Yeah, they're back in the back. >> Yeah, if you want to just fill it out. No, for this one. >> You want me to fill this out? >> If you could, we'll wait. >> We can come back to it. >> We can wait. Yeah. Medicare. Thank you, Sher. >> All right. Love to hear your public comment. Yeah. >> Robinson, local business owner. I've got a daughter that just graduated from Lockwood. I've got two more that's in the school district. I guess I'd like to bring up the taxing app that we're using for fundraising and our questions on the legality
004of it and just how it's being ran with our students. my daughter came home and said that she if she didn't bring in 25 names that she wasn't going to be able to participate in sport. Um so there's there's issues with this legalitywise. Um the the feds that that I guess for us as businesses there's certain things that we have to do if we want to reach out to our uh customers to be able to text to them. One of them is written consent. that's not part of this program. One of them is um oh the the opt out. So the the original even text that I got there was no opt out option on this. It came later in a second text the next day. I guess I'm just concerned that we're using our
005kids to be fundraising and we're not teaching them anything as part of fundraising. Our our students, this should be a win-win for the community. It should be a win-win for the students. Students learn something as they're out raising money. there be, you know, throwing programs or throwing things that that win for the community, >> some kind of a fundraiser. You know, this is just hid behind protecting people in our parents' friends and family list. >> Our kids don't have 25 contacts in in their phones. If they do, they're friends and family that may not have here. think our our our fundraising efforts should be focused here in the Billings and the Lockwood community and not abroad. >> So you're looking at more direct intentional fundraising. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I guess I would like
006it on the agenda for a future for public comment. >> Uh which sport is your daughter in? um cheering and I'm the youngest one is in volleyball part of the volleyball program but I wasn't sure >> okay >> I will get with >> I have a meeting >> Stacy and Don and our new ad Jake >> and we will get you in after that for next meeting uh can you put your email on here and we can email you directly appreciate Thank you for bringing that to attention, sir. Any other public comments? All right, we will go to Miss Gra. >> Hello. Um, I just wanted to present my trip that I would like to take for the summer of 2027. So, the past few years I've been taking high schoolers each summer. And so
007this time we're doing the European quartet. So that's Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London. And we are adding on the two days because I've always wanted to go to Stonehenge. So we're adding on those two days because it's a shorter trip anyway. Like the I try to do 11 to 12 days. And so I just need permission to be able to hang up posters and promote on Facebook and all of that stuff and use the community room. This is the flyer that I hand out to students. Last summer we went to Greece and I will be doing that trip again. It was awesome. We did a cruise through the Greek ales and the kids had the best time. They karaokeed everybody. It was really fun. >> How many kids already? Um last year there were 20 and
008it was super fun. I had my mom as a chaffron and then Mel Camp. And then this next summer coming up I only have five students so I don't know. We're going to Switzerland and then we're going along the French Riviera. I think it's going to be beautiful. But um yeah, I have five students, but that's going to be kind of fun. Just me and five kids. And so then this one I wanted to kind of see if we could get more students by adding the Ferris in London, seeing if that's a big factor for them. And then I'm thinking I know that Josh was saying that he wants to go to a World War II one. >> Yeah. So, I have a Berlin one in my head. The future where you go to Berlin
009and then like Krakow and Prague and Budapest. >> Oh, I'm down with that one. >> Okay, I'll do that one after this one >> 100%. >> I'll keep going forever. As long as we have enough. >> Uh, I don't see that being a problem. This is not a votable >> thing, but does anybody have any concerns with Miss >> putting anything up? the ages again on this. >> Um, I take high school students, so like 9th to 12 anyway. >> Yeah. And then Anna was maybe gonna come, but I don't think she even got a Costa Rica trip or the middle schoolers. >> See that one on the winner here. >> You get a lot of staff probably trying to >> I know. I'm like, can I look forward to it? Thank you, Mr. Rob.
010Thank you. Thanks, sir. >> All right. Next, we're going to go to facilities report with Mark. already start questions. >> Uh the I saw you there was parts of the twisty slide. Did we get that replaced or did it just take >> replacing just removing it? >> Uh, thank you for you and all your team over all your hard summer work. That was excellent. Appreciate everything you do, Mark. Primary report. >> I have um Well, school is a popular place to be. Been fun. We welcomed our little early learning kids yesterday. So, they came and joined us after our kindergarteners did. Um, we have 114 kindergarteners. That's pretty high. That's why it's always scary to approve them as that district because we never know. So, six more and we're right at accreditation. And as soon
011as building school district 2 started, they started showing up. So, we're right there close where we need to be. Um, daycare is going well. That's a popular place as well. There's like 22 kids under four. And then we have some school kids after school. So, we've been hiring staff like crazy to help them out. We're just really getting in the swing of things, getting kids used to getting up and coming to school and leaving their parents and being ready for the school day. It's kind of a big transition for little. So, it's been a little rocky, but we're getting we're getting there. Um, we have added some aware therapists. They need bigger coaches. They weren't able to staff that team last year. So, we now have four full-time people in our schools. So, helping intermediate
012as well. So, we had a meeting with them today and we're able to I will have probably 12 kids on their case load and Nikki will have 10 probably just to start off the year and they're a tremendous support for those kids who need them and it helps us too. Um, all the rest we're just starting testing doing web testing to get rolling. Okay, any questions? Thank you. Intermediate. >> Good evening. Uh so this week students are finishing testing. The intermediate did make the transition um from Ames Web to NWA. So that is new to us. And I do that new because we did it years ago, but we're now back. And with new um data collection systems becomes uh pathways and protocols and different cut scores that we use to do additional screeners and
013find interventions. And so that is we're busy um having meetings and making sure that the systems we create serve our students the best that we possibly can. Um kind of just mimicking I did have a note here that the aware CSVT counseling services has moved to the intermediate. Uh we had an intake meeting and we did um some referrals up to 10 kids and they already have three. So Lita is absolutely there and we are very thankful uh that they can provide any service uh to our kids. Uh in the intermediate we have 28 new to Lockwood students and so we're just getting to know them and their families and uh just the dynamic needs of everyone. Uh a couple things to look forward to. Our big kids in the intermediate, our fifth graders are
014going to be for the first time taking part of the homecoming parade. And so uh that's under the lead of Mrs. gets and we are really excited to see that come together with with the kids. So, it's something you know hopefully that we can build on as that is a tradition and so our third and fourth graders you know have that to look forward to and build some pride uh in the lower grades too. Um, next week our PLC leadership team, so that's two reps from each grade. Um, we're meeting next week and that's a time when teachers and specialists can come to the table and say here's what is working, here's what's not working. Um, and we can problem solve as a building team. Uh, I think that's all I have for now unless
015you have any questions. I did have a conversation before we move on to middle school. I did have a conversation with Hara today at um pickup in the intermediate. Um she had had what she called a lively conversation with a parent who was parked in this bed bus parking. >> Okay. and she said that that now that the parking lot's fuller that's a bigger problem and particularly and so I don't know how we explore maybe a bus parking only sign for that area or she also mentioned that there was so that's obviously that curb outside of intermediate right before you enter the bus loop and then she also said if you continue on up that corridor to the middle school >> um she said the parking next to the curb on the bus loop was
016okay, but people are now parking on the other side as well and it's necking up that corridor. She said sometimes the buses I'm assuming if they have to wait to get in in their their spot they're supposed to be, they have to sometimes loop around again >> and they can't they can't get down there to make the loop around. >> So, I don't know how we explore. No parking signs, bus parking only signs, something to help that that out so that we're not having people park there. It's just something I wanted to see if you've noticed it's a problem and it's something that we need to address or how the district goes about considering that. I just don't know where we take it from here. But I told her I passed the conversation on. So
017>> yes, she obviously talked to us too. Uh the parent particular bus spot has not been an issue because the bus is there a little bit earlier. Whatever the hiccup was to be, right? Um I think we are aware of some of the issues. Um, with the no parking and colors, I'm sure the team would be willing to talk about signage and, you know, how we can maybe be a little more proactive with parking, etc. I don't want no and it wasn't I'm not certainly not speaking from a parent perspective. I'm speaking from how we school how we we can address it from the school >> to make it easier for you guys. Um because I could see how that could be a concern if they pull up and they get the bus can't get
018there, you know, because there's a parent there and if the parents pushing back against moving, just want to know what and because I am pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it's gone, at least from a parent perspective, parking lot doesn't seem to be any more full to me than it did last year. Um, I know you guys did a lot of ground work on that and so, but there's tweaks that may need to be done. And so, if that's something that we need to consider, I guess, and um, I think that might be helpful if parents just know that's not a place to park. >> Yeah. >> And I don't know that it is necessarily clear. You know, you're just innocently pulling. Exactly. Yeah. >> Glaring sign that says don't probably be a pretty easy tweak
019that would help everybody. We can get Corey with that with the safety and security and he can figure out signage if we need to. We can paint I know the curbs are already painted yellow. Perhaps they need to be painted red instead for no parking but we can definitely look at that Christie. >> Yeah. No, it just said I just happen to be standing there and so I said I would bring it up. So there you go. >> Well, thank you so much and I think our administrative team will probably talk about that. Thank you. >> Sure. >> Anything else? Okay, great. >> Middle schools. >> Awesome. We're off to a great start to the school year. Um, ours health system advisories going extremely well. We got a bunch of competitions going on, house competitions.
020Uh, four different houses. Uh, got our RCA app going, so kids are earning points that they'll be able to purchase things from our school store. Um our line mentors are in charge of the u the house challenges and house games. So these kids are are kind of being leaders within their houses and everything. Um it's been awesome to watch. Uh we also began uh the NWA map testing here this week. Um actually today um and we've got some house challenges going with the highest percentage of proficient students in that house uh earning 25 points. So trying to do some fun stuff instead of skips to do the rest so we can get an accurate uh picture where they are so we can support them. Um Karen's going to talk about few other things including kind
021of how we started the year with behavior and targets to keep track of our behavior documentation throughout the year and talk about at the end of the year um last year but so far to start this year um we just entered our behavior documentation to a Google form and for the first 14 days this year we've had 47 documentated behaviors um compared to 45 last year. We're about the same as last year, but two years ago we're at 203. So, we've really >> cut it down the last couple years. And then same with tardies. Um, we've been working with the staff and the kids really hard on making sure they're getting to class in time. So, this year through the first 14 days, we've only had 184 tardies and that includes tardies to school where
022last year at this point we had 307 and then two years ago had 736 through the first 14 days. So, we're really working on getting those kids to class on time and to school on time. Um, and then as far as athletics, like we have uh softball going on for our girls, uh, cross country for both boys and girls, girls volleyball, football, they have a game tonight, and we have a handful of eighth graders that are playing flag football for the high school team, too. Next game tonight as well. Have any questions on any of that stuff? Thanks for working on your uh behavior issues and your tardies. That was a drastic reduction. Appreciate it. >> High school. Now you got to follow that. >> Oh, I can because we notice what they're doing in
023the middle school. Um you know, we have a small freshman class this year, but we notice um what we're receiving from the middle school. We have really been through things with our freshman. They're still hugging each other a lot like we do. Um but we start seeing that tag in the hallways go down shortly. Um but we notice what the middle school is doing. Um uh beyond that, I want to point out someone that's sitting up at your table there, Miss Maddie. Miss Maddie has been instrumental in our uh with the student council doing our welcome uh freshman welcome day. Um it was if you know me even the littlest bit you know that I like um order and control and it was a lot um you know to really see our uh student council
024step up but watching uh specifically meetings the whole freshman group and they led them back to the classroom and did welcome activities they led them on tour and I just I I can't say enough of how proud I am of the student council and particularly Maddie. So thank you for that. Um also um is uh an increase in participation with student council this year and their leadership for um homecoming specifically for the pep assembly. We've had involvement but they are going to lead and run the pep assembly and I'm super excited about that. I think that is that modeling that you know we see it start um through programs like the Lions mentor um and all the way through. It's it's a piece that's built into the high schools, but we have to start seeing
025it come out in steps like these for Manny and the student council to model for other kids. Um, and so I'm very grateful and very excited about where this can where this can go and grow. Uh, focusing on schoolwide expectations, as you guys know, our cell phones and earbuds only for passing periods and for lunchroom. Um, we still have some work to do on that. um when we couldn't uh locate a student cuz uh they were out taking some pictures. I the parent was staying there. I said she goes, "I'll just text her." I'm like, "Well, she should have her phone." She's like, "Ah shit." And she got her text right back and she's down in the office. So, we have some room to work there. I bet Maddiey's smiling because she knows it too.
026Um so, that's just an area of improvement. Um hallway passes, we're seeing I feel like in the last couple of years, students are getting due to class and staying in class and coming down with the cast with which needs permission by the teacher. Um, and then we're really also focusing on that students aren't leaving the first 10 minutes of class and the last 10 when we're opening up the learning loop and we're closing that learning loop so that our students are with us for that and they can transition to their next uh class. I cannot say enough about some of the following people for our new staff support. We've had something that could have been a real chaotic start and it has not been a chaotic start for us. um Andrea, Laura Verluchi, and Cole
027in with planning and checking in on our long-term subs. It's just been absolutely um imperative that that happen, but it also has just been beautifully done. Um and I feel like our long-term subs have had really some groundwork for them to be able to do something that's been amazing for us. So, our students that were not experienced in their teacher, we hired them late. They needed to move here. Um, our long-term subs then were there every day. So, we didn't have a change for for the students and that has been just just paramount for them, but it also has just really made our start a lot smoother than it could have been. Um, so thank you. In addition, um, our English teachers have been helping out as well. So, again, Andrea, Laura, Cole, and English
028teachers, thank you for that. Something new for us was we added an assessment center. An assessment center uh one of our English teachers starts um during early birth period for students need to they want to retake an assessment. They didn't score as high or as well as they wanted to. Um or they were absent and they need to make up that uh first go with the assessment. Um and so that has been just getting started. I've heard teachers really being glad about that. um what they do is they fill out a little Google form saying, "Hey, this student needs to take this assessment." They put in either um in the assessment center box or they um uh hand deliver it to that teacher that's doing that and then um the student gets an email to
029remind them they need to take that assessment and they have it for x number of days because of course as you guys know we you guys approved our grading and there are timelines for high school kids um in there. So, it's really really important that we do that. Starting midocctober, um we'll be doing some ACT prep um on the from that assessment center as well. So, students that want to um take some more uh taking advantage of someone helping them through some ACT uh prep work, we'll start that mid-occtober. Um and we're doing some professional development until then. And the last thing is time change. Um you know, Mr. D and and Mr. cabin. I think sometimes we get in the hallway first period and we think that class has already started and the bell
030hasn't been rung. Our kids are getting to class first period. Um I have I just am it's little ghost town in the hallways and so I don't think our change from going from the 9:00 start to the 808 has been anything um negative. Our kids are we still have a tardy line. I'm not going to say party line but I don't believe it's any larger um than it has been. and then our students are um getting to class and I'm I've been really glad that that early uh implementation uh indicators that it's going well for us. So that was a lot. You have any questions for June? Uh a community member brought to Cory's attention I think it's just a semantics and wording. um they were under the assumption that we were getting rid of
031advanced placement but we consider that dual credit. >> Now they were thinking advanced placement as college credit but we consider that dual credit. Correct. >> Yep. Um we don't do AP uh currently. What we do is dual enrollment and so they get the high school credit and the um college credit. But we also have classes that are honors classes. Yes. >> And so we have a general geometry class but we have an honors geometry class. We have a general English class and we have the honors English class. So we just don't have advanced placements AP title for them and our honors level courses are high school credit only. So we have the equipment. >> We just call them dual enrollment instead of AP. >> Well, there is a difference. The dual enrollment is high school
032and college, but the honors classes is high school credit only. So we absolutely are not getting rid of those. Yeah. >> Any other questions for high school? Thank you, Glenn. >> Superintendent report. >> Blow this up because I now can't see it. >> All right. Our enrollment is at 1538, which has been pretty steady now. So, I think that is around where we'll probably be staying. It probably won't go up significantly this year, but that's not a bad number. Um, we will have some change because we'll have our exits and then our new registrations. Like Jenny was saying, people are now schools starting in other districts and parents that live here will now start their kids here. We have it, it happens every year. Our primary is at 322 and attendance currently is 99.78%. Intermediate
033is at 338, attendance rate 99.6%. Middle school is at 376, attend attendance rate 99.68%. And high school is at 502 and attendance is 99.59%. So, this is a few weeks, but I mean, that's not bad for the first opening days. We currently have 169 students enrolled through the open enrollment process, which is about where we've been, a little bit less, but um it's not a bad number. Um I would like to publicly thank from the bottom of my heart the school board, our administrative team, our staff, our community for the support I've received. um significant changes in my life, but you guys have provided the the stuff I needed. I just wanted to say thanks. Our open house and opening days of school went very well, and thanks to Kelly Kinsey and Julie Rafy for
034planning that took place with the busing changes. It hasn't been as awful as we thought, and the stuff that Christy brought up is stuff that we'll probably be tweaking over probably the next two or three months of getting parents not to park in that spot or putting signs up to help reinforce that. Uh district and union representatives have begun meeting to form committees related to the outcomes of negotiation processes that took place last year. The committees will be reviewing current teacher salary matrix um with the intent to reconstruct a more sustainable matrix reviewing the information presented by the insurance trust and working on recruitment and retention. And I believe there's probably another committee that I've missed in there that came up after I had to have mine. The district was awarded a $5,000 grant for
035the backpack meals program from the Billings Community Foundation. The district has also been invited to apply for the next round of the office of justice program grants. This this time around I will apply for a half a million dollars, not the 250,000. So that will be the entire proposal to update all of our cameras and all of our um technology related to that for the whole district, not just a few of the cameras at a time. uh district will be working on their Lions Path Academy charter school application which I can say is now complete but it is not due until the 27th of October. So it is now done though and will be presented again like we did last year with the recommended adjustments that came from last year's um application. Uh meeting was
036held on Friday the 5th with representatives of Western Native Voice and our POW planning is in the process. We will have Western native voice support on our indigenous people day which is I believe November 8th and then they will help us plan a full week of of the Native American study or Native American celebration in the spring which will be a pow-wow. There will be a TP presentation in our bus loop from different tribes will be putting up their different tepeees. We'll light those at night like they do up on the rims. Um, lots of things going on with that, but the meeting was very successful and thanks Gwen for being too because she actually helped a lot with what we what we need to get done. Uh, we'll be completing egrants this week for
037I'll get started. I can't say they're all going to get done, but for title special ed gifted talented and the Montana Reach Literacy Grant. Those will go over the next three to four weeks. Our special ed funding just came in. Um, our funding increased significantly in title. It went down a little in special ed. Um the reading grant has been a great boon for us again having that back to help offset cost for supplies and salary. Okay. >> Uh the district has signed an updated with Head Start and aware those were attached. The Head Start will be required to pay a fee early starting this year for cleaning and maintenance. It's not a huge fee, but I thought it was time that we start to actually get something back for some of the the spaces
038that are just being rented for free. So, and they were very much they thought that was very agreeable. We also helped our Head Start program set up uh food service with Chartwells and then they're working that out. It really isn't anything to do with us, but now they don't have to bring meals out from buildings to our Head Start program. Actually, Chartwells is helping get that done here. So, it's been good for those. Um Aware has placed a team and I think Miss M. Wolf talked about this. Aware has placed a team on campus. Originally a two member team, but one of the lead persons was a former CCT person that was at Lockwood before um the program went away. She asked to have her entire team placed out here. So we have four team
039members and that's at no cost to the district. So that's nice that the grant we had to place somebody here is expiring but we now have actually three more people than we had through the grant. So that is it. >> I'd like to remind everybody that last year when our Lions Path Academy Charter School application was not accepted, it was not due because of our plan. It was due because of a formatting issue. We put it in as bullet points and they wanted more of a narrative style. So that's what we >> backwards chess that we put it in narrative. Yeah. >> Bullet points. Outline. >> So that was why it wasn't accepted last year. Hopefully this year it'll be a different story. I'm excited for the POW. Thank you for that, Don. >> And
040by the way, there will be pride, too. We made that point right away. >> Yeah, >> there will be pride. Any other questions for Don? Welcome to council. >> Many of you probably know me already, but I'm Madison Bry. I am president of our city council. Normally, you would see Harrison up here, but even today we have made great advancements in our homecoming preparations and state art posted by either late night or early tomorrow morning. And we are also looking for rounds for our homecoming dance and our senior sunrise. The dance will be held September 19th at 9:30 p.m. And our senior sunrise will be held September 23rd at 6:30 a.m. That's pretty much all we have currently. >> Uh, tell me the senior sunrise again. >> September 23rd at 6:30 a.m. >> I can
041do cooking again. >> Perfect. I will. >> Corey, you gonna be able to make that? >> Yeah, I think I can probably >> You got me down for chefing to dance, right? >> I got me down. >> And senior sunrise is 6 >> 6. Uh, if we're helping out, we would recommend arrive like 6:15ish. >> Put an end for 6. >> Thank you. Uh, next we're going to go to Mr. Lynch update on baseball. >> Um so you guys are aware baseball is on um agenda item this evening. Um hopefully improved um a lot of ground work for baseball was already done prior to me getting here. Um, but from the short time that I've been here about the Montos, the California people that have come and talk to me about u baseball and how
042important it would be to get that um started here. Obviously, this is from what I understand a pretty big baseball community. Um, it's got a big little league program. Um, most of the kids here grow up playing baseball and so I mean some of states across the state it's a it's a very growing thing. um with multiple multiple schools adding baseball every year. Um so just with talks with the with the administration um and what I've heard from the community that would be uh our recommendation to u to move forward with that. Um, as far as the backing kind of things, the financial side, um, something really cool, Shields has agreed to essentially u donate a sponsor 90% of our, uh, of our initial starter cost um, which will result in about close to $20,000.
043So, they're pretty much going to cover all of the equipment that that it's going to take for us to get get off ground. Um, so really the only thing it's going to um cost us is reforms um and then just uh excitement and stuff to to hire coaches in that. So, and obviously the the facility u the facility stuff in regards to that I know Mike had several conversations um and I've had a couple conversations with members of the league board um and said they'd be on board with us using the facility down there um and so this is going forward I'll I'll immediately reach out to them and have some conversations about facility uses and stuff like that. I do know that the field down there um is usable for MHSA guidelines. So, we
044can totally use that. It just might be a little short. Might be a little bit of home run for green, but um you know, that's all right. Just just having a place to play practice and get going. Um and then obviously there's several other facilities around Billings that some of the other local high schools will not contract out to unions that would be available as well. A any A question Z. >> How many other schools are doing baseball? >> Is it is class A and double A combined like a roundroin? >> So that just went um it's going to mhsa to be voted on and they're the proposal is to split. >> So it'll be double A will have their own and then AB and C will have >> okay division. >> Yeah. So there
045there's there's quite a few it won't be before too long that a doesn't study off. We've already had started these conversations this summer during the class day meetings and even just our last uh monthly meeting there last two weeks ago. Um they're talking about we have we're getting to the point we have enough eight games to to just split off and have our own um own team. >> Oh, we do already. >> It's pretty darn close. I mean we have we have more teeth than than us. >> Okay. >> So that that will be that'll be coming very near future. >> So probably within next year >> any other questions for Jake? >> So I know we haven't met yet, Jake, but I'm the American coach out here and the company that I go to
046for uniforms is one. That's about it'll be roughly we paid $450 last year that was for two such uniforms ball helmets and workout gear. So we roughly figured right around $500 maybe increase is it but the uniforms are camper uniforms. This is one of the hats that we have. It's they're they're all fitted everything done. They personalize everything for you. There's the blind uniforms. Um, I've gone through five different companies in the last four years and this is probably by far the most most we actually going back next year. So that's already handled if you want to go that route. Um, as far as anything else, I've already got I've already started laying out complex first and I can share with you guys. I'm willing to help out any way possible. But I want to
047let you know at least I'm working that's cost and if need be the leading team will help out to pay for some of it too. So >> wow it's getting cheaper and cheaper help we stay home >> this thing I mean it's not going to micro but we want kids to play >> and that's where I stand >> to help out kids in the community. >> Appreciate that. That's great. >> What's that? I mean, just my experience in being in several different um communities, several different schools, baseball kids, baseball, you know, and then they want to play baseball. And now that it is offered and it's offered as a high school sport, those kids are going to go somewhere else and play, but they can't play there. Um, and that's that's kind of the feedback
048I've got to. I know baseball's it's an expensive sport up equipment, fast, all that stuff. Um, and I think that that's the biggest hurdle schools are are facing um when when they're getting started and and we have that hurdle already. So, yeah. Thank you guys. Schoolboard goals. Can you pull that up for me, Don? This is our new schoolboard goal format. It's on there. And if you look, if you go past the bottom here, it has uh let's do strategic goal domains, academic, academic excellence, and student outcomes 2526. That's what the board wants to focus on big this year. And if you keep going down, you'll see other things like early learning foundation maintain until 2028. So we can get more data on that. And as we go down even farther, there is I mean
049college and career readiness that's going to be ongoing. But the goals have dates on them now. Uh mental health and access support 2026, that's when we're really going to focus on that. The aware program and things like that. So that's now we have a goal document that we can look at and say, okay, did we meet this goal? What are we doing on that? And us as board members, when we directed Don to focus on those things, >> we can hold him accountable and give him actual ways to say, "Yes, we did this. know we need to work on it, things like that. Previously, our goal items were not trackable in my opinion. So, this is our new format that we're going to use. Peruse them, look at them, see if we need to do
050anything else for them. >> There will be a new poster design. We started that and then I was gone. So, um Mariah and I are working with Canva to try to get these replaced with the actual just the main goals on there so that we can have the at least the the five outlined. And then if you guys want, we can do another one with what we're working on for the year right next to it. So we can get that put up there so that that's on the board on the board wall. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions about that? Uh other board agenda items or board reports, the things that were not put on there. Um it's a new school year. Just want to remind everybody that we have to visit every building
051before the end of the year. And also we also have your golden gavvel uh trainings. We need to do 12 per year. Correct. Dian 12 hours. >> So there's some stuff on MTSBA right now. Um put an AirPod in if you can listen to it. It's great. There's also one on what was that one Stacy about uh trustee responsibility. That was a good one on there. >> Forget the name of it. That was the third video, the of the new trustee series. Okay, number three. >> Yeah, there's a nice new trustee series again, too, if you want to look at those. But I encourage everybody to don't wait till the end of the year before you're everybody's scrambling. Try to get everything done. I do believe Stacy and I are going to the high school
052tomorrow at 1. So, >> thanks for the morning. >> FYI, >> so there's room for one more. or somebody else wants to come. >> Okay, we got Shane going with us, too. Is that okay, Miss? Okay. >> Uh, next. >> Well, you could say no. >> I can't say hi to everybody. Look busy. >> You can come anytime you want. >> Uh, safety committees. Corey. >> Um, I ended up missing this last one from the not I got from there. It looks like we're uh doing some changes to uh some phone number and contacts for the crisis team and doing some tests make sure that those lock down and stuff intruder and good. It looks like uh they're setting up drills. Okay. >> Keep those private not get those out. Yep. Uh, and then you're
053going to look into signage, >> whatnot. >> Thank you. Budget committee. Miss Deianne, are we able to schedule a budget committee meeting? You're ready for us? >> Yes. >> How about the end of the month? That work? >> Sure. >> Budget committee. What about you guys? >> Well, 22nd through the 30th. How's that look? >> 23rd. >> No. No, >> maybe on Monday 30th works. It's a Tuesday. >> Okay. 30th. 30th at what time >> you want to keep it at 6. >> So, how's yours work for the afternoon? >> 2:30. 2:30. Bear with me. If I don't put it in my phone, it's not going to happen. Okay. uh career fair committee Corey >> just still making lists of more businesses and getting it ready for hoping to begin about the same time this
054next year. >> Uh are we pushing for the have resumes? Yes, I would definitely like to push for maybe the week before have like resume writing classes or something that we can push the kids because I think a couple kids had resumes and they got apprenticeships so we can get more kids to actually go through the resume. >> Okay, >> get that done. I think I'm gonna have high school go first this year because they missed out on all the good stuff because Yeah. Uh, can you when you decide what day you actually have it in concrete, can you get with Miss Cool to make sure that we have the resume whatnot's done? >> No problem. It'll probably be I think it was March. >> Okay. >> We got a little uh >> negotiations committee.
055You guys don't have anything correct right now, but paras are coming up. So, Don will let you know when that hits. Uh, curriculum, >> uh, no update. >> Okay. Uh, community engagement committee, >> we have updates. Uh, Josh actually spearheaded a car show two Sundays ago. Uh, just a way to welcome everybody back to school and start to bring community in. And it was a hit, I think. Um, we had 63 cars show up, probably about 250 to 275 people from the community. Um, we had four food vendors. We had obviously all the cars. We had awards. We gave out I think 17 awards. We didn't we just kind of based on who was there that day and we gave out lots of awards and um the the car owners seem to really enjoy being
056at the show. They stuck around all day. Um, we had face painting and a B's house, so the kids were having fun and, um, it was a really great turnout. We see it as a really good event to continue in the future. We want to open it up to more clubs. This, you know, now we'll kind of have an idea and a plan. Um, like student council, uh, booster club, I don't know, all the all the different clubs. We did have some JOTC kids volunteer at the bounce house, which was awesome. They got served volunteer hours. So really would just like it to be the big boost of the beginning of the school year. Um yeah, and we did get the cops called on us twice. >> So that's kind of the our most proud
057moment of the car show. So um and then I did want to share just another little thing I didn't even talk to anybody about, but um a little over a year ago, I talked to a rancher in the community and they wanted to get healthy food. They just had a passion to get healthy food into school. I kind of mentioned it to Don uh Sedexo or whatever. Pretty much shut door. Now with Chartwells, Don reached out to her again, which I really appreciate. She cold called and really exciting, she's going to be able to provide local uh Yellowstone County ranchers beef. They get to send it to Livingston Livingston who will process it for free. Um, so then they're able to pass that on to Chartwell who is now going to be able to provide
058um, like right now she said any month they would serve about 120 pounds of beef in the entire school district, which I mean my family eats about that. Like that's insane. And now they're going to have thousands of pounds of beef at a better cost than chicken. Uh, you know, hormone grown cage grown chicken versus Montana beef. Um, so they're going to be able to provide really good food and I just think it's such a cool win for our community to have local ranchers and our kids are going to have healthier food, which just win-win. So, >> um, kind of community centered and I just wanted to share. >> That's great. >> Is that it? >> That's it. >> Okay. Uh, one thing that I would like to bring up about the car show, one
059common theme was how much does it cost? Where's the money going to? We had it for free. It was free to come. It was free to put a car in everything. Uh next year, I'm looking at you, student council. That would be a great place to sell the calendars or anything else you guys want to do. I mean, if we could get it as the kickoff year for the fundraising, too, if we could just get, you know, academics and let's get the kids that don't usually. I mean, Booster Club, they got a pretty good team, but thinking about the the leadership aspect. >> Yeah, >> we could do that. Lockwood Water will just hit the fire hydrant. Just don't tell them. >> But yeah, let's uh let's keep growing this and we'll keep it going.
060I appreciate everything that everybody did. Uh next year we can have like a tip jar. That was one thing that somebody suggested having a tip bar at the registration table. You just come by, put whatever group is raising money. It could be a trips or student council. It could be a tour fund or graduation. >> Yeah. So, we can give a give an award to whoever. >> Yeah. There you go. >> All right. So, thank you for that. That was great. I love the I love the beef story. >> Uh consent agenda. Is there any disagreement with consent agenda as presented? Any agree disagreement with consent agenda as presented today? Any disagreement with consent agenda? Agenda passes. Next first agenda item, approve baseball as high school sport. >> I move that we approve baseball high
061school sport. >> Oh, okay. I got Okay. First from Corey, second from Shane. Discussion from the public. Discussion from the board. >> I want to make sure I didn't miss this. When Mia was asking me for food, um, we're not up against any deadlines. Those deadlines have been met for baseball. He said last time, >> this is the only one we have is board approval because it's due in two weeks. Uh, yeah. >> Okay. So, we're square on that. >> We're good. We're two weeks ahead. Y. >> All right. Wonderful. >> Any other discussion from the board? All those in to all those in favor of approving baseball as our newest high school sport say I. >> I. >> All those opposed, same sign. Hearing none.

There's I know Mrs. Pool filled about three or four more prior to get to this being posted. There might be >> somebody or just filling in the blank. >> Uh Skills USA robotics there. still missing. >> Are they still on there? Add it in. >> Okay. >> What's the random 2200 and column B? I >> think because there were two people that day last. It was split. >> I don't see. >> That's right. Based on student council, there were two student council. Now there's one. So they're receiving half of it. There's not two student council advisors right now. >> What's that? >> No. Steve Parks receiving, 1100.
064If we had two, there would be 2,200. >> No, he would get 2,200 because there should be two. There's only one, right? >> Oh, okay. >> So, 22 and then take out the other show. >> So, it was at one. >> Oh, there's >> so um it is one position >> two spots in C. So, I think it's just okay.

So, it's always that everybody's ready, but we felt quite a few that were um open during the summer. Did we film book today about you? >> Um, that would be an athletic. >> It's just been advertised. We just put the advertisement out. >> Yeah. >> You put that name in there. >> You're sitting right there. >> I would like a teacher to take it over. If you can't find
