001anything since we went off the air. We are now looking for a any more questions regarding the school calendar hearing. None. I would look for a motion to approve the 26 27 school calendar as presented. >> Matt makes a motion. >> Second by Crystal. All those in favor? >> I. Motion carries. Name. >> Oh, we got >> Motion carries, but Kirk did say name. Did you get that, Eva? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh we'll move to 5.9 discussing possible action on the salary increase for the 2627 school year. >> Okay. Uh the recruit retain committee has met a couple times on this with the board members present. Um and we are I'm going to recommend and with the recruit retain uh 2% increase in salary or wages 2% is consistent with what we we went
002with on the referendum. >> Any questions regarding the salary increase? >> Um it's pretty much the same as last year. There's really no change. as far as time off. Um the matrix, all that is still in place. And the health insurance was capped at 12, right? This >> kept at 12. Don't know where it's at yet, right? But we know it's capped at 12%. >> Any other questions regarding the salary increase? Hearing none. Can I get a motion to approve the salary increase? >> I'll make that motion. >> Kirk makes a motion. Second by Dave. All those in favor? >> I'll abstain. >> Tom abstains. Motion carries. 5.10. Discuss a possible action on remote learning. >> Okay. Um there was a discussion on it. Uh our our teachers are supported. Um, we talked about it
003in recruit retain. Um, and I'm going to I'm going to turn it over to Mrs. Kingsburg and Mrs. Mr. Ster >> real real quick. And I the board did not see this before it got sent out to the parents. We did not approve anything. And I don't I can't speak for everybody. I was very blindsided by this. And I think for for some time now we've worked on it as a board to try to avoid things like this and we got we got we can't do this. Um I might be in total support of remote learning. I don't think I am but we we needed to have that discussion before the parents got this documentation. So I I wanted to start with that and now I'm excited to hear what you guys have prepared. So
004last school year it was brought to our attention that staff were requesting were requesting and wondering why we're not going down the path of um remote learning. Um in the past there was whether or not this was a legal process. Could we be audited? Questions were unclear. Um so we looked into what that looked like. More and more schools are starting to do it. A lot of our neighboring Cloverville districts already do it. Um, I reached out to many of them, got all their kind of information back as to what they do. Um, shared it with Justin and Chris, kind of let it lay. Um, over the summer. Again, I would say in October, high school staff specifically at our middle school and high school meetings were asking about where we were in the process
005because they just feel that all the other schools are doing it. Is this a way that we could still connect with kids on these snow days? Um, and yet get some learning put in because after last year's, I would say a little bit of a debacle of adding minutes here, adding days here and there, it just got really messy. Um, and I think people just want some clear consistency. So, I would say it was two, three months of conversations with middle school and high school staff that we brought it to recruit and retain >> last two months, >> two months ago. um kind of talked about that pretty heavily, what it looked like for elementary and what it looked like for middle school and high school staff. Um so what we did is we met
006um elementary as if you have kids sent home the folder um for two days in preparation and middle school and high school got uh Google classrooms together whatever their modes of communication were for their students what their plans are for those days kind of lined up. Um I think where we were next um the letter was drafted. Uh everybody seemed to on board as a staff and united in that front. We kind of went through some expectations for staff like everything needs to be communicated up by 8:00 so families and parents know what's going on. We took in consideration that maybe some older kids are taking care of younger siblings, maybe grandparents are that might not be able to help with work. We kind of looked at the big picture and we all kind of
007agreed on having two-day flexibility of getting the work turned in, reviewing with the material if something like math was sent until for instance, that they would come back and review some of those things and that anything turned in could be added towards attendance. Um, >> so just kind of reiterating um what we've had or in conversations with the staff is we need to be extremely flexible. You know, like Mrs. Coleman'sburgger said, older siblings could be taking care of younger siblings or they could totally not have internet at home. And that is stuff that is real and we need to be flexible and and we can't talk about that enough. So, if there's a day where we do do remote learning and they're unable to get that work done, there is that two-day grace period. Um,
008and reviewing that information in class as well. So, it's not like kids are sitting in front of screens or anything like that for eight hours at a time. This is much different than when we experience CO. Um, so the goal is about 15 minutes of work per class. Um, and again, there's that flexibility and having to do up to two days later after the remote day, which is pretty standard with schools that do do utilize remote learning. >> Um, can we ask questions? >> Absolutely. Um, so I'll just kind of reate what Dererick said. Um, I'm I'm not necessarily against remote learning. Um, I just would have loved to hear this in a conversation uh here as opposed to getting a letter home as a parent. Um, a lot of questions that came to me
009then um you know because all these people were getting this letter, some of which actually took the time to go back and watch meetings and look at agendas and didn't see it. So then they're like questioning when this got approved. But just some questions that were asked again like you just said, you know, what about um the the younger kiddos, internet issues, kids sent to babysitters, um staff that have small children. So if we have staff members who have small children themselves and those kiddos are home and those kiddos are running around, what does that look like? And I guess I would just want to make sure and I don't know how you guys can do that, but make sure there's that flexibility like across the board. I did read um like what you guys
010had sent and the ideas that some of the teachers had. A lot of really good ideas, a lot of really creative ideas to keep kids engaged on that day off that didn't include eight hours of like classwork. Um so a lot of creativity there and I like that. But again, like you had said, we have to have a ton of flexibility. As a working parent with a lot of kids, when I go to work on a snow day and my kids are home, I'm worried about a hundred things and school work is not one of them. Yes, >> I'm worried that, you know, are they going to sit on a screen? They what are they going to have for lunch? Who's going to be responsible for them? What am I going to make it to
011work cuz the roads are crappy? Like all these things. And as parents, we're like, it's really hard to then have to also worry about our kids doing their schoolwork on a snow day. So I just I just hope that there's that flexibility throughout. >> Yes. And that's very real. So thank you for sharing and that it it will be flexible. It needs to be flexible because life is happening right and everybody's situation is different. >> Um just to highlight um Crystal what you said about younger kids and being on screen. So right now um kindergarten or 4K through fifth grade um do have those review sheets. So it is paper. it has nothing to do with um being online. And then as you get into middle school, that's when there is a little more potential
012to have like Google Classroom or something, you know, that that requires the internet, but not necessarily depending on, you know, which class it is. So, >> and I just want to share I after the parent letter, I also received an email. Um, this parent is just is not in favor of it. Um, doesn't think that they're going to get as much out of virtual or remote remote learning as they would be in school. Um, the suggestion they had thought would be um maybe reduce some early release Wednesdays to make up time. Um, but I think just more clarification on like what our plan is and why it's more beneficial to do that instead of trying to add a couple of minutes to each day. >> I think that's my question with it. Explain to me
013how this benefits the the kid. How does remote learning help educate the the the kids? Because we're it's always supposed to be about the kids, right? Mhm. >> How does remote learning, how is that a better thing than taking the snow day and then subsequently maybe having to make that up at the end of the year? >> So, I think the biggest thing if you look at making enough time, what does a couple minutes in a class do? >> I guess that that's kind of my biggest I've lived it, I've been through it. I can't say that kids got anything extra from >> four or five minutes in a class to be honest. Um, >> and then we also heard feedback adding days to the end of the school year is very similar, right? Because
014those traditionally turn into like checkout days >> and taking away like no school days, making it a school day now planned for vacations and trips. Like I don't know if there's like a perfect plan, but I just feel like when you look at 15 minutes, I'm going to just pick on my kids, right? fifth fifth grade if she's reviewing her math facts or math worksheet. I just feel like that's a little bit more than adding three minutes on her math lesson. I just don't I just don't see more of a benefit with adding minutes throughout the day. >> I think what we are looking at more as a review day and at least keeping them >> involved. >> And our elementary, we will say, has enough minutes built in to the day that they have.
015Um, so again, that's not a huge emphasis for the elementary students, it's more of a review. Um, where a middle school and high school, we need those minutes that they're getting that extra learning. So, if they read 15 minutes at home versus 15 minutes in the classroom, like that's part of their ELA curriculum, right? So, you can do that outside of the building. >> So, just a scenario, you know, last Friday the snow kind of crept up on us. We didn't expect to get that much snow. Nobody was really geared up for a snow day. So, let's say the teachers didn't hand out the work. We can have a virtual day for the high schoolers, but we couldn't for the elementary, but like you said, it's not a big deal because they have plenty of
016minutes built up. But is that how you'd see that playing out >> or are we going to have to be monitoring weather and taking materials home in case? >> No, the plan is to have elementary have the packets out already at home. >> Just very review stuff they've gone through. nothing that is new material. Um, yeah. >> So, and I guess that was so so that and I got that too from changes kind of keep them like Mr. L said, keep them on task. They're doing something. They're they're stay in the routine of doing some homework. And I guess I wasn't quite sure on the high school end of it what we were going to do. Was it going to be virtual with them? Cuz I mean, are they going to be doing review or
017are you going to be trying to give them stuff that they're currently working? I think it's a combination depending on the class um what their plans were and like Crystal said there was some creative stuff um that some people were doing. So it might be a um I'll pick like social studies. It might be a um a review that they find something in the newspaper or online is like a big highlight of something in or a paragraph a current event. Thank you. and a reflection on. Right. Our kids can always work on writing that that's not a >> that's what I was kind of being creative and applicable at the same time. >> What I was worried about was like like some concerns were like if somebody doesn't have good internet and we're doing virtual
018well now they're going to be behind. They come to school now as a teacher going to step right in. We talk about flexibility. Are they going to step right in and have more assignments now for them to take that material review with it the next day? Um I don't know. I pick on math a lot, but you bring it back and you go over the math problems together. You look at current events, share, you know, think, pair, share with your class what you talked about. >> So, I guess my question, a question I have would be, so a middle school or high school comes the next day and doesn't have any of that work done >> and it's a review. Are they are they like losing points? Are they lost have they lost attendance? Is
019like what's going to be what's going to separate the kids that do it and the kids that don't do it? So yes, the attendance is a part, but they have the ability to do it within the class if needed or at git or you know what I mean, there's extra time to make it up or finish it. >> So let's say it's on a, you know, a Thursday, we have that snow day, then they would have Friday and most likely Monday, but I guarantee from looking at what teachers put that majority would have it done that day or the next for sure. >> Would we use the two snow days built in first? and then go to virtual. >> Yes. So, >> go ahead. >> Just so you know, we're deliberately choosing the term remote
020>> over virtual just because virtual is very associated with sitting in front of a screen maybe on a Google Meet or a Zoom or doing work like that and this is different more than likely, you know, unless there's a class that doesn't want to >> would not be used until you absolutely had to. >> Yes. So it would be days one and two are snow days. Three is a teacher day, right? Is that what you're >> That's how it is now. >> Yeah. >> So >> what we propose is that it would be a remote day. Teachers would be on >> on on online or or whatever be able to answer questions and things like that certain parts of the day. >> Remote learning preparation. >> Yeah. Three is remote learning preparation. So they would
021>> So they would have three days. So that would be their contract. >> Yes. >> So the staff would have to So the fourth day would be the first time that students were expected to do something. >> Yes. >> My fault. >> And and back to my comment why I voted no for the calendar was I don't think there's enough snow days in and this virtual learning only got brought up to me as a board member in the last recruit and retain meeting that the board members were allowed. You guys might have talked to it with staff but not with the board. I believe we talked about it somewhere along the line and they said you were going to come with a plan and come back to us before >> we did talk about it
022I believe in close session either October or November. So >> certain certainly appreciate the work that you did with involving staff at you know and recruit retaining st other staff members and how how this could look because >> I know my wife talked about some things on how it would look with family and consumer science. I mean it's going to look completely different in those CTE classes as you know versus the academic style classes and it might be more individualized you know give them a something to work on that and and explain what they did versus a review you know depending on where they're at in their material to pass this tonight or is it a possibility to see what some public feedback comes back and I know you put a lot of work into
023it and I know the teachers are I just we want to see if we At this point for this year, Matt, if they got to come back, they're going to have to come back on a Monday if we don't approve it. What kids are going to learn for one day after Memorial Day? My thought is if it does happen this year, make them evaluated. How did this actually work and play out? So, I would only approve it for the finish of this school year, not for the next following year yet. And then we could approach it at that point. So, I'm just going to say I I'm not a fan of remote learning, much less virtual learning, but I believe they we have a good plan here and I would like to at least see
024it happen once if we have a snow day and just see once and then get feedback from that and then we can adjust it or or get rid of. >> I also feel like that gives teachers an idea of what they sent home if it's feasible or not. You know what I mean? cuz like maybe third grade got sent home stuff and she's like, "Oh, maybe that was too much." I'm not sure, you know, fifth grade. I don't know unless they try and what students struggle with the internet and whatever else. So, >> I think I think at the end of the day, we're not going to make everybody happy. There's going to be some people who do not want to come in June and they do not want to add days or they have
025a vacation planned and they're not going to want to add a day that was previously off. And I think that the other half of people are going to say they don't support remote learning. So, I think either way it's like kind of But I agree. I think that if we try it, if we need to this year and and work out the kinks if we had to. Um, >> and again, key is flexibility big time. >> I would probably agree with it if it's let's test it like you said, it's not going to have academic effects on the kids that we're going to test it. This is going to be going to be remote. You know, send some homework home, review with kids next week, but it's not going to have academic. It's, you know,
026see how it goes. >> Just to clarify, how many days have we had off this year already? >> Two. >> Three. >> So, we're up to it. We're up to it. >> So, so the the prep day is done. >> It's already been done. >> That's what that list. >> So, the next snow day would be the first remote learn day. >> Sure. >> Okay. And I know a lot of teachers have props with their classes like this is like one of those things of expectations of what to look for in um just hearing some of the kids um that they kind of already know what to look for in their certain classes. So >> So on the remote learning, can the could the kids go out can we support something where the kids will
027go out in something they're going to possibly do in a career or something later on in life in college that they could be looking at that kind of stuff? >> Sure. like advance like career planning AC. Yeah, for sure. Any other questions on remote learning? Anybody willing to put a motion together to approve or not approve just this year. I'll make a motion to that we approve it for the rest of the 2526 school year. It gets re-evaluated and we'll take up further discussion with it for the 2627 school year. >> Got a motion on the table to approve remote learning for the remainder of this year with a re-evaluation at the end if it happens. >> If it happens need a second. >> I'll second. I just have to say, do we have to
028change anything then? Because we already approved the calendar for next year and this is on the calendar for next year. >> We can go back. That is something that we can adjust. Okay. >> Next year. >> Got a motion and a second. All those in favor? >> Opposed. Motion carries. 5.11 discuss and approve the roofing project and elementary parking lot. >> We'll take this one at a time. Um, I'm going to recommend that we do one roofing project, which would be the roof above 4K and fourth grade um, at $62,000. That's what I'm going to say. That is the That is the one that Brad thinks is needs it the most. And that's just my recommendation is that we do that one. >> And that would also >> Yep. >> Yeah. >> That would also
029be the recommendation from building and grounds. >> Yep. >> Is that roof leaking at this point? >> Not yet. >> We figure it will be the chance. Has a good chance. >> It was evaluated as the worst section of roof currently on the building. Yep. Any questions on the roofing project? >> This is a silly question. Maybe it was already talked about, but who's doing it? >> M. M. >> They're a little bit. >> Yeah. Pretty common. >> Yep. >> They have done our the last two sections we did last summer >> and we did get two bids for it, but M was this year. >> Okay. >> Their work has been good on the last couple. >> Yes. >> Okay. Yep. >> Any questions on the roofing project? >> Motion to approve. >> I'll
030make that motion. >> Kirk makes the motion. >> Second by Nikki. All those in favor? >> Motion carries. Elementary parking lot. So, this is this is a a big huge project. Um, we did send out for bids. We had a discussion of of money with it. Um, what do we get? Seven, eight bids back. Uh, we opened them two weeks ago >> or the 10th. Um, they came anywhere from $470,000 to $620,000 or over 600. >> 663. 663. All right. Uh there's three of them that are in between 470 and 500,000. Okay. Um in talking with Brad from HSR, um he says, "Just remember, you don't have to have a knee-jerk reaction here because it's set on the bids. You do have 60 days to say what you're doing or what choose a bid from
031February 10th. So, um, in our building and grounds on Monday, we talked about having 100, maybe a little more than a 100red to go into fun at the end of this year. Um, >> that's the 2526 school year. >> That is this school year. Yes. 2526. >> Um, >> so you'd be looking at 350,000. >> Yes. in next year's budget. >> So, my recommendation um and I would say Julie's as a bookkeeper would be to push it to next summer. Um now, you have this amount and then you have two more budgets that you can kind of work with on that um with this with with things in the air with the vote on consolidation. I think that's another reason of of just holding holding on for a year. So we know what that is
032very it's not a possibility. It is that this building will be used. Um, but I think to establish that I we both feel that we don't don't want to take a loan out for this and and have that something over our head going into this consolidation. >> I guess a couple of things for building and grounds. When we first went to bid, we were anticipating bids closer to 700,000, >> but also 60 what we paid HSR was in on that not in that means. >> Okay. Um the bids came in a lot lower than we thought. So that's why it, you know, we we talked at this board level a couple of times of paying it over the course of two years. um with the bids being this low and if we could pay for
033some of it this year and the rest next year, you could do it this summer. I think the building and grounds was also discussed and we discussed again on Monday. How long do you keep waiting on projects like this that just need to get done and we are 95% and I'm going to say it, we're 100% sure this building is going to be open at some capacity. So, that parking lot needs to be done whether it's next year or the year after. My concern is we have a $470,000 bid >> right now. Next year, if that bid comes in at 570, we didn't save a dollar. We just lost money. >> We lost money. >> And it might, who knows? It could come back cheaper. But >> the chances aren't great. I don't think um
034those are just my concerns and I like the fact that we have 60 days and I think there's some questions we have to ask HSR. I don't think we need to make a decision tonight, but um I think we we need to consider still doing this project this coming summer. >> I think we need to dig deeper into what we know with HSR because we should have a contingency because there is contingencies on these bids too and I think that needs to be dug into. I think building grounds needs to work into this. I'd like to table it for now. I think last year, was it the or the beginning of this school year when there were some issues out there that we had to have somebody come in and do some >> So, sooner
035plumbing came in, uh, $6,500 to fix the portion that collapsed, >> sink or whatever it was. I just worry about waiting longer. How much more do we have to invest on these little patches to keep it functional until we decide to do it? You don't know. >> That's what I mean. The longer we put it off, the more we're susceptible to having that happen again. So >> that's just my concern. >> The other thing, if we got to rebid, is that going to be an extra cost? Chris would have >> we'd have to talk to Brad. >> Like I said, we need to look into it more as a building. I feel at this time >> they're going to have to put together a whole another packet. They're going to get paid for it. What's
036that going to cost us? Two extra need a motion to table. >> Um, we don't take action. >> We don't take action. >> I think that that would be my suggest and we'll have a schedule back. 5.12 presentation on the midyear AGR report. >> So, Mrs. So, Mrs. Komasburgger and Munki worked on the midyear AGR report. Do you have it in front of you? >> Yeah. >> Or so. >> All righty. So, here's my question. Do you want me to go through it and tell you where we're at each grade level >> or Good to Good to review it for those online. >> Okay. >> Yes. Thanks >> cuz I thought the numbers are very good. >> All right. >> Want me to do it? >> So the AGR reports is >> uh primarily focused
037at grade kindergarten through third. Um looking at two curriculum areas of reading and math. >> Obviously we want 100% of students be meeting grade level. Um that's our goal right now. Um after the winter testing, 88% of kindergarten students are at benchmark for reading and 92% of kindergarten are at benchmark for math. Um you can see some of the things we are doing in school to try to reduce those gaps. Um so we have small class sizes. We utilize onetoone or small groups. We use title for additional support with intervention. Um you can see that we have a variety of different um evaluation process. So Ames web is our um scoring method for reading. Um and we use fast bridge for math. Ames web is something that came about with act 20 um that you'll
038hear later on about the district early literacy plan as well. of really trying to hit on those early areas of reading and math. Um, looking at first grade again, 100% is our goal. Our first graders for reading are at 86% which they've improved and first grade at math at 90%. Second graders for reading are at 84% for benchmark and math at 87% um for CBM math and 84 for a math. So there's different parts of math that get evaluated for second and third grade. Um our third graders are at 81% and math for third grade is at 76 for both areas. Um just want to reiterate we have had an influx of students coming in grades 1 through three um with having academic needs. So that does kind of skew some of that percentage um
039because each kid no matter what their abilities are are grouped together in that scoring. So >> awesome. Thank you. So AGR stands for achievement gap reduction small class sizes. So they have more individ indiv individualized learning with with a teacher um or an a possibly um because they feel kindergarten through third are your >> most core core times of learning. So primary any questions on that so this was their second measurement. So then at the end of the spring semester you have a final one. So you have three different kind of scores for each. >> Yep. And then our title team does a really good job of tracking growth over the years that they'll share typically at the end of the school year of where groups are. So >> thank you very much. >> We
040did good on that one. >> Yep. >> 5.13 discussing possible action on the CISA 10 service preliminary agreement for the 26 27. >> All right. So there's some work to be done here. I just wanted to show you where we're at with the current uh contract, what it looks like for 2627. Um we are sitting very similar to where we're at this the 2526 school year at just under $300,000. Um so a lot of people say, "Well, how was that?" Um that is the majority of our our special ed assistants um psychology or psych psychologist um speech and just a whole format of other things that we use CISA for. So um what I am going to recommend is that we just take a look at it. I am working on it. There's a couple
041things that I'm working with CISA on and also working with Greenwood on that we can maybe hopefully bring this down a little bit. So, okay. If you have questions on it, please let me know or ask right now. >> So, we'll move to approve at the next meeting >> at the March. They want they would like the contract by the end of March. Okay. >> Are you going to pass that out to us? >> I can. Isn't it on there? >> Yeah, it is. >> Is it? I didn't. >> It's not on my board, guys. I didn't log in. >> We'll get you one. >> Copy. >> Sure. >> Okay. So, we're good on that one. We'll we'll we'll move for action in uh in March. >> Yes. >> Okay. 5.14 accept grant from the
042Love Foundation. >> Okay. Um so uh the the coaches in our football program um including Mr. Stgo has AD um things come out across like Green Bay sends out stuff um gloves whatever uh and and this foundation was uh was out and you just fill out a thing and they they you get in a random drawing and our LG football program, high school program got this um cleat. So, we get 55 cleats free um for the fall. >> So, Davey knows this is the Jordan Love Foundation if you know. >> So, I I thank our >> thank our coaches for doing this because there's been a couple things that we've gotten maybe not this big. This is a pretty big deal. 55 pairs of cleats uh from the for Jordan Love Foundation. Um I believe
043early summer they will be asking for sizes and and going from there. So just asking for the acceptance of this. >> So how many players currently? >> 45. >> So we everybody should be covered. >> Yep. >> And if we need to trickle it down into middle school, we can trick it down into school. So >> you figure about $100 per pair of >> footballs. >> So this is a silly question, but like do those kids get to keep those cleats? >> Y >> say it's kind of weird to like Jordan asked for them back at the >> end. Do they belong to the football program like weird? We give them to the 49ers. So, you say that we do have like 30 pairs of of spikes that people leave behind or just give back
044because they're not going to use them anymore. And >> so, we have kids >> we pull from them all the time. >> Yeah. So, >> I'm just curious. >> So, fortunate and thank coaches that do this. We need to motion. >> So, I'll make a motion to accept a grant from the Jordan Love Foundation uh for 55 pairs of cleats. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All those in favor? >> I motion carries. >> 5.15. Update on the strategic plan. Okay, you guys can help after I'm done talking if you got anything to chime in with. Um so our uh strategic planning committee uh met um they do h we we had a transparency and communication survey out there. Um I believe before it hit and we sent a to finalize it and saying
045it was in our newsletter. Uh there was 21 people that had taken it. Uh it closed on Sunday, February 15th. uh at midnight. Uh there was 47 uh people that have taken it that that took it. Um and the responses range from from the board and the administration um that we're doing an okay job. Um I think I found more that administration, specifically me, um needs to continue working improving. So, but overall improving, doing better than we have been. uh but still can improve. So that is something that we will continue to work on. Do you guys have anything that you want to add? >> Okay. So we will take that data and move forward and continue working on improving. I'd be curious to know how many like what 47 percentage or 47 people is
046a percentage of like how many people how many parents in the district like >> so if you go off of if you go off of the advisory vote there was like 2,300 people between the two communities that voted. So go with that. And so what are you talking 11,200 possibly? >> Is that right? Sound >> fair. >> So if you want to see the results, I'm sure we can hand it to you. >> So you're wondering why? >> No. >> I don't want to see the results. I just I'm thinking >> what the percentage of 47 compared to,00 people, 1200 >> because I just I you know I >> What is a pretty low percentage? >> Very low. I think that >> you know we're doing our best to try to put these surveys out
047in the strategic plan committee like you know you want this feedback. I mean as much as you maybe don't want to read all of it or see all of it but you want this feedback >> and to have such a low percentage of people fill it out is a little disheartening. >> Did anybody try using it on Chrome >> for your browser? >> I think I did. >> Did it work? >> Yes. It didn't work on my Chrome. I worked on Okay. Outlook Express for me, but now on Chrome. >> Interesting. I just Yeah. You know, you put these out there and you really want some honest raw feedback and and you get such a low percentage >> and I guess thank you to the 47 people who filled it out. But in the last
048couple days that doubled because we were sitting at 17, 19, 21. And then all of a sudden the last couple days is when we >> I think we threw a a reminder out later in that week saying hey it's closing Sunday >> right >> and I don't know what more we could do. I mean other than putting it out there and putting a reminder out there once. I mean >> newsletter >> I mean it was in the >> Was it in the U elementary newsletter too? >> Yeah I think so. >> So I seen it in the >> in the district newsletter. No, TRG. >> TRG. >> Yeah. I guess the biggest thing to emphasize is something that we talked to is people if they want to come in and talk like that is one
049thing we want people to do like if you do have a concern or you do have questions because you hear things out and about like stop in if you want to make sure that you actually can catch one of us about something like call the office and schedule and we'll try to meet with you and talk because I think sometimes people just have some miscommunication of what they hear and what's out there um or just unclear of procedures and how things happen. So just want to have that open door where if people have questions that we're available and I don't want to say like call the schedule but if we have you know meeting with the teacher an observation like we want to prioritize the community and parents time um that one of us can
050be sure to be available. So, >> I would strongly encourage them to come and talk. All right? If they have an issue, they can call the district office. They can call me. >> My number is out there office or cell. Um I did have last year I did have um I ran into a a parent outside of school and said that they were going to come to open session and have a public comment. I said, "Why don't you just come and talk to me Monday morning?" Came in within 15 minutes. We had it talked out, solved, and taken care of. And I said, "This is how it's supposed to work." So that's what I said. Encourage them to come and talk to one of us. >> Any other questions on the strategic plan? >> 5.16
051update on the consolidation plan. >> Lots of meetings. Um so we we obviously have our joint board meetings. Um we have core meetings. Core meetings get kind of meet board presidents supers and then meet with HSR and kind of help prep for task force and in our joint meetings. So we have we're always constantly staying ahead of what's next. Uh we had a task force meeting in here a week ago Monday. Um I thought it went well um in both or all three buildings. Uh it kind of went with a map or maps I should say of showing where bus drop bus stops are where kids are picked up from the bus. Um and then kind of open enrollment uh had a number of layers of this on it. Um I thought it was informative.
052We did a tour of our building. Um so those two those first two meetings were a lot more of information um talking facilities and going from there. And the text the task force meeting on this coming Monday in Greenwood will be um financially driven. It'll be talking finances. Um I know they have a um a couple um former superintendents that are now in different roles. U one with the government of with with bills and things like that that will be there for round table um questions. Um, but I do believe after that third meeting with the task force, things will get into more of what where things are going to be located, talked about, and some scenarios in that realm. It's all
