001So the first update I want to give everyone I'm just trying to keep all of the actual that we have started the 94 archive and Google um is as of on Friday and March which is um you know our K3 students um received the Ames web assessment again. So that was the second time we did that with the district and then our third through eighth graders did the forward assessment. So, third grade kind of took the double bank of having to do uh two state tests at two different state tests at a time. Um, and I'm going to kind of share a little update of what our data is telling us. So, sorry it just didn't get complete because we were still testing kids on Friday. Um, so, uh, been a progress. Um, um, so
002Where are we? What's our implementation? Where are we? So, we are implementing implementation required items. Our second round starting next school year will be a times the school district. And what does that mean? Do the A1 assessment on all the diagnostic assessments. So, all newly identified students. So any students that were identified below the the 20 40 percentile low on the AS web I reiterate that because it doesn't matter if we have any other data points that show that a student is doing well. Um if that triggers it they trigger a plan. So um and then we go in and do additional diagnostics. Should we be concerned? Was this just a bad day of lip something else occur? Um and our reading team goes and does a follow anywhere between assessment usually a coronics assessment
003survey biological awareness survey following record um that we try to find out and then we collect that information and then the implementation plan and we have our family survey is required to offer to any um input data will be set at home for XAP for April tomorrow. Um I mean with all the grade level tapes and letting you know when all this information comes out I don't like to send it without letting them know it's coming often time they get questions from parents. Um, we did however send out our paid results um for spring. They do not have a requirement for a personal treatment plan, but it does kind of tell us what to expect um that might happen. um garden and we've taken a look at that data and our there's instruction specialist that
004been working with Sarah and safety and quality kind of how can [Music] we have that web page that they can push out to them and let them know of all the activities. that they can over the summer. Again, I'm always a little cautious because it's one day a and we aren't doing a significant amount of diet, not six on them yet. I think they're still really huge. Yeah. Um and um just a little bit about what dealing with next. So, you know, it launched K to third grade. I've only taken two parent questions on how to ask as soon as we get is going really well. That's so people are ask people are they have to acknowledge in there and that's how they would be. Yeah. Um the personal reading plan again will be sent
005home with next staff if it's otherwise it's live document each night. they make support changes or whatever a parent can go in there. Um we are working on a multi level or fresh lines in some of our progress monitoring tools. That's just teacher speak because right now to identify students don't have progress on what currently are but we are going to be able to be spending some time what other data that we think is better than so that's kind of we have a major spreadsheet going with that information to do that um you have 10 updating custom letters about where they are and actually ins um I know I shared with in January that we have a family involvement website that we created didn't require grade started there so but that our team now had
006a free um pretty decent we're still looking for a couple more things that that's um ready to go and give that our student and then um about complete on the Wisconsin required training training for our staff out of the 30 hours of training that it takes we've given them hours. So I think we did pretty good at supporting our teachers. Exactly there. That's where we are on. I did want to give some update of where we were. I updated this chart of another personal reading plan by grade level and what their percentage was and I did that in January and then I did that for April. And then I added about how many kids we could exit from plants that no longer fell under the 23 percentile. Um grade levels which meant a total 18
007students but some of those students in April fell a lot but we're still keeping their reading plan. Um because we don't want to yo-yo the families with reading. So even though a kid might have been I'll say a 22 and in winter we put them on a plan. Maybe they got a 30 this time which we said we didn't need a plan but we still don't like the 30. So we're going to still going. Something's working. Let's keep that going. Ultimately we don't want kids on and off plans. We want to track that a little better. So they're not exited but I'm telling the board that they are. So those kids are part of the numbers of the amount of personal reim. So um you know some kids that include in essence and some kids
008will add you can kind of see the percentages um you know really you know our lower class sizes adding a couple kids with our grade levels that have smaller class classes couple kids kind of maybe up their numbers. We're keeping our eye on first grade. We got a really good handle. Um we're a little slow on our small room instruction with our new literacy adoption. That kind of came just really hit heavy end of January and February. So not seeing you know that we really needed that hard next year. So, we'll keep our eye infection. I would uh to be honest I believe but if we could triangulate two data points so I mean I'm ready with the 24th percentile we'd probably only have district in these grade levels it look like total so well
009and it's just the one data point and you know any given day a kids I mean our kitty our teachers will tell you right now the kids are so distracted like by things you know they'll want to talk about their day instead of reading the letters you know so you know and we're not allowed to use anything else so data elsewhere outside we don't there is a reporting requirement for us at the end of the school year and then we'll collect They will probably have some data points coming from state. I will tell you as many reading plans as we have here, I definitely can tell you from talking just to my peers like this is nothing. And I think it's a lot. Yes. Yeah. So, um again requirements. So, thank you And then what
010are we working on next? Data next. every time you remember all those diagnostics that we put in um those don't get auto syndrome with the next path but we've been doing a lot of staff training and epigeny assessment um like that phonics the phoning awareness assessment we're entering all that data in next so that our student so next year if these kids pop up again we have all this assessment information we don't have to start to say oh this is what they did in short follows we know exactly what they got and we can start testing from there on instead of taking it right because we don't we have auto syncs on a lot of our data into next path but that can only data all of our students are taking. So if we do
011a running record with the student or we do the core phonics survey we're not doing that to every student so they need to be entered but it is very it's it's We have the I Ready spring assessment coming. So that will be another data point. Um the family involvement website. What's next? I'm just want to tell you now our math team wants to replicate that. So we're working on how do we take this great stuff for our families and reading and replicate that in math. So we're going to work on that. Um we talked about the training staff. So they have to finish that and then um finish it by the end of our school year. We have an approved well you have an approval promotion policy and you have to do that for July
0121. So that's going through policy I think May May 12th and then to approval. Um so that's a legal requirement. Um, and and we're not like dragging our feet on that. The requirement meant for DPI to put something out, which they did at the end of December. It took WP some of our things about six weeks to kind of tear apart their policy and come up with things that they liked. So, um, you know, and then got some drafts going, worked on that. Um, we continue to work out the bugs. what worked this year, how can we improve? Um, I'm busy scheduling summer work and our reading team begins working, our interventionist and our instructional specialist over the summer to kind of fix what we just wanted to spend more time with now that we've
013lived it. Um so that um look for additional progress monitoring tools not just as web um as web statistically was not designed unless a student's in an intensive intervention. So when it's being used outside of those purposes, it looks like it's not growing or they're super growing in design. So we need to keep working on it. And then of course I'm really good at spending money. So, I'll continue to spend on um but we have found some holes in our interventions that we're going to continue to do um and build and um transition some of those things. The majority of it is really just more decodable textbooks um for our classrooms. We don't have anything in there currently. And then we want to make sure we do a different focus and intervention than what they
014were doing in the classroom with so we have different settings we're buying trying to look at each of them and say everyone loves these books they say but we want them to go I want that set. So, you know, we kind of have to take that, but we have um all of that kind. And of course, the thing that I'm very excited for is our new role um where we're bringing on um special designed reading interventionists to work with our students with disabilities. Um we had it's had amazing candidates. Um we did screeners today and we're very lucky going to be back. So really excited about that. Um, you know, just to add to our but also really to just prioritize those those minutes with a really qualified teacher. And I just want to be
015honest, I think everyone we're bringing in, I don't want to misspeak, but it would be almost everyone or maybe that one are dual certified, which means they are special education certified teachers and certified teachers. So, I was really open for that and wow. So, that's kind of what we're what we're working on next. Um, any questions about that? Yes, we have to do the forward and the only way only based on state law is that they have to pass state cuts. So, or they in a reading plan, right? Yep. Yep. So, yep. I shared that with standard halls. Yep. Marie and I kind of drafted that and that'll be moving forward. But um so we do get um data from Arrowhead once a year. We get it just got it not even um and um
016we get the freshman first semester data. So this was the 23 24 eighth graders. How did they do their first semester at Halo Head? And they do that on a grade report. So that's going to be the the first kind of thing we review here. And then what they do is they give us um ACT pretent sophomore classes. They're releasing data from the state test that they took as freshman. Are you following me? And now for the first time ever since we require all our kids to take it in eighth grade here, we can look at those sophomores that was the first year. How did they do in the same free and that and how did they leave? And that's the exciting graph from earlier. Let the cat out. So let's take that and dive
017in a little bit of lum night and we try to really work with our parents thinking that data or how they set the course So to me that means for example we did a good placement that kids are in the right place and it means that um you know we did a good job of um helping our parents like classes that are individual that kind of um our courses um our students and what courses they take and then arrow head um they're with total arrowhead the stars mean they're fewer or less students on there so we don't want to identify um but overall I think you know our kids are doing well in their um you know class um and classes. So like something out English class. Um or they can take an acceler this
018is a name change an accelerated black where basically they can take biology together in their schedule that means that they make it every day. So that you see black one is what do they get first of that process I think was again choice Right. What they will is something many places our kids do. These are all freshman offerings. Um foundations of algebra that is only by teacher. Um the majority of the time are students abilities. It's a little more hands on kind of just that priority standard like students. So then we have we have algebra which is regular might but thinking they have geometry or geology. They have al which is a daily math class where they teach out every class. So again, Well, you don't know what the grade is. So that would be
019a kid that is Um again I would say overall I really distribution in the classes quite a process to identify kids into that process having we next year. Um either advanc and we had seven students choose to go to and Um, she needs for sale. And then class data and then be So a couple things again which is 24 right. So that's our sophomores um that all of the tier schools deliver that to all students. So it was the first time it's the only test that aren schools that are on. So that um and then at the same time the state um changed their statewide test um and that's delivered online that get similar And then the first year that I will tell you um particular level versus What? So when you're graph. Our amount
020of students that were college and career met the benchmark at eighth grader in math when they took that test at Arrowhead. That's a question that um science know I don't tell that it's a combination of things every something we have to learn and kind of track it's mine together um so you know by unable and then you see in English 9% of our kids left us again. So what's interesting to me it's just I feel like we're setting them something when we have conversations I like to talk data like when it gets parallel sometimes wonder how we're setting them prepared that's the question we sending our kids I want to be able to prevent still don't have 100% we've got to do but when they're there and how kids are doing on the state test
021they'll kind of now arrowhead to say okay this is what our feeder schools are doing and now this is what we're doing where where's new also so the first year um I don't want to rush that right I want to look at data trends as over time um and then the last inerson so my head. Where did that come from? Well, that's whoever you talk to, right? Like Arrowhead say we have four data points, right? I mean, arrowhead gets six out of the top 10 is a report card into them. So you got it subject but we don't have a common data point on that they don't have that and how can we work together and I know right how can we help I'm not going to have a lot of that and as a
022parent I had a child um you know I think um you know we're sharing this information with them they didn't provide us right numbers and then I didn't care that tell story and again I don't I never say what day of the two right data on this next year that we're really going to have to speak about and we'll have another ACT score if they just thank you Maria appreciate that thank you transition uh let's see here looking to speak this evening. First on my list is Ashley Rens. Not really speak question. Hi, parent of the community and uh school district. Ashley, uh just a question. I've been asked to find out um why we're not posting the minutes after the meetings to the website. Obviously, we're posting the videos. We're posting the agendas in
023advance. emails are coming out with the agendas in advance, but apparently the meetings have not been the meeting minutes haven't been updated since February. Okay, we can make sure those get up. Thank you. Thank you. They're not posted. Is that accurate? To the website. Okay. It'd be a month delayed anyway because we have they're always a month delay. Month delay. They would be a month delay. So March March is getting Does March get approved tonight? No. Approved March tonight. March approved. March gets approved tonight. Yeah. Then we post it. Yeah. So they're always a month behind until they get approved. We'll let them know. Thank you. I was starting to get worried there. So we're right on track. Thanks for February is on there. Yes, currently. So we are approving March minutes this evening. I
024promised parent I would ask. No, thank you. The question you had us questioning the questioner, right? All right. Uh moving forward, we have one more signed up this evening. Katie Fchman. Hello. My time pro is solo, right? Um, Mr. Griffin, welcome to the board. Um, congratulations on your position. Um, obviously, you know, my name is Katie Freshman. I hosted the community forum or I guess it was the candidate forum and unfortunately you weren't able to make it, but people still want to know a little bit about you. So, could you tell us just a little bit about your background? like you know how long have you lived in Martin? What's your professional background? All you know just give us a short bio. Sure. Um I uh I'm married with two daughters. They're 25 and 22
025and we've been in Merin for almost eight years now and most of my prof professional career was a United States Marine Corps officer and then a pharmaceutical sales rep. Um, when we had our oldest daughter, I transitioned to being a stay-at-home dad and then shortly became a uh uh both a coach in high school for track and field and cross country as well as I had my own coaching service for young men and women that were uh going to go into the military or themies or Rosi commands. and I have uh over 25 young people that are currently serving on active duty. Uh about 40 total, some that are left active duty. Um and uh as far as getting involved with the board, I believe children deserve a challenging, dynamic, and engaging education. And I
026don't think that if it's a public school or a private school or or a charter school uh matters. What matters is the education that's provided. Um I think that I obviously have a responsibility for the education of the children and the knowledge uh that their parents have with access with uh uh teachers, lesson plans, curriculum, etc. I'm a firm believer that our parents are the first teachers of our children and I think that Merin has set a great example with that as everything I can witness to from talking to friends who have children here. Um I also have a fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers. Um and uh Ron can attest to this. When I first met him I said if I win and I become a virtuous man or better more virtuous man great. If
027I lose and become a more virtuous man, great. And if I win, but I lose my virtue, I don't defend my faith, uh, that's not going to happen. So, uh, I'm looking forward and I'm honored to have been elected. Um, and I think uh the school board is integral to the success of the school. But I also believe that the positions the five of us hold are as important but not doesn't get the most notice as any other elected uh position throughout our country. Because when a child does not get an education that leads them to a life of success in either their vocation or avocation as well of a life that would where you would love learning all your life that's partly our fault. Um I think we're blessed in Merin. We have uh
028great two great schools. Um how do we make it better? uh how do we provide more access for uh uh all the children in the area? Um I am a huge proponent of uh uh children who are you know uh in need of special education and uh I love the way that in this school setting they're part of the classroom and part of the student body. Um cuz I know from personal experience, nieces, nephews or or other family members um how children could feel ostracized very quickly. And uh um I told Ron, Steve, Bob walking around and Maria even um every time I came into the school, you see happy I saw happy kids. I saw kids that were uh confident and uh you know enjoyed being here and you know when you see something
029like that you know there's a lot of things that go into why they're feeling that way and uh so I'm honored to be here and I hope uh to work hand inand with everybody here uh the next three years just to make it better for our kids. Thank you. Great. Appreciate. Thank you. Okay. That is all who have signed up. Any who else like to speak this evening? All right, we have 610. So, we can go ahead and roll directly into this evening's meeting. All right, I'm going to call this meeting to order. April 28, 2025, the uh Merin Board of Education meeting. If you'd please join me in the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible,
030with liberty and justice for all. Okay. So, this meeting has been posted in all the normal and customary posting places. Uh, welcome Patrick right to your to the board this evening. Uh, just looking for a motion to approve tonight's agenda. Motion to approve tonight's agenda. Second. We have a motion and a second to approve this evening's agenda. Any discussion this evening? Yeah, I look concerned about where we have this uh discussion about committee as a whole. That should be in new business. And uh that's first order of business always on the fourth uh Monday in uh April is board reorganization. So I find it kind of unusual to have uh this committee report here or this discussion. Can you move it to new business or is there a reason that it's placed where it is?
031I placed it in the in the beginning because I I feel that that may have a I know we need to make a committee subcommittees for regardless of this discussion. Um but it may impact someone's desire to be on a committee or influence to say well you know I'll just take the negotiate or I'll take you know facility committee just kind of I don't want to say willy-nilly but I feel that it might um direct an individual if they know that they're not going to be on the committee if we're going to committee as a whole compared to doing it after the fact possibly it can go either way. Yeah. I just because of its policy, it wouldn't go into place until the earliest. It would be June. June, correct? June meeting. Correct. Yep. And
032so you'd have two months almost of uh committees. Yep. That should be uh active committees. So it kind of it can go either way. I have no problem moving it to new business. So we need to then resend resend the motion to approve the agenda. I'd like to resend my approval of tonight's agenda. Second. Motion and a second. And I would like to make a motion to approve tonight's agenda moving the discussion about conducting committees as a whole compared to subcommittees to new business. Second uh to new business. Item one. Item one or C or D. Item eight. Item one. Item eight. Okay. We got a second. All right. We had a motion and a second to pro approve this evening's agenda um with the exception of moving uh item five to new business as
033point A. You need to. All those in favor say yes. Yes. Post say no. Motion carries. Okay. We're moving forward as uh Dean pointed out. Um, before we move forward, I'm sorry. I just want to let everybody know that I'm having a bit of a family emergency, but I wanted to be here tonight because of the importance of the meeting and be part of the team Patrick's first meeting. I am expecting a phone call from my doctor. Not that I'm guessing it's going to come anymore today, but if I have to step out, that is why. So, my apologies. Hope all goes goes well. Um so board reorganization is our first item this evening which we start with the election of officers. Um we can begin with the election of board president. President. Yep. We'll
034start with president. We're looking for nominations for board president. I would like to nominate Justin Kent for president. I'll second. Do we have any other nominations? Yeah, I'll nominate Rebecca, board chairman, president. Second. We have any other nominations for board president? Okay. And we do this as a roll call vote. Correct. Doesn't have to be. Doesn't have to be. Okay. Okay. Um, so all those in favor of Justin Kent as president, say yes. Oh, wait. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. We need to go to discussion first. Yes. Okay. Uh so we have a motion and a second. Um is there any discussion on these nominations this evening? I'm pleased to be nominated. This will be my third year with the board and I'm really pleased with how our strategic plan is going and things like that. So
035I'd be happy to be a part of the leadership that portion of the leadership uh board. Thank you. Any other discussion this evening? Okay, now we're going to a vote. Uh, all those in favor of uh Justin Kent for president say yes. Yes. Post say no. No. Motion carries. Okay. Moving forward to vice president. Nominations for vice president this evening. Nominate Rebecca to be the vice president. Second. Okay. Motion a second for Rebecca IMS. Any other nominations? I'll nominate uh Pat Griffin if he'll take the nomination. I'll second. All right, we have two nominations. Any other nominations for vice president? Okay. Um so P Rebecca and Patrick Griffin have been nominated for vice president. Any discussion this evening? Again, happy to serve. This is something that done for a while. Familiar with parliamentary procedure and
036happy to be able to serve if the president is not available to run the meeting which Mondays you never know baseball season, right? All right. Any further discussion? All right. All those in favor of Rebecca Ims for vice president say yes. Yes. Opposed say no. No. Three yeses. So motion carries. Rebecca is vice president. Moving forward to treasurer. Looking for nominations for a treasurer. Which um you served in? Yes. Last year, right? Um Ron, want to recap of the treasures responsibilities? Um they are a check signer, so we'll have to make a signature. Okay. It's pretty much about it. And if there's any bank issues, uh bank will be texting you or calling you too as well. That's so far the president president gets that as well. You get you get you get that too.
037Not the superintendent. It's interesting the lead for that. All right. So looking for nominations for treasurer this evening. Nominate Dean Doberton. I'll second that. Any other nominations for treasurer this evening? We have treasurer clerk and then just member y. All right. Hearing none. Um any discussion on dean's nomination for treasurer. Okay. All those in favor of Dean Doberton as treasur say yes. Yes. Yes. Post say no. Motion carries. All right. Moving forward to the position of clerk. Uh Nikki, you served as clerk last year. Uh so taking nominations for the position of clerk. I move we nominate Cole Cotton for the clerk position. I'll second. Any other nominations for the position of clerk this evening? Okay. Hearing none. Any discussion of the clerk position? Nicole, you've served two years. Is this still okay? Yeah, I've
038bounced around a little bit in there. I think I did. I was treasurer for a bit and clerk. I enjoy it. I think I do my duties. Well, you do. Well, you got a really nice signature. A really nice signature, which is the most important page being a clerk. I like your notes. All those in favor of Nicole Cotton as clerk, say yes. Yes. Oppose say no. Motion carries. That's it. And that means uh to recap, Justin Ken as president, um Rebecca IMS as vice president, Dean Dbertton treasur, Nicole Cotton as clerk, and then Patrick Griffin as member this year. Okay, the good news is we all have equal standing anyway. All right, doesn't matter. Okay, ready. Now we are moving forward to uh committee assignments. So I would ask before we move forward here,
039maybe you just can list them. Yes. with current members. Sure. Sure. Let me pull that up. So, so negotiations committee, if we were going to start there, negotiations right now is Dean and Justin, which negotiations committee met once last year. As you go through, it might be helpful to say how often. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, sir. The negotiations we met one time this past April for approximately 15 minutes. Okay. Yep. And some years it's an hour for the most part. All right. But it's a commitment one time a year typically and then uh any So we'll take nominations for Do you want to go through the whole list or do you want to please? Oh, you want the full list? Oh, the full list they're signing up for. Okay. Policy, I'm sorry. Policy was uh
040Nicole Cotton and Troy Anderson. Uh policy uh meets probably oh every other month. Um they meet with our staff on meet and confer sessions uh approximately three times a year. and then ultimately any policies that need to be brought forward. Next year is the fifth year, so we're not going to have any policy revisions for next year. So, it's not as heavy a lift as what it will be moving forward. So, um again, I don't envision a lot of policy work being done next year unless for instance, we do have the act 20 policy work that has to happen as required by state statute. So, I would say about you know, I'd say six times a year for about an hour each time. Okay. U finance committee Dean Doberton and Justin Kent. Um again we
041meet at least quarterly typically quarterly so about four four to five times a year. Uh we review quarterly financials. Uh we do review get a first sneak peek at all the budgets. Uh ultimately either the preliminary budget which is happening next month. Then you have the annual meeting and then ultimately the October levy as well. So approximately 30 minutes per meeting approximately. So um facility uh last year was uh Troy Anderson and Dean Doberton again typically meets two to three times a year just to take a look at what other main facility projects would be on the horizon. Uh approximately 1 hour again when I say facility that does include technology infrastructure as well. So, um, and then CISA1 rep, again, it's as was Troy last year. Again, as active as you want to be,
042you are considered the Merin Community School District delegate. So, you'll be getting those emails and you will get to vote at uh their voters meetings too as well if you if you wish to go. Um, WASB last year was Rebecca. Uh, again, you can again just getting more more WASB. wouldn't say maybe it's the same WASB things but ultimately when there is an opportunity for to be delegate to be heard uh if you wanted to attend you know some of the specific delegate meetings that opportunity is there too as well um then we had student achievement uh which was Rebecca IS and Justin Kent that typically meets oh about seven times a year Maria up there hooting and hollering there um but about seven times a year again just really you get curricular updates ates
043you get the first sneak peek at all the district student data as well as uh you know some of the instructional things but like this year the big lift was act 20. So um also like say next month we're going to be meeting to preview our professional development calendar uh as well too. So that meets probably about seven times a year between 30 and 30 minutes and an hour. That's the rundown adjusting for this process. Can we go through and have everybody say the thing that they'd most like to be a part of? Is that something that we can get people's interest because people need to usually serve in more than one? So getting one place that you're particularly interested in. Yes. So as our policy stands currently, two members are allowed to be on
044a committee. Correct. Yep. Correct. Yep. So I would say self-nomination in this case would be the most uh absolutely fair way to go about it. So we'll start with the negotiations committee. currently Dean Dabberton and Justin Kent. I'm willing to stay on that. I'm fine stepping off if anyone's interested in joining that committee. Anybody interested in that committee? Other words, I'll stay. You guys did a really good job. 15 minutes of my life. It's just great. So, it sounds like Dean and Justin. Do we make a motion? I'll make a motion. Believe we have to make motion to assign. You're making a motion. Uh so negotiations. Make a motion for both the gentlemen to be on the negotiations. I have a motion for Dean and Justin to be on the negotiations committee. Do we hear
045a second? Second. Motion in a second. Any discussion? All those in favor say yes. Post say no. Motion carries. All right. Policy. I would like to stay on policy, please. I would like to be on the policy committee as well. Make that motion. I'll second it. A motion and a second to appoint Cotton and Justin Kent to the policy committee. Any discussion?

Motion to approve the consent agenda. I'll second. We have motion a second to approve this evening's consent agenda. Any discussion this evening? This is going to be in that consent agenda. It is. I did include it in the consent agenda. It's in part of the packet. Should we not be talking about that? You did include it. I did include it. I did include Becky Hadley. Yeah. I'm just saying as
050a board, shouldn't we be talking about that? Somebody resigning during the year. Um, she was an in again. I don't know. I don't have the Sure. resigning on 59. Yeah. I I just know that we found out about it this on Friday and submitted a letter today. So, giving us two weeks notice as a support staff member. Yep. Would you like to pull it out or you wanted to move forward? I'd like to pull it out because we we need to talk about it. Okay. All right. So, uh we need to resend a motion of tonight's consent agenda. A second. Second. All right. Motion a second to send that motion. make a new motion to approve tonight's consent agenda minus pulling out the resignation of Becky Becky. Yep. Okay. I'll second. We have a motion
051and a second to approve this evening's consent consent agenda. Uh pulling out for discussion the resignation of Becky Hadley. Any discussion? All those in favor say yes. Yes. Oppose say no. Motion carries. Okay. So, now we're going to move forward to the uh specific personnel action which is the this evening's letter received from Becky. Yep. So, received the letter. I was re Bob received notification. maybe he knows a little bit more that he can share that's not, you know, personal in nature. But yeah, she had another employment opportunity that she waited till the end of the school year, but the employer, they needed her to start. Becky's worked for us for about a year. I'd say a little over a year. Uh she worked about five and a five hours, I think. Five five and
052a half hours in our 4K area. So, thank you, Becky, for your years of serious service for us. Was there any liquidation of damages? with two weeks notice for a support staff member. Is that something we should in a school setting it's very difficult when people cut out a month for the schools. We certainly can we can bring that up through our employee handbook revisions because right now in our employee handbook it says two weeks notice there is no liquidated damages. the only damages that we would go back is if she used, you know, too much personal time up and in this part of the year and I know in knowing Becky's attendance, she hasn't. Okay. So, uh there would be no liquidated damage, but that's something we can look at. Um and I'd have
053to talk to Bob Butler about that because it is not a contract, it is a letter of appointment, right, to see what kind of leeway we do have as the employee in this case. I'd also want to know what other districts do because if we're doing something for an IIA position that nobody else does, it could hurt our recruiting. Yeah. What do you mean by that? So, if we start doing liquidated damages, but nobody else does. I see. Okay. Thank you. All right. Let's get back to the approving the resignation of Becky Hadley. So, uh looking for a motion, please. So, moved. Second. We have a motion and a second to approve the resignation of Becky Hadley. Any discussion? All those in favor say yes. Yes. Post say no. Carries. Okay. Uh moving forward to
054delegations to be heard. None have signed up. Anyone like to speak? Okay. And we are going to move forward to the district administrators report. Over to you. So, uh, no, no principal or student showcase this month. Uh, open records, the typical ones, I've been getting more financial ones, interesting enough. Uh, but then when I, uh, respond back to them to say, "Okay, it's going to take several hours for us to do this and here's the price tag." I don't hear back from them. So, uh, local national a lot more national requests of late uh, coming in. So, this looking for people looking for data to add to people looking for information. Yeah. When I ask they need to narrow it down and then I still, you know, say it's going to be x amount of
055dollars. we need that for our policy and I share our policy. I don't hear back from them. So, um but nothing out of the ordinary at all from that standpoint as well. So, donations this evening again was approved in the consent agenda, but uh would like to thank the Benjamin Sinclair, his family for their support for our our STEM program. So, it was a matching employer uh situation there. So, thank you very much. Many reports. Sure. So, uh, strategic planning committee again brought got brought back together. Thank you very much for all of us. I think we had about 13 people. We had almost everybody there. Uh, which was great to see. Uh, again, we did a recap of what it is that we've been accomplishing. And again, that's basically what we've been sharing with
056the board the whole year. And then you'll also see some of the, uh, preliminary things that we put forward for the from our administrative team that we continue to work on and we'll be presenting to the board here, uh, very shortly. And just wanted to get some of their feedback too as well. So again, thank you very much for the people who who came back and uh we spent about an hour together. So what feedback did you get? Um got very good feedback uh from from that retaining to what it is that we've been doing this year. And then uh again, I'd have to go back and take a look at some of the specific feedback that I got. Um I know uh Pastor Mary Jane wanted us to kind of take a look at
057and see what we could do with Merin's uh oh, what was Ashley? I can't remember the gentleman's name, but it was the Nobel Prize winner from like the 1920s for Merton. So, we talked a little bit about that, about how we could possibly bring that into, you know, some of the highlighting our programs and things like that. But, uh, and then ultimately we talked about some of that community engagement piece and again creating a survey to be able to ask our ask our folks and our community about, hey, do you want to get tied to our Sunday communications, but then ultimately asking them a survey about what they would like to hear more about and what are some of the barriers that you see from a communication standpoint? how would you like to see information
058brought to you as a community member who may not have a child in our school district. So we talked a little bit about that and again that's all going to be implemented into our next newsletter. So so yeah so it was a good meeting real good meeting a lot of celebration lot of celebration going on there. So that was our strategic planning committee. Um negotiations. Again, we talked about that very briefly. It was a very short meeting. Again, you'll see as a new business agenda item. Uh the negotiations team did reach a tenative agreement uh that evening with our teachers union auto the the mer branch. So again, you'll see the work of that a little bit later. Just to clarify, it was a short meeting this year because of the compensation committee and that's
059correct. Yeah, it was a short meeting. Now, typically in years past, it's always kind of been a shorter meeting because ultimately there's only so much that can be bargained, but the district can offer above, you know, CPI and things like that, but a tremendous amount of work was done ahead of that. Again, the the teacher compensation team came to uh not only worked 20 plus hours, but came to the board in a close session, presented it, uh the teacher committee team presented it to the union as well. So, when we met, everybody was on the same page. So yeah, a lot of great work by that Pete. Something I never would have thought we would ever get to is balancing out the salary schedule. Yep. Um we thought that we could get there within some
060years, you know, over a period of time, but being able to do it over one year, um it was great. It was great. I'd just like to say thank you to everyone that worked so tirelessly on that committee because it's a lot of work and their time did and effort that does not go unnoticed in trying to create a a system that works for 60 plus employees, 60 plus people all across the spectrum in their careers looking to the future about being able to attract new talent to as well. It was a big task. So we we feel very very proud about what we were able to do. Thank you. Student achievement. Okay. Uh student achievement. Again, I would again highlight again kind of to Justin's point. Um if you can take a look at
061that last half hour before the meeting, uh again we highlighted a lot of our ACT 20 work. Again, thank you to Maria and the reading team, but ultimately every teacher kind 4K through third grade uh put a ton of time into making sure that the the assessments, the reading plans, the parent communication was immense. So, and then we also did have, you know, our fourth grade teachers and our fifth grade teachers taking science and reading training. So, it was a huge effort. Again, kind of a celebration of that work and some details of uh what we saw in reading plans, how we're responding. kids are kind of exiting in and out. Uh but uh but again, a lot of great work by Maria and her reading team and uh and our primary school staff. Very
062heavy lift. Very very had one question for Maria. I didn't ask earlier. The that talking about how much work it was this year, the reading plans will remain, but how much of the learning process will not be on their next like how much of this process once you've learned it figure out how much work this is going forward. want to do much better on student engagement. Those are the two big areas for next year. Okay. So, I guess I think to specifically we there's a 30-hour training that was required. 27 hours of it was contracted. So, we freed up now 27 hours. I think there's the the training portion. So, I'm a teacher. I do my training portion, but then when I go into a new system for the first time, I get out the
063things I just learned. I have to go back and redo them and that type of thing. So I presume that as you go spend more time on the system it becomes more usable or you're figuring out what you need to fix because it's very silic and pattern which the teachers and the kids get. But I think there's I think you guys are talking about two things. It requires science or reading training which is required for every teacher in the state of Wisconsin that's teaching and reads K through three. That's one piece of our training this year. That was the 30 hours that Dr. Hman was referring to. And then you have the actual implementation, the new piece of the part I'm talking. Those are the ones that we're going to continue to refine, put more
064time building in some more student engagement routines in the materials kind of what I said in the update. Also, you know, get more decodable text while focus is what we're And do you have sufficient budget for the decodable texts that you want to get? Do we have what sufficient budget? Do you have enough money? Yes, I do. I worked with Dr. Russ on the budgeting for the last probably three months. Everything they're asking for, they'll get Thank you, Ron. Uh I meant to do this earlier, but because it's a new board, um if you guys don't mind, we do a really great job in this district with their board packets, right? So, for everyone listening, everything Ron talks about, we talk about. It's all the details linked in this packet. So, it might at times
065seem like it's very brief, but all the detail is there. And and uh I look at a lot of their districts, they don't all do that, right? A lot of times it's just a PDF copy of just an agenda, right? So, we record everything. Everything is very public. Um so, I just wanted to acknowledge that that Brian and whoever else, Maggie, else helps with that does a really nice job. Uh and the board, we're fully committed to making sure that continues. Yeah. Okay. Um the last part of student achievement was our arrowhead data. Again, it's all in the packet. It's highlighted there. So, um some again just some information for our community to see how our kids transition. I think the part to highlight there would be that this is this first data point from
066the eighth graders who now taken this as the 10th graders so that we're building we're going to have more data points going forward. Correct. For something we have this will be the first time we have access to that data. Okay. Thank you, Ron. All right. So, now we're going to move forward to new business, which we moved the discussion about committee as a whole uh to new business this evening. So, that's our first point uh on tonight's new business agenda. So, I am the one that uh asked for this discussion be brought up again. Um and I'll give you my quick reasoning on it. Right, we're a small board. Um, I looked at our board meetings and how many people in the community watch our board meetings and how many people watch our committee meetings,
067right? Very few watch the committee meetings, right? So, I don't I think a lot of the information might get missed. Okay. Uh, I think as a board I'm just going to take this evening's student achievement committee meeting. All of us were here in some capacity during that during that meeting. Um, I would like to see us meet as a group one hour before the board meeting. We can make it adjust the time as necessary. But all these other committees I think are brief meet a few times a year. We can probably incorporate that all together in one big meeting. Have a very open discussion. Committee meetings lack uh formal Robert's rules, right? We can have a much more open robust discussion. I think more people would watch it. More information would be shared with the
068community that way. So when decisions get made at the board meeting, we look efficient. Ron won't have to necessarily go in as much detail since we all were exposed to that. I just think it's a much more efficient way for us to get the business done. Um, and for all of us to get I mean I don't always watch every committee meeting, right? Um, but also you shouldn't have to watch every committee meeting because we come back and report that information. That's part of what we get re we get recommendations, right? Right. And a lot of times there's a lot more discussion that goes on um around those and we've had I think more than one instance where something came to this board ended up not passing right and out of committee coming to the
069board. Yep. So and I don't necessarily see a problem with that. So I have a neither. Okay. How much? So I would see that we would need at least an extra monthly meeting. So we would have two meetings per month to get through committee as a whole. I think we might have to adjust as we go, but I don't think we can get through it in an hour before the board meeting. And sometimes we need all of that hour just to do student achievement. So I would anticipate that we would likely student achievements a half hour right before the It depends on the meeting. We've gone a full hour. It's between this is probably the shortest we've had all year. I would say 45 minutes. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I in the next year we're very
070heavy. They'll have science. when we're looking at market values and 4K. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, when I was coming onto the board, I also thought committee of the whole was a good idea or that's what I was interested in. When I got to the board, I looked at a couple of different things. One is scheduling. We have a difficult time scheduling as it is. Even getting our one in per month. So, getting two in per month, I think, would be even harder. And we really would need everybody to be available for that. Um, as I once I got onto the board and saw how the committee structure worked, I was really comfortable with I could attend any meeting that I wanted to attend, even if I was not one of the people who could be
071talking. So, I could still go see everything that was happening. Um, and the reports that I was getting from my fellow board members, I understood right that that part I felt moved us along quickly. They had the discussion, they brought back the recommendation. The other thing when I look into boards that do committee on the whole have to be really good at conversation and dialogue and there has to be a lot of that between each other and in the past year we have not had very much of that. So my concern is that we would have less conversation and dialogue if we do committee of the whole whereas in our committees right now we are getting more discussion happening. I think our community it is true our community doesn't watch as much of the committee
072meetings they watch here as we report about that. So if they wanted to, they most certainly can still see that. Uh but I have so my concerns are logistics, trying to get us all together and quality of discussion. I'm concerned that we have not gotten enough practice in good dialogue with one another that it I'm worried about our quality of decision-m. So I think you just made a great argument for committees as a whole so we can get more practice with dialogue with one another. Right. Uh I think it's much more open. But why wouldn't it happen in this meeting then? It certainly can and I think it does. Right. For media committee as a whole is a much more efficient process for the small group that we have here, right? To all get exposed
073to all the same information to be able to make decisions, right, that are best interest of our district, right? That's that's just where I'm at. But anyway, that's why I I brought it forward to the board this even the administrative recommendation. I would my my recommendation is is the committee structure has has worked in the past. Um it's been what we've heard in the past from our community was is if you get a very large group of people together it seems like the dis you know like like I kind of share with Bob Butler seems like the decision gets made there. Um that's why I would recommend if we do go to committee as a whole to do two meetings a month one in the middle of the month a couple weeks because for instance
074if we the finance committee coming up here I'm going to present a lot of budget information and then that's where I gather feedback you make adjustments and things like that too. So, um, my recommendation would be to continue to stay small, get two recommendations. I think in the past, I think in the policy committee, we've highlighted specific language in policies that we wanted to specifically ask the entire board. There's been times when there's been no committee recommendation where we have to go forward to. So, um, I do like the policy that we currently have where there's two members. Any member of the board is welcome to come and attend and participate. Uh, but no decisions are made there. But but again it's your policies not mine. Yeah. Also I'm also thinking about the time of
075our faculty and staff that would come to we need somebody to come and tell us about this. I mean we already have administrators here one night a month. This would be two nights a month that they would need to be here. And we would really have to stay to it. I mean we'd have to take a look at it. Second Monday of the month for instance will be committee as a whole and for for everybody's schedules it would have to be that time because it does pull many other people in so that we can plan ahead. So when we're asking for our resource people and other people to be coming in and talk to us, we're also bringing everybody in the same night for I think you get longer night meetings, but right now we've
076got some that are in the mornings. We spread that out over time. Scheduling is between two people instead of five. I'll give you an example. We when we do uh the um facility committee meeting, we'll have the Jordan. Jordan. Uh, and Jim there. And who else do we usually have with us? Um, me. Yeah. And we've done a lot of those in the morning time. Uh, when people are available, staff members, so we're not bringing them in the evening. I' I'd like to stay away. we're going with the committees. I'm not interested in the committee as a whole and scheduling is one of the issues. I'm really worried about scheduling. I was just thinking through the next year and some other things that when I ran for the board, I knew it was one night
077a month, a consistent two nights a month. Kids aside, one of the kids can drive now. That helps a lot, but I'm having more work responsibilities in the evening and that if I have to cover somebody's class and that's when I observe adjunks and things like that. So, I'm worried about my ability to fulfill my commitment to the board. Fair enough. Any other discussion on this topic? I agree with Rebecca. I have a Monday night. I'm a director of the faith formation at our church in Okanomok and our programs are on Monday nights. So, but unfortunately it ended at Easter this year. Next year, it's going to go from late August until June. And I've already worked the schedule where I'll be able to miss that night in order to be here for the board,
078of course. But missing 50% of the meetings every month that I have an obligation to before this obligation just isn't going to work well for me. And my other concern only with the subcommittee would be the issue with walking quorums. you know, because there's two people on a board here sitting at a quorum already almost in the subcommittee and but I don't think that would be, you know, that's just a matter of trust and integrity. I don't see that becoming a problem um at all. Um I don't think people run for this office who are distrustful. So, uh, I don't think that would sure could really be a problem. But, uh, the time commitment, not only for the board, but for the people that would have to show up is, uh, two months a week
079and a lot of the people I've talked to already have children that are either in school here or in high school and, you know, you're starting to miss family activities. So, those would be my major concerns with the the committee. Yeah, I'm missing my daughter self. I'll get married, right? We all have things. So, all right. Any other discussion? Okay. Very good. All right. All right. Moving forward to what is now new business B. Y approving the 2025 2026 master agreement with the Arrowhead United Teachers Organization. So as discussed before through negotiations and the union did ratify formally ratify uh the agreement. So the last step would be uh for the board to do so. So, the negotiations committee is recommending the board make a motion to approve the 202526 master agreement with the Arrowhead
080Union Teachers Organization as presented. So, moved. Second. We have a motion and a second to approve the 2025 2026 master agreement with the Arrowhead United Teachers Organization. Any discussion this evening? So, Ron, this represents a 4.9% increasing like on average, right? Correct. Teacher pool teacher. Correct. Teacher pool%. Yep. Okay. To teacher salaries from a year ago. Correct. Okay. Very very nice. Un it will be to Dean's point. It'll be unheard of in Southeast Wisconsin too. Getting people onto that schedule. Well, the the schedule, but ultimately the pool of dollars, the schedule is one thing, but ultimately what the board is voting on is the dollar increase to teacher salaries. This won't be touched anywhere around. So, very strong commitment from the board here financially and again, it's greatly appreciated, but we as a board have
081put ourselves in that position to be able to do that. Yep. And reward our teachers for their longevity and that's uh been a goal to to make it uh better situation for retention. Yep. And the amazing thing is we were able to do a 5% increase. But part of the work through the committee was demonstrating our commitment when I say our the district's commitment to teacher salaries already. Again, if you're able to make people whole in one year, we had dollars there that were appropriate and that were were really being allocated properly. So our people were were being treated fairly. now they're being treated more than market competitive along with Dean's point of those longevity and the loyalty opportunities they have too. So, uh it's fantastic and again when we talk about this around I
082kind of like 5% and everybody's like what? So, uh but again, so thank you very much to to the board and the negotiations team and as Nicole highlighted our teacher comp team who looked out for everybody. Okay, any further discussion? All those in favor of approving the 2526 master agreement with Arrowhead United Teachers Organization say yes. Yes. Yes. Oppose say no. Motion carries. Thank you. We'll start to prepare contracts ready to go for May 15th. Thank you. Okay. All right. We're moving forward to approving the administrative salaries for the 202526 school year. The board has met in close session a couple times and uh again the board just is making need to make a motion uh to approve the administrative salaries. Oh, I'm going to make a motion that excludes uh Bob Blessington's given his
083request that we reconsider. So I'm going to make that motion. So I I move that we approve the administrative salaries for 2526 with the exception of Bob Blessington's as we have not yet met to discuss his request. Uh so point of clarification, you're asking to remove um Mr. Blessington's approval, correct? But approve all other administrative salaries this evening. Correct. And then take on his separately. Take on his separately. We have a motion. Do we have a second hearing? I'll second it. Okay. We have a motion and a second to approve tonight's administrative salaries, removing uh Mr. Blessington's from that approval. Any discussion? We would need to meet in close session to discuss this. But since this came to all of us, it constitutes an appeal. So that's the uh the request for reconsidering. We haven't
084talked about it. It doesn't having that discussion doesn't mean whether or not we do anything with it, but we have not discussed as a board. So, I would I'm not comfortable going with we didn't talk about it, so then nothing happens to his request. I had a I did have a conversation with Ron. Um, so I feel like I have the clarity that I need to make a decision and I also did, but since we didn't discuss as a group, that's why I I don't know what other people did. So, that was my that's the reason for my motion. Uh we met twice as a board on on this and I felt it was very robust discussion. Seven hours I think we have seven plus hours in on this. I'm not saying all of this
085didn't happen. I'm saying we got a request from an administrator and therefore that's why I made this motion. Much like our teachers, I'm very proud of the uh ability we had to offer administrators what I thought was a very market competitive uh wage going into the next school year. So I also think I have all the information I need to to move forward. Any other discussion? Okay. So we have a motion and a second to approve administrative salaries for 2526 separating Mr. Blessington to be discussed at a later time. Everyone understand the motion that's on the table? When we say later time, it'll be right after this motion. I'm assuming we can you can make motion if you'd like. We have to do it in session. You can, but somebody can make a motion to
086approve his salary this evening as well. So, just to make sure everyone understands the motion on the table, the motion on the table is to approve all the administrative salaries, removing Mr. Blessington. Sound of like a consent agenda. Yep. And then we could take action on that separately. Yep. You can take action on separately. Okay. So, uh, clear? Everyone clear? Good. All right. All those in favor say yes. Yes. Post say no. No. So 41. 41. 41. No, because I did not I think we should just approve them all. Okay. Together. Okay. Okay. So now we would need a motion. No, we need a motion. Yep. Did it carry? Carried forward. Motion carried. Sorry, a little spacey. Okay. I'm going to make a motion to approve uh Robert Blessington's uh salary as presented. Okay. 2526.
087Yep. As presented as we have a motion and a second to approve uh you're good. That's right. Uh to approve uh Robert Blessington's salary for the 202526 school year. Any discussion? What is your your recommendation? My recommendation was what was in the packet and what was presented to the board uh in close session uh with the data and my recommendation followed that. So just like it did with all the other administrative recommendations. Okay. And uh I would have brought it up if we went to pulled it out and discussed it. So what she did was uh would have a different way if what I would have done it but uh we need to discuss it and uh I think uh it's a a fair increase and uh I'm but uh we know need to know
088what the other board members are saying. Okay. Any other discussion? So the purpose here would be to see are people. So you were already comfortable with with where things I am also comfortable with it. What I want to hear is that the board has considered this so that we aren't guessing what one another think once we since we received this as an email that we understand what we as a board made a decision of. Does that make sense to everybody? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we made Yeah. No, I I I understand, right? Uh we made I think I look at we made a decision as a board.
