Leap Youth Alliance is honored to get to speak to this body to share about Red Ribbon Week. Our goals for the 202526 school year and how we can engage uh how you can engage with us. The annual Red Ribbon Week remembrance is coming up October 23rd to the 31st. We are raising awareness in a variety of ways through elementary school trunk or treats, speaking to you and our city uh 12 city council, social media partnership nights, and other activ school activities. Our most exciting is of course tableabling with stud partners at the Tiger 12 uh Tiger 12ton game on

009the 30th. >> Recently recently we attended a statewide youth prevention conference and we are energized to bring those skills back to Talin. We will be asking you and our school's blessing to do a very short survey of students so we can better understand the gap in knowledge and perception around alcohol and substance use. We will use this information to form positive social norms messages to address the gap so we can increase knowledge with the hope that as people learn that more people are not using a substance they will not either. One of our goals is to work with our middle school and local elementary schools to do a poster or coloring campaign around what healthy behaviors look like. We are excited to work with city partners Twin together and other experts in prevention such as

010the Oregon National Guard's counterdrug division to do this. Please reach out to us for more information if you're interested in learning more or being part of the planning, implementation, judging or celebration process. >> LEAP is doing Oh my gosh. Leap is doing our annual greenery fundraiser. Proceeds will go towards the spring prevention summit happening in Salem, Oregon in partnership with Northwest Park, an Oregon Youth Prevention Advisory Board, Wamtt University, the Oregon Coalition of Prevention Professionals, and the Oregon Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission. With the passage of HB 3321 and other exciting prevention efforts in Oregon, we are ready to advocate and support ways for our peers to live to their full potential, alcohol and substance free.

There is always good food. Thank you for this opportunity to share with you a little bit about what LEAP is doing this year. Um, and we are proud to represent our school, our community, and ourselves as we do this kind of work. We have a bag with some gifts and a gratitude activity. And thank you for your time. >> Questions or comments? >> Yeah, I was going to say don't go too far because we we actually want to talk to you guys. The the the Tiger Clan as well, the stud team. Um thank you for all you do for kiddos. Um, and thank

012you for being the amazing role models that you are. And also, thank you for all of the the swag. I feel like it's my birthday. I've got so much stuff here. Um, I want to make sure I leave room for other board members to say things. However, thank you for your work. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, I echo everything Director Zed said. I'm always so impressed with your groups, both Lee and said, um, specifically about how much time and effort and energy you put into events year round. This, you know, I know that there's a week, right, the Red Ribbon Week, which by the way, you're all pros at saying that because every time I've had to say that, I tongue twist it. Um, but really just looking at the calendar of events and the

013things that you're involved in and all the ways both in Tiger and Twolatin that you are reaching out that you are bringing folks into the work that you're doing is really impressive and not something that you see really with a lot of other clubs and groups especially um not even like adult groups but really like student groups. So really just congratulations and then all of you for being here for speaking. It's a big kind of nervous thing to do. So, I appreciate everybody. It's awesome to see the work that you're doing. Thank you. >> Thank you. Just wanted to um thank you all for coming out. I remember when I was in high school, people think that it's so easy or like not stressful if you're an adult, but I remember it is kind of

014stressful because even though you have your whole life ahead of you, you don't really know what is ahead of you. Um, and I just want to say that when you all are involved in all these positive things, I just really feel like you do all have a really bright future and you probably really don't have anything to worry about and thank you for coming out. >> Thank you for being here all of you. Um, not to completely echo what Vice Chair Urban said, but this is an enormous amount of work. And it just struck me as you were talking about, you know, going to elementary schools, going to middle schools, educating other students, doing conferences, and um and working with community partners. Um I don't know how you fit that all in and then do

015everything that else you have to do and that you want to do. So, thank you for all of that work and for the message that you carry and um and being mentors to other students and thank you for the invitation to to be involved um and and sharing your message with us. So really appreciate. >> Thank you. >> And I really don't know what else to say that, you know, thank you so much for everything that you guys do. You guys have great mentors. Um, you know, they Connie and um what's where is she? That's Cindy. Uh where I couldn't see her. She's back there somewhere. Oh Jesus. Okay. Um okay, we don't need to hear me that much. Um, but you know, so thank you so much uh for everything that you do and

016thank you for the for the gifts. Um, I agree with Director Miles. You know, the the message that you guys uh carry is very important and it's something that um shouldn't be taken lightly. So, thank you for for getting people to sign the pledge with you. >> And I just want to jump in as well just say first off, you all did an outstanding job presenting. So, thank you so much for putting the time into to do the presentation up here. I know once you get to the the mic sometimes it can be nerve-wracking and you all did an outstanding job. So, so kudos. Um, also I want to just speak about some of the things that you all said that resonated with me. One of them was about building resilience and and I think

017that we're in a time when um it's really encouraging to see young people building resilience and prioritizing that and also being the light. Um, I had the, uh, opportunity to attend the stud event last April and I got to hear firsthand through the testimonies of some of your students about how you're creating hope for kids. And, and I think we need to remember when um, we're encouraging kids to live a drug-free life, right? It's because there's underlying pressures, mental health issues that are driving um, people to towards substance abuse. And so I just really appreciate that you are creating a positive presence that's also giving kids a positive outlet. So thank you for all your leadership. >> Thank you again. Come on forward. We need to get a photograph of everybody. >> All right, here

018we go. There's no one else moving. Okay, we will now move on to our student representative reports. Does anybody want to go first? Do I have a volunteer or should I should I volunt choose somebody? I guess I'm going. Um, hi. Hi everyone. So, in terms of what has been happening at Tigra, last week it was homecoming week and so for our dance, I was one of the poorers for it. We sold about 800 tickets, which was about 200 more than last year. Um, at the parade, I saw some of our board members as well as Dr. Udo. Um, and then also unfortunately, we lost our football game against Oregon City, um, 14 to 21. Um today over at Tiger High, we had our third meeting for the living land acknowledgement document. Um if you

019guys do not know yet, our land acknowledgement is now a living document. I have been working with Casey Fernandez and Karen Hugard. >> Following and I think some others are as well. Can you just say the last couple sentences please? >> Yeah. So today we had our third meeting for the living land acknowledgement document. >> Um so for TTSD it's now living land acknowledge. It's now a living document where it's going to be consistent constantly edited. Um, and we will be presenting that to the board in a couple of meetings. And then this Friday and Saturday, ours are having a house which is which also doubles as um as a food drive for practic. Um, in terms of the homecoming parade too, um, there was a lot more floats in the parade than years past

020and I was in the tiger float and it was really enjoyable to do that. And then for sports, we have volleyball, boys and girls soccer games this week and water polo. And then our second to last football game is this Friday at Lakeidge. And it's senior night season for our fall sports. Volleyball and boys soccer had their senior nights a week ago and dance has senior night next Thursday. Hi everyone. For 12ton we had our homecoming this past weekend as well. Um health education week is being observed this week from October 20th to 24th. And then of course red ribbon week is being observed October 23rd to 31st. Unity day is observed October 22nd. Um goodness, Filipino American History Month is continuing to be celebrated. And then we have Culture Week taking place October 27th

021to 31st. >> I don't have anything to report right now. >> Sometimes brevity is a very good thing. Thank you all so much. It's been a really exciting week for I think all of the high schools. So, it's nice to hear the the eusion of everything surrounding homecoming and the I the fact that you had so many more tickets sold for homecoming really is impressive and a very good sign. So, thank you. Do any of my fellow board members have questions for our student reps? >> Yep. I just wanted to thank everyone for all the activities I got to see. Um, preparations for homecoming and all the excitement around it and also the fall festival over at Templeton. Um, there was a lot of controlled chaos, but a lot of fun and um, as it

022should be with such an event. So, um, just a lot of fun activities this time of year. I feel like things are really in a a good rhythm. Um, of course there's always some adjustments to be made, but um, a lot of really great fun activities. So, thanks for everyone for showing up and um, making these this time of year so much fun. >> Okay, then we'll move to Superintendent Board Communication. >> Thank you. I just have a a few items to talk about today. Um, I want to actually start by discussing uh, an incident that occurred earlier today at one of our elementary school or middle schools. Sorry. We had an unfortunate incident occur um with food service at one of our middle schools. Our food service workers and leadership team snapped right into

023uh right into action once they realized what had happened. Um and we've so it had to do with some food contamination and uh we've been in contact with the parents of all those who have been affected and we're really hopeful that no serious injuries are resulted from from this mishap. Um, and it's not lost on me that this actually comes on the heels of uh, National School Lunch Week, which is what I had planned to to speak about. And um, and so even though this was an unfortunate incident, what I don't wanted to do is I don't want it to overshadow all the positive stuff that our food service workers and our dedicated food service department does. Um, can you go to our slide, please? So, um, our food service staff, they're often the first

024folks to get to school every day. Um, they work really hard. They serve about 7,600 meals a day. Uh, almost 2,000 for for breakfast and then almost half of our uh staff during or half of our students during um during lunchtime. And if you can just go to the the numbers real quick. This is something that I wanted to illustrate that over the years these these numbers and the increase in participation are a testament to the the creative and innovative work that our food service uh team does. Um again we serve about um again we serve about I want to say I think I said it earlier 7,600 meals a day and that's uh that's an increase from last year. Uh we're really fortunate to have the um C which allows all of our uh

025students to be able to um enjoy meals. And one thing that I've stressed is that our students do better when they're nourished. They're able to engage their learning. And then we have creative leadership in that department which works really hard to innovate on the menus so that they're more culturally responsive. Um we have a growing diverse student body. We want to make sure that we're honoring that. So, I just want to say that those are some of the things they do that make us one of the most resp respected uh food service programs in the state. And what I'm not trying to do is um take this incident and and brush it under under the rug. It's really important to us that we determine what happened and we take every measure possible to prevent it

026from happening again. But I also want to say that I have full confidence the leaders of the leadership of our our food service program that we'll get down to the bottom of it and this something that we're also going to take very seriously. But we did just want to show some of the positive things that our food service does as well. All right, next slide please. Oh, this is for later. Let's let's just turn off the slides. I want to end on the positive notes. So, um, something else actually fun that, uh, me and Chair Zerse participated in last week was the, uh, what is it called? The Oregon crunch. The I want to call it the first crunch, but this thing is called the crunch. Yeah. So, I had an opportunity to to participate

027in the Oregon crunch at Art Rucken Elementary School hosted by um the Art Rucken Community Garden parents. Uh this group did an amazing job to promote the farm-totable sustainability and it was also inspiring to see students be pretty enthusiastic about eating carrots which you know um kids you know when I was growing up I wasn't always that enthusiastic about veggies and so um importantly this is also uh was coordinated by uh Marennena Galuchcci Kerry who was one of our old Woodward uh garden families or parents who was featured on that video that we saw last time. She's now an Art Rucken um parent and is putting in I think she says about uh 10 to 20 hours a week on that garden. So, putting in a lot of time effort to get that uh the

028art rucken garden going. So, overall it's just really good for the community to see families involved to see again kids uh interested and curious and enthusiastic about produce. Um couple things on the business side of the house. Just wanted to give a shout out to our custodians. Uh this is the first time in years I believe that we've been fully staffed at custodian. So uh we normally have openings, hard to fill positions. Um and as a result that sometimes impact our impacts uh our our buildings. But uh if you're in buildings or talking to principles, you'll you'll notice that um because it's fully staffed, there's more consistency around how areas are being maintained and cleaned. And so I just want to give a shout out to Director Montag and to um Fausto and his team

029for uh for all the work that they do and also filling those positions because they're not easy to fill. Um also want to tell you give you an update on OCA. We are in the home stretch of our classified bargaining. We have a few articles left to go. We have a big day coming up this week on the 22nd. Um we're optimistic that we're going to get this thing done soon. And um we're just really thankful to our partners at OEA for working with us on this and just want to keep um the positive partnership going and and getting this thing done. So we'll keep you posted on that as well. Um some some questions uh transitioning some things that have happened over the last couple weeks has been the the elevated presence of ICE

030in the Portland metro community. um you've seen in my weekly updates and also to my messages to the community about how we are attending to to that presence and and one thing that um we've said in our messaging is that we have protocols to keep our to keep our schools um safe and keep our students safe. Uh and um but still it it feels like there's a lot of uneasy feelings in our schools. Um there's some fear in the community and that fear is real and I want to make sure that we acknowledge that for our students, our staff and our families. And um especially as the activity with ICE is growing in our community over the last five weeks is starting to escalate things. And so some things that families have asked us is

031are our schools safe? And the answer to that is yes, our schools are safe. Um, I can assure the families that we are making a fullthroated effort to um ensure that your students for the six and a half hours that they're with us. That's a safe haven for them. Uh remember that uh Oregon is a sanctuary state and and so are our schools. Um so um we are continuing to do our best to provide information to families. So, we have our website that's been updated with all the resources and information that families uh need to know about um what's going on in the greater the greater community. Is is my mic out? >> Okay. Can I borrow it? Oh, it was out. >> Okay. Apologies. Maybe it's in agreement with me. Sorry. So, um, so

032really just want to say that we've updated our resources pages for our families. So, uh, in times of uncertainty, I think the thing that we can control most is how much information that we have out there and families having updated information. So, that's something that we're going to continue to um to prioritize. And if anything's changed or uh if you hear of anything happening in the community that we need to know about, there's resources um on that on our website on how you can let us know and we'll do we'll reciprocate as well. Okay. Now, let's end with the positive stuff. So, um, last week, last Friday actually, uh, there was homecoming as the the students mentioned for both schools, and I had the great opportunity to attend the, um, Tiger homecoming parade, and I

033had, uh, one of the best seats in the house. I got to ride shotgun with Associate Principal, Scott Haden, um, where I got to throw candy to a lot of smiling faces, both um, young and young at heart. Uh some were great at catching, some weren't as good at catching, some were good at throwing, some weren't as good as throwing, but uh it was really fun to see the full community spirit out there thriving. Um the event just really highlighted uh how special the community is, especially when they come together over young people and and something special like homecoming, which is just a tradition. So, just wanted to call that out. And then also, shout out to Coach Green. He did an outstanding job of taking pictures. I don't know how he does it, but

034he just looks makes everyone look great and captures the true vibe. And we um on the bottom lefthand side, you see our board chair and vice chair sitting in the back of those trucks. I have respect for you. I'm always worried that like I'm going to roll out of the back of one of those chairs. So, but anyhow, you all make it look good up there. Thank you. That's all I have for today. >> Who'd like to go next? I just wanted to um thank Dr. Udo Senita for um being so proactive. It's really important right now to be working collaboratively as a district. Um all the I feel like we have a really great team that's working together and all contributing to keep families together and make sure that students feel safe at school

035and don't just feel that way but are safe at school. So, thank you for that. Um, and I do want to also mention um with National School Lunch Day, it's such an important time. We have the threat of cuts coming from the federal government for um food benefits. And so some kids will be even more reliant on school meals as their families start to struggle more. Um, and I have uh two kids in my household that went to school with a packed lunch, saw that it was pretzel day, and decided to go for the pretzels. Um, not at the school that had the incident, though. Um, but I do want to acknowledge if they if that message had come to me, I certainly would have been concerned. And, you know, it's it's obviously not good.

036Um, but I also appreciate that it was um that the message went out in a transparent and proactive way. Um, you know, some sometimes somebody has a bad day and makes a mistake. We don't want to ever have those kind of mistakes. Um, but sometimes systems don't do what they're supposed to. So really appreciate the proactiveness to to make it right and um tighten up those systems because we still have a lot of kids um that appreciate pretzel day when it happens every time. And um so I hope we can continue to do that and then we we do have such an important time with our school lunches right now. And so it's just such important work to keep to keep going and um and it's a really a bright spot um even with the

037occasional uh problem that that we do need to address. So thank you so much for all that proactive work. >> Anybody else? >> Okay. Um I don't have a lot. Homecoming was very fun. Also learned that little Twizzler packs do not throw well. They just kind of like fl they like and then like right by the truck wheel and you don't want anybody getting those. Um very fun and there were I think 40 floats this year in the tiger. I think that's what it was 38 or 40. So it was awesome. It was like an hour long. It was really cool. Um the one update I have is I was asked by OSBA um to be part of a technical advisory committee with OD um and this is around Senate Bill 141 related to the

038student success act. So really looking at those local metrics and performance targets. And so there were three board members um asked to be on this committee representing small, medium, and large districts. So I will be working with district folks as well as other um sort of regional board members and superintendent to see what feedback we can continue to bring back in this very short turnaround that they're having um having us do this work within. It's about a month. Um and so I will be giving updates on that as we have those meetings. But again, this is really around what we want the um OARS or those administrative rules to be in terms of how we want those what we want the local metrics to be, what we want those performance targets to look like, should

039they be different between the size of districts and all that. So, it's a pretty convoluted and very complex process and hopefully we can get some thoughtful, robust conversations happening >> and it's really nice that they've got school board members on that committee. That's huge. Thank you for doing that work. Um, any other board members have stuff to share? >> I don't have too much. I um I got to go to the um 12ton High School choir concert which was wonderful. It seemed early this year, but the kids sounded great. What a great program. Um thank you for um uh such a great start to the school year, everybody. You and your staff and all of the teaching staff. I heard wonderful things about homecoming as well. Um yeah, I am also just thinking about our

040community and our families feeling of safety and um and really glad that our district is being proactive about um that sense of community and safety for our families. And also just um you know, we as a district and as a board just um also thinking about what what funding looks like in light of changes at the federal level. And I know that we're going to have to be um thinking about, you know, as a as a state and as a district what those changes may look like um if and when when they they come to us and thank you for your work on that um on that task force coming up. I had heard about that as well. So, thank you for your involvement in that. That'll be really important. So, and as Chair Zme

041said, it's great. It is great that they have board members being involved with that work. Um, I got the chance to go to the uh riata walk yesterday. Uh, yeah, it was yesterday. No. Yeah. And, um, yeah, it was raining, but it was nice. Saw her there. We, uh, we said hi to each other. Um, thank you for registering me. Um, aside from that, yeah, pretty much it. I don't have too much to add because superintendent mentioned almost everything I was planning on mentioning. Um, homecoming parade was awesome. Throwing chocolate is infinitely better than throwing Twizzlers. Um, and I as chair I guess I got the chocolate. So there are perks to the job. Um, it was so much fun. Um, the uh crunch at Art Rutkin. I want to echo everything the superintendent said.

042I've never seen so many kids excited to eat carrots in my life. I saw in two classes, two grades, that is to say, I saw one kid was like, "I'm not going to eat the carrot." And I said, "Okay, well, you don't have to." She says, "If it were a cucumber, I'd eat it." Fair. Um, a generation ago, I I don't think kids were quite that enthusiastic over carrots. And the carrots they're growing in the garden, by the way, were impressive. They were they were farmers market quality carrots. Um, so the parents over there at Art Reken have really embraced their new school, the the ones who did the boundary shift and the the parent community there is extraordinarily and really hitting the ground running planting carrots. Actually, the kids are planting the carrots. Um,

043the one thing um I did want to mention, uh, fellow board members probably all got emails from OSBA about the OSBA vote for LPC and board members. I just wanted to let you all know that our board will be choosing our vote for that at our November 17th meeting. So, it'll be a little while, but we haven't forgotten that it's coming. Um, and with that, I think that is everything. Um, so we'll move to public comment, but I believe we have nobody signed up for public comment tonight. So, we'll squeeze past that one just so fast and we'll move to our reports and discussion. Our first item tonight is our board policies update. Director Len Reed, come on down. All right. Good evening board members, student representatives, and Dr. Udo. I'm here to present some

044first read of board policies in which the policy committee has reviewed. Um to kick us off um due to some changes in the law, we we are looking at board policy GC BD sick leave personal illness and injury leave and also GCBDE military leave of absent absence. Both of those um have been impacted by changes in the law regarding military leave um going from 15 to 21 days and so um both of those policies are reflecting that update. Any questions on those? All right, the next policy is if district curriculum. So, this was one that had a complete overhaul and so we had to delete the original and then um they provided us an updated um version. Um and this was due to the changes um or the new provisions of law from Senate Bill

045298 um governing the persons responsible for the selection or retention of library materials. And so basically this um policy allows for our current practice which we utilize committees for those pieces. Um so are there any questions on changes to this policy? Okay. Next one we have is JHCA immunization school sports participation and what's got added is concussion and other brain injuries. Um so due to the um HB307 um they outline steps that must be taken when information when information regarding the students concussion or brain injury is provided to the district. And so, um, that's just clarifying steps. Just so you know, um, our district has a very clear protocol, including, um, our athletic trainers. Before a student even gets to step back on the court, field, or whatever, um, sport that they're playing, they have

046to be released by the trainer. So, that's an additional step that we have. Um, but this is just updating that policy saying, hey, um, here are the steps that district should take. So just to clarify, this policy is what the state requires, but we go beyond that. That's not reflected in this policy. >> We just do that in practice. >> Correct. >> Is it in our ARS? Do you know? >> No. >> Okay. >> All right. If there aren't any other questions on that one, the next one is JA directory information. So, the state board of education has made changes to the directory rules and if you take a look at the policy, you would see things like email address, um, phone numbers, address, those things have been eliminated as being available for directory information.

047So, it's even less. Um, but those are the shifts that have been made. Any questions on that? >> Thanks. >> All right. And then last but not least, uh JKHA, which isn't one of the recent changes. This is one that came from one of our directors um in regards to high school coursework for middle school students. Um this was eliminated back in sometime after 2012. At that time there was a situation where um middle school students were getting credit for high school courses but this is not going to do that. Actually the current practice that we have in play is that in order to meet the students need in terms of you know rate of learning. We're saying hey we're going to continue to support your learning your rate of learning but you're not going

048to get high school credit. you'll still be able to take the courses um at the middle level, but you're not getting high school credit for it. And then, you know, there's still plenty of time for those students to um obtain the credits needed um at high school for whatever area um such as math um to obtain those credits that are needed. >> And I think one of the benefits of that is that it doesn't impact a student's GPA. >> Correct. >> Um is starting in middle school, right? >> Right. Right. They just get the high school credit. I mean, their middle school credit. Yes. >> Thank you. So, I I like this being added back, but I would support having high school credit. Um, when I was in middle school, I took math over at

049the high school, got credit, and then I was able to get college courses later and saved some money, which was important. Um, which I think it's important for most students, uh, with the cost of college these days. So, I just think if you're doing the work, you might as well get the credit. I mean, I would support that. I don't know what kind of barriers we have, but just wanted to say I think it's great to have this opportunity and I think going further I would also be appreciative of and and this doesn't prevent a student from taking an accelerated pathway so that they would still be able to take um dual dual credits um where they'd earn college credit in high school um or advanced courses. What it does is it um and they're

050still getting uh advanced experiences and coursework in middle school. They're just not getting the high school credit. Um most students who are on an advanced um pathway or an accelerated pathway in math still end up earning the the 24 26 credits they need to graduate anyways and then some. So they'll still have the college credit opportunities is what I'm getting at. But I I do get your I do get your your concern and of course with these types of um with these types of policies they're always under review. So if we're seeing that it's having an adverse effect on the st a certain student population we'll go back and review that as well. We did also previously have the policy written such that the middle school student received the high school credit. And what happened

051was three or four years later when that student was in high school and they realized they gotten a C when they were in middle school because they were in middle school and they didn't think it counted, it did count towards their high school GPA and then it was a a problem for them. And so this was sort of trying to um split the difference. Um the pro the reason we ended up suspending this policy actually was because we had students who came in with so much advanced math that when they got to high school we did not have the math courses to give them four full years of math. That problem has now been solved. We have more than enough upper level math classes that students can take including the college credit types and so

052it's appropriate to bring back this policy. Just so you know the background to it. >> I mean that's what the community college is for, right? I mean I think writing out of math is great because then you get to go do more. But um anyway, I think it has a little bit of nuance but I think this is certainly a step in the right direction. All right. Thank you. Um, if there aren't any other comments or questions, those are all the policies for first read that we have this evening. >> Thank you so very much. Our next action, excuse me, report and discussion item today is our division 22 compliance report and that is assistant superintendent Dr. McCall. You have some company today, right Dr. McCall? Good evening, board chair, board director, student reps, Dr.

053Dudo Senada and we and I mean um I'm here today with director Carol Pinch and director Amber Fields. And so what we're going to present to you tonight is just our annual division 22 standards. And we'll cover the standards where we stand in compliance and any corrective action. Next slide. So um for division 22, these are rules for um K through 12 and it's what every district should uh do to meet uh the standard. And again, as you can see in the illustration, it's really it's not the floor. It uh it just represents the minimum and uh districts do more than just a minimum. Next slide. And so in this slide um uh the rules cover more than 50 individual rules which are organized into the five categories. High quality learning experiences uh aligned to

054focused educational um systems as well as engaged partners and communities, safe and inclusive schools and committed um and supportive staff. Next slide. And in our next slide, you will um see some examples uh here. And from the the five categories, examples such as um uh diploma requirements, instructional time, counseling, equity committees. uh every student belongs in uh teacher and administrative evaluation and support. And our next slide is just really an overview of our rules at a glance which you have in your packet which uh you'll see each of the rules laid out. It's the summary of each of those rules as well as um the consult the text of the OAR for all the specific details of the rules. And then our next slide is annually what we need to do is to report to

055the board and to the public and then to submit our asurances to the Oregon Department of Education. For example, if we are out of compliance, we must submit a plan for corrective action and or a timeline to complete such plan. And then uh we report to OD once they receive all of our asurances. They go through a process and review them and then follow up with uh the districts that have self-reported non-compliance. Next slide. So why does this matter? Uh division 202 it reflects our commitment to high quality equitable education for all of our learners. And again, it is just the baseline. It's not the ceiling. Uh the process also spotlights areas to improve and as well as where uh OD can support us and other districts. Next slide. And so this one really we're

056going to talk to you a little bit about what happens if uh districts is out of compliance. for OD reviews and they may require revisions. They can also provide technical assistance if needed. Next slide. So here's our report. We'll go into a little bit more detail uh but just for our audience. So uh we make like other districts, we make our report in the fall for the previous school year so that we can report uh accurately. there are some rules on which we can't say if we're compliant until the year is over. Uh an example would be instructional time requirements. And so in our next slide um last year uh when we presented there were two requirements um that were uh waved and they will continue to be waved. uh those are the essential skills

057for graduation and that waiver is through the 20 uh 2022728 school year. Also uh is wave the required the uh requirement that districts have a policy regarding whether English language learners may demonstrate proficiency on essential skills assessments for graduation in their language of origin. Next slide. So, uh, what happens if we're out of compliance? So just here to so for TTSD we were compliant with 54 of the 49 division standard rules and um the areas of non-compliance and we'll go into a little bit detail about that is modified diploma extended diploma certificate of attendance substance use prevention and intervention plan and so I'm inviting Uh for next slide, Director Beiels will speak to the one. >> So fortunately, this one's pretty straightforward. All these diplomas are explained and named in board policy, but we now

058need to send out an annual notice. So for this year, that notice will go out via newsletter and email, and then moving forward, it'll be a part of the rights and responsibilities handbook. So it'll just be embedded in that process. And then the next slide will be um direct So under the substance use prevention intervention plan um the part the reason why we're not in compliance we do a lot of work around substance use prevention and some of that was highlighted con coincidentally here today um and so I want to emphasize that we are doing the work our health teachers are teaching the lessons there's required lessons um that are in our health curriculum including opioid prevention and intervention. Um, and the two areas that we were not in compliance with is that you're supposed

059to capture all these efforts into a comprehensive plan. And so while we're doing a lot of the things that are required, it's not in a comprehensive plan. And then the second area was you're required to train all 100% of your teachers. And right at this point, we have we train all the people that are involved in these activities. our counselors, our health teachers, social workers. Um, but 100% of our teachers were not trained. So, in November, Audrey Dave, our mental health and wellness coordinator, who is also here tonight in case you have questions, but we will be back to present to you the comprehensive plan, and you'll have an opportunity to ask more questions and hear about all the good work that we're doing. >> Thank you, Director Kent. And then the next slide, uh,

060director Bill, you speak to the correct. >> Yep. So, our local performance assessment requirement, fortunately, um, really what it asks for is there is a set of OD rubrics and it asks that we are doing similar assessments and alignment to the spirit of those rubrics. Fortunately, in almost every category across ELA, math and science, rubrics we're already using align in the areas where it's um, doesn't. So for example, science which we're up for an adoption this year. Um in those areas we're going to be using our process of adoption which includes the standards alignment and the building of proficiency scales which is getting us towards policy IKABA implementation of standardsbased grading. So instead of doing a separate process of here use these rubrics while we're going to create these in alignment with our long-term plan.

061We're going to let our long-term plan be this work because it is essentially meeting the same objective. So if you go to the next slide, you'll just see I just did a quick crosswalk of how our alignment to implementing policy IKAVA around our stars work is going to meet the LPA requirements in those couple areas where we still need to do that work. Next slide please. The other piece was around the science adoption um which fortunately we're about to gear up here for just in a couple weeks. will be doing a K12 uh science adoption which includes standards work, proficiency skills work and then a determination if um the committees feel that they need to move forward with an actual adoption of something new or they would like to continue what they are currently using.

062So our corrective action will already be in place here in the next couple weeks. Next slide. So for our last few slides, it's really looking ahead for uh 25 for this school year. And you've heard uh from director Hills and director Kinch of the work that we're currently doing. Uh next slide is um just an example of some of the things that will be added this year. It is the uh seed surveys as required by OSAS as well as the ELPA screener. That's also required. And then uh added clarification that district must abide then by OD uh decisions regarding student test records. Next slide. And then um new as well is districts uh will be updating alignment with professional standards for educational leadership as well as um continue and focus on equity instructional leadership and

063talent management. And then uh lastly, districts will um just must be aligned uh administrative evaluation and that needs to be updated by September 30th, 2027. And that concludes our um sharing with you questions or comments. >> And real real quick before the the board jumps in, there's just a couple things I want to add as well. Um so the division 22 standards, they grow every year, right? So I managed it for four years and it went from you know 40ome to 56 or something to that extent and then after we came out of the pandemic they grew even larger and then they scaled back a little bit. So it's always kind of a moving target for us to manage. Uh, a couple things I want to share is they're also really broad, right? So, it's

064everything from from PE minutes to curriculum adoption to um programs of study and there's normally a few reasons why um a school district might be out of compliance and it's my understanding that there's nor like it's normal for a school district to be out of compliance with one of the 56 standards or whatever it is. Now, um those reasons are one uh sometimes it's an oversight, right? And then sometimes it's uh constraint on resources. And a really good example of that is like the PE minutes where almost the entire it felt like the entire state or every district I talked to was out of compliance with PU minutes and was just trying to figure out a way to make it happen. And then there's sometimes just like a lack of clarity. So I really want

065to pick on the substance abuse training. This is something that was somewhat of a late roll out and we use Vector for our training, right? So, we're scrambling to figure out like is there a way that we could um stand up a vector training to make sure that 100% of our staff members are trained on it. And because that lack of clarity of how maybe other districts are doing it or how OD expected us, what the expectations were, it it resulted in us not being compliant. So, when that happens, what we normally do, and I'm made good friends with Sue Payne at OD over the years, but you have a meeting with them. You say, "Here's why we weren't in compliance." maybe with a curriculum adoption because we didn't have the money to do it

066or whatever it is. And then OD typically works with us to on a on a corrective plan to make sure we get back on track. So, I just want to give kudos to our team because they've been in close comp uh close communication with OD and we really are getting getting on track with those three things and you saw that with the um couple of standards that we were out of compliance on last year, we got back on track. So this is just something that kind of happens from time to time each year, but we are really I want to focus on the 56 standards that we are hitting or the 53 that we are hitting. Yeah, I was just gonna I know this is a big and tedious project to do and undertake every

067single year and um and knowing that it really is a moving target and somehow like oh I we were in compliance and now suddenly we're not like things are always just shifting and so I do appreciate the transparency like here are the few things but also I think it says something when of those four or five all but one of them we're kind of already doing or we just have to put it in writing somewhere. in another place. Um, and then really understanding that we sort of have a plan and a vision for the science curriculum piece, but it wasn't as though we didn't have substance abuse prevention intervention plans. It was just again putting it in the one bucket and labeling it that. So, I I appreciate the work that it takes also to

068then like you have to bring all those things together and make it a plan, which is also really hard work. But um I'm really impressed with those 56 that we're doing well and the very easy fixes for the couple that we aren't. So, thank you. >> I I echo that. I have to confess when I first saw it, I'm like, we're out of complaints on four different areas. That's a lot more than normal. And then I looked and saw three of them were just the means by which we're making notification. Like, okay, that's that's kind of not really an issue. Um I did want to ask about uh Director Kinch about the substance abuse plan. Is that a plan that we have that you have to present to the board every year? Is that a

069oneandone? How does that work? Well, we definitely have to present it to the board and get your approval. And I don't know, we're not sure if it's annual or it happens once, but we will know when we come back in November. >> Does does the board need to take action on it or is this something that we present to the board? >> Yes, I think I believe that they need to take action and approve the comprehensive plan. So, it's possible that the instructions were somewhat vague. Is that what I'm hearing? >> Possible or I might not. Just know all the details. >> Thank you so very much. If there are no more questions, I thank you so much for all of your hard work. It is a big project and I'm glad we are doing

070as well as we are. Thank you. All right. Our next report and discussion item is our bond update. Director Montag, you're up next. Good evening. Um glad to be back to give you the October bond update on um what we've been doing with the with the bond work. Um, so in October, um, we've been really busy. I c I can't sit here and tell you that you can look at things that we've actually put up like we did, um, early in the summer, but we've been just as busy continuing down that path and getting things going. Um, so we're um, we've gone through the construction management owners rep RFP process and we're getting right down to the very end. We're hoping to be able to issue issue a letter of intent to award this week

071and bring that to the board for approval at the next board meeting. It's been a very long process, very engaged. I think we're going to end up with a with a good good representation as we move through before this next bond. Um quality uh I I reported the last time I reported here, we were going to have a Tality for the lighting um on the on the field at Tality. We had received land use approval for that and one of the requirements was not to have a neighborhood meeting, but we chose to have a neighborhood meeting because we want to be good neighbors. Um, we did that about three weeks ago. Um, we had a wonderful attendance of two people. Uh, they were very supportive of of the lights. They then one of the neighbors

072put back right up to the field. They were very supportive of our kids um having that additional opportunity to be out on the field in the evenings and and do that. Their biggest concern was around the noise and we assured them that we would shut things down like we do at our other fields that are lighted around 9:30 so that the noise would dissipate by by 10 o'clock with the noise ordinance. Um Fowler project so we're moving forward full steam ahead on that. Um, we've been doing a lot of things like phase one environmental studies, uh, surveys, um, getting contracts in in place for land use, uh, and we, uh, last week we had our first community engagement, um, with the community at Fowler. Um, I believe we had either 18 or 20 community members.

073It was a very robust conversation between the community and the architects of of what the community is is looking for. And the the conversation ranged from what makes you feel safe at school to you know th those types of services. I thought it was very well attended and very people were not shy. They they've put out things out there which is great to hear as we get into design. Um we are working towards the same thing with the elementary schools. We have yet to have a community engagement um process start on those. We're still finalizing all of the details around the scoping because the four elementaryaries as you know are they're they're similar but they're not and just because of every every one of those schools has has different needs and we are working towards

074that. Um and then for this next summer uh and in addition to the Deer Creek project that we've got going we've also got the uh um restrooms at the two high schools. uh land use is in for for that process for approval on that. The designs are getting really close to being done. Uh we met with uh Twin staff today on site to to kind of finalize location and number of of facilities and and that was actually well received from our initial goaround with them. They're like we like this better. I think we've got a good location and uh we're meeting with Tiger High staff on Thursday to basically do the same thing. In conjunction with the Twitin High, uh we're we're trying to package it. I don't know if we'll get it done, but

075we're trying to package the lights for the upper multi-purpose field in the land use application at the same time as we do the restroom because it'll save us somewhere between eight and $10,000 to package those together. So, we're trying to we're trying to get that through. uh to get that done. Um so the other thing that we're working really heavily on is is playground project. We're starting to get those those playgrounds get our heads wrapped around what that actually means because again that's not it's not a copy and paste. Every one of our every one of our schools is going to be slightly different the way that we do that. We want to make sure that we do that in an equitable way at each of our schools. So, we have the civil engineer engaged

076on that. Um, and one of the things that I'll point out is the Deer Creek project that will be happening next year, next summer, we will be doing the lower playground where we've had drainage issues. So, the civil engineer um had the opportunity last week, last Tuesday to meet on site with clean water services to see what the impact for uh the swailes will be on when we do add that or modify that lower playground to uh because we're going to be putting rubber surfacing there to hopefully take care of our drainage issues. Um, and as you know, uh, clean water services when you start doing something, it can create problems that will bust the budget really quickly. Um, we found that out in the last bond when we did renovations at the at three

077of those elementary schools when we just replaced existing asphalt and we ended up having to put in uh, big swailes that we weren't intending to have to do. Um, so we want to get ahead of that this time to see if there's any any what the implications are for the Deer Creek when we do the Deer Creek playground with the project next summer. Um we're working with a design consultant uh that has done projects for us uh did all of our playgrounds in the last bond to pres some some ideas around what that looks like for accessibility on playgrounds so that we can have uh two or three or maybe four standard playground designs that have these different play type of equipment and then engage the communities to uh the school communities to uh deter

078determine what what is best for their particular site. Um and then um the prek playgrounds, we're we're also working with that. We do have a small number of of funds that are available through the bond that were dedicated to prek playgrounds. We've identified two uh two sites to to do put those funds forth. Uh the other thing that uh we're working with the prek program, they have the potential to get a matching grant so that we can uh double our our funds that were set aside in the bond to put towards those uh those prek playgrounds. And they're working uh really heavily with Eric and Sean to determine where is the best focus instead of spreading it really thin and not being able to do a lot. We'll focus in a couple of different areas

079uh to do that. Um, and then just a couple of other things that we've got going on. Um, uh, I mentioned the the lights at the at the field. We're also doing currently in electrical engineering. We've got the electrical engineering going on for Twin High to get that. Um, we're doing a we procured a traffic engineer to do traffic studies at Fowler to work that through, start getting that as part of the land use. And then um see and then lastly um last week we met with um King City uh building department to as in a pre-application meeting to see what they what they need from us. Um, and I will say that when they asked when our construction when we were going to start construction and we said June, they they almost applauded um

080because it was like, you know, normally we see these we see these preapps in April for a June start. So, thank you for for getting ahead of that um because that's that's really important. Um, and that in a nutshell is what we've been doing over the last month in bond department. Any questions? Thank you for that presentation. It was really um great to see all the progress. I do want to take the opportunity to say a few words about wood chips um and grass. So, um so there's been a trend with playgrounds to have more of the artificial turf. Um, and I just want to um say a few words in support of not going in that direction. For example, Templeton has uh just wood chips under a lot of the play equipment. And the

081reason for that is the artificial turf has several things that are really harmful. They have uh microplastics, which we're seeing increasing evidence of health effects for. We're seeing um POS or forever chemicals like you would have in your uh dangerous teflon pan. And that uh actually breaks down and ends up in the water supply uh which cannot be filtered out. And um there's another chemical called 6 PPD. It's in those little tiny tire bits that uh end up in everybody's living room and those actually harm salmon once the runoff ends up in the river. Um, and so, you know, it's it's a little bit of a harder case to make for sports fields because nobody likes to get rained out. And so that's a bit of a a taller order. But when it comes to

082a playground, I think there's really no reason um to not go a little more natural. Uh, so just wanted to bring that up as as a preference. Um, I know there's other folks and other uh considerations and and perspectives, but I just wanted to bring that up. I think some of that's not widely known, but I feel that um in a number of years, we probably all will be dealing with the cleanup from these various materials that have been kind of uh uh kind of sold to the public as being uh a lot safer than I think they really are. So, just wanted to bring that up in support of wood chips. >> Okay. Noted. >> I just wanted to say thank you. Um, even though, as you say, there's no obvious signs of construction

083going around, it's clear you've been extraordinarily busy. There's an amazing amount of pre-work to be done to smooth this all out um and get it all going so that when summer hits, we can hit the ground running. And so, thank you very much for all of the steps and all of the paperwork and all of the meetings that you've been doing because it's a huge project. It's a lot of money and we want to make sure it's done right. >> Yeah, we do. >> Thank you. I just want to mention that um director Monte is putting a him and his team so Sean as well are putting in a lot of hours like they're always in there first thing in the morning making sure things are dialed in and they're always there late at night

084and he's also doing this while being the facilities manager right now. So we're hoping that you hire a facilities manager soon. I'm saying that in public so that you could >> I'm hoping so too. So yeah, because we want to want to keep you around and keep you healthy and it's not a sustainable schedule that you have, but you're doing a fantastic job. I just want to say that in public that we have a really good team and and and um we know that the public is trusting us with uh the bond dollars and they're taking it very seriously. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. All right, our final report and discussion item is our integrated programs annual report and that's assistant superintendent Dr. McCall again. All right, good evening again. So tonight

085is just an annual uh our annual report uh on our um integrated programs. Uh next slide. And what we have to do as a requirement for the Oregon Department of Education is to present on um two narratives that we have to post on our website as well as the submit through to OD. And the next slide I want to just give an overview. This is um an image that you've seen before. It what this image shows is just how our programs are integrated with our common goals and how they are aligned to our well-rounded education, equity, advance, uh engaged community, uh strengthen systems and capacity. So all the work that we do through the integrated planning process uh this is the year that we implement all of those plans. Next slide. And so uh what

086this part of the question is the first one is really is asking districts to share some highlights and some successes. And so, uh, here are some highlights. Across our classrooms, we've really honed in and tightened our tier one instruction through clarity, uh, uh, standards alignments and, uh, discourse, teacher to student, student to educator. And we're also seeing it pay off. So for example in our secondary we see co-eing and work on uh grading reforms combined with ninth grade success structures and we're keeping more of our students on track to graduate as well as with um what we've implemented. We have a district attendance team. We're really focused on our newcomers and welcoming them uh getting constituent feedback. uh that's from uh staff, the community, and students through our climate and culture surveys. Uh really honing

087in and boosting on helping students feel like TTSD is a place that they belong. And um you've heard through our u previous board meetings a focus on regular attendance. Attendance matters. Again, the key drivers for all of this is our longitudinal performance growth targets as we call them LPGTS. Uh and then um through that we focus on our third grade reading proficiency, ninth grade on track as well as our uh graduation rate. Next slide. So here uh again in true form uh we are known for our transparency and so just some highlights around some of the challenges and or barriers. Our biggest um limit is our resource you know sustainable resources. Um and with that sometimes we see that uh fidelity of implementation across our schools is not as consistent but it's something that we

088work on. Uh and we're are counting this with um assurance around we're doing quarterly data reviews again uh climate surveys, feedback from our families and community plus uh including our school leaders and working in collaboration with our affinity networks and our partnerships. Again, our goal is that the work that we're doing um is so important that we're so focused on and strategies that we can clearly name that is making a difference. All right, next slide. And so just looking ahead um next year again and this year as well is our continued focus on tier one fidelity coaching for clarity and discourse strengthening nth grade transition so that all of our students are ready and on track to graduate. uh again highlighting the need for continued ongoing data reviews as well as feedback and again that

089is measuring what we implement and then with that feedback you've heard us talk about PDSA's plan do study act and so we plan we study what we implement and if it's not working we figure out what's not working and if we need to make some changes and adapt it, we will and if we need to abandon it. But again, uh just stressing the need for continued advocacy for sustainable funding to scale up the the the really important work that we're doing at TTSD. And that is the end of my presentation. And one thing to add to and um when we uh share our data updates with you throughout the course of the year, you'll be able to see specific numbers on those. So you'll be able to see like this is what our ninth grade

090numbers look like in 2425. Here's what they look like in um in 2526. Uh and we'll do that for all of the other indicators using that data the data um spreadsheet or delivery tracker that we shared with you. I'm um not surprised. Thank you. First of all, I'm not surprised that what it really comes down to at the the bottom line is do we have the resources? Do we have the funding to do these practices? We know what to do. The gaps that you were discussing, the barriers are all because we don't have enough resource to put into the problems. And that is not surprising and really frustrating because we all know what to do and we just can't do it and it's unfortunate for kids that we can't. Um, if there are no more

091questions or comments from fellow board members, um, thank you so very much and look forward to updates and we'll now move on to our action items. We have one action item tonight. It is the second reading of our board self-evaluation tool and our individual goals and that means I'm presenting. Um so board members you will notice we'll start with the I'll try not to do everything at once this time because I think that was confusing last time. So starting with the uh self assessment tool um I tried to incorporate all of the comments I heard from fellow board members at our last meeting. um tightened up the language of a few of the uh tool uh points of monitoring. Um however, I wanted to specifically to um concerns that you had, Director Miles. Um in

092our section 4, there was some language that was fuzzy and I started to um make those corrections and I realized these are the board goals that we've already voted on for ourselves. So, I can't just go and change them. So, I think we're kind of stuck with these as our board goals since we have voted on them for this year already. Um, but then I encourage us next year to tidy them up and make that language better now that we have sort of seen them in in play. So, this is a second read. Um, and I I'm just sort of getting a a look. I I think it we could probably do both. Um the second part then is the board uh individual goals. They have not changed notably. Uh nobody gave me feedback. I

093tweaked my own but nobody else gave me feedback that they wanted to tweak theirs. Um is that correct Jade? You didn't get Okay. So um so that's our second read. Minor changes from the first read. Any questions? Or the chair would entertain a motion. >> I move that the TTSD school board approve the TTSD school board self assessment October 2025 and board individual goals 2025 2026 as presented. >> Second. It's been moved by Director Miles, seconded by Director Himenez that we approve the TTSD school board self- assessment tool and the board individual goals 20 2526 as presented. Is there any further discussion on the motion? Hearing none. All those in favor, please say I. >> I. I. >> All those opposed, please say nay. >> Motion carries unanimously. Thank you very much. And with that,

094>> one second. >> Sorry, jumping in. You're not going to be here next meeting, right? >> That's correct. >> Okay. So, uh it So, just sending out a reminder to the general public, I guess, that uh Chair Irvin will be stepping in on your behalf, correct? >> Yes. >> Okay, cool. Just wanted to put that out there in the boardroom. >> Yeah. Thank you. All right. And with that, we are adjourned at 7:54 p.m. Thank you all.
