013okay so um last time I showed you the front curtain it was here tonight so welcome and GL so glad to bring you look we have rigging I know it's not very much but look it is up there and attached to all of that rigging are the um I think last time I showed you all of the electrical parts that go up in the ceiling for the lights wow everything's up there now wonderful and we have curtains on stage right and stage left I know you're going to ask me I'm sure what's the big yellow Square in the middle that was a flaw on the floor it's being fixed as we speak actually they text me just a few minutes ago and said they are there fixing that right now just putting some more supports
014in there for the for the stage so it'll be done by morning and that's what it looks like so the white part is actually a very back curtain with all of the other layers in there so it is it is very beautiful whenever you get over there Dr Fon do you know is the spring play going to be at it is not not we do not have the ability to have everything hung and everyone trained and for them to practice with the lights so there is still some lights and things to go as well as all of the training because once we have that up we had to if you remember you approved a change order to change a sprinkler oh right and so the sprinkler still has to go back up around the rigging
015and all of those things so still a lot of training Etc will be back that's the company that we were working with they will be back to do all the training and the frl panel still have to go up so they're not in yet so with that we're still waiting on the test and balance report I keep saying by the end of the month I'll keep saying that that's what I keep being told frl panels that is all the wood look panels that are like paneling that goes around the stage they were slated to be shipped by the time we had this last time I just moved that forward um we actually have ship dates of them arriving once they arrive in Elkart Illinois then they will be brought to the company and immediately installed
016that's what I keep being told so I ask that question every week just so you know once that comes in the casew work will come in so we are getting closer and closer and closer it is we are thankful for our community for such a beautiful facility so excited to be using that they are using it in the morning we have a band group coming in from a college and they're going to be presenting in there in the morning that's why I needed that spot fixed by morning so it is exciting well and we are having our end of year um we we are the teachers in there teachers and and whole staff right the whole staff so we are not doing the support staff banquet this year we are bringing everyone together it was
017a desire of our central office advisory committee for everyone to see what awards are given and celebrate everyone at that time so we are excited to do that as well and that will be May 23rd so um last time we talked we talked about a little bit about the fo football turf replacement in the athletic lighting we met with the Architects and Engineers um actually on Tuesday to discuss to discuss the turf and the lighting more or less basically talking about the lighting and what that's going to entail um with the if we can retrofit the poles that are there put new LED lighting in to make it brighter and to put some security lighting up at night because if you've ever looked at our soccer field and our baseball field they are very dark
018so what can we do to retrofit those poles to make sure that we are meeting all of our needs and also we talked a little bit about excess as well so if a ball burns out we can get to it we have a little bit of trouble with that so we were discussing all of those things on Tuesday okay any questions do we have any like cost still for the auditorium that we'll need to finalize or do we have everything hang this I mean we still have some we still have U we still have final payments to make but I think the change orders and all that should be should be done good okay good okay all right thank you thank you thank you CIP update Dr dare okay it's been a little while since
019we kind of looked at the document as a whole um and so if you remember uh we we built this uh coming into this past year um or a little over a year for as part of the M 6 process we've always had a CIP uh for many many many years uh but the the shift in mp 6 was pushing us toward using the document and it becomes a living breathing document so that we're we're not just setting goals and setting it on the shelf right it's it's what's actually driving our decisions and driving our our budgeting processes and those kind of things so um very very pleased with where we are we we kind of took the approach coming into this to take a step back set some foundations do kind of a check
020in of where we were what we had in place what we still needed to get in place to make um to be in preparation to make bigger steps forward so um that's what we're going to talk about a little bit tonight uh just as a reminder we set aside four um call them buckets if you will uh teaching and learning climate culture leadership and support systems so those were those primary areas that we decided to focus in on sorry I can't do it it's in the wrong place okay I feel better now habits habit habits uh and so tonight the will be this will be a fairly High Lev presentation you've heard most of the details on the information we're going to give you tonight and that that's come through uh board presentations and reports
021that you've had access to over the past year or year and a half or so and so this is just kind of high level summary if you will but we'll talk about um we'll review each of our 10 goals within those four buckets and we're going to talk about uh work this accomplished so that's kind of our green lights the things that we're we're moving past um yellow doesn't show up on here very well so I did blue but think of those as our yellow lights those are the things that are in progress the things we aren't completely finished with and then the work remaining and and I want to preface that by saying this was a long a short-term but a long-term plan so many of these things were were originally planned to be
022in 2026 uh in that process so just because something isn't done doesn't mean we failed to do that we just haven't done it yet so just keep that in mind that it's it's just work that we're still having um still to do doesn't necessarily mean that we missed a deadliner we we're not doing what we're supposed to do and then we'll end up uh talking about next steps and what the next few months look like so we'll dive in please feel free to stop me at any point um but we can always go back as well so um our first goal is around those uh that teaching and learning obviously the core of what we do uh and so this was uh establishing a plan to update a line District curriculum and assessments Dr Welch
023leads this work does a fantastic job with this um those processes were reviewed the the uh assessment plans are reviewed every year you just approve that again uh or you're going to approve that again um and so those are the things that that we feel like we're in a really good place with we've got that those systems down those processes so curriculum development quite honestly will never be done will never be finished uh it's an ongoing process and it continues um Dr Welch has done a great job diving in and trying to um tackle some things that um probably needed more refreshing than others uh but uh we do have a system for that and uh but that work continues every year same with assessment adjustments those things will continually happen as we move forward
024the piece that we're excited about moving forward with and a bigger picture is that analysis and interpretation of those results and we've been doing that we want to just do more with that and and trying to figure out those data data dashboards and those things that we've talked about in the plan um and then how do we take that analysis and that information and make adjustments back in our instruction with the kids and again those are things we do we just want to do them better and we we haven't got that far yet so that's our next big step there the next goal was updating our practices uh instructural practices and resources as part of that process so again the process is good assessment plans are good um we've done a lot with uh professional
025involvment and support especially around the Elementary this year tntp um um our instructional coaches that we so graciously let us bring in um we've had um multiple opportunities through go CSD we'll talk about that in more here in a little bit there's there's been a definite push there with reading and literacy and those kind of things um and and that's been kind of our Focus so that's that's all in really good shape that comprehensive literac literacy plan is still being adapted a little bit Dr wels reported to you uh moving forward fairly uh quickly with the elementary side there's now talk of what that looks like in the secondary side and what and we don't know yet so there's still probably some work to be done there those reading success plans obviously are still being
026adjusted but we're in a good place with those so that's the work in progress uh the support instructional strategies those secondary grade levels all the things that come after that so we have plans we have procedures now what so that's those are the next steps in that process sorry got ahead of my notes back up uh goal three was the uh a multi-tiered system of support framework to support our kids across the board and whatever their needs would be um Dr Welch has talked to you multiple times about those Universal screeners and star results and all the things that we're using to try to be predictive of our Student Success um and we've taken steps to identify and Implement those interventions we still have some work to do there and cleaning that up and making
027uh refinements and and uh adding layers to those we talked about that data dashboard and and and trying to get that analytic piece a little more solid and then um again more professional development how do we continue growing our people that's our goal in all of this is to continue to grow our staff okay goal uh teaching learning two is uh learning opportunities for the staff so supporting our growth and development um you'll see how these all kind of interconnect as we Mo move through here but we've done a lot over this last year in surveying getting input um um uh We've made adjustments to our mentoring program there's there's um we feel like we do really well bringing people in and and supporting them and getting them started those onboarding processes we've continued to
028revise and revamp uh even and that's not just for our faculty but also for our staff positions um custodians and all those things there's still still more we want to do there so that's why that's marked in process uh learning opportunities so what what do we need people to know when they come in and how do we continue to grow them as after they're here that's our goal uh and again you can see the red the red line there is getting to everybody um we've done really well with certain groups um we still have work to do with other groups so that's where we're there and being consistent with those things it's um it's fairly simple to talk to our faculty and our staff at the beginning of the year because we have time built
029in to do that but as we bring people on in the middle of the year that same time is not there and so those are the things we're trying to figure out how to adapt and and improve second part of that goal um is developing our our local opportunities so um there's all kinds of opportunities and and it's often good to have our folks go out to seek professional development opportunities and and and meet with their Professionals in other districts and those things but we also have a lot of really talented people in our district and how can we better utilize our people to share their wealth of knowledge um we've we've always done a great job with tech training and and um Nikki and and her team that have led that these last few
030years do a great job there Elevate is what we used to call launch so that's the the the staff L professional development Day that's coming up here next month right yeah and so uh but that was always kind of tech focused instructional Tech focused we've we've broadened that because we think our staff have a lot to share instructional strategy wise and those kind of things they even let me present once in a while um still waiting to see if I was approved or not so I'm waiting for Nikki to let me know but um we're trying to trying to grow those opportunities too mentioned that go CSD that's the I'll get this wrong Dr Welch greater Ozarks cooperating cooperating thank you school districts I always want to say community I know that's not right uh
031so Dr Welch connected us with them it's a group of of um kind of centered in Southwest Missouri but up in the South Central of of cooperating school districts that share resources for professional development and so it it makes it more and they're also bringing in a higher level of of things because we can focus in on it's not just math it's a specific math or a specific grade level or a specific piece of of um curriculum that that they can focus in on so there's a lot of layers to that it's been a great resource and we hope to expand our access with that and of course we mentioned the instructional coaches again uh Dr fton has been working with the committee on faculty and staff recognitions we've done several things but we again
032want to continue cleaning that up making that more more efficient and more um meaningful hopefully uh but we want our staff to be part of that so she's leading that work and there're me they met again what this week last week last week very recently um and so that's continuing and then again our red line there is all so we do a great job in certain aspects we need to expand that to everybody and so how can we get our custodians to share their knowledge with other custodians and our uh administrative assistance to share their knowledge and creating that time for them to collaborate and work our third goal is um high quality opportunities for our success ready students so success ready students is kind of the new catchphrase buzzword whatever you want to say
033not new but it's the it's the hot one right now so what does it mean as our kids leave the world that they're ready to be successful and as they leave us and go out into the world um so we talk about these College and Career ready assessments that's act ASVAB um uh some of the CTE programs have their um uh program specific tests that they do what whatever that looks like to get them ready and and make sure they're ready for that next step and we have a measure on that The Graduate followup what are our kids doing six six months after they leave us is it relevant to what we prepared them for are they being successful as they after they've left uh we talked about that attendance tier how do we we
034we know we have a better chance of educating them if we can get them here and how do we address those needs within the community we've done we've done a lot of work at in that area this past year and we're looking forward to uh seeing what that looks like going forward next year CT expansion is something Dr Chapman always wants to talk about um but it's a good thing and and um it's always on our radar it's something we want to be mindful of and responding to our community needs I have CCR assessments listed here again because those are ever changing and and uh we want to make sure we're adapting to what our kids need and what our um accreditation require fires and then that graduate follow-up piece again we've we've done that
035work we haven't yet quite seen if we've done it fully to the extent we need to do it so we're we're kind of still holding that in that yellow zone to make sure we're we're doing the right things there and then again we're back to that analysis so uh as we've made changes we have to wait and get our data get our opportunities at the end of the year to get that data and make the analysis to make sure we're i i i confident we're moving in the right direction but to make sure we've done enough and and we've gone um as far as we need to go early childhood this one kind of changed a lot um with the announcement of the uh the F County Community Foundation partnership um for the Early Childhood
036Center so um our funding resources full day programming and expansion we've kind of answered those questions at this point uh at least in theory um but you'll see I still have a yellow light on funding resources full day programming and expansion because we still have a lot of details to work out around those pieces um so that that's what this next year we look like and then obviously we have not implemented that program yet and and we need new goals so as we move forward we'll we'll rewrite these sections to implement our new goals and and this section will change drastically um we moved this one we this needle moved very quickly so it's a good thing okay culture and climate um implementing comp uh comprehensive evidence-based social emotional supports um trying to meet the
037the basic needs of kids so that we can teach um again our committee work that Dr Fon has led with our culture and climate surveys the priorities that were established for the buildings our uh bcbas that we've contracted with this year uh our our cycle our school youth Community liazon Ashley does a great job helping build Bridges and resources we we are we are taking the approach on all a lot of these things that we are not necessarily the source of things we are not necessarily the source of of all things for every kid but we know people who are and and can we connect families so they can access those resources from people who are better at those things than we are we're here to educate U but we can connect them to resources
038to get those things in place um continued implementation and Analysis that's ever changing um and we made a lot of changes over this past year so we're looking forward to uh contining to monitor that we're getting great feedback from everyone um and we want to make sure we continue to move that forward and then our our kind of our red line is that comprehensive model um we're still kind of building this as we fly it um trying to get all the pieces to to lay into place and so as that solidifies and we figure out what's working we'll we'll formalize those processes and make um uh bigger impacts and that's our goal engaging parents and other community members um Gina did a great job bringing parent Square in helping us launch that and that continues
039to grow that's been very well received I think from from our community and parents is across the board um again the surveys the sponsorships Communications in general we've tried to look for every opportunity we can to communicate those things um I I do laugh that we do every school every day that we had to close for weather we do have people who still call the the traditional message line to find out um but most of them uh we had one day where we had a little blip with the phone system and the lady that called and she said well I saw it on the news I got the notification from parents square and my kids said they heard on the radio but I just wanted to make sure so people like to be communicated with
040that's what I would say so um that's why you'll see Communications in the yellow area as well we always look for what do we need where are we missing what do we need to push more um and Gina does a great job helping us support those things we're looking again to expand those building events and recognitions how do we um uh keep the community informed of all the great things happening and you know tonight was a great example we got a little piled up with our recognitions because of weather but uh our recognitions that we're doing are such a different level especially for our kids um and that's what we want to take over into our staff as well um we're not recognizing them for coming to school and doing the things they're supposed to
041do we're recognizing them for being amazing and excelling and and taking it to the next level and that's that's exciting uh we talked in our plan about this portrait of series and so we actually have that for students and staff um this one is specifically about um our our students as we talk about what is a portrait of a graduate what's a portrait of a kid uh leaving an elementary school going to the middle school what does that look like what should they know what should they be able to do so that we're consistent and and we have um good expectations and we can partner with the families to help grow kids to that point uh we do plan on looking at our district mission and vision I don't know when those were looked at
042last but it's been a while I'm sure and so we're going to we're going to start some Community work on that and take a look at that try to rewrite um uh see what we want to do there I'm not going to say we rewrite those we may like them as they are but we want to revisit those make sure they're um taking us forward the third goal is um retaining uh attracting retaining high quality faculty and staff we're very blessed to have the community support that we do and we do not take that for granted because it allows us to um bring staff in that there are very high quality and uh but we always want to make sure that our staff are heard and valued so again the committee work survey work evaluation
043processes all those things that we've done I think we've done a good job laying some foundation work there talking about shifting those recognitions doing more with some listening sessions um uh we've done some informal things but trying to do a little more formalized things where people feel a little more comfortable just speaking out and um sharing thoughts and ideas uh and encouraging people to serve on committees nobody wants I shouldn't say nobody a lot of people don't want to do that um but I think the people that do find it to be fairly rewarding and and um exciting because they get to be part of those processes as we're going through uh as we've talked we want to develop our leaders um kind of our grow your own program and we've we've kind of reshift
044that so we started this out as an administrator program but we have some folks who reached out and said you know I don't want to be an administrator but I would like to be better and I would like to be a leader I want to be a leader in the building what does that look like and so we've taken a step back from that and kind of shifted to to have a couple different Pathways there so we can develop people in multiple ways because that will only make us stronger and then again that portrait of an employee what does it mean to be a Ral Public Schools teacher what does it mean to be a Ral Public Schools custodian what does that look like and so that as we're hiring and we're sharing ideas and
045and things people know what that means on the leadership side um our continuous improvement process if you remember that was a shift for mup 6 we went from um comprehensive to continuous so um as we built our building School Improvement plans and the supporting plans that go with that assessment communic ation technology activities all those things we're still tweaking those making sure everything aligns making sure everything connects that's why you'll see that in the green and the blue uh again we've done a great job getting those started but we need to continue evaluating those and modifying those to make sure everything lines up uh we continue to do uh more I think in bringing people to you and Reporting out on what we're doing uh we want to get a deeper dive in those things
046we've talked about that more of that uh analysis part of what's working and what's not and then that data Dash board piece to to be more consistent in our analysis second part of that is sustaining that process so um uh the expectation that we're always getting better and and that's a pretty easy thing because we have great people and they want that as well so it's it's I would tell you it's it's easy conversations to have with our people how do we get better uh and then we include the board in that the governance award that you all take um very near and dear to heart and have done such a great job with we participated in the msba superintendent evaluation and piloted that process um we've talked about some things to tweak there but
047but we we've we've we've got good handles on those I think our admin evaluation process we're working to build into that similar process uh and then those individual leadership plans we challenged everyone to set personal goals as well as professional goals um trying to grow everyone as individuals as well so all of that kind of leads into that comprehensive plan and and pulling all of that together and that's the next steps we we need to take excuse me District initiatives Fidelity and consistency that Fidelity is the next piece so um we have training coming up in the next couple weeks here I think uh early April um initial initial I should I don't know if training is the right word initial information coming to us about next next round of accreditation reviews and Fidelity is
048the word that is being used there so are we doing what we say we're doing and are we doing it to the level that we say we're doing it and if not what are we doing to fix that so trying to build in systems and reporting that that demonstrates the work that we're doing in some ways that's easy and other places that's a little more difficult so we've done a great job trying to establish some common languages some common processes across the board bringing the three elementaries while they're unique and individual we want them to be consistent uh so that the kids going to fourth grade are all prepared at the same level those kind of things uh I think we've taken great steps in that we're continuing to hold collaborative meetings and working through
049those details um and that's not that's not me that's all of us everybody's taken a role in that and I appreciate the team doing that and obviously we we have some steps to take before we get to full alignment there that's that's a that's a timely process it takes a little time to build those things Safety and Security um Regular review reviewed and revised Dr Fon leads this work as well cyber security protocols U bill has done a great job leading the tech team uh we are we are checking all those boxes so um that keeps our insurance in place that protects our student data uh we appreciate those efforts that is a bigger piece than I think anybody realizes um the number of cyber attacks that school districts endure on a daily basis number
050in the thousands and uh we have all the the things in place to prevent those from happening so um we appreciate their efforts uh we do have regular meetings that includes local law enforcement S&T um msba safety folks folks uh those those are continual conversations and and we appreciate everybody's support in those pieces we've talked about the window film that's that's basically done that exterior door access is in process um getting better and better every day we're getting closer and closer you're starting to as you go to the buildings you're starting to feel some of those things um I'm going to tell on myself we were at Mark Twain today and I'm flaming around with my keys and Dr B said just swipe the thing it works like there it does look at that okay
051so we're all getting used to a little different way and trying to figure that out uh but it's good and I think it's going to give us a lot better access and control as we move forward with that uh and as we do those things though that will cause our operations plan and our safety plans to shift a little bit and so those are the things that we'll continue to tweak uh necessary resources to make sure that we're doing what we need to do um we continue to do our salary comparisons we're actually taking the lead on all of those now again Dr Folton that kind of Falls in her office so we're doing all the admin comparisons and the teacher comparisons for the region the other districts just kind of faded out of that
052so we just took that on and we're doing that so we're leading that process for the region um but we do that to make sure that we're being competitive we want to hire and attract the best people in uh we have our short long-term Financial plans I have that in in yellow because I think um it's always changing and and we're continuing to evolve um Kindra has continued to make it a focus to um change the some of those processes and look for those little hidden things that that are uh sitting out there that could be cleaned up and and we appreciate her work in that and then um we've talked about an efficiency initiative U I would tell you we run we run efficient I I can say that with full sincerity and and
053honesty um but there's always things that that maybe I see differently than someone else so talking about ways we can get input from staff members who to help with identifying things that we can do better and and maybe save some cost with um that's just good business that's what we want to do second part of that goal is um our evaluation schedule so we've we've tried to improve those written reports for you kind of trying to make them more consistent between departments we still have some work to do there that strength weakness opportunity and threat analysis is is helpful in that because it at least puts everybody in the same mindset we have some changes we want to make to that evaluation schedule uh probably some additions and deletions and then timing changes as well
054so that we can bring better data uh forward so that will be part of this next few months process and then um making sure that we're utilizing all of those things as we continue re um evaluating and revising the cep that's the whole gist of the process so saying all of that um just kind of big picture I think we've done a really great job again of establishing that Foundation we've got our processes in place we just we just we're ready to take that to the next step and see what see what our data tells us and what we need to continue changing but we're also in that spot based on those program evaluations the presentations that you've had from the different departments the survey results all of our data all the things we'll take
055all that together and over these next few months we're going to work to revise that cep plan so we'll take we'll take out the things that we've done and we'll be looking to add new things in for those next three-year period to continue moving us forward our goal is to bring you back at least a draft by June um that's pretty aggressive but you know it was January yesterday so we'll figure it out um hopefully we won't have any more snow days at least so that'll help uh but um that's the next steps and then we'll we'll take the pieces that we get from the state and the Fidelity um um how they're going to structure that and make sure we build that in as well so that may that may push us to shift
056a little bit too thoughts questions concerns anything like that what do you think about timing on the board self- evaluation I think that can be any time honestly and and um probably would make sense at this point to wait till after the election to and then we can start that process maybe a summer process when things are a little quieter it would probably make sense um I don't know I think we talked about this I don't think anybody's gone through that process before here um it's it's a it's a it's in in simplified terms each of you kind of take a list of criteria and and kind of rate yourself and the board and then we come back together and we kind of talk through those together and and um see if there's pieces that
057come out of that that we all agree we want to do differently or change or move forward in some process so um it's just a it's just a chance again to kind of step back and say where are we and and where do we want to go so I think is there a template that's already out there or yeah msba has a whole process to lead that yeah it's it's it's pretty defined and it's it's pretty slick yeah so no cost uh there's no cost to the district to do that so it's just uh is there a cost if someone com or they actually I think they would come down and at least kick us off um if not in person virtually um and just kind of talk us through it all but I as
058far as I know there's no cost for that at all okay so when you're saying program evaluations and Analysis is that your testing is that State Testing those program analysis things or those things that you get at the end those written reports um so the nursing report counselor's report that some of those are in person some of them are written but those programs or that analysis is what we want to beef up Mark we want to make those a little more um consistent and a little more um impactful to the cep so if they're saying there's a need then we we want to look at that and see if that's a need we need to build into the cup and and and try to move those things in that direction so that they're more more
059meaningful sure no that's good thank you for asking no action required of you we're not amending anything tonight we just wanted to give you kind of a touch point and um we're supposed to report to you quarterly uh you'll notice in the in the board agenda we we've been tagging cep items to everything and so that's part of that reporting but it's been a while since we talked about the document as a whole so we just wanted to take a minute and step back and do that so that's good okay are there some surveys getting ready like is our climate and culture getting ready to yes yes yes it'll kick off um probably within the next week or so we're still waiting on qual Trix we have a preview of it but waiting on that
060final little bit to come in and then we will roll it out we're going to keep the window open through the beginning of May so we can get a better participation so we'll we'll share those with you at the next meeting yeah at the next meeting we should have it it should be live so we should be able to be able to show you what it is and what it looks like but we have one built for K3 and the longest time on there that anyone will have to take is 10 minutes or so oh great good all right awesome thank you thank you Dr D our all right resoning Dr fton so this presentation will look very similar so for those of so those watching on YouTube will be able to see the presentation
061again um this time we're coming back with action with this so just as a reminder these are our current school zones they look very familiar one are very colorful but one is blue and one is purple so Truman purple Wyman will be blue and Mark Twain will be red for this so why do we need to reone just as a reminder that McBride Holmes has purchased some real estate in in town bringing in 587 homes which are currently all in the Mark Twain Zone and we are filled to the brim there and no room for growth although I will remind everyone that there is room for growth for these homes and these people coming in at our other schools so we will be fine there it's the elementaries that are that are that will be
062the problem why is this even possible that we're asking to rezone as Dr Dar just mentioned and as we all know the Phelps County Community Foundation and the Early Childhood Center will allow us to move seven classrooms out of Wyman into this into the center in 2026 August of 2026 which will then make room for expansion at Wyman opening up seven classrooms so we are proposing an attendance boundary change from Mark Twain to Wyman we are looking at the area of Osage Drive and all properties accessed via the O via oage Drive extending South to the rless city limits which is at the bottom of that picture how does that impact us as a reminder it was impacting us with two kindergarten students one first grade student that are current that's currently at Mark Twain
063and four students that were in grade three but next year they're moving to the middle school so essentially three students we are allowing those students students to stay in the Mark Twain district and transporting them to current Mar to Mark Twain but we don't know like prek kids we do not know pre- kids at all so if a younger sibling of a current kindergartener would we consider then grandfathering them at Mark Twain since big brother went to Mark Twain or yeah that that'll pick up in our normal transfer process yes but yeah we would we would obviously work with the families okay we just copied that covered all of that all of those homes in that area in every piece of property received a letter from me as well so we mailed out over aund
064and some letters the day after the board meeting last time and I will tell you that there was absolutely zero feedback from anyone so we waited for phone calls and put out the Google form there was Zero responses even up to including tonight before I came in and so that's what what I have there so tonight I need action from you to rezone oage drive in all properties accessed via oage Drive extending South to the r rless City Limits and East to Highway 72 from Mark TW to the Wyman School attendance Zone please I make a motion to rezone oage drive and all properties access via oage Drive extending South to the r City Limits and east of Highway 72 to the Wyman School attendance zone I'll second all those in favor I those opposed
065passes thank you thank you next Dr Welch the assessment plan yeah so as Dr D mentioned um our assessment plan is a required plan as part of our larger CIP and so annually we bring to you a revised version of that document along with a calendar of proposed dates for next year's assessments um and kind of outline those windows of what needs to take place there are a few revisions to the plan um proposed for this upcoming school year so I'm going to talk through those this evening um just as a reminder and for those may be watching at home our district assessment plan essentially outlines all of the different assessments that we would administer um in the school district and the purpose for those assessments some of those things are required of us um
066either by federal government or our state government and then other things we're identifying locally to say um we need to make sure that we have a balanced Assessment program and so we don't want to duplicate efforts of things that we're required to do um so we look for opportunities to fill in um and create that kind of nice balanced assessment system um ultimately making sure that teachers have all the information that they need to help Drive their instruction in their classrooms from a national perspective um we do participate in nape it does seem like that every year we get selected to be a part of that process um and so we always cooperate uh the three years that I've been in this role it's been a different assessment a different building a different grade level
067uh each year so we just kind of wait and see what we'll be selected for and then follow their directions and participate we don't receive feedback specific on how our students performed on those assessments but it does go um it's information that they gather data that they process and then gets published Nationwide so you often hear a lot in the news about how students are performing Across the Nation uh on assessments and so that's where this data is coming from this year in particular we were selected to administer assessments at three of our buildings which was a lot uh and so I outlined for you where we were selected to participate in I will say we have made it through middle school and Junior High and then we were notified notified in late February um
068that the federal government has cut funding for the 17-year-old assessment and so we will not be participating in that one this year after all state assessments you guys are familiar with most of these we talk about the data that we receive from these at Great length in the fall when we received that um obviously map is kind of that big umbrella uh the Missouri assessment performance and so we've got uh the grade level assessments that occur grades 3 through eight as well of end of end of course assessments that occur at the high school those are required for graduation uh and then for students who meet the criteria um that have an IAP and may have cognitive cognitive deficits that keep them from taking that grade level assessment they participate in the map alternative and
069then for all of our English language Learners they participate in required State Testing as well we actually just wrapped that up and boxed everything up and inventoried and send it back to the state today um and then the last one that's there is that Kinder kindergarten observation form the K this was a newer assessment that was required um we're in our third year of administering that uh we do receive points um on our APR so when we talk about success ready measures that's one of those for the elementaries so you may recognize that from our APR discussions one of the things that is interesting about that particular assessment it's not necessarily looking at achievement data it's really looking at Readiness for kindergarten and so it does give us some good information um for our kiddos
070that are entering kindergarten it's administered in that first six weeks of being in seat um and really just looks at a a variety of different areas one of the things that we have noticed uh over the course of the three years uh are lower scores in that social emotional area and I think that speaks to some of the things that we've talked about in other places um but our prek teachers um Mrs Brown she talks with our prek teachers around that data and looks at what are some places that we have opportunities to improve and so they have actually implemented a new curriculum step two curriculum that focuses on social emotional skills and building that in students so some good information for us uh and again I think it helps inform some decision- making at
071the state level all right local and supplemental assessments this is where we're going to see some revisions in our assessment plan for next year I'm not going to speak to each of those but we'll talk a little bit about the two that are in bold um so the coat I talked to you last meeting about some proposed changes with gifted and so we have updated in our plan that next year we would need to administer that coap screener to all first graders and second graders to help us with the identification process and then accuplacer is actually a new assessment that we're adding um Dr dare mentioned that we have some CIP goals around College and Career Readiness assessments and so when we are looking at the results that we receive associated with our APR there
072are several different options that we have available that essentially give us points in that area uh but for us it's really more than just giving an assessment and checking the Box we want to make sure that we're giving assessments that give our students good information and help them make decisions about what they're doing um postsecondary and so we have historically always given uh the asbab to our sophomores um and that's not necessarily a test that every student really needs to take but we've done that because we need to have each student taking some some sort of assessment um we also offer in 11th grade for all students to take the ACT um if they're not College Bound that might not necessarily be an appropriate assessment for them to take and so the accuplacer is just
073another assessment that we can give students um and so the high school has been working very hard to think through what makes sense we don't want to just give an assessment to say we've done it and to check a box but what are the assessments that are available to us which ones make sense and really doing a much better job about thinking about all high school students what is the right assessment for them to take how does that information help inform their choices moving forward so making some changes there and I should say on the accuplacer we're doing that in conjunction with um ECC they actually have the they're the accrediting um organization that can administer that assessment and so it's a partnership with them there is a very minimal cost to us which we
074will cover for students if they take that assess I think it's $15 per kiddo um but they will come in and they will administer that Proctor the assessment um for our students right here on campus um I included our calendar just upcoming to let you see kind of what we have for the remaining uh the remainder of this year obviously these are not all of the assessments that we give but they are our state um and some of those local assessments that are required there's a lot that happens in the final couple of months of school um so very busy it requires a lot of effort from our counselors administrators um and key staff just across the district uh everyone has to go through proper training and protocols that have to be covered and make
075sure that we're doing administering those assessments with Fidelity so just a lot that happens I don't think I realized until I step into this position that there is some sort of large scale assessment occurring all the time so so it's important um work and it's constantly evolving so I'm just curious yeah on end of course testing is you know can you go back when yeah April 28th like when you're doing end of course so are they through the whole all of the content by that time I mean it seems like there's what I was comparing it to was star math said May 22 or Star what was your 22nd I don't know why they wouldn't put end ofourse testing into May somewhere where they would have a couple more weeks of instruction yeah so we
076are given a window by the state okay and then from the state's perspective we can establish our own building window but it has to fall within that time frame in the past that state window has actually been past our last day of school and so we could we could run our window all the way up to the end of school they made that change that year um in order to get all of the assessment data back to desie because it takes time for them to clean that up process it and then apply all that information to our APR and if you remember December it took a long time it it takes on long time to work through all of that for all that data across the state seniors are in a class that requires IND
077course testing they're not there all the way till May 22nd yeah that's a new thing this year in an effort to get our APR back to us quicker so yeah we have adjusted accordingly and we will get it done yeah teachers would always take more time right we're they're never going to feel like they've taught everything that they would love to have taught when those assessments roll around but it is part of what we do and so we do our best great yeah hey any questions for the changes that are proposed for the plan I did include the calendar of proposed dates for next year pending any changes some of those windows haven't been announced so it's kind of a guess on my part as to when we'll establish our windows but we'll adjust them
078accordingly and you need action on this tonight we do we have to have our plan and our calendar approved and posted on our website I'll make a motion to accept the assessment plan and calendar as presented I'll second okay thank you those in favor signify by saying I I opposed motion passes next we have Staffing request I just get to come up and talk to you a lot tonight great so at the last meeting I talked to you a little bit and just want to review again how we identify Personnel needs so as we talked we talk with building administrators weie enrollment numbers by each School cohort IEP needs um overall District needs by building and then the outcome which could come into movement of positions Etc a lot of those things are not public
079as far as you know we do a lot of those things behind the scenes as far as in close session I mean not behind them but in close session but we do take in into account everything that needs to be done so future Personnel considerations I ended with the slide last time then we look at enrollment numbers IEP needs and then student schedule requests well student schedule requests are coming in so that will drive a lot of what we're doing some of what we're doing tonight so due to enrollment numbers and student IEP needs we are in need of a special education teacher at ra high school with an impact to the budget of approximately $69,950 that is including salary and benefits question you want us to do these one at a time or can
080we do them all we'll do them all at the end so just going to go over one with the addition of a special education teacher we will also need a special education perah to go in that room as well um so again to help our students with need with the IEP needs estimated salary benefits of $ 32,8 188 the third one is a technical technical careers teacher at RTI so when um Dr Chapman was here last month he talked to you about some future expansions that he had asked for one of of them was a tech to add a technical career shop which is somewhat take our Junior High shop but put it at the high school level at RTI to help meet the needs of students an hour at a time if I'm right
081M if I'm right Dr Chapman an hour at a time and to help a lot with a um with a class for kids with special needs as well to teach them some of those basic skills we are pleased to announce that we have an enrollment of almost 30 in that technical career shop one class and the adapt and the adapted class of about 50 at this current time and they are still working through those numbers so with that tonight I am coming to you to ask that we add 57th of a teacher now how do we get there so we had to talk this over so just bear with me we went through it like four or five times so we have some classes right now where we pay teachers a seventh period so they
082teach all seven hours without a plan time so with the hiring of a of this teacher we could take away basically two and it's going be three teachers but two hours so there's two semester classes and one full year class uh that is taught by teachers that teach 7th hours so that is your two and then we're asking for an additional 57s questions about that with that it also could impact the junior high so if we keep that in mind um Mr sford comes over and teaches as well so that may take a load off of them freeing them up to actually take another elective for their students over there which would help them and then here's the here's the thing it also would allow us to have some APR bonus points for CTE expansion
083if we did this program so the estimated salary and benefits you're going to see is lower than us asking for a teacher but again it's 57 so $ 41,9 37 salary and benefits questions about that oh good okay they we had to talk that over I yeah I might have to see that yep I have it all written out here in multiple notes so yeah um I can't brag on our transportation department enough so for the first time in many many years we are fully staffed over there and they have added on all the crossing guards this year with that that puts us at over 90 employees there right now so the demand on our directors is very great and they are still doing a lot of the paperwork so we several couple years ago
084you gave them a half time secretary which was 9 months 4 hours a day well now let's include of course they also do summer school and that demand that is there it is becoming to where we need somebody there to help along with the new routing software that we're doing to take some of the paperwork off of them so they can be out riding school buses and doing the things that they need to be doing we would like to add a half of a person um so add in a full-time secretary there at 10 months the estimate salary and benefit addition would be another $1 4,993 questions so would the halftime person become a full-time man it would would become a full-time and work for 10 months which allows through summer school and also helps
085with a lot of the routing that they're going to try and do before school starts okay and the last position I'm going to ask for is a system administrator for our technology department so as we rely on technology and it deepens and our Network infrastructure grows increasingly complex the need for specialized oversight has never been more critical and the system administrator would provide the Strategic expertise required to ensure our digital environment stays more secure efficient and future ready and so we are currently managing but we are constantly in reactive mode and so this position would allow us to focus on a proactive approach of M and optimization of of our workstation servers and related systems so this role would help significantly reduce some system downtimes which they really do very well at disruptions and faster
086turnaround on day-to-day maintenance and issues but also allow them to address things before they absolutely have to come up or TH or those types of things last month or last couple weeks ago we talked about the retirement of Tom mccardy so they are asking for this position but we're not looking to in increase the number of employees at this time so this becomes even more complicated so we would change Tom's position into a lead tech now correct me if I'm wrong here this was this was another one change it to a lead tech of a position which would then come with a little bump there but then we would then have this position instead Tom was a an assistant network administrator type position he was mostly out in the field and this would allow someone
087to be there to take care of all of our systems which is the monitoring proactive monitoring maintenance and optimization of all of our workstation servers and related systems I've put a job description in there for you that we created um we would lit and this person would also back up the network administrator there is enough work for both people at the same time right now they work hard and we you know and they're they're gaining some comp time in doing those things so we would like to add a system administrator with an estimated salary and benefits I put plus and minus because it could go either way depending upon who we get with experience if you approve this position of about $20,000 did that change the number of techs then who are able to be
088out in the district it would not so last year you approved a tech to be at the high school full-time we would be able to we have a there is a system that we could put in place so they could still receive help with all of the technology that is there by purchasing I think they call it a locker system so I have a problem with my computer they can put it in one Locker they get another one out of another one and then our text would come over pick them up and take them back but it will allow that person then to take on another building so yes another person but no because we will work with what we have can you walk me through the salary again H so this person would only
089make the 20,000 no they would make just that's a budget impact so that so no the salary would be the network administrator but the difference between what the network administrator gets and what and what Mr mccardy currently gets if we estimated at about a because there's several do and help me out Kendra so there's several basically we're basically taking a tech and and making them putting them into an administrative so it's about a $20,000 difference this is just the difference in what the budget would be all the when all the pieces are done that's what we're doing okay so we're just that was a long discussion that we had about this yesterday person it's not a new it's it's a change of position it's a change of positions thank you m the 5 SS won't
090be that easy but correct it will not because the other three of us went around around about that too and about 3 o' she goes are you ready I think so I think I've got it down thanks to thanks to Dr wel she helped us through all that are you done or I another question ask another question okay the transportation person is that person that's the 4our day is that person willing to do the full time then we don't have a 4-Hour person right now we have an opening there that's why we're kind of holding to see if you would approve this and then we could actually hire an eight hour person and look for that person to come in as8 hours of candidates for the full we would hiring a a part-time position there
091is just difficult so we were kind of holding on that because we had especially because we needed that part-time person mid like noon to 4 or or 1 to 5 whatever that time and that's very difficult very difficult and the current person that was filling that role moved up to the 12-month position of course so we're we've been holding on that gotcha all right any other questions or discussion any other questions need a motion to approve the one two three four four positions in the increase I'll make a motion to approve the four positions is that all you need five positions because one is the chain with yes with the change as yes I'll second all those in favor signify by I I those opposed it passes thank you Dr fton all right comments um
092I was hoping Maria would be here but I know she's very busy so I I'm going to run through several things here but um just a reminder for everyone spring breaks coming up 21st through 28th um we have um I'll share this with the board uh when I can make my computer do what I ask it to do uh but the Department of Education Department of Elementary and secondary education Missouri Department of Ed um has a newsletter this is the Office of Childhood that puts this newsletter out it's their kind of their e childhood connections is what they call that but we were featured this month in February I should say uh they have a a little in a newsletter called Spotlight on success and it says Spotlight on success aims to share stories from
