First and foremost, I think it's always important for you to see where your capital dollars got spent whenever we can show you that. Tonight is a great example of those renovations that were specific to
005uh the movement of Netty Hartnet, those students, those programs. So, we're going to head on over to the IC side. Mr. Val is going to lead you. I would like to invite anybody that's willing and able to go with us. So, we're going to make it a very public tour. >> Sound good? >> Sounds good. Good. >> All right. It's a walk and talk. Mr. Varble, they're yours. Dr. We're going to cut the screen for this >> unless you want to go on the road with the film. >> Cannot do that. >> Okay. >> My best estimate is 15 minutes, >> but that is truly an estimate. >> Roger. >> Thank you. >> Yep. >> I'll be here when you get members.

I >> I >> 6 strategic plan update number six. All right. Good evening. I am here to present our annual student enrollment and uh as far as student enrollment and the budget implications, this will actually impact all focus areas, most specifically our staffing and personnel as well as our finance and operations. As you can see, we are down 142 students compared to last year. Our total is 3135. Uh this was updated uh slightly from what I had shared with you a couple I think I shared this a week ago. Um
007but they're cleaning up and scrubbing the data. I do want to bring to your attention this is pre- audit count. So this is headcount not FTE full-time equivalent. So this is headcount. Please keep that in mind. So we are down 142. I think it's important before we proceed, you want to take uh special attention to that 12th grade. You have 294 and then looking at your kindergarten. Each year, our upper class are exiting a large number, but what's coming in is a lower number. Does that make sense? >> And so that's partly what is impacting us as long as well as other schools across the district because Kansas as a whole is seeing a decline in enrollment. This is our enrollment over the last five years. As you can see, we have steadily declined over
008the last five years. And our enrollment once again is down 142. I do want to bring your attention, there are two buildings that did have an increase from the previous year. That's Richard Warren Intermediate as well as the virtual schools. Just a slight increase to both of those buildings. This is your capacity that you set as a board as required by state uh statute JBCC that board policy which requires us to set a capacity. You do that in the spring that is based off of you as a board through our recommendations say how many students should be at each grade at each level. As you can see the ratio student uh teacher for example a kindergarten is 18 and as you increase across over to the right you set it at 25 say for like
009sixth grade seventh grade and so forth. So that's what we want 26 students to one teacher at a fifth sixth grade and so forth. It's important this is what we published. We took all of our enrollment from the previous year and we rolled them up. So we put a kindergartener in first grade, a first grader in second grade. And so this is how we determined our open seats. We took our enrollment that we had last year. We rolled everybody up assuming who would who would be returning and then we determined what open seats we had. So we put this on our district web page from June 1st through June 30th. We actually took anybody that wanted to come from outside of our district potentially could uh submit an application. So we had potentially up to
010227 open seats with our capacity. You said if we go over that number, we need to inform you and keep you up to date, which we have. And if you recall, uh, early in September, we decided we're going to keep an eye on our first grade at Henry, they were actually above that number of uh, 18. And then at Anthony, they were actually above their third grade, which is should only be at 23. They're running right around 25. And so you gave us the authority to go ahead and add a section. Uh the Henry Levvenworth, they wanted to instead of adding a teacher, they wanted to add an an aid because they're a three-section building now. They wanted to add an aid for each classroom. Whereas Anthony wanted to go ahead and add another teacher.
011We were and that's that teacher that I just spoke of that's on the staffing report, which you just approved. Thank thank you. And so now they will the teacher actually started a week ago and so she's going to transition slowly that third grade teacher over at Anthony. We're slowly letting her spend time in each of the classrooms. She's getting her classroom set up and so forth. So that's working very well. But now you can see we're at the set studenttoteer ratio that you have set for our elementaryaries transfer data. We have what we used to call in district out of district. This is still our in district uh transfers. You can only transfer in our district when you have a similar configuration. And we only have three elementaryaries that have a similar configuration. So David
012Brewer, Anthony, and Henry are all first through fourth. So a person can only transfer to one of those buildings. You'll see that our in district transfers are actually up from last year, 43 to 62. That is an application process. We do not approve those until after we go through enrollment. So families do have to wait until after we get the majority of our students. So sometimes they may not hear until right before school. We did decline if it was in a grade that did not have an opening such as first grade at Henry or third grade in certain programs. Uh but it's good to see that we are up in all of our in district transfers. And I will tell you in district transfers are typically for child care, grandparents, where they live or transportation.
013Those are the reasons why we accept an indistrict transfer because it will help the family potentially with child care before and after school. Now we just talked about in district transfers. These what we used to call I still I still refer I'm aging myself out of district transfers or non-residents. That's our JBCC policy. It is good to see that we are up yet again. I do want to draw your attention to if you notice there in the description non-resident uh what it says for student continued enrollment. You as a board in December of 23 approved this brand new policy. It was state statute that we had to put in place. So previously, every single year, a student that wanted to come to Levvenworth had their parents had to fill out the application. Every single year
014in 2023, every single student that was in 2324 was on a nonresident transfer. They were automatically grandfathered in. So that's why you see that drop. That 140 149 back in 2324, they were grandfathered in. So we no longer had to apply. So that's why you see that significant drop. I do think it's a a good thing right here as far as this year our non-resident is actually up again. So we were at 33 in addition to our grandfather and then we are at 63 and our grandfather as far as total um we are at uh 233 that are previous. So, as long as I'm in good standing, if I'm on an out of district transfer non-resident from kindergarten, I can go all through way through 12th and never have to apply again. So, we have
015a total of the 233 plus the 63. This year, we have 296 students that do not reside in our district attending Levvenworth Public Schools. I think that's exciting that our number is up for non-residents. people are still students are wanting to come to our school district. Transfer data, you as a board have always asked for it to be broken down by where are the students coming from. So again, these are non-resident elementary only. We had a total of eight this year. You can see four come from Lancing. We have the one from Pleasant Ridge. Uh and then we have three other. The others are from Casey K. I do have a Casey Mo and I have a Topeka Topeka and that's because their family uh their mother or father work in Levvenworth or at Fort
016Levvenworth and they've asked to bring their child to attend our school. Secondary, we have a total increase again. So, elementary was up for non-resident as was non-resident for secondary. And you can see an increase at the high school. Last year they are at 28. This year they're at 55. Where are those students coming from? You'll see uh I think it's important you can see where the students are from the Richard Warren campus. We have four from Lancing. And then from the high school, secondary high school, you can see uh we have a total of 13 from Lancing, 34 from Fort Levvenworth is a high number. If you think about it, Fort Levvenworth has through ninth grade. So they are considered a non-resident ninth grader if they come to our high school. So 34 of those
017students are freshman from Fort Leworth that are choosing to come to our high school versus staying at the fort. The Pioneer Career Center, our CTE, career and tech ed. Um want to give you some updates on the enrollment. excited to report that those numbers all are also up from last year. The previous year we were at 109. This year we're at 135. I do think it's important to note that some of these are duplicate numbers. So you have fall semester 73, spring semester 62. You could have the student enrolled in the fall, duplicated in the spring. Okay, so those are some duplicated numbers. So you're at 135 enrollment by programs at the Pioneer Career Center. This continues to be a uh interest is the culinary as well as the CNA. CNA actually is the largest
018group that we have of 33 and then we do have the culinary of 18. And then you can see the other programs. The N O is they are not offering at the bottom down there where it said baking. This year they are not offering that. They dropped that. The Pioneer Career Center did. But we have a total of 91 students. So if you remember from this slide, I had 135. Of the 135 that are enrolled fall and spring, it's actually 91 different students. So >> Amy, >> yes. >> Who does the advertising for the career center? Do we get involved in that or Casey? We work jointly with KCK. They'll send information to the high school as well as we put things on the website, but we will work with um them and I know
019the high school works with them. >> Okay, this is kind of give you a snapshot. We've always talked about our community, our school community being very transient, students coming in and leaving. So this year, brand new, we have 526 students that were not enrolled in our school at the end of the year. That means they're brand new to our buildings or our schools. 526. That equals a 4A school district that came in this year. Of that, do you see our returning students? Uh we have 2,731. of that 2,731 that actually equates to I believe it's 80 there's 87% of our students returned. So 87% of our students that were here last year are here this year or return excuse me. Now where did the students who left our district go? You can see we lost.
020So, we just said we gained a a 4A district as far as the number of students. We lost a 4A school district as far as the number of students that have left our district that were enrolled in our district last year and are no longer enrolled in our district this year. So, we lost 389. In district was the largest at 208 followed by out of state and then followed by unknown or other. I'm going to break that down a little bit more so you kind of can find I've been asked to give you instate where did the students go in state. So this is only in the state of Kansas. You can see that we had 77 students go to Lancing. We had 21 go to Easton six to Baser followed by the fort and
021then one at Tongi other is 101. That means we they went to another school in the state of Kansas somewhere. So that's that 208 that coincides with our 208 instate. So I've given you a quick snapshot of our enrollment. How does that impact our district? As you can see at the general fund, Miss Beth calculated this for us. The difference would be about 1.1 million that we're losing because of our enrollment drop. It's a little bit over that. It's 1.113 million that we're losing only and this is specific only to the general fund and supplemental. This doesn't count anything else. So, what questions do you have for me that I might try to answer? >> Question. >> Thank you, Amy. >> Thank you. Oh, Amy, I do have a question. I apologize. I wrote it
022down and because I wrote it down, it slipped my mind. Um, the three-year program at Lawson, it the enrollment cut in half. Was that intentional or >> Well, we didn't get the we uh only had two teachers. We went from three sections of uh prek down to two. Our enrollment has declined um in that and also because we couldn't find a prek teacher. Okay. to be quite honest. >> So, did we have applications that we weren't able to accept because we didn't have >> No, we're we actually still have room. A lot of we have applications and they don't apply or they don't qualify. Okay. >> Um, now we would have really small classes, but we would have not been able to be fully staffed. >> Anything else? Okay, moving on to number seven, superintendent
023report. >> Thank you, Amy. Thanks for the great report. All right, Mr. RDE, we're going to work our way from left to right on the tabs. Yep. So, we'll start here. I have three things for you tonight. The first of which is a first read of the academic calendar for 2627. Yes, that's right. 2027. I'm just going to hit the high points. This has already been through the feedback process both with our staff as well as other internal stakeholders. So if you'll look, convocation is on the morning of the 12th and then you've got a teacher workday and back to school nights on the 13th. Our first day of school is 18 August, 2026. You're going to see a lot of consistency throughout the uh year, if you will, from what we have this year.
024So honoring many of the federal same federal holidays, excuse me, honoring the same time around parent teacher conferences for the most part, honoring a full week at Thanksgiving, two weeks at Christmas. You get the you get the idea, right? So if you'll go to the last month, May, please, Josh, and I'm happy to preview anything if you want to see it specifically. Again, tonight is a first read. Spring break continues to align with the Kansas Board of Regents. That helps our students that are enrolled and other post-secondary efforts. The last day of school is 27 May 2027. >> So graduation is the 21st. >> Graduation I shall be the 22nd. I >> think Friday is the 21st, right? Yep. So 22 May. What questions can I answer? Again emphasizing this is a first read. All
025right, Taylor be to bring this to you for the November regular and then be ready to publish for staff, students, parents, etc. shortly thereafter. Josh, thank you. Let's move our way to the Google sheet and specifically tab number two. All right, connected to Amy's presentation, this is a 20-year historical look at the five counties including Leworth and surrounding. I've honed in and filtered just for Levvenworth County. Let's take it to chart three, please, Josh. Chart three shows the historical enrollment. This is probably where I should pause and clarify. Enrollment and FTE are often used synonymously. Beth will tell you headcount is the physical number of pupils. FTE then is that equivalent. So think in the instance of a prek child, >> you're gonna have a pre-K students that that's weighted at 0.5 FTE. So nine
026times out of 10, a district's FTE will be lower than their headcount. So again, these are the Levorth County only districts. Levvenworth of course is at the top. You will see there our really high water mark was around 08 and this is again just throughout the last two or sorry 20 years. questions on that. Okay. What I don't have is the number of buildings from 2007 and 8. What I do have for you is the Google document that Josh is about to click on that shows you the current buildings still open and the capacity of those buildings. As you just saw with the tour, we moved all the programs from Netty Hardinet over to the IC suite number two. Thank you, Tim. And we are now down to seven attendance centers. You will see the
027elementarymentaries generally speaking have a capacity for approximately six center students. Staff helped me out. I think it was 1819 1920. We reoriented the elementaryaries and they became a one through four campus. Prior to that they housed both the kindergarten as well as the fifth grade. So apples to apples we could really look back the last five years. Each of those buildings generally speaking has been on decline. Leverworth High School at its high water bark was approximately 1500 students. They were a 6A at the time in the Sunflower League. And then of course as you know Richard Warren the 78 side has been in existence for a number of years. IC was constructed about six years ago. Let me pause there. What questions might there be about that data? >> Half capacity. >> Looking at those
028numbers. We're about at half half capacity on everywhere. >> Yes, ma'am. So with the context of the Google sheet combined with what Amy just presented and then this it is my recommendation that we entertain some form of an enrollment study. I believe that it's of the u I'm going to say the utmost importance right now as it relates to a litany of decisions that need to be made that have cascading and longstanding impacts. I want to be clear and upfront the enrollment study will have a cost. I don't know what that cost is yet, but I believe it will be money well spent ahead of some major decisions that this board will be facing. >> Dr. Adams, how long does a enrollment study typically take? >> Sure. I'm going to speak to my rep uh
029my personal history in other districts and I'll let Beth add on. That typically has been about a 90day curation window from start to finish. Beth, >> that's Yes, that was our experience. Yes. Well, I think it has to be done because we have to make some big decisions and you can't make those decisions without >> good data. >> The data >> good. >> I mean, so with that, if it's under 20,000, obviously, I would have the ability to exercise that. If it's over, we would be bringing it to you for formal action. But I do believe it is at least worth the exercise to go through, bring you that proposal if necessary, and move forward as appropriate if you decide to. >> My guess is there aren't very many organizations that do these studies. Are
030we going to go back to when we had uh so I think about 2017 2018 that last study? >> So Beth, I don't know if you had ch chance to look that up. RSP Associates last time. >> Yes. >> What was that last time? Uh the cost was 15,500 for the enrollment study. >> Okay. >> That was in 2019. So it's probably going to be right at 20,000. >> Okay. Um to your point, Mrs. Price, there is not exactly um a number of companies that do this. This is pretty niche work, I would argue. Uh but I'm happy to go to the firms that do exercise this on a regular basis. Why are we doing an enrollment study when we can see the pattern? Like when we did the last one, it said that our
031enrollment was going to decline, that we weren't looking at gaining new students based on birth rates and the geographic of our community not being able to grow because we are landlocked within where we are. So why are we gonna pay to get the same information again? >> Because it's not just straight numbers. Because if we have to start making decisions about where people are going to go, you got to know where they live. >> Where they live, >> what I mean because potentially >> hard decisions are in our future. >> You have some really hard potential decisions in front of you, Mrs. Wells. potentially do too. Uh where an RHID come before us that brought in 330 houses like they've talked um that's going to change everything again. So while we're looking at declining enrollment,
032you bring in that housing, not counting the 130ome vacant homes right now where they to get filled if jobs open back up somewhere. Um then again, we're going to be facing the decisions of what are we going to do if we don't have room now for all these people. So we might be doing a study before we even we might be doubletapping a study to figure something out, not knowing what's coming down the pipeline with the RHID. But if you're looking at each building being half roughly half capacity >> something else >> I mean even with that I don't we're still going to be declining I mean we still have >> we not decline we still have a lot of space >> excess capacity >> then again it depends the age group of every family
033that comes in >> what kind of recommendations did they give us in 2018 when we had it >> I wasn't here. >> I was going to say I wasn't. >> So, I'm going to lean on some of the folks over here. >> That's how we realign the district boundaries for each attendance. >> I think it helped with boundary alignment. >> Yes. >> I think it was informative of what to do with your 56 center which ultimately fed into the bond issue conversations. If I'm not mistaken again, fill in because I wasn't here. >> We also, if you recall, for those of you that are part of this community a long time, we've slowly been closing elementaryaries. Um, we had six elementaryaries. uh then we went to five then we now are at four and so
034forth. Um so that's one of the things we also had two middle schools and went to one. I mean so over time through the study we determined that it was more efficient to run with smaller buildings. Well, and then I remember after the study too along with the bond issue where we were discussing all this, this is why we did the fifth, sixth grade to alleviate >> any overcrowding in those schools between prek, kindergarten, and everything else. That way, we didn't have to redistrict everyone and move them out of other neighborhoods. >> We definitely have room. Yep. >> Thank you. [Music] That's it. >> Thank you. >> Any other comments, questions? >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. Um, moving on to closing of the meeting. Um, upcoming dates. Um, I'm just
035going to go down through uh the 11th of November. Um, and a couple I added on here. Um, October 20th is the college and career night at the high school beginning at 6:00 p.m. I believe 6 p.m. Um, that is always a good thing to attend if you've got if you've got kids um in the high school. Um, the 21st of October is the end of the first quarter, so we are a quarter of the way there. Uh 22nd is a work day for uh teachers with conferences, parent teacher conferences starting at 5:00 pm going to 8:00 pm. Uh October 23rd, parent teacher conferences, no school for students. Um conferences go from 8 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. October 24th, no school. November 10th is a professional development day, no school for students. and also
036the um board of education meetings at 6:00 p.m. And then November 11th is Veterans Day, no school, so we'll all be downtown and join the parade. Um anything to add or is it going to go all the way through December? >> Okay. All right. Um, so now moving on to unscheduled patron input and we have Miss Meen Shirts. >> Good evening. >> My name is Men Shirts. >> You got three three minutes. >> Okay, I got it. And I'm here tonight as a parent deeply concerned about the district's continued failure to protect our children, not only their physical safety, but their emotional and educational well-being. I started looking into the policies of this school district when my son began to experience severe bullying that went unchecked despite being reported. When I found what I found
037and experienced in this process has been shocking and extremely disheartening. I want to thank Al Alyssa for being the only person up there that replied to my email when I first sent it out about what was happening. Since the beginning of this school year, it's become increasingly clear that our district's lack of effect effective policies and structure is creating more harm than help. Parents are forced to fight through confusing systems, inconsistent procedures, and a culture that too often just dismisses their concerns rather than addressing them at all. People are swept aside and under the rug because it's assumed they will just give up. This isn't how a school district should operate if its mission is to support its children. Even more alarming, mental health professionals in this community are now advising parents and families to
038remove their children from this school district and take them other places. It is becoming too unhealthy for students to continue their education here. That is heartbreaking as a parent and as a mother who is struggling with these systems. It is a sign of a deep institutional failure. It's not surface level anymore. The enrollment that you've been hearing about tonight is clearly connected to these concerns that I have. If I personally know of five separate students that left in the last year, my my circle is small here. I do not know many people. And if I know five families that have left because of problems with policy, there is a bigger issue. We cannot afford to lose the students that you already have. We need to work on maintaining the families that we have here, supporting
039them and creating a space that's safe for our children. I don't want to have to spend every day waiting to hear from my son when he gets home from school to find out if he's been okay. I don't want to have to continue to get phone calls every week about somebody else doing something to my son that I have no control over. I have to trust our administrators to be able to take care of my child and I don't. And that's because there is not clear policy on how to handle these things. It's different from from school to school within the district. It is is not consistent and is not clear. I'm >> sure it's you you have time. You're at time. >> Okay. do better, be better. >> Okay. Um, moving on to board
040member comments. I'll start down with Mr. Carney. >> I'm going to go last. >> Okay. Wilson, any comments? Thank you for the families that came out and just um thank you for the tour for the building. It looks nice. I'm glad the children have a good place to be over there and have a great weekend. >> Thanks, Morphe. >> Um I want to went through the um gift log. I wanted to thank everyone for their generous donations, including Chartwells for supporting the uh chamber connection meetings with the school district along with uh feeding members that attend our board meetings. That is very kind of generous of you. Um the building update tour that we just had, I want to say was very impressed. It's nice. It's clean. It's polished. And I'm sure the kids are
041very excited about being in this kind of environment with the more openness, brightness, and um more feeling of community rather than um being kind of off away from everyone else. So, good job on that. Also, um we had a um longtime Pioneer family member that passed away. Um, I've known him for years because of where I work and I would see him shop and everything, but we lost Mr. Van Horn who had been at least what I have known of a principal at West who was a board member for many years to include eight years as president of this board. And I just wanted to extend my condolences to um his family for his loss. It's still losing a member of our family and I I feel with you. He had a good long life.
042Um, but it's still sad to know he's gone. And that's all I have. >> Miss, >> I would just like to encourage families um to participate in parent teacher conferences um as you are able to. And if for some reason you're not able to go at one of the scheduled times, please reach out and just have that phone call or email with your teachers and make a plan on how to help our students succeed. Mr. Carney Carney, >> you're still waiting to go last. >> All right. Um, I do want to reiterate the whole thing about parent teacher conferences. It means a lot to teachers to see the families, parents. So, if you haven't got a plan to go, please make a plan to go meet your meet your students teachers. It means a lot.
043Um, and then I'll put one out for just general citizenship. So, early voting starts the 15th of October at the count courthouse. goes through the 3rd of November and election day is on the 4th of November. This is a local election and this one means a lot. I know a lot of people will stay home because they're like, "H, no big deal." But local elections mean a lot. Go vote, please. And it's always a good day to be a pioneer. >> Mr. Carney. >> Well, first on a lighter note, I've been to every football game this year and home and away. And uh I I think if you look back on the history of Leworth High football, we haven't had much of a team, but we we got a team now that's top-notch. And uh
044I think they're they're going to probably end up I think playing for the state championship. Last Friday they beat Dodto. The first time in the history of Lemort that they beat Dodto. So that was really remarkable. But those kids have been together since 8th grade. I've been following them because my grandson's in that class, eighth senior class this year. And they just stuck with it. It shows what happens if you stuck stick with the program. And of course, of course, Coach S had a big big impact on that. On a heavier note, as you probably all know, I think my son put it on Facebook. I was in the hospital for a while. About died. That's okay. We're all going to die. But I get home and the first thing I read in the paper
045is Mr. Proctor, our illustrious non Well, he's not he's not my he's not in my district, but anyway. So, it surprises me that, you know, everybody talked about how long they've been living in this community. I've lived here more than anybody on the board and I've been on the board more than anybody and we've never had a person like him in the legislature. >> Is this school board related? >> School board related >> I or I mean this isn't a place for politicking if that's where we're going. >> Did you have something a comment about the district? Well, okay. Then I'll ask a question to one of our board or is there a vast majority of our seniors out of the class of 25 cannot read and write at the grade level? Anybody from district
046tell me that? I'm >> sure they can. >> Okay. I rest my case. >> Okay. So, I won't say anything else. I'll put it in a good paper. >> And one thing about going last is you about covered everything. Um, but I do want to reiterate again parent teacher conferences and how important those are and those relationships are so important and um and we are a partnership and you know I'm sorry um our customer service um could be tweaked a little I think and we'll we'll be looking into that. Um but uh definitely those partnerships are important and we all have a job to do and we all have a part to play and everybody's important and everyone has a part to play in making this district a better district. Um that said it is
047a great day to be a pioneer and motion to adjourn the meeting. Move we adjourn. The meeting is adjourned.
