My kids get that opportunity. >> I was just publicly thank something to say. It was all worthless. >> Sad to see you. [applause] >> Anybody else? Um, I would just recognize that we held um a couple weeks ago the um music solo and ensemble here at for the first time that first I don't know if it's the first time we've ever held it here, but the first time in a long time that we've held uh solo and ensemble here and um we had schools from around uh the area come and compete and um our students did a really wonderful job and then the day
005itself was really well organized by our middle or our music teachers um John and Eric. So that was a really great day and then our students um did really well with students um ling on Tuesday. >> Cool. >> I was gonna shout out Maline Lake and our services, student services team. We hosted a community mental health night for the first time on March 26th and we had 11 vendors come. We had outside speaker talk with community members and parents um about fostering youth mental health and we had about 60 community members come. So ser resources and then hear a presentation. So very well received. Shout out to organizing that. [snorts] On to reports >> they're just okay. So that I can present. Okay. Uh safety plan. You don't have to open all the attachments later.
006But first thing I just wanted to let you know. So in every classroom, in fact, you can see the one in the library. There is one of these somewhere near a door or near the teacher. These are our safety that we have. And we update these almost every single year. Um but this year we we were doing a little bit of a major renovation and um we're using a new resource. this resource right here from an organization called I love you guys. If you go and check this out, you'll find out that their story. Um it it was a couple that their daughter was killed in a school shooting. They formed this organization and they compiled all these resources and they're free to schools to use um as well as some other organizations. So that's
007where this is coming from and one of um one of the resources that they have there is a is a book or guide um that that includes every type of emergency or major emergency that we might deal with and how we might handle it. And in the guide, it literally provides what you would say in your public address, um some of the actions that you might do, drills that you might do in the future or ahead of time. [clears throat] And then um sample messages out to parents. And this one is if the hold is during the school, if the hold is at the end of the day, um you know, if the all of these if the situations with tools for our staff teams in the different types of emergency situations with the guide
008and then they there's also a lot of posters. This is an example of posters. You can see hold. What we do if there's a hole, secure, lock down, evacuate, shelter. Those are the major actions that you take a lot of different scenarios. So, that's just the new resource. So, I took that resource and I integrated it into our safety plan. So, right now, you know, some of the things that you're going to see in yellow haven't been added, and I'm going to ask for the board's approval to to approve this plan resources added into the plan. So, you can see that on the first page, those terms hold lockdown, evacuation, and shelter are added so that we know those are the words we use in different situations. Um, you go through this plan, you'll see
009that And we didn't use um we didn't have some of these same terms so I added it in medical emergency evacuation. This is used in a bomb threat. Um hold or evacuation might be used if there's a hazard depending on the type of situation it is. Um this next edit is just representing all the work earlier in the year. You had a report from our uh um services team that developed our crisis response um that's been added into here. Just kind of paging through. You can see for the lockown lockown or evacuation shelter used tornado of courseic. [clears throat] There's a lot of different options. So this is if there's a threat to person depending on what that is might be or we might be just again all this is is an update using another
010resource language once this is approved by the board and I can share this with all of our police officers or sheriff's They know what you can go through. You know what we do? >> So, you do drills on quite a few of them anyway, but now we just need to this language. [clears throat] I think one of the biggest what's the difference much more heightened feeling to hear that oh sechood We want to get that language police officers. We want everybody. >> I know the safety plan will not be on the school website, correct? Will it be available to receive the budget? Yes. >> So, you don't want >> you don't really want public to know our evacuation processes. >> So, we need for a motion. >> Okay. So motion to approve the updated safety
011plan. >> Second discussion say I >> Mr. R we [clears throat] have this um that time of year to talk a little about what's happening on around the school. So I'm going to jump around a little bit hear a lot of things but I usually start with this one. I want to again tell you um in a short presentation I'm one of our pillars. All right. So the first thing um is just making you aware of act 95. We're celebrating the 250th anniversary of signing the Declaration of Independence and um our our state legislature are ensuring that we're talking about that in schools. So that's a conversation. And so uh each of our schools is going to do something to recognize that um to talk with our students and to celebrate that. I've already talked
012to some of the history department high school has this plan involving doing some videos putting it out there partnership that they're really excited about it. Uh each each building will have a different take on it back to the state. We're in great shape. These people over here are already working on that. So you're aware if you see things pop up that that we are doing that preac and [cough and clears throat] act. We've kind of come over the hump of that. We're on the other side. We have a few makeup tests to still do. Um and before I dig too much into it, I I want to mention because this is a conversation at my house. I have a junior. We talk about standardized testing. And she said to me, "Well, that test doesn't tell
013anyone that I learned how to weld this year. That test doesn't say that I I learned how to change oil on a car in one of my classes." So you're right. You're right. This is a different tool. This tool gives us other information and you wouldn't dig a hole with a rate. So those other ones, this tool is help with our standards and our academics and those core areas. So I want to say this is not a representation of our students and all the wonderful things they can do with regard to human beings, but it does give us a picture in our academics and what we're doing as a school. Uh this year for ACT and preACT, we did some preparation going into it. Um, our juniors had an ACT prep day. Uh, for the
014day we scheduled, we both teachers, they worked with students on testing skills, on the content area, kind of got them ready for that, uh, that assessment with our freshman and sophomores, which is the freshman, apologies. Um, uh, we did things more during your ELT or extended learning time. We could take the class, we pulled them into the merit center. We had different content areas talk about what it means to take this test, what things they need to focus on. Uh so that was uh a little bit of a change. We had all groups freshman juniors test on the day of March 17th St. Patrick's Day. It went extremely well. Very few issues. Our tech department on hand ready to go. Testing very results are coming in now. Later on in the spring we'll talk to
015you about that data. All that stuff is still populating. So that was the student side. Then we have the adult side and a lot of kudos go to Mr. Oliver on this. Um he had his staff with the staff this fall the standards that are in the ACT. Like what is the ACT asking for? Because this is the assessment the state um asks us to give, requires us to give, we should be meeting the standards the state has out there. So his all his teachers went through all of the different standards with spreadsheet set up that have designed and altered. We talk about in each area, a content area, do you cover that standard? Are we exposing gaps? Where are we missing things? Where are things not covered? Where are things covered too many times?
016Uh so his team has been going through that working through process involved middle school and some of that look at some of those standards at an earlier level. um to just make sure that we are teaching what the state of Wisconsin and I new teachers it's almost the end of the year for our new teachers and we celebrated together that's this picture down here in the corner we had cake we celebrated their first year together uh the picture up in the upper left that was their first day we had uh one of their first days of the new teaching service we went out to golf course and they had lunch there that's how we started so they are August day, not know what they're getting into. Here they are veterans of our school district. Um,
017and we had a good group of staff and we wanted to know for them how did this work for you? What we do? Is that helpful? And so we did a survey. I'm just going to give you some highlights of it. We have a lot of we asked them to write a lot. There's a lot of comments we're sifting through. But out of our new teachers survey, 100% felt they were very supportive in their first year. That was huge. That's what we want. We want to know that our new teachers feel like questions. New teacher inservice days. This year we went to two days. We have so much to talk about. We said we can't just do it one day. So we just asked about that. A2 felt that it was very useful. We got
018some great feedback. What we could change, what was maybe too much, what they need. [cough and clears throat] And then my concern bottom left is relative. So we had four brand new teachers. And this means they've never taught before. never taught in a district and they meet with me once a month uh after school and we talk about what's going on and just make sure that things are another checkpoint all right this year was interesting because there was one classroom teacher then three people part of people's services so it wasn't like having a group of classroom teachers together that 50% I think I'm going to talk to each one of them is that I maybe have a hard time navigating helping those people service team members not make sure that so I'm going to do
019some questioning some asking because that may happen again and I want to make sure we're that times and then our mentor program which we've continued to mold uh and change um we know that that's part of the success if they're meeting with someone else uh that they can talk to and they can get help from that they're more successful 62% that monthly which is what we asked for we asked them to meet at least monthly 25% were weekly there was an occasion in there. So we are very satisfied with how that goes. It's a big ask for our teachers who are quite time more information to stick through lots of comments that they gave us and we're already starting to plan for this already know what's going to happen this summer. Elementary ELA resource. You
020guys are probably getting tired of me talking about this. We're getting towards the end here. Uh we've narrowed it down to three resources that we're looking at. There's a group of us that were uh Friday up north of here looking at one of the programs, observing it in action. Um back with lots of questions, lots of answers. And next Monday will meet as our ELA team, which is made up of a representative from every grade level in the area. And we're side by side staff ask the staff to see where they're at. We're looking for something that's continue the work that we're doing science reading systematic. We're looking for you know we want in some ways that makes it difficult because our team is very specific. they really want to do the best which is
021really that's where that work is at uh I thought I'd mention collaborative teams so this is our Wednesday and we we have early release for students uh our our teaching uh our teachers are getting together and and they're working together and you may not always know you like wonder like what is what's going on during that time what they're doing is they are looking at data they're sharing ideas they're planning ahead they're trying to that that time the kids in the classroom is is maximized. And just from my side of watching this where we started a few years ago having Wednesday release um teams needed a lot more help. What do they need to work on? Uh what should they be doing? What goes on their agenda? They all have agendas. I'm at the point
022now when I meet with the leaders of these teams, they say, "Please don't give us anything. We have such a list of things we want to do. We know what we need to get done." They have really taken off on their own. We get to facilitators. As admin, we get to step in, we get to participate, but they have just taken off. We started a 612 group, so we do a line, our middle and high school, and those crews have been phenomenal. What they're doing together is just great work. So that time after school is so precious on those Wednesdays. I'm not going to say much about this. We're just doing a little preview for next month before the board meeting. We're hoping to come a little early. Our rise, which was left power, is
023a group that Rob Kroski has started um tied with technology, but not just technology, but innovative teaching and learning, giving our students the edge over other people. Um but he's building leaders with him. So he has this group right now about 10. And um we're going to work with them program. They're going to become leaders. They're going to help their peers. He's going to another building. So, uh it'll be in the PC lobby. There'll be food if I can temp with food next month today right before that meeting walk through. It's kind of like a science fair. >> Is that the right date? >> Oh, it's probably not the right date. It's the right date. Whatever that Monday is not >> 11th. >> Yeah, it's the 11th. Go back next slide. >> Okay. Just thought
024I'd >> Good. We look at that stuff over and over. I just wanted to share with you some of the work we're doing as an admin team. We ask our teams to set goals. We set goals ourselves and we set a lofty goals for ourselves. It's on the right. Um end of the 256 school year scores according to start will increase from 63.5% proficient to 68.5. We're asking 5%. That was our goal. And it's actually a lot to do. You might loy spring to spring because that's harder. We could have done fall to spring. We could have taken the easy route and we did because we got that summer slide that happens. You can see here these are our students. Same students spring of third grade here fall, right? Spring of third grade and the
025fourth graders in fall. Same students. How many students were tested? How many were proficient? Uh and then what the change is change in number because every kid's an individual. We don't want to just look at a percentage. We want to look at how many kids. So we saw some summer slide this year. Actually a little more than we saw last summer. and you were a little bit like we've been doing a lot of stuff in summer school trying to help build that. So now we're talking about what else can we do? What do I use to be happy and help kids in the summer continue to learn and not have that slide? Because if you look at when they're with us from fall to uh fall to winter performing quite well. We have some areas
026where it dropped and we can dig in. We've already dug in some of those. You see yellow some reasons behind that where we move kids isn't represented. efficient moving from the lower area up. Um but we've had some phenomenal phenomenal growth. If you look at our second grade now they had data from the spring star first graders but they had 12% 14 more kids third graders total from 25.4% % higher rock and roll. And I met with the third grade PLC leader today. I said, "Let's talk about it." And she could say like, "We're working on this with our writing and we're just laser focused on this. We're going to keep doing it till every kid gets it." And and they're just they're relentless. They are relentless in their work to make sure all of
027our kids are just reflecting. So, you know, we have them here. We're moving together moving. And we all have our eye on the prize. We want to hit that 68.5. So it may be April. They feel like spring and they feel like things are winding down. We're not winding down. All right. We've done some professional development this year. Uh question three, how we respond when students don't learn and continue that work. That's going to be our question next year. Asking that question to see what we can do different help all of our students be successful. people action our pair professionals there at the bottom um they they've done some great P this year as well and like to expand what we do with our parents they are crucial work very proud of our professional development
028a lot of our staff we mentioned mental health our people service team has worked leaders on that empowered our staff a little plug Thursday night we have our literacy night we're going to have close to 400 of our country students in this building and their parents and family to feed them and do a lot of hot dogs. Um we're going to hand out books. Everyone's going home with a booksh by this person who does phenomenal stories and makes balloons as he does. So we're excited to see that. I welcome to come by come by your work excited about this community outreach. for our families to be engaged with us a chance for us to help them engage and read and things that are still in progress that that I've talked to you about that I
029like to keep saying obviously we're still working on portrait learner but the more I learn about that I know it's going to take time it's going to take grade level each area really what in that area should kids know by the time they're done this is going to be a long process told you about plans for professional devel development for next year. Those are already working. We're meeting. We're planning. We have a lot of things already in place. We're not into next year. Human growth and development is still hanging out there. We're working with Jessica Kish for the middle school and high school. What that looks like, what we use, age appropriate, uh, and we're not repeating things. And then we'll work with our fourth and fifth grade. So, we're in a good spot there.
030And some of you will be asked because our human growth and development will involve two board members. We're in the process there. And then here's where period comes in. Five and 10 year curriculum resource plan. What we do it is expensive. A lot of the resources we purchase for our students cost a good amount of money and we good stewards of that money. So I continue to work on a fiveyear plan and a 10 year plan of what what we use, what do we not need, what are we going to need instead so that we kind of stay consistently say a lot of money all these pieces really kind of right now working with other districts who have these plans a little bit where some items are six years. So things are every year and
031just so you know where [clears throat] I'm going where your vision is for me just that we're innovative teaching want to be ahead of everybody else. I want our kids ready for the future students are creating. They're not just consuming. You heard that before. You're going to hear again instruction. every graduate skills to future success and opport any questions for st you on anything that quick around the sun. So I really like the collaboration. >> Yep. Yeah. Yes. >> Has there ever been discussion [clears throat] of going? >> Yes. And we're planning on next year trying to work the other way with the middle school so they can work with three, four, and five at upper so we can have those same conversations that way. Pete's team's going to kind of be in the middle
032working side. But that is what middle school is. So that's in the works. Some of our sixth grade teachers are doing some observer. A lot of my job stage elements questions Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Okay, we are on to number 12. Unfinished business. Long hard to get to this point. Resolution authorizing the general obligation bond. Yeah, I can kind of just [cough] kind of this whole process actually goes back further. April 24. >> Yes, we were meeting with Nexus and other companies who should work. This is just a very big project of time. Then you get to January and And you know we started we got to start this audit and [clears throat] they did a lot of time the several months are we didn't need to touch anything to find out we
033get to all this information we put together that task force which they were wonderful took time out of their summer here and all the information to and over, come up with ideas, ask questions so that the Nexus people can go back to the drawing board and bring back other ideas collaborating together. And then let's look at in November through February board review. Usually that's like one or two meetings. There are four special meetings plus every committee of the whole meeting that really, you know, this group is chewing this over asking questions trying to figure out get their around the whole thing. >> And now we're headed into the last session. If everything goes well tonight, we'll adopt the resolution and then we're headed into a referendum campaign that will run from now until August. August
03411th your brain and start spreading that that date around people and it is a primary so that's where we're at the Again, I know it's not always easy, but a lot of thought this. So, with that, we have two Senate resolutions um to look at roll. >> Yeah. So the first one is a initial resolution general obligation. So I'll take that. So this resolution states be it resolved by the school board of the school school district of the city of Gailville, villages of Patrick and Trelo, towns of Calonia, Dodge, Gale and Trelo, Tremple County and the town of North Bend and Jackson County Jackson counties, Wisconsin that there shall be issue pursuant to chapter 67 of the Wisconsin statutes general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed 44,755,000 for the public purpose of paying

Are we missing even if it's a colon or something in there when it talks about Trebo and Jackson counties, Wisconsin.
036>> Yeah. Like the county >> there's got to be something after Wisconsin counties of Wisconsin or something along that line. all of the villages, cities, townships, and some are in different counties. So, they had to differentiate. >> Then they list the two counties that are included, >> right? >> Wisconsin. >> There's got to be something after Wisconsin. It It just doesn't It doesn't read Grammarly correct. >> It's lawyerally correct. [laughter] >> This has been put together by a group of >> What threw me off is that they repeated the copies twice. Yeah, because they Yeah, because you have you have to have the counties listed. >> Okay. >> Actually, you know what? Town of Etric is not in there. >> No, it is not. Good catch. >> Actually, the village of Etric is Oh, village

Town of Calon, Dodge, Gale, and Trumblo are there, but not >> Let's make sure that when you say you're >> I thought it was missing the first time I looked at the back. Just like, okay, something's missing. What's missing? >> Good caption. need to redo that. So resolution. So now back to our initial motion. Any other discussion? Let's take a roll call vote. >> Amy, >> yes. >> So, Cindy, >> your vote. >> I did. I did. >> You have to say it out loud. >> Just say my name. You have to say yes or both. >> Oh, yes. Sorry.

Um, and then what they did was they set up a committee for it and then so that committee raised money to pay for the signs to put them out there by donation. I don't know if
046West Salem did that. I know Melrose did it. I'd have to check officially with West Salem. I just thought I'd throw it out there. I thought that was a good way to get people thinking about it. Is there a conflict of interest with having the school physically do the promotion? whether we can actually do that versus >> local group. >> Okay. So as board members we can support it but >> can't use more questions on item 13 new business Yeah. >> Okay. Um item A consider consider a staff teach. Um Gary, where do we sit financially with covering another teacher that wasn't originally in our budget? >> Putting out a preliminary budget in May. Um some major cuts that we have to we have to look at as far as just um you know going
047into referendum the BG side uh for a year making sure um that we're okay there. pretty close to a balanced budget, but that'll come in May. >> We have room for another 4K teacher at elementary right now. Like, is there going to be space? >> Probably not. >> So, we have a classroom right now that's a half time grade classroom. So, we can shift things. We won't need that next year. So, it opens up one room for us. If this is now, we would be at our limit after this. adding classes. >> You want 3K? Is that what you're saying? [laughter] This year, >> where will that put us scales wise with 4K? Um, I know that we have two classrooms, but [clears throat] numbers of students in comparison 33 students that are scheduled to
048go to Gville next year section. So about 16 17 students right now. >> 16 17. >> How many are in trouble? >> 16. >> Currently. Yeah. >> So right now we're projected at 42 in next year. So the staff capacity um we have a 1 to 20 ratio. So just hit that threshold where they're now over those 20 students. Um and then any open enrollments we're talking about shifting them to Trump and we'll be sending out a parent survey. See if there's interest to shift other students to be just like >> so at 16 to 17 is where you're at right now with Gailville. Correct. I guess my thought process was, not that I like to shift forkers any direction, but is that an option to switch some of the Trumpo kids to Gailsville and
049a few Gailsville kids? >> They're already >> But they're already the same. >> I know you said 20 to one, right? >> Yeah. And so there's a little bit of buffer, maybe about three. There's about three openings in each classroom in Gailville right now, but Gailsville tends to get a lot more registrations throughout the summer. >> That's what I needed to hear. >> Yep. So, August hits pretty hard, especially in the school year at the beginning of school year, too. >> Where are numbers in I know that that was a concern. My numbers in >> 17 for next year really low and then we got five. >> Didn't you say it was like >> 17 for it was at >> that exploded like 14, wasn't it? >> Yeah, that's what you were saying. We were
