquired by the the state. You also see uh let's see here's pest management EBB was also another component that came in equal employment opportunity sexual harassment and then also family leave and sick time items that have also come through through the through all the districts in order to spend some time the family leave has changed uh again and again
049contin continuously and this was a pretty big adjustment to the verbiage that was inside the policy I'll continue to review those. >> Yes, I've started looking at there's a lot. >> Yeah, that's a Yeah, that's a >> hefty one. Thank you. Point. Oh, superintendent report. >> And is Sher Shar report, are you online at all? I'm here. >> Oh, you are there. Okay. Wonderful. Okay. Welcome, by the way. So, um I believe at the last board meeting, I had brought to your attention, the board's attention about Wick, uh potential opportunity. They reached out to us and said that we have a number of families here in the community that travel all over to Seaside and Atoria. um and were wondering if the schoolbased health center run by Columbia County uh would be open to having
050those services provided in their their uh building over here. And so I brought it to the board also because we need to make sure you guys are privy to that component of it. So uh prior to that I also had scheduled a meeting with Columbia Health Services to have discussions around the services that are being provided in this school health center and just giving some updates about where we're at and whether or not if if if we were open to potentially having the community utilize the services over there. I know I brought that to the board at some point last year. We decided that wasn't quite the right time to do so. Uh so the wick conversation came up and thought well this would be an opportunity to potentially bring something forth where we could
051schedule something uh families could schedule something with the center every year as a schedule time so they're not just randomly coming to the district here and so this yielded a conversation with Sherry uh and her team also and so Sherry uh I'm going to ask you if you would mind express a little bit what that might look like the wick inside the schoolbased health center uh but then also further conversations we had around three components uh about flu vision dental And then the wick also, excuse me, that would be the third one if you'd be open to expressing that. >> Sure, I will do my best to hit each of those points. Um, so, uh, with the Wick program, um, in I'll just because I don't represent Clatup County, um, but in Columbia County, we
052experienced an issue, um, and a barrier to people receiving their wick services, um, when they had to come to St. Helens, centralized to St. from Vernonia and Clatskai and other parts of the county. Um because the Wick program nationally requires in-person visits at least quarterly. Um and so um we started traveling um in churches and local places um once a month to each of the different areas to make sure that people could access the service and maintain their enrollment in the WIC program. And we've been doing that now for 15 years probably and it has been very successful um in maintaining enrollment and people accessing the food and breastfeeding support that they need. Um so when uh Corey came to me and asked how we would feel about um Wick using the clinic, what could
053that look like? Um that's a very simple yes from us. Um, if the board is in support of the space being used that way, um, we will arrange hours and accommodations and partnership with Katzip County to make sure that the space is available for families to use. Um, I assume because you've talked about it already, you're pretty familiar with Wick Services >> and the population they serve. Is that accurate? >> I think it'd be good if you wouldn't mind updating a little bit more for those that haven't heard. >> Sure. Yeah. Um so the WICK program WIC stands for women, infants, children. It is for um pregnant people and um breastfeeding moms as well as little ones ages zero to five. They graduate from the Wick program on their fifth birthday. It has a nutrition
054education component, ways and measures um on ongoing basis and then a little bit of uh food support kind of similar to SNAP or food stamps but a little bit different in that um it's developmentalbased and so um based on the age of the child they may qualify for formula and their benefits can only be used for formula during a certain stage of life and then they can only be used for fruits and veggies. and um uh dairy products. Um they also have a some farmers market vouchers that are available um during the summer farmers market season. Um so really it's it's very restrictive on um what it can be used for with a focus on maternal and child health. Um, so the families that would be coming in to the clinic space, um, they'll need
055a weigh- in measure, which the clinic's already equipped for, um, a private space to talk about any feeding concerns. Um, get some additional support with breastfeeding if something's not quite working. Um, then they can get support right there in a private area. Um and it will be uh pregnant women um with oftentimes they bring a partner or a support person with them um and uh parents of zero to 5-year-old. So um another thing about the WIC program is it is really restrictive. Um anyone can't bring a kid. It's got to be the parent on record. There's proof of ID. Um, and so from a security standpoint, it's a pretty um uh pretty rate uh straightforward and regulated program. Um, yeah. So, that that's the the WIC program component. When Corey and I tal spoke before
056about the possibility of people accessing the clinic, um, we talked about a couple of barriers. Um, one is that, um, it doesn't feel in it doesn't feel safe. I mean, schools are really working to make sure anyone can't just walk into the building, um, whether the reason is for clinical services or otherwise. And so, it it doesn't feel appropriate for someone to walk into the clinic using the side door um, and have access to the school then without checking in at the front desk. It also doesn't feel totally appropriate to have someone who's coming for clinical services to come in and announce to the front desk, I'm here for clinical services and then walk through the school that way. Um, and so we've talked about some options, maybe locking the door between the clinic and
057the school, um, and only allowing access through that outside door. Um, so that they then don't have access to the school. Um, and uh, yeah, I think from a security standpoint, that's primarily what we've talked about that way as an as an option to to help make the process smoother. >> Yeah, because that was one of the concerns with the board. We discussed about who's coming in outside with our our kids here in the building, keeping it secure. >> Um, so that was that was one component. And I know we also talked about, you know, the state with the reertification also looking at this center wanting to see more more people coming through in one year. And so that also led to conversations about uh flu shot and envision uh dental Yeah. items. So I
058was sure I'd have you also speak to that. >> Yep. Um so uh the the last piece I didn't mention about the WIC program is that those are appointment based and so the appointments get scheduled in advance. people would only be coming for the wick services if they had an appointment. At least that's the way I've always seen wick function. So that would be something to work out um and would be an appropriate conversation to have with Katup County as well. And then um with with flu clinics, so we have gone to schools to do staff flu clinics um seasonal seasonally. Um we also did that during the COVID era. there's not any really a lot of those kinds of clinics happening now. Um and then um so an idea to see how well the
059clinic is received by the community and to give us an opportunity to kind of gently introduce our services. Um might be to schedule a flu clinic during a certain period of time. um to advertise it, have an online and a call-in registration option, so people could schedule their appointment, you know, Monday between 2 and 4:00 p.m. or um whatever the agreed upon time is. Um if if by appointment was necessary to um not just be have an open open door for walk-ins, we could certainly accommodate that and do that in other clinics as well. We do want to protect it as a school-based health center to ensure that students feel comfortable accessing the clinic whenever it's appropriate and convenient for them because it is first and foremost a school-based health center. And a risk um
060that we're always making sure to account for is that the clinic not be so busy with adults um that then students don't feel like it's their space anymore. It needs to remain first and foremost a schoolbased home. Um I'm going to pause there um was a question I think. Is there still a question? >> Well, I had a question but you answered it with appointments. So I was concerned that they were just people that just show up. But if they have a scheduled appointment to come, that's better. So that was my question and you answered it perfectly. >> Okay. Um and then the for dental envision um uh OHSU night cancer institute and uh KC clinic reached out to us two years ago. Um we've now partnered for two different events that we call a
061mobile day of service. Um and they have a lot of interest in going into more rural areas. We've done it in St. Helens twice. Um but what this was was uh mobile clinics. Um they had eye exams come. They had a mobile mamography um bus. They had a dental bus um and several several other things. I think there were 12 vehicles in total and we used a gym um inside of a church. Um and we served 100 people that also was by appointment. So there was a health fair component where people could come. It was on a Saturday. Um, but we really advertised and people made appointments for the screening and the particular service that they needed, one or all of them. Um, we had I I'm going to lowball it so I don't overexaggerate.
062At least 30 um people get a full eye exam and a pair of glasses um within two weeks that they were able to pick up as a result of that. And that was open communitywide. Um, so when we talk about um what it might what it might look like when we ask what it could look like to serve some community members within a school-based health center, an event like this like flu clinics are an opportunity to gauge what is the need out there in the community um and to then better prepare and plan for what the future could look like. It gets us some data >> and it provides some cool services. >> So, I reviewed I did a walk through with Corey this week on the I wasn't quite familiar with how that was
063set up over there. And I I feel with that door in the school being closed or locked or secured would be I would have no problem with people coming up by appointments only outside maybe there's a you know what I what I mentioned to Corey was students were going to the healthbased center that they would come around the other door and all the entrances would just be from the side door. I think there's some cameras out there. I think we'd have decent coverage of it. I think we'd have, you know, a buzz in option at the door for people to come into the health day center pretty easily. Um, I ran the idea by the office of maybe being able to moni monitor the window as well. Um, not that they would buzz them in,
064but they would be able to at least see if someone's there and intercom to the healthbased center to let them in. So, I felt pretty good about I don't like the door access right into the hallway, but that's that's secure. I feel like there would be no need. I think all the concerns that the board had would be gone. >> It's by appointment. They can have a buzzin situation. The door to the school is locked. Um and then they have like a check-in process similar to the front desk here >> or have you been over there? >> No. And I highly suggest maybe taking a little tour. Okay. >> Yeah, it's pretty I mean it's access to the courtyard. So it's the waiting area. I mean we'd have to I'd like to see it signed
065up well on the outside for you know we talked about parking um designated parking over here to where it's covered and then marked on the >> even the walkway marked well to get over there so there's no confusion to go to the to the main door. And then if students need it, they still come outside and then >> yeah, they would in my in my opinion, they would access through the hallway here and go out the door and it's, you know, 15 20 feet out through the courtyard to the to that door just to keep it completely >> right >> separated out. >> Yeah. >> And that'd be, you know, maybe something we'd have to look at if the student's going in, there's people out there waiting, then we'd have to have we'd have to
066have some sort of control there where they're not going to go out there until that's So he brings them in or something. >> Okay. I'm confused. I'm confused. I thought with the wick coming by appointment only, it would be on days that we would not have school health base available for our students. Is it am I not getting this correct? >> So why would we have why would we have our students and the wick people coming at the same time? It would. Yeah, we would. Yeah, we haven't had that discussion, but the plan would not be the same time as students are here. >> Okay, that's what I thought that that would not be a good idea to have both at the same time. So, I'm not sure why we're worried about kids coming in
067when they're not supposed to be there when the wick kids come in. >> I think I think possibly it's just projecting down in the future like with you know, vaccinations or something if we had a prevaccination day or something. just projecting at some point would this ever find itself uh a point of security concern. >> Okay. Okay. >> Yeah. I don't I think you know unless the clinic was backed up and there was a they couldn't get to certain people or something and they ran into a scheduling time and I'm not sure if the clinic would be able to notify the school in time for a scheduled appointment to cancel or whatever reason. I mean it's two pennies first. So hopefully that wouldn't be the case. >> Yeah, potentially with if there's a vaccination occurring,
068somebody may have an adverse reaction that kind of throw the schedule off, right, >> for a few minutes here or there. >> I think there's ways to work around it. I think from what I've seen about how >> seems pretty easy to access on the side door and keep it pretty secure. I mean, because we are up against if we don't start doing something with this facility and getting more people in there, then that's kind of a >> right, >> you know, to me it's like I think I don't foresee it's going to be a huge influx of people coming in, but I'd like to at least give the opportunity to see if it's going to work. >> So, yeah, I would >> my consensus is Yeah. to get it going. settle vote with >>
069I think it's a great idea. >> All right, Sherry, thank you very much. >> My pleasure. Thank you. >> Item 8.2, summer learning grant. >> So, let's see, April, this is April 28th. Uh, so the district we did apply with the help of North Regional ESD. uh Christian from Stuart from ESD helped us uh put this grant together with support from a number of our staff members and the results came out and let's see Jules School District ranked and they added I think four more schools to the list late last week. So I think there'sund and 147 schools that applied for this grant. It's a three-year grant. So when you apply for it, uh if you if you receive this grant, it's good for this amount and then you get the same amount the next
070year and the same amount the following year. for three years. Uh so jewel ranked 54 in the whole state. Um and we're receiving $44,618 for a summer summer summer learning programming in the school district starting with this school year. Um and so I want to make sure that the district was aware of that. I know Mr. White and I have spoken a couple times uh about getting information started and running out there with the community and with our staff so we just are preparing for what this will look like. Uh I know there is a plan for I think elementary for a Tuesday Wednesday model uh within the district and then for secondary a Tuesday Wednesday model and then every other week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday with a more of an outdoor >> um summer school
071type of posting towards you. So uh but again I'm yielding to Mr. I want to get that moving a little bit more here uh in the next week or so. So you're going to start hearing more about that coming out through the community. But it's a really exciting opportunity for kids. I mean, looking at this and just generalizing, it's not going to be your traditional in my in my viewing of how it looks right now uh in the classroom studying. You're going to be out hands-on experience in nature and we'll be happy to offer in June, which is a lot of uh lot of opportunity outside of the building here. So, it's pretty exciting opportunity for we had anything like that in the past. It's the first time this specific grant has come through. >>
072Does it even tie into career training opportunities? um you know it's they're putting a heavy emphasis with the governors on the uh literacy early literacy I mean that's been the biggest push right now so that continues to be the push through this aspect uh I'm still getting information from all sorts of organizations reaching out providing uh guidance on how we want to use the funding and a lot of that is towards literacy right now >> okay that's good >> and we have I know some of us tied to a meeting tomorrow required for uh state summer learning grant so 12 excuse me 1:30 to 3 o'clock Tomorrow we have to have a meeting state that's required to move forward with this next step. So that >> is in addition to or replacing the summer reading.
073>> This is an addition. So that we're going to incorporate that into it. >> Incorporate >> not replace. Yeah. 8.3 career connected learning workforce development. >> I won't go through all this. This is a lot of information. So, superintendents regionally, I'm not talking just in class county, but regionally uh have been having discussions throughout the last number of months, I'm going to say about four or five months around Oregon's career connected learning framework, uh, which you can find online. And this is just the basic outline of what that looks like. And let's see, Adam Waver and Misty Warton have been working, they're part of the Northwest Regional ESD. They've been working with I believe Martha and George and myself and Sam are the district as a whole uh about potentially moving forward with uh some
074new concepts for workbased uh sites in Clans County, specifically to Clon County, but it is a regional one. So the idea is to branch this out beyond that. um working with us as well uh not directly with ESD is Misty Baitman and Kevin Ley who are also part of the class of works paid internship pro program which we've had students take part in in the district prior and also the um job fair through the CC cooperative work experience and that's been at the well the college this year was at the seaside convention center and so some of the themes that we've come up with and I'll go through these uh are to some of the rural communities and we've talked about opportunities for our students and our kids um to have exposure to more than
075just what we have here in our community. So they can have a more of a vision uh just beyond some of the localized components in our district that we offer. So the themes that they came up with is access and equity gaps uh especially in rural communities. And so the four goal points that we had discussed in the last few months here are students in smaller and rural districts face limited program availability often restricted to a narrow set of pathways. And you're going to see for example fire science which is what we offer uh in manufacturing which is something that's also been uh on boarded on construction. It says geographic isolation and poverty significant limit participation and I've often referenced to the class county superintendents in the schools in alignment on the coast but Juel
076is about 4550 minutes outside. So every option we receive is always a virtual option and that's that's hard to swallow sometimes because our kids do matter as well. uh access is not just about programs. It shapes students' mindset uh mindset and perceived opportunity. And I can say for example uh when somebody experiences something for the first time. I mean that really can open up their eyes and their opportunities to a world that they may not have been exposed to and didn't know was there. And then transportation and proximity remain a major structural barrier for our district. That is uh very very true for rural our rural community. Uh CTE is also being pushed. It's highly effective but incomplete as a currently as it's currently structured. So CT programs are among the strongest drivers of engagement
077and graduation across districts. Uh students are finding success including direct entry into high wage careers. You heard about one of our uh students today scholarships for the MUTA program and that's our second student to receive that. Is that our third? That's her third. Uh so however concerns emerge are emerging that our CT is not consistently preparing students for college pathways. I'm not saying anything about our district but just in general is how we feeling as superintendent. Uh programs may need to evolve to include dual outcomes career plus college readiness which you've also heard our dual credit numbers in the district at the highest I think we've had if ever here. Uh some districts may face reductions in CT offering due to budget pressures increasing urgency for shared solutions. So trying to figure out what happens
078in those constraints for districts. Uh number three out of the four need to evolve from programs to pathways to workforce systems. So strong interest in moving beyond isolated programs toward industry recognized credentials which I'll explain more in one of our options they're going to share with us here. Uh pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships and internships and real world learning. Uh employers should be partners not just for funding but for authentic student experiences and skill development. we really feel they should be a part of what we do within our own in our own um environment here in the school districts and an increasing emphasis on technical skills plus durable soft skills and preparing students for the changing workforce that also includes AI and the impacts that that's having on everyday workforce here and the last one is regionalization
079and resource sharing as a path forward there's a strong interest in regional models to overcome scale limitations so shared programming across districts we have talked about what each district in class county has to offer including Juel and then also beyond just Clatson County what other districts are doing and can we be able to share those across districts shuttle transportation systems it's already working in some areas obviously a big challenge for our district a two-hour commitment no matter what one way and back here and then shared staffing facilities and funding and the recognition that we can't do this district by district and so this is working with ESD it needs to be a unified uh vision this is where we're moving uh rural regions especially in collective solutions to provide those opportunities. Um so ideas that
080are emerging are regional workforce and a CTE center. I was uh pinned to go see the get the title of it but over in Washington state there is a workforce ET center that I didn't have a chance to see. I'll be the superintendent I went uh they're going to reschedule that. So, for those that didn't have a chance to hear, I'll be able to see that uh summer intensive models versus traditional school day constraints and then a virtual plus in-person hybrid approaches, which is often what they say for u rural school districts. And so, the ESD over the next um uh month here actually, and I won't go into this first one because I'd like to be able to present all of these options to the board. Uh but they're presenting the school districts uh
081three case studies for review. And we had one about three weeks ago at PSD and it was a workforce innovation center. And I again I won't go into it more than just some of the bullet points that we we were able to see. We haven't been able to breathe or live this thing at all. It's just an example we're going to discuss more in our next meeting. Um but the workforce innovation center is not like any other K12 example in the entire state of Oregon. This model does not exist. It's being developed by Misty Wharton and Adam Whan. Um it's not C. It falls under workforce development umbrella. Uh no classes or high school credit is offered through this uh uh workforce innovation center and it's for all students regardless of the connection CTE program
082and lives outside the case system. And so basically the concept is with the current programming needs of the community that the center is involved with, somebody could walk out with a credential of some sort uh regardless of whatever is being offered at that time within a short amount of time to get them out in the workforce. So it would be open to um students. It would be run outside again of the district. The district would have an opportunity to provide that support to bring these uh the youth into that world here. And so the districts are going to talk more about this specifically. They just give an overview of it at the last meeting. And then we're supposed to hear more about the classic CTE skill center. And that is a more traditional one that
083you'll see across many states here. And then the hub and spoke if I'm understanding that correctly. They did not talk about that, but I'm thinking that's probably more of a regionalized center where they run systems and there's a maybe a a learning center that does something specific over in this area and one that does something over here and one that does something over here. And where the skill centers, all the all the items and all the machinery and whatnot is all hosted right there. And the the hub and spoke is more specific to this area is what we do over here in this specific area over here. Kind of like a bike wheel. Uh but again I have not they have not given any information about what the hub of spoke is but I did
084want to give you anformational update that u this push with the CT component within our region and I'm talking county to start with but beyond is a big push right now with the superintendents and the north regional ESD about visioning out and Adam Whan and Mr. Wart and I know mentioned both of our Centine uh uh educators here in the district that we're going to be presenting this information to them over the next uh probably month once they've wrapped up with this. I'll send this information over to them and then I think conversations are going to be had amongst districts about what these models are uh and they get feedback from our staff in terms of what that might look like from their vision and then share that with the ESD and they continue to
085build out for the following year to see what this might look like options might be able to come to fruition somewhere down the road here. But the idea is to push this from ideas to action uh sometime the next year. Okay, item 8.4 welding update. This is this is brief, but I wanted to make mention here that um Martha Stevens, our agricultural teacher, did reach out uh and and mention that we had a gentleman, Jerry Frampton, and and correct me if I'm wrong, I believe that's Columbia Steel and Welding Supply, if I'm correct, uh organization, uh is where they're from, I believe, was donating a weld inspector to go through all of our welding equipment. Uh David Law coming out here uh just inspecting our equipment to see the shape and condition. I know we've
086had another gentleman out here also and was here for quite a while I know Mr. George Mr. excuse me, was helping support and through that time in his classroom. And from my understanding after uh a number of hours of visiting the district that this equipment looks to be in pretty good shape overall, uh with the hope, not a promise that our students may have an opportunity to start taking a look at some welding components here maybe in the second half of next year at the earliest to get that get that area of our our CTA room opened up a little bit more. I just want to give an update. That's a very exciting exciting movement forward. Yeah, that's exciting to hear that support for our kids here. >> And item 6.8 J license contract negotiations
087update. Let's share just give you just try to give you updates as we can every board meeting that we're going to be continuing to um move into uh discussions. I believe Wednesday at 1:30 or so. We're going to have continued discussions between JDA and uh the district here. give you an update that that's where we're at. I have nothing more to report at the moment, but that's that's our next job. Don't be afraid. 9.0 audience clarifications. 10.0 board of directors time. Um, I think it's important to reinforce how much I appreciate the feedback, the honesty, the care, and the concern. And I find it really valuable to understand exactly where you're coming from, and the difficulties in losing wonderful teachers. Um, you know, on a human level, I I really get that and I wish
088it was different. It's not anything we did likely at all. And um you I just want you to know that I can't I I just want you to know that our decisions are they have consequences and I am aware of that and the fact that you're all still here committed to the next you know school year and the kids still that means so much. It's why I'm here, too. I appreciate you all coming. Thank you. >> Yeah, I don't know. Um I probably couldn't say that any better, but I do, you know, I do appreciate you guys coming up, Conor, given that um representation from the union. And I do believe that, you know, comments being made regarding, you know, the staffing or the the students with the PhD is, you know, that's not I
089don't think it was meant in that context. I guess it was and I understand how that hurts, you know, it can't be portrayed that way. That was not know and I apologize for the um for that. That shouldn't be that's not what I don't think any of the board members are up here for. We know that the numbers relate to people here at the school and it hurts no matter what we do. Um, we have to we have to figure out a way to get this district in line with something real quick. Um, and it's unfortunately we're not done. And that's that's the hard part because we don't know where we're going to go. Um, hopefully we have by by a miracle something changes maybe um and things might be different next year, but I
090don't it's hard for us to plan that. We have to navigate for uncertain waters and hope and hope for the best. And I, you know, I mean, I feel it. Our kids, my kids, I, you know, I mean, there's a lot of people tied to this community that have been here forever. Um, and it sucks. Just I never thought in a million years being on the board here that we'd be sitting here where we are now. Um, it just it blows me away when I think of back when I I first got on the board of the budget committee that this was never on the horizon that we're in. So, I don't know how else to, you know, word it other than I, you know, I feel it. I see it. I have I feel
091it at home. I see with my kids. Um, my daughter has graduated. My son is still in school. and I want the school to be here for, you know, him or their kids or down the road. So, I do appreciate all the teachers we have. I know that they do above and beyond um care for our students. So, um the one unique thing we have in Juel is we have such a small, you know, you get a relationship with your students. I remember, you know, almost every teacher very vividly impacts they had on me. So, I know that you guys have all done extremely well and it sucks that we're here where we're at, but >> sorry. >> Well, I just want to reiterate the same thing that Jan and you have said. We do
092not take this lightly. This is the worst that we've ever had to do. And I think it hurts us probably more, if not just as much as it hurts you to have to do this. And I agree with TJ. We have never ever been in this situation before. And I don't know how we're going to get out of it until we can get our timber revenues squared away. And the HCP and Habitat, it it's just it's statewide. And it it's just horrible. And I feel the effect. And I just my heart just breaks for every one of us in this community to have to go through this with our school because our school is our community and we we all love our school and we all love our teachers and it's very important that we
093stay together as a whole and try to get through this together. Thanks. >> Thank you guys. >> Are there any items for Patty, do you have anything? >> No, not at this time. >> Okay. So, at this time, we are going to motion to reserve motion to recess to executive session RS92.660 to I to discuss evaluation process of the chief executive. Thank you for coming. We will probably be I don't think it'll be too long if anybody wants to stick around, but we'll we'll pretty much wrap up. So, thank you. >> We will reconvene into regular session 88. We have some discussion with Cory's evaluation. We're going to continue to work on it this week from the rest of the board and get something together for Corey to review. Hopefully in the next couple weeks
094and next month's meeting, we will evaluation. You can choose if it's in public or executive. >> With that, I will take a motion to adjourn. >> Board chair, I'd like to make a motion to adjurnn. Thank you, director Sonner.
