003still happening and uh things are going well but I'll give you the final number numbers next month or this month um language arts adoption we have three series I told you we have three series that we're looking at for language arts adoption for the elementary and we're starting Wednesday we have our first one hour presentation we have we have all the samples for all three of the series but we have representative that's going to be um zooming in on Wednesday we're going to go from 2 to 3:30 with the elementary teachers and uh take a look they've already been looking at the materials they'll be able to learn a little bit more and ask some questions and then we have one other that's that's scheduled um for sure we have that for another Wednesday I'm

004still looking to finalize the third series to have the um representative come in and talk to us about the about the series but we're but we're on track to get that finished by the end of the year so we can have that in the budget and go ahead and and have the uh whatever series we decide to get will be done by the end of the year another fun thing our RTI plus incentive program we talked about that last last month but the kids are on track well I should say three of the four buses are on track to meet the goal of 20 days with no trackers no referrals on the bus and that would that should happen on Friday this Friday we have one bus that missed one day and so what the

005what the ntss um people were hoping would happen is happening the kids are doing really well and so the only thing we have to decide now is when we're going to have the pizza party and where the pizza is going to come from I have my own personal you know I'd like Banos but that that's just me I don't think they door dash out here do they I hope they do so we're on track and I so we have then the the team also needs to decide when we're going to do that because if three of the buses are finished this Friday the last bus is is hopefully going to be finished up by the 31st then we just need to decide when we're going to do those things that's so pretty quick pretty quick

006yeah we want to get that done quickly so we can start over again and have another Pizza par great excellent okay is this still monitors on the bus as well is that still been we so this is part of the mtss we have one monitor on I believe it's the blue bus which is the one that you referenced at one tracker prior to this though we were having pretty consistent tracking come off this bus I mean multiple uh every week every week so that's why we went down this route which again was the tier two we're targeting that one bus but we opened up to everybody but really we've been focused on this one specific context the whole time so we have one yeah and we're going to pull that dat also for the Swiss

007to see we already know we're going to see yeah that it has had an impact I'm guessing that's that's the best part of the most students right that's going LC yep and did the kids get to pick their party so it will it be the same every time or do they get something different next time well we we can we can have something different but we right now just a pizza party and so then we could we could open up the kids and ask them but I don't I'm not sure exactly what the team wants to wants to do at that point yeah long as it's full [Laughter] t i shouldn't be doing commercials are you sponsored by anybody okay that'll bring us to Old business 7.1 sex education curriculum where do you want me

008you we going to use a laptop for you because probably up here if you want something up here okay sorry you have a single slideshow or do you have multiple I was GNA just show them the five okay but I was GNA show them an example the that okay oh you might want to be nearby sorry unless you want your Scouts okay so um I'm uh the last time oh the last time I missed meeting I'm sorry I was gone for two weeks so um so here we go we've got um I created a my own Drive um it's the second step child prote uh Child Protection unit uh lesson drive and I've got um the slides you know there's there are six lessons um and this is the KY one um so sorry so

009it um each lesson has you know like a topic ways to stay safe lesson one um you know today we're going to learn um this is the second step um the younger lessons um they use puppets a huge fan of Puppets but um this is impulsive puppy and this is oh sorry slow down snail um so uh the the cool thing about this is that so kids see the puppy and snail or you know there's this but the script is all down below um so on each of the slides um the teacher would read from the script and this one is you know like impulsive puppy you found a bottle of pills and um you know he can't wait to eat them um so it uh so IT addresses you know um the always ask

010first rule you know if you find something like hey can I eat this no it's medicine whatnot not um the three ways to stay safe recognize refuse report and the eight never never never rules um you know never touch a gun never play with fire never Ride On Wheels without wearing a helmet never ride in a car without a seat Bel never use Sharp Tools alone never cross the street without looking both ways never touch a dog without asking first never go to water uh without growing up watching never across the street without looking both ways so um just cut go down here um the thing that I really appreciate about second step is they have um pictures um and um there is um there's you know the script for uh like this is spr

011we showing his sister Clara the gun he found under dad's uh bed uh he wants to take out the gun and with it so um using the the um three ways to stay safe recognize is one of the ways to stay safe um like is it safe what's the rule don't touch guns you know um and then refuse if someone is saying hey let's play with this gun the next one is refuse and then um you know with refuse you uh in another lesson later you know it talks about being assertive and you know standing straight and making eye contact and saying no you know I don't want to do that um so sorry Cory said that I only have like five minutes so oh everything um but um you know all all of these

012are this is straight from um the curriculum um I wanted I wanted everything the script you know all the um the graphics and stuff to be like 99% from the curriculum so it's not me it's this and um Second Step is considered like the the curriculum is like the Bible of you know uh school like seal as well as child safety um so think you know I thought wow if we had everything on a drive and Abby can work her magic um where there's like a counseling Drive where you know I get hit by a bus it's still going to be there you know um and asking the teachers to stick to the script if you guys want to take a look at it it um Second Step is just it's used in all 50

013states so it it doesn't go quite in in in depth you know in a progressive you know kind of liberal heha you know State as Oregon um but it does a really good job of um skills practice and having kids recognize um unsafe safe um situations so anyways I'm G to cut that short because um I did want to talk about the great body shop they sent me the latest samples okay so I don't have the samples from 200 six anymore um and like should I is that okay okay so this it's really nice because um there's 10 lessons so each month the classroom teacher can um focus and if you take a look there oh sorry okay and if you want to take a look uh please these rows do not get these mixed

014up because these are um okay through five of the same lesson or that lesson is different this one is different so oh well wait a minute I um and the teacher guide this is the teacher's guide so it's not going to blow a teacher's mind it is very um it's very practical all the information is there um and then at the end of the month the kids could possibly take it home if we're getting the renewed one every single year or we keep it we laminate it we use the same information for three years so there we have options of how we want to do this um so this is way more based on health rather than oh you do this in this situation second step is more of skills training like that that you

015know recognizing unsafe you know knowing how to say something what you what words to use and just practicing that but this this you know has to do with um you know bullying and you know um like the stress that bullying causes um it goes into anatomical body parts for the you know the sexed sort of component um you know it talks about germs this row has the germ unit so it would um cover the components of you know like and at the young age we're not going to talk about it so much but there is an organ standard about you know talking about HIV and STDs and how germs spread but I like how at the younger ages they just talk about germs you know if it's wet and not yours don't touch it very

016very you know practical so um I really really like um this curriculum because I think it complement really well um with second step so I just wanted to give everyone a chance to take a look to see what it looks like and you know the who knows maybe I'm maybe I'm a little um oh gosh can't think of the word I'm sorry I'm I'm kind of nervous I don't like talking and it's so weird because no one else is here but I'm um it reminds me of highlights you know as a kid um and so it just kind of makes me feel a little nostalgic you know getting the Ranger Rick little thingies and reading it um so I think it's a really great curriculum and um if I had known that the copies that

017we had were from 2006 I would have ordered it last year um but lo and behold they were hiding and I couldn't find them um but uh I think that I I would seriously recommend to the school board um using this curriculum because I think that you would make a really solid um you know solid teaching tool to keep our kids safe yeah does anyone have any questions I do so this looks like um like a family bulletin so and it says this month in the great body shop so do these go out before the lesson the bulletin and then how often are the lessons see that's another component that I love about this because it gives the classroom teacher wiggle room if they wanted to teach like a few of those Concepts um you

018know like one Wednesday and then or like four Wednesdays in a row for 20 minutes they could do that or if they wanted to spend a longer time you know have one big lesson um but it it allows the teacher to um use the time you know in the best way possible you know for their class for their class yeah so is each each lesson intended to uh last for a month based on how often or maybe one a month because that's all the teacher needs to do or one every week is what you're saying uh they could do it one every week twice a month or you know I wouldn't I wouldn't necessarily recommend once a month because it it could be a lot of information you know and we we want the kids

019to read about it and take interest and focus on that Health aspect of the month more than one time a month you know so um and I wasn't quite clear now these are the more current 2009 version one of6 the ones that we had that I found were from 2006 they were really really old oh God yeah because when I got here someone had mentioned oh we have the great body shop so I went free um and then when I finally found it it was from 2016 yes on the slideshow you showed was that only kindergarten that was only kindergarten one for first grade another one for second grade it is going to be uh first and second is going to have one because the specials um are grouped you know first second and then

0203 four and then five uh 56 so um I am working on them okay because uh it it takes a lot of f focus in my day I can never guarantee that I'm going to have sit down time today was a quiet day so I got back done you know um but it's just a matter of sitting down and just making the slides and you know copying the information so there is a different one for each okay and there's six lessons for there are six lessons there are five lessons and then the six lesson is a um a review of all of them and and the curriculum is in in your office but I know point when you're here prior a few months ago we're going through this process and the words adopting you mention

021that we want to make it more sustainable for the future so instead of coming through all the curriculum stuff that we've put in a slide format so it's very accessible to all of our teachers in the district and it's also having that script on the bottom so you don't go off Off Script at all uh you keep it very very safe and secure but the message is there and it does hit all the compliances that are needed by the state of Bo yeah and then do we anticipate much change in the state requirements over time will this feel like be something that can be used for several years you think I mean the first time the um the sex curriculum came it's like 201 2017 something like that or the last time well the child

022protection unit stuff the second stuff stuff I don't see that changing here I don't see that changing anytime soon but the sex curriculum stuff that did change very recently in the last okay so I don't I don't believe they're gonna update that anytime in the next uh four years and get but I don't see it happening yeah and it's not considered um the comprehensive sexed curriculum anymore because they mixed it in with the health adoption so um so all of those different standards are now uh part of different standards um in like health so um so yeah so they would get those components when they take health for in high school they would that would come in their health well the health adoption because we're using utilize correct me if anyone here who works knows

023the difference but I know it as the Blue Book it's a big Glenco big health book and they take Health in the spring if I'm the correctly and it's twice it's right in the high school career twice uh we need to update that also um and so you're going to see this would accompass k through eight grade so you have your entire k through eight with second step with if this is a great body shop is this for the board and the community has to go through this also we have to provide time for them to take a look at it so adopt it tonight at all uh but it go through that process you get a message out there for families to come in and take a look at it um but that would

024cover literally the k through eight for all those components ER law uh suicide prevention right yep um but then make a recommendation in the fall working with the principal Council visit you know those kind of things go through that process with u high school whether it's an update of the Glenco whatever it might be but that'll look a little bit different than than this but this covers the entire case right and we have we have funds I know we have funds we put in here the whole thing, 1500 bucks for the whole K through for everything it's not it's not expensive just a matter of the material um and the district as you said great body Shob 2006 or so um that was the last time if you remember Miss tyer as principal she went

025down that road with this if you in the board at that time she was going down that road of looking at adoption of the very same program that we're talking about right now my daughter's uh School the story they use this also and I've been part of some of the parent nights some of the touch your subjects also they go through them with families virtually you sit there and you watch and and so you know exactly kids are going to be looking at and being discussed about at school they opt in opt out those all those things are still there so any other [Music] questions okay thank you oh thank you and did you might mention to them also about the online Link uh oh um I uh I was going to share the online

026Link to access the great body shop uh for the the curriculum but um you know I had a really smart moment and I went you know before I send the Schoolboard this username and password to take a look I'm going to check to see if this is still active and no it was not active um she she didn't let us I think she only gave it to us for like a week um but I emailed her back and I said hey I have I was gone for two weeks and I didn't get a chance to take a look so I'm hoping that she gives us access again and then once and I asked specifically for two weeks this time um so once she sends that to me um I will share it out with the

027board so everyone can peruse I've already shared it with one parent who was concerned about the lessons um you know specifically for her first grader and when I asked her hey hey what did you think of the great body shop she said I have no problem it looks great you know so that was really good to hear from you know a concerned parent so we look forward to that thank you thank you okay 8.0 new business integrated programs report Abby I gotta get back on the this thing here one second here update that's true stuff here op you could just share it with me really quick open it on here oops try open up the screen if that works or an audio do that like it's so share just pull it up I see one

028yeah you know what these meetings would look like without Abby right think we thank you enough Abby she we a cape I think yeah yeah she turn [Music] actually going to stop sharing and R sorry I hate the update the they just not yes you should just have so this is so this is part of our integrating programs and so if you've been to board meetings in the last couple years you may hear me say things about student investment account High School Success and those components I'm gonna go over to this oops press for this one my my glasses are a little bit rough here my vision um so this started off originally as five programs um and so this is the states where you're trying to uh shrink down the work uh and so

029there's this program we use called the rat I know Tammy and I use a lot of the Rat and it's already Ed's version of taking a lot of these initiatives that districts take uh into account for their work inside our building here and put it into one component but it's a lot of work it's a work so very top is our continuous Improvement plan and it used to be a separate report that we have to build for the district I never actually did work for the district it was something I worked with previous administrators on before by interaction for the district it's now encompassed within all the different reports that we put together so we don't have to tra all these documents individually it's all one TR report uh every day matters that's one on

030the second left blue you see on the other side here uh that is attendance and I'm going to speak about our attendance also because we've got some things to celebrate attendance uh compared to most of state of Oregon u career excuse me career connected learning and also Career Technical education uh those all fall under our CTE and work based items that we have the District High School Success uh that's getting our nth graders across the Finish Line uh whether we get them through in their you know in four years or five years that's going to be talked about also here uh student investment count that is our largest grant for Federal grant uh 218 or something have look I'll show it to you about 218 to 225,000 or so we have been receiving this now

031for about four years or so and then you have your early indicator and intervention systems that's basically in program we use about $300 for program called ion uh and that's basically a program that identifies students who are struggling early on in the elementary periods uh through S in their classrooms uh we have our Swiss and we have our star Renaissance program right now so that's basically took over our ion and we got rid of the ion program through the Statewide Assessment program in the district and then early litery success school district grants that is what the governor has put in place as of last year for all the districts and that's working very specifically with our pre birth all the way up through third grade classrooms and for the last couple years we've been able

032to keep it up through fifth grade uh for that by and then the last one we are not currently part of not interest in being a part of that one that's your federal school for Compass if Target supports that's when we are struggling to meet certain benchmarks and what not the state comes in and provides support and guidance intellig you've got to you've got to fix these things if that makes sense so I just want you to be aware about that the common you can see the elements over there uh the common rals have not changed in the last four to five years since we've been doing the integrated guidance they've changed Nam integrated guidance programs it gets a little confusing but they keep adjusted as we go along so well-rounded education that has been

033verbage in this district for quite some time around this gra and then the equity Advanced and things have been changing in our federal government you can see with those things are also having some changes across U the country and I know my meetings in billsboro ATP we also talked about what that like we're or here also so there's pretty intense discussions going on in those Avenues about what that looks like for our students and for our district for all districts here uh engage community and I've also talked about with our staff also that next year how can we engage even more of our community we feel like we've improveed but there's still a lot of room a lot of room to grow and so we're still working through that process and then strengthen systems and

034capacity um we've definitely been working on strengthening our systems creating them for sure capacity is also hard about because there's so few of us and those of us that make those decisions as those create these systems and put them into place and put them into the system here U there's not a lot of time to make that happen so that's been a struggle but we are doing it um as best we can with what we have okay between engagement we start off the year with an open house we did a title 1A presentation which I don't recall one of those happening in a long time stated that that meeting uh inte programs just a brief update from where we were the previous year we're going to be going into this year and providing opportunities for

035people to have com you know comments that com up afterwards and give their suggestions um for future uh components of the district we also just recently sent out a uh staff of student survey which I had it online I did not send this one out but we had paper copies that people wanted to run through them but we did send out a r call uh we had emails go up text messages we had social media also went up and all the same questions that are on here on there also I'm just going to run them through I'm not going to answer any of them for you um but what the state is asking specifically around the this pink one I believe is what it was the red student investment account uh says focus on students

036who have been historically marginalized by the education system and for us our focal groups in this community is high poverty um disabilities in lgbtqs plus that those are our focal groups for our district here and so we had we have to make sure when we when we putting these things together that that is the group that we are focusing on the district here uh and so there's five areas established it's Lowery class sizes which kind of laugh about because that's not a concern in the J School District meeting students with behavior mental health needs and are truthfully working on that you can see tonight this is another one of those where uh we've been contining to try to shed some light into this Avenue that we are supporting our kids in laue getting a counselor

037school based Health Center bringing a mental health support to our school based health Center bringing in the child protection unit bringing in the sex ed curriculum uh things that have not been updated or present for quite a while in this District Extended Learning time I think some of our community gets a little confused with that that does not necessarily mean summer scho uh but it can mean it can mean some exra projects things like that we did some C learning stuff this past summer two week camps that we did one week here and one week later in in the summer uh but also means things such as after school program programs other things such as camps those kind of things and that's Extended Learning opportunities I've been pushing more that we need to extend that

038Beyond just the summer that we should be doing that year around throughout the whole school year we don't just provide these camps and extra supports during the summer uh ensuring a well-rounded education for all students that's the equity aspect making sure all of our students are soed and and provided the services that are needed to provide them the supports to grow uh where they need to and should be grow and then establishing and stengthening Partnerships you got that the last Bo meeting you saw um was Miss clck is that who it was yeah uh she was here the assistance and that has been part of what we've been doing for a while uh it's just I was surprised you know SCH didn't know about that so that was just one example of a partnership you're

039going to see a couple more coming through tonight later on and the superintendent for sh maybe can com it up after this this one here about more Partnerships uh and then the last one climate and culture work um so through the national clate cultur I can't remember this organization I can't remember that exact title of it uh but we just put out a survey there's an all called that disc Community uh for climber and culture survey that was scheduled to take place in mid December obviously we had a situation in a district that took place and so we paused the hold on the climate culture survey um the students and the staff had a chance to take it last week and now we're opening up to our full community and that will go off to

040the National Climate survey uh Association back there and they're going to feed us back the results of what it looks like and I'm really hope everyone's being honest on these things are really being truthful because we want to know exactly what people think of culture and climate our district so we can Vision forward and continue to move uh to build Partnerships and Community within our our district here uh Share value so through the survey for the student investment account I know it's kind of hard to read outcomes for the staff from Cy was postsecondary College and Career resents with more focus on trade and Technical programs so the workforce aspect of things is becoming a very big deal CL are accounting Beyond with C uh and students not just looking at College as the only

041opportunity so as a district what do we do to provide uh some growth and opportunities in this world there a reason Martha is here today also because you see inside there's some real potential for the district to continue expand our option for kids some exciting opportunities and you can see it there increase and expands programs offer including the middle school grade levels I know we've done a kind of a wheel so every quarter they experience something new and so we've been speaking a little bit as a scheduling team if that's been effective do we continue to keep doing that we change some of these electives with kids at at those moments some those are discussions everyday matters expansion this year I focus on attendance um we have the highest growth in attendance uh or one

042of the highest definitely the highest in class of County but one of the highest in the state of Flor and uh that's kind of what I fored you one of the other ones I'll do the longitudinal growth stuff I'll show you where hit L just spiked all the way down and then all of a sudden the numbers just went boom way above the state average to the point they're asking the North Regional is asking how did you do that I'm gonna be blunt with you I think there's certain things that we're doing in the district that I think that's our Swiss expectations we're changing schedules our schedules have the same now starting next year for the third year in a row so we're building consistency there's no guessing what's going on we're trying to be

043as transparent as possible um you know I sometimes hear early on some students early on say you know it feels kind of like a prison sometimes and I and I make a differ it's not a prison we're actually setting standards and goals and benchmarks to reach and PR you want to hold you accountable that's how the world works so it's not a prison we just haven't had those feelings here before it's just expectations um so that every day matters the attendance I've working on a TOA position also for make to continue that attendance grow but I'm not I'm not happy with it I still think it's too L for us I want it even higher than what it is and I've Got Friends in this this tiny little head as my wife says about what

044that might look like and we're having those discussions at the ntss team right now um okay K through2 teacher increas in professional development around PBIS ntss RTI child informed care we this is what we're doing on our Wednesdays this is literally what we were doing um and if you've been following following us we started last year haven't stopped we're still doing this we spent a whole year on behavior and what do you Knows Mr Scott he's still talking about behaviors because we're still identifying tier two and tier three how to work through these processes this is where our District staff is learning how to get comfortable with this language yes the kids I hate to say it want to say they're Guinea B because they're not but we're we're learning as a staff right in

045front of our kids um and so that's going to continue uh the trauma informed care we' have Mandy Davis sitting right where your board chair sitting uh give some information discussions about how to work with their kids under some increased trauma at home coming to school we're not done with Manny Davis she's been here twice um there's some in R grant money that talking about the business manager here about uh bringing out so much supports for our community to work with our community in the district not working with their kids working with the community in the district so we can work as a partnership as that roof as I often say to help support our kids um expand our EXT programming options easier said than done we are a small district and also recognizing the

046capacity of what we can really truthfully do in a district don't go beyond that uh it's either you're G to get po results out of your cular activities or you're going to get spread so thin that you going to have no kids to doing it um so I want to be realistic about that one um iring entertaining high quality teachers absolutely and I'm a firm believer and I say it sometimes I got to be careful about that I don't care that we're in the middle of the Coast Range I don't care if you are singing and and screaming proudly about what we're doing and pushing forward you can attract really good candidates here and we do uh over over time I want to make sure every position in this district is just full capacity with

047that vision and the heart because I TR for you can you can pull out on every LEL here in this district and a continued counseling support for our PK through 12th grade school district that was one that will come up a number of times budget wise I don't see this as a possibility but having a counselor just for elementary and having another counselor just for secondary that's not feasible in a real small District I don't believe that's feasible at all uh for such a small case FL but that was something that our community um some staff had expressed just want to throw that up there for our um results student outcomes access to a counselor they like that they think that's very very important um access to a counselor for small groups I when I

048see that I see tier two mtss that's the first thing that comes to me small groups uh individual that that's more of a level three but I see tier two uh schedules for students allow for additional time for remediation and enrichment activities and access to additional resources um I think that needs to be carefully structured for that to take place to make sure that those resources if you have them in place are being utilized effectively for our kids I don't want any waste of time but I think we can make some of those things happen and then the same thing is said above access to differing CT options at the middle school level um but also high school I know that's been discussion as well how do we provide a little bit more for them

049and as a district lead I look at that in scheduling I say for our CTE now we have construction and we've been doing some ACT stuff on the side we have a music perog and I've expressed this wildly to me those are your anchors for the district those are your anchors and then you can have some other things that Branch off uh in the CT world and not but again recognizing your resources in the district and capacity what we can truthfully do um you got to be careful how far you expand you're going to take away from some of our other offs in the district and you could collapse a program too very quickly as your music teacher years ago that's F scared the heck out of me one mistake on the schedule and you're

050going to start it down downfall of the program um so this is the next B starting next school year 2526 and the following 26 27 can see the amounts um so 217 for the sna next year and 226 for the year after high school Success and I'll I'll read through them in a minute 7,073 almost and then same thing 300 bucks basically and then early L9 and 61 of almost $78,000 out their grants govern um that's now when you read these little things here these are all the things that we have made some actions for the district in terms of our goals and our activities uh that we could utilize the funds to pay for and they are they have been changing a little bit so they were a little bit smaller and we've been

051increasing what we can do hire student academic success coach hire postsecondary support staff Community engagement coordinator stien some of these aren't being utilized right now just depends on the needs of where R but they leave them up there uh then all the benefits additional salary transportation for summer learning supplies for summer learning admission fees camps that's how we're sending all these kids off the camps to last three or four years when you set off when I was doing a band you set off $23,000 worth for almost an entire band program to go off to Camp uh that's unheard of from those districts but this allowed that to take place um professional development uh travel for professional development staff for that administrative and direct student Heth and safety we utilize some of that stuff also last

052year for some of our individuals coming in Donna be remembers her presentation when she came in um and then Community under family support and I'm still looking at potentially expanding that with the state depends on what can L is for the vision for the district you just have to ask um and then High School Success player construction uh posos that's program of study that's our construction that's not what that's not the teature costs but we put some of those costs into paying for the salary of our instructor e that's your star Renaissance for early intervention systems we mentioned before we already have that embedded uh geordan Scott former principal was one working directly with that we are now getting access uh to Mike Scott to start taking more control over the star assessment also um

053we won't go very far this year we've only got two more VES go and the early L success uh we just sent three I think I to correct maybe three or four staff members to New Orleans to the National Convention for Early Childhood literacy uh based off of s science of reading that's the adoption thing you hear Mr Scott talking about we are not in compliant with the state of Oregon for what is a a scientifically based uh curriculum for the district they do not recognize anything that we use at the Early Childhood level as being uh what would be considered appropriate now I said I want to be mindful great work is happening down there and they are hitting benchmarks our teachers are outstanding there so don't get me wrong but the state of

054Oregon wants to see all schools follow suit so that's why we're going through this adoption process uh I guarantee their education is still will always remain topnotch and but they're just going to be more at the state of organ is what they want based off science and reading um and then we also for uh usually have one member Elementary signed into dyslexia training and there's different forms of the trainings I mean there's so many versions you go out there and take uh that I made a requirement that all of our elementary teachers are train into not just one all of them and then we're looking at some coaching if not up there but some coaching also um there's so many things I can talk to you about these things if you're going in my office

055I don't know some people this can go over their heads uh but there's so many exciting things around that component and that one Success is Not anytime soon so um just want to make sure you don't forget anything I have one more slide but I won't talk about that one yet because that's that doesn't need to be voted upon this is an actionable item I believe um another component um this is at the early stages this is the application for the integrated programs um this is roughly currently this is 24 pages long that I put together for the district uh this is what Mr Scott George Scott former princial myself were working on they were supposed to put this together um I couldn't put it on Mr Scott Mike Scott when he came in um

056because I know Washington didn't do the integrated program stuff I have a history with this I wrote the very first one for the district under Mr was in track of everybody Mr wood and Mr Philip Dr Philip excuse me um so I put that one together um so what this document is it really speaks everything I just said but it goes into great Det all the way through you if you would like to read it that's fine it's due no later than April 30th if it's late we do not receive all of that that's a hefty amount of money um I did run it through a gentleman Rob saon former superintendent don't know exactly where but been working at the district for a while and he gave me all the colorcoded things he went through

057this with me a couple weeks ago after I complet it all other than just a couple minor things this is just about done which is outstanding feeling absolutely wonderful feeling um so I really believe after spring break I'm going to go in probably on the first or second week and submit this and have to do it in one sitting and submit it all the way to the state provide all artifacts and other things uh that the state requires and I'll hit submit and we wait to see if hasit Productions to come back from the state one of the requirements for this so is this is again this is part of the 167 page document from OD about the integrated reports I'm saying that because that's a lot of that's a lot of pages on top

058of everything everything else that goes through um integrated application including the narrative responses and I'm sorry this thing and the budget which Camy and I went over it's in our in the rad program um needs to be submitted by that April 30th time frame for the board um I need to have presented this to the governing board with the opportunity for public comment um so I don't know if we need to approve I don't think we need to approve it uh I don't get the gist I just make sure in the notes that it shows I presented this and find opportunities for you guys and for the public to comment on this um and at that point oh never mind there it is approved by the governing board so approved by the governing board and

059it's not a consent agenda item so it does need to be approved by the board and then once that's done I can submit this off to the state um and we need to post also where this is at our website is you know and it needs to be all successful in the main office as well so I know there there's a lot here uh but if you have any questions I'll be happy to than for me can I I'm sorry so we have to approve it but after the public comment um and that's all done so so posted so we will get this posted after under today's meeting under the governing board op for public comment and then after that approved by the governing board you barely have time by the next board we yeah

060yes what is that so you barely have the time by next board we next meting when's the deadline uh well this this part has to be approved in March this part would have to this key have to be approved at this board meeting all all districts are presenting their presenting this slideshow and just the verbage at the March board meeting so we make a motion TI to approve to approve this is you're the yes yeah you're approving the draft public comment before you approve the draft and then after the draft then and then get submitted to the state and then they give you back the feedback if the need changes does that Mak sense so so what has to be done by April 30th what is that what has to be done by April 30th

061I have to submit the final document to them by the 30th the F the final the final plan to the to the state by okay so we're gonna do the draft tonight next meeting and then how do go out to the community um how can I phrase this the report the report it doesn't go to community the report the the actual report itself needs to be open open Community commentary Bo oh and then it comes back and then at the April board meeting we approve the whole thing meeting I need to have this open this report now being open to the public meeting this is considered open to public right now yeah I guess I mean if you want to pull off until April you can no I don't want to but I'm I'm getting

062a little confused of what we have to do tonight versus what has to be done before April 30th do we have to approve it again before okay I just I'm I don't want to wait till that time period because my worri gives me 10 days I don't want to do saying it's tight so yeah every District's going through this in March uh and Rob Saxon said you want to get through this in your March Bo so we just approved the draft so whatever the state decides oh I don't like this then it has to come back then do we have to approve it again uh at that point as long as by the by the 30th of April with the state uh then we can make the adjustments during that process or they're going to

063get all that information back to every school district before the 30th uh that's why we all have our specific context because this these colored marks are not my markings this is another superintendent who's gone through this who has worked with the state okay and he's done he's done so we're pretty sure that oh I'm fairly certain this is all good to go okay yeah okay yeah because I don't want the state to B us up I not getting any corrections or any additions or deletions want so once you submit that to the state by April 30th you've got it you're good to go now if there's mistakes with it or they want to see adjustments after April 30th Village you know and you can fix them still get all I just want to make sure

064that we have this information out out for the 30th if you wanted if you want to approve it in the April board me want toake but that just gives me only roughly 10 days or so to get it submitted and that's a lot of that's a lot of work to get submitted I've got highlight red in one and so what we're approving is how you determine that money is going to be spent in those different buckets that's corre okay thank you yes that's thank you that's significant stuff and and those Haven these haven't changed much in four years four years if we're seeing some adjustments uh just how how we utilizing your staff as best we can with the funds that we have so we're not spending out on a general fund using some Grant

065funds but at the same time with the understanding that usually you have grants you don't want to fund your employees out of it because if they Grant by by uh you got either pull out your general fund or you lose the employ this isn't going away I don't see anytime so I really don't see this going in fact they've got it planned out in the big 67 page document till 2032 right now is where they have it plan so I see this go least six years is this a federal or is this a state Grant Federal this is federal okay yeah okay there any more discussion on that do they give us any exact verbage for the motion or it just motion I just gotta make sure there's any public comments is there any public

066comment so with the SI siia right SI so um are you do you do like any staff input or anything like that like surrounding like hey you because I think a lot of us see we have this thing and we don't know how to get it taken care of but I feel like staff's on that list that they might be able to like give you some hey I have this stock can it fit in here and I don't know I know you guys use it for all sorts of stuff but that is a significant amount of money well one thing we want to cautious about also what we do that because sometimes and we've come across this I'm just going to be transparent about it when we start getting it depends on what it is

067some of these grants we want to use large chunks because we have got to the end where the reason some of these things continue to go down is because we have little expenditures coming out here and there and it's so hard to get those tracked and keep those mve forward so couple bucks here 300 bucks there and we're talking $277,000 uh it gets really complicated so we're trying to put large chunks into these things if that makes sense yeah um and they have to they do need to follow suit for the student investment account they have to follow five lowering class sizes all the things that was in the survey they have to follow through of those because again it's it's because of um you know focus on the students who dist paralized speciic and

068that's the gist of it but our district is so small sizewise it benefits all kids benefits all we did open it up last year said anybody has right it's difficult to have tiny expenditures to account for that to make sure they are because it does roll over year but at the end of the bium if you don't we draw all way down I mean that was us the office and you know we're s boy you've got you know the chunks still spent and we don't have there's not a lot that was fitting the criteria at that point so we're trying to try to work it through and talking to OD and going how can we make this fit but they have very specific criteria for that specific point thanks yeah a lot of work to

069put that together yeah have somebody like to make that motion what has to be in the motion yeah my thought process what they gave us so my thought process was at the board would say something effective uh the presentation was shared I don't see it to proove the dra but the presentation sh the rep public um um comment was provided and the board go wants to move forward with go aheading to submitting the application stat do we have to put any kind of dates on this or just say the integrated programs report the years have the years in it or no well you want to say by any of them 20 by 25 through 2027 3 25 are you gon to make that motion I can oh go ahead okay um the integrated programs report

070for the buy inions 25 through 27 was shared with school district number eight je School District to board or the governing board and community and the board would like to approve the draft we have a second I'll second that all in favor all closed okay and all the years that we've been doing these things every time I come up usually you'll get an annual report from me once a year then this is only my second time going through process with the district but the last TR has always been online it's up there everybody can see been on there pages and pages but it's all up there so when this is all said and done you're GNA see pages of work that's up there as well and we're gonna find it where on the website it

071would be under OD integ guidance thank you thank you okay 8.2 2526 District district calendar draft should have a copy of that say how many times are we GNA approve this reove it it's just it's just one of those things that every year yeah I ran through both associations as well and so far um me looks good um you can see graduation is still similar to this year it's the last Saturday in May uh just the way the calendar rolls out is pretty much the same calendar as what we did this year it really does not look hardly at all different for in any more snow days in there it's what we've always have so what's the what's this State requirement for student contact days well it's that for students they go by minutes um

072they go by instructional minutes but we we just we put those on there just so we can see how many actual contact days we have with our students it's the contract days for teachers which is spelled out so there's 11 1100 instructional hours that's for students and that meets all the requirements yeah for division 22 yeah yeah it's it again went through that last board meeting for the snow days there's a specific amount for K through 8 specific amount for 9 through 11th and a specific amount for sers because it says down here in the very very bottom and teeny Tey te with print 190 for teachers and 171 for student contact yes it's on the top too uh it's on the top as well the top box it's bigger there yeah I I I'll

073make a motion that we approve the juel school 2025 to 2026 calendar we have a second I'll second all in favor I I all oppos yes 8.3 8.3 agal program information by Mar and can I say something before you go yeah please I'm pass my stickers out so so I I have asked Mark k um we've and I've talked a little bit with you as the board um and we've I know Mar has done a little bit of reach out to some of our student bodies and some of the families and you know that we received some grants through OD uh in quite a bit of money I think wasn't the first grant was it 15 or 10 10 and then we received another 10 is that right 15 oh 15 okay so 25 plus

074the be Grant what not that we also have um and you can see we're building quite a bit of Interest last year Martha and myself and I and Mr I think came together and we spoke with uh our CT spokesperson guidance counsel you want to call it uh from class College about our program of study and our program of study for the district our main CTE program is construction um and so much interest in agriculture outside of things I was interested think could we take a look at that for our student body uh to see what that could do to pun intended to grow some interest for our community so we did that last year and a little bit prior year before and it's really Blossom all these puns sry keep practice no I'm becoming

075my dad love you Dad uh but in general uh the interest is definitely there and we've been able to embed that within our our our schedules but Kindergarten all the way all the way up to high school um but we ran into some just I'll just say some difference of of thoughts with uh what this I don't say change of program of study because you're allowed to have one but I think there's a confusion with the College of what that really could look like for a district because other districts have more than one program of study why can't the J school district have one more than one uh so kind of things kind of simmer down a little bit last year and then we re-engaged again this year and I had another conversation with Mary

076and Jackson um what a couple weeks ago maybe a week ago or so um and the vision is much more open where not getting rid of construction I want to make sure you're very clear when you hear me say that not getting rid of the construction program of study uh but taking the A and making that the giant umbrella for the district with all the components underneath it that this would be a potential uh Workforce CT program where you have Agriculture and construction or Agriculture and Welding or agricultural business it's whatever whatever the district sees fit to make it work um so I asked Martha to come in today um because if if we were to take a look at potentially looking at a program of study addition to the district I can get that

077information in um before the end of April and we can make that transition and literally the district could actually have an act program in place in September running full-time uh with interest embed that in our elementary we've got a loose schedule already built it's already there we'd have to build an advisory committee again all those Partnerships those are already those are already not in place but the contacts are ready to go everything's ready to fire to make this happen uh but I just I ask Mark to come in and express kind of where we're at right now with what we've been doing it in in the U in the scor per se and then the board's recommendation what do you want to see if we were to move forward with this more Outreach uh whatever

078it is you have thoughts about so we can take a look at that um I'm I'm just intrigued because I if we're going to do this I I want to I want to investigate this thing in go because I'm a firm believer and some of you've heard me say this more than not when the right people are in the right part of the you know the world things can take off and I think I always hear it for a reason for that music program when I came in here because it didn't exist and it flew um and I keep thinking we have individuals who come into this District that have a very spe specific skill set that can really U Vision what could be possible in our little Community here and so this is when

079I'm I'm in so thank you Mar you thanks for that Inu so I kind of got a glimpse last meeting that you guys didn't know anything about ass leag which then let me to believe that hey maybe you don't know much about the jewel school garden so I'm doing a introduction from when we started until where we are today um and it's hope y shorter than I think it's going to be but this might be my first PowerPoint presentation so here we go okay so as Cory mentioned um we applied for the competitive Farm Grant in 2022 uh for $10,000 and they um granted it to us which was great so that got us our elk fence um which was a huge um amount of money plus all of our amendments for um building our

080so we needed top soil and all of our fertilizer and um our manure and things like that because we had to start from scratch um and then we needed all of our seeds and and um I mean we needed everything so that $10,000 was really great um in March we got a work party together and we built the fence that took about it we got everything up for the Post one day and then we had to let them set before we stretched the fence um so that was another month probably but the kids got the beds prepped and designed um all by the end of the year and they got half of it planted in that first year so that was really great for starting in March um so I'm just going to show you

081some pictures of kind of before and after and kind of where we went so this is building the production Garden that's what we call the upper Garden behind the barn has any have you been up there to look at that okay um if you ever get a chance it's pretty fun so um this was the pasture that um we were able to use and um you can see there's nothing there the sus fense or let's see the math class came up with Connor Vite and um they did the all the math in the classroom so we could order like all the post like how much we would need for the space that we were going to fill and then they came up and they laid it out they surveyed it as a class which was

082really great the Pythagorean theorem here we come and then this is our volunteer work party I think we had like 16 people show up that day which was awesome it was a beautiful day in March we got all of the 55 holes dug with the twers augur and all the post set these are our helpers that day that's my kid on the left in the red I don't think he helped much but he sat around and then the shop class came in um later and my husband Nate and they did the H bracing and they stretched um some other bracing so we could set the uh Gates and things like that and then Nate and I ended up stretching the fence I don't think we ended up having kids come in for that because it

083was pretty cuty we got cut a lot so we um I think did that in a couple weekends so then we had the science class many of them come up that spring and this is um them after the math class again laid out our 22 rows and um and then this is the the forming of the beds so that was a lot of work they did so good and they rocked it and I just so much pride watching them do um so this is planting the garden this is the first year and they did all the starts from seed I think we um yeah they just this is in the greenhouse this is this is I guess they were first graders no this is second graders that year so they started these from seed and

084then they kept transplanting up to these bigger pots and so by the time you can see the mountains behind them they got into the ground they were in gallon pot they already had this great start um and they had a pretty good pumpkin year that year but not tremendous there's nude again sorry so that was our first pumpkin patch um and then this is just uh from the beginning so this is um before the kids left this is what they planted um and then this is what they came back to so that's the same year that was the first year and so you can really see like you know when you do these Hands-On activities with kids you know it's it's hard to visualize until you get to visit the same spot over and over

085and you see that growth and the excitement that then they have when they get back to school in September is just I mean you should come and see it because it's it's really fun to um watch them um so this is this is just some of the starts from the first year this was last year's starts those were three of my main seniors that worked with me all year um and we were on the floor right and so we started in the greenhouse and um I think we planted seeds in one week and half of them got taken out so Abby and I put some game cams up and we had a we have serious rent problems so then we brought everything down to the courtyard and we were bringing things in and out every

086day super inefficient terrible so um with the second Grant we got we have rolling racks now and we have um grow lights and so we can even start earlier this year and we can just roll them out when it's nice drop the plants and then we can roll them back in so each year we're just getting more dialed this is some of our Harvest um so those are heirloom tomatoes which I know Cory said it was the first time you'd ever had heirlooms so this is what your kids are eating in the cafeteria and Heidi is tremendous with putting this product out she loves the fresh food so I feel really lucky with that because she's 100% behind me the whole way on whatever you bring me I'll put it out so um this was

087potatoes we got way more than that that's just kind of a a nice picture um this was straw one pick of strawberries this year and so um I was processing them and putting them in freezer bags and then those have been going out to the kids in their breakfast um until they ran out which I think it was like December but we I was getting this much like every week wow um this was some of the greens the seniors last year did pickles this is their pickling this is our kit our seventh graders this year that's our bro that's like that's a drop in the half how much broccoli we got it was just beautiful florettes some carrots carrot battles and cucumbers um there's another pick you might know that kid very exciting day with

088potatoes I don't know if you can see how big juniverse potato is was pretty fun there's another one of our students our onions um maybe you had some pumpkins come home oh yeah yeah this was our Roma our first Roma Harvest this um summer and that ended up getting distributed when Heidi delivered school lunches in the Summer she just took Romain around and dropped it with the families which was cool um and okay so that was like first year was production Garden second year is pumpkin patch so I say Corey we have this huge area on the side of the gym it's not being used at all can we use it so we did and it was an awesome year with the pumpkins this was I wish I could have got the first we did

089pumpkins and corn um and the corn didn't do good that's okay we're not going to do it there again and the pumpkins did amazing so this is the end like this is getting near the end I don't know if you walked up that way but they were all over we got 70 pumpkins every single Elementary and prek God pumpkin this year we're definitely doing it again because you can do so much science with your pumpkin and then take it home and they love that um so these are a couple of the other Littles okay so then the second Grant through OD that we wrote last year it's a b ANM Grant so we're currently still in it was the $15,000 one and I wrote it so that we we could get the raised garden beds

090out there so that was with the seniors last year we kind of came up with what we would want out there because it's a really beautiful space but it's really underutilized and this is the space between the the building here there's a little square inside the middle of the building that's outside that has not been used for 15 16 years there were two garden beds that were not used and we did plant those immediately that first year but um they were getting old and just kind of need needed a revamp and then ALS Alo just to make that area so people want to go use it because like if we could get you know what we're working on is um more picnic tables out there you can just do Outdoor Classroom you know right from

091your classroom right outside and the little kids getting them up to the production Garden it's hard and we did our steps and it's hard for them so getting it closer was key um so yeah we rode it for 15 to 20 raised garden beds out there and then 20 or uh five for the greenhouse because we want to put some more up there because we have a small Greenhouse up in the barn um kind already talked about that the mural was you'll see that next okay so this is kind of the pre pre Courtyard transition not much out there um and then this is the beginning of the mural that the interet ad class did this year so there's seven kids um and they spent their first month of school doing some of this stuff

092along with other they needed to get some heavy labor in there they were going a little crazy but this is the end result so um it's kind of the backdrop it has Saddle Mountain is in there I don't know if you can see it um they we still haven't finished but they're all putting their uh handprints on the bottom for the roots as a way to kind of seal us all together and then they are writing their signatures and I know they don't think it's that cool now but they're going to come back they're going to know it's cool because if you're all touching hands and all forming that root system again going into the plants um we're hoping that they can see that Bond um so these are some of the raised garden beds

093we have if you got there now we rearranged everything because we took out the old garden beds um these are the kids doing the hugle culture which is um you just start with a layering system system because those beds are so big you can't just fill it with a bunch of dirt and so we're doing it's like composting while we are growing so um that's been really fun to teach them it's a lot of work and they're doing so good uh this is the eighth grade class that just came in last month and um they've been rocking it there's a couple more okay so uh sorry I don't know how long I've been going but I'm gonna tidy this up crunch day I don't know if you heard about it it's a day to that

094Oregon puts on um there's the national Farm to school month in October and so we participated two years as a way to um bring more attention to having fresh food in our schools uh this is and we will do it again next year because it's really fun so you all take a big bite of a fresh vegetable or fruit at the same time and so we did that we did our own carots this year and last year we did cucumbers and other so those are some of the those guys volunteers um we have two parents try and come once a week I I have struggled to try and figure out the best way to get Volunteers in and I think it's that you just have to ask people you have to say directly hey can

095you do this thing for me and then they're like totally and doing that this year I've gotten two parents and they are showing up like Reg L and that's the key and then last month we asked Virginia to come in and teach class and she did and I'm hooked and I would like to say for your community involvement I would like to bring people in to be like guest Cooks once a month because it gets people in here and then it gets more of us moving together and if our community is teaching the kids something I think it just adds an element so once a month if I'll talk talk to you more about that but I would like to continue because Virginia being in here was awesome and I'd love if she was here

096more TJ's amazing I would love to have TJ in um okay so these oh and we had so there's Virginia Tada and there's Grant he comes every week um and then we had the Master Gardeners come in and do a couple classes this is a soil um class that they did for the seventh graders which was really fun and then they came back and did another one with the insured class because they started the um Master Gardeners program in January they let them sign up and um so we're working through that curriculum right now this is the end so future plans for the a program uh we got a $1,500 grant for um through whole kids and the B cause project so we're going to be getting be's um depending on what my schedule looks

097like next year if if I'm still driving I can't do a club but if I'm not driving I'd really like to do a b Club because um that would be a great after school potential uh more after school and summer garden programs is a thought uh currently we have applied for two grants I applied for aest which is a $4,500 one and then um for another whole uh whole kids food Grant which is $3,500 so cross your fingers that we get those um and then then other thoughts expand our classes I don't know um Greenhouse fruit nut Orchard processing shed for veg walk- and cooler animal husbandry you know we can just go for the works long-term goals here long-term goals um and then this is I realized I gave you that survey about FFA

098and um I'm not going to go into any more about that but um I thought oh maybe nobody actually knows what that is does it do you all know what Future Farmers of America that's what stands for so um there's a lot more to FFA in 2025 it's a huge program and there is a lot of potential there um so anyway that can be another discussion at some other point but we could maybe start at FFA chapter okay um and these are my end pictures look at those kids I just love that picture of the seventh grade they're moving compost and they're just having so much fun all right there we go thanks for listening to my Spiel I appreciate you does anybody have questions about the garden Paddy the kids that come up is

099it an actual scheduled class or do they do this on their own they do this year so um the I had Tas last year for the older kids and then I had Elementary gardening since last year but that first year um uh I was doing partial gardening but they made it like on the schedule last year so K through 5th and then this year it's K through six and that's one day a week and then um I have seventh and eighth grade one hour a day five days a week amazing for middle school and then I have um seniors and one Junior every day one hour a day um I would love to have more time with all of the grades because um and do the kids come do they what do they come regularly

100I mean is this a class that they look forward to coming up and digging in the dirt planting their plants I mean I think so okay you know I feel like I don't the eighth grade class I haven't heard one complaint not one I just like I'm Blown Away Away by their and I labor is wonderful for up here it is and I just I I don't know I definitely the seventh grade you know they would be like oh you know it's December we don't really want to go up but I'm like well that's what we're gonna do today and once we get up there and they get that fresh air and they move their bodies um and then you know you see the end result like you don't see you don't see maybe months

101of what we're building sure but then again when those kids come back and they see what they' built there's a lot of Pride there so do any of these kids put entries into the county fair I think that would be a great thing to do I know that through FFA they probably could but still or 4 H but the sport totally yeah I think the potatoes need to go are huge okay any other questions Heidi actually getting all those kids to eat that broccoli I think she is because it's delicious and we there's broccoli growing right now the spring shoots are coming out and I took those kids up there last week and there was kids like I don't like BR I'm like just try it just try the tender shoot and they were like

102hm okay so like if you get it fresh off the you know stock might change your opinion I like one yeah have you thought about doing a little Farm Stand so um I definitely would love that and I know that um there's other teachers that have mentioned that as well so I think that would be a great fure because we have other little farm stands but nothing for fresh I mean really fresh broccoli totally onions potatoes I'd rather have the kids eat it if they're eating it well true but I but still for a class to learn right but you learn how to grow it how to process it how to well and then the community' be like I want to go get some of that fresh you know heirloom tomato going yeah but I

103mean to would go from start to finish to you know how to process and how to promote it and get it going yeah I think it be wonderful okay thanks yes wonderful we got all night so I guess I Vision that I I've had for the district around this is is to be pushing this um so unless I get direct feedback I'm G to keep pushing uh with um position of study because I think this is and i' I've walked with Martha and a number of people down that area down there from the for Flex visioning Orchards and expanding the garden uh doing the umbrella where you're doing as you mentioned selling food and uh just career anything around this and kind of like the music program not everybody was into it but my goodness

104gracious they felt that sense of Pride and they got excited and before long it's just huge I really believe this is potential for that in this District I really do yeah I think it's one and busing R SCH district is is the only one closest to us that has an actual act program the other districts also talked about potentially this is in the future looking at what can each School District provide for CT uh resources juel could provide construction and a that the other districts don't have for example a so they can partner them you know kids could come out here or they can do some virtual learning same thing our kids we don't have fishery or we don't have Auto body that kind of stuff we can do the same thing with warrant or

105seide stor uh I mean Automotive I mean all stuff out there yeah so I this is me saying this is an opportunity that I don't want us to slip let this slip out of our hands because I think it's again I'm going to use another analogy I think it's ripe for the moment right now when you have passionate people you know someone's passionate about it it's easy for everybody to get on board so I sense it's it's a fertile opportunity you handed it to me got 84 I don't want talk about he's a ping comedian okay 8.4 sorry every I Shar one more document breakfast time think it's Ren ho hell I thought i s likeing a little bit [Music] ago one thing if I can just that some of that money goes supporting the

106that up here so Brian Bane he's known as the tech Guru for North Regional ESD uh we had to put together and we did this last year prior longitudinal performance growth Target goals for the district and currently there has been no measurements we're waiting from the state of Oregon to check in on every District to see if they're going to hold us accountable for these things they not either reference points for the districts at the moment now the governor did with some sort of reest that districts need to hit certain metrics in the future uh I think the timeline if it goes through is 2030 is what I heard where if you don't get specific metrics they're going to provide supports for you and uh if it doesn't change up the first supports are going

107to come in they're to kind of guide it for you on the second round but after that they'll come in and take 25% of your state SCH funding if you don't get things well that's gonna make it real good but they'll that's that's news that just come out last week or so um so this you see I won't give you too much the red line is a state average for attendance uh you can see juel around 20 20 2021 coming back from the pandemic you can see the numbers just down yellow is our see that's all of our students our focal students are actually the green so we identify those focal students that we talked about uh which is majority this is the rural property what they're talking about there and we want to close

108those gaps want the green L is Clos to the yellow line as possible um you see where it bounced back 2223 and we're at 23 24 we finished last year how it just and the state average I mean iterated the state average we are getting every time I go to ESD been referenced we showing grass this is what're showing all the time and they're even asking us we utilize some of their resources how Dre SCH how you P this on they want to know what this my thought process 80% attendants I want to H District but so I just want you to be aware of those things um when we're put these goals together you can see third grade language arts ninth grade on track fouryear graduation rates fiveyear uh completers and then the OD

109men this is what I work on with Brian Bay and so your Baseline targets by 2829 that's how far out we have to set these uh they were like our fouryear graduation to get the 90.1% off and the stretch Target that's the one underneath it if we could stretch it up and try to reach it is 95% uh you know with our student numbers that's not even a full kid that makes sense so we put in there one student represents n to 10 percentage Point uh and that can drastically move things up over and so you notice there's a time frame in 2017 189 I don't know if it's still on the website but it's it been on there for a while celebrating 100% attendance here or 100% graduation ex the district um and then

110um we got a report this year I think it's up to 67 I believe somewhere around there last year was 56 um and so going through that with number of other superintendant and just identifying with Brian B also about the information what designates those kids our kids uh for graduation rings so when they're in here when they're in here as ninth graders those are our kids and then we follow them obviously through but when they move to another District uh once another District enrolls them and no longer are kids so it doesn't fall into this into the straight year they go to another state and we don't report that um so if we don't report that to them uh they're assuming they're still here in our district so that would go against our district if

111we get students coming into the district as a junior or senior and they just have tained in the previous district and then came into our district and we're struggling to get them where they need to be well we can't get them there in time that's against us that goes against all of our graduation rates so when I look at these numbers I just you know I I think we're going to be near 90 to 100% for this year and then the Press will come in all Express know this is what we're doing which is true but very next year we could have you know another student more in or something they could drop that ever back down again so so I I would take that a little bit of the grain of so um but

112I guarantee we really do work ours off these kids across the line um fiveyear cor workor completion you'll notice it's blank ninth grade on track is blank third grade is blank because the numbers in this District are so small that would be identifiable information for our community and for the world to see we could actually tell you which kids we talking about and you're not allowed to do that that's very private information so therefore we do not have any information OD does not and and we can't so other one is regular attenders our goal by 2028 29 is 80 80.1% which we're already there we've already um so now the goal is to maintain it or increase it to the stretch which I said I'd like to get to 90% And that our FOC group

113students um those are the ones that hit the most we're talking High poverty disabilities lgbtq plus those students we are having um a little bit more challenge of getting them to come to school on a regular basis for whatever those reason news AR of things that we working in the dist can see the rest of it so this all goes with the integrated reports but they wanted me remove this from the report because it does not need to be FL to the PO public com is now to take place because it's still a draft form as well but this is much more um um want to say more articulate for the state who will utilize that to have further discussion US future for these VRI so any every every district is doing this in org

114I you have any comments or questions you have take here are our seniors all on track to graduate this year how many are there good real strong gr seniors this year have the seniors this year how long what's their tenure at this school through what are they all have they all been here since junior high or Elementary no uh in fact at least in my time period in The District in general uh it's hard to keep usually even half of them half of them here usually by the time you get to the end um a good half of them are usually not from from a freshman year prior usually it's people coming in from different districts whatnot um but this year I have to go through her some years because I I I I don't

115know have to go back look of the history when some of these kids arrived most of them have conf we may have one I can say my time as doing kindergarten all day up to 12th grade where I saw somebody Finish Well if they're all on track and they're not they haven't all benefited from what we're doing the whole time that's really good we've got like said a good group okay 8.5 Bridges and Beyond and in your packet uh so thank you Mr Scott on is it May 1 yes so May 1 we are having a I'll start off with the dark purple one so we are having a youth prevention Fair around vaping marijuana alcohol and opioids and that is going to be kind of a science sphere based uh um presentation for our

116students and is is it fifth grade Mike fifth grade okay fifth grade through seniors um so having them come in and having U some work in and U kind of a I don't want to say assembly but more of a walk around in a very Hands-On presentation by the Colby health services and that'll be here at school that will be here at school and first and the very same night also we're going to get verbage out this week to our famili so they can prepare for this uh the same thing then we have from prek all way up to 12th grade of family night on the same night following this event where there will be a free dinner and presentation group art projects raffle prizes uh and they're going to be talking about prevention as

117well for drug use and alcohol and they they're going to have it appropriate for all different levels here so I want don't you be aware of this we have CIA County and that's again because of the partnership that we have say because of our health yes okay and in conjunction I also reached out um a week or two ago to clatt County let say Authority health authority um and made a connection I forget her name she's coming out either this Friday or next Friday I look at my calendar um but I said I want something more for the district than just a one and done for drug and alcohol prevention for our district because like other districts we have some issues in the district as well vaping you know is an issue also that we

118have some of our students in the district here um so providing some education uh coming out here she is thrilled to be coming out here like I see the Friday next Friday to provide resources and uh an operation plan for the District of how we're going to work with their kids provide education around drug and alcohol use in just in general and I said I don't want a one and done if you're going to come out here I want a partnership as I mentioned cist league and other the a stuff County Health you're going to build this into something that would be long lasting with cloud of County because I was looking at this going with cl County's do this CL County have involved with us as well and they were CL was involved with

119it briefly that for some reason things kind of moved away a little bit for them um but they'll be here start that conversation with us in about a week or so and is the Hill Center still going strong it's going strong um if you're GNA ask uh I have to go through the most recent document have some numbers that they provided have some supports that they they have but some of the mental health supports are more privileged information so they don't have the numbers um I'm trying to recall what the document said um but we have enough participation we're not going to close uh no I'm not going to say they're not going to close they're going to be they're going to be fine up a while but I do I have asked let me

120phrase I have asked the health over there would they be open to having community members com just being bloodly down um if we're going to sustain a health center in the middle of the Coast Range and we only have access for students and staff uh you're not going to see numbers come through here I know it's been discussions with previous boards here as well about what that future may look like I was going to put this on the April board meeting and I will for further discussion but you are going to see me asking because in that document um expressed that by U I forget her name again the lead gal of the health center here that is up to the school district whether they want open up to theity and I've asked that many

121times and they they said that they weren't ready for that but now it's in documents that it's waiting for us if we want to so I'm going to ask the school board do we want opene health for the board members so I want we're time to go through that documents so I'll present it to you because I don't have much more i' gotta make some full calls and discussions before I present to the bo but that will be in April I okay that'll bring us a new business 9.0 hcp update yeah I'll keep it brief for about an hour so the White House I think many of you are aware of this but I'm gonna say it anyways uh president Trump has uh signed the executive order on March 1st for the immediate expansion of

122American Timber production I'll read just a little bit of this you can get very Poli C so I won't go through some of the political components but just a few sentences so any his verbage the production of Timber Lumber paper bioenergy and other Wood Products Timber production is critical ter our nation's well-being Timber production is essential for crucial human activities like construction and energy production furthermore as recent disasters demonstrate Forest management Wildfire risk production projects can save American lives and communities United States has an abundance of Timber resources that are more than adequate to meet our domestic Timber production needs the last sentence I'll say is it is vital that we reverse these policies and increase domestic Timber production protect our National Economic Security so this is in pertinence to Federal Forest lands and we're

123we're under the state if I'm correct here we're under State Forest lands uh but I will say there's movement beyond the appeal that we have in place and still waiting to hear back from the appeal for judge Peterson whether or not we can move forward but there are other components that I am currently not at Liberty to speak about that are taking place around this right now that could have an impact on our district U regardless of hcp has I believe had an impact on our budget already at this point so we'll be hearing more about that as we go into the budgeting stuff uh that we are preparing for we are preparing for what I've been speaking to you about for a couple years at this point I can't sh you go that at

124all if that does take away situations I think it's going to be three or four years to get the ship rolling back again as things have already fall falling off the cliff so so where into our budget right okay 9.2 mandatory board training has everybody had a chance to review that email and log in no I me it's it was very I think Elise sent out an email today regarding kind of the process of doing it but it's very I tried doing it prior to that and it was really hard to figure out which training was the man on they they should have sent you an email no I have never received we were talking about that day I have never received anything from osba with a username or a password or anything so I've

125not been able to because I clicked on it and have you got anything Mike no no I'll check I mean I I did have to go back after I saw the email from Tammy and dug back through osa's emails and I found an email that gave me my temporary password and log in for last year no for the not the uh not the filing this is just the mandatory board training yeah you because I tried to do it and I have no username or password to get in it okay because I found it right but it wasn't I couldn't get in so I don't reach out trying to figure out if anyway you'll get a generic email password a username and a password to get in and then what's your called osba that's to it's

126not basically once you get in there it's not it's not too bad it's an hour and a half U video now because it's not that's not a live training you just have to watch it and then is there a test afterwards there's not a test but I'm not sure if I did it correctly but you have you're supposed to take a picture of the end of it and then keep it for your records do that just with your with your phone screenshot take a picture with your phone send it to yourself so you have a docu doed that you watched the training okay um I forwarded it to a lease as well just so maybe the board would have a general spot of just sending it confirm that we have the training done yeah if

127they could get us the password and usernames it would right that just came through the um I believe so organ ethics yeah it's been it came out yeah well yeah the information was published on January 14th of this year but starting January 1st of 2024 is when it was officially announced I don't think it's annual it's once once year per term right since all members so even if you watch the training now like like Jan and I and Mike are up for reelection technically you're supposed to watch it again after you've been appointed to the position again okay so so I learned that after I spent an hour and a half watching it I'm like okay now we're g to do it again you know pretty soon or maybe we won't I don't know we

128do anyway is there any more we need to add on that oh SEI needs to be done right I did get that on the the other day too and was able to get into that pretty easily and that so that was good my cell phone I was like oh my God I gotta put all this stuff in there so hard to the cellone once it's already in there it's not so bad the next the next year yeah so so I think that was a mistake last year I was trying to do it on the cell phone no no no no I did it on I was just so I don't know does that send you a notification all when that's been completed or is that I have not gotten one I think that I can

129go back onto my account and see I do you want I printed off my little side sheet do you want us to give you those um let me see if I can access it and then I'll let you know tomorrow but I feel like last year I could access it or either that or they were sending emails of people who had not done it yet I can't quite remember but I on and see and just a reminder that we need budget committee members we're already members have we had any applications no have Martha ask him to volunteer because she's got it figure it out just G like someone not EMP um I don't think so no I don't believe so and I also need to make connections tell Nate I I don't know he's not

130really guy we had discussion if we don't have a budget committee we don't then what do we do and so that's something I need to go to in conversation this week what do if we don't have a budget because we can't be the only School District the way things are going I let just that's my thought process yeah it still needs to go forward budg well yeah maybe just somehow put it up for public comment and make that count gu can we do something with the know the uh text message or the social media side of the school and not just we need someone but to say specific this meeting and this meeting that's all Martha told you yeah we put some up probably Wednesday probably Wednesday or Thursday yeah okay 9.3 principal position posting

131update so it's been about a week almost over a week that we posted the principal position already and just letting you know we have I believe four applicants already um headed down this Thursday to the Oregon job educator spere down at Salem headed out late Wednesday after work and I get up early in Thursday and Sh the alred will be there also and you know good representation with this we got displays and whatnot and any other positions we have but principal will definitely be a position we're be very open and um trying to attract everything are they local or are they from all over uh two are from one's looking at moving potentially if they're interested Alaska um and then one is local another one is from Arizona but was here in the St area

132for a number of years looking to back and the other one I don't remember I think potentially New Mexico or something oh yeah so so new blood yeah okay and one might be from a a gure heart night he quite a PL yeah he's thinking about it okay yeah 10.0 audience clarifications are you planning on trying to hire before June 30th on the so the end date is April 26 28 one those two days uh and then uh put an interview committee together and I am looking for 12 to 15 people so I looking for both administrators uh two board members two board members to be on that team uh and then three certified three classified and then throw remaining with community members and then once we dwindle down to whatever we have then have

133the students take part also walking and guiding and having some conversations with the candidates that was for what sry for the principal position oh so I'm seeing sometime first second week of May to got another four or five more weeks roughly I believe when I think it was when Alice was hired they had a didn't they have a commun they had like three three candidates at the school and open house I don't remember that there was there was something it was Steve then we actually had an entire board meeting the whole board was present I remember something in we had all of the candidates come through the board we had like it was before that though it was like it was a meet and greet with three different candidates with public and they opened up

134the school they went through all the teachers students Y and Alice was part of that she was the superintendent at that time it was big thing with Steve h i mean we a lot of meetings some 1:00 in the morning so we're on track [Laughter] yeah boy I know there was a lot weedings on the other end too so okay audience clarification board of directors time wck well that was great listening to Michael's Garden so next time we have a school bus we can't get rid of is that what you're going to do with it couple years School Bus had your own Greenhouse I was going to give a hard time see how many trucks of water it took to get those FRS going but nice job with it really is impressive keep it up

135oh than that it's good Drew same thing Martha thank you it's wonderful I love the presentation I love seeing the kids up there getting out there getting their hands dirty just doing physical work rather than sitting doing this out there that was great great and ab saw that some reservations were being made for senior trip yes yes that's put on so thank you for that yeah yeah next and hopefully bad weather's gone no more windstorms luckily we can get through the end of the year so anyway and thank you Corey for that hard work on that I just can't imagine the work that is required to keep the school district done and keep expanding the integrated programs I know it is just amazing what they think that everybody's got all this spare time to do

136yeah crazy that's just okay I agree Martha thank you for educating us on what you're doing there that's pretty pretty cool the kids are involved and very very easy to tell you're passionate about it and I agree with Cory when we have people that are passionate about doing these things we need to ride the wave as much as we can so hopefully get some more volunteers and keep moving forward thank you Cory for putting your quite a bit of work this weekend and some emails you sent out I that was time away from other things you could be doing so it goes does not go unnoticed so appreciate that and uh hopefully I think the rest of the board for hopefully trying to go through that stuff this weekend too and preparing for tonight a

137little bit more so that's all I got direct dri uh yeah Marth uh great job um it's amazing my my girlfriend's daughters they go to Newberg High School they're 14 and 15 and I guarantee you if I ask them to go plant a carrot they'd look at you like a deer in front of a Peter I mean just they wouldn't know where to start right and it it would be an absurd amount of of Oregon students that don't know the the basic fundamentals of of you know your basic Garden right and um for us to be kind of Paving that path it's it's amazing right and and we can't let him on that we gotta keep full throtle going on that so good job you win the day for sure Dr saying well I I'm

138excited to see the a program growing with your efforts and um getting those grants and I think in the in the in a 30,000 foot view uh engaging the children creating something they can bring back to school and be healthy and eat this fresh food and getting the construction put into that layed into that um I think it will really all contribute toward all the metrics you're working so hard and both the principal and superintendent and all the staff working so hard to keep the kids in attendance and engaged and and make making their way through graduation and also that the kids can meet and exceed the benchmarks for math and reading and science uh I think that I'm starting to feel a little more hopeful that we can actually get them all there so

139this for me was a great evening of information and combined with your integrated programs um information I just feel like it's a ton of work and yet I feel like it's really is not busy work actually essential building blocks we're getting a great foundation so I feel really hopeful about the future well said okay 12.0 items for future meeting we have a teacher evaluations update and the superintendent evaluation to begin finished wrapped up in April that being said we're going to to adjourn into executive session per 92. 6602 I to discuss the evaluation process of the chief executive take a break yeah we will take a break five minutes I
