South Summit School Board Meeting

001He goes barrel racing >> he's barreling. >> Hey Brian, do you know who who live his sister is? >> We're live now. >> Okay, you guys ready? >> Tough. >> Try to stay away from >> She ain't near mean enough, but she's got mean. >> No, she's not mean like you are. performances. >> Tell me when you're ready and we'll go. >> I'm ready. >> Let's go ahead. >> You have a computer. >> Okay. Welcome to board meeting. It is Monday, August 11th at 6:00. In attendance, we have student board member Connor Gakei. I know I'm going to say that wrong all the time. Board member Eert, board member Wilston Hume, board member Metaf, Vice President Linda Whitmore. We're excusing President Matt Weller. We have Superintendent and our business administrator Adam. And we have our

002uh board administrator Don. We will go ahead and we will start with the pledge of allegiance led by board member Metaf. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay. Our vision mission statement, South Summit School District, valuing individuals and preparing them for success. Mission statement. We support, empower, and inspire individuals to promote and achieve academic and character excellence. We will start with director reports from our athletic director, Brian Jaketta. >> So is >> Oh, wait. This microphone might I don't think there's a microphone there. >> That one goes there. >> Yep. >> As as he's coming up and we're getting everything ready, I just want to point out obviously, you know,

003um, Coach Jaketta is new to South Summit. We're excited to have him. He's got a an extensive background that uh is it's it's a great it's it's great to have him here. I mean, it uh he's served 31 years in the Army National Guard. Um 23 years of coaching experience and and he was a a true student athlete in his time in high school. uh National Honor Society as well as football and baseball and things like that. So, we're excited to have him here and be part of our our South Summit family. And uh there's nothing like baptism by fire. >> Just get right in there. Okay. >> Uh thank you, Superintendent and Board. It's a pleasure to be here. Like superintendent uh said, I'm Brian Jaketta. I'm really excited to be here. So, I

004just had my new new employee orientation last week. So, um, that's really how new I am, but I've actually been sitting on the job long enough to accomplish, uh, three hiring boards, three region meetings, state UHS, UHSA summit and stuff. And tonight, I I'm here to report on last school year 2024 uh, Interclassic Sports and Title 9, uh, compliance. So, I inherited the slide deck, but uh, I'm trying to find it. Which one is it? >> That one. Yes. >> While we're pulling that up, just a reminder, this is something that state law requires every year um that uh any school that participates in the extracurricular athletics. >> I need report to the board on the title N and um numbers and things like that. So, >> perfect. Um it yep this is our uh

005this is meeting our annual requirement and it's understood >> and I know that it's great information that the board has always appreciated um because we've historically done a great job to make sure we're offering things to uh all of our students. >> Sorry technical difficulties. >> That's okay. >> It was shared and I don't have access. So Easy target. >> There's this thing. I don't know what that is. HDMI to do this. >> That's why he's building this one. >> That's why I said we can blame you. >> You've got it now, Adam. >> Okay. >> All that for >> Okay, >> I think we're there. >> Now I got to learn how to use this program at the top. Maybe I'd just change him seats and let him do it. There we go. All

006right, here we go. >> I uh feel the business administrator's pain as I've been trying to get used to Apple products myself and so my productivity is not quite as it should be as I'm come from a PC background. But uh but I'm learning. Okay. So, uh slide two here uh just shows the the the 14 uh sports and our participation. Uh it really becomes 18 when when you separate uh boys and girls uh separate teams. Um you can see that our participating numbers for girls during last sports year accounted for in activate were 221 while our boys were 243 for a total participation of 464. Um the next slide shows the pie chart of the breakdown. Uh last year this slide that I was working on for the previous school year there was a

00710% discrepancy between boys and girls with boys being heavier. This year it's a little the gap is a little closer um about a five little less than 5% gap there. But that's just this the same data represented in pie chart form. >> So what's the number that they don't like >> the descript >> anything over 10%. >> Yep. So this was we're we're moving in the right direction. We were at that threshold a year previous and this last year we're down to Yep. basically cut it in half. Uh so this is uh specifically targeting the asset or the allocation of resources spent uh for this the 18 sports uh the nine for the girls, six for the boys and the three that we we basically say are non-gender designated that the team is is one

008and the same for both genders. Um and you can see um actually the fee structure the the boys uh closed the gap. Um last year the girls actually fee structure was was greater by almost you'll see it on my on my last slide. Um but the fee structure uh average amount of fees per sport is is relatively the same for the girls and boys and our non-gender designated sports have low fees as as just the nature of those sports. uh same data just represented uh visually. All right, this is my last slide and really just wanted to to try to start comparing and get some longitudinal data to where we're at so you can you can see the the priorities that we have as an athletic administration at the high school is equitable participation opportunity

009and equitable resource allocation. Uh so really this presentation did highlight those things with participation. Um we did have an overall decline comparing uh school year 2324 to 2425 by uh 7%. Boys did decline therefore trimming our gap between boy participation and girl participation. One of my uh focus areas is to to understand the declines overall. But and then the fee structure, you can see uh generally the fees increased from an overall program average of 641 to 760. Uh the boys, like I said before, closed the gap of nearly $100 and now out fee the girls, if you will. And my data suggests there was no uh fee increase for the non-gender designated sports. >> Don't we want that? um participation to increase instead of decline. >> I of course we do >> more people. >>

010Yes. >> And some some of that could potentially be just you know you have large classes one year, small classes another. Like I know the high school they're getting a a good size class. um you're so some of that could be for that but then there's also obviously some whether it's eligibility or kids lose interest or whatever the reason is >> nice as a principal I had a lot easier time keeping track of those kids than I did the others >> yeah sir >> one thing to keep in mind on this though we have a big freshman class coming in but being over there and talking to the coaches and that the freshman participation is actually less than it was last last year. I know with football they're about 10 less on the freshman level

011than than they had last year, which with that big of a class, I would have expected it to go the other way. it, you know, and and I think that it follows along with the general uh declining numbers that we've had over the last or not declining but the lack of growth that we anticipated that never materialized, I guess. Mhm. >> So all in all, you know, from some of the programs I've been in and that you take a percentage of the kids that are participating in sports at our school compared to like let's say a big school where you came from, our percentage is quite a bit higher >> than than a lot of schools. So >> yeah, >> I think we do pretty well with our numbers. >> Does Silver Summit have any

012teams or do they if they want to play? >> No, they play with us. the kid that was here last year, he was the linebacker. >> So if >> I know we've had cheerleaders from So Summit that have been cheerleaders for us over the years. >> So they they have to live in our school district boundaries. So if a student lives in Park City but attends Silver Summit, they can't participate with South Summit um without going through an appeal through the high school activities association, which has happened. Um so yeah, one one requirement with the activities association is you have to play where your residence is, you know, that that high school um that you're you live in that boundary and you have to be attending a school that doesn't have any com that doesn't

013have a competing program to do so. You know, I >> unless you live in Saratoga Springs and you want to play football in Temp. >> Yeah. I got to say the the hypocrisy of that though and as you know because you came from Olympus and Olympus can get whoever they want. >> Corner Canyon gets whoever they want. Lone Peak gets whoever they want. Tim View, no questions asked. >> I don't know what you're talking about. >> Heaven forbid a kid that goes. >> I'm on my soap box. All right. >> No, we're going to get in trouble. Okay. Any other questions or discussion items? >> We get in trouble for >> I'm going to turn you into saying it like it is. I've been with them before. I'd be glad to go meet with >>

014I I appreciate the opportunity. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> Let us know. >> Yeah, Brian, don't be a stranger. >> Okay. Elementary learning plan. Principal Flenders. >> Okay. Hello and good evening. Um, as you know, we are required by the state to submit a district learning plan. Um, it's changed over the years. Uh, so this year we do have to have a literacy plan though no funding is attached to it and we're required to have math goals this year. So, um, if you look at the plan, um, the South Summit School District schoolwide and state literacy learning goal is by June 1st, 2026, South Summit School District will decrease the number of second grade students who follow at least one level, green to yellow, yellow to red, from BOI to EOI, by

0153%. Now 3% might not seem like a lot in percentages when you're talking about a whole school, a whole district. Um that's a rigorous goal. Um in our district, because we love students so much, we set goals for every grade level. So, you'll notice there's a prek school goal and prek through grade four and their reading goals and math goals. Um, the interesting change this year is it doesn't have to be board approved. We're supposed to just submit the plan to you in an open meeting so you know what's happening. >> Superintendent, do you want to add any? Do you want me to go through the process of how we came up with these goals? >> Go for it. That'd be great. So the process um we have a committee it's myself, superintendent um Miss

016Halverson, um Miss Wilkinson and um we usually have our learning coach but was in transition this year so we didn't have our learning coach with us. Um and we look at all the data from the past. Now we have four years and we take an average and then we pick um the area that needs the most work and that's where we set our goal. >> Do you want to add anything superintendent? just that in general what we're doing is we're following just kind of the standard process or protocol around what districts are doing as they create the the learning plans um for not just South Summit Elementary but also Silver Summit. >> Yep. >> Um and >> Jeff Grer's on our comm say Mr. Griner also is on that committee. >> Yeah. Um the wonderful

017thing is uh we find that across our schools and all of our schools um generally the goals meet the same needs that everyone has. Um I will say that we are stronger in math than literacy and so our literacy goals are really rigorous. >> Okay. Okay. Are there any questions? >> So, does the um does the committee set the goals for the the school goals or do they set them for the grades too? >> Both. >> Okay. >> Because we have representation from because it's K to three and so we have representation for both schools there and so we have a conversation and look at all the data and then decide >> and you we're also um we also try to get input from from the teachers as well. It's not just a room of

018administrators uh sitting around the table doing that work. Um a lot of time is spent gathering going through the data and um and getting feedback from uh teachers to help inform those goals because if we create the goal and they're not part of it, it doesn't mean as much, >> right? So, >> and also um Miss Jensen who's here, she did a great job of gathering our end of the year data and and then we also had a PLC meeting with our teachers and shared with them the data of the Aadian math and reading testing. And so I don't know that teachers are going to be surprised when they see our goals >> because um of the conversations that we had with the teachers at the end of the year as far as end of

019the year data. >> Good. >> And then just for my own learning just >> because I'm sure we'll see these for middle school and high school too. >> It's just it's only a for >> we have a lot of requirements that others don't have. They don't if they don't get this stuff when they're in your grade, they ain't got a chance when you get to the other grade. >> Well, and we're we realize that and feel that pressure that it starts with us. >> Not only academics, but behaviors and >> you guys. >> Yeah. >> And so we're grateful for the opportunity and for the challenge and embracing it. >> So I was So what I was wondering is I didn't know which doesn't sound like we'll see them for the other schools, but the

020so the first one it it says it's like a schoolwide goal, but it's for second grade. So, I didn't know >> if that's a typo or if we're trying to raise everything in the school by 3% or just the second grade. >> Um, second grade, that grade was our lowest grade. So because of that we do have change management. Now that you bring it up um change management is that all of our school are striving for to have every student 70% proficient because the state requirement is third graders will be seven 70% of third graders will be proficient this next year. >> So change management is in response to Senate Bill 127. Right. And so we work with a coaching team at the state level and we had a first 90-day plan. Our second 90day

021plan has been passed and then we'll have a third 90-day plan. And so that affects our whole school and that's a school goal just for us because Silver Summit's not in change management yet. >> Okay. They will be this next year. They will be this next year because there's different cohorts that you sign up for. >> Okay, >> those are good questions. >> Thanks. >> Really good questions. Good. Any other questions? >> Yeah, I did. You you mentioned uh that we're doing better in math. >> That that's fantastic because I know that that's been a huge area concern with us because our math scores have not uh played out as well as as the rest of it. So, what do you attribute that to? >> Um, do you care? Do you want me to go

022to the next thing >> for the data? That's not me. Yeah, you can go ahead right into data. >> Segue right into it. Oh, sorry. >> No, you don't have to say sorry, but um I have an answer for that. >> Okay. >> So, on the school data report, >> is that this one? >> No, I didn't see it attached to the agenda. >> The Earl early >> learning plan. No, >> no. >> Um, let me do this. >> He's >> You can just You may have it without him. >> Just give me a real quick. >> Okay. So, here's the PowerPoint. Print it. That's a great way to do it. >> Oh, that's >> So, do you want me to >> There has to be a >> plug into my computer. >> You can

023do that or I can print out copies. >> I guess I should look at it. >> We can just look. Yeah. Yeah, it's not that big a deal. >> Okay. Well, yeah, just show us. >> Go for it and I'll I'll >> I love it. >> Just read it to us. >> Yeah. >> Okay. It's a story time. Okay. I'll try to use my teacher voice. Okay. Here we go. So, it's a school data report and so um on it um it it's five slides and President Willer asked superintendent for each school to do five slides. So, these are our five slides. Um, our mission statement is learn, love, engage, aspire, respect, and never give up. Our core values, our committed teachers and staff, respect for self and others, academics, happy school, and kindness. And

024it's a place where all students learn, master, and achieve at high levels. We also are working on collective agreements with our staff. So that's very, very exciting. Next, our areas of strength. So, in the 2023 2024 school year, one student passed the WEDA test. In the 2024 2025 school year, 10 students passed the WEDA test. >> That's a Spanish test, right? Okay. >> Yeah. And the reason that happened is because we had um a parah and Mr. Taylor working and using a language acquisition program called Story Champs. We had a person in the community who donated four kits to our school which is amazing. And so um and testing was done differently. So Cindy Butterfield helped with testing and um we found out what their testing fears were and so tested differently. We also did

025an interim testing in um December January and found out what they didn't know and then worked on that. The rise scores um this is where your question could be answered Mr. Eert. Um in 2023 2024 third and fourth grade together the mathematics were 34% proficient. In 2024, 2025, third and fourth grade, the mathematics together were 51 proficient with sixth grade being 62 proficient. >> That's a huge increase. >> Third grade. >> Um and the and what we did was we put an extra teacher in third grade. >> Okay. >> Um class sizes were smaller. The other things that happened were um we had a big focus on learning intentions and success criteria. We also had a um a focus on tier one instruction. We also had a focus on vocabulary instruction. So when we did

026inner raider reliability and all the principles and superintendent and and Shelley went to visit, we visited a third grade classroom. Um she had definitions, pictures in a sentence. She also had her success criteria and her learning intentions right on the side. And then she referred to the students, hey, you know, have we met this success criteria? Can we do this? And then there were one time when she said, oh, I forgot we haven't talked about this. Let's talk about this. Um, so I think learning intentions and success criteria have been a huge factor in making tier one instruction more effective. Um so those are awesome and other areas of strength our trust land goals were by June 20 by June 1st 2025 grades K to four will have a 5% decrease in those students who

027have below and well below indicators in reading reading acadance testing um our goal was 5% we had a decrease of 8% K to four which is amazing >> yeah that is >> math even more stunning. Um, our goal was 5% and we had a decrease of 20%. >> So I mean um this can be accredited to our teachers. They're they are embracing um the idea of increasing their tier one instruction and continuous feedback and improvement. So our are areas of growth. So we know what we need to work on. So with all that wonderful data, there's also the data that we have to stop and ask, okay, so what do we do? Because we know what we know. What do we do? Our primary areas of growth for 2025 2026 school year are increasing the

028percentage of K to4 students reading at grade level to at least 70% mastery and improving our fourth grade students mastery of the Utah science standards. To address these needs, we are adding additional teacher in both third and fourth grades to reduce class sizes and provide more targeted instruction. So we um the reading the literacy and math specialist is now a part-time person and um we um ask Miss Jetson to go back to third grade. Wonderful third grade teacher. We need her there. Um so she is teaching third grade. Um we also asked Mr. Taylor to teach in the fourth grade classroom. And then our our multilanguage learners will be helped by Miss Hancock who's a parrot under the direction of Miss King who has is one of our learning coaches and has expertise in that

029area. I'm at this point I'd like to say thank you to superintendent who brainstormed with me was a thought partner with me because trying to figure out all the ins and outs and what will be best for students took some time a lot of time >> it's fun though >> yeah and the process it was a process um beginning this year the third PLC meeting each month will be dedicated to a focused data dive and instructional conversation with our instructional coach and also our technology coach to guide responsive teaching. Additionally, our professional learning will concentrate on strengthening tier one instruction to ensure high quality standardsbased teaching for all students. So, I would say we know our areas that we need to improve and we're going to continue to address those and we feel like we

030have things put in place to address those areas that need um some attention. Um what are you most excited about this next year? We're excited to begin the 2025 2026 school year with renewed focus, additional resources, and a strong sense of teamwork towards change management, focusing on continuous feedback and improvement. The addition of new teachers in third and fourth grade will allow for smaller class sizes and more personalized instruction, giving our students greater opportunities to succeed and experience growth. Our commitment to intentional PLC time, holding it sacred, especially our monthly data dives with our instructional coach, will help us respond quickly to student needs and celebrate progress along the way. With professional learning centered on instruction, we are confident that our focus on back to the basics will result in measurable growth for our students.

031that back to the basics was our theme last year and it'll continue to be the theme this year. Um, one of the things as a teacher and as an administrator that drove me nuts was it seemed like we had a new theme every year and it was a and it was a change in focus. And how do you get good at anything if you're constantly having to change your focus? >> And uh so we're we're keeping that thing of theme of back to the basics. And and if you recall last year when we talked about back to the basics, we talked about our GSIP and our um uh culture of feedback and continuous improvement as being that that everything those two have to have a throughine to student impact. And um and so everything we've

032been doing with administrators, with teachers, the assessment project, all of that, there's a throughine between the culture of feedback and continuous improvement. GIP uh ultimately with the um desired outcome of student impact. Um and so >> we have a graphic that we're going to create. It's a point here and then a line and then a point here. And everything in this point is the assessment project. GIP tier one instruction parenthesis learning intention success criteria um PLC's professional learning tier one instruction and tier 2/tier3 instruction. And then here it says through line and this circle the only thing that is contained in this circle is student impact. >> Yeah. >> Because each one of these can be traced to student impact. And then the >> what tier one is, but I don't know what tier one

033>> initial instruction, >> right? Did they get >> initial instruction? It's what the whole class gets. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And then >> tier three is special education. >> Okay. >> And then the the GIP area that we're really focusing on this year is assessment, hence the assessment project. We started with summitive and we want to get really good at summitive assessments so that we can improve our formative assessments down the road ultimately to have that student impact. So >> So are we still doing are we still doing WEDA? >> WEDA is required >> is required by the state. it's to um it tests the multilanguage learners and so we still will work um with those students with story champs and also um Shelley often uses the analogy that if we're looking kind of do

034backwards design we're looking at what our special education students might need or MLL students might need and that's just good instruction for the rest of the students in the class too and so success criteria and learning intentions. Um, and we also have a new tier one instruction template that we're using that's focused on standards. So, >> I'm hoping >> back to the basics. >> Yep. Standards are the basics. >> Any other questions >> on that? >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Nice job. Do you do we have the same thing middle and high school or just was that data reporting? >> So we're we're doing one school possibly two in a month but with the size of the agenda tonight. >> Perfect. >> In leadership it we talked about just doing with

035one. >> Okay. It's to you superintendent items. >> All right. Um so just a quick policy and procedure review from last year. Um, we addressed 133 policies and procedures. Um, and just off of tonight, we'll hit a third of that, it feels like. But >> you want to try to do it all in one night? >> I apologize. But, um, anyway, but that that's a pretty that when you break that down into, you know, 10 to 11 board meetings, that's a that's a that's an engaged board in the process. And so I wanted to a report out on that, but b thank you for your willingness to engage with that. Um our 2526 calendars. We've made sure to add that the last day is a half day for that. Um and um then we also

036added some important dates like parent teacher conferences, preschool dates, things like that. There was one change since we posted this and that was with Silver Summit parent teacher conferences. And so there's copies of of that. Um you have a copy of that and then we also have some copies back on the table for anyone that wants to see that um in attendance. And um if you don't have any concerns about that, we'll we'll make sure that uh everything is reflected accurately on our website. >> Any questions or concerns on the calendar? >> Just that the fall break always happens between hunts instead of >> Yeah. Could you fix it for hunting season for tying? >> Well, you used to get a week off, right? >> Hey, any other questions? >> Okay. >> Um, we have

037convocation coming up this Friday at the middle school and, um, we'll have benefits fair that same day. Um and then uh there's a a new law that went into place for this new year where um all district employees that interact with students have to um they're required to uh receive uh state approved deescalation training. Um, and so we've got uh Friday afternoon for a couple hours um dedicated to having um news is actually going to come and put that on for us. And uh bus drivers are getting it tomorrow because they have their their meeting tomorrow. Um and then we're hoping to get as close to 100% on Friday as possible. whoever we don't get, then um principles will take care of chasing those people down in their buildings to make sure that they get

038trained because we're limited on the number of days that they have to receive that training and and become certified. So, um it's it it'll be a heavy day that Friday. Uh so, >> how are you tracking that and who's tracking it? we we'll have to um we'll actually have to take role >> and um in the future uh we've talked about seeing if there is a way to get it into vector for the vector training. Um the concern with that is it doesn't really allow people to ask questions and that's something that people may have questions about. You know, what do I do when when right >> little Johnny does this and on a vector training you can't do that. So, we're we're looking at different different ways um of potentially doing that in the

039future um and possibly offering multiple modalities of it. Uh but that that is something that goes into place. And then anyone that uh anyone that has the potential to well, we'll have to identify certain key people in every building um that will deal with um isolation, seclusion, and restraint. they have to go to an additional two-day training to be certified on those things. Um, and you'll you'll see some policy and procedure. In fact, the procedure is on tonight, but I'm I'm actually not going to I'm going to hold off on that procedure until we can put the policy and the procedure together. I just I didn't get the the policy on there in time and didn't want to didn't want to do it with less than 24 hours. So, um, but you'll see it's it's

040pretty robust. Um, but anyway, I think Friday will be >> certainly Friday morning is going to be fantastic with convocation. I mean, it doesn't get any better than that. >> Are you the guest speaker >> somewhat and so are some of our admin and >> Good. >> Yep. >> Some of our teachers. >> Good. That would be great. >> Yeah. So, >> I'm I'm hoping it will be as good if not better than last year. Okay. So, >> we had a lot of good feedback last year. >> Yeah. >> Um, just some measles information. As you know, Amanda and I met with the county health department and the other school districts in our in our county um to talk about the state uh response plan. Uh, you saw the letter that went out. Um, I

041have a I have a draft copy. I have a draft letter to staff along with um an FAQ sheet for questions that staff may have um that that I'll send out and we'll work on an FAQ sheet for parents as well. Um probably the biggest question is if I am exposed and have to go home for 21 days, do I get paid? And there is no pay for that. It just >> that's that's the downside to >> our staff who's vaccinated or not. >> We don't necessarily know all the staff. Okay. Um we do know right now as far as based on our students um that from from last year uh ending of year we have 107 students who were um who were exempt from the from the vaccinations. Uh we are getting and I'll

042I'll talk about this here in a second, but it does seem like we're getting several um new students either coming back from homeschool or charter or private and also I think there may be some movement especially with the Francis developments that are happening there. Um we're seeing an increase in in potential new student enrollment or returning student enrollment at in particular at the elementary and and middle school. Um, and we're working on get getting the data for the high school in Silver Summit. So, I'll and I, like I said, I can talk about that in a second, but um, long story short, it won't affect most of the students and staff. It really affects those who are not vaccinated. Um, and I I've always been a a proponent of parent choice that, you know, I

043don't want to get in between a student and a parent in that choice. And so it's just one of those natural consequences if you aren't if you don't have a student vaccinated and they're they're uh exposed. They they will have to go home for up to 21 days. >> The same thing not paid. >> It's not. >> Yeah. Okay. >> And that's where you hope they've got some accumulated sick leave. And so, um, but but again, that's it's choices and and I I would never tell anyone that their choice is the wrong choice because it's the right choice for them, >> right? >> Whether that's a parent or an employee. >> Okay. >> Um, any questions on that? >> As those letters went out already, >> the letters to parents went out, the public went

044out, the staff. >> Did you have any feedback? Um, I haven't heard anything and Don hasn't. And generally it will come to either Don or me or one of you. >> Yeah. >> Um, and we just we wanted to get that we wanted to get word out as quickly as we could after that meeting because I don't want to surprise parents a day before school starts. And uh especially just just even talking about it, my mind instantly and I know this was the case for Amanda, our minds both instantly went to COVID and masks and forced things and and it that's not the case thankfully. So um >> that comes up I want to be in that meeting. >> Yeah, I know you told Yeah. >> set them straight. >> Um anyway, and we're we're

045very I will say we're very fortunate to have Amanda and our nursing staff. they are just top-notch. So, we're really lucky to have them and and having them help um with all that new student enrollment. Um obviously, families are still enrolling students. Uh the numbers I'll share tonight are they're likely to go up uh because like I said, families are still enrolling. Um the elementary currently is sitting at 449 students. They actually anticipate having 32 new students based on new student enrollment. Some of those um are replacing families that that probably moved and we think that's about 10ish. So even then if that if that if that holds true that that's still a net gain. Um we and like I said earlier we do know that we're getting some students back from home school charter

046and private. Uh so that's that's great. Um, did were you gonna say something? Okay. >> Just like really a week before school. >> I I know. Oh, that that she she Yes, she she's been great. She hasn't been nervous one bit. Anyway, um, middle school's currently sitting at 429 students and again anticipating that number to go up because families are still enrolling and I think it's 20ish give give or take. 22 as of right now. >> 22 as of right now that they believe are new students. We're not sure necessarily exactly how many students are replacing students moving out. Um but uh >> that's almost as big as the high school, isn't it? >> The high So the high school currently has 526 students enrolled. Um and we don't know how many of those are

047new students yet. Um Dan um Lim is the right guy in the right position. He's he's figuring out how to create reports that can that we can run to try to figure out how how we know who's moving out versus who's moving into those those homes. >> Numbers are pretty accurate. When I was principal though, you'd have 20 kids in and 10 kids out. >> Yeah. >> Some years. Mhm. >> And when you when you look at our la our our I was Adam and I were looking at this today, a five-year longitudinal piece, we're down what was it? Uh 50 50ish kids over the last five years. And so if we can get some net positives >> districtwide or >> districtwide. Okay. >> Park City, they were >> Was it 500 something? >> Yeah.

048North Summit has uh gone up a little, I think 40 kids, something like that. But anyway, uh yeah, if we can get some net positivity going, that would be fantastic. Um so that >> Yep. And then Silver Summit right now is currently sitting at 127 students enrolled and again, we're hoping that we'll have more students enroll uh as it goes on. And then I wanted to just two more things. One, NSBA registration still isn't open. >> Yeah, I got the email that it opens August 20th. >> Yep. So Don will take care of that. Um, she's You're going to want hard numbers, right? >> And then um >> like right now hard numbers. >> Do you want >> if you can give them >> I I'm planning on Is everyone planning on it for NSBA?

049>> They move the dates, didn't they? >> They did. It's It's the next week. Let's see the email. >> At a minimum, what we'll do is we'll book the rooms because we can cancel the rooms, but >> April 10th through the 12th in San Antonio. You got a rodeo though? >> I usually do. >> Well, at least it's in S. We'll be in San Antonio. >> San Antonio's in February. >> Oh, dang it. >> Wrong month. >> Where is it? It's San Antonio or is it Austin? >> It's San Antonio. >> San Antonio. >> Don I plan on attending >> and Linda plans on it. I think Matt said he wasn't in too. So, like you said, just go ahead and get the >> We'll get the rooms. >> Yep. Unless anyone's a for sure.

050No. >> I'm not a for sure. >> Okay. >> I cancel too late. >> Too late. >> I'll let you know when I go. >> Okay. >> Um and >> that last year you let us know, right? >> Yeah. And then lastly, I I just want to brag a little bit about Lucinda and Teresa Lim. they've taken on uh developing a district-wide teacher mentoring program. >> I saw that on >> so that it's not something that uh a principal has to try to manage while they're trying to manage and be instructional leaders in their building. >> All those the picture of all the people in the room, were those all mentors? >> Those were mentors. And so and and I'll just kind of pat I can pass this down. This is the binder that everyone

051got today. Um so they met with mentors today and um uh had a lot of positive feedback. We really are trying to you know as we try to create a culture of feedback and continuous improvement to do that you have to build people's capacity and uh and so we're we're focusing on building teacher leaders the mentors capacity so they can also help build the capacity of their mentees. >> Great. >> Uh similar to what we're doing with coaches but with a different focus. >> Great. And that's >> how how many new teachers do we have in the district this year? >> Uh I think it's six, seven. It's it's small. We >> small >> and we're >> five smaller than normal. >> It's it's it's a lot smaller. And here's the other thing that I

052just want to point out. We four of those five were like retirees or you know we we had one person resign and that's probably the low well it's the lowest number that I know of uh as far as resignations and so I think we're doing some good work. I think the the principles are doing some some great work. Um and uh I think as a district we're doing some good work on supporting people and and trying to help uh retain the very best. So >> sure. >> Yeah, you're right. >> Mr. and secondear teachers. >> We're doing it. >> So I think we have six or seven mentors at the elementary school but we only have one teacher >> and isn't it like Mrs. Dalton she's doing still getting her degree. She has is that

053a separate mentor or is that the same thing? She has two different news that's helping her, but she has a mentor in the >> in the school as well. >> The news mentor is more of a mentor to help get through the Apple program than that. >> We giving these um mentors stipens. Good. >> We are Yep. >> We often ask them to do extra for nothing. >> I agree. I absolutely agree. >> No, that's a great >> So we we actually wrote a grant. So, a grant is funding this and if that grant goes, we're really trying to create a meaningful mentoring program. And if the grant dries up in a couple years, >> but we have success with it, then we'll we'll we'll try to embed that into our budget because why would

054you want to quit doing something that's being successful and supportive? So, >> that's awesome. I just wanted to point that out because they've been working their tails off to develop it and they got it off the ground today and it was really exciting. >> Good. >> So, >> any questions on the superintendent items that anyone has? >> Okay. Adam, business administrator items. >> Okay. So, really the only thing I have tonight is is part of the audit requirement is and is to do a fraud risk assessment. Um, and basically we do a self assessment of where we think we are. And really nothing's changed from last year. Um, couple of there's only a couple of no answers in here. One is, you know, I'm not a CPA or any of those certifications. I just have

055an MBA. So, that's a no. And then, um, does the entity have a formal internal audit function? We have an internal audit committee, but we've really not implemented that fully yet. >> Um, I think we're in the process of looking at that. I think uh Matt was >> Yeah. >> was the head of that, but we really just kind of got to get that off the ground and >> and start picking a few programs and and start doing some audits. So, that's basically uh our audit requirement and our self- assessment. Are there any questions on that? >> Yeah, I was wondering what what was our total points? 355. >> Oh, 355. Sorry, I missed that. >> Sorry. Yeah, it should have been up here. I just noticed that, too. And I'll I'll add that to

056that if you're okay with that. So, >> so we're in the low low right on the edge of being very low. >> No, it's just on the It's the opposite. We're This should be inverted. So, we're 355 and above. >> High. >> We're high risk. >> No, low risk. >> Low risk. Yeah, that's Yeah. We have so we're low right on the edge of being buried. >> Sorry. >> Yeah. >> Low risk. Yes. >> That's the story right now anyway. >> Yeah. Okay. Any questions on that? >> Okay. Master planning updates. >> Okay. This is me too. Wes couldn't make it tonight. But um just a couple of things that we need to talk about. Um as you know, you approved the rec center project uh for this this upcoming fiscal year or the fiscal

057year we're in right now. Um, we only had one contractor that bid on this. Luckily, they are a state approved contractor and uh they use state approved costing. So, um, so we we're we're getting an okay deal. I I mean, uh, there's just not a lot of people that want to come do that work. So, >> um, one of the things that did happen is it came in significantly. If you call $400,000 uh significant, which I do, um it came in higher than expected. So, uh a lot of that was >> we added stuff to it. >> Added some things, but we also um the the electrical is really what what uh it was it's a lot worse than what we thought it was. >> And so, those are some of the things. And we're

058upgrading some of the lighting to the new LED lighting. We're going to get some uh rebates on that. But, uh, anyway, that there's a lot of work and you're going to see a lot more, um, requirements for the rec center as we go forward. It's just it's just getting to that age where it's falling apart. We've got to put some money into >> What's the timet you're looking at? >> So, for this project, this part of it, um, we're trying to get it done in September. >> Now, will that require the closure of the entire facility? >> We're going to have just the pool for like two months, >> right? Well, a month. We're hoping a month. >> Yeah. >> So, so you will get complaints. >> Yeah. >> Just so you know. >> But

059we've got to start investing or it's going to fall. Not it won't literally fall down, but we won't have it in a few years if we don't start putting money into it. >> So, so that's going to cost us about $142,000 to to do all the things that are mentioned in there. Um, and we'd only got about, you know, 950,000. You mean a million million >> a million425,000. >> What did I say? Sorry. >> You said 100, which would be >> Can I just add another one? >> Does that include the boilers or is that on another >> that's another one. So that that's Yeah. Here in just a minute. Um the other thing we wanted to talk about today is our rec center cleaning contract. We've been on a one-year contract for as long

060as I've been here, basically, and it was time to come into compliance to to to get a long-term compliance on there. And I don't know why our things not working here. It's kind of weird. >> My question when you go as you're going into that, have you compared what it would cost to >> hire our own people? >> Yeah. So, we would have to hire two and a probably two and a half full-time employees to to replace what we've got. and it would be about $400,000 more. So, with benefits that we have to >> provide. So, yeah, we did look at that. So, >> uh and then the last one was additional recommendation for this fiscal year. We had a boiler go down in the in the rec center. Um the parts are they don't

061make them anymore. They think they can temporarily fix it and bypass a few things to kind of keep it up, but it's time to replace them. It was on our master planning uh document that we had anyway. We were just thinking about doing it in a couple of years, but I think we need to move it up because it's it it's time and and we're going to if we lose there's two redundant boilers. If we lose one boiler, we're still we can still limp along, but if we lose two, that whole the whole rec center will be down because it provides all the heat for the whole building plus all the it heats all the water. So, those are significant boilers that uh do a lot more work than any of our other boilers in

062the in the whole district. And so, um like I said, we we are recommending that we move that forward to this year. Um, we have the money to do it because we the money that we had planned to do this year on the parking lot. I got a lot of that funded out of last year's budget. So, that's freed us up to to be able to add funding for this current fiscal year to get that project done. So, >> and is that to replace one or two? >> We're going to replace both of them. >> Can that correspond with when they're doing the other stuff? >> I don't think we're going to have them designed and and all that before that happens. I I would love it. That'd be nice, would >> But what we

063can do is we can phase those in since we have we can we can do one >> time. Yeah. >> Yeah. And so we won't have to shut down the pool or the other systems because we can do one at a time with those. So I think we can mitigate another shutdown. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. So those are the the the three basic projects that we need approval on and we'll do that later in the meeting. So >> any other questions on that? Nope. Okay. Procedural updates, superintendent, >> there there are just a few procedures. You'll see a lot of those also have corresponding policies or some of them have corresponding policies that you'll you'll uh see and that we can talk about later on. Um I don't know if you want me

064to go through each one one by one or if you want to just if you have questions on >> I think we can just do if we have questions. So, does anyone have questions on A through U? >> My question is, is all this based on state law? >> Um, state law, state board rule. Um, yes, there's a lot of legislation that has hit us. Um and we sometimes the we'll write a policy or procedure based on the what was written in state code and then in and then towards the end of July we generally get model policy and we go back and compare and look at what model policy was compared to um what the the current the state code landed on. Um and so a lot of these we we most of them

065we base off of that model policy. And when you compare model policy with state code, it's not uncommon for it to be almost verbatim from state code, just arranged. So it's a little more uh reader friendly. So yeah, it's >> so realistically the local board doesn't have a lot of control. >> Um >> anything that's driven by state. Yeah, >> this is right. And this is for four years we've been talking about um the need for things to be locally controlled and that will be another f you know it's been a JLC focus and I I know it will be a focus again this year. Um I know there there are several quite a few uh bill files already open for education and we just barely got model policy and we're hearing about bill files

066that are open for this next legis. >> Got a lot of things written down but there ain't dang thing we can do about any of them. So, >> so yeah. So, and that's where it's really important to um >> go to the JLC meetings. >> Well, and it's really Yeah. And it's really important to to contact our um our you know, Senator Winterton and um Representative Oxier. Um we Wasatch a district like Wasatch um just where precincts come together. They have they have a couple senators and a few representatives and things. And unfortunately we're not that way. You could say it's also good, but um it it means a lot. It has a lot of impact if we are reaching out to our local um elected officials. Um, and ultimately whatever the legislature wants to

067have happen, that's what happens. Um, but yeah, this there we're also seeing an increase, it seems, of requirements to have policies on things. um back, you know, several years ago, they would they would create a law and we have to follow the law, but now we're seeing more of an LEA shall create a policy that meets blah blah blah blah blah. Well, then it's it's basically written for you at that point. >> And that's what a lot of this is. >> Don't don't we have control over our procedures though as far as how we're going to implement the law? how how we implement it is although a a lot of the legislation is now written to where some of that how is >> is al stated it's >> we kind of moved a lot of

068that to procedure just so we didn't have to approve every time the law changed >> because it yeah it changes >> that that is one of the reasons why the board asked to do that is because things change so frequently you'll see there are policies and procedures that are not even a year old that that are changing. >> So So like um student student attendance and stuff like that. I read through that. It looked real similar to what I had in a student handbook as a principal >> a lot. >> So do you guys have student handbooks anymore? You just refer to this? >> Yeah, it's you have to have them. And and honestly, so one of the things and I apologize. I wanted to lead out with this and I didn't. One of the

069things that um that we've that I've always committed to do with the board is it doesn't matter if it's a substantive change or a non-substantive change. So, some of these are just updated codes. There's no change in policy or procedure to the verbiage, but we have to have the updated >> uh codes. And so, um, that's just a practice that we've done for the last four years to let the board know, hey, we're actually in this policy or we're actually in this procedure. Um, and there's no substantive change, but there are code, you know, but but the codes have changed. So, some of it is is also just something as simple as that. >> Any other questions we want to address? >> I had a question and now I can't find it. Maybe you can

070help me. I don't know if it was in procedures or if it was down below, but it was the one that was talking about like definition of sex. >> Yep. >> And I think it was for participation in >> Yep. >> in extracurriculars. >> Yeah. Now I can't find it. But my question when I was reading it to prepare was it referenced three different things. It referenced I think like reproductive organs. I think maybe that's not how it >> based on the re based on the reproductive organs that you had at birth. >> Yeah. Kind of thing. and um chromosomes. >> Mhm. >> And then um >> trying >> probably birth certificate >> hormones. >> Oh, you're So >> and and then in the definitions below it doesn't reference two of those three. >> Yep.

071>> So I was wondering if we need a stronger definition that refers back to those three things. >> So I believe where you're talking about what it does is I think that's the point where they say you have to follow the UHS. There's the so the UHSAA has a committee and a process that addresses those. So it's addressed at the UHSAA level, not at the individual school or district level. >> Okay. So, if a student has changed u their, you know, if they've had a physical change to their sex organs and they've changed their um their birth certificate, but they still may be an XX or an XY, that you have to go through the High School Activities Association. there's a committee there before you can be deemed eligible to participate on a team that

072wasn't your original sex designated uh sex, I guess. >> Okay. >> Does that make sense? >> It does. It does. I was just when I was reading it, I saw those three things and then I didn't see all three things in the definition. >> And and I think that's because it's referring it's referring all of those things to have to go through the activities association. It's it it is kind of a weird paragraph that uh um and I think that the complexity of it is why the state has said it goes through the UHSA because yeah, if you're not consistent from district to district, >> I mean that's litigation >> right off the bat. So, >> um >> Okay. >> And there were there were a few dealing with gender and sex, you know, like

073the sex sex designated facilities, things like that. you saw um uh that a privacy uh policy and and procedure where um we're not in compliance ve I don't know of any district that's in compliance with um all changing facilities being floor to ceiling >> uh uh >> wall barrier >> with lockable door you know that kind of stuff and to be honest I it would scare me to have that in particular in a high school because I know what happens in bathrooms. Um I'm talking about vaping. I'm not talking about anything else. But um anyway, >> uh yes. Um anyway, uh but the way the law's written is, and so you you probably saw it in the draft, um policy or procedure is that any remodel, renovation, um or rebuild >> or new construction were

074required by law to bring it up to that current state code. But we didn't specify that it had to be the Florida ceiling because state building code could change from year to year. So, we just said our plan because a district has to have a plan of of how they'll become compliant. That's our plan. As we rebuild or renovate, remodel or build, we'll bring it up to whatever that current code is regarding sex designated facilities. >> Okay. Thanks. >> Yeah, >> you know it really well. >> Oh, yeah. He's been writing them all. >> No, >> thank you for doing that for us. By the way, >> I I'll tell So, let me >> thank all of you guys for helping because I belong to other boards. The board members sit and write them. >>

075Yeah. So, our directors our director Stephanie has a heavy lift and we work together. Um but it's it's not just me, not just one person. And we do we do seek input from from people as well. I know Stephanie does. I do. especially if it's going to impact um >> the students in the school, you know, like the cell phone policy and and that. >> Yes. Thank you very much. >> Any questions on any of those procedures? >> I I will say I want to I'm I'm going to put the um I think it was 6069 was it? Um the Oh, no. 6029, the emergency safety intervention. I'm going to bring that back next month for first reading so that it's so that you have the corresponding policy as well. >> Okay. I I did

076have one more question. Yeah. >> Just it's just a question of curiosity. >> Yeah. >> Um on the toilet training one, >> it said >> I Yes. >> All about locker rooms and toilet training today. But the um the toilet training one said that um you have to meet these criteria. that the parent has to say they have to meet this unless they have a >> IEP or 504. >> Yeah. And I was just curious in that case >> if they have one of those who helps them visit the school >> generally it's >> par that's why we increase the special ed paras rate because they are doing things like >> they're helping toilet and >> okay >> and and a and a lot of times those students one of their IEP goals will be

077>> around being able to toilet. Yeah. So, >> okay. >> Um, and, uh, along those lines, um, so I talked to Jenny Earl, our state board member, today about this policy. Again, um, state law, I want to comply, but I don't want to hyper comply and I don't want to undercomply. And so, uh, state law talks about, uh, they don't define some things around, um, who has to provide that guarantee of toilet training. It used to be specified as kindergarten. Now, it says students. So, >> we have preschool, Tony. >> We do, but but it doesn't, the law doesn't impact preschool. It's just kindergarten through 12th grade. It specifies it specifies that. But um >> it's a little embarrassing to ask a parent of a junior that you've known for 12 plus years, is your

078kid potty trained? You know, toilet trained. And so, um I the way I interpreted it and and Jenny Earl also agreed, we're going to for this year, we're only going to require it of kindergarteners and new students. they have there's a form it's in procedure that parents would have to fill out but then moving on because this is the first year of the implementation of the law moving forward next year we'll just put it as a checkbox when parents register and enroll their kids so that it's a it's less of an issue it's it's less management it's less trying to track down and everything else >> it just seems >> small letters >> it just makes sense but we couldn't do that this year because of timing. So, >> what do we do for preschool

079to make sure there's that the students are protected and the staff's protected in case there's sexual abuse allegations? What how do we make sure there's there's protections in place for >> potty stuff? >> Yeah. >> First off, generally preschool often times will have bathrooms in their room. So, it's a lot harder for something like that to happen when it's proximity-wise in the classroom. Do you know what Kim and those guys do? >> Too deep. >> That's what I thought. >> Okay. That's generally what happens is too deep. >> Okay. Perfect. >> They do that all through special ed. >> They do. Yeah. >> Okay. I figured you had it you had protections in place. This one >> double check that everybody's protected. >> No cameras. Background check. Yeah, that's right. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >>

080Too deep all the time. Okay. Perfect. >> That's great. >> Thanks. >> Good questions. >> Yeah. Any other questions? >> Okay. We don't have any public input tonight. No signed up. And recess. Do you guys need a recess or you good to keep going? >> Keep going. If we can turn the air conditioner on. >> Is anybody else getting hot? I am. >> I'm getting hot all of a sudden. I don't know. Okay. Action items. >> Let's start with the consent agenda. Are there any discussions or questions on the consent agenda? I it probably isn't on the consent agenda, but I just want to clarify something. Somebody told me that when our staff fully like to Florida and stuff, they got in the first class seats and stuff like that. Is that stuff really true

081or are we just going coach like everybody else? >> So, what we've done is we've uh the previous board allowed up to like comfort plus >> comfort plus >> um but nothing more than that. So, um there there have been instances where whether it's a board me whether it's a board member or whoever um will upgrade to first class, but they're paying for that either through their >> doing like a Yeah. They have a that's generally what it is. They have so many miles they upgrade for free. >> Yeah. >> Um but no, we we do not pay for >> I say we just fly coach and first class upgrade then do it on their own >> because that don't look good. No, >> didn't sound good. When somebody brought it up to me, I

082said, I'll check into that. >> And you concede when the travel requests come in. Yeah, we don't cover that. >> Yeah. And and there are some benefits. I I if I remember correctly, one of the benefits to the comfort plus is it gives someone the ability to check a bag for free. I think that was one of the benefits. And so a lot of times when the difference in cost between paying to check a bag and and a comfort plus is about the same amount, >> $28 or something. That's about but but that's not the case if you're buying a flight last minute. >> Yeah. >> So >> I just think we need to be careful with that stuff. >> Yeah, I agree. >> Okay. Any any questions with the current consent agenda? >> If

083not, then I'll take a motion. >> Do we have to say everything on it? >> Yeah. And but you can say you can do this. You can do this paragraph. >> Okay, I'll do that one. >> Okay. >> I was going to say that's a lot of history. A motion to approve the consent agenda to include the June 9, 2025 meeting minutes, the June 26 budget hearing minutes, the June 2025 and July 2025 checks revenue report and expense report, the new hires to include the SSC new hires, the new teachers, the substitute teachers, the new education support professionals, the other hires, the volunteers with approved background checks, the homeschool affidavits, polic policy 50005, extra duties for second reading and the foreign exchange student. >> Okay, we have a motion by board member Metaf. Do we

084have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by board member Eert. Any other further discussions? We'll take it to vote. All in favor? I I >> Okay. Risk assessment. We will take a motion. I'm getting all the approvals. That's kind of cool. >> I know. But that I like that. >> That was me. I didn't know it did that. Sorry. >> No, it's great. We like it. Okay. Any >> We're moving to approve the >> Uhuh. And actually, if you look on your agenda, it it says it right there. Like underneath she pits what you want to say. >> Oh, on the right. >> Just right underneath it. And if you'll add to this one that we add the total score of 355 in the in the document and I'll make that change. >> Maybe

085you're on the public view. Okay, here just read this one. We'll make Ty read it and then add 355 in the document for risk score. >> Motion to approve the um full year 2025 South Summit School District fraud fraud risk assessment. Uh 355 >> is our score >> is the score that's added to the document. >> Okay, we have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second by board member Wilston Hume. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Okay. Rec center renovation project. Do we have a motion or any discussion needed? >> Sounds like something we got to have to have. We got to get down >> either that or we tear it down. >> Yeah, >> it's where we're at. >> Okay. Well, >> it falls down. >> I'll entertain a motion.

086>> I make a motion to approve the FY2025 South School. No, that's the fraud risk one just come up. Sorry, I can't get to it. Sorry. But I So move. >> Okay, here. Go ahead. Motion to approve that one. Motion to approve the South Aquatics and Fitness Center renovation project. >> Okay. Any sec? A second. >> I'll second. >> Okay. Second by board member Metaf. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Okay. AFC Boiler Project. Any questions prior to a motion? I would just add that you add on the motion where it says 650,000 that you include the 704 because we have to have it designed >> the 7 Oh, so plus 704. >> No, the 74,000 instead of 650 >> 704. >> Yeah, that includes the approval for the boilers and the design

087and commission. >> So you could just get rid of the 650 and say >> really get rid of the first. So, I I um talked to one of our ex- studentents the other day at the fair and he's a he's an engineer now. >> Uhhuh. >> And he that's what he does is he designs boiler systems for schools. >> Oh, really? >> So, maybe we ought to call Hagen and see if he >> What's his name? >> Hagen. Um Hagen >> Miles. >> Hagen Miles. Okay. Yeah, we we we'd love to have a little >> He works for a company in Salt Lake. Okay. I'm not sure who he works for, but >> Yeah. >> Well, you know Hagen is >> more competitions is always better. >> It is. >> Good football player. Yeah. >>

088Okay. Well, >> what are what are we replacing the 650,000? >> 74 with >> 704 right above >> total at the bottom 704. >> Okay. >> So, I move to approve an additional $74,000 for the boiler project at South Summit High School and South Summit Aquatic and Fitness Center. >> Okay. A motion by board member Metaf. Do we have a second? >> I'll second. >> And second by Eert. All in favor? I any opposed? All right. Rec center cleaning project. Do we have any discussion on the bids? >> So, just so everybody knows, um, Merchants was selected. They were the lowest bid. They're the ones that are doing it right now. So, >> they've always done it. I think >> they've always done it. So, >> but we did get three bids and they came

089in the lowest. So, >> I make a mot I make a motion to approve the bid for the South S. an aquatic and oh hell I what I do that for oh yeah aquatic fitness center cleaning contract for three years to merchants for the amount of 404 >> okay we have a motion by board member Wilston do we have a second >> I'll second >> okay second by board member Eert all in favor I any opposed all right retire policy 2005 five construction management contracts. >> So when we redid uh our um policy for purchasing um we included the construction management in that new policy and we didn't ever retire this policy. So this is a redundant policy that needs to be retired. >> Any discussion? Okay, I'll take a motion. I move to retire

090policy 20005, construction management contracts. >> Okay. Motion by board member Metaf. Any seconds? >> Second by board member Eert. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Okay. Policy 100006 board meeting first reading. Any discussion? Superintendent. >> Uh just what it says. It's we're updating we updated the codes. Uh and then also uh one of the updates on the new code was that it does we're no longer required to post on social media. That requirement was removed and so we thought it would be good to just mirror our ourh policy to what that is. >> Any questions? >> So we just post on the website. >> We not the meeting minutes. We just post that we're having a board meeting. >> Yes. So we we >> This is on the district's website on district door. >>

091Yeah. Okay. >> And the public notice website. Yep. >> Okay. If there's no questions, we'll take a motion. >> Um I move to approve um the board meeting policy 10006 for the first reading. >> Okay. A motion by board member Wilston Hume. Second. A second. >> Second by board member Metaf. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed. All right. Policy 20006, ethics and public contracting first reading. >> So this one was uh I I redid this whole policy. Uh, and I did it based on model policy and a couple of the other um districts, granite in particular, um, to match what's in code and in in uh, board rules. So, this is just a redo, but it's it's pretty similar to the last one. It just redone, makes it a little more readable. >> Any

092questions? >> Nope. Okay, I'll take a motion. >> I make a motion. We approve policy 20006 ethics in public contracting for first reading. >> Okay. Motion by board member Eert. Second. >> I'll second. >> All in favor? I. Any opposed? Okay. I. New policy 3058 flags on school property for first reading. >> So you'll find most if not all of these policies are due to recent legislation. flags in schools and on school property is one of those. Um, I won't keep repeating that each time, but uh, uh, basically what this is is the flags that are approved to be displayed on school district property are the >> classrooms and everywhere >> everywhere district any district property is the US flag, state flag, flags of other countries or states, uh, city or other municipalities, military branches,

093the PMIA flag, Indian tribe flags, college, university, public school flags, official US Olympic and Parolympic flags or other organizations using our school facilities. But those organizations, uh, they can only have their flags up during like for a facility rental, they can only have it up for the event and and in that event's location. So, um, you know, if if someone rents the the football field, the stadium, let's say, for example, they can have flags up of their organization at the football field and only while they're there and then they have to take those down. >> And if it's the wrong flag, shame on us for writing it. >> Okay. Any questions? >> That's my only question, but you guys clarify it. Where where does the clarification fall on this for like those American flags with

094the >> blue >> the blue with the police line and all that through it? >> Um it does not so code and and model policy do not go into that. It does go into some somewhat into political um flags, but um that's where you start to get gray. And a lot of times the political flags that it's referring to are flags that wouldn't necessarily be flown um at the school or at the at the district, but they'd be used in more often than not a social studies class um >> uh for a lesson, you know, and and they can't stay up. They have to they though they can be put up and then they have to be removed when you're through with that lesson or that unit. Um, so >> good question. >> Great question.

095Any other questions? Okay, we'll take a motion. >> Um, motion. I make a motion to approve policy 3058, flags on school property for first reading. >> Okay. Motion made by board member Metaf. Second. >> Second by board member Wilston Hume. All in favor? I >> I any opposed? >> Okay. Jay, new policy 4072, Utah Statewide online education program for first reading. >> So, um this uh the policy is relatively short. The procedure is certainly uh more lengthy as far as that's the how we have to go about doing it. But we have to have a a policy and uh procedure around the US uh USOE the online education program. Uh it's a requirement of every district. Um and uh if you were to look at the procedures associated with this, it's how the how the

096schools go about um implementing that state on statewide online education program. We've had a statewide online education program for quite some time. Um I don't know why this uh bill came to pass. Obviously someone wasn't doing what needed to have >> offering it. >> Yeah. Um and so uh hence we've got this. Um it really isn't uh I don't think it's really a change to what we've been doing as far as our day-to-day operations. Um uh so I I don't think it's going to be a big deal for the for the schools that that have that. Um and I think uh does does the middle school do you have many kids doing the statewide online education program? I didn't think so. I know the high school has has some and um Silver Summit. So >>

097So is this for like credit recovery or >> No, it's like a home school. >> It's usually first time credit. So if I don't, let's say I fit >> summer PE and stuff like that. >> So generally the USOE happens during the school year. Um and uh let's say I can't fit biology into my schedule because I want to take AP cal or whatever, you know, for whatever reason. >> Um you can or or it could just be I I don't want to be in that teacher's class. I mean that is some of >> that is some of what happens. Um and so we have that offer >> um to students to families um >> and uh and the counselors take care of making sure to get every everything taken care of for registration and

098and that and then it's up to the student um and that USOE uh provider to get the transcripts back to the school so that they can make sure it's reflected on that student's transcript. And like I said, they've been doing it for quite some time. I don't think it's going to be much of a much of a change. >> Okay. Any questions? >> All right. >> I said USSOE. It's S O S O S O S O S O S O S O S O S O S O SP. I apologize. >> I heard giggles. >> I move to approve policy 4072 Utah State Utah's statewide online education program for first reading. >> Okay. I have a motion by Wilston Hume and >> I'll second. >> Eert second. Okay. All in favor? >> I. Any

099opposed? Okay. New policy 4073, parental participation first reading. >> So, this policy really focuses in particular on making sure we're providing access for parents who u may not speak English or may not be fluent in English. Um, it requires that we uh have translation and and interpretive services. This is another one I don't think will be a huge impact on us because right now generally the schools have people on staff that are able to meet that requirement whether it's a counselor or a secretary or a teacher that can that can um that can uh can be at and participate in things like IEPs or parent teacher conferences or or a one-on-one meeting with an administrator or a teacher. Um but it is uh it is a requirement for all all schools uh to have. Um

100one thing um I I the nice thing about one we have to have a formal policy regardless. And one thing I'd like to see us do um or move into is maybe formalizing it a little bit more um potentially with some sort of a stipend. Um uh it it's a lot cheaper to do something like that than it is to hire uh someone at every school. Uh, and the third I looked into the third party contracts uh, I think two years ago and it just for a district like ours, >> it's just so expensive because you have to pay people to come over the mountain >> and they either don't want to or you're paying >> a lot of money and and so we've been able to I think we've been able to sufficiently meet

101the needs of our parents of of our community um, inhouse. Um, so that's one of the things that we want to start tackling. >> I'd have a lot better retirement if you'd have done that when I was there. >> Well, you know, >> did a lot of interpreting. >> All right, I'll take a motion on that. >> Motion to approve policy 4073, parental participation for first reading. >> Okay, a motion by board member Metaf. Second. >> Second by board member Wilston Hume. All in favor? I >> I >> Any opposed? >> Okay. Policy 6026, concussion management first reading. >> This really is just mainly if you look, it's the codes and the and the um state board rules, the admin rules that have been updated. So, nothing real substantive. >> Any questions? >> Okay, we'll

102take a motion. >> You want to do that? Seems your kids are the most concussed kids. >> Right. Right. I move to approve policy 6026 concussion management for first reading. >> Okay, we have a motion by board member Wilson. Do we have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Metaf. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Okay. Policy 6051, personal electronic devices, cell phones, first reading. >> So, this is also one that has a corresponding procedure with it. um you probably saw, but um so the original bill around cell phones was really it it was pretty short and pretty simple and it was just no cell phones during school and um by the by the time it went through all of the committees and everything else, um there was a lot added to it

103um which you'll see when you look at that procedure like the procedures around what a school has to have in place if they're going to confiscate a phone and and how they're going to communicate that the phone was confiscated and things like that. So, this our our policy and our procedure really follows the model policy um and state code. It just uh and I shouldn't give my own personal opinion, but I really liked the original bill best. >> We we did a lot of the things that covers in this when I was principal. >> Yeah, it's very it will look very familiar to most people. >> It will it will. >> Okay. Any questions? All right, we'll take a motion. >> I move to approve policy 6052 student acceptable use. >> It's the one above

104that. Yeah, >> the one above it. 6051, personal electronic devices, cell phones for first reading. >> Okay. Motion by board member Wilston. Second. >> I'll second. >> Second by board member Metaf. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Okay. policy 6052, student acceptable use policy for first reading. >> Okay. This adds a line regarding damage to equipment. Um and if this is one that you uh are going to approve for first reading. Um if if you would um just add in your wording that we changed the word fee to fine because it's not actually a fee. It is a fine. Um and I think we've talked in the past about the difference between those and why >> that would have to be a fine. So, >> um, any questions on on that? It really just

105adds the accountability that if you break a device, you can and will be fined for that replacement or that repair. Oh, sorry. That's on another one coming. This is the Oh, no. That's right. There it is. Fees. >> This one. Yeah. >> And Mr. F. >> How does that How does that affect on fee waivers? >> Um, because it's a fine, they're not exempt from it. Good. >> Yeah. And that's that's why it's important that it be this is where semantics matter. That's why it's important that it be labeled as a fine because otherwise the board would have to say, "Okay, a fee for a screen will be this much. A fee for a key will be this much." And and that that's just >> You can't cover all that. So it it that's why

106we've got it put >> in place if a student can't afford to pay the fine, they get to work it off. >> Um that that is an option. Um, and that's something that they work out through their admin. >> Okay. >> So, >> I'd encourage that, ladies. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Any other questions? Okay. We'll take a motion. >> I make a motion to approve policy 6052, student acceptable use policy for first reading with a word change from >> fee to fine. Yep. Okay, we have a motion by board member Matt Caf. Do we have a second? >> Second by board member Wilston Hume. All in favor? I. >> Any opposed? >> Okay. Policy 6061, participation in extracurricular activities. First reading. >> The one you talking? >> This is Yeah, this is this one requires

107a school to designate each athletic activity and team as designated for male, female, or co-ed or mixed. Um, and then it also further defines sex as an individual's biological sex at birth. Um, and I think those are the biggies in this in this one. >> Is there any questions? >> I move to approve policy 60 6061 participation in extracurricular activities for first reading. >> Okay, we have a motion by board member Wilston Hume. Do we have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by board member Eert. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? >> Okay. Policy 6067, sexual harassment student policy. First reading. So this uh this prohibits a school or district from refusing to permit any student to participate in programs based on race, color, creed, sex, national origin, marital status, political or religious

108belief, physical or mental condition, family, social or cultural background, sexual orientation, or gender identific identification. It also clarifies that a school or district can't provide a higher quality program or facility or event to one sex over the other. Um, which >> entitlement? >> It's what's that? >> Isn't it based on is it sexual harassment or Yeah, I guess it is sexual. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> Um, and then it also prohibits a school or a district from requiring uh or giving official authorization for or knowingly allowing males or females to use sex designated facilities in the presence of the opposite sex. So if if there were a unisex bathroom and it had two stalls, that doesn't work very well with with this policy. So, you know, we'd have to look at changing things like

109that. So, it's >> okay. >> Yep. >> Any questions? >> Okay. We'll take a motion. >> I move to approve policy 6067, sexual harassment student policy for first reading. >> Okay. Motion by board member Wilson Hume. Second. >> I'll second. Second by board member Metaf. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Okay. Policy 668, use of sex designated facilities for first reading. >> Uh this specifies that a male students not entitled to and may not access, use or benefit from a school or district athletic facility, program or event which is designated for females. So males cannot compete, participate with females. And the same is true vice versa. Um, and any exceptions to the programs, this is the one that I think you were getting at, Tai. Any exceptions to the programs, uh, which require activities

110association eligibility requirements, they have to obtain that eligibility approval by going through the the activities association uh, eligibility commission. >> He can put like in a girls basketball game, he can put a girls basketball team in a boys facility. >> So like Yeah. You mean like on a game night? Yes. So, >> yeah. >> But, but but but you're you're >> that's one where I would say you're temporarily designating this as locker room >> and but if your boys and your girls were playing at both at home the same night, we'd need to figure out something different. >> Well, that locker room you can put there's a door you can lock right in the middle and you put some on one side, some on the other. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, yep. >> Okay. Do

111we have any other questions? Okay. We'll take a motion. I move to approve policy 6068, use of sex designated facilities for first reading. >> Okay. Motion by board member Wilston. Do we have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by board member Metaf. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Okay. Policy 6069, student privacy and modesty for first reading. >> Okay. Um >> they hit on this stuff pretty hard, didn't they? >> They did. >> Yes. >> The last session. Yeah. And and literally every one of these almost every one of these says this is in response to recent legislation. >> Yeah. >> Meaning the last session. But so um uh a school can't require invite encourage to undress uh change clothing or otherwise be in a state of nudity unless single occupant facilities with

112floor to ceiling uh walls and a door are provided for students. And that door has to either be floor to ceiling or if it's a standard say six foot eight door you have to have wall above that door to the ceiling. Uh it's uh it's important because districts are required to have plans for how they would come into full compliance. I talked about that a little bit earlier. And our plan is literally um as we remodel, renovate, rebuild or build new buildings, we'll meet the current state code requirements regarding privacy and modesty. Um uh >> so it'd be as easy as where you have multiple showers, just putting up curtains around each shower. >> So you curtains Yeah, you so in code it does allow for curtains. They have to be floor to ceiling. Um,

113and the the part about that, I mean, I've spent a lot of time in locker rooms and and showers when I was in school, even if they were even even if they were um curtains. I mean, I remember rat tails. >> Oh, yeah. >> You know, and all. So, >> what's a rat tail? >> We don't you don't want Wade knows what I'm talking about. Time >> in the bruises. >> No, it's it's uh >> grow up in the 60s. Let me tell you about them. >> Pals. >> Oh, >> folded a special way and whipped and Yes. >> Oh, I was like, "What?" >> A little wet and they hurt even more. >> That's why we were all tougher now. >> Exactly. >> Yeah. Walking away without a welt is almost impossible when it's

114a rat deal. But anyway, um so um but yes, curtains are allowed, >> but but coming up with floor to ceiling curtains and then also ensuring that um that kind of behavior doesn't happen >> potentially puts staff at risk as well. >> And so I think for us um we don't have the facilities whether we used curtains or walls, but moving forward if we were to do remodels, we would look at we would do walls. >> Okay. Like a lot of the girls facilities have that already. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Any questions? >> Men just will not be build showers in locker rooms because they don't use them anyway. >> That's true. >> Saying, >> do we have any questions? >> Coach. >> Okay, we'll take a motion. >> Uh mot I make a motion

115to approve policy 6069, student privacy and modesty for first reading. Okay, we have a motion by board member Metaf. Do we have a second? >> Second by board member Wilston Hume. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Okay. Policy 670, mental health care. >> Okay. Um, this policy just ensures that mental health services provided within our schools um in the school setting that they're safe, ethical, and aligned with Utah law by defining the restricted services. um clarifying who's authorized to deliver those things, you know, as far as certification and lensure, things like that, and requiring informed parental consent to protect student welfare and family rights. >> Do we have any questions? >> We're already in compliance with all that, right? >> Um yes, it's just now it's codified that we have to have that. Uh

116so >> I move to approve policy 6070, mental health care, for first reading. >> Okay. I move a motion by board member Wilston. Do we have a second? >> Sure, I'll second. >> Okay. Second by board member Eert. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? All right. Moving on to board items. So, the first thing we had is the NSBA count, which we already kind of talked about. So, Don will make reservations and then give us the date of cancellation because that will happen before our next board meeting. But if you find out before August 20th you're not going to go, just email Don and let her know because that's the day the reservations open up. And we we're wanting to do first thing in the morning so we can get in the hotel

117attached to the conference center. All of us like with Dan instead of the rest of us in a >> I can't be special. >> No, we want to be with you. >> Sure. I know. >> It's team building. Okay. And then we have in here the spiritware wear. So, $150 limit per board member. Turn in your receipt and it's on the district web page. You go and select like a shirt jacket.

That's why we're saying 15 >> silver blue and gray. >> I have blue and gray. >> Yeah. >> So it's right here. helpful resources spirit shop. >> Okay. >> All right. >> So, 150. We were thinking 150 would give you a shirt and a jacket or >> something like that. >> Okay.

Any other board items? >> Board member Eert, do you have anything? I will not be at convocation. I am attending the Moon Lake Gathering on Friday. >> What's a Where are you going for Moonlight Gathering? >> Moon Lake. >> Oh, Moon Lake. >> It's a seminar for mystical things. Bigfoot UFOs. >> Oh, good. You'll have to tell us about it. >> Seriously? No, I I will actually be out there. >> I believe you. >> But will Bigfoot be there? Huh? Will Bigfoot be there? >> They're having I'll send you a picture of it. >> Okay. >> Um, we have our first football game Saturday.

Uh everything's going full boore with the activities. I actually stopped and watched I've watched basketball practice. Um the team's actually looking pretty good. I watched volleyball practice the other day. He He's got a lot of girls out. >> What's that there tomorrow? >> Wow. tomorrow. >> What time's that?

121>> 6:30. >> I'll be there. >> And uh, of course, I happened to s in football practice a couple times. >> Yeah. >> Just to bug him. So, >> okay. Well, good. >> So, um, yeah, things are going great. I'm >> I'd close practices >> so you couldn't get in. >> They they they tried to chase me off, but >> Trevor Lewis said, "No, no, let's go checkered." >> So, >> anyway, no, I'm just excited for school. >> How many football coaches did we pay? >> Six. >> Um there's a there's a list. Uh >> they were on the consent agenda today. So the assistant >> 12 coaches, but I wonder how many we pay. >> Hold on. I'll bring that up. >> I thought everyone that's on the consent agenda. >> I think we

122had two coaches. >> Okay. >> I think didn't on the consent agenda. >> A block of money and then it's up to the head coach. >> Not necessarily because you approve volunteers too. >> Okay. >> Decided to do it. 16k for assistant coaches at the discretion of the head coach >> and then then the head coach can divvy up how it >> Yeah. Here's your here's your your salary thing for that. So football you can have up to eight paid >> turn that into 16 and pay him half if you want. >> Yes. Yes. >> And that's really to set the budget for the limit we'll pay. >> Yeah. >> Fulltime job manager >> for me. Well, I know I'm going to go to him at the end because we haven't really talked to him

123yet about updates and he's >> sworn in yet, has he? >> No, because so he's just observing today. He doesn't want to wait until September. >> I get sworn in the next meeting. >> Yes. But Connor, do you have This is just a time like once we get you sworn in. Um, President Willer will go through like usually this is the time you'd give updates for Silver Settlement >> or what you're concerned with over there or what you want to bring up to us essentially message you on whatever's going on over there. >> Exactly. And usually President Ber will reach out before a board meeting and kind of ask you what questions he has or any updates. >> Got it. But yeah, so Connor was excited to come and experience today even though he's not

124sworn in. So we appreciate you being here. >> Yep. >> And not falling asleep during all >> tell Lucinda thanks for all the reminders to get >> us registered. >> It's kind of cool to be here and see how it all works. >> She knows I need it. >> Great. >> Hey Ray, do you have anything >> Ty? >> Uh yeah. So I was thinking on the like the data review we did today. Um, should we um I was thinking it'd be nice to see like how the data how were we doing against benchmarks or against goals. >> And so I don't know if we do that during the data review with the schools or if we have like Cindy and Shelly come and do a presentation so that we know if we're bending the

125curve >> or if we're green or if we're red. and maybe it's against like the benchmarks or the state average or against the goal or both >> so that we can kind of see if are we winning or losing and where do we need to >> how are we doing which way are we trending >> do you remember the longitudinal data that we shared uh before uh that kind of helped lead to what we're doing now >> was that the one with the curve or was that the one with the red and green >> it was the straight line that went down it was a it was a 10year plus longitude >> sorry trend line we were talking about bending it up and it was maybe other way and we wanted to go. >> So

126maybe do you think um would you like to see uh because you're talking about longitudinal data. Would you like to see us um bring that longitudinal data with the addition of last year's data so we can see where things are going? >> Yeah, some sort of visual so we can see >> that would go along with what I asked Flenders. Yeah, >> that would go on with what I asked Mrs. Flenders about our math scores and stuff like that >> of why. >> And then we can ask like her better questions. >> We're having a goal to improve by 3%. >> We're like, well, is 3% >> the right number, >> right? >> Do we >> are we behind? Are we good? Like >> just so we have a reference point. >> Okay, >> that's

127a good one. >> No, that that is good. when we when we met with leadership to talk about what data to bring the things that we talked about uh or what's going well, what are their strengths, what are their opportunities for growth or where are they struggling and what are you doing about that struggle? >> Um and so we we can we can uh try to add something like that. >> And that was captured in these slides. >> Yes. Okay. I was just thinking if we could see some sort of chart like that. >> And you're just talking benchmarks against ourselves, not against like the state or >> maybe both. >> Yeah, that's what I was >> maybe like how are we doing against our goals? Are >> are we did we achieve them or

128not? >> And then maybe how are we doing against state benchmarks or state averages or whatever the benchmark >> not every school, not every grade has beginning of year, middle of year, end of year benchmarks.
