003new building that I T 2017 to 2021 four years and I was one of people was HED at that time to change program and um our efforts is now showing what I saw on Friday I think I was blown away by what was built the kids activity and what they were doing but I was also Away by the egg program that has developed because of the anim that are there the room that is there now for them to that the opening to the greenhouse where they don't have to walk around all the time I think it's a greenhous of my teaching experience that's probably one of the most active green growing I love garden I think it's incredible what comes out of there every year since I've been here or was here um but there's
004one other thing and it was something that I remember when I was here I wondered about and that was culinary the meets and that how do you do that in high school how do you have a program like that in a high school was the vision of that person and it's develop when you come in and you're going to see a young lady who reachs out to a company to bring in meat to do an experiment with how to get the enzy to break that meat down you got someone who's got Vision now and can take that into the community take that into producing maybe me Etc someone who has an opportunity because of the VIS of that person by the facilities that are there to do more than any other school our contingency had
005two egg teachers with us and those teachers could not believe that Jefferson has that and I know personally years ago it didn't but it does now that's impressive what you have for your kids what is getting LED given produced and talk those kids it's second to nothing seen so I know personally how much time has to spent to improve a program at the tech program that was in shambles 8 years ago it's striving now it is what most schools would like to have or even come close to but it wasn't done because I was I had to spend a lot of time on it wasn't done because I had to push a lot of Pap to make things look good it was done because I spent my time in the tech department my hours I
006was given that freedom that's the kind of person that I see an someone who wants to be in there with the kids with theal he wants to return the get ready to be able to produce a program that no other school in the are has and that's theary with how to take care of property that's you want to not paper so if Pap are our will catch up very quickly if what you have in time what you keep thank you thank you for the opportunity to speak if that's true that's what I'm speaking about I think from the position that instructor Gary Olen was instructor in when my daughter went through she graduated in 2008 she was in the program became chapter president her senior year from my perspective I blame him for being because
007my in River Falls Animal science when she graduated she had a goal ofing sheep that's what she started through mr's encouragement she went to there and after she escap there encouraged her to take a sheep of lamb not because she but she appli herself animals Lear [Music] them now we moved into the school district at Jefferson in 2014 by buying a small Farm just west of town and we're raising some sheep sheep are not my passion my passion is supporting my daughter is something she has a passion our goal each year R here dra my daughter Laura in his class she started LLC and one of she do whether they're or not they are and perhaps how manyet are in something she's gradually getting better at part of also is using a machine called magn
008wave that she could treat beef animals dairy animals sheep pigs dogs cats people and with something which is all started back because strain muscles or joints this machine I don't know better she was speaking but it helps the healing without and so not just but a lot of do encourage andry I don't know exactly what the accusations might I heard rumor maybe he not doing enough I don't knowen involes people bring that's Tom be I'm say right here I've beening in the a classroom since was here I mechanics end of it um it's something I enjoy I think there's a program here that's definitely needed um he started the heels ofon but he's expanded to the point where kids star to get interested I got to know quite a few of the kids and it's
009a kind of I don't know how you want to say it but it's surprising how much these kids will pick up on stuff it isn't that they don't have the knowledge to work on the modern stuff because we're working on the old stuff but you got to know the basics of the engines basic of mechanics go start working with some of new stuff so um I think it's a great program um when I went to school in Fort a um we had a program but it was nowhere near this but uh I enjoy working with the kids and I do think he's working doing a good job agure now is no pH um it's something that we are all interested in because I'm weat every day that's part ofure thank forgive me to read the
010last name here perfect hi I am Al and I am a recent graduate of school and I speaking on behalf of the depart I Tru think that the a department we have and we the surrounding area we have I and if we of I don't think that having one another teacher would be able to students what they need to we truly do have a good after bringing out a second a teacher last here we have truly off and what we are able to give do I know what became student because I was a student only last year and from what I got my I got last year was drastically different we on so many more field tricks cut so many more topics and if we cut one of our teachers the students in further future
011PA will not get the same education that department is after Renovations a little how to use students a little B slow start after we used to the we will be the best we will not beor will be the best in the area we will continue to be the best without letting other schools will open enr if we we are the are in our part of State you will trly see the uh aass uh aass thank you that's all I have to say Magie hi everyone I'm Magie mman I am your as a student who's been involved with freshman senior year the grow and support I've received from not only my current both of my current FSA teachers but along with one that I began with has been tremendous to me as a person um they
012have pushed me ways that I will never be able to them for um they have made me see the bigger picture in life and what I want to do so this year I recently got the amazing opportunity to facilities to start an independent study on the development of dry aging and wet aging along with chemicalization of meat so I got a lot of donated to me by a high quality company called and the only reason I started this well had a passion but I was pushed and kind of nudged to get out there and put myself on the line to have conversations with and you know and I donated to me and I started my research which I think is amazing it's something I can see myself doing inure but I a lot and I
013think that the direction our program is headed is going to be amazing for all students that have to come I know I have a younger brother who is a sopore currently and a sister who in seventh grade and I want for them all the opportunities I got and more because I know how impactful this program has been to um I'm going to off College next year anding a degree in bus and then I on get as and there been a lot of tough conversations that point but a lot of people along the way my parents family friends but my teachers those are the people that have the greatest difference and ITI say thank you last list minutes come your name and Association hi my name is I am a student chapter um this year was
014a new opportunity for a lot of students have things we never done this before I don't know it looks like pure joy and happiness know that they truly enjoy what they're doing they truly have for us they care for us as a freshman I didn't like I came toool but I really enjoy two classes I had my English n and My Egg I didn't really feel comfortable classes somehow my teacher that I started out really made me feel at home school potenti I had for our future figure out what I to all that they did for me in my life I didn't think I was going to do that when I started that was and as a [Music] us and not everyone that [Music] way see a help you hand us just to sexual without
015my advisor pushing um OPP and I didn't really appreciate it at [Music] time wish to address the board hi paulers I'm from the second best EG par in the area because I this is the best one so I'll bow down to that tonight thank you guys School M for doing what you do I know it's grad school student because body she had been in so manys into W um she sent me a note she sent me and there in that note she said a couple times ever got from a student threw away she there she said I was student but I learned something different said I um I said gu that's bu to get so talk to that guy his a little bit him to consider coming back into this industry a few years ago
016before I got into it myself disappear but we both bus experience years and there certain things you just can't meure agult could all I think as a world we need to maybe real really [Music] really educal somethings to do that young kid over there by the name of Mr olon makes it that I'm a little jealous of him because I'm in the second have here is none in schools probably willing this long time to do things with your youth not here on behalf of him I'm not here on beh of him I'm here on beh of those kids I'm here onf of the community because you ass here him on board I know how this community struggled that's why I got that telephone call and that's why do what's right over here the kids AR
017up in the high school yet keep this young man his family on board much in this world but I do know that I don't blame himen work or twoy to has a connection with youth I work with horses on the side too Anders they want to know how we work with them if we get to do same things do teachers good teachers have that same about he's got that Knack I'm forunate for you guys in those KSS that and I'll probably doing the same crazy thing that a bunch of you become a school probably to when I finally gr School more years so here fors here for this community here for myself making right decision thank SCH P few years I've been super involved in very confused on what I wanted to do I was
018introduced to agriculture department but since then I've felt a connection especially with my two advisers who I could more thankful um I'm currently admitted to's major agricultural education would have made that CER decision if I didn't have I have um especially last year got very close with here and I've been taught a lot about what it means to have a good work EIC and what it means to be a leader and how to help kids devel their skills I know very few teachers will take the time to build a connection with their kids in the classroom because they have so much what we have especially in our agriculture department is amazing because it's so it's so catered to every kid I work very well hands on I learn better that way kids in those classrooms
019Department cles can't in a math class same department and I know kids who strugle their grades in other classes and they come down and well sit down and do their work list and it's because those teachers is work hard she wants but you have to have it's like having oneach on gonna get nobody's G to have that one-onone feel that we get so a second act teacher has been amazing but keeping the connection with the one that I've been closer with again has helped me could imagine kids not having that experience that I got not learn the same things I got to they're not have the same experiences but it's very much because you had the two and the two work so well together especially all the kids see them the same look at them
020as parents or like your uncle or Aunt whatever that's just how it is we're very close it's like a family down there so trying to change that of kids I know a lot of fresh come connection with two next year I really have to say is that what have is amazing Department School apartment near what we have get to so much because of what we have could you just introduce yourself I and School District all years and one of the reasons that we Jefferson because of Inc Department was an interest for my kids it has become more than a passion my daughtered to beer with the idea met advisor and who has coach so many things in life that I can't even begin to tell what he's done for my and um you get that
021in every department or every teacher it's really incredible program that you guys have there take because it is it's just and itself not every teacher up and things off so throw in another are's not a lot of people who would volunteer to take FFA kids for four five days you know to the National Convention um or willingly just you know take them all these opportunities that has offer many Opps they sit [Music] down they down with the individuals in charge of that group that um they got to see how things this is today they have such a foundation phenomenal it is anal it is way needs to to have all this achievements you need need your and then second teer not that's everything anything that they can make what it is and going like I

025in the past 2013 to Nows [Music] biolog and said does not and only kids that were districts that sitation [Music] uh the next thing I want to talk about tonight was fental consent so districts must not annually they have obtain consent Min allow to access specific Google applications for we use Gmail Google Google slid name it um so we will add that information now to our registration for sign up sumol and Adel understand you want say yeah thees and Jason and last thing I share with you is the executive sumary for East Elementary we in East Elementary [Music] and the is really coming will be comp so our like doif currently more State education commission I would [Music] to first I want to thank the opportunity to go with a lot of a lot of
026to do hard over the workshops that I went and then worksh just to tou on some that I took St what do trans and so of of the things that they learned basically Wisconsin as a whole has um a substantial amount of people that are not moving into the state and we have a that is moving out the state so a lot work finding enrollment is coming from is the we don't have a lot of new families coming into the state itself um 75% of students are located in 30% of the districts so theg um so again 75% of students in% dist um 220 there were more the I thought that was umic and I wanted to share that um um for the age of 25 to 34 years old more young adults are leaving
027the state so if you look at the um the economics of it if you will that is the exact age of starting new families so again that will impact school dist and their funding um the decrease of students to public school for the years 23 24 5% private schools um in a 7% increase and high school increased 37% um so those numbers too I thought very important for to share with everybody um by 2028 2029 the projected decrease would be 7% so that is pretty agressive and that is again that is a a general number if you're looking again at 7% of your students being in 30% of the districts school districts are going to have a much higher percentage of um decreasing enrollment um and then in 20124 they discussed referendums um there were
028148 referendums um 92 2 years previously so the referend grown quite a lot in just two years um the referend that we did have in 2024 um 1.43 billion was requested 1.09 million approved um that was the main not that I took regarding the Imp I was important everybody understand we respons that as a state as a whole this is not district and are actually on the in side um and then forcing quality sta one that they had a lot of um great ideas sharing but what it comes down to is um providing environment personalized growth and professional development and recogition those are the three things that goodal sta for and I that was important to share and then um here um a lot of things developing District Talent was providing opportunities um from what
029I with scho District that something that we do pretty heavy in it in the elementary level Middle School level high school level and then it looks like there's cross sharing among schools to which I think it's outstanding um one of the things that they did talk about was providing Wellness Wellness with blue shots um that is something that I've heard of happening here maybe it has happened here but then something I the long that we speak of was really it was really quite impressive and I on what school district that was um the last thing was that there was a Personnel committee meeting that was held and it was just the staff that was available to have discussions with board and I thought that was very intriguing and wanted to share that as well thank
