001e good evening everyone this is a call to the order call to order for the policy committee meeting for Wednesday March the 5th at 5:30 Mrs chop could we get a roll call please absolutely Tom henkins here Amy Levy here and Brian Nichols here all members are present thank you good I get an approval of the agenda so moved second any discussion yes one yes um one of my team members is not yet here is it possible that we move item 2 a um to the I want to say to the I don't want to say to the bottom of the of the meeting but can we move to a until he is um present for the conversation he is supposed to be here okay well go ahead is it okay oh sure thank you
002um quick question just want to make sure has the policy been passed out to every booster club leadership so I'll be prepared to answer that question when Mr Gratz is available okay and the reason I ask that is because instead of moving it um if everyone hasn't had a chance to look at the policy I would say pull it and and I would also be very disappointed because this is the same conversation we had last month H I just want to make sure that that question is answered with Mr grass in the room well I from my two cents would be that I wouldn't want to keep continue to move it waiting on Dan you know if we either we move it to the bottom or we pull it this what I my suggestion um
003I agree with board member Levy that you know here we are our second time so um board member henkins do you have any input on this or uh not really just asking the uh question moving it on an agenda item from one place to another is that violate anything about open meetings just a question no no it does not so just a recommendation could we just pause it until he arrives and then we finish up whatever discussion we're having and shift in cuz I know that there are there are some people that are here and so we don't want to keep them here indefinitely I'm fully fully okay with that place okay great suggestion board member leevy we yes we'll uh we'll pause that U that item to to a till Mr gats arrives and
004then we'll move on to uh the approval of the minutes so moved second any discussion on that hearing none all those in favor say I I I I motion carried okay let me get this sorted out since we're going to come back to that might want to start with C so right y I did that's what I'm doing thank you okay we'll move on to uh 2C policy 355 35 3454 promotion and retention um I think we're going to hear from Mrs beavers and Mr Bosco and Miss Mork and Mrs morch good evening no two c two B is tied to 2 A Who's on First good evening so we're here um to uh present the policy sorry I got to find my place here 45.4 promotion and reten and the reason why we're here
005is um because of part of act 20 that you guys have heard a lot about um it's the school board's responsibility to adopt a third to fourth grade promotion policy um that includes at a minimum what's what's outlined in the statute we previously took this policy to the teaching and learning and pupil Services committee two weeks ago to solicit feed back so we have already been there and now we're here and I we don't have a presentation we just would like to walk through the revisions board member Ley thank you just a quick question how you want us to have the discussion do you want to go Page by Page or can I just go through all of my questions I would suggest that you go through all your questions perfect thank you so much
006okay so my first question is the first three lines um I think that beautifully lays out the mission and so I'm just wondering what is the rationale for proposing the deletion of that right above purpose and philosophy I don't I just don't I don't think I don't think we thought that was necessary for policy language okay um and then under number one purpose and philosophy where Wisconsin Act 20 requirements are listed do you think it's more prudent to say um compliance with Wisconsin state laws um and my rationale for that is if act 20 goes away someone has to be mindful that this policy is going to need to be updated what do you guys yeah I don't have any I don't have any uh hesitation with that so unless a committee member has an
007objection if we could just remove Wisconsin Act 20 requirements to Wisconsin state law requirements and I believe the same thing appears on the next page it's the third line down Miss Shope under the header third and fourth grade promotion requirements so my next question was going to be um looking at section two promotion um how is well actually yeah it still is um how is the perspective of a parent or Guardian factored into the promotion decision like what role do they play in that process not the ultimate decision but in that process yep okay so thank you for like triggering my memory that I didn't really explain um so the policy that we created is based off the model policy put out by DPI so that's to just kind of have that background they set
008out a model policy and we kind of took that as a cross departmental team and and put that into school district of booy vision um what we did then was there is part of the statute says You must have um procedures written as well and so you'll see under this agenda item there was there should have been um promotion guidance as well got it okay so in that you'll see that there is um the the the process when you go through the promotion and retention decision with each individual student and as a parent is a member of that team when you're reviewing the progress or lack thereof that a student made do you want to speak a little bit more to that or is Are there specific question or well okay um for the ACT
00924th grade promotion guidance it says promotion and retention determination process so I guess my first question is this the EML LSS team that like they say it could include is that what constitutes the team that's actually where we're going to insert this guidance is into our em LSS document so you are spot on okay and then I I am assuming but I want to confirm that em LSS is Equitable multi-level systems of support yes ma'am we may want to spell that out somewhere in the document um I would just say the first time it's used because everyone wouldn't be familiar with that language um and then my question is in the policy I know that it says that a parent or Guardian is a part of that team but what function do they have on
010are because I don't know how many let's are there like six meetings for a student are they expected to be at all of those meetings I'm assuming they're taking place during the day that might not be feasible for some parents to someone call them and say hey we had these meetings this is a summary and ask for their input I'm just trying to understand like what level of Engagement parents and Guardians logistically have sure that's a great question when we look at the emss process at the building level students that are flagged would then have a personalized reading plan the the kind of context of that is within 10- we Cycles essentially so the parents would be part of that process um at the very beginning and then they'd get progress monitor data from the
011team um for that student throughout the entire 10 weeks if that student was then going to continue on a PRP because they continue to be flagged or if that student was going to continue through the EML system where they're going from tier 2 to tier three intervention the parents are informed of that process every step of the way and invited into those yes that's part of the statute too for ACT 20 y we have to so they're not really giving input and I'm not saying that's right or wrong they are being informed kind of every step of the way is that their involvement or is well I think at the emss team level process we want as a team to have input from the family about things that are going on in the home or
012things that they're seeing um decision making is done collaboratively as a team so while the interventions might be prescriptive from a school um District perspective based on what's in the Els guidance say kind of what's next based on the progress monitoring data that we're seeing the parents will have input but decision- making is going to go through kind that emls kind of formulaic approach I guess if I'm saying that okay perfect thank you so much um and then on the second page under the header that says third to fourth grade promotion requirements um the very last line of that the EM LSS guide book where does that document live and can we have that cross referenced at the bottom of the policy show so the emss guide is some is a guide that we house
013in the district um um curriculum warehouse for all staff to be able to access um I don't know if it's publicly accessible under staff under for it's available for all staff through the staff tab okay so it wouldn't be available for everyone so we wouldn't cross reference it on the policy but is access to that given to parents and Guardians as a reference yeah I I don't know if it is typically but we can look into that okay can I add one more thing that Michelle I think we should where it says em LSS right there in the policy I think we should spell it out like you just said because we don't have it anywhere else yeah so I can give that to you just at the end of first paragra Equitable multi level
014systems of support and then in parenthesis em LSS perfect um and then under the next header fourth and eighth grade promotion requirements number three the very last thing um it's just the three criteria and follows District guidelines if I was a parent or guardian or just someone looking through this policy like what is that the the district guidelines and is that something we want to cross reference or give people access to I got to get my head no no problem it's the very last portion of number three yeah what are those District guidelines yeah are are they is that really the EM LSS or are there separate District guidelines um students classroom teachers and follows District mlss guidelines perfect y That's a good it is a great catch um and then number four the um
015appeal process so a couple things one because this covers promotion between third and fourth grade and I believe seventh and 8th do I have that right 8th to 9th 8th to 9th okay um is there and thank you for providing the acts 24th grade promotion guidance is there one for ninth grade promotion is that different do they use the same information no because because act 20 is only up through third grade so the where you see fourth and eighth grade promotion requirements we're looking at academic performance State assessment results and then teacher building recommendation so the eighth grade promotion has nothing to do with act 20 correct correct it's a separate act okay um perfect so here's my question under appeal process um one it we need to remove thatthe in number four um so
016parents/guardians may appeal only on the basis of and then it continues but actually that's not accurate because when we look at the fourth grade promotion guidance if we go to the second page under number four it says the school/ district Representatives recommend retention but the parent SLU Guardian does not consent in this case the student will be promoted to fourth grade regardless of other factors so there is no appeal process because all the parent has to do is say no thank you getting ourselves okay we're I think we're just behind one half step here problem okay so the first place we need to look is on policy 3454 we're good with that we're number four the so it lays out an appeal process right so when I was going through it my initial question was
017because it just says you can submit an appeal well my question was what happens after that like who do I hear back from what is the time frame what if I don't can I peel that whatever and then I I kept reading cuz when stuff doesn't make sense keep reading so the fourth grade promotion guidance says that if the school/ district recommends retention the parent are Guardian if they don't consent to that then the child is promoted regardless of other factors so there is no need for an appeal process because the parent has the ultimate decision to say no thank you yep you're correct so that's straight from um DPI right so we we need to remove section 4 yes ma'am I agree right and then I guess my other question was the ACT 24th
018grade promotion guidance I love that it was given to us as a reference because I learned a lot so thank you you're welcome is this going to be added to the policy is it going to be cross referenced is it because I feel like it should well it's not going to be added to the policy and the reason for that is because there's a lot of similarities act 20 is changing every single day and so we anticipate this guidance will probably be different in at in the fall yeah absolutely so and it might be not that the statute has changed but the interpretation and application of the statute that's what they de one more so will that impact the process because what I really appreciate about this is it lays out the process and if
019we don't Envision the process changing but maybe interpretation and kind of nuance it would be helpful for families to look at this and understand the process I definitely think this the the process should be on the website for reference to the the family I you guys age absolutely and in the emss guide as yeah then we're linking all of the things together and it's being transparent yeah okay you said something that concerns me mhm it's changing every day sure the interpretation of the ACT I mean I understand but that concerns me are we are we getting a little bit out over our skis I don't mean we have a timeline put okay what's what is I'm sorry I missed yeah what is the so the current state statute of act 20 requires districts to develop
020and adopt this policy um by July 1st okay and so what's happening is because this Policy Act 20 is so nuanced there are whether they're debating about the assessment the materials the training the funding uh the state coaches that come or don't come there's so many nuances to this statute so the next layer of this is um the training that we had to do for the screeners and the screeners are this are the launch pad to the reading plans and then also the progress monitoring to determine the promotion policy so if there's changes in the assessment screeners and there's changes in the reading plans that'll affect the policy changes and then whether or not they decide that students that are not demonstrating progress made towards their reading plans if they go on or not could
021potentially be debated as well so we just have to adopt the policy and I like how Miss Levy suggested within state law because there's the potential of state law changing in the next couple years as this is a very new law for the next couple of months correct yeah okay well that's my concern I you know I mean we we have to do what we have to do I don't we you know I love you guys but we don't need to go through this every couple of weeks I hope we would prefer not to yeah okay well I have a question so this so can a can a parent come to the school district and say I like to hold my child back in the third grade before before if seriously yeah yeah okay happens
022all the time okay but the but the parent olding has the final say in this process correct uh parent or guarding well at a certain grade level yes yeah third third and fourth three going to four right that's what we're talking about I think I think a parent has the final say in promoting not retaining is how I interpret that yeah and I think we always as Educators come to to the table with a conversation right you want to look at things as a caseby casee basis and honestly that is a um the body of research just to kind of throw that out there around retention it it's not an effective intervention strategy in most cases um because what happens is is the student may be retained and then in the beginning they it's like
023they're caught up but the reasons why they were behind aren't really addressed and they often fall behind again and so that's why and what it really does long junal Studies have shown is it increases Dropout rates because you if you retain a student you know when they're small it's that doesn't seem like a big deal but on the on the latter end you've now turned an 18-year-old into a 19yearold or or an 18-year-old into a 20-year-old um senior and then that leads to increased Dropout rates and so that's just kind of like a bigger thing to think about but back to your question yes a parent always has the right to make requ quests and then we come together and talk about what's best for for individual children okay yeah yes board member Ley thank
024you for saying that because you I there's one other thing that I highlighted so on I don't know what page it is but it says if retention is is recommended by the school the district will identify and communicate supports to mitigate potential negative impacts such as social stigma loss of friendships damag self-esteem and other mental health concerns do we have a process in place to address those needs that are outlined for our students absolutely that's our student services teams thank you so much welome remember hkin is there anything that you any questions you have or would like to add no it's just a question and forgive my ignorance naive um I hear parent guardian and knows our legal terms and I also know just being on the board the the there's a lot of grandparents
025are involved and there may they may be not be their legal guardians but they are kind of the caretakers so when we say legal you know parent Andor guardian and we all know in some families that's not how do we how does the school district uh decipher that yep so if a grandparent is the caretaker of a student in the district they're listed in the system As a caretaker SLG Guardian so this covers them it's not leg no well I mean they don't have to they don't have to have been granted that by a court to be a legal guard if they're a grandparent by birth um there's guardianship papers yes and there's caretaker papers yes some are court ordered and some are like caretaker paperwork is not court ordered it's a parent signing over
026rights right I mean I know you run into this I'm sure where there's an abyss out there of who's in control of this child yeah legally okay yep we have that all in their Student Records I move approval of policy 3454 Act as edited um and also for the retirement of policy 3455.462185 board for the first reading thank you okay next up is uh policies Food Service policy 760 760 rule 1 760 rule 2 and 761 uh I will open that for discussion board member Levy thank you so I guess my first concern is just structurally how these policies flow um in reviewing policy 670 Food Services programs it doesn't really get into the programs it spends a lot of time talking about non-discrimination so I am going to toss this out there and I
027would love feedback I think the content of four or of 760 rule one really talks about the food service guidelines so I would be open to shifting this the content of policy 760 rule one into policy 760 so what I'm recommending is we keep that first paragraph and then that Standalone sentence guidelines which govern and then we go into the content of 760 rule one because that really addresses food service programs and then at the end we go back to the content the remaining content that's in policy 760 that talks about the non-discrimination and I would recommend that we use a header for that of non-discrimination in the Food Service program does anyone need me to repeat any of that I I do so you're saying absolutely Sor take away 760 rule one no no
028no so we're we're going to keep um 760 as our framework but we'll use this first paragraph and the stand along since so everything above what is recommended to be deleted we keep that there and then we jump down to the content that's currently in policy 760 rule one because that really speaks to the Food Service program although it's listed as guidelines but that describes the program and then we conclude policy 760 with the remaining information that's really focused on non-discrimination and I'm recommending that as a header for that we use non-discrimination in Food Service program does anyone object to that before I I don't think I object but are you so are you going to including the additions to the yep and and that would actually streamline it because this information is added here
029and then it's also added again here it's in the policy and the rule and I'm sure there's a reason for that but if we combine it then we streamline it you just need to have it in one place so if everyone is okay with that um if we're looking at what is currently 760 rule one it just jumps right in it and for us lay folks that don't understand the Nuance of your work that can be a little confusing so it starts with responsibilities of the school Food Authority I have no idea what the school Food Authority is so maybe if we could have some language and it doesn't have to be lengthy because that's different from the Food Service management company right but I have no idea what that is so if someone could
030explain that maybe we can include that in the language that would be helpful so the service Authority right now is your m m um right now the Food Service um Authority is under Bob chady um the DPI has recommended that it it be under me because I'm I'm managing the the Food Service management company so I guess my question is and I appreciate that that's a DPI recommendation but if you're talking about the responsibilities of the the school food you know what I think I just answer my question so the school Food Authority is currently remind me of Mr chat's title Executive Director of Business operations Business Services Business Services thank you or desic KN so you're not caught up on that and then the Food Service management company is Chartwells is that accurate but
031we wouldn't put them in case that changes um and then it goes to the building principle all right I think I got the or chart now um Dr Garrison are there any concerns with Shifting the role of the school the school Food Authority from Mr chat's office so since DPI made that recommendation and um I don't see that being a disagreeable space for the administration I'm fine with that okay is anyone opposed to just a sentence and uh don could you give me your title um school um director of um food and nutrition okay um so the responsibilities of the director of food and nutrition well it's the school the school food Authority is I be honest with that's DPI well that's like DPI language yes so we'll be changing it if we do that
032okay so I don't want then we don't want to do that so the responsibilities of the school Food Authority and then if we have a sentence that says the school Food Authority for the school district of booy is the director of food and nutrition did I get that right that be perfect yeah okay and then I think the rest of it flows um and then I'm good and then the green part at the bottom we only have to add once because we're combining it so this I'm fine with the switch um Mrs Smith did you have any no I'm fine with it too Miss Shope did you need me to repeat anything oh the board has well sorry board member henkins is there do you have any questions or suggestions no I'm good with this
033thank you okay Dr gar do you have some more no okay okay Mrs sh you're good with the changes I just need clarification on where we landed with the responsibilities of the school Food Authority is that where we stayed or did we change it no we're going to keep it but then we're going to specify that the school Food Authority for the school district of booy is the director of food and nutrition or desic KN just to give us some and then could I ask a question of um Mrs Smith about the policy not content but just layout sure so in looking at the policy my question is is number two and everything underneath it the responsibilities of the school Food Authority um let's coordin confirm um yeah I think so and then the responsibilities
034of the Food Service management company would be underneath that yes so that should be that should so I'm I'm just wondering if um I know this is picky but instead of number two being a two if it should be like an A and then the a through H should be underneath so it falls underneath like three has the A and everything underneath it to better flow cuz I felt like when when I looked at it just now it looked like well what are those responsibilities and then I thought well then who's doing number two so anybody object to me making those changes to the policy no so number one would have a through I and then three would become two and so on yes if if that's correct unless two should be a a higher
035number and the other things fall underneath that that's what I was just trying to figure out and I can talk to her later about it as long as the committee is okay with us making those changes so it flows yes fine I'm fine with that right because all the all the duties of two are under her jurisdiction her responsibility so yeah I would think that would be and we'll we'll figure out the little how to lay it out okay later okay needed be okay so I move approval of policy 760 food service programs and the retirement of policy 760 rule One Food Service program guidelines I'll second any further discussion yes okay and I'm not sure I'm looking at 76 61 Wellness PDF do we have a standing Wellness PDF or committee yes and they
036they meet as scheduled what is spelled out in there orderly okay yep okay all those in favor say I I I I motion carried we'll move this to the full board for first reading um shelle got that right thank you okay next item is 760 rule two up for revision um open that for discussion [Music] also actually let me before we do I'll just add this I'll just clarify this so the only addition is the same po the same the non-discrimination non-discrimination we needed the whole policy got you yep Bo member Ley thank you so just a couple things um one the the start underwat consumption feels like a bullet point instead of a full sentence it just says encourage increased consumption of water throughout the day um is this the district the just if
037we could round that out um and then my concern with that is under water bottle policy each site shall determine when students may bring bottles for use during school and establish a policy of whether or not bottles may be refilled during school time so that to me feels like the opposite of encouraging increased consumption of water throughout the day because what we're saying is that someone in the district is going to communicate when they can bring water bottles and if they can be refilled and so I'm just wonder is there something I'm missing for that language or can we just sum that up with students will appropriately use water bottles because that's the only thing I can think of where someone would put a a restriction on their use or is that so common that
038we don't need to include that into the policy can I respond to that sure so I think it's an interesting space here and when I reviewed it I wanted to look I wanted to hear a little bit more from you know Mr Smith around it because I did not ask her specifically about this part um yes I can tell you sometimes students like to go get water a lot during class time um and so that becomes a that can become a thing um and so um we have to kind of restrict certain things but I don't think it needs to be spelled out like this in the policy and so um maybe we can just use we encourage like you just mentioned we encourage students to you know use water bottles at the appropriate time
039designated by the classroom teacher or something like that or are you comfortable with under the header of water bottle policy um students will follow classroom rules with respect to water bottle usage I'm fine with that and then we can just submit that first sentence which I already Shar my feelings on and then my other concern is that first bullet point water bottles must be clear and have secure caps um that is not a thing in the district and when policy doesn't match practice we need to figure out which one needs to change I don't think any administrator any classroom teacher wants to spend time battling over a water bottle so I think we should just remove that un so we so I can tell you the reason why that's there is because you know there
040has been situations where something is not water in the bottle and I'm not going to you know shade that conversation with the board so that's probably why that is there however we're not following that part of the policy I'm not I'm not going to say that part either because I've seen b Bots like yours or water Bots like mine which is all silver um so I understand that too so does anyone object to removing that first bullet point that the water bottles must be clear yep okay um and then well let me just back up Miss CH did you need me to repeat that the first sentence that's going to replace what's there please okay uh let's see if I can remember what I said said um students will follow classroom rules with respect to
041use of water bottles so that'll replace the first sentence that's there and just formatting on that next page food must also if we could use bullet points to be consistent with the layout of the rest of the policy instead of numbering that and that's all I got leing oh that first sentence do is everyone okay with underwater consumption the district encourages increased consumption of water there or consumption of water throughout the day what henkins yeah just a question um it does it say in there Mrs Levy that only water can be in these containers is it spelled out um it is not explicitly no but if you take it in the context of the rest of the policy any food or beverage outside of lunch is supposed to follow these rules so I guess technically
042it wouldn't need to be water if they are following the other guidelines that are in this policy but who's I I think we should leave that alone because no administrator no classroom teacher has the time or probably even the interest of policing that for example I'll use Madison cuz she won't mine she has a circle so it's not clear it does have a secure cap but it has the cartridge where you can do flavored water so I I think we should just stay out of that just my two cents and I agree with you but I think it should be stated that there are things that should not be in that water bottle and why should we call it a water it's a liquid container then I know we're getting into a gray area and
043it gets deeper deeper but I know there's certain things we don't they'll say well it didn't say I couldn't have this in there I hear your point I would stick to water bottle because of that first sentence under water consumption um is that that's what we're encouraging what a student konic also says what they you know it can't be Under the Influence can be you know so it'll it's covered there too yeah um I I have a suggestion on the close to what you said board member Le but how about if we say the school district of boy encourages increased consumption of water throughout the day I think we give just I know it's it potatoes potatoes but or tomatoes Tomatoes but anyway okay I'd like to suggest that uh Mrs Mr show did you
044get that okay I'm trying to talk it in the mic for you thank you okay I move approval of policy 760 rule 2 student nutrition guidelines to the full board for a first reading a second any discussion hearing none all those in favor say I I I I I approved to move to the full board uh for the first reading and the next policy is policy 761 Wellness I will open that for discussion I believe my question was answered thank you okay for leaving anything okay so Mrs Smith we're just we're just adding the the all foods sold outside pop paragraph and then the the U and then nondiscrimination nondiscrimination Clause okay this is a Rel relatively new policy too yeah so that does help actually I apologize I do have one question um you
045joged my memory what about um food fundraisers so that was that candy bars and things like that that are sold during the school day that may not comply is there an exemption for fundraisers two per two per um event so if it's and so we did have to update that with with the high school and Emily did a great job she she has the exempt form and so there are two that can happen for each event I guess Club so Club yeah or organization so um the day that we were audited they were trying to sell candy bars to the DPI so that was a little bit but you know it does happen but they they've been pretty good so um but she updated that policy and that was already sent to DPI thank you
046for M henkins thank you Mr leev you jack my memory um food trucks and not not our district owned ones but during the football season I I've seen a food truck parked in the parking lot whose jurisdiction does that fall under and does the district see any proceeds from that or not that I'm aware of so who gives them permission so you say you saw a food truck in our parking lot during the football game yes sir I I would need to know what food truck that is we it was a Mexican yeah it it is happening for um Athletics so I would need to speak with Mr Gratz around the approval around that process but typically there is an approval for that I agree I was just wondering who gave them there a license
047that they need to they need to get a license because if we like we're at the library we have to pay for a license to be at the library so if we have our food trucks there so yeah there is a license that they need it's just like when we have our opening day opportunities uh sometimes I'm not talking about the district's Food Service this is in direct competition with the uh cafet or the vending coming out of you know the the PTA or PTO who's ever doing that and I'm just wondering whose guidance they are falling under um as far as nutrition and selling to the public on school grounds they're probably just showing up that guys will fall under our guidelines that we currently have for food services so typically during football games
048or basketball games um it's a little different because it's after the Food Service workday booster clubs exempt correct so cuz it's after the Food Services I hate to say work dat but Food Services time frame so then it becomes more of an exempt space for like what type of foods we want to serve during that time frame well I think someone's missing my point I understand that the uh vending service going on inside Jacobson field but I'm talking about in our parking lot that they and I'm all for food trucks love them but are they whose jurisdiction do they fall under that'll be our jurisdiction because we're allowing them to be on our property but you just said you didn't know that no I I didn't say I didn't know I said that had to
049be approved through us okay that's what I was wondering and uh does anybody do they charge rental or they just park and go typically there's a kickback on you know how to say Kickback typically there's some form of compensation for when they are on our property and selling and it's particularly based off of like how much they're selling so let's say they sold I don't want to give you speculation about 100 100 hamburgers and sold for $2 we get back 25 cent on a hamburger something like that I just know that recently that uh these vending operations were under the microscope and this kind of fell into that prview thank you okay I think we have someone in the room that can help us out here Mrs Evans do you have some knowledge of this
050and might have some knowledge of this and thank you so regarding the food trucks there were two during football season have no idea one was a Hispanic one the other one was a African Amic one American one both of them were not from booy they were from Jamesville the African-American one I went and ask the lady because to me that was competition with the booster club and we raised money for scholarships for the school so I was kind of upset I did send the email to Dan but I went and asked her and she said some lady she didn't even know the lady's name contacted her and asked her would she be willing to um do the football game and she parked along that swimming area right there um I asked her was she being
051going to pay a fee um you know was there some kind of fees um paid and she said no so of course the booster we were kind of upset because we know where our money go to and people were allowed to leave out of the football games to um buy concessions which usually want you come in the games you cannot leave so I know it happened twice during football season thank you that is exactly my point thank you for the information we appreciate that we'll leave that in your capable hands Dr Garrison so okay any other discussion could I have get a motion I move approval of policy 7 61 Wellness um as edited to the full board for a first reading I'll second any further discussion hearing none all those in favor say I
052I I I motion carry move to the full board for first reading point of order or clarification were there any additional changes made or just what was already in the just what was proposed by the administration thank you sorry okay okay um so um I uh I could uh I could use a motion to to move these to the next policy committee meeting I move to table items uh 2A and 2B to our April policy meeting I'll second any further discussion hearing yeah oh okay P member leave me so here's my concern I'm concerned that Mr grz is not here I'm concerned that this is the second month we're having this conversation and I suspect but I would love to be wrong that not every person in leadership in a booster club in the district
053of which we have several has been given this policy for their input because that's critical it does not make sense to pass a policy that booster clubs need to be governed by and they had zero input in the creation of the policy for example it was shared with me that that when the policy starts it talks about hold on let me grab it be compliant with Wisconsin booster club guidelines um now it was shared with me that there are currently no booster club guidelines established by the state of Wisconsin and that that had been verified by WIA so Mr gr should be here to explain those discrepancies and I'm very disappointed that we're prepared to have this conversation and he's not here for month two thank you board member Levy um any other any other
054discussion no I just very much concur with Mrs Levy I'm disappointed myself yes I concur uh this is uh this is it this is this is not good so anyway all those in favor say i i i i motion carried we'll table these till the April 2nd policy committee meeting can I make one notation I heard what you said Mrs Levy but I did want you to know that um I was given a cross reference to add that is about Wisconsin booster club guidelines and requirements from Mr Gratz from um after the last meeting and I didn't know if you saw that that had been added maybe you did maybe you didn't I don't know but it was that was added to the policy that was on the um agenda for tonight so that attachment
055had that addition to it just wanted you to know that is it a live link so we can view that document it is if you have trouble getting there let me know but it's I he sent it to me I went to the link and I recopied it and then put it in as a link on the cross reference and I don't want to belabor the point but what is the parent booster USA and is that I'm not saying that they're not I am ignorant in this area but this isn't DPI this isn't WIA like what reason do we have to follow parent booster USA guidelines I don't know who they are and we are we kind of still in discussion or we are I just want to make sure I don't you know so
056Mr grass wasn't able to be here I do know why he was not able to be here there was a SLC um meeting that I'm sorry a Southern Lakes Conference um what's it called a want to call like a ranking conversation um and he was supposed to be back by now unfortunately that meeting did go over and that's why he's not here however the to answer your second part of your question I don't want to make any excuses for um not being able to answer the first question that you asked Mrs Ley when you asked have other booster have other boosters reviewed the policy that was your that was your first question I have asked Mr grass that question and he says yes to that to that space now if he's not here to defend
057that space I don't want to get into that space at all so that's why I didn't answer you know until after I got clarifi no I completely understand that but we have a booster club President right here it's up to chair yes so I want to I just have a few things to say um um Dr Garrison that's incorrect because he didn't even inform me I heard I'm here because of um I heard about these meetings from someone else haven't even Dan has not even talked to me about any of this I've just been showing up on my own so I've never seen the proposal from Dan um or anything and I was seeing Dan you know I'm at every football game back I mean excuse me basketball game two and three games a week
058he has not shared any of this with me I came prepared to talk about the booster club and some of the the things in the proposal and I know this isn't the time but um are kind of ridiculous and I did call the WIA myself as recently as Monday they said the schools set up their own guidelines for the booster club they have nothing to do with WIA and I've been the booster club president at the high school for 10 years we've never had a problem we have our own 503c we have our own raffling license everything and I have all documents here so I'm not sure why um Dan isn't here but I just want to say that he hasn't even talked to me about it I just been showing up the last two
059months thank you I have a I have a question did you all the documents that you just said you filed the 501c3 and etc etc did you do that through parent booster USA no no did I do it from booster USA parent booster us that's the link where this no uhuh um I just we just did it on our own um David Wilson was our booster club president when he left and resigned I was voted in so I've been the booster club president and like I said I have everything we have our own bylaws everything okay thank you thank you for what you do thank you any other discussion hearing none all those in favor of of uh tabling until the April second meeting say I I I motion carried we'll move these back to
