001Welcome to the June 2nd board meeting. I have a time of 6:04. So, call the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m. And we'll begin as always with the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for [Music] all. Next order of business is public comment. There are some members of the public, I believe. Would any of them like to comment? No. All right. Well, we will leave public comment open for at least 30 minutes. If you want to say anything, just approach the microphone if you feel the need. Thank you. All right. Next item, approval of minutes from our last meeting. So, we have uh Dan and I are the only
002people here present who were here at the last meeting. So, I don't It was a typo, though. I've got notes. I've got comments. I figured you'd have it, but um so I can email those to you, Chris, but if we want to go over them in public, which we probably should. Yeah, we just got to wait till Kate gets here and take a vote on them. Y um I think that makes sense. That's fine. So, in that case, we'll shift to the central office report. Sure. Well, you want to start up? my mic anticipated that coming. Yeah. Um Okay. So, in your board pack is a current year financial. Um we we just mainly at this point in time have encumbrance adjustments. This is where we start to release a lot of incumbrances. So, you'll
003see there's a big uh decrease in the utility incumbrance as we near the end of the year. Um and there's a few other ups and downs. Did anyone have any questions? Okay. And then I was just giving Dan an update. Um I did call the IRS again um to get a status of the tax return and they had sent me the instructions on how to find the status of your registration number. And I explained, "No, no, no. I already have that. I need the actual status of the return and I have not received an answer on that yet. Trying again." Um there is no phone number to call. It says it is not supported. So, every day I try a different avenue. So, I'm working on it. Can you put a a CAFTA in your
004email to prove that the person respond that whatever is responding is not a robot? I don't know. I'm not I don't know how to do that. Just put a little box and say click not a robot. Check. You're not a robot. Yeah. So, we did send the tax government efficiency though. Yeah. So, I did send those the the actual physical returns hard copy mail um a few months ago and I I I keep forgetting the date, but I'm just checking in on that and I have not been successful on finding out that, but I I continue to try. Um and then just u thank you for signing the manifest and we will need you guys to come in probably at the very end of July, beginning of August just to sign the remaining because we
005will be paying those last bills. Uh since it is only June 2nd, we have to pay the rest of the bills for the month of June. And we'll look for your signature before um our auditors come to to test the financial statements. So, I'll send out an email when that's all ready for you guys to come in. I'm looking at the [Music] projected balanceed ending balance. Mhm. Um could you just give me like a a quick step by step of like what will happen between now and end of the fiscal year? Like would you send out another one of these reports to let us know like where we landed or how does that typically go? So um your unassigned fund balance is a combination of two things. It's your expenses less than plan and revenue
006more than plan. So in the ne next to the blue box those are your expenses less than plan. Next to the green box is your revenues more than plan. Um, and then in the upper right hand corner, it kind of does that calculation for you. Um, so at this point in time, we are reporting out the 205,1009 projection to offset the tax rate. And then what we're going to do is we're going to get the rest of the bills throughout the summer. Um, some vendors, I don't know why, don't want to be paid. So we have to hunt invoices down. And so it does take some time. So throughout the month of June and July, we're going to be paying all those invoices for effective fiscal year 25, which is the current fiscal year. Um,
007and then we complete what's called the DOE 25 and the MS25. The DOE goes exactly to it sounds like the DOE, and the MS goes to the Department of Revenue. And when we complete those, we'll be looking for your signature. So that's going to be about the same time as I say ask you to come in and sign the manifest. I'm also going to ask you to sign the MS-25 and the DOE25. And on that report, we'll have the official amount that will be given back in the tax rate. And so then what they the Department of Revenue does is they say, "Okay, we now know how much you're ending fiscal year 25 with, which is your 2425 school year. We now know how much you need to support in the budget from your spring
008vote. and we now know how much your revenues are going to be based off of the very small amount of revenues that we have. And they take that and zip it all together to come up with your tax rate at the beginning of November. Got it. So that's how it kind of all fits together. Did anyone have any questions on that process? Sorry if that was super redundant for others. No, that's all right. No, good question. No, I think that's always helpful because I would never be able to explain it that well. Yeah. And and it's not like you get a check back or the town doesn't get a check back. It's just you have to raise that much less. Yep. And so although we won't have a meeting in June or July, we'll see
009the official amount when we are asked to come and sign something in the front office or Yep. Yeah. And for the most part, I mean, we believe we've have most things encumbered. So I work with Ron and team to identify things, but there's always I mean students are unpredictable. um utilities and things can break but for the most part we try to encumber what we know. So the related question I guess is you know we are projected of 205 109 and that's a a higher return than last year and I don't know if we have a board of I can't really set a target for this kind of thing but yep are there things that might need investment or need spending that we would consider using any portion of this for? Um, I think that's
010a great idea, but just be mindful that you can't spend the full 205. It would be 149 because you can only expend up to your appropriation limit. So, the other is unanticipated. I shouldn't say un revenue higher than plan. Oh, yeah. I completely understand. I just ask. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. The board and the administration. Yeah, we bought the We brought this library furniture one year. Yeah. Um because it you know it all it all whether we spend it this year or next year it all has a effect of decreasing future right appropriations. Correct. And then we have really just maybe be something on the maintenance list. Yeah. I mean you guys have done a really good job of staying on budget and actually being above budget that we've been able to get things on
011our maintenance list done sooner. That's why we didn't bring anything to you is that you over the last three years, you've really done a nice job of following that and doing getting a maintenance plan. So that's why we didn't bring anything to you ahead of that. And knowing where people are at with taxes this year, we felt that we wouldn't bring you anything. We haven't done it with a lot of our districts to be able to give that back as a as a kind of a relief. So that's why we didn't bring anything in May. But if there was that that would be the big thing is if there was something facilities wise. And the only other thing is Kate, just in front of you, there's uh the schoolboard questionnaire. The one you're not Yes.
012If you just want to put your name and a very very brief description of yourself on there. Here's a pen. And I had another question on the monthly report on the finances. So it looks like on page one of the monthly report on the salaries of substitutes line. So it looks like we're if I'm reading this correctly when there's it's a a ne a parenthetical budget balance it means we're over budget by yes 78% on the substitute salaries line. So, I mean, I probably could have looked this up by going back through my emails and so forth. Have we increased the budget for this for next year or I'd have to take a peek, but also if you see um sometimes there's long-term subs there as well that would not be needed next year. Uh,
013all right. And we also extended one leave for a longer duration than we had actually for. Okay. So, it's a combination of daily and longer term subs. Okay, that makes that makes sense. I wasn't thinking the longer term sub Mhm. piece. Sure. I could squeeze this into like the budget committee update, but if you want to or need to scoot sooner than that, I can just ask it now. Um, go for it. There's a specific So, this is what Lety shared for the town of Brentwood. They're interested in um a report that shows health insurance. Um, so this year, what was budgeted uh for health insurance and then um what I think this is, let me just say the why behind this. I think this is because of potential legislation around like health trusts and
014all of that. Um and so they're just trying to understand for the local school district um like what the makeup is. Sure. So all the health insurance um those items that you're looking it's all going to be in the 2900. So if you look in your account code it should be 11 dot it's going to be on the last page 2900 that is where you see the health dental life and disability which you have on your screen there and you'll see in this report it has what's budgeted the year to date and what's encumbered. Um, you will have to keep in mind some districts their health insurance goes uh July some are some are August to July and some are like some are different months. Probably 71 to 6:30 or 91 to 31 are probably
015the the two Yeah. the policy or plan years. Yeah. And I'd have to look back to see which one Brentwood is, but either way. So, Yep. Right. Right there. Yep. So everything in the 2900 is going to be related to your benefits. Okay. Is that what you were looking for? Okay. And an update on that bill. I don't know if you're following it, Chris, but Senate Bill 297. The House committee that was debating that had three maybe four subcommittee hearings on it and they've amended it to remove the requirement that individual municipalities or individual bargaining units create their own reserve funds and they've basically created a an authority within the insurance department to call for the creation of those if necessary. But basically, it takes uh poolled risk programs like health trust out of the
016Secretary of State's office where it probably never should have been in the first place, puts it under sort of light regulation by the insurance department. Um it's a a model actually drafted by health trusts in house council. So the House has sort of created a version which could really dodge this bullet, but it conflicts with the Senate version that had already passed the Senate. So, we'll see what compromise comes with that. But a good update on that bill recently. It's refreshing to know that we're having good. Yeah. Especially out of the house actually. Did you have any other questions from the budget committee? No. Okay. Thanks. Uh we'll just stick with central office. We're we we're waiting for you to do the minutes because so few people were here from last week's meeting. Make sure.
017No, no, no. That's you. Appreciate you. Um minutes are my favorite part. Oh, good. You know, they're mine as well. So, um All right. So, we have a Anything else from you, Molly? Oh, no. I'm good. All right. So, next is solar power. Yep. So, I got Kate access. So Kate now has access so she can get reports. But I just wanted to print out and I printed out so you can see uh the daily production and now we're starting to get some sun. So hopefully it'll go up with all the rain we've been getting. But you have we can print you out a monthly um production and then annual. So I know you wanted to see production. I don't know how you want to see it going forward but we can print out all
018three of these for each meeting or at least the month by month if that's helpful. Um but you can see um on the annual one you can see the lines that are up top. That's your projected of where it should be. Okay. based on what you know if it's normal weather of where it should hit. So you can see if it's below that that that slash line that means we've just got a ton of rain which was what we've been underneath but you can see the kilowatt hours per per uh day and how much is being projected. So like today the most that was projected was at 1:30 this afternoon there was um 2.39 kilowatt um hours were being produced by the solar panels. And then if you look at it monthly, you can see
019um you know which day of the month it has the highest production and that's megawatt hours. And just for people at home, and this is me just doing some research, one megawatt hour equals,000 kilowatt hours of production. So and we're yielding um over the the course so far, we've about um again it's small, I apologize, 92.46 megawatt hours. Uh and that again is when it started in March. So you can start to see the production. I'd love to see this comparison next year after we've had a full year of what we're getting and now we know as Molly said we've been able to release some things because of the solar power reducing some of the energy footprint we have is the line on the monthly just an average on the monthly the line would be
020the average of probably where they and do they track against our usage or like do how do we know how much we need to produce use to meet our energy usage. That makes sense. Well, it wasn't predicted to cover it all, right? Well, it was predicted to cover it all. I have to go back and look at that. It wasn't going to make more than which we would probably need more time for that. Yeah, these summer months you should be making more because we don't have anybody in here and so yeah, that's when you'll start to see it. So in about 2 weeks we at least start turning off lights so we don't have a lot of people in here. Mhm. So our July and August hour or months we should start generating money generating
021energy that wouldn't reserves that we or that we sell. My belief was always it would not cover usage during the school year but during July and August we would sell power back to the grid and be able to apply that to the school year. The school year. Do we have the the um somewhere? I'm sure we do, but the like how much we're we're using per month, how much we're of uh energy we're using? Yes, we do. Yeah, it would be interesting to see that because I did play around with this website a little bit, but I didn't know that data. So, you know, it's hard to know, but it's going to, you know, but I think be bright and sunny all summer and amazing. We got so much sol. I heard it's not going
022to rain on one Saturday the whole summer. So we we can provide that like um energy per month uh contrasted to production that we have. So we can put that in you'll starting for September. I think that would be great. Okay. Yeah. I like this though with the bar of what the goal too. Y [Applause] and I can add all the board members if you want it, but where Kate was kind of, you know, running the solar, so if you wanted or if you want to leave it with Kate, so just let me know. Um, they've been really responsive. They can add anybody else to that to that grid. Any other questions? Okay, that's all I had for that. I think that's great. And thank you for getting the usage to compare it to. I
023think that'll be pretty useful going forward. Um, so now we need a a motion to grant uh the superintendent permission to hire certified staff over the summer. That'd be greatly appreciated. We're not going to have to because we're going to have everyone hired before then, but just in case we do have a certified staff member that we have to fill a spot be really great so we don't have to call you all together. We'll follow the same process that we always do. Ron, we'll we'll interview with the team. We'll do background checks. Then they come to the central office and we do uh second round of background checks in vet before we'd make a recommendation. I'll make a motion to approve the superintendent hiring. Second. All in favor? All right. Motion carries. Thank you very
024much. You in your board pack, I produced a schedule for next year. If you're comfortable with that, I kept the uh first Monday of the month unless there was a holiday there. as we have. So again, you'll lead off the SAU board meetings as you have frequently for the at least the last seven years I've been here. I liked it. I had six left. We're number one. I looks good to me. Anyone else have any issues? All right. I'll make a motion to accept the proposed 20 2025 2026 meeting schedule. All right. So, the two people who won't be here for the second half of it make the motions. All those in favor? I carries. All right. Um 2025 2026 staffing. Yeah, it's a continue conversation for non-public. Okay. That's what I expected. All right.
025Um, so we'll circle back to uh the minutes. And Allison, I believe you had a a purple. Well, on page two, it says it's like right at the very top. It says unresolved uh fund balance. I believe the unassigned fund balance. That also appears on page uh six, section 6.6. Um, does anybody else have any proposed changes? I was present and my name's not on the top of the sheet. I didn't catch that. So, that's a good one. That was not on my comments. [Laughter] Um, so again, Chris, I will I can email these to you, but uh section 4.1 on page one. Um, we have a second sentence. um reported that the solar rebate was applied for with documents provided by Barington Power and a application should be an application. Um then the first
026paragraph of page two, um Chair Duffy noted that Lady Bard was curious. Uh I didn't note that. I believe Dan did because that was a conversation that probably happened at Budcom. Does that make sense to you? Mhm. Uh yes. Um so what's the revision you're just changing? Mr. Heert noted that Ladybar was curious about the UN Oh, okay. unassigned fund balance. Okay. We're blaming you for anything. Well, no, it's you. It came up from BudCom, I think, and that's why um and then uh page four, a last paragraph before section six. Um the third sentence eh says seniors will be coming back in their cap and gown. Think caps and gown should be plural. Um and then the page we haven't done this in a while but no you can come back and read our
027minutes after you leave just like for grammar. So, um, well, it's I mean, we're just giving you a hard time. We expect it and appreciate it. I spent like a third of my workday today writing minutes. Um, top of page five, this is the approval of the policies. So, we just have the list of the policies that were approved. Um, and then the motion and Dr. Bonafiti's motion to amend. And below that we have the MO list of uh policies to withdraw and it says to withdraw. So I think we should have um to approve above that first list of mo of policies. Okay. Just to be clear. Got it. Do we have the best minutes? Do you have the what? The best minutes. They're they're pretty good. I think we make it a board
028goal so that when Brian's not here, we have to do it. Um, we're skimming the minutes, you have to read it. Yeah. And then I think we already talked about section 6.6, the unassigned fund balance. Yep. Um, and then I think section 6.5 above that. Um, that first sentence, Mr. Heert noted that he received an email from Mayor Summerssworth concerning a letter he would like signed protection the community. I think it should be protecting community. Okay. And that's all I had. Got them. All right. So, from the three of us, is there a motion to accept the minutes as amended? Make motion to accept the minutes as amended. Public minutes as amended. Second. I uh All in favor? I. All right. And did anybody have any issues with the non-public minutes? No. I'll make a
029motion to accept the non-public minutes from the May meeting. Second. All in favor? Motion carries. All right. Um, principal's report. Yeah, thank you. There's um there's two items just quick on staff growth. Just a reminder to everybody about um every year uh all the professional staff are in threeear cycles to reertify and part of that process is uh keeping your own portfolio. There's an online platform that we have for that. At the end of the previous cycle u superintendent uh Andrriski meets with our staff that are up for reertification. Um as far as growth, there are individual professional development opportunities they go through. We all work together in our u professional learning communities to chat about students um embedded um professional development opportunities. As another part of it is getting feedback not just from administration
030but from a variety of people like co-orker, a team, presenting to your team. um feedback from students or families. So there's a variety for that staff growth and development and it's uh it starts by setting goals and we have conversations about what that looks like whether it's a knowledge goal, a mindset goal or a skill goal. So, um, as far as st staff growth, um, just really proud of the work that they do, um, when I have the opportunity to provide some feedback and it's, uh, it's really a combination of seeing what kind of learning and seeing what students are doing. So, it's a lot of great stuff going on. Um, I'd like to pass out, um, some data from our, um, spring assessments. [Applause] Chris after we take a peek at this. I have
031some questions for the board about uh the process I used this year and I tried to be consistent the three times that we're kind of reviewing this. And if we want more information when uh I come to the board meeting to kind of go over these screenings, please let me know because we can we can get a little bit more detail in talking about the data as well. So um again a reminder these screenings are really in place to help us make great decisions for students. Uh we don't we're not doing the screening except for three times a year. So there's a lot of uh inclass data being collected and conversations about how students are growing and what decisions we want to make about instruction based on this. So on the first uh the first
032sections cut into math and then reading information. Um we made a decision as a team that our kindergarteners are not going to be using the I Ready screener as a diagnostic. has been inconsistent for them to understand what's being asked. Uh we did it in the wintertime and with not real accurate results and some struggles with our five and six-year-olds. So um we have other measures that our kindergarten teachers use. One of them is ESGI. It's done one-on-one with the teacher actually asking questions. So that is why So is this fall and winter? Is that the the fall? Yeah, the I don't know that we took it in the fall and then we tried it in the winter time. So, um and again, it's more how this the kindergarteners were reacting and what we see
033visible with them taking it on their own. Um, so I won't get into the nitty-gritty of each page and each graphic, but can I Sorry. I just don't just want to like Can you give me the the um your circle here? It doesn't make intuitive sense to me. Is this oldest one, two, three? Is that the way it is? So, there's fall and it says most recent, but that was actually the the graphic I just left in from the winter time. on the bottom that stay faded. Okay. Winter, fall, spring. Got it. Yeah. So, I tried to make the most recent one. It's the bigger one at the bottom. Okay. Yep. So, um we're just showing the tiers. Green would be considered on or above grade level, proficient or above. The yellow is uh within
034one year's reach of proficient and red is two or more years below proficient. Um so we're really really proud of the work that's been going on. Um first page is grade one. Then we have two and three then four and five for math. for three, four, and five. Does this align with the SAS results? We're still looking at SAS readings for this year or years past just like for this year. Yeah, I think because it's a huge improvement. Like to only have red in one grade and it's only seven. Like that's awesome. No, no, we're really really pleased with that and uh we're really pleased with what we're seeing preliminary with this year's SAS testing. Um we and I'm really pleased with the I Ready data that we're seeing as well. So um I I
035think it it's pretty consistent. It's very apparent. Uh fifth grade math concepts are really really hard. So, we want to do a combination of, you know, continuing to look at, uh, not only obviously this group of students that are moving on to middle school or wherever they're going. Uh, but also kind of look at what kind of instructional practices we're doing at that grade level. If the concepts are hard, how can we further support kids moving into fifth grade, I think, nationally. And we see a little bit of a of a dip when we get into grade five, but we want to continue looking at that. How can we support our students and our teachers with the math instruction? Um, after fourth and fifth is just kind of a quick color review. This is the
036current data for math uh at the grade levels that took the I Ready. Um May was what just um I mean obviously the growth is super impressive. Um what is the benchmark? I hate to like ask that because my guess is we're above the benchmark. Um, and we our goal would be 100% anyways, but I'm just curious like how do we fall against like where does that make like right like I mean Yeah. I mean like right like I think these scores are relative to national norms, right? So like if you're tier one that means you're on grade level relative No, no, no. just like what percent like sometimes you've presented not necessarily this but like what's I know our goal is 100% at tier one um but is there like a benchmark for like
037I see what you're thinking like other school other schools or state average or maybe it's not relevant I'm just I was just curious yeah I'm I'd love to answer your question but I'm not sure the answer on that um and I couldn't even tell you how many how many different students does even is based on nationally or in the state. Um I know there was um and Chris and I talked a little bit about that. I couldn't find like the the current 2025 end of year data nationally or for the state. Um and we had information from the state and nally for fall data, but I didn't bring it tonight. But um but I would like to come back early in September to kind of provide where we ended up at the end of the
038year uh compared to the state and nationally when it comes to end of the year benchmarks with um higher ready um and and Allison, it's a good example what you brought up if that's something you want me to kind of get information on and also um switch up when when we get to specific statistics. Yeah. I mean I that doesn't necessarily matter because I think we're probably above benchmark and it's not really like necessarily telling us anything. I mean I guess like to me and correct me if it was state data and not I ready data. Um but at one point we had a conversation somewhat recently that like we were seeing like a drop. So we were like higher in third grade and then we dropped a little bit in fourth grade and a
039little bit more in fifth grade. That was SAS and it was SAS testing. Okay. Because I mean you're not seeing any drop here except for in fifth grade and I think that we've looked at this particular cohort. Um and so it's not necessarily a school. So to answer your question, we did look at SAS data and because we just have tertiary so there's no comparison to the state. They are up in most areas. So it is it is starting to trend what we see here. So we're starting to see that climb. But you're right, it's been the SAS that when they go to three they're usually the highest and by 8th grade they've dipped. Yeah. But we will have that for you. Usually it gets embargo. It's embargoed until October and then it becomes public.
040That's why we try to bring it to the November meeting. But we can bring where we're at just for our for sees next year and then we can do it as a comparison to the state. And then we Ron will have also we're still waiting because he's still got some couple kids finishing up I ready that we can give you and we can share that electronically which I'd be glad to because when you see where we're at for math and reading based on the I Ready diagnostics at the state and at the national level it's it's it's really good data. It's really good data. I'm I'm very pleased the reading data you're going to see kind of missing a few grade levels. I was about to say our April vacation running into May and what
041what we're able to cram into the four weeks of school that we were here was crazy with um the state testing happening with Alova. Uh then trying to get all this packed in. It was extremely busy month and it it came pretty quick fast and furious. Um so the the reading data starts with a cadience information. Um this is this is the one piece of kindergarten data we have. These are kindergarten students and you see one little blip that uh says below benchmark. And um our our reading specialist, Jen Hennessy, gave uh me these graphics and then she called me uh later today and goes, "Ron, that yellow blip, it's not accurate. That kid is actually uh meeting benchmark. It's because of one aspect of Aadian." So we really have all of our kindergarteners at
042or above benchmark for reading right now, which is being passed as they're ending the school year. Um, again, first grade both green and yellow. Second grade, third grade was working on it today. Uh, fourth grade completed theirs and fifth grade is still working on their reading information as well. Um, so I'm wondering besides just the pyramids and the three colors moving forward like when we do these screenings, would it be helpful for me to have specific numbers of students too? Because we can break it down not only by number of students instead of percentages, but we could also break it down to what type of concepts we want to keep working on. I mean, those are the types of things we talk as educators. I don't know how much information the board would like me
043to push forward with. So, I love that you're looking at that as educators. I don't know that we need to get in I I don't feel like we need to micromanage your curriculum that much, but you know, as long as you guys are looking at it, I think um the I think that the number of students is interesting just because that's what I like start doing right away. I'm like, "Oh, what is what is 7% of 54?" And I'm like, "Okay, that's three," you know, or whatever, right? But um the I don't I don't need the the like micro data. What I do think that I already confused the heck out of me with their their like below grade level at grade level because I don't I don't know if that's compare like who is
044that comparing it to? Is it comparing to a third grader in the middle? Is it comparing like is the fall data comparing to third graders in the fall or is it comparing to third graders on average throughout the entire year or is it comparing to third graders in the middle of the year? Like it it's it's a good question. It's it's the expectation of a third grader at the end of third grade year. So in the fall you want you expect people to be do we expect them to be you know one year below. So, if we see a ton of red, you know, we'd rather them either be yellow and green the whole time and then green all the way around. But, um, it wouldn't be it would would not be the expectation that
045So, you're kind of expecting to move from yellow to green through the year. Absolutely. But that's okay. And I think that's why I wanted to keep even though it's confusing how I set it up and the words I read in that's why I wanted to have all three comparisons so we could see that change in the um in the time um so yeah number of students would be helpful 7% could be in some cases two kids and and we can do the same thing as Chris said in September uh as as soon as testing is done at the end of the year we'll be sending uh access codes home to third, fourth, and fifth grade families so they can access their child's uh state testing. We no longer print. We just send them that code
046and then they can look it up. And I'll communicate to parents if you have any struggles. I'm glad to print that kind of information up and send it home. So, um besides uh and these uh specific reports for students for I Ready, we'll get those printed up and sent home on the last day. we send home their uh report card on the last day electronically. So there will be an email from me uh at the very end of Friday the 13th. Nice. Friday the 13th. Uh parents will get a lot of information going home and also uh placement letters about which classroom they're going to be in. Our kindergarten students that are incoming, those families will get a letter from me later in July. Uh Ron, when I was teaching, I found it really helpful
047for the kids to really like um take ownership of their I Ready growth goals because I think there's there's two types, right? There's the typical growth goal and then the stretch growth goal, right? And so like kids celebrating I met my stretch goal. That's amazing. Um obviously for this purpose, we don't need individual student level. Um, but I would love to see like for macro analysis like number of students that met their typical growth goal and number of students that met their stretch go growth goal out of the total. Okay. Um, I think that'd be really interesting because I can tell from these uh these triangles here like there's progress happening like they're accelerating growth relative to what what's expected of them probably. Um, but I think that would really help hammer it home to
048see number of students versus the total that met or exceeded their typical growth goal and stretch growth goal. No, I appreciate that. Is that nice? Is that straightforward enough to pull probably or? Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Are those goals like individual per student? So, you could have a kid who's in the red that met their growth goal, right? So, it kind of is a different data set, too. It's still growth. It's growth for that student who is below grade level, but it's growth for them. Like I think that help to make you know to make at least a year's growth. That's the expectation. Um beyond this kind of data, the um I was able to observe one of my teachers working on a reading lesson with one of her students and just listening to
049her excitement talking to the student about this is where you were earlier in the year. Now look at this. and just the pride from that student was fantastic. So, and that's happening every day. And I think actually what would be really great about that too is those kids, but also the other end of the spectrum, right? The kids who come and they're already at the end of grade level. Are they like still making progress or you know, which I believe they are, but just to show that it's not like and these kids just kind of doing their own thing and not making as much progress as kids who are behind or kids who are on level. Yes. How extended is that? Yeah. Learning. Do this is not related to the data, but do you get
050parent questions like if my child is at a tier two or or a tier three? Like do parents ever ask for like like what should I be doing? Absolutely. Yeah, for sure. I'm not a classroom teacher, so I don't know the day in and day out because I would imagine that's the that's the parents first call as to any of our classroom. So, um me as the administrator, not so much. I think uh Katie Gallow and I put it out there if they have any questions about reading the data uh or um you know, if they want to ask the the classroom teacher or talk to Katie or I about any questions they have. So, I just like am curious like I had this conversation with one of the I forget if I had it
051with a middle school teacher or a high school teacher, but I was asking why there wasn't a reading list. I think I maybe had it at with a high school teacher because like if you were going into honors English, you were getting a summer reading list, but if you weren't going into honors English, you weren't. And the answer that I got was well because too many kids won't do the summer reading. Um, and my response to that would be, okay, so maybe don't make it like tied to success when they come back in September. Um, but there are a lot of kids who might read more if it was put out there anyways, right? Like, oh, my teacher wants me to read. I'm going to read. Um, and I guess like I'm just sort of
052like thinking this like you know sometimes it's a struggle in the summer to get your kids to like engage in things that you would like them to do. Um, and I know that like Mrs. Oxnard does like the granite great great stone face books but like I don't know like I feel like as a parent it would be like helpful like in that letter home or maybe in your s'mores or like hey tips to engage your student in the summer right like here's some great books for a fifth grader to read heading into sixth grade or here's you know fourth graders here's a couple really great books that you know might help you to get ready for I just like I feel like as a parent that would be like oh your teacher said you
053should read these books before you go back to school next year that it might be more I don't know or get the library to like come and do a pump kids up for summer reading win raffle tickets like if they came and did like that fade you know that was super motivating for my kids when they were little and it faded but if a teacher yeah said it the people at the town library have been here before it's been a couple years since they've come, but maybe I can reach out to them. Yeah, I do have a section of my s'mores called Q-tips. So maybe I mean I'm not I don't know that I'm going to be uh pairing it down to, you know, good books for every grade, but maybe encouraging that kind of
054stuff. Yeah. Or resources that identify good books for every grade, right? Totally. Or like you get the Lexile, here's your kids Lexile level. Is there like even a list of that you can be like where's that Lexile level that is that come with the SAS testing? I don't know if it was in SAS or it might be in SAS because I just looked up Meline. I think I already I think it's in SAS. Yeah, but I I mean it just I think it just would be kind of helpful to parents outside. Yeah. just giving them the tools to like, you know, motivate kids to keep engaged over the summer. I think that this is really cool. We're doing awesome things. It's exciting. Chris and I had this conversation last week, but uh one of my
055boys like it's they take writing now in sixth grade, which is new. Uh and we had a conversation about the very few number of kids that were proficient when they started writing in his group. And uh he was one of them. And so we had this conversation about how wellprepared Spacey students are as they hit the middle school. Like significantly more prepared than some of the other kids. Thanks for sharing that. I mean that's that's what we like to hear because that's as far as we get to bring them, right? At least as far as our our role. I know uh the last two or three years, not this past year, but we spent time as a whole school uh working on expectations in a rubric for writing. So, right, it's it's, you know, handing
056off the expectations of how far we want to bring them K to five. So, good to hear. Yes. Yeah, I think that's that's great and it ties back to a comment I wanted to pull us back to the question you had asked about the I Ready scores and whether you wanted whether we wanted you to drill down on the particular pieces where maybe the students as a whole were following falling short and you denied getting that data personally but uh I would agree with the initial answer but if you want to share with us like look we've identified that the you know the there's a bigger yellow here or a bigger red here because kids aren't doing aren't getting this concept and so here's what we're doing and then maybe if we need to direct
057resources in some way I I think that would be helpful. So yeah, it's information we chat about and we make decisions about. But I think if if it's something that would help your understanding of what we're working at um a chance to share it in public and get in the minutes. Yeah. And this is what we do. You should take every opportunity to toot your own horn. Yeah. I think and so this does that but also to say the underlying thing here's what we're doing to make sure we're we're improving this or this is how we got here in the first place I think is a a good story to tell our teachers our staff have high expectations for kids and the way they do it without you know in a calm supportive fun environment
058it's great thank you thank you um we We'll uh give one last opportunity for public comment. Okay. Um we'll stop public comment at 652. You really missed the boat on that one. Well, we were in the middle of a discussion and we can we have to give a minimum of 30 minutes. We can give more. Um I didn't want to disrupt a good discussion, so I stopped timing like 10 minutes ago. Uh cuz I knew we'd hit the minimum. Can I ask a quick central office report question? Um do you know if we're going to lose you next year on our meetings? The entire joint board will get an email from me on Wednesday. Got it. So you're not The short answer is yes. That would be yes. We've had a really good want to
059disclose any information before. But if this was our last meeting with you know well it will not because I I will always see you at joint board meeting. But uh the reorganization, we did a lot of reorganization last Wednesday and we're in a really really good spot with the team that we have and the new hires that have come on. So just waiting to to summarize. I got a couple other people are just giving me some reports so you can see our major responsibilities and the shifts. I just want to share that all in in one report. But Wednesday afternoon at 3, you should you should receive an email from me. Is that the time when you have a new title official? No. July 1st. July 1. Yeah. Still get me. What's that? You still
060get me? All right, Molly. We we've had a good run. But what I would say is that a very high functioning board could have a change and you are a very high functioning board. That's what I would say. Got it. All right. Well, we should have saved that cliffhanger for the end of the meeting. I think u All right. So, now we're moving on to report from the chair. If there's nothing else from the principal's report. All right. Um, do we need you for anything else, Molly? Don't think so. All right. If you'd like to leave, you can do so. Sorry. Thanks, Molly. Thanks, Molly. Thank you, Molly. Thank you. Soccer pickup. All right. Might be right on time. Have a great summer for those of us who might not. I'll see you. All right.
061Elijah, we'll see you to sign the manifest in July. Exactly. All right. Um, safety and security task force update. He had no meeting. That was easy. Uh, superintendent evaluation committee update. We're done. All right. Uh, we'll put policy at the end just because that's the most timeconuming. Um, budget committee update. I think you handled that in your question to Molly, but anything further? Nope. Covered it with Molly at the beginning. All right. Uh, strategic planning committee update. There was a meeting which I was at a hockey tournament during. Were you at that meeting? I was. Yeah. Do you want to give an update? Yep. So, we are in the process of just filling out the different KPIs. So, what we'd be getting so that we can get our forward- facing um platform that we can
062put out so that we've got the initial metrics. So, once we get that, we um the central office team is worked through to to complete that. We'll have one more committee meeting in June, July. So when we get into uh September for the joint board, we'll be able to share what the forward facing metric looks like, how we'll be able to start inputting data, and then how we'll be able to track our progress for our different four goals that we have um that are core values and that our metrics that we're having on. So we're getting close. We're just it's a lot of stuff. This is the scorecard that is the scorecard out there for a long time. Yeah. But it will actually be that you don't have to be someone that just gets an
063email. you can actually be a resident and not have students here and be able to go on our website and see that scorecard and it'll be a real time upload to scorecard. So there is, you know, academic rigor is something that's on there. Uh equity, belonging, um staff retention. So all the key indicators that we looked at are are things that we'll be able to do. So there's still some some things that will be baseline because we have to build surveys because it's a new um value point, but there's others that we already have scores such as our SAS scores and our diagnostics that we'll be able to start uploading immediately. So I um appreciate the committee. It's been a lot of hard work to get to this point. So really appreciate this year-long process.
064I went to another district's um strategic planning summit process and I was so impressed with this company coming out of that like it was not even comparable experience. They're like really made me realize how thoughtful and well planned the process we've been going through is like it really was impressive. Thank you. We'll share that. Yeah, they they've been great to work with. So, yeah, appreciate that, Mike. How how specific are you able to get with like goal setting and KPIs around uh student outcome goals? like with SAS and I Ready being question districtwide like I'm amazed at like some of these large districts that I've partnered with recently. I just pulled up Houston ISD's student out outcome goals. Like they're like we want to improve our state test scores for 41% of students meeting grade
065level up to 56% of students uh meeting grade level by 2028. And they like track progress against that. Yep. which like baffles me for such a large district, but they pull it off somehow. So, yeah, we're going to do something very similar. So, the number of kids that we want to see proficient in both math, reading, we're not going to do science because it's only, you know, grades 5, 8, and 11. So, we'll have the track from 3 to 11 because we'll use SAT scores in there as well. Okay. And then what we also have so that that's a pretty, you know, um specific target, right? Yeah. But we also have a target of of participation of students in their gateway performances in grades 5, 8, and 12. So, if you haven't seen that, I
066was able to go last Wednesday. I was blown away with what some of these seniors did and it's their first time doing it and having a year. I can't wait to some of our kids that have been doing this all along get up there and do these presentations. So that is another goal. So we'll have some of that that um qualitative versus the quantitative data is what we talk about as that whole student because it's not just about a test score. It's also about how many kids are also going we're going to track how many kids are areum having opportunities either for ELOs's or dual enrollment so that they can get college credit. So those that's another indicator in that academic rigor of that we want to um be able to pinpoint and say how
067are we progressing each year to meet the needs of of all kids. So those were the indicators that we looked at. We looked at the um the key indicator of of the the academic testing and then one of the other things that go into an SA16 student. That's awesome. I can't wait to see it. Yeah, it's it's really neat. I think when it comes down and we get a year from it because once we built the baselines, it's going to be really telling data from year to year. Yeah. All right. Um any board member queries or correspondents? I do have one. All right. Um Ron, I just had a question about uh ALOBA. Um, I had a parent uh ask why Sees was the only school that had to pay for ALOA. I sent something
068home to all fifth grade parents about that. Well, she asked me as a board member why we weren't funding it. I didn't have an answer. It wasn't something we put in the budget. It's I thought it was always in the budget. It's It's $15,000. We budget for um any staff stipens. Um we did use a combination of grant money to reduce it. We charged uh um we charge each family $100 with the stipulation that all students are going regardless of ability to pay. Um we have to provide buses. We have to and I know parents picked up because buses couldn't pick up. That was another issue that came up. Yes, it was. And that was the second part of it because it they said that it took over an hour to get their kid picked
069up. It wasn't an hour 20 minutes every day. It might have been an hour to get there, wait in line, and then get home. Well, I mean, parents work, so yeah, I mean that's that's an hour of their day. That was that was I guess like as a board like I certainly don't want to be the only elementary school pay that that is charging our Is it $15,000 per school? No, because it's by student. student the biggest the other schools have 20 students and we have almost 60 we had 59 students we sent um for that $100 they got transportation there four days uh Alan Nova staff nature's classroom staff lunch for three days so it was I I do hear that but like we didn't pay right like I mean the sixth graders didn't
070pay last year and they got buses home So, I guess they do um did they not do a like a big fundraiser for it? Did they do that in the past? Am I making that up? It used Lucia probably did for Sergeant Camp. Sergeant Camp. The last time we did Sergeant Camp, the expense was over $500. We did. I mean, there was definitely big fundraisers for for Lucia and Amelia's class. Yeah. And um I'm I'm glad to put money in the budget if that's what we want to do moving forward seeing that's what the expense is, but uh again I'm trying to balance or is there a like I get that the Alnoba property is wonderful but as the school that has the majority of the people is there another option that's not 15 grand
071like we do or that would rent out really successful over there. So, I'm sure there might be other options, but I don't want Brentwood to be the reason we don't go there. No. Um, and and again, I do put it out there like even if you need any support whatsoever, your child's going regardless of your So, the parent that that came up to me uh is a parent who had older ch kids. So, they knew that it hadn't been charged before. Um, and they knew that they were busted to and from um and so they were like, "What happened?" And I was like, I don't have an answer for you. Um, I'll I'll tell you straight out. The SEZY school activity fund is is getting drained. Like for a couple of years, I didn't charge
072parents for a lot of the field trips. Fourth grade takes a lot of field trips. Fifth grade takes a few field trips. For a while there, we were paying for some of them. They have to pay for all the field trips. So, I don't know why ALOVA is getting singled out when other grade levels are paying for field trips. For some reason, it's this Alnoba. I know $20 at a at a point, you know, I don't know how much we charge total for fourth graders to go on four or five field trips, but it's probably close to $100. I'm not sure. So, I don't know why it's the Aldenova trip that's getting discussed when there's other field trips. I think it's probably just cuz it's always been paid for like that that it was a
073change from their older kids. Wait, was it I'm confused because my kids was not paid for. Was it? Maybe Sylvia's was Sylvia's was. And the busing not busing home. Is that just lack of availability of buses and we were struggling with after school activities for sporting events. So we've had to use our vans. Thank god we have vans or we've had to move games to later because you're having everybody in the sea coast is so those are two even at the high school where parents are driving home are two separate like decisions. Yeah, I'm hearing we can put it definitely put it in the budget so we can budget because I think if you have the end of the year fifth grade activity where all of our schools are coming together that'd be a great
074thing for us to to plan and budget for. Yeah, the transportation is just out of our hands and hopefully our transportation coordinator started today so I'm really excited for her getting on board and working through that. So, but again, we've got to really be consistent of looking at how scheduling happens after school in the spring. It's the hardest time with buses right now. The the Yeah, I mean, I think that it's it's probably a big hit, too. Like $100, you know, versus like $15 for this field trip and $20 for this. We charged $50 last year and I didn't hear from any parents last year. You did charge last year. Yeah. Is there like a um for parents just so that they know that's coming like in the beginning of the year? Is that something,
075hey, your kid is in fifth grade, we're going to do these three field trips. Something might pop up. Here's the That's a lot of pre-planning because it it wouldn't just be for fifth grade. Now, if it's out of Nova, they want to know what the expense is going to be. We get those contracts probably October and November. And then I get the food cost. And again, our what we have to pay for food is more than the other schools. What we have to pay for the Alnova staff and the nature's classroom staff is three times what the other schools have to pay. So they and maybe they have that, you know, their small amount in the budget. And again, we paid for twothirds of it um through grants, through student activities. So I didn't want
076to charge a big expense, but also we have to pay for this invoice. So, um, and again, I could have just put extracurricular in the red. We have the money. You know what I'm saying? So, if if that's the case, we'll we'll pay for it out of the budget. What I can't do from grant money, we'll just take out of the budget and go in the red for extracurricular for this upcoming year. But there's other grade levels that go on field trip, so I don't know. I would imagine it was just the unexpected large amount. I think that and the fact that they had asked all the other school like they had gone like they were irritated um and so they went around and asked all the other schools and it was that that we
077were also the only ones charging. So like I don't know that just I yeah I don't I mean I don't like actually have like a super strong feeling about it one way or the other. Right. I I see the perspective. I guess like I feel as though like there should be consistency school to school, but I don't I don't have like a particular Do the other schools not have buses too? Yeah. Not this year. This year we all parents had to pick up. We could drive there because of the timing. It was getting the number of students on the buses because you're talking I mean seven buses. It sounds weird to say, but that I think is a bigger issue than the money. Yeah. Like because that's you know for parents who are like for
078parents who you know if you don't have a lot of money then paying for gas to drive you know 20 minutes to you know in 20 minutes home for something every day and then if you you know if you're working then having to figure out the timing for that can be a real pain on the neck for something that's like a the other schools all carpooled and they did it way before us. They've been doing that for two or three years. the other schools were doing that drop off and East Kingston's closer obviously the camps in Kensington so that's a lot easier for parents to get there get in and out but um I just didn't want our kids sitting around for over an hour every day at El Nova camp when everybody else is
079gone it's just a lot to ask of them and staff so um I'm glad to get the feedback about it um I'm not sure what the solution is at least for Alva I wants to keep doing this camp. Um, if we went to sergeant camp, that would be a huge expense, you know, that we would put sergeant camp. Yeah. No, I mean, I remember they so that's why I didn't feel that it was such a huge thing to ask uh seeing that last year's group paid 50 and uh really the student activity fund I don't get a lot of revenue. I mean, we take photos and there's not a lot of money making stuff going on here. Um, and I think, um, we didn't go on all the trips during CO, so we were able
080to collect some money and and keep it in the bank and, uh, then we got pretty generous with sending people without charging. So, um, yeah, I saw it and people pointed out that people were kind of talking about on Facebook. Well, and the other thing is like like setting something up where they're doing, you know, there's some expectation of a fundraiser to try and help defay costs or just understanding like we're paying more and the transportation is not like that's out of our hands. I don't know if like people Yeah, moms there's a car poolool thing or like but like I feel like if I was a parent and I'm like I'm paying double last year and there's no transport like you would assume that was part of the same. So just the understanding that
081these are two totally separate things. The actual cost per student is 200 bucks a kid or whatever it is. Yeah. You're paying half of the actual cost and there's no bus drivers. If you want to be a bus driver, get your CDL. Can I as a parent ask a question about what's on about this topic? Sure. You're going to go biking to be recorded. Heather Haget 374 Middle Road. Why is it classified as a field trip when it's part of their because they're not like it's not curriculum. They're not working on school stuff. But why do we classify it as a quote field trip when it's part of the school year that they're being assessed to go into sixth grade or they're doing grouping up everybody in their pods or teams? So, I guess I'm
082not like why it's a quote field trip. Why do we do it? No. No. Why do you call it a field trip and not part of their school? They're there for 4 days. I know they're doing physical activity mostly and not learning like in a classroom, but to me it doesn't seem like a field trip. Yeah. Is there's a lot of team building that goes on. The facilitators work with kids that don't really know each other. The whole point is for them to make one or two new people that don't live in Brentwood as like an acquaintance or something like that. Uh there is there's a lot of skill building going on, teamwork, and there's a ton of activities they do. They love doing the ropes course. They they kind of challenge themselves at different
083levels. So um I mean whether it's called a field trip or a team building or um a transition or um I mean I guess to me if it's part of the school program, it should be part of the budget, you know, just as a parent. Just I mean my kids's gone through it now, so I'm done. But just questioning why in that aspect why it's field trip. Yeah, it feels closer to core than supplemental if it's four full school days where everyone's going and so I don't know whether it's part of the budget or is there is there any sort of like scholarship program if a kid isn't a family's not able to afford to send their kids? Yeah. Yeah. Anybody who asks, I said, "Pay what you can or pay nothing. Your child's gone."
084Okay. So, let's let's not charge anybody. I'm fine with that. But remember, there's other classrooms that go on field trips and we charge parents for that. Yeah. I mean, I guess like I'm I don't that doesn't bother like it's like it's a culminating experience, right? Like, and every kid in this school is going to get it, right? So, like, okay, you paid five bucks here or 10 bucks here for a field trip, but like when you get to fifth grade, I'll know part like I don't I don't feel like it's your it has to be equal to what's happening in second or third grade when you're paying for field trips. I I don't I don't I don't have a super strong feeling whether we change it or not. I just But I don't think it
085has to be like equal. I think it can be a culminating experience that gets included and that it's not negative about pay charging for field trips per person. I I get it's it's you know it's a big price for a trip or an experience or whatever but I thought for $100 four days three lunches transportation there all those activities kind of a bargain. So, we're looking at it's like a $6,000 expense across all the parents that send their children if we have $100 per 59 kids. Um, so it looks at a like a $6,000 increase to the if we want to pay for if we want the school district pay for this, it's a $6,000 increase to the budget at least because remember I use grant funds. There are other funds that I use. Um,
086and because you said it was 15,000 and the 9,000 came out, nine of that came from grant funding or whatever funding that the school was doing. And then the So then the last 600 and then that there's probably going to be less funding available going forward perhaps coming from the school activity fund or perhaps reduction in grant funds given what's going on federally. We have less kids going next year. Yep. We're going from 60 to 40. But next year it's gonna be a lot easier. So yeah. Um but yeah talk to Chris a little bit about his thoughts too about three 12 passenger vans. I'm sorry. 312 passenger vans or three like maybe the high school's not using them. We we haven't used them for trips before. Speaking of policy eB. Yeah. That's a great
087segue. Uh so Rod and Chris will talk about potential Yep. uh ways to address this going forward. Um we have a year. We don't have to make a decision right now. We've already done the budget, so there's no way to change that at this point. So does that seem like a reasonable place to leave it for now, everybody? Great. Yeah. Could I just ask a question? Who planned the fundraisers? It wasn't me. For sergeant camp, do you know? Was it the PFG? A while ago. I can't remember. So long ago. It was pre-COVID. I know. I don't even know what we did. I really I would have to go back and look. I know exactly what you did. It was brilliant. Tell me. You did did a calendar and the you know it was a
088calendar like they do all for all fundraisers and and each ticket cost $10 and for every ticket you sold you got $10 off of your fee to and there were prizes. Yeah. And they got like local places. So that must have been PFG because I don't remember going and asking for. You weren't going door to door. So I would love to. We won tickets to Disney World. You did? That's why you remember. We didn't go. We went away. Turns out a family of six doesn't need three passes for one day to Disney World. It would cost a heck of a lot more money. So we gave it away to a family of three. All right. Well, you disrupted the segue. Sorry. Segue. Speaking of policy, EEBB. Yes. All right. So, policy committee, we met uh
089just two weeks ago. Uh we had a relatively small number of policies. You can see the summary on page um go further down starting on page 22 of the board packet. Um some of these policies are new. What in this listed as new is actually just a replacement of an existing policy, but it's um you can see the summaries in page 2223. It was a sparsely attended policy committee meeting. There were only two polic committee members there. Um I think those of you who are at the common board is everybody um overheard from I want to say new fields um that um like they always have a big question of why are we doing this you know do we have to say this is required by law but every policy has the RSA or the
090federal code of federal regulations at the bottom of the of the policy as to why we're doing it. And just as we did at our last meeting, we try to change the language to match those items. And we did that or those statutes. And we did that again at the most recent policy meeting specifically about um the policy that um Megan just mentioned E B uh not EEB, EA EA, which is about mandatory drug alcohol testing for school bus drivers. The statute applies only to school bus drivers. So that would not apply apply to those using private vehicles. Uh you can see we did make some changes to some of the policies. Again, it used to the use of private vehicles used to require New Hampshire uh um I think you have to renew on
091your birthday. Uh state inspection, but you know, you may have a car that doesn't have a New Hampshire state inspection, but as long as you have a state inspection, that's fine. Um, I guess maybe if you have a Florida plate, you won't have an inspection at all. You'd be out of luck. Um, but anyway, yeah, that was the extent of the discussions really looking comparing the proposed policies to the statutes and then amending where appropriate u based either on the statute or to be cons internally consistent. if you have any questions about any of these policies. Um, so my question was about the last the EEB and using a private vehicle to transport students. Mhm. Um, just coming from Boys and Girls Club where that's like you'll be fired if you even think about doing
092that. It's like just as a safety policy, is there a reason that we would have a policy that says teachers can transport kids in their private vehicles? because we do have some, and this wouldn't typically apply here, but at the high school when students are doing um community- based work site, they'll travel with one or two adults as part of their program in their cars. It can be in a private vehicle. Yep. Okay. Very few, but there are times that it does happen. And like it's swayazy. Is that a thing we would ever I mean I guess it doesn't hurt to have that allowed but typically not but you could have a circumstance where a plan would call for a student to be out in a community based type of work environment. Okay. It's crazy
093what the kids at the high school are how they're getting to games right now. Changes every day. Um, many further questions or comments? I'd like to make a motion to approve the U policies A CF E C A F E E A E E A E E A E A and E E VB. Good job. Is there is there a second of that motion? I'll make and what policies are you seconding? Um stop boop. All those in favor. All right. Uh and I guess we needed one motion to withdraw E AJ. I can make that motion. I'll second that too. All in favor. That motion carries. Um all right. The one last item of u our section is community engagement. Um, so I guess we have to plan for both July and August. Um, well,
094we'll have will we have SAS testing scores? No, that's on the fall. We can have internal data and we won't have anything to compare it to at the state level. I mean, I think that this data is worth sharing like some highlights of Yeah, we can when we get the full data um I already will send it and we can I would love to give you just the one sheet that compares us to the state and the national average because it will be by grade level and sees as a whole school. So that would be great. When will that come out? We um hope to have that by next Friday. Oh, okay. Great. Yeah. When I get that send it to you, Brian. Sure. So I I can do the July which would be the
095Ready data. Um I'm happy to do one of the summers too. He can send it to you and you can forward it if you would like. Um, whatever you want. Why don't you have the hardest topic? Creating creating I mean volunteering due to the content isn't hard. Generating the content is the challenge. I think sometimes I think we had talked about some of the uh solar data. Yeah. So I think that might be a good a good spot. We we'll have the July data probably by well we won't have July. We'll have the June data by July 15th, which would be the due date for the August article. Um, then we al I suppose we also need September, right? Because we're not going to meet before the Well, no, there's only one article. There's only
096one summer. Okay. So, so usually Yeah, we usually submit. Oh, wait. Is it So, there's only one that we have to do. uh two because there'd be one for July August and then the September one the deadline would be August 15th and we're not meeting till September 1st I think um or 8th September 8th um so maybe we we do the I ready for the summer issue and then the solar data for the fall for the September. So, the June deadline is for the summer one. Yeah. Oh, god. I was just trying to bring up the thing to see what other things we've done, but I feel like we've usually done like just a um it's not pulling up. We've just done like a summary of things that have happened at Sway, but I think
097the I Ready data is worth sharing. So, so when do you need that to submit by? What's the June date? So, the June date would be se uh it's usually the 15th of the prior month. So, June 15th. So, I'll get that to you before that. Okay. Thank you. And then by the solar we'll have information on the tax credit. Oh. Oh, yeah. That would be Yeah. Exist. So, that could be a two for here's what it's creating and we've already got our money back. And what's the date for that one to get into September? That is likely going to be August 15th. Okay. All right. So, we can work on that. I'll do the I Ready and then I'll work with Molly to do the solar data if we've got we should have that
098tax credit hopefully. That's great. Uh is there any other old business we need to follow up on? Any new business to discuss? All right. Um I believe we need a non-public Yes, please. under section B. Is that correct? We can do B or C. All right. Uh, under section, let's do B and C. Why not? Crazy today. Perfect. Yeah. All right. I make a motion to move to non. Is that what you just did? Did you just make Well, I did not. I was confirming what section of make a motion to move to non-public under sections B and C of the law. I'll second that. Second. All right. Uh we have to do a roll call vote. I I I I Okay, motion carries. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thanks all. All right, we're
099back in public session at 8:52. Um, I would make a motion to extend one job offer due to changes in um student enrollment or due to um student enrollment and an unexpected retirement. Second. All those in favor? All right. You vote however you want. No, I know. I'm going to vote for it. Okay. All right. Motion passes. Is there a motion? Is there any other business? Other business. Motion to adjurnn. I'll make a motion. All right. Second. All in favor? I. Thank you. Thank you.
