001Oh, yeah. >> Mhm. >> [snorts] [clears throat] [laughter] >> Oh, that looks nice. I like it. Huh, nice. Yeah. >> [cough] [clears throat] [snorts] >> Yep. >> [laughter] >> All right, I'm going to call them. Uh, all members are present at the time. Uh, next up is our board financial audits. Um, yeah, I just uh, I asked them to bring up the invoice for the high school and floor mats that were put in because I don't have any of the numbers. That could just be my memory. And uh, the rafts there was two invoices which totaled 4150. 4,150. And my second question, which she was trying to find me that was how much had the board that we allowed to for the district to spend without our consultation. >> [snorts] >> And she brought up
002a one of the policies that says anything that's over $15,000 needs to have three appraisals but and I, like I said, I couldn't remember what we had okayed and I was just curious and and what she said she was going to look into more and try to find this back and all. I thought it was five. I thought it was five. I thought it was five and a half dollars. I [clears throat] kind of I thought it was 10 but I am not like I said, my memory is not the best. She She didn't She couldn't pull up last year or anything so she was going to look it up and send me an email. I was just trying to see if I got the answer to my question. I was looking at the policy.
003Yeah, I did. Um, so there is some invoices from December 18th for Scholar Buy. There's two of them. One's for $19,000 and the other one is $4,950. The first one is for the laptop covers for the teachers and then the second part of it is for the Google Workspace program that That was that and then some Amazon um purchases from 12/31 anytime. I had one for $1,600. Looks like it was some tables and such for the space and then there was some office supplies and art classroom had some supplies. I also had um, transition skills for the coffee shop on there as well. That was great one. Great. Next we have um, the state board convention that we went to that was Derek and I sure can. It was a worthwhile trip. First time being
004there so um, got to be a part of that trip. The main thing there That was good. So they had issues with a lot of couple weeks couple weeks uh, functions in regards to the charter school versus public schools. And uh, a lot of the votes actually have been like 173 to 100 so not a lot of not so unanimous votes which I actually thought there'd would be more of Uh, but it also tells us that yeah, actually don't send a representative So it was a good thing. So I can send those votes or what basically chose to class people represent The only thing I say is there was that app and in that app you can view the slides that a lot of folks presented on. So there were three or four sessions on
005referendum. That would be helpful for everybody to watch on their own time. Um so thanks for staying sure. I'd be happy to send that out to everybody. Okay, so I'll just send that out. Um this stuff is important. I'll just kind of pick it up where Derek was talking about the referendum. Sure. You know, most schools up in the side of the map have had or will have or are currently under an operating referendum. Um so there's lots of opportunities for uh breakout sessions to learn about that that process. And uh I did quite a bit of that. Um I think we all did. Um just to you know, kind of get ourselves geared up for that probable eventuality here. Um you know, good information out there said and uh you know, I think our
006team is they're doing the right things. Um It's you know, the right the timeline is right. Everything so far is so good. Um That was good. Um Often times the some of the best parts of these conferences are getting to talk with our fellow uh board members and colleagues from around the state. Um and that was the case again uh last week. Not only other board members from around the state but uh also our our team here. We had some some nice uh conversations in the car. Talk about school and thoughts and philosophies on things and it's always just a nice little nice little trip to get to know one another and you know, talk about schools, too. Most certainly and and like as things like you said, every there was a lot of a
007lot of sessions the operating referendum and one of the things that um you look at the operating expenses is that you know, what to to find out that your staff is you know, with the inflationary rate CPI out there that teachers and the staff are actually not doing very well in their salary schedules. And so it's good to go and look at that and then the fact also that there aren't very many not as many people going into education. So one day one way you guys were talking about it yeah, there were 904 open positions throughout the state. And so to some of the stuff I also listened to was in reference to you know, getting good quality teachers and retaining good quality teachers. So if you're also going to do that, you also have
008to look at the pay scale and the pay scale. So I mean with this our possible operating referendum teachers and education and staff compensation and that's it's been a challenge but it would be quite a bit of a deal with. And you guys working with looking at stuff like that to try and bring that up. Take that into consideration what stakeholders you have involved in those types of things. Always a good conference. We didn't have any bad weather. So that was kind nice. We didn't have to drive through anything. >> [snorts] >> So good drivers. I got to sit in the back seat. One only random question. One red light? Yeah, chuck chuck one chuck one run every ice fight competition. >> [snorts] >> I just thought Derek was trying to drive like the Milwaukee
009and Stahners. They thought we were local. He just I mean they really don't stop. They just go right through them. They're [snorts] like two minutes early. So I just thought Derek was mimicking one of those. All right, but it was good. It's a good event. So if anybody gets an opportunity to go, you really should take that take that opportunity. All right, next up is the approval of the agenda. I want to take a motion for the approval of the agenda. We got E. 1E. Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go to item E. Yep. Board policy 3000. >> [snorts] >> So this is an updated you know, thing from Neola. And I know that um you had talked to Patrick on some of that. I had kind of checked in but you seemed like you were
010in on a little quicker than I was. Yeah. Yeah, well the one I just had was down 3120.05 but it was around driver's education. And the students who come to this district And the reason I brought that forward is there's been some other conversation I had with Jake provide more clarity on driver's education and Yeah, just we're running into some firewalls here within the district whether uh students that are in our city. And so I thought it would be helpful to provide clarity here. So it's nothing that we can actually do anything with um but just wanted to bring Well, it'll be on the March agenda and we can talk about it before on how we want to handle that. What number was that, Derek? It was uh 3120.05. 3120.05. Which is the same thing.
011Are we getting uh all these individuals asking to vote on our driver's ed program or what? We've had a couple kids that have uh inquired about it that are open enrolled students, not our students. So that's where it comes up where they feel they find it cheaper to go here than go either through the tech school or through the school that they're open enrolled to. So these these these students they don't have um driver's education in their class structure through their school. In the area that they reside in? Correct. It's offered to them because if they're in the district uh then surely they have the program offered whether it's uh like um where I would Cumberland has it um outside of school but they offer it and that's through the Northwood Tech. Yeah. So um
012not too many schools have it No. in high school in Wisconsin. Very few in Wisconsin now and the couple that have come I've come across or that have come through it's very much like that. It's more expensive going through the tech or something or contacting you know, a couple of the smaller things have it through um Menomonie has a couple of Dunn County. private. Yeah, Dunn County things like that and it's a little more expensive. Through here it's very reasonable. So we just need to put the specificity in in the in the Right. policy. It'd be good to have that clarity for whoever he's interested or maybe say we don't have that so. Yeah, that's right. So if anybody else is doing it and other districts aren't then it's Is it depending if it has
013to do it or liability has to do it at this point? So Baldwin has an online program that anybody can from any district can use. Uh and it's like $90 $99 for just the class but then you have to have the driving parts from whatever wherever you go. That's the only thing. I mean I don't know. I I talked to Jake briefly about that. I don't know if that works like I'm not really interested but I don't know. That's the only thing I know that's Um one thing that's important is heading with the class of opportunity. The class during the day for the actual you know, like that one's an online so it's a little more flexible and >> um Jake used to >> Jake used to >> um offer >> the morning times, >>
014you know, so there was a little more flexibility in the summer hours and like that for the class times. So there's a lot of different opportunities there. lot of different opportunities >> Do you want that on the next meeting? Please. Okay. Well, and then here is the same Jake says he doesn't really have time for the students he has so not sure if you want to open up that can of worms first, Jake, without having this discussion on that tonight. I don't think there'd be a lot of kids but um it's and I think he only teaches one class during the summer, correct? So some of those kids, you know, they have to wait wait a while, too, if they they can't you know, if they're older kids in the class and all they can't
015take the class so you try to work it out where I know in other places they'll have it like two times a year they'll offer it. So if it's online then you know, it's not a big deal. Right. Anything else on that topic? All right, now can we move to the agenda? We'll move the agenda. Call your regular meeting. >> [laughter] >> Let's do it. All right, I'll entertain a motion to approve the agenda as presented. So moved. Motion made by Chuck. Do I have a second? Second. Seconded by Steve. All those in favor say aye. Aye. All those say no. Motion carried. Next up is our open forum. Time frame this is for community members and community members. Okay. It's not on this agenda. Yeah. We talked about the policy review and all that
016type of thing. I don't know how we do email conversation with all the board members and all. We can do Okay. The other thing that I had is that the speaker is still >> not moving into the new crystal taping. >> It's kind of hard to hear. Oh, they can still hear me >> Oh, they can still hear me >> typing? >> I I don't know how the >> I don't know how the speakers You just got that now? No? It's kind of inconsistent, though. Mhm. Somehow we need to dance around And the microphone should be up there. Speaker logistics. How many people online are on the video line? You mean microphone logistics? Yeah. Whatever. Okay. Speakerphone? Speaker. Yeah. Microphone. I apologize. I confused something there. Okay. All right. Next up is our consent agenda.
017Are there any items on the consent agenda that anybody needs clarification or would like them to be removed for further discussion? The only thing that I was kind of confused by was the sharing of the Spring Valley. Yeah, the 6603 agreement? Yeah, where it was like a 20% share, but then we're charging 2 days a week of mileage. Or was there clarification like are they are they going one day a week? No, it's two half days. So she Okay. Yes. That way if there's two students if there's Yeah. Anybody else have any questions or need any items pulled from the agenda consent agenda? If not, I'll entertain a motion to to approve the consent agenda as presented. So moved. Motion is made by Steve. Do I have a second? I'll second. Second by Chuck. Any
018further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed say no. Motion carried. Next up is our administrative reports. Erin, you're first on the list. All right. An update on child care numbers, which will be wonderful in a little while here. Tiny Tots have has 21 enrolled full-time students with seven families on the waitlist. Four of those families will be starting in March. And that is those four families will be going in the 6 weeks to 1-year age group. At Tiny Toppers, there are 38 enrolled. 26 of those are in the 3-year-old to 4-year-old program. Or in the 3-year-old to 4-year-old group, and then 12 are in the 4K group. Two more families have inquired, but there's no confirmation in within that. And then for the Hilton Head time and their group, there's
01986 enrolled. The AM averages 25 to 30 students, and the PM averages 35 to 40. That's on your open days like when we don't have school, how many do you have? Average about 50 to 60 generally I think And we have a field trip, the number is higher. Typically. But yeah. Luckily on our day that we had to close last Monday when we lost power, luckily there was not that many on that cold and no power day. Luckily there was not very many phone calls. A lot of them were the teachers, staff, student or staff kids and everything like that. So but those numbers continue to people you know, it's a good thing and they continue to grow and we have been progressing through with that whole job. So As you can tell by the
020pictures, there's lots of fun things happening constantly. So she does a wonderful job and we continue to do great things. Um When the weather is nicer they come over to visit. I know one of Jamie's favorite things is when there's little ones rolling down the hallway and although it's that great those great things. So It's just a wonderful program that continues to make everybody smile and it may be a very busy place and when you're walking through you can definitely hear the happiness and the kids playing. It may look like chaos, but that's one of the things that I absolutely love about it because you walk in and you see the I don't know I don't even know the tumbling mats and everything all over because they're building and they're playing and you just know
021that they are having the best time and that's the way it should be. Um moving on, I think it goes hand in hand child development day. Um Darla is a wonderful person and has you know continued to add right to our chart there with that graph. We started in she started collecting that data and put it together from 2019 all the way up to this year's. We had attending um this year 30 and the child development day number was 40. So we'll wait to see what that comes for for our 4K enrollment for the fall. But as always the parents filled out that ages and stages questionnaire. Um I think our most prevalent this year a definite increase was speech and language needs. And I think we will continue to see that need increase. Jamie
022will stop to visit and we see and hear that need across the board. But knowing that and knowing where we're at is just one of those things and that's why we do this. We want to be able to identify those students, but also seeing and meeting those families with little bodies coming in to get to know the room and get a first meet to list some of those staff if those aren't in there. We also had um the open enrolled in students coming in. Some of them came in, some were already in Best Program kind of know a little bit but identifying those students, getting to meet them and their families is always a great thing. So we had those 30 families coming in. We had two actually sick. Some were out on vacation. It
023happens every year as you can tell by the numbers. But enrollment for the fall always comes up and we end up with a good number each year. Um next on mine is mental health services. Um it actually fits right in because um I got an email the other day of We have a more enrollments coming in. Can we increase our days? So right um as of last week they were scheduled Mondays through Thursdays and kind of here all day. We leave a few minutes in between each session usually about a 15-minute chunk because sometimes that time goes over, sometimes they walk students back, sometimes they need to take some notes. So they um wanted to increase to Friday mornings also. We already filled up three more spots on Friday morning. So last year we had
02433 referrals with 21 students scheduled. That means maybe it just wasn't a good fit. Maybe the parents didn't sign the permission paperwork. That's or they're already receiving outside services, something like that. This year we had 16 continuing students from those 21 students scheduled last year. 23 new referrals and my new number because I actually had two more scheduled this afternoon and one late last week. 35 students scheduled this year receiving that Rolling Hills support. Um which is a wonderful thing and we hope to continue that and maybe later on we'll have to extend it into Friday afternoons also. But it's great to have that um bit there for um students. Um it just really reinforces our commitment to that overall overall wellness for all of our students and getting them any need that they may
025have. Sometimes it has to do with anxiety, depression, sometimes it even has to do with homework and being confident enough to do some of those skills or having the confidence to speak in front of a class. They talk about all sorts of different things. Um and it's always fit love. If they don't feel like talking that day, they might try to do it through something else, playing a game or even working with Play-Doh, sand, all of those stuff, listening to music. It just depends on the day and the student. Um and since we haven't done a board report for a while, I'm going all the way back to October and vision screening when the Glen Hope Lions Club conducted a spot vision screener for all elementary students including Tiny Toppers and Tiny Tots. And I
026think even Beth was impressed that they were able to screen those littles with a spot vision screener. So There was a total of 329 students and I'm not leaving out middle school or high school. We just usually ask if there's any concerns that the teachers have about any students that they may see squinting or even students that have glasses that sometimes you can tell like maybe the glasses aren't up to snuff anymore. So we get all those students in. Out of 329 students, there was 33 referrals sent home to families. So as always Tren and the whole Lions Club do a wonderful job coming in and helping out with that. Um the flu vaccine clinic. This is always a busy time trying to get everybody in, but there was not as many students that came
027through. I do need to find the numbers from last year and I believe that may have gotten tucked away with Tammy last year. So I need to talk between Tammy and Tren and find some of that information. Um but 24 students this year on November 5th were administered the flu vaccine and then with that was with St. Croix Public Health and then we also collaborated Miss Humphrey collaborated um with the same day with Western Wisconsin Health and they provided flu and COVID to staff and their families that were interested. So, 15 flu vaccines and seven COVID vaccines. Next year we're going to try to time it a little bit differently so it's later afternoon and later early afternoon and early evening for them to try to space it out. We're usually doing it over lunch
028time so that staff can come in during lunch but then maybe try to reach out to others too. Um we have an opportunity to do a free vaccination clinic with the same staff from St. Croix County and Western Wisconsin Health. They actually received a grant along with Pierce County that's hosting a free vaccination clinic. Um so we are going to reach out for all uninsured children um including those who are American Indian and Alaskan Alaska Native. Um that would cover all the school vaccinations for those like all the new immunization records. You think of going in and getting all your immunizations as a kid that would cover all those immunizations. So Miss Humphrey is after everybody who needs immunization records and this would cover everything. So alleviating any of those barriers to those families that
029have a hard time sometimes getting to the doctor and getting all those immunizations. This would be a clinic that would provide all of those and they'll come like to GC do that. So she is going to coordinate to get all that information in but Western Wisconsin Health and Public Health will provide all the communication out to the families for that um and we were able to come up with a May 1st date for that. So hopefully we'll get a nice turnout. Um if we don't get a big turnout though it might change that a little bit but I'm hoping people get a pretty good turnout. That was a lot of information some back dated a little bit. Any questions or any comments on any of that? Miss Faith. Mhm. Looking at the bar chart Yeah.
030The red bars the kids that each qualified to participate in the child development day so that's kind of that total population. The blue then are the kids or the children that participated in the day. So they're not a subset of the red I assume. And then there's the yellow bar that says those that have enrolled in for next fall. Mhm. And the yellow bars are higher than what So does that indicate that there's a lot not participating in the child development day yet still coming to enroll? I usually get about four calls that say there's nothing I'm I have no concern. I have four to five calls each year. I have no concerns I don't need to bring my my child in. Um I also have some like we have some that are in the
031early childhood program already identified and they don't want to come. We have I had two on the list that were on vacation and then we always have probably five anywhere from five to 10 that move in or that we have no clue about that come in over the summer. So if there's a big growth usually each time. This last year was the first time there wasn't a huge growth. Yeah. That's good. 2020 to 2021 didn't go up but that's still Mhm. Yeah. No that's good. Yeah. One of my favorite parts is like being able to go through we have the checklist of everything like they're able to do this they're doing this they what the best thing is when they walk away from their parents and they're so excited to go in the room and
032play and there's no tears there's nothing and they love it and they're going walking in with their friends and all of that stuff. It's just the best thing ever. And they don't want to leave. They want to stay at school. Any other questions? Of the uh I'm just trying to find the year. Mhm. Of the that signed up for 2024 25 um did all 38 go into our kindergarten program? I do believe so yes. Um I had one stay back I think. I No EC no sorry that was an early childhood student that wasn't yet ready to go to 4K. She was they were still young enough to stay in 4K. All of them went to unless they were I'm trying to think of the list. I'd have to look at the list for kindergarten
033but I think all of our ones even the open enrolled in one stayed for kindergarten. What is your point for saying Mhm. I'm assuming they stayed in district too. Yeah. And they don't go somewhere else. Right. Right. I think any of our 4Ks that were like open enrolled in stayed for kindergarten. I don't think they left after. Mhm. Good. Yeah. All right. So right before Christmas we did our winter assessments for FastBridge and AIMSweb for Act 20. Um typically for that I normally wait till January and I've done that for years and years for the winter benchmark but I did open it up this year. Um it actually went very well. I was kind of nervous with the scheduling with Christmas and everything but it was nice to have that done before break instead of
034right when they came back. Um so then what that allowed us to do is that first week back that we had staff and students we were able to have our grade group meetings and go through all that information. Um so from there um if you click on the link that I have for the ES growth on there it shows those growth marks that the students had according to typical growth aggressive growth um is it not working on yours? Oh yeah. Oh sorry about that. I'll do that for you. Um and we could pull it up here because I don't have names on it. Um You could click on it. Um but I'm pleased to say like according to like excellent growth um as far as FastBridge and AIMSweb I had 199 students make that excellent
035growth which is huge for that was for reading and for math. Um and with the kiddos what we're just trying to do none of you can. Okay. I'll fix that. Sorry guys. >> [laughter] >> She's told you that imagination. You do. Um but I want you to see the data because it's really good. Uh we're moving in the right direction which was good. It was kind of like a big relief to sit in those meetings we go line out of line out of every student and we look at this is the beginning score of fall this is where they're at now. Granted that's my biggest push down there is seeing growth. Some are going to go at a faster rate some are going to go at a slower rate. Some of them might not make
036benchmark yet and that's okay but as long as we see them growing and progressing. Um so Do you see the growth like it's skewed to the population that needs the most growth? You know I know we're kind of Say that again. Do you see the growth kind of skewing to the population of students that need the growth to catch up to baseline? Kind of yes because your my high level ones and those are the ones that I have to be careful with where they're already in the 98th percentile right? They can't grow any farther. I mean they can but it's it's going to be harder so their growth is going to look a lot different right? But again we want to make sure that that scale score is still going up but their percentile growth
037still might drop a little bit. But again it's trying to focus on all the kids and not just the certain ones my super low ones my super high ones it's making sure that each of those kids are trying to make it what they need to with that growth. Um so after the grade group meetings that's when we then have our data analysis meetings with our interventionists so Laura Jackler Morgan Shelton Shayna Hoffman um and we make sure that the services those kids are getting in tiered interventions are appropriate are intensified if we need to we need to change it up. So basically again looking at even more data information to make sure what we're doing is kind of really making a difference for those kids. In the report that you do have access to you
038can see the numbers of those intense interventions that we have. The 18 students that are receiving academic support those are our students that we're providing pull up like title one services but they're not quite where they're having to have intense interventions for the RTI process. So again it just shows which of those kids are getting additional instruction outside of their reading and math of what they're already getting in the classroom. Um from there you'll see >> I back up? Yeah. Explain I'm familiar with FastBridge and Okay. Yeah. I don't know what AIMSweb plus is. Is that a just a similar type of Yeah. So that's for Act 20. So remember Act 20 had a certain requirement that they said everybody in the state had to use. A huge percentage of most of the state was
039already using FastBridge. Mhm. Um but they went with AIMSweb for Pearson next a different testing company. So we have to kind of do both okay? Because we have to stick with a district wide assessment so we can compare the students from year to year and then we have to have our K3 assessment for Act 20 which by the law states it has to be done with AIMSweb plus. Yeah. Now that rings a bell. Thank you. >> You're welcome. So um and this would to be our second year with the AIMSweb web requirement for Act 20. So, that's only goes through third grade. Um then next we have personal safety units. That's something that we are going to be starting um within our life skills class that Payton Miller does. So, you can kind of see
040the breakdown there of what would be covered K2, 3-5. It's just basically emotional awareness and self-protection, um setting and enforcing boundaries and seeking seeking help from trusted adults. So, we have put out information to parents letting them know that these are the things in the bullets that we're going to be talking. So, right in front of you breaks down each chapter of what it is, very surface level stuff, but just kind of um covering the personal safety part. This is something that has not been done for our kiddos in the past. So, as we're just trying to make sure that they have all the information and well-rounded that they need. This was a part of it. So, again, if parents do not want to have their kids involved in that, they just let us know
041and then they'll have an alternative activity for that. Special education schedules is something that we've taken a look at. Um Aaron and I sat down with the special education department of the elementary and we made sure that all of the needs and services for our students were being met and that we were really utilizing our paraprofessionals to the best of how we should be um with the teaching and working with the kiddos that way. So, we set some time to do that. The special education department has said has said back sorry at the changes that kind of thrown at them and said, "Okay, let's look at it this way. Let's take a look at this." So, I really appreciate um what we're doing for those kids. Also, um another Act 20 piece they have put
042out um early literacy coach um that are going to be available in our CESA 11 region. It's going to be three full-time uh early literacy coaches available. So, through that there's an application process, a grant process. So, given where we are at the elementary school some of our academic needs, I'll take all the help that I can get. So, um myself and who we have contracted Melissa Herrick, our reading specialist, we have her contracted for a few days this year. Her and I have been working on that application. That grant's due on Friday. Um it's even though there's three in the CESA 11 region, it's going to go on highest level of need and everything with that and your application. So, we'll see. I'm hopeful um that we at least get a part-time [clears throat]
043para out of it um and then you can kind of see the different things of what that grant would allow us to do. It does not allow any instruction of students. I did look at that cuz I was like, "Ooh, I would always love somebody else to teach the kids." But, it's more of that coaching with teachers, making sure all of my programs and structures in the building are set up like they could to leverage the most for our kids. So, it's only going to be an extra set of hands if if you were to get that granted, but um I will keep you guys posted on that. And then parent involvement and open library nights is something that has been started um by Angela Williams, Shayna Hoffman, Lara Draxler, and Morgan Shelton um to
044try to get parents in here and excited. And the first night they were troopers. Um it was kind of last minute with getting the word out and that kind of stuff. So, there was only a few kids, but each time that they have it, more and more kids are showing up, which is awesome. Kids are hearing about it and wanting to come. So, the next one is February 2nd and then they have one planned for March 2nd. And they have activities that go along with it to kind of entice uh families to come in. So, do you have anything else for or any questions? Junction Well, I was just thinking I um I I remember hearing somewhere saying like you can give away books to kids and that's great, but you have to get their
045parents involved and somehow and and and and I think we do a really good job of giving things away and getting kids to interested in reading and excited about reading, but we need exactly this type of thing to get whole families excited about reading Yep. and passionate about reading or to see the importance of it. Absolutely. >> So, as with anything like this that is is new to to get that going is I just I don't want any meeting to be discouraged. >> gosh, no. No, and it was funny like the first night um there was a lot of kids here for like I don't know if it was basketball or wrestling, some of them elementary kids. And they'd walk by like, "Oh, what's going on?" And then pretty soon they were in the library
046with their families, you know? So, and then again by the second one, um I wasn't able to make either one of them. Hopefully the ones in February February I will, but um they said the amount of people that came even from the first to the second one had already increased. And again, that's something I'm trying to put like I put it in my even know, communication, trying to get it out, trying to get the word out. We put flyers home in backpacks. So, again, once they get that establishment already, it's starting to kind of grow with that. So, yeah. Uh for that early literacy coach, do you know when you'll find out if we They don't tell you. They haven't told us that yet. Not that I can see and it's funny just like with
047the Act 20 stuff, it changes constantly. Um so, I don't there isn't uh notification date yet or anything like that. Like I said, it's due this Friday. Some of the early stuff that I see with the Act 20 stuff that I read, it says that these could go into effect in early spring. Okay. So, I was like that's great then. Yeah, but I'm like, oh, they have to do a lot. And then the other thing that we've talked about administratively is is even though CESA 11 is getting awarded three full-time people, they have to find them. And they have to be certified with a 317 licensure, which is the reading specialty license. >> Yeah. Not even the 316 that our staff has. So, again, it's finding those people. So, that's Yeah, but you're not going
048to find them. How are you going to get these people? Because then with CESA, it's only a two-year contract. So, to pull some other people from districts would be hard for them because then what do they do after year two? So, but again, I said to Patrick, I said, "Absolutely, it's something that it's only going to benefit if we can get it. So, let's let's put our hat in and see what happens." There are some targeted schools across the state of Wisconsin that are the highest level of need. I did ask around and I'm like, "Hey, is Baldwin City on that list?" Just because they're going to get uh awarded priority first. Um and they said that we weren't on that list, but they still said just still apply, still take the time and put
049in the application for it. So, I'm crossing my fingers. Okay. Yeah. >> [clears throat] >> Any other things for me? All right. Did you have anything else? All right. Um let's [clears throat] start off with uh Summit 58 update. Uh Aaron talked a little bit about the grant. I got Casey here, but she showed up. She's just waiting for her child to be done with basketball. So, thanks for being here. So, um the school store started off in the originated in the year 2000 with the transitional skill center. It was uh called Hats and Hands. Uh was not here back in the '90s when I was here. Um I want to let Casey want to go ahead and talk a little bit about it cuz they're You deep in it right now. A lot of
050things A lot of great things going on. Um the history of the store was that it started off with our transitional skill center um at the middle school there at the time. I was able at the time. They did all sorts of cool things like make spirit wear and shirts like we do now, but they also did wedding invitations, menus, flyers, etc. Um then I believe when Miss Carrie Hentz was here in my position when the school got shifted around a little bit and the office moved and the business classroom moved, that's when um business and marketing education took over the school store. Um and that's when it got its name Summit 58 for the 58 Glenwood City hill. Um we with the help of the grant have also added the cafe, which Aaron can
051speak a little bit more about the financial side of that, but basically uh we have expanded Summit 58 store to include a coffee shop. Uh the cafe is open before school and during homeroom for our high schoolers. Um the middle schoolers and elementary are not coming up to the high school during that period of time, but staff and students are welcome to come in and get an iced coffee, a hot coffee, muffins, cookies, and then we have all of the regular school store items such as our shirts, sweatshirts, um logo apparel, our Wisconsin Smart Snacks like our trail mix and our smart drinks and all of those. Uh the Summit 58 cafe will be used as a fundraiser opportunity. Uh we are going to be rotating the clubs and student organizations in Glenwood City that
052it will benefit. So, as you know, I'm a little biased cuz I'm with DECA. So, we said we'll go first uh while we're working out the kinks, but plus they're helping a lot. So, yeah, a lot a lot. Um so, every two weeks we will give another group the opportunity to rotate in where those students in that club can come in and help sell along with our special education students working on temp work and also getting in hours. Um getting some work experience. I believe FCCLA will be up after DECA. So, two weeks it will rotate to FCCLA. And I'm hoping the next group after that will be our art club. So, that's just a couple of groups coming out to an ideal. Um but we'll open it up to any student organizations in the
053school that could use some help fundraising. You got any competition? It'll likely happen eventually. Do you find a lot of uh you're getting a lot of use out of the money free coffee and yeah so we did our soft opening just on Thursday and it for being a soft opening and not having a ton of marketing out there I thought it was pretty successful. We allow staff to order online the morning of and our students will actually deliver whatever the staff member orders to the by 7:45 we'll have it delivered by 8:00. Nice. Yeah. So that's a little bit of an incentive but it also gives students a good opportunity to get use their communication skills. They have to make change for that staff member all that. So far so good. Mhm. Anything on the
054grant? Um so with the grant we were able to buy like ready state with the transition skills curriculum for Kim Munster and Julie White which is very nice and then indicator 14 actually buying all the general supplies so that's a cool outcome for all the students from the special ed students from the year before and then we Kim is actually the one that volunteers to do the indicator 14 each year. She does enjoy it because she contacts her previous her old students so her former students and does that and that gives us that those funds each year. So this goes back into that transition so it's feeding kind of feeding through. So each year we'll get that fund that will help fund that supplies for those transition skills which is very nice. Um but also
055that's kind of helping do that the rest of the funds are going through for technology on that piece for the transition skills. Um we are starting our special education students in this at the student rate for pay and also teaching them how to do the time sheets. Deb and I work together to kind of do an alter altered time sheet so that they are not putting it in some like our some of our typical ones they're actually going to be figuring out by hand which is kind of developing a little bit more skills. Um and then doing serve serve safe online for food handling um skills and also some fun things for them and serve safe is also paid through that grant process and um also a little fund for >> [laughter] >> Really cool
056program. Very impressed. Thank you Casey for um working with that. You got fundraising you got work experience for similar kids um and you got product if you want coffee something to eat in the morning so there's so many things so many pluses about it so >> [clears throat] >> that'll continue to grow. Um curriculum update this is from Dr. Curtis here. She's she she is a lot of professional learning PLCs things like that curriculum so as part of our continuing work to strengthen literacy outcomes at the middle school uh we're implementing new intervention and instructional supports aligned to our developing multi-level system of supports. Uh this winter teachers will utilize uh results from the fast uh literacy assessment to guide targeted instruction and intervention. During our WIN which stands for what I need intervention period
057students will participate in the Read 180 Flex uh working with their individual instructional levels to to strengthen foundational reading skills comprehension and fluency. In addition sixth grade classrooms will integrate Waggle an online ELA program that uh provides adaptive standards aligned practices and real-time feedback to support core instruction and reinforce skills address during intervention. Together these skills these tools will allow students to engage in personalized learning while teachers monitor progress and adjust instruction accordingly. Uh to further support this work we're also developing a formal student success team problem solving process that will provide a structured approach for reviewing data identifying student needs and coordinating uh timely interventions. Um that has been going I mean Dr. Curtis has done a great job with that getting the teachers working with them. She's she has so much knowledge and
058experience with that so we're blessed to have her um use her strengths there. Is that's my minor? High school we got a couple new courses that you're we're going to talk about some of the ag classes later but there's a new one that we'll we'll probably see down the road here. It's an opportunity it's called CASE. It's a Rose Gallus our ag teacher has an opportunity to receive free training to teach a new course called CASE. Um as a participant she is expected to pilot a class in the 2026-2027 school year. She'll need to apply and have her administrator administrator approval. We'll bring that to you. CASE is a curriculum for agriculture and science education. It's offering an investigating agricultural biotechnology curriculum and professional development for to provide teachers with the technical content and skills
059to prepare secondary students for plant biotechnology careers. The curricular resource will have two modules. The first one will focus on the technical skills and the second will focus on plant applications. The technical skill module will be field tested during the 25-26 year and the 26-27 school year. In addition to the curriculum revisions CASE will revise the program's professional development component so teachers will receive free uh training on new and innovative lab procedures and applications as they pass them on to their students. Uh this is going to be a really neat thing because there's so many awesome things with this curriculum that um and Rose is really excited about this so you'll hear more about this as I talk to you and we'll share that information with you. Um and then tonight here we got college
060college equivalency credit. We're asking for approval for three equivalency credit courses in the ag department large animal science small animal science and vet science. Uh large and small animal science were combined into one class previously and now will be split into two courses. Equivalency credit was that approved for the previous class and now will need additional approval by the board. Um vet science is a new course and then if you want to get on the D A G website you can see how the equivalency requirements are for Wisconsin school district so that information is all there. Um Jacob Maze has been working real hard working on the course offerings. We're already looking at next year's school uh uh course offerings and schedule. Uh planning and developing is is what we're working on right now. Um
061so thank you Casey for working on this and trying to get ahead of the game here as we look into next year. Honors band and choir Wednesday coming up uh there's going to be another 200 kids in our school here and we have credit for keeping them confined to the lobby and gym. >> [laughter] >> So um it'll work out. Mr. Landers isn't his first rodeo so um um him and his wife will take care of that and have everything organized. So they'll be in the gym lobby and band room. Uh the students will be back again on Saturday January 31st for a short rehearsal and then present the concert at 1:00 p.m. Concert is free open to the public so you're welcome to attend. And then we have some really cool things happening on
062the last week or so here. Middle school students that represent Waupun City in the all state uh choirs. On the 17th four students from Waupun City Middle School had the opportunity to participate in the Wisconsin Choral Directors Association All-State Choirs in Waupun over the weekend. There was over 600 choir students from across the entire state of Wisconsin and made up seven ensembles that performed. Students were selected based on nominations from music educators back in October. Uh between October and January the students and were expected to learn their music ahead of time with some help from their teachers. We have Avery Holden Autumn Larson Annabeth Pointer and they were part of the middle level choir and then Kennedy Supposing is how I pronounce it. Uh she was sixth grade was part of the children's choir so
063congratulations to to those students for representing our school and community with pride in such a large state so Mandy did a great job with those kids preparing and working with them. Uh one thing I wanted to share and you'll see it in my newsletter here why this place is kind of special very special. Uh every morning if you look out if you're parents drop kids off there's a teacher standing up at the door up there and opening the door for the kids greeting them as they walk through the door and then they get through the doors and then there's there's other teachers standing there drinking their coffee and saying good morning and welcoming them. That that doesn't happen in every district trust me. Um curriculum revisions? No. They're just doing it yeah. They're doing it
064out of goodness and they understand the importance of being present in the morning. Um every day teachers stand outside their classrooms welcoming students uh into the classroom. The way we greet students it doesn't matter. High fives fist bumps that that's that's my favorite. Hugs smiles that sets the tone for a lot of these kids. Uh we work very hard to make school a place where kids want to be because they know it's an opportunity for them to belong. And that is special. Small gestures like this like greeting kids as they enter a school or classroom can go a long way. Research published in 2018 found that when teachers welcome students at the door, academic engagement increases by 20%. And this type of behavior drops by 9%. So, it does matter. And I think my staff
065here always stand up for doing that cuz they don't have to do that. But it makes a huge difference. It builds those relationships and kids know that you know, people care about me. That they know they get a good start, they got a chance. So. I'm going to turn it back to Miss Tony who's going to talk about DECA. There's some good things going on. Yeah, so this year I got to pull my numbers. This year we have 23 registered DECA members for one of DECA. This is an increase from last year. Don't ask me the specific number from last year because I'm not sure, but I know it went up. We were also able to take 19 of those to the Emerging Leaders Conference in exactly Dallas, Texas, which is a huge number for
066us. We actually needed a bus this year. We've never needed a bus before. So, thank you to Jake Sporer for not only chaperoning, but driving our bus. And then we had 13 DECA members actually compete this year at the University of Texas at Austin. Competition is not required of my DECA members because some are in it for the social and community activities that we do. But I was very happy with all 13 students. They all participated extremely well. I was very impressed with all of their scores. And we actually have five individuals moving on to state competition for how well they did. May I just say their names? Yeah, give me their names. Yeah, I'll give Okay, so those five moving on will will be in the paper too. I submitted a photo to the
067paper. Those five individuals moving on were I I learned them in order. Brody Rebock, Clayton Hoffman, Hunter Wagner, Olivia Heath, and Jacob Hayner. So, those were the five students moving on. They are all competing in different events. Some of them are doing written projects. They are all doing role plays that have to do with the category that they competed at at district. So, we did extremely well. I'm very proud of them. And I also want to say thank you to volunteers from our community who actually showed up at state on January 10th to help judge and volunteer for the day. It's a very special day and we couldn't do it without them. So, thank When When is the Uh state will be in Lake Geneva on February 23rd. So, if anybody wants to drive all
068the way to Lake Geneva, I'm looking for volunteers for that as well. I'm very proud of these students. Uh student behavior report, one thing my task kind of help out with here this year was um you know student behavior was just a concern. It's been brought to my attention and stuff, but overall from the beginning of the school year till now, I think student behavior has really improved a lot. I think the changes we made to the student handbook and letting students come and go has been probably the major change we made for that. Teachers have appreciated the support, communication, and follow through. Um we will always have some behavior issues regardless, you know, but they really helped with developing brains and all that and make it safe. So, I think consistency has been the
069key to all this by minimizing the disruptions and disruptions in the classroom has obviously improved the learning environment. So, that's been good. The kids have been awesome. The teachers have been very supportive. There's follow through in the classroom. So, uh I couldn't be more proud of you know, all the kids have handled themselves and how they've responded and it's been great. So, just I don't have data for you to show you that, but I hope you trust trust us that >> [laughter] >> So, we haven't [clears throat] had any you know, expulsion proceedings here, so that's positive. Um Give them data. Give them access though cuz I did do the access. Okay, [laughter] I can do that. Um credit deficient students, you probably don't hear a lot of kind of you know, the things that
070kind of go over your head and see the credit deficient students graduate. I've been doing this for 20 years and some of the creative things that we've been able to come up with with kids just to get them an alternative of diploma, GED, or a path to GED. Um It's it's you know, it's it's encouraging and exciting to see kids finally get it at the end when they when they may be credit deficient, but um you know, a lot of times it's they're in circumstances that they put themselves in and the choices they make. And sadly sometimes it's circumstances out of their control. Um With the first semester just finishing up, we've got some students in that situation who may not have earned the credits they need to graduate, but why? Well, attendance, discipline, mental
071health, family issues, there's a plethora of reasons, but I want you to know that teachers, the counselors, the aides, the administrators are working with these students and the families. We set up meetings with them. We communicate with them. Sometimes we don't get that communication back, but we we work work at it to try to get them in position to earn something to earn an alternative diploma. Put together alternative schedules, things like that for them to have a chance to graduate. Some of the options that we've used or I've used over the years that we're using here, eCampus has helped cuz you know, somebody out in the day is always in a day to take classes, so they may have to take them outside of the school day. We've got hybrid schedules set up where we
072have kids in here part-time taking classes and then part-time online. GED prep online. This may maybe this may be their only option up there. Don't have enough credits. They they may have to be here for five years to finish. So, GED prep to try to help them get their GED. Uh of course we have the alternative diploma program where we have the state minimum number of credits, 21. We work with students on getting their core credits. And then we get we can get flexible with work with credits for some of the uh other credits that they need. Um Old school paper pencil packet, sometimes that works a lot better than giving them a computer cuz that sometimes they they wander. And then of course the work based learning and that's a good place for a
073lot of these kids learning on the job and getting credit for that as well. So, it then it then falls back on the student and the parents to follow through. We give all the support for all these students here at school if they need the help. We encourage that. And again in my 20 years I've seen some amazing turnarounds at the end and students do really productive things and then unfortunately seen some kids that aren't able to get their diploma, but we don't have a lot, but we have some students that put themselves in that position and we got some of the things that we end up doing to try to get them to the end. Uh eCampus update, quick summary. We use the Edgenuity. There's 45 students that took 86 courses first semester. Overall
074including other platforms like Wisconsin Virtual ECC, the 61 students were served in over 102 classes. There were six courses not completed, so students families had to pay for those because they didn't complete them. students took Spanish. Majority of the students were traditional, but 13 were hybrid or virtual. And one student did graduate by having this program. So, that was that was nice. And then finally I asked Jake Sporer to give me some information on uh an athletic update here. We're in the last month of the winter season. The update here I have for wrestling is they ended up with 29 total athletes. There were two female, 27 male, so good numbers. Four four events left including the Don Clay Conference Tournament. Sectionals will be in February 14th at Ladysmith. And then we did have a
075JV state champion this last weekend, Caleb Livingston. So, that was uh quite an honor. Girls basketball, we have 17 students all athletes. 11 games left. Regionals start February 24th. Boys, we have 20 20 boys out, 12 games left. Their regionals start on March 3rd. Middle school wrestling, 12 athletes, one female, five events left and they're done February 17th. Um middle school wrestling What we got here? Oh, middle school wrestling, 15 athletes. There's uh uh four in eighth grade, seven in seventh grade, and four in sixth grade. So, the numbers are a little lower there. Um Last event that's the 12th. I think this was supposed to be girls basketball. Maybe I have wrestling up here. Um There is a concern and I don't know if you've seen the letter, but Jake is concerned with the
076so many lopsided scores in the middle school with the basketball. 77 to one. There's been some really unfortunate um the way they handled the game as managed by some of the coaches and some of these other schools. Um So, that's been that's being addressed at the at the conference level. So, you may hear some more about that. Um And then plans of both of the youth programs and activities are being created with Frankie Berger and Jake taking lead on that. So, we're trying to get them together. Um getting our kids involved in these extracurriculars sometimes that's gives them purpose to be here, you know. And You know, it's been going really good. Dr. Christiansen and myself work well together, and fortunate to have have her involved. Any questions? Thanks, guys. Okay. So, it's the actual
077layouts. Here's a big one. We got our change jars. This is relocation presentation by Mr. Davis. Well, thank you for listening, first of all. Um so, I've been the coordinator of the program since the program started. Um currently, Tiny Tots, if you're not aware, that's our 6-weeks to 3-year-old program, is at Glen Haven. There's nothing This This presentation has nothing to do with anything that's happened at Glen Haven. This is strictly we feel the staff that have helped me give props to Leah Marks and Aaron Dennis. I mean, couldn't have done this without them all. Um bringing everyone here under one roof together, one program, not dealing with two separate programs. So, that's kind of what brought this about. Leah, Aaron, and I have talked this over a year ago. We've had conversations with Aaron,
078with Jamie. Lots of support we've had at the school. So, the presentation that we're going to look at is just going to kind of go over through for those of you that aren't familiar with the space, what the current hall we're currently using space, how we look at how we could potentially use the space if Tiny Tots were to come here. Again, nothing against [clears throat] Glen Haven at all. Mr. Olson, the director there, has been nothing but wonderful to us. So, this is not It's just giving It'd be wonderful to have everyone home. So, this is the biggest school How we started is the why. The students, having them all here. Supervision is more consistent. Provides stronger peer interaction and social development. It's just, again, having them all together. You know, the littles with
079the bigs, you know, and reaching out with Jamie. Reaching I mean, we can We There's just so many opportunities that we can bring in. You know, we can use our student workers. The kids just love them, you know. Um the staff would 100% help with staff-to-staff ratios. We are doing great. We have wonderful staff. We are fully staffed right now. Um but again, when two people call in sick, or when And then you're scrambling to know how are we going to cover it, and we can just kind of rotate ourselves around. Um the support of the school and the resources would be fantastic. I mean, we have all that in the near. We have custodial help here. We have maintenance help here. We have a nurse on staff here. We don't have any of that
080there. We're getting by. It's It's not that, but that would be such a huge thing for us here. And then, of course, the budget. And we'll look at the budget a little bit in more detail on the next page, but we will be saving some costs. Where Again, it's just all the programs under one roof would be fantastic. So, this is just when we sat down very originally and met with Mr. Olson, here's what we looked at. We looked at our pros and our cons, which we kind of adjusted our our cons to it's more challenges and how could we fix them. So, obviously, all the students and staff in one location we would Currently, we pay $2,000 a month at Glen Haven for the Tiny Tots program. We pay approximately $97 a month for
081our rug rental. And then, we're looking at about $120 a month for our phone and internet. So, that would all obviously dissolve if the program moved here under this building. Um that We're not really losing any space because the spaces here are equivalent to the spaces there. It's just how we relocate our program and how we move kids around. Um you know, we're trying to get the kids not to be afraid of school. So, to move into the, you know, age-appropriate, get ready for school. Um huge staff incentive. We do have a lot of staff that have kids in the program. And of course, this isn't a secret. Lots of staff have heard about that I was going to be at the board meeting tonight, and I've been approached by three staff that currently do
082not have their children in our program that would move their children here potentially in the fall if this goes through. Um a few of our challenges to be addressed. The meal preparation. We have, luckily, Alyssa happened to be walking by and we dragged her in. She is very confident that there's probably a program that we can use that she can provide our nutrition just like she does for our Tiny Tots program now. If not, we can use the commons kitchen, and we do have room in our rooms down downstairs that we could prepare, you know, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and you know, we're not going to be cooking. We don't have a stove, but we have a pizza oven. We have an air fryer. We do have appliances that we can use in our
083current space here. Um summer hang time was probably my biggest concern because that brings in more kids, but talking with Jamie um [clears throat] and with Mr. Olson, I There's spaces that we can use. And Jamie was more than willing to open up a couple extra classrooms if we just needed to break up the groups. Um we're looking at could we potentially I know we would always be last on the list if something else had again, but could we set like some gym time up? Like we always knew we could be in the gym on Mondays from noon to 2:00. And so, looking at other rooms we can use, we've always used the commons in the past, and from discussions, it sounds like that won't be a problem again. Um swapping out some doors, some
084soundproofing. Again, this doesn't have to be done for the relocation to happen, but this is an advantage we think would help. Um our outdoor play equipment. The equipment currently at Tiny Tots could come here. Um our drop-off and pick-up location. This would probably be like This is our biggest wish list item that we could potentially get our own entrance. Um Mr. Olson is going to look into that. We're going to get some quotes and see if that's feasible. Uh and Jamie and I have discussed maybe we designate some parking spots for our littles, so that they know this is where they're going to pull up. It's a safe spot for them to get into the building. I'm sorry, but can you just elaborate on that? So, like Yeah. Um the drop-off and pick-up for like
085a separate entrance. Yeah, a total wish thing. What we currently have is just fine. Right. Um they would still be able to enter through the main doors there in the elementary and go right down the second grade hall, just like they're doing. So, it wouldn't be any different than what we're already doing, and it wouldn't affect my elementary kiddos in any way. So. And as we we go through this, is none of these challenges would prevent the move. But if we could use some of our solutions, it would help. Um changing tables, we can relocate them from Tiny Tots. It's a very minor expense. We still have grant money coming in. So, like Jody, you mentioned the paint and purchase from Amazon, that's all still through grant funds. So, that would be easy. And then,
086we would have to create a policy for staff. I mean, it's a perk to be in the same building with your staff, with your kids, but we also just can't have staff running in and out and kind of disrupting our whole day, either. So, this is our current layout right now. And so, how we This is the second grade hallway. We're coming in. Tiny Toppers are here. So, morning and afternoon hang time meets in these rooms. As well as Tiny Toppers, and then Tiny Toppers shoots across the hall, and the majority of our day is in that room. So, [clears throat] this is what our current Right now, we have hooks in this hallway for Hillsider hang time. We have cubbies in this hallway that our Tiny Toppers use. They can go to the next
087slide. So, this is kind of These are the things that we would look to change is to take these hooks and move them to this hallway, with potentially getting our new entrance. Um the cubbies would stay. The morning hang time would just move to this room. And that works because, and I'm kind of getting ahead of myself, so I apologize, but it works because Tiny Toppers isn't in there until the school day starts. So, morning hang time can be in there. They go to school. Tiny Toppers comes in there. Tiny Toppers goes home. Afternoon hang time comes in. So, this room can be very multi-functional. Um but that I'm sorry, Aaron, can I just go back for 1 second? So, this already exists. So, all we're doing is relocating. So, the cost on this screen
088is truly if we would get a separate entrance. So, this is what our current hang time room looks like. So, if you I know Chuck, you were down there the other day. It's a little bit easier to explain if you're down in the room, but it's the smallest of the three rooms that we have. But it would become our new infant room. So, currently, we are licensed to have eight infants. That's all we would ever want to have at max. So, this room can have is licensed for 13. 2, I think it is. 2, I think it is, but it's big enough. >> [laughter] >> None. I know. I was like, that's a hard to find in the So, it's a It's so weird, yeah. So, >> [laughter] >> It is Yeah. I'm sorry. I
089don't have that right in front of me, but it is big enough. So, our infant room at the school is licensed for the eight. This room can also would would be big enough for that. Um so, in this room, what we'd be looking at is we need to install a changing table, a magnetic whiteboard, which we just installed both of these at Glen Haven, so we could take them off the wall and bring them over. Um We would like to eventually do something with the lighting. We can start with a lamp. Throw on a dimmer switch, and then if we could get the slotted panel out of our door, that would be fantastic. Like none of this affects the move. It's just things we would love to have happen. The I The I take that
090back. The changing table we do have to have. >> [laughter] >> So that's So that room would just empty in itself, and then So then the room that annexes the two R2 Hang Time rooms connected by a door, this would be our morning drop-off. Which is We did this so many times that I don't have my numbers on it for the But it is licensed for I believe 29.36 kids. So again, equal to what we can have there. We're not losing any space. That's licensed for 36. We're coming over here, we can actually have a few extra. So um this in yellow again. So this fridge and freezer, we currently have a fridge and freezer cuz we own everything in its entirety at Glenhaven. We can just transport it here. Um we would like to
091install a changing table in this bathroom as well. When we bought them last, they were $97. So we're not looking at breaking the bank to buy a new changing table. And then a big wish list item would be a dishwasher. Um Tim and I kind of walked the space, and he's like, "Maybe we can sneak one in there." When I priced it, $500 approximately. Again, we don't have to have it. It's just a wish list item. The thing is is that it makes the efficiency of Right. >> running and the and the cleanup and stuff. >> And it would. Yeah, versus having, you know, three pans sitting out and So then this is just our Tiny Toddler room, which sits exactly how it is. Nothing changes in there. What changes is is in there is
092the kids that go in and out of there. Right now Hang Time doesn't use this room, but it's not our primary space. Like when we can't go outside, then they're going to hear all the time. You know, we're run They're running between both rooms. Um we don't The thing we need to add here is we don't have a room number. So there's really no changes to this room at all. >> [clears throat] >> This is something that Aaron and Jamie and I and Tam have really It's kind of happening regardless cuz it's not costing anything. We're going to flip-flop our current office and our current storage room because the current storage room is right in the hub of the rooms. It just makes sense. So it's not costing anything cuz our current office space, we're
093taking the storage shelves out of the storage room and just putting them in here. So it's not It's not costing anything to do this. And then flip-flopping. So that our current office furniture would move into what will be our office. So we might It would be nice if we could have a whiteboard in there and maybe some coat hooks. So um Tim has been working with Frank and myself. We're just looking at There is some power outlets in there. We don't have the whole room completely yet, so we haven't been able to see how many outlets are in there. But to get Frank to run our internet and phone and and Again, it shouldn't be a Like we have a printer at Glenhaven that would just come here. So it we're not buying a lot
094of new things to make this transition. That's And then this is just quick. I won't read all of this to you, but if you look at this piece of it, this is what we currently have there, and it's all going to come here. So the room is going to be furnished when it comes. With our grant funds, we'd like to do some updating, but we're going to bring everything over. So that's what all of these slides are what's in the room and everything that we're bringing. The only items that we talked about leaving there is the dishwasher. Like their dishwasher is actually fitted [laughter] into their kitchen under their countertop, and it's It's been there a while. >> [laughter] >> You know, so I just don't know that we want to even mess with it.
095Sounds sweet. Sounds like Yeah, you know, and and the only other item that we talked about is the stove. Like if we don't have a use for the stove anywhere here at the school, it fits in their spot. It But we did buy it from them. So I think it's a worth of conversation of, you know, do they buy it back? Do we make a deal? I mean, those are some small things that are up for negotiation, I guess. So that's the end of my presentation. For your entertainment. >> [laughter] >> Stephen and I are normally really sick of hearing about this. Well, you know, it's the question for me cuz I was like, "How do we deal with those morning and afternoon kids and the and the When you stated that, now I get
096it. So Yeah. And ideally, I mean, that the separate entrance would be And if you have time to walk down there and see the space, it really does make sense. If the the amount is not too astronomical, I mean, that I understand the funding has to would be a little little. So that drop-off is out the door where like he's having a bad day, he's crying, and it's like ditch him at the door. >> Yeah. It's like, "I'm so sorry, bud." Having it a little bit closer or the hand-offs are Right. Yeah. And then the kids in between, you know, that they're like, "What's going on here?" And then they're all like, "What's wrong with us?" Yeah, you know, but And the kids are good about it. Like our kids are really good about it
097in the building. So um I don't think that entrance sways the decision in my opinion, but I would really like to keep this up for discussion about getting some bids and looking at where a new entrance would be very beneficial. Oh, I I agree with that. I I absolutely do. I'm trying to picture in my mind where that would be. Is it So if you Um we got to go back. Yeah. Almost to the beginning. So Chuck, when you were down there, if you would have had your back against the milk cooler and you were looking down the hallway that has the big Hilltop for Hang Time. This is like where the our big letters are on the wall right here. So it would go out this door, and if you come out this door,
098this is where our sidewalk starts from the side of the building. This is the parking lot. This is the The classrooms, the room 126. >> Yep. Is that the old light colored brick? And where the door would go, the dark Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's at the transition. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And I remember talking about that before. Um I We did talk about it one other time, but originally the conversation started, Chuck, that we would put the door right here where this window is. Oh, okay. Okay. >> And now I would say no, we would not want to do that because this would be the new infant room. Yeah, okay. That's what I thought. Yeah. And this goes right out on the sidewalk. >> Yep. So Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there.
099Um Yeah. Well, well, I think that's definitely a worthwhile thing to investigate, 100%. Um >> [clears throat] >> And I And I agree with you on drop-offs and pickups and Well, I'm also thinking of when it's like below Exactly. And you checking up on the baby carrier. Right. Right. Yeah, there's We're going to have to at least you know, we talked about designating all of those spots parking spots where it's just reserved for that. That's it. Yeah. Um and you know, potentially even some other ones on the other side so they can And again, with the infants, we would have to think a little bit differently, you know, coming through that front door. We don't have the alternative exit. Yeah. Um but again, those that would be a little bit easier than Right. >> Remember
100our three- or four-year-old parents. And that too is a huge benefit because right now we don't have a student worker in the morning at Tiny Tots because of the time that school starts. What we did in the past when school started a little bit later. So again, that's another opportunity that we can open up cuz we do have a morning student worker at Hilltop for Hang Time. So and she's fantastic. You know, so one and done at the door and, you know, um so to be able to open up another position for a student worker in the morning would be fantastic. [snorts] It seems like that area's relation to the school and the space, and I can't imagine both parents that have one at one facility and one at the other. >> Right. And there
101are multiple There are two There are two drop-offs, you know. And an additional $26,000 a year savings. I think the ROI is Right. Right. Exactly. And it And it is It doesn't seem Again, I've timed it. I can get in my car to Glenhaven in the building in 3 minutes approximately. But it is hard if there's a crisis and they're calling and now they're waiting on me or somebody has to go home cuz they're sick or their chicken coop starts on fire or, you know, so That sounded oddly specific. It does. But But things, you know, and things like that happen, and a lot of our staff have [clears throat] kids in the building. So if two staff are out with sick kids, you know, now we're kind of scrambling, and then we're shuffling you
102three hours here, and and we're making it work. It's not that we're not making it work. I just think this would be a better solution. I can't I can't I'm trying to think of a negative. I know you Mhm. phrase them as challenges, and there are some. Right. I can't think of any very minuscule of Right. Right. As As she went through this, and they looked at all the Yeah, what are the cons? Right. And I told her, I said, "There's nothing that's major A major con that we could think of of why doing this would hurt us Right. or Right. >> be beneficial. Right. Um Yeah. I'm so excited. When this first came up last year, the only reason that there wasn't more conversations is because we were past the time already to look
103at the contract. Let them know. Right. So, we have to let Let him know by March 1st if we won't be redoing it for the next school year. So, currently looking a little bit ahead of the timeline. So, our families, Tiny Tots, Tiny Hoppers, Hang Time, it doesn't matter, they all end at the same time this school year. So, our calendar runs from when school starts in August to the end of December. Could you >> [snorts] >> When does school get out? Then they get another calendar for June, July, and August. So, currently, our last day of school is on a Wednesday. That's a half day that we are all All programs are closed to children in the afternoon. And then Thursday and Friday our programs are closed. That's usually when we're turning over, we're
104cleaning, we're getting our summer things out. So, they're already aware of those closure dates. Would not be anything new to them. And then Shafer has to start summer school so quick. So, I'm sorry, trying to Oh, we were thinking if we can start doing little things now, like getting the office and the storage room flipped, and bring over things that we're not using every day, could we make that move in those 2 and 1/2 days? And then summer Hang Time and Tiny Tots opens in a new location June 8th. What is it, June 8th? It's a little bit of a crunch, but the staff that are super excited are really on board, you know? And if we can have some things ready to go, you know, as we get closer to that timeline, I think
105we can do it. Anything from a licensing perspective? Well, all we need to do is turn in the Yeah, I saw all All right, then. Best friends lately. >> [laughter] >> We do have to fill out that there has a building inspection has been done in the space, that there's not anything in the rooms that's unsafe for 0 to 3-year-olds. So, I don't know when the last building inspection was done here. Mr. Olson was going to look at that date and work as just an application. That's it. And then if the program was here, we would all be under one It won't be one site. Right, cuz right now we're listed as two sites, and we have two different facility numbers, two different license numbers. Everything will just be under one. And that's just the
106email to the licenser that I provide her with, and once they got that all in effect, and then she'll come on and visit with me. So, you've already had the licenser She was just here last week. I mean, she's already been through your current process. Correct. And she's been made aware of Right. So, we had a phone meeting set up for Thursday, last week Thursday, and then we had a surprise visit on Monday. So, then we just combined the two meetings. So, she is fully aware of this. And she I informed her I was coming to the school board, and then I've been in, you know, talks with admin. So, she's aware of that this is happening. I wish I could combine my programs. Right. These little two little things add up. >> It It
107does, doesn't it? Yeah. So, I And it's just the minor things that >> is. Yeah. But it matters. Yeah, so I It matters, yeah. Yeah. Any other questions? I know I know what James and Penny and Tiny Tots were looking at a more efficient space. What was the original determining factor why you ended up having to move? Was that why you were there? I really to be brutally honest with you, I think that because Tiny Tumblers and Hang Time were in current existence, the programs were running, and the nursing home had a daycare that closed. Yeah, and then the director at the time, reached out to the school and they were like, "Would you ever consider doing anything?" So, then we started our meetings, and then we were like, "Well, it's all there." You know,
108and then So, as time went on, so Tiny Tots will be open 2 years in March. So. That's crazy. Mhm. >> [clears throat] >> But It doesn't seem It just seems like you were living here like yesterday. A lot of your Tiny Tots now Mhm. >> [clears throat] >> when they become 3 or 4, they come to the school anyway. >> Right. We just had three Tiny Tots move right before winter break, yeah. So, that makes that transition even easier. Mhm. And then they move our 4K and 5K program. Right. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. And we also have kids not in our district that are attending both of our programs. Okay. We'll put that [clears throat] on James' plate. Yep. [laughter] We can Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for the very detailed information. >> Yeah, thank you,
109Beth. Yeah. You're welcome. And I have a lot of help, so I do appreciate the people that aren't here with me tonight, but they did help. Well, you do You work really hard at it, and >> [laughter and clears throat] >> I know it's chaotic sometimes. It's good though. It's good. It's organized chaos. Well, you're a victim of your own success. I know. It's funny cuz ever since you said that today, it's like rattling in my brain. I have it on But if you want to see the space, if it's easier to walk it, I almost live here, so just let me know when I can walk it with anyone. Like Derek, I don't know if you've ever been downstairs even. So, yeah, if you want to stop in. Yeah. And when you stop during
110the day and there's 30 kids pulling at your pants leg. I think everyone else >> [clears throat] >> I don't know if you've checked out the space. I have not. Okay. You're more than welcome to see From From where it was when it was an art room and all Mhm. storage room and the old wrestling room and to what it is there now and what I'm not going to rate but it's a huge turnaround. Yeah, we've come a long way. All right. I'll entertain a motion to authorize the administration to give formal written notice to Woodland Haven in reference to the school district's initiative to terminate their child care rental agreement. Motion. Motion by Derek. I'll second. Second. Second by Scott. Any further discussion? Hearing none, I'll call the vote. >> one question. Do we
111need to abstain? I don't think There's no There's no financial aspect, so you do not have to abstain. This is my opportunity to second. >> [laughter] >> Motion and a second on the table. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Those who say no. Motion carried. Thanks again. Thank you, everyone. And that And that motion does carry the the request to for some of the added added things that she may want and need. You know, like the the door and I think what we're saying is this is just to give the administration the go-ahead that we can change the contract. Okay. So, we're giving a notification of the contract. >> Yep. And to get the relocation of Yeah. And they can quote those activities then. Right. What was that? They
112can quote like the door and the relocation. Those things that That's what we're not pricing. Yeah, we can work on that. Yeah. This is just the first step. This is where we're going. Okay. All right. Everybody good? All right. Thank you, everybody. Thank you, Beth. All right. Cool. Is space available for special education, regular education, open enrollment students for 2026-2027 school year? >> [cough] >> Oh, [clears throat] there you go. Okay. Aaron, do you want to say a little something on this cuz we This is something we usually end up approving because we really really don't have any And we get a lot of questions on it. We get a lot of questions. So, honestly, the numbers have [clears throat] not changed a ton. You think they would change somewhat, um, but they really haven't.
113They've really stayed very similar. The one thing that I will say is that with Jamie's process, the PRPs, the the tiers, all of that, we I have not included the evals that are happening right now. So, looking at these numbers, if you look down at the ECSE 4K and the ES 5K to 5 numbers, um, even the MS um, 6 to 8, I have in the middle school, I have two um, evaluations that I know will be coming through there. I have, um, two in the elementary school, and then I have one that was just, um, through the program there. Um, so, knowing that, I mean, that's five more. In this, I'm not saying that they're the other four that are going to qualify, but there is an evaluation open on four more students. One
114did qualify in the 4K area, just not included in these numbers when we were figuring them out, um, because it kind of skews things when you're when you're doing the the calculations, um, for that. Um, but I qualified after the fact. Um, so, just knowing that the fluctuation of these numbers and the move ins and move out outs and that's where that projected future capacity happens. Um, the plus and minus four um, actually stays pretty on target. Um, if you look even at the OT last [clears throat] year she had 30 on that and increased by five. Those needs are usually staying pretty similar but did jump quite a bit and the same with speech and language that you know, usually we see an increase just like I mentioned with the child development day. That's
115an increase there too. Um, and across the board we are looking at um, when I did the calculation at 20% special education right now. So and I think that was a similar number though that you said you saw in Cumberland. >> Yeah, we were about 19 20. So everyone that I've talked about or talked to recently they're doing the same thing. Close special ed and they're fluctuating or I shouldn't say fluctuating but sitting in the range of between 17 and 20. So I think I think we mentioned this last year at this time too is the average when they said the Wisconsin average sits at 13%. That's definitely increased in the last six six years. So. And I think so some of the changes we've done at the elementary school with the RTI process as
116far as the official interventions and tracking students. Um, when she talks about the referrals that are coming from me through my RTI process, I feel really good at making those referrals. I'm like, okay, we have done our due diligence, we've given the student adequate time, we've given them adequate instruction. We can check off all those exclusionary factors of why this student is struggling. Okay, let's go to further evaluation. So, you know, she is going to start to see, you know, as those kids get through my process, but it's going to be about two to three, you know, every rotation where it's like, okay, these kids are now up, let's go through the evaluation and see where we're at. More than likely most a lot of times they'll qualify for additional services that way which again,
117it just shows we're doing our job and our checks and balances of making sure we're identifying these kids at the right age. So. What I'm trying to say I can't count them because they're not officially >> yes, yes, yes. officially. But because we yes, because we have the system set up the way that we do she can make that three times a year I'm going to come to her and say, okay, now these kids have gone through a year year and a half of intense interventions. This is what I've done. Now what do we do? Does that make sense? >> Yeah. Okay. And there's not an average number there you can't think on the you just know that three times a year you're going to get Hey. the end of my process that I have
118set up at the elementary. Which is a wonderful thing to know though because then you know that they're going through this process the tiers and you can say, okay. That it truly is an evaluation then of a disability and not just that they haven't been instructed properly. Just you know, given the opportunities. And the ones that I said I have in the middle school are for definitely other things and there's one that is a returning home school student and that's why it was identified before coming back in for an evaluation would be on our list as a kind of a you know, a different untypical case, atypical case. So. So you can dismiss kids from sped. Does that happen very often? Yes, it does. It can It can happen and every once actually I actually
119had three speech and language this year. Okay. Mhm. I'll motion to approve the receipt of the special education students by program. All right, motion made by Derek. Do we have a second? Second. Seconded by Scott. Any other questions? Hearing none, all those in favor say I. I. I. All say no. Motion carried. Next up is the approval of pupil non-discrimination program annual compliance report. This one is also me. Mhm. Um so >> [clears throat] >> we go through and take a look at >> Can I Can I call a point of order? Do we need to also approve that there's no limit on regular education seats? I was wondering that too Chuck. It doesn't say that in the You can make that motion. The motion just says for special education but Well, the last part
120of the >> Oh, it does say in the last part. We need to approve no limit on seats. >> [clears throat] >> No limit on seats available for regular education. >> Right, right, right. There we So I don't know how to achieve that but if you're willing to hear it, I'll make a motion to say there's no limit on Does that Would that cut them off the roster Scott? Well, you can do Or do we want to modify it Derek or What we can do is yeah, we can amend Derek your Derek you can amend your motion to include that. Yeah, that And Scott can say I'll second that and that'll take care of Yeah. Yeah, I I guess the intent was to cover everything that was there. Yeah. Yeah, I think we missed the
121last So I actually motion to amend my motion. >> [clears throat] [laughter] >> As presented? Yes. The wording in the cabinet as presented in the recommended action. Scott, would you second that? Yeah, I'll second that. Okay, all right. Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. All say no. Motion carried. Thanks. I I just want to make that clear. Okay, now even more. All right. Um, the approval uh, the pupil non-discrimination um, >> [clears throat] >> or the PI 9.07 is the looking at all the protected classes. So what I do is I go on to all of our disciplinary referrals and look for the bullying and harassment referrals pieces and look for any that have to do with the protected classes and we started a better process this year after I
122did this um, and looking at anything that has to do with sex, race, disability, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, creed and pregnancy, marital status or parental status um, and just look to see where that falls into those categories. >> [clears throat] >> So if it has discriminate discrimination or harassment and kind of put it in those categories. As you can imagine sometimes it takes a little bit of weeding out and figuring out and even reading into the actual referral, the discipline referral um, but it's broken down and you can see the number that we had in there for each one um, and it applies to if it was teacher against student or student against student looking at that piece. So the discrimination against any policies or anything like that, the actual school against students
123and then um, student discipline referrals. Um, and very similar number to last year's number also. Can you explain what the difference is between formal and informal? Yes, if we had to bring in um, like have the a board meeting about it, like a expulsionary, anything like that um, or a sit down meeting with um, even law enforcement coming in about something um, and that's the outside agency type thing. If I had say a a formal agency come in and maybe mediate something. So it looks like everything was informal. Mhm. Kind of a high scale of formality though. I guess it's the severity of informal. I mean Informal is usually with um, one of the principals, myself, even Patrick, something like that. So they kind of go through different layers. So if they would have, you
124know, chief Platt come in, if they would have um, if it was something like that or even um, you come in and for a meeting and it's more so along the lines of going above and beyond and you have to do a recommendation for a outside therapist to come in and have mediate something. I make a motion to approve the pupil non-discrimination program annual compliance report. >> [clears throat] >> So moved. Motion made by Chuck. Do we have a second? I'll second. Seconded by Jody. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor say I. I. I. All say no. Motion Uh, next up is the information reference to Mr. Jim Johnson. Um yeah. Uh, we have a There's information there to state and Um the uh I want to look at mine. >> Yeah,
125I got I lost I lost my thing. I was clicking too many things. That's why you like the mouse, right? Go to the one that talks about the state coordinator things. >> [laughter] >> I I Is this what you're looking for? I have it up on the screen, Doc. >> Yes. That There we go. So, there's our update. So, they'll be hearing at 10:00 as well and then the sentencing at the same day at 1:30. Um we got a lot of the inmate impact statement stuff and um we still also need to give us a bunch of those to kind of go over and read some of the things that are going to be put to uh the uh uh panels to advocacy for the victim coordinator type of a thing. So, that's where everything
126stands with that. We can discuss that. There's a basically a reference to uh the if I read it correctly, the school board making a statement. Did I Did anybody else see that? What I'm I saw it in the email. So, he yep, he was wondering if the board would like to make an official statement. I have attached the responses from staff to date in the email and also [clears throat] put on board docs under the administrative content. So, he's just looking to see if the board would like to make an official statement. Um Should that be a closed session? I I think I don't think you have to. >> my mind, I'm thinking is we decide yes or no we want to do that and then and then some then that at a later date.
127That is drafted or what? Yeah, together or however and whatever way we want to do it. Yeah, I thought I thought I think we should. I think Okay. Is there a combination of a public statement as well as a statement that goes into the this proceedings of the trial? I mean, from a from a sentencing standpoint, does the board have a perspective that we'd like the judge to hear? From a prosecution standpoint versus what we would say to the public maybe post outcome? I believe those would be two separate >> Yeah. things. Yeah. So, I I don't know if we need to have an action on on crafting a statement >> No, I don't think we have to have an action on it. It's just discussion. to a consensus and and if that's something that
128we want to do, then we need to. Well, I think a a impact statement on behalf of the board is is appropriate. Yes. I agree. Okay. >> [laughter and cough] [clears throat] >> Anything else in reference to that item? So, next up is the approval of the CCSD LA audit. And once we got big thing That's the the packet and you have you had most of everything as the treasurer. Um that was Jim's thing. Yeah, Dan Carlson. Yes, the lead auditor, Carlson. Do you have any insights you want to share with the group as a whole or not? Um probably the most important thing is if you go to the very back, it has the actual findings. So, page 53, that's about management statements. So, finding statement 201, which is delegation of duties. This is
129one that you'll find in any institution that has a very limited staff because you only have so many people to delegate responsibilities to. So, you can also see that it was a finding like your prior. Uh the only thing you can do is strive for those management controls in place for those approvals. And then the other finding was the material audit adjustments, uh which Deb either with Deb to uh get those instituted. That was related to um a change and I can't remember what the what the state statute change was, but it sounds like several schools were affected by it. It wasn't material in value. It was about 117,000. Um materiality for government last year was defined as some odd thousand. So, that corrected everything and put it in good form. All right. Um any
130questions in reference to that? >> [snorts] >> Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion to approve the CCSD LA audits for 2024-2025. Motion. Motion's made by Derek. Go ahead and second. I'll second. Seconded by Jordan. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. All those who say no, motion carried. Next up is the approval of the second Friday in January school picture day. I believe. >> [snorts] >> Is there any concerns in reference to what that is with anybody? Kind of a standard thing. Can you Can you click on it, Krista, and show us what we should be looking at exactly? Um [clears throat] Sometimes people land forecast and make it the actual calendar year for the next one. Well, I thought it said up top about amended. Um we had to amend because Friday when
131Deb and I submitted the count, I got back to my desk and had an email from St. Croix Central that oh whoops, a kid moved in November and we told you after the count dates. Then today we had to go in and amend by one open enrolled out kid. Cuz everybody had it has to have it finalized the same day, so you always end up with a few that they catch. So, this is what we submitted to the state for our numbers. And that's what Doc and Jody have to sign off on. Now, that's our FTE, though. Keep that in mind. So, is that Is there a delta from what was in the budget or what was initially planned for? Cuz that's right kind of how it works is you have an estimate until you
132get to the second week of January. That our estimate was accurate? Yeah, it was one. Yeah, okay. So, it's just we have to correct that for for a few people count. And so, this is just an amendment to the that was initially planned for. Okay. If I remember right, these actuals will be used in funding for as part of the state equation for next year. Oh, that's all right. Oh, okay. All right. So, can I get a motion to approve the second Friday count in January? So moved. Motion was made by Chuck. Go ahead and second. I'll second. Seconded by Jody. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. All those who say no, motion carried. And next is the approval of the professional staff laptop recommendation. And they are
133listed here. This was they were purchased, but um there was Someone had put in a purchase order. There was a purchase order, yeah, and it We talked about this when we did our audit. Yeah, it has 800 available, so basically school didn't possibly 900 available. Yeah, it was actually maybe of a greater magnitude, but yeah, thousands were available. Tried to get captured when we could. That's Scalar buys. Issued the check and then they issued the guys that actually some small, but they put in this huge order. So, we missed out on it. So, that's why you see if you look at Scalar buys, you can see the $19,900 credit. You also see in our accounts payable slip that we paid $19,000 to the organization. That's what that was for and why we don't have laptops.
134So, that discovers the delta in what thanks Doc Harris was able to 3,050 dollars. Yeah, okay. We got it. Yep. Yeah. Did everybody follow that okay? All right. So, I'll move to approve the professional staff laptop recommendation. All right. Do I have a second? Second. Seconded by Scott. Any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. All those no, motion carried. And the last one is in reference to the work session that we did on 12. And this is what Derek distributed. Um and it's basically a summary of what we went what we went through. So, Was there a a new information on there was Which one is the new one? >> [clears throat] >> Cuz um equalized value per member. Yeah. There is. Oh, yeah. I don't know what that
135is. Yeah, I don't know what that means. Yeah. So, state wise value is uh how much our property values are worth. >> Yes. I don't know if I divide it by number of people's. I guess I don't know what tertiary guarantee means. Yeah, so those three bars that Debby put in here are the three that go into the school aid formula. Yeah. So, if basically you're under those three bars, that means we're benefiting uh in our form of our financial um >> Yeah. aid from schools. If you're above those, I guess what's called negatively impacted or negatively aided, you actually lose out on that formula. So, yeah, we're in a long tail on the right, which means we're getting everything we can out of the school aid. Yeah. But, if you look at Birchwood, not
136so much. On the left-hand side, they've got a way above. Yeah. Yeah, you'll see there's a common theme on some of those uh schools on the left with the education properties where they're Mhm. That makes perfect sense. Who's going to be the CBO? Yeah. So, this is This is what we're going to be doing the next steps that we need to do with this piece on on the awesome referendum information and things like that. So, this is just a summary of what we talked about. There's nothing new other than that. People ask for Yeah. Yeah, I just want to say that the thing was like the the working sessions. Like, do you have a plan to maybe pick those up a little bit faster planning for spring referendum? Sure. We need We We need to
137I was going to ask Patrick and I stopped it when it comes to scheduling the meetings, like if we can set something up on February here, but I didn't want to say anything about talking to you guys, but Um I will I will say to Barrett's point from earlier, if you go onto the WASD website or the app, if you look at any one that have uh referendum as a subject, you will be able to find some great informative slides that will kind of get your mind going on the process. Um it's I mean, yeah, it's the time to move forward with the referendum is Yeah. It's the fact that Dr. Law talked about just the fact of quoting and all the general contractors mentioning just have to know in there actually putting the dollars
138and cents in. Yeah. And and you know, um making sure we get uh are are clearer on what the needs would be and why and how how that is presented. And we we have to I think also look at um you know, involving the community and talking and and um it's not about how many people but actually having the community come in and say, "Yeah, you need to do this. You need to do this. We need to And and a lot of this from what I understand, I've never done it before, but what I mean, this isn't all going to be regenerated. We don't have the right playbook on this. Barrett knows what they're doing. Uh so. So, is everybody up to maybe looking into February possibly getting started on some more discussion on this
139piece? All right, I'll get a hold of Patrick and try to set something up. But, I mean, if everybody needs to have a conversation But, All right. Could be February. Yeah. So, this is not the rest of that week, though, we don't know. Is there any Is anybody going on I know you won't be, but [clears throat] is there anybody else that has can't make certain dates in February like maybe the second second week or so? Possibly? Okay. I'll put some dates up and see what Patrick can come up with and maybe he can email us all and let him get back to them on that before he does. Okay. Uh no communications this evening. Okay. Um our schedule of meetings are listed. We're trying to see if we can get another meeting a little
140bit sooner in reference to building facility grounds and things. So, anything else to add to that from meetings-wise? All right, I'll entertain a motion to adjourn meeting. So moved. I second. Don't everybody jump at once. I'll second that. Okay, Jordan seconds it. All those in favor say "Aye." Aye. Aye. Thank you. I didn't know if you wanted to take action or anything. I just was a nice uh engagement that we usually have. We can continue maybe we just continue on. I thought I I thought I was long-winded. I [laughter] thought I wanted to go like this again, like do it. Yeah, long drive. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> Not well. Oh, okay. All right, it's still fine. I just all those long ones What good is saying it? >> [clears throat] >> For the record All
141those long Oh. It's not as long as you do I bet. Facebook messenger I said over the weekend. Does it like go around me? Do we need to take turns and go around? [laughter] We might maybe even shift it one. No, like I've been trying to think out there. I actually the only reason I'm actually redid my account is for my sister. Cuz I have a video. I could listen to the audio at the same time. Thank you. You want me to say it? Oh, you got it. So, she's recognizing this guy.
