If you'll join us for the pledge of 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.

Uh it took a while including late pays and pre-authorization of payroll insurance utilities officials and automatic payments. Mr. Chair, I would move that we approve the consent agenda as presented. Any discussion? All in favor? I. Any opposed? Hearing none, we'll adopt the consent agenda. And we have a round table today. We have tea club to start with. Yay. [Music] Yes, we just got these. Um, thank you. I'm Franchesca Jones. For those who don't know me, I just finished my fourth year SAT club adviser. We are here twofold tonight. I want to thank you for your support and to talk about our district convention. We just got back Sunday night from YMCA of the Rockies in Estus
003Park, Colorado. We had a great year. We had close to 60 things. We helped with over,200 service hours. We only have about 30 in our club. So, we're really very busy. Um, and so I'm going to have each of the girls with me tonight introduce themselves and tell you about decon. Cool. All right. Hi everybody. My name is Cassie Shields and I'm the new newly elected president of our Riverton club. All right. Um, my name is Sely Johnson. I'm the newly elected district secretary. All right. Hello. My name is Elsie Bot and I am our club secretary and tonight I get to speak to you about decon. Um, so decon, which stands for district convention, is held annually in Estis Park, Colorado at the YMCA of the Rockies. As Mrs. Jones said, we just got
004back on Sunday. Um, thankfully the weather was much better this year and it only snowed for about one and a half of the three days we were up there. Awesome. Um, for those of you who don't know, H Rocky Mountain District of Key Club International or RMD for short is comprised of clubs from all of Colorado, Wyoming, and a bit of Nebraska. As such, Decon offers a unique opportunity to meet, work, learn, and party with like-minded leaders and clubbers from across the region. Additionally, this year we had the opportunity to collaborate and hear from international trustee Niti Ralph and international president David Robin who were present at the convention. We also heard from Circle K members, the college level of Kuanas and the former Kowanas International President Bert West. We kicked off Friday with check-in
005and an exciting opening ceremony where each clubber was given a task card. as we completed the tasks on it throughout the weekend, which included things like posting a picture on social media and tagging RMD, networking, and meeting a new person, or finding our hidden mascot, a member of the district board would punch our card to prove we completed 10 out of 15 of the tasks in order to receive a prize at the end of the weekend. As the primary reason for the convention is to elect the district board members for the upcoming year, we finished off Friday evening with a candidate meet and greet and a service fair where we all got to show off our favorite service projects. The next morning included a mini opening session and then serious caucusing, a time for us
006to listen to the candidate speeches and ask questions about their platforms. After lunch, the official House of Delegates occurred and bylaws, amendments, and elections were completed. Then we all had a chance to attend forum rooms, which are 45minute workshops designed to enhance our leadership skills. Topics included working with social media, public speaking, and a chance to go roller skating to raise money for the Key Club Thirst Walks program, which contributes to clean water at Esatini. We also got to hear our amazing Quinnell, who sadly is not here tonight, perform at the talent show. And we finished off the evening with pizza and a dance. Sunday brought a blanket making service project for the Ronald McDonald House and a bittersweet retirement of the officers as well as the induction of new officers. Cely was elected to
007the office of district district secretary and we endorsed our immediate past governor to run for international office. The convention wrapped up with a hundth birthday party celebrating Key Club's century of service. The weekend was filled with so so much laughter, learning, growth, and even a few tears. As always, thank you so much for your support. We are so grateful for the opportunity to experience that incredible weekend. Thank you. Just want to mention we did win the highest award. It's the diamond club for all of our service and um hours and projects and stuff that we did. So, I was very proud of our club. Um the second year in a row that we have gotten this. I have a few buttons and stickers. I don't know if you would like to look at them from
008um see what else. Oh, I do want to mention that UW just got their college um Kuanas group going. Circle K. The president is my son Brett and a graduate just last year. Cassie sister Katie is the secretary. So they have really good things going and we're continuing going forward, right? Yes, we're certainly trying. So we have officer club officers here and a district officer. Um so I'm very proud of our kiddos. We worked hard. Any questions for us that you might have? What was your favorite project last year that helped earn you the diamond status? Um I would say mine was the haunted house that we put on. Um, one of my friends, Aurora, her parents work with the Heritage Museum and we had the opportunity to put on a haunted house and we
009had some people earning 15 service hours for that project and it was really, really fun and really cool for us to do. So, what did you like the best about your convention? Your favorite? Um, I think my favorite part is getting to meet so many people because our district is along with Colorado and the panhandle of Nebraska and we had 130 members this year. So, getting to meet every like almost every single one of them was pretty cool. That's incredible. Networking is going to take you a long way. Thanks for coming back and sharing with Yeah, we really like to have the report afterwards and hear what went on, you know. Well, thank you for your support. You're more than welcome. Congrats on your accomplishments. That's awesome. And and good luck in your new offices.
010Thank you. You're welcome. That is really And we have some representatives from Rendevous Jackson to tell us about what's going on there. So that's a hard act to follow. We'll just we'll just we're not feeling great. We're out. Good. It's always tough to follow. And usually we have to follow a graduation. So well, and that's always hard. Um, for those of you I think I know everybody, but for those of you who don't, I'm Nicole Hernandez. I'm the uh head principal at Rendevu and Jackson this year. I'm Nicole Kelly. I'm one of the principles at Jackson Ronde this year. And I'm Bla1 Sam, one of the assistants over Rondoo Jackson. So, we've had a busy year this year. Um, we've been spending our time going between the two schools and it's kept us pretty busy.
011I tell everybody that I average between 17 and 20,000 steps a year. So, I don't know what I'm gonna do next year. A day. Not a year. Yeah, a day. So, I don't know what I'm gonna do next year. Um, not having all those steps, but it's it's kept me busy and active. So, we that part's been been good. Um, we thought tonight we would just kind of give you an update a little bit talking about where we are in the process for the final stages of reconfiguration for next year as we go into that year two and then a little bit about our goals for this year and then rolling into some goals for uh next year and where we stand for that. So for reconfiguration looking forward to next year, rendevu will have
012around 390 to 400 students and we will all be in one school and we will be boost through fifth grade. And the biggest change for next year is fifth grade will be in all three elementaryaries next year. So those fourth graders this year moving into fifth grade and the fifth graders will be in sixth grade. So it's been fun this year. I've enjoyed getting to have one year of all the fifth graders in one building. That's been an eye openener. It's been fun. Um 176 fifth graders. I've told everybody the hardest part for me is usually by the second, you know, third week of school. I know all 150 kids at Ashgrove. I know all their names. I'm good to go. And there's still times I look at kids and I'm like, I'm so sorry.
013I don't know your name quite yet. Or the worst part is I will see kids that I've known since first grade at Ashco and I'll say, "I'm really sorry. I do know your name, but all the new names, give me a minute. It's going to take me a minute to remember the names because this year we have around usually 490 to 56 depending on, you know, where we are with enrollment. So, a lot more kids than 150. So, the names have been a little hard for me this year. Um, next year we will have three sections of fifth grade at rendevous. And we are going to try co-taught with two of those sections and then do another one section of fifth grade on his own. It's it'll be Mark Star, but Cassie and Tammy have
014been doing co-taught for a while. have really worked with Mark Star and we're going to try and do some opposite schedule so Cassie can go in and support Mark in ELA because his specialty has really been um a lot of math this year and so that she can support him or Tammy and Mark can work together and teach science and math together. So while they'll both they'll be um what's the word? It's not departmentalized next year. self-contained next year. They're really going to work together and support each other so that while they're doing co-taught, Mark's not really out on his own. But as part of that, we will be sending two teachers to Willow Creek in fifth grade and two teachers to Aspen in fifth grade. And we do have some retirements this year and
015resignations. So we are hiring a little bit or moving some teachers around to fill all those positions. Next year in fourth grade, round will have four sections. In third grade, we will have three sections with the retirement of the enquil. So that will be a little bit different for us. So we'll be going down in size. And we do have a little larger section sections in third grade. So we've been talking to some families about maybe moving some students. And I'll let Nicole kind of fill in here because she's done some of that. Yes. So I've had the opportunity, sorry I'm leaning into the microphone and probably don't need to. Uh I've had the opportunity to talk to some families about what that looks like next year. Uh currently we have four second grade classrooms
016and next year that would be three third grade classrooms for the same group of kids. Uh which presented an extra challenge of that increases the class sizes and we didn't want the class sizes to get too large. So, we looked at our lists from last year when we started the reconfiguration process to see of what the surveys were from the parents to see if there were any parents who possibly didn't get their first choice option or didn't have a strong preference. Uh looked at people who had maybe thought about a request or had mentioned it to us. Uh to try to make a short list of people who may be interested in a transfer to another school to try to keep the class sizes equal or close to equal across the three elementaryaries. Uh so
017I reached out to those families and actually 100% of the families that we had identified as possibilities for transfers were supportive of the transfer uh knowing that that would help with class sizes. Uh so I think the planning that we took um in finding those names really paid off that we were able to have a 100% success rate of people interested in uh helping us out with those transfers. So we will go down to three sections and third. So all three schools will have three sections in third grade next year. Um second grade will also at Rendezvous go down to three. So again we'll have three sections across. But this year in first grade rendevu had smaller class sizes and so all three schools will be really equal in class sizes at second grade next
018year going down to the three sections. And then first grade will be four sections. Kindergarten will be four sections. And then boost will have our one. But we will be able to go up to the limit of 12 next year. This year we had to limit us to nine I believe in boost because we had such a small classroom in boost this year. And so next year we'll be able to go up to that limit we have wanted in that boost classroom. So moving everybody over to rendevous we'll be able to accomplish that. Um, we will be going down our ideal. We did have to do two ideal special education classrooms this year in order to have one at Ronu and one at Jackson. So, we'll go down to one next year. Um, learning resource,
019we'll go down to three from five, having the two buildings and the large fifth grade section that just naturally and we have just moved those teachers around tonight. You'll see on the agenda we have one going to first grade. um and they put in for that request and then we have one going to middle school that we needed to fill a position. So just through that we've been able to move some teachers around. Um we'll continue with two SLPs or speech language pathologists. We'll have two school social workers, two behavior teachers next year. And then the other one we'll be looking at probably reducing will be our paras. And we know we'll be going down in title one and gened in Paris with our numbers, but then learning resource behavior ideal as our case load
020dictates we'll probably be going down in numbers there. But we always in August need a large number of paras hired and so we'll just be moving some paras around as those needs are dictated by student numbers. So we really worked to adjust some of those this year and really rightsize our staffing. And then of course as far as maintenance and um kitchen staff, I've really left that to that staffing. That's not mine. That's that's for you guys. So that's been nice. So the other thing this has really done for us is our space. Rendevu was going to be really crowded next year if we had been four sections in all grade levels. And so by going down where we could with class sizes, we are not as crowded for next year, which makes me feel
021a little better. We've also been working really hard with Jody and Ed on the Mercer study and we don't have the results of that, but we are still, you know, trying to see what the state's recommending as we move forward, whether it be a remodel. You know, we shot for the moon and said we'd love a new school, but we'll see what the state comes back with that and where they sit. So, we are still working on that. We've done a lot of work with Ed on what is needed at rendevous if we do a remodel and what really would need to happen there because we do know that once Ashgrove and Jackson are closed you know I I know Ron Jackson's not closed but it won't be an elementary it will be Frontier and
022some of those and they would be doing some work there then rendevous would be a pretty old school you know we all know that it's needs some work um But we will look at that with the state and that's been a fun process. And so we aren't quite as crowded as we thought we would be that way. And we are not going forward with the big bathroom remodel that we had thought about doing. Um it was going to be quite expensive on the district money. Um Bla1 and I really looked at that, talked about it. We talked with the state about that remodel in doing the Mercer study and have just decided that that's not the best use of district funds at this time because it gave us more options to go forward with different
023plans in a remodel by not doing that. So maybe for a couple of years we are a little tighter on bathrooms, but we thought about ways we can handle that. um making sure teachers are using the bathrooms down by the gym for before and after specials. Um adjusting one of the bathrooms at the end closest to central for first and kindergarten students and that wouldn't be very expensive. We've had the city coming in and looking at what that would take as far as you know how we can make that for smaller kids, things like that. that would not be as an expensive fix for the district and not using river reserves for something that maybe wouldn't be a long-term solution. So, those are some things we've just been really thinking about this year. Uh the
024other thing we've really tried to do is ask for staff input about, you know, moving schools, moving grade levels, moving um positions, and we use that same protocol sending out staff surveys to do all of those processes. So in reconfiguration, that's kind of where we are. I feel like we have some good solutions going forward and I do feel like a lot of the options has been a little more fiscally responsible as far as trying to keep things really low cost as we go forward so that it opens up our options and doesn't give us a solution that's maybe just in use for a couple of years, especially if they go forward with a remodel. And then um Nicole's gonna talk about some of our goals that we had in place for this year. So
025I'd like to talk to you about some of the goals and some of the hard work that has been taking place at Jackson and Rendevous. Uh one of our main goals this year was working on culture and climate. And a big piece of that was making sure that our PLC's, our professional learning communities were really high functioning and trying to get down to the basics of what a what an effective team looks like for those PLC's. Uh currently because we did have a lot of um staff that came into the building who hadn't worked together before. We have fairly new teams. Uh sometimes it's because we have new teachers, but oftentimes it's experienced teachers who just haven't worked together yet. Uh so that's been a big part of it is working helping the teams to
026really come together and collaborate. so we can get the best outcomes for our students this year. Uh, another piece of the culture and climate was creating consistent systems that really try to align both buildings. Uh, being spread out between Jackson and Rendevous. Um, we don't want it to be a culture shock for the staff or the students when next year everybody's under one roof. So, we've been working hard on adapting those systems and protocols so that they're similar uh between both buildings. Um, so that's been a very big one. Um, we're also working on academic goals and our academic goals this year have primarily been for the third through fifth grade because we've been looking at YTOP scores which starts in third grade. So the current goal for academics was to maintain or exceed state
027averages. Uh, so we're we don't know how that's gone yet because we're we haven't done our white testing yet. So we're working on that. Um, specific for each grade level boost through fifth or boost through second grade. We do have a lot of new teachers in those grade levels and teams that have not worked together before. Uh so those PLC basics has been a huge part for them and a main goal for that grade level. Our third grade is really it's a new team although they are more experienced teachers. So they're working on learning the curriculum. Some of them are new to that grade level uh and how to work together and just have those those effective teams. Our fourth grade is working on um they they got a new English language arts curriculum this
028year. So, they've been working a lot on the ELA uh curriculum and they also had been used to having all of the fourth grade under one roof uh previously when Rendevu had only fourth and fifth graders. So, they've been adapting to working with that smaller team and what it looks like to work with fewer people in that team. Uh so, that's mainly been what fourth grade has been working on. Uh fifth grade has a lot of changes coming up next year uh because they will be splitting to those three buildings instead of the one. Uh so we didn't make a lot of changes in fifth grade and it's been a lot of maintaining the systems that they've had and been and have been working for them. Uh so we didn't make a lot of changes
029that year knowing that their changes are to come next year uh once they're in those different buildings. Good afternoon. I'm gonna quiz you guys now. Um I'm not going to do that to you. Um, I'm going to be talking to you about next year's plans because for us that's reconfiguration part two. Um, other schools are adding a section, but we are converging two buildings into one campus. So, it's going to be um, another heavy lift for us next year. And really, we want to focus on building our identity. you know, rendevous had an identity, but now we have so much so much, you know, mixing and matching from different campuses and so we really want to build some cohesion in our building. So, we're going to break it down into three goals. Um, we're going
030to start with our mission and vision. You know, who are we? Where are we going? And we've already started that work with our guiding coalition, which is our internal leadership group within Rendezvous Jackson. um we've developed a draft of that, but we didn't feel that it was appropriate to go ahead and stamp that mission and vision without getting everybody under one roof. And so that's something we're going to be doing. Um and then building out our collective commitments. So how are we going to act, behave to achieve that. The second goal we have is team building. So as we come together in one space, we really want to focus on those relationships. Um, we again we're we're merging two buildings and we want to have staff feel comfortable being around each other there to be
031a positive climate and culture. So, we're going to really be intentional about team building and building those relationships with staff and staff with staff and um so we all feel comfortable together. And that'll be morale, culture, climate, and then also integrating our systems together. And that's been the work we've been doing this year is trying to align Jackson and Rendeous systems, which is a challenge when you're not in the same building. So, we're going to continue to do that and just be really clear what are our systems. And then our third goal is strong PLC practices with a focus on the best practices that improve student outcomes. And you've already heard that, you know, echo. That's always our goal, but we really want to tighten things up um and make sure that our teams are
032being supported, that they understand how we move students um into proficiency and that they have the strongest learning outcomes possible. That's all we have. Thank you guys for listening. Thanks for coming and sharing. Yeah, thanks for bringing that info. Any questions for us? Yeah, it just sounds like you've got some work ahead, you know. Um I like I said the configuration part too. I do like the idea that you reach out to those parents because I think that that that helps build your communities and community support and they know that you're asking them for their input because you know our children are threedimensional and full. Thank you. Thank you. Have a great evening. you. Okay. Do we Well, we'll do the Would you start, Carl? Not much in my life. Starting to follow soccer. grandid
033yesterday wasn't that great. No. Well, it was it was it was Yeah, it was I didn't get to make it to that. So, hopefully improve the first time soccer player on middle school. club soccer. It is a change. It is. It's a whole bunch of new kids. No. And they combine that seventh grade. So, it's it's a new generation. My oldest herpoint shot to watch NBA potential. I think it shocked her as much as everybody else. Houston could have used her last night. What's that? Houston could have used her last night. I won that game except they gave it away last quarter except for the score. Yeah, they gave it away. Yeah, that's what we all say. That was the first time that that's awesome. It's pretty phenomenal. It's the number of courts potential for
034across just like at state basketball. They opened it up at 6:30 or something like that so that any team that wanted to schedule to practice do it till 10:00. So it's a nice facility, as Casper always does all the end of this month. We have our activities and at the end of this month we also have schoolboard here. Oh, when is that? What's that? When is that? 26. 26. Is that a Saturday? Friday, Saturday. Okay. So, the dinner board here. But uh so those things are going but I'm excited to see that we've got our tickets to the breakfast. When is the dinner? The 13th. 13th of May. of May. But that's about it. All right. Kind of same thing. I've just kind of been Well, middle school soccer started. So, I went and watched
035our youngest grandson plays middle school and then our oldest plays high school. So, and he just returned from the New York trip to New York Boston. Had a really good time there. An opportunity to just thank um Bobby and Erica Tolman for their sponsorship with those kids and heard how well behaved our kids were on that trip and and just that they weren't it was they had a really good group of kids and they didn't have any issues with them and I know my grandson absolutely loved it. Um, what else is there? Well, you guys got the email from Julie with regards to the profile of graduate or the graduation requirements. If you guys look through that and you want I I'm registered to attend that meeting um this well it's on the 16th that
036I'll go I'm going to do the noon session. There's three separate sessions. Tuesday, April 15th at 6 and Wednesday, April 16th at noon or Wednesday, April 16th at 5:00 pm. And they have a place you can register there if you want to come in and sit in through that. And as Carl said, there's a couple of those where it gets really I don't know. I think there's more punctuation than there is s sometimes in some of the way things are stated, I guess, is how I would say that. But um I'd be happy to take anything that you guys to that meeting and let them know because that's something that they want our feedback. That's how that's the only way they're going to get it is if we choose to be there and to take
037care of those things. Um sh I did get all my reservations finally made. I'm going to be going to another golf tournament to go to San Diego this year um where my husband help golf and I'll I'll play. So I'm like looking forward to that. But um Outside of that, I have a eighth grader that's going to be going becoming going to the high school this next year and I have one that's going to be a senior as well. So, which is hard for me to believe. Um, I don't have anything else. Thank you. I really don't have anything. I, you know, I was looking at some of the things that, uh, these folks have talked about. I was really excited about the key club. I uh Celely's grandpa was at our house on Saturday,
038Sunday, and he talked about how wonderful it was to drive up there with her and what a great organization that is. So, that word's getting around and uh I, you know, we're just watching all the grandkids and enjoying the weather. So, that's right. That's all I have. Um, I don't have a lot to report except for Thursday night. If anybody would like to participate in the public forum for the two final candidates for Northwest Boseies for the director's search, um if you'll go out to the Northwest Boseies website, it is nwboseies.com and there's a link to the administrative director search and you can sign up for that. Um those two forums, one will be at 5, one will be at 6 and then we will do our interviews as a board on the 16th. So,
039um I am a little bit more hopeful this time. So, that's that's good. We had some really good candidates and it was a much harder decision to call down the candidates this time. So, other than that, um I don't have a whole lot to report. Um my we had a new baby, a little girl. So, showed you her picture. So, I've just been helping my daughter and tending to my grandson and my granddaughter. And u we went and watched the middle school um track meet on Saturday. Um that was good. Yeah. And the snow, it wasn't really a lot of snow. It was cold though. You saw the buses there. Yeah, it was Friday, I guess. And we had a wreck board meeting, but Terry's going to tell you about that. Terry Before I forget
040it, Ally, would you come and talk to me after the meeting? Okay. Um, during the rec board, we settled some policy amendments. Um, everything was from when it was first formed in 74. Yeah. A lot of the wording was archaic. And so, uh, we updated that and, uh, we approved putting lights on the skateboard now or the skate park lights. Um, we're going to do it as a board rather than have somebody else take care of it. That way we know for sure that it's could be undone because they haven't had lights down there for two years. And we were one of the main instigators of getting it done and but the person that was that was doing all of that left town and so uh the lights were shut off. So now they'll be
041turned back on and uh we're working on uh perhaps putting in a really nice flag at the auditorium. That'd be nice to have a automatic flag that lowers spotlight on it rather than what we do have now. And so we're going to get a hold of the key club or not booster club for that and see what can we do about that. Other than that, um, Saturday and Sunday was was wild. We had a end of the year pool tournament, so that kept me busy all day long playing pool. That was way too much and I didn't shoot well, which made it even more too much. Yes, that's about it. That's all I got tonight. Thank you. Colton, you have anything for us? Nothing tonight. Thank you, Jada. I do. Excellent. [Music] Um, on May
04213th, we had discussed possibly changing the time on the board meeting because of the eighth grade restaurant. We're going to go ahead and keep the board meeting to start at 6:00 because the first seating, which we have reservations for the board, is at 4:30. So, you should be able to get here. And the main reason we did not want to change it is at that May 13th meeting, we're going to celebrate our retirees. and we had already started to get RSVPs for them. So, we did not want to have to go back to them and say, "Oops, sorry, you need to come an hour later." So, um anyway, I think we'll have enough people that will be able to get back for the six o'clock meeting, so it won't be an issue. And then myself
043and Lindy will be here if you guys are running a little bit late. So, and that's all I have. I'll be a little later than the rest of you because my I'll be at this I have reservations at 6 that night. So just so the board knows um we already did that as a family. So thinking that it was going to be later. So okay, Ally, so um as you know uh the state did appeal the the decision from Judge Folker to the Wyoming Supreme Court. Um so you know there's the briefing. They just filed a notice to appeal. That means they have um it's usually 45 days from when the district court sends up the record to the Supreme Court to file the initial brief, which would be the state's brief as to why
044they think Judge Foliger was wrong. And then the um WA and everyone else gets 45 days from that to file their brief. Then there's another I think it's 15 days to file a reply brief. the state gets a chance to file a reply brief. So, we won't know the fate of this for a while, but I think that um the Wyoming Supreme it's all questions really of law, which the Wyoming Supreme Court has done a pretty good job at um ruling in all the other Campbell cases on behalf of the school districts. So, I have hoped that it's not, you know, they're just going to affirm what Judge Frolicker did, but I will let you know as soon as I hear any developments. Okay. Thank you. And the state is asking for a stay, right?
045Yeah. Um I don't think they granted that. I think the Wyoming Supreme Court didn't grant the stay. So, they have to go through the recalibration the way already. This was the year for recalibration. Yeah. So, they don't the Wyoming Supreme Court from what I understand didn't want to grant the stay because or it was Judge Frolicer's decision. I forget who who decides whether there's a stay or not. Um, who whoever it was didn't want to do that for timing purposes because of the recalibration. They wanted to make sure that it included the ruling from Judge Frolicer and everything he said that the state has to fund. So if the Wyoming Supreme Court does overturn Judge Frolicer, which I don't see happening, they would have to go back and undo everything that they that they work
046on during this reccalibration year. So the things that Frolicker granted that they haven't been funding up previously, are those going to be funded now? Do does that Yeah, that's stuff like that. Yeah, that's what because there's no stay, it means his order is in effect. Like there's no delay to hear what the Wyoming Supreme Court decides. It's going to effect now. So, they have to start working on it now, which means funding what he says they have to fund. It could also, you know, the effect of a reversal would just undo everything that they do this year, but it would make it a lot harder to do that as well, right? Yeah. So that's the status as of now. They did appoint teamis pretty much told the chair that there was no restrictions on anything
047that they were interim studies and they granted extra time to shortening the date that they gave permission to extend number of days that they could to do the study. So So is that like a delaying tactic or I don't know. I don't think it's like seems like the chairs and education are pretty headstrong and it turned into let's just stop this. We won't hear anymore. So it was a very weird management kind of same old same old for this year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Roy. Yeah. So I do have an update on one of the federal funded uh programs that we received which is title six our Indian education grant. So it's a multi-phase uh application. Uh we completed phase one which is submitting our student counts um because of our ADM is down
048not surprisingly our student count for eligible title six students is is down about 19 students. So that leaves our allocation for this upcoming school year to $214,539. That could fluctuate up a little bit in the event that people pull out um our other student counts go down. Um but that will be for a grant award date between 7 July 1 25 and June 30th 26. Um last year we received um about $9,000 more. So, we're down a little bit. Um, but hopefully as our ADM increases as a district, so will our student count for title six. Um, our next step is to hold a public hearing, which we'll do next week. So, we'll invite any stakeholders who are interested to have comments on our application for this upcoming year. Um and then we'll also meet
049with the Indian parent committee uh which involves parents um any teachers who are interested as well as high school students and tribal representatives um to review the application and ultimately approve it before we submit it before May 9th. Yes, I have mental fog right now. Remind me again exactly what we use the title six for. So, at this point, Title Six is uh the the majority of the money that we receive for Title Six goes to personnel. So, it funds half of the director's salary for Native American education and then two um Native American student advocates who work in the school buildings. It also funds consultants um as well as supplies for teacher training. Perfect. Thank you. Sometimes I can't keep all the titles, but no, it's a lot to remember. That's a pretty significant
050amount of money though. I mean, that's definitely helpful. Christina, um I actually don't really have anything. I know that we have our board work session coming up and uh wanted to just talk through our high school is really starting to look towards proficiency based grading and a lot of that is because chapter 31 is making some big changes um which allows kids to move potentially at a quicker rate. Um competency. Yep. And so we're looking at what we can do to meet that new chapter 31 that's potentially coming through and then um just put our kids in a better position to continue to move through content that they can. So um I'll give you guys more information though as of what we're looking at and it is going to be a process um of getting
051communities u members to understand what that looks like. Um working through it. We're looking at doing uh cont teachers that are ready and content at a time, not doing it all at once. Um just going through that myself. It was nice when you had people that were ready, teachers that were ready, and we tried it, dipped our toe in a little bit to see what how it works, what do we need to change before just going all in at one time. So, thank you. Thank you, Christine. Yep. Well, and I guess I'll close it out with I don't really have anything. So, are there are there any visitors that would like to address the board?
