006the concert as well.

Next up, we have information from the board and superintendent. So, we'll go ahead. We'll start with you this evening, John. I don't have anything this evening. Okay. I don't really have anything either. Um, we have a little more voice on PIR now. I'm the treasure of the Public Urban Renewal Authority, so that's kind of cool. Um, had our first executive committee meeting today. So, lots of cool
007projects coming and some that'll hopefully be in the district 7day area so we can get some tiff dollars. So, as that progresses, I will update, but for now, there's not a whole lot. Okay. Thank you. I have a couple things. Um, I received a letter from Donna McGini. It says, "I would like to commend Miss Julie Kman and her staging crew for the amazing musical performance of Peter Pan at Cedar Ridge Elementary on March 12th through the 14th featuring fifth grade students. Miss Kman well deserves special commendation for her professional skill in music and drama which are especially suited for creating spectacular performances such as these. Miss Kman brings great enthusiasm and creativity to teaching music at CRA. Her dedication is noteworthy. Miss Kman creates unique music and drama learning opportunities for students that should
008be recognized in a special way. And we rarely receive good news from the public. So, I thought we might share that. I was excited to to get an actual uh nice letter in the mail and so a signed light nice letter in the mail. So I appreciate that. I also uh I also want to uh remember Cash Blanchfield. We lost a student this week. Um please keep the North Mesa Elementary uh family in your thoughts and your prayers and his family. Um the funeral will be on Friday at uh Publo County High School. And that's all I have. Okay. Thank you. All right, I don't have anything this evening. I'm looking forward to graduations coming up and this is a busy time of year. So, um, thank you everyone for everything that you're doing right
009now. We'll go ahead and move on to discussion. Um, our first item is a presentation of the Publo West High School trip to Florida. Mrs. Good evening again. Um so our uh DECA we just had students qualify for DECA nationals. Um they attended DECA states just recently at the Broadmore. We took about 75 students who had to qualify through districts. So they will be attending um nationals DECA nationals on in Orlando on April 26 through April 30th. And we have two students who are going to be making that trip with their sponsor. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Um, next is a presentation of theou between D70 and the Special Olympics of Colorado and Mr. Barter. You focusing that camera up, Mr. Wilson? Well, it's uh good evening board and and guests that are here. Uh
010it's truly an honor to present thisou to our district. Uh the thisou kind of spotlights our students with special needs, our ESS program. What this agreement is is that we're able to um be together with the Special Olympics of Colorado to also be considered a unified champion school program. What that means essentially is we're going to be focusing in on a variety of things to make sure that we have are including our ESS students even more um within our our education setting as well as extracurricular activities for them. So the first focus and we've we started doing this um actually this Thursday will be the first um middle school track meet where we'll also have some unified students participating. They get to participate in a long jump and a softball throw in one of my
011favorites, the 100 meter dash. Um, right now we have about eight students who are planning to attend this Thursday. Um, we hope to just continue to grow and expand. Um, next the following Thursday we'll be at Public County High School. May 1st we'll be back up at Ry and then we'll conclude May 9th out at PBLO West High School. So, uh, with that, that's kind of our plan to kind of dab our toes. so to speak for the rest of this year and then we'll continue to focus next year unified bowling, unified basketball and then maybe make a bigger presence on the track and field. There are some other things out there that are potentials for them um in that athletic realm. The other thing that this will do um is some more whole school
012engagement along with some youth leadership pieces. So, as we start looking and schools are planning for next year on their student council, we would love to have the opportunity to have an ESS student as part of that representation in that leadership program. Okay. Uh, and last but not least, and I'm sure there's more, but there's an inclusive health curriculum that's going to help um our school district along with with our programs with this. And I do want to say thanks to Miss Alfonso and and her uh coordinator Dawn for allowing us to kind of collaborate and move this forward um for the direction of our ESS program as well as uh those those special students. Um, I think the biggest thing and if if some of you are going to attend any of these events,
013you see the impact that that makes not only on those ESS kids that get to participate, but on the crowd and our students and our student population, our administration, you name it. So, the other big event coming up is May 8th. It's Project Respect out at Public County High School. I believe that it's going to start around 8:15 and we'll I'll send out a message just reminding you that. But that's that's another great opportunity to see the inclusion um happen within our schools. So, anything that I missed anything? No, we also have unified we also have unified swimming um and that they had a meet this evening at public county high school. So, we have a lot of good things going with our kids. Any questions? Thank you very much. Thank you. Okay. Um, next
014up is the presentation of the tenative agreement between PCEA and D70. Mrs. Russell. Good evening, Madam President, members of the board. Um, I am returning to you with some more information on our tenative agreement surrounding article 12 employee rights and representation. You know, this article does protect all of our employees and our supervisors. that does guide us on our process and practice related to employee discipline and I think it's important for all parties to have this process in place. So PCA leadership and district 70 leadership met. We reviewed your questions and your revisions that you um had suggested and we did make some additional revisions to uh the article for discussion tonight. So, um just to kind of go through some of the things that you had suggested, we did remove um the notice of
015meeting um where there was a required 24-hour notice and there were several bullet points to that. We um did replace that. We kind of moved up the notification of complaints or allegations and the process for that right into that spot and then did add D to that which does say when reasonably pro pro excuse me when reasonably possible the district and the administration will afford the employee and the association 24hour notice with a brief description of the purpose of the meeting. So kind of combined those and um added that piece in there when reasonably um possible. We also removed 12-4 which was the rescheduling of any meetings. Um and then under 126 we did um reward that a little bit. Um we do want to ensure that um our employees know their rights under PROPA
016which is the um protection for public workers. and we did um site in there the Colorado Revised Statute 11103-17 and section seven of the National Labor Relations Act and what those rights are that and public workers do have. So we we added that citation there. Um under 128 recordkeeping. So all of this is related to personnel files and the Colorado revised statute 8-2-129 and employees rights to know what is in their employee file to request copies of that other than um you know specific confidential references that might be given on behalf of a teacher. So we uh added that under 128 um under recordkeeping and we did site the Colorado Revised Statute there. And let's see. Um, of course we left in on um 129 we added D that employees um do have a right
017if being questioned by law enforcement to request legal representation. um on 1210 under the first amendment uh piece and the the right to freedom academic freedom there. We did add a paragraph there and cited some um kind of took that information from NEA. Um also final responsibility is still with the board which is rooted in our state law Colorado revised statute 22-32-109. Um and we the professional judgment that um does reflect the union and district negotiations allowing teacher discretion within board approved curriculum and frameworks. And then of course the statement about appropriate for age and maturity um and no advocacy or proitizing um was added in that paragraph as well to kind of define that a little more. Questions. So, it is not um up for your vote tonight. So, you have some time to
018review that. If you have further questions, let me know. Okay. Thank you very much. Have us all prepared for questions tonight. You did good. Well, [Laughter] thank you. Gotcha. Okay, we have open forum. Do we have any comments this evening? No, we do not. Do not. All right, we'll move on then. Um, we have an action item and it is approval of the principal for Sky View Middle School. Superintendent Ry, Mr. Bril, do you want to join me?
