001[Music] remember live guys. So let's get our meeting started 6:00. So let's join [Music] to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Go ahead and take >> here. He's attending the um jam will be over here soon as the sench. >> All right. Um Dory, can you explain the changes we have to the agenda? Sure. We um space the SHs presentation and we do have a student here from leadership to present tonight. They haven't presented since May and it just kind of fell off my radar. We have on autopilot the last couple months. Uh so we do have that as a presentation. We also have a teacher from FCS recently who's applied to be on
002our bond oversight committee and I offered suggested this go ahead and ask her a few questions during the presentation time. Um but that application is up for our action item tonight. We'll just add those two presentations and that's it. So we're looking approval of the consent agenda with those changes. >> Is there a motion to approve? Is there a second? >> Second. >> All right. Any further discussion hearing? None. We'll move to a vote. [Music] >> I motion passes. And then with that, we move right into presentation. So our SHs presentation. Welcome to the max. >> Good evening everyone. My name is I would like to update you on some events happening [Music] series. Our event will be held on Friday, October 25th. Are we having a on September 25th to recognize all sports and

Rotary is hosting an esports tournament on November 8th. This is for students grade six to 12. There is no cost for students to register. The winning prize money will be first. We have 32 spots available for this tournament. This is my report this month. Do you have any questions? I think you did an awesome job. >> You're a great speaker. Good job coming up here. I know. >> Any questions about what's going on in the school? >> There's a lot going on. [Music] >> Yeah. Well, thank you. Yeah. >> All right. So, Lisa can come up and pull up my question. [Music] >>
005Well, welcome. Thank you for applying for the bond oversight committee. I just have two questions. They're the same ones I asked everyone else and so we just kind of want to hear what you have to say. But sometimes we will make decisions that our community disagrees with within the bond oversight committee. How do you see yourself as helping us positively mitigate those potential situations? Um, so I I see myself as taking the information that I gain through our meetings and my understanding of why we're doing what we're doing and sharing that with others. [Music] Recognizing the fact that sometimes you you can only do what you can do within certain parameters and trying to help folks understand that um your guidelines or stipulations and they just have to follow sometimes or just not able to
006maybe meet what the expectation is. And sometimes that just has to be acceptable because there's only Uh, second question. What is your number one reason for applying to join the bond oversight committee? >> Um, I I've been with the district now. This is my year and what happens with this district is very important to me because it it affects myself, it affects fellow staff members, it affects the students and the families. And so I want to be part of of all of that, the community the best I can. >> Well, thank you answering those questions for us. I'm so thrilled we got somebody to represent the staff. >> Yes, it's very much needed. So, I'm excited for that. >> All right, that's it. Jen, do we have any public input? >> Okay. Admin reports. Adam,
007you're up first. [Music] It's hard to follow. You can tell that students are a fold of paper. >> So, I just want to give you some, you know, obviously school just started. So, just some quick updates. Um, you know, we we welcome four new staff to um high school this year, and that's the largest amount of staff we've had since I've been there. And so I just want to introduce you to uh Roman that's actually spell A. Um he's our students. He comes to us from school district. He was to in our alternative school there for the last four or five years. So he's been a great addition. He brings some really interesting stuff to our to our school especially with since I work with him success. is going to be leading that workout. So,
008I'm really excited for that. I'masy. He's learning how to beat teacher. He is a recent grad from George Fox University and is did a student teaching at Newber High School. Also was a member of George Fox's football team when I was a student there. Um Taylor now is our new English language arts teacher. She she's new to career, but she um is a career change. So, she is her first year teaching. either teaching at pursuit teaching high school and then Jake Ruber comes to us from Atorias Atoria school district sorry Newport school district he's entering his fifth year of teaching he's he's teaching social studies for us um shared some information about enrollment I know Dory's going to talk more about that later um but just give you an update right now and we haven't
009done our our 10 10 yet September but right Now we have a large freshman population numbers even adjusted a little more since that time we have 62 freshman enrolled at this time. Um 39 10th graders, 45 11th graders and 43 12th graders. So we have a much larger freshman class than we did last year but a smaller senior class. Last year we had a pretty large senior class about six over 60 students. So those kids graduated. Um went back and looked at some historical data. that gives us an enrollment at the high school right now 191. Same date over the last couple years. In 2022, we had 180. Um 2023 we had 195. Last year we peaked at 210 at this time and then down to 191. So although it's a drop from 210 last
010year, it does fit within that range what we've seen over the last four years. Just some normalizing there. Um some changes. Uh these are these these don't happen very often with graduation requirements for the state of Oregon. Um but we have two requirements to graduation. Um and that's a personal finance course and what they call the higher education career and career path skills. Uh.5 semester course. Um the good news is when they announced theirs there was no need to pan because we already did those things. The addition one role was required the other wasn't. We didn't require personal finance. Um we we offered it as a lot of students took it. Um so we have actually a lot of seniors who don't need to take it this year because they don't want to take it.
011Um so that'll be offered in the second semester. And then the higher education career and career path skills falls under our senior focus senior project class. Um the needs and standards of that. So no need to change anything other than say to those seniors you have to get personalized which is a good thing. It was funny because I remember this when we were in high school was required for me back in the day. Um I was going to give a testing data update but I went through looked the data that we have and a lot of data we collected through our stars. two of the teachers that was responsible for that testing are no longer with the district and I was working with the teacher who's doing it this year and we're having a hard
012time kind of muddling through it and I did feel confident I'd rather give you good data that's accurate than bad data. So I'd like to have the opportunity to come back and share some more detailed information with that. A lot of our testing data at the high school is is has come a little bit of an asterisk with it because both the state testing that is required to participate in and start there we do them if they're not a graduation requirement. So although the state requires them to take they don't have to pass it does not it's not required for the diploma. So we find kids are high school kids are savvy and as much as we putting with them to take it seriously there's a lot of to get through it. So um we're
013looking at some data that's actually a little more than I was talking about actual earning because that's that's what our high school kids are working towards. So, I'm putting together some data about how we're doing in our students in past. Um, and our fall our fall sports, Lana, um, who is a fantastic kid. She she's not here today. I can tell you something about how I saved her life. Um, but, uh, she gave a great update on all sports. I just want to share some additional stuff. Obviously, you know, last week was the week for the football team's live. We have we don't have a lot of kids out football and we've been playing with some injuries early on. So unfortunately um at halftime last Friday we had to kind of throw the towel on
014because we frankly didn't have enough players. Um but we're talking by week could not have come at a better time. So we do have 17 athletes that are for this game. We play n football level. So that gives us some spare handle spare athletes there. Um, so 17 playing football, but right now the because the season hasn't started for soccer, the OSA roster isn't quite as good, but we have about five or six sharing athletes participating in our soccer with all to complete that team. Volleyball just finished the tournament this last weekend and then volleyball is going strong. 22 athletes, students participating in volleyball and our cross team like she said who are out today at a meet in this correct we have eight athletes participating in that um and they're all said there's potential
015for some safe representation of the time and then our third team is gang busters if you're at couple of games just sed out there. We have a very youth program in this community. We always feed our our high school program. So, and they're not in a competitive season for sure. Competitive season is in the winter. So, I say that's why they're taking their home to Las Vegas in February. So, anyway, that's what I've got. Any questions? I was just curious what the hold up to get kids to golf or football is. Over the last couple years, >> yeah, we had we had a large group of kids participating last year. They graduated, a lot of seniors. We don't have we didn't have a lot of juniors playing last year and we don't have a lot
016of seniors playing and I think we only have a handful of freshmen playing. They kind of expected that. Um I I don't have I mean Mr. Coach Swinard is I mean kids love him. Um, so I good culture in a place. And I also wonder too, we were talking about this a little bit about I know in conversations I've had with my with friends I have had younger kids. Um, concerns, safety concerns. >> Um, there's kind of a bit of a change on on people's perceptions of football as particularly concussion data has become more and more >> um, prevalent. So there's I think that's probably into it as well. It'll be interesting to see um how youth program it theater programs are key too. >> So like that's why our cheer program is so strong.
017You saw the little side on the field. You're starting to cheer at three years old. >> Um start football three years old. Um, but I think that's a challenge. >> Fair enough. >> Any other questions? Restart. >> All right, Adam. [Music] Good evening everybody. I apologize for the weather started again. Yeah. So, just kind of normal setup for this page. Talk a little bit about inservice this week. In service had a great feel. We um I had a couple of minor things that we brought that were new to the table, but we didn't really reinvent the wheel. We didn't need to. We just built off the things we've done the last two years. So um this other than some roll out our new math curriculum adoption and talk about our behavior management and app power
018school. Uh it was really smooth in service weeks. We had a lot of time for teachers to prepare. Um we did year two of the back to school night in service week where it was more of a meet the teacher supply drop off. Um, I pulled the staff the last two years to see kind of because there's always different opinions on doing it during school or before and we're about 80% of folks going to do it during that service week. It's hard um on a teacher to get their room ready that quick in the middle of an inservice week. Um, but it's also really nice if you start to make those connections before your students walk in the door. So, I thought that went really well. Had really strong participation. Seventh, eighth grade, not as
019much. Sixth grade. They are also kind of new to middle school games. So, uh, from there, I talked a little bit about first week of school. Um, it went very smoothly. I think Pat mentioned the C word with cell phones. No, no issues there. No major questions, no nothing. It's been crickets on my throat, which has been fantastic. We're actually talking about that today. Um, hop right there into academics. We uh just um tomorrow we'll be completing our fall assessments for STAR. Um so that kind of week two week three is a lot of your baseline data testing periods. Um a lot of the first two weeks is just relationship connecting with your kids getting your routines procedures down which key. So really this week is the first time we start trying to really crack
020any curriculum once assessments wrapped up. Um I a little late so I was at the football uh jam out on the field talking there about sports. Um football in particular is a weird one. Just going off you guys said it is massively down participation like countrywide especially in our region. My son goes to Dunway Middle School. They couldn't Dunway 6A high school. They couldn't feel the football team but they combined with Pat to to make one team. Most of our league is now playing nineman football because they can't see we don't we haven't had two teams in 10 years like when I was coaching we played um but we now are seeing in fact we were just uh playing AMD who couldn't field the team or Perry who couldn't feel the team and they combined
021so our jamboree game I was just at one end of the field was us playing Gaston couldn't feel the team yeah strange so we got 24 kids out which I thought we were going to have 12. So that's fantastic. Um this process was surrounding Skyl got football back off the ground in our community youth program in the middle school youth program. Volleyball is the bigger so volleyball we gosh there's 30 plus girls out in the gym. We're running out of practice space, but I was in there the other day. It's going like game busters strong program and cross country as well. I think I have five athletes, but don't quote me on that one. They got the first tomorrow and so yeah, sports kicked off really well. There was just a good injury on the
022field. That's why I was a little late. He's going to be okay injury, but he's with his parents. He's going to be okay. So you guys hear that later. That's why I was like, but I talked a little bit about staff highlights. Just to highlight some of our new staff, we to our we did a good job hiring this year. Um I the hiring pool was much stronger this year than I've seen since I've been an administrator. Unfortunately, a lot of districts had cut positions and that made hiring much. our we brought in three new teachers at fourth and fifth grade at fourth to fifth uh halftime music teacher and we added science position. Those are certified positions. Each one of those teachers are doing a fantastic job classroom today. Um we're very very very
023blessed. We also had a couple of classified hires on a ton this year, but a couple that brought in special department coming in as a one that can be a challenging job, but they're doing fantastic as well. Really connected with the kids right away. Taylor in particular that I saw today has spent a lot of day just awesome. So, it's been knock on wood a fantastic kickoff to the very first staff members talked a little bit there about the upcoming items. Uh PTO meetings are third Thursday, so it's tomorrow night. It's always fun since the night after this uh meeting. Um Halloween's going to be this year. I know we always have our our traditional Halloween parade on Halloween, but we have confession this year. It was much Tuesday and the conferences are Wednesday, Thursday.
024So, um, also brought in a star report from last year just, uh, so you can check that out a little bit. Pull mine out because I can't read that anymore. Um, on the left, yeah, I'm reading the map. The comparison here is just fall to spring. Um, which is, you know, pretty pretty standard. What you're looking at here is the change for the number of kids that were on grade level in the fall to are now aren't on grade level in the spring. So they've moved themselves into an ong grade level or above grade level category. The urgent intervention is the bottom 10% nationally. So the left side is what they came into us as. The right side is have we reduced the number of kids within that kind of time frame. And that's really
025commonly used in most CSS programs really. Are you moving more kids into your higher categories? You're moving kids away from your lowest categories. It's kind of keep system. Um copy off the first grade is they do two different tests. They start with early learning literacy. They switch over to reading halfway through the year. That's common on all these assessments. Um so you can kind of see there pretty standard numbers as far as what we typically move. It's really hard for us to judge this mobility rate, right? That's a what a quarter of your kids are new all year, every single year. How do I know if I'm moving the needle or not? But I'll show you on the next page of a break above that. But what you look in there is on the left,
026are we are we shrinking our urgent population and then are we increasing our onre population? And then what'll happen is go in the summer. Our summer job I did this years ago, I mean 10 plus years ago, so could be change, but our silver drops about three times that of the average startup district because what we also can do, these are achievement numbers. We measure growth numbers as well that cohorts kids to like score kids all over the country. And so you can see are they growing more. Are they dropping more? We grow more than your average school. We drop much much much more than your average school over summer um with our our new clients we serve. So you can kind of see each uh reading on the left, map on the right. Generally
027your tendencies you're going to notice is reading is growing at faster rate than math. Also we have a core reading program we adopted that we paid a lot of money for that's working. Um math we just now adopted. So it could be better. It's okay. It could be better. You'll see here in a month when the state test uh report comes out. It's going to mirror this type of movement. Um, what again this is achievement. What I can't show you right there is growth. Growth is what we actually care mostly about because I don't, you know, let's say, you know, Ruby comes into class in the fall and she is very young. She's deep. I might have talked the heck out of Ruby and moved her out of red. But either way, when she took
028that state test, she's lovely. Didn't look like it did anything. But what we can see in terms of some of these assessments is compared to her life peers, we group her 80% better than everyone like her starlet that state test. So as we go through this course here, we'll we'll compare achievement at this and then we'll go satisf is a nice report that tell that tells a partial story. Here's what it is. This is one group of kids over three years. So the bottom there on the top section, the bottom bar is second grade. You see that? That group of kids is second graders when they came to us in the fall. That's what they look like. In third graders, that's what they look like. As fourth graders, that's what they look like. What we're
029looking to do is shrink our red population, grow our green population, right? So you can kind of see through that one cohort of kids how that far has moved. Now, here's the the big caveat here. a new kid that's come in has affected that age over three years, half of those kids are different because we have a mobility rate of 20ome%. So you can kind of see the number of students on the far right, 34 to 47 to whatever that is 58. Um you can see the number of students is changing, but you can also we're looking for tendencies as best we can give the population. Next box down is the exact same thing, but it's the next grade up. So that was them as third and then as fourth and then as fifth graders.
030Idea here is over the course of time we will get more and more kids on grade level less and less kids. In general I can't tell you specifics because we don't have a program to measure it. The longer kids with us the better. Our problem and the thing we're constantly chasing is they're not with us consistently. Friday when we get it when we keep it we can deal with but keep it out of our control sometimes. So um I think that's about it for happy to answer any questions. >> What is the average class size for right now? >> K5 kindergarten group is really small and that's 27 something I'm told are all really really small. Um uh the rest of the grades I would say we're sitting anywhere between 18 to 24 kids in
031the classroom. Kindergarters have all 13 part of their day in specializ. Um, so yeah, I would say K5 total, you probably 17 18. >> Um, and then any word on how the math curriculum is coming? I know it's very new, but very early on. >> Um, it's going well for 345 because it's new. It's away from something about 12 years. So the online part as well because what we were using before the paper and pencil curriculum they're on day two of it. So um I can tell you the fourth and fifth grade teachers love it. Third grade teachers like it but a little more trepidation because they were used to um uh the K2 is a a readoption of what we were already using. So there's some new features. So some of the stuff we
032did in service this week was exploring the new features. They uh they use a teaching model that basically is really heavy on the discourse a lot of talking. He's got to talk about math model math explore and then they get taught the specifics but it's a lot different than when we were all kids where it's like hey here's this algorithm do it 200 times. Now it's like here's five ways kind of figure out what works best for you. So I would say the the keeper here is going to be the transition from second to third. How we break that gap used to be fifth to six. You got six grade old school style that K5 is conceptual creating the gap. So um so far we have a webinar two Fridays from now for K2. Um
033I did a P session for both groups. I need to do another P session for 35 with the company. So I expect first semester to be bumpy and refine and I guess expect second semester especially with a lot of teachers in the group to be really short. It's it's a stronger tool um to meet what they're going to be asked to do that was just building their skill set. Do you have any data? Um like the reading that chart was like the second one too follow along with the math. >> Um yeah math on the right. >> Oh bottom half. >> Yeah. Yeah. I can print those. I just didn't have the top and pastit. So at one point you were talking about putting together a group of kids that aren't as mobile. So it
034you just shared in this talk year after year after year, maybe not the entire time, but just you could see the data in comparison to the really mobile kids. Have you had the opportunity to do that? >> Uh we started it on that project. Kale picked it up, got it going. He was doing it by hand. He was literally going wrote the report from the fall of the spring. fall and spring because there not a platform that would do it for us. When he uh when he moved on to a different position, Lane picked that up and she and I met a little bit spring where she started running some of those at the individual level. So, we had the start of it for one for one or two cohorts of kids. So, I think
035it was uh I think it was like first, second, third. this year's current third or this year's current fourth. Um, but it's at the individual student level. We don't have here where I can just show you, right? Everybody, right? But but yeah, >> you'll get there. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're getting there. It's just really >> time. But yeah. Yeah, we're we're getting there. >> Yeah. Yeah. I can tell you in general when kids are here, they do well. we move a lot more kids are leaving. >> And the other component too that we can't factor into that are the students that are maybe out for eight days and come back. So they don't have great attendance, but they're still with us. And the rule that we put in place to be part of that
036cohort group was if you were a 10day drop, you were out of the cohort. >> If you moved in, you were not added to the cohort. So we manually do that, but it doesn't really factor in what we would first idea what would be ideal is if we also have the percentage rate for those first graders, second graders, third graders as they move through the their attendance rate, >> their attendance. Yeah. >> So then we can see what what does their attendance look like compared to how they're doing. >> But um my suggestion, we do have a board work session coming up in October and then a chance to really talk about the one of the topics we can do is just more information on student data >> because then we would we would have
037more and I would have some state testing data. I believe it would be released by then. So just a suggestion. >> Yeah. And I had one more question for you and you may or may not have an answer to this, but how do we mitigate that summer backslide that you were talking about? Like >> excessive, but how do we I mean topic >> we make all this growth and then we backslide. So in in the dream world which I can this current summer we would track kids who participated in their summer programs we're see it's all the national research is night and day I mean night and day kids don't go to school for three months and you know who knows what's happen so um really we have summer programs those programs be literacy focused
038literacy is the big key you have to keep reading you got to keep structural instruction math will come alongside it. They say if you get the literacy ideally both but we had a summer program this summer we qualified the state uses a lovely formula that I'm not a huge fan of. So it's a focal point every year before we didn't qualify. Year before that we didn't. So when we hit summer programs we may we got to keep kids engaged in something. Some people in Mcville and Dallas tried sending books home spend a lot of money buying books getting on the kids hands that much effect because we're just not control you can't control what you can't control. So in my my opinion some of the programs make a difference when we can be funded to
039do from what I told state level it's going but yeah that's my >> do we ever um ever get any kind of trusting data I guess as far as like why kids leave the district I mean some if if your parents move that's one thing that's kind of but like are issues that are making them leave. >> Um I I can only tell you the tendencies we've noticed a lot of district school been um they have a pretty high population of unstable housing kids who might might just live on. Um we do have so complex which is great but also isn't meant to be a forever home. So, and I'll be honest, the 20 years I've been here, it's pretty much almost a high rate, but I couldn't tell you. >> A question too. Um,
040you mentioned rolling out the behavior extension of the school management system. Is that is that a new program or is that something you've been practicing already? >> This is the first question. >> The behavior management extension of your school. >> Oh, yeah. We switched the way we track and uh so we we had a multitude of programs that a lot of schools use. The K12 was using class pretty heavy 345 or a little bit more on the management system and then we kept track of all the referrals on PBX rewards system with our second powers. We got the add-on that goes with power school. It has the same feed. It has the little avatars and the points and stuff that class. It has the referral tracking the PBX rewards have um and it has a
041lot more services. So the the new thing there is how do we track how do we communicate? How do we use the tool? Can we all use the same tool so a parent doesn't go wait a minute I got these same thing for each thing. Um so yeah, a lot of a lot of it's more of a logistical um the referral laws today all our ESP violations those policy I can now track it within there before. So now it's a behavior I can go and say just cleaner >> and it'll be lot easier to run data. So now I can run a report and say how many ESP violations one grade what time of day are we seeing the pattern anywhere statistical community >> is that something that's been tracked through dojo and through >>
042not through dojo well dojo is much more on the classroom level yeah we can track where pretty well as the gym we keep seeing referrals out of the indoor recess dates for what we couldn't get much deeper into that >> with with the new tool we're all using. Yeah. Substitutes realize that paper. [Music] >> That's okay. >> Thanks for coming. >> Yeah. you next week spent all day on the other end. All right. Next up, [Music] I was mentioned earlier about uh the personal electronic devices and Ruby and I met and we had our policy meeting, the first of many I'm sure that we're going to have this year. Um points the policy that is um in your packet tonight. [Music] Um we followed uh requirements from the state to make sure the policy um
043met those and and OSDA of course gave us a great template to go by. Um the definition is in there agreements the use clarifies how they're going to be um uh stored during the day and um we went with the language that already fit what our schools were doing. So, um, what is in place right now is that students are allowed to keep their cell phone with them as long as they do not have it out. So, we are not taking it from them. We're not having the high school be responsible or FCS be responsible for storing the cell phones. They do have the option when they walk into a classroom to put it in um a pocket that's like the calculator pockets. And so, if they feel like I'm going to be distracted, I'm
044just going to do this right now. And several, you know, students decide to do that. And then if they have it out then it becomes a disciplinary action and then that's when the office comes in. Um the actions are in the policy of uh they plan on a three-step process and then there are the exceptions in policy medical providers order student ID or 504 and excludes the time when the students are not on school grounds and and we talked about this about if they're on a field trip if they're under the instruction um of a school employee then they shouldn't have their cell phones out was the parameters that we put in Ruby or is there anything you want to add to this? >> Okay, we went through it a lot. Okay. Um, enrollment's already
045been talked a little bit about tonight. I made a note. I can do um a class size report for next month so that you can see class sizes. Um so we're going to see the difference here in our kindergarten class and that is the large drop that we have this year in our K5 uh down 22 students uh 24 of which are kinders and then we also just noted the number that has and I have invited our shop leaders to come and present I believe it'll be November probably when they will come and present their data then um middle school. See the numbers there. Um, down five in a comparison of September to September. And then our high school. Now, the number I have is different because we've had some students enroll. So, this is
046still butterfluent until we get to October. So, in October, I can do um a class size report. Let's just enrollment. So, you can see that. So, this after the drop or before? >> No, this is before. This was last Friday. So, So, we've gained some um but again it's a that smaller class coming in and exiting a class, >> but overall we're down >> we are down significantly and Karen and I have talked about that. Um we're down probably about 50 students right now. So, we're going to be monitoring that this school year and seeing how we do. by our long range facility plan, we were anticipated to do a slow decline, right? >> Definitely not a growth, but when it comes to our state school fund, definitely our enrollment is is a major factor.
047Um that is next year. So, we need to keep a close eye on this as we go through this year. Uh could you potentially get some data from surrounding schools too as they get their 10day drop and just kind of compare percentages like we're not the only one losing this percentage but so is everyone else or maybe they're not. I don't know. It would be interesting to see our surrounding neighborhood. >> Is it a birth thing or is it everybody moving their district? >> Right. Right. And I I've heard um I actually have a state a regional superintendent meeting tomorrow and I think another one's going to come up. Um I know that Dallas school district had knocked the drop of enrollment to close the school. >> Um and um high schools across the state
048have just been steadily dropping in enrollment, but I can find that out from just our our region to say hey where are we at >> in those class in the um class groups going through. Can we also see um vary enrollment for shop? Because I'm just curious to see with the cap rule if >> and then um do you know if our long range facility plan we had that in mind like the shop that was really >> Yeah. Um but I think that happened before. >> Yes. Mhm. Now, there is a percentage of SHA's enrollment that of that that we keep >> because we are the sponsoring district. Um and certainly in another board meeting um Karen can show and I think there's you you'll see some of the numbers of the checks that go
049to SHA of the amount but it would be interesting kind of a breakdown of that of what the district has and then you know it covers some of the costs of of some of the time that we have for managing charter questions about it too. So I've got class size report enrollment like there was one other is one other thing to report on next month. Oh, and then just [Music] got it. >> And if uh if Shopa is seeing uptick in in people, why I guess is why are we >> well we ant >> what makes somebody go to shop versus public? >> We anticipated more growth because we removed that cap. So, we didn't know how quickly they would grow though. >> They're up to about 380, I think. >> And what were they
050last year? Free. >> Oh, I think I think it was under three. They're cap, right? >> Oh, so almost 100 kids. >> No, they had >> they were they were over. >> Yeah. >> I thought they were >> It was But they were 15. >> We don't have Yeah. And but the thing is is like when it comes to say school funding enrollment there's enrollment but then it also depends on ADM. So if you enroll a student you say oh yeah I got a kid here but if that student only attends like two days a week or whatever >> then we only count their partial. >> So yeah so even kids maybe our two >> I get. So that's that's kind of the thing we have to remember when we're looking at Charlotte's numbers and
051stuff. And that's what they said. They're like, "But I've got 350 kids." >> But some of those kids only take a couple classes >> and maybe one kid comes in for five days and leaves and then another kid comes in and stays, you know. So it just >> Yeah. Everything else is totally the ESD um families who home school or register with ESD and then every I'm surprised I don't have it already because every fall we have the count of how many are homeschooled. It's been around I want to say 70 the last you know two or three years. So >> I will find out. [Music] >> We had to present our enrollment and demographic breakdown. >> All right. Uh bond update. So RNC held a mandatory meeting for architect engineer uh companies that wanted
052to complete the proposal and submit it. Technical proposals are due the 24th. If necessary, they will conduct the interviews and then they will award the contract. Uh this room is packed. I was really really surprised at the number of companies that showed up and Sean and I took them on a tour. Um we went into the high school science room. We talked about the entry of the high school. We went up to the old gym. We showed them, you know, the choir room, game room, and then um we even went back into the storage and old locker room. So, we we took them all through that and they were taking pictures and asking great questions and um so it was a good tour. Good good group. It'll be interesting to see how many companies um
053apply to the RA. Uh and then the necessary documents for the awesome grant have been submitted and I believe we have received those funds. Did you say you had the awesome um grants and items? >> Yes, we got the sub grant awardation. >> So moving forward with that and also I will say that our bond website has been updated. Linda has been continuing to update that. Um, so if anyone wants more information, go to our website and then um the things you're going to see on 2025. All right, before we get to questions under comments, um, I provided a handout and I meant to have it as a tab so that I could show anybody online and those in the room. So if you give me two seconds here, I'm going to find it. um
054that you have an update on Barbara Barber's career test center also while she's doing that Emily and I met with the RNC project manager people and we went over like their the budget process and you know how they get invoices and getting paid they seem very like dialed in And hopefully it will not. >> All right. And our update on Barbara Roberts in here. So, as many of you know, we have been working on this project since 2021, and it felt like we had stalled since about uh February 23. I testified three different times to Ways and Means requesting funds from the state. We had not received any funds. Aisha Stone, the core, sat down and she's like, "What do you need?" And we brainstormed. I said I don't have that that document that booklet
055to say this is the mission and vision of the Barbara Roberts project. We also did not have um secured commitments from the regional districts and she's like okay I'm on it. So we brought together this core team. We have met twice. We went to a dry erase board and literally just put everything on the dry erase board of these are the gaps that we have. I said the biggest gap and we continue to hear from people is that this is this is still perceived as a shared school district project and not a regional rural tech. Abasha has scheduled that she's already held one meeting with the superintendent and I will say I had a very nice phone call um with the superintendent Perry Gale who just said Dor you've been carrying this and need to
056sit in and help you and they all want this to be successful. We are getting them on board. another meeting is scheduled with the idea and this is where I want to lead in this report in this update is that if we move to an executive council with one or two board members from each of the regional districts so that we have it as that is the executive council and not just our sharing team what I'm going to need from uh the board down the road is possibly to go to those boards and present and start to recruit that once we get this a little bit more grounded and that's going to be in a couple more months. Um, but you can see here my conversation with Aashawa. I we had to strategically prepare for
057the legislative session. I feel like we just been spinning our wheels as Samantha has said in in in previous meetings. We needed to be that that noisy person. >> The squeaky wheel. Thank you. We needed to be the squeaky wheel and we were not meeting with the right people. So, we're really trying to figure out who are the movers and shakers, who's on ways and means, who do we need to set meetings with and get our voice heard at the capital in the legislative session. If I could figure out a way to get to the governor's office, I would. CTE in Oregon is one of the lowest funded Oregon CTAs. Oregon CTE is one of the lowest funded in the nation. It is one of the most expensive things we do and yet it is
058the biggest need we have. We are not rightfully preparing our students to enter into living wage jobs in the industries that need them. So this is where we're headed. Move away from this perception that it is only a shared school district project for a regional CEK. I've had multiple meetings where people are like where are the other superintendents? Why are you the only one? we are bringing them in and saying it's time now. This is more than a letter of commitment. We need you at these meetings and we need you meeting the people. Uh create the mission and vision statement, move to an executive council with key representatives. So then my update and this is just in in the last couple weeks. We've had one meeting with regional superintendents. The second one is next Wednesday.
059Um, we have a draft version of a vision statement. This is what we want from this program. Again, this is draft and um I would see this being drafted until we form an executive council with the charter and move forward. Uh, preparing for the 26th legislative session meeting with Representative Elmer Sharp and Senator Star. We are trying to get that scheduled in November, December, and I would like for two board members to attend that meeting. uh meeting with I'm meeting with commission uh commissioner Johnson next week um and uh discuss the status of the project. I've also scheduled a meeting with Sheridan Fire District, two of their key leaders to discuss EMT training for students so we can get that going. And um I received an email from Jeremy uh the principal of Mamaya and
060they scheduled a meeting with us to talk about in partnership of firefighting EMT training so that we can get that started and created for a soft start. I I would be interested in combining that talk with romant about their current CT programs as well and we would be able to work and already show an agreement that's functioning with students >> because they have that whole shop program that's thriving. >> Yes, definitely. And I was excited to hear from them. It's like, hey, do you want to partner? I'm like, absolutely. >> Yeah, >> we want to jump on that. >> Been a big hurdle for us. So, that's really exciting. So, I am as I'm going through this in just the last couple weeks thinking of where are key um times of uh having the board
061attend these meetings. Um and I'm going to need to know just availability. I believe it's on your other handout for the committees. I don't have the committees in my head. I think it's Samantha and Jeremy for Barbara Roberts. >> Oh, three. Okay. And case is not available. and a Ruby also. And so, um, as I start to work on this over the next couple of months, and really it's a shop, which is great, and I would like to have her come in and present as well. But, um, we will be bringing back more people, but before it was with the architect and project manager, and I just felt like we just weren't getting anywhere. So, um, I in conversations with people when we're either requesting funds and and by the way, we do have a
062potential donation on the way for Barbara Roberts. So, I'm excited about that. Um, for our newer board members, I did want to take a minute to explain this team. Um, Aisha Stone works for SECOR. That is strategic economic development corporation. She is the person for Daniel County. and you hear her name a lot. She knows what she's doing and it was just a load off my plate that she goes, "Dory, I got this. We're going to get this done." Craig Brocket is taking our future ready grant and is on limited contract that will expire in June. The future ready grant is 500,000 just for manufacturing. But we felt like he was key because he's done so much. He has met with other CTE programs. He's been maneuvered to visit Tiger Manufacturing. Um he has just
063been all over and he has come up with a scope and sequence not for projectbased but for actual standardsbased manufacturing and moving forward and we have those documents he's been working on and I would like to he will come back and present to the board as well. Um and we're getting ready to get some equipment going on that Elaine B district communication. So, she's doing the Barbara Roberts um website, keeping that going. She's updated all of our contacts to make sure we're organized with that and who we're going to be reaching out to. Ela Navaro um very limited hours. There are grant writers and um what I'm learning from Elaine is that until we have a significant chunk of funding in for construction, other foundations, other nonprofits will not jump in. They will not be
064first. The goal is if we can go to the state legislature and get $10 million, we can fill that gap hopefully with other funds that we get to the 14 million for phase one. And then Jim Severson, I know Jim from my doctorate program at George Fox. I was super excited to hear that he was hired by the ESD. I've met with him a couple of times. Um he's transitioning into the pro um being director of secondary programs and CTE. We need the support of the ESD for this project. That's been the other missing component. So, I plan to schedule another meeting um with Dr. Mo, the superintendent of the ESD. They went to the state legislature last year and they did a really big ask and it got whittleled down to a small amount
065to go to ESDs to act as a type of a hub being that they would prepare to go for a bigger ask. and it just felt like this was one more setback. So, you can't hear my frustration. This has been four years of feeling like we just don't have enough traction and we need to do something different. So, um this is the direction that um we're heading at this point and it won't be long and we will have the the wording for each of our pathways. We'll have the full handout, you know, links right with all those graphics. The website has been updated. We're working on preparing the Sheridan Education Foundation to receive um donation amounts because that is our nonprofit. So, more updates will be coming and I would also suggest this will be
066a topic for a board work session so that we can dive deep into this. But I anticipate in the coming months going to um one or two of you at a time going to board their board meetings and presenting and encouraging participation. >> I know. >> Okay. I figured you would be needed to happen. It's needed to happen. It needed to happen two years ago. And um this is um I'm an instructional leader and I loved hearing how Adam was talking and passionate about the data and the students and I love walking in classrooms today. This is a completely different project that is not exactly in my strength and we really need to get this pushed forward. We're storing so many items. We're storing a fire tower and we have a gap that we need
067to get the funding so we can get the fire tower installed and show who we are moving towards getting this fire tower. >> It's down on the property. >> Oh, it's able to be stored on the property. We have a gap of about 400,000 to get it installed because of all the site work, water, drainage, everything that we would need to do. >> The site looks really nice and it's Yes. And it's very user friendly on the website. So like the financials are all broken down. >> See where the money. >> So that's been a question I've got lately people in the community is what's going on over there? Where did the money go that you got? >> Right. And it's hard to show all the work that goes into getting a full set of
068construction plans, >> right? >> And I had no idea of all the testing, all the small contracts, all those meetings, the full set of construction plans, >> the drilling we had to do, all the stuff. >> And we're still trying to donated the search charge rock because if we got that in that needs to sit and settle before we can build get that building going >> the the search truck we tried to get a donation from Nike River and we um did we went to another in there so we sent a whole proposal um it's really difficult to find a real person corporate level Craig was actually going to try even talked Naro talked to her neighbor who used to work for Knife River. We have one parent that I'm aware of that works for
069Knife River and we are open for any suggestions of how to talk to my river about a donation search. That application was submitted over a year ago and we heard nothing from them. Not even acknowledge receipt of an application for a donation. >> Okay. Okay. And that is my report for tonight. Questions or comments? >> Question. How long we have to work because she's doing phenomenal work. We have a couple of smaller grants that we she's she's up to 15 hours a week and it just kind of es and flows of what is needed that week. Um graphic organizers, the website, she is so fast and even things with her board. I meet with her weekly for about an hour. Um, but yes, Karen and I are in agreement that we will we will figure
070out a way to keep her right now. >> But we had a Ford family foundation grant that was wide open of whatever we needed it for. It was 25,000 and we're just chipping away at that for now. We did write in a little bit of the manufacturing grant of communications. So there's just different pieces like oh let's just put a little bit here. Let's run a little bit here so we can just keep it going. >> Is she doing the barber arts website too? >> Yes, >> she's doing all the websites. She does her Facebook page for Sheran School District. Yeah. Which has been phenomenal. >> Uh she's uh introducing all our new staff members on social media which is great. Uh she is wanting pictures of our students and um of course we make
071sure that they're cleared for publicity but that was one of the things we talked about yesterday is how to get more pictures out there of our students. Um, yes, definitely a great asset. We plan to figure out just through different brands we're going just phenomenal what it was. I will I will pass that on to her. Any other comments? Uh, this is cool. I like this. It's really easy to follow. [Music] >> Yes, it dawned on me that things were moving and was like, "Oh, we just really need to update the board because we are moving along and we're need more help." So uh but it is a different if you talk to anybody in the public this is a regional project and in fact we are starting to remove the sharing school district local
072off of the Barbara Roberts documents and in fact if we do ours we put all the districts on it's it's what has to happen and we didn't start out that way unfortunately and it is it is really caused us some additional hurdles. We have kind of a map somewhere that shows kind of here's all the region that's going to cover this or that's going to have access to it. >> That would be a really good idea. And basically I look what's 30 minutes away you know the other >> big circle and what districts are in there and then those are the ones that we are working with right now currently has a very large CTE program this is intended for other rural districts that have one or two and maybe don't have that ability to
073go really deep and again some of the CT programs are very project based we're going to build this we're going to build this what I've learned from Craig is at the state level. There's a whole sequence of skills within a beginning in manufacturing. I can't I do not know these terms, but you lay out that these are the things you have to learn first and I'm sure Jeremy you would know and then you've got to learn this. It's build on build on build and then you get to industry certification. So it's leading to something not just we're going to build this and then we're going to move on and build this. It's a different approach. >> Yeah. because that's a big part of a lot of the programs I've heard of is you leave it
074with a certification of some sort that you graduate high school and you're ready to be a you know senior or something like that or >> which is every pathway to leave with some sort of certificate or multiple depending on what pathway is >> give them a hand up to get into the career that they're going into >> the field you know for October that work session coming up this would be another topic we can sit and discuss and strategize on and I can see if office would be available for maybe staff or however we want to organize that but definitely that would be a good time to continue. >> I think doesn't reach all the way down to Salem for some of their programs as well. >> I I don't know the other one that
075I'm aware of is alignment career academy. It's over on Lancaster Drive and that is Jervis North Marian um now Angel Cascade. those students have the opportunity to go to that >> C10 access. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yes. That's a pretty good circle. >> Yeah. It's a good idea to have a map. >> All right. Any other questions? Okay, we'll move on. Karen, >> what you got going on? >> There's too much money. I'll tell you right. >> Yeah. >> Um it's I'm gearing up for the first big payroll of September. We need to finish up open enrollments for medical benefits some people to get that done. But um so I have to go in update everybody's selections and their deductions and all that stuff and then make sure all of the contracts are correct.
076And so I did um the overview I mean it's going to change obviously because I will be going in and after I do payroll I'll cover everything for the rest of the year. So we'll get a better look at um what the line items look like because it depends on what people choose for them at home all that kind of stuff. So, let's see. And then, um, go back up to your agenda so you can see it. >> Um, the appropriations review. I I was thinking about this as I was doing it. The reason I put this one in is because those buckets, the appropriation buckets are what we appropriated in our budget. And so we have to stay within those buckets. And so that's what the little check is. If the check goes red,
077then I know that we are we might overspend in that bucket. And so that's why then I'll do like a budget transfer or, you know, cut some costs or something like that. So that's why this one is here in case anybody was wondering. And then um there was a message going around on one of my listers about people were saying well what kind of like when I do check registers people were saying what what do you do? And like there was hardly anybody who said oh yeah we do all checks like we do. Um, someone said, well, a couple people said, "We just basically do any check that's over $10,000, we'll print that out." So, that's kind of what I did on this list. And I don't know if it's helpful or not, or if
078you just want me to still review all the check register. I don't care. I just was, you know, trying to streamline things. I thought this was interesting. >> Yeah, it's fascinating. Yeah, >> this this was kind of brought up the check register, which I I didn't realize it is until the first meeting was brought up at the finance um thing in Salem and and they said it it's often it's kind of silly because it's just like a massive dump of data that maybe nobody ever really looks at. So, I just pissed I wonder if anybody used that for any kind of action or is it just a giant page that we're making her put together to put in a packet that nobody looks at very close? I don't think you have to put together. It's
079just a document that >> you don't know if nobody's looking at it. >> Okay. >> Not really. I mean, it's like I mean, >> ask questions occasionally on like what's this or who's this person or If it's helpful, yes, we can continue doing it. We feel like something like this or if you want to set the amount, but we want to see checks that are written over a certain amount. I know Karen and I have been talking about this is what is it what's going to be helpful for the board? What do you want to see? Um I I monitor and I watch the general fund report of of the other one of this one and I'm looking. And it's like, okay, where are we at? What if this is going to change? >> Where's
080the income balance at? Because, as Karen's explained, when we set our budget as a plan, we send that to buckets we don't use or we go over here. This is when she's making those adjustments. So, um, this is what's going to be helpful for the board. You want the full check register to do that. Some version of this. Yeah, it's a lot less noise like little small checks here and there that are kind of they just become noisy kind of >> and it's basically payroll stuff the H IRS [Music] well and the other thing Karen um we've ISP global here for ratings that that comes out of bomb hunts. >> Yes. >> I haven't did yet. >> Okay. I just want to make sure. So when I you know and I end up produce some
081things and I make sure I know remember this comes out of this grant >> and we were given approval that some of our costs if it fell under the bond language that the voters approved we can go back to the point I think it was February or January and reimburse ourselves out of bond funds for those costs and it wasn't a ton but still it it would help our general fund um and give an example of that >> that could be tight The HVAC unit was 30,000. >> Okay. >> I don't know that we did that. >> I thought we'd be in court in February. >> I We have to look at that one. >> Okay. >> And also it was right on the line. It went out in December because it was really cold.
082>> And I was thinking that we just said we're going to have to set this one up because it wasn't. >> Okay. And I also I couldn't remember if it fell under our bond like one of the bond projects >> HVAC units are listed there. I'm pretty sure. And then the other was a fire panel for FCS. We replaced the fire panel before school started. >> Okay. So that should fall under >> Karen makes me nervous. But >> we'll take a look at that. What makes me nervous just because is it what was detailed specified in what we were going to spend money or it just so happens to fall right and so if it's not included in that I don't know if it works for well now you're just doing what you want the
083perfect match and I would probably even run by our bond legal council to make sure like you know does legally does this fall under our bond language >> would it go to the bond oversight committee first and then from there >> we could do that definitely. Yeah, because it's going to be coming out of the funds and we'd have to talk to RC about it. >> Yeah. >> How will it how will that affect the other project? >> Like I said it I don't know that it would because it was a very small amount and it was already in there to do so we just took care of it ahead of time >> because it really needed to be done like the S&P thing. Um, I didn't realize I we shouldn't have paid that right
084away. We should have waited until they could took it out at escrow when we sold the bonds, but I'm like, "Oh my gosh, we repay this." So, um, yeah, I'll move those expenditures into the bond. Um, the other thing that I was thinking about, I don't know if I mentioned that we had a water leak over at the high school in the gym and the gym floor had to be replaced >> from the ceiling or a different >> was a a line like going to the outside water spet thingy. >> Oh, like a pipe pipe thing. and it like bursts and like worked for >> I every time I feel you know Sean comes in to me and he's like doesn't want to talk to me because I don't need this and so now I'm
085feeling the same way telling our case guy it's like now this happened. So anyway, we did get the high school gym floor and it so they had to like stripped it all the way down and then they had to like air it all out so that the moisture was all gone and then they sanded it down and put new orange all over the top. Um, so it's really nice, but it we did do a pace claim with our insurance, so they always say, "Oh, no, it's not going to increase your rates." But we'll see what happens next year. >> Anyway, that was just I don't think I ever did that over the summer then. >> I feel like it it it feels like it was like this long drawn out things, but I don't think
086it really took that long. >> They just couldn't work on it till August. Yeah. >> So postponed volleyball had to be up at FCS while we waited for it. >> Yeah. It hadn't cured for a long time and then it was like they had to wait to get some whatever finish or something like that. But it's just one of those things of course me I'm like well can't we just like you know put the bone in there or something. I know. [Music] >> Anyway, anything else? I think it's 12 million on Yeah. Which one? >> One more. Three. Is it 12 million7,000? that from the like on the capital projects facilities capital project,000 like the interest or just like surplus or >> um yeah I think it's for interest on the money that's sitting at
087the bank. Okay. Yeah. I was just like this scenario we have Yeah. Yeah. Um, I'm pretty sure that's a lot more. All right. Any other questions? Okay, we'll move on to new unfinished business. We have a couple things to look at there. The first is our student board rep application. We have one applicant so far. We have two spots that are open. Um we try and fill them with junior or seniors. This is a senior applicant. Um unfortunately she couldn't be here tonight. She was here last month. So we have seen her. She's been very excited when Dorian was talking to her about the opportunity. Um she it will be an action item. We can either approve her or postpone till next month and then she can come and you could ask her some questions
088if you wanted. Um it's totally up to you guys what you want to do there. I don't see a wave of applicants coming in the next >> I also feel like it's good to set a precedence that it's good to meet people before you just elect to something. So for me it's just that like I would have no problem just waiting till next month and then letting her introduce herself and then going forward and bringing her on too. So >> and we might have a second one by then. We are really working with you find a junior. Yeah, it would be great to have a junior. So then we don't have them both leaving at the same time. They can rotate over um and spend two years. >> How long is it out there for
089them to apply for school? >> Uh we're in our third week. So we got out the first week. >> Is there something in mind for a junior? [Music] >> High schoolers are notorious for like seeking out opportunities like this. There's a little bit of recruiting going on. >> Yes. Yes, we did. The last time we went around in schools and talked with leadership or leadership class and >> um it still wasn't easy getting our people. Um and usually the best ones are the busiest ones, so they're not here a lot. >> Um but yes, we would absolutely love them to be here and join us when we go for our conference in November. That would be awesome. It was fun to see all the other students there last time. So anyhow, we'll do that here
090in a little bit with action items and you guys can decide what you want to do there. Um, next up is your bond oversight committee application which we heard from Lisa a little bit ago and hopefully you got a chance to read her application. Again, I was thrilled that somebody applied from the staff. I was a little worried. Um, so I'm thrilled that there's a voice coming from from the staff side. So, any questions about that? Okay, so moving on to action items. Um, the first one on my list is the board of student representatives. I move to postpon action item until next regular 14. All right. Any further discussion? Hearing none to a vote. Jen, go ahead and vote that. >> Yes. >> I have our policy packet. Is there a motion to approve
091the policy packet as presented? >> Move to uh approve the policy packet as presented. >> Second real quick. I think it [Music] >> just I notic that some w updated the numbers and stuff. Oh, what in the policy packet was that not uh in this one on page starting on page three the uh sorry the headers the footers thank you the footers down the bottom are not updated so starting on page three and then throughout the rest of the document needs to be updated because we're 11 yeah needs to be >> adjusted yes >> oh it should auto adjust once it I wonder the same because it did it on its own and one other spot. I had to manually do it and so I'll make sure that OSA adjusts the >> You're talking about
092the numbers, right? >> Yeah. Sometimes it did it and sometimes it didn't and it didn't want to break it. >> You talking about the little footer numbers? >> Yeah. >> I see. It can't adjust until it's gone. >> Yeah. >> Good. Okay. All right. Any further discussion? >> We shouldn't need an amendment to change that. >> Perfect. >> Okay. Hearing none, we'll move to a vote. Jen, go ahead. Vote. >> I >> All right. Motion passes. Next up is the board superintendent agreement, which we had two choices today. Um, was it compared to center zone? >> Yeah, just privilege change. >> Yeah, I thought I liked it. I thought it was great. So, um, can we compare the two? No, we really can't, can we? We can't do side by side though, which is good.
093It's Yeah, the highlighted part was the language the journey recommended. >> Yeah, >> it's simplified. >> Yeah, it was I think that was um the original comment was making disparaging comments about everyone there. in a public setting and it's like well we should just we don't need to like specify like only publicly >> the other one and I noticed the advised when >> um I I recommended removing the individual to be clear that these opinions are their own just removing that all together because if we are refraining from speaking publicly um there's no need to say that those opinions are on their own if we just don't speak publicly about controversial items at Right. I agree >> that that part seems kind of redundant. >> Yep. >> Oh, you can't talk about it as long
094as you >> declare. You really should. >> Yeah. So, >> we can strike that line. Motion. >> So, those are the two main ones. >> Yeah. That was the only two that really just seemed like they >> So, we don't need anything to change it. you can just accept the one you proposed >> because they're both >> with that that change that that a little bit there. >> Yeah. >> And a lot of it was because Ruby had made comment about the the board will appoint a representative for topics and it's like well if that never happens that just gets confusing to to do. So >> I like it. I like fresh eyes on these things. Great perspective. >> Thank you. >> All right. So is there a motion to accept one or the other
095of these board superintendent operating agreements as presented? I'm to accept the 2526 board superintendent operating agreement v2 >> as presented >> with the exclusion of individual clear that these are >> there any further discussion hearing none vote go ahead Hi Jeremy. >> Hi >> Santa. >> Hi. >> Motion passes. >> Just clarify. >> Second. >> All right. The bond oversight committee application. This was that weed earlier. So is there a motion to accept put it on to the bond oversight committee? Is there a second? >> Second. >> All right. Any further discussion hearing? None. We'll go to a vote. I >> passed. She is on. Um, does that come to our bond over committee then? We did have one. Yes, that would give us nine. However, we did have one person that has a lot
096of conflicts on Monday nights with the boards that she is on. So you contacted me and she's not sure she can make the first one. Um she goes, "But it looks like you've got a really good crew." So I and she just apologized all the way to meet on Mondays. That's that's just really hard for me. She's the um director of county head start and she's on the board for the YCC and those meetings are on Monday as well. Okay. So fair enough. Okay. Well, we'll get going and yes, you can always come back here. All right. Do we have any topics for our next meeting? >> We've got some board work session stuff we already addressed, but any topics specific for our next meeting? I I wouldn't mind hearing from you guys department. I've
097got an update from Adam on how prepared. But >> so going forward um I have um the two principles alternate on their boards. Okay. >> Um just because of the number of evening events they end up attending anyway. um often Joe trying to remind each other who's trying to um but that way it's you know two months that they are reporting they can have a chance to go a little bit deeper. >> Yeah. And if we do a work session with numbers that would be a great time to bring all that data >> and we going to do something with shop as far as like some information from Shop. Would that be for next board meeting >> they offer for November? I think if you had any questions, you could give them to Dory and
098Dory, get them over there so they can prepare for them. >> Yeah, I was actually going to bring up too, uh, Shopa loves doing tours. >> So, if you want to tour, um, Dory can get you hooked up. >> Um, they're phenomenal at giving tours. They just love to talk about what they're doing, which is great. So, there's not a lot to see because it's online, but They have their own building. They do have their own building. So, yeah, it's right here in town. So, you can go there and see. And they have the the daycare program. >> Um, >> friends, are they their friends? >> Yes, they are. >> Yeah. And they have the the CT CEK stuff, right? CT stuff that's going on. >> They're going to be working on that. That's the
099one they're working towards. Funding for it. >> Early childare. >> Okay. >> Healthcare and early childare focus. Yeah. So, anyhow, yeah, Jesse would love to show you guys around. Um, and she's only down at certain times, too, because she she's um she's a remote worker from Washington. So, yeah. Yeah. So, you know, that's their superintendent. I think that's what they call her, right? She's director. Director director. >> I don't know if everybody else knows more, but I know very little about it. So yeah, >> I know a lot about it, but that's because I did the tour. Yeah, and that's where two of my children attend. So anyhow, uh, moving on to board comments. Any anything? I was going to see if we could start scheduling classroom logs. Um, I know we me and Ruby
100have done it together and it's been very beneficial for us to see what's going on at the classroom level. um and understand like the things that we're making decisions here and how those implement in the classroom. So, it's good to see all the people and the kids and >> I went to um the back to school night and then the high school teachers and all that kind of stuff and just noticed some things like I noticed beside like at FCS the science lab upstairs there's some like very basic but like surface level like everybody to see things like there were some ceiling tiles that were like physically missing from the room and and I'd be like just find a closet or a space somewhere and steal a good one and pop it in there because
101when all the parents come into that classroom and they see the giant hole, it's like >> the gender closet or something can have that but we shouldn't have the science class >> residual from all. >> Yeah. So I just and then you know like there was a spot where like the for was coming up on the science captain like some glue in a book over the weekend and >> Right. And it would be >> and it's just like really quick visual things that just make it look a lot nicer. But did you notice the lights? >> I did. The lights are fantastic. >> Yeah, I love I love the high school. Um all the windows and everything like it's it has it's such a fantastic potential >> um because of the way the building's designed
102and the way it looks. The courtyard in the middle is great. Um, it's just one of those things that looks like some polishing and some some landscaping and some things like that. Like, you know, get a get a club of people to to bring some artists in there. >> Around the idea of having we around the idea of having like a work day. >> That's what I that's what I was thinking, right? >> Yeah. A logo saw us delivered and we redo the beds and we leave and we do different things. And I was like, a lot of schools do that where their community invests in their school and um but it never never happened. I brought that up multiple times. Thanks for >> a little bit of like visual. >> Yes. >> Pancake feed.
103[Music] They have delicious. Um, my sister's driving because they're >> my husband. >> And then Oh, I appreciate um the numbers and all the questions and um eagerness to learn. I was very shy, but >> yeah. >> Do you have any more comments? I don't think so right now. I do appreciate Jason. I That's one thing I need to learn a lot more about because I'm like jumping. >> Yeah, that that's something you can do just a full update over to get all of us up. Otherwise, we're going to be asking you questions that have already been done years ago, >> right? [Music] We started before Ruby came on, huh? So, >> I haven't seen the site. I guess I don't drive by it. >> Yeah. Is it like monitored as far as like you
104know the five sitting there like somebody making sure there's nobody in it? There there are people that block Jefferson Street and they're really good about reporting >> and the dog park's going in. Um Rotary stores some stuff in the paint booth. So as they're going in and out there it's a minimal use but there's enough that we keep an eye on. We have talked about cameras >> for the site definely and the dog park is our land. So we're not paying for the project but we're letting use the land there. Yeah, they used to paint all the large equipment. >> Yeah, it's an interesting building. >> It's big. >> Like the big rock crushing equipment feel in there. >> Yeah. >> Not like car size. >> Yeah. >> Big. >> Yeah. Maybe we can walk
105around. >> All right. Uh, next meeting is October 15th at 6 p.m. And again, if you can't make it, that's okay. Just let somebody know. Um, I appreciate that Ray is watching his children or child play football. That's very important. Uh, upcoming events, as you can see, there's quite a few things there. Anything you want to highlight, Dory? Now, Jen just went through and picked on like our senior nights where we recognize our senior athletes. It's a special thing where the parents come and they are recognized. Um, and then the 24th being the homecoming. Um, and it is a little odd that the district is closed. Um, I've explained that in that the 29th and 30th are two 12-hour days that we were able to offer conferences and allows us to do it in the
106evening. So then that Friday we're closed and it is a trade day. We trade that time. Some of us will still be working and some of us get to supervise the football game that night. So on the 31st and if you haven't been around high school campus um Halloween it is very busy. We have the event of how balls I believe there could be trunk or treat and I have worked to find out that all that will be cleared out before people start arriving for the football game. So it'll be a busy afternoon going into the evening which will be nice. Did we get admission cards yet? >> No, I have talked to Sarah about that. Their names are at the ticket booth, but we are working on admission cards, Spartan cards to get into
107events. >> You're also welcome. >> All right. Well, that's it. So, I'm going to adjourn at 7:37 p.m. Thank you guys for coming today.
