001There's some additional language that's been expanded probably more had to do with religious philosophical those kind of things. This language has been expanded but doesn't really affect the the core of the policy. If you turn the page over on the back side, there are two new sections. The intervention section is new and also is the students with individual IEP and 504 plans is that was not included in the old in the old in the 2012 version the policy part those are the only changes any questions on that okay on the procedure um that's also should be part of the fact that you have 3207. This is nothing on the first page that's a change. When you get to the second page under behaviors and expressions, which is that complies with compares with the policy, that
002part's due more information like cyber bullying and bullying and stuff. And then if you um as you go to the next page under the compliance officer that has some expanded language and part of the part of the reason that we decided to bring it to you is Teresa being a compliance officer has to be training with our staff every year and some of the things that she trained us on were not in the old policy. Does that make sense? Okay. So under under compliance officer this her whoever it is they're hearing. So it's up to date. Um only other change is when it comes to step three investigations of unresolved severe or persistent harassment intimidation. Um the second paragraph in in number three that starts out if during the course of an investigation that paragraph
003new nothing else changed and those are the only those are the only changes between between the 2000 2023 this was adopted lost in 2023. That's only changes between 2023 and this is just the first basically. Does anybody have any questions about about this before we move on? Uh considered the agenda D superintendent contract. So there's superintendent contract for 20 256 Um is Mr. Curtis is gonna decrease his time. We made his contract which is 85 days. It's 7.5 hours a day which drops his pay to 60,4864. Um and then his remains the same. So that's a little over $15,000. Any questions about the superintendent contract contract? Second. I moved and second to approve the superintendent contract for the 2526 school year uh for $60,48640 plus the annuity of $10,000. All in favor? All oppose. Motion
004passes. Uh 6E principal contract. Mrs. Bessie is a um for 2526 it's going to be a 215 day contract. Her salary will be $113,687. And these are based off of a 2.5% contract for 2025 SAS. We moved and second to approve the principal contract for 202526 215 days and $113,68728. All in favor say I. All opposed. Looks like you got Looks like you got to work another year. passes. I don't know about 28 cents, but just say, "Hey, where's my 28?" Yay. Looks like you got to work again. Communications to the board capital. Is that what you're doing next? I finally was able to get a hold of Marshall and he was trying to explain to me what was going to happen this week and I was walking down the hall and I said you
005better. So this is what he shared with me. Um we got the permit all that taken care of and so what's happening this week is you send there'll be some people on site this week. Um the people doing utility locates and that'll be done this week. Uh center engineering will be on site Wednesday to mark excavation places and all that stuff. Tom if everything goes okay then he says that they should be there will be people here. They they said they're hoping to get the fence put up that surrounds the work area. So let's see. That's kind of all I have. Uh moving on to safety. The big project we're working on right now is that live the simulated live stream. Okay. I think I am one of them. You are. Yeah. To be a
006volunteer to be an observer. So, you're going to be a what? Observer. I think all the superintendent are going to be sitting up like a box kind of. Okay. Wow. in the line. Okay. Uh technology I did I don't think there was a technology technology. No, he did he did include some information on the survey. I'm going to give you right now is a synopsis of the survey. Okay. Just ask Okay. on the u and um by the way Trisha shared with me the St. survey that they sent out too. Um if you look through the document, you haven't seen this tonight, right? Correct. Okay. So I can give some time to look through it. Um it's what Jeff did is he went through and summarized so that there's no names associated with any of
007the information. Um went through and summarize like what how it turned out. I have the questions, but this is kind of the synopsis. Do you want to take some time and just read through it? That'd be better. I was just going over I kind of numbers. This is middle school and high school. We have this middle school and high school kids for the fall, right? This is high school. High school. Okay. This is just high school. We want to kind of do the highlights of the student. Um he said most of the comments that he got back that he had was either positive and negative came down to three different areas. Travel, coaching, and culture. And there was one student that thought travel was positive. Coaching only one student noted the coaching is positive. Multiple
008students noted the coaching is a negative aspect with three students that coaching specifically favored St. John. And then culture that was that was when you get to the last page is where is where the final question had to do if we should continue with the co-op and that's mentioned in the last paragraph. So the 22 responses only three wanted to continue the co as it is and Jeff I talked to I talked to Jeff this morning and that was an emphasis the word as is. That makes sense. Um seven wanted of the 22 responses only three wanted to continue the call as is. Seven wanted to end the co-op and remain 12. It was kind of his his reflection. We talked to him this morning and these numbers down here are the indicators of what
009high school kids sports next year. That's true. That's not And do they know about the third third they did this survey? I don't know. It's I would say the kids that have parents that have been sharing with them. Okay. Does that make sense? Yeah. I don't know that all of them. Okay. Jeffrey Jeffrey today and I talked very clear that the department is yeah all the time sure the parent one I could let her talk about this more she's probably spent more time study than I did you know you got this you got the question what do you appreciate about the um the co-op, what are some challenges? What are the things we can do to improve it? And then the fourth question is, do you think we should continue? And those are the answers.
010And then if you said no, I went through it. Some of the concerns were traveling. I mean, I don't know who the the survey went out to everybody that gets sent to that same I was going to put something on Facebook like check your email or survey but I don't know you know people don't wear bulletin every day so you just see another thing like When we printed this out this morning, we had four and I didn't looked at and thought that even if we got more that it would be fairly representative. Yeah. So this is information for you know you asked for a survey. So this is a and we did this. So, we did a student Jeff conducted the student survey and then sent out the um and just another thing with athletics
011is as of right now we have a sports board meeting on Thursday. Here's the mark in it. And then don't we need to add on here because we didn't approve the meetings last meeting because the INCO hadn't gotten it. So we should probably put them on there so we can approve. We got approval of minutes from previous meetings. So just make meetings there. Yes. That cover that for you? Yes. Okay. All right. Let's get them approved. And then uh so they the followers like approving the meetings and then they Chris said they want to go to an executive session. I think it's regarding personnel, I believe, and then middle school follow up date resignations. And then between six and seven, Trish and I both felt that we should put in their get to it because
012everything else after that you don't need to do that. Correct. So I talked Teresa was not at school today. She was up at the ESD working on some logistic things and so but she said she's been checking her email and she has not heard back at the same time. She just sent her back. I called to let her know we were going to have a quorum because I talked to them just to make sure we had these three and just let her know she said she hasn't back anything else on the agenda. That's as of right now. That's what she's going to send out. I hear probably. We're going to do that between approval of minutes and executive session. probably done. Yeah. Okay. And that's kind of all I have. Sure. Okay. Uh we'll move
013on to 7E uh legislative policy update. [Music] I don't other than we didn't get any out of it basically Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and it was just different every school day. I said I sat in on session about 60 school representatives in there and a question was asked how many of you came out because next year every single person and the one that didn't school district on the west side and that was pretty much I thought the theme of the entire of the entire police is just to figure out what they're going to do. They do plan um coming back in short session next year and just really hitting hard like representatives for their representatives for their superintendent that are just we have to really hard make sure to try to get more fun. We
014didn't get um Dan it was Dan Steel was another session I sent in. It was him and TJ. They said they asked or made groups and asked for 9 million dollars and it was cut down 400. So I don't sense that we're going to get any more. It will help us. Our special ed's going to help a little bit, but pretty much that's it. even that um our levy spending because our numbers are going down. So we're going to get next year this year. Okay. 7F Um, in 2009 they started the Washington Achievement Awards. That's those green banners right there. And now now they then they stopped doing them for a while over CO right before CO right after CO and now the banners in here. It's basic it's it's basically the same this the
015state board of education has taken a bigger role in identifying the winners. That's not one reason. It's called something different now. It's called school recognition day recognized school. When when OSBI was directly involved in it forward, it's called the same award. They have different categories. This year, our elementary school and our high school are both matters. So, we're two matters. We're having an award ceremony, which it's not really special. It's just at the very end of the meeting. in Spokane this Thursday. So, I'm going to go to that. The first superintendent I've been to this year and um come over and and you can see on here it's it's a it's crazy school and they have different categories. The category that we were recognized this year was growth of low income students, which kind of
016makes sense because our our low income rates gone up the last soc And I think the 234. Okay. Uh number eight, principal report. Good. Um, first uh we have a new addition to our family. Um, Evelyn was born this afternoon something. Anyway, everybody's happy and healthy. So I have pictures and we did have turned out really great because the sun came today and Alice said, "Do you think we can have a personal day?" I'm like, "Oh yeah, this is the system." And um and it turned out she got to move it from a personal day to a day if she wants to have everything works out. Um just going down uh creating a culture. Um, I presented the draft schedule to secondary at our meeting last Wednesday, noting that noting that there were some without
017assignments due to our low numbers. Um, those problems I've been told I've been asking people, what do you do? What do you do? What do you do when you have teachers that don't have kids in their classroom? Because I know you don't just love to sit there. So, they talked about co-eing. So, uh, I have some ideas for co-eing. I don't have any firm plans yet, but that will be how we solve that problem. Um, and Wednesday at PD after some discussions, uh, I plan to share all assignments with staff. Um, and next steps, I still want to try to do some interviews with the seniors before they leave for Hawaii. Um, safety, I'm behind on drills. I'm not going to lie about that, but we will have one in May. Um, and then just
018the same including the active year. Was it on June 18th? Do you remember that? It's June 18th, right? The active year. June 18th. Yeah. And we're going to be a part of that. Yeah. It's going to be a big deal. Streets blocked off. Yeah. It's going to be full pledged. All the emergency services are going to come in. Where's high school? High school, right? Okay, planning with data. Next page, uh, spring SBA scores are coming in. Um, and it's, you know, when can we take time to look at that data? We need to look at it now because we need to use it to plan for next year. Um, I'm working with Stephanie still with MTSS. um she's hoping to get a grant so that we can work with her without having to pay ESD,
019but ESD isn't as hard of a place as we are. They let people go already. Um and it's uh what do we offer? I want to get we need to get our team on board with what do you do with data? We have the data. What do we do with it? And how do we inform instruction? And so those are our next steps. um and getting our students on board getting them to take ownership of things. Um aligning curriculum uh math, science, I do have a quote from mystery science. I'm still waiting. I'm going to talk to Kobe and Mark as one of the parts of the schedule is to have some elementary stuff go on period where like today's Katie's earrings day. So, she brings up all of her kids and we do STEM
020and science. Um, and that'll check our Heather box, too. Uh, and then math. Mark's going to be using Illustrative Math. Um, it's a free curriculum that's used by a bunch of schools. It's what ESP recommended for us. And he's tried a couple lessons so far this year. Um, that I thought worked really well. Um, next steps. We need to do a TK. You know, we just need to get this stuff aligned. Jeff needs to know what the third grade English teacher is, how they're teaching, whatever conventions they're teaching so that the language can be the same all the way through. And so, how do we do that? I have some ideas. Um, I I try to get the leadership team to help with those ideas and we're just going to go from there. Just keep
021moving forward is what we need to do. It's not okay to sit dormant. way up to this for our kids. Um, improving instruction. I'm down to two evaluations remaining and I have one of them typed out, ready to send. Um, and another one, uh, she got, I should say, she they got permission, we emailed the union post, they and I, and to get permission to go after because her unit of study for her student wasn't finished yet. Um, and that's fine. That was just that's how it happened. So, it wasn't a big deal. Jeff's good with it. Um, and then Jeff and I are going to work together because the current CDA, the language about evaluation is out way updated and it doesn't make sense. So, I've gotten like five or six different districts to
022send theirs. Um, wash is really good step by step how it works. My hope is the improving instruction along with the aligning curriculum along with the planning with data. My hope is we can come up with a student a schoolwide student growth goal. Like maybe we can see in every grade level we're not great at analyzing non-fiction texts. Every class can work on that a little bit in their own way and we can work towards improving that area. I don't know what that looks like yet, but I know that we need to work together. um managing resources. Todd and I have been working together and we're trying to manage those resources and it's going to be cut and it's not going to be fun and it's just going to it is what it is. Um
023engaging families, this part makes me happy. Buffers with moms was fantastic. Um it's so much fun to see all the people come in and we play bingo. I I dig that. It's kind of fun. Um, and then next Wednesday is going to be our final food bank distribution for this year. And everything left over, I'm being told it's going to go back to the food banks. Um, and then closing the gap. You know, it's all the work, right? It's it's that work of trying to get us all on the same page so we're doing what's right for our kids. Any questions? Thank you. Uh number nine, financial report have a new the treasures reports table. I was [Music] at I also added in there Sorry. When I um purchased a capital um you have another
024check register for capital because I wanted to make sure that there was nothing needed holding that up. So I ran that through. So that got added last minute for approval tonight. So, so after um April's lovey revenue came in, we are ending at [Music] $389,89. That's our balance right now for um the general fund. Well, I'm expecting this is less than April of last year. So my hope is that we just have a lot more money coming in next month than we did last year. So other than that, I don't have anything new to talk about. I have been working on the budget. I kind of have a rough draft all ready to go. So if you guys want to look at it during executive session and I just put it in a pie chart.
