001[Music] All right. Call for order and approval of agenda. You have the 44 in addition to the consent and you'd have the 52 addition to personnel. Great. Okay. Anybody? Anything else? Motion to approve as amended. Second. All in favor? Uh board of education presentation. Uh consent agenda. questions. Um, any questions on the make sure you guys were okay and understood the online solicitation Amazon. Um, we're trying to just kind of minimize those, get those board approved so everybody knows how many we're going to have a year. we don't have 9,000 of them run in a year. Uh give teachers um just kind of an idea of when to run them, what we're asking for in those solicitations because it is really already a policy. I just don't think we would I don't think everybody understood
002that that was a policy we already had about getting fundraisers approved through the board. So that's Yeah. Is there um is there something that says like things that they can ask like what they get from the school like that the school pays for like any specifics on I mean know they can ask anything you know so they get money every year they get money every year um for supplies that they can spend. And so they got what did they get? 30 300 this year. I think that's what it was. I think we I think it was 300 this year. 300 that what it gave this year. 300. Yeah. It's in passive. So they get $300 every year. Yeah. For at their discretion to whatever they need for their classrooms. And these are just supply things,
003not curriculum. That's a separate thing, but they get that for themselves. And then um I I think a lot of times people just ask for donations and stuff. So, we're trying to get them to if there are things that we want to do that are going to cost money, like a theme day or whatnot, then we will work through us on those processes and then we keep them and we can recycle them and things like that and then we have a process and stuff in the building that we can use and reuse and and we're not doing this, you know, each year buying different things and one room gets this and one room doesn't or one grade gets this and one doesn't. So, it's just going to help with um kids opportunities being more equitable
004in the building and also then we kind of have a handle on all the asks we're doing for our community and our parents and there's a lot of asks going on that I don't think we were all aware of that were going on. So, to help kind of allow us to do that, but we have a some understanding knowledge of what's going on. So, on that make a motion to approve the consent. Um 5.0 employees we need if you guys do. Yes. Okay. So 10 minutes. Yeah. That's good. 10 minutes paper. Mr. Mr. President, I move we go into executive session to discuss personnel pursuant to non-elected personnel exception when the open meeting will resume the boardroom at 6 15 with B. Okay, got a motion. All in favor? Yeah. Motion to approve the personnel
005report as presented. I'll second it. Motion a second. All administrators questions for administrators. Not much going on in the summer. Well, I don't believe it's slow. I'm just You guys football early football practice is amazing. The kids love it. Oh, I didn't forget about you to drive, Cole. Probably to meet with me once a week. So, they get to hang out with me for four hours a day or four hours a week. And they love those meetings. Chris especially. convincing. Anything to share? How's how's summer weights and conditioning going? Good. A lot of kids showing up. Yeah, we got pretty solid group kids coming in on a regular basis. So, we got plenty of things going. Chris has put out the the list of events for the summer and it's like we got wrestling going
006on tonight. Basketball league finished up the end of June with the boys at our place. volleyball camp and high school football camp this week. High football camp next week. High wrestling next week. I got Mike all moved in. Got his office over there hanging things on the wall. Painted. He's got more on his wall than than Kyle has. Taking Kyle. I think he's got a few pictures of his kids on the wall. slowly have kinder camp at the end of the month are coming in. Uh when will we find out teachers at Carbonale? We have those. Uh we haven't decided when we're going to send it out yet, but when are you sending yours out lately? Um so if they have paid all their fees, first grade and second grade and incoming graders already received
007those. kindergarteners went out today if they completed their ASP. I love I love the incentive. That's how you can you want to know your teacher. You got to fill up the And if you didn't, they sent an email. We sent an email today that says here's the link to complete your We just did all of that this morning. So the pressure's on Carbonale. All right, we'll get we'll get to it tomorrow. Yeah, in the next week or so. Yeah, good answer. Same as scheduled. Same as Yeah. Oh, cool. Way to go. Good stuff. Update. Um, we've got we're waiting for dirt work for the parking lot. We've got some new lights in the parking lot already. Windows are being installed as we speak. Carpet. Everybody's carpet done. Mine finished today. Okay. In the end of
008the week, our should be done. Okay. Robbie, anything going? Is there concrete pad in? Yes, that's done. Okay. Tanks are out there. New system should be put in by the Your concrete should be going in Monday. It's your your place. Okay. on asphalt sealant. Oh, asphalt sealant should be coming in next week, too. We did have a little uh lightning storm. We are finding all sorts of fun things that need fixed. We're hoping a lot of it though is just some things we can fix in panels and some fuses and things right now. Um got two big those to those large fans that aren't working right now. So, we've had an electrician come in and assessing everything as well as our adjuster. So, uh, we'll put it to insurance if it's, um, you know, way
009above our deductible. And, um, good thing is it's staying with the MC and not going to roll into our our new property insurance, so that might work out. Okay. But, um, we'll get that all assessed and I'll let you know the total outcome of of the damage from the from the lightning. We're also going to do some proactive preventative things. I don't know why this hasn't been done before to find some better ways to ground these storms cuz it's I think this is like the fourth time I've now been told that we've had lightning over there. Was it the same day to the day last year? Yes, it was. That's what Graeme said when he was looking up the bad luck on that day. Maybe I'll plug everything. Yeah, just everything shut off. Yeah. So,
010I'll keep you posted on those. some fixes that we're going to have to have. Otherwise, moving along. Capital LA got uh some new railings on our bleachers at Carbondale. [Music] Floors are all being Are your floors all done? I know. It smelled really bad over the high school. Gym floor. Gym floor. Gym floors. Okay, good. We'll be back on ours tomorrow. Not quite. No, we have issues with ours. um our laminate or the ceiling pulled up. So, they're going to have to come in, I think, later and sand it down and then put a thing on perhaps. I'm not sure when. And they talked about maybe even just overposes. Okay. Yes. Are we putting lights in the whole parking lot at the home? No, we're just fixing some of the ones that weren't working and
011and then move moving a couple. Okay. Yeah, which can help which should help. It's pretty bright out there right now. Go out in that front parking lot. It looks really good now. So I can see when I turn it at night. I hope so. If not, we're going to have to fix that pole light down there. The road. Yeah. Yeah. The lights and I have had this conversation many times. I finally figured out the light bulbs out, Chris. So should have told you maybe. It's not that pull though on the east side. Yeah. Yeah, you can only do one set of lights. Yeah, the southeast side of the football field. No, we didn't get an update on those. I thought they were done. They're not in yet. Crazy. Will they be here before season? entirely
012on hand QR code for the feedback if we can get that. All right, we're good. Uh policy clarification. Want to go through all of it? Yes. Um so the first one is the question in there. Uh Kylie had asked a little bit about this visitors to the school and um when Visitors to the school uh are required or those that are not law enforcement not required to provide their identification, names, emails, and all those things. So, what we learned was they have to give us their name. They don't have to give us all that other stuff, and we don't have to identify them as police officers. This is due to a case in Witchah. uh what's that minor league baseball team called there? Surge. Surge. At that facility, they made everybody um that was carrying
013uh wear some sort of a a bracelet and it was really all law enforcement or offduty law enforcement. And so now all these law enforcement were walking around marked with these. And so a big case came out of it about these officers for their protection and their safety that they don't have to be um you know wearing some identification that says you know I'm carrying in your facility. So I think this is a law enforcement protection policy and it's made its way obviously to schools as well. I guess I worry about the other side of that. Yes, I know that's the one I told you about. So there's not a whole lot we can do about it. All they have to do is tell us their name and um so this is we have to
014I mean I'm hoping we're not going to have any issues with that right I know you don't until you do but just that's ridiculous and most law enforcement officers I wouldn't think of have any issue identifying themselves and and I think most of ours probably will I do um it's really I think the bigger worry is people who aren't. No, that's that's exactly what I mean. But I don't feel like they're going to say anything to us anyway that they're even carrying. I think they're just going to conceal and they're probably not going to let us know they're caring. But I don't know. Um that was kind of the conversation we had. Uh Kyle, did you gather anything else from that conversation we had at the law conference? No, that was pretty much the gist
015of it. You just figure out how to deal with it. I don't feel like I got a lot of clarification other than their name. they can carry and we don't mark them as carrying. Right. And I'm fine with everything. Yeah. But the other side of that is anybody that's carrying identifying as there are detection things out there for those things. Okay. The others, sorry, I'll move on. The others are all three technology acceptable use, computer use, device use, uh, policies that, uh, Mr. Lommy and I talked about kind of revamping a little bit. We went back to some original ones that we had because they had been edited over time and going back to the original policy. So IIBF and IIBG, we went back to the original KASB approved policies and then what Andy did
016was then the district acceptable use policy reference all of those in one place in the acceptable use policy. So it wasn't so redundant. We had all these different technology policies out there and so he just tried to reference all of them in the acceptable use policy but then go back to the real legal lease language. that's in the IIBF and the IIBG. Instead of editing those, I got nervous. If we edit those, then that's what our attorneys give us. They use the legal language. They use the maze and the shells and the and the things that need to be in there that are appropriate for um you know, they use case law to to make these and write these policies. So, I want to make sure that those are intact within our acceptable use policy.
017Andy can reference all of those here. Do you want to say anything else about that? I mean, pretty much exactly what you said. The acceptable use policy is heavy IIBG and IIBF like copied and pasted from it and then a handful of additional um district policies that that helps our administrators um in their building like um cyber bullying and student and staff BYOD and just some local things that that we wanted and and that that has been in it for a long time. So, um, but yeah, they are they cross reference both ways to make sure they're matched up and so they're they're in sync with each other. Just clean it up a little bit. Nine total policies are referenced in the one district policy. So, acceptable use policy. So, we just need approval of
018those to uh two of them kind of go back the way they were and then just to make the other one a more generalized reference. I'm glad you added that cyber bowling in there. I do need one for all four. Yes. Yes. We could just get some action to approve. We did not approve KM last KM I BF I BG and district acceptable use policy. Is that a motion? I'll second. All in favor? Thank you. Okay, that brings us to budget closure and revenue with um all I need to do is uh inform you that we will send off all of our RNR information to O County, that is our home county to um uh place our revenue neutral information. Um we don't have to do that to all of our counties. We do get
019RNR information from each county that we reside in, but Oage is our home county, so that's where that will go. All this is is requesting um just approval um that if we need to um exceed RNR, if we can, that doesn't mean we're doing that yet. We haven't even built the budget yet. We've just closed it out. Uh so this just gives us that permission and that authority to do that if we have to do that. Once we build the budget, we will then bring the budget to you in September uh for approval. In August, you will get all the needs assessments to review and and look through and then we'll have our budget hearing in September and have a budget ready for you then. So, I'll update you as we start building the budget.
020Close out went good. Uh Green Bush came in and overlooked um all those numbers and made sure our transfers that were the way they were and our percentages went where they were and we rolled over some some cash to start the year with and we feel pretty good. So our transfers were good and feel pretty good about the school year and we had some money left over so to roll in the next year. So put we put a lot in sped transferred a lot to spend. Yeah. So So this does not mean we're going over revenue neutral. This means that in August we'll have a Yes. This means we are sending a document that is required to go to the county. Correct. Yeah. Go ahead, Justin. Say that. Well, that's I just say that again.
021Making sure that folks know we're not saying we're exceeding it. This is just a request to be able to exceed it and then in August we will see the budget and make that determination at that point. Yes. Correct. Not exceeding it saying just have the option. Correct. Yeah. Nope. Um, you don't have to take action. You don't have to take action. Nope. Okay. Um, handbooks. Questions on handbooks? Anybody? Just as we look at these, I I would like to see like right now, I know we're talking reconfiguration so I don't confuse anything, but as we look at that, can we say like SFT Elementary School and SFT preschools? Like in I noticed in the handbooks some of them already we already say SFJH. Maybe that middle school is more appropriate. I don't want to go
022buy signs. Um, but like I said, CAC students at the top like on the header just put like SFTJH or middle school, but like we have SFT preschool here and and the only Overbrook might be and I like the little uh the graphic that we have for Overbrook. I don't think we need to take over Brook off that. I think we just say SF Elementary and then OAC or Overbrook. Is that fair or does that seem I like it. Santa Fe Trail Elementary. Santa Fe Trail Junior High I Santa Fe Trail High Junior High or Middle School Middle Junior High is a seventh and eighth. Me too. Carbonale tennis is the whole building. So possibly change. Well, I don't want to go by size and do anything, but I just policies in in place for
023the junior high than there are for the middle school. No, it's all the same handbook, right? I do want to ask handbook all the same for the whole Yeah. If we're doing some official changes though to building names and things like that, attendance centers, I do think we have to um go through a process to change all that because we we put all that to the state. Correct. Well, their names school and over center centers and jail high school is all the name is assigned to the building member. Right. But we have signage at carbell instead of Santa Fe Junior High right on the jail. Yeah. So I'm not saying Yeah. Yeah, I mean leave leave OAC or SACE or whatever we need, but at least associate it cuz as we talk reconfiguration, I think
024that's and I think if we do reconigure and change buildings, I think we can probably do some official name changing too with the department of because we'll get new building numbers probably too if we do things like that. They just put grades like grades K through three. Overlook center grades K through three. Carmale attendance center grades four through eight. I think what he's wanting is the Santa. I like the Santa. It's the community. It's not the Cardinal building that has this and the over. It's this is the whole community's elementary school. It's the whole community middle school prek through three or whatever. Yeah. And again, it'd be silly, I think, right now to go make a bunch of changes because we don't know what's going to happen in the next year, right? As far as
025what that looks like. Just for clarity, do you want everywhere it says OAC in my handbook to say now say San Val Elementary now or moving forward? Yeah. So, I'm confused. You want to change the this year. The cover page if we on that cover page I'm pulling it up if we could like where it says it's a new little graphic. Yeah, center. Yeah, like if we just somewhere in there was also like elementary like I like the graphic. I think it's awesome. So even if it just went above the OAC part above Overbrook or something there. Where did you Yeah, I I thought it was cool. I liked it. So I don't want to change all of it. I like the Overbrook big. I like I just Okay. If the more I think as
026we start recognizing our buildings as elementary, junior high or elementary, middle, high school, it's been high school, so it hasn't been an issue, but I just feel like it's more community and less town building. green car. Yeah, they could change name. So the header for the CAC one I mean they the the front page already has and I guess the front page says Carbon Tennis Center student and family handbook and then it says Santa Fe Junior High Carbell. So I mean at least to me it's it's there. Maybe once we get done with reconfiguration, that's a time to draw a line. But I just I like that that has the Santa Fe Trail. Like if we scroll down there, Amy, it has the Yeah, right underneath. Nope. Up a little bit. Up a little bit.
027Right there. Right there. Right underneath the bold SF SFT Junior High Center that has the address. So to me, that just we associate more with the community building versus a town center. Maybe not. I don't know. I like it. It doesn't hurt anything to put it on. At least on the front. It puts Santa trail on all of them. Yeah. I don't know that they need to go through everything that No, I wouldn't the front page. A good place to start. Yeah. I like it. I'm glad I already did it. I don't have to go change it. Oh, when I answer the phone, that's why I said preschool. I don't see screen. Anybody see anything else? No, nothing. I appreciate the colors and highlighting the changes for us. It makes it easier to go through
028so we're not trying to go through. And Justin AI formatted it for us. You don't give it a secret. Um, can we approve all the handbooks at one time or break this? Does she have a question? I have one question and I apologize because I didn't dig real deep. Did we add the new um band thing in the junior high and the new band fee? Good question. Oh, and the handbooks because I know when I know in the board book it wasn't in here on the on fees. No, I didn't put it there because we already approved it. Um, so okay, what we can do is why don't we instead of why don't we get that whole fees list, add band to it and then add that sheet into your handbooks. You want to do
029that? I'll give you why don't I'll just give you after we do that fees sheet. You can just take that whole sheet and we'll stick it in there and you'll have them all in there. Has lunch, technology, um, band, athletics. just stick it in your handbooks and I'll add band to it. Now, she had a kind of a form too that went with it that we need to put in your handbook for just the band part. I think it's a there's like a contract. Do you want that in the handbook, too? Just as like a sample. Here's the contract. They can see it in there. They just do. We have one for like the computers. Well, we have the acceptable use, but they do that in enrollment online. They'll check a box to agree to
030that. Is that Well, I'm saying like in the handbook like we don't have a form about the in there. So, we need one. No. And maybe I mean the form separate. Okay. Yeah. Cuz like for equipment for sports and stuff. Okay. Then we'll just put the list of these in there. Okay. Yep. I can do that. We'll put it in all of them. Yes. Thank you. I make motion to approve the handbooks as presented. Hands motion for hands. I'll second with the with the Yeah. With the addition of the fees page with the ban. Yes. Yeah. Well, they said they already made changes. She paid it already correct. Okay. All right. so with that and you second I will second that. All in favor? So that brings us to crisis plan. Yep. The change we
031made um was adding the cardiac emergency response plan to the that which we'll need to then get trained this. So Kim will come in and train everybody at the beginning of the school year. uh with the AEDs and the response teams. We do need to change some names in there from the CP that Kim originally had you guys approve earlier in the school year. So, I will add uh Mike's name and uh take off a few teachers that were on the team and change those with whoever they want to add there. So, I'll work with Kim and the principles on if they're replacing those teachers with someone new. So, like for example, Tyler Gonzalez was on the high school list, took him off. They want to replace that, put a new person, I'll just put
032a new teacher in there, whoever they want. Okay. So, that's really about the biggest change in the in the crisis plan. Faith, I was going through this the other day to try to make it my for my crisis plan. And just on page three, I'm going to edit it to the PDF one a red crisis. It just needs to be Oh, okay. Okay. Page three. Uh on mine on my online communication communication ca. Okay. Got it. Got that note. And then my question is spelled wrong. correct spell for our Okay. Do you want to add change the people and then have us approve it or you want to approve it with those changes to I think we can approve it and add people's names because those names will really go on the flip charts. The
033flip charts are the main ones that matter. Those are the ones that go in all the crisis bags for all the teachers in their rooms. This is really just the big district one. Um, these are not the ones that I'm going to give to the teachers and hand out and have them go through the 30-page crisis plan. They're going to have the flip charts, the the quick references to all these things. Fire, intrusion, tornado. I think we can approve it. I'll just add a name to it and then we'll publish it. Yeah. Motion to approve the crisis plan um with the name scripted in it. Okay. Do we have a motion? Second. Have a second. All in favor? You have any questions? Not a lot of changes. Kept lunch the same. Um added I added
034down at the bottom the device repair fees. Um and if you have any questions on that, Andy's here as well. We can kind of talk through some of that. But and there is a change on the device repair that I just want to make sure you guys see. Um the cases and the chargers are some of more the common issues that we have and we they don't cost as much as we've been charging them. So, I brought the price down to the right price for the for the kids. So, cool. And full replacement fees. Um, we've had parents ask us where we come up with that number before, but Andy makes it comparable to the market price of those devices. So, it's not like we're just making up a number. It's only it's only a
035$200 device and we're charging three. We're not making money off of it. Um, I know we've had we had some questions about that before and so we've been able to prove this is how much we pay for device and um that's probably actually smidge cheaper with tax and delivery and everything but um it's a fair price. So So we're really keeping all the fees the same. Yep. Except for just that the band's been approved. So, what I'll do is I'll just um take out those recommended changes. I'll take that column out, put all the fees listed in there. I'll add one little line there for band and put the band fees in there on that sliding scale that she gave us. So, I'll just add that to that sheet and they can add that to
036their handbooks. That work you guys stick that in there. Yeah. And I'll add band to the bottom for the band one, but you you won't need. No, but you can put the band one. I can leave a bandwidth off yours, but give me that. And I don't need your represent. Yeah, I could probably make it more tag. Half of my people go to Cartell and have high school. Okay. Okay, that's fine. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Question with the addition of ban to approve fees as recommended. Okay. Second there. All in favor? Now we are ready. All right. So, we're start. This is um just for we just started fast bridge with preschool this school year. So we only have data for this school year that shows you the growth that they made and really well
037questions about preschool. This is all yes. Not for three year olds. And our team did really good. They were very nervous about doing this with with our littles. Um but they did way better than I think they thought they would. And I think kindergarten teachers will really appreciate this data. They have jumped already. Yeah. All right. And then here, so now what we'll see is data from the first year I got here till um this spring. So 2022 up through this spring. And you're going to see considerable growth in kindergarten, first and second, which is what we're looking for because that's where we've made a lot of big changes. We've got the new curriculum. We've done a lot with TASin. We've done a lot with MTSS. So, we're getting our kids a very strong base,
038very good foundation in reading. And the math is also growing um with the new Bridges curriculum and the NTSS and math as well. So, we're very pleased with how that is looking and we're almost to those perfect triangles that we want up to 80% about 15% 5%. So, we're so kindergarten. Here's first grade. Looks a lot better. Less red. So, reading looks good. Math is looking good, too. Looks great. Again, this strong foundation. We're going to see it's going to continue to build and grow as our kids get into the upper grade levels. What we want. So now what we've discovered in and our second, third, and grades up. They take what is called a CVM, which is a fluency test, and it's a one minute time reading. And we have noticed across the district
039that our fluency is pretty low. And so, we have started to implement some strategies across the district to help to improve that fluency. With that lower score in fluency, it's dropping our composite, our benchmark score overall in reading. So, we're really hoping to address that fluency issue and see these scores improve as we go along with that. But some things that we've done is they have a getting the gist that they're doing in the classroom. So, they have to read out loud with a partner and then they have to summarize what they read. They have just fluency partners where we're pairing them up based on their CVM scores with a partner that reads similarly similar to them and then they're reading and doing some complency work with that like if their partner makes a mistake
040they say stop and they point it out and then they correct the word together. Um we're also doing classwide interventions. We're going to continue that this year for a classes whose Fastbridge benchmark median score is below the benchmark that we want to see. So before they move into intervention groups, they have to have um as a class above the average of the benchmark score. So that's been really helpful too. So lots of interventions, still working with TASM this year. Still focused on reading this year. Um then hopefully next year they move into the math and then fourth grade they had a great year fourth grade and then you can this is easier to see where that again going back to the CBM fluency test because you start out let's say the beginning of the year
041the benchmark is 115 words per minute by the end of the year it's like 145 per minute, which is a big big jump. And so we kind of see that as scores bounce around a little bit, but still seeing growth. So Carrie on this data um when we're looking at data over time, we're looking at different kids and different grades over correct over time. So is there a way for us to see the longitudinal data in fresh bridge like we do with it? We'd have to make it. Okay. And I do that because then we could follow the kids and see well the how those group of cohort over time as well as we also want to see our grades too but that'd be just another tidbit we could kind of look at too. I
042love how it is with the state assessments. That's awesome. Let's see that data. Wonder if watch Jennifer did that last one. Maybe Amy already has that template. Anyway, just that's great. We definitely saw a very good trend of our tier three consistently usually going down, growing, moving some of those tier three kids into tier two, moving some tier 2 kids into tier one. nth grade. And then ninth grade is the last year that they are required by the state to take fastbridge unless they have not met that benchmark which we have 40% or above. So if they take fastbridge in ninth grade for reading and they meet the 48th percentile or above they don't have to take the test anymore which is a huge motivator for those students. They really really appreciate that. This is
043also how we are going to begin implementing our intervention groups at the high school. It's the beginning of the year fastbridge score, seeing where they are and then placing students at the high school in groups based on is it comprehension, is it based on fluency, is it based on phonics issue. Um what we're seeing right now in the spring data is a lot of fluency and a lot of comprehension. So we'll be working on those groups a lot. Students who have made benchmark but don't need intervention will go to um groups that are working on grade level or above grade level or working on enrichment things, working on some social emotional skills, working on some um just all kind like how to organize your planner, how to you know write an email, those kind of
044soft skills. So we'll be working on that with those students. But we're very excited because there aren't a lot of high schools right now that have a true MTSS program. So, we already have people who are excited to come and watch us do this and see what it's like and come and tour and learn all about it. So, we're excited to share that with the state as well. All right. And then we're going to look at just Overbrook Attendance Center as a whole. Um the first one is just grades two and three in grade in reading and then in math and below that is your math. Oh no is early reading sorry and early math. Lots and lots of growth there. And then overall for overbrook attendance center sorry car I just did overbrook. So
045here is the reading and math as a whole building high school which is pretty much just nth grade and then our students who don't make the benchmark are included in this group as well. So we have 10th, 11th, 12th graders who are taking this that reading is hard for them. Sometimes math is hard for them. And then districtwide overall, this is grades 2 through 12, which again, it kind of skews the data for that 10th, 11th, 12th graders that are in there because that really ups our tier 2, tier three bubbles there. But I still think it's important to see. And then below that is math. Oh, sorry. Thank you. Yeah. And then if we go scroll, I think over to math now. Yes. Yeah. Math's rocking math, which is interesting. It used to be
046you kind of flip and then early positive things coming out right now. Um, as far as I know, we're still waiting on state assessments to get approved. I think they have found the norms. They're going to try and get that approved at the state board of education meeting. I'm not sure if that's the July meeting or the August meeting. I'm hopeful for July. And then as soon as that is approved at the board meeting, then we should get our scores in about two weeks afterwards. They have told us from the very beginning of last year that it would be fall before we get our state assessment score. So that's kind of what I'm still thinking about. How about you parents? What questions do you have about fast or anything that make a big difference? Well
047done teachers and administrators. Good job. Thank you for that data. Looks great. Mike, you got a copy of that? We'll get you all that data. You got it. Okay. Okay. Update steering committee. Anybody have anything interested in prepared for that? Michelle has not talked a lot about the finances, right? Yeah. Hyper Sandler and HGA presenting clarifying the why again just making sure there's a good solid foundation there and then um talking out the financial piece of it getting the some numbers that idea I think people appreciated having just what are what's what are we talking about as like a starting point here with different options and possibilities and I think that was appreciated um of course then it sparks more questions more clarification Um there's many questions wrote down this time. I I mean it's
048not quite there yet. Yeah, I think it's really just we'll learn some of the information that we have a lot of learning still. Yeah, there was a lot of discussion though. We'll get into a little bit more nitty-gritty this next meeting and the next one after and have some small group instructions, get some good feedback on the scenarios, on the money, on the dollars where people are kind of sitting with that. Um, this next meeting we're also going to hi uh we're going to tour the problem areas of the high school that are on our that big needs list for the high school. So, they'll get to see that and then we'll do some small group instructions and we're going to do some live polling of them. We'll have all the um um the graphs
049and stuff up there and and we can ask questions and they can live see um what everybody in the group is is um thinking about each of the things and we're going to ask them about and then um some small group discussion. So I I got a lot of feedback that people want to sit with a group and just kind of talk through some things with the people at their table or and get some some feedback and thoughts and then share that out with with everybody. I think it helps when they get to bounce their ideas off everybody when we're doing the big group and we've got someone presenting. They're not like, "What are you thinking about that?" Like, "Do you understand that?" So, we're going to give them a little time too to discuss
050and try to, you know, filter through all the things they're learning and then ask questions and provide more feedback. So, we'll continue to get feedback and as we get it too, we can bring all that data to the board as well. Andy has the reconfiguration stuff on the website. So, if you guys want to see it, all the notes, all the handouts, all that stuff, the electronics I think it was helpful too to get to learn like more about where what buckets different money is coming from and what it can be used for and just some clarification there with terminology and just understanding that. Yeah. And I gave a small one sheeter just on some expenses. You guys had seen the big one. I kind of consolidated a little bit. that Andy helped me put
051it on a smaller format and just put some important numbers down based on how much does it cost for staffing here? How much does it cost for utilities here, for technology, for whatever? And if we move, could we absorb some of those positions that would cut costs for us if we um would cut obvious obviously utilities of certain places or what percentages of capital outlay do we typically spend on each building, things like that. So, just came I didn't want to overwhelm them with too much. get the weeds of that but um just some general overall information on those things. Um so and not all these things will be cost savings if we maintain some of them. Some of them will could potentially be cost savings depending on where we go what we do. So
052depending on the scenarios especially with personnel thanks for Yeah they've been good. We've had some good also strong conversations too that have been I think needed just to get out some a little bit of our emotions on a couple things. Had some good conversations I think with some strong opinions. But I think it was needed to just kind of get it out, get those thoughts and feelings out because there's, you know, there's a lot of strong feelings about when you're talking school closures, when you're talking about a bond, when you're talking about money. Um, you know, there's a lot of emotions surrounding all those things and everybody's got different experiences. So, I thought that was really good that the group was airing out some just opinions and thoughts and get those out. I think those
053that will help us get closer to main goal for you guys. Anything else? Our next meeting is next Thursday at six at the high school. I'll put out a reminder to everybody and I'm going to put out another newsletter about what the last meeting was about. Remind them that we have one coming up. Uh we are announcing the meetings to the public um at the steering committee's meeting being very transparent about when they're meeting. So thought about putting together maybe like a I talked to HDK about this. I don't know what you guys think, but thought it might be good. You know, I'm doing all this communication about it, but it might be good for the steering committee to maybe put some talking points together that they would like me to put out about what
054this committee is doing and maybe get some feedback from them on kind of a communication plan so the greater community can can hear what they want this group to um what they're doing and what they want them to hear, what they want the public to know beyond just what I'm putting out. So I think maybe the steering committee kind of leading some of that communication as well might be helpful. I thought I'd talk to the group about that next meeting. Yeah. So one thing they did bring Piper Sale might have researched I'm not sure but the county provided the the percentages of where the money comes from in a bond right so like 50% was residential 40% was a 10% commercial right? So as you're looking at that where there was a question was posed
055well the far most of it you know is the farmers well most of the farmers are homeowners as well right? So 50% of it being residential, 40 a and 10 commercial is the breakdown. So I thought it was good interesting information. Yeah, I was that was I Yeah. So it's nice for I mean it just kind of shows the the depth that they're going to to try to answer the questions and some of the things that are coming up. So it's that's good. And I like the chart that you had on the enrollment. I mean it was just a snapshot of the historical and projected enrollment, you know, from O2 to 2030s. Yeah. Because we've had a lot of questions about what if we grow, what if we get bigger? What are we going to
056do? are we going to run out of room and and and you know I've got 30 plus years of data that are not showing that trend. Um they've showed some years of stability or just kind of you know here but I mean it is it kind of is what it is unless we've got some ginormous boom that I don't know about may come economically but we've even had that happen around us and it hasn't driven our enrollment up. I think the population piece I was listening to the news this morning about the overall global population and then and in the US is just I mean historically low. Um so people are just not having as many kids and part of that's a big piece of this though. Another question that I think I was I
057was a little I don't know if I had a great idea in my mind either was how many students within our district are homeschooled as opposed to coming to school and it was not as big of a percentage not as many as I maybe thought it was. So that was good to also know just to put some perspective there too because sometimes that's a misunderstanding that is shared widely. Sure. And HTK did a little um kind of statistical on how many families it would take to move in with an average amount of kids per family to make our grade levels need to go back to, you know, four teachers per grade level with class sizes at this and it was like 170 families would need to move into the district. two kids per family um
058to really increase the amount that we would need to to keep maintain what we're at to justify section of each grade level. So that was interesting. I don't even know where they would live, but I mean even if that was out of district kids coming in, you know, that's still a ton of families, two kids per family on average. So it's um you know the data the data is hard to see and hard to realize but it it is kind of what it is and we just need to plan for it accordingly. So okay are we ready to move on uh negotiations executive session how much time? Yep. Um what do you need? 15. Yeah. Do we need do we need to demonstrate? They want to hang out. Um if everybody's okay you guys can
059go enjoy your evening. Everybody but new guy. [Applause] Don't forget your policies. Thank you. We'll resume. I'm not going to do all the perfect. I know. I couldn't say you guys. Well, it took me four hours to figure out You don't want to do past month. I'll check one. Okay. You do have If it didn't change, you do have a year on it. I don't need It's so small. I don't know that it matters. But okay, I got a question. They in a hurry. Just that with the handbook. I'm not in any hurry because if it hasn't changed, it's a compared to last year. Well, last year we had two different I do realize that, but I feel like um this year I did try to make it easier for them. I found them separately
060and they're talking about the heading. Well, the heading was put in by me for I said OAC 2526 instead of running seven handbooks, one right after. I don't know. I put the heading on. is just a header so that when they flipped through they could see oh this is over etc. So yeah, I mean I don't So, seven more minutes. [Music] Thank you. All right. Uh, as far as the three legs report on the summer, we have our negotiations coming up unless you have something to add to that. That's about it.
