001Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all approval of the May 12th, May 27th, and June second meetings. Yeah, they're good. Yeah. All it has been moved and seconded to approve the minutes from the May 12th, May 27th, and June 2nd, 2025 meetings as presented. All in favor say I. All opposed, approved, additions and deletions. No. Did you get that resolution? I signed it over there. Did that that's all that welcome audience and positive comments to have we don't have an audience no audience consent agenda uh policy 3205P1 is what you're So that first one 3205P1, you guys have your first reading in April. And so this is the second reading or um for approval and I did put those back into the photo copy and then
002the second one we did last month. So, and they were both on um student harassment, bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination. Changes. Are we approving those? We are. Are we approving them together or separate? Yeah, you can do them together if you'd like. Okay. I move we approve consent agenda A, policy 3205 P1 and consent agenda B, policy 3207 and 3207 as presented. Second. Is there a second? Second. It's been moved and seconded to approve policy 3205 A1, policy 3207, and 320 7P. Any discussion? All in favor say I. All opposed. They are approved. Maintenance and transportation supervisor contract. So I have um all of the nor the ones that usually get approved this month every year in this Tabies and Randy's. Um, I we there weren't official negotiations this year, which is why we I didn't
003put anything down for amounts yet, but I talked with Jeff with the two and a half%. So, next month I will just have a list of all the certificated and classified and what their salaries are and um can present that because I will also we also approve the budget next month. So, we'll have a list of the actual amounts, but it's 2 and 12% increase across the board. Does anybody have any questions about the contracts? We just needed you need an action item tonight. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. All right. I motion that we are uh let's see 6 D C D and E as presented. Uh is there a second? I second. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded that we approve the maintenance transportation supervisor contract, business manager contract, and office manager contract. Any discussion?
004All in favor say I. I. All opposed. They are approved. Okay. Best grant. Uh it's just a a grant that we applied for that uh comes through OSPI ESD. It's a basically a mentor for brand new teachers. Uh Cody agreed to be uh listen. We uh did not the only thing that we was a stipen. So it it's just money is money. So the grants for $1,000. And was that for this for the 24 25 school year? Okay. Okay. Anybody have any questions about that? We approve the best statements for Metro Cody Titus. Second. It's been moved and seconded that we approve the best grant stipens for Cody and Melissa for $500 each. Any discussion? All in favor say I. All it's approved track coach statement just the additional statement for Zoe um for I
005guess regionals and state. Yeah. I move we approve stipen contract. Second been moved and second to approve the stipen for Zoe Bailey for the amount of $500 for the track state track. All in favor say I. I. All opposed passes classified contracts. Yeah, I don't have to list a lot of detail on here. My guess to note is Katie and Larry Martin are both halftime. They're 20 hours a week. Um, bus drivers, Brenda will have a decreased um contract this year. Let's see what else is there. Cindy recalls kind of um I contacted ESD because they um gave us a grant to pay for her last year and they are making the assumption that it's good again next year. So I don't have an amount. She's usually here one day a week, eight hours a
006day and they give us $50 for her and I claim that $50. So she gets paid $50 an hour. So we we not much because there's not it's not a fully benefited position. So it's just um her benefit amount that we paid for is really small. I'll entertain a motion. Um I move we approve the 202526 classified contracts as presented. Second. It's been moved and second to approve the classified contracts for as presented. All in favor say I. Opposed. It's approved. And I guess the thing to note is that as of today, we've received all certificated contracts for next year. So all of our certificate teachers with the exception of Haley Decker are coming back next year. capital. Well, on the connector, we haven't got past the digging stage yet. We've been out there by
007um basically the holes just keep getting bigger, but we haven't got any any forms yet. Um they we had a surveyor come out last week and he he surveyed and then there was some problems that that Marshall the general contractor thought. So he came out today to look at it and some of the surveying wasn't very accurate. And so they they have to redo some of the they're going to bring out an excavator again, you know, machine because it because they sent it back. Now they got to bring it out again. And my understanding it has to do with like making it wider. It's not as wide as it's supposed to be. And so the excavator is supposed to come out tomorrow. The the person from Bangum that was that represents Bangum, the guy Kevin
008Anderson, he was sick today, so he wasn't here. So Marshall came out and looked at it himself and and they came to the conclusion that they had to disperse. And so the next step is to port the forms and there's some discussion that they haven't agreed upon that has to do with the core. The uh the engineer is saying one thing in the concrete people are saying something else. So we're working on that right now. I asked Marker how you thought it was going to turn out. I don't I don't know the answer to it yet. on the on the walls that go up on on the sides. There's the inside wall and outside wall. The concrete person is is saying that we probably need to bring up the forms higher on the on the
009inside wall and then the engineer stand. And so and so they're they're kind of locked into what the engineer, you know, because because it could end up being a a change order. if it if it's a change order then it could end up being all the way around too. But um I talked to Marshall today. I'm going to talk to the rest this week and see where they land on. So So bottom line is no no concrete's been poured. No for Greg weighed in on that. What does Greg weighed in on that? Greg's part of the engineering part. So he's he's saying that it's he's saying that they don't need the inside walls as high because the the concrete people that came out. They were here again today and they were after last Thursday and
010their their position is they think the inside wall should be higher than what the plans are calling and and I talked to Kevin out here and he said that Kevin Armstrong for Magnum has in charge of the programming. He said that Vandom has a tendency to over build a little bit in our test compared to maybe some other people. And that was kind of his perception is that and the engineer has a different perspective on so um so where we're at now is more excavating and then then we're going to start hopefully this is formed starting concrete the concrete people around here today in the By the time I got here, I didn't get here till I got here, they already left. Doug, does it have to do with like how much concrete out of
011the ground it's supposed to be or do you know? Okay. You just said the inside wall that the the concrete person said the that the forms on the inside wall should be higher than what's on the plans. So that would be between the ramp and the stairs probably. Is that what they mean by the inside wall? The inside going up hill going up up the hill. Not going down the hill. But is it like the inside of the wall? Yeah, there's probably three walls. There's probably an outside wall on that side, then an inside between the stairs and a ramp, I'm guessing. I don't know. And then an outside wall on this side, I'm guessing. I don't know. Is coming back tomorrow. Marshall said he was ready to come back. I'll call that when I
012talked to you in the car because he was on his way home. I tend to go along with the concrete plan, but I would have to see it a little closer. Is it just who's it going to cost more? Is it because it cost us more? Cost us more because it change over. Oh, okay. So, yeah. And you think the concrete guys kind of aren't doing that just for more money? They're probably just trying to say what they've seen work or not work. Well, I'd like to hear the reason. I mean, person because a lot of times an engineer doesn't have a lot of common sense, but the concrete guy does. So that's that's what's worrying me the most. I'm sorry to say that, but Well, the engineers do go off a lot of like
013paperwork and blueprint, but not strapping. Yeah, that's right. Exactly. It was got that mouth for a little bit, but I didn't mean to, but I I just Okay, I got before that. Okay. I just Well, the color guys are like going based off experience and the engineer guys go off paperwork and measurements and ratios and Yeah. the whole picture on the ground for the concrete. Okay. No judgment. Is that for Okay. Safety. Hi. Hi. Um, we're going to have a safety meeting before the end of June because we need to approve minutes and go through all the things that need to be approved. I did work with we're going to have the active shooter drill on Wednesday in Kfax. And I believe even some of the lacrosse emergency medical services are going to go be
014a part of it. And uh, Mr. Gates, is he one of the dead guys or one of the live guys? I think we're both going to be dead, aren't we, by then? Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, why not? You know, might get an app out. We do it all. Um, and I worked with uh what's his name? Jason McFersonson on last week, whatever day I was here, and we finished uh wrapping up the school year. Different things that I had to do, and it went well, and he's great. And we're going to work on a comprehensive safety plan when I come back in August. Okay, technology, you're on. Um, just working on kind of the long-term projects we want to focus on as budgets get a little tighter with networking. Um, our phone systems getting older.
015So, there's just some stuff, you know, where we want to focus on kind of, you know, long term and what we want to do. Um, I'm looking for grants for the Prometheian boards now that Jan will have some time. I kind of talked to her about doing some stuff before she goes officially off contract and kind of looking there just because I've had some teachers want them now. So otherwise that's kind of it for that side of it. Athletics, so went through everything. Um let the league know, let the state know. So we're getting all that set up, all the stuff into our own account, working on that. and we'll be playing independent as part of the league. So, we'll be able to like play in if we have like a certain record. Colotus did
016this years ago. I'm officiated one of their games when they had a play in with Garpal, but they it's one of those where like you kind of set some restrictions like if you play it all JV schedule then you don't get the chance to play in and it may be something that I don't know how well it's going to work out. numbers, you know, girls-wise, you know, volleyball were good, but the other sports were kind of not really in a great spot with that. Um, so that's kind of where we're at as far as that goes and just trying to get summer stuff and get coaches figured out. So, legislative policy update I got sent you something that I just has to do with the funding for the current. It's just about having a single
017platform so that all kids are on the same platform so that if you transfer schools, you're on the same platform 7 through 12 and they're going to continue. Principal's report. I'm ready. I had not g you. I'm giving you a different report than I've ever given you. Are you excited? Yeah. Here's the first one. We're going to start with ELA. So, the top is and these are considered, I believe, still considered unofficial, but they're official. I've never seen them change. Um, these are this year's ESPback. I already gave you the English version. Okay. The top is this year's. Um, top one, grade 10. Um, if you didn't know, that's my man club. Pretty proud of them. Uh, blue is the highest. That's a four. Green is a three. Yellow's a two. Red is a one.
018Um, a four. yellow. Yellow's a red pink lighter pink darker. Sorry. No, I I didn't know. So, I should have now I know. Um Mr. Miller. Um I'm going to brag on Mr. Gates a little bit because I was like they come in one at a time as the kids finish and his kids were finishing pretty like sporadically. So they were seriously coming in one a day and um uh fours as 10th graders. That's a big deal. So uh that's pretty phenomenal. I have coded these a little colorcoded on the slides. Sorry about that harm. I'll know better next time. So the way I did this is like the next page is the year before. And if there's a yellow one that's the same cohort of kids. The reason there's not an orange one on
019the next page is because they don't take the test as fers. Okay? And then the next page is the year before. So you have three years of test scores. So you may have three years of the same kids. Um that's the way I like to look at it. I don't like to look at versus oranges. I like to look at oranges over time. So if you looked at the those grade 10 kids when they were in eighth grade, five of them passed, but they passed at a level three. So in 10th grade, three of them passed a level four. That one still was at a level two, but he was at a pretty high level, too, which you can't see on your thing, but I can see the numbers when I looked at it. Um,
020you know, nothing real surprising. Uh, nothing that jumped out at me at in the English, but uh, take a look at it. If you see something, feel free to call me, text me, email me, come see me. Let's talk about it. Let's see what we can do about it. There's Matt. I will tell you in general the state even Mr. Reichd Doll my buddy is saying middle school math is a problem period. Do we know what to do about it? No. Um do we have a problem with math? We know we do. So, we're going to work on um were the same. Yeah. I mean, grade seven, grade six. Yep. Are we making much progress? Are we making much digress? Do I like what it looks like? No. Uh so, that's going to lead into
021the next thing. I just want you to have this. I mean, you can take it home, digest it, you can throw it away. I don't care. But I wanted you to have it. Um, you guys know math's my thing. And so, I've been looking at it pretty closely, trying to figure it out. Now, what I can do is we do max testing. And I heard uh I know that at least you must have got from Katie. I didn't hear. Yep. Okay. Because it's pretty funny. I saw somebody posted it on Facebook. I went, "How'd that go out?" Oh, yeah. Report cards went out. Duh. And I wasn't here on Friday when they went out. So, I'm going to show you what a math report looks like for a district report. This is a little different
022than a student report. This is our district report for math testing. But this is able to show you like it's blue is still good with this. So this is a little bit Yes. So this is a little bit different report. These are percentiles. So in this district report the way this works is 43% this blue level. This is this is based against every kid that took the math assessment in all of the United States. Okay, these percents are based on all the kids that took it in the all grades. This one is page two is broke down and this is science on the top. Okay, page two. Here's our Yeah. So, Right. How many students took it? 21 of our students. 21 of our students took it. But it's those are norms meaning they're in
023the whole unit against the whole. Okay. Our 21. Got it. Okay. So, our grade six, you know, we're not doing too bad, but but if we were to look at this and say like Kobe, if Kobe was to take this and look at it, what grade do I need to work on the most? What grade means the most work in science? Grade seven. Grade seven. Okay, I can see that pretty sturdy. Do I know why by this? No. But then I can look at the next breakdown. So that gives you a little bit of a of a look at that. What? So green is gray level. Green and blue are grade level. Yeah, pretty much. They're saying about about 55% is what I just read on the spring test. So, a little bit of the
024yellow, green, and blue. Okay. Next page is language usage, which we only give um six and up. And if you'll look and and here's the other thing about spring testing. Kids are tired of testing, too. So, you've got that too as part of it. Um, but I but I will say I do turn this over and look at it. Only one kid finished the sixth grade test. We have more than one sixth grader. So, I don't know what happened there. Um, you know, and if I look at this again, the seventh grade, and we know that the seventh grade needs some intervention. So, is that where I would concentrate my intervention work? Yes. But would I go in and look closer at what are the specific things? Yeah, I can break it down even more.
025Next one is reading and it 58 students. So everybody kindergarten to 10th grade. And there again you can see that that seventh grade start is below grade level. No one extremely stellar but so we have work to do different but when you I mean and then you look at grade one only two kids tested you know so it's that kind of data too that you have to look at and then the last one and then this and this is all just achievement this is not growth This is just achievement. How well did they do on the math test? And then this was math. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. That's the medium in that grade level for us. And from what I understand that's very common that elementary that's where that what happens what's happening in those
026schools all across our school. This is growth. So this is growth from fall to spring and it's set up the same way as that was starting with science. Then language usage reading. Okay. So gross is the top growth at the top. And yes, it has the little quadrant thing, but because I'm not running my cursor over it, I can't tell you who's got this who's. But like look at grade 10 at the bottom of this first one in science. The growth if it's blue and that is blue that one at the bottom there called 83% had huge growth. Once again you know seventh grade yeah there was some growth but not a huge amount. This is maps from fall to from fall to spring. Okay. Fall to spring. Okay. So, the one underneath the other
027so same order. Next one's language usage. Sorry, I should have just taken that quadrant one out because see who's who in it. And like I said, if you want to look at these later closer, if you want to bring them in and we can talk about them, I don't have problem with that. So like grade six has like a 100% growth, but they went from bad, right, from strength. Like this is worse than this. Am I reading that right? Yeah. But this isn't good growth. This is low growth. Low growth. It hasn't color. Yeah. Yeah. It would be blue if it was good. Okay. All right. Seventh graders. like this one. Look at this. So green, green, all blue, you know, huge growth here for M. I have the promise. I came close to you.
028All the teachers teach So then we have all this data. What do we do with it? You know, and and I've seen some teachers that use it and I haven't been here long enough to know if everybody uses it or not. So, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. But we're going to sit down together and we're going to start using it together. I mean, Jeff and I have talked a lot. I've talked with Katie Daring a lot. I've talked with a number of them. Why can't we have schoolwide rules? If we can see something that every class is lacking, why can't we all be working on that? So, these are this is comes from new, which is the max testing. And these are reports that come. The first one is actually for a one
029student like I don't know it might have been brain dormance I don't know but it was for a single student. Okay. So after they do it do this test you can print out the student report for the teacher and it'll say they need to reinforce these skills meaning they know them but they need to keep practicing them. find quotients of basic division facts. They're ready develop to develop these skills, meaning, you know, they're kind of there if they're at this grade level. Anyway, it gives them an idea of where they are and what they need to be working on. That's more of a send home to mom page. The second page is the actual like standards like teacher talk standards what the standards actually. So that was at a out of the third grade level
030those first two pages. Second two pages um our 11th grade ELA same thing made our sensible idea. It might say that at a third grade level too. It's just I mean it's at a third grade level but a main central idea might happen third grade might happen 11th grade might be something that is in common that we all need to work on it's just a different reading bubble same thing kind of common talk second page teacher standards so my hope is by fall I'll have this all pretty and we'll be ready to hit it hard when the teachers come figure out where we are and where we want to go cuz we want to get there. Okay, I'm done with data. Now, I did get accepted into the WSU superintendent program. So I am going
031to give you my schedule for next year what it entails. It will be some Friday afternoons that I have to be gone. So it's basically one a month, one weekend a month. Um and the Friday starts at 12:15. you know, when it's in Vancouver, Washington, I'll have to take the whole Friday off. When it's in Spokane, I don't know what time I'll have to leave. So, probably I'll have to take the Friday off of that Friday. Um, that's the agenda for the first year. I don't know what the second year looks like. I've got a short I know. Yeah. Anyway, that's the soups program. Okay. Um Jake Dingman in Oakdale is going to be my superintendent mentor along with when Doug is here. Um and Trisha, I believe, is in year two of this, I
032think. Or she's doing something, too. I don't know. But she's in it, too. So, she's in it to win it as well. Okay. Now, page two. So, this year I was in something at AWS. I can't remember. first level leaders or first year principal something something and I went a couple times to Seattle with them. Um this is something they usually don't let you in until you've been around three years or more but once again Trisha is in it and so they're going to let me be in it with her. Um the only day that there is a day like during the school year that I have to be gone is that Monday in March. Um the rest of it is not during school time. Um and the third page is kind of what the
033mission is for year one. What are your three main priorities as a school or district and start working on that um you know problem of practice is basically what it is. And that's what I'm working on is what creating systems and what are the biggest systems that need to be created. And here we go. So those are the two things I plan to be involved in this year. And that's it. Nothing else except what Tommy tells me to do. Are there any questions about anything else that really involves our kids? Because I just talked about being a little right now. Sounds like you're on it. What? You're done. I am. finance. I um couple things. I've not received um the athletic don entire year yet. Um last year I got it in um September. So
034got paid in October. I'm assuming that's the way it's going to be again. this year. I I don't know what else to do other than that, which is kind of a pain because it's not going to reflect on this year's budget. So, I will be paying all of this athletic bills plus this year's in the 2526 school year. So, there's that. Um those are all itemized. Those are all itemized. They were last year, but um Janelle for those harvest year, we kind of just went back and like she sent me their spreadsheets and um actually I sat with Jeff too and we kind of looked at everything and we just had this back and forth thing with those spreadsheets just to make sure that because we won't really be paying anything for summer. We should
035not be paying. Okay. So I just want to make sure we have this contract. Yes. So, but that's why that's the good thing about I like that Janelle sent me those spreadsheets because there were things that Jeff went through and just No, no, no, no. That's not our cost. So, anyways, that's that. Um, budget. I did submit 203 to ESD and they approved it, send it on to OSPI. So, that part's done. That's our revenue piece. And the F195 is our expense piece, which is way more time consuming. Um, I'm close to having it done. And what happens is once I do that, it's kind of a back and forth thing with ESD. So, I send it to them, they look at it, and then they maybe ask me questions and I send them my
036answers or I make changes or whatever. So, I work with them. Um, I have not submitted it to them, but I have run it through one time. I'm not quite ready to submit it to them. Um, so what I will do with that once I think it's okay to send to them, I will give you guys I'll email you guys a preview of it because it will has to be approved at July 14 and it has to go in the paper for two weeks. So the end of June here in another week, I'm going to submit it. I'll submit it to the paper. goes into the is that for two weeks and then um we'll approve it the July 4th meeting. Once that's done then they send it to OBI. So I just have my
037part send it to ESD and when everything looks good then they'll send it on to OBI. So that's where I'm at with other than that I don't have um like I said our bills are slowing down because it's the end of the year except for the athletic costs when we get those. Um, I'll let you know if those come in this school year or not. So, there is a way to back to take it from last, you know, to put it backward into this school year, whether we want to do that or not. It'll just depend on what I get, I think, because sometimes that might mean that we have to do a budget extension. So, and those are kind of a pain, but if we can avoid it, I don't want to do that,
038but if I have to, revenue wise, we're not a whole lot ahead of last year. I mean, or this year, I guess I should say. We're kind of, you know, still really close to what we got because our numbers are decreasing. So, but we're not losing them. Just special ed is going to help us out a little bit. Those look good. Anybody have any questions for Tanya? I entertain a motion to pay the bills unless somebody has a question. Make a motion to pay the June bills in the total of 247,24265. Second. It's been moved and seconded to pay the May payroll June bills in the amount of $247,24265. All in favor say I. All opposed. Bills can be paid.
