001Right. I'll call to order the meeting for the alumni to the flag of the United States of America and to the stands nation for Okay. So, we have amendments to the agenda. So, so we need to someone needs to make a motion to amend the agenda and add um a decision item that we have to amend the agenda to the decision item. I need someone to make that motion. Second it and then between that agreed upon before the 18th. Um meet again amen the agenda and get that taken care of tonight. I amend the agenda to add the co-op >> with just second to add the co-op school district for soccer. All in favor I I can cut so we can go home again. Typically, it's basically us allowing our girls to go up there,
002>> but we don't we don't have a copy of the agreement or anything that it entails and nothing for us to sign off on. No. So, uh, what this is is OSA. We've done the last two years. I usually do a one or two year co-op and I just now realized and sort of shared we had a two year and that two year last. We still have about three girls that still want to participate in that and play. So it requires us to do another co-op which all we need is board approval and then superintendent sign off and then that goes to the league which during last year they sign off on it and approve us being a go team and then which they've already scheduled that already on policies and everything on that one.
003>> We need just a motion to approve. >> Yeah. And we get down to decision items. Number four, >> right? >> Yeah. >> Board of Education. [Music] So, we have discussed this a few times about changing the time of the regular session meetings from 7 to like 6 or 6:30 a couple times. And so, we need to kind of make the decision this year so that if we do make the changes that we need to get it submitted for public record, you're going to make that change, a decision needs to be made. How does it work? >> I think six o'clock will be just fine. >> I'm good. >> I kind of like six for the winter. >> So, is everyone going to be able to attend work sessions at 5:00 p.m.? >> We don't
004have a ton of those last year. >> Yeah. construction and stuff. I'm concerned that we might have to have some more work sessions involved this next year. Um, executive sessions for sure. A couple of those. So, just just so that you're aware that that can happen this time. Can I voice why I would prefer six o'clock? My preference for six o'clock is I feel like when meetings are start at seven they're really welcoming late and I am someone who asks a lot of questions and I don't like people like we're rushing at the end of the meeting or that I have to rush questions and I'm okay doing regardless but I also don't want to people's time that my preference would be moving it to six and I think being flexible sessions is more ideal
005than continuing to start a step. I just feel like at the end of every meeting it's rushed >> a problem by doing a work session after the during the work session that >> sometimes come up with a decision in a regular session. So you're going to have session and it's going to be a board meeting or on a different day. So you're either adding additional time before board meeting or you're adding more meetings. >> How often do you think we would have a discussion item that would have to be >> um >> done immediately? I mean can you think of examples? I don't know. I the only thing is I don't really know because this is going to be a heavy construction year and I don't know what the hell entail. I think HQ is
006are really on it. They let they give us a really good notice and they're really good about letting us know when they needed approval on things. So I'm not concerned about so much getting in before a like a regular session. Um, but I if there's something that needs to be discussed within the board before regular session, we just need to >> we can try it and we move into some snacks. >> Now, word of thought, if we're going to have a work session, maybe we start those at 6 and then that would be one exception where we're start. Um, yeah, but just we just have to if that happens, I we have to really be sure because a regular session had just more guidelines and making sure we can't be deciding we're going to have
007a work session too, you know, I mean that just puts too much on that. >> So, you need a motion to change the regular session. um meetings to 6 pm instead. >> We set our meeting time for 6 for the 25 26 school year. It's been decent to amend our calendar, our board meeting calendar to have meetings school year at >> opposed. Um the next item is um some mandatory training that's uh this is kind of some OSBA guidelines that I included in your packet so that you're aware as public officials who are required to get one mandatory training on child abuse because you are now mandatory reporters. This is available to you through our vector training solutions. However, you have to have your email set up in order to do this. So, um I
008if you have not set up your email account through the school district, I kind of asking that you stay after this meeting and get that taken care of with our IT department. Also, if you want to check out a Chromebook or whatever, that's going to be available to to do tonight as well. So, it's really important that we get that done, get that taken care of. Um and the mandatory training that you will have to have is attend one uh session on public meeting law. Um so, just be watching for that. If I see something come up, I'll let you know. Last year, they actually had one down at the fire station. Um, but I did find that after that. So, um, and we can also be helping to come in and do that. So,
009um, I just wanted you to be aware of that. If you haven't set up your email, highly important that we get that taken care of tonight. You're probably already just handling some information and, um, we just, you have all that information, that would be great. Right, that's it for board of education. Now we'll move to the consent agenda. >> I move to approve the cons and seconded to approve the consent agenda. All those in favor signify by saying I >> I >> reports looks like just the superintendent report goals for you. So I was able to spend time with Noah Nant gave them tours of our campus kind of got them for you update our district office two versions of air testing. So I think we're on a positive path there. Our summer projects will
010start wrapping up. school wrapped. We had about kids go to the aquariums. Um we still have credit recovery. Um high school and this week we have kinder camp going about 31 kinders showed up today. That's about what we had last year that always get about a dozen that come in that don't attend camp for whatever reason they're doing different things. So, we should be good on our three sessions. That's our hope. Um, and then August 13th, we have our fresh orientation camp 29, which is the year that they graduate. Derek and Jeremy working on that. Uh so long that um we had access. I did notice today we canled our stuff due to the heat. Um had an interesting one folks at HMK person. Um and uh the gal that sold this um call she
011goes I'm in a warehouse in Portland they're moving to warehouse would you would you like some free furniture so this brand new stuff that we just bought the company's like we just need to get this out because we got warehouse cost to the district is probably just have it shipped from Portland down here but it's unassembled furniture so we can store them. Um, so we have a big chunk of furniture that we're able to acquire um that we can store for new construction. We need it. So that was kind of the only problem we got is the legs on the table, but I think we jazz those up and they're not adjusting cutter back there in the back row. Um so um that was windfall probably about I was excited. I thought it was like
012100,000 but more probably like 30,000 but still still good opportunity for us. So you can you can thank HMK for that one because that came through really that connection. Um I continue to meet with the career tech teachers to refine our program. Um that with TJ and Brenda and David and you know we're really working on our sequencing our what kids will be leaving with out of each rotation in that. We're also um able to put Spanish in the middle school rotation which gets our numbers down. Um he is a big fan of Spanish class just got a couple kids. Um and then we had a bunch of our staff attend the grand draw conference last week. Yeah, that was last week. Um it was a full house. I was really impressed with first of
013all was a little different than last year because the date got moved up in a month. So everybody's probably get staff or we're not going to get staff, but I was super impressed with the we show up out there. I thought the sessions were timely information at least for me that process. So um we kind of roll into it this next week. Um you guys as a board are invited to this week, if you're around Thursday the 14th at 10 a.m. we'll have our new teachers. We're kind of doing them one day and kind of wipe you up like, "Hey, come in. We're going to get your computer. We're going to let you meet with all of our apartments. Get everything kind of nailed down." And then Thursday, the following Thursday is fall that's in
014our fire last year. You know, you can come and eat lunch with the staff. >> Yeah. Lynn does a great salad bar. Um, so if you're available to come, April, if we have more than three shows, do we need >> Yeah, if you get a show, just email April so we can post it. We probably need 24 notice. >> I always try to post it if we go. That way we're there's no question. Um and then on the first day of school, we always have to do where community people out there board members as well. Um this district has two first aids. They have the elementary fun. And then high school, middle school is kind of come out of the out of the woods in the parking lot at us, sneak in the back door.
015Um but would love to have board members around. Um, just make sure you check in at the office if uh you're on those first days of school so that we know who's on campus and what's going on. Questions on any of that. Um, so as I thought about the goals, you have some packets in front of you. I just wanted to give you for information. Yeah. So that so last year coming >> um and so we tracked some things like for instance I just gave you an example of track month so you can kind of see the December January are really rugged for us January was particular school a tough month and then it back up as we also checked enrollment so we projected as our finance report the state we open the doors you
016can see 11 under that this year we bumped down to our 25 26 start based on our trend 796 is what present it. Um, and so what I do is I track this every year and I I put it into a like a spreadsheet that has tabs and you can get in there and if you want to look at trends attendance keep in mind the attendance in Oregon we track it about 12 different ways. There's there's ADM which is a weighted IEP. They we get a bigger value for that half time student day. It's all kind of weighted about time because there's different factors in that. I also have given you to look at we haven't got this year's report card yet. Um, but I did print fast. You look at these, they kind of
017go in order. If you look at the the Oregon symbol on the upper right hand corner, it tells you the year 23 242 23. So, it kind of goes backwards and grab the one from um this is really forwarding achievement data um that is open to the public. So this is what people see. People are looking at our district, people are looking at real estate, they they drag these things up. Um the other piece that So this is really one of the things I focus hard on. Um I hate those when they come out this year. I want to see areas on those. I want to see improvement. Um, one of the couple things that I've really noticed is when you look at uh some of these reports and class size, we continue to have
018smaller class sizes than the average um target. I think that class is um that should also then translate to hopefully some results that process you spend per kid. the other one I gave you to look at. It's really more of a comprehensive look. This this packet and this packet takes all of our state information. If you look at the top gives you a description at the top right below that you have a state longterm goal in the threeear average. And so they look at our grow our goal. In this case it's elementary language arts and then it translates depending on how they factor that into one level two level three level four level five. Um there's yellow you like to be green and blue data. But if you look into this pack and you get
019to page seven, when you look at page seven, well the target, the target is 94.5. That means 94 and a half% of our students need to take the test. So we don't even have enough kids participating. When you look through some of these, you know, we're missing a third of our kids taking the test. And as we look at, and I talked to principles and parents lived it for a while, some of our best kids are opting out of the test. And so as we move into our new counseling model, particularly at the at the high school, one of the things I'm going to ask them to emphasize is why we would want to information. That's why we're trying to be with the whole family. So we're going to bring people to the table. So
020I'm not sure parents truly understand it has. Otherwise, even if we made a goal, it would come with diet. Um some good news if you look through these um are like Hispanic students do really well um in some areas and like the gap on page 11 to 26 American students who identified as American Indian Alaskan native um are doing some good things um we're seeing some some pockets of success but we've got to get more consistent in our performance getting our kids to do as well. Um, some interesting blue is also our students with disabilities, but that's a small number. So, the volatility of who took it and you know what can change that a lot of kids. So, I give you all this as we go. Um, last year our goals really focused around
021climate survey. um staff I think with the board. We tracked attendance all the way through. We have two full-time people that really work on attendance and um they're much more coordinated this year in their efforts. So what we see uh some things we might want to look at for instance our late start for high school sometimes creates a situation where high school kids not going to show up as well. We may want to go back more traditional staff model to get participation get those kids to school. Um we also looked a little bit at achievement. We'll be getting that data here this month um from the state. We do [Music] in room assessments, you know, we you'll see my principles come through and they cycle elementary, middle, high, and they have things they're tracking that
022they'll show you and their cohorts of kids. Um so starting September, Sarah will start with her. Well, we'll make sure we get through um end of the year testing and then we rotate those guys in and we get two looks at that throughout the year and that process. So, we want to make sure that we continue to look at that so we can track this over years and track those cohorts because what we don't want we don't want a group of kids that look like they're doing really well and then the next year that looks like they're doing really well. They just kind of hit mark. So we want all kids growing in a positive trajectory that'll then close that gap. Um you know proficiency comes from that process. So um and then the last
023I had was around building projects and making sure we got contract selection those types of things. So, I don't know if we want to continue those. Want to bend those, but um I know that last month we started talking a bit about um things that might be worthy of incorporating into some goals. I think curriculum would be one that we would want to look at getting our curriculum adoptions caught up um in that process. I think we have some opportunities uh particularly in social studies uh this year. We actually have the curriculum director or curriculum writer for the tribe and we see student teaching in our building. So I hope he might be her for some input around tribal uh incorporating our tribal history there. Um I did give you in this packet a cell
024phone policy uh draft certainly just look at to see where the state's kind of going. Um Roy talked about talking drug testing that we got Derek to present. Have you found any schools that are postco? You know, there's a cost to that. Um we worked hard on our special program design. We can be reporting on that as we're bringing some some students back on campus. Um we have bond execution and we also have a bond oversight committee that's ready to go for community members that are going to be bond oversight committee. Um we still are kind of running into that theme of construction. Um getting getting a little deeper into the piece through the curriculum and you know monitoring our test results once those start to happen. Um, but I'm I feel like after being
025here a year, um, one of my goals for principles is really, and I charge the staff with this next week, is student engagement. when we think about when are kids on a cell phone and they're not engaged and they're just saying you know um you know we want to see more um kids kind of project project based learning applying that learning um kind of getting it in that process I think the having kids rows and teachers out there lecturing just becomes a spectator sport kids check out So that's that's the piece that we're going to really retool hopefully some of our instructional practice and figure out how to do that in a more engaging way which hopefully keeps this open. It's another angle I'm playing with those guys. So thoughts, feedback, what would you like
026to continue to see? Um you know I I will probably do the climate piece anyway just because I like to see if I've improved or not. Um, I do turn those results back out to the staff, which sometimes can be risky, but at this point in my career, I think it's important to see that people what they say is received. And, you know, I look for themes in that around u, you know, how do we how do we honor teachers? Um, you know, some of the cultural pieces that we did last year around staff morale, we spun out of some of the feedback I got out of that. Um, sometimes it's good for staff to see all the results because they go, I'm kind of the only person that really has an issue with that
027and everybody else seems to be okay with it. Or, you know, vice versa. So, um, and so as we move into different meetings that maybe, you know, we don't have to decide it all night, but I wanted to at least give you a flavor of what we've done in the last year. Uh we sat down the other day and went, man, quite a few quite a few things on the year. Um you know, but it's time to start to really unpeel the layers back on the onion, so to speak, and get after some of this this achievement stuff. You know, zip code shouldn't define your success in an academic setting. We got to be able with our class sizes, we got to we got to really be able to punch up a little bit. >>
028Looks good. >> And it's good for everybody. Everything. >> So, David, Justine, because you guys kind of saw some of those principal presentations. What in that would you want me to coach them to bring to the table? You didn't see anything off the top of your head? Not you can think about it because what they do is they they actually looked their their actual data and they'll present it and so they'll have fall, winter, spring down next this fall to that. So you can start to see and what if it's flat to really look at that and adjust and move. We got to get you back going. Okay. >> I don't know how many schools do a followup after graduation. they are, you know, out there and ready to tell you what was good and
029what could be improved. >> So, one of the things that we did when we interviewed all those seniors last spring is we got their personal like what email address do you think you're using as you leave here? Um, so we can follow up and say you're a year down the road to shoot them a certain too. Um, the other thing I like to do is invite them. Typically they some of them will show up like right around Christmas time, college break, things like that. Um, and we always like I always like to put a panel together and just have those kids come back and go, I wish I would have paid more attention in Mr. church's calculus class or um you know that was really good when I had an opportunity to you know do
030this. So those are kind of anecdotal fun ways to incorporate that for sure. >> The cell phone policy doesn't it's not required to go into place until January. Right. >> Which one? >> The cell phone policy. >> Yeah. We have to have a policy through this board's process by October 31st and it can go into at least go into effect by the first. >> So my question is are you going to start the school year off with the same kind of like an expectation that mirrors kind of what you're going to be asking from this policy or what you have to follow from this policy. Are you going to make a hard shift effort? Um, so middle school is bell-to- bell in the backpack right now. So a fourth of our high school theoretically has
031lived that middle school I think is going to stay the course. Um, we have not had a chance to sit down and talk about, you know, I know like Portland's going to the pouches like you go to the concert and locks down. They're like $50,000 for, you know, it's like not spending 50 grand to do, you know. So, um, we need to decide kind of how we want to start that year. I know that a concern that I heard, um, you know, is I think it involves getting some parents on board. Um, you know, because ultimately they're the ones that are going to typically they're their worst offenders. They're calling in class and want to check your kids, you know, and things like that. So, I take class, >> you know. So, one of the
032things that is interesting is the law specifically. We can't um we can't have punitive discipline for cell phone interaction. I can't impact instructional time. So if Noah shows up with a cell phone and know it's a third time, I can't suspend him. Um you know, now if I go, "Noah, give me your phone." And he's like, "I'll tell you where this phone can go." Um that's a different infraction. That's a defined infraction. And I could suspend it for that. Um but I'm kind of of the mindset that I will increase their academic academic opportunities um versus try to suspend them with things like that. You might have Saturday with the soup where come in at 7 in the morning on Saturday. We do a little common sense media workshop on cell phones if you learn
033a few things but we'll do it on their time and not our time. I was just asking say I've seen actually a few videos from states that implemented similar laws and teachers like oh it's the best thing that's ever happened like kids are engaged they're paying attention they have better eye contact they're talking to me um all of those and I I 100% support it and I know that parents but my other concern is the inconsistency with um staff >> implementing it and so my thought was if If you go into the school year with a pretty firm policy and kind of let staff know like this is the trial run like the expect this is the expectation and this is kind of your chance that it's not in policy yet but this is what
034the expectation is so that when that hardship does happen really know in that sense that they've already had >> kind of certain level of time where >> check you know that kind of thing and it makes it I think it'll be less of in that sense but als in the classrooms I think it's lunch it's you know we have an open campus I mean it's just down to the stadium's room there I mean it's like I don't know how to all that you know so there's gonna be there's be a little um Yeah. What's the current policy? >> We need to kind of follow the agenda. >> Yeah. We want to talk about it now. I just don't want to stick. >> Is it down? >> Yeah, it's down the road, but I also just
035know it's gonna occupy a lot of our space, which really isn't. Yeah. So, all good discussion. We'll get to it here in a moment. So, so what I'm hearing is continued our format. You know, the good thing about it is if you know, you say as a new board member coming on, hey, what about like our second language learners, how are they doing? Can we monitor those guys as a separate category? Boom. We just add it in as a separate category in our matrix. It keeps going. It's kind of built in dynamic just because the state a year from now will be we will be required to have interim assessments that we report to the state. The state right now is in kind of design mode of what they're going to accept. We're hoping that
036they already accept our excel as one of those vendors in that process which is our Virginia math kind of progress monitoring. um you know so they're trying not to overengineer the system but that never seems to totally work in that process. So I'm trying to stay ahead of them make it more work for us to kind of monitor but yeah show you some real time information so that it's not all the same >> progress on this portion. >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean I but I mean again it could be one or two kids that really skew that because our in is so small >> kids you know you get a couple good ones in there and we get a couple kids the next year that struggle be pretty volatile. So >> discussion All right. Um,
037so we're going to move to audience time. Citizen input on non-aggenda items shall be three minutes per person, 30 minutes per item. Citizen input on agenda items will occur after board session before vote. Speakers may provide objective comment comments. Criticism of district operation programs about individuals. The district has a board policy complaint process. collected rights of filing any one to see in TJ Wilson. Did you still work to honor that? >> Yeah, I mean I was just going to tell you guys um here's two of them. Uh we went over to the Anhill County Fair two weeks ago. They have started Oregon Welding League. Um which all the high schools throughout Oregon. Um it's kind of like Skills USA but a bit different. Um so they had um kind of the end of the year
038championship overhill county fair. They got a pile of metal and set plants and they had six hours to build a bench and uh there were several teams from Redmond, Stton, McMinnville. There was lots of different uh places that show up. um the unbeatable team in the last four years. Um they graduated this year and so all these guys were like, "Yes, they're not there." Uh we get here and there they are. So um the fun part is these guys, they won and uh they got they got to beat they got to beat these unbeatables on their very last high school competition. But they uh so they're the they're the champions and they all got about $600 worth of welding equipment and stuff uh for winning that deal. So yeah, so uh our uh participation in
039the Oregon Welding League, they're uh they're doing pretty good. So we uh started out end of the year and started out the year with a with a championship. So we're looking forward to it and uh and next year's championship, we plan to hold it here on our campus. So that'll be uh that'll be a fun thing. So anyway, I just want to let you guys know um proud of proud of these guys. They uh they did a they did a good thing. >> Great job. One of the things that I were talking about the other day is I would love to see this as we look at kids doing achievable good things that co kind of got people kind of out of that mode. Um, you know, but uh, you know, we have a lot
040of kids doing a lot of really good stuff and representing your district. Well, and I really want to figure out how to maybe maybe those guys get the first voting letters. I don't know, you know, but I mean like some districts will give academic letters, you know, or give music letters or, you know, so we'll be working on that with our new administration on just how to how to do that in an honorable way that kids feel like they represent that. So >> cheesy, but I know that parents like like honoring those achievements on social media, >> just like a Facebook post with pictures of them and like a little bit of a blur. So parents can share that out as long as they're okay with that. But >> yeah, but I also feel like
041parents and it reaches a large audience when it's social media. So I maybe just starting there and maybe you highlight once a month like student achievements for the market, whatever that might be. >> Brent, I mean that's that's something that needs me to do. He's good at it. You know, he can queue those up. So he just loads them and it just sits there and then that triggers on the calendar. >> An article. >> Yeah, >> you guys could be in my next article. I'm trying to put pictures in there. >> Yeah, >> David's in the upcoming >> You guys are on the front page of the McMenville paper. >> Yes. Yeah, they were there and he >> just Stephen's doing a news interview tomorrow over a car that he painted last year. So, uh
042he'll look for >> Yes. >> Good job, John. >> Yes. All right. Thank you guys. >> Yeah, that was really kind of cool because parents >> endademic achievement awards for students of any >> again those legacy pieces. I want to get back to the process. Um, you know, like honor roll like didn't see any real like 3.4 4.0's and um, you know, so I think I've gotten a good enough relationship with some of these kids after having my office in the hall over here for the spring. Um, you know, that you know, take lunch, you know, at the casino or somewhere take them out for a burger and you know those are the kids can afford to take an extra hour and go to lunch they got a 4.0 So little I know the middle
043school did some things with student of the month lunch chicken get some smoking meal Ross or something up there. Yeah. I just think we're in a you know if we wouldn't really get people to land the academics we recognize what we want. So moving on to reports and discussion. >> So purchasing card policy. Um we we are trying to move forward and get into 2000s purchasing card system meaning that uh right now there's only like four or five Visa cards filtered in the district. Um and so we use a PO system you know gets convoluted and it's not a very streamlined system. coaches or how to do they come by rooms get kids stuck somewhere or they get an extra night a fiasco or you know getting a call at 2 o'clock at night you
044know hey so and so made the wrestling finals you know whatever so basically every every coach and maintenance and some of our so people that do a lot of traveling do a lot of booking of things that need to be bought on credit card. Um, we'll have a a purchasing card which is like a Visa card. They buy fuel. We can turn on and off all the different categories for wrestling state championship up. So, there's really good controls on it. Um, I talked into it, you know, she and Tracy gosh um are not always available to to adjust those when we need to. So, we're going to give that a go, but we have to have a policy approved by the board that us This is just for you. I know the policy says it
045was adopted. That was I don't know why that's on there. It's um yeah, just a review. If you have any questions, if you think something needs to be changed, um this is the time to dismiss that or whatever. There's no real changes on the policy as you'll see in next month's packet for approval. >> The other thing to know is if I'm a like eventually what would happen is if this goes well I'm a classroom teacher I get a budget a year on my card is thousand. So it's not like somebody can go rogue go out and play toss for slots up our budget. So, it's it's it's it's in a pretty tight pilot this year with people that we know and trust in that circle as you go. >> I think it's great. I
046know a couple years ago they had a storm we could end up with the kids wrestling kids night and when you went back trees across the road >> we could. >> Yeah. >> Safely at all. just as a coach and somebody that travels with kids, the last thing you want to do is be trying to get a hold of administrator, you know, and I don't know how many times as like assistant superintendent, I would give my personal credit card to get kids a hotel, you know, 10 hotel rooms to get them off the road. cell phone policy. >> So in here you have your cell phone policy. This is just so OSDA um anything that goes into statute and then they start to draft policy and you can see they give us some choices in
047that policy. uh or we get to choose. And so you can kind of choose the hardest line um of like no or you can say don't bring them. You can say you can put them in your backpack. I don't necessarily want uh teachers sitting on thousands of dollars as a phone every day because no one walks away. had the discussion too many times with a parent like, "Well, that's a thousand dollar phone. Your kids in third grade, please send a thousand dollar phone." Um, you know, so it shows you in those brackets some things we can choose like students for use. So you're going to say if you your rung up or if you just use it, I would lean more towards the use, you know, because I want the kid to put it away
048in their backpack. So, I just wanted to give you and then it's really interesting that um if if you're around you in the past because other than a school bus driver, they don't want bus drivers having to police it on a bus on there. They want eyes on the road. Um if a kid has an IEP or 504 and specifically has their cell phone, some kids have are diabetic and they use the reader and so we don't want to take that from a kid. Um, word on the street is there's actually a doctor that's writing um anxiety uh letters for kids for 504 um you know >> around here or just >> um somewhere along the court I'm not going to say on camera because >> but you know I mean there's I've watched a
049couple webinars with kids with where kids we're talking, you know, and one of the things because we all came with the old I made it from point A to point B and you know I'm here today, but these kids have never not had a device. A lot of these kids electronic recess, the grocery card, I mean, it's just wired into them. And so, um, you know, to Justine's point, I would like to, um, kind of ease into it where we can train kids and get them to understand why before I absolutely draw the line on January one, have to draw the curtain on it. Um, I also think that's a smart approach to kind of work with it in an educational mode in the fall. Um, just because it'll give us also time to see
050how it's rolling out in other places. that go hardline, you know, see that we're taking it till the end of the year are going to end up making a lot of people. So, um, but you know, the things that we talked about at our last our conference last week, you know, it's smart watches. It's anything that really connects to the internet is really what they're targeting. But we're not experts on watches, so I can't tell you if watch connects to the internet or not. It's a digital watch. I'm assuming it does like you have bust a kid and I don't know if it's nicotine or you know DHC. So I'm assuming it's DHC you can you can prove me wrong I guess that um so there's lot smart glasses. They have those Google glasses now.
051Not that I've seen it in our in our school community but they actually have those smart glasses. It's an Yeah. Um, >> they can watch movies and do all sorts of stuff with >> Yeah. Got cameras on them, the whole field. Um, yeah. So, there's a lot to work through in that process. A lot of kids don't use lockers, so they'll be back. Um, we'll see. We'll see how we do and we'll get some staff input next week to kind of figure out where we're going. Again, I think it's really going to be our high schoolers that are half tough. would be nice to know where the staff come. >> We'll report back >> because I remember a few years ago it was first defense to this secretary of the office. She's watching all these
052calls got turned in first offense with the teacher, second offense with the office, third offense. It's safe to principal for a >> kids. >> I had a kid that had that case. There was another teacher that did a count every time took care of a phone and I'm like, "Okay, now I have to be consistent. I just took the kids phone to the office and he lost." >> Yeah. Or he lost his burn phone. >> And then that's what they would do. Buy another phone. Well, in thinking about a policy like this, like my hope is that it's consistent. Like it's very clear like the teachers don't have to come up with solutions themselves or they don't have to like be really invested in trying to figure out how they're going to police it. I
053would like whatever happens to be consistent in each class. Like each classroom is going to have a 20 pocket and each kid's going to be sign a number and every day they have to stick that in their pocket. Um I my I also think it's really difficult if you are going to trust students with keeping them on them and not taking them out as someone who was in high school and that was the expectation if you still have the urge to just automatically take it out. And so like them putting it in a pocket and then being able to see like can't get to it but nothing's happening. It's fine. But whatever is like consistent across the board so that all teachers don't expectations and it's easy to follow. >> Well, kids are savvy enough
054that you know even on their Chromebooks in class proxies, you know, they just we should hire they've got ways around. So, you know, it's it's one of those that we'll we'll work through folks in the loop. >> Well, one of the unintended results that people have seen is that less bullying happen in schools because there's no way for kids to communicate outside of talking face to face. And so, like there's less bullying, but there's also less fighting. There's less like that kind of stuff going on. And well, I think that was going to be something results of that. It was I mean we're surprised by how much it's been impacted. >> Is there going to be like a letter going out to that explain that? And it would be nice for them to hear the
055reasons why. >> Yeah. >> Instructionally. >> Yeah. Oregon is notorious for their tools. >> So they're putting together letters and information. you know, at vacations and things like that around the psychological and emotional social emotional >> and that's going to come out when >> um I think there's pieces of it already in play. They just rolled it to us last week. So, we'll start to principles like that. >> Yeah. I you know, I walked into the hardware store. I was I was waiting for a part and there for a long time and a kid came in with um his phone and he was watching an educational thing but the whole time he was not looking at anything else and he was with his grandpa and I just think that maybe around it's really educational for
056a child to go into the hardware store and listen to what's being said and see what's going on rather than think that an educational tool is the end all to education you know on a phone. So just things like that. >> Yeah. And you know the whole AI thing is going to roll into this as well. AI is a whole >> that will be my year. So >> a whole lot. No, they're just providing a monthly update for any anything new that's going on, any meetings that have taken place, and any new agreements. Um, >> I meet with them later this week. Um, we do have a pretty comprehensive look as a plan. I don't know. Did I show that? Did I have that? >> No. Um, I do have a set of preliminary uh
057design plans. Um, we are in the refinement mode. Cut foot off of or two feet off of classrooms, get our square footage downized rooms. But, you know, we're in that mode right now. Value engineering, trying to make efficiencies, making sure we got straight lines versus jogs and corners, still trying to maintain the integrity of it. Um to speak to Bond language uh we have not sacrificed any of the vestibial stuff for safety which is a priority of mine those classrooms. Um, we do have some things that we may uh talk about as we get closer on the budget that um, you know, we may want to defer, meaning that like classroom furniture, which I just got a bunch of um, you know, we may hold off out bidding brand new furniture a couple spaces, you
058know, let's get the space it done complete so that we can, you know, kind of have the amen just go in that process. Um, yeah, we're working through it. We're on schedule. >> Well, we're kind of on schedule um for this schedule. >> The new schedule. >> Yeah. So we should bid on that right Christmas time process should then we should start be able to go about March. We have been talking with staff around we can give them certain areas before the school year's out. Um, you know, we have the bad part we got on campus and the good parts. Um, you know, so we had to give them the front doors. The schools, the elementary's got two front doors. So, we to shift around and give them an opportunity to go to get some
059stuff knocked out so that we get to fall. We're not hung up and under construction. One question and I just noticed all the playground equipment out there got repossessed. >> No, we actually >> is that part of the >> That was a Nike grant in a federated tribe before I got here. We have the equipment, but we had a hard time was getting this installed. They're coming next week. They're gonna So, >> yeah, it's gonna be brand new. [Music] It'll be >> okay. So, decision item. >> Oh, the integrated plan approval. We approved this once. We did it under consent. Um the state came back and said no it has to be a single item that the board approves. So you basically the integrated grant lines up with the benium and that's where we get
060our title funds title one title two title six. So it's really a formality of just approving this as an individual item. Sarah and I presented on this I think back in November last year. Uh so so if you want more information on it as a board member, I'm glad to sit walk you through it or have Sarah sit and walk you through it. Um this one is a doover, I guess. >> I move to approve the integrated programs plan as presented. >> Second. It's been moved and seconded to approve the integrated plan as presented. All those in favor signify by saying I. This is the surplus. >> So, we have some items on our campus that just have been sitting. We have a a trailer, a truck. Um, we have a flyer in there that
061we put together. Brent put together. Um, so we've been upgrading equipment and then I don't know where that silver pickup came from. It's been here >> forever. >> Somehow there was this program in the school district where people would sell us their vehicles because we haven't bought a new vehicle in quite a while. Um, but we have a bus out there that doesn't really run. Um, but there's a trailer the kids built that three axle 40ft trailer is so long that hard we hardly ever use it. It's hard to get around. We have a mower um that is is sitting in the back of the shop that has been replaced with some zero turns. Um, and then we have a different bigger tractor. Um, what's that last trailer? >> Yeah. So, anytime we surplus things,
062we want to make sure the board knows that we are moving that and you approve it. And then, uh, depending on the amount, um, determine the bid process. If it's under a certain amount, I think I can Facebook market it. If it's above a certain amount, then I need to do a sealed bid process. So, first step is to approve and we can surplus that. I believe you can't >> always his wife though, right? Or cousin. >> Yeah. So, Right after >> I move to surplus the items listed as presented. >> Second move and seconded to surplus the items listed and presented. All those in favor signify by saying I >> I opposed motion carries. Next is RFP food service extension road to 2026. And these are all individual motions that need to be. So
063they're at the bottom of each page behind the yellow sheet. >> And also Lyn is here in case we have questions. >> Sorry, I thought that you started at seven. >> You're right on time. >> Yeah. 20 minutes. >> You do all these individual. Yeah. So, at the bottom of the page on each um RFP, I highlighted the motion that needs to be read for each individual. So where it says I motion I move the board district accept the award RFP D25. [Music] >> You're the second one. >> The first one I think >> Cisco is a rollover and then the Gary and the Fred are new RFPs but it's for the same vendor. He's the only one that fitted. I motion that the board approve the Cisco contract extension for one additional year accepting
064the 75% increase in fixed fees in accordance with the original RFP.75 excuse me just% increase in fixed fees in accordance with the original RFP language. >> I'll second it if we can learn to write them as I move instead of I motion. That drives me crazy. It's been moved and seconded to that the board approve the Cisco contract extension for one additional year accepting the 75% increase in fixed fee in course of the original RFP language. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I move that the board and district accept the award RFP B205 to 2030 to goody man district for the year. Second move and second board and district accept the board RFP 2025 to 2030 to goody man distributing inc for the 2025 2026 year. All those in favor signify by
065saying I >> opposed extensions. Motion carries. >> I move that the board and Mr. then award the RF 2025-2030 to Spring Valley for the 2526 board district accept the RP to Spring Valley for the 2526 school year. All those in favor signify by saying I >> opposion carries. And we also have we need a motion to approve up with school district for soccer two years. >> We don't know yet. They have we're just >> up to two years. with 225 to 2027. >> Second accept accept the co-op between Sheridan for soccer for 2025 27. All those in favor signify by saying >> I opposed. >> I know we jump fasted, but since Lyn's here, she did an amazing job during Fourth of July performance breakfast. She was like the rock star that was here at
066the beginning and here at the end. >> All the things that she does, she's always there. >> So, thank you. >> Best one I've ever worked with. >> She's I mean a lot of school. Am I out of order? >> Yeah, because we're int [Music] again. I apologize. website says by the way changes >> website >> I have to put it on my machine. Um, so every once in a while I just like to do a report to fill the board in on what school program is and does. And since you guys are fairly new board, thought I would do my little show. Here comes >> Here comes the >> I had to unplug this to get to that. I would be calling Richard when I was substitute Richard save That's a by the way
067>> you drive presentation for next week. Have you ever seen the long the long game? It's a golf movie. >> Of course I have. class. >> It was a great movie. I come at the end of it, I'm like in tears for these kids and I'm I was like, "Okay." Like every year is that a high school team that >> Yeah. Texas. >> Yeah. >> Watch and happy. I watch should watch. Okay. So anyway, I already kind of did introduction. Um, so the national school lunch program is a federal program and it's administered by the USDA food nutrition services and then the district. So I have basically three bosses. SFA is school food service something that's >> yeah no child nutrition programs the programs that we run now is breakfast in the classroom that's big
068we do that for five and I'll get to that for the bigger kids now um NSLP which is national school lunch program we do an afterchool snack for kindergarten through first grade. Um, one of the things with after school snack is it has to be after the educational day. And so right now kindergarten the first they qualify because they do a reading program for the last half hour of the day. So they can have an after school snack doing that. And then we also uh participate in farm to school fresh fruit and vegetable program which is a fresh fruit and vegetable tasting program where the kids get samples of fresh fruits and vegetables and they get those served in their classroom outside of the school breakfast program. It's not allowed inside of the program. So
069it's kind of a bonus. And then the summer food service program all the students currently eat at no charge under the community eligibility provision. This is going this will be our 11th year doing that. Um it's a four-year cycle. So that next cycle expires 2728. Um it's reimbursement is based on percentage of students that directly qualify for free lunch that are directly certified. So that's kids on SNAP and foster care, migrant children, kids who receive Medicaid and McKenna which is homeless. Um, and what happens is that's called the ISB, the identified student percentage. So they take the amount of people that are directly certified there, which those statistics we get from the state, they divide that by 1.6 and that's the percentage of meals that we get claimed at the federal free rate. And then
070the remainder up to 9% is actually filled in by movement from the student success act. So we get 90% of the meals that we serve paid free rate and then the other 10 is paid at the uh full pay rate which I'll get to in a minute. So right now we are at 64.3% of kids direct certified and that includes the multiplier. So it's whatever it is multiplied by 1.64.3% six 64.3% of our kids would are qualifying for certified. So that's how many on food stamps etc. Um there's what we're doing is we have a group of we group all of our schools together. You can at other districts bigger districts they go school by school. We have decided to go by district um get us a better person as well. So, some of the
071revenue that we have, federal reimbursement rate, like I said, 90% of our our meals that we serve, we get reimbursed at $4.71. 10% of the meals that we get um that we serve get paid at 55. That's just percentage kids or anything else. That's for the CDP. Um $2.94 is the full pay rate for breakfast and the full pay rate or is the free rate for breakfast. The full pay rate is 40 cent. So 40 10% for our breakfast serve. We get first 40 cent 90% 29 after school snack everybody across the board it's $126 per snack that we um claim. Um and then another revenue is our nonprogram meal revenue which adult meals um kids if they want a milk or lunch thing and then also we get USDA foods um we don't get
072cash for that what we get is we have we get 45 cents per lunch that's served from the previous year in foods that we can do things with Um, but anyway, I pre-order in March and I can divert some of that funds to fresh fruits and vegetables and I can divert some of those to like I will send whole chickens to Tyson and they turn those into chicken patties. I send big time. Of course, I never seen actual food. I see the the money going back and forth. It's all numbers. that they send um mozzarella cheese up to Clakmas and it gets turned into pizza. So, it's it's also helping our local members there. Some of our expenses we have, of course, we have to buy the food. Um our labor and benefits, our supplies,
073paper goods, that kind of thing, equipment, our computer software, our indirect costs like we pay the custodians on duty in cafeteria. Um we pay our share of electricity service fees. Uh most of the service fees are going to be like the computer software licensers that uh so a reimburseable meal. This is what the meals have to have to qualify as a reimburseable meal. Um we have audits every four years to make sure that we're on track. So grades kindergarten through 5th. I know you can probably hardly see it. They have to have two and a half cups of fresh fruits. Um, and that's a week and the brackets per day. So, have to have half of a cup per day. Vegetables, they we have to offer three and 3/4 cups a week and they have
074to offer 3/4 of cups a day. Um, and then the vegetables are divided into subgroups. So we have to offer half of a cup of dark green subgroup, 3/4 cup of red orange subgroup which would be carrots, tomatoes, etc. Um, peas and lentils, half a cup every week we have to offer. And then the starchy subgroup, which is the other kind of peas like green peas and potatoes, that kind of thing, we have to offer half of the fats every week. Um, and then we have because that doesn't add up to the total of the vegetables, then we have to also add another cup of additional vegetables and other vegetables. So, those are two other different groups. And basically what those are is just the other subgroups. We just qualify them as other and additional.
075And we also have to offer um eight to nine grains a week, a minimum of one grain a day. meats and that's ounces. Meats we do we have for eight to 10 ounces um per week, one drink per day, and then a cup of milk. And that's for K5. And as you can see, there's each a group for each one. Um K5 and eight, they overlap a little bit. So what we do is a food pattern of K8 and then we just go for little overlapping numbers. For instance over on the other side it's a calories minimum and maximum. You see that the K5 minimum and maximum calories is 550 to 650 but the 650 to 600 is 700. So my goal is to have it between 600 and 650 calories for each uh A8
076student. Then high school is a bit more. So that on the other side is the nutrients the the meats, fruits and everything those are called components in our world and the other ones are called nutrients. So we have to offer less than 10% saturated fat 10% of must be 10% of added sugars and that's going to change and I will talk about that another slide also and the sodium limit we have a sodium in place through 2027 and then it will go lower right now it's um 10 milligrams it will go to 935 milligrams which I'm sure that you demand Imagine a little salt. So >> get more salt standing on those element element drinks. >> Yeah. >> Or salt drinks basically. >> It's so um the kids have to say well this is um
077what is this? Oh this is breakfast. The same thing. So this is our minimums and maximums for breakfast. What we do is offer versus serve. So we have to offer this stuff, but the kids only have to take part of it. So lunch, we have to offer five components. They have to take three. One of those three has to be a food. And um breakfast, we offer four. They have to take as well. Um and then like I said, we do breakfast in the classroom for little kids. And so it's all sent to the classroom and they take what they want. Teachers make sure that they have a reimburseable meal and then they mark off their names on the roster and our the carryover is so um carried over for K for all the grades
078that we can do actually a K12 K12 as far as calories and such. So we will go between 500 calories and or 400 calories sorry 450 450 calories and 500 calories. So there 50 calorie difference there. And I do have a computer program that helps me figure all that stuff out. I don't have to do it all by myself. And what we do is we get manufactured product formulation statements that guarantee as far as ounces of grains and meats are in our foods. And then I have a whole other chart that I can use to um figure out the calories and and all of that stuff. Um so back to USDA foods. Like I said, we get 45 cents for each lunch served. Um, we've been pushing I some of you probably know I go
079to Washington DC every year and talk legislators. Um, we're trying to get them to give us the money for breakfast that we've served previous year as well. And so far that hasn't worked out. But the 45 cents per meal that we use the year before we use for fresh produce. Um, direct delivery, which is stuff that's already made to us. Usually that's fajita chicken. a few things like that. Uh diversion is what I was talking about when we sent the cheese to get made out of pizza made into pizza. NI is called is that invoice is kind of like an there's some foods that we bid on at Cisco through our purchasing co-op on and that's why and then the red is that comes out of all that that so we get charged storage fees
080administrative fees and processing fees for all that process per pound storage fees is per case. All of our food is all of our USDA food goes to a warehouse in Idaho because they got the bid from OD just not anything we had to do with and then uh they sent it to us. Some of the grants that we have like I mentioned the fresh fruit vegetable program this year we have $24,000 in that um how they calculate that is $68 per student and that's five based on the October report. Um so we have to make sure that it's a sample program. We can't have that at meals. It's just for sample programs working out of that. No, the farmers market is a competitive grant, a competitive state farm to school education grant that actually is
081not open up this year. So won't be able to have it current farmers market farm to school non-competitive grant that is a state grant and it's goes bianium. This year we have only $4,354. I was a little disappointed that number, but it is using the total meal counts from July of 24 to March 25, but when that runs out, we get it to exactly zero, then we can apply for a competitive grant, which I usually do every year. And I've never modified. So, we'll be able to use that for farm to school funds. Anything that's grown or produced recorded and you can use for farm to school. Uh except for like the pizza from Clakamus, they we've been able to do that, but this year we can't. And then we get our tortillas from Eugene.
082We used to be able to do use that our cheese and cook chips. We won't be able to use it for that. But at the end of last year, I was able to buy salmon from Pacific Seafood and shrimp Pacific Seafood. And um so it's not just recent vegetable farmers like Mama Keys that's out kind of across from Blackwell Park. We had a lot of our fruits and vegetables from them under under this program as well. And then um the dairy council was developing some recipes to figure out the cutting and the sugar from our new regulations. and we helped them out by doing some student case tests and they awarded us $2,000 in the grant from a kitchen manufacturing company. So, I was able to get a few extra pieces of equipment with that
083which was kind of a nice bonus and we got to some input on the kids' um what they care for. We do taste testings a lot. This is kind of a fun speed. um some of the things that are going on in our future. There's currently 37 federal nutrition bills in Congress right now. Of course, a lot of those will die. Um there was a few locally in the state, too. One of those was premiums for all that did die last year. Um we were we did get a local food for schools grant canled in March. We would have gotten $6,853 from that. That's a federal grant that we had to see. We'd only seen it at one time anyway. So if you hear any rumors or veterans about that, that's what that one was.
084Um there are now Medicaid recipients. I believe that you guys have probably heard about that. Um so what that would mean is less kids that would be directly certified for CP, but again ours our certification does not expire until after the 2728 school year. So that's a little bit further out out away from that. Um some of the proposed nutrition guidelines are still up in the air. Um for instance, uh food diet those up sugar. So of course you know and the national school lunch program we're required to follow the dietary guidelines for Americans and it will be coming out again soon. So when that happens then we we the USDA reviews that and then it kind of trickles down to us what our new regulations will be. Right now what I would see is
085possible increased labor costs and less appeal when we're talking about the lower sodium etc. If kids are used to eating potato chips at home they have school and eat potato chips and no salt. Of course they're not our saltless potato chips. My dad was talking about how he opened up a can of cheese the other day. He ate them and they were disgusting. He couldn't figure out why he could label them salties. You know, it's kind of the same thing. You get your taste buds, you everything. Um, so new as of July of 2025, so last two months ago, 10% of the annual food costs, there's a 10% cap on our annual food cost of buy American. that changes that we we were always required to buy American the maximum extent feasible. There's some things
086that are just grown in America like bananas. Um and so what we would have to do is fill out a special justification paper saying we're serving these bananas. We could get them in America and this is why and we keep that on file. So now even we have that paper we can still have a cap of 2%. So for instance I got cucumbers this week for uh the camp and they were growing in Mexico. So that will be deducted from my um 10%. And then in 2829 that cap is going to lower to 8%. Next school year 3132 it will lower 5%. The good thing is all of our manufacturers, a lot of our manufacturers, they manufacture just specifically for schools and we do have a little bit of time for them to work on
087some of these things, tweak some of these things, especially so sugars. But those manufacturers also produce for retail. So it takes them time to switch over their lines to do things for us. Like for instance, the pizza that I was talking about, if you do, if you get the same brand retail pizza, it's not going to have whole grain. It's not going to have lower sodium, lower fat cheese, but it'll look exactly the same, but they manufacture pizza for specifically for schools with our regulations. Um, so this is our monthly participation comparison since COVID. Before COVID, we were rocking it. We were doing about 77%. Um the green is the lunch and the reddish orange is the breakfast. After co um things have really slowed down. They are picking up a bit. Uh also high
088school they weren't eating breakfast on Mondays because of late start and they started eating breakfast on Mondays again this year. So it's bumped it up a little bit. So we're slowly climbing back up to precoid. Um, our percentage right now is about 64% of our ADA average daily attendants are actually eating. I don't like analyzing through the average day of membership because there's a lot of it's on our membership list that are members of our school district, but like our home school or online or left, that kind of thing. Um, so we are slowly going up and we still are above industry average and above state average. state average is about 47% and like I said we're about 64ish >> not chicken wings >> it must not >> close campus that would help >> it
089would maybe a lot of kids a lot of kids they'll go downtown and get food and they come back up oh that's nice >> shared Dairy Queen Dairy Queen >> I know there's some speed infractions there >> we were Of course, my mom district some of the new things we're working on. Um, last year we started breakfast in the hallway with grades 6 through 12. Uh, basically we had a kiosk hallway in the commons area and that was that enabled us to serve more variety and more hot meals. Um, so we have like a it looks like a chicken nugget, but it's sausage and gravy. It's really light. We were able to do French toast sticks. Some of the more hard foods that the kids would eat, they would be able to serve before because
090when we do breakfast in the classroom, we have to have the day ahead of time. I don't have enough personnel and I don't think that it would go over very well in the elementary. what we're doing in the elementary great because we have captive a lotments so we can make sure that they sit and eat while they do their opening calendar that kind of thing but it's really helped our breakfast um numbers stuff grades 6 through 12 and today I just signed a thing to do a waffle maker for the high school you know how you go to a hotel and they have their free breakfast and you have a waffle maker you make your own see company we're going to have it in middle of the commons of the high school they'll have they
091will They need they pour their own batter and then they don't cook for a waffle. We have two staff members there, two kitchen staff members there keep an eye on everything, make sure everybody's being safe and all that as well. Um, and make sure they don't, you know, >> but we have to serve all year long because we know >> then >> like I said, we got some salmon. Um, so we're trying to do more indigenous foods. Uh, some elk, some elk bers, salmon. Uh, when we did try out the sound, we've only tried it once last year and we ran out. >> It was good. >> Yeah, I did a >> That's why you ran out. I did blackberry with it on top and usually didn't care for that but we served it with
092the biscuit and so really when I saw first didn't like it and then we encouraged them to use it as the biscuit >> and that worked out really well. Um, one of the things that I got with the food tasting from the dairy council was a panini machine. So, the kids are going to pre-order, be able to pre-order pine, it says 612, but we're gonna Yeah. 612. Yeah. Middle and high school. So, they'll pre-order by 9:00 and then we'll make it ahead of time. They'll be able to be in a warmer kind of like a deli warmer, which also help that wrap. So, they'll be able to get the fruits and vegetables, grab that, and go check out and get be able to get through the line a little bit sooner. Like I said, it
093will be to their desire. They get big cheese. They pick what kind of meat, they'll have their name and number on it and their name and lunch number on it. >> Again, um our regulations for less added sugars. This year, the less added sugars only encompass milk, yogurt, and cereal. Usually don't serve yogurt. So, it wasn't an issue because it always had sugar in it from the beginning. So, I never did it because it's messy. Milk reformulation. When I did the bid for our milk, it's it's a 13 school group bid, but I was the person that did the RFP for all 13 schools, and that's one of the things that I put in the bid. We have to have the new milk formulation. Dairy Gold did reformulate the milk for us. So, we're in
094compliance with that. Um, cereals, we usually don't have them, but this year I did add it onto the breakfast menu, but we're doing Cheerios, which has hardly any added sugar at all. So what's the time frame that kids can come and get breakfast? >> They can come. We're required to serve breakfast after the bell up until 20 minutes before we serve lunch. So if anybody comes in late or anything, we have a cooler in the high in the elementary office that they can come and get something from and write down the kids's name or they can send it directly to us if it's at the other schools or they can call us and we we'll have a runner run stuff out. So, anytime that they get here, between when they get here and twice before
095lunch, but in the classrooms, um, it start at about 8:30 and we pick everything up by 9:00, 8:55. So, it's the first half hour of the day. >> So, there's still some going to classrooms in the morning. >> Elementary's going to class, >> but high school, >> high school, they gra they grab it and take it to the class and you still eat it in the classroom. >> Okay. Yeah. Well, because I'm just thinking that there's buses that pull in sometimes five minutes before the bell rings >> and if we hear that there's a bus like we just make sure that everything's out longer. >> Those kids they hit that kiosk pretty hard. There's one at the middle and then there's one. >> We have our lunch computers right there. So their numbers >> because
096that hotel numbers too. I'm just remembering it's like wow >> well I saw sometimes >> there's a whole another formulation that are require that require schools have breakfast after the bell and we are one of those schools it is required to have breakfast after the bell >> okay eats as well >> so at lunchtime I mean at summertime this is one of my favorite pictures this is this picture's actually been all over the nation it's actually from COVID but it's been on news stories nationally and everything else is really cool. It's Becky handing somebody a co lunch basically. Um, this year we did non- congregate meals at the park and at the ground museum. Um, and what we did was we did five days worth of breakfast, five days worth of lunch and handed it
097out on Thursdays and that helped people over the whole um week. So, and there was a cap of 90 meals. So, but it's at 900 meals that we would basically give out on Thursdays. Um, up here for summer school, we kept it congregate normal. The kids came in and ate breakfast, went to summer school, and came back and ate lunch. But, uh, 4,046 meals is what we serve this year. Um I believe that next year we'll probably do the non- congregate in um June, end of June and beginning of August as well, not just the month of July and that also bump those numbers up a bit. But that's a pretty average number for summer meals. We usually break it about even but that's what we want to do. It's a nonprofit camp at the
098food bank. Seems like that would be closer to where a lot of those kids. >> Yeah. And a lot of times um when we do things like mixed meals, we make sure that we're not competing with food bank and that it's a day that maybe out of that to get. Um, some of the other special projects we did, we did our farmers market the fall. First time we did a fall one. It was very popular against black and center. I'm going to try to apply for that grant. We did a um a few little bit of extra money left over from that. So, we did a root viewer. I went to every single class and taught them how to grow a plant in the root viewer. You can see the roots down at the bottom
099and up the top. So we talked we had lessons about germination each kids got one of these take home plus a seed a planter a little disc that you add water to a dirt so that they can grow their own at home. Um I enter that those projects into the uh school of nutrition uh innovation and we ended up with an innovation and nutrition education for that. And that's it. I'm sorry. >> So that's why I was saying how awesome she is because she does [Music] >> where I'm from. It's not done that way. >> Try to be >> I think it's important. I think it's important for us to get out of the kitchen and everybody see our faces. Um, we give away trading cards with the lunch ladies pictures on them and if
100the kids get a set of lunch ladies and they come back, they get a little prize that we have trained up here and there and helps kids to for us to get out to know the kids trust everybody. I think it's everybody knows >> dance parties too. >> Last time we had trading cards, we had the secretaries and we had SRO's counselors etc. I think you >> Thank you for your time again. I apologize that I was late. >> Timing was great. >> Anything else? >> Yes, just a shout out. Try to get numbers, but um we had great group of businesses and individuals. Angus April and Craig. Thank you. Clint was awesome. because it takes community to help support kids. That's what uh No, we're good. That's some the usual stuff that always shows
101up. Division 22 will be the next big one that we got to talk through. That's all the compliance law. So that's except for one that I got extension. >> Um I'm going to try to plan to have another meeting probably November again. I think that worked out well. So, um, >> is it is it best to have it in the tribal council area or should we do it at like a new preschool so people can see it? >> I was wondering if we could get a tour. >> Come on out. I'll show you around. But >> if you guys want a plan to be there, I can tour. I think that would be I think that would >> Yeah. No, and it's a great facility. I actually um orchestrated a meeting between Angie and uh
102Children's out of Portland. I was so impressed with that facility and they have resources to help staff and things like that guys. So, they have some empty spaces. I would love to see our community fill up qualified staff to do that. So Motion second to the journal says thank
