010thing that I did is I had pleasure of uh being part of the team that graded a Capstone with Sergeant First Class over there um down in the RC room with the senior that was presenting there um just to be a part of that was was kind of awesome um that he invited me and had some complications before he finally got it done but uh when he finally found out that he um was all done and passed and was going to graduate and he was doing a happy dance so we're exed to be a part of that yeah thank you everyone for all of your hard work and involvement next we have requests to address the Board of Education Miss solo do we have anyone no thank you Mr Hartman superintendence report I think I'll
011grab an actual mic thank it looks like jeffy's got thank you guys there's a plethora of microphones Dan is that a watch okay and thank you I have a number of things but I think you guys touch them pretty well so I'll just kind of touch them just slightly we did eight instructional program reviews um Brett you just described it us yeah there's some it's I don't know if you said complicated or complexity but there's a lot to each of them um when we ask people to sit on a panel I mean there's there's a responsibility that comes along with it there's an understanding of what it is that we're trying to accomplish what does the feedb look like how is it taken how do how does this contribute not hurt all of those things
012we did eight of them and today was eight of eight so I'm thankful I'm doing good this right now a year ago we started with the Charter School this year we finished with the charter school and I was proud to watch those guys change in their own kind of comfortability with that and grow year overy year and how they waed for that process and felt good about the fact that we have a trusting relationship with our Charter School to where they asked to be part of that process that's a that's a nice reflection upon the relationship there um but when back to when I say we do eight we actually are doing eight times two because we'll be together again tomorrow and then it's like 8 times three and four because there's all the work
013that takes place between my own self between the building leaders my own my work with George in finalizing language on that then we go to the compass committee there's a lot to it um and yes it's exciting it's kind of like hearing from the eth grade student today who said I've love being here at my school but I'm excited to move on to the next one I've love being part of the all the iprs and I'm excited that we're about to be done with them so I guess I would say that so about the iprs um Canyon City Schools was present at the Colorado education retention recruitment Fair um I attended a week ago Saturday as did HR Director Davis um there were seven or maybe eight people that we interviewed that day Todd to
014your point about discover Canon um I felt like we were sought out in a way that was different than it was in the past one of the people who Then followed up last week we the Discover cany was on Friday right she showed up on Friday here she got to us early in in her own notes Not only was looking for our school district had written down questions about three of our buildings because she had been doing some homework School District um now there were hundreds of young cre professional and sometimes midcareer but now kind of looking for a change folks there um but in the case of those folks they were looking for us and that just felt really great quite honestly I don't know what we're going to have with positions I've talked
015openly about where we are and the fact that we anticipate have to fill for attrition as best we can we have to keep our eyes open for any as possibly be unable to fill internally um of all those interviews we did that day I don't know I felt like six out of seven probably would have been inh of the contract so that was nice i' like being part of that I love meeting other people people that are excited about the so cool on that discover Canyon kudos to Canyon City schools for thinking about I mean what better way to really showcase what you're doing than saying how about you come to us we feed you we give you a small small $100 bill for your expenses to come on down here and then you get
016to meet with things like the board of education so thank you board I wasn't even in there but it's my understanding the majority of you were to meet with those candidates probably was more bored than it was candidates but think how it feels on they're receiving in so thank you I too got to spend time with them I at month and it was really nice before we went into our construction meeting I just finished meeting with those folks and I would not be surprised again if we have positions that those people don't end up with them I think there's a a real kind of excitement around the school district um other things that I've done and I'll kind of wrap after this one I was asked on February 27th which was about a week and
