Well, before we just so everybody knows, public comments, we're not available to comment. So Tracy, Todd, your subject is spring break, it looks like. >> Um yes. I
005think I've said this to a couple of people on the board before, but I [clears throat] just want to make it public so you all My concern is that um when you have the discussion about time off and during the year for the kids that you'll reconsider having spring break for a week every year instead every other year. Um I know that we get 10 days without getting in trouble. Um and I've used those 10 days before, but now that my son is getting older, he cares about his grades and he cares about school. and when we're gone for three days for Thanksgiving, he falls behind and doesn't want to go on vacation anymore. So, it just it's helpful for families that want to go on family vacations um to have that that week. I
006did check other area schools, our Katie gets a week, Independence gets a week, an Alaska gets a week. Um so, I mean it's not uncommon. I think that if you earlier or finish later or whatever it is. It's just nice to have that week um throughout the year for families to do that. >> So, I'm just asking the court to reconsider that. [clears throat] >> All right. Thank you, Jason. Uh correspondence. All right. Couple of things here. Um, first of all, um, we've just received um, notice from Diligent that um, they're doing some changes and we're going to have to we'll be sending you a all the board members a um, email and you'll need to do something to update your login password. So, we'll have instructions. It'll come after January 17th. you'll get an
007email and if we need to at our January 22nd special meeting, we can make sure we go through it as a group and take care of it, make sure everybody's up to date, but you will get instructions. So, that was one thing. And then we have um I just got noticed um I don't know, I think some of you have been at this. They do the meet the candidates over at the Shirley Mr. Library over in Truffle um every year. And um I was just asked if our board wants to participate this year. I know nobody's contested, but if you are interested and that's going to be you, Punk, and yeah, if you just want to let me know if that's something you're interested in and I sure would be open to that. >> When
008is it? Uh >> it is on March 23. So I will get her your name and contact information and then okay correspondence. >> That's it. >> All right. Um staff and student recognition. I guess I'll go ahead and start. Um um I'd like to recognize um Brenda Gaucho and our custodial staff and um many of our community members. Uh there was a small incident in the PAC on Saturday and um everybody stayed calm. The community members pitched in and um I think everything turned out at the end. But uh so I think it's a gentleman ran into a glass wall and >> oh wow >> damaged his nose and um but uh but thanks to Brenda the community members stepped up and uh yeah so everything turned out right I hope [laughter] but just it's
009it's really good to have a you know a strong staff and a strong community. So yeah, that's [clears throat] >> and having our bloodborne pathogen kits uh in an easily accessible place in the building was very helpful for for us as well. So >> I was just going to bring up about Roboski's um [snorts] >> what >> she's got it too. So, >> oh, he was um um given the Apple Distinguished Educator. So, that's quite an honor >> screen over there. [laughter] >> You want to add >> Oh, you got it up. I didn't see it. >> No, no, no. I'm glad you brought it up, Cindy. I just I'm just adding to it. Just a little visual. Sounds just really cool. I mean, if people don't know what it is, it's basically it um
010honors it says this is a prestigious global community of education innovators recognized for transforming teaching and learning through the purposeful use of technology. Anybody else? All right. Well, wonderful. Okay. Now we are on to administrative reports and we have our administrative reports dealing with our strategic plan update. All right. So um I do have a PowerPoint but you all have copies of it. So you can either look this way or look at your computer. Um, but in January, we usually take a few minutes to review our strategic plan and kind of give everybody an update on the work that we're doing throughout the district. So, uh, one of the first things we worked on when we developed this strategic plan was our mission. Um, we've said it tonight, learning for all, learning for life. Um,
011over the last three years, this statement has permeated our announcements and newsletters, weekly news feeds. I mean, we use it everywhere. You see it everywhere. Um, we have fully embraced our mission statement and we state it at the beginning of meetings like tonight uh to keep us focused on the right work. Back she goes. There we go. Um, like our mission statement, our vision, a community where everyone grows, excels, and thrives helps to guide our decision making at every level. This is the guide for our future. It's our direction and under um as part of our plan, we have four uh pillars that we we kind of balance our work under. Um one is student growth and achievement, the other is exceptional staff, the third family and community partnerships, and the fourth financial and operational
012stewardship. Each summer, the district cabinet reviews these pillars and we dig in deeply into what do they mean? And then how can we um what are what are steps we need to do? What are things we need to work on to keep this strategic plan moving forward? Each year we develop a plan that aligns with the pillars and it includes action steps and objectives um that keep us going forward. Um each month then after that plan is developed, the cabinet reviews the plan, reviews our progress in accomplishing each step within the timelines that we've set at the start of the year. So now I'm just going to go through each of the pillars and talk about a few of the objectives that were set in this year's plan. So under student growth and achievement, um
013one of our objectives is increasing student proficiency rates. Um when you look at that little picture there, um the blue and the other blue are our proficient students. This is actually some data right off of Wise Dash, um the Wisconsin DPI website. Um and it's our ELA rates. Um we want to keep increasing the number of blue and light blue, those are those proficient and advanced students every year. And this year, our goal actually is to increase ELA star scores by 5% um districtwide. That's our goal. Um, it's a pretty lofty goal. A 5% jump in an ELA score across the district is reaching for the the stars a little bit, but we want to reach for the stars and we believe our students uh are capable. Um, also in order to meet that goal,
014um, [clears throat] our administrators are reviewing assessment data with staff on a regular basis so they can see where are students at and where do they still need to go to get to that goal. Um they are providing opportunities for staff to develop plans and strategies to address those gaps. And then being supportive of our staff um to ensure that um the actions or steps intervention interventions that they may have developed get carried out. And sometimes this means that the administrators are changing schedules um or even getting resources um for staff to help support that work. All right. So also under student growth and achievement um we have another um objective which is tied to our PLC processes. So, um, PLC's, professional learning communities, we use those initials, um, all the time, but really this
015is collaborative time for teachers to work together. And we have time every Wednesday. Students are released 30 minutes early. And we want to make sure that time is being used for the intended purpose that we're doing the work that we set out to do which is um allowing teams to work and and discuss and strive towards higher student learning. So [clears throat] administrators attend those meetings. Um they go to different ones each week. um they provide coaching when it's needed and they're developing strong leaders to lead each individual team so that we have a leader there when our administrators aren't present and we have some amazing teams that are doing great work. Um but we have to be intentional. We have to keep staying on that purpose um to make sure that the work keeps
016going forward under the pillar exceptional staff. One of the objectives is um to improve our onboarding and offboarding processes to make those smoother. Um why is this important? Because if we do this well, if you make it a smooth process for coming into a new job, um that you feel welcome, that you know um who you can talk to about problems, that you feel like you know what's going on around you, um it's it's a it's just it starts you off positive and it keeps you positive longer. Um so we've been um you know working on understanding the process. Actually, that is our onboarding process right there. I challenged myself to learn new technology this year and that's Lucid. Um and uh and we wanted to make it really clear what does our onboarding process
017look like but then how do we do it in a way that's more efficient and so um a team of us Kendra included on the team they in fact they met today and um they're working at making these processes really smooth by using software we already have but we haven't really used to its ultimate levels. Um, we've been using Skyward, this application for financials and payroll, but we have never really used it fully for HR. And so, we're pulling that in and um and creating fast and smooth and um systematic ways um to do our onboarding as well as offboarding of our employees. So, that's one of our projects and it's really been fun. Another area or two more areas under exceptional staff. One is our mentor program and I'm just going to look right
018to Sam Rude. that is really his baby. And I know he's talked about it a little bit, but I just want to say last year great strides were made in the mentorship program for teachers. Just amazing. It's it's a great program. Well, this year is just even better. I mean, he just keeps getting feedback and keeps tweaking it. Um, so we're continuing to go forward with that. But what's new this year is our program, our mentorship program for PAR professionals. They're so important to our staff, so important to our students. So now we have a program in place that got developed and has been implemented. It's moving forward. Um again making that those initial days those first that first year half a year as smooth and as positive as possible for our employees so they
019know what they're doing and they have answers to their questions. We also this year um developed a process for um onboarding new substitute teachers as well to make their first days smoother and more welcoming instead of just getting thrown to the wolves on those first days when they walk into someone's classroom. Um so that's been exciting. Um, in addition, PD, professional development, so important for retaining and m maintaining a strong workforce. And this year, we committed to 60 minutes of mental health education for all staff members on our inservice days. And um, that has been a real positive um, understanding ways to help students and and as they learn how to help students, they also learn a little bit about how to help themselves. It kind of goes hand in hand. Um, and then, um,
020Sam specifically, sorry Sam, just embarrassing you tonight. It's my job. Um, works very closely with our principles, gets feedback from staff, um, and is developing in services that meet not just buildings, but grade levels, content areas, getting very specific to the needs of our teachers. Um, and again, that wouldn't be able to happen without such a strong team. So he's continuing to do that and we've been getting really positive feedback on our insisting. So the next pillar, family and community partnerships. What have we been been doing there? So um always every year it seems like we have the same objective because it's we're always striving to involve family and community more and more and more in our schools. And this year, um, we're continuing forward with our birth to five outreach. You may have seen
021that out on Facebook where we welcome families to come in and have positive experiences in the schools, get their kids excited about coming here. Um, and then, um, we also have many celebrations throughout the year where we honor students with their parents. I know there's breakfast, Red Hawk breakfasts over at GE and TE and E. They're all having these wonderful outreaches. Um, we have all these reading events where we bring parents in and community members to read to our kids. Um, a couple of things I see at the high school where they're bringing experts in just different career areas to talk to kids to be available for kids to ask questions. You see this all the time. I've got this really great example and I'm going to blank on the guy's name, but one of
022our kids, his dad is an electrician. And I I don't know. We've got this stage over in the high school that it's been kind of unused for a long time and it just became a junk pile. Um the old stage in high school right off the high school gym >> and um they cleared that off and they've been the the the class the class that does construction. They've been actually building offices in that space um to be used by some you know we have we just never have enough offices for people to meet with kids. Um and uh they've been working on this. Well, this this dad who's an electrician um came in because there's things our kids can't do, but he's certified. And first of all, he demonstrated some of the stuff, you know,
023that they're not allowed to do. But then um you know, he he he came and mentored them, answered their questions, he worked with them on the projects that they could do with the electricity. And it was just this great partnership. and it was very real, very hands-on. Um, and you know, a great parent, just gave a lot of time and got a lot of kids excited and hopefully we'll get some great electricians out of this as well as we know we need more electricians. So, um, so there's one thing that we're working on and we continue to work on. Another piece of family and community partnerships is just improving communication. Uh, last year we updated our website and our communication platform. This year we're fine-tuning those efforts. So, we've been training more of our employees
024how to update web pages and then training more and more employees to post events on social media to get the word out about the great things that are happening in the schools. So, now I know I've been talking fast because I know that got so much on our agenda tonight. Anyway, our last pillar here, financial and operational stewardship. Um the first uh item that I have here objective obviously you're all very aware of we've been working on you know looking at our buildings and looking at their needs um you know having a community task force talk through things uh having a survey and now you know a lot of the work's going to be the board and having discussions and really figuring out exactly what we're looking at getting done and and determining if we'd
025go to referendum. So that's that piece and and you're all going to be very directly involved here as as we continue to move forward. Um, also under financial and operational stewardship, um, we have an objective to help our staff really understand the new health insurance um, services that we have in place this year. And it is truly a a learning curve learning how to use um the different opportunities and options effectively to save money um and to guard their own HSAs as much as possible. So um we're going to continue working on getting that information out and providing opportunities um for staff to ask questions. And then the last item that I'm going to hit is improving safety and security of our district resources. um that involves um building security like improving PA systems and
026bells, network closets. There's been several projects and I know Cat presented on some of this already, especially the second part which is cyber security which includes backups and network documentation, servers and all that great stuff. I don't really understand real well, but she does. Um she's again been moving quickly on many projects getting us to a a good place. um getting um working with the right people to make sure that we have um our needs covered. So, I feel really good about the direction we're going. A lot of the projects are complete. Some are ongoing throughout the year. Um and uh we're continuing to move forward as we had hoped when we developed our strategic plan in the first place. So, this just gave you a little bit of a look and update about what
027we're doing. And if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. >> [clears throat] >> Looks like you've been busy. >> Busy. It's been good. I I do think and I know it was a big investment when we did the strategic plan, but it was worth it. It has really given us direction. It has helped us to make sure that because now you got accountability, right? You got to get these projects done and you're meeting monthly to make sure that it happens. So it was a good invest. Thank you. >> Good planning is the most >> other questions. >> All right. So now we're [clears throat] on to unfinished business. The capital project improvement plan. Um so we talked last Thursday. um we kind of all came to consensus that dealing with five
028schools is trying to do the whole project at once as a planning process is very difficult. So um I guess I just kind of give an update of what we discussed last Thursday. So our plan is to look at each individual school alone and break it down at that point and then once we get comfortable with that school we'll move to the next school and so on and so forth instead of trying to take a big monster which is overwhelming um and just so so we can try to come to a price tag and what needs to be done. Um we did plan a couple special meetings. Um one is Thursday, January 22nd at the Gailsville Elementary School. This meeting will be solely focused on the building projects. And then also Thursday, February 19th at
0296:30. And so we'll have two dedicated meetings. Um hopefully we can get some progress then chipping away at each individual building and then at the 19th meeting we'll evaluate to see if we need more meetings or if we can come to a consensus at that point. >> Anybody have anything else to add on that? >> Is that does that sound right or close? >> You are right on. And I was just going to add too if the board would like to get to Etric Elementary in there somewhere or if at the 19th we just you decide you know you still need more meetings we can either have one at Ric or we can have like the next. Yeah. Just so you can touch on >> So yeah. So hopefully it'll make our lives a little
030bit easier that we can narrow it down and >> instead of seeing this big splatter on the wall and overwhelming >> project. So all right if there is no other discussion on that >> question those uh elementary meetings we had talked about uh possibly having um Derek be at one or both of them. Will that be will he be available? >> Yep. He's planning on coming. >> Okay. He'll be at the committee the whole in February too. Any time we have discussion about this, he'll be there. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All right. If there's nothing further, uh we'll move down to new business consideration of open enrollment limits. >> He's going to walk us through this document. >> Turn it back. I think a lot of people have it probably too. >> All right.
031So, with open enrollment, um this is an action item for the board. So, every January, districts have to um project case loads for students with IEPs going forward and the staffing to come up with what we are projecting we would be able to take in for students that are open enrolled. So, our priority is to make sure that we're servicing students that live within our district first, that we have the appropriate special education [clears throat] services and staffing to meet their needs before we say that we can accept students that are non-residents that would be open enrolling into our district. um DPI gives local decision making um to districts to come up with their process for this, but they do give us a couple of different um models between like a work case load analysis
032and then also um overall what they're recommending to be projections for the number of students on a case load. So between looking at those two different guided guiding methods DPI gives us, we looked at our current students and we looked at our current staff and we rolled that forward and we came up with the following projections here. So for crosscategorical that means students that have multiple different categories of special education. There's 13 different areas that students could qualify under and a combination of those categories is what would make up a cross categorical case load. Um that's the majority of our case loads within our districts. Nobody is just focused on working with students with learning disabilities. We're just focused on students with emotional behavioral disabilities. So if we look at that in each of those
033buildings, um students in Gailsville and Etric Middle and High School, we're projecting to have zero places for students that are open enrolled coming into our district. Um with our case loads in Treble, we're looking able to take up to two students that are open enrolled that would have IEPs into that building there. Um, we look at early childhood special education. Based on staffing that we're projecting for next year, we would look at having zero spaces for early childhood. Um, same thing with speech and language. So, we have 2.7 FTEES um for our speech and language pathologists and slightly over a 100 students with speech and language in their IEPs. So, that would also be another program that would be closed off to students that are applying for open enrollment with that and their IEP. The
034other ones, vision impairment, um, deaf and heart of hearing, OT, PT, and adaptive are all either related services or services that we contract from CISO4. So even though we might have those services within the district, if we were to service those students that were open enroll, we would have an increase in cost to CISA 4 for those services. So that's why we also cap those off. Um, the last one there is pair professional. So this is a little bit of a change from last year. Last year we said if students have 50% up to 50% or more in their IEPs with paraprofessional support we would deny their open enrollment applica application. This year we changed that to any paraprofessional or adult support. Um the reason for that is that currently we have two paraprofessional positions
035open in our district that are currently unfilled. So, this is a situation where we want to make sure we have the pair of professional staff to address our students that live within our district before we take in students that are open enrolled. These positions are really hard to fill. We're struggling to fill those. So, we want to make sure that we're servicing our students first. So, any students coming in, we would look at denying that um enrollment application if they have pair professional support in their IP. Any questions? Yeah, any >> do we have any students from our school district that are enrolled in voucher schools that we have to furnish services for? >> Um, we do have students that are in a private school within our district. So, I would say the best one
036to answer that. >> We we do uh provide services uh to Korean every once in a while. Um I'm not sure of the >> we do currently have students that have service plans. So when our students are in private schools um they're they're not called IEPs are called service plans. We do have students that are receiving speech and language services within our district under service plans. But vouchers would be something a little bit different than open enrollment >> because BIM is not a voucher school. >> Correct. >> No, we do service students there though that fall within the Any other questions? >> You said this is an action item. >> Yes, it is. >> Okay. >> Well, with that being said, I would take a motion to for [clears throat] the approval for open enrollment
037limits for the 2026 2027 school year. >> Second, >> Cara and Adam. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Opposed. >> Motion passes. >> Thank you. consideration of band trip. >> Guess I'll cover this. You do have some information there that just came to us. Um let's see. The high school is planning a music trip for the spring of 2027. Um you see the dates there, March 29th through April 22nd during next year's spring break. And uh they are going to Orlando, Florida to the Disney parks. Uh they'd be flying out of the Twin Cities. the cost per student roughly $2,000. They would be performing at a clinic through the Disney Imagination Campus soundtrack session um and have a performance at Walt Disney World Resort. Um students who qualify, let's see, to
038travel must be enrolled in band and or choir class in 9th through 12th grades. Um during next school year, they will be doing fundraising. Let's see. The get m music boosters um have a point system for students and parents who have helped with events and concessions that goes for towards individual trips. Um Bob Rogers travel also has an option for students to share with family members that allows donations towards individual trip accounts. And then the get music boosters also will help with students that um might be having financial hardships. So there's a lot of support there. Am >> I just totally out of base or is $2,000 for a five day trip? >> Not excessive. >> Feels excessive. >> What do you think about going to Disney? >> It's $100. 130. >> That's more than
039100 now. That's a lot. >> Yeah. Just a walk in the park. >> And then your flight, hotel, food. I would say the last trip that they went on two years ago was I'm trying to remember it was over it was like at least 1500 and it was bus they didn't even fly for that when we they went to um New York um and that was over. So is it high? Yeah, but I don't know >> because of the spring but break time frame. I mean, I just just thoughts. >> So, you think it's too expensive or not? >> I do. I mean, [clears throat] just I have friends that travel back and forth between Florida and Rochester on a regular basis for >> a few hundred. >> Imagine that equipment, >> I suppose. So,
040>> yeah, you have to >> Yeah, you're going to have to buy instruments. That's all figured in and broken down between students. So they'll have clinics for both both groups. >> Is there a big difference between flying and a bus like costwise? >> $75 >> and you're not on and you're not on a bus that already. >> Yeah. >> And you're not on a bus that breaks down. Was it New Orleans when the bus broke down on the way back? >> School bus. Give him a school bus. [clears throat] [laughter] >> You can drive that. >> So, I'll just address the elephant in the room. Just I mean, I'm assuming everything's going to be >> f Okay. Yep. Okay, >> perfect. >> I can also I had a conversation with uh Eric about the financials.
041>> Nothing comes through the school district. It's all done through the travel agent um or a Bob Rogers travel. Uh students log on um they can send a link to people that can donate money to their specific trip to them. Uh they make their payments right to them. There's nothing that comes to the school district. >> Won't be any surprises. >> Perfect. Okay. Well, I would take a recommendation. Anybody would like to make a motion to recommend the approval of the music spring break trip for the year 2027? Move. >> Second by George. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> Opposed. [snorts] Motion carries. All right. Uh consideration of proposed new teacher club. >> All right. So really sad that um Mr. Oliver is not here. He actually had to go couldn't stay
042because he wasn't feeling well. But I know he's really excited about this. As you know, we just um we just approved a a course, [clears throat] right, to to help kids get excited about becoming educators, you know, that they could actually will get credit at the university if they take the course. Um it's like a a beginning teacher, really a beginning teacher course that we approved. And now our um teachers are looking at can we have a club that kind of goes alongside with that to give kids even more experiences. Again, we want to grow our own. Finding teachers is getting hard. And if we can um start getting excited students that want to be teachers someday, um this is one way and one avenue to do so. So, they're calling it the future educator
043club and and if you open that document, you'll see the initiative is to inspire and support high school and then eventually middle school. they want to expand it over time uh students into exploring careers in education and there is a partnership with Winona State University um they'll there if you look at the month monthly activities there's one specifically that's with Winona University um but basically again working in sync with that course giving more experiences um again let's see if we can get some wonderful students to want to be teachers right here at get they would like your approval. I know we don't necessarily need approval for every club, but I think they wanted you to know about this and have your stamp of approval. >> Is there any reason why UWL being that they have
044large education department would be included? >> I think WSU reached out um because they they partnered with other schools in doing this. I think that's all it is. I don't think that they're like ruling out other universities. I think they just offered to do, you know, an activity or two with the kids. >> Questions? >> Okay. I would take a motion for the approval of the new teacher club. >> Leaky. >> Second. >> Coup. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Opposed. My motion. New club. Um, letter D, consideration of request for extended leave of absences. >> So, you have two requests here, two different teachers. One just came in today. So, um, we had this on the agenda. We figured we'd take care of them both in one school. Um, the
045first one you can see, um, uh, the teacher, Miss Lia, that's on leave. Um she's having a baby and um she uh would be coming back with one week of school left. She's just asking if we could extend the leave and we by by policy according to policy if you extend or taking an extended leave without pay. You do have to get board approval. Um so she's asking if the board would approve for her to miss that final week of school and just finish off the school year with her baby. Um the other request um you can see Miss Dson um she actually had her baby um was planning on being out until March 10th, but her baby was born very early and she would like those additional weeks um as her baby just gets
046stronger and um healthier so that uh that she feels comfortable coming back to work. You can read all the way through those letters, but that's kind of the the short version. >> Any questions? >> It looks like it's two different. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, we'll go. >> So, both of them will just have extended leaves without pay. That's why it needs approval. I take a motion to approve for staff member extended leave of absent forga >> punk. >> Second by Ley.
