003presentation Juliana Boke and Amelia Robbins okay so I'd like to introduce these two ladies um I will say right now that I sent the presentation to Adam and didn't bring my last figed out but that is why there's a little bit of a delay so come on over ladies we will see if he's got figured out we went looking for a cable and couldn't find it so this is going to work out great so this is Mrs Bo she's our Behavior specialist and this is Miss Robbins and she's our student support specialist so um they have a presentation to share and they'll be able to describe um the differences in their roles and um how we support kids in our school cool thanks courney so I think I know most of you if not like
004I grew up here so I'm sure I could just name drop one person and probably find my way to you somehow um but it's nice to be here um so I am a new hire this school year which Super thankful that you guys went with me because I loving my job this year um but we just kind of wanted to reintroduce the space to you um it was formerly known known as the reset station um and there were a lot of different feelings regarding it being the reset station um and so Courtney graciously let me ask the students at Ocean Crest if they had any name suggestions because I wanted to kind of give it a facelist in a new name and you can C to tell the students already had a different vibe based
005off of the name suggestions that I got because some students were Mrs folks dungeon or some suggestions were the recess room so it was like a very mixed bag but I do feel like that is kind of like what this space is it's like such a variety of supports for these students so I kind of wanted the name to reflect um the reasons why students are sent into this space so we came up with the support space that was I think the most well-rounded name for this room in this space and um just for what it's been in the past um we were able to kind of like create a space that we felt like served all the students at our school and I mean that was really kind of my goal is like I
006get to be kind of like the mediator between a bunch of different services at Ocean craft and this room is kind of like the the in between room that all students can access so I kind of wanted the space to reflect that purpose so we have some pictures to show you if you haven't been into Ocean Crest and seen the room that we can kind of get a visual of like what the space is or if you've been familiar with it in the past you can see kind of the changes that we've made to the space Oh do I get to control it you all right so when you walk in we kind of have we I wanted to have like an open theme just because I love open theme Concepts to rooms um but
007we kind of have like a designated like space where students can come in and if they are dealing with um like a big feeling issue like Amelia or myself can find a book kind of like related to it and find a social story and just kind of like talk to the kids through it there's a probably more seating options than we should have in there but um a lot of comfy seating choices for the students because really some kids just they find their spot and sometimes when they walk in the room just knowing that that's a space that they are used to seeing and it's a comfortable space that already regulates them when they come in um and then we kind of have like our work spaces so students will come in for like work
008completion um we have like think sheets so if they need time to like reflect about an incident um we have students who come in and eat lunch we have students who haven't had breakfast so we kind of have our table set up in the middle for the students to access those as needed um and then this is kind of like the back of the room view from my desk just to kind of see like the layout of the back we do have a crash pad which I'll show more um but when students come in to the space um we'll usually have them come in with like a slip and that will kind of tell me like or Miss Robins why they're there um if the behavior has been chronic if they're just working on a
009test um and students like they're pretty trained like I feel like in the years past they kind of know the routines when they come in um they can kind of go to their space and do whatever they need to do or we have like restorative conferences and talk to students about situations that have come into our room and then we try to communicate with teachers the best we can when we send them back to class because I was a classroom teacher and my kids would just get fired back in my classroom all hot and ready to go and I'm like what happened and um so this slip is really helpful for teachers just to keep that communication for them as far as like what we do and like the interventions that we provide like in
010our room and then we send them back to class and we kind of give a little snapshot of like what we discussed and or if they need to come back and talk to us later just so the teachers kind of know what's coming into their room and and then we also use that space for like behavior intervention so we have students on like check in checkout plans um or they we talk to them in the morning and they check in with us and we kind of establish that positive relationship with them um and then um throughout the day it's a small school so we'll see them off and on throughout the day and just continue to have that consistent support for them and then they check out in our room at the end of the
011day and we kind of just go over their goals if they met them and what they can do to improve them um but it's been as far as as I've been there but pretty successful program to have in place um so one of like the best parts I think of this position is um getting to have like the restorative conferences like I love that students get to come in and like most of the time because it's such a far walk from Recess to our room they're already kind of regulated and we're like why are you in here um and so we get to have those conversations and have like Give Kids the opportunities to kind of like reflect and like work through whatever issues were happening most of the time at recess or um if
012they're just having a conflict with a friend like they know that this space again is not just for like students who are in trouble or students who um are big behavioral challenges like we have like very small problems coming in but we Al we always like treat it as just like a chance to have a restorative conversation just so they're kind of used to that process and um I love that about our school district um and then we have our mood meter which a lot of the kids love to mess with my magnets um but in an ideal situation some kids will come in and just kind of like subtly move it like if they're kind of disregulated before they go back to class A lot of the kids will kind of just like walk
013by the board and just like move a magnet and so it's kind of nice to kind of watch like their progression like some kids will come in really angry and you can tell they're angry but by the time they leave like they'll just move their magnet on Joy or they'll make like a silly face with it um but it's just been kind of like a fun informal way to assess how students are feeling when they come into the room um and then we have different like activities in our Cubbies for students the really popular one has been the putty I don't think it's Amelia's favorite one um because it's ended up like wedged onto clothes and like onto our fidgets and I got my hand stuck in it once and um it's my favorite though
014because it just has such different textures and you can see just students who are doing something with their hands are like so much more open to talking with me about situations that are going on just because their hands are busy and like every single student has requested putty now for their classroom which I've had to like I tried it one time in the classroom and I was like no thank you um so that stays in my room um but we have sand we have building blocks we have tiles um we have sensory bins fidgets we have the brain flakes um really there's a bunch of different activities that they can do on their own or they can invite other people to do that with them um it's just a really good space and it's like
015consistent so they know what's in there and they when they walk into that space like what their options are and then I Courtney let me purchase a walking pad for my room um we strictly have to make sure that it is a walking pad because we have little people that I was like if you're running you are not walking um we've only had two injuries so far so I'm hoping that I get to keep it um but this is like great for the little ones because they they just have got to get their wiggles out and we used to have a bike but it didn't fit all the people in the in the building and so I decided a walking pad would be a good addition and that the students have really loved it and
016enjoyed it and even students who are not typically that active will pop on it for a couple of minutes and just walk and um it's just a really good stationary movement break for them um and then we have this is our Crash Pad so this is if students are haven't slept well or just need a break or are just tired for this specific student um she it's like a sensory break where she comes in and sits with the weighted blanket on the crash pad and we'll look at books and it's really transformed the second part of her day so it's just that little simple noticing that what she needs and um being able to accommodate in that space again it's for so many different reasons but I just love that it's so flexible for that
017um so Amelia is the student support specialist which primarily what was ran the room before I got there um and so some of her job duties that she now is she's really good at restorative conferencing um she supports students in returning to class successfully after Behavior incidents she inputs all of the student data all of it um and then she is very helpful in supporting students and managing their behaviors and kind of guiding them to more helpful choices when they come into their room um so it's been really awesome to have her there because because she is there I get to do my job um which I love because I really love being like in the class room because as a classroom teacher I was like I just love another adult to be in here
018or like I would love somebody just to take this kid out of my room um so that's what I get to do um so I get to go into classrooms and observe students um I get to offer behavior supports and teachers have been really accommodating to let me come in and try different ideas with our students and just to know we have like that unspoken communication where I can just take a student and work with them and then bring them back to class um I get to do community circles um so I get to bring in if there's like a friendship conflict or um an issue that revolves that includes more than like three kids I call them Community circles and me bring them in and get everybody gets to have like a talking piece
019and um it's a really really effective way to conference with students and make sure everybody's voic is heard in a respectful manner um and then I get two help run behavior ssts and one thing I love being able to be out at recess because that's where we see the most behaviors coming is during the unstructured chaos times which I'm sure is not surprising um but I get to be out at recess with certain students like supporting them if they've had like Hands-On or behavior issues I get to go out there and observe them and just kind of be a voice in their head when I notice them making unsafe choices and I get to hang out with the kids and play tether ball and um so that's been really good this year um and then
020I get to do character strong groups which I'll talk about next and also data class because this data is just never ending in that position um and then I'm also the 504 case manager for the Ocean Crest um so this year I get to do character strong groups so I had the teachers kind of fill out a screener for any students that might be flagged for needing more tier 2 support um at like an emotional level so I have students with like internalized emot internalizing emotions and students with externalizing emotions so right now I have like a kindergarten Group which we all know kindergarteners need all the help because they're so cute but so wild um and so that's one of my favorite groups I get to run just teaching them how to be calm
021and how to be responsible and how to listen and follow directions and so that's been one of my favorite groups so far then I also get to work with the fourth graders just because the move to Harbor Lights can be very scary and different and I just want to help them give that support as far as transitioning from fourth to fifth grade and and so I get to work a lot on those like social skills and like how to regulate and how to manage your emotions and how to be resilient um and so I've really loved getting to do those groups and I think think that's it thank you where's the where is the support station um it's like diagonal across from this resource room so yeah okay yeah come see it you you more
022than welcome to come play with P just be careful with your clo yeah just don't let it touch anything I'm curious to know how this evolved because I my grade school experience 65 years ago nothing like this at all it was just survival the F and and I just I my mind is spinning trying to imagine how my experience would have been different if there would have been something like this you know there was nothing and we had some great great teacher that was it it was either uh I mean you go to in the hard share in the principal office that was the closest thing I was to the start of therapy when when did this happen I mean obviously it's been 65 years uh is this new or has this been around for
023decades um well I went to a training like three years ago um it was like a sources of strength like curriculum and um over in Medford and I was like a third grade teacher and I had walked in into a room full of behavior Specialists and I was like what is that position like I had never heard of it before I just thought I got roped into this training um and a lot of school districts at least like I think it's a pretty recent development um have adopted Behavior Specialists and because it is like almost an essential position I feel like out of school and I just know working on my last District it's like it is survival of the fittest but it's also you're losing so many teachers so so Stan this is the
024eth year we've had this space at Ocean press this is the first year that it's been ran by a certified teacher so it's been ran by classified staff that's our support staff up until this year um when um the superintendent saw the need um for us to be able to have somebody that was so like before Julie like I was managing all these behaviors as the principal because our classifi staff they don't have like phone conversations with families they are not paid enough to to do that right um and so so having a certified person as position has really taken that load off of me and I'm still involved I still get all the emails I still know what's happening but she's able to communicate with parents in place of myself for the teachers this
025is really aming yeah when I was a kid I was like I didn't know this until recently I was fully symptomatic for every known form of ad80 issue and uh they didn't use ropes on me but it was close so we don't have any ropes but I I did come from a district the last District I taught at in the valley um we had a space like this for I'm going to say probably six seven years we had a space like this prior to me coming to Bandon this would have been very nice um so it has existed for a while you said you know the answer million years ago I was a behavior specialist I thought courtne I know the answer to this one in the 90s organ State piloted a study for the
026positive behavior intervention supports okay and so during the 90s while they're colleting that tbis data School said hey we can do do something with this and it took many forms over the last 25 years but that kind of that seed started right here in Oregon I was beavor specially in Texas but the data is far reaching and I think it was because of those experiences from your generation and our generation they would just sit us in the principal's office there was no connecting us back to the classroom like they do that restorative conference that conversation to re integrate us back into the learning environment and teaching the behavior that maybe the kid doesn't realize what they did is unacceptable we have to have that conversation some Behavior have on top allor well we knew we
027were being bad yeah the support the support space that I went to had a paddle still the Board of Education right Vis and she was doing a lot with behavior that we saw could be kind of put out there for every student not just for a student identified for I services and so it it grew out of that I remember I had friends who I watched get lost and I a few of them I interacted with later as adults and they just lamented said what happened it was just there was no safety net was it was just you survived or you died socially and behaviorally don't imagine the need for something like this ends at Great school so is there an equivalent in middle school and high school just looks different yes appro I got
028a tour of high schools rec we have to support the positions that's part of our um bfp that we're doing to Improvement plan so we've been a lot of data coming in and Julia Julia because I can't it's hard to call you your full name okay only my kindergarten jul in school has we have so much data to support those positions um just because of the need of the changing behaviors of kids environmentally um social emotional Pieces Just that that step that we were always missing where the teacher would send them out so you have explosive behaviors both with the teacher and the student and then all of a sudden they go to the principal's office and then they're turning right back around to go to the teacher well the teacher hasn't calmed down yet
029you know of maybe some of the situation so these rooms allow that that pressure to come down for both students and teachers and so I think every year our system gets a little bit better so adding you know an actual certified person in there that has the specialty background has really improved and we had some major behaviors this year in the elementary so she stuffed in at a great time and I love that it's two people and not one because it does allow you to go into those classrooms where we might have a kid that's boiling out of the classroom and that allows the teacher to take their kids out that allows her to go in there to talk to the kid that maybe be an exlusive and then we still have the room set
030up to where if any other kids are having troubles they're able to go there so it's a very effective system I'm very proud of it and we didn't start that way just I mean we're halfway through the school year we started the year with just miss Bo um I was like no thank you yes and I mean she did she accepted the job and gladly came but as the school year went Onin the first month we realized it didn't make sense to to only have her we needed somebody that would be in the space at all times and then we needed for it to truly benefit our students and our staff we needed there to be two um two adults so we did some shifting around in our staffing um thanks to the superintendent's approval
031and um which has allowed us to establish this program that we have thank you ladies so much for being here you thanks for having us yeah um moving through our information section over to our reports we're still stay in steady with enrollment that's a happy place to be especially this time year we make any adjustments that we need to make so we don't have a big way payment thats out of our um State payment so GL is very good about watching that and making sure um if you read through the district out of glance there's quite a few things that are starting to come up Spring becomes our really fastpaced time so everything starts to happen in the spring it feels like um so make sure that you're really paying attention to those dates and
032getting them on your calendar um me I I went to the naal um educators conference and it's one of the ones that I like have in my contract to go to because it's probably the best professional development any administrator could go to not just because of essential pieces of it because that's really great to be able to network but the offerings of the professional development coming from all the different states and all the different ideas and it gives you table talks to where I get to talk about Bandon and the great things we're doing and listen to other school districts of you know class sies loads or different things like that more lucky I mean we don't have 35 to 40 kids in every classroom which a lot of schools do and so some of
033the things that I would talk about I learned real quick that I needed to be quiet because that isn't what's happening in every District but it's great to be able to hear an advocate for our students and staff there and poor Adam gets inundated because they're talking I'm like fascinated with AI but they're talking about all these different tools that will help with with different things that we do in from business manager to HR stuffff to all the way down to the classroom and the students but it was just like mindblowing of all the things and how rapidly it's changing and we need to get on board and Oregon's kind of really slow to get on board so I think that that's something that our district needs to be in the Forefront of is really
034um get some AI not to be preventative to teach teachers how to catch kids cheating but it's actually more than that it's how you can do greater more the lesson plans that some of the teachers showed were like amazing how they integrated their own curriculum that they have the suppl so the things that we used to dig for 10 years ago as a teacher all is coming to you so those types of things administrative I want to get this little tool that like you have a meeting and it interprets the whole meeting where you brings it up right there after the meeting it's all written out for you and I'm like that would be really great for our HR meeting for like the school board would already be there and then Connie could always go
035back and check to make sure she didn't miss anything so there's just a lot of wild and created the tools that are out there and I think that to educate ourselves on it that will be best for Stockholm students so I'll be looking in that direction of us taking the Forefront of that at least for the coast because um I don't want to wait till the state decides to do AI because I think that we might be really left behind for that piece of it it was just I just love that conference it's just so it fills my brain so full every time all the different professional development choices you have and I like went to half of the session and one time and then snuck out so I could go to the other one
036because they're at the same time and you know they have over I think it's 400 different sessions you can go to it's like amazing this is like mindblowing the things that you can look at and research and know about or topics or and then they have Round Table sessions where you sit at different tables and there's different topics of all these things that are going on and there's just it's a beautiful beautiful thing to be that yeah I always come back really excited and um wanting to order things that well it sounds like your wies best I think I think it's a direction that we need to go um as I was reading through the district report I had two questions um Courtney could you talk about the $50,000 grant for early literacy yes um
037I started with our ESD so science of reading the governor was pushing science of reading for the K3 early literacy initiative um and that was last year and we we received grant funding and that was um part of that funding is where we took our teachers to Florida you know over the summer and um so I connected with um somebody from the ESD who I coordinate like the district scup training um so some District trainings I connected with her and I said I'm really looking for science of reading training for my staff because I I need the expert to come to us and she said oh you're she said you're the first teacher the first elementary teacher in our area that has asked for this and I was like am I doing something wrong that
038I'm the only one asking and um anyway so she connected me with OD and they have this educational Innovative and Improvement initiative and so um I met with od's rep for this I'm her name is shaa and we put together um a plan of what I wanted for my staff and from there then they put it out and this was back in like I've been working on this for a long time so this was back October November and then they put it out to their um educational companies and then those companies bid on the job so that's so that's how this works so I only found out a week and a half ago that um I have this I have the bid um I presented it to my teachers and said this is what we
039have the ability to do it's a year-long partnership so like let's say we start next month in April it's going to go through next April okay so it's not just going to be we get for like two months and then roll it over um it's a yearlong commitment and it can be whatever we need um and it's tailored to our current reading curriculum so they're not coming in and trying to teach my teachers some new curriculum while we're in the middle of our adoption they bring their experts who are experts in our curriculum and how to then teach that with the science of reading explicit instruction with what we already have so they'll come in and do coaching um and I I what will they will do for sure is um like professional developments so
040as we plan our PD calendar for next year we will pull in I will PR some of those also so they'll do professional development with my um teachers and my support staff because they work with the curriculum in small groups so that only makes sense and then I can also pull them for um coaching so this can be for one of my newer teachers which I have a handful of or this can be with one of my more veteran teachers that just want more practice they'll come into the classroom and model lessons and do that coaching so we are so we've committed to this group The Core learning who already worked with small rule um districts in Oregon already um and their impact and their um reading state test that they so I'm in that
041process the next would be then to have a zoom to really like tailor out um the support we want from home yeah thanks for all your hard work on that sure uh the other one was uh sounds like we have a problem with the grounds over at the for the bus barn trying to lay off Foundation yeah a little bit not compact enough or something yeah so that was all back in the ' 50s they from what the information I gathered it was uh all filled when they put the road across and so and so we did popping in that area and just to see how far it went because really on building that size and the parking buses on it um and the way you almost have to well you do have to dig
042down and then either tover soil and then build back up um we dug down at least 15 ft and we didn't hit F so oh man so the pilings and the amount of concrete rebar and all the things that would have to be to make it substantial enough for buses to park on is not viable um so we're working on plans uh we've kind of drawn up with our engineering um Team to move the building back into the parking lot uh a few uh about 60t is so um just to and will it'll be up on that higher level and then and the doors will be facing nor so that direction um so it'll be spun and pulled back just the way that the The Fill went it went from about half of where that
043building was the old bus F half that it goes almost at a direct diagonal all the way to the South um to the top corner so there's a big portion of it that we just can't use we can't OV excavate and rebuild okay um won't support the stru here so uh so at this point uh we brought in all the subs back in and to re kind of evaluate and re if we move it back what what's it going to cost and so we're uh we did that last week and so we're going through that process they're getting all the BS is together I've seen one or two and it's saving us money in a lot of different directions um because it's closer to like our utilities um one of the big things that we're
044thinking um because it's up on the higher grade and not in the whole we were having to um put in a lift station for the sewer to go uphill uh now that it's up on a higher grade gravity feed it so that's about $155,000 savings okay um which will hopefully incorporate all the like three or six feet of Fe of fil basically in front of the building where where it's low yeah um and then yeah so we're we're getting all the the numbers together see what that looks like um and then go forward this was a Miss by zcs yeah that was the other thing I our so our engineering company they just as quick I won't take time but just as a quick in every project you're supposed to do a Geotech report which
045means you look at the ground see if it's viable to build on so they did one but they in order to save money which is this reports about $5,000 for a very full report um they took we had a Geo engineer report done on this this building when we did the U sement Rehabilitation few years ago 2016 they took that one and used that were over there which hadn't been surveyed nothing had been done none of the what what they're so that's it I have lots of thoughts about that but anyway we're we have to fix it for where we're at so they didn't do what they were supposed to do um so there's obviously a bit of re-engineering to do um I am in talks with them right now that they're going to pay
046for it all because it wasn't my mistake it was their mistake and yeah we had you know working through that good luck with those that's a tough it is a tough one but anyway we we we're g to get something out of it I promise you that yeah we've been through this in other other things so we'll make it work anyway so there's just a I mean it's just it's just kind of how it works yeah such a long drawn out process to go through all this stuff and then to have a hiccup like this to set you back to re engineer but we think that we're not gonna have to extend any time so our time frame they built in already for the end of July so we're we're we're hoping if we can
047get started by in the next couple weeks back up we we we'll still be on track Okay so um did anybody else have any questions on the report we received I have two small ones tion the National Honor Society students how does NHS membership to get in they're nominated by their teachers primarily on grades but they also have a lot of extracurricular activities that very prestigious do we Ty have about's two years but uh usually just yeah that's probably about what we have it just kind of depends on the year um last year I want to say we had a couple W more um but like I said just flues with the class class size obviously makes a big difference in that too so yeah just kind of varies on that kind of stuff so
048we appreciated that Mr Taylor before school so we could have the parents witness the ceremony it was very scripted and you know respectful very I it need to see candle lighting and pledges they make to each other all the other existing um NHS members were sitting around this way to support them while they were on something with like an aha fundraiser money going towards the American Heart Association yeah the American Heart Association yeah so are we raising money American Heart Association okay yeah so if we call it the kids heart Challenge and so that we've done this I know I took it over when I was a teacher yeah was still there back in the day it used to be called Junk it's now been through a couple iterations yeah so it is a fundraiser
049and all of that money does go to supporting the kids heart the American Heart Association yes and then our PE teacher four weeks that we're raising the money she has an activity that comes from the program that she does with the I remember that yes well it's been around for years and years Shelby was doing it she was in grade yeah I still do the else okay over to rowy um uh some really cool things have been happening to clubs recently gotten like four in one year which is crazy and two this last month um there's a new Encompass club which from what I understand I actually didn't ask the adviser about it from what I understand it's just like a nice place for everyone to be supportive around each other um and then we've
050also got a different club that is in the works of being formed it's not technically a club yet um but the theater club which um it's theater um and then the SATs are going to happen the 12th which is which is this Wednesday and the thing that's happening for students um as far as field trips go there's been the Redwoods that happened not sure of the date but it happened I believe last week um for three days and it's hiking bunch of students go out then prom planning is going well um it'll be hosted in the Ocean Crest gy Gym at April 19th the seniors are doing a fundraiser for Crispy Cream that is actively going on um besides that I think that's it awesome all right any other questions from the board all right
051this is the point of the meeting where I will dismiss anyone that doesn't need to be here for the rest of the meeting thank you very much okay uh pay some bills 5.01 I believe 14694 any discussion on the bills all those in favor right um 5.02 to 5.08 second reading of the revised policies that we've received have a motion that I move any discussion on those all in favor all right uh 5.09 and one deleting two uh old policies motion and any discussion on those I just have one quick question the one on like fingerprinting so does that just apply to different policies for fingerprint teachers but like if you're a volunteer you still think it every body has to be fingerprinted anymore that has anything kids there's just just a different I guess
052depth of fingerprinting like the background check for a teacher or someone who's going to go on a overnight field trip or something is way in depth where if you're just coming in to read in the classroom we just make sure that we do one of the simpler ones and that's to prevent just the unknown you know know everybody that wants to come do something present I did not one thing on the on the last page this is in the section um instruction materials that um just FYI I just stumbled upon this but it says the board retains the authority to approve core instructional materials used in district schools and authorizes of the superintendent Etc has to do with you know all the materials that come in including books and the library and um down here
053it says all School library materials will be selected by a librarian using established selection criteria so anyway um uh there is currently being rushed through the Oregon legislature by the super majority a new law that very specifically forbids the uh School staff and school boards to have any control over what books are in the library and I don't know who that makes sense to but I'm just saying that's exactly what the law says I have no idea why they're doing that why they're pushing it through what their what their goals are I'm just saying that's that's being pushed through the legislature right now which would dramatically affect our control over what uh kids are reading and go yeah hopefully that uh doesn't make it through well we we do what we can and Sean I
054have a question too on that the vets in the classroom that's happening do they do any other um like watch the the safety videos do they have to do any events usually our volunteers that come don't do the safe schools they they do the background check they're not still being supervised by the they're not among kids and their um the other part is is that like coaches different than that right because they're with kids every day they're alone with kids they might be in an isolated area that isn't it it's just like the we have a another corporation that comes in with their dog the dog and reads books to the kids their background checked yeah so but they don't have to take all of our safe schools that our employees take right uh did
055we vote on the 09 and one Z we had a motion and a second I had comment so now all in favor perfect thank you John uh 5.11 to 5.15 first reading for the adjusted policies a second okay any discussion on those all in favor okay uh 5.16 Health curriculum request for postponement so um we this is the year we're supposed to be adopting the health curriculum um but what what we after we're talking about it just with money constraints and with like new Administration coming in we don't know if the same like rules will the standards for the health curriculum will be the same so we thought it would be best not to BU something right now and then have it changeed and have to buy something different so we are allowed to postpone
056it through a waiver if the if the board approves it um and so that's what we would like to do is kind of financially not do it for financial reasons and the other just to see how everything shakes out with new Administration is that a six figure deal What's the total cost normally of a that well health isn't as expensive like language like for us the ELA was just for the elementary school was about $90,000 um this won't be as as much just because we'd only need like one set of books or I think the elementary was more of an online like curriculum so they liked the curriculum I mean the teachers love the curriculum that we pick I'm just worried that if we buy something and then it changes then we have to buy
057something else we just can't all so sorry they're supposed to be for seven years so every seven years you're supposed to adopt the new curriculum for that that state amended curriculum what's how long's the post come it's just a like a twoyear process so we'll start it again so like we did that with science already and so science will now come back on board and we'll look at new curriculum and we'll adopt it and then start it in two years so next year will'll be the we'll do the same thing go through the cart see what we want see what we don't want get the cost put it into our budget and have it for the next year and that's all done by committee right and it's offered or the community to come in and
058see whatever we come down to the two choices that we come down to then it's open for the community to see the online portion and we' had a lot of it already kind of ready to go I'm I was just worried that things could change and we don't have money to buy a curriculum twice, years so I'd rather wave It Off come back to it and know where we stand and then do go from there this is the first for help heal science we did we used to not be on the state recommended curriculum um Doug started to get us there um but we used to not be on it so we were really out of date in a lot of our curriculum so we're just FP side the FES like just curriculum changes are
059made to that curriculum not also apply for to say don't well so you can wave to say that you financially can't do it but you still have to look at it within the two years and you have to take your curriculum and say this is how it meets all the new standards and V it to show and then OD can approve it or not so you say right awesome um anyone like to make a motion on that I have second further discussion all in favor advanced environmental science field trip yes request um would somebody kindly read this I'll dear principal do super and School Board the advanced environmental science phhs to request your support for an overnight field Tri Southern Oregon in May of 2025 we would like to take a float trip down the
060newly restored CS of the clan River Crater Lake National par we've been studying habitat management restoration believe this is an amazing opportunity to see a very exciting new project at its beginning primary cross with the flip trip we are looking for reasonable accommodation we will cook ourselves as much as possible every attempt to keep cost down but would request that the district cover Transportation set a costs all other costs included food lodging flue trip and missions be covered by Grant funds and student funders still working on the final itinerary but are presently looking into visits to Redwood State Park CL River Ash Crater Lake attached a letter outlining trip specifics as requested previous years the students that I am very excited about is excellent learning opportunity thank you for your consideration Trent Hatfield science uh
061no that's okay I always ask the same question can we affort do this it's the thing is that is what's nice about the transportation of something like this is because it's culum base related you reimburse 70% of the transportation cost so we're picking up the 30% and subs for for those days is Minal 30% of 1500 is our only hard cost them that's PR such a deal second I yeah I Che that any further discussion on that well I'm wondering why they need snowshoes in May do they really need snowshoes in May my well was crampons just in okay all in favor that passes as well 5.18 approve uh golf co-op with coil High School can you explain that to me okay so Kil has one boy golfer and one girl golfer they don't have
062enough for a team so we're letting them come we're letting them come and play with us they didn't they didn't want to do it last year but they're doing it this year because they only have and because they know we're really good at golfing but that doesn't like affect our numbers no I know like how we can't do it right sometimes because Co kills not in ours they're above yeah so they don't they just cooperate so our coaches take them on yes right yeah and I believe like yes and we're not over we can't find out what handicap is start so we'll take them on and and Jim will work with the ad down there to make sure that they're registered and ready for the the matches that they have and things like that where
063they from oh my what's nothing like so any and if there's JB matches like maybe the parents would then be the provider of the transportation for the coil kids or things like that but they they come here for practice and we don't send any transportation out same place so yeah usually actually and if not if if like we don't have enough for a JB but maybe they want to do a JB tournament then that will be the the option of their ad down there to do that with that student I would hope another school that us we do they did that for wrestling us definitely reciprocal at this point so it's a good good thing to do all right can I have a motion for that I more discussion all in favor just a unanimous
064today okay there is no 5.19 all right so do we have any public input for items that were not on our agenda that you want to speak right um I move to adjourn second second discussion all favor
