001shut down. >> At this time, I'd like to bring it call to order the July 20th, 2025 meeting of the Harper Joint One District Board of Education. May I have a roll call, please? >> Mr. >> here. >> I'm here. This is a meeting of the board of education in public for the purpose of conducting the district's business. It is not to be considered a public community meeting. There is a time for public participation during the meeting as indicated in the agenda. Any district residents or parents of a currently enrolled student who might show up yet wishing to speak would have filled out a card, located the signing table and given it to the board secretary. And there are none. So, uh, with that, we're going to move to the pledge of allegiance. Don, would
002I have you lead us tonight? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. Item number three is to consider the approval of agenda. The agenda notes the board's mission of we will support our community through dedicated governance, leadership, and stewardship so that our students achieve. It also states our values and expectations as a board in governing our meetings. The purpose of the agenda approval is twofold. The first reason is to verify that public notice has been given according to state statute 19.84. Miss Hoffman, has the meeting been properly noticed? >> Yes. >> Thank you. The second reason for approval of the agenda is to consider titling an item or
003to reuse the order of events. Is there anything that anyone had to comment about for tonight's agenda? Seeing none, then I would ask for a motion. I move to approve the agenda. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. Um I do not believe we have any citizens delegation. That brings us to number five, which is the board president reports. >> So there's just two quick things on here. Um the first is board professional learning. So one of the things um through the administration and with the board we try to do is have times where we're meeting together to be professionally have some professional development as well. So we are next month during our regular board meeting we are going to have our attorney come to kind of speak to
004us a little bit about board governance give some tips um and reminders to all of us. I don't know about any of it will be groundbreaking information but it's always a good reminder for all of us and how to properly proceed and get involved in these board meetings. So if you'll be here, um Tara and I are also going to meet, Dr. Gilov and I are also going to meet with um a couple of people next week who were considering to come for a future board work session where they would come help us um discuss kind of similar thing just good opportunities for us to get better at what we're doing. And then sometime in the future, we'll also have a work session where we discuss future budgets and Adam will be our presenter for
005that. That would be yet to be determined when that's going to be. And then the second thing I have on here is just that we had a really great involvement from our administration at Harvard Maxwell Street days. So I just wanted to thank Dr. Gobos, Adam, the staff. I know some people were in dunk tanks and raised some dollars. Where did the dollars go >> for beautiful Hartford? >> Okay. So we need for volunteers for beautiful Hartford. >> Um we had kind of a competition going with the city of Hartford. Yes. >> Was it announced yet who won that? Yes, it was. >> Can you tell us who the winner of that process? >> School districts beat the city of Hartford. >> It was combined. It was Hartford Union School District and Hartford won. But
006that was a fun It was a fun competitiveness and I mean good sports to everyone who was in the duct day whether you're in the city or Hartford Union or here. So, thank you for that. I thought that was a great community involvement. Um, with that, we'll move to the district's administrative reports. I'll pass it over to Dr. Thank you. It's hard to believe that we're here talking about August and welcome back to school, but we are. So, the welcome back in service will be on August 25th. That is the day that you are all invited to come and be a part of our breakfast and then also our back to school celebrations. So, that's when we recognize our new team members and who they are. We also recognize our staff for longevity in the
007district and if you're able to be a part of that that would be fantastic this year because of the construction across the district. We will be at the chandelier ballroom. Um so everything has been set over there for the both the 25th which is just Hartford that's our opening as well as the 26th which is all of the Hartford area school districts. Michelle at the Chandelier Ballroom has been outstanding to work with. She's done a really nice job helping to create uh two days for us. Again, one that's just ours, one that includes everyone. On the day uh where we have all the Herford area schools, we'll be bringing in a speaker. His name is Clint Swindall. Uh Alex Connealy and I uh when she was still here, we had the opportunity to see him
008present at the state convention, as did Louise. and Katie has been working with him to help bring him here in August for all of the Herk area schools to learn from and hear from. So Clint's discussion is about culture. It's about the attitude that you bring to work and how you either add to or subtract from the culture. And he also utilizes the Gallup work, which is something that we've been heavily invested in here. So it'll be a really nice uh second day for us um as our professional development. Then in terms of back to school dates, last year was the first time that we had done our two elementary days on the same day and we did central separately. The reviews were really positive. So we said last year was our pilot year and
009we decided that that will be the same way we run things this year. So our central night will be on August 27th and then both elementary schools will have their open house on August 28th. Uh, and then likewise, the first day of school is September 2nd. Uh, we have a bunch of photo days and things like that in there as well. And we have a new website that will be going live in the near future. Amy has a back to school page ready to go with all of the important information for our families. So, that will include all of the dates that I mentioned, plus a few others. And then the last thing that I wanted to share in terms of district updates was that last week we had our administrative retreat. Uh that doesn't
010mean we went somewhere exotic and really fun. We were here and it was really fun. Uh we had a lot of hard work. Adam's smiling. You can tell that I'm speaking the truth. Uh around the room you can see all of the posters that reflect the work and the thinking that we did. But we were together Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. uh had a lot of strategic work that we did. We reflected on the fair survey. We um reflected on the things that we are planning to implement next year and what work needs to be done in order to get that ready and to get our staff and teams ready. We worked on generation activities and of course we spent a lot of time working on the KPIs that you'll hear from us uh later on.
011And then on Wednesday, we had a brief interlude where we brought in teacher team members and we focused on PLC development and what is a PLC? What does that look like, sound like? Why would we want to operate that way? So, it was a great opportunity for our administrative team to collaborate with our teacher leaders, the it was representatives from our pack team. And one of the things that we walked away with after that uh professional learning on Wednesday was that our teacher leaders will help us bring that back to the rest of the staff. So that way they know that this is an endeavor that we're all working on together. So while the Tuesday and Thursday of the retreat were simply our team, on Wednesday, Miss Malter contracted with Will Remmer, who is from
012Solution Tree, to help bring us information about the ALC. So, it was a great day and we were able to see connectivity between all of the days and the activities that took place. Um, with that I can move on to the board updates. The very first attachment that I've included for you are the resolutions that were adopted by the delegate assembly in January. So, our district did not submit any of these resolutions. However, these were the ones that were voted on. Louise was our delegate last year. And so if you have any questions or anything like that, she can certainly answer those for you. I can answer those for you. But that's what those are. Uh WASB sent those out. The next thing is that WASB does have a vacancy in its board of directors
013for our region. So if any of you are interested in having a seat on that board of directors, there's information there about how to apply for that. If you have any questions, quite honestly, Louise and Bordon um both of them have been recognized by WSB for their work and so one of them would probably be best equipped to answer some questions for you. You can certainly come to me too. And then the very last thing is the board goals and key performance indicators. As you know, in May you approved over our four new board goals and so that was a huge part of our retreat last week. And so what we'll be bringing to you during the action section of the agenda is the KPI framework and that provides a balanced quantifiable structure to measure
014progress toward those four new goals that are part of our strategic priorities or our continuous improvement action plan and will help to support transparency data driven decision making and then also just the continuous improvement for us. So it's a great way for us to gauge our progress as well as our achievements. Awesome. >> Um, do you want me to talk about the Okay. So then in terms of state and federal annual notices, every year as a school district, a public school district in the state of Wisconsin, we are required to notice a few things. So the two things that come up in July are listed there for you. The very first one is our academic standards, the student assessment um piece, the E for plan which is our education for employment and then also our
015academic and career planning. So we've attached that letter and then the second thing is our non-discrimination notice and so that has not changed from last year. Remember we did update it last year. >> Thank you. Any questions for Dr. Okay, moving on to a discussion portion here which is going to be a report from the admin team about our construction update. I just want to thank uh Mr. Hanlin, Mr. Carol, Mr. Jar, Dr. Lovos for walking us. We just left we just left Lincoln because we had a lovely tour there of what's been going on. So, it was um really nice to see with their own eyes, but I'll pass it over to you back. >> Thank you. Um yeah, the the team at Myron and their subcontractors have been hard at work uh since
016the middle of May. Again, they started Lincoln School um in the middle of May to get some things kicked off so that when we ended school, they could start right away on day one. Again, thank you to Doug and his team getting areas cleaned out and such. Myron um was pretty impressed with the amount of um readiness that they could start doing some things right away. Couple new slides since um the last time we didn't get to visit Central or Rossman today. This is an area in um the maintenance uh closet slashoff. So, what you're seeing here is um there was some work that needed to be done in the floor to deal with plumbing. There was a slop sink in there a and uh some pipes needed to be run so that we could
017get service in terms of water and and uh sinks in there. On the other side of that wall where you see the yellow scaffolding, that was formerly the um concession stand that's adjacent to like cafeteria. and the kitchen. That room will now become a family bathroom. So, they'll be working on that over the course of the next month. Um, that's that'll remain a concession stand. The space that they're creating there. >> Oh, good. Good. >> Good. >> Not that you think that the concession stand is going to be gone and it's not. that we chose to keep that because of the >> athletics on the north side. Then when you enter north side of the building, it'll be right on the left. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Another thing that um especially Dr. Regatska is
018excited about. Uh if you would enter the main doors um on the west side of the building and you travel down to the corridor if as if you were going to the band, orchestra, choir areas. Um if you remember there were some carpeted steps there. We used that as lost and found. We used that for storage of different things. Kids congregated there. Um not the most visually appealing area. And um also just with the accumulation of stuff, we wanted to come up with a dis different solution there. Um Myron agreed to rip that area out. um we were going to do that work anyway and since they had some time in their schedule, they expedited this situation for us. So, they took those carpeted stairs out and what we'll do there is we'll pick a
019spot along the wall. Um make a nice transition from lower to upper there. Uh that's raw concrete there. So, we'll put some new tile there. And then the intention would be is to have some chairs and tables uh for students to use for different activities and congregation and things like that. So a little bit more organized there getting rid of um again the catch all of lost and found items and just other stuff that accumulates. They're working on doors um ADA doors. not really great pictures because a lot of that's still tented off. Um, but they're working on those. And then there's um one bathroom down on the south end of the building near Special Edit area that they have um started ripping apart and putting back together. So, pretty exciting. As you saw outside
020probably as you drive by on Cedar Street, um they've prepped and are getting ready to bury that uh pipe that we need so that when we're accumulating water off the front of the building and off the canopy, it can go down underground, get taken out toward the Wildcat preserve. And so, um, that'll be worked on as well during the ne course of the next month. >> They'll have to go under the driveway there to go to South. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, they'll rip it they'll rip it open, put lay the pipe down, and then close back up. So, the impact should be minimal. We just didn't want to be doing that during during summer school. Lincoln as you guys um got a chance to see with your own eyes. Uh this is a picture
021of the new foundation for uh the small addition that's going on at Lincoln. Again, that addition is going to serve um as kitchen storage, general maintenance storage, and also our receiving area. Since we do uh transport meals and other things from building to building, having a receiving area to have the truck and to be able to load those items onto the truck. um without being in the elements is crucial. So, we appreciate that. And uh so that's them working on the foundation for that area. This will not be done until October, November time frame. Um and as we're going to see in the next slide, this is the exterior work that they're doing. um taking off the exterior part of the brick, the pretty side, and obviously the concrete block side will stay in place.
022And as we talked about on the tour, they'll remove the the face brick. There is a foundation already laid with a small concrete ledge that they'll be able to build the brick back up. They'll make the condition such that they can um put insulation and a vapor barrier in between the uh the block wall and the new brick. And on the front part of the building, they'll actually be some coloration of brick. So, we're excited to see how how the final product turns out there, but uh a lot of work. Um it's going okay. They knew it was going to be difficult to rip off. Um, it's just the way the construction is in a nor in a newer type building where they might have to do this with that vapor barrier. They'd be able
023to take uh an excavator or some kind of uh machine to kind of peel that back. These were attached straight to the the block wall. That's just the construction method in 1953 54. So, it's a little bit more difficult, but they're dealing with that and uh doing a good job. It's not a It does not look like a fun job. Rossman School, they're doing a bunch of different things. Um the upstairs area um that we were actually a part resident of during um the the issue while while we had the issue here. Um they've taken down the combustible walls, the the walls made of that were made of wood up there, and they're starting to replace those with um the steel studs and putting walls and things back together. So, we're excited about that. There's
024bathroom remediation for um ADA. And the big project um has been the canopy removal and and the replacement of a new canopy in the front of the building. So, what you're actually I'll show this one first. Can't see great. Um, but this was where they were actually doing some forms that day. Um, using some equipment. You can see the concrete truck was there to start pouring some forms. And then, um, this is last week. And, as you can see, they they have the forms kind of, um, the foundation kind of laid there. They'll get that all um nice. They'll put new concrete up to the front of the building. They're actually starting to put steel up. Um so that thing is is coming along nicely and that that'll be done before we start school. So
025that entrance will be back to normal. So pretty excited. Again, lots of work to do still. The intention is for them to finish the interior things that we need done so we can hold school before school starts. Um, we have regular construction meetings once every other week. Uh, our normal schedule would have been last Thursday, but with our retreat, we asked them to move to this Thursday. So, we'll get a new update on how things are going um this Thursday. They are in regular communication with me, with Doug. um you know the things that that I get contacted for is final selections of different product um change orders having to address um conditions that weren't anticipated like uh you know extra extra cost for moving a pipe or something like that that after you ripped
026things apart and then you figure out ah we don't have the room to do this or we need to move it over here instead and they did a certain way. Um it's certainly not anything major. So, and we have design and project contingency for that. So, I review all of those. So, um we're up to date with all that so they can keep work moving. So, all in all, I think we're happy. We'd love to see the buildings done and put together faster, but that's just the nature of these projects and the fact that we have a condensed window. So they have lots of staff on site and they're cranking away as best they can. >> Any questions, comments for Adam or Le? >> I don't remember. Is there going to be any landscaping added
027any of the village when it's all said and done? >> Um they'll be to the extent that they rip some stuff out apart out here, they'll put some stuff back. Not really anything at um not really anything at Lincoln School. The stuff that they took out in front of the building um frankly was starting to kind of get away from us a little bit and big. Um so we'll let it sit kind of to start and we'll see what we need to do after we're done there. If you can remember, there is going to be some drain tile and things trying to remediate again water on the north and south side of like the K2 wing. Um, and they'll have to regrade a little bit and some things. So, uh, there really wasn't a lot
028of bushes or shrubbery outside there anyway. um at Central Middle School, as you saw the areas that they've ripped apart and things. Um they'll be putting some things back there. Um certainly we have um some ideas that people have floated around in terms of stuff that can go back in those spaces. Um but uh and they might have to remove a bush or two as they put the new down spouts along the west side of the building. So, um, we're just going to have to see kind of where those all get placed and what's there. But, uh, I would not say that there's a significant portion of landscaping. Last month, you showed a picture of the central office that probably >> Yeah. So, there um the demo I'd say is mostly done. They started putting
029some stuff back. um they had to open up the area for the new entrance into that office space. So if you could imagine where the um kind of the old receiving window where we were able to put some bags back and forth now you'd see probably what about a 15 a 10 by 15 hole in the wall. Um, so as we get ready to put that back, um, and again have a window and a doorway there for people to enter the office. That's all open right now. So that'll get put back and so traffic will come in the main bank of doors. If you just need to drop something off, you can use the window. But if you come and want to access the building, you'll actually enter through a doorway that will now be
030on your left to enter the office. >> Go ahead. >> Will there still be doors to get into the hallway there, too, or No. Okay. For certain events. >> Yeah. And all those doors are being replaced. >> Okay. >> So, they're original to the building and it's time and that was part of the project. So, >> yeah, >> the carpeted stairs. Sorry, can't catch you up. But the carpeted stairs, those by the music choir room, right? >> Yeah. Sir, if you'd walk, >> what' you do with all the stuff with musical? >> It's around. >> Is it going to be found places for it? >> Some of it, most of it, I would say, at the moment, is up on the stage just so that they could get it out of the way so we
031could do the work. I was a part of two of I don't know three of those and a lot of time and effort goes into those. They save them for a reason. >> Oh yeah, the stuff is saved. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't >> Yeah. Yeah, I mean the carpeted stairs were well used during the musicals, but I don't know. >> We can use stairs that'll be way better. >> I do. It would be nice if there was a place to display some of those somewhere again. Maybe there would be like a taller shelf over there that one could go up on. But yeah, if there's several volunteers for um musical set building and top building here at this table, so we're all like, where did the heart go? Yeah, it was certainly not certainly not
032a a situation where we just chuck stuff because it was there. Um, >> that's not what I was thinking. I just >> Dr. A and uh >> and Miss Garity were involved in that process about what and where. >> So, the office door will be you'll hit the office door before you hit that second double door or there's >> it'll be in it'll be in between the bank of doors. >> Okay. Right. Cool. That's great. Right. That's to So you're not free into the hallway or the right. You're not even getting into the building. You're only accessing the office. >> Yeah. It's much more secure. Again, they they don't have to gain access to our inner bank of doors. We can slow them down and check them in and do all the things we need
033to do >> right >> through the office. >> If you want to remember what it looks like, again, the posters are out there so you can see take a look just to refresh your memory. The other thing too is that we give you an update once a month. Um, however, Adam and I put out a newsletter once a week so that our staff has seen the progress and the work as it happens and then we're using those same updates on our website. So, it is on the referendum page if you it's called watch our progress throughout the summer and we have about six different updates there. >> Thank you again. Thank you for the tour. I thought it was um really great to see organize in this space. Okay, there's no other comments. We're going
034to move on to district business, our action items for tonight. Item number one is approval by the board of the annual declaration and parent notice of the district student academic standards that will be in effect for the 202526 school year including the standards for the content areas that are expressly identified as section 120.1213 and section 118301DA1 of the state statutes. The academic standards will be provided to parents, guardians of students in the letter and on the district's website. And that letter was included in the packet. Is there a motion? A motion to approve the proposed notice of the student academic standards that are in effect for the 2526 school year and other required notices. As said, proposed notice was presented to the board in written form as an attachment in the board's packet of supplemental
035materials for this meeting. All pursuit all I can't see offer student to section 120.1213b and section 118.30 of the state statutes and motion of the board to direct the administration to provide parents and guardians of the district students with notice of board adopted student academic standards that are in effect for 2526 school year in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of section 120.12 sl 15 of the state statute. Thank you for that motion. Is there a second? I'll second. >> You got a >> Thank you. >> Any discussion, question? >> I would just say this is very standard. This is what we give to the school board every year. Uh Miss Malter makes sure that everything is updated and in compliance so that way you have what you need. >> There's no other
036questions. I would All in favor? I >> I >> Any opposed? Motion carries. >> Item number two, curriculum review cycle. The district curriculum review cycle provides a process to review and ensure the implementation of all Wisconsin academic standards. This process aligns instruction, curriculum, and assessment disciplines. The summary document highlights key focus areas within the curriculum cycle for the 2526 school year and identifies the current phase for each content area. Again, that was attached within. Is there a motion? Motion to approve the curriculum review cycle. >> Thank you. >> A second. Any discussion? >> So, the first thing I'll say is that um this also comes from Miss Malter and her department. This was new to the school uh school district a couple of years ago uh my first year here. And so, Miss Malter has
037been part of the curriculum review process creating this cycle. It is a living document. And so we're being responsive to changes whether it's statutory based or based on DPI's updates. The copy that we included for you is very pretty and easy to read. However, it doesn't capture all of the numerous updates that Ms. Malter made to the cycle. Um it her version has all of the edits that transfer everything forward one year. So if anyone had any specific questions, you're more than welcome to ask me about it. Um but or Miss Malter otherwise um the cycle is like I said a living document and something that she has worked to make sure is updated for all of you for today. >> Question when we're in phase three. Um obviously then we've made the decision that
038we're definitely doing the program or that's we're already in the program. Phase three is just continuing to monitoring and then we're looking at we want to continue with that program or do we want to look for something else and that feedback is obviously from you your team and teachers correct like it's an ongoing constant like I really don't like this program or I don't feel like it's catching off kids continuous monitoring of how things are going year to year but it means that that program's been established but we're going to continue to monitor with our school improvement teams student voice, teacher input, monitoring that data to make sure that it is successful in media learnings as far as being rigorous and relevant to our students. But it does mean that we're it's been established. >>
039To add to that, one of the things that Mr. Granbeck and I spoke about today was that the monitoring, evaluating, and adjusting. Um, Miss Malter and I often communicate together to help decipher if there are issues in the curriculum, where are the issues? Is it with our professional development? Is it with implementation? Is it with monitoring? Or is it with the curriculum itself? So that we are looking at all of those different facets before we just scrap something and and try to bring in something new. So there's a lot of reflection and dialogue that occurs during that phase of the curriculum cycle >> this year. What are the is there anything major this year that we're looking at? >> Well, we are in a very exciting phase. I would say you know we're evolving. It's
040going really well, but there is some movement that is certainly considered our student needs as well as the budget. Um so I highlighted what those major changes are. um in your board page three, you'll see um our new math update that was approved last month for the most strategic math just monitoring those updates. Um and as well as the civics um update that was approved a couple months ago. Um so those are two big changes that way. Um but then also as we have on the board agender coming up um later this evening a potential Spanish pilot for the middle school and a Spanish read intervention for kindergarten third grade. Um and then I should also touch on digital citizenship that was a part of our board agenda two months ago with Dantastic. Um we'll
041consider that a pilot and so we'll be monitoring um how that's working. Um we'll be'll be collaborating with needs to put and taking a look at the usage. Any other questions or comments? Seeing none, then all in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? >> Item number three, multilingual English learner handbook for the 202526 school year. This handbook is reviewed annually and submitted for board approval. It outlines multilingual programming from student identification and assessment to program services and staffing resources. Is there a motion? A motion to approve the 202526 multilingual English learner plan. >> Second. A second. Any discussion? So this is another annual approval or adoption from the school board. However, I wanted to draw your attention to an update that Miss Malter and Miss Perfect made when they brought this to me and that
042was while the state uses the terminology English learner, we feel that the end result is multilingual learners and so we wanted to recognize that and acknowledge that in this handbook. So that is why we have both versions in here. Um and so you'll see that throughout that is the rationale for that. And so Miss Malter and then also Miss Perfect put in quite a bit of work into reviewing this plan and updating it. You'll note that the majority of the changes come at the end where we've eliminated a significant amount of the appendices because they don't need to be fair. It's not that the forms are going away. They just don't need to be in >> Right. We're still using the same forms. Okay. Got it. That was another >> I for the question. Perfect.
043Any other questions? All right. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. >> Item number four, the Spanish instruction curriculum pilot for Central Middle School. As Miss Maler just alluded to, the Savas Authentico Spanish curriculum materials were selected to enhance language acquisition and student engagement through updated research aligned instructional materials. The pilot curriculum reflects authentic language use and culturally relevant content. This pilot curriculum will be reviewed throughout the 2025 26 school year. There a motion. Motion to approve the Spanish instructional curriculum pilot with Savas authentic for Central Middle School at a cost not to exceed $9,896. >> Second. Any discussion? So, you'll note that there are two Spanish proposals for you to take action on tonight. This first one is specific to Central Middle School. As you recall last year, our
044Spanish programming was done virtually and we know that having a person, a teacher in the classroom directly with our students is more beneficial. And so, Miss Malter worked with our new Spanish instructor to help fine-tune and identify what would what we feel would best meet the needs for our students. And so, that is where this proposal comes from is from the collaboration of the two of them for the pilot. It's exciting to have the staff in the building, the instructor in the curriculum. That's great. Any other comments or questions? Seeing none, I'll have a roll call, please. Ian, >> yes. >> Louise, >> Iron, >> hi. >> Don, >> hi. >> And I'll hold back. Motion carries. Item number five, the Spanish reading intervention pilot for elementary school. The Pacific Learning Spanish Reading Intervention Program
045is design is designed to use for instruction to support early literacy development for students who are Spanish speaking in grades K through K through three. The program is specifically designed to provide targeted instruction to students who meet the criteria outlined in the district's multilingual RTI, which is response to intervention process. Is there a motion? A motion to approve the Spanish intervention with specific learning for elementary schools at a cost not to exceed $3,929. I'll second a special order. >> Yes. So this is the second of the two Spanish proposals. As we talked about, the last one was for the middle school level. This one is specifically for the elementary school level. We know that our goal is to make sure that our students are able to read in English um and write in English. And
046so this works specifically with our second language learners, making sure that they understand and develop literacy in their home language um as a foundation for that success in learning and applying that in English. Any questions? Seeing none, we'll have a roll. Don >> Hi, >> Aaron. >> Hi, >> Louise. >> Hi, >> Ian. >> I >> and I'll vote. Motion, please. Item number six is the Central Middle School athletics budget for the 202526 school year. With the addition of athletics to Central Middle School, a comprehensive budget will appropriate equipment purchases for the addition of seventh and eighth grade girls and boys basketball. Is there a motion? >> Motion to approve the Central Middle School athletics budget for the 202526 school year. Second, any questions or comments? >> So, at our last monthly meeting, uh, the
047school board adopted a variety of handbooks and included in that was our co-curricular handbook that shared that we would be adding basketball at the seventh and eighth grade years to our co-curriculars. So in addition to cross country and track and because of the running of cross country and track last year as well as a number of co-curriculars that we had and that we are going to have uh added for this year along with basketball. Um that prompted Mr. Stevens to sit down with Mr. Majaras and really look at and analyze how much this would cost the district. A reflection I had today and this is my fault that it is not done um is that we probably should have listed this as startup costs or initial costs and then recurring costs. We did not do
048that. Um however, you can see the budget here. And so for things that impact our students and their competitions, we need to have coaches. We need to have transportation. We need uniforms. Uh and then we need the athletic director, right? So we have some recurring costs that are there. We also have some startup costs. Um uniforms probably a one-time purchase. Obviously uniforms fade out. Um and so we'll need to replace those at some point in the future. But then we also have the new software program that we'll need that it has both a one-time purchase component and also the ongoing um component that allows us to continue to use that software year after year. Banners one-time purchase the chairs and things like that one-time purchase. So, uh if I could have done that in advance,
049I should have done that in advance and I did not. Um, however, what I would tell you is that these prices obviously we can't predict forward with inflation, but Mr. Majaras and Mr. Stevens worked on this together, so these are pretty accurate. And Mr. Stevens has gotten multiple quotes, which is where we came up with some of the for some of these items. >> Yeah, I think that was my only question we spoke about earlier was is this um is this budget going to be our typical yearly budget? But knowing that some of these are onetime costs, >> obviously not coming for inflation or whatever, we can assume a little less until we add volleyball or some other sport and then we'll recess off that. >> Question. If we get the parent coaches, are we
050going to pay them as well? >> We do. Um, we pay our current staff members more than external staff members though. So, yes, there is a wage or a stipen that goes along with that, but it is lesser than if it's one of our staff members, and that incentivizes our staff to continue to get to know um their students both inside and outside the classroom. We've had several teachers who've taken us up on that. Uh as well as had some parent coaches uh last year as well. So, we've had both. >> Is there a plan for more sports at at night. >> Let's get let's get basketball. >> The the only one that we've talked about um that has come here has has been volleyball. However, we delayed that. I I know I'm speaking for
051myself, but in conversations with other people uh in this room as well as people on our athletic committee that was with Mr. Majaras and myself at the beginning of my first year here, that first half of my first year here. Um, we feel like there's a pretty healthy volleyball club in town. And so we want to make sure that basketball gets up and running successfully before we start branching out into many other areas. Not only a successful start, but we also want to make sure that we are fitting things into the parameters that are allowed to us by the budget. So at this point, basketball is where we are at. Uh if we go back to the very original proposal, it was that we would do basketball and volleyball next year and Mr. Stevens and
052I had had a conversation in conjunction with Dr. Augusta saying, "Let's just do basketball and make sure that we get things started correctly and have good opportunities for our students before we open up the the gates or the doors to anything else." What's the season for basketball? >> Girls are in the fall, boys are in the winter. Thanks. It's spread out. One of the things that occurred to me today, well, I was reading the packet over the weekend was that I'm excited for our students at the middle school to have this opportunity to come in and watch games at home when we are hosting a home game. I just think that's going to develop more of like a positive culture and school spirit that they really haven't I mean, I know we haven't had track
053and field cross country, but we haven't been able to host any of that at our school. And so, I think that's a really neat opportunity for the students. Will that be a challenge for Forensics or any of the other organizations that would be part of the support with schedule? >> Yes. >> Yeah. I mean, staffing certainly is an issue making sure we have the right amount of staffing to to support all these organizations and events and things like that. um transporting the students around to wherever they need to go um remains a concern for me and I think for all of us just to make sure that um Rightway has the staff and the capability to serve us and the high school and everybody else running their things as well. Um so yeah, I mean
054with the addition of opportunities means that again kids are going to have to make some selections too. So, we'll just have to see how that works in terms of what they're choosing to do and and how much or little we can support that. >> Well, I think looking at the budget, I'm I'm I do recall that originally we said we would introduce volleyball and basketball. With that said, I'm happy that we've only done this one step, okay? because I do feel like there's a lot that goes into it logistically, financially, from a staffing perspective. And I think that it will be this will be a good year of now a second sport, which is what our goal our goal was to get sports back. We're doing it. We're just doing it, I think, in a
055very smart, responsible way. >> Don has Don >> Aaron. Don has something. Yeah. >> Um, my experience growing up with three boys, um, we did baseball and football was club sports >> and we left it up to the parents to make sure the kids got there in time, warm up for the games and get ready. Well, >> yeah, we've we've comp we've contemplated the the situation with transportation to and from games. Um, Ter comes from a school district that isn't transporting students. Um, you know, and that there certainly are challenges for the parents when our schools are getting done at certain time and people have schedules and trying to get kids to and from. So, one of the things that we'll learn through this year is um kind of how that getting two games will
056work and how much demand or um responsibility we're going to have to bring them back. So again, if parents are are um picking their students up after the games and just taking them home, certainly our needs could be different on the way home. But getting students to competitions that start at 3:45, 4:00, 4:30, something like that. I mean, it's just difficult for a lot of our parents. And again, Tara has real world kind of experience with that. And it I mean they figured out how to make it work but it's not ideal. So if we want to start with good participation I think this is the way we have to start and then we'll see what happens. >> But we do have a van and some people are I assume will be certified to be
057able to drive the van worst case like I understand getting people there you might have more kids on the bus going to an event but coming home if there's only you know eight or nine kids, then we know the van have nine. Is that also a conversation? I mean, we purchased the van for a reason and I would like to see it used a little bit more as well. So, I'm hoping that that is an opportunity as well if needed. Um, depending again, >> I mean, both of our vehicles get used every day. So, um, to the extent that we can transport the students using our vehicles, um, yeah, I mean, it's going to be it's going to be capacity. So, we're talking about probably 15 15 person basketball teams. >> Yeah. >> Times two
058and whether they're going the same location or different locations, which Mr. Stevens is figuring out the the scheduling and all that stuff. It's just it's going to kind of depend on what we can get to work. So, we certainly don't. >> When you talk about club sports, Don, are those the sports that are outside of school? Is that what that means? Yes. But most of the students >> most of the students that are playing are from the school. >> Yeah. The baseball club is during the summer. >> Yes. >> And football club I coach right now starts at 5. So there's the time gap versus what we're what we're talking about now >> starting right after school. I'm not saying your concern isn't legit. It just the time difference is what we're talking about. It's
059these these ones will start right after school. It's harder for kids for parents to to make that transition. Not that it's possible for some, but >> generally the generally the parents will always be there to watch their kids play whether they can be there at the beginning of the game or not be there. And we always had signup sheets for those parents that are going to take their kids home so they wouldn't need any transportation in the game. Yeah, I think it'll be vital to set up a system that they're committing to those rides before the event happens so we know exactly whether we >> again we need to have a fullsize bus or can get away with smaller vehicles or whether rightway brings vans or we bring vans but um >> it's challenging. >>
060Yeah, it's a great conversation. I think these are all the right questions to be asking. I think this year is going to be how we answer them. You know what I mean? like this year is going to be like where we collect the data and find out. >> Yeah, I think it's a good point to start and I I agree with your comment about staying within the budget, you know, not we don't want to be veer off too much with too many sports. >> Yeah. We also don't want to disrupt the community programs that are really doing well. like there's no point personally to bring soccer on to football or those programs are so established. So I didn't realize basketball was a thing and I think this is a great meeting a great need for
061the students I think. >> Sorry there is still basketball but not that part of it but but just one comment I'll make Mr. Steven has Mr. Stevens has a big wheel to invent here. Not that Some of it is already created for him, but he's got a big undertaking. So hopefully that's not too much for him because all his other normal life responsibilities, but if there's any support other if he needs any other support, I don't know, does he have access to it? I don't is he reaching out to other districts? >> We've put him in connection with other uh athletic directors in the area. And to go back to your point, Miss Strong, part of the reason that we started with cross country track and now basketball is because that is what is supported
062by the middle school conferences. Um the next sport would be volleyball. Uh that's in some of our middle school conferences, but then after we deviate from those sports, some of them have wrestling, some don't. Um no one has soccer, so no one has a softball or baseball team. So we're trying to stick with the things with the sports that other area districts can support us with because they already have those things. And so we've got a built-in conference which means we have built-in people and teams to compete with >> and to learn from. >> Good. Good comments, good discussion. Um, okay. I'll have a follow up, please. I >> Louise >> Ian >> I >> Don >> I >> and I'll vote I carries. Item number seven is the United Systems Associates HVAC controls contract
063for the 202526 school year. This annual contract performs preventive maintenance minor system changes and monitoring of HVAC systems at all district buildings. This includes alarm monitoring, phone and on-site support and any software firmware updates. And this is $1,500 less than last year's amount, which is awesome. Is there a motion? >> A motion to approve the 202526 United Systems Associates HVAC Controls contract that would cost not to exceed $15,285. >> All second. >> Well done. Getting a lesser contract. I'm assuming that >> Mr. Maduras. >> Yeah. I think what happens there is again some of it is obviously just software maintenance and making sure that they they um have the connectivity to the pieces and parts that we have. Um some of it also is their time on site and so um Gary Byer is a
064trusted partner. We've had USA controls here for a while helping maintain our HVAC control kind of environment and I think he he certainly has a chance to look at the time that's getting spent here in the district. Um he doesn't necessarily have to come to the district for every single thing that happens. Um because everything's wired um there are some things that he can address and take care of uh not necessarily being on site. So, um, he takes a good close look at it every year. If you go back and look, I I don't think we had any increase the prior two or three years before that and now we're actually getting a slight decrease and it's just simply because the systems generally are stable and he's not having to spend the time. >> Um,
065why is Lincoln Elementary School the lowest cost of the three schools? It doesn't seem that much smaller. >> The go. Oh, sure. Okay, makes sense. >> Any other questions? It was ahead of its time in some ways. Okay. Um, we'll call up, please. Oh, no. That's Yep. Sorry. >> Uh, Aaron >> I, >> Louise, >> Ian, >> I, >> Don, >> I, >> and I'll vote. I >> motion carried. Item number eight, school emergency operations and crisis response plan for the 202526 school year. The comprehensive response plan includes updates of personnel and contact information. The edited draft would be shared with Chief McFarland and Chief Bergard. Um, is there a motion? >> A motion to approve the 202526 school emergency operations and crisis response plan. >> Second. >> A second. >> Any discussion, questions? So,
066the biggest thing of note here is that our 4K is coming back on site. So, you'll notice some omissions of off-site 4K uh inclusions in some situations, but there are also some situations where we talked about when we would want to include them in phone calls. And so, Mr. Majeras, Mr. Hanlin, um myself, >> Mr. Carol, um, Miss Hoffman, and a few others really deliberated on when do we want to include people in communication, when do we not want to include people. We also, uh, went through it to make sure that names were updated, particularly for the administrator changes. >> Yeah, as you saw, it's a lengthy document. Um, Mr. Hamlin had at least a page full of things just to consider. Um, again, whether they were changes or not, just to make sure that
067we're all on the same page. Mr. Carol and I spent the good part of a morning also going page by page through it. Um, again, I think we've captured a lot of the minor changes that need to be made. And at some point um if we decide to switch from an SRM type model or >> from Alice to SRM um there may be changes that we need to capture in the future with some of the um language or the references to certain people or or just the general framework. But as you've seen here, I think a lot of time and thought has gone into um the appendices, especially um and so that we know exactly what things we need to address when we have a specific incident. Being able to flip to a page and
068go straight from top to bottom, here's what we would do in this scenario, I think, is really helpful for staff to just grab it and do it. Ultimately, all mentions of the 4K alternate sites that used to be will be removed from this. Yes. >> So, again, to the extent we have students at those um or when we made reference to that, we had students in those um sites, we removed and changed those. But again, in certain specific instances of an emergency, there are probably times where we would want to let the daycarees know that we're having a specific incident, >> mainly because uh they might be getting our students early >> um or something like that. So, um again, we spent some time talking about when that would be appropriate and when it probably
069wouldn't be necessary. >> We're not letting our teachers know over there. We're just letting those organizations know because they I got it. I was like still don't understand why. Okay. >> Got a question about 4K back uh when we did things externally. The Dream Center said that if we started our own program, they would break off and have their own program there. Did that happen or >> Sheila Sheila talked about that during um Mr. uh Dr. Buouie and myself, Miss Connealy talked about kind of our plan to bring this the 4K back in. She did mention at that time that she would um potentially want to do something to make to address students that want to be at Dream Center and just do that there. I have not heard anything about it. I have no
070idea if they're doing something or not doing something. It's her prerogative. I guess >> the nice thing is the district really did a a early intervention and communication with her. This wasn't a surprise. >> She understood when we had the conversation. Again, it was multiple conversations. She understood what we were trying to do. She certainly wants to support this school district in any way she can. um she's she's a great partner with our district. Um and so when we kind of wrapped up our obligations there and and took care of again the the final logistics of moving out and separating out whose equipment was what and all that thing. Again, I think it went relatively smoothly and we're on good terms. And again, whatever she does, she does. But she definitely said more than once
071that she wants this district to succeed. She wants students to be a part of our district and wants our district to grow. It's obviously in her best interest to do so, too. So, yeah, I think we're good there. >> You're saying these maps are all updated? >> No. Okay. >> We won't have new maps until they're >> But they'll be changed and transitioned and it will not label. >> When we when we get the new maps, we'll stick them in. >> That's what I just knew that these were not accurate. So, Okay. So, again, this is a school emergency operations and crisis response plan. We veered a little bit and for the conversation, but we have a motion and a second and unless there's any further discussion, I'll take a vote. So, all in favor?
072>> I. >> Any opposed? >> Motion carries. Item number nine is the adoption of model local educational agency special education policies and procedures. As a condition for funding under the individuals with disabilities education act, which is IDA, the district must establish written policies and procedures for implementing federal special education laws. Our district adopts the model policies and procedures for special education as recommended by the Department of Instruction. Is there a motion? I motion to approve the adoption of the Wisconsin Department of Public Construction special education model policies and procedures. >> A second. >> Any discussion? >> Yes. So, this is a document uh like Miss Wilk read that is produced by DPI. This is something that Miss Connealy was working on prior to her departure and it was something that Miss Een inherited when she
073came on and uh so both of them had checked to see when DPI's last update was and as late as last week Wednesday the most recent document from DPI was 2022. So, you will see that the only changes to this document are that Miss Een was able to add our logo and then the adoption date for you all if you vote yes this evening. Otherwise, everything else is the same as it was last year is the same as it was in 2022. >> And of course, because this is recommended by the DPI, the recommendation is to approve the SPS. >> And I remember us doing this because we talked about death blind and be changed. There was a responsible changes made in 22. >> Any other questions? Thank you for completing that for us. Well
074done. That's awesome. >> Um, all right. I'll take a vote. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? >> Motion carries. Item number 10, adoption of key performance indicators for board goal. New school board goals were approved at the May board of education meeting as part of a process to develop a continuous improvement action plan. The new schoolboard goals revolve around the themes of investing in people, developing future ready students, safety and operational excellence and partnerships. These goals support the district mission which states the school district of Harper Joint One is dedicated to the success of each student through the active participation of students, staff, family, and community. Listed under each of the themes or core areas are key performance indicators and the percentage at which they contribute to the overall rating for the core
075area to which they belong. This will form the basis of a new local school report card to be developed over the course of the 2025 6 academic year which will represent the overall health of the school district. Is there a motion? >> Motion to approve the key performance indicators to support the whole >> second. Dr. available. >> Yes. Okay. So, Miss Wilk just handed out a rubric for you. >> Um, she handed out a rubric for you and Mr. Edog will be projecting this for everyone else in the room shortly. And so I won't reread the four school board goals, but like Miss Wilks stated, the school district of Hartford, um, your administrative team has a proposed a set of measurable key performance indicators aligned to each of those four goals. One of the biggest
076things that we started with as an administrative team is what exactly is an indicator? And so I just want to share with you the definition that we used so that way you are on the same page as us. and that is that a KPI which is a key performance indicator is a measure of how effectively our district is achieving its objectives. KPIs are quantifiable metrics that help track progress towards specific goals and provide insights into performance. They're used to assess success, identify areas for improvement, and also to make informed decision. So you'll see on the chart in front of you or behind me that each goal area includes multiple KPIs, each of which are weighted by a certain percentage to reflect its contribution to the overall goal. The top indicators across the board include employee
077engagement, student attendance, and family participation. As an administrative team, we felt very strongly about those things that they originated throughout our February events. We heard them during our rounding, during our Gallup survey, during our student feedback, our parent survey, and then um from you as a school board. So, I won't go through each of these because I did have the opportunity to sit down with all of you and talk about them. But, as a reminder, each specific goal area counts as 25% of our overall report card. And then underneath each of those goal areas, it tallies up to 100%. So that way we're making sure that each um goal area has the same weight as the other goal areas. So when we look at the investment in people, the top indicators there are the Gallup
078employee engagement survey at 40%, a competitive salary at 30%. And then you can see that the measure also includes staff retention and professional learning alignment. So, we feel that the district has invested really strongly in our Gallup employee engagement survey along with the rounding that goes along with that. We also feel really strongly about making sure that we're attracting people to the district. Mr. Majaras and I have worked with CISA 5, uh, which is not our CISA, but it is a CISA that focuses on finance. And so, they have given us metrics that help show us where we're at in relation to other CISA school districts. The other two areas, the staff retention rate came up numerous times from a variety of different sources. So, we felt that that was also something that should be
079included like I said along with the professional learning alignment. The next area developing well-rounded future ready students. The top indicators um were attendance as web growth and then forward achievement. You can see each of those is 25%. We all agreed last week when we were working on these that if we cannot get our students here, we cannot work on the other things. And so that's why attendance is weighted so heavily. And this has also been a focus area for our assistant principles and dean. After that, we know that schools exist not only for academic achievement but also for achievement of being a well-rounded student. So we started with the growth and the achievement. growth as measured by Ames Webb, which is the screener that we give or the progress monitoring tool that we give. So,
080we're able to measure growth from fall to winter and then from winter to spring and then overall achievement for grades three through eight as determined by the forward exam. The other areas that you'll see are the school report card rating, co-curricular participation, and student engagement. So, we do have each of those as being beneficial to developing well-rounded students. However, they're at a lesser percentage. Um, in terms of student engagement and co-curricular participation, most of that is with our older students, whether it's upper elementary or middle school. Uh, when we look at prioritizing safety and operational excellence, you can see that that has the most indicators. I will tell you, we are very happy with eight. We started with 14 or 15. And um it's because all of all of these areas are important, but we
081felt there were a lot of things that could be listed for operational excellence and safety, but collectively we were able to get it down to eight. And so those top areas include the safety assessment. That includes the things that we can do to make sure that our schools are operating in a safe manner. So what do we think in terms of safety? And then the student reported levels of safety. So we have both our reporting and students reporting both of those at 25%. Then we have the incident rating at 15%. If you approve this this evening, one of the things that we will do is that we will start defining each of these areas and developing a rubric for each of these indicators. And so one of the questions uh that we had dialogue about
082was what does significant mean? Because if we just say significant, that could mean something different to Mr. Pridemore and myself. So it'll be really important for us to clarify what that actually looks like, sounds like, and includes. The other thing that this includes, you'll see, is information about our district's overall health. So what does our fund balance look like? What is our commitment to the technology plan? What is, excuse me, I'll come back to that one in a second. What is our bond rating? What is our audit rating? And then we have the backbones of the district in terms of what does our capital improvement plan look like and what does our technology plan look like? And so are we staying true to and in alignment with what we've predicted for the school district, what
083we've set forth as part of fund 46 or are we deviating from there? So making sure that we're crossing those things off the list within the budgetary constraints that we have. Um and then the very last column, the strengthening of home and school community partnerships. Uh we have a few indicators there. The top indicators are the engagement opportunities, spring conference information, and then our engagement with the community. We felt that those were the highest three. So making sure our families are involved. Um specifically with the second one with spring conferences, we know that there is less participation there. So our focus this year is how do we increase that participation and then engaging with the community. So you heard Miss Will talk about Maxwell Street days. We've also done the referendum nights, the information nights.
084We did the job fair at Maxwell Street days. We've done a variety of job fairs. Um we we've been involved with the chamber and with the Rotary. So what are the things that we're doing to connect with the community? It might be also bringing in our speakers for our community coordinator events etc. And then the last two categories that are on there, our last two indicators are family survey satisfaction which is already part of our survey and then our open enrollment out rate. And obviously the goal with that one need to be that we stop that bleed. um and that hopefully at some point in time um when it is appropriate for the budget that we are becoming a open enrollment net in versus out. So, um, if you have questions, this would be a
085perfect time to ask. But otherwise, what I would say in closing is that this framework that the administrative team put together over the multiple days of the retreat provides a balanced quantifiable structure to measure progress toward those four goal areas and then supports transparency as well as data-driven decision making. and it reaches or forces us to have a continuous improvement action plan mindset. >> I have one question on the Gallup. I know that we paid for that. It was a one year, wasn't there? >> No, it's a threeyear contract. >> Okay. So, we're in our third year. No, we're in our second um you had one year >> and then we did >> remember that. >> And then I do know that um using suggesting mode, I can see that there's a couple of weird
086typos up there from where I accepted all of the changes. So, um pending your approval, I'll fix those things that don't change the meaning of anything. >> But my conversation with Dr. earlier about this um particular uh tool which I think is fantastic and I can tell there's a lot of work and yeah the roof could be more work on top of that to clarify and define for everyone what each one of these means but one of the things that really jumped out with to me in our conversation was about the participation in spring conferences and I guess I'm I'm speaking both as a board member and as a parent because I think when I was in school they were both fall and spring conferences were just an accepted thing that you did twice a
087year your parents came in and had this conference and um I don't know how or when you fell away from that other one becoming a thing you just do and it's expected the same way the fall one but I really feel like that one thing could help so many other of these goals um that we would do. So I'm really excited. It didn't click to me until we talked about it and I was like this this is a to me a very exciting thing to see on here and I hope that we have huge success in that area. Are the spring conferences held in March? >> February, >> kind of spring. Spring in Wisconsin. I don't know >> early enough so that we can impact change still before the end of semester >> and behavioral
088change, academic change, hopefully all those things. But I just feel like that's a missing. >> I was really I was it was like a click for me. I don't think we've done this type of work on our goals before. It's a monumental effort. So, thank you all for all the effort put into it. Like >> I think it shows real commitment on everyone's part to show that we're all engaged and a part of the same community. Thank you. Everyone part of it. >> Echo those comments. It's great. Yeah, it was that everyone who was here as part of the retreat last week worked really really hard and um I I'm waiting to see if there are any facial reactions, but Thursday was definitely a crucial conversation type of day and I think we got a
089lot done. I'm really proud of the work that we did collectively as team. >> Don, would you? Yes. I mean, as far as improving on the open enrollment, we're losing students. >> We are. >> We're competing with >> Aaron and Slinger. >> Well, with two parochial schools, too. >> Correct. >> So, how do we if parents are concerned about religious training growing up? >> And if parents are concerned about religious training, that's not something that we can do here in a public school. Uh, I know Barb and I, Miss Linder and I had a conversation about the different character traits that we can teach here. Um, however, if parents are leaving for religious reasons, I respect that. Um, we all have our own, you know, religious beliefs and so that's important. But when people are
090leaving without ever having been here because they've heard good things about a certain district and they've not even given us a shot, that's those are the families that we want to reach out and make a difference with.
