I can't wait to tell your teachers how awesome you did tonight. All right. And then um uh we just need uh the consent agenda if we have a motion to approve that. I move that we approve the consent agenda. >> All right. And is there a second? I second. And any discussion? All in favor? >> I. >> And any opposed? All right. Thank you. And then back again. We have our Liberty and Vmont PTAs tonight. So, you're up. If you wouldn't mind coming up to do the PTA report now. We're ready. You're okay. >> We'll start with Liberty. >> You want to come? >> Okay. I'm Lindsay

004Wilcox. I'm the PTA president at Liberty Elementary. And so we there's mainly just three women and we're running all of it. Um but we just finished our book fair and teacher dinners for this most recent um we do it during the PTA or the sorry I'm frazzled from driving um we do it during the parent teacher conference um every year. So we just finished that and then we do a holiday gift shop for um kids. they can all come to that and pay a dollar for each item and get something for their families for Christmas, for the holidays. So, um, we've run that for a few years. Um, and then before that, we do a turkey trot every year. We have a teacher who loves to jog and she will run with the kids and

005she ran with every single class. She took a little break in between, but it's great. She dresses up in a turkey costume and runs with them. Um, and then, uh, in years past, they have each taken home a frozen turkey. Um, but we heard feedback that a lot of them didn't want the turkey because they already had one for Thanksgiving or they didn't know how to cook it. And so this year we got little turkey stuffies from Target and they loved that. So >> that's cute. >> Um, that'll probably be the new tradition is turkey stuffy and and candy bars with a turkey on them because they love candy. So, um, and oh, and then also we were really excited to do, um, a carnival for the first time. We didn't do inflatables this year

006and so we pulled off a carnival. The weather was really bad when we did it in October. It was raining and cold and so we ended up doing it in the cafeteria and it was really fun. We had a lot of people there. We had a Barbie dunk tank where you throw the ball and it's like a dunk tape for a person, but it's for a Barbie and the Barbies would go in the dunk tank. and we had um bobbing for ducks and just different activities and it was really fun. So, any questions about the PTA? >> Thanks for doing what you do. Wouldn't be the same without you. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Thank you. And Vmont. >> It's Valentine's Day for Vmont and for us. So, we have a little treat for you

007guys. Melanie's gonna come bring it up if you guys want it. Um I have to write all my stuff down. You did so good without notes. I have to have my paper. But um hello board members and members of the community. So my name is Taran McDonald and I have the privilege of serving as PTA president at Vumont Elementary. Um thank you so much for the opportunity to share some of the ways our PTA has supported our school this year. At Vumont, we believe that PTA's role is to strengthen our school community by supporting students, teachers, and staff and by creating meaningful opportunities that bring families in school together. When families feel connected to the school, students thrive. One of the ways we foster that connection is through our family movie night. We introduced this

008event introduced this event last year and it has quickly become a favorite tradition. We hold it in the Vmont gym and families can bring lawn chairs, blankets, and pillows creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere. And then we provide free popcorn for everyone that comes and then optional concessions are available as well. Um, last year we showed The Goofy Movie and this year we featured The Emperor's New Groove. We tried to select films that both the kids and the parents will like and can enjoy together. Um, we hosted over a holiday weekend and that's been meaningful because PE the families have a place to go and something to do and they've enjoyed that. Um, another highlight of our year is the fun run. In recent years, we have intentionally invited families to attend and actively participate. Last

009year's bubble run allowed parents to cheer on the students while blowing bubbles along the course. And this year, we hosted a color run color run and provided every student with a color run t-shirt and helped build unity across the school. We still see them wearing their shirts now. And it's so fun. We get really excited about it. um the parents that volunteered at the stations throughout the course. So, we had different tables along the course and there was different chalk colors at different tables and then parents that would be at each table and they would squirt these little squirt bottles of colored chalk at the kids. And then parents were also able to purchase like a bag if they wanted to have it there and to be able to throw it at the kids too

010or toss it, sprinkle it. Um, and it was a joyful experience and it brought the entire school and community together and it was just a lot of fun to have everyone come together and have a good time and something that they can remember. We are also looking forward to our upcoming VIP breakfast. Last year this event was incredibly special for the kids and their VIPs that they invited. Students invited a V VIP in their life to join them for breakfast at the school and we were honored to have Superintendent Coington there, Mr. Mr. Wiihongi, Miss Smith, and Miss Murray, and then PTA members and even students from Riverview helped serve. So, it was like this whole community thing. It was really great. And we had over 450 people sign up to come. And so, we

011expanded it this year to two mornings. So, we're going to be doing on March 5th, A through M, and March 6, N through Z, like their last names starting with those letters, so that we can accommodate everybody. And then we also put board games on the table so the students and the VIPs have a fun activity to do while they eat. And we would love for you guys to come if you would like to join us this year because you are the all VIPs for our community and schools with all that you guys do for us. And in addition to these larger events, we also support monthly programs that bring joy to the students such as the Eagle Store. And I think some of you saw that it was going on when um Banji got

012her award. Um, but students earn tickets through positive behavior and accomplishments which they can use to purchase items such as lanyards, treats, 3D printed animals, etc. A bunch of different items or they can also purchase special activities. We call these activities our eagle experiences and they are some of our more exciting rewards that the kids like to purchase. Um, the eagle experience is where students can purch themed activities such as we did Christmas karaoke that was a blast. We have a temporary tattoo parlor coming up that Miss Smith will be putting the tattoos on the kids and we'll be playing games and stuff like that. And then sports activities with the high school students that we typically do at the end of the year when it's a little bit warmer and we did it last

013year and a couple years before that and the students love it. And these opportunities reinforce positive behavior while creating memorable experiences for our students. And we are incredibly grateful for Miss Smith, our teachers and staff, and the many parents who generously give their time and energy to make these events possible. The collaboration and kindness within the Vmont community are what truly make these efforts successful. We could not do any of it without their help and support. And thanks again for allowing us to share about what's going on at PTA and at Vmont Elementary. And my kids were going to come and share their favorite thing about PTA. Come on. The PT is done. >> I choose Ollie to help. You want to come first? We'll have hurry. a school party. I like how the the

014PTA made the fun run fun. Um, I really liked the what's the name again? Oh, yeah. The beginning of the year movie night. It was really fun. And it's not like a mandatory thing like you have to stay in this spot, this room. Like you get to choose your spot and you can go leave whenever you want. And it was just all around really fun. >> Thanks guys. >> Thank you. Thanks for all you do over there, Taran. It's awesome. All right, and then we'll move to the um MEA and we have Mr. Alred here to report. >> Thank you. Nice to see you all today. Um I can just quickly vouch for our PTA. I'm grateful for that. I know all the teachers are where those long weeks like this week, it's nice to

015be fed. It's nice to just have some extra things. So, thank you. And I served on PTA board with them last year and it was just a lot of fun to help the school. So, um, just a few quick things to report on. I mean, obviously legislative session's going on and, uh, we're all keeping our eyes on that. Um, uh, we, uh, wanted to note, uh, House Bill 150 we know in advance from the House and, uh, that one's, um, we're just kind of hopeful that one passes. That one I know deals with the, uh, school counselors getting funding. And so, um, we're grateful for that. I think they'll, uh, do good things with that. Um, we're looking forward also, we're meeting with you next week with district leadership meeting. And so we're grateful for

016your uh ears on that and just the communication. Um and then I know several teachers have attended educator day on the hill and so again grateful for your cooperation on that one. That's a really good thing to just get involved and have teachers go up there and and and see the process. Um and we're grateful for the legislators for having us up there. Um, I know many teachers are of course anxious about the reconfiguration and we know we've been listening in on the study sessions as the executive board and and are grateful for your solutions um and just thoughtfulness in and trying to solve the new change. It's a big deal and um yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that all shakes out. But we're uh just grateful for all of you and and

017all you do. Um and so that's it. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right. And then um Mr. Kaufman for the Murray Association of Administrators. Feel like a a sheep if I say ma. >> Well, that's all right. I Yeah, we feel the same way sometimes, but uh no, I just want to thank you for this opportunity. Um don't have anything really to present. I do have to say hearing about Liberty's turkey run brought back memories of Mr. Dean in that in that outfit. So, I just it's made my whole evening. But, uh no, appreciate the support you guys give. And I kind of want to just reiterate, good luck with what the legislation drops on us and interpreting it and letting us know what we do with it. And uh as administrators, we're hitting

018that busy busy time of year in town, too. So, if you ever want to stop by and just say, "Hey, I think they'd probably appreciate it." Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right. And then we've got um Mr. Bernett here for me with no report, but we appreciate his support and presence. Thanks for being here. And then we've have uh Mr. Perry with the Murray Education Foundation. >> Thank you for giving me a couple minutes. So, we're kind of right in the middle of a busy time for for the foundation, but uh we just concluded the pickle ball tournament, which is a fundraiser for unified sports, and I'm happy to report that we were able to meet our goal and be able to completely fund the unified sports program for the year. So, that's

019fantastic. We really appreciate our sponsors and registrants uh who played and hopefully had a great time. It seemed like it was a great event. Uh we also uh want to congratulate our Pinnacle Award winners for the year. Um that's been announced and and uh we were able to surprise some folks last week. That was a lot of fun. So, congratulations to Lisa Pearson from Parkside Elementary, Angie Thompson from McMillan Elementary, Becky Powell from Long View, Long View Elementary, Amy Knox from Murray High School, Vanji Watts from Bumont Elementary, Chris Westerfield from the district office Junior High. Uh Denise McDougall was our volunteer of the year from out of Horizon Elementary. and Earl Kaufman was our uh Riverview was our administrator of the year for Riverview Junior High. So, congratulations to all of them. We have

020our uh gayla dinner honoring them and I think most of you should have your invitations. I think a couple of you may have even responded already uh for March the 5th at 6 PM at the Murray High School Commons. So, come one, come all. Thanks. >> Thank you. All right. And did we have any patron statements tonight? All right. Thank you. And then we'll move to the report of the board and we'll start down here so Cammy can have a chance before she has to go. But we'll start with Elizabeth if Right. >> I was like that's a new one. >> Okay. So, um, in the last month I was able to attend the joint band concert that featured bands from and symphonies from Murray High, uh, Riverview and Hillrest. And I just want to

021say they did a really amazing job. I think it was the best show that I have been to yet. I was really impressed. Um, also would like to give a shout out to our teachers and our PTAs for um, supporting parent teacher conferences this week. I know that is a tough pull and we appreciate everything that you do for us. Um, and then looking ahead um, looking forward to attending Pinnacle um, for a few weeks, I guess. >> Thank you, Cammy. >> Um, I don't have anything to report, but thank you for allowing me to be excused. Um, to attend the drill, end of year showcase, seven years of drill is coming to an end tonight. >> Thanks, Kelly. >> Um, well, I want to first of all, uh, speak on behalf of my family

022and some members of my community who love the pickle ball tournament. I did not play, which was a good thing. But um but they loved it even though they didn't win. I said to my nephew, "Are you sad you didn't win?" He said, "I had a great time." So, please come and have a great time. Um and I appreciate all that Doug and and the MEF does to put that together. I also want to really thank um Lindsay and Taran for what they do in their PTAs. I I get a little bit of that report back every month and and um it's just nice to know that there are great things happening in schools that that encourage academics but also uh just provide some good community spirit. Um and and it is and in as

023much as Sheree Larson is here, we need to thank her for all of her leadership in that PTA role. She's been doing it for well, I won't say hundred years, but quite a while and and you need to be acknowledged, share, for all the good work that you do to help these ladies and and men run those organizations. Um, also it's it's my privilege to serve with the attendance committee and and that continues to be a a great source of ideas to hopefully encourage children to attend. Um, and that's I think all I have this month except the legisl session. What a thrill. >> Thanks. I will start with the legislative session. Um I really appreciate so um Fridays we meet with schoolboard members, superintendents and business administrators across the state and kind of go

024through the upcoming education bills and um vote as a body to either support them or um not support them. And then that way they can kind of look and see what the education community feels about things. And um I really appreciate um I have felt through the years kind of a a pendulum swing and it kind of felt pretty heavy and negative. And this year I'm seeing a little bit of twinkle of um more support and more communication. We've had more legislators come into that meeting and that body to speak about their bills. I've had more responses from representatives this year than I ever have before. Um, and there's really good conversations going. Um, and I'm really grateful to that. So, um, our representatives, um, that represent our area here are typically very supportive of

025public education and I appreciate them for that. Um, and I appreciate, um, any legislator that's willing to um, dialogue with educators because that's there's a lot of education bills every year. Um, but that's all I'll say about that one. Um I too appreciate the attendance committee and hopefully you guys have noticed the signs outside the buildings with encouragement and um that team is really fantastic and the data that we see from that committee is really fun to look at and um just really creative things happening there. Um, and then Jill and I were able to attend a sources of strength training with Sierra Marsh and um, her team of people. And I am very grateful for any kind of supports that we have for our um, students in helping them recognize the resilience that they

026have and the strengths that they have and the resources that are present um, and kind of that upstream approach. And I'm sure Sierra is going to talk a little bit about that in her part. Um, but it was really neat because we were able to go to that training and see the materials and do some of the activities. And then there was people from the community that are willing to step up and help fund raise um to cover because funding for that. Those kinds of things are always legislatively in question. So, we're grateful that there's people in the community that care about it and people of influence that were willing to take the time to find out more about it and just a lot of excitement around that. Um, and then um just as kind

027well, it's only February, but it feels like the ball is rolling towards the end of the year, but just um grateful as as Cammy's wrapping up a whole legacy of drill. um just finishing our last basketball season and and sat down to write my daughter's little highlight for her senior night and kind of got tearary because we have had an athlete at Murray High School for the past 13 years every single year and we just played our last game last night. So, um but just appreciate the pep band that comes and plays and the cheerleaders and the drill and the dance company and the community. I love our sports programs and the community support that we have and I just love my job and being part of the community and um doing my little part

028to make things a little brighter when it seems kind of heavy out there some days. But um um that is my report and I would love to turn some time over to um business administrator Ree. >> Okay. Well uh this will be short, nothing flowery. Well, this will be Earllesque in in nature. Uh, so it's uh I' I've uh submitted my notice to the board that I intend to retire at the end of this year. And so the ball is now going to be rolling to uh to select a replacement that will start some probably sometime in Octo uh excuse me in August uh start of the school year and then I'll I'll stay on for a month a few months just to kind of make sure everything uh rolls along nicely. So anyway, just

029that's all. >> Well, I would like to just publicly thank you, Rich, for all that you've done. And I really appreciated um when I was new to the board, the extensive training and time that you took to help me understand how things go and know that um Jill had the same experience and I'm sure that they did as well. But we have really appreciated your leadership and um just guidance on all the money things because school finance is not an easy thing to maneuver and you've done it well and we appreciate you and your time and um you will be missed. >> Thank you. >> So thank you. Thank you. Right. We'll go into the report of the staff and we have first um uh looks like Mr. Mr. Wihongi and Miss Olsen is coming

030with a recognition of career and technical education month. >> Well, how do you follow Rich's announcement? That was a bit of a bombshell right there. Uh Rich is a good man and I've appreciated being able to get to know him these last four years since I've come to the district office. So, we'll miss him. Um, first of all, I just want to say it is so lovely to see old students here with lovely families and have grown. So, I I I know Austin. You've surprised I remember your name, too. I don't often remember these old student names. So, but just a good man and what a beautiful family he has. I'd love seeing the the circle of life come around again. So um this month is CTE month and so uh the theme for CTE

031month we recognize the work of CTE and and all the good things it does for our students. Um the theme is the future of work powered by CTE. And so I think that theme um I'm going to guess is we we focus a lot on new technologies like AI and how AI the scary part of AI is it's going to take a lot of the jobs um in the future. are some of the jobs that are currently um um in place but but CTE offers a lot of opportunity which AI can't touch and so there's a lot of trades and and skilled prof professions that AI is not able to to replicate when it comes to it. So perhaps that's the reason the state has this this theme of the future of work powered by

032CTE. Um so in the background so so um on the next slide Jen this year the the state rolled out uh a a a durable skills sort of um theme which you know we've we've visited a lot of industries over the last few years as CT directors in the valley and the one common thing that we often hear from them is we need employees who can show up who can follow through, who can be responsible, who can communicate well and and develop positive relationships. We don't hear a lot about we we need them coming in knowing how to code or how to, you know, um fix an engine in a car. That's not what we're hearing. We're hearing about these. So, the state recognized that durable skills are an important um uh workforce trait. And

033so that graphic there are the priorities when it comes to the the durable skills such as lead leadership and communication and adaptability and so forth. We hope that's still okay after this current legislative session because I know there's legislation that's kind of putting on the chopping block a lot of the sort of the social skill type of thing that that um you often find in in the schools. But those are important. We we absolutely know those are important traits that industry is asking our kids to come to the workforce with because a lot of times they don't sometimes they have a uh issues with showing up or have issues with communicating well. So um so that's been the the priority with roll out this year with CTE. So the rest and we can move forward.

034Chantel Olsen here as you are aware is our CTE coordinator. She does an an amazing job with the programs, not just at the high school, but in our district. And so I'm going to turn some time over to her to highlight some of the things that that are going on with our CTE programs. >> Okay. So, um, on a personal note, um, so attendance is more likely to happen when a student has multiple CTE courses. And I know that the attendance work the district is doing is really working because um my kids go to Long View and my son got the flu and my daughter said, "Please make sure to call the school because you signed that paper to let the school know." So I did. Um all right. So here are our clusters. So

035under the clusters are the pathways. We won't get into it, but you can look at them. But the most important part of CTE is the students. and we work with SBTV, which is a CTE course. It's video broadcasting one and two if they take it all year. Um, and they did a highlight for CTE month and it's pretty cool. So, you guys can watch it hopefully >> the month of >> Sorry, I Let's try that again. >> Be aware of >> for the month that we call February. is the month dedicated to the CTE. >> If a nurse or construction worker you want to be, well then watch this segment. I'll let it be seen. >> Our CTE teachers inspire us in so many ways. They show us that love isn't just a feeling. It's

036the hard work you put in, the equipment you care for, and the students you push to be better. >> So, we're passing the torch to teachers who love their jobs and love teaching us. >> I'm Chef Gray. I teach foods, nutrition, culinary 1, culinary 2, culinary 3. There is a competition next week, right? And it's going to be a lot of fun. Go join it. Uh, I'm going to pass the torch to someone who loves water skiing. >> Yes. I'm Quint Drury. I teach the woodworking and the construction. On the 9th, there's going to be a nail driving contest. You do not want to miss it. Winners, huge prizes. Huge. I'm going to pass this to my good friend who loves automobiles and cars. Here you go. >> Okay. I'm Mr. Lewick, the new automotive

037teacher here at the high school. Uh if you haven't taken auto or you're interested, just come stop by, check out the classroom. We're doing cool stuff this year. So, we have on February 12th our CTE Olympics. Uh we'll be having a little booth out there, so come see us at lunch. Then I'm going to pass the torch to a teacher who loves robotics and programming. Thank you. I'm Mr. Winder. I teach robotics. We're going to be doing a robotics highlight on the 18th during lunch. We're going to be doing a robotics um obstacle course that you can compete in. Robotics is about building and programming a robot and refining it over the course of the year. Uh so you'll get to work in a team. It's a lot of fun. It's I hope to see

038you there. If you are interested in robotics, you should consider taking my class and working hard. I'm going to pass the torch on to a teacher whose work is literal art. >> I'm Miss Bradstre. I teach human development, sources of strength, financial literacy, interior design, and food and nutrition. On February 10th, we're holding an interior design competition during lunch. And I'm passing the torch to a teacher who makes everyone feel seen and loved and has a great classroom environment. Hi, my name is Dixie Davis. I am the nail tech teacher. I teach nail tech one, two, and advanced. It's obviously pretty self-explanatory, too. And then our advanced goes to lensure. So, it's a full year-long class. Our nail tech one and two are semester classes. Check it out. We'd love to have you in our

039class. We have a CT Olympics going on um the 24th of February. Come join us at both lunches. We're going to be doing some fun activities with polishing. I am going to pass this torch to someone that tries to make you look good on camera. >> I'm going to be so >> Hello, I'm Mars and I teach Spartan Vision. Um, we're an awesome community and media team that creates content for the school. And I'm passing the torch to the teacher that loves helping you succeed in the business world. >> Hi, I'm Mrs. Worby and I teach business law, a field trip to the Mat Courthouse, and check out what the actual courtrooms look like. And we usually get to talk to a Utah Supreme Court justice in the Utah Supreme Court room, which is pretty

040awesome. We'll have a lunch activity talking about business and marketing. We hope to see you there. And I'll pass the torch to someone who loves our human body. Hi, I'm Miss Karns and I teach sports medicine. Uh students learn things like taping injuries, um providing emergency care, evaluating athletes, and working with athletic trainers like myself. Provides concurrent enrollment uh credits with Weaver State University. So, if you any of that interests you, we'd love to have you in sports medicine. And now, I'm going to pass the torch to someone who loves teaching about child development. Hi. Hi. My name is Julie Hatch in the CT department. I teach child development, early child education one, two, and three. I teach interior design and I teach medical terminology. The um back to lunch activity is are you smarter

041than a preschooler? And they are pretty darn smart. So I don't know. And I'm going to hand this off to a teacher who loves science. Hi, I'm Mrs. Banks and I'm here to talk to you about biotechnology. Biotechnology is an introductory biotechnology course from UVU and we explore all the things that we can use cells and bi biology for. I'm going to turn this back to you and this is the reason we love what we do. These teachers taught us to love the craft and love what we do. >> So now we are passing the torch to you. >> Join us for CTE Olympics throughout the month of February and discover your own passion. >> Yeah. So cute. >> So um those So a few highlights of the video. Um our nail tech. Yeah. It

042goes on. Um the nail tech we take to full license. So we have Doppel state license. We're a licensed nail tech school and we take them all the way to a state license. Um, and you'll notice all the courses they name, and as a former CTE teacher, um, Miss Cington knows this, that they teach so many preps. So, they teach more preps than anybody else in the building. So, it really is, um, a labor of love for everyone. So, we've had new courses every year. We did not do a new course for the next year, for the 2627 school year. That's crazy to say um that we're that far along, but um we brought on new courses last year, which we'll talk about in a second, but you can see this. These are handouts we

043have for our parents. It's on the website. It's double-sided. So, that next page you can go to is just the second page. Um and these are courses that when you guys um you know, go to high school, you get to pick all of these courses. And anything that's blue is also a college class. So, it's a concurrent enrollment class. Anything pink counts for your digital studies credit. Um, so it's kind of a one-stop shop for all CTE pathways and we do chords. Um, and our goal is to do more each year. So, we're on track to do that. And, um, this kind of shows the number of courses we offer. And we offer um, as much as anyone else in the valley, even though we have a smaller population, which is so impressive. And it's

044because of those teachers teaching multiple courses. But you can look through the numbers. Um, and there's links as well in throughout the presentation if you wanted more information. But, um, our CTSOs, that's what the pictures are. Our CTSOs go to the junior highs and present to their CCA classes and talk about joining HOSA, Skills USA, FBA, etc., Educators Rising. And, um, those boys on the bottom are Skills USA. And I judge for Skills USA this year. And there's a boy there that I didn't say two words. And as he presented, he did such an amazing job. Welcome judges. I'm going to teach you how to frame a doorway and walk through it perfectly with no mistakes. And I would have never guessed walking down the hallway that that kid can frame a door, but he

045can. So, um, this is a document put out by the state office. They generally have one for Murray specifically, but they're late on their data. So this is for the statewide and you can kind of see a few numbers there. More likely to graduate if you take more than one CTE class, the top pathways, um involvement in CTSOs, um credentials of value certifications. So we do Adobe, we have um business office specialist at the junior high and hope that hopefully that bring comes to us as the ninth grade comes. Um food handlers permits, nail tech licenses, fire science, wildland, fire. they don't accept that in there. So, um, we do a few more things that are on that sheet. So, the new courses that we brought on this year are fire science and robotics one

046and two. Robotics one and two is just the full year robotics. So, it sounds like two courses, but it's just that full year. Fire science was a huge hit. Um, they get two credits, they get or they get one credit, two classes, intro to fire and then fire safety and combustion. And they also took the wildland fire certificates and they are ready to work this summer. And so, and that's not even part of the coursework. Our instructors with Murray City are amazing. I can't believe they work for Murray City. I can't believe they're ours. Um, Taylor Ward was absolutely amazing. And I got to go over. They lit a car on fire. They didn't. They put it out, but the firefighters lit the car on fire. And they um I went to a presentation, which

047is on the right there, and they had maybe seven different firefighters. So they had like a wildland and they had a chief and they had someone new. Just talk about firefighting and all of the different jobs and it's a lot like anything else. You think, oh, firefighter is one thing, but it's like a hospital. There's nurses and doctors and there's all sorts of certifications and you can move all over the world with it. And so, um, and those kids are attentive and they stand when someone walks in the room. And it was really cool because the kids who took it again, um, I think they really gained some of those durable skills. Um, two more highlights. We're going to highlight a teacher and then, um, I just want to recognize Stephanie Bradstreet. She won adviser

048of the year. She she she wins everything. Like if she gets involved, she wins an award. U, but she won adviser of the year, um, for Salt Lake region. She's our FCCLA adviser, and she's just so organized and so committed. Um, and so I just wanted to make sure you guys knew that. And our last highlight, our teacher couldn't be here because it's parent teacher conference for the high school. Um, but it's Connor and he did a little highlight for you. So, yeah. >> Hello. My name is Connor Winder. I teach physics and robotics at Murray High School. Um, I apologize for the informal nature of the video, but I'm currently in Ogden at the Weber Innovation High School um at a robotics competition with my students and I thought this would be a great

049time to talk about and show what uh we in robotics do. So, I'm going to try to play some some footage and show some pictures of my students working. Um, so robotics has taken off a lot in the last couple of years. We have um about 50 students in the high school who are engaged in robotics in one way or another either through the class or through the club. Um and we've had a lot of success with students who normally don't get a lot of engagement in their science classes. Um being engaged in something um technical and difficult and engaging in some problem solving and and learning how to work in a group and it's been a lot of fun. So um we've made some big strides. When I started working here at Murray uh

050three years ago, we had four robotics kids doing the club and they had about a about a toolbox worth of tools. Um and now we've got an entire classroom full of supplies and fields and uh we had an event of just this size here at Murray High School. Um with over a hundred students who were competing and and doing all this work and it was it was incredible stuff. So, um I just wanted to take some time to show off the some of the cool things that we're doing. Um and would uh we're grateful for the support of the district, especially we got um a grant through the STEM and uh computer learning uh people at the district a couple years ago and that helped us buy a lot of things. So, we we appreciated

051that and we're we're making it work. We're working really hard and these students, they they love what they do. Um and we're super excited to to keep seeing this program grow. Yeah. And again, so lucky to have Connor. Um, he's a graduate of Marie High. He's amazing. I can't believe he works for us. He's got a radio show voice. We love him. Um, I did want to highlight Dana Adams is our career center secretary and she is the one that had the idea of the torch for CTE month. So, it was like an Olympic theme and it was super fun and it was all her. So, >> Connor Connor was the validictorian of the class of 2019 when I was principal there and his parents happened to be in my neighbor. So, if he gets

052in trouble, I'm at his All right, I will mark on um just finally um we our construction our Spartan house um this is the last house that our beloved construction teacher will be will be involved with as he's Quinji is retiring after 30 years but making great progress on the on the home and it should be ready to go for the open house in May. So we're losing a lot of good people this year to retirement and he's had such a huge impact. But CTE is an amazing program. I feel fortunate to be working with Chantel in these programs. Um I was a CTE teacher at the time when physics of technology was a CTE course. And so um it's just amazing to see what these kids can do. And we also, as you're aware,

053were able to secure the catalyst grant. And that's just going to add a whole another layer to the CT programs here in Murray and that's going to be an amazing health science program and offer more opportunities for our kids. But that is CT month. >> Thank you. I was just thinking about all that exciting things. Sorry. Let me look at my paper now. All right. The next one is mental health screenings with uh Miss Sierra Marsh. >> Do you want to connect? Whatever you tell me to do connect. Do you want me to drive? Uh, you can drive my computer. Maybe we'll be fun. Thanks for the opportunity to be here with you tonight. Um, I am excited to highlight mental health screenings and kind of where we've been and where we're going and and

054maybe continue to to do that too. So, um, just to kind of highlight some highle results so far, you can just keep scrolling. So far, uh, this is our third year doing mental health screenings in the district. You have the numbers there of those students that we have been able to screen over six different district events. Uh, I will also highlight too that right now during parent teacher conferences, our schoolbased mental health professionals are out with families and letting them know that this is an opportunity. And so, um, I know Hillrest Junior High was very active in their screening conversations last night and they've set up a bunch of screenings for students next week, which is exciting. Um, Horizon Elementary conducted screenings during conferences as well. So, those are just great opportunities to touch point

055uh touch base with families about mental health and their students. Um, all of all of those events, we've done 11 safety plans, meaning that students have indicated a level of concern that we need to kind of talk through. How do we keep you safe with their families? Uh the mental health screening breaks it down into four different kind of results over all of the screenings we've conducted so far. Those are the general percentages for students kind of satisfa optimal about 2% of our kiddos are uh resulting there satisfactory and then slight concern. about 22% of our students overall who have participated in this have kind of needed that higher level of like checkin and making sure that we're okay with a smaller percentage of those needing that safety plan. Our last district-wide event was conducted

056in the fall in November. Those are the results percentage-wise for our fall participation. Currently, we are screening for the following indicators. So on the resiliency side, these are the strengths that we're uh looking at so that we can really speak to what students are strong in, right? And their skills. So we are screening for resiliency um or for hope, their positive school experiences, are they enjoying school, etc. Grit, their global satisfaction in addition to uh overall resiliency, personal standards and expectations they set for themselves as well as leadership capacity. And then we screen for um the follow we screen for anxiety and depression are our two adversity indicators that we screen for. There is that depression component does include like if their answers to questions indicate there may be any self harm. We will ask

057those follow-up questions as well. Um there is an option for us to kind of expand and deepen what we are currently doing. So, one request I have for us to con for you to consider tonight is to add a couple of indicators on the adversity side. Um, some for all grades and some just for our more secondary 6 through 12 um kiddos. So, um there is an opportunity within the metrics that we use to add questions related to bullying. So students could report if they are experiencing bullying themselves or potentially uh maybe participating in behavior that is bullying towards others and also the sense of ostracism or being left out or not belonging in the school. For our upper grade students, we could also add questions around self-criticism, um that internal voice around not good

058enough or making mistakes and then any tendency to use aggression towards school problems um and in violence that way. There's also additional indicators which I think are are not um something that we're looking at right now, specifically drug and alcohol and trauma. Those questions um are often covered in things like the SHARP survey. So we don't need to ask questions multiple times in different ways. But I think this information would help our schoolbased mental health teams and our um principles and the district as a whole make decisions on how we can best support our students and what's needed. The additional request here um is to expand. So right now we have only been screening students in grades 3 through 12. our screening tool has um expanded their offering so that we could additionally screen students

059in kindergarten, first and second grades. So that is an option. Those indicators would just be those listed there. Um global satisfaction, positive school experiences, grit, anxiety, depression, and ostracism. It doesn't include that whole list. um and then to deepen and add those additional uh questions for our grades 3 through 12. So that is what I'm here to talk about tonight. What questions do you all >> Sarah? Can you just remind um the board >> that how how students participate in this that it's not we that there is a process. It's not we just grab them and test them. >> Thank you. I'd be happy to lay that out. So um I communicate with uh our school community via parent square and let them know that there is a mental health screening uh event available to

060them. So to participate in that parents have to sign their student up to participate and they have to provide active consent to participate. This is not something that we just decide hey we really want this information from you so we're going to grab you um or even hey we're concerned about you we're going to now give you this screener. It is nothing that we initiate. It is all parent initiated. We just provide the opportunity for students to participate. Um and then for the most part we have these events and families parents come to the event with their with their students. They provide um photo ID so we know that who is bringing them is the person that should be bringing them and is the person that provided consent. Uh they attend the event together. where

061the students take this screener uh independently while the parent is waiting. And then once the student has completed that screener, our school-based mental health professionals review the results with the parents and the students together to highlight the strengths or potential areas of concern or things that we need to talk about in terms of safety. Um, and then we have, like I mentioned earlier, parent teacher conferences we offer to families that that let them know that isn't a tool available to them if they're interested. >> All right. And I'll just say um because we're going to ask for a motion and vote on this in just a minute, but I remember being in the seat and watching meetings and think how do they make these decisions? But just so we discussed this and you presented in

062a study session and then we had it emailed so we could study it through and and look through at home and this is like the the final opportunity to ask clarification questions before we vote. So this wasn't all that we've discussed this. I just wanted to to put that out on the table as I ask for a motion. I move that we approve the both requests for the mental health screenings. And is there a second? >> I second. >> All right. Is there any further discussion? All in favor? I >> I. >> That passes. Thank you for all that you do. >> Your time. Our next screening event is scheduled for March 11th. So, I will now communicate out to the families and let them know that we will um be including kindergarten, first and

063second graders if they are interested in participating. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right. And we have Miss Haycock with our school nutrition program. >> Good afternoon, evening. Actually, it's been a long day. Um I just wanted to really quickly remind everybody that our future chef competition is next Wednesday. Um, we only have four students this year. Um, but I'm looking forward to it. I think it'll be fun. It was really fun last year. So, we're really excited. We do have the ProStart students that will be helping us. We do have a few more of the um, CNP employees who will be helping us as well. So, we're looking forward to that. Um, but I wanted to really show you, Jen, if you want to bring that. Perfect. Um, a um, it's a customerf facing

064menu program that we have out there. It's called Neutri Slice. I did um talk about it at one point last school year, but there have been updates to it and I wanted to show you um what those were because I think they're really great um for parents and the nurses to help with um diabetic students. So, Jen, if you want to just pick one of the schools, it doesn't really matter. Um and then you can see um up in the top left, this is going to be the breakfast menu. And then if you want to see lunch, you just click on the other little circle there. Um, if you'll look, there's a whole bunch of little icons right there. So, Jenna, if you'll pick that one, crispy chicken cob salad with that whole line of

065icons. Just click click. Yep. >> So, all those icons indicate um what allergies are present in this menu. So, there's in this one there's a milk, egg, wheat, and soy. And then the little circles tell you what um nutritional line this menu is filling. So, it's filling a grain, a protein, and a vegetable. Um, and then you can see it gives a calorie count. And if you go even further down, it will give you ingredients because this is a pre, it has pre-made Tyson's um, popcorn chicken. And so, it lists that as well. Um, and all of our um, menus have that. So, you can see what calories your child's going to be eating, um, all of that um, kind of thing. So, hit the X. And then if you'll hit the pancakes for me

066up there in the top right. So here um there's news and updates listed. You can print the menu from here. Um carb counts. Jen, if you'll click that one. This is really cool for nurses and parents who are trying to um dose for diabetic children because it lists the whole menu there and what they can choose and they can beforehand plan with their student what they're going to eat for the day and then they'll know what kind of dosage they need um for the day and it's listed out breakfast and lunches are are you can do the same thing with. Um, I did speak with uh Shanda. Is it Shanda >> the one of the nurses? Sorry. >> Um, today and showed her this and I'll be meeting with um Shadow and I'm sorry. >>

067Yeah, Paula and Stormmy um to to go over that with them as well. Just um it's I think it's just super helpful. It's um innovative that Sedexo is doing this. Um all of the allergy icons not necessarily required, but it is something extra they're doing. Um, when there's a nut allergy, it won't just say nut. It will say whether it's a pecan or a walnut or a pistachio or whatever. So, they're getting they're drilling down very specifically on what some of those allergies are, which again, it's not required. It's just something and it's been a two-year process for them to get to this stage. So, I just wanted to introduce that to you. >> And I think does it translate into other labor? >> Yes, it does translate if Yeah. So there's a lot. I

068think there's 30 different languages there that the menu can be translated into. So yeah, you can see it's quite the list that that they've got covered in there. So it's quite an expansive program. Like I said, it's taken a lot of time to get it up and running to where it's at, but it's very useful. So any any questions? >> I really appreciated you sharing that with us. I I switched mine into a language and had a hard time getting it back to I was curious. This is so cool. >> I don't know what this says and how to get out to. >> It's fun to look at for sure, but yeah, it's hard to get it back to what you can read. >> And I really appreciate it, too, just a as a parent

069once they get to be a little bit more independent and older. I don't never ask questions about school lunch, but it was really cool to say to look at and go, "Oh, I didn't know all those options were available." >> Right. Yep. Yep. They're there. >> They don't really have to eat a chicken sandwich every day. That's just what they choose to eat. Exactly right. >> So, this is a very cool tool. I really appreciate you sharing that with us. >> Well, and hopefully it gives the parents the ability to look ahead and and help their child, you know, meal plan basically is is what they can do. So, it's a really useful tool all around the board, I think. >> I love it. >> Well, thanks for doing what you do, Gwen. >> Yeah,

070absolutely. >> We appreciate you. All right, we have um Mr. Tagert with our bond project update. Okay. Uh like normal, we'll start with the high school. Um things are going really really well. Um it's it is ahead of schedule. Um all of the exterior structure is complete. Um the building is completely dried in. The roofing is finished on it. Let me take a step back. Everything's dried in except for the the transition from the new building into the old building where it's it's a glass curtain wall and they are working on the framing on that to get that dried in as well. Um currently, um the first floor is um it's all completely framed. Uh it's sheetrocked. Uh tile guys are coming in next week to start on the first floor. They've passed the four-way

071inspection on the second floor and and we'll start to do the sheetrock on that and um then they'll continue doing the duct work and electrical and plumbing on the third floor and the framing as well. But it's it's coming along. It's looking great. All in addition, they're um making preparations on the outside of the building for the uh the portions that have the metal panels that will help the the blend in with the existing building. To the junior high, um the junior high is you wouldn't recognize it. It's really changed a lot in the last couple of weeks. Um the Masons are are going going full tilt and they've and they're they've they've topped out in certain areas and moved to other areas. They're putting in the steel in what will be the cafeteria commons

072area right now. Um the auditorium uh roof structure is in um the decking is on. It's not roofed, but the the decking so they can put the roofing on is on. Um, they've taken out all of the the the metal supports for the tiltups on the auditorium. That's all out and they've they're leveling the ground in the auditorium. So, it's funny how um when you put the roof on the building, how much bigger it looks and then when you fill in the hole, it's like, okay, wow, this is starting to get some size. So they they're basically filling filling in all of the dirt in the auditorium so they can finish the other work that needs to go on the roof before they excavate out again to get the slope floor and and port to

073the floor and that. But um all of the all of the footings are put in and the basically the entire building footprint is in place. Um they're anticipating to start the well they're hoping to start the drilling for the the well field in March which will be um to the west of the building where like the old softball fields will be and where the playfields will be and that's part of the um the heating and cooling for the building. Are there any questions? >> I do have one. When you stand there now that those posts are gone. >> Yes. >> Do you feel any safer stand? Yes, I do. >> And the reason why is is because everything's tied in with the with all of the the steel going across the top. >> So, I

074love it. >> Yes. It doesn't feel like it's going to fall on you anymore. >> That was such I don't think I've ever felt like that. I just felt like a little ant more so than I ever had in my whole life standing in there. and they're hoping to get um the the stairs the the main stairway that will go in the comm's area set into place probably within a week to 10 days. >> So if you want to access the second floor, you don't have to use a ladder. So >> that's good news for all of us. >> Yes, exactly. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Tagger. Appreciate you. All right. And then we've got um Director Dean with some LEA specific licenses. Yeah, superintendent, could you pull those up, please? And if you'll

075just scroll down to the last little bit on there. So, um, as the board knows, we have, uh, uh, district specific or LEA specific licenses that we need to do. And we have some that we, uh, found out that we missed with an audit that I didn't realize. We have some of our special ed teachers that need a LEA specific, um, endorsement in math. And so so that they can be qualified to teach math, I would uh ask that the board consider uh approving these. Um so we have three special ed teachers with the mathematics three endorsement and those are secondary teachers, secondary school teachers. And there's not a lot of our secondary special ed teachers that actually have the mathematics endorsement because that's a lot of work to get that mathematics endorsement. They typically

076are co-eing with the math teachers at the schools anyway. And then we have another teacher, Abigail Mackey McKay. Abigail McKay is now our um science environmental science teacher at the high school. We've just hired her. She actually has a master's in environmental science, but she will be coming through an an alternate path to her education lensure. So, we would ask for an LEA specific license for her. And then one that's been on here before is Casey Weber. The board already approved this earlier in the year. We just uh missed getting that entered into our system for the state and so I'd ask that the board consider approving that again. And so I would ask the board for a motion to approve these LEA specific licenses. >> All right. Is there a motion? >> I move

077that we approve these LEA specific licenses. >> And is there a second? A second. All right. All in favor? >> I. >> And any oppose? Nope. Because I heard both eyes. It's easy with two. That passes. And I appreciate our teachers looking through that list. There's quite a few that are doing a lot of extra work. And I think that's great. >> So, thank you. >> Thank you. All right. And then next we have um Assistant Superintendent Wongi with um PS48. >> Okay. So this is a second reading on this one and there were a couple of updates to the first reading. Um those are in blue that we've discussed previously as well. Um the updates that we had talked about this deals with our uh state online education program the online program that is

078run through the state. um all the providers that we are required by board rule to offer as an option for our students to take some of these online courses. And so we talked about a little bit about the cost of the of of the courses and some of the guide guard rails that we wanted to put in um not only to comply with board rule but also um some of our district requirements as well. So number four, we talked about setting enrollment windows. So this one is the district will set des design designated quarterly or semester enrollment windows no longer than three weeks for students to register for a quarter or semester SOEP course. Uh and then enrollment requests outside those windows. um regardless of the deadlines of those providers because they have like you

079can some you can enroll whenever um uh they'll be denied if they're outside our district windows and that allows us to manage the program a little better because otherwise when it's all throughout the year it's very difficult to manage and keep track of those. So that was an update. Uh, and then we added a just a a few more clarifications down on B. Uh, number two, we added um just kind of what a full load means. So, board rule does not allow a more than a full load to be taken in a year. So, that's eight credits at the high school and seven credits at the at the middle school, the junior high school. And then we also added summer courses are restricted to those who will not have a full credit load during the

080school year because the summer does count towards that that year's um full load of credits. Uh so those were put in as clarifications as well. And then just on the last page we added uh seniors are not eligible to take these courses beyond a full schedule if they are still enrolled after the first semester. That is because they click on a box that says they are going to graduate early. If they are not graduated by that first semester as a senior, that means they are not graduating early. So, we've put that guard rail in as well. Um, and then also we added students may not reenroll in a course that they had already enrolled in previously but did not complete because we were already charged for that course. we're not going to get charged again

081for that course. So, those are all the additions that we had discussed. So, um I am not sure if the board wants to appro make a motion on uh to approve on a second reading or if you want to do a a third reading and discuss it a little bit more, but I'll leave that up to you to decide. >> I'm comfortable moving ahead with approving this as it's written. >> I'm comfortable as well. >> Okay. And I know that you guys have spent a lot of time on this and I appreciate it and we've talked about it a lot and it's um >> and and I think I'll just kind of put a little plug into um making sure that as this goes into place if there's any other holes that we've missed that

082>> we have some eyes on it to just we don't know what we don't know as we go through and make all these changes what that's actually going to look like. And I remember asking in the study session, but I can't remember the answer. So, I'm gonna ask you again. If a parent, if there's a student that falls outside of these parameters and the parent wants to take a course >> where the time may not have lined up or something, can the parent pay on their own to tap into some of these resources? Um they so if if they're enrolled in the schools and they enroll through the school, it's free to them. >> Um I am not aware if they're currently enrolled, can they go to the provider on their own and pay? Um

083I don't I don't think they can. I think they have to they have to go through the school if they're enrolled. Now they can if they withdraw and are not enrolled in our school. They can go and and apply to be a part of that online school if they they want to. So, >> and we still have in addition to the S SOEP, we have our digital learning lab. We have our BYU independent study suite. So, there are are good avenues as well um safeguards at the high school >> to to help sit with those situations also. >> Okay. >> And we'll we'll we'll need to explore at the middle school because these are options for middle school students as well. We'll need to explore >> alternative options as well for for the middle schools

084to utilize. So, um, they have some options here besides this just this program. So, yeah. >> Okay. So, if somebody wanted to do something over the summer and missed the window, then they could look at one of those other avenues that we have to fulfill what they're trying to do. >> Y >> because there's options. Okay. >> Our goal is to get students the credits they need and the understanding they need to graduate. So, >> absolutely. So, anyway. >> All right. Well, I feel comfortable if there's a a motion. I move that we approve PS448. And is there a second? >> I second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Thank you. That passes. Thank you for all your work on that. All right. We'll move to the superintendent for a few items. >> Great.

085Thank you. My first item is a TSSA amendment from Vmont Elementary. So, Principal Smith has submitted this. Um, they would like to purchase the math practice for grades one and two. Um, the practice has shown good. They they've got some data that has shown good value in grades three through six. And they recently have added math fluency focused practice. So it also says the LL practice platform gives teachers access to assessment resources, practice sheets, and resources for students practice with support to be used at home. And so Vmont is looking to use this as a supplement to the Eureka and Zern resources. So, they would like to reallocate or allocate um $1,700 of their TSSA funds in the software category to make this purchase. And so, they would use that here for the next little

086bit as they're getting ready um to really prepare these students to be math fluent in grades one and two. So, I would ask for the board's consideration to approve Bumont Elementary's TSSA amendment to allocate $1,700 to the purchase of EXL math. >> All right. I'll entertain a motion. >> I move that we approve this amendment. >> All right. Is there a second? I second. All right. Any discussion? All in favor? >> I pass. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you. I will um let Principal Smith know when she can move forward with that. My second item is we have an overnight travel request for the Murray High School track and field team. Um I am going to present this and then I'm going to ask typically overnight travel requests we do two readings. I'm going to

087ask if we suspend the two readings and approve this on a first reading. So the Murray High School track and field has an opportunity that has not come to them before. Um, we have a great coach who is working really hard to make sure our athletes have opportunities and they have been invited to attend a a meet in Cedar City on March 20th and 21st. This was not included in the original overnight request that we approved last year because they have not been invited to this before, but they got invited. Um, it's a pretty elite opportunity and a great opportunity for our our track team. It involves 24 students. It is in Cedar City and again it's on March 20th and 21st. So they meet that they're not missing more than two days of school.

088Um all of this the fee structure that they've done there is no need for additional fees. So it is covered out of the fees that those 24 students have already paid. So it won't be taken also from all the students won't be paying for this. The 24 students it will be taken out of their fees that they have paid. Um they do have a donor who is going to pay for the hotel rooms. So this is kind of a unique opportunity and they were worried about the financial cost it might be to students. So a donor has stepped up and will pay for those hotel rooms. Food. They do have a hotel that offers um free breakfast and then parents and coaches are going to be providing the other meals. So there will not be

089any additional cost to our par our students. It is at Pine View High School. So it talks about it here. The major meet in Cedar City. They've accepted Murray's team to their invite this year. Last year they did not get an invite. So this is a big deal. I love that they put that on there. Um it's an overnighter. They want they're going to bring their top 24 athletes. There is the breakdown of the cost. It's the same. They already had these already built in. Some of these things built in and they haven't really had an opportunity to attend many meets this year. So this is really great. um they will be using uh the two Suburbans and possibly a 12 passenger van. So they will secure that. Again, transportation costs will be covered out

090of the fees that those students have paid and the donor is covering the cost for the hotel. Um so they have completed everything else. So I would ask again, normally we do two readings on an overnight trip request. The reason I'm asking for consideration to suspend the rules on this, they do need to know if they can accept this invitation to go. So, it is on March 20th and 21st. If we wait till our next board meeting, which would be March 12th, they probably wouldn't be able to participate because they they need to give confirmation. They're they're waiting to see if the board approves this or not to let Pine View High School know. So, I would ask for consideration. double check. >> We then then you we'll need to work. Okay. We'll work with

091them on that and let them that's not okay. >> Okay. Okay. >> Okay. >> Or two SUVs. So, okay. I'll let them know that no two 12 passenger vans. Okay. We can do that. Absolutely. So, >> um Okay. I will move that we suspend the rules and accept uh this on a first reading uh with that transportation edit in there as well. Do I have to say anything else? I think that >> um and we approve Yeah, just we approve the overnight travel request >> and that we approve this overnight travel request. Thank you. Is there a second? >> I second all of them. >> And any discussion? I I have I just am excited about this. >> I'm excited for them, too. And I This is one of my favorite parts of this job

092is approving travel requests. So, yay. And those track kids work so hard and I love the camaraderie that they have and I'm really excited they have this opportunity. So, no further ado, all in favor. >> And that passes. Fantastic. I will let um athletic director Smith and the coach know tonight. So, all right. And then I would like to ask that the board go into a close session to discuss personnel and um no district staff will need to stay for that tonight. >> All right, Jill. >> Okay. >> And I'm a Yes.
