Oh, I'm sorry. booster fundraiser approval and I see none discussion items student advisory committees. All right, slideshow share my screen first. Okay, we have been working with a student advisory on as part of our executive functioning kind of building up the student the leadership of their building group. where students have put themselves and kind of
004identified their three kind of their growth areas and their their focus areas. And today wanted to have our board give an update. Our goal is is that um as we move forward with board reps, our student board reps are now going to have an opportunity to review board policies to begin making the student goals for their building and their school happen. So with that, and I told him it did not have to be long or complicated because it was an update. That was my promise. So with that, I'm turn over to Meredith Smith. Um, it's best to stand over here, right? Perfect. So again, my name is Marta Smith. This is Natalie and Cole. Um, and first off, I want to give a quick update about our shirts because when we talked to you last,
005it wasn't like quite off the ground yet. Um, but we have all $15,000, which is very exciting. And, um, we're super excited about that. Um, we're still kind of working with D4 on a shirt design. She hadn't gotten back to me yet, but we've been able to send out um, the shirt size link like Google form to the middle school and the high school. And we're working with PTA to use the fund run sizes as well. And then working with Mr. Smith on the staff send out as well. And we'll get that sent out to staff within the week. Um and then pretty much from there, once we have the sizes, we'll get the final quote. We really are thinking it'll still stay under um 15,000 though. Um, and yeah, after that we'll kind of
006just take off and we should um we want them we gave them an August 1 date, but I definitely think it'll be here before then and we should have them ready to go for the first of the year along with all of our other activities. Um, and currently our Eagle Pride group is working on our move up assembly and that'll be something that we bring back and we're super excited about and just another thing to build up our Eagle Pride and community within our school. Um, with that we will move along to our um, site update. So um, one of our groups was not able to be here tonight and we aren't we were none of us were in that group. Um, but I know that they're working on some projects with our staff a
007little bit. Um, but yeah, I'll leave that to Natalie to talk about kind of Yeah. So, this Eagle Pride committee is different than the people that talked last time. That just just an FYI. Um, we have like a spirit that's like that's like bringback Eagle Pride, I think. And then this is just Eagle Pride. Yeah. Or the student council. The one that we brought in is actually a separate committee that's nothing connected to necessarily leadership or anything. It's actually just a group of students within a committee that meets outside of class time. Um and we're putting together some different stuff. This is for the student um council group. Yeah. And so basically our plans like what we've been like working about I guess is a groundbreaking ceremony for the stadium and a ribbon cutting ceremony
008and then carnival/ barbecue. So it's kind of intertwined with the ribbon cutting almost. And so our purpose is reinstilling eagle pride in our community. That's basically our focus. And um we want to do this by holding more fun events and stuff to kind of get the community and everyone excited about school spirit and stuff. So um how do I Yeah. Do we have a clicker? I just realized. Okay. So basically just tell me a slide and I'll get it. Okay. So this is for the idea for a groundbreaking ceremony. So we kind of want to celebrate the new building of our um stadium. And so basically those are just random bullet points to kind of give me ideas. But we kind of want to have like shovels there and stuff to like break the ground
009or whatever cuz obviously no one's actually going to be doing anything. But maybe like digging a hole just for like fun like a picture and stuff and then yeah pictures with like pretending or whatever you know. And then our current mascot because we want to get a new mascot for next year and so this would kind of be like the last appearance of our current mascot. Um and then like we want to sign something so like you're like a part of it if you were there basically. So like we could sign like a pose that's going to be part of the stadium or maybe we could sign like I don't know. We had a bunch of different ideas but basically something like that. So you're like connected to it and it's like cute and stuff
010and um yeah. Slide. So, we're cutting ceremony. Um, yeah. So, then we would celebrate that our stand's actually there and we'd cut the ribbon and it'd be epic and we'd all get to go inside and we'd have our new mascot hopefully. And we I'm not really sure if this would be during school or after school kind of ma hopefully before a first game. Um, and it would be open to the whole entire community and it should be kind of like a fun thing. We want to kind of start maybe like a barbecue tradition almost for like games and stuff with our new stadium and just kind of have that connected. So yeah, I just think that'd be exciting. Uh I am representing the kindness group and our main idea was to bring eagle feathers into
011all three schools. I know that we did it when I was in elementary school. I'm not sure if it's still going on there, but we want to bring it to the middle school and the high school. The whole overall goal is just to make sure our students are being more kind and it's just a better feeling inside the school. So like teachers can just give out an eagle feather when they see somebody doing something kind, helping a student and all of that. And then once you get some eagle feathers, you can turn it into a teacher or administrator and get some sort of prize like and as you get more the prizes get better is hopefully the main goal. Um, and to add on to that a little bit before Cole moves on, um, for
012the actual like prizes, I know that there has been some talk within our groups of whether or not like I know Mr. Nesmouth, you mentioned something about maybe adding like privileges to the prizes and like as maybe as board members like what do you think would kind of best at least for cuz I think the elementary school looks a little bit different, but I think the middle school and high school they're kind of at a stage where they don't want just some random like little junky toy or something. But um there maybe something more meaningful. Yeah. And so as board members, is there anything that you're like, "Oh, I can really think of this. It would be something that would be appropriate for the students to have and like accessible." Um but I don't know
013if there's anything conversation that as high school students, they're not quite yet and some are adults. So, it was pretty consistent with our summer reading on how can not quite yet with some of them actually being adults earn privileges for that level of I'm now an adult treatment. So, what are some privileges that can open up the doors for more opportunities? Those are my words, not theirs. I think that that definitely gives us something to think about. We'll have to have a little bit of time to kind of mle over a few ideas. But yeah, that's a great idea. That's the point of a student board rep. The student board rep is to look at those policies and have those communical conversations. Um, and also something to consider too is kind of like where we're
014going to pull the money to actually get maybe if it is something that we're buying for students like you know whether or not like at the high school level ASB can support but at the middle school level ASB can't really really functionally support this because it would be you know depending on how we do it but even if after 10 eagle feathers everybody gets a prize that's still something to consider. Um, and so also maybe thinking about if we could pull this out of the district budget, like that's something that us as students doesn't we don't really know exactly where that would come from. Um, or like the best option for that to come from. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and we also to incorporate more assemblies. High school students come to the elementary and middle schools
015to help lead assemblies. Uh partner partnering with make your day assemblies or possibly once a quarter working with these students to show kindness and bring in eagle pride just overall add to the eagle pride add to the kindness in the school improve the environment. Yeah. And we're just thinking that like with these like we don't really get to the high schoolers don't get to come and work with the middle school or elementary school students very often. And like as we were talking about our kindness committee, we were thinking, okay, sometimes it just gets taught and sometimes things students say things or whatever because that's what they hear at home. And so looking at um the younger levels and trying to kind of build the kindness up so that like we can create a better community
016within our school and just ultimately making a better environment for our students. And so bringing in high school leadership or these students from the site council, bringing in these students to um possibly do some assemblies throughout the school year to just work with our students a little bit more. About uh two weeks ago, you said something not the last meeting, but the one before last, which was a lot of our lack of kindnesses is because that's what our students know because that's what they'll see at home. Um, but and we've talked a lot about how we might not be seeing the level of kindness we would like to see, but have we taken the time to show the kindness we would like to see, teach the kindness we'd like to see? And I thought the
017students were really smart on thinking, what does it look like to go show the kindness we would like to see at the elementary school and the middle school and to have the consistency to really show what the kindness we want to look like? And then you said something else that I really liked is is um are you okay if I talk about some of the things you discussed? Um was one of the things you discussed that I really liked was um when you come across a lack of kindness like when the kindness isn't there and students don't know what to say or how to address it or redirect that they don't have the feel that they have the tools. and also teaching students that not just how to be kind, but also what to do
018in the absence of kindness or when we don't see the kindness we want to see being modeled. And I thought that was really really insightful on are we thinking about teaching the behaviors or thinking that we're teaching how we want students to treat each other. Um yeah, so along with that just you know these are ultimately for our kindness group specifically just we came up with these activities to just kind of help bring in bring in some more kindness within our school a little bit. Um and definitely all of these things you know we're still kind of getting started and these there's still for sure some more planning to do within all of these different groups but what do you think incentivewise would be a good incentive? Right. like you're talking about an incentive, not
019necessarily a prize or whatever, but extra privileges. What would be a good extra privilege? I mean, I know this gets kind of no wrong answer, tricky, but I mean, I always love some extra credit, like options like that, but I know that that's definitely teacher preference. So, that gets food time, food, recess time, field, you know, there's all kinds of stuff in there. I know you guys said uh an opportunity to have lunch off campus would be a privilege to have if you got so much points, which wasn't a bad idea. So, I thought that was pretty cool idea at least. I really like the signing the the steel member. Yeah. So, as you know, whatever is going to go into there's a bunch of signatures on it. That's pretty I was thinking if there'd
020be some cool way to um like enase it, you know. Miss Elliot had a good idea of like cards like sign your name on a card and then she said bury it all under her but we could also maybe like Yeah. But like if we could like enase it in the stadium and like all the cards everyone signed and stuff that'd be a really good idea too. They might be able to do engrave sign you know like scratch it on a engrave thing and then you could put it up there and if they had to repaint then you could put them back up. I don't know. I'm just I think be a full I I love the concept of it and um it's very rough draft. Yeah. Like honestly, I forgot about money for both
021of those things. I forgot money exists. But money, but but that's uh in the future. Now, we asked the students to kind of come together. Michael's been down for a few of our meetings to talk about kind of laying out this is how schools work. we really want to build a platform for you to make your own like design what you want for your school. And then the students came back and said, "Hey, we think we know what you're trying to do, but we think we can define it better." And I think that was just absolutely perfect. Because that was the whole point of our work is how can the students tell us, how can you tell us what you want for your campus? So, this is your campus, your school, and how can we
022help you meet your goals. But I do think the student ownership on how they've taken over the project is really starting to match what we had in mind because that's really what we want. We want to make sure I think it really does the onus comes back to us. These are why I wanted we only have two board meetings left in schools out and the next board meeting is the last day of school which is why I wanted to come tonight because I was like there's no way there's no way you're going to come on the last day of school. Um, but I felt like it was good for the board to know what the students want for their school because the best way to show respect you is to have a plan when we
023come back on how we can work together to start making some plans work or how we start pulling things together and how we can support you. So, did you want to expand on the other group? I know you don't probably want to steal their thunder, but maybe just I know the other group is really nervous. The other group wants to run the staff PD day. I know they're really nervous thinking they need the staff PD day planned. They don't need the staff PD planned, but I'll go down and take a visit. Sweet. Um, they have one of these summer institute days to be working on the cell day, the social emotional learning day. The students identified three areas where they want to have teachers focus on building purposeful relationships with students to getting to know
024students and to have those kind of dual two-way conversation exchanges where they get to understand how the students are, you know, how the students feel, what the student ideas are um and and really build a two-way conversation in classrooms. So the students have ideas on what they want their learning outcome to be and they're going to have one of the summer institute days to build activities around those activi those those learning outcomes. I just want to comment that I I appreciate you guys showing up and wanting to ignite a kindness movement and and I'm sure that you're all very aware that it takes living that message to be that example. And so I I appreciate that you're willing to step up and do that and show, you know, there's nothing better than to emulate the
025behavior you want to see from other people. So kudos to you guys. That's a it's a perfect start. It had an original eagle feather. It brought back memories and also showed how old that eagle feather is. I think um I appreciate though that you guys are putting it in the context of uh kindness really out of the context of something you feel proud to be part of is really really hard. It's just like you're pushing something uphill. And I think when you are part of something that you feel a sense of belonging and and just proud to be part of and I think that's the physical space, the emotional space, you know, all all of it. Um it it becomes much easier to to turn and I think you guys are being really wise to
026actually work hard to build both of those things simultaneously. um because I do think they will feed each other well. Um and you know my note that I just wrote down is I'm impressed um with not just but there's a number of students that this is a student generated that you're choosing to recognize the power of your influence. We we can have huge aspirations for what we want the school community to look like and the staff and administrators can but ultimately really the students I mean, you need both. You need staff and administrators that are going to be behind you and supportive of it and that they're just as excited and pumped up about fight song as you all are. I mean, it has to kind of be both. But, um, when you as students
027are also choosing, we're going to use our influence to, you know, really be a a an active voice, not just a kind of passive, but you're actively taking steps. I think it's a huge ingredient that I think we maybe have felt like we've not had in place is kids desperate enough for it and I think you guys are are communicating that you guys are putting your kind of your your money where your mouth is on them. So kudos to not just you three but who you represent. Excited. I love Natalie's. It's going to be epic. And I think that that is a great feeling to embrace is choosing to see things be epic because you really do have that ability. Yeah. Like Yeah. Yeah. We had an assembly and the eagle came out and it
028was epic. Like but my thing that I called it was like epic eagle entrance and then it was epic and it was a really cool matchup. Yeah. We made a screeching eagle sound with what was it? Highway to Hell or something. And I just heard like eagle noises at the beginning and they slowly got louder and then the eagle came out. That's epic. And then everyone was hyped and it was epic. I think they were more active than they ever been their lives. Yeah. Well, so then they're they're going to be hyped for this stuff. They're going to feel the pride. Love it. I love it. Yeah. Do a favor. Do you mind standing by the TV so I can get a photo of your presentation? Yeah. That's a really bad picture. Another one. Yeah.
029Our planned. I like that one. Like pretending like we're talking or just No, no. I'm just really pumped. Um I'm really really really proud of how how epic you all are. My goal overuse epic tonight. My goal was that you had something you were really excited for and now it means the work is now back on us to make sure that we can help make your visions happen. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Are we good to leave? Yeah. You don't need to stay. We could go home and make an epic dinner. That would be epic. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, Epic is off the table for uh audit exit interview review. Epic Epic Epic audit exit review, please. I'm not going to go all the way through this. You
030guys got your reports in your thing. Um just so they it's out there. We did a three-year audit, um accountability audit. We did a financial statement for the 23 24 and our federal program on it. We came through very good on all of them. We had no findings. We did get one um management letter on our gas cards which we are correcting now and we should be good to go for the next sign. But other than that, everybody did great. I'm proud of the financial secretaries. They had everything in line. Candace, she always does a great job. So really good staff. They did good. Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all the hard work. Thanks for being epic. All right. Is there any public comment? Oh, no. Yeah. All right. Unfinished business. Approval
031to adopt policy 6217, electronic funds transfer, second and final reading. I'm going to have a hard time not saying epic after everything. By the way, I'll move the approval to adopt policy 627 electronic funds transfer. Second and we'll second. It's been moved and seconded to approve policy 627 electronic funds transfer second and final reading. Is there any discussion? Seeing none. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed say nay. Motion carries. G. All right. Any new business? None. So reports we have our enrollment report slide in May. Um but generally it's still holding through to our averages to the end of the year. So um about 1632 grand total or FTE TK is holding out. So pretty good. Slide mostly in secondary or slide most. Yeah. And this is pretty common to have
032a slide in secondary at this time. Okay. Anybody have any questions? All right, back to an epic budget report. Right now, our fun balance is about 6.6 million. You will see that drop significantly. We had our end of the year spending going on. Um, so end of May, end of June, we're going to see some decline. I still believe that will end right between 5.3 and 5.5 for a fun balance. Any questions on the reports pretty steady stay in the course. Anybody have any questions? Yeah. uh facilities report. I sent I sent you guys a deferred maintenance list. I was just reading through it. It looks like I have a few people get non matching numbers because I I got updated I got some price quotes like the day of me updating this. So I
033apologize for that. Um the the stuff from Lakeside came back cheaper than we initially believed. So we get quite a bit of paving. I was really surprised in the number like when I saw that I actually was like we missing a zero. I don't think that like if we had drainage and stuff like that. So you know so we would have to figure some for that kind of stuff. Yeah. But that's exciting that that portion is much lower meaning that we could do quite a I mean potentially we could do um a lot more drainage stuff. Right. Um other stuff that I didn't quite add on here yet was like um just some of the graffiti repairs we'll be doing as soon as the kids get out. Like get out, let us fix it. We've
034had some fun in the bathrooms. Thank you Tik Tok and whoever promotes kids destroying things. Oh jeez. So we might be doing some stall partitions, toilets, etc. Just some upgrades. Yeah. No, just Oh, just general maintenance. Yeah. Um, other than that, uh, we have our normal summer stuff we do. I am going to need a wax stripping machine for the high school and I'm working with Lisa on that. Um, other than that, I uh, let's see, the we're pretty close on the permits for the stadium. There's some back and forth with the city and they're working diligently on that. It should be as soon as we get a permit. We'll let you know proceed with that. Um and then the the entry ramp is a separate permit because the projects have been separated out. They're
035focusing on the standing first and that should come shortly thereafter. Um the roofing project at the middle school, we're going to get Harbor Architects involved just because of the price tag of the project. We have to make sure it's done right. Yeah. So I got them on board for that. I've already had uh another roofer come out. He cut a core, so we kind of know what we're dealing with. Um so that should get uh get moving pretty soon. Um and they'll walk us through the bid process so we don't need anything. Other than that, and we're hopeful that'll all happen. Yeah. Summer time. Hopefully. Uh the roof. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. And they don't think there's going to be a problem with that. Yeah. So, I do see a repair um or replacement I should
036say. I on my way here watched a near miss accident at the high school. Our do not enter sign for people coming through from outside, right? Uh schools. I mean, literally, I mean, yes, this way. And there was backup because they're all coming in for the track meet. You can't even tell what it says. We all know, right? It's white. The red and white sign is white. I mean that's is that must be our sign a little bit. It must be because on our I think it's on our sky. Had a bus do it for soccer this year. It's a team that doesn't typically come down here. It was like one of the Olympia schools and they went in a wrong way and I was like how did they make the corner? I think that
037that's a fabulous idea. You don't really see it until you turn in. You do not see it. But I Yeah, maybe some exit entrance. Yeah. And it's confusing. It It is. But watching that I was like, "Oh, well that almost involves four cars." I'll put that on. If I had a swap if if we can get a project going that wouldn't be a bad This city has an extra. We do have the We did give you the quote for the Yeah. Yeah. It actually came in. I wonder it's because we don't have to do as much tear out because when we did our pricing over here it was 10 times that price. Yeah. I don't know. That's crazy. I saw that price. I was like, "Oh, well that's dramatically less than what I got on."
038Yeah. And he was looking at like the parent truck offline. He's like, "Well, it's pretty well you could pretty well just pay right over top of that because it's got a pretty good foundation with the gravel." Of course, he saw it after I drug it, you know, not too It gets pretty quick. Yeah, for sure. be a little work, but he's probably thinking they don't have to come in and rerout everything and do a bunch of work. It's just finishing it up, make sure it's got grade and, you know, it's going to drain and stuff. It see. Yep. So, so yeah, there's it's going to be real busy here this next couple weeks and then hopefully all these projects kind of kick off and it'll be caution tape everywhere and we'll be in good. So,
039that's good stuff. Yeah, it is good stuff. Thanks for the report. Appreciate it. That's epic. That is epic. I should have started the epic facilities report. Okay. All right. Now it's on to us. The order go first. You want to go first, Chris? We had some great performances. We took fourth in softball, picked third in um we took third in uh state golf. And tomorrow will be the departure for our track team as they go to state. So, and I think the big one is is we will not have another board meeting until after our graduation. So, we will all be together at graduation on um June 7th. So, I'm really excited to see our seniors graduate and move on. So, can somebody tell me how we're at the end of the year already? Well,
040they had senior walk today. They didn't have senior walk today. That went well. Good. Good day for it. Yes, it was. I loved hearing the daycare kids get off the bus today because they saw Miss Kinsey and Miss Miley and you know that their their se the seniors that we have on staff and they were like ah in their minds they saw stars you know like big famous people in their graduation stuff and so it's cool to see that the what you hope it does do is inspire them you know about graduation. So for sure to go to school and finish. I don't have anything else. I'm in I'm in senior frame mode. So don't ask me anything. Um yeah, great sports season. That that's that's for sure with all the accolades we pull them
041in. That's that's pretty pretty impressive. I think what it really shows the kids is it's possible. um uh across the league. Actually, Evergreen 1A and TriCo, the Southwest Washington League has dominated the west side has has really been doing really well. So, I think hopefully it inspires all those kids that we can break out and do that because I think a lot of times you don't they just don't think that we can. So, I'm glad to see that we're doing well. Uh it was really fun uh last few times being a part of the advisory meeting sitting in. So, that that was fun for me. And then this Friday, we have some learning walks for a few of us at the elementary school, which should be pretty exciting. That's right. I think Mr. Sprogggin says
042he's got all but two, so he needs two more students, then we'll be all set up. So, minus one. Okay. Unfortunately, so we're going uh 8ish until what time? Friday? I think 11 like at lunch when they go to lunch. Okay. About 11. You might have lunch school if you want to. I just might. Good. Okay. But 11. Okay. Anybody have anything else? All right. With that, we are going to go into executive session for 45 minutes to review the performance of public employee. Uh, no action to be taken. Uh, 45 minutes from now is what time? I'm not even looking at that one. Wait, I think that one's right. 7:20. All right, we'll be out at 7:20. You signed in. I am not. We're going to extend uh executive session for 10 minutes. We'll
043come out at 7:30. All right, we're back. I'll move to adjourn the meeting. A second. It's been moved and seconded to adjourn the meeting. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. All those oppose say nay. Motion carries. Meeting adjourned.
