Move to adopt the agenda as presented. Second. All in favor? I. Thank you. Next we have school spotlight Carney Junior High. Good evening. Um, for those of you that don't know me, my name is John Gooden. I'm the principal at at Carney Junior High School. It's my second year here. Um, and I still absolutely love it. Um, I really like this month
002because we get to come in here and showcase some of the great things that we have going on at the junior high. Um, we have several great programs. Um, we're building full of great students, great teachers, and tonight um, we get to showcase a little bit of that um, with our student council. And I'm going to turn it over to Mrs. Rothus. So, I'm Samantha Rothbus. Um, I brought some of my officers and they'll be speaking with you tonight. We have our president, Zoe and Sophie, and then we have Henry, Avery, and Avery, um, to represent our group. So, we're going to start off with Zoe sharing our mission in student council. Hi, I'm Zoe Pillar. I'm I'm the ninth grade president. And our mission as student council is basically just to make the junior
003high a safer place. Well, not safer, but a more inclusive space for the students here. And we plan a whole bunch of events to make sure we make it um just fun for all the kids to be at. And yeah, um I'm Henry West, the eighth grade vice president. And events that we have done is PJs and popcorn with just like you wear PJs and like we watch a movie. Pie the teacher which we were able to do at our assembly. Canned food drive to help like raise like food. And um Winterfest which we just did like a little celebration like after school. Um spirit stick competition which helped get people involved to like have school spirit at our school. And then a crush for your crush for like a crush soda for your crush
004or someone who's crushing it. So to raise money. Um, hi, I'm Avery Pickering. I'm the secretary for the freshman. And some of these events, luckily I was able to take pictures, but um, a lot of these events are actually spirit days. So, you can see in the bottom right corner is one of our social studies teachers after he raised I'm pretty sure it was over $100 for pying in the face. And there's many games that we did at assemblies like um we did a human oh gosh, what's the name? A human hungry hippo, that's the name. And a lot of the other people were just like dressed up for fun spirit days. We had Elf and the Grinch and just Sophie in the bottom corner speaking at assemblies. And that's just kind of what we
005did. It was a lot of fun. I'm Avery Wyrick. I'm the eighth grade secretary. And what we did to like collaborate with other people is we would like have announcements over the KJH TV thing so people would understand and then we had band and vocal performances at assemblies to like honor them. And then we had um more library resources. We helped that like to add more to them and the same with the PE equipment. I'm up. So part of our goal as student council is not just to make KJH a place where students belong, but our community members as well. So, some new things that we did this year was our Veterans Day assembly where we invited any um parent or guardian or friend of a student who was a veteran to be honored at
006our assembly. And then we also did a trivia night inviting families, students, and community members to put together teams to compete in trivia. Um I'm Sophie. I'm the eighth grade president and we get a lot of real world uh just learning and experiences from just student council in general. We get a lot of public speaking like right now. Um we organize a lot of events. We organize one every quarter. Um making financial decisions that goes in with also making just the events. We know how much to budget for. Um we learn to lead others and I also feel like we learn to follow others and just communicate. And um we get an interview and application for this. So, we learn real world whenever you need to do job applications and stuff like that. We want
007to thank you all for all of your support of student council. It's been a blessing to be able to lead this group of students and watch them develop if you guys have any questions. We'd be more than happy to answer what you have. So, what's the best event? Like, what's the one you like to do the most? Like, what was the biggest hit this year? Why? The teacher. probably the teacher. You're gonna get Mr. Carl to do that again? Probably. Okay, good. You should do it every year. Just because good. So, how do you do you uh apply and interview to be on student council? Is that what I got from what you said? Starts with we get emails that's starting up for an application. application will lead to you not your so their interview
008process they interview with me and both of our building principles if they're interested in being an officer just to express what skills they have that qualify them for the officer position and why they're interested in the role as well do you think a school board trivia team would do well or do you think it would do poorly political answer. We might get to find out next year. I I might put a team together. We'll see how it goes. We would love to have you. This year the theme was Carney, so hopefully our school Gordon could represent there, but can't keep the same questions every year. Very good. Well, thank you so much for coming tonight. Thanks for coming. Yeah, thank you. [Applause] up like you're going to line up right up here. Don't go anywhere.
009Okay. parents. Thank you. What are you going to do? Next we have recognitions. Mr. Hy. Good evening. Um the band has had a great year this year and um our most recent thing that bears recognition is the the students who qualified and performed at the state solo and ensemble festival uh back uh at the very beginning of May and that happened at Missou. We had um 10 students take part in I believe it was 13 or 14 events. Um, and then we had three gold medals, um, a bronze medal, and the rest were silver. Um, and so we have those students. Do you want me to just go in the alphabetical order? So, we're going to bring those students up. We have a few students who had prior commitments, but I believe we have a
010quorum for our group here as well. Um, Daisy Burnham played a clarinet solo. Elizabeth Demar is not here this evening. She played in an saxophone ensemble. Um Megan Grider played a baritone saxophone solo. She played in a mixed woodwin ensemble and a saxophone trio. So she was a busy lady. Um Alexandra Kinsler and Olivia Kinsler. I think they're both gone. Alex played in a solo on her saxophone and in the saxophone trio. Olivia played an obo solo. Then we have Haley Robertson who played a flute solo. Charity Smith who played a clarinet solo and mixed woodwind trio. Correct. Yes. Phoebe Taylor uh couldn't be here this evening. She played a flute solo. Drew Wimhof played a clarinet solo. And then Clara Wel played a flute solo and also took part in that mixed woodwin trio.
011Clara, thank you all for coming. Be sure to practice a lot. Don't come to work. Thank you all. [Applause] Next we have vocal Mr. McKini. Hello. I'm shorter than uh Mr. Hy. Uh first, before we recognize our kids, I want to thank the Carne board and Ray Wel. Uh we had a conflict this evening with a theater banquet and so the majority of our vocal kids are actually currently at another fine arts thing and they're receiving their theater awards and they're actually probably about right now announcing next year's musical. No, I won't tell you because I can't until I know for sure. Um but you'll find out. I'm sure tomorrow. Um, but we had 16 events qualify on the vocal side for state music contest this year. Out of those 16, we had four events
012receiving gold medals and the 12 other ones receiving silver. So, very strong showing from the vocal music department. Very proud of our kids. Um, seeing as most of our kids are there, what I think I'm going to do is just kind of name how they did and what groups and who were in there. And then I do have students here that that that were able to make it. So, we'll bring him up. But, uh, but definitely big shout out to to Rey for coming out and Mr. Vasquez was also there. We're able to pass out certificates. Ray got a picture of them and and they were able to do it in front of an audience of people at a banquet still and they're very very honored and they wanted me to pass along their thanks

[Applause] Don't go anywhere. Give the rents a chance. [Applause] Communicating with aggressive clicks. Okay, that's the fun part. Uh, we have no public comment tonight, so we'll move to the superintendence report. Thank you, Dr. Bailey. You know, it's hard to believe we're wrapping up the 2425 school year. Two more days. Um
015you know and again as we see here tonight um kids just continue to do outstanding things and that comes with support of teachers, parents, coaches and amazing families that provide that support. So we know that um it requires all of us to um see the results that we do on a year-to-year basis. So uh this past weekend we had graduation um big shout out to Dr. Just um again, wonderful event. 248 students uh across the stage um saw completion. So, congratulations to them. Want to give a shout out to Drew Wilson. If you happen to watch graduation, um he did a phenomenal job delivering the student speech. So, hats off to him. Uh and if you want to bookend something, uh tomorrow night, the early education graduation will be tomorrow night. So, that'll be lots
016of fun seeing uh little 5-year-olds in their caps and gowns. So, um, mark your calendars. Um, want to also mention, um, we've got, while graduation has occurred and the school year is wrapping up, postseason is still well underway for a lot of our students, track, baseball, soccer. So, again, um, our our kids are really continuing to thrive. Um, tonight, uh, I just want to mention, uh, we had, uh, want to reference a board vacancy. So, um, that's been a process that we've advertised. We had 10 people apply for school board for that vacancy. Um we the board interviewed earlier today three candidates. Um and they will um make a motion at a future date to fill that vacancy. So again um reflection of the incredibly supportive community. Um changing gears. Uh the legislative session has
017wrapped up. Um so while we're we're going to continue to watch that as the dust settles. Couple of things I want to just um mention. Um the legislature passed some things that we are going to continue to watch. Um we are very thankful to the legislature for um recommending uh full appropriation uh for the foundation formula and transportation. Um this uh house bill 2 goes off to the governor's desk. Um we know uh if you're watching the news that there's very likely um a special session will be called. So, while the money has been appropriated, whether we continue to see realize all of that is has yet to be seen, but we're appreciative of that work. Um, another bill that has passed the legislature is an omnibus bill um that's Senate Bill 68. And there's
018a couple of provisions in there I just want to mention as they will likely materialize over summer if the governor passes that. Um, and it has to do with the a potential cell phone ban and that would be a a bell-to bell cell phone ban. um if approved and signed by the governor and that would take place for the 25 26th school year. So, we're currently working with our attorneys on what that would actually mean. Um it it actually is written so that it would be more than just cell phones, but it could include iPads and smartwatches and earbuds. So, there's a potential ripple effect with what that could look like. So, I just wanted to forecast that for you. Um the other thing is we've had some discussion here es especially as an administrative
019team and uh with the board regarding the 169-day calendar. So there's some implications there on what we would do with AMI. So just want to forecast that there's still some uh things left to be done. Again special session could um inform us even more but um lot of work happening in Jeff City. So with that going to turn over. Good. Thank you. Okay. Okay, next we have the consent agenda. Move that the consent agenda be approved as presented. Second. All in favor? Opposed? Thank you. Information on project. Hello. Good evening everybody. Um so got good news to report this month. So, um, we set a goal early on in these projects. Um, each each of the three schools that we're working on has an addition to it and then a renovation over the summer. So,
020our goal was to be as far along as possible with those additions by the time school got out so you could focus all of our forces on the inside. And just happy to report we're right where we want to be. The additions are in great shape. Um, so first picture here, this is Carne Elementary. Um, this is the twostory. Second floor space is um, let's see, we've got paint on the walls now. Ceiling grid is going up. So, all that will be left to do is drop light fixtures in and then put flooring in. We're going to finish the second floor first and then move down to the first floor. So, the drywall finishers are on the first floor. So, it's just a few days behind it. Um, so things are in really good shape
021right there. Let's go to the next picture. Um, this is the outside. So, the roof is on. Uh, all the windows are in except for that one in the bottom picture there. So, we're what we call dried in. Um, so everything's how it should be on the outside. Dog wood. This is the furthest one along. So, this is essentially done. Um, roofs on, coping's on, windows are in. We'll do the site work as soon as school gets out for the summer, but in really good shape. Uh the next picture is the inside. So, really, we're painted out in here. Light fixtures are hung. I think we're Let's see. We're starting carpet uh or we're starting flooring tomorrow, and that's really the last thing in that space. Um a little bit of trim out and stuff
022like that, but it's in great shape. And then Hawthorne. Uh so, similar phase. Outside's in really good shape. Roof's on. There's a little bit of coping that goes right around the top of that wall to finish it up. Um, but we're dried in here. Then there should be one picture of the inside. So, yeah, this is the inside space. And at Hawthorne, um, we've got the first coat of paint on the walls on the inside. Ceiling grid is going in as we speak. So, then light fixtures, flooring, and the trim out stuff. So, all the additions are in good shape. Um, next week's a big week for us. So, soon as teachers move out, we move in in force. So, uh, we start, uh, demolition on Tuesday and we've got a big summer of a
023lot of activity each one of these schools. So, feel like we got a great plan and all of our trade partners are bought into that plan. So, I think it's going to be a good summer. And then some of the deferred maintenance things that you guys have approved over the last couple months, those will also begin next week, too. So, things like um carpet in some of the schools, window film on the schools, painting, and then we've got some flooring in South View that'll go after summer schools out. So, lots going to happen this summer. Um we should have some good updates over the next couple months, but things are right where they should be. Any questions for me? We talked earlier about doing a tour later this summer, so it's real to us, so
024we're excited. Yeah, we like tours, so we'll get one scheduled. Awesome, everybody. Thank you. Financials. Um, all of uh the financials are in your board packet. Uh, the biggest thing we need to tell you is we have a fund balance reaching 20.9%. Hopeful that that continues to go up. We still have a lot of transactions going on in the district in the district. Anybody have any other questions about those reports? Thank you. Program evaluation, health and wellness. Good evening everybody. My name is um Caitlyn Harstad and I am the lead district nurse. Um I have been this is my fourth year with the school district. The previous three I was at Dogwood. So thanks for having me and we'll just I'll give you a little highlight on what we've been doing this year. Um I
025am currently working towards a masters of science and nursing um specializing to become a family nurse practitioner. Um we have seven registered nurses, six with their bachelors um of science and nursing and one that is currently working on her masters. Um we also have one orthopedic nurse certification um on staff. Three of us hold the national certification in school nursing um and one is planning to take that exam this summer. So hopefully we'll add a fourth. um our licensed practical nurse has applied to nursing school to hopefully start soon to finish um and become a registered nurse herself. Um for the 2024 2025 school year, we did have to hire for five vacancies. Um I'm happy to report that everybody is returning next year, so that's a big win for us. Um, this slide just
026outlines our students with medical conditions. For this school year, we had 241 that had um documented medical conditions. Um, this isn't um an all-inclusive number, but it does give a fairly good representation of our student population. That number only increased by 18 since last school year, so we're holding steady. Um this just outlines kind of our chronic health conditions that are diagnosed by a healthcare provider. Um these numbers have remained pretty steady over the um last several school years. Um so just the most common things that we um see dayto-day. This just gives a um representation of how many encounters that each building sees. This data was run up until April 29th of this year. Um, since then, we have increased a total number of 3,640 additional encounters districtwide. So, even though we're nearing the
027end of school, we're still seeing a lot of students um and keeping them healthy in in the buildings. Um, immunization compliance. So, we worked diligently to maintain the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services immunization requirements. For the 2425 school year, we only had 165 students with religious or medical exemptions. Um, we also work closely with Klay County Public Health Center to host vaccine clinics at the middle school and high school. Um, we host two clinics um per year at each site, usually in the spring and in the fall. We also report syndroic information weekly to Derek Williams who's an epidemiologist at Klay County Public Health Center. Um that just helps us monitor illness trends especially during peak flu season. Um so we are excited to continue that collaboration. This is our the screenings that
028we do within the buildings every year. On the lefth hand side you can see um the Klay County data. Um, this is a resource that's available to all students who wish to participate with parental consent. Um, so they come in twice a year and do a dental screening and then fluoride varnish if they would like. On the right side is the LevelUp Kids program, Miles of Smiles. Um, this resource is available for families that qualify. Um, it is a fullervice dental program that comes to our district in the fall to provide those services. Um other screenings that we do within the district is um vision and hearing. Um LevelUp Kids I Care comes in um to screen all of our students. Um they do kindergarten through 7th grade for us which is really helpful. Um
029and then we get the kids in between all kids that are new to Carney School District get screened. Um, we also try to do 9th and 11th grade, but we can only accomplish those as time and resource permits. To touch on a few of our successes for the department, the health services team has maintained a positive impact on the students within the Carney School District through increased student attendance, communicable disease prevention, and maintaining a nurse presence in each building. um some opportunities for growth. Um in nursing in general, there's always opportunities for growth. Um this year we will focus this and next on including um emergency medical situation awareness um and response preparation in school setting and also just increasing the professional development in relation to school nursing and how it differs from a facility
030or organization. Our program goal um we will continue training for emergency response and focus on common health conditions and how best to treat those within a school setting with the resources that we have questions [Music] on slide five of my deck. Um but it's students with medical conditions that you showed. I note that in 2122 there was a larger increase in the number of students with medical conditions than every other year shown from an increase standpoint. Was that the result of a change in a definition? Was there just curious if you attribute that to anything that seems uh that seems that caught my eye. So I'm just curious if you have any thoughts on that. That that's a great question. Um I'd be happy to look into that. Obviously, that was preme. Um my my
031guess off the top of my head would be that was the year that we went from um COVID where we were at home and then the I believe the 2021 school year is where we did the schedule where they came back, the hybrid schedule. Um but I am happy to to look more into that and get an answer for you. I think I would I'd be interested to know if there it seems to me to be a result of a definition is what I think because otherwise it's there's something very off about that data there. So that's the only reason I pointed out is something seems weird about it. Sure. Yes, I will look into that. Overall decrease in our health room visits. That's what's any idea what's going on there? That um I did
032notice that as well. That's a big I mean there's a big drops on that. Yes. Um, I believe, you know, it comes down to charting. Are we charting every visit that walks in? Um, that is something that I preach to them going forward. Something as simple as, um, a chapstick request or a feminine hygiene product. Um, I would like them to chart that so we can see kind of how many students are coming in and coming through the health room and what their needs are. Um, so that we can better serve them going forward. I think it is worthy to note that that Caitlyn went over it pretty quickly, but she's done an excellent job supporting this wonderful staff that we have and and didn't have any turnover this year when that's been a been
033been an area that uh we've been had some concerns with and she's provided excellent excellent leadership this year and and a lot of support for these nurses and is encouraging those to get extra education and it's just been it's been a blessing to have her as the district nurse. So, I just wanted to point that out. How many men do you guys go through? A lot. Just like the same. Maybe a little too many sometimes. Yeah, we might not want to chart those. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you very much. It is great to see that everyone's trying to continue education and to continue certifications. Look like almost everyone is doing that. So, that's awesome. Yes, it's great. Right. Thank you so much. Thank you. Next, we have a written evaluation related to professional development. Questions
034about that? All right, we'll move on to action items. Career career ladder plan for 2526. Move to approve the career ladder plan for the 2025 2026 school year as presented. Second. Any questions regarding the career ladder plan? It's minor changes uh updates uh to dates and times. Uh there has been a little change as far as uh trying to open up some more opportunities for teachers to uh have some more non-academic clubs. So, we just reduced the amount of kids that it takes to uh hold one of those clubs from 15 to 10. And then also allowing um teachers to count up to 10 hours of some committee work that's necessary for us um to get input for our district uh through PTO events, activities, uh building building leadership teams, wellness committee, they can use
035up to 10 hours um to count that towards career ladder 2. Those are been a couple tweaks that we've made, but everything else remains the same from last year. So can you get so provide the context and so how many more hours can I get if I'm a teacher with clubs? What was that again? if I want to do instead of having uh so there was a uh ratio of students to uh staff we had 15 to one so 15 kids to hold a a non-academic club we wanted you to have 15 we lowered that to 10 so that would give them more opportunity for maybe a smaller group we found that sometimes these smaller uh clubs that you know more of a niche uh area for certain students that 15 might have been a
036little bit too many just trying to offer a little flexibility and lower the number that's required for them to be able to hold the club. So if so, let's say you want to have our club and one student signs up for it, we're probably not going to we're not going to count that for for career ladder. If 10 kids show up, now you'll be able to count that for career ladder. And before the 15 15 was the cut off, so we just lowered the number to make it a little more flexible. Any other questions? All right, all in favor? Thank you. Professional development plan for 2526. Move to approve the professional development plan for the 2025 2026 school year as presented. Second.
