001member vice president andent pres and myself pres so we do thank you okay D approve agenda I make a motion that we approve the agenda have a second majority rules approval of January 21st regular board meeting minute I'll motion to approve the [Music] for that meting okay I'm going down to reports uh um superintendent come thank you Madame President members of the board good afternoon on our community members good evening good afternoon today so um you have my report and uh but I just would like to highlight some uh special mention as well as some specific reports is specifically some updates regarding our application excuse me for the the trail project the district Trail project and um we had a conversation with our uh uh operations Department as well as our transportation department unfortunately at
002this time the grant money will only be able to cover the cost for the Beacon Light installation and that means we will start working on on how to uh continue working on on how to get us our Trail for and and our Trail um will help to secure our students who need to use the roads when have to come to school so um Miss Miss Landy if you don't if you have anything to share about that one um the only thing that I will add is it was essentially a clarification because both charl and myself along with Dr were under the impression that the um the entire project and when it was presented during the board meeting would be that it would include the tril and so um we did express our concerns to the
003agency and to the Department of Transportation about how we were under the impression that it would include the the trail for the kids um but unfortunately there's not enough funding um to cover the Trill um essentially we're looking at 1.2 million 1.2 million just to complete yes yeah so not very much but a total cost of 1.2 um however they are gonna inform us of some potential gr that we can apply for that would assist us and potentially getting that so Char's already working on it and and that's work so hope we can can get that done we were so excited but I don't want to dump in the excitement because we were hoping to will be able to create the trail but it's still good we should still be able to create those people
004live to tell cars to say slow down and then we will continue to work on those tra and I just want to one um we also will be contacting um I don't know what which region that we're in um but essentially the district did have crosswalks before um that were on the highway until they did some um reconstruction on the roads and so those for whatever reason weren't repainted so we're in the work and trying to contact U the Department of Transportation to see if we can get those back on the grow that people understand it's across cross so just so you guys are aware that and the other operational project that has already been that has started and still continuing is making sure for our p and Banks control we have already started that
005last January and January I reported that we have hired a new water operation person and uh Miss uh brandley has been working with him collaboratively to address our uh out of compliance and so I would like to introduce to you Mr Paul Deo and uh he gave a very he gave a very uh good report as far as in the last one month alone what has already been done so I I shared with you a report as of our finding and Mr G if you don't mind introduce yourself and tell us what have we done so far so uh my name is Paul and I came on with sole purpose of knowing kind of already what needs to be done because I worked here previously when I was very green before I got certifications or
006anything so I know there's some challenges with uh sampling uh disinfected byproduct which is going be the water um we historically here have very high readings of that one specific sample and that puts us in violation that's the main reason why the children can't drink the drinking water um so the goal that I P my head coming back I said I want to be able to get that violation scrubbed off the book so that way we can eventually transition I'm comfortable to know have prop place how we want to transition back to sering the water that we pump from the ground here um if we water system um because I've worked with a lot of different uh Water Systems as far as public go but this is nonpublic so it has different needs and requirements
007um all those are fairly easy to meet I think it's just been a combination some complacency some you know newer personnel and then U just some people that kind of filled in the gaps in the meantime that's why we haven't been able to achieve those goals previously but um as far as uh you know I'm personally invested my son comes here so I I definitely see it as something that we can achieve and we're going to work towards that it might take about two two and a half years to get that one scru off the books they will want to see at the New Mexico environmental department at least a year year and a half of clean sample results before they green light a school you know that's a big that heavy on them as
008well as all of us so um that's the main goal there's some other violations that have been kind of swept by the wayside and and we're addressing those um so moving forward you know there's certain periods I can sample for like lead and copper was missed that only can be sampled in the summer so during summer that will be the go for summer as to get that one off the books and then we'll have to post a notice which we'll have to say it for one year and then after that that one's gone so little by little little little way we know what our mess is and we know how and the good thing is being able to bring Mr Pano already made us in compliance with one particular issue so part of the requirement
009is that we have to have an employed or at least contracted person that exclusively is certified and to oversee and we are as of December well as of December January we already so now we are going to work and if you would notice we we' already posted um the required posting public posting and so um it's a good timeline to for corrective action but at the same time we continue to provide support to our students with our water system for drinking water system but hopefully the idea is if we become self- sustaining again then that will help us uh reduce uh dependence on water delivery and our students can you know can access without any more difficulty of bringing their own water battle or anything like that so that's our goal for the next 2
010and a half years so is there any question at this time okay and then uh sorry um the next is I would like to also um February is our uh res security or resource officers month but at the same time there's also a lot of students and uh staff that I would like to recognize today for their efforts in supporting our students so uh missos if you don't mind uh give us uh or call us call the students and the stuff that needs to be recogn good evening SCH board members um uh I would like to recognize three staff members for this month of February um it was SRO appreciation so um it was Don C of course and unfortunately not unfortunately is is with the team districting tonight but we just want to appreciate

015school districts report from with the youth risk and resiliency servy this is very powerful because this is what I have been trying to advocate for our district and it would require a cultural change and and an attitude change and a a change from everybody that works in the district and with our stents on how to help our students our student students success academically relies on their Readiness physical Readiness have they eaten have they taken care of their uh mental mental health Readiness if they are you know if they are safe if they feel safe and so it's I don't know if you had a chance to to review this report but what I would like to bring attention is that in and this and the Sur is very is very easy to answer do you
016have thought of this yes and no what is very uh not intriguing but very alarming is 43% of our Middle School student reported that they have seriously contemplated of taking their life and uh we have 40% of our students are showing symptoms of anxiety 36% of our students reported that they have feeling of depression and uh and it it shows the Hemes Valley Public School and the New Mexico the state data and but at the same time I also would like to bring attention to to the Supportive Services that the students reported like for example do they have a person that they can TR in the school and it's the middle school at the time reported only about 50% F that they have someone that they can trust and we have just adopted a strategic
017plan and that is one thing that we would like to address and so this is a call to action and the board has already supported the effort and it is a call to action to our parents to our leaders student leaders and to our staff that we need to have sit down and come up to address to this we cannot lose one kid and so we need to change the way we we perceive things we perceive our job here we're not just we're not just workers to come here to to prepare lesson and teach to drive the bus to serve food to approve po to enter po we actually have students that we need to take care of so I enjoy the school board to continue supporting uh the district's effort in addressing this particular
018particular issue because uh it's easy to say we cannot have students we should not have students that fails but they have students we have students that are failing but the failing is not the issue the issue is why are they failing is it because they are thinking they're coming in are they are they going through something so we need our services has to adjust with that reality so so that this is part of the discussion that we are going to have as a as a staff uh during this PD during this Friday and uh we but I would also like to report that we have last January we've introduced to you our students who had completed their peer uh youth mental Heth career we are bringing in additional support and um and right now in
019the legislation they're talking about funding specifically for mental health in schools so I think the district this is not this is not this is the time but really this is a wake up call and a call to action for everybody to realign what we do and how we do things to prepare this students not just to succeed in their math science English academics not just to succeed in their Sports not just to succeed in their extracurricular activity but to actually feel safe not just here in school in our community so with that I stand to question M president R to the mental health or to the entire thing entire the whole his whole report um just a followup question Dr kamada and I think you mentioned it um when we were rescheduling board meeting but
020um workshop dates correct yeah um I would like to ask how we are ready for the retreat okay and if the board will be able to identify that uh a time that we can all get together I will be available in time of the we workshop dates for the board or for the retreat for the board and uh although I have not I have not gotten any um dates particularly but I did have the ability to um if we need to have our school attorney so that they can answer the question including the policy review in the retreat so I did ask our uh our lawyer would be available and can guide us through that and um we can do a retreat and do another work session with the lawyer because our lawyer will not
021be available under the third week of March and but we can do the repeat separate we can do three together week March yes but I'm available for a retweet earlier than that any any other questions um no question but I would like to thank Paul was it Paul yes um you know thank you for all the extra work that you are in and making sure that our students are and our whole Community will be able to um move forward with you know the results of that so I appreciate it and you know hopefully whatever you need um that they will support you oh yeah repres we're gonna we're on our way it's just a matter of fun yeah and we have the right path so I believe that we should be in 100% good standing
022with them like I said two two and a half thank you again because very important it has been brought up since March of last year for our curriculum and instructional materials and I would like to I'm happy to report that we have been approved and awarded for some funding for u high quality instructional materials we do have some carryover so starting March we are convening our instructional Improvement committee to start talking about what materials we have to to buy so if any of the board is interested in that you know to give their uh input as and priority as to you know what instructional materials we can use for English as well as other core classes I will share the the schedule of those committee meeting so that if anyone is interested you can join
023us for that instructional committee good anything else that would be okay thank you m thank you Dr I'm now going to be um Elementary School um report good evening parents and students and Community member staff [Music] M you got a copy of my report already but this is just added um you'll just notice that the student dat thing the report to the one you already and so um other than just I just want to share with you really quick if you you look at the data I've included the first two pages for Kinder first and second we focus and rely on mostly I station for our data fora and for um for that and that's what the state looks like and so so there's actually two separate they just and reading if you look at
024this the one I want us to look at it really is just look at the B on top so you look at the graph it goes from August to February and so today I actually sat down with um with some visitors from the pet department they came today we sat down and reviewed the data and the main thing they were focused on was how are our students performing compared to last year so this year's third graders compared to last year's third graders is the biggest one we usually look at data to say our current year we look at where were our third graders beginning of the school year we're going to compare that to how they're performing right now in January and we'll do another comparison to the end of the year in May what
025I learned that that that was just best practices when you look at data so you're looking at the same group of kids and their growth throughout the year but from the state today what I learned I knew this but they reemphasized it that the way they determine where we stand especially on Vistas and we all know Vistas determines where we stand um um how are graded and how our students are learning as they compare like right now we're in February of 2025 they are comparing our current third grade February 2025 data to last year February 2024 third graders so they're comparing students from year to year even though they're not the same group of kids now that can be subjective because we're like wait a second we want our kids to perform against basically themselves
026who want to see how they grow throughout the year because that's how we grade students that's how we grade students on their report cards is against themselves on their own individual performance but just to let you all know so when we get to the end of the year put my third fourth and fifth grade students take their assessment in May or excuse me in April for the end of the year um for their final on the Ia for reading math and science will compare that data to how those how fifth graders performed on it this year against how they performed on it last year so that is a whole different way now that we're looking at data so it's not changing it we're just adding another lens to it so we're keeping where if you
027have students children here in our schools we're looking at their growth individually and how they compare to their peers during this school year but now we need to also include how they compare to the students from last year and so and and to me that's kind of hard to swallow because it's a whole different group of kids and so but that's how the state determines how much growth we done so looking at this so looking at this work on this the data I'm sharing with you is just how we're growing this year it's not a comparison to last year just yet I'll make sure we get that one for next time but looking at this um I station is a program that we use and again that's what the state looks at and so you'll
028see for Kinder and it goes all the way to third grade and then for third fourth and fifth for math you don't see graphs there but you just see a comparison of the percentage of students who were needing support near Target or On Target and so that one is just Ty um as it is so that is where we are at um if you look at from look at Kinder first second third we are doing what they pointed out today we knew this our visit church today they pointed out we spent your classrooms your grades are making games but it's not the games that they need to see like I might have a third grader who came in with third grade kindergarten low first grade reading skills right now in February they might be at
029second and going into third that's a lot of growth for a child but remember the state wants to see proficient they have to be at grade level so I feel that as far as the changes and the systems that we've been doing in the district and I've recorded on this before like we've we're identifying who our English language learner students are we now screen we've screened them they're in the process of testing so they're being tested as we speak this week and so we'll have that data and then also how are we also making sure we're meeting the needs of our students who have um IEPs so that's also another thing they factor into looking at our data so that's even Tak it into consideration the ones they emphasize today other than let's compare last
030year third graders to this year thir graders the other thing they emphasize is how where are we as a district or actually at the elementary school where are we at meeting the needs of our students who are English language Learners and so they're going to be focused on that and I think Dr you can add to it there was a bill that was passed that really is looking at that so our state is now going to say overall they're going to we now need to show proof that we are really moving forward to have staff that are are trained and have the credentials to be working with students who are English language Learners and the biggest um factor to that is that they have an endorsement um in bilingual or teach teaching Eng as a
031second language and that's an endorsement that I think it's like I don't know 12 18 credit hours on top of whatever their degree is to get that endorsement and so that so I after so those were the two key things that they left with me and said okay so they said your work's cut out and I said we are we're on it we'll do it so when they visit again next time probably in the fall or late summer um that's coming up then we'll be talking about that so what they're wanting is to see a plan from the elementary and probably it'll trickle up to middle school high school how are we going to be meeting the needs of our students who are English language Learners and so we've always done but now they want
032to really hone in and focus on that and so other that board members um I stand for questions and the rest of the report is here any questions for so do we have any of our teachers right now trying to get that endorsement we had talked about it last year yes um not in my bill I have no teachers working on it um in my building I have two teachers that have their t endorsement um but that is a discussion that we've had at leadership to see how we can do that how can we make that happen another District other districts and they actually gave me some examples of what we could do they said in some of the districts they use some of their money their professional development money to where they might invite
033an instructor from um like say say um Highlands an instructor can come here and those that need to get endorsed will take courses here maybe L making up Tuesday night Thursday night or something like that where the district helps pay or we can send the teachers to go get those endorsement give them some time to complete it give them maybe a year a year and a half to complete it and then there's a tuition a tuition reimbursement they've also showed me for my building they said Mrs Ben you have this one a grant right now the title one non-competitive Grant they said if you really want to start getting your teachers to sign up and to either do a tuition uh reimbursement where they go and we pay them back after they get their credits
034or if you want to invite an instructor here or do an online course and give the teachers they said they're willing to sit with uh me and Dr kamada and to revamp re um do an edit to that Grant to see if we'll turn some of that money to where we can go ahead and get teachers started get Summer to start on the credentials for t endorsement so they were very helpful and anyway address the concern uh uh Miss Kathy at the beginning of the year I did reach out to three different colleges that we that would offer those online classes unfortunately we don't have anybody who's willing to sign up for that um uh so we could not enter the PO I've contacted um Eastern New Mexico Fort Lewis and un CNN not not
035un CNN uh to get Tel endorsement so um I budgeted that last semester on title two and also from carryover of the essers at the time and um for our estaff that completed their professional development plan non requested uh to part participate into that uh into that program so uh for next year uh it will be re-budget it again but um we need buy it from the staff to to to do it because um uh the budget was I think it's per credit about I don't know if it's it's 365 or something and then um then we have to like what Miss Ben mentioned um the the conversation I have with the universities is if they are willing to come here or are they going to do virtual learning and it's for two years you
036know and depending on the credentials or depending on the transcript that that the current teachers have if they need two years or if they need just one year to get the tel endorsement uh but the district continues to support our FAL Endor staff that if they do have FAL endorsement they do get S so and uh it 2500 2,000 2,000 for the fal endorsement and um but at the same time um I'm working with Mrs Ben to put together a plan to address our elll to create an actual El Services I know that last October I told you I'm going to come up with the plan on November it hasn't planed out quite well um we have some stuffing need that we need to address first and uh but hopefully um we but we were
037able to do our identifying um testing so we've significantly increased those students that were identified and this this uh last week this week and next week all those that have been identified for elll are being tested for we testing which is one of the indicator used for the uh for the school grading so um there's still a lot of uh planning that needs to happen uh and the Staffing is one of our high need on that one because just like special education certified elll indoors teachers are the one who can provide that service so yes but uh I'm glad that uh the elementary is starting to have that conversation and uh Mrs Ben is uh meeting with uh her plct uh as in relation to the uh instructional Improvement plan Mrs Ben and I had
038already worked together and uh uh uh some of her lead teachers to start identifying what did not work before what did they find out from other school what is working but at the same time the Baseline is improving literacy you whatever material we choose we have to improve ly ahead and that's it so members I question go ahead no go ahead um I think you answered some of my questions but to just recap and say frankly it sounds like it's not a matter of access it's a matter of buying teachers who are willing to do these the tel endorsement am I speaking correctly correctly okay so it makes me really curious and sad about what the barrier is for having teacher buy in for something that is obviously going to be helpful for our students
039and I think we've addressed that in our strategic plan right so that means by next school year we'll have to make it part of our okay yes for for this year uh we have some limitations but that means we have a leverage as far as how we can have buy it okay so on the radar yes and we are going to use that leverage and that leverage includes um reviewing of our performance as well as uh you know carrot and steak basically you know I mean we have to show we have to show Improvement but because you're doing it see we have this for you so it's it's a support measure for our staff to get total Buy in yeah so so it was always a Buy in up to this point but the way
040um board and the school leadership are working on the Strategic plan it can be Mand we're G have to do it just have to so right now it's it's like you want to get some money but literally we do have to take itly because um the state won't allow us to and our our strategic plan says that we we want to be a spotlight and it takes Tel endorsement at the very least to bring us to the spotlight so it's a nonnegotiable for this my mind on that strategic okay thank you miss one more thing sorry um again you know I do you know need to like says you know what is the barrier that's keeping them from that and hopefully you know Administration you guys can figure that out and we can get them
041to to buy in because it is for the students yes and then the other thing you you talked or Dr Kam talked about the lead teachers so I was wondering do we have level three teachers that um would be able to assist and you I know they have to do extras but I don't know if we have any we have a couple we have a couple of level three and so even that we want to also um Dr K and and the leadership team talked about not just the tel endorsement but what are the things do our teachers need as well as far as just like that um the t-o endorsement we talked about how do we get our level three you know to even bump them up as far as um they should be
042like our teacher leaders they could be the teacher leaders of the building and then how do we help those new ones coming in with the level one how do we now so we're talking about just growing our own just because no one out no one's going to come here and say guess what I I want to help your District we know that's to happen so we got to do it in ourselves and so the buying part too is just really getting our teachers to understand why is why this is important I mean at some point it can't be um do I really want to do this or no it has to happen it has to happen and so anyhow um it's just that school culture that we're also working on as well to help them
043understand that this is this just has to happen thank you thank you okay going on down to Mr [Music] sorry my computer went but I do um I did see the report and um I guess I didn't see anything as far as um I know the elementary does the high station and all that so Middle School are we testing right now High School are we testing and um so right now only testing that's occurring is the we tesed which relates back to students survey First District so St check right nowen right [Music] now met um we already we already completed our middle year I testing um the high school earlier um they did asbab with the 11th graders and as of right now there's nothing else coming up until April 11th graders e8th graders and
044fifth graders will take a mandatory science test and at that time two in April um the 3rd through 8th grad will take the massive our high stat test test and so those are coming up in yes and I believe you shared last January the bo M report yes any questioners I would like to add mad president that uh I'm going to compile all the schools data that um Mr um by March school board meeting we would be able to start reporting on the discipline again so um so we would be able to report on the discipline and incidents and we are going to be able to break it down as to the differ modalities of this issue and would you prefer to have it by grade level or by school level which one would help
045you we will try to create a school level and then a grade level breakdown what I did the last time and um and then some spending reports and so we are going to put this together and Cate all those School level reports so that by March we would be able to do a third quarter report on on um on uh discipline uh expenditure students recognition and and Community engagement so thank you for that uh uh I just told him to wait on it so that uh we can Cate all the schools rep put it in one okay was kind of missing attendance and so on and it's going to be then next month cor I would like to share with you on the 13th I travel to college with a credit ele class and so
046a couple things happened one our students have to see their their lab and how how it's set up and how they work um but the the main point of our students going there is that the University was was going through a the cre a promotional video for the program and so our students were the actors in The backdrop of the the sceny of uh of this thing that they're creating that they're going to push out you know to help promote the program within the state so it's going be really interesting that our students will be in that and they had a you know it's really neat to see them even though so they actually got to see these little lab spaces and got the where tool Bells they got to see some tools and use
047them and so they were there unscrewing wires running wires through walls and they were just very content everybody was in the best behavior we got positive behavior from from their main director of the program before we left um they they fed the students uh the pizza my pizza and after that the the university itself we got a little tour of it and at the same time the University was holding in their in their Pavilion area that's not the right word inside the the main roundhouse part of the building they have different booths set up dealing for students talk about financial aid different programs that the university had you know for students and so there was probably about eight different tables that the students got to go through to ask questions and you know get Pi
048up stuff like that they got turn the business office a student lounge and um it was it was a really good trip overall everyone I said was on the best behavior and I think everyone enjoyed themselves sure and how about if you want to invite the community tomorrow I believe we're going to have a a blood drive tomorrow right so we're going to have a black drive so to the community and people was listening at the other end I do want to say I believe that it's by appointment oh okay okay yes um our students are allowed to uh to donate 17 years old any below that and we're looking for a cool turnout the students that arey class they're going to get a shadow people as are getting stuck they don't they don't get
049to be there when they're doing background information such but when they're there get drawn part of that far as watching process we need to give them oranges after I hope nobody okay going on to the um want yes Mr Davis Madame President the members of the board um Mr Davis was not able to complete yet um has to take care of some family uh business and but um I did um uh share or um the schedules the bracket rather our current standing it was in my report our current standing of our basketball and we are going to have an well we have an a game today and if we win today we will be able to play on Friday and we are going to have a home game on Thursday and I believe regardless of

053concerns in these changes was jbps not getting proper funding with the family income index as the district did not qualify in previous years and the charter was the school who received the funds the change indeed would indeed cause a funding decrease for jbps of $57,000 however the state will be holding the district harmless thankfully we will not feel the negative impact in physical year 26 that is a good thing and if you have any questions or concerns any question questions no questions for tonight Madam president president I just want to see how am I going to oh explain that so this is the current result right now but it's l it was eight I don't know 8 minutes the score is 3635 and then fourth quarter it's 5455 54 a 54 home and 55 guest
