001I developed a really good relationship with a college in Florida with some Native American curriculum. So they've shipped over some of that which is I've used in my class. That was an example two years ago that happened. This year we never know exactly who's going to be at the expo. But the biggest companies in America generally are there and the convention itself is like unbelievable. like as far as remembering if you've ever gone, you don't forget. And um the opportunities there are great. Some of these guys will talk about like some of the tours and stuff that will go on before the convention itself. Who wants to talk about the some of the museums or history stuff? >> Man, you guys are want to talk. Yeah, >> the paper >> there's nothing. >> Okay, >>
002I'm sorry, guys. So, um >> All right. One of the things we're going to go to agricultural industry tours. Uh we're going to check out we'll be in Kentucky for part of it. So we're going to check out some horse farms over there because that's a huge part of Kucky's agriculture. And many people that are going have never ridden a horse. So we're going to try to do a horseback ride, which I think is a really good opportunity to learn kind of what it used to be like to appreciate those tractors and stuff that Joe does well on. Um and some of the other students that have done it like Stephen he he was our beginning champion last year at district. So uh over there too eastern part of the United States has a lot
003more history as far as um the United States of America governmental history. And so uh if Frankfurt's open they might be closed. We we'll do a capital tour of their capital in Kentucky if uh but right now it's under con construction so it might not be done by the time we go there. And then we hit the Indianapolis state, the Indiana State Capital in Indianapolis. They have a memorial there for World War II soldiers and it's focused on the World War II and there's a lot of educational things there about World War II and then some other wars, but that's their main focus is World War II on that memorial. I've personally gone there and it's pretty moving to see how much happened during World War II from that that place. And then they have
004a sailors and soldiers memorial that's right in the middle of town. It's like a 300 foot tall tower as a memory of people that um fought in the Civil War and um other engagements of the older history. Um there's multiple museums that we're going to try to hit. There's a walking museum called Connor Prairie. It's like they're living in that era of the 1700s and you say things like we're from Oregon, they'll be like, "What's Oregon? We've never heard of that." Because they're still in their role of that history. So, it's a pretty good good opportunity to see agricultural practices in the really old days, which we'll be thankful for our modern stuff. Otherwise, we wouldn't be feeding the world like we are now if we hadn't improved since that time. But, it's really good
005memory on that stuff. So, what do you guys want to say? Um, as far as what you're excited about personally, your names, >> we pause for a second, guys. Take a deep breath. Go. >> We are here for you guys. Don't be nervous to talk to us, okay? We want to hear from you guys. What you guys have to say is valuable and it's not wrong. So, don't feel like you're going to say something that you shouldn't. What are you guys excited for to go on convention? And it could be as simple as I'm going out of the airport for the first time. >> Yeah. No, I definitely uh I like going to different states and I've only ever been to Arizona and I drove to Washington before and uh this year you said we
006might do something about paintballing zombies because we're going to be over Halloween. >> Yeah, during Halloween and just dressing up for Halloween in general is going to be great because it's my favorite holiday. It's unfortunate that I'm not going to be able to do it home with my friends, but it's going to be fun to do it and away they'll probably >> Yeah. I don't know. It's gonna be great. >> This guy said he's just at the Waluigi. I'm excited. >> Anybody else? Thank you guys. >> I'm excited for the plane ride. I've only been My longest plane ride was like three hours and that one's like six. stuff. I don't know if they will all work. We'll be excited when we go on the next Monday. >> Uh so we have a total of
007nine nine students now going uh and myself and two chef rooms as far as our overall trip. So who else wants to add what they're excited for? Sadly, these two closest to me are not going. There are officer teammates up here representing How about you introduce your guys' names at least? >> I'm Kaya Sven. Um, I am a junior 11th grade >> and treasurer >> and the treasurer of the Willamana FF chapter. >> Yeah. >> Hi, I'm Rosco Owens. Uh, grade 10. I'm a part of the cher. >> I'm Key Bagby and I'm a sophomore and this is my first year. Um, I'm Madison Vander. I'm a senior and this is my first year in this chapter. >> I'm Steven Heler and I'm a sophomore in the well chapter. >> I'm Jess Goodwin and I'm
008a junior. Uh my name is Titus K S. I am the reporter for the MFA uh chapter, this one at least. Um I am a junior. Most of you know me that my name is Helms and I am the junior officer of the B minor chapter. I'm second grade. >> My name is Jane Anderson. I'm the president of our chapter and I'm in my junior year high school. >> Hi. Uh we just came from volleyball. Uh my name is Rebecca Nie and I am the vice president of the Wilmont chapter. I am also your lower will district secretary. Um I also just came from volleyball practice and my name is Elizabeth Nie and I am your willina FFA. >> So any questions? We're hoping to get some funds to help with the trip. We're at
009about $1,800 cost per person. uh after we thought it was going to be more, but we've done a few deals on a few things that were nice to hear from. I mean, when you're planning it in April and you're guessing I we were guessing 2500, but we're at 1,800 now. So, uh that's kind of why we're here. And also to answer questions and these kids are really awesome. They're just really shy today and I don't know why because I can't. So, >> can can I ask um when you went to the conference um what was the coolest thing that you saw? >> What was something that like made you inspired to maybe be a farmer or go into agriculture, anything? >> Some of them have gone to the state convention, but this is the national
010convention. Uh, well, Rebecca actually has been as she was an officer. She did it her freshman year, so she's the only student that's gone. >> Oh, okay. >> So, >> and what could you tell them to expect? >> Oh, it was it's so cool. You imagine it being completely different, but it looks a lot like the place that we are. Uh, but then you see there are a lot of differences. Like the farmland is different. And we went through Kentucky and seeing all of the like the thoroughbred farms there, that was something that really stood out to me. It was really cool. And I can't wait for us to be able to experience that again. >> He's going to the chamber on Wednesday. >> So, how many of you have experience living on a farm?
011About half of you. And what kinds of farms um do you have? Um, I raise goats, cattle, poultry, and horses. Um, and we raise our goats and chickens for meat and then the cows and the other chickens for egg and milk. >> That's incredible. And do you do some of the work? >> Um, I do a lot with the goats and the chickens. Um, I show livestock through 4 and FFA. So, um, I have a herd of 40 goats that I um produce for me and then showing. So, >> what is your biggest challenge uh raising those goats? >> Um probably being able to work with all the ones that I need to in order to be able to get into the show ring. >> Anyone else? >> I live on a 25 acre hobby
012farm. So, I have five cows that we're going to use for breeding and meat. I raise pigs, too. Um, I also have show chickens, laying chickens, meat chickens. I own I own and show fiber goats. And we also own lots of dogs and cats. >> Very nice. >> And two horses. >> And what is your biggest challenge on your farm? >> Probably being able to shear all of my goats um every six months. We have, I think, three that need to be sheared. and being in this club, do you guys talk about your challenges and things um of ways to maybe um help? Yeah, >> it's good. It's good to have a community. So past practice is um when um the kids have come and done a presentation for national conviction or whatever the board
013has designated a a monetary um amount to donate to their um field trip or conference. So um that'll be on next board agenda um for you to make that decision. um work together with the business manager and find out how much um it's allowable for that and um someone can make a a request to do that. >> Very nice. >> If uh somebody wanted to make a donation to the FFA convention, how would they go about doing that? >> The probably the best as far as paperwork goes to Chris and if it's a check and FFA to go to Chris's our ch because then that's where we'll send the money back out. Um, and if it's for a specific individual that you're wanting to help out, it's probably better to just give them the money
014to help with that. Uh, but if you wanted the tax write off, you'd go through and then we would have to tag that through that. >> I think that's the best. You guys do any sort of fundraising to try and raise money for the national conference? >> Yeah. Uh we we did you guys want to talk about some of the things we fundraised because you guys have helped a lot with a lot of those. >> Uh we usually do the concessions for the volleyball games and the basketball games. We don't do the football games because that's someone else. Um we uh help out with group. I'm not sure that's fundraising, but we help out for that. Um, >> you want to talk about a couple of the ones we did? >> Oh, yeah. We also
015do mud jacks. We also sell ice. We sell ice cream. >> Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, we sell ice uh down at the Wildwood Fair. That was But we sell ice down there and made a little bit of a profit there. We did lines. We painted lines for the Cole County Fair. >> Painted lines for the Cole County Fair. Seems like my blind mind is blank. We've done multiple multiple fundraisers. It's just not thinking right now. Set of pins at the um eggfest at the state fair fairgrounds for eggfest. Uh we've oh community service. We do lots of community service things too, but we that's not payment. Um and then we have some other ones planned. We're doing uh concession stands for a couple concession stands during volleyball this year. And we're also going to do
016the September mud drags. We have um I think there's a pow out that we might sell soft drinks at. Uh we haven't finalized that. Um there was what else is >> Oh, car wash. We'll probably throw a car wash. >> You guys are >> We also I think we're planning to do like a bingo night, too. >> Oh, >> yeah. So, October 11th. Um if you see a calendar, it might say auction, but we change it to a bingo. And so that is it's going to our chapter, but the biggest biggest thing it's going for is nationals. Um, and so we're trying to figure out a few little details, but uh it's October 11th, uh, in the evening. So if you guys want to, >> we're hoping to have a dinner and bingo and then
017there's going to be prizes and then potentially raffles and stuff like that on October 11th. And that's going to help with scholarships for graduating seniors and the national women's trip I think are the two big focuses on that money raise. Do >> you have a location for that yet? >> It's either going to be at the BFW or we haven't finalized. >> That's that's a big one. Yes, that one's huge. >> All right. >> So, thank you guys. >> Thank you guys for coming. Thank you. Good job, guys. Okay, now we're ready to move to the consent agenda. Any questions about the consent agenda? If there's not any questions, I will enter a motion. >> I'll move approval of the consent item. >> Second. >> And moved and seconded to approve the consent agenda as
018presented. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries. Um, moving on to our superintendent votes. >> All right. First, I want to introduce this fine young gentleman next to me. He's our student report student representative, Evan. I'm going to say it. Loia lo. Um, so he is he is my first meeting. Uh, and he'll get to talk here in just a minute. Um, my board of education report. I added a couple pictures to the cover. They weren't in your packet. These are new robotic units that we just started with. Um, and uh, our kids had those in the hall today and raising those up and down and print out and code and program and put those together. So, um, one of the things we did in an effort to
019plug some of the open periods that kids had in their schedule is we created some more electives and one of those is robotics and and uh seems to be a pretty engaging opportunity uh for for our high school kids. So, that was exciting to see today. Um, you know, we are we are three weeks into our new school year. Things are going uh really well. I'm I'm impressed with our students coming back. Um they picked up kind of right where we left off. Um we are in the pretty much got all our schedules changed. We are looking for some efficiencies in our schedule like we have some classes that are super small and we're looking like is that a good use of that personnel or can we do something uh different but for the most
020part we are we are locked in and rolling. Um, we have Amelia here who give us a little bit of a construction update, but um, we did kind of a final we actually have things you can look at now and kind of visualize what we're going to do. Um, we did hit a a bit of a hiccup with our soils report. Um, we seem to have a lot of clay in this country and I think we found a large portion of that right where we want to build. So, we're in engineering uh, revisions right now. Um we do have a construction over a bond oversight committee. Uh we have four people and they will meet later at the end of the month with HMK facilitating that and their goal is really to make sure that
021we are spending the dollars on what the public uh voted for in that process. So we have we have uh four community members that'll kind of watchdog that that um can ask hard questions around budgets and uh those types of opportunities. Um, so we have that kind of third party look from our community. Um, we have a a Latino parent night coming up on the 24th. Um, and we do that uh with our EL director, our new Spanish teachers, our EL ELD director. Uh, and he will be to introduce him to our families. We do a little dinner. Uh, so if you want to come down and be a part of that, it's usually a pretty small intimate group. Um, but that meets in our cafeteria. Think that's it? 6 5:30 6 o'clock. If somebody's
022coming, I can get you the exact time. Um, we do have some surplus listed on the web. Uh, we have a truck, a trailer, a mower that needs a new starter. Like there's four or five big ticket items there. We're getting a little bit of qu uh people looking at. So, I want to plug that. he knows teenager looking for a 1980 two- wheelel drive Dodge truck that has 150,000 miles and the cassette player I can hook him up. Um the Bulldog Bash is October 2nd. It's also homecoming week and uh homecoming weekend will be that the 3rd of October. Um so it'll be a busy week here on campus, but if you've not been to the Bulldog Bash, I encourage you to come. It's a big community open house. Um, we serve I think
023it's hamburgers this year, right? >> Did we switch up? Yeah. >> Yeah, it's hamburgers this year. >> Uh, we usually have a band. Uh, we have lots of different things going on. Community libraries up here. It's kind of almost like a night out except on our campus. Um, and then, uh, the homecoming parade will be scheduled sometime that week. And if you've not been to the noise parade, uh that was a new one for me last year. Um so I challenged our alumni to enter a float uh this year because they were giving me the what back when I was in school. I said you this is your one chance, you know, put a float together next year. So we'll see if they they come through. Um, Safer Watch, Safer Watch is a new program
024that we're using on our campus that basically geo fences our campus. Um, and so principles and certain staff have an app on their phone that allows us that if we see uh, you know, gunman on campus, we can hold a button and it you have to hold it for five seconds. So, it's not like you can just kind of oops and it calls 911, but it'll send out a message specific to that particular incident, which basically it's 911 and the cavalry is coming in that process. If I punch it at home, I'm outside the geoence, so nothing happens. That makes sense. Um, so that's and it allows us to do different functions like we have um a teacher that needs some help um and let's say they got a medical issue with a student, they
025can hold that down and it alerts the appropriate people and gets ambulance coming. Uh, we've been working on it for about a year. It's across the county, Yamhill County. Um, so all the districts are on the same protocol which took a minute to get everybody kind of to agree on what it should be and then test it with dispatch. Are you guys on it as well? >> We're not. >> Yeah. So, you know, that way the county will be all responding because you know, you if you punch that button, it might be tribal police, it might be Yamh Hill County, might be Pulk County, might be a game warden, might be state police, but everybody's going to get that same information. Uh, and then they'll be typed dispatched through that. And, uh, gives us a
026way to communicate as well in that. Um, athletics are off and going. Uh we have lots of volleyball going this week. Uh Friday night uh Will Mina played Sheridan. We were successful there in football. We are going independent. So we're just kind of in a building process. But, you know, it's good when your kids can your young kids can win and your older kids uh can be good leaders and um you know, it it's going to be a it's going to be the right thing to do this year uh and uh kind of build that program and get kids back engaged. Um next month we'll have a presentation I'll give you on division 22. They're basically all the education requirements that I'm responsible to make sure that we carry out as a school district. Um,
027and so it's a pretty extensive uh report uh that I will have in your packet next month. Uh, and we kind of have to go through there and you have to approve it as a board um that I presented it to you and then it goes on our website. Um, you know, lots of things around curriculum and and different things like that. Cell phone update. Um, I I lost a lot of sleep this summer on cell phone. How that was going to go. Um, I think I've walked the classes every day and I can the most I've ever had to talk to as far as kids like, "Hey, put that away." Or now's not the time is maybe two in a day. Our kids have been really responsive to that. I don't know, Chris. I
028mean, you're classroom teacher guy. What have you seen? >> About the same. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Personally, I told them >> Yeah. Jeremy, this is Jeremy, our high new high school principal in case you haven't met. >> I just like far better than we ever envisioned. And I'm so happy that we implemented on day one versus January 1st. Yeah. 2026. >> Um and we just kind of went with a rule um versus a policy kind of start. Um, and I think that what I'm hearing across the because we were a year a week in earlier than everybody at a lot of schools. So, we kind of got a little bit of a road road test before everybody else rolled in. Um, my advice is I want to keep their policy pretty general because I guarantee
029you these schools like Portland Public, Salem Kaiser, they're going to put a lot of pressure on the legislature to kind of do something different because I've listened to the protocols they're using. They're using the yonder pouches, which just that, you know, the little concert pouch, put it in my, you know, just the process to get it out of school with yonder pouches. >> I think I would quit. Um, you know, and so I don't want teachers sitting there with $10,000 worth of phones on their desk because that's not fair to teachers. So, our kids have been super respectful and we really pushed being engaged. If kids are engaged in quality instruction, they don't have time to get on their phone. And so we've been kind of really going down that road and it seems to
030be kids. Our kids are good and respectful kids that you ask them to do something. Nine times out of ten they're going to do it. Um we were also watching our kids leaving campus and missing out on lunch to go do the phone thing and we're not really seeing that. Um I have Lynn tracking kind of numbers compared to last year and right now we're not seeing a huge discrepancy there. Um, we do have some different things like paninis and things that I think are keeping kids on campus uh that are kind of fun for kids to eat. So, I'm I'm I'm super excited about how our our kids and staff have responded to the cell phones. Um, our irrigation is off on the campus due to the river flow. Uh, they called the water
031rights on on whatever we are. So, we watered like heck last weekend the best we could and we're kind of victim of the rain at this point or until the flows increased. So, if you get complaints that our our uh campus is not as green as it usually is, our football field's a little harder than usual, it's kind of where we're at in the world with the water situation. Um, we will be working on our curriculum cycle this year. We'll get that going with leadership team. Um, we talked about looking for efficiencies on schedule. Um, we are fully hired, which is good to go. Um, Lisa and I did a Lisa did a comparison because I I did a lot of maneuvering this year. Um, and I think I was within a point three of
032a teacher FTE from what she had projected in the spring to what we actually hired. Um, so we were in good shape there. And we already talked about homecoming weekend. I put the enrollment report in your uh packet was dated 93. I ran it again today and you can kind of see we fluctuate. We go from 810 to 790. Today we're at 795. Um and so typically um we projected our enrollment and reported to the state last spring. We thought we'd be right around that 796. So we're right there. Um we did get quite a few kindergarteners. Um, but we'll also start into our 10day drops, which means if the kid hasn't been here, we haven't seen a kid for 10 days and they get dropped. Um, and so that'll affect our number a little
033bit, but we're looking for one more maybe surge of people trying to get situated and and they went somewhere and they're not happy with the way it's setting up in that process. So, we may get a little more bump, but we're kind of right where we thought we would be, which is good. Uh, because our finances for uh district are based on ADM average daily membership. Any questions on that? Okay, I'm going to get out of this and get Sarah's presentation up. >> You got it. >> Perfect. You have a hard copy of this in front of you as well. Um, >> not doing the full screen thing. >> Well, start talking at all. >> All right. >> Good or good evening. I'm Sarah Norwood. I'm the elementary principal. Um Shannon Watkins is our vice
034principal at the elementary. Um don't have a whole lot of data but I I do have a little bit and I'll share it with you. Um we had a really good inservice with our teachers. I can start there. Um we asked them to create a vision for the school. Um so they did. >> Needed in slideshow mode. I'm in share mode here. >> Sorry Mike. Oh, it's in a PDF. >> Sorry. Just go for it. Will it work? >> Just scroll through. >> Yeah, just scroll through. You're good. They've got it in front of them, too. >> Okay. Um, so it was important for us to kind of figure out where we're headed with all of our kids every day. Um, so they came up with our vision in our Willa Elementary community. We strive
035to create an inclusive and safe learning environment in which the power of yet is embraced, everyone's identity is respected, and everyone has the agency to be a lifelong learner. Um, and we focused a lot on agency, and that's kind of our next one that ties in with our core values is kind of empowering kids to be in charge of their own learning. So, really helping them to understand what they know and what they don't know and to kind of take charge. Um, so we came up with some core values that help our students to build agency. Um, efficacy, I can make a difference. Um, mastery, we're right there. I can build knowledge and demonstrate understanding. Belonging, I see myself and I am seen and loved. And identity, my ways of being, learning, and knowing are
036valued here. So, um, we spent a lot of time with this and just kind of determining what we wanted for our kids and what we wanted the feeling in the building to be. and really bumping up our culture. Um, in terms of professional goals for the year, we're really going to be working with our teachers on tier one instructional strategies. So, our tier one is the instruction that happens in the classroom. And for the past few years, we've done a lot of work with um interventions. So, what happens when a kid um has some skill gaps? Um what happens then? Um, but by doing this we kind of realized we need to go back to the classroom and try to get less kids into intervention, which is working really good, but we got to keep
037them where we can for now. Um, so this year we're going to be focusing on um five instructional strategies. Target, student accountability, motion and movement, pacing and proximity, and data tracking, and what we tell our teachers, every student, every lesson, every time. Um, so they are they are off and running. They're on a good trajectory. Um, we did walkthroughs today. Um, just they've got the kind of the the back to school, the get to know you under their belt and today it was all about curriculum. Um, so they're looking pretty good. But that's what we're going to be focusing on um this year. As far as indicators for progress, um, these are just some of the the highlights that we're going off of that I'm going to share with you. I'll be back. I usually
038come back January or February um and I'll have a lot more data. So, right now it's just kind of the baseline and to give you an idea of what we're tracking. Um but that includes enrollment, attendance, family engagement, behavior, literacy, and this year. Um I'll touch back on it in a little bit. Um we're really focusing on mathematics. I will say it's not they haven't released it yet, but our elementary across the board last year saw close to 10% increases in reading and math, you know, at the tested grade level. So, they're doing the right work. >> The arrows are moving in the right direction. Can I share that? We only had one go down. >> Yeah, we had one arrow that was pointing down and that was class size. We actually have less kids
039in per class than the average, >> which is awesome. And it helps us. >> That's a win. That's even That's an up down arrow. >> It was It was the perfect arrow to go down. >> Um, so this is actually our current enrollment, unless it changed today. We're still just shy of that 10day drop, so there will be a little bit of fluctuation. Um, you can see our kindergarten though. Um, it is just a very tiny class. >> Um, tiny but mighty. we got their temples results back and there's a lot of um kids that are just ready to go in there. So, it's really exciting. It's a good group of kids. Um third grade is kind of busting its seams at the moment, but they're handling it. Um yeah, other than that, they're pretty
040pretty level. Second, fourth, and fifth all have the same numbers. Um as of a few days ago, this was our monthly enrollment for August and so I'll fill those in as we go down. Um the next one is just a sample. It was really hard to pull data on nine days um of who's here, but I wanted to show you just what it looks like to track the data. Um so one of the things that we do is is to determine who is chronically absent. Um and just as we would for literacy or math or behavior, we really focus on those kids that become at risk. So, anytime their attendance dips to less than 80% of the time, those are the kids we really need to kind of intervene with. Um, if they're in the
041yellow, that's kind of when they start to go on our radar. Okay, what what can we do to help prevent this kiddo um from dipping down into the red before it becomes too late. Um, so we do have Rebecca Arerodondo on staff who's a tribal attendance family advocate and uh we meet weekly to talk about who's here and who's not. Um, and really what supports can we do with the family to reach out and help them whether it's an alarm clock or a ride every Wednesday because the family is going different places in different directions. Um, anything they need, we try to intervene and just get their kids here. One of the one of the things I will add is um to be chronically absent a kid can only miss 16 days this you know
042so it's basically three full weeks. We have kids that will miss twice almost two and a half times what that is. And sometimes a kid can do that and still pass. And sometimes a kid can do that and it's like they're pretty much where they're at based on the instruction that they've attended school for. And you do that over multiple years. Um you know that's an impact. The other thing that we're really watching this year is uh the number of substitutes that we're putting in front of kids. Um, I've done a study in another district where we calculated that because of time missed of teachers that a kid in our system from kinder to 12 would have almost a year's worth of instruction um with substitute in front of them depending on, you know, if
043you lined it all up. And so I'm I'm pretty pretty interested to see how we we're starting that conversation tomorrow with, you know, principles and and just trying to figure out, you know, how we keep our our best people, which are, you know, paid staff in front of kids um to keep that going. >> This actually is accurate for the eight days we've had, not including today. Um, so we're starting off green. I anticipate with the 10day drops the red might be a little bit less. Those are probably our kids that haven't shown up yet. Um, maybe they're really not coming back. We just don't know yet. So hopefully that will become a little bit more great. Um, family engagement. So we had meet the teacher day in on the what was the middle school
044and high school's first day of school. We had meet the teacher day where we invited families in to come out, drop their school supplies off, get to know their teacher, let their kids familiarize themselves with the school or with the classroom and kind of get settled. Um, as Mr. Gas said, we do have multilingual family night coming up on the 24th and then Bulldog Bash is October 2nd. Um, so please come join us. It's a good time. Um, the next You're good. The next one is our behavior tiers. And so we handle behavior the same way we do with literacy and math. Um intervening when necessary. This one I I'm still able to pull data. Um it won't be the data and I will convert it just going through the months. Um so we use
045the DERO student strengths assessment data um which the teachers do on the kids and so they assess them in different areas like self-awareness um respect all all different areas um and then it calculates it and what it does is it pinpoints their strengths and it pinpoints the areas of growth and and then it gives the teachers ideas on how to use their strengths to address their areas of growth. Um, but those are also the the kiddos that our behavior coaches intervene with. Um, and spend a lot of time doing check-in, checkout, um, small groups, social groups, trying to get them the skills that they need in order to attend in class. Um, so I don't have Desa data yet because we're going to get started on it this next two weeks, but what I do
046have is our September data based on our behavior coach case loads. So all the kids in green are our tier one kids. Those are the kids that are just in the classroom. They don't need any other supports. Whatever the teacher is doing is good for them to maintain um and they're they're okay. The kids in yellow are tier 2 kids. So these kids check in and check out with a behavior coach every day. So maybe the behavior coach meets with them in the morning, says, "Hey, how was your evening? What' you have for dinner? Uh what kind of a mood are you in? What is our goal for the day?" Um, and maybe it's safe hands and safe body, safe feet, maybe it's okay, I won't run out of the classroom today. Um, just talks
047about their goal and then that kid is usually okay. They may need a break or two throughout the day, but then the behavior coach checks in with them at the end of the day. Hey, how'd you do? How'd you do on your goal? Um, tier three is our kids up in the red. These kids need a little bit more, so they do a little bit longer check-in with a behavior coach in the morning. Um and then sometime in the afternoon they'll get pulled out for a little small social group every day just to kind of give them a little more front loading on the skills that they're working on in class. >> So that's what you see there. It will change based on DESA data as soon as we have it. Um in the first
048few weeks, these are just the top behavior themes that we've seen. Thankfully, nothing really huge. Um, some students being disregulated, just adjusting into school. Um, a lot of over stimulation, which is pretty normal. Some defiance, not following directions, and work refusal. It's just a lot of um systems, procedures, just getting our kids back in the routine and ready to go. Um, so really nothing out of the ordinary in that question. >> Yeah. um for over so over stimulation. So usually like defiance of work, work work or defiance, work refusal or student dysregulation that can usually be a symptom of over stimulation. Are you guys separating out this way? Are you seeing >> over like are you guys staying over like they can't control body or they're like >> you guys think about in a specific
049way that is different than those other things? >> It really it's just kind of a a snapshot. They could be tied together. They could be separated. I called our echo room today and I said, "Hey, what are the top things you're seeing?" Okay. And he just kind of listed off, "These are the big ones I'm seeing." >> I was just curious to go over simulation specifically in this case was like, "They're having a hard time controlling impulses or anything or something like that, >> depending on the kid." >> Okay. >> Yeah, it's it's broad at this point. Um, this is kind of our new and exciting data. So last Wednesday we had what was called Dibbles day and that's where we give the Dibbles assessment to all of our kids K5. Um the column on
050the left hand side is our end of the year last year and we made a lot of growth last year. Um the column on the right is our beginning of the year data. So you can see there's a little bit of red added and a little bit less green. looks like a little bit more yellow. The kids in the red are below grade level um pretty significantly. Um the kids in the yellow are a little bit below grade level and then the kids in the green are on or above grade level. Um it it looks bad, but it really is good. Number one, it's our baseline data, which means we're only going to add more growth. Number two, we just brought in 39 what we know to be absolute non-readers in kindergarten, which is great.
051So, if if there's only that that small chunk added, that's including we graduated out of class of readers into sixth grade and brought on a whole new grade level of non-readers, which would be in the red. Um, so it's really exciting. It's not a whole lot of summer loss and summer slide. Um, and only one way to go. So, it gives us our baseline data so we know what we need to work with throughout the year. We're going to measure again in January and then again in May um and see where our kids go. But um we've got a lot of really good systems in place, especially in kindergarten and first grade to try and intervene as early as possible because the earlier you intervene the less um you have to intervene later and the
052quicker they get it which means they don't struggle as much which helps with everything including behavior because they're not frustrated. Another thing I would add is typically in a district you will get some of your lesser experienced teachers teaching summer school and we had a really good roster of teachers this year. Um and they did a theme-based kind of summer school where they um you know we had an aquarium week where we did things gearing up for the Thursday trip to the aquarium where they went to um Farmer John's and did everything was agricultural that week. And so they they out and got some kids some experiences. But um you know to me part of that is is this is a good like just seeing the green as close as it is. >> Yeah. >>
053Means you didn't have a whole lot of summer meals. So that's awesome. >> Yep. Absolutely. Incoming kindergarten. I was I was I was expecting to be whole numbers. So that's really good. All right. Any questions on that? It's kind of a lot in a short time and not a whole lot but we're just starting. Well, and I think that um for Ivonne and and Noah, we'll kind of you'll get a snapshot mid year and at the end of the year, so you can watch that progress. And you know, if you ever see something you're like, why is that not growing as fast as or you know, Sarah's always available for those kind of questions? >> Always. >> Do you guys have three kindergarten classes? >> Yes. >> You did just have really small numbers. >>
05412 and 13. >> 11. So that's um yeah, >> I was worried that we had low numbers, but it sounds like small numbers. >> It was just like >> very small group. >> Do you you know that that's a hard one to predict because it's the one grade level. You don't know who's going to show up or who isn't. And so to um we talked about going to two. Um but to me the the value of of keeping them small to get them going and close the gap right now >> it's foundational is is truly a luxury. So >> that small classiz and we got three strong timber staff. So >> any other questions? >> All right. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> Next is report. >> I know we were doing
055high school. >> All right. Um, we're Noah and I'm Angela Pasana. I'm the director of the education division out for the computer grand. So, I usually give the report sometimes. Bethany Mason, you might see her here. She works with me and so sometimes she gives a report as well. But, uh, we had a busy summer as we always do out at the tribe. Um, and just for your benefit, we operate a cradle to career department out there. So we serve uh infants and expectant moms actually all the way to some of our oldest college students in their late 60s. So it's a big span, but I try to narrow the focus for this to to K5 or to K12 honestly. So in terms of K5, um we had some summer school programming that went on.
056We had 80 kids. Um we do four days a week, full days for nine weeks during the summer. So they were really busy. um going on field trips and swimming lessons and they spent two days on campus doing cultural activities and events um as well as some reading things that they were involved in as well for literacy support. So a big group this year we operated a drop in youth center. We averaged probably 20 I think students uh utilizing the youth center throughout the summer and that's our 6th through 12th grader um students. We also had 60 kids that we employed for the summer youth internship out of the tribe. So, um we had quite a few kids and that's the older range. So, they not as many to go to the drop in youth
057center because they're working, which is good. Um and getting work experience. So, uh yeah, again, busy summer. We had an honor and recognition. We had a record number of graduates from our higher education program. Um Justine heads up the Shawish ille school. They had their language retreat. So just very busy overall for everyone on campus. Uh biggest news for us, we had a reorganization. It's now instead of a department, we used to operate a department with four programs and the library and the school. Now we're operating the library um and programs and we've created a new program um administrative services and the school has now branched off um into its own separate entity. So, lots of organizational shifts going on. We did have about 110 employees in the department now, division. Um, so that has
058gone down a little bit with the school moving out, but just lots of positions shifting around. So, we'll be reaching out with a new communications plan. I think Justine has hinted to you already a little bit about what that looks like in terms of communicating um with all of us and Bethy's team. Bethany heads up the team for youth education and they um primarily are up here on campus doing academic advising and coaching and working with A12 youth. So um oh and then theou will need to be redone. Uh it's not up until January of 2028. So um but it's going to need some changes based on the reorganization. So we'll bring back an amendment to put forward. What was the reason for the reorganization? >> Um, a couple things, functionality, efficiency. So, for example,
059we operate a uh early childhood education center and they primarily were the only staff that provided food services to the to their program. So, we had the kitchen and they had the food services. But now that we have shawashi students on school on site every day, they also provide them to the preschool um for the immersion program and they're also providing afterchool snacks that a variety of things. So now we've created that admin services department that'll oversee all the food services for the whole division. So we had a lot of services like that that were sort of embedded in the programs, curriculum, health and wellness, food services, uh social emotional learning, our literacy specialists. They were kind of all in different locations and we've now kind of put them under one umbrella for efficiency, cost
060effectiveness. We think it will be a good plan. And then moving the school out largely because council had always envisioned that they would be a separate entity, but as they grow, I was going to make the department huge. So, they kind of needed to become their own uh separate entity as well. Um, let's see a couple of other things. Um, we're all off and running. So, our final group of kids started today for the preschool. We have about a hundred preschoolers out there and um about 75 I think centerbased kids on campus every day and then roughly 30 25 to 30 that we serve inh home services. We are adding additional classrooms. So, we just opened a 12 classroom facility uh for early childhood education. So, we're going to be adding a couple of more
061classrooms um this year and next year. So, we're slowly filling going to fill that building someday, I think. But um they started today, so they were the last group to start. So, um everybody's full and operational and the campus was busy. >> Many how many toddler or preschool classrooms do you still have? So, we have six and we're hiring and trying to staff to open two more infant toddler classrooms. We've also shift some ratios around um with our staff, but we will probably be we're moving a lot of those centerbased kids to um or moving a lot of the inhome kids to centerbased because that's really what parents want is is centerbased care instead of inh home. So, we're still going to be probably around 100 kids. It's just now we're going to be opening
062more classrooms to serve more uh on at the center from 8 to two every day. So, two classrooms there and the hope is to open two more three to five year old classroom then because all we have a big bubble of two-year-olds coming through and so we're hoping to open preschool classrooms in the fall of next year. But >> we'll see how numbers shake. >> Like I said, whatever we can do to help you staff. >> Yeah, we're we're recruiting. We're hiring infant toddler teachers are advertised right now through the tribe. So send anybody that way. So um trying to get it is a year round program which sometimes make it hard to to staff. Um but yes any help would be much appreciated. >> We have two classrooms too >> and they have additional
063Yeah. So technically we have eight. We will have 10 altogether. They're just not housed under EC but the nest also has two and they're full. Right. If we can fill those empty early childhood classrooms, that makes our jobs a lot easier when they get here. >> Yeah. So, I mean, >> this year we should we're going to have around 125 counting the immersion students, two classrooms in the nest. >> Um, >> you're talking your nest kids. >> Yeah, her nest kids. At the Shawashi school, they operate two nest classrooms because it's all immersion and shook. And then um and they operate full day kindergarten, full day first grade uh just started this year and then they operate half day second through sixth grade. So those kids come half day out there and then in here
064or shared in for the second half their day in English. So first half in >> the piece that is a huge advantage to our community is they have a incredible Tajma toddler as I call it. Um it's it's truly a special place for early childhood because it's designed specifically for early childhood. Um and and it just kills me to see that sitting there not in capacity and I know it's staffing, you know, but having a facility in a community is 99% of the battle. The rest of it, you know, we've been working on some different partnerships and bringing some people to the table that might have some ways to help us. So, um, that's one of my goals is to fill her preschool. >> Well, it was a big campaign for us to get the
065building built because a lot of times it's hard to get construction dollars. Um, but we can get spots through Head Start, preschool promise. Um, and so getting the building built and having the ability to add the classrooms. So, I give the whole we had funders out, some big funders out last week and it's okay, I built it. now getting money to fill it, you know, with kids and staff. So, operational dollars are easier to go after. So, council um and then there was capital campaign to to raise the funds. So, it took quite a few years to actually raise the funds to to build it. But if you're ever in Gran, you can look me up and I would be happy to take you over and look at it. >> Love to do that. >>
066Yeah. And um Shaw is only school, so they moved locations this summer as well. So, I'd be happy to give you a campus with a tour. Um, and the other we were planning an open house, but we're just so much on the same page that we ended up at the same date. Um, October 2nd. So, we're actually moving ours around. So, I'll have a new date, but that came about today that oh, guess what? Will mine is having this exact night. So, we will figure that out. And then the other bigger news um sitting on the other groups that I sit so the nine tribes met last week for government to government at the governor's office and the state ain plan um has now been approved. So, um, and it's district heavy is what they
067use the words they used in that meeting in April. Campbell, um, I think would like to come out and visit the district and just talk to you all about what's in it and, um, what what it means. So, um, I just wanted to give you a heads up on that that probably hear from her and she wants to come out and talk about what that means and what those expectations kind of are looking like. >> Angie That's it. >> Reports. It's >> your debut. >> Very nervous. But yeah, I'm Evan Malloya, this year's associate bid student body president. And I just got the stuff from talking with various staff from the middle school and high school. Starting on the middle school side with sports. Uh for football, Coach Enus is working on getting the numbers
068of players up since this year they've got a bit lower numbers than normal, but he's excited to see the players grow and develop. And they have their first game this Wednesday. And for volleyball, uh coach Turbush has a largely 30 kids, but she's looking for another coach or someone to help volunteer coaching because of how large it is. Uh they have games this Tuesday and Wednesday. Uh, in terms of clubs, uh, Thursdays during lunch, Mrs. Dickens and Mr. Lewis co-host a drama club meeting in Mrs. Dickens room. They had their first meeting last Thursday where they plan to meet every weekend. So, they had good turnout. >> So, before you leave that, I guess we haven't had a school play here in a long time, so they're kind of gearing it up. So, we'll see
069how that all goes. >> Yeah, that's something that Mr. Lewis says he's planning on trying to do. get try to get the kids involved and planning to put on a play. Uh SME, which is the science and math integrated learning experience club down at the middle school, is run by Miss Casey Anderson, and she's hoping to have the first meeting on Monday, September 29th, with it then being every Monday from 3:30 to 4:30. And Mr. Booker is starting up an esports club which he plans to start on the 23rd of this month which will then be every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday after school with competitions on Fridays or that's the day they would normally land on. Uh Booker is the temporary coach. He's looking for someone to be a permanent coach. He's also planning on trying
070to get this into not just a club but a whole sport. And then the National Junior Honor Society down there, Mrs. Arios plans on having the first meeting sometime this week, probably Thursday or Friday, to go over their beginning plans for the year, like the tree of giving, which they do every year. Uh, in regards to last year's yearbook in middle school, the prices had go up a bit and they were delayed because of inconveniences, but they should be going out this week. And for leadership, which is run by Mr. Crow, uh, Red Ribbon Week is in October. He's currently planning for it to be the week the 27th through 31st where they're working with the Grand Braun Youth Prevention. The first supplies for it. They've also been interviewing staff members down at the middle
071school to see what kinds of things they want going on. They're looking for fundraiser ideas. Uh the middle school is also wanting to collaborate with the high school leadership for various activities. They've also recently designed a t-shirt they're wanting sponsors for so they can then go out and sell it and make them. They've also been designing bullets and boards and they're in the process of making a survey for the middle school students to see what kind of clubs they'd like because they're wanting to add more. Moving on to the high school in regard to sports with cross country with coach Pana. Uh they had 10 runners competing at Cascade High School last Thursday with four of them getting personal records. Then they run at Silver Creek Falls this Wednesday. Uh with football, Coach Oswald's excited
072for the season. Kids have been putting in some great effort. They've been showing a lot of improvement in these first weeks leading up to their first game which was last Friday where we yeah were victorious over cross town rivals 41 and 0. and then they play again Tuesday and Friday. Uh volleyball's got 24 players. Our team is currently 0 and three having played against San Young Christian Kennedy High School and Mana House Christian Academy. They're also in the process of hiring a JB2 coach and they play Monday, Thursday and Saturday this week. Uh with clubs, the high school also has a smile club which is run by Miss Sagar and Mr. Schs. uh that is starting up this week on Wednesday. It's going to be every Wednesday during lunch. There's math club which is or
073also smile clubs in Miss Sackmore's room. Uh math club is every Monday and Thursday during lunch also starting this week. Chess club is Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after school which is hosted by Mrs. Dickens in her room and it's run by EvoA me and starting it up this week. And then they also have drama club which is Tuesdays during lunch. Also still run by Mrs. Dickens and Mr. Lewis. They also had a pretty good turnout and they're just working on getting the knowledge of it out more people to join it. And then uh in regards to leadership we as mentioned we have homecoming week coming up at the end of this month with it being the week of September 29th through October 4th. We're going to be revealing the theme at this Friday's assembly, which
074is our first assembly of the year. Uh our noise parade is going to be on uh Friday, October 3rd. It's estimated to start around 1:30, so you know, feel free to come out and watch. We're also having our big outside assembly week to end the week with leadership's also just in the process of planning out this year's calendar, getting all the events set for the year. Um, moving on to others. Uh, band has their first performance on the 19th for the home football game. They've got a lot of new members and new music. So, everyone's working hard to learn all that. They also got six or sorry, they got nine new sixth graders. Uh, National Honor Society plans to have their induction ceremony near the end of October to lead into their first event of
075the year, the canned food drive for Halloween. uh prom committee is having their first meeting next Monday. The juniors are very excited and they're looking for adult volunteers to help with concessions. They're also looking for donations and fundraising opportunities. Uh our food science class, most of the students have their food handlers card and they've got all the supplies come in. So, they're going to be able to start making stuff pretty soon. And they're planning to add a culinary club on top of that. uh bold on brew our cafe up on campus has been training their new staff these past couple weeks and they plan to open in about two weeks the innovations class has learned to design and make t-shirts that they can then either have the students sell for their own or for the
076school and also the 2025 yearbook should be arriving within the next couple weeks. There was a delay last year. Any questions? Hope I didn't go too fast. >> That was wonderful. >> Lot going on. Lot of opportunities for kids. So, >> shout out to our staff that sponsor those extra things. >> I had a couple things I actually forgot I was going to mention. Um, our youth ed department. Um we took 11 students to Washington DC and I uh chaperon the trip and 10 of those 11 were from the district here. Yeah. Um they were such great kids. Like I truly enjoyed um spending the four days with them. They they were so good to each other and so kind and um asked really thoughtprovoking questions and to the Center for Native American Youth. They
077um we did BC through an indigenous lens. So we had some difficult conversations being in the capitol around our history and all those things and they were they were very respectful to the tour guide but asked some very good questions and had some great conversations. So I just thought you should know you have some really good students coming out of here. >> Um and I truly enjoyed hanging out with them. I was a little nervous. It's not something I usually do. has spend a lot of time with teenagers. I did bring Aria along just for backup, but um all went well. So, that was really good. And then I did want to say that Bethy's team also gives out um $150 gift cards to tribal member students and we usually give out they process about
078600 of those because they go to tribal members wherever they're located. So, her team's been very busy doing that this last month. But, um so I I don't know if you've closed it off yet or not. >> Not yet. And that's for back to school assistance. So if you get a student needing, >> yeah, travel student, yeah, let us know. >> So I forgot those couple of things, but definitely have some very um intelligent students and also just very kind and easy to travel in. So >> yes, that should think that's all of our reports. So we can move on to audience time. I don't have any questions for students. Okay. Um, so just as a reminder, citizens input on non-aggenda items shall be three minutes per person, 30 minutes per item. Citizen input on
079agenda items will occur after the board session before the vote. Speakers may provide objective comments or criticism of district operations and program for complaints about individuals. The district has a board policy and complaint process. Please contact the district officer guidance on phone. Is there any audience? Moving on. Okay. So, reports and discussion. We're going to start with policy process. So, one of the bigger jobs being a board member is um passing and reviewing policies and setting them and voting on them. And it's kind of a big ordeal. It's a a lot that goes on. So, I just wanted to give you a kind of a flowheet of what it takes to get a policy going and how that process evolves and takes place. This was kind of a handout we had gotten at a conference
080at one time and uh I would say from beginning to end probably takes anywhere let's see thank you um like three to four months to get a policy actually approved. Um, sometimes when things come out and usually it's after leg a big legislative um, session has happened, we'll start we work with OSBA. They have all of our policies on our website. If you haven't been on there, you can always review them on there. Um, they'll come out and it's sometimes it's just word changes. Other times it's actual change of policy. There's deleting policies, there's adding policies, there's different versions that come out. And sometimes it's easier as a board that we will just all sit down and have a work session and go through them all. So, as an example, I just want to show
081you like August they sent out um the update list of what was going to be coming out. And I would say this is a very small to medium um list. So, you can kind of have an idea that it's uh there's a lot that has to be reviewed and gone over and it includes a lot of different people depending on what the policy is. So, typically uh to sum it up, I'll say that when I get these updates that come through, I go through I give the list to the superintendent. He kind of reviews and lets me know what all he wants to see if they are um brand new um and or and required ones. Those ones we absolutely have to review and and see and make decisions on. If they're highly recommended, we
082still kind of take a look at those. Optional ones, sometimes we don't always get to that. Um, but they're out there. We can take a look at any of those types of changes. Um, so you can kind of see it's pretty extensive. I know sometimes we get focused in on like, you know, cell phone policies and things like that that are brand new. But there's a lot going on and sometimes some of these have to be reviewed by other um departments, special ed, admin, uh, whatever the policy is about. So um, just kind of want to give you a heads up on that whole process because it is going to be timeconuming. I if there's just a few policy that we go through, I always put them in our board packet. As an example is
083the um one that's in there today on um um restraint and seclusion. That one needs to be updated. So you will see that there's a copy of the proposed policy and our policy as it stands. uh if there's any recommendations on that. Anytime a policy is in your report and discussion, that's where you kind of have the time to ask questions, review it, um make suggestions. Um once I put it in through the consent agenda, that's when it's ready to be adopted and move on. And again, that's why sometimes when this list gets very lengthy. I've seen I've seen this up to about five or six pages, uh, it we'll probably just have a work session and go over it and then that way we can filter these through our meetings to um get input
084from everyone on those policies. So, that's just a quick run around on what the policy procedures are all about, why you see those in your packet. Um, if you ever want some reading material, go online, look under our documents. You'll see our we we work with OSDA. So, everything's reviewed through Oregon School Board Association by their legal council um by um all their departments and stuff before they're even come to our district. So, uh a lots already happen before we even lay eyes on it. So, but we still can we still have control over the policy. We still like if they put in there that you know something needs to be 10 days, we think no, we're going to go with 15 days. We can always change those types of things. So, um, >> as
085long as it's not static. >> Yeah, exactly. >> The other thing we'll do is we'll try and group them so they're kind of themed together. So, if we're doing technology, we'll have cell phone devices, you know, everything related to that. We'll try and bunch all those together. Um, an AR is administrative regulation. that's kind of more detailed around the dos and don'ts. So if you see something that is an AR that is usually behind the the original policy and it gives more detail about how I implement that or how the board implements that. >> Typically the board does not have to uh vote on an AR, but I usually put them in front of the board to just have a visual and see what's being added or if they want to have input on that
086as well. Should we talk about the next? So the the one you have in there tonight, you have our current policy on restraining seclusion. So anytime that we restrain a student, um typically that means um we put hands on them, you know, to keep them hopefully out of danger. Um it's our last resort. um unless you're the student rep, then you become the crash test dummy. But um we go through extensive training as a staff on restraint. Um we had Greg Taylor and and Mon'nique did a 4hour training one day. We get us going this year, but it's ongoing. You remember last year we had a a complaint filed to OSHA. One of the things coming out is we need more ongoing training for our staff on how to um not have to get deescalate
087students so that we don't have to restrain as our last resort. Um you know and so we did four hours. We have scattered trainings throughout the year to continue to do that. But if you look at the proposed policy, uh you'll see one of the things in there is that um if if we have a person who intervened with lack of training, um you get a blue card when you do the training. I have a blue card. Uh Sarah's got a blue card. Shannon's got a blue card. Chris does not have a blue card. Um so we go through this training. And so if you are a person like Chris that intervene uh in a in a situation, we have to notify that parent immediately um of why that person was in that situation. Um
088and it could be just because he was in proximity and there was a safety issue um in that process. And then also talks about those folks um you can see if it's if it's red strike through, that's what they're getting rid of. It's highlighted. That's where um we're adding or revising. And really comes down to good quality communication. Rarely do I have a a parent of a student who has been restrained that as long as we're communicating and transparent with it. 99% of the time um people understand that situation because sometimes they're dealing with the same issues on their own. And so it's but it is different when it's not your kit in that process. So um you know we want to make sure that we're being transparent. We're not hiding anything reporting it and
089we also have to report that um at times to the state or the health and human services uh depending on the situation. So it's one we pay close attention to in that process. Um seclusion is when you have a student um in a confined area and they don't really have a way to leave on their own. Um and that is not a situation we like to find ourselves in like holding the door shut on a kid or um you know if we're in the room with the kid that allows us to um potentially not count that as a restraint but there's certain timing we got to deal with. uh whole protocol we go through any of those situations. So, one of the things we did do is we brought some students back that were in
090a program in McMinnville last year that um we didn't feel like they were getting the best u accommodations during the day. So, we brought that back on campus and my hats off to that crew that is making that go. those kids um those kids seem to really be enjoying being on our own campus. We kind of set them up in their own space. We've overstaffed it to make sure that everybody's got enough attention that um we keep those guys on the on the on the routine and it's paying off. I don't know. You you were out there probably this week. >> Yeah. Um, yeah, they like being back on campus and um, most importantly with the staff that we have, we're able to keep them safe and keep the staff safe so that everybody can
091do their best learning. >> Yeah. >> Where's that classroom located? the modu one of our modulars remodeled and >> kind of confined a play area and >> and is that so they're on uh in the same mod as the the careers >> so they're high school >> okay >> you know where the press boxes are >> yes >> they're playground back kind of into that corner >> okay >> so um you know it's yeah >> how many students right now >> um right now we're three >> um but um the interesting part about it is it's probably a better value for us to man it for three students out there versus having paid for the slots and have the families refusing to send their kid because I still had to pay for the slot. So,
092um you know, we're doing what's right for kid, which is number one. Um and it's also then hopefully going to translate that we're being able to integrate those students as the year goes on into different specials and things like that. So, but they're highly regimented right now. which I think is good for everybody. Any other questions? So really what you're doing is uh you're able to read those policies. April, these will come back on our next one or >> Yes. So then those will show up um on the next packet as a decision item or I put them through on the consent agenda, >> but you can always pull it if you had a question. had a question. Anytime there's a revision on that, then when it goes, it has to go back and then
093go back through the process. >> Okay. Um and then on the state performance plan review, I think that's in the packet as well. We got a clean bill of health from last year, uh which is super exciting, um because those are hard to come by. So, hats off to uh to Mike and and Courtney for doing a great job on our paperwork and our people keeping up with doing our IEPs on time and all those types of things. Um that's a huge that's a huge win and one less thing we got to worry about. >> All right, show and tell. up first. Just little screenshots of some of the drawings that we're working on with the architect just to kind of give you a good idea of what that looks like. >> Um, so front
094page. Um so if you look at the top there's the the one of the key focuses of the design process is secure vestibules um having a space where somebody can enter and then they're directed straight to an office um as opposed to right now you know elementary school you walk in and you have to go across hallway same with high school and it's not super clear. Um these make it a little more secure. There's entry protocols. Um second page has the elementary school vestibial option as well. Um and kind of those those floor plans are both shown for um adding the vestibules will modify will need to modify the classrooms that are adjacent um to to help with that admin flow. So that's kind of where that design's coming in. Um >> so so the
095the high school one, if you can envision it, that the uh darker set of doors that you see would be new. The room to the left would be the current staff workroom. um that that we would remodel into this to the new office area. And then at the elementary, same concept except opposite classroom would be a this classroom right over here. >> Um >> we're laughing because we haven't told the teacher that I'm staying out of that. I just >> uh and then the last page is the uh the proposed classroom addition. So few standard classrooms as well as a culinary lab and culinary classroom. Um so that is the current intent. Um I also have some design samples um for you guys to come check out. Um we've got a solid surface sample for
096the countertops. Um good durable surface. Um we're looking at polished concrete for most of the rooms, but um any other like bathroom type things, remodels, uh we have uh laminate um this wood paneling um looking at using in the senior center and also in the secure vestibules. Um something that Mike really wanted to tie in was local. So Timbertown USA obviously, so trying to get more of those natural elements in. So going more of the natural colors. Um, and then this was kind of a combination of natural colors and also mine of orange. So, >> so the and then so if you envision we're moving our office at the high school. So that corridor where the office is now which I think started out as a library back in the day. Um, where like Jerry's
097office was or Derek's office is now. Um, Lori uh Lori Tony's got an office in there. that whole thing becomes counseling student center um student success um so that opens if you can imagine where Chris's desk is that whole wall gets blown up and lots of glass doors that open up so we can kind of make that space bigger in that process um and really make that um kind of more of a counseling career success student success center kind of expanding that commons concept um that we're doing right And then going down that hall or going out towards the CTE building. Um we'd have two regular classrooms, culinary classroom, and then a culinary lab. Um there's also a laundry built in there, which we thought we have some kids that need opportunity to kind of
098bring stuff to school. We can wash it and do some things. Um, and then the culinary lab has a a rollup door to the what would be looking towards the art room. Um, which provides kind of a nap courtyard we want to do concrete with really good drainage. Uh, so we can have events out there and like if you're going to do a pregame, pre- football game or an event, um, you can use that courtyard plus uh the culinary lab with the roll door. So, I think it'll be kind of kind of a a pretty cool space in that process. Um, we do have some different renderings. I I was going to bring them, but uh I have those in my office that actually showed you kind of the exterior theme. Uh, I was super
099excited when I showed it to um Cheyenne your daughter. >> The first thing she said was, "Oh, it kind of looks like the plank house." So, it's kind of got that vertical kind of wood vibe to it. Pig timber, glue lambs coming out of it. So, it picks up a lot of our timber, picks up some cultural things, which made me feel pretty good about the initial design because $5 million doesn't go very far, you know, and I think we're going to max it. >> So, they're moving they're moving on the high school. They're moving a set of doors out further. >> They'd add a set. So, you would walk in and then >> That'll be the best of you. Then we'll cut a window and a door in the vestibule into what is now
100the teacher workroom. So that'll be that diversion. Yep. >> And during the during the beginning the day, kids will be able to pass through. But once the bell rings, then you have to go to the attendance window and get buzzed through and get in the hallway versus getting buzzed in from somewhere that nobody can see you other than on a camera. So, we'll tighten that up. And then that new addition down the down that back side will basically push the door out of the commons and the door out of the academic hallway. It'll be one door. So, we're eliminating because it'll all be hallway in there now. Um, so that that'll be like a circle uh hallway in there, but it'll have an exterior door to the shop area. So, looks way cooler in the
101color. I should have brought those. >> It's all right. We'll get them. We'll bring them the next. >> Get all fancy and get a virtual tour. >> Well, so what we we're eventually going to do is we'll take all these samples and we'll get those printed up and we'll get them on some big displays maybe by Bulldog Bash. We'll have those and that way the community can kind of see what's what's coming down because it's pretty cool. It's going to look nice. um you know having an elementary office that is actually by a front door concept you know versus kind of in the middle where um you know and there'll be some what's cool about it is we'll have some teacher amenities in there where like we'll have a teacher's lounge like we don't have
102a teachers lounge it's kind of the empty room that we throw tables in the fridge and you know but they'll actually have a lounge they'll have kitchenet they'll have a bathroom you know small things [Music] year. >> Okay. Questions on any of that for a minute? >> Yeah. Any other questions for >> just used to be this? >> We don't have any decision items or future agenda items. So, if there's not anything else, >> I can let you know a couple things that are coming on the future agenda. Um, it looks like we're going to co-op with Sheridan on cheer. Uh, so that'll be on your next agenda. Um, I really want to look at tuning up our visitor policy. Ours is pretty generic and I want to make sure that we have a better
103visitor policy going into this year. Um, we'll bring the cell phone stuff in. Um, which will be good because we'll be a month really understand if the honeymoon's over or not. Um, and then I'll remind you that division 22 stuff will be pretty lengthy, but I'll try and make that as efficient as I can. It's just a big big annual deal we got to do. >> There is nothing else. I don't think about it. >> So, are you noticing kids talking to each other more? >> I've seen like maybe
