Just a couple quick updates. Uh number one is uh visiting and following up on all of our buildings as we've got into kind of the main uh part of September. Although it feels

004like second summer out there this week, I'm very happy to report that we're really really going after it. Um, looking from our young fives in preschool all the way up through our seniors, everybody's focused and uh, we're seeing a lot of out of the gate really good relationships built. We're seeing them going already into academics and really exploring and into the guts of the school year. So, I'm really excited that piece. Uh, the second related to our construction, we're very soon at hand and be taking possession of our new gymnasium for the junior high school and our students are going to be able to have full access as well fall sports. We're excited. It's an amazing facility and I encourage everybody out there if you have an opportunity to be able to either drive by

005or come to one of our events. It's really something to see. And the third part of my update this evening is just to let our community know that we are closely following events in Lancing as uh we near about two weeks uh short of a um requirement for our government to pass bills to fund uh schools and roads and everything else that we have going in the state. As far as it relates to schools, I'm working closely with our school board to make sure that um we have contingencies in place uh into the majority of fall to be able to continue school regardless of what the state does. So, I want to give some assurances and I want to keep that focus on the books, on the relationships, and everything else that we have going

006on in Clarkson schools, which absolutely amazing. So, I want to thank everybody. Thank you. >> Thank you, Dr. Ryan. Item five is our presentation items and the first presentation item is item 5.1 which is a presentation about our Clarkston students who visited New Zealand earlier this summer. Miss Murray. Thank you. Hi, I'm Laura Murray and I have with me Alice Andrea Pototts and they both accompanied me on the trip to New Zealand and thank you for approving trips like this. Um, just have some pictures to really show you what an amazing opportunity is for our students. Do I click through? >> Okay. Our first night we went to a Malry cultural experience um, which was really amazing. They taught us how to carve wood. um what else? Stick fighting and all of their different games.

007And then they prepared a huge feast for us with a lot of food we'd never tried before, but it was really, really wonderful. And they performed and they were just astonishing. >> These are them there. There's the chief in the middle. >> And we came to learn that actually several of them are professional performers. And the music that they played and sang was truly unbelievable experience. >> Yeah, they come to the states every two years and they've performed at the Smithsonian. So, it was really great to see. Uh, this is one of my favorites. We went to the Agrador dome and as you know, New Zealand, oh, maybe you don't know, but they have more sheep than they have humans in their population. And so, we got to see sheep sharing and a show of

008all of I think there were 19 different varieties of sheep there. and the students. It was one, I think, the favorites. Um, as well, >> during the water adventures, we spotted five different whales. Four were spermac whales. Sperm whales. One was a humpback whale. There were a lot of different dolphin families and colonies coming up to the ship, and there was a seal in the middle. Interestingly enough, the animals were fully aware that they were being observed. And when we were going to see the different animals and the boat was being turned around so everybody could see them, they would always turn to the left. Probably because they drive on the left side of the road. But it was interesting that they didn't, you know, swim away from this giant boat being turned. >> Um,

009I did ask for other students to contribute and so they sent some pictures. They said some of their favorite things there was seeing the mountains. We were in the Southern Alps on a train ride and also you could see them from the from the boats that we were on. >> Oh, the food. Um, New Zealand is very multicultural. There's people from all over the world that live there. So, we had lots of Asian food and Italian food and it was heaven. And it was all family style. So, they would just bring out plates and plates of food. So, we got to try tons of new things >> and they actually make their coffee for you to order which >> and their coffee is wonderful. >> You want to talk about that? >> Kiwis are their

010national bird. And interestingly enough, the only animals that were on New Zealand that are native to New Zealand are all birds. So, their main risk for their survival is non-native predators coming in to eat their eggs. And when their eggs hatch, they actually hatch as teenagers. They have incredibly short childhoods. So, >> it's basically being born my age. Incredible nightmare for parents. >> They are very secluded, introverted animals. They mate for life. And each individual kiwi bird has their own nests. They do not share nests post hatching. >> Yeah. Once the baby's born, the mom is gone. >> Go ahead. >> We were at the kiwi hatchery and because of the time of year, there weren't any being hatched and but we did get to see glimpses. This the one that you see is in

011a case. Uh but we we did get to see a few and we got to see kiwis on the tree. Also fruit. Um, oh, and we did travel with other group. We traveled with students from Hawaii, which was a really great way to bond. Um, near the end of the trip, students made friends from from there also. Um, and we had our guide, you see in in the picture, his name was Oops, that wasn't good. Thought maybe I had a Sorry. Our guide was Richard. He was a sixth generation kiwi. He's next to me in the top left. And he was just >> Oh, we still miss him. He was He was great. >> Great. >> He was really great. >> And then that was just a view of our one of the hotel rooms,

012the top accommodations. I think that was Oh, one more. >> Oh, we went to the Antarctic Center. Um, so we were five hours away from the Antarctic. It was really cool. We went on this Hogsland trip, which is the vehicle that they use to get through the Antarctic. And then inside they had um a room where you go in so you could experience an Antarctic storm and so they give you these parkas and you go in and I think it went down to like -50 in the room and the wind was blowing and it was it was really cool. And then do you want to tell them about the penguins? The little blue penguins are that you can see right here are in a recreational conservation site. It's a hospital recovery, but most of these

013penguins do not get to be released back into the wild because they are not healthy enough to be injured by dogs or >> the penguin that you see right here lost part of her brain and beak in a skiing accident. She's 15 years old and she cannot be rehabilitated back into the wild. So, they take care of her. >> That was it. Thank you for listening and again for spreading the word about the fantastic opportunities that we in Clarkson schools give our students. And thank you. >> Yeah, thank you. Does anybody have any questions? >> How long did you guys stay over there? >> It was a 10day trip. Mhm. We were there a solid week and it was a lot of travel. >> Wonderful. >> Yeah. >> When it was worth it, though. >>

014Yeah. >> How many students went? >> So, there were seven of us total. So, these two and then four others. >> Okay. Wonderful. Was it worth the the plane ride? >> Oh, yes. >> It sounds like it, but it's always been a little >> You should go. >> Yeah, it's always I think I read uh Whale Rider when it first came out when I was younger. Much younger. and it's I've been wanting to go ever since for sure. So, thank you very much for sharing this with us. I appreciate it very much. >> Thanks. >> Nicely done. >> Okay. Uh our next presentation is an update on the 2025 to 2030 strategic plan. Mrs. Mahoney, Mrs. Puzio, I turn it over to you. Thank you. >> Good evening. Uh we're very excited to present the

015strategic plan for 25 through uh 2030 and u want to really um present I think the pieces and I know that we've had a workshop around this but this does highlight um our proposed plan. Thank you. So, we wanted to uh just express uh you know the timeline uh that it took and so we really engaged uh over an 18month process and we actually started in January of 24 um which took us right up to June of 25 this past um June and we looked back at all the invites um on our calendars and looked at all the meetings that we had um and it it looked like over a 100 hours of meeting and planning um to put this plan in place. So way back in January through March, that block of time of

01624, uh we reviewed our previous process in terms of how did we gather to create um the former strategic plan and that reminded us of good processes in place and what did we want to keep and what did we want to tweak and the first step we really leaned into was develop a survey to reach out to our community. Um our community's voice is very important when we um put a strategic plan together. So, we reviewed our mission, our vision, our pillar, and our goals and um leaned into that environmental scan. We partnered with Dr. Wendy Astraman, who partnered also with Dr. John Good from Oakland Schools. Um Kelly Allen was significant in administering uh the survey and it we got almost 2,000 responses. um which was very important to look at each voice uh

017represented there and and what their desire was in creating uh the strategic plan. Dr. John Good did present not only a workshop but um here um at a board meeting in terms of results of that community survey that led to the beginning of the school year of 2425 where we we reviewed all that information. We finalized a mission and vision, four pillars and four goals which was the start um I think of the development and a strong start there. And then we took the rest of the time January through 25 as we wanted to develop strategies to meet those goals within those four pillars and to create a timeline which we call the Gant chart. And so we know that we can't do everything at once. And so this is kind of a spread of

018um action steps uh strategies to complete. I did want to highlight the 57 member team all versus included and so we met right here in this boardroom. Um it took a lot of work not only for these 57 members but to plan for these meetings to create meaningful dialogue um look at research look at the survey um in order to move forward. And so that 57 member team was made up of parents in our community. We had board members uh community members. We had curriculum leaders. Our building administrators were very important central office administrators. We had teachers. We had um instructional coaches, uh special education, shared services with our special programs, our counselors, we had social workers, and we had people from operations. So, a really solid um I think very vibrant team to look

019at um what we wanted to put together. So, we did lean into our former mission. We did tweak, this was approved by you on December 9th of 24, that Clarkson Community Schools will provide a challenging, healthy, engaging, safe, and supportive educational experience in partnership with families and our community. Our vision is something we continually strive for. This was also presented and improved December 9th of 24 where students of Clarkson Community Schools are wellprepared to lead successful, fulfilling lives and embrace their future with confidence. So this really leads now into the four pillars. Um you're going to see pillars that um we've kept and maybe tweaked a little bit and then the community was really had a strong voice with two newer pillars too. So our first is academic excellence and student success. This is written

020first purposely because our community had the strongest voice in this arena. So the goal here is to prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to thrive academically, succeed in future careers, and contribute to their communities. We developed three strategies. Every strategy you'll see in the presentation tonight begins with we will. And so we will improve student learning outcomes. We will implement effective research-based tier aligned instructional practices. We will research and proactively develop and refine our programs. And so I know you've seen this. I just wanted to highlight those few pieces there. Um those strategies we we believe will um lead us towards the accomplishment of our goal. And Stacy's going to go through the next two pillars. And you will notice that there's a color correlation with all of our um pillars. So academic

021excellence is that green. And so that flows through in all of the work and that will continue to flow through for the next five years. Well-being and personal growth, you'll notice is purple. And the goal there is to nurture the whole person by addressing mental, emotional, and physical well-being to ensure lifelong success for students and staff. And so we have three strategies with this one as well. We will promote mental health and emotional intelligence initiatives. We will offer a wide range of opportunities for involvement. And we will position students with the knowledge and skills to engage in informed and responsible citizenship. Now, we had a well-being component in our last one, and this has been tweaked a little bit. This next one is new for us as a pillar, and this is the district family

022and community engagement. And the goal for this one is to foster meaningful relationships with students, staff, families, and community partners to promote trust and active involvement. And so, for this one, there's actually four different strategies. And the first one is to say we will create school and district environments where all students, family, staff and community members feel valued, seen, and supported. We will empower families to actively participate in their child's education. We will strengthen and expand reciprocal partnerships with community organizations and that will help us to grow that. And we will ensure consistent, transparent and accessible communication. Our fourth was also a voice from the community and this is somewhat newer but it does wrap around operational and staff excellence. This is our gold standard. Um and so we want to provide high quality staff

023operations and infrastructure to cultivate an environment of safety and success. And so we have five strategies here. We will ensure high levels of satisfaction and retention um I think for teaching and non-eing staff. We will invest in continuous growth constantly for Clarkson Community Schools. We will ensure a safe and secure welcoming environment for all that includes students, staff and visitors. We will maintain and upgrade our buildings, all sites, all infrastructure and we will ensure fiscal responsibility um over um these five years. So um those are our four pillars. Uh each pillar has a goal and again the strategies are outlined. So this is a rough draft. Upon approval I think we're going to dive in and make sure that this is exactly um how we want to lean into but I did want to highlight

024indicators and measurables. I think it's important how we know that we have success within the four pillars. And so again I know that you've had this. So, um, in our first academic excellence and student success, I'll just highlight the third one there. We're so excited about MTSS and all the work that's done been done at elementary on October 10th, which is which is a professional learning day in our district. We are launching the secondary handbook um to guide again MTSS, which is tier one instruction. That is the instruction that all students receive. It highlights tier 2 instruction, which is kind of an intervention. what do we do when our students are not successful? And then even tier three is how do we even reach one-on-one opportunities um to really ensure that our students are succeeding?

025And so well-being and personal growth, I'll highlight then I'll continue that MTSS because there's also an MTSS component for mental health and behavioral needs. And so how can we improve the intervention process? How can we progress monitor and examine the needs of our students and help to respond to those needs and collaborate sometimes outside of Clarkston for th with those organizations who might be able to better support our students under district family and community engagement. Um uh one of those is to provide some professional learning to our staff that focuses in on that empathy and welcoming environment. What does that look like? What does it feel like to be a student, a staff member, a family member in our schools? And then operational and staff excellence. And just, you know, zooming in on this bottom

026piece, implement effective budgeting and transparent reporting aligned with our district goals. We're excited um I think to partner with Mary Beth Rogers, but to bring in a new uh hire soon just to look at fiscal over the next five years. This bottom um little color grid is the entire grant chart. Um it is a link uh to see um the 5-year plan for both elementary and secondary. And I just want to thank I think every member on our 57 team. I want to thank our board to continually guide and offer insight and feedback. Um and then I want to thank Heidi, um Stacy here, um Dr. Austribban, Kelly Allen, um you know, Jessica Kimmel. Yes. From operations. and that was the small group that kind of guided the big group. So um a lot of

027work, a lot of pride here and um just want to say thank you and I'm super excited to lean into this. So any questions that you might have? >> Any questions from the board? >> No. Uh so I just wanted to say thank you again. I know the board we had a a lengthy workshop just a couple weeks ago on it and I asked you to present for the greater community and so I thank you very much. Mrs. Egan and I were the me the board members uh on the committee and I know I said it two weeks ago but it bears repeating that it was amazing how you took 57 different opinions and different thoughts and different people and voices and much like hurting cats but successfully were able to really do this and

028do it so well. Um I'm also very excited to lean into it. I love the new pillars. I think uh Mr. Mr. Hire and I were recently talking about community engagement and I think that's going to be a huge part of it. So, thank you very much. >> Okay. Uh we'll move on to item six, action items. Item 6.1 is approval of personnel changes.

034Mrs. Rogers. Okay. You've received the materials for June, July, and August. Oops. Sorry about that. Okay. So, the current monthly financial update as of August 31, this would just be starting July 1st. You were just given the June data because I wasn't able to give it to you over the summer. Um, the budget to actual right now is 3.41%. Um, really the only thing you've received at this point is about 25% of local revenue, which is your tax, summer tax collection, is the majority of that. Um, your budget to actual expenditures right now are at 7%. And your highest would be your operation since you start we start paying our operational staff July 1st. And your August 31st fund equity is right now at 25.7 million and we're expecting the unodudited fund equity to end

035at about 28.9%. 28.9 million. Um, do I have any questions on any of the materials of the three months of data that you received, >> President Crane? >> Yes, I have a question. >> I'm curious, how much are we dipping into our fund equity for every payroll that we have to pay out without any budget from the state of Michigan to pay our teachers? >> Have not figured that out yet. >> Would we? >> It wouldn't be dipping into fund balance. It would just be um cash flow would become an issue for Clarkston. >> And the point I'm just making is that luckily we have a fund equity. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And that fund equity equity will keep us afloat while the legislature determines what our budget's going to be. So it's it's like

036living out of our savings account right now. >> Yeah. You'll be we normally would receive our first one October 20th. And if the state doesn't get the state budget passed in time, then yeah, October 20th and we get about $10 million a month from the state. So if we didn't get that October 20th and that would dip right into that, we're at 25 million right now. So then you're you have about that cash in your bank right now. So then you would have 15 million, but you're also trying to make payrolls every um by monthly. So it would be really rough. Yes, you'd have to start looking at maybe borrowing or something if they went much past I would assume October 20th. >> And Miss McInness, just to kind of reiterate, that date is very

037important for our community to recognize. So, as I said, we don't expect our first payment in any given year till October 20th. So, if the state shuts down on October 1st, we're almost 3 weeks, 20 days into it before we would be missing a payment. And I would be hardressed after all the state services shut down for even a matter of days how catastrophic and chaotic that would be as you said. Additionally, our rough figuring and again not holding Miss Rogers to this but when we sat down to look at it is about 10 million a month which just simple math seeing we have close to 30 million in the bank. We are spending into that right now. >> Yes, as you >> so we're going to burn into it but easily through Thanksgiving and

038at least right now I'd look at our community. I have no intention to recommend the board that we go out and borrow money uh to continue operations. We're going to spend every dollar while we can will last several months and then I feel like that we should lean on our legislators to hopefully have everything moving forward by that point. >> Yeah. And I would just like to say my point isn't that I want to create any hysteria of any kind. I just want to point out that luckily we have in the 18 years that I've been on this board really focusing on establishing a fund equity and many years ago that fund equity didn't exist like that. We were lucky to have 10 10 million and then borrowing to to process payroll. So it was

039a goal of the board to make sure we had a fund equity that we had a healthy balance to maintain the district and and obviously we do. >> Well said. Thank you. Thank you, Mrs. McInness. Is there any further questions or comments about this? Thank you very much, Mrs. Rogers. I know I think we were saying leaning on legislators. I don't think we should wait. I think we should do it now. >> Yep. >> But for sure. Uh which leads us actually into item um 7.2, which is a COSBA advocacy conference update. Uh Mrs. Love was set to give it, but as she is absent, I will. Mrs. Love and I attended a COSBA advocacy on behalf of Clarkson schools. Mr. Hyer was there as a COSBA board member for MASB. Um I know everyone

040on this board I think except for Mr. Clark has been to the advocacy conference that we go to for NSBA every January. And uh if you're not aware, there are now two national schoolboard associations. one is the NSBA and one is COSBO which is consortium of >> states >> state school board association. Um and so as Mr. Hire is now a board member sitting for COSBA, we thought it would be good to attend that. We did in um we've done a couple COSBA things, we've done a couple M N M N M N M N M N M N M N M N M N M N MSBA things. We're trying to figure out which is the best. Uh unfortunately, I felt like both have value. Unfortunately, it's it's it was I I got a

041lot of value out of this. I think it would be good for the members who have been to NSBA to maybe go to this one because it was different. It was very interesting. They had panels in which they had uh Congress people from both sides of the aisle basically sitting in front of us and talking about issues which was really interesting. Um we so the conference itself was one day which I really liked which gave us more time to set up meetings and meet with legislators which we did on Tuesday. Um and we talked a lot about our new strategic plan. We pitched Clarkston and explained how when the state of Michigan in general tends to be going down in test scores, Clarkston is going up. We talked to uh Lisa Mlan's office and asked

042that they use us as an exemplary model. Um which I feel like, you know, the aid that we talked to was very receptive to that. We had some very good conversations in a time when I feel like it's a little hard, a little dark. So all in all, I would say it was a very successful advocacy trip. So thank you. Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Hire or myself? No. Okay. Thank you. Item nine is the second opportunity for citizens to address the board. >> Okay. Oh, sorry. Thank you. Item eight is the I tried to skip it, but I won't. Discussion item on board goals, especially since I'm the one who put it up. Um, thank you everybody. Uh, our retreat was last month and we spent what, four or five hours really

043kind of hammering out some goals for the year and I sent those out in draft and I did get some feedback which I appreciate very much. So, we approved those board goals today and then I would like to I sent this out to the board as a draft. I'd like to talk about assigning each of the eight or seven goals to at least two board members per and I would like those board members to take ownership of those goals and report out on them periodically and check in on them and you know kind of make sure hold us accountable as a whole board for making sure that they get done this year.
