008So, Rebecca, what was it about TTSD that drew you here to us? [Music] I think really looking at your vision and strategic plan and looking at the focus not only on students and community and equity, but also on really pouring into teachers and growing your own. I think that makes a really big difference with a strong district. Um, and I've had such good connections with people in Tiger Toatin and so really excited to work with some people who I've worked with in the past. Uh students, you guys have any comments? All right. Um yeah, just echo what everybody said. Welcome to you and uh congratulations to you too and welcome back Anelita. I know we've we've missed her. So um I'm glad that she's going to be back.

All right. Thank you. Welcome. Thank you. Yeah. It felt like it, didn't it? [Applause] [Music] Okay. And with that, we'll move into our uh next agenda item, which is student representative reports. And um turn it over to Moss. Hi. Um happy summer. So, we don't really have that much that many things going on at Tiger. However, in two weeks, we have yearbook camp going on at the University of Sounds. Uh me and seven of their editors are going to be staying three nights and four days up there um making mock spreads and finding fonts and finding color palettes
010to create next year's theme. Um and then in terms of our upcoming fall sports, they have started attending and or hosting camps. Girls soccer had their freshman camp today. Football athletic camp at Lynfield last week. Boys soccer hosted a freshman and goalkeeper camp last week. And then girls and then the girls volleyball had a beach volleyball. um tournament type of thing and last week. Awesome. Um just like Ma said, happy summer. Um again, since we are out of school, there's not much going on at Tiger, but our thespians, our Tiger High School theater department is right now in Indiana as they qualified for ITF, which is international thespians. Um it's like convention and um they performed their one act. Nathan who's our one of our other student representatives is right there is over there right
011now as he's a part of that one act. Um and then the sorry it's block the pride festival tiger high school GSA is in collaboration with the city of Tigard um this Saturday from 2 to 4:30 um starts in the ride aid parking lot and goes down Durham to the Tiger High School student parking lot and that's it for a checker. Awesome. Thank you. And do you guys have big plans for the summer? Just working to save enough for college. That counts. That counts. Um, mainly just sleeping. I I wish I could do that, too. That sounds very refreshing. All right. And with that, we'd like to move on to our next agenda item, which is superintendent and board communications. and we'll move over to Dr. Udo. Thank you, Vice Chair Himes. So, today um
012marked the end of with this board me board meeting will be the end of my first year as superintendent and wow, it has been a great year. Uh you know, I hear people say this sometimes and people have probably heard me say this, uh and it's not um an exaggeration. I still wake up every day and I'm so grateful that I get to lead this district and be in the role that I'm in right now. And um it's been quite the year. There was like a lot of highs and there was some pretty big lows, right? And uh through it all, I'm really proud of what um our team has been able to accomplish to serve students. And um also through the hard times I was I remained um grateful for the feedback that I
013got from people and also that um there was an acceptance of my leadership uh even when things were challenging right and so uh again it's been a great year so far. I'm glad that we're wrapping it up though and hopefully get a little bit of downtime before we wrap things up and start again. But importantly, what I want to do is is use the successes that we've had this year as building blocks for a more successful 25 26 school year. So again, um very honored to serve as your superintendent and to get past my first year. So um I want to talk about the bond a little bit. So we did pass the bond and um I know we're getting some inquiries, but we are opening applications for the bond oversight committee. And so this
014committee is a vital role in transparency and incorporating community uh and in uh making sure that we're um keeping folks up to date and taking community input as we uh start to plan the bond and then start doing the actual building and integrating uh progressing through the bond. So uh for those who are interested in applying here are some things that are helpful. one is that you um can make a commitment and that you have an inquiry based mind and want to show up as a learner. That's what's what's most important. Some things that are a benefit though is if you've had uh some experience working in building design or construction, finance, contracting, real estate. Those things are al always a benefit to add your expertise, but they're not a requirement and they should not
015discourage you from applying and getting involved. We just really want community members to get involved. So to do that, go on to our website. Um I just did a query search for bond oversight committee and it'll take you right to the application and we'll be processing those um sometime soon. Darren, do you know when we're processing those applications? Throughout the summer. Excellent. And we'll keep you updated on that as well. Um today during our our work session, we received reviewed academic outcomes from the 2425 school year. And as expected, based on the updates that we've been providing you all, we had some areas that are worthy of celebration. And then we also know that we have some areas that are in um need of attention. And so uh to that end, I want to focus
016on um I want to talk a little bit about data and the importance of data. Uh, one thing is that data is going to have imperfections. When I say imperfections, there's going to be some data that we want to make sure we're not hiding from, but instead we're using it as an opportunity to make informed decisions as indicators for the vitality and health of how our district is doing. And um, finally, we want to use that data to be able to track our progress over the course of several years. So, um, we know that we do have some gaps and I'll mention those, but also we want to use data for opportunities to celebrate and we certainly have some things that are worthy of celebration. So, just to highlight a couple of things and I
017don't want to steal the board's thunder because you all are going to comment on this, but fifth grade math is um, as Chair Urban said earlier today, yay. We are doing great um, in fifth grade math. And when I say great, we're closing gaps. we're showing progress and there's a pattern that that um we're showing um growth in that area. So that's that's really good for us to see. Um also sense of belonging in office and discipline referrals. We know we've been focusing on um improving be behaviors based on relationship and systems. And we're starting to see that in our behavior referrals and that 95% of our kids have one or less referrals, meaning they have no referrals ever or maybe had a a referral had a bad day, something happened, right? Um that's a
018really great number. And then for our historically underserved students of color, um 94% of them. So we're seeing a closure of that gap. You know, we won't be satisfied till that gap's all the way closed, but we see a closure in that gap. And so um areas of growth we know we need to continue to lean lean in on how we are supporting our multilingual learners of English and we need to be really intentional and really specific about the approaches that we're taking there. We're doing uh we're making a lot of efforts in the in the classroom right now. And our focus next year is that going to be to continue to um remove barriers and increase outcomes for our ML MLES. Uh and so we're looking forward to getting to work on that. I
019know that um our directors and our principles and our teachers are approaching that with laser-like focus. And um finally uh I want to take an opportunity to say that we are starting our summer school and our summer school is really important because there's a connection between the programming that we're able to offer in summer school and how it's benefiting student learning outcomes and students sense of connectivity to schools. uh whether that's our jump start kinder programs um which help uh prime students for being school ready when they become kindergarteners or our rising program at the middle school to support with the transition or uh our credit recovery programs to make sure that uh if our students are not on track that we're making up those credits. They all serve a purpose and we were able
020to utilize about $200,000 worth of our state funding. Those are primarily towards literacy, which we see as um something that we really need and as a benefit, but um making learning something that's just not from September to June, but something that's year round is a trend that we want to promote in this district. And so again, we're going to be advocating for for more summer dollars next year and and finding ways to ensure that we're um creating more opportunities for kids to get involved in summer programming. But to end on a high note, we have about I want to say 600 kids preliminarily uh after our preliminary numbers that are involved in summer learning. So, um that's 600 kids who aren't sitting at the couch, who aren't um scrolling, they're going to school, they're engaging
021their learning, they're getting after it. And so, I want to say kudos to those kiddos. And thank you to the staff members who are coming into the summer making sure kids are engaging their learning. That's it for my report. Thank you so much for that. Uh board members, who would like to go first? So, um it's it's been a little quiet since that flurry of all of those graduations that we had um at at the beginning of the month. Um but there was one other end of the year celebration I was able to go to and that was the WISE program which was really neat neat. Um it wasn't really a graduation, but it was sort of a a moving up. Reminded me actually of like the Girl Scouts thing where they they move up
022to the next level. Um some amazing kids, some huge smiles. Um a really wonderful warm um inclusive uh just loving um environment for these kiddos. Um and and it was a it was a great celebration. Um I also went to the 8th annual collaborating for equity um endofear uhformational and sharing of what all of the various building equity groups were doing during the course of their year. Uh, and I wish I had taken better notes, but I remember Creek Side had done some amazing things and I didn't write them down because I was so busy listening and now I can't remember what the exact things were, but I remember it was really impressive. So, I got a note to myself to go back and talk to Russ about all of the things that happened at
023Creekide. Um and then finally I went to the Juneenth um celebration at Tiger at Cook Park and um really nice event. Um I was a little disappointed there weren't more people there. I think that had something to do with where the which part of the park they were in. So there weren't getting as many walk by people, but it was still a very fun event. Some great music. That's my report. Thank you. Um, yes, it has been a little quiet. Um, and in my house, uh, I have a teenager who's also sleeping and doing things like that. Um, I want to thank our student reps for being, um, involved in, uh, board work this year. Thank you for your participation. And um it is always really nice to look across the table and remember not
024that we don't always but just see a representation of why we're here and doing this work to see students at the table. And so thank you for being here and for our other student reps who aren't in the room also. Um so and uh wish you all the best um in your future. Um and I also want to acknowledge that this is the end of your first year Dr. Udo and thank you for your leadership and your guidance and everything. um we've had a really huge year as a district and you and your team have done um amazing work and an enormous amount of work this year and so thank you. um looking forward to next year and um just looking forward to uh uh not that we're going to necessarily slow down over the
025summer, but um amazing things have happened in this district um this year and getting that bond passed and seeing that the work is going to start on that will just be a really exciting finish to this year and start to next year. And um yeah, that's all I have. Thank you, Director Weston. Just want to make sure that you don't have any comments. Thank you, Vice Chairs. I'm just appreciating um being at home where I'm recovering from being sick. Um thank you everyone for all the reports and appreciate our uh team that made sure um I could join remotely. Thank you so much. Um I I love the end of the uh of the school year because it's always filled with gratitude and we don't I mean we do get that throughout the school year
026but mostly we work up we work it up until now and it's like all right we're done and we're grateful for everybody that we work with and um and I I think that um like you were saying uh just the amount of things that we have that you all have accomplished that the students have accomplished that we've all accomplished for for our students is just incredible and and that's the uh that's what I'm grateful for for this end of the year. Uh I guess I'm grateful for this guy too, you know. Um, I think that uh one of the one of the best things to do is to visit the schools and I know that you spend a lot of time in in the schools where where the students are at. So, I really appreciate
027that about your leadership style. Um, and just, you know, everybody else that that goes into the schools. Unfortunately, I don't have time to get out there as much. But hopefully next year once I've um sure uh assured myself what what I'm doing in this new job that I'm doing, then I can take some time and uh and go into our schools more. Um with that, I'm sorry that there's no birthday celebrations because there's no treats. Dang it. Um and just confirming that uh there's no public comment other than the written one that was submitted. All right, perfect. So, with that, we'll move on to reports and discussions. And like we said, we um postponed A. So, we're going on to B, which is the second semester academic review presented by us. Okay. What are we
028what? Oh, and this is just an opportunity like our sips for you all to comment on anything, reflect on anything that you learned during the um work session. Ah, perfect. What any like you on the spot? This is problematic because our superintendent stole our thunder. I mean the the two things that I was going to talk about were the um the fact that our uh our disagregated data um for our uh office referrals was um was 95 and 94% for all students and and our underserved students as our superintendent mentioned. Um, and also that the number of students reporting that a a uh there was an adult in the building who made them feel safe and cared about has gone up dramatically. And by dramatically I mean by about 15 20 points at fifth grade,
029what was it? Sixth grade, ninth grade, 12th grade. Were those the I can't remember what the measurement points were now. I don't have it in front of me. I'm gonna have to wing it. Yeah, I think it was a lot. Anyway, it was up by 15 to 20 points at each one of those up to 83 point something% in in the high school level, which is really remarkable that our high school kids feel like there's somebody who cares about them there. There are many people who care about them, but it's nice to know the kids know that. And um as I said earlier, I think there's a definite link between those two points that the superintendent already talked about. Okay. Well, now our superintendent and director Zers mean we'll just keep stealing each other's thunder.
030Um, I will say that I just as always with these work sessions so appreciate the work done by the team and not only collecting the data, but in really looking deeply into what's behind it, what are the root causes, what comes next. Um, I feel like, you know, anytime anybody asks a question, like there's already been a lot of analysis into what's um, behind it, a lot of thought as to what comes next. Um, and of course it was way too short of a session. Like we could have talked about that for a long time. Um, some things I noticed are things that everybody else noticed. Um, you know, kindergarten attendance was up. I know that's been a challenge in recent years. And, um, I mean, attendance is a challenge everywhere, but kindergarten attendance was
031up. Um, uh, this has already been mentioned, but referrals being down in that new way that we are looking at referrals, the percentage of students that have never had or have had one referral, um, and that, um, equalizing um, between groups, um, students that feel like they have trusted adults and that increasing more as students get older. And then and I have said this many times in my last couple of years on the board is that you know we know research shows that districts that look at all data have better outcomes for students not just looking at their positive data but looking at all data and and Dr. Udo was mentioning this earlier and we and our staff does that here, right? We don't we don't just look at the good data and sort of
032you know like bypass the any other data. It's looking at all data. It's disagregating the data. It is looking at gaps and saying what does come next? What can we do? And staff brings that to the board so that we can look at that ask questions and eventually work that into okay what is the AROI? What how do how do we fit all of this information into the strategic plan? And that is what moves the dial. And um and so every time we do these sessions, I learn more about how the work of this team and the work of our entire district is really wrapping around and supporting students by looking at all of the all of our data celebrating what's great, trying to support what still needs support. And this is just one of
033those instances that we learn more about that. Thank you, Director Weston. Nothing to add. Thank you for the uh thorough presentation. I really I guess I do have some to add. Um I really appreciate uh the way the data was all split out and being able to look at it um in advance in depth was really nice. Yeah, and I'd like to echo the sentiment. Thank you so much for putting the the thoughtfulness behind all of the data and the presentation. I think um you know every time that we all gather to look at data and nerd out on it like I said earlier uh is you know it's very useful to all of us to learn just um and appreciate just how much thoughtfulness goes into um into not only procuring the data but
034what happens behind the scenes like the teachers, the principles, all of that that they have to prepare to be able to have these outcomes. And um you know, one of the one of the things that I like the most about this data is the ninth grade success data that we have because um it is a very important indicator for our students in terms of getting them across that finish line and getting them graduated, right? And if we've if we've got this uh key indicator that is this ninth grade success where we can track it and make sure that we're um walking alongside all of these students then we can get them across the finish line much easier. So really appreciate all of your work on that. Um, with that, uh, if there's no more, oh,
035one thing I forgot to mention was, um, in the board packet, there is the full data that was presented to us during the work session, but there's also the end ofear report, which goes into even more depth. So, if anybody out there is a total data nerd and wants to know all of the good, the bad, and the ugly, and and the reasoning why, all of the data that matches up to our strategic plan is also linked there in the end ofear report. Yes, thank you. We'll look at that later. Um, and with that, we'll move on to uh report and discussion item C, annual EAC committee report presented by Dr. a call and friends and more friends. Good evening, board of directors. It is my honor to introduce to you uh our presenters tonight
036uh is uh Jacob Deg GR who is our the chair of our educational equity advisory committee along with vice chair Henry Castello who will be presenting with with um Jacob and with me is also Dr. Zenia on. So at this time turn it over to Jake. Thank you Dr. McCall. Uh good evening board and superintendent. Uh it's nice to uh be here tonight. So thank you for this uh opportunity. So yeah, we're going to go into the providing a a summary of our recommendations from the annual report. Just giving a a quick year and review of the educational equity advisory committee. uh and also just quickly go into some lessons learned uh that we had at the during our last meeting and then give you uh give the board opportunity to ask any questions uh
037that you guys might have. So if we go to the next slide as far as the year and review uh we held nine meetings this year which is one fewer than last year and we feel like that hit the the sweet spot uh and so that's something we're going to continue to do in future years. Uh the only uh subcommittee like while in previous years we had a decent amount of subcommittee work. The only subcommittee that met this year was the annual report subcommittee. Uh that's mostly due to uh like the lack of funding for the equity funds dispersal which was a subcommittee last year and the uh the policy subcommittee also didn't happen to meet this year. We added two new students to the committee this year which is awesome. It's uh great to
038have uh students uh on the committee. So I believe we have three students on the committee right now. We started the school year with 16 members and by the end of the school year it was uh down to 11. So uh recruitment and retention is still a little bit of a challenge. Our goal is to have eight members present at each meeting and we usually hit that number. So that's good. Um but we are going to need to uh recruit uh some more committee members pretty heavily for this next school year. And then all of this uh culminated with our uh second annual report which was uh delivered to the board last week. So hopefully you all have had a chance to read through it and and if you haven't I hope you do take
039the time to read through it and we'll get into uh the recommendations highlights of the recommendations in the next slide. All right. So one of the roles of the committee is to review schools ish plans. So the the uh education accountab account accountability solutions and healing plans that all schools include in their sips. So that's one large body of work that we do. Uh and a recommendation that we included in the report this year is that there appeared to be a small step backwards in uh the level of detail and consistency in some of the schools uh each plans. So the recommendation here is to use uh we did pick uh Bridgeport Elementary's EH plan as an exemplar for other schools to follow. Um with that being said, uh it is a very robust EESH
040plan, so there could be challenges. So part of this recommendation would be to obtain feedback from schools as far as challenges that they're having uh completing their EEH plans and seeing what can be done to help them remove those roadblocks to to complete their EESH plans. Uh we also recommend that schools intentionally address their EESH plans during the SIP roundt sessions. So each members are are invited and and show up to some of those roundts and most of the time the plans aren't directly addressed. It's oftentimes due to time constraints, but we would encourage schools and you know the principles and uh APS to try and address the each plans in those meetings. Uh for the SRO program, so another body of work that the EAC has oversight of our recommendation here, we we have
041two of them. Uh, one of them is with two new SRO's starting in Tiger, we just encourage that, you know, community building and whatnot that that needs to happen when uh new SRO's are uh showing up in the schools. And one way that we think that uh that can uh be done is by partnering with uh communications and community relations as far as you know reaching out and trying to have those positive interactions with the community. So we would recommend that. Uh we also heard about an opportunity when SRO has met with us about u potentially partnering with family partnership advocates to help uh meet needs of some families in the community. Um and we would like to encourage that. Um we would just like to make sure that you know there are clear guidelines
042and whatnot set in place in order to continue to maintain and build the trust that the SRO's have in our community and schools uh when working with those families. As far as bias in BICE incidents and hate speech goes, um, uh, one thing to note is that when we did conduct our review of this data, we only had half of the year data. So, we didn't have the full year data like uh, uh, like you have been able to review. So, keep that uh, in in mind for some of these recommendations. So, for example, one recommendation is when we were reviewing the data, we did still see some disproportionate outcomes of office discipline referrals for black uh, and Pacific Islander students. So we would encourage you know to continue to look at root cause analysis
043of that and and trying to um develop targeted targeted interventions to address that. Uh and then going on to cabinet roundt which is another big body of work that we have where members of cabinet come and present to us as far as you know uh what their uh pro what progress they're making towards their strategic goals uh and whatnot. this year uh similar to last year they conducted a SWAT analysis with us. So looking at strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats within their work. Uh so one of the uh areas of cabinet that show up was academics. And so as far as the a recommendation for academics is um while there there is focus with the uh two-way immersion ensuring equit equitable access to to the two-way immersion program uh we would encourage looking beyond just
044providing equitable access and um because some students have reported feeling otherred or kind of disconnected from the rest of uh the school due to uh the curriculum um being kept very much separate from the rest of the school uh and and whatnot. So, trying to find solutions to help uh students in the tree program feel more of a sense of community and belonging within the greater school uh rather than just within their tree community. Um, additionally, uh continuing to analyze the disproportionate u identification of Hispanic students instead. So I believe that was a recommendation from last year and that's something that uh is still something that needs to be looked at. As far as uh HR and diversification of of workforce goes um similar to last year there were you know more positive outcomes of
045of you know meeting their goals and achieving their goals. So um when addressing one of the uh areas last year of how to better leverage areas of strength to further their goals, one of the things that HR mentioned was um storytelling and broadcasting through media uh as a possible recruitment true tool for TTSD. So um uh similar to the SRO SRO recommendation uh we would like to encourage uh HR to partner with communications and community relations to try and get that out there to try and broadcast you know what it's like you know what's it like to be a teacher in TTSD and and try and really get that message out there. One other recommendation there as well is establishing or strengthening mentoring relationships for for staff and and teachers in the district and consider
046cross district or even professional groups uh to help support and give teachers and staff that development sense of community that they need with culture and climate. Um, last year one of our recommendations was that we noticed that there was uh potentially discrepancies in how some some schools reported uh office discipline referrals. Like some elementary schools maybe only had major referrals while some others maybe only had minor which indicated that there's a discrepancy in how they were reporting. So culture and climate addressed that this year by having calibration sessions with associate principles and deans uh which was really awesome and and neat to hear. So, uh, really encouraging that. And to encourage that a little bit further, we would recommend finding a way to include staff and teachers in that as well to try and get
047that down to staff and teachers since they are often the front lines of, you know, the the referrals and whatnot. So, trying to include them. Uh, something else that was mentioned from their presentation was the lack of a district-wide engagement goal to promote student belonging. So that would be another recommendation that we'd have was would be to create that district-wide goal of student engagement so that all schools can be working towards the same thing. And then this year was our first year of having communications and community relations show up and present at our cabinet round table. Uh one of our focuses as a committee is you know ensuring community engagement and and making sure that uh uh you know community needs and concerns are being addressed. So, it was really great to hear uh from
048uh the communications and community relations team. Uh one of the recommendations here just hearing um you know based on the changes uh from this last year uh not being able to focus on social media as much. So, we would recommend this next school year to focus more on social media for community engagement and not just to engage with the community but also to measure community engagement because you can there are tools to measure community engagement using uh social media. So, we would encourage that and as already mentioned a couple times, consider partnering with other departments uh within the district to help them meet their goals and and their outreach. Uh I mentioned the policy subcommittee did not meet this year, but that doesn't mean that we don't have recommendations. So, similar to last year, we
049would uh appreciate, you know, any recommendations for policies for us to re re uh review, we would gladly do that. We would also recommend that uh an EEAC member be present at board policy development meetings. So one of the uh roles of the EEAC is to provide feedback and and whatnot on school board policy. So to have one of us present there I think would be helpful to to meet that. And then lastly, one of the larger overarching recommendations uh regarding all these goals, and this was something that was noticed partway through uh the year um is a recommendation that the board andor superintendent put a process in place to specifically address the recommendations made by the committee. Um so I gave the I think the example from culture and climate was a great one
050where um you know they came back and they addressed you know a recommendation from the prior year and and and how they and how they did that and that was a great example. Um I think setting something like that in place uh for especially the the cabinet round table would be fairly easy to do. We'd have to have conversations on how to do that for some of the other areas like the bias and hate speech uh data and whatnot in the SRO program. Um, but I think putting a program in place to ensure that uh the committee's voice is is being heard and whatnot uh would help keep uh engagement uh with committee members and just help me the charge of the committee. All right. And then next slide would be the the lessons learned.
051So lessons learned. This is something that I've taken away from, you know, my my career where after any big project or a big body of work, it's always good to look back on it and and consider the positives like what worked well, what is stuff that you would like to continue doing in the future and what are some deltas, what are some things that you would like to potentially change in the future. So that's what I'm trying to highlight here. Uh as mentioned at the beginning, uh nine meetings I think was the perfect spot that equates to about one meeting per month for the school year and I think that worked really well. Another positive was our vice chair Henry here. Uh uh brought some stability to the committee. It's really nice uh having another
052leadership role on this committee. So it was great having Henry step up and I looking forward to uh working with him more in the future. Uh we did hold some meetings virtually this year uh intentionally and that was a great opportunity for some people the committee to um you know show up to the committees in a meeting that's uh maybe a little in a format that's a little bit more comfortable for them. and we're also still able to meet engagement goals. So, uh we're going to continue doing that in the future as well. And several committee members have mentioned just the the protocols that we use like the forces protocols and first thought, second thought protocols as well as the centralized documentation that we use is really helpful to ensure that everybody's voice is heard
053um and that we're getting as much data for uh what we're looking at as possible. Um and then on the data review, having a a balance of data review plus presentations, right? I mean we did have I believe we had one work session where it was 100% all data review and we try not to do that you know we try to break it up a little bit because looking at data can kind of make your mind melt a little bit. Um so yeah we try and balance intentionally uh our meetings such that you know half of it is presentation focused and the other half is data review. And as far as deltas go um I believe this might have been mentioned last year just improvement in and onboarding uh new members I mean it's like
054for for new volunteers and new people to this uh world it's like drinking from a fire hose sometimes with all the acronyms and all the information that's being thrown your way. So um improving onboarding could be done either through an FAQ document or an onboarding toolkit. So that's something that Henry and I and Dr. All and Dr. McCall can consider working on. Uh another one that I would like to work on is the structure of the annual report. Uh making it so that it's more u how do I put it templated and user friendly for somebody else to take on in the future, right? Um so because it might not always be uh me doing this. So making it easier for for other people to step in and do that work I think would be
055super helpful. And then a couple of other people recommended a retreat before the year starts which I think is a great opportunity that could also be a good opportunity for onboarding as well as well as developing some uh relationships. Um because when getting into this work it is important to have those relationships first uh when you start getting into you know looking at some of this data and having some of this work. And then one other delta before we go into questions for the board because I do kind of have my own question uh for the board. One change that uh did recently happened with the passage of house bill 2453 u I'm which uh changes such that the EAC now reports to the superintendent rather than the board. I'm just curious uh from either
056the board or superintendent what type of change you see that uh will come from the EAC with that. I know that one of the um drivers behind that um legislation change was around um protecting anonymity um for those uh who were participating in the EAC and also uh we did uh making sure people weren't reluctant in participating. So I think that um this is this is really important work and we need to have a broad range of participants at the table, diverse participants at the table. So hopefully this legislation will um one encourage uh others to continue to get involved. Second is um this is a little bit more selfish uh to hold a board meeting. Now, um they need there's a lot of regulations in terms of public meeting law and um what I
057think this does is it removes some of the barriers to ensure that you all can do your work um and that there doesn't need to be as much administrative oversight in ensuring that those uh meetings can convene. So, those are a couple of benefits. I can't speak on behalf of the board of course. So I'm just kind of sharing a benefit of it being um contained uh within the purview of district administration rather than the board. Um and it gives us a little bit more um autonomy to be flexible either even with meeting times or adjusting agendas and things like that. So hopefully those are things that will those are changes that will improve the way we're able to operate um the EAC. And um hopefully it also brings me a little bit closer to
058the work as well. Yeah. And I think that um you know with with that I know that in um Salem Kaiser where I work they they already are a committee that reports to the superintendent. But um you know like tomorrow I will be doing a share out similar to this. I might just steal your presentation. Um similar to to the school board, right? And so there's there's a way to be able to engage in both things with the um the autonomy and the ability to change, you know, the the agendas on the fly, you know, things like that where it's it's not um held to public meeting laws. So, uh, you know, I don't know what we we'll talk and we'll see what uh what we'd have to do in order to change all of
059that, but it's it's codified in law, I think. So, um, there might not be much that we need to do. But any questions or comments? I was going to say I, for one, would be very sad if you'd no longer made this annual presentation to the board because I find it fascinating. It's as a board member, I find it very useful to hear from other members of community members as you know about what their perspective on how we're doing is. And so I would I would be a fool to not welcome yet another perspective or to say no, don't show me that one anymore. That would simply not be I did have one question. Um you mentioned um you were talking about when you were talking about twe students that they felt disconnected by from
060the rest of the school. Was that primarily high school students or did you hear that also from middle school? It was primarily high school. Yes. So I understand like with high school as like the first class that is graduating all the way through the TWE program that there there are some growing pains. So, um, you know, the the hope is that as the other classes come up through the program that those growing pains will be fixed a little bit more and that some of these concerns or issues will be, uh, remedied. So, would you say it's fair to attribute it primarily to growing pains as they're as that first class is going through? I think it's possible. Yeah. So, it's just something to be aware of and and keep keep our eye on. Okay. Thank
061you. Yeah. I think with our first tweet class finally graduating this year, um those growing pains are going to get, you know, smoother in terms of like the um the benefit that being a twe student uh has. And so I'm really hopeful that those things just kind of get ironed out. Anybody else? Just a big general question. What do you see as the biggest impact of this committee? I mean, we we do see it. So, again, I think the I'll be honest. I think the cabinet round table right now is where I've seen the biggest impact so far. I think that's where I've seen the biggest connection of us being able to provide feedback and seeing response to the feedback. Um, so you know, again, I use I know I use culture and climate as
062the example, but other departments have done the same thing, right? So they're not the only ones. So I think being able to provide that those recommendations and then receive that that response that they're being worked on, I I think that's the the greatest impact. Yeah, I want to say, you know, thank you for all of the effort that you guys put into this report and for all of the efforts that you guys put into all those nine meetings that um that you had because it's definitely important for you all to come and tell us what um what we should be on on the lookout uh to make things more equitable for our students. Um I do want to you know acknowledge what you were saying that yes we do need to put a system in
063place for reviewing these recommendations and having the um a process to make those um you know not like make the recommendations come come to us and then us passing them over to the superintendent. But now with this new change, now that you'll be able to make the recommendations directly to the superintendent, I think that's going to be um a a a better way for you all to make that um have that advocacy and have that um change take place. And um I'm sorry that um I thought there was EA EAC members that sat on the policy subcommittees, but uh we should make that definitely something that should happen. Um should definitely have those um have you guys at the table when that's happening. Um, but I, you know, I I do appreciate all of your
064um all of your recommendations and when we were going through the zip plans, I I did get a a sense that we were kind of overlooking our each um plans. And so I do I do appreciate you bringing that to our attention because we we will need to um make sure that we are putting more of an emphasis on them. They I mean people work hard on them so we should be able to review them. Um Director Wesson, do you have anything? Um well, thank you for all the work that this um group has has been doing and um I I feel like others have made a lot of good comments too. Uh so thank you for all the good work. Awesome. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. All right. And with that,
065we'll move on to our next report and discussion item of item D, SRO presentation with Director Jarvis Gomez and our chiefs of police and uh our SRO's. Welcome everybody. Good evening. Uh thanks uh for having our uh two police departments here tonight. Uh we are in the midst of working on our agreement RGA with the two cities. Uh but every year our SROS do come and present some data. Uh this year we do have both of our chiefs, Chief Pickering from Talton and Chief McDonald from Tiger. And then our two SRO's to my right and left is from Talton, Brian Miller. And to my left, your right, is John Mory. They'll they'll do most of the talking. Uh tonight, uh it's just mostly want to say give gratitude for our partnership that we have because
066uh it is pretty amazing. If you haven't uh seen these two in action, it's pretty amazing. And the other thing I want to say that's pretty cool is both of our chiefs were um SRO's in our school district as well. So they know they know it all. Uh we're going to start with Twin. Uh Brian's going to start off. Actually, I'll give it to Chief Pickering to give some comments and then he can turn it over to Brian. Well, good evening and thank you uh for the opportunity. Um I'm a product of PTSD. Um, and uh, my first experience that I can recall with an SRO was actually in the hallowed halls of Tali Junior High at the time as a seventh grade student walking in and being confronted by officer Randy Capus who uh,
067was a police officer from the city of Talton who was one of the first SRO's in the district back in then. Um, he made a huge impact on me personally and my growth. Um, actually was one of the ones who solidified that I wanted to be a police officer. Um it was it was a huge partnership back then back in 1987 when that occurred. Uh and one that we've seen continued through uh all the way through uh with my experience being at SRO and the partnership that comes with it uh and now being the chief of the police department in Talton. uh to see that the work that our officers do on a daily basis to connect with the kids, to connect with the community um and the the impact that they do have um
068throughout not just this the schools that they they deal with, but with the community themselves and the the partnership that they bring um to the students and even to the parents and to the staff that are there in the schools. So, I appreciate the partnership that we have with the district. I think it's one that's been strong for many years and one that we we are uh very invested in and believe in. Um, you know, we we send you some of our best. Uh, we select and we ca we carefully hand select those that we send to be our representatives of the police department in the schools. Um, so much so that we've extended u our one of our assignments to a 10-year assignment because of the knowledge and skill that these officers bring uh
069to the district and dealing with the kids uh and the true impact that they do have. So, uh again, I want to say thank you for the partnership and thank you for uh the work that we do together to make this community and our kids feel safe. All right. Well, thank you for having me. Um, who's running the slides here? Okay, there we are. Lisa, I I think we want to go through these uh fairly quickly. I I probably won't go through every slide, so you can go on to the next. So, S12 and SRO were dedicated by making a difference in the lives of our student by ensuring um each child feel safe in the classroom envir environment, promoting an open door policy for all students, interacting with students in a positive way every
070day, and supporting the staff and community. You can go to the next slide. So, these are just some of the events that uh Daniel, Officer Hernandez, and I attended throughout the school year. I won't read through every one of those. And we'll go into You can go to the next slide, Lisa. And one more. So, here's our uh combined total reports for this past school year. There should be one more. There it goes. So, we had uh there was 47 different offense incident reports, 10 arrest reports, um 33 supplemental reports, and two juvenile referrals. That juvenile referral is basically um we list those in situations where um there's a request for a report to be written, but um maybe the maybe the issue incident rose to a criminal level, but uh it's really should be
071handled as a school-based issue, but there was request a report be generated. Um go back one slide. These are just this is just a graph showing our school year just um the different types of reports that um were generated and classifications and how many of reports for each category. And then here's a more in-depth look at the the actual offenses. Um, if you have any questions, specific questions regarding any of those uh offenses, you can ask. And this is a more detailed list. Uh, I know it came up pretty small in this slide, but um, you know, that just outlines all the, uh, offenses and then, uh, the suspect's race, the victim's race, the sex. Um, and then here's just a more in-depth breakdown of the victims and suspects by race. You go to the
072next slide. Next. One more. These are just the arrest referrals that were made to the juvenile department. You go to next. This is a pretty good slide. It just kind of shows the five-year trend of all the juvenile arrests. Um kind of a spike in 2022. um 2021 2022 that kind of postcoid uh schools were a little bit chaotic that year. So is the data here for 2025 complete or was it did you have to cut it off mid year? Is this for the full school year? This is for the full school year. And this is by school year, not calendar year. Yep. just September to June. I try to get as close as I can. Um I think it was June 10th maybe. 12, you know, 12 students in all of our student body
073as far as Twin goes resulted in a juvenile referral arrest. You know, I think that's just a a result of just being able to, you know, I know at 12 high school where we work primarily just working closely with administrators and low-level offenses and being able to educate students and families, you know, of the really what could the the potential consequences if the actions continue. and you know being able to talk with victims families and be able to talk through incidents and assure them that you know we're going to be able to handle this in a different manner rather than through the juvenile system. So getting creative with parents and families. That's it. I want to uh just highlight one thing really quick that Brian just mentioned is that the um the rest of referrals
074was was 12. And even when I was at 12 in high school, that would probably have been uh quadrupled. Um and the the reason I say that is the work that we do now as with our SROS and administrators and our kids is to try to find other avenues to curb the behavior, right? And not go into the juvenile system. So those 12 are probably ones that needed, lack of better terms, got to a point where um they tried all those other things first. Um, I'm going to hold off if you are okay with the questions and let um, Tiger go and then we'll save questions for the end. So, I'm going to give this to Chief McDonald real quick. Good evening. Uh, thank you all for having us here. Um, Chief Pickering said it
075really well about the partnership that we have with uh, TTSD. And then something that we have that's very fortunate here in Tiger and Toalatin is the relationship between our police departments as well. We have worked very closely together for a very long time. And even though our cities are quite different when you take a look at them, we work uh almost in unison as police departments, which is pretty remarkable. Um, we're all here tonight as a result of work that we did with the district, the police departments, uh, some of the board members, uh, uh, board member Zerse was there, u, Dr. Zia Un was a part of a work group that we did a few years ago when we took a look at the school resource officer program and made some adjustments. And one
076of the things that came out of that was a report back to to the school board each year to let you all know where this landed. Um the talk about uh trying to keep kids out of the criminal justice system is real. It's one of the primary focuses that we have, both of our police departments do when we're working with kids because we know that kids can be turned in the right direction. their frontal loes have not developed all the way right and we have an opportunity to correct that behavior and fix it before it goes the wrong way and I'll share a personal story from when I was an SRO so back in 2006 I was selected to uh to be an SRO here in Tiger program was a little bit different at the
077time we taught Darren great in the schools and that was my primary responsibility but when I wasn't doing that I was assigned to assist the high school SRO and down there there was a young man that found himself in the office quite often for minor school level offenses and I struck up a conversation with him as we do as SRO's that's how you get to know the kids is to start talking to them and he was super standoffish didn't want to talk to the police for a variety of reasons that I found out um over the next four years or three and a half years and he and I got to build a relationship and over time I saw less and less of him in the office he'd come by let me know he got
078a new job uh he was uh having some success in his school classes and things like that, which I can tell you as a freshman he was not having. And uh I got promoted to sergeant about uh twothirds of the way through my senior year, I'll call it, at Tiger High. And uh he was one of a few students that I called out of class to let him know that I was getting promoted and that I wouldn't be at the school anymore. So uh he actually started to cry, gave me a great big hug, and congratulated me and off he went. Um, a couple of years ago, I just happened to be at the office in the evening. It's about this time, 7:30 in the evening, and our front desk staff says, I was a
079commander at the time. Hey, Commander McDonald, there's somebody here in the lobby to see you. Well, that's odd. I shouldn't even be here right now, but I was. So, I went out there and here was this young man with his wife and his two little girls. And he said to me, he goes, "I wanted you to meet my family." His mom still lives here in Tiger. He lives in Salem, works in construction, and his wife gave me a great big hug and said, "Thank you." He's told me all about you and everything you did for him. I don't even really know what I did, but that's what the impact of the SRO program has with the students in this district because they get to know the students and you don't know the impact that you
080might be having years later. But apparently it was enough that this young man wanted to come back and meet wanted his family to meet me because I made an impact somehow at some point that resonated with him. And that's the impact that these gentlemen have the ones that are in the schools working every day. I know they do because I hear we have two brand new SRO as you heard from your previous presenters and I can assure you this they are both fantastic people and they love kids and they're going to build the same relationships. So you can continue to see those same types of stories being built that we may never hear as time goes on, but there are countless of those out there. So I'll stop talking. I'll let John does a good
081job talking, too. So thanks, I guess. So I'm John. Uh been so my end of my sixth year. I have two years left of my assignment. I'll be at the high school at Tiger for the last two years. They moved me up there. Anyways, so we'll start with the our uh our stats. So we wrote uh there's there was three SROs. We wrote a total of 114 reports uh between the three of us. Um obviously you can read that 106 of those were original reports and eight of those are supplements which is an additional report on top of another report we've previously written or or another officer has written. Um out of those you can see the numbers there primarily DHS referrals is the big one there. Um that's a big part of what we
082do. suspicious circumstances. Another big one and kind of disorderly conduct, assault, harassment, kind of a common fighting. Um, another another one we write as well. So, you can see those. Let's move on. There we are doing hot dogs at the first day of school. Have to narrate that. There we are posing. Um, so little little more of the reports uh that we written. This is continued uh different things we we wrote reports on. Um, again, if you have questions about those, I probably don't know what all those are. I might know what some of them are, but um, you have questions about what those generally mean or anything, we can answer those at the end. Next slide. So, we wrote uh, between the three SRO, we wrote we made zero arrests uh, at at the
083school level. We had 15 referrals, which are not like school referrals. They're a little different. That's when we refer a report to the juvenile department for them to make a decision on what to do with what we write up. Um, so we we had 15 of those between the three of us where we send it off to the juvenile department. Sometimes that results in community service or some sort of diversion or sometimes TVFNR's fire program which is really great if you have any issues with that. Um and sometimes it does result in an arrest. Um but we we referred 15 uh reports out to the juvenile department with that and you can it breaks it down there. Um I think the slide got a little goofy obviously with the all the different categories there but
084on the top you can see that they're broken down by race at the top. Um and it also lists victim and and who the reporter was. I there was also another slide to this. I think if you look at it though um all 15 of those were not initiated by us. There were where the school came to us and said hey we have an issue. This is what we have. Can you help us with this? So this not something that we went out looking for trouble and found. They were all um issues that the school brought to us. They all say school sometimes these all sort of parents that can come to us as well with hey my kid had this happen as well. Um next slide. I think it's just a continu. Yeah continuation
085of those. Again they're kind of got weird spacing on that one. And then there's some more great photos of people doing great things. All right, any questions, comments, questions? So, I just wanted to um say I am grateful that for both of your departments, the most common referral was a DHS. Um that's helping a kid who's suffering in some way, shape, or form. Um, and we we've said it a bunch of times, but that's the primary reason we want to have the SRO's in our schools to make sure our kids get the services that they need that for whatever reason we can't provide to them. So, thank you for that. The second thing is I was connecting the dots from two different presentations today and now I'm really wondering how many of our kids who
086on that survey said that there was an adult in the building who they trusted and who they knew cared about them. How many of them were talking about an SRO? And I wish I had that statistic. All of them. Probably. Yes. Anyways, thank you very much both for the report and for the work you're doing with our kiddos every day. Thank you for your work. Um, I know a couple of years ago in Hazelbrook, there was a time when um when your folks were really uh key to making sure that our students felt safe and helping that school um come back together. and um uh my daughter was there at the time. So really appreciate your work there and just being willing both of your both of um your programs to to step in and
087being ready to do that and then just being one of those caring adults that students have at all times to check in on them. We know that just positive presence um in the hallways to say glad you're here today and hi and just you know like either know your name or your face or that somebody a student knows your name or face is uh really positive and encouraging for students to come to school. Um so um thank you for caring about kids and um and wanting to see them stay in school and um wanting to encourage um and wanting to see those referrals go down. Um, you know, we talk all the time about like wanting kids to be in school and feeling included and um those positive behavior supports and hearing you talk about
088um encouragement of that as well is um is really encouraging. Thank you for your support. Thank you, director. Thank you so much for the well done presentation. I really appreciated the stories shared and uh thank you for serving and protecting in in our schools. Just want to say thank you for being here tonight and also thank you so much for your partnership. I've been um in high school administration uh dating back to 2011 and before that I was a a teacher in high school. And so I've seen the way that the the job and the role of the SRO has changed over the last 15 or so years. And I've also seen how much more complex it is. And every time that I'm in the schools here and on any schools I go to, but
089here with the SRO program, especially since 2020, I've seen um you all be present, positively engaging with students, leading with relationship, um being available to students, and I just want to say thank you for for demonstrating a model of what it's really about to have a strong law enforcement relationship in our schools. that's so valuable and meaningful not only to our students but to our community and it's a relationship we don't take for granted. So, thank you so much and I look forward to seeing you out in the buildings and at events. Thank you. Yeah. Um I also want to echo that. I think that um I want to piggyback on what uh Chief McDonald had said about um you know the the board members and um Dr. UN that uh really um came together
090and you guys took the you know that antibbias training that she was offering and um and you all came together to be able to um really understand like the equitable practices that we do here in um Tiger Twitin. And so, um, I I really appreciate that. As you guys know, uh, I mean, you probably know, but like when when I was first running for for school board, I always said like, wait, why are we having SRO's in school, right? Um, one of the things that really surprised me about our our program is the fact that you all were doing that, you know, you all were doing the work. You were doing um you were doing that work to make sure that our students and our families felt safe being um being with you. and and
091I really appreciate that because it really changed my mindset of how um an SRO program can be run in in districts and I really think that if you haven't taken your show on the road with uh with director, you guys should because um it's it's really worth worth it that you have that um that presentation to to give to everybody else. like you you are definitely um something that other SRO programs should be um uh just wanting to be like, you know, it's definitely I' I've gone into the schools and I've seen you guys and they're like kids just gravitate to you and and it's amazing. Uh so I really appreciate that. Um anything else? All right. Well, thank you for your time. [Laughter] Well, thank you for being here. Yes. Um, and with that,
092we'll move on to our next item on our agenda, which is action items. Charlton Elementary School metal roof overlay with director Bernard and friends. My sidekick here, of course. Good evening, board superintendo. Um, what we're bringing before you tonight is a 12th elementary school metal roof overlay. And so, we went through a recently went through a roofing um bid process and it was a and through a co-op. And the company that came out, there's three qualified biders. company came out on top was TNL sheet metal roofing. And so the project really is going to be over two summers. One beginning this summer, we have a very actively leaking roof at Boston Elementary over the gym, the fairly newly refinished gym floor last year. And so whenever we get rain, there's big puddles there. And so
093we've tried over several years to find to get it repaired and spent lots of money on it and they just can't they cannot get it tracked down. So um we will be doing a metal roof overlay over the gym section this summer and be a two-part project. The next summer the rest of the school would be completed. And so what we're bringing forth to you is um a contract to award the TTNL sheet metal um in amount not to exceed 1,98,98. Thank you for that. Any questions or comments? So 12 elementary is actually one of our newer elementaryaries at only 21 years old. Um, did we have a 20-year roof on that when we built it or did something go very wrong? I would Kevin, you want to speak to that? It's more of a
094residential roof. Yeah. So, uh, to D to Darren's point, um, it is a residential roof on there. It's an architectural shingle. Um, no one can really find any warranty information on it. What is happening is the shingles are failing. uh they're they're uh on the gym. What our best guess is that the way the wind patterns are, the tar strip has just degraded to a point where the wind when I was in a driving wind rain situation, it's lifting the tabs of the shingles. Um I've been on the roof multiple times and can literally just reach down and grab and peel up shingles from underneath uh with my hand. I should not be able to do that. Um there's a lot of granular loss on the shingles as well and the installation is a little
095bit uh marginal. I would say from what I see on on the roof. Um the main portion of the building we probably would maybe get another five years out of it. Um, and a a 30-year architectural shingle um to get 25 years is pretty much about end of life. It's real similar to um the shingles that we had at Alberta Ryder um which was again to your point same vintage of schools being constructed. Uh we redid that roof last summer with the same system because we were having we've struggled with active loops on that school as well. Do we have any other schools then in that same age group that have similar roofs that we're going to need to be looking at in the future? Those are the only two that have the residential uh
096style shingles on them. The rest of them either have a combination of builtup roofing uh which is our standard or metal roofing. Um so that uh for whatever reason of the four schools that were built during that that era um Alberta Ryder and Twolitan Elementary got the asphalt shingles on. And so then I assuming that we can take this as a lesson learned for our bond now going forward that we're not going to be doing architectural shingles on roofs. It is very u p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p predominantly called out in our district standards. Now I'm so very glad to
097hear that. Anyone else learned so much about uh roofing now? Okay, perfect. Um if there is no more discussion, I would entertain a motion. I move to a Oh, director Wesson. I move to award TTNL sheet metal inc for the toolin elementary metal roof overlay project for an amount not to exceed 1,98,98. Is there a second? Second. Perfect. With a motion and a second, I would like to entertain a um Oh, is there any discussion on the motion? There we go. No. All right, then I'd like to entertain a vote. All those in favor, please say I. I. I. All opposed. All right. Motion passes. And with that, that takes us to the end of our meeting. And I'll uh call to adjourn this meeting at uh 7:55.
