001Um, [clears throat] all in favor? >> I I Okay, let's I would like us to look at our upcoming board meetings. I know there's a conflict with the June 10th one. Is that the That's the same night. So, >> 8th grade graduation is the same night. Normally our board meeting is after graduation but because graduation is late this year.

Do we need to have on that to change the meeting or is that something we just [clears throat] We don't need a motion for it. Okay. So, that it So, does that make it not a regular board meeting? >> That's right. >> It makes it a special board meeting. >> It makes it a special meeting. >> All right. Well, let's move on to 2.0, know our school spotlight which is Winterlakes High School and we'll turn the time over to Tiffany >> Okay.

004Um I have some wonderful faculty and some wonderful students here to uh talk about what we're doing at our school. So the first person I would like to invite up here is one of my wonderful scholars vet. Okay, sorry this speech is like short notice. [laughter] So, um, yeah. So, my name is Evette. Before coming to Winter Lakes, I was behind on credits, unmotivated, unsure of my future and honestly unsure of myself. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age and made school, social life feel 10 times harder than it is. concentrating, staying motivated, keeping up. None of it came naturally to me than it did other kids. Starting school felt like a candle in a hurricane, overwhelmed and something I couldn't control. I didn't feel like I fit in, and I honestly

005didn't understand my purpose and understand school's purpose. When my parents first enrolled me into Winter Lakes, everything changed. If I had to describe Winter Lakes in three words, the first would be understanding. I never felt once like a burden or like a slack to the teachers. I never felt judged by my te teachers or peers. When I felt behind, my teachers didn't get frustrated. They helped me make a plan and walked me right right through it. The second word I would describe Winter Lakes is motivated. The teachers here genuinely excited to see you succeed. They celebrate your accomplishments and push you towards your goals. As someone who struggles with motivation, that kind of support was something I didn't always feel in my other schools. The last word is opportunity. Before Winter Lakes, I couldn't have

006told you what I wanted to be. Then I discovered cosmetology and realized I wanted to become an aesthetician. Winter Lakes opened that door for me with hands-on programs, field trips to beauty schools, and real experiences that showed me what my future could look like. And it's not just cosmetology. There are field trip, guest speakers, college, military reps, trade school tours, technology school tours, programs, opportunities everywhere. Winter Lakes has showed me no matter what direction I choose, trade school, military, college, I'll be supported, and that's what makes a great sport in my opinion. It changed my life and it changed my parents' life to see their daughter finally succeeding. So, I want to say thank you to Mrs. Clapper, Mrs. Nively and all my amazing, wonderful teachers that have supported me through Winter Lakes and who

007helped me get where I am today. Thank you. >> All right. Roxy is also one of my beautiful students that work um in the cosmetology world. She did not um make a presentation. She's a little bit nervous, but she will be part of the back end of the presentation here in a little bit. So Sean, if you don't mind going to the next slide, I want to start out with some really fun um pictures from the very beginning of the year. So, our cosmetology students went to Lincoln and supported in the harvest festival and did some face painting for the wonderful little there. So, these are just and if you want to keep clicking through, there's some great pictures. Okay, so we try to have as much fun as we possibly can on campus. Um,

008these are just some wonderful pictures of spirit week. So, we did an old people day. We did a jersey day. Our staff and students um dressed up. If you go to the next slide, we did an 80s day and a camo day, which has been really fun. Okay, so I'm going to now introduce my academic advisor for my campus, Miss Snively. and she is going to talk about all of the hard work that she has put in on the back end that nobody sees and isn't really recognized. But she does a really really amazing job to get our kids connected in the community and out into the college um sections of the opportunity platform. So please, MISS >> Thank you so much, Mrs. Clapper. Um, do you run the slides then? Is that how that

009works? Okay. Thank you. >> Let me know what you mean. >> Perfect. Thanks. >> Um, if you'll go back one, I want to recognize a few programs that help fund the things that we do outside of the school district funds. So, um, TRIO has been in our building for, uh, a few years now. Um, last year we had one of our own teachers take over um a part-time trio position. Uh, which has been fantastic because this is a person who already has a connection with our students. The students feel comfortable going to a teacher rather than maybe somebody that they haven't met before. Um, last year also we signed up for the Aspire program which gives us uh funding to do college and career readiness programs. And then both last year and this year um

010we have applied for grants through the Oregon goes to college fund. They will pay for um either day trips or even an overnight visit uh which we did do take advantage of last year for our cosmetology program. Okay. So a couple things I'll make it fast. A few things that we've done this year. Southern Oregon Trade Careers Expo in Canyonville. We took 21 students. Um, we took eight students and two chaperones on another overnight trip this year to Calamoth Community College where uh they have a two-year cosmetology degree. Um, the fantastic news is that students can use the Oregon Promise Grant to get their cosmetology licensing there. KCC um is a part in a partnership with OIT. They're both in the Clamoth Falls area. Uh so OIT and KCC have a really great uh program

011where you get free tuition on your first and last term if you do the the program that transfers from one to the other. Um the co the Kquwell casino had a career fair that we took students to. We've had some visitors in our building. The United States Army Recruit Hippo is often in our building but also has done some presentations for our students this year kind of focused on resume building strategies. Uh and then Miss Cous County came in to talk about their scholarship program with our students this year. Uh we had a guest speaker, author Linda McGinness come to our cosmetology classes and speak about her career, her um stories such as working on celebrities like John Travol Travolta. In January, we took 16 students over to visit Wolf Creek Job Corps and Umpqua

012Community College. Um, they gave us some really fun elephant toothpaste, I think it's called, uh, lab experience, which for Winterlake students is a novelty because everything we do is mostly online. Uh, and then we had another another game that we played uh, that was kind of germ spreading situation. Wyotech visited the very next day in our building to talk about the programs that they have to offer. They are a trade school in Wyoming and they focus on things like automotive, diesel, um, and welding kind of are some of their big areas. Uh, then in also in January, four students and one teacher went to Lane Community College to tour and see what degree pathways they have to offer. Um just two days ago uh one of our teachers took some students to SWAK for the

013forestry and logging presentation at SWAK. That was in conjunction with OSU. Um they had a presentation for I think log rolling and axe cutting and things like that. Uh, one of the highlights I I have of last year joining the Aspire program is we started our first college and career week at Winter Lakes High School. Um, so these are pictures from last year. Our college and career week this year will be from March 9th through the 12th. Uh we have themes like your future looks bright, so wear sunglasses and neon colors. And on that day we have resume building workshops two times during the day. Um and then the following day we'll have dress for success as if you're going to an interview and we hold mock interview sessions in our building twice each day.

014We invite volunteers who do the entire u volunteer background check and everything um from so volunteers from the community come in. Last year's feedback was very very positive from teachers uh students and from the the volunteers. So, I'd like to cordially warmly invite you all if you have time in your um Monday, March 9th and Tuesday, March 10th to visit our school and help uh with resume building workshops and mock interview sessions. Some upcoming events that we have, uh TRIO is going to hold a college 101 event for juniors that this takes place every year. the juniors get to go experience a few hands-on classes on the SWAT campus and then we will uh have a group of students that we'll take for a a generalized tour of SWAT hopefully in April as well. Uh

015we had two financial aid evenings this year for our students. One for the FSA ID creation um and to kind of get started on the FAFSA and then another for more uh localized FAFSA and financial aid applications. We had a um guest come from college and career options uh which is funded by the Ford family foundation and he came to support both of those evenings with us. And then we also held a ECMC college night. Um, we were one of the first 120 schools to apply for the college night, which then led to us being selected to award one of our students a $1,000 scholarship, which is a really exciting first for our building. I think that's Yep. Thank you so much uh for hearing me out tonight. And that is just one staff member

016in my building doing the back work. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have run such a wonderful campus with the best team of staff that I could possibly have. We take kids exactly where they are. They could be miles miles away from getting a diploma. And we're getting them across the finish line. and I can't do it without my staff. And right now, we currently have 10 graduates so far this school year with a high school diploma and one with a GED as a five-year completer. So, I'm super proud of my staff and all the hard work that they have put in to help support our students. What's happening in CTE? Well, I usually stand up here and talk about construction, but I'm not going to do that today. And I'm just

017going to give a small little pigment of cosmetology. So, the cosmetology girls are working on hair. They're working on nails. They're doing all of those wonderful things. Roxy is a rock star in doing some cornrows and some French braids. So, if you ever want some cornrows, please come on down. She will gladly do them for you. She is phenomenal at that. That is such a gift that she has to be able to work through the hair. I I could never do that. So I want to give you props Roxy for doing such a good job. The last thing is if you want to go to the next slide. Um so like I said at the last staff meeting we are now able to offer practical exams on site for our students and hopeful that we

018will be able to do written exams in the future. Something new that Brenda uh Miss Gobble, sorry, is working really hard with our students is we are now creating a nail store at our school. So students are taking acrylic nails, the fake ones that you can glue on, and they are decorating them, and they are doing it to their own style. So some of the girls are focusing on stiletto nails, those are the really long pointy ones. Some are working on the really short um square nails. Some are working on an almond shape, but they each have their own definition of what nail they like to work on. And so now they are painting these nails and we are selling them to the public. And there's a whole business plan and all of that that

019Miss Goble has worked really hard with the students. They have business cards and there is examples at the back table. If you want to look at them at some point tonight before you leave, that would be wonderful. But it is going to be housed right up front at our school. So, um, it Do you have any questions? What's my next slide? Okay. Thank you. Thank you. >> Okay. Well, thank you everyone participated. Um, are you doing anything else, Tiffany? Were you going to do anything else? Like >> we are. >> Okay. Um let's move on to 3.0. Our presentation on Senate Bill 141, the Education Accountability Act. Turn the time over to our superintendent. >> All right. Well, I want to share with the board. The board's aware that Senate Bill 141 passed last year.

020That's in the accountability bill. Um we have had a number of conversations but the first conversation I think that we really talked about this was at our administrative advance and we really had a conversation about do we wait and see or do we act and get ahead of this thing and the administrative team was like we want to get ahead of this thing. So we divided and conquered and each one of our administrators chose a to lead a committee of staff working on each of these six areas. Um when I typed this up I had us count at 50 but I was still missing one presentation and after that presentation we actually ended up with over 60 staff members um including admin, teachers, classified employees. Um each one of the committees met at least three

021times. They looked at longitudinal data, current practices, regional trends, and they made recommendations for the future. Um and some recommendations of just continuing what we're currently doing that's having success. Um so looking at our K2 attendance committee, this committee was led by Principal May. um want to make sure that we're continuing to offer memorable opportunities for students to help attract them to come to school. Utilize data to inform trends and address needs using attendance committees that are looking at individual students and looking for ways to help them. And then increase transportation for all students. And we've already had a transportation meeting and with um Nate's blessing um we believe that we have a way to provide a start strong bus for Lincoln for next school year. Um third grade proficiency. We want to make sure

022that we are looking at our incess assessments and making sure that we're teaching our core curriculum with fidelity. We want to make sure that we have cooperative planning and professional development for our teachers. And then looking at that vertical and horizontal writing alignment. Believe it or not, writing a child's ability to write has a huge impact on their ability to read. Um eighth grade math proficiency, I'm sorry, the third grade was led by um Armando and 8th grade um Miss Yei led this committee. We want to make sure that we have math alignment pre-K through 12. We want to make sure that we have a response to intervention at all grade levels and professional development targeted towards math instruction, not just general instruction, targeted towards math. Um, ninth grade on track, Mr. Dixon led this

023committee. um looking at the interdisciplinary success teams prioritizing attendance attendance across the board was something if we believe we have strong programs in CO but if we can't get our students to come to school we're not meeting their needs. So attendance is something across the board and then making sure that we have a robust credit recovery plan including looking at summer school um four-year graduation. Um, this committee was led by Mrs. Cinco. Um, want to make sure that we're tasking adults with attendance outreach. Could possibly be a future attendance person or adults within the building. Adult student connections in all of our schools. Again, the attendance conversation came up and offer a variety of programs of interest, which again, I think is a strength of the Cokeill School District. And then five-year completer, this committee

024was led by Mrs. Clapper um sustained GED NCRC option and funding. Those tests are available, but they do cost money. We're currently using grant dollars to support that. This is part of becoming a Pearson testing center at Winterlakes High School. We just have to make sure that we can sustain that funding. Um and then summer completion stipens. Looking at those stipens, they haven't been visited for a while. Maybe it's time to revisit those stipens, mental health and re-engagement, more staffing, and evening funding so that we could offer classes potentially from 5 to 7:00 in the evening to meet student work schedules. So, um, with that, really, what is our next steps? Our committees have been working hard. They've generated some recommendations to the district. We want to next establish what our interimm assessments will be

025for next school year. Currently, the state has adopted three. We're waiting on what the fourth one will be. I think the board's heard me say this before. We made a strategic investment in LL. We purchased a five-year agreement which saved us thousands of dollars, but was not one of the ones that was initially selected. They are going to go back to the state board in February and they're going to try again to be adopted. We all have our fingers crossed that will be there because then that doesn't increase our costs. Our admin team is going to be working over the next two months as we develop our budget and what part is we can put these pieces we can put together as part of our plan. In May, each one of our committees is going

026to come and present to the board our detailed Senate Bill 141 plan going forward. Um, and then obviously we'll have the school board approve our budget, including that plan in June. Any questions about that quick update? A lot of hard work. I really truly um last week Julie and I getting an opportunity to meet with each one of those committee chairs and members of their committee hear the excitement about what is currently working well and the challenges that they need to get over was very exciting. Um and it really did my heart good to hear all the positive things that are happening in our district because there really really are. Any questions for me? >> Thank you. >> Okay, thank you. Um, we'll move on to four We'll move on to 4.0, which is our

027school program and written reports. We'll start with 4.1, which is Wind Lakes High School, which we did just have a great presentation from them. But any questions for for Tiffany? You guys do go on a lot of trips to which is great. That's great. >> Yeah, they have another one. >> They do have another one. >> All right, let's uh any questions? Let's move on. 4.2. Any questions for Tanya Sino, our Winterl Lakes Elementary and curriculum director? Principal and curriculum director. I had one question about the curriculum. When you said the curricul we're working on curriculum adoption for social studies, so are we just doing geography? That's what I was you were saying that was the main thing we need updated or Social sciences are >> it's a lot of things >> over six different

028disciplines and most relevant in the opinion of our high school staff was the need for a revision of the text that we currently have that addresses geography. So in the event we were not able to do a full adoption and that is the state that they really wanted to elevate geography as a priority for them and so and overurricul. >> Okay, any other questions for her? All right, let's move on to Pokeill Junior High School. Any questions for Albert Dixon? Is the junior high showcase not in February? I didn't see it on the calendar. It's normally been in February, but is it >> in March or something or >> Yeah, it's in March. >> Okay. Luckily, I don't have a junior. I still working on a project right now. >> I do. [clears throat] >>

029Where will the Battle of the Books be held? >> Sorry. >> Where will the Battle of the Books be held? that I do not know as well because >> any other questions. Okay, let's move on to 4.4 Kil Senior High School. Any questions for AG? Lots of good things still happening with our um FFA programming. >> Yeah, I just miss Larry texted me this afternoon. I was judging FFA speeches in front of them this morning and three of a >> Can I ask what the rural pathways partner orientation is? You have listed on there a couple. >> Yeah. So, I'm working with um and some other area principles. And um we're really working to firm up our partnerships um with, you know, the local community and community college. And really, it's it's about talking about

030these pathways from high school to community college to university and just being able to support students the best we can and support our community [clears throat] and what our communities need. So, there's several of these kind of orientations going to Pittsburgh in March for a conference as well. >> Thank you. I I feel like you've mentioned that before and I just wasn't sure exactly what that was. Um any any other questions? Okay, let's move on to 4.5 CVE. Any questions for Armando Ruiz? >> Dr. night is coming. >> Dr. Seuss night is coming. Okay, there's no questions. We'll move on to 4.6 Lincoln School of Early Learning. Any questions for any I'm glad you did not invite us to bug day at Mr. Martin's classroom. >> I'm sure it was. Okay, we'll move on to

0314.7. I don't see >> Mr. Mr. Jones had to drive um an activity bus this evening, so he wasn't able to make it. >> Okay. >> But he's with students. >> Okay. And he included a schedule in here of all athletic events. So, >> are we going to be able to have a baseball team? >> My understanding is yes, we are going to have a baseball game. Good. Good. >> I know that there have been several kids that have been practicing in the cafeteria with the rule of two the last couple weeks. Um I've spent a lot of time at the high school. Just saying. Um and yeah, there have been kids down there hitting in the batting cab cages following the rule of two and then next Monday open start pitchers and catchers. So

032just when the rain starts, right? Yeah. All the beautiful weather. You only get two. Rain starts. Yeah. Then you can have more. [laughter] >> Okay, let's move on to 4.8. Our technology supervisor. Does anyone have any questions for uh Sean Wire about his report? Okay, then we'll move on to 4.9. Um, any question for our food service supervisor? Any questions for Marcy Gallagher? Is there special separate money for the farm to CMP? Like you mentioned that you're going to buy some from cocoa produce is that that's like a separate fund of money. >> Okay. >> Isn't that called the farm to school grant? >> It's called farm to now. >> Okay. >> Charleston. Okay. Any questions for for Nate, our transportation supervisor, his report? >> So, are the new radios that you guys are purchasing?

033Are they like walkie-talkies? I mean, what? Okay. >> Trying to picture what they are. Are they like a cell phone? Are they a >> They use cell phone technology, but they are radio. >> Perfect. Just curious. Thank you. >> What's the uh what's the limit there? What's the range of the radio? >> Does it work out? >> All the different towers like can they talk from Roseberg back here? >> Portland. >> That's an upgrade. >> Awesome. >> It's like boost mobile. So the advantage is that if they are in a dead zone where they don't get cell phone service, the radios will work. >> Not necessarily. >> They use the cell phone towers. >> Yeah. >> They were just just wanting to make sure that we're still covered. We're still not okay. >> Luckily, we

034don't drive through a lot of places with Oh, wait. We do. >> Yeah, we do. [laughter] >> You're right. Shelly, >> you can't even drive to Cus Bay without dropping. >> Y >> All right. Um, any question for John Owens, our school resource deputy and his report. No questions, but he has been a busy fellow. Okay. Any questions for Jeff Philly, our assistant superintendent, regarding special programs or maintenance? Yes. maintenance. How come that boiler keeps breaking? [laughter] >> It's honestly just been one strange unconnected thing after another. I mean, there's a lot of pipe there, been leaks, had a pump problem, had an internal problem inside itself. So, yeah, >> it's just getting old. Mhm. >> The issue today is two steam traps malfunction that need to be replaced and three check valves are plugged

035with dirt. Um they're anticipating from dirt that came through when we have the leak. But unfortunately those parts which CR combustion has in their warehouse, their warehouse is in Medford. So the technician came out, looked at everything, made a list. He's going back to Medford. He's going to get the parts, but he's going to come back tomorrow, put everything on, see if that works, and if it does, he'll start the boiler. It's just yet another 24 hours without heat at the high school. But we are we are scheduled to have them out tomorrow morning to fix those things. But I agree with Jeff. It's just been a series of of unrelated kinds of things that just keep happening with our boiler. All right. Um, no further questions. >> Okay. Let's move on to 5.0, our

036fiscal director's report, and turn the time over to Denise. >> Hello. So if you will look at the third page, it will show all of the detail. We have a printing mishap. >> Yeah. >> Um and so the third page will show you the details um of the financials. So at this point right now um projecting that we'll be we will be at one um million31,000 at the end of the school year. just taking into account all of the little emergency things that we have had this year like with the boiler, with the water leak, with just some of those little different things um that we have had um going on. The business office has been extremely busy um for the month of January and now we've had a little bit of a reprieve with

037all the federal reporting that we had to do for employees and um that kind of stuff. So, it's been good. We got everything done on a timely fashion. And um anyone have any questions for me? And I can get we will give you after the meeting. We do have the corrected ones that we can hand you for financial. So you can look it over in its entirety. All right. If there's no questions or we'll move on to 6.0, our superintendent report. I'll turn the time over to you. >> Okay. Thank you. In section six of your packet, we actually have a copy of the latest um population report. I know at the top it says January 30th um 25. It was we cut and pasted and we didn't get that changed over to 26. But

038I assure you this is our latest population report. I know at the January board meeting I gave encouraging news that we were up a few students but by the end of the month we had lost a few students. So right now our latest enrollment number is 11.81 81 puts us 19 students below what um overall average we're averaging 14 students down. Um it is a concern. It's not an emergency yet, but it is definitely a concern with where we set our budget as and we've also had some unexpected surprises also. but hoping that our enrollment will at least stay steady or still hoping for an opportunity for it to go up. As far as um also in front of you, you each will have a copy of our board goals. Um want to make sure

039to remind the board the goals that we worked on this last year and everything the admin team did to meet those goals. Um I think it's important that as board members take a look at those. Um we put an enormous amount of resources and energy to um really work and I think we've made some tremendous gains in all goal areas. The last thing I want to talk about is declining enrollment. Sean, can you put that spreadsheet up for me? part of this spreadsheet I've shared before. So, let me see if I can break this down. Um, so what I what I did with this spreadsheet is I've shared it with the board before, but only included three years. I went back a fourth year to gain some more perspective. And four years ago, you can

040see the trend. We started at 1248 but we ended at 1286. That was a very common trend in Kokill school district that we would start low finish high. It was kind of this ongoing building all year. But if you look at our data over the last three years where we started in October and where we ended at April is almost identical and in this year we're down just a little bit. But when you look at those averages and remember we're that it's called average daily membership. We were at 1266. We increased by nine students to 1275 and then we decreased to 1232. That's 33 students 43 students down. So far this year we are averaging um 1186 which is 46 students down from that. And if we go up a little bit, Sean, if you

041could, um, or scroll down. Thank you. Um, here's what we projected each year. So, on this year here, which was my first year as superintendent, we projected a number of 1340. We never made that number. Obviously, we were substantially less than that. We ended up having to pay that overpayment back. Some of you I know will remember that. And then this year we budgeted on 1240. We were at 1275. We got a little bit money back in our May adjustment. This year we budgeted at 1220. We were at 1232. Even a smaller amount back. Now we're at 1,200 and we're below that at 11.86. [snorts] So there may be a May correction that we may have to pay some of this money back. But if you look at this 43 46 89, you have to

042add in the 14 because we're down. So we and then you look at next year's projection of being down 1130 is what I'm projecting our enrollment for next year. That's 145 students down in three school years. I need you to really try to think about that and get your head around it. That is how quickly our declining enrollment has really hit us in this district in a three-year window down 145 students. We cannot continue to operate at the staffing levels that we currently have being down next year 145 kids over a three-year window. So, I will have detailed information for the board during our executive session, but that that's a real concern and that is really affecting our staffing going forward. Any questions? wondering if um you can be a little more uh have a

043little more positive projections. >> I uh I wish I had a more I wish I had a more positive I will say though, Marcia, after next year looking at our birth rates, so and again that's an important indicator as far as having an idea of how many coming in. We've kind of did this little up down. We were at 78 last year or in 2020 we were at 78. 2021 we dropped to 53. That's why we're expecting such a small kindergarten class next year.
