Everybody had a chance to review the agenda. changes. >> Well, I did want to add um 8.5 if we could to just discuss board goals. We're good with that. I'll take a motion to approve the agenda, the consent agenda. >> I motion to approve the consent agenda. >>
002Motion made by Director Dietrich. Do I have a second? >> I'll second it. >> Director Song. All in favor? >> I. All opposed. There is public comment. We do have one public comment tonight. Terry Dwis, you come up or stay there. Either way, it's fine. >> Yeah, I'll stay here. Hello, my name is Terry Dwise and I'm here tonight to share my experience with the property management company the district has hired to oversee district- owned housing. As the board is aware, my family has lived in district housing and we were asked to make space for the upcoming principal and moved and we have been offered a different district owned unit within the core flex. We had a move out agreement with the district and a set move date of September 20th. We spent time working
003with the district to ensure that the unit was ready for that move in date, including my daughter and I going to finish the cleaning the unit ourselves. However, we were not provided a move out agreement or lease by aloom and those were still being drafted well past the move date of September 20th. I want to say um September 29th I was still being told they were still being drafted and I believe we received it the beginning of October. Continued delays caused by incomplete paperwork could push that date back multiple times. But now the property management company has threatened to revoke our opportunity to move into the uni new unit unless we sign lease agreements that continue contain incorrect information including inaccurate dates, financial terms and paperwork that does not reflect the moveout agreement made with
004the district. Despite repeated requests, we have yet to receive a corrected agreement from the loom that reflects that term. The terms that were negotiated with the district. Although we have been told all our communication needs to be with the loom, I'm here tonight to respectfully ask the district to support tenants during a significant transition. We would like communication that is clear and consistent so that our move can be completed in a timely manner as was originally planned and agreed upon by the district. I'd also like to ask the district to review the lease terms and allow for reasonable negotiations such as permitting tenants to use grills more than 10 ft from units and allowing students to practice their school instruments during appropriate hours without violating waste term. Thank you for your time and consideration. >>
005Thank you. I don't really have any feedback. I don't really understand. I guess the clarity of issues working with the new property management company is causing issues. >> We have still not received a lease or a move out agreement that reflects what has been made with the district. So, we have still not been able to move So the district's still we're still putting up the principal in town, >> correct? >> Yep. >> Yeah. >> 5.0 financial report. Anybody have any questions on Anything on that, Tammy? >> No, nothing that's of any any note. just say that the business office were um our audit started a couple of weeks ago and guess they're still working on it. So, >> okay. Well, have fun with that 6.0 uh principal report unless you have something. I was no
006I did not receive I messaged him also inviting him at least here virtual. I didn't receive anything from him. So, um, so I don't I have nothing policies on there. Okay. Well, 7.0 old business policy reviews. You have our second reading on those. I know I went through these with you guys the last time. If you any other questions, uh, let me know. I mean, there's nothing in my opinion, nothing major, nothing shocking here. >> I did read through them and I didn't see anything that was out of the ordinary or anything. So, I think they're fine. >> So, we are good with that. I would take a motion to approve those. >> What would Patty's really >> I have a question though. There's just a couple of minor typos in that in the listing
007of all the various um policies. Um, so I don't mind reading them all and then I can point out the little bloopers as I go if that helps. >> Yeah, that might be >> okay. So, I'll make a motion to accept the uh policy to delete um JFC personal electronic devices on social media. And the next word electronic just has the O and the R reversed in order. It says electronic devices and social media. >> Which one is that again? I'm sorry. >> It's the first policy. Uh or excuse me, the second one. Revise JFCB personal electronic devices. >> It's the third one. >> Sorry, it's the third one. Delete the one that we're deleting. >> Oh, >> it says personal electronic devices. And >> okay. And then uh we'll accept the proposed JFC- request
008for personal electronic devices exception. Uh delete J. >> There's a spelling right there for exception. >> Oh yes, you're right. >> Oh yeah. >> Okay. Thank you. And delete JHCA physical examinations of students. accept the proposed JHCA immuniz and the immunization needs to be resppelled school sports participation concussions and other brain injuries policy >> participation isn't correct >> yes it is okay thank you uh we will accept the JIGBA- education records records of students with disabilities management accept the current JOA directory information slashrevise JOA directory information slashigabj education and then the word records needs to be resppelleds of students with disabilities management uh original IGBHD program exemptions revised IGBHD program exemptions IKF graduation requirements. >> Do we have a second? >> I will second with the corrections. >> All those in favor? >> I All
009those opposed. >> Okay. Good. I new business 8.1 division 22. All right. a division 22. I'll go through this. This is an annual um compliant to the state of Oregon ODE uh reaches out to make sure that the district is in compliant with a whole series of standards. So, I'm not going to go through each and every one of these that's in your packet, but I'll I'll hit and miss a few of them, but if you have any questions, please let me know here. >> All right. So, first one, you guys have these in your board packet. >> Uh so, the first one category is high quality learning experience for all students. Uh the first three like I said I'm going to go through some but not all of them here. Uh dictate through the
010diploma requirements whether that's modified or extended and we are in compliant with that in the district. Uh also attendance certificate of attendance. Do we have a policy and procedure for the district for those? We do as well. Um again I was hit and missed a few things here. Uh career education at CTE careers counselor. We have agricultural program. Um do we have a guidance system put in place for our students beyond uh postsecary here? Um we do same thing is for PE requirements. So they have different minutes for K through six is 150 minutes. Um a week in sixth through 8th grade is 150 minutes. We offer 240 minutes here in the district. Um and let's see what else here. I'm jumping down. Uh instructional materials adoption. So, we just had an adoption last year
011with early childhood literature. Uh, we're doing a health adoption this year. We also have social sciences for middle school high school this year. >> I do have one question >> on the one the assessment for essential skills and diploma requirements. Is that waved for every school district or just us? >> Which which page you on? >> Um, three. >> Three. If it says it's waved, >> that's for all >> that's for every that's for all districts. Yeah, >> because there's a couple of them. I wasn't sure if that was just for us or for everybody. Okay. >> And then I'm still in the blue section on the second page, teacher training related to dyslexia. Um, traditionally we've had one teacher trained this year with the early childhood literacy grant fund that we have. Uh, we
012promoted all of our elementary teachers including uh prek to go through some training. I believe at the moment we have three uh potentially a fourth one getting ready to go. So we're well covered in our district for training in that aspect of it. uh beneath that programs and services for TAG students. We were not compliant I believe last year. I had to look at it was either last year or year probably I think it was last year uh as we built that program. Um and now that we have a special programs director in there which is our preschool promise and our sped director Suzanne Harris uh she's already began work with Heather McBain our elementary tank coordinator and Connor White our high school middle school tank coordinator. Um in fact she's she just came in
013this morning and and found not found but I gave her the document. She's going to be working with these individuals next week to start the process of identifying tag students in our district which has been long time coming. So it's another aspect of us getting in compliance with the state of Oregon. Uh so that's the whole blue section. Again that was the high quality learning experiences for all students. And then the green align and focus educational systems. Um so that's our state assessments. um they're the ones that students can opt out of and I will say um those reports did come out for for all of Cla County in the whole state of Oregon and Juel did quite well. Uh I will say because of our class sizes they did not delineate it down to
014the small classrooms but we did a whole school setting and for English language arts we were the highest in class county. Uh and for math we were even with the rest of the districts we're second if you're counting our our location with the other districts and then science we did incredibly well. uh we were well above everybody in Clansson County at the state level. We were near the top I think about 64%. Uh again it's debatable because this is an optin and opt out type of um of assessment for the district here or for the state. Uh credit options. Yes, we have those all well spent handbooks and board policy. Um and what else is there? I don't want to go through all of them bore everybody here. Um our records and reports. Uh we
015have a great system here for records management and public reporting. Uh oftent times with compliance by the state of uh Oregon's OD or Department of Education, we are held accountable for many reports that we have on online website, excuse me, with our with our district here. Um let's see. Standardization standards are meant to be a standard uh district in state organs. It includes requirements for curriculum and instruction, district policies, human resources, performance, and accountability. We have all those measures in place for the district. Um, another one, special education with children with disabilities. You know that I have put a lot of work in uh this past summer, excuse me, this spring into the summer to get our special education program audited. Um, and if you haven't heard about that, you hear more about that in
016my superintendent goals and whatnot for the year. Uh, but we are transforming our spend department u big time. I mean talking pretty big here in the district and it's going very very well. Um identification of academically talented and intellectually gifted students that in alignment with the tag aspect of it as I mentioned before special programs coordinator Suzanne Harris will do that. >> Um >> so are we are we complying on that? >> We are compliant. Yes on all of these >> oh it's part of continuation of the other one. uh daily class sizes. Uh there's no cap by the state of Oregon. I don't think we're concerned about our our daily sizes other than how small is allowed to be a class of one or two. Is that too small for our district? So, we
017do have those conversations and we had them last year as we're programming for classes. Um let's see. And then personnel administrative rules establish comprehensive requirements for hiring management evaluring staff are qualified, supported, and held professional standards. and those are continuations under your principal making sure uh he's going through those standards right now when he's talking with our our staff here. So compliant for those um I don't know if this is red or orange or B brown uh but engaged partners and communities uh veterans diploma. Yes, we do school and district performance report criteria. So annual reports that track the school's compliance with the state's minimum standards for public education. Um and that's partly what the division 22 standards are. also with some of the reports we have going through OG as well. Um individual student
018assessment recordkeeping and reporting uh districts must assess and record each student's progress in relation to the Oregon academic cont content standards. So that's formative and summitative assessments through our classrooms. It's our grades, it's our um interim assessments that you may see coming out uh such as progress reports for families and whatnot. So those are components we're putting into place. The district maintains comprehensive records in including state uh provided data as well. So we keep all those things on file through synergy program and then also through our human files for our students in the district. Um and then let's see complaint procedures following statemandated educational standards for curriculum instruction and student support to asssure baseline level service for all students and then o OD overseas compliance requires districts to report annually. This is this right here.
019So when I announced that we were not compliant a couple years with a couple items, I was just waiting for OD to get a hold of us and they did and it wasn't to push a thumb on us. It was say how can we help you get compliant? So it's very very amicable work with them. Um okay, purple or whatever the cover of this might be a category safe and exclusive schools uh policies and reporting child abuse. And so I know we put a lot of work in with our onboarding, some changes with our onboarding for new staff, for volunteers, uh through policy changes and updates um as well as our training procedures through the district and that is continuing to be uh and always will be a top priority of the district here. Um
020let's see, safety, school sports, concussions. You just passed one of our policies here that talks about concussions and other brain injuries. That's an example of continuing to stay up on board and and compliant with the state of Oregon here. Um, let's see. Healthy and safe schools plan. So, a plan to mitigate environmental hazards. They have five areas. I'm just going through some of these. Radon testing management, lead in the water testing, which Mr. Hinson does every single morning at our water facility. Uh, lead and paint, integrated pest management, that's on today's board policy or board meeting agenda as well. And carbon monoxide detection. Uh, let's see. Fire earthquake safety threats. That's emergency plans and safety protocols. We had an earthquake drill last week. We had a fire drill also the day before or after. Um,
021and we follow the I love you guys protocol. And so that's all these different things that take place whether it's a small emergency, medium, large emergency or whatnot. We have all those training protocols in here. And then we have a safety team that meets one time a month. Uh we move them from third Thursdays, I think, to the fourth Mondays of the month. So next Monday we have our first Monday um safety team meeting. And we've invited our uh resident deputy here Jacob Cobber and Chief Davis um who has already agreed to attend this meeting as well which is one of the reasons we moved because he could attend that day. We wanted that in um let's see annual report of restraint and seclusion. So that is disciplinary measures reported to OD OD that would
022be the number of incidences the students involved injuries and locations and then if there's any use of seclusion rooms and steps taken to reduce use of seclusion rooms. Those things we have to report on annually to OD. Um I'll do one more here. Auxiliary services, that's our transportation services, uh school food services, custodial services, uh equipment and material in the facility as well. And I know we have OD is coming in to do an evaluation of our transportation department. Um Miss Layman has been working on that pretty hard the last few weeks here and we don't have a schedule yet, but they're going to be coming out here and it happens I think once every five to six years. So, I have not seen one of these come through, but um they'll be coming out
023here to basically audit our transportation department to make sure we're we're following what we're going to be doing. And I'll just jump to the last one. Um committed and supportive staff. Um let's see, I'll jump the second one. Teacher administrative administrator evaluation and support. Um so, it's a four-point scale through the Danielson model that our principal and our staff utilize. Um they work through collaborative go collaborative goals where they meet individually with their principal set those goals together. Um and then he measures them on multiple ways to evaluate them. They talk about how that looks for the district again through the uh Danielson model. And then they go through the evaluation cycle which I have on my wall. I've shared that with him. He now has access to that as well to the Google Drive
024that we have in the district. We have the evaluation cycle already spelled out for the next three to four years for our district already. Um and then they collaboratively develop u um some plans moving forward in terms of what was observed and feedback in their in their after eval meeting here. And the last one, core teaching standards which are adopted by the state board for all teacher evals. They outline what teachers should know and be able to do to support student growth learning. These are front and central to our classrooms and teachers. uh all teachers must know those uh uh teaching standards and that's again happening through our emails and uh check-ins with our principal in the district here. So that's I mean I guess I won't go through all but if you have any
025questions specifically uh this is not a board approved. It is open for public comment also. I know Shelley's online so you can send an email or you can send a hand up as well but um but that is the division 22 for 20 it should say for 20 yeah 2425 going into this year. Well I feel pretty good about being in complant with everything. That's a good thing. We've had a few in the past where we've kind of been okay, we need to few where it's there's no even gray areas. It's just we don't but we don't know. >> Okay. 8.2 superintendent goals. Okay. Let me get my thoughts here. So, this I mean this all really trades a little bit to I mean I know TJ and I talked about putting board training on
026a new business, but also the board goals. I mean this all really falls into one another and I had a conversation with TJ about my goals as a superintendent need to jive a little bit with the board's goals and I worked with you guys enough to have a general consensus but to build those opportunities as an actual unit with the administration and the school board um uh is where I like to move forward as we go on you know throughout the rest of this year and the next year. Uh and so I was talking to TJ asked me about what might some of my goals might be. So, I listed a whole bunch of things to you. I said this is what I'm currently working on. So, I'm going to I'm going to read them
027through and then I kind of outline them a little bit more here. Uh, so goal number one, systemic infrastructure and capacity building for sustainable district growth. Uh, and I put my goal statement by the end of June 2026. Uh, or by June 2026, design, implement, and document key structural improvements that build long-term capacity in critical district operations. And that's focusing on special education. I just mentioned that a moment ago and there's a reason I did a sped audit last spring. Um because I wanted to make sure I knew what I was thinking about uh where we needed to grow in the district and that was an area that I thought there's a lot of work to be done here and we need to do this and I'm not going to wait for the state to
028get them after us on this one. um HR systems if you've been involved uh at all in our central office discussions about HR and our frontline central time and attendance um there's some areas of frustrations and still is currently but we're working through that right now uh and I put down fiscal responsibility also because if we're going to go to the state school fund some point which I hope not but if we do I want to know down almost the exact penny what are we spending on our employees and and I want to know if when they're clock in when they're clocking out and how much time we're building for a budget. We need to know what we're going to be building for a budget specifically if you're going on state of school fund. I
029mean, it's a little guessing game already to some extent, but we need to know pretty accurately what we're asking for. Um, water infrastructure. So, I know I mentioned to you that I've already had conversations a month ago with the water hydrogeeologist, and that is still the very beginning stages, and I'm going to be pushing I'm going to be pushing to find answers and conversations. I've had a couple conversations with some committee members already who have vital access to some water here and they've been I think pretty fruitful conversations. Uh also facilities and maintenance leadership succession in order to ensure sustainable growth, operational resilience and being prepared for the next stage of um growth for our building with somebody coming on board who will own this literally own this campus and this site here. Um and
030so I put down a different piece of paper here. Um so special ed refined and stabilized the program through staffing professional development and improved service delivery models how we deliver information to our stakeholders and that's families and our students and our district as a whole and the state of Oregon. the HR systems working through launching and and supporting I'm trying to smile here a little bit because this has been rough not on our end but it's just a lot to train our staff for frontline time and attendance to improve cost tracking of employee related expenses support future transition to the state school fund model I said a minute ago I said maintenance and operations succession develop and implement a transition plan for the retiring maintenance manager including a job profile hiring timeline and onboarding strategies
031uh for bringing somebody else on board. The last one I had put in was the water infrastructure in collaboration with uh Justin, I forget his last name here, but uh one of our water hydro geologists and stakeholders complete a report and develop an action plan for long-term water security for the district. Now, what I'm trying to say is I'm not going to promise you we're going to have long-term answers from this, but I want to get that process started so we can start going down that road, see what we can do to make sure we've got water. And I can share other times as I go on a little bit more about the measurable how I want at least in my mind how I suggest we measure some of the goals as best we can.
032Obviously you have your own ways of doing that as well but I was throwing some ideas here. Uh goal two is advancing instructional excellence, student opportunity and community engagement. Now you've seen community engagement before as well on a couple of the ones as well. So through collaborative instructional leadership and community centered visioning the district will strengthen district instructional systems. I'm gonna pause for a moment because that does go back into um some of the board goals also in my mind about a concept I'll bring up when you guys start talking about that a little bit uh because it does involve community for sure uh enhance early learning access expand student academic and career opportunities and foster inclusive inform cultural engagement for all stakeholders. So on my other form here, what I put down, so for
033the early learning expansion, so build and align the preschool promise model to strengthen early elementary outcomes in district-wide enrollment pipelines. So working with our sped director, who is actually our preschool promise director on how do we work on marketing our preschool program to the community. So we are funding kids into the district, how do you market the educational components that are taking place in there with the preschool promise program. Uh we've got a really strong teacher in there and we've got a uh uh special programs director who is just as strong as well. And so I feel like we have an avenue there to really invite our uh upcoming population into our preschool promise program. Uh instructional leadership and PD so guy our principal implementing consistent highquality professional development aligned with NPSS practices talked about
034that for two years and grade level team data. And so we're again very early stages. I know uh he's working on grade level team meetings and I asked him uh outside of this meeting I said I want him to explain to everybody what grade level team meetings are the next time he's here and not to be disrespectful I just want to make sure that everyone's understanding all these different educational terminologies that we're using that some of us may not hear on an everyday basis um I want him to explain what those are >> be most of us >> we appreciate that >> just being honest because I when you said grade level team meetings then we moved on no fault you know at all I just not I don't know if everybody knows what that
035is and that's a big component of what we're doing at the current moment uh curriculum and program develop development over oversee updates in the health sex education um curriculum which is in again for the adoption uh last year and wrapping up the high school it's on your agenda as well talked about last month and I'll talk about it again tonight um uh seat support the new CTE program agriculture uh but also our current act our current program as well excuse me construction and with the potential looking at welding something we've been working pretty hard with our stakeholders to get that back up and running dual credit uh continue to work with our staff uh in our building we have I believe fire sciences on board at this moment we have nine dual credit opportunities for
036our district I'll spiel a little bit later in throughout the year about our community college of how I'll be careful I say this I want more from our community college that's community college for our students I'll what that means at another time. Um, our music program, uh, I feel like its footing is coming back a little bit again. I want to make sure continue to support that. And then the last one is support AI exploration, integration in instruction. You saw some AI policies come through uh, the last month or so. And there's going to be more discussion. I have uh, Suzanne Harris in my office today talking about one of the meetings or conferences she went to and talking about how AI might make an impact on special education. And I said, "Please feed feed
037me more information on that one." Um, I'm almost done. I'm sorry. Um, equity engagement. Continue to lead uh the it's district's requirement uh for all districts, excuse me, the state of Oregon's requirement for the equity committee. And I have something here tonight for the community voices panel that I talked to you about about beginning that community voices panel. Uh, which again is equity committee. I've morphed it into a few other things beyond just what the state of Oregon's required. Um and then for OD, let me see, sorry. And then student community voice continue to build through 4, FFA, PTO, and cultural events that take place in the district. And the last one is culture and climate. Promote a culture of feedback. Um if I say Gailen Emanuel, you know what I'm talking about. I referenced
038him last month. We referenced him at the end of the school year. Uh this is a climate culture professional coming to the district to work with us. Um and we talked about culture of feedback psych psychological safety in the building which is very important. Uh staff support strengthening the district's identity is a safe and innovative learning environment. Um and so there's been a lot of work already done on climate and culture and we're still pushing through that uh which a much more definitive u feedback from staff. I think 34 35 roughly staff members in our last survey we just did uh with Gail Emanuel's team and we're building our DNA right now for formulating a team to go through that process to build uh some cultural norms for the district that are going to be
039eventually embedded into our hiring processes and also our evaluation process. I'm talking about how you have each other's backs in the district and you provide feedback could be challenging feedback but one of open communication um not struggles um negative struggles let me rephrase that. Um so these are all these are all currently we're working on. So I've tried to lump them in a number of items here but I I've got my Google Docs already started and I'm starting to flood them into these folders. So, um, so at some point, I don't know when it's appropriate to share them out to you. So, I don't feel like it just floods you with everything at one time, uh, I'm thinking sometime before the holiday break, I open them up and you guys can start perusing through them
040if you'd like to. That's Yeah, those are my couple spots here. >> Um, I need to backtrack on agenda item 8.1, division 22. It says it's an action item. Are we taking action on that? Okay. No, that was just discussion for feedback. >> Those are the goals I put in place for >> sounds good. >> There's a lot in there, but >> yeah, >> good goals. Come on. Yeah, we I mean we can have a little bit of discussion on board goal stuff at the end on that as well, but I think that kind of to me we we had discussion several years ago on board goals with a different superintendent and pretty much different board. So, I think it's something that we need to try to have a focus of what we what we
041envision as a as a district or goals to where if we're not here, then we're still kind of, you know, whoever's in Corey's seat or something still has kind of a an idea what we're looking I mean, it could change, but I mean, it's it'd be nice to have a long-term goal. We talked about even having it kind of, you know, put on the walls, you know, painted on or something to kind of show as you walk in the building, here's what we're here's where we're trying to get to and could be 20, 30, 40, 50 years, 100 years down the road. So, >> anyway, can is I mean, is that part Are you going to still speak about that? >> Yeah, I will when we asked I sent an email to all the board
042about any ideas that they wanted. >> Okay, >> it's been fine. I j down a few. So, >> okay. uh 8.3 OSBA elections and I guess I was confused are both the candidates that we have running are they both for the same position they're separate positions so there's only one perh >> okay so that is an action item so we do need to um if we're all in favor of supporting the two that are running um for the two positions the one is I believe Von right >> yeah he's been on forever forever. Yeah, he was at our training, right? >> Yeah. >> So, um >> and she was too. >> Yeah, she did. >> She was too. >> So, I I don't have any questions. I would be fully supportive of that. Um >>
043if you want to review in a little bit, that's fine. >> I think she was at our training also. >> Yeah. >> Wasn't he he's kind of the chair, isn't he? >> That's what I understand. >> I think he is. I mean, right? >> Honestly, he's been there forever. I mean, I don't remember him ever not being on there. So, >> maybe it's time for him to go. Will you vote him out? >> Yeah. Well, there's nobody to replace him. >> That's true. >> And I guess he does an okay I mean, everything that I've seen, he does an okay job. >> He seemed pretty responsive there. And if you have any questions, reach out. >> I mean, very active. I mean, he's very involved. It's not like he just said there was nothing. He's
044very involved in what's going on at OSBA. >> So if we're good, we will take a motion to support the two candidates. >> I motion that we that we support the two camp. Is that >> what you're looking for? >> Yeah, that's fine. I don't think we have the name. There's only two. similar two separate positions. >> I motion that we move forward with our support of the two candidates for the OSBA by director Dietrich. Do we have a second? >> Yeah, I'll second that. And then TJ, you put in the vote for us basically. Is that how you how it works? >> Yeah. So we So we all Yeah, they're all supportive and then Yeah. >> the one vote for our district. >> Okay. >> Correct. >> Yeah. Says it is. So, Director Ser,
045all in favor? >> I All oppose. Yeah. >> 8.4 board training. That was just kind of an update. I wanted to I know um Patty and Jan had spent all day there >> or most of the day, right? >> It was wonderful. I can't say enough about the board training that Pace gave us >> and I picked up all of their little brochures and I think it's really important that we get a hold of PACE and have them come out and do the training on field trips, especially field trips on tour claims and about um liability >> liability. I mean, it was just I just sat there and shook my head going, "Oh my gosh, >> and about >> more field trips." >> About the field trips and senior field trips. >> I know. >>
046And about seeing your >> They are doom and gloom all the time, right? Because they're the ones that they haven't looked at everything. >> But it's just I mean, and especially about the senior trip, >> anything overnight. Yeah. >> Yeah. Anything overnight. I mean I it was just stuff that we h I have never thought about that comes up obviously routinely for them that we need to start thinking about especially on these seniors. We want no part of that. I mean serious school needs to stay out of the senior trip as far as >> they're going as far as travel after graduation. >> Oh >> I mean >> yeah never after graduation. Ever ever >> see they want it after graduation >> currently? Yeah. That's >> really >> I will not >> but and they
047said and the money that because the school can be get involved with the money and it's a nightmare. I mean anyway it would be real nice to have them come out and sit through this as a training and go through it and say you know this and this and this and if we do this then I mean >> they don't prohibit it but they truly discourage a lot of this because of the liability for this district. And then the one on sexual predators. Oh my goodness, that was and superintendent for Clask and I was there and they had them come out and do it with the classified and the certified. And because of that training, they got two sexual predators out of their district. And it was because of the bus drivers, >> making them
048aware, having them aware of the signs that go along with this that they were not aware of. And after they had this training, they they did it. I mean, they got two sexual predators out of their district. >> So, I think that's well worth it just right there. >> We has a inerson training coming in in November and they're doing we're doing two sessions. So um anybody who can't be here after the after school will be here >> in the morning. So the bus drivers so everybody will be here. >> Mackenzie, >> that was that from Ace. >> It was they were so good. I mean I was very >> I mean some of those seminars are just horrible. You just sit. This was very >> Was it Mackenzie Nicks? >> Yeah. >> That's who
049we're getting. >> Yes. But I was I mean I was just the pace programs that we went to they were just outstanding all of them that they they did. >> So yeah, we can reach out and try to see if we can maybe I know some of the timing, >> you know, they're most of their classes were less than an hour per Yeah. unit, right? So maybe we can look at at night we can do >> something like a ver a board workshop prior to a meeting. >> Sure. And I was thinking that when you guys do your Wednesday um >> PD, maybe try to schedule one of these every quarter or something so that everybody gets a chance to see these trainings for just just be aware of the information that was there. We
050could even try to do it, you know, for convenience, maybe try to do the board workshop on a Wednesday >> if we can. We can get whoever we can get to show up to do it and then that way they're here for >> afterwards >> because they're I mean it's very very worthwhile and it I mean it just really opened your eyes >> very much so you have anything else. You thought >> No, I'd end up repeating her. Yeah, >> same. >> Brian and I did the end of it, all the ethics and the board training and stuff. So, um was more more just the requirement portion of it, but >> which I thought they did a good job. >> I mean, there was so much coming out of the legislature. It was impossible for
051>> to remember all of it and oh my god, who did this and why? I mean, it was some of this stuff is just ridiculous, but it's there. We have to abide by it. So it was just >> and the I think the value of that training was that they they encapsulated into bullet points and made it easy to get it out to us within the time allotted. It's worthwhile. >> Yeah. >> I mean I moan and complain about going to those but this one was very worthwhile. >> Mainly because I was dark out. I mean that was the worst part. [Music] Okay. So 8.5 board goals discussion again and um and and I jotted down some of the stuff that I recalled from last time when we and I think I maybe added a
052little bit more to it, but I think the biggest takeaway that we were that we discussed was basically how to try trying to keep our kids and our teaching staff engaged in the school was was a big was a big thing I recalled. um you know trying to do trying to focus on personaliz personalized learning with small groups with our size and our staff. We I think we do a pretty good job a lot of that anyway. Um community partnerships which you know some of that's kind of working with some of the goals we already have there too. Um local businesses, hands-on skills trades, timber a work and nonprofits. So we're kind of hitting all that as well again. trying to boost extracurricular flexible clubs or outdoor programs for social growth for our students to
053try to get out of the bubble here in Juel I think is huge. Try and I think Jules's always done a pretty good job with trying to get them out of there. >> Um till after Patty's field trip training. Now we can't go anywhere. But >> so so they can watch it on Zoom. >> Now they're stuck in the B. >> Ain't going anywhere now. But anyway, hopefully we can figure out, you know, the two tough stuff going uh teacher retention, you know, and offer the training, which we've always done here, building in house when when we can. That was a big one on the deal. Mental health, early intervention programs, um community facilities programs to help with community partnerships. There's some USDA grants out there and stuff like that which I think um >>
054I think Martha's tapped into some of that, right? So that's that was some of the stuff that I recall, but every time I was as I was writing this, it was like, oh, we've already we're already kind of doing a lot of this stuff. So, >> and I and I think and having a bigger vision as far as sustainability here is huge, right? We have funding issues, but you know, that's it's always going to be funding issues. Right now we're in the we're in the bowels of it. But I mean I think we're we're going to be fighting that even when we're even when we're not suing the government. >> Well, I think also enrollment we've got tried to do something >> which enrollment is picking back up again. >> What are we at now?
055>> Uh 119 which is about four or five more than last year. So I mean it's a small uptick but it's like 30%. But but as TJ's mentioned also and I had discussion with Sam and I think you're in the room also I discussed as well uh that the district and it's been a while I know it's been a while a strategic plan for the district uh and there's organizations out there and so I've been looking at different organizations out there that come in and grab community input staff input student input and literally is building the vision of the district uh for the next four or five years. Um and that is something that we need to have in front of OD when we adjust and we change those things and with the turnover you've
056had in the district prior to myself in the administration field uh there has been no there's been nothing as you mentioned if I'm not in the chair board's not in the chair what is that vision I can tell you my my wife school district over in a story just completed their strategic plan and it's all laid out it's mapped out it's ready to go for the next four to five years or so and so if Mr. office ready to get up and leave or the principles or whatever. There it is. It's ready to go. And that's the vision of the community at large. Um, so I already I looked up I believe it's point north. I think it was one that did the one for histori school district. So I' I've got the on one
057of my 50 tabs on one of my my windows here. Um, looking at that. I know there's a couple other also strategic plan organizers or event helpers as you might call it. Um, I don't know the cost. We get Tammy for that one because I don't know if that's something we could put in or budget and get that going at some point. But um or if we use one of our grants, one of our federal grants to get that going, but um that would be something I definitely would say the board would be heavily involved with um with the rest of the committee as well. So just throwing that out there that I'm looking at that. >> Did you guys have anything else as far as grand visions? >> Make it so we're here. I
058mean, we we can't let go. We've got to make strides all the time, too. >> But we've got to make sure our building is taken care of, too. You know, got to have Brian said, >> got to have water. >> We got to fix all that. Got to make sure our building stays secure. >> And we hire good teachers to keep our kids. >> Yep. >> I guess. Yeah. Everything that we've discussed, right, is in my mind all second place to infrastructure goals, right? We have to have infrastructure in place so that everything else follows that, right? You have to have a roof over your head. You have to have water, right? Everything else behind that, and this is my opinion only, comes second place to that. Um, without the basics, right? Well, we have
059to have a safe building, safe place for these kids to come. >> Yeah, we're like you said said TJ, you're always going to have funding issues, right? You're always going to have staffing issues. >> You're always going to have upticks or declines in in student staff population, what have you, right? But that is all that's just the the way it works, right? >> Yeah. They don't have a building. They're not >> none of it's worth fighting for. or the maintenance plan for okay we have a great building now but that's right we need to plan for >> you know whatever part needs to be replaced next if it's 30 years 40 years down the road we need to have a a plan but also as I mentioned before planning for if we do to go
060to state school fund making sure you know you mentioned before generators or whatever making sure that there's a a vision moving forward about when is this going to get replaced what's the time frame for the lifespan of this thing and so forth so we can make some adjustments prepare for >> yeah So that's where my heart lies when um when talking about goals for the school components in the district within. >> Okay. So we can we can reach out to also to maybe have some training on that if we want to try to really focus on us. I think the strategic plan would be great to have that kind of going because that's going to be hopefully we can get community buy in and get you know or at least involvement. Um maybe with the
061community outreach program stuff going on that that'll be that'll be good because we in the past we we don't necessarily always have the greatest response from the community when we ask them for something. >> All we got to do is have a football game. >> Well, I mean I mean I do agree. I mean the you know the games have been good and the turnouts if you had a little booth and try to try to corner people as they came in that might be the great way to do it because otherwise >> I mean I I was shocked and amazed at how many people showed up for those football games. >> I mean it was it was wonderful. I mean support >> keep it here right now. >> Yeah. >> Well, Lee wasn't there last
062time so I had to do the chains. I saw >> although I got a good view of the games. >> Yeah. I like doing the chains. No, no one's interrupting yet this 9.0 report be relatively quick. So, the community voices panel update. Uh, so this letter is going to be going out to um individuals here throughout this week here. Uh so basically I just said this panel is being established to serve as a diverse community-based advisory group to the superintendent with its core responsibilities including uh the four things advising the district on matters of student outcomes inclusive practices and equity as guided by Senate Bill 732 reviewing and providing feedback on district policies for example we've had discussions before that as I send this information off to them and you guys uh they provide some
063feedback that I can share with the board as well um and then identifying what's working well what might need to be changed adjusted improve to better serve our students and then supporting a positive student- centered cultural culture and district and climate through ongoing dialogue and collaboration. So that kind of fits all components. I know Mr. White had talked about a different acronym that he used when he was in Alaska and it's the same context of taking these ideas and building them to one unit instead of just visualizing the district policies and procedures. We're going to throw a whole bunch of them in here. So I will be sending this out letters all done if you're completed. um looking for about a team of five to seven. I only have three interested to be on on
064this committee already and they'll meet monthly and um whether they have representative or not it's not required that could come to the board meetings and discuss they are at least required to come to my office the representative have discussions about what goes through their meetings. any >> we talked about that a while ago with having somebody do report to the board a little bit and the state made an adjustment that it no longer had to be a requirement for uh school districts of a certain size and we we definitely need that for them to report to the board now superintendent keep going ahead so um panic alarm system update um together with this. I asked Abby to go ahead and reach out to a couple organizations. One of them she reached out reached out to
065was the Raptor Technologies and Verata uh which is our current alarm systems and security camera system. She has a meeting with them is either today or sometime this week. I don't know. I just knew it was this week um to talk about what it would look like for them. That system would be much more frugal with the costs. uh we're talking just two or three uh wireless buttons that will be located in the building. I we don't have any plans yet exactly where those will be located, but uh but she's going to have a communication with them to find out what that process looks like and how much it costs. On the other spectrum, um she went uh provided me some quotes and discussions and she had about an hourlong training at the Raptor Technologies.
066Um, and let's see. Uh, she said that I'm sure I don't want to read all this to you. Um, so based off of Alyssa's law requirements in Oregon, Oregon did pass this to have discussions at the board level for these type of uh alarms to go through. We don't have to do this. Uh, but is highly recommended that uh districts in Oregon pass these through. We do have, I think, a $2,000 grant to utilize. It's just not going to cost 2,000. It's gonna be a lot of money to get these through. So, um, so Raptor provides multiple alerting methods to enable staff to silently and more expediently, uh, call for help during emergencies. So, it enables users to initiate an alert via a wearable badge. So, every staff member would put it in a pocket
067or something. Uh, but it would be a badge that every staff member would be wearing. Um, the Raptor Alert mobile panic app. So, there' be an app also that they'd have on their phones. can initiate on their phones or any web enabled device including cellular Wi-Fi and hardwired connections throughout the entire campus. Basically, you would have an alarm button. Basically, if there's a person in the building, you'll have an alarm in that spot no matter what in the building. Uh it would integrate with existing digital security systems, maps, and peripherals through the Raptor Connect birectional integration platform. In other words, they have a whole system that they would come in and they would go through a process to implement it within our system that we currently have running for the district. I don't know all
068the ins and outs of it, but according to Abby, they would come in. That's implement big implementation fee for the district. And then it's compatible with all standard public safety answering points and emergency calling infrastructure. So, it's our fire, it's our police, it's our I love you guys program that we have in the district that we follow those protocols. Um the cost um so this is a onetime fee is $4,100 and that includes allows for the configuration of external systems so connecting to their system uh emergency management implementation um basic training badge alert implementation and then badge alert training for all staff and then also the shipping costs. So that's 40 $4,100 uh recurring costs. So this would be annual cost that you have for the district. So there's an emergency management which includes the
069raptor alert, the link, the drill manager, accountability and reunification uh aspect of their plans that they build and it also has the raptor badge alert. So that's emergency management suite. So I I believe that's the whole infrastructure of how the system works. Abby can log into that along with I'm sure administrator too. Uh I don't know what the gateways means but it's the locator beacons, badges and wireless backup plans. That is $7,200 annually. Uh so just to get off the ground with discounts, it was $11,500 to get going. Uh we're just a few hundred dollar. So I have 10 grand to get this off the ground. >> And we're getting $2,000 grant. >> Correct. We did not budget for it this year. I'm just being honest with you. Uh this would be, as Abby said,
070this would be the Cadillac model. This would be this would be if you want full security for the district. uh in today's world, should something happen, this is what you would get. Um and so I'm still waiting to hear from um for what that's going to be. I don't at all think it's going to cost 10 grand to get that. We already have the system embedded in the district already already running their systems. Um I'm assuming it's just a matter of the cost of training and getting these alarm buttons, whatever they look like, put in the district. So, so I don't know if you have any feedback to provide, but that's that's what I have at least for the extreme and I can't imagine we'll be >> I guess my concern would be is how
071robust they are for with our environment out here with power outages and internet outages and all that type of stuff. Are they how are they backboneed? >> Yep. >> To keep, you know, to keep working. So, >> well, and then concern that I have is say something happens, how long before law enforcement can get out here? That's going to be >> that's going to be >> 40 minutes probably average time. I I think I think for this because I remember it was through Alyssa's law or not, but there was a moment where uh the school shooting and somebody one of the teachers or multiple teachers pressed a button and everybody alarms went off or however those things work and they're able to look on their mobile devices, find out where that button was pressed so
072they knew they had time and time is obviously very key for people to exit and move away and so I don't know I mean same thing I'm thinking as you but in an instance if it were to be that level of extreme that part I don't matters as much as giving people notice to get out and go in another direction. >> So, every staff member essentially would have to have the alert and then that alert would alert them. >> Correct. >> Audible. >> It would all go down. They all they all go off versus the system. I'm anticipating that we would have a district, don't quote me, but I'm just assuming it would give some sort of alert through at least the system here. Somebody probably have to get on the call. Maybe it's integrated
073in the system. I don't know where the alarms go off automatically. I don't know that answer, but >> usually if the alarm went off on a normal any given day, it would be lock down mode, right? Wouldn't be wouldn't be going anywhere. It just be closing down where >> if the perpetrator is already in the building, you're locked down. >> You would know where they're at in the building either. >> Yeah. You wouldn't want to just run down the hall because True, >> right? No, I agree. He's locked in. >> You're you're half one, half the other at that point. I >> mean, it's something to look into, but it's going to be very involved in trying to get everything >> in order. So, training and protocol developed for that. >> So, I'll provide my
074input with the other I mean, I'm making a decision whether we do this yet or not. I will make a recommendation. >> Well, I don't think we're immune to any of this just because we're out here. >> Yeah. >> It could happen to us and just like it can happen in J. We had a conversation the other day when they're on generator power here. It doesn't run the office. So, so the office is very limited on what you have. So, you know, that sparked a whole another rabbit hole for me. But >> yeah, >> um we need to figure out how to have, you know, and then when the internet's down, if we have a Starling backup at least so the office has a way to get out and cellular through Star. >> Blue works
075real good. >> What's that? >> Blueetti works real good. >> Does it? >> I've got one. I love it. for when we have small power outages. >> Is it like a satellite or >> I just hook I just hook Elon up to it and >> Elon. >> You have Elon in your house? >> I do. I do. I just plug him in. I mean, because I have a little battery backup and I've got 15 minutes to plug Elon into either the big generator or the little one, >> right? >> And if I I can plug Elon, I can plug the TV, I can plug the coffee pot, I've got and it'll run all day. And he it's just a little box it sits in and when when it's dead power comes back on I just
076plug him in and charge him back up. >> Can Oh, you don't have you don't have like that. >> Yeah, we have some similar stuff. >> But I mean if we have a big outage fire up the big generators, but for just something that's in the afternoon and it's no big deal. >> Power to keep you on. We just need to have some sort of way of >> Yeah. >> Central service needs to be to be able to get out or something, right? We got to get messages. I mean, you could put it in the office and just stuff. >> Our our current generator only basically runs >> it just runs the emergency >> water and lighting and the pumps. Doesn't run the HVAC. >> So, I don't know. There's a lot there's a lot
077to look at when we get to that point of, you know, that's something needs to be on the radar at some point, you know, in the next few years to >> see what we need to add or point. I don't >> I don't think we're going to wait years. I had that conversation with Miss Hines, our tech person here. Um yeah, I know startling that's something I'd like to get the district moved to eventually. We just don't have the bandwidth to provide us. But uh I'm intrigued with what you just said also because when the power goes out and I I think about that also with this system as well. Uh but the central office can't function. >> We literally can't function. >> So what's an intermediate or interim process to get that to get
078something more powerful? >> Yeah. I mean Starlakes bandwidth I can see that being the issue for everything. not enough, but it's enough to keep the office running and essential >> communications going if we got to get if we got to get out. >> So anyway, lots of options there, I guess. The panic alarm thing, I think hopefully we get a better number and some better options. >> I'd like Okay, any more discussion? 9.3 high school sex curriculum update. So, I'm just going to read what I put down here. The district has completed the curriculum preview application for application for human kinetics live well comprehensive high school health curriculum and are awaiting final approval of application which ironically guess we came in late afternoon. There it is right there. Um I haven't even had a chance
079to go through it. Um once this has been approved, which I gone through enough to know that it has, um the district will receive access to both online versions of the teaching planning books as well as student books. And so there's hard you know, hardbook copies that we can get in uh and then I have to go through a process to get access online. Uh these items will not encompass the entire curriculum curriculum. Uh the sex ed components are not in the hard copies. Uh they'll only be on the online copies. I don't know why that is. Like I said, I haven't gone through all this. I just briefly took a look at it before I walked down here. Um but they'll provide a sample of the scope and sequence of the whole curriculum for
080the health curriculum for the high school. Currently, it's the only high school health curriculum that is fully approved by the state of Oregon in all of the following categories. So, alignment to health education, strength-based approach, health literacy and analysis, comprehensive sexuality education, and violence abuse prevention, engagement, motivation, culture responsive instructional support. It's got its lowest markings for supports for teachers because the embedded links, there are no embedded links in the teachers manuals. And so they they want opportunities for teachers to be able to go beyond just what the the books and online components have and they don't have that. Uh it has great remarks for supports for students, digital design elements, formative assessment, performance assessments, integrated assessments and all legal requirements and needs. It is the only one for high school. Um so once the
081district has been provided access, which again looks like we have I can officially have them delivered and then online. I believe I can get that access this week. uh we will notify the school board and community and provide for process for viewing the materials as well as a space to provide comments and suggestions. So I just want to give you that update. Okay, any discussion 9.4 House Bill 2684 integrated pest management plan. And so this should have been in your packet. I don't want to go through all this, but this is basically what guides our head of maintenance. Um, and I'll be up with you. There's a lot of components going on in the district. This is one that I need to jump in a little bit more. I had to make sure that all
082these are being done to uh fruition. Um, I mean, I'm talking every single aspect of this one. So, this is now freshly on my on my uh desk going through this and I've had conversations with our head of maintenance, but as we transition into a new individual, obviously this will be another main point of conversation with them. So, um, I need to present it to you guys. Um um it's not an act item. I just need to make sure I present it to you. Presented. Thank you. 9.5 grants integrated program. Okay. Final one. Um so this might be I don't know. It's not going to impact our district as much as it will for sure other districts that re rely upon the state school fund. So based on a financial forecast showing potential state budget
083shortfall for this school year uh midy year, that's a scary thing to hear. Uh the Oregon Department of Education OD was directed u to prepare for a possible midyear 5% reduction to the state school fund. Also the student investment accounts that does hit us and high school success that also hits us. And those are oftentimes programs in many districts that fund positions. So you know what I'm saying right there when I say reducing those costs. Uh some districts are already putting plans in place to reduce staff mid year. Um so this directive came from Governor Cotch, but the cuts have not been yet finalized. So this has not been 100% moved forward yet. Uh this is all due to a less than positive state and federal revenue forecast I think are where it's going at
084the federal level for a number of things. uh the corporate activity tax which is known as CAT uh which funds the student success act saw a $44 million drop in its summer revenue forecast. So that news came out a couple months ago. Governor Cotch put this motion forward I believe just a few weeks ago. It was a big topic amongst all the superintendents. At the federal level the US government announced it was withholding federal education grants from some states but that has not had an impact currently on our district. Um, another part of the issue is that school districts are facing rising costs from inflation, growing student needs, especially in the field of special education. I cannot claim how much that 11% cap that all the districts have to or that districts receive is not
085enough. It is just not enough. Um, we have our consortium obviously we follow for a lot of supports over on the coast but also here in the district. Um, and our costs continue to rise I believe and they continue to rise because the need is there. uh but nothing else is following suit with our state or fally to help assist as much as we would like. Um also higher operating expenses. So state school fund is not keeping pace with these costs. Again, we currently aren't on there, but we need to be aware of this in case we are going to be jumping into that boat soon. For most schools, state funding is tied to student numbers, which results in obviously less revenue because the more kids you have um at the business standpoint, that's money
086for the district. Um as for impacts affected that are affecting funds our district utilizes both student investment account that's SIA and high school success HSS. So the SIA provides grants to districts to improve student outcomes. I've written our district's SIA uh vision since uh principal Wood and Superintendent Phillips Reer. I've been doing it ever since I haven't stopped doing it for the district. And it specifically targets historically underserved students and focuses on student health, safety, and academic success. Then high school success, also once known as measure 98, if you are used to that terminology from years ago, provides grants to increase graduation rates through career uh technical education, which we've been working quite strongly with and making even more connections through superintendent meetings. You're going to hear more throughout the year and college level opportunities
087and dropout prevention strategies. So for many districts, SSF, SIA, and high school success. So the two grants plus state school fund are utilized to fund staffing for programs and the 5% reduction could lead to signific significant cuts state staff layoffs in the reduction to school days to help address the budget shortfalls for the Jules school district. I put here we will be okay we'll be all right as we do have some positions partially funded out of both SIA and high school success and we have enough in reserves although I don't want to spend reserves but we would have enough in there support any revenue loss with these two grants because we didn't fund fully out of all you know all these grants our staffing kind of like co times uh I find it difficult why
088people would be funding positions out of co funds knowing those are going to expire and they did and now all of a sudden many districts are oh no um I'm not sure what we were thinking. Um, again, at this time, the 5% cuts have not been approved, but many districts are preparing for this major budget shortfall. I'll keep you apprised as I hear more. So, I don't know how much we're going to lose out of our U SIA and high school success. Um, student investment account, Cammy, I'm just throwing this out of my head. 218,000, I think, is what we have >> out of the what? SIA. Yes. >> And high school success. So, we about 60 64. uh closer down to 58 54. >> So we got a reduction from last year. Okay. Okay.
089So I don't know how much that's going to impact our district but uh we do fund staffing out of both of those just so you're aware. Um and then also student opportunities as somebody mentioned getting our kids out there. TJ mentioned get out there. >> Well, not too far anymore. >> So a lot of our SA funds do refuge maybe. >> So that's the report there. >> Okay. Well, >> yeah, I didn't end on a high note. I'm sorry. >> I guess Yeah, thanks for that horrible report. >> Did Did you say that would potentially impact our career tech like the ad program? >> Um, again, it depends how we fund the district. So, if we were to fund fully a good amount of out of the SA, yeah, that would have an impact. But
090we'll make it through this year. But we as a district when we go forward and plan for the next round, we will need to make some adjustments based on what the money's how the money is going to lay out. Okay. >> Just have to be aware how we're doing that. >> Yeah. Any more discussion? Any audience clarifications? >> Okay. Board of directors time. Go ahead, Patty. >> Oh. Sorry. >> Okay, I'm going back to the football games. I am so pleased with the way our boys have been playing. The sportsmanship that those kids, children, students, whatever, show on the football field is outstanding. I mean, the one kid made a touchdown, fell down. Our kids went up, actually helped him up off the ground, congratulated him on the touchdown. I I I mean our kids
091are our kids are wonderful kids. They're great and >> on that football field, but no, it's I mean when they're out playing, they're they're they have it all together. And these kids, they're shaking the other team's hand, they're helping them up. I mean, it's not they're not nasty. They're nice kids when they're out there. and the sportsmanship that they're displaying on the field is just outstanding. I see it a little bit reciprocated from the other teams, but not not as well as our team does. Newsletter, I was thrilled with the newsletter that came out. I mean, it was had a lot of good information in it. >> Another one coming out a few weeks. >> Oh, good. Good. And the attendance to the football games from the community outstanding. And the first one was overwhelming.
092>> Second one, >> people came late, but they still filled the stands. Third one, same thing. So, >> but yeah, it was great. >> It's great. >> And I and I've heard a lot of feedback, too, from the community on the games. You know, I mean, people coming out for Friday night games has been huge. So, >> having that back is definitely, you know, I think I missed one, but they've but it's all been pretty good. >> Yeah. But I think comm showing that the community can support is a big thing and we just need to keep that momentum going and that so this is going to lead into that homecoming. >> How come it's not on a football night? >> It's on football. >> No football game is Halloween. Homecoming is not till >>
093Oh, right. Right. Okay. Right. Right. Yeah. Actually, >> it's community. >> Okay. I'm surprised it's on actual Halloween, too. The game. >> I am too. Hopefully maybe they can do I was thinking that yesterday they could do something. Maybe the school can put something out about trying to get kids to if they're going to trick-or-treating people can bring candy here to give it to them. >> Try to do a trick or treat at the game. >> Okay. >> Because I've had a lot of people ask me already like why I buy candy. I'm not going to I'm not going to have anybody now. So >> comes to our house anyway. But still it's just you know there's a lot of people that do come up the road for Halloween and if you're not there. So,
094but homecoming, I wasn't that put on on a football night like you. I mean, it's always been that way. >> Yeah. I don't know if it has been the last couple years. Seems like it's >> And I know uh Jeff Weber's also talked about bring the trailer, not on the track, but uh it's already at the barn. The kids have talked the kids are going to decorate it. Yeah. Uh so for the football game, he's going to bring the tractor. They're going to wheel it around the gravel to the back of the stadium and escort the the court off. So >> now, are they going to do that the on Halloween night? Okay. But then the homecoming dance >> on Saturday. >> Is it on Saturday? Okay. Okay. Because that was that was kind of
095But why are they not combining? >> There's a bonfire that night. >> That I don't know. Is that Thursday? >> Okay. >> So they're and they're they're not driving on the track. Can we can we not drive on it structurally wise? >> Uh no. There's a weight limit that would have track. Yeah. >> So they will have part of homecoming on correct the football game. Okay. Yeah. >> All right. So, line up. >> Director. Um, talking about the goals, it's it's important that we do that. Um, I like doing that. We should do it more. Um, sounds like there's a lot of people out sick. Um, that's no good. There's another thing going around that there's an uptick in headlights. I don't know if you guys are seeing that too or if it's just rumor
096mill. >> Yeah, I can't say specifically other than there was a case that I'm aware of that was all in a specific location and it was all done and taken care of. >> Yeah. So, I just again just rumor mill, right? But I know that we just updated a policy on that. I was just wondering if we are keeping policies in our forefront. We are. So especially the end of that policy if you know what I'm referencing. Y >> uh we have to have well documented before we get to the end of that policy. We are Yep. >> All right. Very good. >> You saw a notice go home also from the district. Uh I think it was a all message and uh um it was referencing supports for what to look for and how
097that was step one. Good policy. >> Good. Perfect. All right. That's all I had. Thank you. >> Y I just want to echo um Patty's um synopsis of our training. Very worthwhile. I'm glad we were there. It was good to see folks coming. And um speaking of our goals and you know in my brain I keep overarching all that Corey's vision of making this a destination and a lot of the stuff we're doing right now is fairly foundational but it's I can see direct lines tracking all the way to getting to the be a destination for teachers and activities and the community. And so, um, I just feel like it just, uh, I'm not an expert in this stuff, but I just feel like we are doing some excellent foundational, um, level setting right now.
098And the the thought the thought processes we're going to go through to do some goal setting, I think, is all going to be really worthwhile. Um, and I'm excited that, you know, the board seems to have we're in alignment with what we're trying to accomplish. So, I'm looking forward to all these goal setting activities. >> Okay. Yeah, I don't I don't have much. Football games have been great. Volleyball games have been great. I think I've hit most of the home games. I know. I think they're done now, depending on what happens, but makeup game tonight, but >> um most likely won't be here, I don't think. Right. Yeah. So, >> did they finally get a game going tonight? No. Have we heard? I got a message that they they cancelled. >> So, >> yeah. So,
099hopefully uh yeah, bummer deal for senior night, too. So, but anyway, um yeah, football's been >> great. >> Enjoy their team young and they're doing such a good job. Their sportsmanship has been huge because they've had some rough games and you know this coming Friday they're playing Triangle Lake which is number one for sixman football and it's they they beat the team that they played last week Eddieville um pretty substantially I think so this Friday >> it wasn't a shut out for us with Eddieville I mean that was good >> yeah it wasn't looking good until before halftime but but it was a sign of hope right yeah and and the kids they did they kept a great attitude I even on the changer over there with the opposing team. So, it's really kind of
100hard to root for your team. I heard because if I did, I'd be getting a lot of looks, but the other team would actually I can't remember who if it was it was a quarterback and I I can't remember. He threw it was a throwback thing where they toss the ball back and then the other kid threw it and it was a heck of a throw. They didn't we didn't catch it, but it was a really good throw. Probably 40 yard throw and uh the other team's quarterback who was already out of the game who was on the sidelines he was yelling. He goes, "Who threw that ball to the to our quarterback?" And you know, the kids waved. He's like, "Man, that was a good throw." I don't remember that type of stuff in
101football. I mean, not nobody ever said anything. >> No, you never were nice to the other team. >> I was like, "No." I was like, "Where's this coming from?" But yeah, it was interesting. >> Yeah, >> they were great. >> So, that's all I got. Um, I'm glad the I'm glad the the testing was great. I liked it. I I did ask Corey about maybe if uh we can get a report back on the opt-in out, like who how much do we have for opting in or out? But I think it's pretty good that we get a pretty pretty substantial optin. >> And I do want to say I'm a little a little frustrated with our local newspaper because they did a story on it and they only they've referenced we're going to go do
102a rundown of Clson County schools and they only did a story at NAPA in Seaside. >> What >> they didn't reach out to Warrington or Jewel >> and this is something I was waiting because every year they reach out to the districts wait for we didn't get anything as a brand new reporter. So I u I'll be I'll reach the reporter tomorrow to say hey but it would have been nice to have that celebration. >> Yeah we got to take the wins when we can get them you know. So >> Oh okay. Well good. Um future items we have building use fee schedule staff handbook. I know Corey has been working on it about done. >> Yep. >> And uh GSB54 policy. If there's anything else we want to get on there, we can throw
103on. We could keep the board goals discussion on the on the agenda a little bit. Keep moving forward. And I think Elise will probably reach out to Pace a little bit on maybe some scheduling >> on some of those classes. We could see what days might work. >> Okay. So, >> I mean, they were really emphatic that they would make the time to come and be here when we could have them come. I mean they were I mean that came through on every one of the sessions that they did is >> I feel like we if we can do it on the PD day and get that you know I don't want to do the same thing that they're that they're having to do I guess but I mean it's all that's going to help
104us with our liability issues >> and our insurance costs and everything else. So it should all be >> good stuff. So >> okay 13.0 motion to adjurnn. Do we have a motion? >> I make motion to adjourn. >> I don't know what time it is. >> Do we have a second? >> I'll second it at 7:30. >> Motion to adjurnn at 7:30. All in favor? >> All opposed. >> All right. Thank you. Thank you. >> I'm glad you guys went for that because like that that's why I'm so >> not really against the senior trip, but like the trip I mean I go to those and I hear about it and like but that see that's why we have the fundraiser.
