001Are we waiting for Brian? Is he on? Looks It looks like he is. I'm here. Okay, good. Okay. Are we live? Okay. One second, then they'll go live. Okay. All right. Thank you. [Music] Okay, we're live now. Okay, we'll go ahead and call the special meeting to order and then we can go ahead and do roll call. Mr. Chavez here. Mrs. Evansson here. Mrs. Heights here. Mr. Jones here. Miss Lima here. Okay. Um, so do I have a motion to approve the agenda for today? Motion to approve. Motion to approve the approved. I'll second. I'll second that. Whichever way we want to go. Bar make a motion. Uh direct and Angela seconded. Okay. Mr. Travis. Yes. Mrs. Evansson. Yes. Mrs. Heights. Yes. Mr. Jones. Yes. Ms. Lima. Yes. All right. So today um we are
002here to um approve the resolution for the boundary changes. Um so I can read the resolution and then we can have a motion and a second in discussion. So the board of education's vision is to engage, equipment, empower each and every student each and every day. The district has experience been experiencing declining enrollment since 2019. And the district has conducted a school efficiency evaluation using its elementary declining enrollment committee to process recommendations produced by the Alvarez and Marsal planning and support report recommending further elementary school closures affecting Clifton, Nisley, and Scenic elementary schools. And the district demographer has worked with administration to develop revised enrollment forecasting the postclosure school boundary recommendations and information on student enrollment building capacities program redeployment plans and recommendations from the demographer were shared with the board of education and shifting
003elementary school students living in the Clifton Nisley and Scenic elementary school attendance areas into adjacent schools is necessary to implement the changes And the schools affected includes Broadway, a portion of Chatfield, Fruitville, Orchard Avenue, Rocky Mountain, Taylor, and Wingay elementaryaries and revised boundaries for the attendance areas and partial attendance areas are contained in the attached exhibits. Therefore, let be it resolved the board of education hereby directs the superintendent to work with the district's demographer to make the necessary boundary adjustments as described in the attached exhibits. and the attached exhibits are the descriptions for the boundary changes. Do I have a motion to approve um the said resolution? Motion to approve the resolution. Second. Okay. Any discussion? So, real quick, just so everybody who's watching understands, we I know we discussed it Tuesday night, but we're
004this is the move forward with um when we were debating between Thunder Mountain and Taylor, there was more compelling evidence for um students to go to Taylor. Um and so that's the one of the amendments in there is to have the boundaries set up for that. So, um but everything else is the same that y'all saw um on Tuesday night. Yeah, I would say from the information that the board was presented with on Tuesday, it seemed like Taylor made um sense and there were still obviously some seats for school of choice if any of the other Clifton families um felt compelled to want to go to Taylor that may be redirected to Rocky or Chatfield. Um there were at least still some spots available. So um I think I think that was a good recommendation.
005board. Any other comments? Okay, seeing none, um Amy, we can go ahead and take the vote. Okay. Mr. Chavez, approved. Mrs. Evansson, yes. Mrs. Heights, yes. Mr. Jones, yes. Miss Lima, yes. Okay, that um is approved with a BO vote. Um board, any other discussion or anything? The only thing that I would like to make sure is that once the this process is is going on that uh teachers are involved in the process uh doing the transitions with with each school and especially kids that have disabilities. Yeah, it's a it's a good point. Um, so Jen and her team, um, they have weekly meetings, uh, and Clint's involved as well because there's obviously moves that'll happen. Um, but they they're meeting weekly with not only the schools that are closing and the administration there, but
006also the receiving schools and working with the special education department and all all the different departments to make sure that we are all on the same page with um, trying to make the transition as smooth as possible and then also just figuring out where programs uh, need to end up and where it makes the most sense. So, I appreciate you saying that and um Jen and her team are on top of that. Thank you. Will will will we be receiving a timeline on on the process by chance? Yeah, we can get um we can get an updated timeline for you on what all is happening in the spring, especially now that this vote's been taken. um we can get you an updated timeline on everything from uh once the maps are updated online um and
007families can look for where they're going to when you know everything from school choice when we think we're going to be able to post positions and then also when we're going to make some final decisions around um where programs are going to end up so we get that to you. Thank you so much, Shannon. Um, our demographer, also just stated that the data for the population moves is coded with the IEP and the primary disability info, just if that helps. And then, director Lima, did you have something? Yeah, I did speak with Jen Marsh this morning and requested that uh the board just get uh a summary each week just saying, you know, what meetings happen just so that we can kind of keep up uh because we're the ones that are going to be
008asked by the community a lot um how things are going and if certain things are happening and that that would be a great way for the board to just um stay apprised of what what they're doing and kind of how they're doing it. Um, and she thought that was a good idea as well. So, I suspect we will get some very brief summaries, but we'll know all along the way kind of how things are going. Sounds good. We kind of did that with the east closure and with the fruit 89 reconfiguration. Um, uh, well, at least staff and Dr. Hill uh, brought back updates in the superintendent um, report to the board about how things are moving along. So um obviously we can make that more frequent if the board is requesting that. Um so
009maybe at whether business meeting or work session, Dr. Hill will let you have the discretion of when you have information to update the board with and that will help bring us along and our community along. Yeah, that sounds good. All right. Um anything else from anybody? Okay. Do you have a motion to adjurnn? Motion to adjurnn. All right. Thank you everybody for your time. Have a good weekend.
