001Welcome. This is the February 23rd, 2026 Estus Park School District R3 Board of Education regular meeting. It is now 5:15 p.m. This meeting is called to order. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Aaron, please conduct a board roll call. >> Director Fere, >> here. >> Director Kendall, >> here. >> Director Shocket, >> here. >> Director Ritterski >> here. Director Wis >> here. >> Moving on to approval agenda. Board members have agenda before you this time. I'll take any comments or amendment to the current agenda. >> I'd just like to make a comment on the agenda this evening. We're going to switch public
002participation after our spotlight on success so our students get to the band concert this evening. Any other comments? Seeing none, Aaron, please take a board roll call. Oh goodness, I'm going so fast trying to get these students out of here. I forgot to ask for a motion. That's my bad. Can I have a motion to approve the agenda? >> I move that we approve the agenda. >> I second. >> Now we have a motion and a second. Aaron, please conduct a board roll call. >> Director Fere, >> I. >> Director Kendall, >> I. >> Director Shocket, >> I. >> Director Werski, >> I. >> Director W, >> I. Eyes carry the vote and agenda is approved. So, we're going to move on to agenda item three, spotlight on success, middle school environmental resilience team. Miss
003Davis and students, please come up. There we go. Yeah, sorry. This is our actual team. We have a lot of students but because of the band concerts and uh track meeting um but luckily we have three to represent and they'll take it from here and introduce yourself. >> All right. My name is uh Gabe. Um I'll be bringing you to the side slideshow. Slideshow. All right. This is our entire team right here. Um, this is our trip to Cmax where we observed uh their own landscaping and we got ideas for our landscaping and the front of our school. This is our idea for the front of the school that we got from CMX. Um, we have like we're adding terraces and trees and benches and plants and rocks. >> Did you talk about the grant?
004Okay, >> just to give a background on the grant, um CX um is providing a grant for us to do this project. Um we're also partnering with uh Estus Valley Watershed Coalition and a designer out of Boulder um who owns Lusciously Local who specializes in um native vegetation and zeros zercaping and um so this was just a preliminary design. This is not what it's going to look like, but it's in progress. So, this is one of our other projects. Um, adding more signs to our existing ones around the lake and, uh, replacing the existing ones with newer ones. These are student created artwork signs about local wildlife and um, local plant life. Okay. uh small grants for community partnering program for county that >> it's a grant another grant that we got so to help
005with this. >> Okay. >> Um so this is one of the four signs that are out there already that's been there. It's gone on 3 years. So the panels need to be replaced every 3 years. So that's why we're replacing those four as well as adding an additional four. Um, if I go back real quick, that just shows the locations of them. And, um, as Gabe said, that they'll be student created. We did, um, put it out as an art contest for all students. Um, so the deadline is in March, and we'll be getting with our partners and deciding which ones to choose to, um, yeah, to add to this. Do you want me to talk about that too? >> Okay. This is a new one. Um, so Arts for a Park, um, there was
006a a a student, a grad student at CSU that reached out to me about this project that she is spearheading called Respect the Rut. And she just um, we just met like a week or so ago about this. I did put the website in there if you want to take a look. and it's just conservation efforts. Um she really wanted um uh us to get involved as far as creating um educational material for um especially tourists on how to um you know respect the rut and the elk and the wildlife around us. Um so she's created this beautiful website that um she's gathering information. She's actually partnering with the park as well. And um so I kind of just told them about it. So like I said, it's a really ne new project, but in
007the spring hopefully we'll get to go out in the the park and and add to this. And it kind of ties in with our signage as well. So we're going to see if we can just help her out with this. Uh these are some beaver dams uh located at the lower end of Camp Chile off of Fish Creek. Um fun AI generated sign for them and uh and a and a past team that we have worked with at them. We will be going back down to construct ones to hopefully bring the beavers down from farther in Chile so they do not destroy the Chile land. That's it. Any questions? >> Thank you so much for being here this evening. It's really great to hear about all of the work that you're doing. I would just
008like the two other students to introduce themselves if they could please. >> My name is Caitlyn. I'm in seventh grade. >> My name is Ally. I'm in sixth grade. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. And then I was wondering um you talked about several grants that you had. I wonder if um you students have been involved in the applications for those grants or looking at what's required of those grants and you know how the funds need to be used and things like that. Have you been part of that process as well or just the implementation of the projects? >> Mostly just the implementation but we have had a person who helps with grants come and talk to us about the process in which we get them. >> That's fantastic. Thank you so much. Yeah, when
009we did the application, I actually put it up. So, we go by, you know, all the questions and they helped they helped with answering some of it and then Yeah. So, >> thank you for doing that work. >> For that um you know picture of the front of the middle school is do you have any idea on the timeline there or it's still early in the development phase? Um, it is. There's been a little delay because of the high school project with the wall. There was a retaining wall that's supposed to go in and they're actually doing that now. So, our plan has to be modified because of that. Um, and so, but our goal is to um get all of the uh vegetation I mean hopefully by May and start doing all of the
010work. We actually are now partnering with the high school students that are doing the wall and they said that they would do any other kind of work that we need them to do. So, which is great because we were going to have to have someone come in and get rid of some of those really large boulders and stuff. But, um, so it's going to be a really good partnership and uh, CX has been wonderful. They're going to be donating a lot of big stone and and then the vegetation will all come from lusciously local. >> Okay. >> So, they're very excited about working with us. >> Great. >> Thanks. >> About how many hours do you think you guys put in of service for your environmental resiliency goals? I know it seems like a lot.
011We start we start with one project and then it gets out like last year we did the Habitat for Humanity work and um it just someone else will contact us and say oh we need this how about this and they actually were the ones who brought up the middle school the front of the pro um they're like what's going to be done with that can we work on it so I got with Miss Greenway and she's like oh I'd love for them to so they came up with that idea and And then this Fish Creek work has been ongoing. Like I um Gabe said, this was a group of students a few years ago and then that Beaver Dam is so large now that they don't want them impeding in Camp Chile's um area. So
012we did a lot of planting in Fish Creek and Brook Lane um to um help that preservation and then that's where they're going to do the Beaver Dam work. So, it's um we always get asked to do something and we're just mindful about their time. >> And I know you guys got to get to band, but we celebrated you in November when you weren't here cuz um you also were voted the youth philanthropist of the year and got that award in the this winter. And so, congratulations. >> Thank you. >> Yes. Put this down. All right, moving on to agenda item two, public participation. We have one speaker this evening, Sarah Beruchi. Come on up, please. And if you can uh start with stating your name and then you will have three minutes. And don't
013forget about the button sir. On the bottom of the base there's a button to turn the There you go. >> That's it. Got it. >> Thank you. >> Um so my name is Sarah Bertuchi. I'm a parent and community member in the district. Um I'm here today to speak about leadership and community. Educating our children is a sacred charge held collectively by our community where people play various roles. As board members, you have stepped up to a specific leadership role. And I thank you all for your service. Out of my love and commitment to our children, I want to share concerns about this board's fulfillment of your responsibilities to the role of superintendent. I wrote to all five of you on Saturday, January 10th, 3 days after Superintendent Bod announced her resignation to express my
014concern that this board had not made any public statements in gratitude to Ruby. She deserves this appreciation, and I was concerned about the board's silence and the message it sent to our community. It is now 47 days since her announcement, and I have yet to see any public appreciation of her from this board. Because of my experience coaching educational leaders across the country, I can unequivocally state that Ruby is top tier. Under this board leadership, we have now lost two excellent superintendents in four years. I worry whether a future superintendent will have the kind of support from this board that will enable them to succeed. In terms of board engagement with parents and community members, I want to share that my email also detailed my offer to provide volunteer consulting services for a communitywide decision-making
015process, much like I provided when developing global outcomes for this district and multiple other districts across the country. 4 days after my email, I received a one-s sentence response from board president Stacy Farie stating, "I am aware of Superintendent Bod's resignation, and it will be considered at a future meeting along with next steps." I was stunned. Only one response from all five board members, merely stating obvious facts. While I want to very clearly state that I expect no special treatment from this board, I am left wondering what this type of leadership response would mean for someone who had not spent six years facilitating professional development in the district, who hadn't served on DAC, who didn't have my degrees or experience, or who didn't speak English confidently. I felt despondent. Leadership is hard. We all make
016mistakes and I understand that and I will continue to give you my full support and participation. I have three requests. One, a public apology for not yet appro appreciating superintendent Bodie accompanied by your public gratitude for her. Number two, a hiring process for superintendent where stakeholders have true power including representation at the first round interviews rather than conducting them in executive session. and three, a commitment to respond to your constituents input and offers with care and transparency. I am imploring all of you to reflect on the reasons you became a board member and I'm asking you to check in with yourself about how you will be your most courageous and principled selves in your sacred charge to educate our children. >> Thank you. >> I'm doing a similar reflection myself and that is why I'm
017here today. Thank you. Moving on to agenda item four, discussion items. 41, demographics report presentation. Shaina Bingham, Western Demographics, Inc. >> Good evening everybody. It's a privilege to be here. Let me see if I can find my presentation. There it is right there. Is there a presentation mode or just leave it like that on your There you go. Three little dots on the right. >> Very good. Well, good evening everybody. I'm Shannon Bingham. I own a company called Western Demographics. I work all over the Western US doing demographic studies and management consulting and change management for school districts. I've worked for a couple of hundred districts in the last 43 years and um lived in Lions for about 20 years ago for about 20 years until about three years ago and subsequently moved to Salida
018and uh fished here three nights a week. had a flashback this evening of shattering my left hand in the big Thompson about 10 years ago and walking into the ER with my waiters on and uh asking for treatment and being very favorably treated as a wet person. Um but um I feel like I know your community fairly well and um I have a presentation that pretty much um suggest that we will have stable enrollment here for the next uh 5 to 8 years. And um we have quite a few agencies that are working very hard to provide affordable housing that could bring additional families to the community. But nationally, uh, school districts are facing a real once in a century generational change with young families having smaller families or no families at all. So in
019the age category of young millennials and older Gen Z um, young adults, um, the Gen Z young adults, one in four, are saying they have no plan to have children. So we are seeing some real changes regarding what our expectation should be of uh incoming raw material for public school districts. So um uh I have about 20 active engagements right now and with the exception of three we're all looking at declining enrollment circumstances. Um, in Estus Park, we are uh down a little bit. It's not dramatic. Um, but we're down to almost 200 students over the last six years. Um, we are predominantly a retirement and resort community. Um, folks my age outnumber folks the age of your student reps 4 to one. So um we uh have our school age population as a smaller
020percentage of the overall population. So that has some bearing on our ability to grow because of the makeup of the community. Population in all age groups has been relatively stable and has increased recently in the last four years. So we are bringing more folks into town ages 0 through 85 plus but the school age component of that has gone down a little bit. Births have declined in the district during the past decade. We look just like almost every other school district in the state from our from the standpoint of our birth profile. So moms with a Estus Park school district address um we are having fewer babies born every year. So we're counting the kid the children that live inside of the school district boundary whether the parent had a um used a hospital in
021Fort Collins or Denver or whatever. It's all based on counting uh who is local. We are exporting kids. Um we exported 146 this year and we imported um uh about 40 some odd online schools statewide are snapping up enrollment like crazy. >> So Ed reinvisioned Boseis now has 13,500 kids. Um, Goal Academy, which is underwritten by Falcon 49, has 8,000 and Buyer School District is in partnership with six commercial online providers, and they have 6,000 kids in a community with five or 600 people in it. So, it's um kind of a a lopsided situation, but that's happening all over the country. The pandemic familiarized young adults with a couple of ideas. One, that school could be experienced online, in some cases on your phone. And secondly, that um we're very free to move around in
022inside the United States in order to find opportunities that appeal to us. So the pandemic was like a big yachts cup and the all the population were the dice in the cup. We shook it out and threw it back out on the game board. People moved around all over the country. And we're seeing um a lot of Colorado young adults moving to uh West Texas, Central Texas between Leuk Amarillo, Snyder, Texas, San Antonio to Corpus Christi, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Salina, Kansas to Kansas City, southern Idaho, places where housing is significantly less expensive than it is in Colorado. So what we're seeing is a significant change where folks are looking to own a home if they're going to have a family instead of renting a home. So moving to a different region can save you 150
023to $200,000 on an equivalently um uh equipped home and so a lot of young families are leaving. There are a lot of other social factors in play that have an effect on Colorado school demographics right now. Um, and I would say that Essis Park School District has been um as immune to some of that as possible. We are not losing huge numbers of kids to online education. So, you've done a good job of emphasizing the value of a high quality in-person education experience. Your campus is beautiful. Um I live in Salida now and uh we're also one elementary, one middle school, one high school. Um and um it's a constant struggle to hang on the kids. Resort districts in Colorado are not doing well. So um Summit County, we lost between 175 and 200 kids.
024Eagle County School District, we lost a couple hundred. Roaring Fork, we lost 150. Uh Salida, we lost kids on top of building about 275 houses last year. Douglas County School District on top of building almost 3,000 houses lost 900 kids. So even in places where we're adding a lot of new housing, we're still losing children because 99% of the housing stock in any given year is existing housing while 1% may be the new stuff. So, even though we're putting affordable housing online and our municipal agencies are doing an extremely good job of figuring out any way that we can put affordable housing online, we have to put a lot of it online in order to make much of a dent in the student population. Converting hotels and motel seems to be the best way to
025get affordable housing as quickly as possible. buying small um lodging properties and converting it into school district staff is something that we're seeing happening quite a bit. We just did one of those in Durango where we were also down 150 kids. So, um lots going on with change that isn't necessarily new housing oriented. the magnitude of what we have planned for affordable housing during the next five years will only make a small impact on the student population. So pretty much I think we're going to be relatively localized, but because we have retained kids so well and a lot of families are seeing the value of raising children in a community like Estus Park, I think we're probably going to hold on to a stable enrollment, although we will decline at elementary and grow in secondary
026and those will offset somewhat. Here's our population uh over time. Um, we had 11,900 folks back in 2010. We rose up to about 136 in 2020 and we've declined a little bit since then. But, um, the census is not what it used to be. So, the usable moral of this story is that we've probably grown by about 400 people over the past 14 years. Um, we are predominantly a community of older folks. So you see these five-year groups of population and people who are 55 to 59 those bars that have about 1,200 people in each one of those bars those are four times the size of the school age population that's 5 to9 10 to 14 15 to 19 and I was working in coastal Washington week before last and their ratio was 10 to1
027so depending upon where you are um you can be in a community that's even Steven or in one where older residents outnumber school age uh residents and those are our circumstances here. So when we put market rate housing online a lot of it is going to be predominantly purchased by older folks who do not have children. So keep in mind that there may be a perception that we're growing very rapidly, but the demographic story is more complex than what the average person might see. From the Colorado Department of Public Health, our 2024 birth count was 75, up from 52 last year, which was really good news. Um but the overall trend line through that graphic is that dotted line that shows we are more or less on a downward vector and if we look at
028population since or births since 2016 we would be on a slightly more dramatic downward vector than that. Now, birth data is always volatile, especially in a small community like Estus Park School District because of small sample size volatility. Those of you who are statistically statistical scienceoriented will know what I mean by that. We have a smaller group of people. So, a lot of these individual grades and individual birth cohorts are going to be different yeartoyear. Our seventh grade back in 2018 is a prime example of that. So if you look at the bottom table there, follow the 2018 row over to the seventh grade. That was our big grade that subsequently metriculated out of the K12 system and left us with grades averaging 70s something. And across the board in that historical data across the
029bottom you see our average grade is probably about 72 students in an average grade and we have some little grades and some big grades that will affect enrollment as they march through the system. We lost about 11 kids this year. We had 956 in the 24-25 school year and 945 according to CDE in the 2526 school year. So that um brought us down by about 11 kids. And relative to what has happened to everyone else, we did really really well holding on to kids. So that's uh commendable. grade sizes though over that six, sevenyear period, every grade is smaller than it has been historically. I believe this has flattened out. I think the generational change that's going to affect the district has stabilized and the local jurisdictions are working very hard to put affordable housing
030online. But um being somebody that had dinner in Estus Park three nights a week for about 15 years, a lot of folks tell me it's expensive to live here. And so we have to keep in mind that that's going to be something that will be a gatekeeper for young families being able to afford to live in Estus Park. And that's just the reality of our local circumstances. exporting kids. We um exported 146 this year. So, we're up from 122 in school year 2425. What does that mean? That means 146 kids are either in an online experience or they're attending an adjacent school district. So, in that table up above, I'm showing where those kids went and whether or not their setting was in person or online to the best of my ability to read the
031Department of Education's data and divine whether they're inperson or online attendees. Now, we import about 41 kids. Uh we're a little bit down from 51 last year, but our net change is about 105 and those are students uh that we export. Um give and take among Colorado school districts is rampant this year. Everybody's competing with everybody else for enrollment because every child has between $11,500 and $14,000 in their front pocket. 12,000 to 14,000 each. So if we lose a hundred kids, that's a million bucks. So um the the competitive behaviors among Colorado school districts have uh kind of reached a crescendo. Some districts are uh exporting 3 to 5,000 students. So um I work all over the state and I'm seeing a lot of movement between school districts but uh given our circumstances those online
032categories we only lost uh eight to education reinvision Boseis uh we only lost uh let's see our numbers for um exporting kids are are generally pretty good uh eight to reinvision Boseies 13 to buyers 32 2J and that district, their providers show kids taking school on a tablet or a phone. It's disturbing to see uh what they're suggesting in their marketing. Charter School Institute are the state sponsored charters. We lost 12. And then UC Thompson at 11. And uh D49 is Gold Academy, which is an online high school that um claims to be for atrisisk kids predominantly. Uh they are opening drop-in centers all over the state. They uh just opened one in Gley next to the mall. Uh but we're doing pretty well. Um I was uh I'm I'm some of my districts lost
033a couple hundred more than they lost last year as far as exporting kids to online. Affordable housing. We have quite a bit going on around uh the community. the city uh really did uh careful exploration of what they have uh uh coming up for the next five years and what they think is the most realistic between the El Paso County Housing Authority, Habitat for Humanity, and the town government. Um I'm showing probably about 189 units that are currently entitled that will be absorbed during the next 5 years. Now again, if you do the math, that's about 35 units a year, which um isn't really going to bump enrollment very much, but they will backfill the kids that we are losing to generational change. So, as families get smaller, school enrollments are like a galvanized bucket
034with holes in it, and it leaks unless you pour more water into it. So the more water is more new housing, more new affordable housing. These efforts are critical to keep enrollment bolstered in the district by putting as much of this kind of thing online as possible so that our workforce will reside locally, whether they are staff or people that work at Starbucks or wherever. Um, as long as people can live locally, their children will be educated locally and that will keep our numbers up. Uh, wildfire is happening now. The single family detached lots. I think four of those homes were built. There's quite a few remaining, three built, 17 left. the um town houses which are called SFA or single family attached which means it's a one family unit that's attached to a bunch
035of units like a forplex or a triplex. Uh there's 30 of those left. Those are actively leasing now. Fish hatchery is the big project that we think will have some kids. Um I went up there and looked at that. Um uh interesting spot. They haven't really started uh working on that yet, but um the city seems uh very positive about the potential for those units to be constructed during the next 5 years. Smaller projects are listed there as well. I'm sure I've missed a couple. Um, but I tried to give uh all three agencies a solid four weeks to respond to me and I think they um worked hard to give me a credible response. Here are some very nerdy details about some of the developments I just cited. Um, again, fish hatchery 109 units.
036I'm thinking we'll probably have 30 some odd units absorbed a year for the next five years. And that little table, the bottom of the graphic there is the best thinking of staff and me on how those would be absorbed. And again, those are going to fill in some of the holes, some of the water that's leaking out of the bucket when we put these units online and more people who are employed locally will be able to reside locally and will hang on to them and their children. Uh just some quick photography. These are the townhouse units at Wildfire. That's one of the single family detached units in the upper right. Um the um town houses have some sort of an affordable subsidy. Um and I was looking at the rents and they looked uh fairly
037attractive. Um apartment complexes, there's a lot of this that exists now. I helped a friend moved into that apartment complex about 3 years ago. Um those are nice. Um this lower picture, those are being uh constructed now and that was about 12 or 14 units. Um here's some details on fish hatchery. There'll be a combination of rental units with one, two, and a few three-bedroom units. Um, and then the remainder of the 48 will be um attainable sales, which means they will be um subsidized and uh they will be more affordable for families. That doesn't guarantee we're going to get kids from them, but it says that that will be likely that we will get kids from those. Uh then you see Riverside Drive, that's a um Estus Park Housing Authority project and um those
038two are linked together. Um, but I think that 31 new units a year is probably fairly realistic. Here's a um concept plan, site plan for fish hatchery. Uh, onetenth of that is already built. I think based on what I saw in the field, um, very pleasant spot to be. Um, I think once these, uh, start building, they'll be absorbed and, uh, occupied very quickly. It's an incredibly pleasant place to be. I did a low, medium, and high. Um I think we're going to chug along with about 935 uh kids for the next 5 years. Um we will have fewer elementary kids, generational change, small grades that have moved in. So I'm forecasting that we'll drop down to about 391 in that medium basis there. our middle school population will stay more or less level and
039our high school population will rise a bit as some bigger grades move into the system. Uh but that medium basis is what I'm preferring. In a worst case basis, we could uh grow up above a thousand again, but um very few of that, very little of that growth would be in elementary. um some of it would be, but it wouldn't be enough to really bump our uh numbers very much. That low basis, if uh we continue to have affordability challenges and the birth rate drops off, um we could drop down into that territory, which would pull us below 900. And at the grade level, I'm being relatively conservative, but I'm showing a little bit of um little bit of decline. at the kindergarten level, not much. And then you can see um our 12th grade
040is going to be continue to be about 10 kids bigger than our uh kinder. So every year some of that decline will be built in because we will graduate a dozen more kids than we bring in as kindergarteners. So that's my presentation. and I'm delighted to respond to any questions that you may have or requests for further research that you feel might be pertinent and uh thank you for your attention. >> Any questions? >> Go ahead. >> This is a broad question. So looking at the national trend, are we comparatively I know that's hard to do, but statistically can we compare to what's happening nationwide? >> I think we're anomalous in a good way. I think because of the attractiveness of this community, a lot of folks want to live here. The craziness on the
041front range finally drove me to Salida. And um a lot of people see communities like Estus Park is a refuge, especially if you have school age children. Um I drove through three fatalities, three accidents, traffic accidents coming home late from the airport over about a 36-month period, and that was the last straw. So I just said I'm getting out of here and moved to Salida. Now I continue to work all up and down the front range but you know that's not where I sleep at night. I sleep in a community very much like this. And when I interview uh young parents who have moved and I um look at focus group data, they're saying they're looking for places like this. So, I think we're atypical, but I think we really need to pay attention to
042Kinder. And don't be shocked if we have a 50 some odd uh littles year or we have a tiny birth year that comes and hits us. But, um I think the um the attractiveness of the community is going to continue to be our best friend. And the more that you can shout that from the rooftops, the better off we'll be. Because again, we love the children, but every child has funding that keeps our budgets and our programs equivalent to how they're being offered now. And we want to hang on to our level of service. And I've spent my whole week dealing with level of service issues due to declining enrollment in five different school districts. Uh the most profound of which being Anchorage, where we're 92 92 million bucks short. um unexpected. So um uh
043hang on to as many kids as you can, be as competitive as you can, market yourself, promote yourself, small town values, small town setting. Um, and at some point if you start losing kids to online, having your own internal online program may be something that would be attractive because you'll at least keep those kids on your balance sheet as opposed to losing them to Ed Reinvision Boseies Buyer School District or goal academy which are the three big villains in uh enrollment uh loss uh at the moment. I just want to say thank you for the data and I appreciate kind of the summary of a slower decline than we've seen the last couple years and also in the data it looks like we have kind of an anomaly in our current 10th grade where it's
044a very small class and so as they move out all of a sudden our numbers jump up. Yes, >> it's not that they're actually jumping up, it's that that really small class moves out. >> And that's that kind of small sample size volatility. And you know, I'm always careful with kinder sometimes, like in your case, if I were to see 53 kindergarten kids next year, I wouldn't automatically forecast 49 the following year. It's just that it's a little bit of a roller coaster ride, just like looking at your birth data. So, here's your birth data. See how we we zigzag back and forth quite a bit. So you and there's the correlations aren't always perfect. So you have to be a little bit careful when you get down into samples this small. But this helps
045you see that between this year and last there was a 23 baby swing almost 30% as far as the size of that incoming cohort. and those kids will be kindergarteners in 2028. So, you just kind of have to look for a big kinder in that year, but kind of smooth things out a little bit and know we're going down slightly. It's not going to be dramatic. It's not the end of the world, but um we're going to have some volatility as we go along. Thank you very much. >> You're most welcome. It's privilege to be here. >> It's good good to go go home without going to the hospital first. >> Great plan. Moving on to agenda item 42, superintendent council report. Gentlemen, All right. So, this is our January and February report. All right.
046So, at the beginning of the year, we gained seven new members of the superintendent council. So, that will uh allow us to do like more projects and probably get them done quicker because we have more people doing them. Um um the members of our council are Geneva Thomas who's our chair, Micah Bertuchki, another chair, Neva Casease, the social media coordinator, Maya Breezy, another social media coordinator, Kobe O'Brien the treasurer, Noah Webster, the timekeeper, Zia Volani, the notetaker, uh although she didn't move, and Lillian Joerger the normskeeper, Zack Sarda, and Olivia Boon. Um, our focus for this year in superintendent council is to increase school pride and the culture and give the student body a contact point to the board. And currently we are working on strengthening the connection between the students and admin. And we
047have had meetings with Dr. Paris and Miss Greenway and we will have more. >> All right, so the cat chat. This week we decided not to continue with that podcast, but we still do cat chats. Uh like we'll go up to the elementary school and we'll have a little table out there and if they say something about what they're up to or like what they're dressing up for it's Halloween, they'll get a piece of candy. Um we've currently had one cat chat. We were able to gain in insight on the students thoughts about the hap about the happenings in the school and connection with admin. Um we also do we plan the book buddies meetings between the school district. So where like middle schoolers and high schoolers meet with a an elementary school partner and
048we do activities. Um, our current like district-wide activity is journals where we get to like talk the our the students get to talk with other students through journals and it's like a pen pal basically happenings in the school. So, our spring sports are starting up like baseball and track and field uh and girls golf and girls soccer. Uh, the school play was this weekend. um end of some of the winter sports like basketball and then spring break is also coming up in 3 weeks. And then one more thing that we've been planning is our motivational speaker that will be coming in to talk to the entire district and we're bringing in Alex Sheen again because he did such a good good job last time. Um he has he's the founder of the because because I
049said I would foundation which is basically about inspiring kids to have integrity, honesty, and respect. Thanks for being here and thank you for your report. I'm wondering um how many exchanges you have had with the journals and can you just tell me a little bit more about how that's going? Um we've had a couple. We um sometimes it gets mixed up because we have to like bring them from elementary school to high school and sometimes they get lost or something. But yeah, we've done I think we brought them I think we've had the high schoolers write in them and then we brought them down to the elementary schoolers to see for them to see and then I think they're writing them in them right now and then soon we'll deliver them back. What's the next
050um Bobcat Buddy activity that you're going to do with the students getting together? >> Um well, it's going to happen pretty soon, we think. Um but I don't know exactly. >> Field day. >> Oh, yeah. We had Oh, yeah. So, we reached out to do a field day uh with the three elementary school uh PE teachers. We asked them if they had any equipment. Miss Wharton kind of said she's all on board and ready to go. Uh, but I haven't heard back from Coach B or from Mr. Davis yet. So, I'm waiting for a response for them, but hopefully they'll respond soon. Uh, I might reach out to them a third time. And I guess, you know, just trying to be patient with them, you know, I know I know people are busy. Don't want
051to be a bother. >> Day will be great. It'll snow. >> Yeah. for the uh Alex Sheen day. Do we know is that going to just be high school students seeing that or also middle school or what what ages? >> Um I think we're doing um a separate one for high schoolers and then another one for middle school and elementary schoolers. I'm not sure though. We might be doing a separate one for each school. >> Not elementary. >> Okay. So it's middle and elementary. Okay. Yeah. So we'll do the two separate um speeches. Do we know with when him with him already coming once, does he change his message a little bit? Um, I'm not too familiar with Alex Sheen, but I'm pretty sure he would have the same overall message. You know, a very
052encouraging kind of lifting us up sort of message is what I would highly expect from him. >> He scheduled a phone, a Zoom call with you guys. Yeah, >> you'll be able to talk about that when you have that meeting with him. >> I think since the last time he came, it's probably like developed more, his speech has, and like his foundation probably. So, he'll probably talk about the new stuff that he's been doing, but like he said, it'll probably be the same message. It might be kind of interesting to see um what kind of feedback the kids have who did you know hand out cards and things like that and you know about keeping their word and it might be nice to kind of incorporate some sort of activities on that. Thank you. Moving
053on to agenda item port three, superintendent report. Superintendent Bodie. >> All right, good evening everyone. I want to start my superintendent report by welcoming Chris Douglas to our team. You might notice there's an extra person on on the dis today and that's Chris and she has started training with us. There will be three weeks of overlap where um she will be learning all the things and tonight she's learning all about the DAS and how to operate it and run board meetings. So, um, we're really grateful for her to come on board. Aaron's last day with us will be the 13th of March. And so, welcome Chris. >> She'll be my new executive assistant and then secretary to the board of education. Um, all right. So, updates for facilities so far. At our combined master planning
054committee and long-range planning committee meeting, we had that February 9th this month. Our architectural partners at RB PlusB, they guided the group through a structured feedback process. We pretty well spent the entire meeting, nearly an hour and a half to an hour and 40 minutes, um, looking and giving feedback on about eight different conceptual designs. They're going to take all of those reactions and all of that input and gather all of those ideas and possibilities and they are going to work on pairing that down to fewer options to get more feedback part of the process. So now they're synthesizing that feedback. They're narrowing down those concepts to more refined ideas and concepts and then they'll come back again with those. Their next meeting will be this next month. It's March 9th I believe. uh this
055first week of March, they'll be meeting with that smaller master planning committee, which is a subgroup of lots of members from the long range planning committee as well as district staff. So, they'll be meeting with us this week to share the results of that. But in addition to those meetings, they also met with 25 students. Were you guys involved in that? I don't think you were there. Yeah. They had gathered high school students, middle school students, and elementary students. And there were 25 that came to the boardroom. They met with the architects and they did the similar feedback process. They shared what matters most to them and shared that with architects. So they consider that student input in their redesign of the buildings on campus. Their input would al was also laid out so the
056adult members of our master planning and longrange planning committee could see the student feedback. We also have four student reps on that committee too. Um and so yeah, lots of lots of feedback is going into all of this process right now. We're in the middle of it. We're also going to be developing a dedicated page on our district website where community members can access updates and track our progress on the facilities master plan. So, that's under construction right now and we'll be unveiling that soon. On February 12th, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment conducted an inspection for our preschool plan program. Our ParkPlace preschool is actually what our preschool is called. I don't know if you knew that. They have their own name. And so we're pleased to say that our licensing recommendation
057was approved by them. The inspection did identify several action items for improvement that we're working on right now. That includes adjusting the sink water temperatures to meet the 85 degree Fahrenheit requirement, updating our rating radon testing, which is scheduled already, and submitting a formal plan to ensure sanitizer ratios are regularly monitored by all of our custodial staff. So, we appreciate our preschool staff and our custodial team over at the elementary building for their continued diligence in meeting the requirements to operate our preschool program, and we're happy that we were approved. For finance updates, through the facilities master planning process that we're undergoing, we've been advised to pause plans for the full locker room renovation this spring. You may remember we had set aside I know we're going to make some updates, but not the full
058the full shebang. We um you might remember we had set aside I don't know if it was 1.6 million in our um capital specifically a high number for this project. The money's not going anywhere and we're still going to be renovating all of our facilities with this master plan, but right now they think it'd be wise and fiscally responsible to delay the major renovation until we have a clearer long-term direction for our entire campus. But we will um capital funds that are budgeted instead of proceeding with a full renovation at this time, we'll complete some of those those necessary lowcost improvements to address immediate improvements that can't wait like bench replacement and things like that um that we just really need to put an effort into repairing or fixing or updating. But with that said,
059it opens the possibility of allowing us to relocate remaining capital funds towards some other emerging deferred maintenance needs across the district that have arisen like sprinklers breaking last week at the elementary or maybe that was the week before and those things that come up. Um so that gives us more wiggle room for family and community engagement. We concluded our guiding good choices parenting classes last week. This program is funded through our partnership with the prevention research center at Colorado State University and it's paid for by the opioid abatement money that our county was granted and then gave to schools. So the program was positively received and we're really grateful to all the parents who committed their time to participate in the classes and also thankful to our staff members who got trained and delivered all
060of that coursework. Stacy Fair, Carla Delgado, Patrice, Pat Patricia Roundtree, Kayla Downey, Sunundy Peach, Kim Learand, and Stacy Showenberger. Um, Sundy and Kim really put together the schedule and worked to get it catered and had food for the families and took on a big role there. So, we're really grateful for them. And then we also appreciate Poppies and Mama Roses for the meals that they provided. I hosted a coffee and conversations at Ravens Roost on February 12th. These are informal gatherings that just provide an opportunity for open dialogue with community members. The next one will be held at the senior center on April 7th at 11:45 a.m. Additionally, you might have seen I published a midyear strategic plan update highlighting key data points that we monitor as part of our continuous improvement efforts. As part
061of our strategic plan, we have specific data that we consistently monitor. And at midyear, we pull that data together and I give an update. As I shared in last month's report, I remain incredibly proud of the progress that we've made and our data reflects this progress and really appreciative of all the efforts of students, staff, families, and the broader community too for supporting our schools. As far as focus area highlights, we approach the end of third quarter. We're preparing for spring break. We only have counting this week three more weeks until the end of our third quarter. The school year is moving really fast. And so because of that, our students, right, our schools right now are preparing the students for upcoming studentled conferences. This work directly aligns to the two key priorities in our
062strategic plan, making learning real and relevant and strengthening student ownership of their learning. So they're working to put students as leaders of their learning to talk about their progress and their skills. And you guys ready for your student led conference? >> You will be. They will be in two weeks. Those take place the week before spring break. and that's when they got to be ready for them. So, they provide that intentional opportunity for students to reflect on their progress, self assess their competencies and skills, and then communicate that growth to their parents and teachers. And then parents and teachers get to ask them questions. Uh research consistently shows that when students self-report their learning and set goals, the impact on achievement is really significant. So, that's why we do this and they get to put
063their global outcome competencies on display. So, we're just really proud of the overall progress of all our students that they continue to make academically uh and toward the global outcome skills. And that's all I have for today. Thank you all for supporting our schools. >> Oh, I'm Thank you. I do have one question about the temperature of the water. Do we need to bring it up to 85 or down to 85? we need to bring it up. So, it was a little bit too coming out of the faucet's a little too clo and so we've already ordered the parts to repair that and Adam Eric Adams is on top of that. So, we have until uh I think the end of March to resolve those three items. >> Thank you. I just wanted to make
064sure there wasn't a scalding hazard present for the children. So, thank you. >> Um, Ruby for the locker room and scaling that back a little bit. So, you had mentioned benches. I know there's some ADA concerns and then also the urinals in there. So, have you has have we decided which is in which is out? >> Yeah. >> So, we really need to get the urinal repaired and to the right height for ADA accessibility and a stall that's ADA accessible. Um, we are going to reach out and see if that new accessible bathroom that we built, remember we did that renovation, that may be sufficient to count as an ADA accessible because it's in such a close vicinity of the locker room. So, we'll we'll wait for an answer on that one. The other thing
065that we need to do is there's a concrete lip on the shower and so it's not our current showers in both the girls and the boys locker room is not wheelchair accessible and then we want to update just some of the showers. um redo the curtains and barriers between the showers, do some some of that that's more lowc cost rather than completely renovate the entire locker room and the lockers, um which is much more expensive. So, our priority is to be in compliance with that ADA audit. We do still have four years to be in compliance with that, but that's our our priority. And then just updating some of the real wear and tear like um the benches. I'm told by the athletes that that they are they just they need to be um sanded
066down. They're getting slivers from the benches. So, we need to do some repair there. Either replace or repair. So, we'll work on those minor things rather than do the full renovation, which um you might remember a couple years when we got some quotes for what that would take was about 800,000 for a full renovation of all the bells and whistles that we wanted and then a lower cost of like 500 to 600,000 for um not as beautiful lockers and not as beautiful benches as we wanted. So that's the range, but that was 2 years ago. So I would expect, you know, a million dollar renovation or so now to do the whole thing that we want to do with more storage and and all the things. So Ruby on the renovation, we'll hold that money
067for the capital funds that we're intending to use for the renovation now that we put it on hold. >> Yeah. >> As opposed to reallocate it to something else. Brian will talk about that when he does our final budget. But it opens up because we can reallocate we can once we do our end of year budget and then we could roll over. We could we can still keep that money in our capital. But also for these emergency things coming up, it allows us to we can spend down some of that to meet these immediate needs. And then we do when we do our next year's budget, put that money adjust money back into capital to cover it. Yeah. But it allows us to respond to some of these immediate things that are coming up. >>
068Thank you. Other questions? Nope. All right. Thank you. Moving on to a um where are we at here? Moving on to agenda item 44, administrator reports. Miss Miller and Miss Greenway are both attending the band concert this evening. So, their reports are available online for public to review. And Ruby, will you share the athletic report? >> Yes. I I love sharing the athletic report. Keeps me informed. Um, girls basketball for high school. We'll start with high school. We've got some celebrations of a lot of students in this report today. And I'm going to apologize in advance for if I pronounce any last names wrong. So, the girls basketball team, there were there's four and 15 on the season, and the team's competing really well in every game. There's a been a lot of really close
069nailbiters with the girls team. The team is led in scoring by Marley Davis with 11 a little over 11 points per game and Abby Wattry with eight and a half rebounds per game. Jaylen Arnold leads the team in assists with 2.6 per game. Marley Davis is sixth and Abby Wattry is 15th in the league for scoring. Abby Wattry and Cla Hawker are ranked sixth and 12th in the league for rebounds. Jaylen Arnold is ranked 10th in the league in assists and the team will compete in the mile high league tournament Thursday and Saturday. Playoff qualification is unlikely, but the future of the girls basketball team is looking really good. Uh we're going to miss our seniors and celebrate them. Madison and Marley Davis who have been carrying that team for four years. They've been dedicated.
070Boys basketball is six and 13 on the season. The team is led in scoring by Isaac Hill with 13.4 points per game. Finn Smith leads the team with 10.1 rebounds and four and a half assists per game.

Finn is ranked six in the league in rebounds, third in the league in assists, and second in the league in blocks per game. The team will compete in the Mile High tournament tomorrow, Thursday, and Saturday. playoffs. Playoffs uh are not looking possible for the team, but we hope for a solid finish in the season to go into next year. And we will miss our lone senior on the team, which is Isaac Hill, who led >> for four years. So, girls swimming

Um we went over data for the midyear and we also um went over the um perspective um surveys. In addition to that, I have something I need to
076share. I love all of y'all. It is a privilege to serve with each of you. Dear Estus Park School District community, it is with a heavy heart that I share my decision to step down from my role as a member of the board of education of Estus Park School District effective February 24th, 2026. Recently, a member of my family received unexpected medical news that requires my full attention and care, and I must prior prioritize supporting my family during this time. Serving on the board of education has been truly one of the greatest honors and joys of my life and my educational career. I have been welcomed and embraced by this school community in ways that I never have anticipated. I'm deeply grateful for the trust, collaboration, and kindness that I've experienced from so many. I'm
077incredibly proud of the work that this district has accomplished and confident in the important work that will continue on behalf of our students, families, and staff. While this decision comes sooner and more unexpectedly than I had hoped, please know that it was made thoughtfully and with great care. Life is a series of moments and I am thankful, so very thankful to have shared these moments of my life with each of you. Thank you for your understanding, your support, and for allowing me the privilege of serving this remarkable Estus Park community. Your thoughts and prayers for our family are greatly appreciated. with deepest gratitude. Ava Kendall, I love y'all. Thank you, Ava, for all your service on the board. And we love you. You're very appreciated and we understand. And that understanding and respect is something
078that I've seen throughout this community and this district and we need to be sure that we continue to embrace that. Ava, we started together a little over four years ago. It's been a privilege to serve with you. We've learned a lot, been through a lot, and uh I wish you and your family well. Thank you, Stacy. We have been through a lot and we have grown a lot. >> Y >> and I'm appreciative of your service with being president. >> It's a lot of hours. >> Ava, I'm really sorry to hear this and I do understand completely. um your heart and involvement and sincerity will be truly missed on this board. Thank you for all you have done for the district. >> Yeah, thank you Eva for all the, you know, time and dedication to
079the district and all you've taught me over the last few years. Thank you. And I'm not leaving permanently. I have to kind of disappear for a little bit. Um but anyway, a day at a time right now. Thank you, Director Shet. All right. Kind of hard to follow up on that one. Um uh so the committees that I had um gone on for the last month was the finance committee where we had talked through some of the things happening at the state level and and looked at that. um per usual master planning committee and um as as Ruby said make continuing to make progress on that. Um we also went to the family math night at the elementary school which again is one of my favorite events with so many families coming out um for
080a great event. Um and then also the high school play. I I see Robin over there who was very funny. So uh yeah, great great play from the high school team. Um, next I realize that this is Aaron's last board meeting. So Erin, also, you know, thank you for all you've done for the district, for the board. Just a big thank you overall. And also Chris, welcome to the team. Looking forward to working with you. Um, and then last thing to say about the uh, superintendent search. Um, we have three days, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday coming up where HYA will be in the district. They have sessions in the morning, they have sessions in the evening. lots of opportunities to um share your input in person or in the online survey. So, please take advantage
081um for everyone in our community on that. That's all I got. Thanks, >> Dr. Rerski. >> Yeah, I went to the financial too and that was very interesting how everything works. It was kind of mindblocking. It's going to take me a while to get to find out all this and I enjoyed the play very much. We went to that and I just what gets me is how can you you had to think all your lines through that whole hour and a half. That was that was amazing. And I like the way you guys uh performed because you acted the way they should be acted. I mean you you you made the character come real and that was that was an awesome play. I I want to thank Erin. You helped me so much when I
082first started and you you helped me and got me going and I really appreciate it. I really appreciate it. And I don't haven't met you much, but what I have met you, I really like you and I'm going to miss you a lot. Director Wis, >> I have nothing to report because I missed the secondary schools accountability meeting. Um, Aaron had sent me an invitation, but I uh in January and I somehow it fell off my calendar, but that opened up a conversation with Sonia about communicating um more about the secondary schools committee meeting and how we're getting the word out and making sure that everyone knows and uh making sure that these meetings are not an afterthought for any of us. So, we did have that conversation. Um, Erin, thank you for stepping into
083the role of board secretary and Ruby's assistant. Um, you did so much for that position. You did a lot and I want you to know that it was greatly appreciated and that the foundation that you built is going to continue on, you know, even as you continue on. and I wish you the best always. Thank you. >> And for me, I attended the district accountability meeting and we discussed uh the discussion focused on the dis uh district perception survey which is only improving. So, I'm so appreciative of that. Um and Aaron, I've known Aaron for ever it seems like. Uh taught my kids and knew as math teachers and now is this role. and it's just been so much fun to work with you and know you over the years and all your hard work
084and dedication and um it shows every day and what you put in and what you've brought and the changes you brought to this position has only helped this board become better and that's in thanks to you. I appreciate that. And Chris, welcome. Excited to start working with you. Oh, Aaron, this is hard. Wow. You've had you have added so much to my life >> both personally and professionally. There are very few people that I know that know how to listen. They like to listen to themselves more than they like to truly listen. And you are that person. You have so many wonderful attributes that have contributed greatly to our school district, to how you have worked with Ruby. I have seen both of you in action. I think that somehow or another we need to
085find skis during winter season and rollerblades during the summer to be able to keep up with y'all and all that you do. I mean, you are moving constantly and covering so many areas of our district. You you're everywhere. Not many people know this and I'm going to go ahead and share, but just on a personal note, um I have a huge Christmas tree and Aaron came over to my house and helped me get it down. I couldn't handle it by myself. She's just that type of a person. She's a giver. And a lot of people are their conversations revolve around me me. And I don't see that in Aaron. She has a heart for sharing and giving and caring for others. I've never heard her call attention to herself or want attention drawn to her.
086And I know this is hard for her to sit and listen to this, but it truly needs to be said because she's the person that has held so much together in our district. >> And not just in the office, but I know she's affected our kids' lives. Teaching is is a hard job, but it's a job with heart. And I didn't know you as a teacher, but just knowing you as a person, I know that you have that heart for teaching as well. And that you have grown and given such a wonderful positive influence in all the lives that you've touched. And I wish you the best because I could keep going on and on. Y'all know me. But I wish you all the best with whatever your future holds. None of this was on
087the agenda. >> Seriously, >> but it needs to be. >> Yeah. >> Well, we do get to say it all again at a work session tour. So, you can you can write up what you want to say at the work session. >> Moving on to agenda item five, consent agenda. There are three items on the consent agenda this evening. 51 meeting minutes January 13, 2026 and January 26, 2026. 52 202627 school year calendar. 53 February 2026 personnel list. Are there any items a board member like to pull from the consent agenda for discussion prior to approval of the consent agenda? Seeing none, is there a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda? >> I move that we accept the consent agenda. >> I second. We have a motion and second. Aaron, please conduct
