001Yeah. All right. You ready? Call this meeting to order. Oh, yeah. Please stand. Oh, you know what? I might be able to find it right inside here. No, the high school I think still has it from Mayday. Oh, they still have it. Oh my goodness. No, it was a different kind of game. She'll be right. I don't We don't have one. Is it hard to digitally do one? I'll find one. I better make a note. The high school needs to give us our flag back. Yes. Or we should have a spare one somewhere. Get a big one. Lots of them. There we go. So, we get Oh, look at all those choices. Oh, I took Amazon. Like, that's pretty ridiculous. This show. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. It's It's there. Try this. We'll try this.
002There we go. There we go. All right. To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. For going the extra mile. All right. We get to start off our meeting with always the best thing recognition as a student volunteer. Um Hansen. So Jay, are you gonna Yeah, please. All right. Let's see. Hannah, could I have you come up with me and I'm gonna come around there. You can stay right. So, so each year the Puga Sound ESD, which serves both our King County and Pierce County, they have a regional art contest. And from that, we have entries from Pierce County uh that the Pierce County Commission that they they select from. And this year I'm happy to report
003that there were 50 entries. There's a couple of levels that you can earn awards with. The highest is the Pierce County Executive Award. And so that means that any student from any of our high schools in the 15 school districts as well as home school or private school uh or any other entity. So, it's many entities, many students that um that that can have this entry. And this year, uh I am happy to report all over Pierce County, the highest award goes to Hannah Hansen. [Applause] And again, without trying to put you too much of on spot, when I saw this, I thought this was a professional um uh you know, rendition that was just set on my table. And unbeknownst to me, this is actually what she submitted. And I was wondering if you
004would take a second and share a little bit what your thinking was of. Or else I can read it. I can read your You want me to read what you put down? Yeah. Okay, let's do it. not talk. So this art piece um depicts imprisonment within a system that is outwardly conceived to be beautiful. The hands represent the desire for freedom through their desperate calling motion. A beautiful prison is a two-dimensional piece that was created with alcohol-based markers and colored pens. So Hannah for receiving this highest award receives this beautiful plaque that states Chris County Executive Award Pound SD Regional High School Art Show Hannah Hansen 2025 as well as our award here. Bruce County Executive is presented to Hannah Hansen for your entry of beautiful prison in the 2025 PSCSD Regional High School Art
005Show uh signed April 25 by our Pierce County Executive Brian Millow and also from our Pierce County Arts Commission uh president. And so I wonder if we could have you stand in front of the school board right there. They could stand and we can get a picture. Let's Let's do this this way. Yeah. Let's have you And then we'll um we're going to need to maybe you guys should stand like where you normally would sit because otherwise you're blocking half the board. There we go. There we go. I'll just switch. That is much better. Get all the things. Awesome. All right. Great smiles, everyone. Fantastic. Great. And did you have any questions for Are you aspire to college? [Music] So, yes. And show more of your thinking. I'm gonna go to the University of Arizona.
006Oh, that's great. So, what inspired that piece of art? I kind of just want to draw a building because I don't really don't really draw buildings that much, but I knew I wanted to go into architecture, so I start. Well, you did a beautiful job. Congratulations. I'm going to send you home with some things here. Right. I'm going to go back and grab this box. I'm sharing the screen and it's not popping up. Um, send it to me real quick. Make it pop up. There you go. Congratulations. Send it to the web master, I guess. You are welcome to leave. You don't need to stay for the whole meeting. Thank you for coming. Congratulations. Good to see you. All the best. [Music] saw her at CC. She was already wow that just a gift, right?
007All right. Well, our student representatives are not here. Bailey is officially graduated. So, and with the year coming to a close, I don't know that we'll be seeing them, but um if we don't see them again, I just want to express my gratitude for all that they've done as students. Uh, I would consider uh Are there any changes or additions to the agenda, Cassie? Do we have any changes or We had no changes. All right. I would um consider a motion to uh Let's see. There's no consent. Oh, there's no consent to agenda. No consent agenda. I thought maybe I was missing. So, there's no consent agenda. So, but we're not changing the regular agenda. And now we're going on to hearings of individuals and groups and no one has signed up. So we're on
008to reports and presentations. Is Amy coming? I thought she was coming but Yeah, but we can go forward. Yeah, let's just go ahead and um if she makes it in, we'll come back circle back and then we'll go to um Sally for the high school science curriculum. Yeah, great. Well, I'm happy to report this year and as you know, those of you who worry may hit the corona um we had 127 graduates and that unbelievably uh puts us at 98.4% graduation rate. 98.4. So, is that No, it's close. It's very close. We close. Um when you get to 98 with that many students, it's about one. It's between one and two students. Sometimes we'll have someone that may leave us, but we're they're still on our record, which was the last time the case I
009think. I haven't added anything. So, um there I guess the the the bottom line is that um there were two students this time. And so if I might just say one student was residing with a relative within our district and attended part of 9th grade at our school. During that time they experienced significant attendance challenges. The student later relocated u to another instate area but did not reenroll in school and despite uh several attempts to contact the family and and uh listed she contacts we were unable to establish communication. Uh so this student was withdrawn in the spring of 2022. That's the student I was talking about. So basically, but the good news on that is that we did everything we could reaching out and trying to continue to um help them move toward graduation,
010which is just amazing thing. Student two, the student was living with a relative in our district and attended. Let's see. I'm sorry. I go back. Student was residing with a relative within our district until he part of uh let's see identify Oh, the second student was also living with the military district and attended ninth grade at our school. They withdraw in the fall of 2022 with plans to reenroll in an online program, but ultimately did not complete the enrollment process. Over the past few years, we maintained occasional contact with the student and their family, consistently offering support and options for reinrollment. Although though they have expressed verbal interest in returning, there's been a follow through and we're still hopeful that the student will re-engage with graduation alliance at some point before the age of 21.
011So still not giving up on the two students, but um those did count against our our graduation rates other we would have otherwise we would have had 100%. Awesome. Wanted to report that. Thank you. And we appreciate knowing the stories of those kids. All right, Sally. Having technical difficulty, Sally, where I'm not able to share my screen with or see the meeting. Well, you do have the PowerPoint and I'll just walk it that way. Unless unless if you need more time, we can have Jay go because his stuff would have been on my screen, too. So, we guys have everything printed. It's just the folks at home and Susan, of course, won't be able to get to see all our She's she's got it. She's got it. So, I would like to uh speak to
012um high school course materials for cyber security and wildlife biology. Um as you know that this is about reaching higher for academic success and it ties to um our strategic plan especially strategic objective the first bullet in our plan which is we will promote a culture that prioritizes academic success through rigorous curriculum and instruction. um we had the opport I'm going to talk a little bit about the process and then talk about a little bit about the presentation to um the IMC instructional materials committee. So when we adopt materials there's always a teacher team that comes together and they and uh my role is to put materials that are highly rated um before the team and then we go through a review process with those materials. Um and during that time we narrow the scope
013of materials we want to recommend to the IMC to see if um they would or share with the IMC and share the process that we use to evaluate those materials. Um so so we have the teacher team then that team presents uh first evaluates and presents those materials to the IMC and the role of the IMC instructional materials committee is to ensure that we follow the criteria which is outlined in uh board policy board procedure and then we would make our recommendation to IMC and then I am coming forward tonight to bring that recommendation forward to see The board will approve these materials. Sally, may I ask the question? Um, so these materials were reviewed by teachers and then they were put forward with recommendation from a teacher to you and you brought it to
014the instructional materials committee and it has not been in front of students prior to being in front of the instructional materials committee. These materials were not really available to pilot. Um, we did do this in a shorter timeline than we've done previous. Okay, they have not been piloted to students. Okay, thank you. So the instructional materials committee talked about the likelihood of impact and I'll speak a little bit of that. Um we looked at alignment. So we use the equip rubric which is recommended by the state science rubric that looks at the science materials to rate them and more of that information is in here and I will get to that. Um we also one of the courses the cyber security course is a CTE course which means it has to fit within the CTE
015framework. Um partnered with Bethl's program for CTE for the last 10 years. They've been using project lead the way materials. This is a course um that's within the project lead the way materials that does fit that framework. um course materials and course. Um so we looked at flexibility and differentiation components uh meaning can we differentiate the materials for students at different levels? Can we challenge our high kids with these materials and can we adapt them for kids who might for instance need a lower a different reading level. um know that with science these science materials um in project lead the way there are lots of options that really differentiate well in the wildlife biology materials it's more about teacher strategy um and what they may do to accommodate kids who might need especially um lower
016reading level um there's a lot of advancement in materials that we adopted they're high or not adopted that we're recommending that are high level rigor the text in particular We look at equitable access. So how can kids access materials? These will be uh both of them are digital platforms for learning. Um there are also supplemental materials that teachers are bringing into that also make it very hands-on and project focused which then gives different accesses for kids. So using UDL strategies um creating different learning opportunities with the way they present and teach the materials. the present pres presentation on differing viewpoints within the materials. So um for instance, we looked at different texts for wildlife, three different texts. Know that there's not a lot of texts out for wildlife biology um at the high school level.
017Um actually the piece the um what we're recommending came from one of the universities in the Northwest, Montana, University of Montana. Um, we eliminated a few of those textbooks because they were, I would say, very dry, just all facts, not a lot of We want it to be visually pleasing or inviting for kids. We want it to um represent um different um groups, different career paths, which are were all in the text that we picked. So, um so that also takes us back to considering formats. So we want we want to see graphs, we want to see headings, we want to see different formats to understanding materials, not just written text. And we saw that and then um basically for the pieces around um bias which are part of the equip rubric really we were
018just looking at um self-reflection, right? When we look at when we um look at scientific interpretations um was there any representation of of one lean a specific viewpoint there was not and we looked at the fields of conservation and biology and made sure that multiple roles were um uh I guess represented in the materials multiple roles in different career paths in um conservation biology and also we looked at the viewpoints around things like endangered species too. So um all seemed to be scientifically based. So we were really happy with that. Cyber security um we ensured that the curriculum showcased um um different career paths as well not just one leaning in one way one avenue. We looked at real world examples right to make sure that it's current with pictures and graphics how people are
019represented is very current. And then accessible language. A lot of times in the tech field, we had a lot of jargon when we have concepts presented and we wanted to make sure that that was not the case and it was easily understandable for students regardless of prior knowledge and background. So as our when we went through this, we asked why new course materials. Our biology materials I I won't remember the exact date. They're like 1990 materials that we have in our current biology classes. um this would update that biology but also give a more focus to the area in which our kids are growing up in as well as across the USA when you look at the decks and I would like to add that um it was wildlife was requested by the students it
020was a student request you know that we provide that to clients I think that's really cool too yes that that topic it kind of it it narrows the scope from just biology in general and I think it creates interest when we talk about wildlife when we talk about career paths for that. So, yes, Rhonda's correct. Um, without knowing, you know, specifically our content because we're waiting to decide on tonight. Um, we had over 90 kids sign up right away when they saw wildlife biology versus biology. Well, there is interest and we want to teach to kids interest. So, um, so why new courses and materials? We see that our SBA scores for science at 11th grade, we have 32% of our kids meeting science standards at proficient level three or higher. Um the state is
021now kind of changing how they present data and so in 2024 46% of students were at at level two or higher and they're calling that the foundational level. Um so there's also a growing demand for STEM career preparation in light of AI and other things especially around the cyber security course and um also the career preparation. This lens specifically to careers when we talk about wildlife biology um industry alignment we take took a look at that um doing some research around that. It's um in different research pieces, 60,000 projected science tech job openings will be seen across our country and specifically to our area in 2030. Um with that increase, rising cyber security threats and workforce demands in light of new technology that keeps happening and changing for our kids and for adults. And then
022of course specifically the interest in this area around environmental conservation career pathways and growing up in the Pacific Northwest. So student engagement we looked at that and career connections. Um there was a presentation by I should name our great teachers who did a lot of speaking at the INC. Um Randy Bushnell, uh first year teacher here teaching the wildlife biology course and of course Travis Collins um will be teaching the cyber security class and they both spoke and Randy also had a PowerPoint presentation which I'm sorry I did not include in there but went through her love and interest and how she wants to focus the class if if these materials were approved. Um, so career pathway development, there's definitely industry certifications for cyber security that could go along our within our cyber security class
023as this is a CTE class. Um, in our wildlife biology connect, um, Randy is already building connections to environmental agencies. She's very excited about that. Um, from um, tribal connections as well as fish and wildlife, um, Mount Reineer, those are all pieces that she mentioned. Um, it's definitely both both classes would be project based learning focused. So, lots of project work, hands-on learning. Um, standards alignment. We took a we looked at standards and academic rigor. Um, key standards that stood out when we did the research. You'll see listed in this in one of the slides. Mine are not numbered the same way yours are. So, I'm trying to So, you'll see the three key standards for each area. cyber security with the next generation science standard alignment and the computer science standard and of course
024wild biology is also specific [Music] to you and then you can share your screen if you want to do it that way. So I try saying ratings like that. The equip rubric and on the next slide slide eight shows our scoring but the equip rubric rating tool is used to assess the areas for both set of materials. And then um we also had community input opportunities. Materials were available for viewing. they could make an appointment, stop by digital. We had we still had laptops out there. People want we would get them signed on and let them look through all the materials. Um key selection that really brought us to where we are was a strong standards alignment. They like the multiple multimold multi multiple learning modalities. Say that three times. um the digital and physical
025resources um including the partnerships with agencies um and then diverse representation where we talk about careers and um different representation of digital tools. Um they had clear assessment tools for students. So there's online digital assessments and in the wildlife piece it actually scores all of it but the writing part for the teacher. So that's pretty amazing. She was pretty excited about that. So again, the equip rubric ratings on slide eight. This is the next generation. These are the three components. And underneath that is each rubric has a lot of detail that we had to look at. But in general, the next generation science standard design for these materials. The team rated three out of three. So the highest rating. um instructional supports, meaning when we talked about differentiation, project learning, we gave it a 2.5
026out of three. Um and um that was specific that the teacher is going to have to build in more project based pieces. So that was why that rating's a little lower. And then monitoring a student progress. Um it seemed like there were great pieces where kids got to reflect up front like what do you know and what are your interests? basically read a short section and then they write right away and then they get into the material in depth and then she can reflect back on their interests or their original thoughts about material. So um the cyber security again same same criteria we were looking at and you can see how that was rated. Um I did not put in the framework. We did review the CTE framework as well. So, but again good pre
027alignment again instructional supports was just a little bit lower and monitoring student progress particularly in um the cyber security and our project lead the way have multiple ways that kids can assess and show you I think I remember this being part of the support for that development. Yes, thank you. Yes. So project lead the way has a ton of professional development happens that he's already coming through 80 hours of professional development for this course he took I believe last summer so he was very excited to teach this course thank you Rhonda for remembering that so on page nine I think I spoke mo with mo to most of these points basically the steps in the selection process I already stated that but just summarize that one more time. And then we talked a little bit
028about student engagement. Uh felt that teachers felt that there was engaging learning strategies some of which I've spoken to. Definitely hands-on. Cyber security has a lot of lab labs and then hoping to engage students in fieldwork in the biology class. Definitely real world applications aligns nicely with our graduation pathway options. Um, technology integration is really important as we continue to move forward in a world that becomes more and more technologydriven. Um, career preparation. I think I spoke to some of these. Um, we're hoping for some maybe internship opportunities. One of the teachers talked about that. Um, and of course possibly local workforce connections and then um, partnerships, definitely tribal partnerships and conservation organizations as well. So on that I did I wanted to also mention that uh legislation has been put forward and I think
029it passed that our students will be required to have a computer science uh credit and this fulfills that credit. Correct. So it's really important that we get that. Yes. So, um I included in your packet uh the purpose of this report and making a recommendation from the instructional materials committee to the Eagleville school board to consider the adoption of the cyber security uh materials from project lead the way and the in introduction to wildlife management and conservation North America published by Great River Learning. Um and you will see it uh we have already paid for the project lead the way materials because they come with all the other courses that we are currently teaching. So it's not an increased cost but we will need to pay for the wildlife management uh digital materials and that
030cost of per 90 seats is $4,860. That does include professional development. Um note that when we looked at other places some professional development would have been another $1,000. that's included in this price. They actually bargain them down from $77 a kid to 56. So that was pretty good. Um so we are asking that we consider um the approval of these materials for the 2526 school year for 10th through 12th grade students. Thank you Sally. appreciate that work and we will be um considering that underneath business which is up uh right after Jay gives us an update on track. Yeah, if we could look like we got the field up there. Okay. Well, just to review, so last year our voters approved a capital projects levy, a six-year levy, which has allowed us to address a
031long overdue replacement of a track in our field. So, as you know, we've been working very hard on this for a number of months um months into a year or a year even. And so after an awful lot of work on a lot of people's part and a lot of consideration, we now have our final product um for what this um levy will pay for. We allocate about $3.5 million for this. And so if you if you look up here, uh if you were at the bottom looking up and you see I'm so sorry. That's okay. back on me. My bad. There you go. There you go. Then uh we would be seeing in the stands at the bottom where it says field rendering looking up. So you'll see starting in the center of the
032field, we will have EC for Eville cruisers and this uh will be blue with a white outline which looks very good with our end zone. It'll say all caps Eatenville on the north end and cruisers on the south end. You'll also notice that we have black around the outside. Uh those are for the soccer boundaries. Uh and then we we need um where the goalpost sits the goal box. And you can hardly see it on purpose. That's gray, but that's a necessary thing so we can make sure that we know when there are kicks um penalty kicks and such that they're there will be placed in the in the correct place. And so um as you can see we will have um gray there and then the black box the for the outer part which
033is where the free kick happens. Um and then we will have yellow goalpost. We're um going to have the extended tall goalpost so that we can see a little that referees can see a little easier if it was actually it was good or not. Um, and we will also have play clocks at the end of each end zone so that the quarterback and the field managers can make sure that they have the right amount of time and can see when they need to get the playoff. We will include in this, although I don't have a picture of it right now, a scoreboard and um the scoreboard will um we are working on a sponsor for that. I hesitate to say that right now because nothing has been finalized, but stay tuned on that one. Um,
034but that'll allow us to have a new and updated scoreboard. For the most part, that will be down by where the shop is on that side of the tennis courts. So, that will be placed there. Um, so that is our field. Any questions on the field portion of our project? It's going to be the track. Yeah, you mentioned the track color. Yeah. maybe. So, you can also see how it's light green, dark green. That makes it really easy for you know to know kind of where you're at on the field, you know, as you think of it on first down being 10 yards. That's something else I wanted to point out. So, the track around the outside will be black. So, that's going to look really, really great with what we selected for our boundaries.
035Um, yeah. So, that's that's pretty much the field. Can you questions or comments on the I thought we had play or the terracotta terracotta. We did originally and then what happened was when the group met and they really wanted to I should say we uh really wanted to get some color in the end zone. And so when you saw the blue and white and then we you know when you consider black around the the the you know soccer um outline then black just looked so much better and so we we checked in to see if there was an additional cost there was not and so then when we looked at the whole thing it actually looked better so we actually did was good memory. Yeah, I just I didn't I thought there was like a
036heat like the heat absorbed. We did talk about that and so what they that was a question. What we found out after all was that if you are in Texas or in California, Arizona and such you would not if you can try to avoid black tracks. But up here we don't have too many when when track season is on. What we found out was after all that it's not it doesn't heat up terribly. Yeah. So should be a beautiful beautiful field very similar the turf quality to that of the University of Washington. So as you know we also have um this maybe maybe we can go next to the Paul here. So fun. Yep. Great. So, one of the one of the amazing things that's happened and I know some of you may this is
037that we have been offered um this alignion uh statue that is owned by the Mount Reineer Scenic Railroad located in Mineral, Washington. And so, at no cost, they've offered that to us. And so we've been going to work making plans to see how we might be able to bring that down here. The thought at this point would be uh if you know some if perhaps you know of some football teams where when they come out on the field first thing they do is they touch something. It's like it's like their kind of luck thing. You know it could be a a rock in one place or it could be something else in another. So the thought is is that we would place this where our football players come out or anybody from the locker field
038for that locker room for that matter and come out and perhaps touch the ax and as they as they come out to kind of get excited what not. So it would be facing our stadium um so the stadium can see it but but also be kind of visible and beware the students could come out student athletes come out touch that. So, um, we're just working to make that, um, the correct time, but we've been lining up cranes and some other things. I appreciate Cassie work on that. So, that's going to be I think it's going to be an amazing stadium when we're all said and done. Just a place where you This guy's like 16 feet tall. He's big. He's big. And the other thing about these Paul Bunyions, you know, just the trolls that
039people travel around, people also travel around to find these Paul Bunions throughout the United States. So, he's a collector and also something that people travel to see. So, it's kind of We'll also keep cameras on it so we keep it safe and sound as well. And and uh yeah, so that's pretty amazing. Um, so while we don't have a a huge rendering of the actual stadium, could you pull up the the stadium? No, we weren't sharing that. Just a picture of the forks, right? I did forget to pull that up. We talked about it and I That's okay. I'll send it to Well, I'll I'll start talking while you while we bring that up. So, you have before you uh just the general plan to go on let you know that we have we have
040ordered that. It's on its way. Um, and it takes it takes six to eight months to get, but we but we are ordering it ahead of time. Uh, and that is a stadium that was not included in our package for our levies. But thanks to a lot of work of a lot of people including Christa Hinkync and others and our legislators and and going down to legislator such that we we we had allocated $3.5 million to the track and field and we're almost going to match that for a day. So that's not local monies that's monies outside that are being brought in. So I hope our public is excited about that part. And that will seat approximately, 1222 students. So, this will allow us now uh this to have a roof. Okay. A back a
041little bit side um and on on the on the stadium where the seating is, but then siding along the side. So, it be finished. It will not be bleachers. It'll actually be a beautiful stadium and we'll be better protected. Um and so that will be um we have we have the demolition. We have everything from the city that we we can for permitting and such. So that's everything is already city. Yeah. It's now just a matter of um we're waiting for the final approval from the recreation and conservation office, the RC office and second we get that then we'll start turning round. It just is a process but we've been pushing along as fast as we could. So we'll keep you updated on the timeline. Need to along with that we'll also have the the
042restrooms. We will have at this point four individual restrooms that will be uh that will be new and will be actually brought in with a crane as well and be dropped down and will be instantly ready for use. It's very similar at the visitor center. Um if you want to go see what that is and um so we'll be coordinating all of these efforts according to when we actually get final approval. Um so we can it just uh make it be like clockwork and and and seamless. Um the stadium colors. Yeah. So our stadium colors will be we will have colors in terms of the risers will be blue. Um we'll have we'll have two different colors of blue. Um, and then, uh, this the the actual press box will be a gray with white
043trim around it. So, again, it's going to be it's going to be really, you know, beautiful. Um, you know, as well as very durable. Uh, this is not our exact stadium, but it's very similar to what our stadium will be. Um just not that not yellow uh what you see there but this is forks and so it would be very similar box. Yeah. Okay. I think that's all the updates for the studio at this point and we'll just give you regular updates and especially as things start moving along quickly when we when we get that final approval. Thank you. Thanks. Any questions for Jay about anything that's going on with the track field stadium? Okay. All right. So, we're gonna move on to new business. I would consider approval of the high school science curriculum.
044All in favor? I um I hear any opposing none. And that's for both science curriculums, correct? Okay. All right. Thank you. And then approval of updated policy 6970. Any Did everybody have a chance to read? Okay. Really simple. Um and so I would consider a motion to approve 6970 that sorry. All right. Any discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? Okay, motion carries. Superintendent comments. Well, as always, there's just a lot of great things that are happening. Um, and we're just so grateful for our dedicated staff and the and supportive community as we are moving things forward. Um always trying to align um everything we do, all decisions to the end of of our strategic plan uh particularly student development and student student academic success and student development or student wellness, student student experience. And so
045one of the things I wanted to point out was that um although nothing official yet because it's not official yet um we are we are seeing incredible grant gains. I want to commend Sally and her team for a very successful adoption of our our magnetic curriculum, our ELA curriculum at elementary level as well as the efforts in both uh English language language arts as well as math. So we were recently recognized um in the entire Pacific Northwest as one of just a few school districts that um that included California, Oregon, and Washington. So that was a regional meeting and I don't Yeah. Wow. And that was and so we were um we were honored uh to receive uh and I'll pass this over so you can see it in just a second that the school
046that uh we're one of the school districts that had at least one school and that'll be mystery at this point because we we still have some scores coming in and we'll see if it's one or more schools but we know we'll unveil that as we know and that'll be something to look forward to. um at least one school where students averaged uh 40 30 to 49 minutes of of a lesson or m or uh usage of the curriculum per week with a pass rate of 70% or higher. So what that really means is that their the trajectory to to stay to meet their stretch goals and to beyond grade level or above um has it's it's it's in place that our students are now moving up after CO and such. They are moving forward and
047they are not only moving forward but they're sometimes at rates higher than than than would be expected. Yeah. And so we received uh that recognition both for math as well as for ELA. And so I'll pass that over. So uh stay tuned. There'll be more of these coming forward, I'm sure. Um and we'll let you know the official scores once they come out this summer. Cool. Yeah. And then just to point out that uh Edenville is a special place with a lot of a lot of a lot of people who are just excellent and outstanding in their field. And so um on on June 7th, one of our students that that just um graduated, Bodie Turner, um was featured on the Real Life magazine. Uh he's perhaps the best archer in the world right now.
048um and he's 18 and so um he's won what's called the prestigious Vegas shoot twice in the last four years including this year and uh will immediately start a career as professional archer and and um I think what's even more remarkable about that is that two things one is that he carries a GPA unbelievably of of 3.76 in addition to be in all over the world competing and uh and then the second part is that he regularly shares his expertise with young students uh interested in archery. So he comes down to Inville Middle School for instance and works with Eric Danielson who has introduced adapt adaptive adaptive archery classes to students. And um so you've not only got one of the greatest in the world, but you also have um one of the greatest in
049the world off you know when he's not with his bull. And so I just wanted to point that out that um you know we are just so proud of our students and their excellence and for the support that they get as they realize their dreams and there's another example of that. I think that was everything tonight. Thank you. Okay. Nothing but this is very cool. I just want to read it then picture. Okay. Uh, I just want to say thank you for all the hard work and um the curriculum adoption and um I am excited for that. I mean we're in a perfect place to adopt wildlife curriculum and cyber security. I mean being at the mountains and then the neighbor of Seattle and you know all the cyber jobs and everything there. So, I
050think we're really working at setting our kids up for the, you know, the future that surrounds them, you know, locally and to our neighbors. So, I think we're going to be ahead of the game. So, I appreciate that and um just congratulations to all our graduates last weekend and uh just that was an awesome experience. Um it's it's so amazing to see your past students walk across the stage and uh it just to just witness their growth over the years. And um and a one thing I've been going through um a placement with a a elderly woman into assisted care and actually one of her caretakers is one of my past students and that was really just awesome. So just what our students are doing is amazing thing. So um that was that was really
051nice walking in and I actually left her this evening and his care. So that was awesome. But um anyways, yeah, just uh we're doing great things and I'm proud of our district. I too enjoyed um high school graduation. Um it always goes so well and the students um although they're extremely excited and and fun, they're still very orderly and do things in the right fashion that they should be and things go really really well. And then I have the privilege of being at 8th grade graduation at Columbia and then last night kindergarten graduation. We had 21 kindergarters. Wow. So that was one of our biggest classes and they um their presentation was was fun and exciting. And what was always fun for me is when I go to a kindergarten graduation, I try to sit
052near or behind someone who has a younger child because they have been wellversed in all that their older sibling has been learning the songs and the motions and to watch them. This little boy last night was incredible. He was so funny and so much fun. and I I um spoke with his parents afterwards and they really appreciated that he was recognized for something other than mischievousness. So, it's just always I love doing that. Every year I try to find a spot where I can find that younger sibling and watch them and see how they perform the different motions and songs, you know, and stuff that the kindergarten was doing and to see how um how appreciative the parents were last night. I felt that they really appreciated all that was done for their their children.
053So, um, we're doing a lot of things right and those are the things that aren't necessarily marked in grades or attendance, but they're they're noticeable. Very well said, Paul. So true. There is so much good going on in our families and our schools and our kids. I'm just really proud proud and honored to serve in this position. Um, the other thing that I could I agree with everything you said about graduations and all those great things, but the other thing I've noticed this last couple of weeks is how much our community has stepped up and supporting in so many ways. Um, the foundation is uh raised over $90,000 for our stadium so far in their seat sponsorship. Um, and I'm certain that that number will continue to increase before that fundraiser is done. Um Sarah
054Arian, who helped chair the community day event, presented to the Eatenville Town Council uh to ask that we might be able to have a cooperative agreement between Eatenville Business Association, Eatenville School District, and the town. And they had nothing but praise about the great things that had happened on Mayday. So, thank you to Jay and to all of the community that came together in that committee. Um it was it was really a great event and the town council recognized that and I appreciate that as well. Um right now our district office staff is working double time. These two women are just exhausted I'm sure by all the hard work as well as Brandon and Christa and Lindsay. So thank you to all that you're doing at the end of the year and teachers are hanging
055in there strong. We sure appreciate all of you. I'm really looking forward to our reflection on our SIP plans. So, at the beginning of the year, we uh the principles came to us and said, "These are the things that we need to work on." We had a little check-in and at the end of the year, um end of this month or next month, I think we're in time for end of this month. Okay. End of this month, they're going to come back and say, "This was our goal and this is where we are now and this is what we're going to work on." So, I'm really excited um and grateful for their vulnerability and willingness to come and share that with us. Um, and then I wanted to thank Ohhot Mutual because I believe that
056this is the third article that's related to students that um, they've had in there in the last I don't know three or four months. So, I'm very grateful that they give us so not us, but our community and our students so much focus. It really says a lot about them and and all they do for our community. All right, with that, I'm sure I'm missing lots of good stuff, but Daniel, thanks for being here. Of course. appreciate you and we'll call this meeting to close at 7:52. You guys should always just ask me afterwards and I'll just be like you guys. Did you want to add that again? Do we need to sign anything today? No, cuz we didn't um Yeah, the need that the sign for the curriculum. We didn't do minutes. We just
057needed to prove our curriculum. That was the only thing. Okay. Otherwise, it was just that time. Yeah, this is super exciting. Wow. Thank you, Daniel. I don't know what I can think of is that going to that from your computer I think was not mistake.
