001seat belt. >> Okay, we're going to start the regular board meeting for uh what is it? April 14th and we'll start the meeting with the pledge of allegiance. >> Flags are over here now. >> Oh no. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay, that brings us to additions, deletions, amendments to the agenda and adoption of the agenda. We do have one deletion. It's the facilities report. >> I move we adopt the agenda with the deletion as presented. >> It's okay. >> Okay. There's motion to adopt the agenda with the deletion of the facilities report by director Albbright and seconded by Director Hangeringer. There's no discussion. All those in favor raise
002your right hand. Motion passes 6. Okay. Brings us to the consent agenda. the special board meeting minutes, the work session meeting minutes, the regular board meeting minutes, and special board meeting minutes of March 10th and February 10th. And then confirming employment. >> We accept the consent agenda as presented. >> Second. >> There's a motion to accept the consent agenda as presented by Director Sweeney and seconded by Director Whittowski. There's no discussion. All those in favor raise your right hand. Motion passes. Reports. Superintendent report. Amy >> have a few areas here. So in relation to school funding and long range planning. Uh while our current revenue projections from the state remain relatively stable, expenditures are projected to increase disproportionately across the board from utilities to staffing to supplies. Additionally, our PERS site accounts are projected to
003be depleted by 2027. In that regard, we're beginning to plan more intentionally for upcoming financial shifts. In anticipation of that change, we're developing a long range personnel strategy focused primarily on natural attrition. The goal is to reduce staffing costs through expected retirements and resignations in order to maintain as much program stability as possible with the goal being maintaining an adequate ending fund balance for next year. This planning work is still in development and we will continue to refine projections and bring updates to the board as assumptions become clearer, but we should all begin to prepare for the budget to be much tighter than it has been over the past handful of years. Um, bargaining update. We've officially began planning for the bargaining process with the classified and licensed unions. Um, we are seeking one board
004member who's interested in participating with the classified discussions. Larry's agreed to serve as the board's representative for those uh the license sessions. So, if you're interested in um participating with classified, let me know. Um calendar and bell schedule work. After initial discussions and feedback, we've made the decision to take additional time with our calendar and bell schedule planning process. As a result, the board will not be presented with alternative calendar options for a vote this evening beyond the traditional calendar. Given the current uh uncertainties related to budget and staffing, this is an area where it's important we move thoughtfully and deliberately. Taking additional time now will position us to take make a more informed and sustainable decision moving forward. The ABC dinner and auction. I'd like to remind the board of the upcoming ABC dinner
005and auction this Saturday, April 18th. This event plays a critical role in supporting programs and opportunities for our students that would not otherwise be possible without the generosity of our community. It's always a meaningful evening and a great way to see the direct impact of community support on our schools. And then finally, uh, state testing and accountability. State testing begins this month. Our staff across our buildings have been working hard to emphasize the importance of attendance, effort, and student engagement during this window so that our results accurately reflect the learning and growth that's taken place throughout the year. As a reminder, Oregon's new accountability framework will begin rolling out next year. The system will place an increased emphasis on key indicators, including early literacy, middle school math, nth grade on track, graduation rates, and student
006attendance. It'll also include more structured expectations for intervention and support in districts identified for improvement. And we'll continue to keep you updated as we get more guidance from OD on that front. But um we had a meeting about it today and uh a positive is we are already internally doing the work that they're asking us to do. So it's not going to be a heavy lift on our district's part. >> Perfect. >> That's all I have for my report. I'll be on that negotiating thing. >> Thank you, Terry. You're welcome. >> Okay, if there's no questions for Amy, that brings us to the discussion part, the schedule of board events. And the next regular board meeting is May 12th, 2026, beginning at 7 in the here in the district boardroom. Teacher Appreciation Week is May
0074th through May 8th. And this says the first meeting of the budget committee is Tuesday, May 19th at here in the boardroom followed by the regular board meeting, but that's can't do that because the board meeting is the 12th. >> Yeah. There. So the budget committee Jen had proposed revisions one more time based on conflicts and the uh news register requirements for notifications. Where is that one? >> Very back one I think or you took it over. >> I have it over. So in the uh the back of your packet, we have what? June, we have April 24th per first uh published first notice of budget committee meeting. May 19th first budget uh committee meeting. What do we have here? Uh that's where the budget message will be presented. And then uh May 26 is
008the second and nominated to June uh 9th for a budget hearing. >> So I'm guessing usually we do have the budget committee meeting right before a school board meeting. Correct. But it sounds like we didn't have time to put the notice in the news register. Yeah. >> So we had to postpone it. >> Yeah. Okay. That's how I don't know that but that's how I >> we we changed it the the second time to be in alignment with the board meetings and then had to adjust it based on there were new uh new regulations that came out about the notices that Jan received and then she came to us. So this is actually the third revision based on those new requirements. >> Um so I'm wondering one of two things. Should we make the meeting
009on the 12th at 6, which would normally be it, or should we change, I mean, would be possible to just change our board meeting to the night of the budget committee so that we don't have two nights. And I'm open to either one. I just asked any question. >> Uh, either one would work on our >> end. Okay. Well, then you have to go twice. You have to come twice then. >> No, that's okay. But my I guess my take is the schoolboard meetings and the whole community knows that on the second Tuesday of every month I don't for one meeting I don't think we should change. >> Well, if they're mad I'm going to send them deer. >> That's fine. My my driveway is gated. >> They change it. >> You just want >>
010they change it. They change the meeting to >> Okay. And then still >> you just come twice. >> And I'm I'm sorry for all the confusion and iterations of this >> both. That's it. the 19th and the 26th. >> I'm sorry. >> Well, and it's only the 26th. If we don't pass it on the 19th, >> but >> there'll be a meeting on the 26th. >> My my um I this is helpful to me these dates are because I think we'll be able to get you more information more in advance than we have >> in the past. Um, and I have at this point more information uh than I've had previously at this point in time to make a budget. So, I'm hopeful that you'll have more information sooner. >> So, May is busy. >>
011May is busy. >> Quite busy. >> Okay, that brings us to the business section. Interd district transfer criteria for 2627 school year. Yeah, you'll see this uh paper that shows the current enrollment and then projected enrollment. Um it what you're seeing as a trend uh is our large senior classes this exiting and small incoming kindergarten classes. The birth rate for our incoming kindergarten classes in the 50s, but we've uh been consistently getting about 40 to register. So, we'll let you know, but um we haven't exceeded the cap that we're putting on transfers and we have a real impetus to welcome anyone that wants to come to Dayton right now. So, we just put 90 slots across the board in every grade level. And if we get more than uh is reasonable for class size, we
012would hire someone after the year starts, which isn't always ideal, but um it is very doable at the same time. So, >> and we want the kids. >> Yes, we do. So D is the ones transferring in >> those >> to say that those 148 in column D, they're transferring into the district. >> Column D is what we currently have the the amount of transfers that make up our current enrollment. >> Okay. And then we have more slots, but we don't have a projected uh people transferring to come in. >> Correct. Okay. So then the F is the difference between the current interd district transfer students we have and the capacity that we would set for next year. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Say that last piece again. >> Column F is what the difference
013is between the 90 total seats that we would set as a board and the amount of interd district transfers that are currently taking up those seats. So for instance, >> that's a lot. >> Yes. We want to bring in a,8 I mean that's more >> 386. >> Well, no, the total seat sees there's the total seats include residents. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. 386 would be the total slots allowable for transfer students. >> That's still >> But we're not we're not hitting that mark. Not even close. So we could just >> So roughly I don't it's been several years ago I asked the question I mean we're 20% of the kids eligible for kindergarten or for school here aren't coming. >> Mhm. >> Have we ever really looked at that with fidelity? Um,
014we've looked at the amount of students who live within the boundaries and are not enrolled. Incoming kinder is a little harder to even know who those kids are >> to find out. >> Um, the trends that we're seeing in Dayton are consistent with the trends across Oregon and the rest of the country in terms of declining birth rates. So that is absolutely impacting our kindergarten enrollment because when we used to have 80 to 100 students registering for kindergarten now have 40 and we only have 50 students of kindergarten age in Dayton boundaries. Um that's obviously due to declining birth rates. What we saw was um students who were uh living inside our boundaries and not um enrolled in Dayton School District. it was a large portion was due to homeschooling and that was from COVID
015on and so we had worked with the Wesdoo students but I think it's going to we're it we're going to need to meet individually one-on-one with all those families to find out um why are why they are choosing to homeschool and maybe demystify some of the work we're doing here and some of the program offerings that we have here Um we are getting a significant amount of transfers from neighboring districts more so than neighboring districts are getting from us. Um so you I mean you'll see here the 148 of our students are currently interd district transfers which is a huge proportion of our current um students. So, we are offering things um that other that that students are finding or families are finding in Dayton that they aren't experiencing or or haven't found in other
016districts. But I think it's absolutely imperative like you're saying to do a even deeper dive. Um >> Yeah. I mean, the fact I don't think >> statewide 20% of kids are not homeschooled. >> Yeah. I think you'd be surprised that >> I I don't think I would >> I'll get those numbers from the WC at least on the region. >> It's I know it's not 20%. It's not anywhere close to that. >> You're saying it's not 20% of kids that are not going to school at all. >> I'm sorry. So yeah, we have roughly 50 kids that we've been training per year that are eligible for to start within our school system. >> Only 40 of them are coming. >> So that's 20% of them are going somewhere else or not going at all. Um,
017>> I know of two moms that when they had to fill out what the child's gender preference for kindergarten said, "I'm sending them somewhere else or I'm homeschooling." Well, one home school, one sending elsewhere. >> And that's a state thing, but you know, it is I mean, >> I don't know what percentage obviously, but I if I know two, then there might be some more out there, so it might be worth >> I mean, I don't know what you would do about I know our demographics are a little bit skewed. Being a little more rural, a little more conservative, that does skew things a little bit, too. >> But, >> and I do think we've had, not to treat it like a business, but we've had a branding problem for a number of years. And
018I don't think um even today we were in a meeting where we were talking about we've tried podcast, we've tried a a a prolific presence on social media, we've tried sending more like parent square information, we've tried community uh town hall type things, focus groups, and we're just finding a finding it hard to land the information in people's laps in a way that they're receiving. and understanding. Um there's still seems to be a lot of miscommunication out there. The other day I got an email um from someone who's very in the know about our district and said that they're hearing chatter that our CTE programs are underperforming and I just it's the it's the opposite. Um, and so I don't know uh the best way to demystify that for families and to I I do
019feel like um in looking at the way other districts market their programs and their values and their philosophy, we do have a bit of a niche that is attractive to the transfers we are getting. I don't know how to get that out there more so that people are receiving it though. I want to try more things. But I'm open to ideas. I mean I I believe we're heading in a positive direction. I still just the you know 20% of our kids choosing another option just it gives me pause. >> And I'm trying to look for the homeschool numbers. >> Man, I don't know where I read it. It was like a nationwide article. I don't think it was a local one and it had the statistics of the percentage of kids going to um private
020schools and it was huge and it was doing this >> and it's an and a lot of um like online schools, charter schools is a big one. So I don't know if we looked at >> how many of the students that aren't enrolled in our district. Uh, I can I can get work with the WC and Molly to to get a scatter plot to show where they are, but a lot of students also opted for online charter schools um after COVID because they preferred that experience. Um but yeah, it is a >> I just I somewhere >> problem to solve >> like 9% sticks in my head that >> that's non-traditional >> and but it was a perfect storm because we had co where the schools are closed and so parents were looking for a
021place for their kids to actually go to school and we didn't open up for so long. I mean, I don't mean just we thought like the public schools just didn't up and so that was the private school opportunity and then obviously the um I think there's a homeschooling um when you see the math scores, the English scores um there's talk about uh what do you call it? Sort of not teaching kids more what to think than how to think. Like there's a lot of articles out there that would make a parent go, "Well, where do I want my kids to go?" And I I do think you're right. There's a messaging um issue, you know, that's kind of part of that. But I think um yeah, I I think how do you reach those? Like
022I I feel like you all the things that you listed would reach kids that are already going to school here. Um but yeah, it's a little bit of a mystery for the kids going elsewhere in public schools and homeschool and stuff. Um the I do think looking at even though we're making cuts early childhood like the preschool being affordable and for Dayton students in our boundaries um being really strategic about how we continue to invest in and design that on this book end of schooling and then on this book end CTE opportunities that are unique to our geography and our population of students and our community is imperative. I think if we don't do either one of those bookends well, we'll continue to lose. This is the first time that we our enrollment projections are
023taking this big of a dip. And um one of the reasons that we haven't been proactively making cuts and just um responding to the enrollment we have is because of the work with the city and the infrastructure that was projected to come in in terms of housing um and business to Dayton. But we're also that hasn't happened at the on the timeline that was projected to happen on. So um I was hopeful that those things would have transpired by this spring. so that we would see that uptick. Um but the infrastructure in Dayton is expanding and with that you can you can predict that we will have an uptick in enrollment. To what extent I don't know and it might be good to have a work session about um who are we targeting and how
024do we get the messaging and information to them? Is it transfers because we're snagging so many? Do we want to stick with that or do we want to look at our homeschool families and specifically target um that group a both and situation? Um I don't know. And we also have started doing exit interviews with our students who are transferring out so that we have a better understanding of why families are choosing to transfer into other districts um when they're leaving. I believe Rock has your hand. Yeah. >> Oh, >> hi. Yeah. So, I know this doesn't have to do with the kindergarten enrollment, but I mean to add on, I've heard recently, too, that people still feel like there's still issues within the middle school. And I know a few people that are transferring students
025out before middle school to like Amity. Um, and then a few still in elementary that are wanting to switch to homeschool because they still don't feel fully supported with their child on like an IEP and all of all those by the teach whether it's with the teacher or not following their um IEPs. Um, so th those are kind of more issues recently that I've heard. And then also um I think we do need a focus. I think Dayton has a huge um homeschool population and so looking into that as well I think would be a is where a lot of our numbers are. >> Veronica, what do you hear about the junior high? What are they saying? What's their issues? Uh I think it's more so on the social aspect, not so much like the
026the classes. It's just the social bullying or >> Yeah. >> Um those issues. So, is there an option for kids that are homeschooled where they they could be homeschooled, but they come to Dayton and take band or choir, whatever. And do we get to still count those kids then in some format? >> Um, no. There's a I want to say they have to be take at least half their classes here and then um Dayton you could charge for courses but we don't we just let them you know take a class out of the class or whatever um because the more involved that we can get them in sports or in CTE classes the we've seen them kind of just slip into being a full-time student in that regard. But um I I will add to
027my notes to to pull information about how many students we have that are also taking coursework at Dayton but not considered uh ADM for us. Well, I I guess where my thought process was going, if we and it sounds like we do know kids in our district that are being homeschooled, >> and if we, you know, tried to set a program >> for homeschooled students and let us help. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You know, and like you say, once they start, maybe we'll pick them up. But if we put a program together for homeschool kids and we then set up an open house just for homeschool kids. I don't know. I'm thinking I'm thinking out loud. >> I think that's really creative. >> See if we can >> uh and Robin has been talking to
028me for the last couple years about um starting an online. It's a slippery slope, so it has to be really thought out because you don't want to lose your own kids to not coming to in-person school. But creating an online program that if students have um medical issues or severe anxiety or a lot of the things that cause students to unenroll and go to an online charter school or a private school that we would have an option in house so we can still count them for ADM, which is very doable to set up and it's very little cost to set up. The problem is not losing your own students to not coming in person. So >> yeah, I think what's most concerning to me is just that we just don't have the kids in our
029district. >> They're just not here. >> Yeah. >> I don't know what to do about that. >> Mhm. >> And I don't like the idea. >> Huh. Well, >> I I've done my job. Not freeing. I feel like I'm doing my part, >> but I don't I don't like the idea of like if we filled all of these 386 additional interd district seats that are in this chart, >> that puts us at like a third of our students are in our district transfers total. >> Yeah, >> that's crazy to me. >> And I don't I have a lot of really mixed feelings about that. But I'd be much more upset about it, I guess, if we had kids in town that weren't going to school year gear. I mean, more anyway, >> we are bringing
030exponentially in more than we're losing. Um, but you're right, just infrastructure-wise and birth rate wise. Yeah. >> So, this probably isn't going to be a problem solver, but we >> we signed an agreement with MAC >> on a development in kind of northwest Lafayette where our Lions kind of split this new development in half roughly and we allowed those students to pick where they wanted to go. >> Let's unallow them. And so like that's where I was going with Darian like I don't want to like I don't want to be a jerk here but um >> specific board meetings where they discuss how to stop losing students to Dayton but I would be happy to engage in conversations with Courtney and do a little rock paper scissor over Lafayette. But I mean, I get like
031your neighbor best friend is going to Mac and you're going to Dayton because that's just where the line happens to go between your houses or something, you know, and that's why we agreed to say, you know, let them pick where they want to go. >> It's just an idea. >> I mean, we're not going to get 300 students out of that development, but >> but we could we don't have to end it. Okay, now we're done. You got to go to Dayton, right? >> We could phase it out over three or four years. So, you know what I mean? It doesn't have to be a >> or could we expand our boundary some I don't know the rules around this and take the whole neighborhood and then >> flag I'm trying to think creatively too
032Terry >> just one quick thing on your homeschool thing >> yes >> the parents homeschool these kids for a reason >> you know and it and I I think it's probably social or they think they're going to get a better education. Um, and then we talk about kids going to online, but what if we set up an online school for homesooled kids >> because those moms really your dad get them out of the house? Yes. I mean, let's be honest. I do think that would be so if you're um >> the way it works um for an online school, the requirements from the Oregon Department of Education is that attendance is counted by two-way communication. So, as long as a student has interacted with the teacher and the teacher has interacted with the student on
033that day, >> then via email or on the phone or in person, whatever, then it counts as being present for the day. A lot of homeschool families struggle with having a a curriculum that they can follow, especially for students as they get older than uh the parent feels comfortable with algebra 2 or whatever. And so, um having the parent be able to instead of they're still homeschooling in that they're at home with their child and are the one guiding the education, but they're taking the courses through our online program. So, we count them right >> as a student. I think we If off the top of my head, >> we don't lose. But a parent would have to want to be homeschooled. I mean, parents aren't going to go that aren't homeschooled parents. They're not
034going to say, "Oh, I want to do that." >> Yeah. >> One or you're not. >> I I we had an online program when I was at MAC. And the hardest part is how many people want to to take it? Because you have to still maintain the integrity of what we believe about school, right? that kids should be in person and kids should be interacting socially. Kids should be experiencing all these other components that aren't just >> the click this, you know, answer to this passage or whatever. And so the real trouble is when students have to do hard things or they're dealing with anxiety, we want to help push them through that without them opting out of in-person school. And so there has to be some guard rails in terms of who do we
035as a board allow into that program. And so I think I do think that would be the most effective and efficient way to build enrollment in Dayton. Um and I think it could capture a significant portion of the homeschool students as well as a portion that have transferred out into other schools. um from Dayton. Uh and then the work would just be us sitting together and saying here's our values, here's our philosophy of education. How do we build those parameters around this program so it doesn't become a slippery slope and now we've got students who are opting out of the programs we know are important for them to. So you said it had to be at least half of their school day. >> No, that's No, that's >> to count as the online thing >>
036to count as ADM online. >> Count as ADM though. I mean like because if you have a parent that wants to to still provide part of their schooling as homeschooling and just use parts of the school that maybe they're not as comfortable with or whatever. Um, I mean then they'd really need to participate in four to five classes as a minimum a day. >> Does sports count at all? That doesn't count at all, I assume? No. Okay. But if you if you put a I even call it the homeschool program and you targeted homeschool kids and you build in the online school >> with the advantage of well your kid can stay at home and take an online school online just like you're doing now and you can guide their program but oh by the
037way they're also a student at Dayton and they can take band and choir and CTE class and this is our homeschool program and that's what we call it. >> Back to your branding thing. Yeah, I'm liking that. >> And and you know, target the homeschoolers, >> right? How would you prevent a student or from I mean, like you were talking about putting guardrails, but I'm trying to picture what a guard rail would look like if you've got a student who sees that and says, I want to do that. And the parent goes, okay, I mean, how do you what what would we do for a guardrail for kids that see that homeschool program and then >> Yeah. attractive focus. >> Well, and and let me let me clarify if you can't be declared through the
038state as a homeschool student and also the district collecting >> money on you can't have both those things simultaneously. So, >> so we got to sell it. >> Yeah. So, you're at home doing school, >> right? >> You know what I mean? But if they're our student, they have to be attending at least this portion of the time for us to be collecting enrollment from them. >> Unless we're an online school, >> correct? Well, the then the school day is calculated entirely differently. >> But we still get if we're an online school, we still get them. >> We still get the full the full cost or the full funding form. Yes. >> But I don't know. I think I think it's right. there's a population out there that we could go after and we put
039a some sort of >> sure >> program together and wrap a bow around it and >> this does kind of feel like a work session though. >> Okay. >> So, what are you asking of us here? Let me just >> I'm just asking to approve the the numbers. Um they they it would be uh really uh strange to hit any of these numbers. So, it is kind of arbitrary in that way, but they are set in a way that shows our total enrollment back to where Dayton was. >> Yeah. We've had over a thousand. >> That's where you came up with it essentially. >> Yes. And just to have a consistent uh if we had GL graduating classes of 90, that would put Dayton at a place where we would be back to the enrollment
040that we had. >> Sounds like we need a motion. >> Yes. >> When you're ready. Um, I move that we approve the interdist transfer criteria for the 2627 school year as presented. >> I second. >> It's been a motion to approve the interd district transfer criteria for 2026 27 school year as presented by director Albbright and seconded by director Pacinger. There's no discussion. Everyone in favor raise your right hand. Motion passes 6. That brings us to the 26 27 calendar options. >> I don't Stephanie, I don't know if this is the right one because the the calendar that we were presenting had school starting the day after Labor Day, not this. >> Let me look for it. >> Well, the one that was in the packet was the one starting at the end of August.
041>> Yeah. No, we we Let me find the one. >> But I didn't see a new one get posted anywhere. >> Oh, for the love. Sorry about that. that I know, right? >> No. >> Um, okay. Well, shoot. >> This is not the one that I thought was in the packet and that's on me, not Stephanie. >> No, I'm looking. >> Um, the what we have to present though was the traditional seven period day calendar. it the building principles are prepared to experiment with double blocking um some CTE classes and other places where uh longer uh courses would be advantageous um but we are not ready to make any other significant changes to the calendar. The calendar that I am looking for is the traditional calendar but with the first day of school starting the
042day after Labor Day. But the teachers would start before Labor Day. >> Yeah. Is this they always do, right? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Do you have it that like could you email it real quick to us? >> That's what I'm looking for. >> So, are we Sean's right? >> Yeah. >> But I don't think this I don't think Let me just test it out. wish that he didn't death of me. >> That was that was that was consensus. You have all of the ones from last time I can look at them. >> Yeah, he's wrong though. >> Where's the packet of ones from last one? When we get in the march, >> one moment. I got nowhere else to be. >> We're trying to get that dungeon board. Do you have the march pack?
043You can >> practice outside today, Larry. Baseball, softball. >> No, practice in March. >> Track. >> There were moments. It's all right. >> Yeah, moments. Key word here. >> Yeah, but track always. >> That's an outdoor sport. >> No, I found it. >> No, when it's raining. We either cancel or go inside. >> Bunch of wimps and softball. >> There's one from I know Molly has one too. >> Seven period. So it's one E. >> No. Here we go. >> Hold on. >> Awesome. Good. >> It's great. >> Right here, Amy. >> Do you have it up? >> No, that's this one. >> Yeah. Hold on. That starts after Labor Day. starts after >> there's Yeah, there's one that it starts the seven period day that starts after Labor Day, though. >> So, it pretty
044much looks like this year's. >> Yes. >> Week at Thanksgiving. >> Yes. >> Couple of weeks at Christmas. >> If you want to vote on the one you remember you saw that you don't see in front of you, and then I can send it to you if we need an amendment. >> Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

We've been down this road before. the school district has on more than one occasion and we always come out on top and we'll make this one work too. And there's going to be hard choices to make, but I think if we just look at it and do what's best for kids and make sure they get the best education they can with
051the amount of money we have, we'll be just fine. And I think it's important that we all carry that message forward. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> So my thoughts on that Yep, I'm good. So, with that, we'll close the board meeting at 6:47. >> Perfect. And under an hour.
