Superintendent should provide options and alternatives to the board which include the strengths and weaknesses of the options.

009We're at 334,000. debt service fund. We are 283,000 $175,000 $27,000 questions financials. >> We just bought a bus or two, did we not? >> Yeah. Over the last couple years, we boughten a couple. Um, we still haven't received We'll receive that in August. Um, that's in the year depreciation. I'll begin talking to you guys again about buses in December. >> Thank you. So, moving on to reports, if you're okay with that, um, I'm excited just to give you kind of a update on where we're at with our district staffing updates. Um, so welcome to the school year. I didn't put new faces and new and I'm sorry, same faces and new places. These are all just uh new folks to our district. So, uh, Tavis Grittington, um, the middle school and high school athletic director.
010Excited to bring Tavis on. The only change you'll see really with that is he's going to live in two different places this year. So, um, he'll be a couple days at the middle school and a few days, probably a few more days at the high school. He'll live still a little bit more at the high school and at the middle school, but, um, his position will have an office in both locations doing middle school and high school athletics. Um, we made that adjustment, um, with this new hire. So, he'll kind of live in both areas. Uh, again, the roles, responsibilities, and duties won't change. Still be heavily involved in all things athletics and have an assistant principal support role in that. elementary school. Uh we have Katie Brown who uh we're excited we ha now
011have a full-time elementary school counselor um with the work that we're doing with PBIS, MTSS, PBI, uh all the pieces, SEAL, uh we've that's been a real need for our district and so we actually have a certified counselor out at our elementary school. So we're excited uh to get that going this year. Samantha Swift be our new third grade teacher. the middle school. Larry Esters will be uh working at the middle school evening custodial support. Jacqueline Garcia uh is a pair educator now will be working in the middle school. Kristen Hall is our new STEM teacher. This is the same program we began just several years ago. Enrichment program for middle school students. She'll be taking that over. We had kind of a some folks move around so she soon that position is brand new.
012High school. Um Matt Johnson, we have a new CTE business teacher. Um and then Deborah Revard will be providing uh PAR educator support at our high school. So those are all new folks to the team this year. Brand new faces to our district and we're excited. We had a great hiring year. I'm excited about it. Keep bringing on quality folks. Excited. So in the newsletter you'll see a little blurb uh from our new folks introducing themselves to our community. >> I have a question. >> Yeah. >> Is Matt Johnson is he gonna take over the also >> um not 100% sure on that one. I I don't want to say yes or no because I don't know if we're 100% sure. >> I believe he's generally taking over primarily quite a few of uh Mrs.
013on that one, but I know there was even conversation about things like yearbook and some other some of those other specifics that I'm not 100% on. >> Do you know for sure, Kev? and my conversations with him this week. He's planning on we talked about some of the big events that FA does and um how they've earned money and things over the past and doing the senior citizen lunchon. So, I think he's on board to do it. >> I would assume being that business spot he would be doing that, but I just wanted to know 100% for sure, right? >> I promise you one thing or the other. >> So, okay. Any other questions? I'm sure they'll let you know. >> I'll send you an email. >> Okay. U moving on to next reports. Um
014district levy timeline. Again, this is all justformational. Uh this is not pro, yes, no, any of that. We just cover the information here. Um but I just want to bring this back to your attention because believe it or not, it's going to be here before you know it. That was my attempt at a coyote and back to the future uh logo there. Um, so, um, reminder that our current levies, we have an EPO, we used to call that, um, shoot, now I just lost that. What do we used to call that? >> M. M. Thank you. >> Uh, four-year levy. Um, and our technology levy. Uh, they were passed um, and you see they ran from January 2023 through December of 26. So, if we maintain our regular cadence of passing those, uh, we would
015look at going I'm going to go all the way down to number four at the bottom, uh, which would be a certification election of February of this upcoming spring with the election date being February 10th. I'm moving backwards on this this spring. That being said, if we were to do that and remain that standard cadence, um, we would need to have a resolution date um, which is due December 12th. So it would be that November board meeting. So it's going to come up before we know it. That's why I kind of want to bring this to your attention saying we're not can't lose sight of that. Um so I will um ending board approval be bringing some um some pieces of uh paperwork for us to move forward on our resolution for upcoming levy. So
016this is going to be a levy year. Obviously, you know, you see out in our community and across our state how critically important these are to funding staff positions, people's jobs, and things like that. It's it's no longer just kind of a hey, it's nice to have these. They are critically important to the infrastructure of our district. So, um just wanted to bring that back to your attention. Questions on that? Okay. Not hear anything. Just wanted to bring that remind you of that. All right. Now is the time where we're going to move to kind of our board workshop. At our last meeting, we discussed we would add this to this meeting, kind of have a little bit longer meeting um and really work through our yearly workshop agenda. So, um just as a highlight
017number one for you, I'm going to review. You guys see our operating principles meeting in, meeting out. We'll quickly review those. We do not need to do the OPMA training on there. You see, I cross it out because we've all gone through that. There's nothing we need to do to reertify on that. Um, following that, I'm going to bring some data back to you because this is really where we kind of start setting goals. I'll give you some big picture data. Um, I'll talk a little about the strate strategic plan. And really, this is your role and your opportunity to help me set direction. The board, you guys give me direction. um I'm at your um discretion on how we go about and where we go. So this is your opportunity to kind of guide
018me in that and then we'll review some important dates as we finish up the year. So this is kind of questions on that. All right, that being said, uh board operating principles reminder that these outline the philosophy of how we cooperate and behave. Uh we do these yearly and we agree by these principles. You can see the nine criteria that we review and discuss over the years. These are what we just did with our board operating principal review. These are parts of that and we review parts of these across the year. Um I always give you an opportunity if you want any additional input or would like to make adjustments. Now would be the time to do that. Once we do that and we agree to that, you will approve these in the new business
019and you'll sign it as part of your work. So, any questions, suggestions, additions, subtractions, or do you think they've been working just fine for us? Would like to continue with them as they are? >> My vote would be they've been working just fine and we don't need to make any changes. >> I agree. Okay, that being said, I'll move on. So, we've finished that part. Now, we're going to talk about uh the data review. This is in preparation to the board guiding me in terms of what tasks or initiatives we want to take on the year. So I want to start with this because I always find this interesting. I did this several years ago when we did a board workshop enrollment uh study session and I want to bring this back for you to
020look at really what is uh almost you see a 25-y year trend uh for our district and you look at enrollment um all the way back to 8 98.99 and you can see where our student um enrollment was. You can kind of see where we're at at that time when I was talking to you about this. We were down here. We kind of hit that threshold down here. I kind of told you the following that year. Interesting enough, this is that COVID year. We had that continued low number. Part of this I will tell you this is great. We're rebounding. Uh we are rebounding and you can see we're slowly working it out. But part of this inflation here, I don't want to lose sight of that is when we added TK as well too.
021So that certainly helped with it. But you can still see we're headed in a positive direction here. So that was a new class of TK of Now keep in mind TK we're we're collecting about 16 FTE right now. So we're still up and we're heading and in a positive direction but just wanted you to look at that. So questions looking at enrollment not hearing any. I'll keep moving. Um really I want to uh the big picture is uh the data I want to show you. Each month I bring our administrators in here and we talk about a lot of formative data and it's not very often that I talk to you about summitive data and so I just kind of wanted to give you a quick look at where we're at with kind of some
022end of the year numbers. Also I want to reiterate why we want to look at the formative numbers. Um, if you're looking at some big picture numbers, you can go right on the OSPI website and find our data on there. Um, you can see that we're looking at student attendance. 74% of our students would be categorized as students that attend school regularly. They're not excessively truent. So, we have a little over one in four that you would consider to be excessively truent. um we have an 81% uh graduation rate and that's not just graduation rate but that's that it completes it in four years. Okay so graduation rate is beyond that but this would be the continuous in four years graduates at 81%. And then if you want to look at the smarter balance, these
023would be the numbers that uh that we would get from our ELA math. And I composed an entire district number for you. So it's not done by building, but these would be students that have the foundational skills necessary to support that grade level expectations. Um in ELA, you see we're achieving at 62%, math at 57%, science at 50%. You see these numbers all the time when we bring formative numbers to you, but this is that end of the year piece. The piece I wanted to show you though is if you look at that um the numbers that we have right now are still spring of 24, right? So, as we talk about setting goals for the year and I continue to talk to the board about it's really important to look at those formative numbers
024because what we do with those here we sit at the beginning of the school year and we still don't have our numbers from last year, you know. So, it's hard to plan for prepare and predict what those will look like because we're still waiting for our OSPI numbers. So that's why it's critically important for us to continue to expand on the formative measures that teachers have at their hands because we can't wait for these things to get those those big summitive numbers. >> Questions on that? >> No different than the Wasel is it? >> It's the same. It's just a new name. >> It takes a long time to >> Yeah, they'll come out eventually and they'll put press releases out on that. But I mean that's why it's so critically important, you know, and
025I don't bank a whole lot because here we're trying to plan. I mean, we had our first day of staff professional development stuff already this morning. We still don't have our numbers from last spring. So, you can't wait for that stuff. Um, so it's just another plug for why we need to continue to invest in real time formative data. Questions. Okay. So I'm going to take uh what from a data review and jump into the strategic plan. So our strategic plan uh very pleased and happy with you've seen you have uh one uh in front of you and I'm still again very proud and pleased that we strategic plan on one sheet of paper front and back talk about our plan is on one side um and our promises on one the other side. Um,
026this past year and continuing this year, I talked with our staff even this morning. Uh, you've heard me talk to you about parent squared in the past and in there, you'll see highlighted some things that we're already working on that we'll continue to move forward this year. In that communication plan, you'll see we've talked about completing the transition plan to unify our district communications. So, we've begun talking about what this looks like on our website, including central office. Uh it would be all delays, closures, transportation routes, uh building uh building classroom all the way down to teachers messaging. Uh we did some trainings on that today. We still have a ways to go, but we're just starting that initial implementation all the way through athletics, parent community communications. We're unifying it under one umbrella called
027parent square. Um I've talked to you already about its ability to translate to parents native languages, which is a bonus for us. removing that uh that stumbling block sometimes for our community and families and it gives them one place to go to. Um so that's the work we're going to continue in there. Um social emotional learning uh we're continuing to utilize the latest in our behav behavioral restorative practices. This is both with you've heard character strong. We'll continue that. But even more so, we're really continuing to get into this tier one and tier two with PBIS supports of our district and building teams. This year, you're going to see us transitioning, moving from tier one and moving into some tier 2 targeted supports on that. Just takes time to build these pieces. So, you'll see
028us continuing to work and move through those pieces. The last piece on student achievement, we're continue to maintain a focus on uh learning by develop guaranteed and viable core. That's your all kids get things, right? Um, and we'll continue to work on some pieces through academics that we're going to start pushing with our cycles of inquiry and begin talking with our staff about some of those pieces. There's stuff they've done before already with um with skills, but that'll continue to be an emphasis. I told the staff, sorry, I want to sound like a broken record, but we know it works and we're going to keep after it stubbornly. We're not going to change and go try something new um because we're getting the results that we need. we just need to continue to do at
029it. Uh we need to keep doing it. So questions on that. So when we move to that, I've talked to you about kind of what we're working on. Then the last part would be to set um goals for the superintendent. I've talked to you a little bit about one of those things we are we have been working on uh communication. We've talked about the curriculum seal. In there you'll see things there on student achievement, fiscal, legal, or facility accountability. This is a chance for the board to say, "Hey, Todd, you know, I see uh we've been working on this to direct me. I'd like to see us take some steps and move in a direction and and make sure we address some things within our strategic plan, but that's really your role is to direct
030me, and this is your opportunity to to do so." >> Mr. Ally, do you have anything to add? I think go right along with what we talked about this morning as a staff and we've been working towards >> this is your opportunity to change the course of our district. >> I'm good with it. It's all good. Okay. Anything from the board? Anything you see on there you'd like to address or make sure? Um, >> I think that passing the technology levy should be squarely one of your goals. I know it's not a goal that you totally control, but you do have some influence as do we. It will certainly be a major milestone we'll have to look at this year. >> Add Haley, do you agree? >> I agree. I'm just subjectivity of it. >>
031Facility pieces too that we need to chip away at. >> Um there is some things in there. If you look down into the fiscal legal, we do have some things on facility pieces talking about. I have talked to the board in the past about the water supply underneath the middle school. Really, um having to tell you some point we've got to do something about those high school bleachers uh and some of those other pieces. But yeah, there are some things we need to certainly address. So >> what's the latest cost estimate for the bleacher job? three years ago um to completely replace and and both sides. So, if we do it all at once, it was uh a little over right around $100,000 or a little over. >> That's not the bones in the frame.
032That's just >> No, that's just the new seats. So, basically, you're using the s the still the same frame. You're sliding those out and you're sliding new ones in. You can't just simply take them off. You have to take one out and they literally all slide out. So for instance, they come out one direction. If you need seat 20 out, you got to take out seats one through 19, slide it out to get to seat 20 and put it back in and do that. The problem with that is um the new seats they make, they promise us and tell us will last much longer because they're made of a new material that won't chip and break anymore. They don't line up with the other ones. The and we we actually brought in a sample one.
033So Lily, you'll be sitting kind of cockeyed if you don't just fix them all on that row. We've talked about ideas if if we want to like limit that and maybe only do like half at a time. Um, so cut it in half and do like one side of the bleachers or even like sections at a time and use the rest as like boneyard parts for that, the ones that are still good. So, we have options for looking at that, but to do a complete overhaul and just like start over, which is why I want to get the price to see what it would cost. Three years ago was $100,000. >> I think that should be one of the items. And I think we should do it all at the same time. >> The bleachers
034are saying like both sides. Okay. thoughts from anyone else has doubled in the last three years and that would be different. >> I would obviously any any any uh purchase like that would have to come before the board based on the price point. So, um, if the board is, uh, would like me to look at those capital projects and price those out and get some prices on those, I could certainly come back to you this year with some numbers. >> All quiet down there. What's going on? >> Why didn't you speak? >> Yeah. >> Well, it's your turn. Uh I would go back to the the chart for the percentages. >> Want me to go back to those? >> Yeah. just from your perspective and communications just >> this is a point in time this
035and as far as goals just which ones on there are you proud of which ones as far as trends which way are we heading and uh as far as I think this is the core of what we're doing >> in our in our district and which one of these do we feel like are areas of improvement. Um, I think no matter where we're at, we're always going to focus on those bottom three. And, you know, we are a learning organization, right? So, I don't know if I could ever put a number there in front of you. If we had 95, I'd say we're still five off, right? You know, so, um, you know, that comes with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, you know, and we'll continue to work at that. I think we're
036going to see I'm pleased obviously, you know, with the work that we've been doing. We're seeing increments through that. I'm hoping we continue to see that play out. Even if I use things like OSPI being identified for some of those uh schools of distinction, I believe we're going to continue to see those go up. Um I'd like to tell you we're going to get to 100% one of these days, but uh that's tough. Um that's just being real, but we don't want to ever settle for anything less. Um but I think uh you're always going to target those pieces. Um Ela, math, and science. Um, we've had some initial conversations on attendance on those pieces. Um, that's such an interesting piece because it's so different based on what building you're at and how how you
037begin attacking those pieces. Um, I think obviously if you improve attendance, you automatically approve the rest of those pieces will naturally go up. I think there's other things we can continue to do. I think your graduation rate is a result of all the above. So, I would never focus on graduation rates. I'm going to focus on the learning that's happening and the rest kind of takes care of itself. So, um, the attendance piece, there's some things we're we're working on right now with some of the behavioral, social, emotional pieces we got going on. Um, you're going to continue to see us emphasize we work into those tier one and tier two pieces to continue to push the academics. That's why we talked to you about academics month in and month out about those pieces on
038there. So, we're slowly working on strategies to begin targeting tier one and tier two pieces. Um, I don't ever focus on that and I set goals on that because like everything, it's a summitative piece. I think that's a result of the work that you'll see us do and those things will play out. Um, it's hard to set goals for those, as you heard me say, things that are often a year plus out and you still don't have that information. If we want to set some goals on some things, um, I'm all for that. We certainly look at some of those formative measures that we look at because those are real and timely. We could look at things doing with student groups and students we're intervening with and things like that. I would be in favor
039of looking at measures that because those are things we are timely and we have control over. >> Yeah, I'm just looking at the bullet point here on student achievement. Anything that would do with, you know, preparing graduates with knowledge and skills necessary to compete in the global workforce. So, whatever we can do going forward as far as the goal >> obviously would be associated with this, but where we've been trying to work since co to climb out of that hole. So >> whatever you think as far as just as we can continue to improve in this area. >> Okay. >> Um >> feel is is measurable and >> we'll work on some academic pieces, continue to add some of those pieces to it that will always continue to be in front of us. I don't
040I think you're right with that. I mean that is our business. We are we are a learning organization and you know we're we're trying to support that. So we won't ever lose sight of that, but um continue to put some of those measures in front of us. Appreciate that. So I'm hearing a little things on capital projects and making sure we bring the academics back into I don't say back. We had some, but we want to continue to make an emphasis on those. This is what we said years ago when I said we're going to try and make things as clear as we can and put some real targets and numbers to these pieces. We're continuing down that road. >> So, >> I think in the area of communication, you know, Parent Square is is
041a good step forward. It'll be interesting to see how that gets adopted and we'll adapt to that change, but I think that's >> as far as the commun communication realm, I think that's a great step forward for our district. So, I'm excited to see how that changes just communication across the district. >> I'm hoping it'll be nice for a community to have a single source for that. Uh, I certainly I mean it'll have its complications. I mean these two could probably sit here and tell you some things. We're already starting to work. We're at the very beginning stage that I mean sure Kevin could tell you some things with athletics that you know are going to be different and tough and dealing with some of those extracurricular pieces, but we'll get there. Um, sure you
042probably heard some things today in the building, right? I mean, it's >> I don't even know if I'm gonna have to use it. >> Uh, so >> no, I I'm excited for it because dojo was >> it's just I don't care for it. So, we'll work through those pieces. We're right at that real rolling it out and it's ugly and and we'll work through it. >> I think it's got some great tools there for communicating with our Hispanic families and being able to do different languages and send those things out. I think it's going to be once all the groups and teams and everything gets added as we work out the course. And that's really what we have to do at Kevside is work out the quirks. We have to build groups. There's still infrastructure
043work we got to do. Um but it has great potential. >> There's not one really on the list of strategic plan, but another one that I just think of is just how do we create traditions and excitement about the school and the program here? Whether it's for students, whether it's for teachers, whether it's for community members, just what is it that we can also just continue to build the traditions and who we are school district. >> Okay. Say that right. Like embracing our past and building on continue to build on those traditions. >> I think so. >> Okay. Perfect. Glad you're taking all these notes. >> Okay. Last chance. I've got three. I've added some traditions, academics, >> capital projects, or facilities. >> School is always a big one. I think it's just what's going
044around around time and season, other districts. I think we just have to be mindful of that, too. So, I don't know if that's a goal, but it's just something >> it's in there. It talks about maintaining fiscal >> model. So, >> okay. All right. I appreciate your feedback. All right. So, now that you've set some directions for me, I'll come back to you with that. Um, and I report that out to you on at least two different times throughout the year, but I'll be start working on some of those pieces. Um, so sorry, back to this. Um, so important dates. The WASDA conference will be coming up in November. Anyone's interested in attending the annual conference this year. Um, I'll be talking to our student reps about some things there, some possibilities. Um, our annual
045regional workshops uh in January and we'll bring the board reorganization back to the group in January again. Um, and legislative conference in January. So, just reminder of some dates on that. >> I will plan to attend the WA conference in Belleview this year. >> Okay, got that. Perfect. New business. Um, so this is where you're voting on uh approving our school board operation principles. This is uh just seeking approval of what I heard you say was they've worked for us. We want to continue with those >> not broken. Is that a first >> motion to keep the operating principles? There we are. Motion >> has been made and seconded to reapprove the operating principles with no changes from past practice. All in favor? >> I I Okay, moving forward. The next one is resolution 2425-09.
046So this is we are seeking uh to add a Costco city bank credit card. Um we really want to as we talk about finances um to take advantage of really we have some opportunities if I will even use something as simple as today with our open house um using purchasing options that provides wholesale pricing on things like that. So give an example like the hot dogs, buns and things like that. uh we have opportunity when we have these don't happen very often but um we currently don't have a Costco card to take care of that. So for someone to come in we've been able to get by with minor purchases and getting reimbursed but um we'd like to have a card to be able to to do some things that wouldn't require someone to put
047up you know5 to $600 you know out so we could take care of that. So, if the board is okay, this would give us access to the Costco wholesale pricing. We're looking at getting uh uh card access to the administrative assistant and superintendent um for the just the official use of district business, just the two cards. In fact, we're start we're going to start with just the one um which would be her, not me. Um and then um it would still fall in compliance. Just telling you it's it's policy 6212. uh all the company procedures all still fall in line with district policy. Um if the board is okay with that, >> does this replace a different credit card we use now or does it replace a PO or or a check or >> all
048the above with POS, checks, things we've had to randomly do here with those things, we would just start using that um for just obviously it's just Costco when we need that. It's we don't do this a lot, but it would just give us the ability something we don't have that we've had to get really creative with in the past. It would make it a lot easier for us. >> It'll have its own page on the payables that'll say >> what it is and bought it and it was for and have a transaction limit. >> I know have credit limit, >> a single transaction limit. >> Um I don't think that's in there. Is it in the policy? >> Um, I would have to look up on there on that. >> I mean, there's transaction limits
049that I need to go to the board before I go over thresholds like that. So, it fits in line with those pieces. That part I can tell you because that's just a general transaction policy. Anything I have to go to the board for? >> Uh, make a motion to accept resolution 242509. >> I will second. All in favor? >> I >> Okay, calendar review. Uh, next month we will start our school year reports. Uh, Mr. Campo will be in front of you doing our custodial maintenance reports. Uh, starting with that, you'll hear from our board reps for the first time. Any other suggestions? >> Happy birthday that day. Really? >> Ice cream cake. >> Yes, please. >> All right, I'll be there. >> All right. Anything else? >> All right. Thank you for being here.
050>> I think at the end of the recording, you should play the music that you have playing. Okay.
