Agenda item number four, approval of the agenda. >> I move to approve the agenda as written. >> Support. >> It is moved and supported. Any discussion hearing? No discussion. All those in favor of approving the agenda say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. Agenda item number five,
002superintendence report. Mr. Patterson. >> Thank you, Madame President and Board of Education. Welcome back to the August meeting. one day before our students officially return on Wednesday. Uh our staff has returned this week. We had a welcome back celebration for contracted services on Monday here at Jackson High School. That went very well. Um and again on Tuesday for our instructional staff. Today we were at Gan Davis. So thank you uh madame president for attendance and trustee treasurer ready as well came with his tennis program and um during these meetings we're just really celebrating um our valued employees kind of sharing the outlook for the upcoming school year building that enthusiasm making sure we're all on point and know where we're headed for uh the school year there's been a lot of communication about our upcoming
003bond and so everywhere I go and Everything I do uh will include a portion of making sure the community including our staff are well informed on the upcoming bond. So we have a lot of literature that is here. Uh we're able to hand out so they have that in their possession as well as in our buildings they'll start to see signage. So this is new that we have these items in our possession after we agreed upon the things that we said we were going to do. Now we make sure that's visible in all those spaces. So, it's an exciting time. We had um four open houses last night and the remainder of our elementary schools today. Uh opening our doors, teachers will be present and staff so that families can come in for those first
004introductions. We had a successful kindergarten camp where we could just focus on our kindergarteners. That went very well. uh sixth grade step forward at Parkside, Viking Voyage at Jackson High School, and those open houses are just a great time to bring the energy back into the building. So, we're excited about the 2526 school year, the bond program. Just a super exciting time. Um tomorrow is the first day for our students and so it's a half day of school, Thursday and Friday. uh will be full days of school. We've sent flyers home about um transportation things are up on the websites, classroom, teachers, meet and greet. So all those first things of school seem to be going very well at this point in time. So a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm. Today we had a
005keynote speaker who just talked the importance about building the culture and communicating out that culture of Jackson Public Schools. Her name was Carla Tantillo Filibar and I believe she was very well received um today by our staff and just really poured into them. Had them working collaboratively and interactively with one another and like I said just a lot of positive energy for all of our employees going back into the school year. So um we welcome you to all things welcoming back. I might propose that we remember this because I can remember this is the second year in a row that we have a school board meeting the day before school. I don't know if some of you are interested like I'm interested in being at these open houses. But as we start to think ahead
006to next year, maybe we look at this date and see do we want to continue to do this. Maybe families aren't going to come out to the board meeting because they have to be there. And so potentially we could look at another date next year if it's still the third Tuesday and we start school on the third Wednesday. That might be something to consider as we move forward. But other than that, um 25 26 is on the way. Day one with staff, day two, and looking forward to all of our young people returning back to our buildings tomorrow. That concludes the superintendent's welcome back unless you have any further questions. Any questions? Thank you, Superintendent Patterson. At this time, we will move to agenda item number six, the consent agenda. >> I move to approve
007the consent agenda. >> Motion and support for the consent agenda. Any discussion? All those in favor? I. >> Any opposed? Hearing no opposition. Motion carries. We have one citizen willing to address the board. Mr. here. Oh. Oh, there we go. Okay. Um, thank you to the board for having me. Uh, for those of you who don't know me, I am Jason Hill. I am the strength and conditioning coordinator here at JPS. Um, and I want to talk to you guys about the presidential fitness test for a minute if I could. Um, before I begin, my statement is going to include mentions of sexual assault. So, that's something to be aware of. Um, throughout my hiring process with JPS, I spoke about my career-long goal of helping kids improve in their sport in the immediate sense,
008but also help kids uh build foundational habits for their for their adult life, good fitness habits. uh my position existing and my hiring into it I believe is evidence the board shares that vision at least mostly uh and I believe the PFT the presidential fitness test is a deviation from that uh that shared goal. My two main issues with the PFT are the test itself and the people implementing it. The first is the test itself. I love testing. I'm a strength coach. When I test, I interpret the results. Uh when I test, I have a plan to improve results. And when I test, I do it for a reason. That's my job. Uh, the PFT doesn't accomplish any of those things. The PFT sets arbitrary guidelines that do not necessarily translate to day-to-day life. The
009PFT uses outdated tests that hardly relate to actual physical health markers. Uh, and the PFT leaves lasting negative psychological damage and reduces a person's enthusiasm for physical activity later in their life. Um, the PFT also has no infrastructure for helping kids improve their scores and it doesn't have any infrastructure to help kids prepare for the test itself. Studies from the University of Kansas have shown that adverse experiences with physical education actually has detrimental impacts on kids later in life to the point where a lot of their fitness results are worse than people that did not have physical education at all. This isn't a zerorisk game. This is not up is not the only direction. Something is not necessarily better than nothing in this case. Um the actual test itself was discontinued as I'm sure many
010of you guys know in 2013 under the Obama administration. it was replaced with the presidential youth fitness program. The reason for that is because a test is only as good as your ability to change the results. If it's if you're just taking a test, that's a snapshot. That's not measuring progress as good fitness tests do. Um, now for the sensitive part, the people in charge of implementing this test. Uh, Donald Trump signed an executive order to reinstate this test. Uh, and here are some of his thoughts regarding, excuse me, exercise. According to a nearly nearly a dozen sources close to Trump in his first term, he did not use the White House fitness center once in his four years in office. Um, Donald Trump has also been on record saying that he believes in the
011B the battery model of life energy. It doesn't make any sense. It makes about as much sense as it sounds like. Donald Trump believes literally that every step you take is withdrawing from a gas tank that you can't replenish essentially. um more rigorous uh exercise is equivalent to hitting the gas guzzler on your car. Um and now for the staff he's put in charge. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has waged a war against health his entire career. As health secretary, he has seen multiple measles outbreaks. As of August 5th, we have seen over 1300 confirmed cases of measles, which has more than triple the amount of all the cases in the calendar year of 2024. Uh Robert F. Kennedy has also overseen a health department that has cut research to childhood cancer, vaccine research, and he's
012even gone as far as to say anti-depressant drugs lead to school shootings. But that's not the worst part. Uh the worst part is the a member of the presidential council of sport and fitness, Lawrence Taylor. For those of you who are not familiar with Lawrence Taylor, he is a long time a long time friend of Donald Trump. And here is a quote I'd like to read. This is a prepared statement. He said, "I'm just proud to be on this team, man. I don't know why. I don't know what we're supposed to be doing, but I'm here to serve and I'm here to serve Trump. Um, but Laur Lawrence Taylor's incompetence isn't the worst part. Lawrence Taylor is a convicted sex offender. Lawrence Taylor is not allowed on this campus to help our PE teachers implement
013the test he's in charge of implementing. Um, I want you guys to picture a physical ed teacher, physical education teacher who has questions about the PFT. The higher up the chain of command that teacher goes, the farther from this campus that person has to be. I don't think that that is uh a sign of people who have children's best interest in mind in any way. Uh I agree with the I agree with the president's point of view that this test will drain life from kids. This will lead to kids being more sedentary as adults. This will lead to kids uh having higher levels of depression and anxiety and there will be no real health outcomes in exchange for the cost of this test. If the PFT is implemented in JPS schools, I do believe in
014my professional opinion the board owes answers to the public regarding these concerns. Thank you. >> Thank you, Jason. Agenda item number eight, discussion item 25-26-13, playground update for John R. Lewis and Northeast Elementary. Marcus, please. >> All right. So, um, we discussed this at our August 7th finance and facility committee meeting. As you know, we do have some excess bond funds left over from the 2018 bond that we are um assigning projects to. And there's a few buildings that we are looking to make some playground updates um at John Lewis. Uh we're looking to add some pieces like the inclusive world that we have at Dibble, if you've seen that. Um and same thing at Northeast along with some more music pieces. Um just again continuing to update the playgrounds as we have throughout the
0152018 bond program and some of these buildings either have different increased populations or we have not added or updated those playgrounds in a while. So we're looking to take a first step here. Um again this is just for discussion tonight. We'll bring this back next month for full approval. But we would be looking at adding these pieces to ensure that children of all abilities can safely part participate promoting health, social interaction, and accessible play. The amount of the quote for both buildings is $127,735.98. >> Thank you, Marcus. Quick question. As far as the removal of the existing equipment, who's responsible for that? What do we do with that equipment? >> So, in these two instances, we're adding equipment. We're not replacing. So, there's no removal. Um, if you see removal on the quote, it's probably
016for the um the grass and dirt because it requires a different surface. It's a portable rubber surface instead of wood chips. >> Um, so I don't know if that's what you're seeing, but we're not replacing old equipment. This is just extra. >> Thank you. Um, Ar just asked when you bring it back, can you bring pictures for the board? Any other discussion? Thank you, Marcus. Agenda item 25-26-14, MDE, EV bus grant. Marcus. >> All right. So, we've mentioned this before again. Last year, we applied for and was awarded and received funds for more EV buses through the state of Michigan program. The first batch was through the EPA at the federal level. Um, this grant is a 90% funded grant, which means there' be a 10% cost share to the district. Um we have determined
017um we applied for four EV buses but we are looking to purchase two one for gen ed and one for special ed. Uh that is what the current infrastructure allows at the transportation garage right now. Um so the total potential cost to the district would be about $82,000 for both buses combined which is about half of what you would pay for a brand new bus on its own. Um, now again, this is for discussion again this month. We're going to potentially bring this back next month as we're right now talking with our partners at Highland Electric to see what our current contract, how this would affect our current contract with the EV buses. Um, as you know, we've partnered with them. They own the buses. They own the infrastructure. U, we've started speaking with them.
018There's a possibility that if the numbers work out and we go forward with this, they would probably purchase these buses as well, meaning they would pay for 100% of the cost. So, we would have zero cost share. Um, so that's new since the finance uh meeting that I had to share. Um, but again, we'll bring this back with more information next month once we've worked through some of those contract questions with them. >> Thank you, Marcus. Any discussion? Okay. Agenda item number nine, action item 25-26-15. JPS has one member attending the 2025 MASB annual conference in October. This year it will be held at uh Trevor City. Board members who attend in person are encouraged to participate in the delegate assembly, which decides MASB's positions on a wide variety of issues affecting education. Delegates must
019be named and certified by October 2nd in order to actively participate in the delegate assembly. JPS is allowed to designate three delegates and three alternates. The recommendation today is that administration recommends the board certify Marilyn Actton and two other board members as delegates for the MASB conference as presented. Um I move that we certify Marilyn Actton as a delegate for this conference annual conference. Thank you, Miss Emanetti. >> Support. Any discussion? So, I made the motion. I obviously don't have a problem with certifying Maryland, but I would like to see us do a better job of presenting these opportunities to the whole board. Um, because we don't talk about upcoming conferences and opportunities. And I mean, we get emails from MASSB, but as a board, we don't discuss it. And I would like to see
020us make a better attempt at spreading out the funds that are available for education for the board because especially with new members, I'm not sure they have that information or know what's available. Thank you. Moving forward, we can do that. I am aware that a email did go out asking if anyone was interested and Marilyn was the only one that responded as being interested. >> Absolutely. Thank you, Elena. >> I would love to be able to go. It's just >> availability. >> Timing and availability. Yeah. Makes it tough, but I would love to be a part of it. I just unfortunately can't can't do it. >> Thank you. Any other discussion? Yes. What are we discussing? >> We are on agenda item number nine, the MASB delegate assembly. Notice went out asking for interest. Marilyn
021Actton was the one board member that expressed interest. We did make an announcement at the uh at a previous board meeting during the announcement saying that it was coming up. So the the delegate assembly, we're not talking about the conference itself, just the delegate part. >> Just the delegate. >> Okay. And I was going to say when I came in, so one, forgive me for being late. Those of you who are watching, eye in the sky. Um, I'm just getting off the highway. Um, I think it's a good idea for someone else to be a delegate. I've been a delegate almost every year. Um, so I wouldn't have wanted that. That's why I didn't apply reply to that. But the conference itself, I did reply to. And um, Sarah should already have that information. But
022we're not talking about the conference itself, though. >> We're not talking about the conference. Okay, >> we have a motion and a support for the delegate assembly for Maryland Actton. Trusty Hamilton, did I hear you correctly in saying that you've been the delegate previously and you are not interested? >> Correct. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And like I said, Sarah should already have information that I'm going to the conference, you know, the annual conference, but I wasn't interested in being a delegate. So, that's why I didn't respond to that. Any further discussion? All right. So, the motion is to support Marilyn Actton as being the delegate for this year's MASB delegate assembly. All those in favor? I I >> Any opposed? Hearing no opposition? Motion carries. 25-26-16 superintendent evaluation worksheet. We were provided uh proposed goals from
023Jeremy as promised from our last meeting and Jeremy I am going to let you lead that conversation. >> Thank you. So based on the discussion that we had at our last work session, I appreciate all the input and feedback. We talked about um the goals from the previous year where I feel like uh I was actively involved in the plans of the district that would include staying the course with many of them including improving student attendance. The reason why I selected a three p% decrease and the percentage of chronically absent students because that's the same percentage that we have in our partnership agreement. And so that became a goal across the district and that we didn't just focus on one school but all schools. And so when you look at last year 2024 2025 data,
024we will have only the first trimester of 25 26 data to compare to. And so that's what I'm proposing is that we will show a 3% decrease in the first trimester as compared to last year showing that we're on the proper trajectory. Uh group uh goal number two, we had discussion surrounding student voice and listening to the board of education. I thought there was an interest in getting out into our elementary, middle, and high school uh leadership groups, listening to our young people. So, I would act as a liaison to um find out your availability and when our kids are meeting so we can be present listening to them so we can um inform our community or make decisions at the board table based on um what our students are currently doing in their space.
025And so we talked about the way I understood it was a little bit less of a priority. So that's why it is a 2% as opposed to a 5% cuz there was a goal added. My understanding that a top priority for the district is the 2025 bond program. So that's new that was not in place last year and the way I understood the feedback was that was a a top priority for the district. So that's 5%. the board had discussion that it shouldn't just be a pass fail to say you get these 5% or not. So I tried to add success criteria here. So if you saw the link then you'll see what the success criteria of building a steering committee. Um some of the work has already been done uh towards this work which
026I added there. Um there are some measurables about number of touches, listening sessions, um obviously a favorable vote, uh fundraising, and um other related items that I'm sure you've had some time to review, and I'd be glad to um answer any questions you might have. And then finally, the partnership agreement has been a three-year process in our strategic plan to improve not only the identified schools, but all Jackson public schools were near completion on that. And I know the district has uh future goals, but specific to this one is just exiting the partnership agreement with the Michigan Department of Education. And so if I identified four things that we need to do to exit uh 2/3 of the process goals which you can see there uh onethird of the interim target benchmarks which is local
027data which there's only one so that's actually 100% there and then at least one of the um state assessment benchmarks which there are two identified side and then finally increase our overall index score. Um so that is the success criteria again to be specific about um what success looks like and the other items did not change the student growth and assessment data. Excuse me. only one goal change that is now changed the MTSS goal which was previously the equity goal and so we've identified what that language looks like specific to um helping students who are falling behind. Um so we will collect data. So the way our evaluation process works with our student achievement is these are teacher goals that become administrator goals that become superintendent goals. So, it's the collective. We're all keeping our
028eyes on the same targets specific to student achievement and growth data. And then the final area of professional practice and those five domains are as the um evaluation tool is comprised by MASB. So that's just a brief discussion of what I believe to be um what I understood from our work session, but we'll entertain any discussion or any questions you might have. >> Any discussion? Thank you, Jeremy. >> Missetti, >> um just one question on the goal number one about attendance. When is the end of the first trimester and will we have that data in time to do your evaluation? Yes, the end of the trimester is right around Thanksgiving and so there should be multiple weeks between the conclusion of the trimester which will have that data immediately and if we have a work
029session I think is how it would work and then a final board meeting I believe is December 16th where we would um discuss that evaluation publicly. >> Okay. And I'm sorry I think we're out of order. I would like to make a motion to approve the superintendent evaluation worksheet. >> We done with discussion. >> No discussion. >> Second. >> Motion and second for discussion has been made. Any further discussion? Trusty Hamilton. >> Yes. Um so I have questions around the student voice. Um, level number two. Um, I know when I first came on to the board, um, Jeff was doing some of these, uh, basically listen and learn sessions, I guess. Um, where, you know, we came and and listened to him uh, while he asked questions of the uh, students. Um, so this is
030what this reminds me of. Is this similar or is it different? And if it is different, how? >> Yeah, I think I recall one year um Dr. Thompson helped to facilitate like equityg guided questions to ask the students so we could listen and learn and then hopefully take some action steps. And so, as I recall not being our first year here, that building administration will continue to um have a diverse group of young people that comprise a leadership team with the exception of uh something different is student government and student council. I'll get into that next. But I would have the same expectation that students understand that we want to hear from them and understand what their school experience is like to give to administration. And then my ask of them was what did you
031do as a result to the student voice to improve the things that they're asking you to do. So, um they would provide examples of uh what students were asking for to make those opportunities available or to move in a different direction. So, they would have some action items that would they would report back out on to show um they were heard and um action was taken. >> This is what you're proposing or is that what are you refreshing? >> I think I think that's the first part of what's been happening. Yes. >> Oh, sorry. This is already happening. >> Yes. Okay. Um, more questions on that. Um, it said leadership team. Who leadership group? Who's the what that who who are those students? >> So, what I'm proposing that's new with leadership teams is specific
032to Jackson High School student government and middle school at Parkside student council. So those are groups that were chosen by their peers that we will as a board have opportunity to go to the students and understand um what they want to communicate back out to the board of education. So I would be a liaison to help um understand like what are their protocols, what are their processes, where their action so the board can be informed about what leadership looks like at the middle school and high school level. Elementary is a little less formal um because you know you predominantly might be looking at some of your fifth grade students that are ready for that um level. However, I would anticipate and expect that um elementary schools will have leadership teams or student voice teams as
033well. >> Okay. So, just so just so I'm understanding correctly, uh Jeremy, it sounds like um these groups are already formed and and and I'm saying already formed as in because this is something that's kind of established and so you know that is in already formed because they're established. Correct. Okay. And then there's a criteria um you know uh that we use in order for people to be eligible maybe and maybe that's just simply them voting on them the students voting on them. Is that the criteria? >> Yes. >> Okay. Okay. So um so part of my concern and and you know I know that this is a plan and you know if you remember uh from our work study um you know one of my suggestions was to kind of bring back a plan
034and that be the bulk of the work that you do around this particular uh point because you have so much other stuff going on with the bond you know. So just just know that that's kind of where the back of my mind is at, you know. Um but what one concern that I have when it comes to um who's on the teams is that oftentimes the individuals who are engaging in that level of um engagement at school are those who are oftentimes engaging in that level of engagement at school. There's a group of individuals who are not engaging in that way. um who if we were able to pull them in some kind of way, we'd figure out um some of the you know uh attendance issues, you know, why they're not engaging, the the
035the bad grades that they may or may not be getting. Like we might would be able to, you know, not only engage them, but then we might even be solving for some other problems that we have. Um and I don't know how we solve that. You know, that's something that I'm sure your team could kind of, you know, talk through and figure out and something that, you know, I've been harping on since I've been here. Um, but I would love to see in this plan, even if it's simply just a plan that you create that, you know, that you test and redo and you know, like the whole thing, you know, when it comes to a plan, but I would love to see um us not being um only intentional about engaging, you know, leadership
036type people. Um because again often who's the kids who are engaging are those who are engaged you know I mean they they have a lot of support at home they have good grades they're the they're the people who are you know who are uh signing up or uh you know um uh sorry campaigning you know I know they don't really campaign but you know they're the ones campaigning to become student government you know I mean and oftentimes those groups look the same the same makeup of kids are on those groups you know I mean a lot of supported children clearly we want them on that group but we also want to figure out how do we engage these other ones and a A lot of times those people whose voices are not being engaged for
037whatever reason, you know what I mean? No fault, no nothing, none of that going on, but for whatever reason they're not being engaged, if we were intentional about pulling them in, we get a lot of information that we um that we really need to have. So, I would love to see you include some of them. I don't know how we do that. Um and and and like you said, this is just the first part of your plan, which I'm glad for. Um because I would like to see more, you know, other ways that we uh you know, seek out student voice. So anyways, I just, you know, I would love to see some of that in your plan. >> Understood. Thank you for that feedback. >> Jeremy, when um when will these listening sessions begin?
038I know you said you was going to be the liaison for our availability and when the students are meeting. >> Yes. So, uh I met with a teacher yesterday. So, they're going to meet with the students to establish those dates and I will get those dates to the board of education as soon as their groups and dates have been identified. I know Jackson High is a little bit further along in the process because they kind of started it last year. I think Parkside might see uh you have new students showing up this year and kind of open it up as the school year begins. And I believe it's the same advisor, but I'm not sure. It'll be the same date as last year. So, I will get that. I'll have that back to you before
039the next board meeting. >> Thank you. >> That was your question. >> Okay. Any other discussion? >> One more. Um when you have those meetings, please uh uh do it Zoom. There'll likely be during the school day because the kids hopefully they'll be through the school day because that's another thing. You know, if you're able to come after school, it's probably because you can come after school. Some kids can't come after school. So, um if and when it's during the school day, please do um have a Zoom so that some of us can join. Um because I usually can't do stuff in town unless it's by Zoom. >> Thank you. More than likely they will be during the day. >> Any other questions for Mr. Patterson regarding the goals that we have been provided? All
040right, we have a motion, a support. Discussion is taking place. All those in favor of the goals as presented say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. Agenda item number 10. As we know, tomorrow, August 20th, is the first day of school. We're excited. Sure, there'll be lots of first day of school pictures. But please, if you can give a parent good luck, welcome them, all the students, high five. Welcome them to a new school year. September 16, 2025 is our next regular board meeting here at the JHS media center at 6 PM. Agenda item number 11. Is there any board member that has any comments? I would just like to say best wishes to students and staff for a great school year tomorrow and I hope it's cools down in these
041buildings. >> Thank you. >> I would uh I would like to give a thumbs up to all the folks who are everywhere in and around Jackson for the last two three days because as a parent of two kids I was breathedless. I mean I I I was having hard time to breathe last two days because I had to take orientation that guy to middle school and the other guy to sh park and then we were at welcoming in the morning and my tennis practice. So and I've seen every face is amazing uh how much time you guys committed to our school. Um, thank you and good luck for uh 2025 and 2026 students. >> Thank you, Mr. Dobies. >> Uh, just want to thank everybody in advance for a great school year. There's a lot
042of excitement out there. Um, attended uh Sharp Park open house and um got to see some of that uh energy returning from summer and excited for the year ahead. then um I just think we're really off to a great start and it's exciting to be a part of this with Jeremy at the helm guiding the ship so to speak as the Viking ship. So, um good luck with everyone. I'm super excited for this school year. appreciate all the hard work you do and everybody who's out in a classroom right now getting ready for to welcome those students tomorrow. We see you. We love you. We support you. We're rooting for you. We know it's been a big lift the last couple days and um and tomorrow the magic happens. So, thank you. So, um, to
043Jeremy and to the team this afternoon, I won't, um, go into details, but, um, I was in and out of meetings, so I wasn't able to be, um, on as much as I wanted to be, but um, I really appreciated how you all handled that situation. I wanted to say thank you for, um, how you handled that. It was great. I thought it was awesome. Thank you. Um, to our students and teachers and admin, all you all out there, welcome back. And best of wishes and good luck to 2425 2526. Thank you. 25 26. Thank you. >> Thank you. I too want to say welcome back teachers, students. Um I had the opportunity to attend one of the back to school events and just seeing the children get their haircuts and hair braided and the
044smiles and they were running around. The excitement. I stopped down at R.J.'s um ice cream spot this week and there was a group of teenage boys there and went by and asked each one of them, "Are you ready for school?" And each one of them had a different response and it was awesome. One said, "I want to get better grades." One said, "I want to go to school." The other one said, "Um, I want to have better behavior." It was just awesome to hear the students um vocalize some intrinsic like internal thoughts that they've had. So super excited about the success of our students. Teachers, we appreciate you. Thank you so much for all that you have done in getting prepared for this school year. I was at the breakfast this morning and Jane Davis
