001OKAY. WE ARE GOING TO CALL INTO SESSION THE LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOL BOARD MEETING CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD AT 602 P.M. . I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT WE ARE MISSING DIRECT THEIR AIRD TONIGHT. SHE IS NOT ABLE TO JOIN US. AND JACOB STUCKEY IS NOT ABLE TO BE HERE. WE WILL GO INTO AGENDA ITEM 2.0. THE LEASE AGREEMENT APPROVAL, WHICH IS AN ACTION ITEM. YES, WE WILL HAVE THIS EVENING AND REQUEST FOR YOUR APPROVAL TO ALLOW STAFF TO EXECUTE A YEARS LONG. FOR A SPACE THAT WE NEED DO TO AN PROGRAM EXTENSION AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES. THIS WILL BE AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. AND SUMMARIZE THE MONTHLY RENTS , OVER $8600 A MONTH FOR THE FIRST YEAR. THERE'S A SMALL INSTALLATION EACH YEAR. IT WILL BE JUST OVER $9100 A MONTH. I
002CHECKED WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THEY REVIEWED THE LEASE AGREEMENT , AND ALSO ASKED IF I NEEDED A CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD APPROVAL BECAUSE THE POLICY WASN'T CLEAR . THE ANNUAL EXPENDITURE IS LESS THAN A $150,000. IT IS ROUGHLY 320,000. IS A MATTER OF CONSERVATIVE APPROACH TO NOT ASK FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD'S APPROVAL FOR -- THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE IN FRONT OF YOU THIS EVENING. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE LEASE AGREEMENT. I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU, ANY DISCUSSION? I THINK IT IS A FABULOUS LOCATION. THAT IS IN THE BP JOHN BUILDING. I LOVE ANY OF YOU REMEMBER IT, BUT IT IS BEAUTIFUL. THERE IS PARKING THERE. I THINK THEY WILL REALLY ENJOY BEING OVER THERE FOR THREE YEARS. WE WERE THINKING WE WOULD GO TO AFTER THREE YEARS. WHAT IS THE TENTATIVE
003PLAN? IS THERE ONE? WE WOULD NEED MORE SPACE TO BECOME AVAILABLE, ASSUMING ALL OF THE SCHEDULE PROCEEDS AS PLANNED. THIS IS AFTER THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IS OPEN IN 2026. THANK YOU. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS . WELL, HARMONY. THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS IN OVERVIEW, TOO. GREAT. IF THERE IS NOT ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, WE CAN CALL THE VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. WITH THAT, WE WILL ADJOURN THE CONTRACT REVIEW BOARD AT 6:05. WE WILL MOVE STRAIGHT INTO THE REGULAR SESSION SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. THAT IS AT 6:05, AS WELL. WELCOMING COMMENTS FROM PATRONS, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY WRITTEN TESTIMONY OR REQUEST FOR AND PRESENT TESTIMONY. WE WILL PROCEED TO AGENDA ITEM 3.0, THE CONSENT AGENDA. I MOVED TO CONFIRM IT AS PRESENTED. THANK YOU. I WILL
004SECOND THAT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES. GREAT. WE WILL MOVE INTO AGENDA ITEM 4.0, BOARD BUSINESS. THAT IS THE POLICY AND PROGRAM AGENDA, ITEM 4.1 . SUPERINTENDENTS UPDATE AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM. THANK YOU. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD , FIRST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS OUR RETIREES. WE HAVE 11 RETIREES THIS YEAR. --AT LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL, CHRIS AT LAKERIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL , LISA MITCHELL AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. JOHNSON AT OAK CREEK ELEMENTARY. -- AT OAK CREEK ELEMENTARY. THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR RETIREES. THANK YOU FOR THEIR DEDICATION OVER NUMEROUS YEARS. NEXT, I WANTED TO MENTION SUMMER SCHOOL, FOR ELEMENTARY, WE WILL BE HOLDING AN EXPLICIT ELEMENTARY READING PROGRAM IN THE MORNINGS FROM JULY 10th THROUGH THE 20th. EACH NIGHT, THERE WILL BE INSTRUCTION ON READING COMPREHENSION,
005VOCABULARY, AND SMALL READING GROUP ROTATIONS. THANKS TO THE STAFF , EMPLOYEES AND TEACHERS WHO HAVE GENEROUSLY GIVEN UP THEIR SUMMERTIME TO TEACH SOME SCHOOL HERE. AND THEN WITH THE LEGISLATIVE IMPASSE OVER NOW, WHICH IS COMPARED TO A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING WILL BE APPROVED WITHOUT THE NEED FOR SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO THE 10.3 THAT EVERYONE WAS ADVOCATING FOR IN THE COMMUNITY. AND IN THE ENTIRE STATE. WHILE WHO WILL BE AWAITING THE FORMAL ESTIMATES , THAT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE AT 10.2. INSTEAD OF THE $3.7 MILLION EACH YEAR , WE WILL HAVE TO STILL TAKE OUT THE 1 MILLION. THAT IS MUCH BETTER AND VERY DOABLE FOR US IN KEEPING OUR CURRENT STAFF THE WAY IT IS. WE ARE VERY EXCITED
006ABOUT THAT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING THAT ON IN WRITING. MODEL UPDATE IN AUGUST. THAT IS ASSUMING THAT WE RECEIVED THE MODEL NUMBERS SO THAT WE CAN DO THAT. RETURNING TO SCHOOL. THAT SEEMS KIND OF FUNNY TO TALK ABOUT. I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT STAFF WILL BE RETURNING TO SCHOOL, OR TO WORK, I SHOULD SAY. THE FIRST WEEK INCLUDES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, OUR ANNUAL DISTRICT RALLY, WHICH WILL HAPPEN AT LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR. THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR 1st THROUGH SIXTH GRADE , THAT WILL BE SEPTEMBER 5th. SEVENTH, EIGHTH, AND 10th THROUGH 12th START ON SEPTEMBER 6th. AS ALWAYS, KINDERGARTEN PARTS AFTER THE FIRST THREE DAYS. AND I THINK THE ASSISTANT WITH THE TEACHER AND THE STUDENTS. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A SECOND TO EXTEND MY GRATITUDE
007TO EVERYONE. ALL OF YOU INCLUDED. WE HAD A GREAT YEAR. IT WAS MORE LIKE HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO FEEL COMING OUT OF COVID. I HOPE THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'LL TALK ABOUT COVID, RIGHT NOW. I HOPE EVERYONE HAS EMPLOYEES, STAFF, STUDENTS, AND FAMILY HAVE TIME TOGETHER TO ADDRESS, RELAX, AND COME BACK TO SCHOOL NEXT YEAR READY TO LEARN. WE HAVE WORK TO DO. THANKS TO EVERYONE OUT THERE. THAT'S ALL I GOT. THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NOPE? OKAY. THANK YOU. WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 4.2, CULTURAL BELIEVE BEING -- [ INDISCERNIBLE - LOW VOLUME ] WE WILL SWAP OUT IN JUST A SECOND. GOOD EVENING, AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. TODAY, IN --WE WERE ALL MEMBERS OF THE CULTURAL BELONGING COMMITTEE. THIS EVENING, I HAVE OUR CHAIR HERE AND
008ONE OF OUR MEMBERS, CONNIE IS IN THE BACK, AS WELL. SHE IS PRESENTING THE COMMITTEE'S WORK AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOLLOWING THE CHARGE. WE WERE FOCUSING ON THE ON BOARDING PROGRAM FOR OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES FEEL, INCLUDED WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO ABBY. SHE'S GOT SOME SLIDES. THINK YOU GUYS FOR HAVING US. THIS AMAZING PRESENTATION WAS CREATED BY KEIRA. SHE IS ONE OF OUR STUDENTS WAS A PART OF THE COMMITTEE. WHO IS HERE. >> [ LAUGHTER ] KAREN, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME UP. THIS COMMITTEE WORKED REALLY HARD ON DIVING INTO WHAT THIS MEANT . YOU GUYS ASKED US TO CREATE A PLATFORM FOR THE COMMUNITY'S NEW STUDENT AND FAMILY ON BOARDING PROGRAM. IN THE NEXT FIVE, YOU CAN SEE WE CAME UP WITH AN IDEALIZATION OF WHAT
009THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE OVER THE COURSE OF FIVE YEARS. THAT IS LITTLE BIT TRICKY. WE HAVE MORE SLIDES THAN WHAT WE WILL PRESENT. WE KNOW YOU WERE GIVEN THESE EARLIER. A LOT OF THOUGHT WAS PUT INTO IT . WE KNOW THEY ARE VERY BIG ASKS. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THOSE ASKS MADE SENSE. WE WANTED TO BE VERY SPECIFIC. IF YOU COME BACK IN THREE YEARS AGO, IT IS NOT WORKING, YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT AND SEE WHAT DID WE MISS. AGAIN, THAT IS THE INTENTION. PLEASE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THESE ARE QUESTIONS WE ASKED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. LATER ON TOWARD THE END OF THE SLIDESHOW, THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED AN EMPATHY MAP. IT IS USED IN OTHER PROFESSIONAL GROUPS. WE USE THIS TO MAKE SURE EVERY RECOMMENDATION WE GET WILL CENTERED AROUND THE
010WHOLE PERSON AND AROUND THE WHOLE FAMILY. NOT JUST ONE PERSON'S LIVED EXPERIENCE. OUR FIRST ASK IS AN ON BOARDING SURVEY. THIS SERVES A COUPLE OF PURPOSES. OFTENTIMES, THEIR FAMILIES THAT ENTER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, NOT JUST THE BEGINNING. IN ORDER FOR US TO RE-EVALUATE , WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE AN ASSESSMENT PROCESS. AN ON BOARDING SURVEY MIGHT IDENTIFY THAT THERE IS A LANGUAGE BARRIER, A SPLIT FAMILY SITUATION, OR THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING OVERSEAS FOR A BIT LONGER. THIS ALSO ALLOWS US THROUGH THE YEAR THAT FAMILY IS REPORTING TO EITHER THEIR TEACHER OR THEIR PRINCIPAL THAT THEY ARE NOT REALLY WELCOME, OR STRUGGLING TO FIT IN. WE CAN BETTER IDENTIFY WITHOUT ASKING THEM GRILLING QUESTIONS WHAT WE MISSED. OFTENTIMES, IF YOU ARE FEELING LOST IN A NEW SCHOOL, THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS FOR
011SOMEONE TO ASK HOW THEY CAN FIX YOUR PROBLEM. THIS GIVES US AN ASSESSMENT TO KNOW WHAT ARE WE NOT ASSESSING. HOW ARE WE NOT MEETING THEIR NEEDS? THE NEXT ASK IS OUR VERY BIG ONE. THE REASON WE DID THIS, WE WENT BACK AND FORTH DISCUSSING THE FACT THAT IF WE PUT THE WEIGHT OF THIS ON PRE-EXISTING EMPLOYEES, WE WILL LACK CONTINUITY AND LACK THE PROGRESSION OF SUCCESS. IT WILL REALLY BE DEPENDENT ON WHO THOSE PRESIDENTS ARE , WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, AND HOW STRONG THE VOLUNTEER BASIS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A GENERAL FEELING IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF FINDING THAT YOU FIT IN THAN YOU DO AT --A BIG PART MIGHT BE THAT THEY'VE GOT A BIG KINDERGARTEN --SEEKING VOLUNTEER HOURS. ALSO POST-PANDEMIC, I AM SURE WE
012CAN OF SCARCE AND STRETCHED. IF THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO, WE WILL PROBABLY NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO THROW SOME MONEY AT IT. THAT PARTICULAR PERSON WOULD SERVE AS BASE FOR CONTINUITY, CONFIDENTIALITY OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION, AS WELL AS MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS A MAIN CONSISTENT POINT PERSON FOR THIS FEEDBACK PROCESS. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME ACROSS PRETTY CLEARLY THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO. YOU HEAR OFTEN ON THE SURVEYS THAT THEY FEEL THAT THEY GOT LOST, OR THEY REACHED OUT TO A PERSON BUT IT WAS THE WRONG PERSON. HOW DO WE PREVENT THAT? OUR SUGGESTION AND OUR ASK IS AN FTE. OUR THIRD ASK IS STEPPING UP ADDITIONAL MEETINGS. THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE ARE PROPOSING AS A
013COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE FTE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE PTOS, AND IN THIS ACTUAL COMMITTEE. OUR HOPE IS THAT THIS COMMITTEE WHO HAVE SIGNED ON FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR WILL BE COMMITTED TO CREATING SAFE SPACES HAVING HAD THESE HARD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO FEEL LIKE YOU BELONG. THEY WOULD BE THE IDEAL PEOPLE TO POST MEET UPS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PTOS. IF YOU HAVE A WEAK PTO AT ONE SCHOOL, BUT A STRONG ONE AT THE OTHER, IT WILL NOT BE DEPENDENT ON THAT. THAT ALLOWS FOR FAMILIES TO ENTER MIDYEAR TO HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO . IF YOU COME IN OCTOBER, YOU KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT, HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. THE OTHER ONE THAT WE ASK AT THE BOTTOM, THERE IS A PROTOCOL AND AN EXPECTATION OF
014EXTENDED PARENT CONFERENCES FOR NEW STUDENTS. THE REASON WE ARE ASKING FOR THIS, OFTENTIMES, WE END UP BEING REACTIVE RATHER THAN PROACTIVE. WE SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM. ANOTHER MEETING IS SCHEDULED BECAUSE A PROBLEM AROSE DURING THE NOT HELPFUL. IT IS NOT HELPFUL FOR A FAMILY TO HAVE TO ASK FOR THAT CONSTANTLY. IF WE KNOW WE'VE GOT A NEW FAMILY, WE KNOW THEY WILL NEED MORE TIME. IF THAT IS BUILT IN, AGAIN, WE ASK FOR THE DATA IN SUCH A SMALL NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO GET THIS PAID TIME FOR. IF IT WAS JUST AN EXPECTATION THAT YOU HAVE A NEW STUDENT IN YOUR CLASS, SO THEY GET AN ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES, AND THAT IS AN EXPECTATION, THAT PARENT DOESN'T LIKE THEY HAD TO ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES. THEY ARE ALREADY POTENTIALLY DROWNING TRYING
015TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADJUST. LEARNING FROM FAMILIES WHO HAVE BEEN HERE, IT IS SO MUCH INFORMATION WHILE YOU ARE ADJUSTING, YOU ARE STARTING A NEW JOB. YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. THAT IS OUR FOURTH ASK. OUR FIFTH ASK IS FOR A POSITION CALLED VOLUNTEER LESIONS. THE REASON WAS THE ARE ASKING THIS, THE ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUPPORT AT THE BOARD LEVEL SO THAT IT IS PRESENT IN ALL SCHOOLS, K-12. OFTENTIMES, THERE IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA THAT ARISES, AND IN THAT SCHOOL HAS IT AND THE OTHER SCHOOLS DON'T. THERE IS NO OVERSIGHT, THERE IS A LACK OF COMMUNICATIONS. IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD SAYS IS IMPORTANT TO THEM, THEN THEY COMMUNICATE THAT REALLY WELL TO THE PRINCIPALS, THE STAFF, THE VICE PRINCIPALS, THERE WILL BE GREATER SUCCESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR
016MAKING SURE THAT THESE POSITIONS EXIST AND THAT THEY CONNECT WITH THE FAMILIES, AS WELL. THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE SOMETHING. WE CALL THEM SCHOOL BUDDIES. AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL, IT WOULD BE A CONNECTION POINT FOR SADIE FIRST THREE MONTHS, BASED UPON WHAT WAS IN THAT SURVEY, THE ON BOARDING SURVEY THAT CAN MAYBE CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE TO HAVE DAUGHTER RAISED --THAT HAVE ALREADY RAISED THEIR HAND. IF NOT, THEY'RE GOING TO FALL AWAY, THEY WILL BE STRONG IN ONE SMALL AND WEAK AT ANOTHER SCHOOL. OUR COMMUNITY ALSO TALK A LOT ABOUT THE LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY. THIS IMPACTS HOW A FAMILY FEELS THAT THEY BELONG IN OUR COMMUNITY. IT SHOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT. WE SHOULD HAVE WAYS OF HAVING CHECKS AND BALANCES. IF IT COMES FROM YOUR GUYS , AND THERE IS A SCHOOL NOT DOING WELL, THAT IT
017WILL BE EASIER TO FIX. I HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD. WE DO HAVE SOMETHING WERE AT THESE HIGH SCHOOLS, ON BOARD FRESHMAN, WE TO HAVE THIS THING CALLED LINK CREW. RECENTLY IT IS LIKE THE PIERCE APPROVED -- PEER SUPPORT GROUP. WE DON'T GET COMMUNICATION FROM THE ADMIN OF WHO ARE THE NEW STUDENT. WE DON'T GET COMMUNICATION OF, OH, SHE IS THE BENEFIT FROM. THEN WE HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE FRESHMAN. WE WERE TWO MONTHS IN, PEOPLE ARE STILL COMING TO MEETINGS, BUT WE HAD NOTHING TO DO. AFTERWARDS, PEOPLE STOP COMING. BY THE END, IT WAS LIKE TWO OR THREE PEOPLE. MS. SANCHEZ TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT. SHE IS LEAVING, TOO. WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT YEAR. IF YOU DON'T GIVE US A TASK, THEN WE WON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, THEN PEOPLE
018GET BURNED OUT AND STOP COMING TO MEETINGS. I THINK IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO HAVE A CENTRALIZED PROTOCOL FOR HOW TO HANDLE STUFF LIKE THIS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP ACTUALLY GET TO HELP. THESE TYPES OF CONVERSATIONS ARE LOT OF WHAT LED US TO THE NEXT COUPLE SLIDES OF RECOMMENDATION. THIS FIRST ONE IS THE EMPATHY MET. WE HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION IN IT IN EACH CATEGORY. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU WILL SEE . WE PUT TOGETHER THE NEXT FOUR SLIDES BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IF WE JUST PUT OUT AN IDEA , OUR HOPE IS THAT YOU GUYS WILL SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. RIGHT? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO SET A FAMILY UP WELL BEFORE THE THURSDAY QUICK THIS IS CONSOLIDATED FROM PROBABLY A TWO PAGE LIST BASED UPON WHAT WAS
019THE MOST IMPORTANT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEXT SLIDE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE REALIZE THAT IS REALLY LACKING, WE DO A LOT OF PREP FOR WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY, WILL COME TO THE SCHOOL. THERE IS NOT A LOT OF FOLLOW-UP. I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR THREE MONTHS. THIS IS SUPER TRICKY. NOW YOU ARE READY FOR MORE INFORMATION, BUT NOT SURE WHERE TO GO BACK TO. OUR SUGGESTION IS NOT JUST ONLINE. THAT WE HAVE THESE ONLINE BUCKETS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAIN INTERFACE, IT WOULD SAY, I'M NEW HERE, 0 TO 3 MONTHS, THREE TO SIX MONTHS. EVEN IF THERE ARE REPEATED LINKS, YOU HAVE A BETTER RESPONSE BASED ON WHAT WE UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS MIGHT BE FOR THOSE PARTICULAR THINGS, RATHER THAN IT BEING ALL IN ONE SPOT. THE NEXT SLIDE IS KIND OF
020AN OVERVIEW FOR WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU WERE THINKING THROUGH. SOME OF THIS STUFF OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE FLESHED OUT BASED UPON INFORMATION WE GET BACK FROM YOU. WE HAD ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE MINUTES. WE DID TRAINING, AND THEN PUT THIS IN WHAT WE FEEL IS A PRETTY SENSIBLE MANNER, KNOWING THAT WE NEED MORE ACTUAL DATA TO DO A BETTER JOB AT THIS. WE HAVE SOME SURVEY INFORMATION, EITHER THEY WILL PULL FROM OTHER AREAS, AND/OR BASED UPON RECOMMENDATIONS WE CAN GET FROM GUYS . WE HAVE A WELCOME PACKET RECOMMENDATIONS FIVE, WHICH WE HOPE YOU LOOK LIKE --LOOK AT. THE LAST ONE HAS OUR ADDITIONAL BOARD ASKEDS. WHEN WE PUT THE WELCOME PACKET AND THE OTHER PIECES, OUR HOPE THAT IF IT COMES FROM YOU GUYS, IT WILL BE EASIER TO BE CONSISTENT ACROSS
021SCHOOLS. THAT IS A BIG PIECE OF FEEDBACK WE GOT. EXPERIENCING DIFFERENT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IS DIFFERENT BASED UPON THESE GREAT VOLUNTEERS DOING THEIR VERY BEST. I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A LINE THAT IS CONSISTENT NOTES AND OTHER THINGS AND SAY, BUT WE WANTED TO SAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS. WE HOPE THAT THIS CAUSE YOU GUYS TO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK THIS PAST YEAR. FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THIS REALLY THOUGHTFUL AND THOROUGH ON BOARDING PLAN. I WILL LET MY COLLEAGUES ASK QUESTIONS. I THINK WE HAVE FINALLY DONE THIS FOR. ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS AND YEARS. THESE ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO. YOU HAVE ITEMIZE THE PLEA. THANK YOU. YEAH. >> I WILL ECHO , THANKS FOR ALL OF THE GUYS WORK AND EFFORT. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.
022I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED. DIRECTION COMING FROM THE BOARD EQUALIZES THE EXECUTION ACROSS ALL SCHOOLS. I THINK THAT IS PIVOTAL. AS A BOARD, WE ARE ALL IN SUPPORT OF THAT NOTION. I WOULD JUST SAY IT, YOU KNOW, -- [ LAUGHTER ] >> VERY THOUGHTFUL GROUP. DR. SCHIELE, DR. WATSON, I THINK WE CAME UP WITH A LOT OF IDEAS. THEY WOULD GROUND US SOMETIMES AND SAY, YOU CAN DO THAT. OR, THAT'S TOO MUCH TO ASK. YOU KNOW, WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, I THINK YOU REALLY STRESSED HERE. WE NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CONSISTENT ACROSS THE DISTRICT , AND THEY CAN BE BUILT INTO THE FABRIC. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ASKING FOR A PERSON WHOSE JOB IT IS, OR AT LEAST A MAJOR PART OF THEIR JOB TO
023FOCUS THESE THINGS COLLECT THIS INFORMATION. I AGREE, IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT. WOULD D.C. IS THE NEXT STEPS THAT THE BOARD SHOULD DO? WHAT IS KIND OF THE AREA WE SHOULD TACKLE FIRST? I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS LEFT WITH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, IT WILL BE VERY EASY TO SAY WE CAN DO THIS OVER 12-18 MONTHS. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD TAKE THAT LONG. I THINK EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT, AND EVEN THE FTE, MANY OF THOSE PIECES COULD BE FOR THE SIX TO NINE MONTHS BEFORE WE GO BACK INTO A HIGHER CYCLE. I THINK MOST OF THIS IS LOGISTICS. WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION, A LOT OF THESE THINGS EXIST, BUT THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT POCKETS ON OUR WEBSITE. A NEW FAMILY REALLY SHOWS TO LOCATE THE THINGS IN A CONCISE MEMBER MANNER. MAKING SURE THE CONSISTENCY
024IS THERE, WHAT DOES WELCOME PACKETS LOOK LIKE. I DID HAVE THAT PAUSE OF, LIKE, THIS IS IN A HARD CONVERSATION FOR US TO DO. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE IN YOUR WELCOME PACKET. WOULD BE VERY SAD. I KNOW THIS COMMITTEE MOVES ON TO A NEW FALL IN THE FALL. A LOT OF THESE THINGS HAVEN'T BEEN ROLLED OUT. I FELT LIKE A LOT OF IT IS COMMUNICATION , SYSTEMIC PIECES. HONESTLY, A LOT OF WHAT ARE WE PRINTING, WHERE WE SPENDING OUR MONEY? EVERYONE IS DOING THESE THINGS, THEY ARE JUST NOT DOING IT THE SAME. THE ON BOARDING SURVEY, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE HARDEST THING. WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ISN'T WORKING. WE PUT A NUMBER OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE NEXT CATCH DIFFERENT GROUPINGS OF INFORMATION. CLICK ON THAT, CLICK YES, IT DROPS DOWN THE QUESTIONS. YOU
025KNOW, WE COULD DO ANOTHER SET OF SURVEYS. BECAUSE WE USE SURVEYS FOR SO MANY OTHER METHODS OF COMMUNICATION, WE HAD THIS QUESTION TWO, HOW WE COMMUNICATE AND THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE SUGGESTIONS. WE DO GET A LOT OF SURVEYS. GETS YOU INTO THE RHYTHM OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. THE SURVEY -- IT COULD BE LIKE A STRONGLY WORDED EMAIL, LIKE, PLEASE -- THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO FILL THOSE OUT. [ LAUGHTER ]. IS THE FIRST TIME I THINK SOMEONE HAS INTENTIONALLY PUT DOWN ALL THE STEPS THAT GO TOGETHER. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE WISE FOR US TO ASSUME THAT EVERY PARENT CLUB LEADER HAS READ THIS. IT COMES DOWN TO COMMUNICATION. YOU ARE RIGHT, IT WILL NOT TAKE 12-18 MONTHS. IT CAN JUST BE COMMUNICATION, GETTING GET TO THE CLUB LEADERS, GETTING GET TO THE PRINCIPLES.
026IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE. THEY KNOW EVERYBODY ELSE IS THINKING THEY START WORKING MORE COLLABORATIVELY. THANK YOU. THIS IS REALLY WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THE PROGRAM INSTITUTIONALIZED INTO THE DISTRICT. THAT IS KIND OF HOW WE ROLLED THE DIRECTORY SPOT. IT BECAME CLEAR THAT WE ARE ALL GOING TO A DIRECTORY SPOT. I FELT LIKE EVERYONE ALIGNED , AND COUNSEL MENTIONED THAT THEY SHARED THEIR DIRECTIONS. NOW WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. RIGHT? I FEEL LIKE THINGS LIKE THAT, IT MIGHT BE ROUGH FOR THE FALL, BUT WE WILL HAVE INFORMATION, THEN IT WILL BE MUCH BETTER FOR NEXT YEAR. THAT IS THAT FOUR YEAR ARCH, RIGHT? YEAH. IF YOU WANT ME TO MODERNIZE THE WEBSITE, I COULD PULL IN ALL LIGHTER --ALL NIGHTER. [ LAUGHTER ] WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? I
027WAS IN THIS COMMITTEE AS WELL. I GOT TO WATCH THE AMAZING PEOPLE WORK AT IT., WHAT YOU HAVE ASKED. PUTTING TOGETHER A SURVEY SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET OUT. IN MY HEAD, AND I'M THINKING ABOUT THE FIRST STEP, I'M THINKING THAT'S THE FIRST THAT. GOING THROUGH, LOOKING AT THE COUNCIL, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE PULLED EVERYTHING TOGETHER? WHAT THEY ARE DOING, FIND OUT IF THERE ARE DIFFERENCES, THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING, WE JUST HAVE TO KNOW THAT. I THINK I WOULD WANT TO JUST GET SOME INFORMATION. I LIKE THE IDEA OF GETTING THE SURVEY OUT. I THINK THE EXAMPLE SOMEONE USED , I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. THEIR CHILD HAD AN ALLERGY OR A MEDICAL EVENT. WE WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT JUST FROM REGISTRATION. SOMEONE HAD
028READ IT SOMEWHERE AND THE NURSE REACHED OUT TO SEA, HOW CAN I HELP? DO WE NEED TO PUT A PLAN IN PLACE? IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF THAT. THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO CATCH. SAYING, HOW CAN WE HELP YOU? THAT WAS KIND OF THE THING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME. I THINK WE CONSISTENTLY CAME BACK TO, HOW DO WE REMOVE THE WEIGHT ON THE NEW FAMILY FROM ADVOCATING FOR THEMSELVES? THAT IS ALREADY A BIG PART OF THE TRANSITION PIECE. HOW TO BE PROACTIVE AND CATCH THOSE NEEDS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN. THAT CHANGES HOW YOU FEEL. YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL LIKE YOU AREN'T SEEN, OR SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THIS, RIGHT? I THINK WE'LL HAVE THINGS THAT FELT LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE A LONG IS A HUGE PART OF IT. AND I THINK AS A PTO
029PRESIDENT, IF I GOT A MESSAGE FROM MY PRINCIPAL OR THE SUPERINTENDENT TO SAY, HEY, WE ARE SO EXCITED, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE THESE , I WOULD HONESTLY, AND THIS IS IN MY OPINION FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MUCH TURNOVER AND NEWER PEOPLE. JUST, HEY, THIS IS A HEADS UP, THIS IS THE EXPECTATION. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPENNESS AND RESPONSIVENESS. WE ARE ALL AWARE THAT COMMUNICATION IS WHAT THEY ARE ALL ASKING FOR. WHAT IF WE JUST HAVE A CENTRAL TEMPLATE? THAT WAY, YOU HAVE ALL THE ESSENTIALS? I WOULD LOVE TO ASKED SAMANTHA WHAT YOU THINK? I KNOW NOT TOO LONG AGO, YOU WERE A NEW STUDENT. WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE HAVING GONE TO THE NEW EXPERIENCE? I KNOW YOU WERE ALSO A NEW STUDENT, TOO. IT IS AMAZING THE
030WAY YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS, PLUS MANY OTHER THINGS. IT WAS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO MOVE HERE. I'M FROM VEGAS. IN MORE WAYS THAN NOT, IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. AT LEAST THE AREA I WAS FROM. I FELT LIKE AN OUTSIDER. BECAUSE I A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF FRESH GENERATION, I HAD TO ADVOCATE FOR MYSELF. I WAS LIKE 13. I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE A PART OF LO UNTIL I WAS ABOUT A JUNIOR. IT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT FOR ME. MY SISTER TO GET ACCOMMODATION UNTIL HER JUNIOR YEAR. PEOPLE WERE ASKING ME IF I WANTED TO BE IN ANY ASL CLASSES EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN SPEAKING ENGLISH FOR A LONG TIME NOW. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE RESOURCES UNTIL I HAD TO DO IT MYSELF. I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THE TIME AND
031THOUGHT. HOPEFULLY IS MUCH AS I DID. SAMANTHA, THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD WITH THE ON BOARDING SERVICE. PEOPLE LISTED AS RESPONSIBLE ADULTS AND GUARDIANS, THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES WHERE CHILDREN ARE ADVOCATING FOR THEMSELVES DIFFERENTLY. THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK THEIR NEEDS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. THAT WILL HELP US CATCH IT A LOT FASTER. YEAH. YOU KNOW, I'M CURIOUS . SAMANTHA, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIVED EXPERIENCE. I'M SURE YOU HAVE SHARED AMONG OTHER STUDENTS. IT IS VALUABLE TO US. WE ARE NOT AT THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM YET. [ LAUGHTER ] I AM CURIOUS WHAT OTHER DATA WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE? YOU MENTIONED NEEDING MORE DATA. I THINK THAT WAS AN INTERESTING THING. WE WERE FACED WITH A SCENARIO. WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT. WE KNOW PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING, WE KNOW
032THIS IS HAPPENING, WE'VE GOT TONS OF FACEBOOK COMMENTS THAT WE GO OFF OF. [ LAUGHTER ] >> WILL BE REALLY GREAT, AFTER THIS FIRST ROUND OF SURVEYS THAT WE GET, WHICH IS WHY REALLY PUSHED TO THIS THE SUMMER, I THOUGHT WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION. ESPECIALLY HAVE ANY TYPE OF SURVEY THAT GENERATES THIS INTO A DIFFERENT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AREA EVEN THOUGH THE SURVEY IS THE SAME, THAT DATA GETS POCKETED DIFFERENTLY. MY SUSPICION, THAT INFORMATION MIGHT LOOK VERY DIFFERENT. , ALSO IDEALLY LOVE TO DO ANOTHER SURVEY FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE NEW TO OUR DISTRICT AT THE END OF THE YEAR. I KNOW IT IS A LOT OF SURVEYS. I THINK IF WE ARE TRYING TO FIX THE SYSTEM, IT IS NOT A BAD IDEA THE FIRST TWO YEARS TO DO A BEGINNING
033OF THE YEAR ENTRY. AND THEN ENTER THE SCHOOL YEAR BUT SEPARATE FROM THESE. I THINK IF WE WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS, WE SHOULD DO IT IN OUR COMMUNITY. NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. I KNOW OBVIOUSLY, YOUTH TRUTH, I DIDN'T SEE ANY DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ON THE SURVEY REPORT THAT WE GOT. I KNOW THAT YOUTH TRUTH CALEXIT. IT DOES. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS SOMETHING WE COULD iPAD. ALSO FOR THE ON BOARDING SURVEY ALSO HAVE THE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. I KNOW IT IS A VERY -- COMMUNITY. OFTENTIMES, I DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT SOME FAMILIES ARE GOING THROUGH. IF WE CAN FIND, LIKE, A DEMOGRAPHIC OF PEOPLE WHO ARE OVERWHELMINGLY MORE THAN THE AVERAGE FEELING LIKE THEY ARE NOT
034BELONGING, MAYBE WE CAN TARGET THEM MORE SPECIFICALLY. RIGHT NOW, IT IS JUST FAMILIES IN GENERAL, OR NEW FAMILIES. YEAH. >> WE KNOW THERE IS ANOTHER CHARGE FOR NEXT YEAR. WE DID NOTICE IN THAT AND IN THIS PARTICULAR COMMUNITIES CONVERSATION, WE FELT THERE WERE A WHOLE BUNCH OF SUGGESTIONS THAT WE HAD GOT BUCKET IN THE PARKING LOT FOR FAMILIES THAT ARE READY LIVE HERE THAT ARE CONSISTENTLY REPORTING ONLY SURVEYS THAT THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO GO THEY BELONG. ALREADY IS TAKING THREE YEARS. I KNOW THAT'S NOT A PART OF NEXT YEAR'S CHARGE. I WOULD HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THE SCHOOL BOARD TO THINK ABOUT THAT. I DO THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THE COMMUNITY COULD DO VERY GOOD. THE SUGGESTIONS ARE REALLY STRONG. YEAH. THAT WAS ORIGINALLY --CULTURAL BELONGING, WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THOSE TWO THINGS YOU
035JUST SAID. WE NEED TO CAPTURE THAT. THAT IS REALLY WHERE PEOPLE ARE NOT FEELING BELONGING. I DON'T WANT TO DILUTE IT LIKE, YOU ARE NEW. THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES. I JUST HAD TO SAY THIS, BECAUSE I HOPE WE CAN PLUG IT IN SOMEWHERE. THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THAT YOU LOOK AT A MAP BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO A CONCERT, AND WE DON'T HAVE NOTED ON THE MAPS WHERE THE A.D.A. ENTRANCES ARE. A LOT OF THE TIMES, I STAND OUT SIDE, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. I WAIT TO SHOW PEOPLE, HEY, YOU NEED TO GO TO THE BACK. WHEREVER IT IS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SCHOOL MAP, IT'S NOT NOTED WELL. AGAIN, THIS DOESN'T FILL DISCHARGE, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT. THAT FEELS LIKE THEY COULD BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO HELP FOLKS
036FEEL MORE WELCOME HERE. THEY DO, I SAVED IT. [ LAUGHTER ] THOSE PIECES ARE NOT FOR THIS ONE AND ARE NOT FOR THE NEXT CHARGE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT BECOME A PART OF SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE. SO THOSE PIECES DON'T GET LOST. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I DO REMEMBER WHEN MY FAMILY WAS HERE, GETTING A CALL FROM THE FOUNDATION WELCOMING US. I REMEMBER BEING LIKE, OH, THAT WAS VERY NICE TO THAT PHONE CALL. SOMETIMES, EMAILS ARE ONLY PART OF IT. ALSO PICKING UP THE PHONE, TOO. HAVING THAT VOICE BEHIND THE PERSONAL STUFF SO THAT CAN REALLY HELP, TOO. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? THANK YOU AGAIN . THIS IS REALLY GREAT. WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING MORE ABOUT IT AT OUR SUMMER RETREAT NEXT MONTH. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. >> THANK
037YOU. [ LAUGHTER ] >> THAT'S GREAT. ALL RIGHT. GIVE ME ONE SECOND. MY COMPUTER OF COURSE WENT TO SLEEP. ALL RIGHT. WE ARE MOVING INTO RECOGNITION OF SERVICE. OUR OTHER WONDERFUL STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATIVE , SAMANTHA JARQUIN , SHE GRADUATED AND IS OFF TO COLLEGE , GOING TO UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA I JUST WANTED TO OPEN IT UP FOR ANY COMMENTS. COMMENTS AND RECOGNITION OF JUST HOW YOU CONTRIBUTED TO US THIS PAST YEAR. I WILL GO FIRST. OKAY. [ LAUGHTER ] I THINK YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING. JUST HEARING THAT YOU STRUGGLED COMING HERE, NOT FEELING WELCOME, THIS SEEMS SO CRAZY TO ME. NOW, YOU ARE LIKE THE STAPLE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. YOU'RE SO BRILLIANT, SMART, LOVABLE. EVERYONE LIKES YOU. PEOPLE ARE DRAWN TO YOU. I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO. I
038THINK YOU WILL BE ROCKING OUT. YOU ARE LIKE A MAGNET. EVERYONE WILL BE LIKE, OH, THERE SHE IS. THERE SAM. I HAVE ENJOYED SO MUCH GETTING TO KNOW YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE , WORKING HARD. EVERY TIME YOU OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH TO SAY SOMETHING, IT IS SO THOUGHTFUL, CARING . I'M GOING TO MISS YOU. THANK YOU. I WILL ALSO MISS YOU. I REALLY ENJOYED HAVING YOU ON BOARD. I THINK WHAT YOU SAID TONIGHT IT JUST --YOU JUST BROUGHT SO MUCH OF YOURSELF AND YOUR LIVED EXPERIENCES OF THE VOID. WHEN YOU CAME FROM . SOME VERY PERSONAL THING FOR YOU. IT IS VERY MEANINGFUL FOR US TO HEAR THINGS LIKE THAT. REALLY APPRECIATED HEARING THOSE. I LOVE GETTING TO KNOW YOU. I AM ALSO VERY EXCITED TO SEE ALL THE GREAT THINGS
039YOU WOULD DO. WE WILL MISS YOU A LOT. THANK YOU. I PARTICULARLY ENJOYED HAVING YOU ON THE BOARD AS ANOTHER FELLOW MEMBER FROM THE LAS VEGAS AREA. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO COME ACROSS A LOT OF THOSE IN YOUR LIFE. YOU KNOW, IT IS SO TRUE. YOU BRING YOUR PERSPECTIVE. THAT'S FABULOUS. I ALSO THINK YOU HAVE A CALM CONFIDENCE THAT IS REALLY, IT IS EMPOWERING, ENGAGING, AND IT'S WELCOMING. THERE IS A NATURAL INCLINATION TO LISTEN AND TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY. AS DR. SCHIELE POINTED OUT, YOU ARE VERY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS, YOU HAD GREAT VALUE WHEN YOU SPEAK. IT IS UNFORTUNATE YOU DIDN'T FIND YOURSELF AT A SCHOOL A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO BECAUSE, I WON'T HOLD THAT AGAINST YOU. SUPER PROUD OF YOU, SAM. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE, AS WITH EVERYONE ELSE, WHAT YOU
040GOING TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE. BEST OF LUCK, WE WILL MISS YOU. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US A SERVICE. I WANT TO THANK YOU, AS WELL. YOU TOLD US WHAT WE NEEDED TO HEAR. THAT IS REALLY WHAT WE EXPECT OF OUR STUDENTS WHO COME IN HERE. IT IS NOT AN EASY THING TO DO. IT TAKES A LOT OF CONFIDENCE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. CERTAINLY, WE APPRECIATE THAT A GREAT DEAL. I WOULD ASK ONE THING, MAYBE TWO OF YOU. THAT YOU MIGHT GIVE US AN UPDATE IN YOU ARE, AND WHAT THIS EXPERIENCE MEANT TO YOU. MAYBE IN 10 OR 15 YEARS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR COMMUNITY, YOU WILL SEND SOMETHING BACK. SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL STILL BE HERE. I THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE ON
041A SCHOOL BOARD DID FOR SOMEONE 15 OR 20 YEARS DOWN THE LINE. I JUST WANTED TO PLANT THE SEED WITH YOU NOW. YOU WOULD THINK OF IT PROBABLY WHEN YOU WERE 30 OR SO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING FOR SERVICE. [ LAUGHTER ] YEAH, SCHOOL BOARDS THE YOUNGER PEOPLE. PART OF THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING LAST, YOU CAN JUST SAY DITTO TO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAID. I WILL SAY, IN ADDITION, SAMANTHA, YOU JUST HAVE THE BRIGHTEST MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE. YOU KNOW, YOU ARE SO AUTHENTIC , SO SMART BOLD. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HAD YOU THIS PAST YEAR. HONESTLY. YOU SHARED SO MUCH OF YOURSELF WITH US. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. JUST WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST. KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE BEHIND YOU, SUPPORTING YOU FOR
042WHATEVER . YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO DROP US A LINE. IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING. WE ARE ALWAYS HERE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. DOES HAVE -- OH LOOK, A PLAQUE. >> THANK YOU. SHOULD WE GATHER AROUND SAMANTHA? [ INDISCERNIBLE - OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] OH WOW. OH YEAH, YEAH. [ INDISCERNIBLE -OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] [ LAUGHTER ] SMILE. YAY [ APPLAUSE ] THANK YOU. YOU GUYS FOR WELCOMING ME AND JACOB. I HAVE SOME PRETTY BIG SHOES TO FILL AFTER ALICIA AND EMILY. I JUST FELT REALLY HURT AND WELCOMED. IT REALLY HELPED ME GET OVER MY PUBLIC FEAR OF SPEAKING. I USED TO BE VERY SCARED TO SPEAK TO ADULTS AND PRESENTATION. NOW, IT DOESN'T REALLY BOTHER ME. YEAH, I REALLY HOPE TO STAY CONNECTED. REALLY HELP ME FIND MY PASSION TO HEAR OTHER PEOPLE
043OUT. I REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS THAT FOR ME. THANK YOU. WE WILL BE SMILING THE REST OF THE MEETING NOW. WE WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 4.4, OUR JUNETEENTH RESOLUTION. YESTERDAY WAS JUNETEENTH. FOR THE FIRST TIME, OUR CITY ACTUALLY HAD A WONDERFUL JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION. I KNOW DR. SCHIELE WAS THERE ALONG WITH DIRECTOR WALLIN, ME. I APOLOGIZE IF OTHERS IN THE ROOM WERE THERE, AS WELL. IT WAS QUITE A RAINY CELEBRATION, BUT A WONDERFUL CELEBRATION, AS WELL. [ LAUGHTER ] WITH THAT, YOU CAN READ THE RESOLUTION. WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRISONERS. SAMANTHA, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET US STARTED? SURE. WHEREAS JUNETEENTH COMMEMORATES TO 19th, 1865, WHEN SOLDIERS RODE INTO GALVESTON, TEXAS, WITH THE NEWS THAT THE CIVIL WAR HAD ENDED. SLAVERY HAD BEEN ABOLISHED THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES IN JANUARY THAT SAME YEAR.
044ALL SLAVES HAD BEEN FREED WITH PRESIDENT LINCOLN SIGNED THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, NEARLY THREE YEARS PRIOR AND WHEREAS JUNETEENTH, THE OLDEST KNOWN CELEBRATION OF THE ENDING OF SLAVERY IS ALSO KNOWN AS "JUNETEENTH INDEPENDENCE DAY, " "EMANCIPATION DAY," , EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION, AND FREEDOM DAY. WHEREAS SPONTANEOUS CELEBRATION ERUPTED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WHEN BLACK AMERICANS LEARNED OF THEIR FREEDOM, AND JUNETEENTH CONTINUE TO BE RECOGNIZED IN TEXAS, WITH MANY FORMER SLAVES AND DESCENDENTS MAKING AN ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE BACK TO GALVESTON ON THE STATE. WHEREAS THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF THE 1950s AND 1960S SAW A RESURGENCE OF INTEREST IN JUNETEENTH, ALONG WITH RENEWED COMMUNITY CELEBRATIONS OF THE DAY. AND E- WHEREAS OBSERVANCE OF JUNETEENTH SPREAD FROM TEXAS WHERE HE BECAME AN OFFICIAL STATE HOLIDAY IN 1980, TO THE NEIGHBORING STATES OF LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS AND AND CALIFORNIA WERE MANY BLACK TEXANS MIGRATED.
045WHEREAS ALTHOUGH THE JUNETEENTH TRADITION HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED --HAS DOCUMENTED CELEBRATIONS IN ORGAN DATING BACK TO 1860S, IT WAS REINTRODUCED IN 1945 BAHT OUR STATES MOTHER OF JUNETEENTH AND -- WAS RECOGNIZED STATEWIDE IN 2013 AND MADE AN OFFICIAL HOLIDAY FEDERALLY IN 2021. JUNETEENTH OFFERS US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE THE MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF BLACK PEOPLE THROUGHOUT OUR NATION'S HISTORY. ALSO PROVIDES US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT, TEACH, AND REFLECT ON THE COMPLEX HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. INCLUDING THE FACT THAT NOT ALL AMERICANS CELEBRATED THEIR INDEPENDENCE ON JULY 4th, 1776. THEREFORE IT BE RESOLVED THAT LAKE OSWEGO SCHOOL DISTRICT ENCOURAGES OUR DISTRICTS EMPLOYEES, STUDENTS, AND FAMILIES TO JOIN IN CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH , A DAY TO HONOR AND REFLECT ON THE SIGNIFICANT ROLE THAT AFRICAN-AMERICANS UNITED STATES. THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. I MAKE A
046MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. >> I WILL SECOND THE MOTION. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR BILLS. ANY DISCUSSION? I JUST ALSO WANTED TO MENTION THAT LAKE OSWEGO CELEBRATION , THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL MURAL UNVEILED. IT FEATURED OUR ONE AND ONLY MISSES WILLIE POINT SET . I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, GO OVER TO CITY HALL AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IT IS JUST THAT SHE MAY HAVE DRIVEN BY IT. STOPPING AND ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE IT CLOSE UP, IT IS REALLY WORTH IT. I THINK IT IS TITLED WILLIE'S DREAM? YEAH. YOU KNOW, I KNOW THE ARTS COUNCIL , IT WAS COMMISSIONED BY THEM. IT IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL. YEAH. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE . MOTION PASSES. WE WILL CONTINUE ON WITH AGENDA ITEM 4.5, 2021 BOND UPDATE . AN
047INFORMATIONAL ITEM, MR. VANDENBERG? GOOD EVENING I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SHOW YOU SOME THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO. THIS WILL ALSO INCLUDE SOME 2017 BOND PROGRAM PROJECTS THAT ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS. THEY ARE NEAR COMPLETION. THIS SLIDE TALKS ABOUT OUR TRACK AND FIELD. IT IS IN CONSTRUCTION AT LAKERIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL. IT IS A MULTIPURPOSE FIELD THAT WILL HAVE A LARGE SQUARE SHAPE ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELD THAT WILL ACCOMMODATE AN ARRAY OF DIFFERENT SPORTS. SOFTBALL, BASEBALL, SOCCER, LACROSSE , A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS. IT ALSO HAS TRACK AND FIELD AMENITIES , SHOTPUT, DISCUS. WE HAVE A 100 METER STRAIGHT, WHICH IS ACTUALLY SIX LANES, NOT EIGHT AS DESCRIBED HERE. 533 METER TRACK WITH LANES GOING AROUND THE ENTIRE PROJECT. RIGHT NOW, IT ALSO INCLUDES A NEW LANE PACKAGE. THE LIGHTS ARE IN, BACKSTOPS, HEART SCAPES
048AROUND FOR SPECTATORS IN GENERAL CIRCULATION. WE ARE ABOUT A MONTH AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AT THIS POINT. WE WILL BE READY TO START SCHOOL HOPEFULLY . THE GRASS WILL BE IN AT THAT POINT. SOME OF THE AREAS WITHIN THE RING ARE --THOSE WILL BE READY TO GO. IT IS MOVING ALONG QUITE WELL AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. FEEL FREE TO STOP ME AS I AM GOING IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. THE AQUATIC CENTER, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THIS, BUT WE ARE FILLING THE POOL. ARE WE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE? IT IS NOT. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE ESCALATING , STARTING WITH FOOTINGS ON DRY LAND SIDE. THE SITE EXCAVATION CONTINUES. SOME OF THE ROADS ARE GOING IN. IT IS GOING IN AROUND THE SITE, CONCURRING WITH THE NEW CONFIGURATION OF THE GOLF COURSE, WHICH WE
049MAY OR MAY NOT CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT. THE POOL NONETHELESS IS MOVING FORWARD. RIGHT NOW, THE ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE IS FALL OF 2024. MAY EVEN TO THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE MAKING OF TIME. WE HAD A PRETTY ROUGH START WITH THE WEATHER IN THE WINTERTIME. NEXT, LAKERIDGE HIGH SCHOOL OUTDOOR CTE PROJECT. IS A 2017 PROGRAM. YOU CAN SEE THE PHOTOS, I THINK THEY LOOK PRETTY CLOSE. YOU SEE SOME OF BOTH OF THOSE. THE PROJECT IS NEARING COMPLETION ACTUALLY. IT WILL TRADE ON FOR A LITTLE BIT. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE SMART FLOUR, WHICH IS A SOLAR ARRAY THAT IS ALSO A NICE TEACHING TOOL THAT YOU WILL SEE OUTSIDE OF THE OUTDOOR CLASSROOMS. IT IS SOMEWHERE IN THE OUTDOOR ARRAY. IS IT BLUE? A KIND OF WILL MOVE TRACK A
050LITTLE BIT, FOR MY UNDERSTANDING. IT WILL GENERATE AN INTENSE AMOUNT OF ENERGY, BUT IT WILL BE ENOUGH FOR US TO GET SOME DATA AND USE. THE GREENHOUSE IS NEARING COMPLETION. THE ROOF IS ON , SIDES ARE GOING ON. JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, HOW TALL IS THE SMART FLOWER? IT LOOKS MASSIVE. THAT IS A RENDERING. I THINK IT IS ABOUT 10 FOOT DIAMETER. I WAS THINKING PEOPLE WOULD COME FROM MILES AWAY TO SEE THE SMART FLOWER. FLOWER -- [ LAUGHTER ] THIS IS THE HIGH SCHOOL, SIMILAR SITUATION. THEY ARE CATCHING UP. THEY WERE ABOUT A MONTH AND I -- MONTH AND A HALF BEHIND. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE RENDERINGS AT THE BOTTOM LEFT. THE PROGRESS YOU MIGHT SEE WHEN YOU LEAVE TONIGHT OUTSIDE , THE UPPER CLASSROOM GOING TOGETHER. AND A SMART FLOWER WILL
051BE THERE, AS WELL. THIS ONE, YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO SCALE. THE THING THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU TOLD US WE WERE VISITING, IT WILL HAVE A IT WILL BE LIKE A CLASSROOM. IF YOU HAVE THE SAME THINGS AS A NORMAL CLASSROOM. TV, SPEAKERS, VARIOUS PLUG-INS FOR EQUIPMENT. KIND OF A WEATHER RESISTANT ENCLOSURE . I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. GREAT FOR AN OUTDOOR DANCE, DON'T YOU THINK? WE HAVE STARTED DESIGNING FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE WING RENOVATIONS. THESE ARE NOT ONLY RENOVATIONS OF OUR SCIENCE WINGS, BUT WE WILL BE RETHINKING HOW SCIENCE IS TAUGHT AND EXPERIENCED IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. WE HAVE HAD SOME REALLY EXCITING CONVERSATIONS ALREADY. WE'VE DONE A BUNCH OF TOURS OF LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL LABS. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT A DIGITAL TABLE. WE ARE ALSO ASKING
052OUR STAFF AND STUDENTS. THROUGH THIS, WE HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS ALREADY. WE'VE HIRED --AS OUR DESIGN TEAM. THEY HAVE GREAT EXPERIENCE ACROSS THE NATION IN BOTH K-12 EDUCATION, AS WELL AS HIGHER AID. SOME OF THE THINGS WE HAVE HEARD FROM STUDENTS, AS WELL AS STAFF TO THEIR EXISTING SPACES, YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS RELATED TO WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY. THIS PLACE IS NOT VERY ORGANIZED, THEY NEED MORE SUPPLIES, MODERN EQUIPMENT, THEY WANT A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS. ELECTRON MICROSCOPES, MORE WINDOWS. MORE AND BETTER SINKS. NEW FURNITURE. STOOLS FOR EVERYONE. ALL THESE THINGS RELATED TO THE EXISTING SPACES, WHICH WE ARE RENOVATING. COULD EVOLVE IN OUR SCIENCE BASIS. WE PULL THE STUDENTS. SOME INTERESTING THINGS THAT WE SAW FROM THE STUDENTS, YOU SEE THE LARGER WORDS IN THE BOTTOM
053TWO BOXES ARE ONES THAT THE STUDENTS KEPT REPEATING. WE ASKED THEM, WERE YOU PLANNING TO PURSUE A STEM DEGREE OR CAREER? 60% SAID, YES. 60% OF THE STUDENTS THAT RESPONDED. WE HOLD STUDENTS EXITING , BECOMING FRESHMEN, AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN. WE HAD A GREAT NUMBER OF RESPONSES. WE ALSO ASKED, WHICH FILLED WITH A INTERESTED IN? YOU CAN SEE ENGINEERING COMES TO THE FRONT. MEDICAL, SCIENCE, COMPUTERS, BIO MADE. YOU SEE ALL TYPES OF THINGS THAT THE STUDENTS ARE PICKING UP ON. WHAT SCIENCE COURSES DO YOU WANT TO SEE OFFERED? THIS ONE IS INTERESTING TO MUSK FOR THAT. THERE IS A LOT OF EXCITEMENT AROUND ASTRONOMY, PHYSICS, MEDICAL. WE WILL KEEP TOYING WITH THIS THROUGHOUT SUMMER. COMING UP WITH IDEAS. WE WILL BUILD AN OBSERVATORY? IT WOULD BE PRETTY NEAT. THIS IS JUST STARTING. WE WILL HAVE
054MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF COMES BACK. MORE POOLS WITH STUDENTS. THE GOAL IS TO CREATE SOMEWHAT CONVERTIBLE SPACES WITHIN OUR EXISTING FOOTPRINT. WE WILL NOT BE ADDING AN ADDITION AT THIS POINT. THIS CAN BE TRICKY WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE WILL HOLD. RIVER GROVE REPLACEMENT IS TAKING SHAPE. WE HAVE THE ROOF STRUCTURE GOING IN. FRAMING HAS BEEN MOVING FORWARD RAPIDLY. THAT IS HAPPENING AS WELL ON THE NEXT PAGE. YOU SEE PHOTOS AND -- THIS IS IN THE MIDDLE PHOTO. THOSE ARE ACTUALLY WALLS. THEY ARE MADE UP OF CONCRETE. THEY POUR THEM IN PLACE ON THE EXISTING SLATS, THEN HOIST THEM INTO PLACE. WE WILL SEE GREAT TRANSFORMATION IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. CANNOT ASK FOR RIVER GROVE, IF YOU GO BACK AND SLIDE, IS THERE ACCESS TO THE ROOF? TALKING ABOUT US DOMINE
055--ASTRONOMY? THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL FILLED IN THE BACK. IF IT IS SOMETHING WITH THE JUNIOR HIGH COMING INTO, YOU KIND OF WANT TO BE ABOVE THE LIGHTS. I'M JUST THINKING AHEAD. THERE ARE A LOT OF DIGITAL OPPORTUNITIES, AS WELL. THAT IS JUST NOT QUITE THE SAME. A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL PHOTOS. I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE NEAT THINGS WE'VE GOT GOING ON. RIVER GROVE IS OUR SECOND NEW BUILDING. IT IS ALSO A --FACILITY. THE BUILDING IS FULLY ELECTRIC. THERE IS NO FOSSIL FUEL COME INTO THE BUILDING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUR GENERATOR, WHICH IS A STANDBY GENERATOR. WE HAVE AN ARRAY ON THE ROOF THAT IS PART OF THE BASE CONTRACT. 10% OF OUR ANNUAL CONSUMPTION. REMEMBER, THIS IS 100% ELECTRIC THAT IS WHAT WE RELY ON FOR ENERGY. THAT
056IS AS WELL AS ONGOING FURTHER REDUCTIONS IN OUR CO2 EMISSIONS. THAT WILL BE OFFSET BY PGE, OUR PARTNER, AS WELL AS UTILITY THAT WILL CONTINUE TO REACH THEIR GOAL OF TRANSITIONING TO RENEWABLES. AS THEY DO THAT, IT WILL FURTHER INCREASE OUR SUSTAINABLE FOOTPRINT. THIS IS ALSO PART OF THIS BUILDING, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN OTHERS. THE BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM. THIS IS THE EMERGING TECHNOLOGY. WE HAVE THE GIANT BANK OF BATTERIES THAT WE ARE PLACING AT THIS FACILITY. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO STORE ENERGY FROM NOT ONLY THE GRID, BUT OUR PANELS ON THE ROOF, OR THE GENERATOR, AND PROVIDE ENERGY TO THE BUILDING IN HIGH PEAK DEMAND TIMES, AS WELL AS OFF-PEAK ENERGY INTO THE GRID. IT IS A NUMBER OF VERY SMART THINGS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICITY. IT WILL REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION DURING THE
057HIGH PEAK HOURS. IT WILL ALSO SMOOTH OUT OUR ELECTRIC BILLS. HE GETS MORE EXPENSIVE AS THE DEMAND INCREASES. THIS WILL HELP WITH ALL OF THAT. IT IS A VERY INTERESTING CONCEPT, ONE THAT IS EMERGING AND NEW. THEY DON'T MAKE BETTER IS NECESSARILY FOR A BUILDING LIKE THE SIZE TYPICALLY THEY ARE USUALLY REALLY LARGER REALLY SMALL AREA WE ARE KIND OF IN THIS AREA TRANSITIONING WITH THE BUILDING OF THIS SIZE. WE ARE VERY CURIOUS TO SEE HOW IT WILL RESPOND. THIS IS SIMILAR TO NITRIC MIDDLE SCHOOL . THIS WILL PROVIDE VENTILATION FOR BUILDINGS . WITH THAT, IN EACH OF THE SPACES, WE HAVE WHAT ARE CALLED FAN BOXES. THEY WOULD PROVIDE THE ELECTRIC HEAT , OR COLD TEMPERATURES . WE CONSIDER IT SENSIBLE COOLING . THIS IS OUR CONDITION. YOU CAN SET IT TO 60 DEGREES
058AND EXPECTED TO REMAIN 60 DEGREES. IT IS SENSIBLE IN THAT IT WILL BRING COLD WATER TO THE BOX AND DEVELOP COOLER AIR. IT WON'T BE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF. WE WILL HAVE CLASSROOMS THAT ARE 79 DEGREES, OR 80 DEGREES. IT IS A VERY EFFICIENT SYSTEM. VERY MUCH ALIGNED WITH OUR GOALS. WE STILL CERTAINLY ACHIEVE THAT WHILE BEING ABLE TO BRING IN COOLING. WILL ALSO RELY ON THE BUILDING ENVELOPE. THOSE SYSTEMS ONLY WORK WHEN YOU HAVE A BUILDING THAT IS BUILT LIKE THIS ONE. CAN YOU QUANTIFY IF IT'S 85 OUTSIDE WHAT IS THE OFFSET? THIS WILL BE THE ROUNDABOUT ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. IT WOULD ALSO DEPEND ON HOW THEY ARE BEHAVING IN THOSE SPACES. I'LL MEAN JUMPING AROUND AND DOING THINGS LIKE THAT. WHETHER OR NOT THE SHADES ARE BEING USED ARE UTILIZED,
059THEY ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT IT IS TELLING THEM TO DO. THEY WILL TELL YOU, YOU SHOULD OPEN YOUR WINDOW. IT IS REALLY NICE OUTSIDE. THEN THE BUILDING WILL RESPOND MECHANICALLY. IF YOU OPEN IT, THE SYSTEM WILL HELP CIRCULATE THE AIR VERY MUCH TO THE BUILDING. THAT WILL BE NATURAL VENTILATION. WE ARE NOT RELYING ON THE SYSTEMS AT THAT POINT. WE LOSE LESS ENERGY. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SYSTEM. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. AND THAT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WITH THE SYSTEM APPROACH. IT WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE A COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE . 85 OR 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THANK YOU. >> IT IS NOT LIKE A -- DOES IT HAVE A LIQUID COOLED VAPOR? IT HAS AIR COOLING CHILLERS. WATER WILL CIRCULATE INTO THESE CHILLERS. THEY WILL
060COOL THE WATER. THE WATER WILL BE DELIVERED TO E-BOXES. IT WILL GO THROUGH THE COILS. THE AIR WILL CO-OPT --, COOLER. THE CONDITIONED AIR. I AM LOOKING AT THE DEFINITION. IT IS A VAPOR COMPRESSION SYSTEM. IT IS NOT REFRIGERATED. I THINK THAT IS THE -- OKAY. I CAN GO INTO MORE DETAIL. THAT'S FINE. THE TAKE AWAY, IF I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY, THE GOAL TO THESE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS TO MAKE THE SPACES INSIDE THE CLASSROOMS COMFORTABLE , LIVABLE, NOT OPPRESSIVE, ET CETERA. YES. [ LAUGHTER ] >> I THINK THAT'S CHEAP. WHILE ALSO BEING SUSTAINABLY MINDED , ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS, ET CETERA. IT IS SORT OF THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS, EVEN THOUGH NOT A TRADITIONAL SYSTEM THAT WE MIGHT OTHERWISE EXPECT. RIGHT. WE ARE DOING A STUDY. I SHOULD BRING THIS UP AT THIS POINT IN THE
061PRESENTATION. WE ARE DOING A STUDY AT ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. THEY HAVE IT, BEING REPLACED, OR -- THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN THAT. SOME DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF BECOMING TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS WITH THEIR EXISTING ELECTRICAL LOADS. REQUIRING A NEW SERVICE, THINGS LIKE THAT. IF YOU WERE TO PUT A SYSTEM VERY SIMILAR , THIS IS ONE OF OUR EXISTING SCHOOLS, OLD CREEK AS AN EXAMPLE, IT WOULD WORK. IT DOES NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH COOLING BASED ON THE ENVELOPE. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED WITH THE 2017 RENOVATIONS. ISOLATION, BETTER WINDOWS, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. IT IS STILL NOT ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE BECAUSE IT IS AN OLDER BUILDING. A VERY NICE BUILDING, BUT WE HAVE TO TAKE A DIFFERENT APPROACH. THIS STUDY, I WILL COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT. WILL PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON
062WILL BE DUE MOVING FORWARD ON SOME OF OUR OTHER SCHOOLS. I THINK THE LAST POINT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTENING, AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW NOW, MAYBE IN A FUTURE PRESENTATION, BUT CAN YOU QUANTIFY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COST OF A TRADITIONAL SYSTEM TO COOL THE RIVER GROWTH BUILDING, AS PLANNED? VERSUS THE EXPECTED COSTS WITH THE SYSTEM? YES. MOST LIKELY. WOULD YOU BE SO KIND TO DO THAT AT A FUTURE POINT? I CAN CERTAINLY TRY, YES. PART OF WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT WITH THE ANTICIPATED ENERGY CONSUMPTION BE DURING THOSE HOT MONTHS. OUR HOT WEEKS, I SHOULD SAY. AND THAT THE FINISH OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IS USUALLY WHEN THEY CAN GO FORWARD APPROXIMATELY. OR COULD POTENTIALLY GET BEYOND THE COMFORT LEVEL. WE WILL QUANTIFY ALL OF THAT FOR EACH OF THE SYSTEMS BASED ON THE
063APPROACH WE'RE LOOKING AT. WE MAY LOOK AT SCALING SOME SCHOOLS, AS WELL. WE MIGHT TAKE AN APPROACH LIKE THAT. I THINK JUST THE PERSONAL CONTACT, THE POINT OF THE QUESTION IS TO CREATE AN UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHY SUSTAINABILITY ASIDE, OBVIOUSLY A DRIVING FACTOR. PUTTING IN A TRADITIONAL SYSTEM TO AIR CONDITIONING BUILDING OF THE SIZE, BUT IS USED DURING THOSE PERIODS. I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT BEING DRIVEN BY SUSTAINABILITY. THAT IS IF THAT'S CORRECT. ABSOLUTELY. THE ONGOING COST, MAINTENANCE, PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE , UNDERSTANDING THE SYSTEMS AND HOW THEY OPERATE. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT COST. KIND OF THE SURPRISE WE HAD OF HOT WEATHER. SOME OF THEM ARE STILL IN HOT WEATHER MODE. OUR TEAMS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO QUICK ENOUGH. AFTER HE GETS WARM OUT, WHEN THE
064SUN STARTS ADJUSTMENTS THAT WERE MADE. WITHOUT IT WAS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AND WE HAD WEATHER ABOVE 85 ON SUNDAYS. STILL WARM IN SOME CLASSROOMS, MUCH BETTER WHEN EVERYONE IS PARTICIPATING AND WE ARE DOING NOT FLUSHING, THINGS LIKE THAT. NEXT , PLEASE. WE ARE TEARING IT UP RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE BEEN FOR A FEW WEEKS. THERE'S TO BE A GIANT BOILER IN THERE. NOW THERE IS AN EMPTY GARAGE. WE ARE BRINGING IN A NEW SYSTEM, SO NEW HEATING PLANT PREPARATION FOR OUR FUTURE PHASES. THE FIRST ONE INCLUDES A BRAND-NEW KITCHEN, SO FULLY OPERATIONAL KITCHEN . WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I MENTIONED A NEW ELECTRICAL SERVICE WOULD BE COMING TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE EXPANSION POLICIES. WE ARE PLANNING FOR POTENTIALLY AN ADDITIONAL LINK TO BE ADDED. THE BOILERS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE EXPANSION.
065NEW FURNITURE , YOU MAY RECALL WE GOT NEW CLASSROOM FURNITURE EARLIER THIS YEAR. SEISMIC UPGRADES INCREMENTAL AROUND THE BUILDING. BRINGING A NATIVE GARDEN THAT OUR PARENTS HELPED US DESIGN. THEY ACTUALLY BROUGHT THE DESIGN TO US AND FOUND CONTRACTORS THAT CAN BRING THESE NEW PLANTS. WE WILL HAVE THIS AT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. WILL HAVE A SMALL BLANK SPACE, AS WELL. IT IS KIND OF EXCLUSIVE TO THIS SCHOOL. SOMETHING WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT AND OUR PARENTS ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT. THEY HAVE A TRADITIONAL GARDEN WE WILL SEE THAT. ALSO, PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. THIS IS SOME EQUIPMENT THAT CAN HURT PEOPLE . WE ARE GOING TO FIX THAT AND CHANGE THAT. ACCESSIBLE EQUIPMENT, AS WELL. YOU MENTIONED THERE WAS A NEW WING BEING ADDED? POTENTIALLY, YES. SHOULD THE SCHOOL CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND GROW , FIRST
066-- WE WILL BE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. SIMILAR TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THIS IS THE MASTER PLAN WE'VE DONE THAT WILL SHOW THE LOCATION FOR THE ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM. LIKE THAT. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE JUST MAKING A COMBINATION AS WE PROGRESS THE NEXT TWO YEARS. THEN WE WILL MAKE THE DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO EXPAND IF WE WERE TO DO THAT, THAT WOULD BE A PART OF SUBSEQUENT BONDS? THIS WOULD LIKELY BE TARGETED FOR THE PROGRAM. THAT IS DEPENDING ON THE GROWTH OF THE SCHOOL. SURE. THIS IS PHASE ONE, PHASE TWO WILL HAPPEN NEXT SUMMER. THIS WILL INCLUDE DOMESTIC WATER REPLACEMENT THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL. THE VENTILATORS, NEW SIBLINGS. NEW TECHNOLOGY. THIS SCHOOL HAS TECHNOLOGY, BUT THERE COULD BE SOME UPGRADES THAT WE DO. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS. HERE ARE SOME OF OUR PLANNED OPERATIONS
067, THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. SPACE NET , THEY CALL IT. KIDS LOVE THEM. THE GET ABOUT 40 KIDS ON THERE. SOME OF THESE AREAS, THEY WILL HAVE A RUBBER SURFACE, ACCESSIBLE OUT TO THE SPACES . WE FOUND THAT SOME OF OUR STUDENTS , THEY MAY BE IN WHEELCHAIRS, MOBILITY ISSUES. THEY LOVE TO GO OUT IN THE FIELD AND PLAYED. GETTING AROUND SOME OF THIS EQUIPMENT. WE HAVE A NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL COMING. THE LAKE OSWEGO MIDDLE SCHOOL REPLACEMENT, SOME NEWER RENDERINGS. THEY ARE NOT REAL, BUT THEY LOOK PRETTY REAL IF YOU ASK ME. THE ONE AT THE BOTTOM LEFT IS THE COMMENTS AREA. YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE LEARNING STAIRS. IT IS KIND OF ADJACENT , FACING THE PLATFORM AND PERFORMING ARTS STAGE. THIS WOULD BE THE AREA WHERE THEY HAVE LUNCH, THEY CONGREGATE IN THE MORNING
068IN THE AFTERNOON SAYS THEY ARE WAITING FOR CLASSES TO BEGIN. THE TOP RIGHT IS THE DAWNING --LEARNING COURTYARD. THE BOTTOM IS THE ENTRY OF THE BUILDING. WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR LAND-USE PROCESS AND WE WERE APPROVED TO PROCEED. WE WILL HAVE OUR FINAL THINGS APPROVED NEXT WEEK , DO TO THE HOLIDAY. WE ANTICIPATE WE WILL BE ABLE TO PROCEED WITH PERMITTING AT THAT POINT. THE GENERAL BUILDING PERMIT. SO THAT'S DONE. WE HAVE PREQUALIFIED GENERAL CONTACTORS . WE HAVE A LIST OF CONTRACTORS THAT WILL BEFITTING THE PROJECT, ALL OF WHICH HAVE SPECIALIZED K-12 EXPERIENCE. THE PROJECT HAS BEEN AWARDED TO A CONTRACTOR, SO THEY NEED TO -- THEY WILL ACCOMMODATE THE SCHOOL GETTING REPLACED. THE BUILDING IS ANTICIPATED TO OPEN IN '26. RIGHT NOW, THIS IS WHAT THE SCHEDULE LOOKS LIKE SO IF WE ARE MOVING INTO
069RIVER GROVE AT THE END OF -- END INTO -- 24-25? YEAH. THEN YOU WOULD DO THE DEMOLITION NEXT SUMMER? THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE ON BOARD THIS FALL. I HIRED THE CONTRACTOR THIS FALL. THEY WILL COME ON BOARD. THEY MAY MOBILIZE PRIOR TO THE END OF SCHOOL YEAR. ANY GROUND IMPROVEMENTS THE NEED TO OCCUR ON THIS SITE, THEY NEED TO BE DESIGNED IMMEDIATELY. IT IS A THREE MONTH PROCESS TO YOU THROUGH THAT. AND THEN THAT IS ON TOP OF WHAT WE WILL BE REVIEWING WITH THE CITY ALREADY. THEY ARE CALLED GRANULAR PEERS. GRAVEL INTO THE GROUND TO CREATE COLUMNS THAT PEOPLE SET ON. THANK YOU, LAKE OSWEGO. FULL OF SURPRISES. THIS IS ONE THAT WE ANTICIPATED. THE IMPROVEMENTS WILL TAKE SOME TIME. WE ANTICIPATE WITH THE FLOW OF THE WORK, DEMOLITION, AND GROUND IMPROVEMENTS, THIS IS
070AHEAD OF DEMOLITION. THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS. HOPEFULLY WE CAN BE IN SOME DRIER WEATHER. A FEW MORE RENDERING S OF SOME OF THE SPACES UP ABOVE. YOU SEE THE SECOND STORY JUST OUTSIDE OF THE LIBRARY. YOU CAN SEE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE. [ LAUGHTER ] SOME OF THE CIRCULATION SPACES, YOU SEE SOMEONE WITH THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING, SOME OF THE MATTED COLORS THAT POP OUT. ON THE NEXT PAGE, I SOME OF THE FEATURES. THE BUILDING IS SEPARATED INTO TWO DIFFERENT SPACES. WE HAVE EDUCATIONAL SPACES, THEN WE HAVE THE LAB SPACES IN BETWEEN, THE BRIDGE, AND IN THE LIBRARY. ON THE SOUTHERN END, WE HAVE OUR GYMS, MUSIC, THE COMMENTS KITCHEN. ACROSS THE BOTTOM OR THE TOP, LIBRARY OR GENERAL CIRCULATION INTO THE CLASSROOM LANES, WHICH IS A TWO STORY
071STRUCTURE. THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED TO SEISMIC LEVEL FOUR, MEETING OCCUPANCY. WE HAVE A PASSIVE HVAC SYSTEM. VERY SIMILAR APPROACH TO LAKE RIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL HERE. WE HAVE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS IN SOME OF THE COMMON SPACES WITH THE VENTILATION. OCCUPANCY SENSORS . THIS PROJECT WILL PROBABLY BE OVER 300,000 DOLLARS IN INCENTIVES. THE AREAS ON THE NEXT PAGE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR RESILIENCY. WE GOT A BACKUP GENERATOR, AND THEN FOCUSED ON THE COMMON AREA SPACES TO PROVIDE POWER, AS WELL AS THE OFFICE AS A CENTRAL HUB FOR OPERATIONS IF WE HAVE A MAJOR CASCADING EVENT. ALLOWING FOR PEOPLE TO BE OCCUPIED. KITCHEN WILL BE OPERATIONAL. THIS IS AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES ON THE ROOTS. QUESTIONS? WE ARE DOING A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF. WE ARE REPLACING SOME CARPET, TOO. [ LAUGHTER ] WILL COLORS THE CARPET?
072IT IS NOT WHITE. IT IS A DARKER COLOR, VERY RESISTANT TO STAINS. SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAD. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT UPDATE. IT IS SO EXCITING EVERY TIME YOU COME HERE. WE SEE ALL THE PROGRESS , RENDERINGS, AND I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS SO MUCH APPRECIATION FOR THE CARE YOU TOOK IN THE HIGH SCHOOL. SOME OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECTS YOU DESCRIBED. REALLY SOLICITING STUDENT VOICE AND FEEDBACK INTO THE DESIGN PROCESS. I WANTED TO SEE , I KNOW WE'VE ALL ASKED QUESTIONS. SAMANTHA, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR THOUGHTS AS A STUDENT WHO HAS BEEN IN OUR BUILDINGS? EXPERIENCING THEM THEY TODAY? THAT IS A REALLY NICE MIDDLE SCHOOL. [ LAUGHTER ] SMACKED IT LOOKS NICER THAN SOME OF THE COLLEGES I HAVE SEEN. THE LIBRARY IS SO PRETTY. I REALLY LIKE THAT
073YOU GUYS ARE HAVING THE WINDOWS. I KNOW IN OREGON, PEOPLE --WITH THE SEASON. EVEN IF IT IS CLOUDY. JUST WORKING ON THE COMFORTABILITY. I REMEMBER IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, SOMEBODY PULLED A PRANK LEAVING THE WINDOWS OPEN, IT WAS PRETTY BAD. I'M GLAD WE ARE FIXING THE AIRFLOW. THANKS, SAMANTHA. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I AM REALLY GLAD YOU ARE MAXIMIZING THAT VIEW. THAT WILL BE INSPIRATIONAL IN A WAY THAT NO OTHER SCHOOL WILL GET THAT KIND OF INSPIRATION. WE ALL GET INSPIRED WHEN WE GO DOWN COUNTRY CLUB. YEAH. THE WEIGHT ABLE TO BEFORE, HE HAD TO BE ONE PLACE IN THE PARKING LOT. AND THE STAIRS UP TO THE ROOF. THE ASTRONOMY CLASS THEY'RE PUTTING IN. I DO KNOW SOME PEOPLE WHO GO TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AT NIGHT AND LOOK UP AT THE STARS.
074EVEN NOW. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL CONTINUE WITH OUR NEW ASTRONOMY OFFERINGS IN THE FUTURE. POTENTIAL. YEAH, POTENTIAL PERIODS [ LAUGHTER ] THANK YOU SO MUCH. NOW WE HAVE A SERIES OF DIFFERENT BUDGET ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. [ LAUGHTER ] >> MR. KETZLER, YOU CAN GET US STARTED WITH THE BUDGET ADOPTION , LOSD AND LAKE GROVE SWIM PARK. YES, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THAT IS HARD TO FOLLOW. EVERYONE RECOGNIZES THAT THE STEPS PROVIDE LEGAL SPENDING AUTHORITY FOR ALL THAT WORK TO TAKE PLACE. WHAT I HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU , FOR OUR FIRST ITEM RELATED TO BUDGETS, OUR '23 -'24 RESOLUTION TO ADOPT A BUDGET. THIS IS THE LAST STEP IN THE LEGAL BUDGET PROCESS. WE HAD OUR HEARING TWO WEEKS AGO. THAT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE LOOK AT LARGE. PROVIDING ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON THE BUDGET.
075WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED , ALL MY OFFICE HASN'T RECEIVED ANY. IN FRONT OF YOU NOW, WE HAVE THE RESOLUTION AND IN ALL MAJOR RESPECTS , APPROVING THE LEGAL BUDGET COMMITTEE WITH ONE NOTABLE EXCEPTION. THAT'S ON PAGE TWO OF THE DOCUMENT. I CALLED IT UP IN THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES. THE TRANSFER WAS APPROVED AT THE 625,000, BUT WE NEED THE APPROPRIATION THERE BECAUSE THIS IS REDUCING THE AMOUNT, OR THERE IS NO APPROPRIATE STEPS TO GO THROUGH AND ARRIVE A SMALLER AMOUNT. THAT IS ONE CHANGE FROM THE BUDGET THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE LEGAL BUDGET COMMITTEE. ALSO, I WANT TO POINT OUT ON PAGE ONE, WE HAVE AN INCORRECT DOLLAR AMOUNT LISTED IN THE LAST LINE OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH WHERE IT SAYS 27.3 MILLION, THAT ACTUALLY SHOULD BE 28.5 MILLION, WHICH IS THE AMOUNT THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED ON
076THE BOTTOM OF THAT PAGE. IN THE FINAL FORM OF THE RESOLUTION THAT WE HAVE SIGNED BY THE CHAIR. AND ATTESTED TO BY THE SUPERINTENDENT. WE WILL HAVE THE CORRECTION MADE. OTHERWISE, EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE HAVE IN OUR ADOPTED RESOLUTION IS THE SAME AS THE APPROVING RESOLUTION. WE PROVIDED A REAL BRIEF OVERVIEW AS TO HOW THAT RESOLUTION TIED BACK TO THE DETAILED MINTS THAT WE REVIEWED OVER THE COURSE OF THOSE ARE THE THINGS I WANTED TO CALL OUT. THE RESOLUTION FOR YOU THIS EVENING PERIODS I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DISTRICT AND SWIM PARK BUDGETS FOR '23-YEAR MAY 24th SCHOOL YEAR AS PER MR. KETZLER'S CORRECTION ON THE BUDGET AS PRESENTED. I WILL SECOND. THANK YOU. ANY DISCUSSION? NO? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ITEM THAT'S NEXT
077TWO ITEMS I HAVE ARE TWO SEPARATE RESOLUTIONS THAT RELATE TO BUDGET HOUSEKEEPING MATTERS. A BUDGET TRANSFER RESOLUTION RELATING TO MOVING THE SPENDING AUTHORITY WITHIN OUR GRANT FUND , AS WELL AS THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND. THIS IS JUST TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE CONDITIONS FROM THE TIME THAT THESE BUDGETS WERE FIRST PROPOSED AND APPROVED IN THE SPRING OF 2022. WE ARE SPENDING A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE INSTRUCTION SERVICES , THE SUPPORT SERVICES, AND IN THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND. AND LESS IN THE CONSTRUCTION SERVICES. [ INDISCERNIBLE -LOW VOLUME ] THIS WILL ATTEST TO THE UNDERLYING REASONS AS TO WHY THESE TRANSFERS ARE NEEDED FOR THE LARGER OF THE TWO CAPITAL PROJECTS PRIMARILY DO TO TECHNOLOGY DEVICES THAT WE WILL BE SPENDING MONEY'S ON THIS SPRING. THAT IS IN PREPARATION FOR OUR DEVICE REFRESH THAT WE ARE
078DOING. NOT ONLY FOR STUDENT DEVICES, BUT STAFF DEVICES, AS WELL. THIS IS A RESOLUTION IT DOES REQUIRE BOARD ACTION . THERE IS NO AUTHORITY AVAILABLE TO TRANSFER THE BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS BETWEEN THESE FUNCTION LEVELS. I WILL STOP THERE AND SEE IF THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE BUDGET TRANSFERS RESOLUTION WITHIN THE GRANTS FUNDS AND CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS AS PRESENTED. SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? NO? THAT WAS VERY CLEAR, THANK YOU. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. >> MOTION PASSES, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE ONE MORE RESOLUTION. THIS IS A SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET RESOLUTION. I WILL LET THE PREVIOUS RESOLUTION, WE ARE TRANSFERRING THE APPRECIATION OF AUTHORITY FROM ONE TO ANOTHER , THIS ONE IS TAKING ACCOUNT OF INCREASED RESOURCES THAT WERE NOT FOR CASTABLE AT THE TIME THAT THE BUDGETS WERE PROPOSED, APPROVED
079AND ADOPTED LAST SPRING OF 2022. THE GENERAL FUND IN THE SIGNING UP OF THE FINAL, AS WE REFER TO IT IN OUR BUSINESS MANAGER UNIVERSE , THE RECONCILIATION FOR '21-YEAR MAY 22 RESULTED IN MORE FUNDS BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OR THE STATE SCHOOL FUND . THERE WILL SEVERAL FACTORS THAT LED TO THAT. ONE WAS THAT THERE WERE MORE LOCAL REVENUES COLLECTED THROUGHOUT THE STATE AS A HOLE --AS A WHOLE. THE METHODOLOGY AND ADDING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FROM THAT '21-'22 FISCAL YEAR AND OUR TEACHER EXPERIENCE RATIO WAS FORECASTS LAST YEAR IN MAY OF '21, OR MATE OF '22 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. LESS THAN 0.6 OVER THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE. THE ACTUAL NUMBER CAME IN CLOSER TO 1.6. THAT RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR US. MY ESTIMATE AS TO HOW MUCH WE WOULD SPEND IN
080THE TRANSPORTATION COSTS WAS LOWER THAN WHAT THE FINAL NUMBER ACTUALLY CAME IN AT , PROVIDING ROUGHLY $200,000 ADDITIONALLY, AS WELL. THAT RESULTED IN AN INCREASE IN STATE RESOURCES , 2.75 MILLION THIS YEAR, WHICH I NEEDED IN THE PRIMARY INSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR THE INCREASED COSTS FOR PRIMARY SERVICES. THIS WOULD RESULT PRIMARILY OF THE MARKET AGREEMENTS THAT WERE APPROVED LAST JUNE. AND OUR TEXTBOOK ADOPTION, AS WELL. THAT IS FOR THE SECOND ONE THAT WAS MOST RECENTLY APPROVED. AND THEN THE ONES FOR THE SERVICES FUND . THE ASSISTANCE GRANT , THE SECOND ONE WE RECEIVED THIS FISCAL YEAR. THAT WAS NOT ANTICIPATED THE TIME THE BUDGET WAS APPROVED AND ADOPTED LAST SPRING. IT IS ANOTHER RESOLUTION THAT REQUIRES MORE ACTION FOR THESE AMOUNTS TO IS REFLECTED IN THE FINAL BUDGET. YOU ARE SAYING WE HAVE TO $.75 BILLION
081MORE THAN YOU THOUGHT ORIGINALLY? IS THAT RIGHT? HOW DOES THAT GOING INTO NEXT YEAR? DR. SCHIELE BRIEFLY SPOKE TO THIS IN HER REMARKS. THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, I HAD ORIGINALLY INTO HIS DATED THAT WE WOULD SPEND OVER THREE AND HAVE MILLION DOLLARS IN THE CURRENT BALANCE THIS YEAR. AS A RESULT OF THAT, I NOW ANTICIPATE THAT IT WILL BE LESS THAN $1 MILLION. THERE IS ONE LARGER BEARABLE AT PLAY THAT WILL BE A TINY DIFFERENCE. AND THAT IS FOLLOWING THE APPROVAL OF THE TEXTBOOK ADOPTION. EARLY IN THE PROCESS, WE HAD BEEN ADVISED THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SHIP THEM OUT TO US. THE EXPECTATION NOW, THE UPDATED SCHEDULE IS ROUGHLY HALF OF THOSE WILL ARRIVE BEFORE JUNE 30th. THE OTHER HALF WILL BE IN EARLY AUGUST. IF THAT HOLDS TRUE, WE WILL
082HAVE SOMEWHERE IN THAT LESS THAN $1 MILLION RANGE THAT ACTUALLY CAME LATER. IT WILL POSSIBLY BE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN $1 MILLION. THAT WILL BE JUST A TINY DIFFERENCE. WE WILL EXTEND THAT IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. THAT IS DEPENDING ON HOW WE DO TEXTBOOK ORDERS IN THE YEMEN 23-'24 FISCAL YEAR. WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO LATER ONCE WE GET INTO NEXT SPRING. WHAT THE TOTAL TEXTBOOK ADOPTION CALLS FOR THE NEXT CYCLE. WITH THAT WILL BE AND WHAT THE TIMING WOULD ALSO BE IN RELATION TO WHAT THEY WOULD BE. I INTERPRETED HIS COMMENTS THAT WE WENT FROM 9.9 TO 10.2. WE LEFT SOMEWHERE HALF 1 MILLION FROM THAT. IT SEEMS LIKE THOSE TWO ARE COMBINING FOR THAT AMOUNT. THAT IS IN RELATION TO THE NEXT TWO FISCAL YEARS. THIS ONE IS IN RELATION
083SOLELY TO THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. THAT'S GOOD NEWS. I'M JUST MAKING SURE, IT'S HARD TO TELL SOMETIMES. [ LAUGHTER ] HE SMILING NOW. I COULD MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET. SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. I KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORKED. HOW GREAT YOU ARE WITH THE FUNDS. YOU ARE VERY RESPONSIBLE STEWARD. IT IS NICE TO SEE SMILES. YES, ABSOLUTELY. WITH THAT, I WILL CALL THE NOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. OKAY. WILL MOVE ON TO AGENDA ITEM 4.9, OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER UPDATE AND INFORMATIONAL ITEM, DR. SCHIELE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. SRO PROGRAM UPDATE HIGHLIGHTING OUR STUDENT LISTENING SESSIONS AND STUDENT SURVEYS. FIRST, WE HAVE OUR LISTENING SESSIONS. AS WE SAID LAST YEAR, WE HAVE TWO READY
084TYPE SCHOOL. TWO IN THE FALL, TWO IN THE SPRING. ONE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL IN THE FALL, ONE AT LL HIGH SCHOOL IN THE FALL. WE DID FOCUS ON OUR GROUPS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT , INCLUDING OUR EQUITY COUNSEL, THE BLACK STUDENT UNION . THESE QUESTIONS WERE STUDENT DRIVEN. IN ADDITION TO THEM SHARING THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HAVING AN SRO THERE. THEY ALSO DISCUSSED THAT THEY ARE INTERESTED. THEY ASKED HIM TO EXPLAIN THE TRAINING THEY RECEIVED FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND HOW TO HELP STUDENTS IN MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND WRESTLE -- RACIAL BIAS, COMBATING RACIAL BIAS THEY SEE IN THEIR SCHOOLS. THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS THEY HAD IN THE FALL TIME. IN THE SPRINGTIME, THEY ACTUALLY GOT TO MEET THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS COUNCIL ,
085THEY DID HIRE A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SO THAT WHEN THERE IS A CALL TO POLICE, IF IT IS MORE MENTAL HEALTH BASED AND NEEDS THAT TYPE OF SUPPORT , THAT PERSON GETS TO GO AND MEET WITH THE PERSON THAT'S IN CRISES. THE STUDENTS DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE POLICE OFFICER AND HAVE THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS OFFICER. THEY ALSO NOTED THAT THAT IS VERY SIMILAR TO LIKE AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL VERSUS THE COUNSELOR. WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE STUDENT, AND WHO GOES TO TWO CUPS OF WORK. THE NEXT, WE ALSO DID AN SRO STUDENT FEEDBACK SURVEY, THAT SURVEY WENT OUT IN APRIL. WE COLLECT THE RESPONSES FOR 3 WEEKS. WE DID ASK DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS, WHICH IS WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE FROM LAST YEAR? AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAD 349 PEOPLE ANSWER THE SURVEY.
086WE HAD 66 STUDENTS IDENTIFIED AS PERSONS OF COLOR, 36 EMERGING AS BILINGUAL, 14 WITH FOOD AND SECURITIES, AND 13 WITH AN IP, OR KNOWN DISABILITY. THE LARGEST SUBGROUP OF STUDENTS WAS OUR 20 STUDENTS WERE IDENTIFIED NON-BINARY. 35% OF THEM REPORTED BEING EITHER UNSATISFIED OR EXTREMELY UNSATISFIED WITH THE PROGRAM. THE SUBGROUP WITH 116 MALES , 1.7% SATISFIED , OR EXTREMELY SATISFIED. OUR LARGEST GROUP IN ALL THE CATEGORIES, RELIGIOUS NO OPINION. PEOPLE, TO SET IN THE MINYAN AND SAID, I HAVE NO OPINION ABOUT THIS. THE NEXT SLIDE, MAJORITY OF BOTH GROUPS WITH HOW OFTEN THEY INTERACT WITH SRO, THE MAJORITY OF ALL GROUPS THAT THEY NEVER ARE ALMOST NEVER INTERACT WITH SRO. THE LARGEST GROUP WITH SOME INTERACTION , 35 STUDENTS WITH IEP'S. THEY REPORTED WEEKLY INSURRECTION AT 17%. WE ALSO HAD SOME THAT DESCRIBE INTERACTIONS, 58%
087OF THE HUNDRED AND 16 MALES REPORTED POSITIVE OR EXTREMELY POSITIVE INTERACTIONS, 35% OF THE 29 LIBRARY -- NON-BINARY STUDENTS . THE RESPONSE IN THE GROUPS, THEY NEVER INTERACTIVE. I WILL GIVE YOU A SECOND TO LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE. THE LAST QUESTION WAS ABOUT SEYMOUR UNLESS OF SRO'S. THEY SAID IT WAS CURRENTLY OF THE STUDENTS WITH FOOD AND HOME AND SECURITIES SAYING THAT THEY SEE SROS MORE OFTEN. 22% OF THE STUDENTS REPORTING HOME AND SECURITIES REPORTED THEY WANTED TO SEE THEM LESS OFTEN. THAT GROUP KIND OF SPLIT. LASTLY, WE GAVE THE STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO WRITE SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING THE PROGRAM. THE SUGGESTIONS THEY INCLUDED ARE HERE. INTERACTING MORE WITH STUDENTS, MORE OR LESS, SUGGESTING OF INTERACTING MORE, PARTICIPATING IN CLASSES AND ASSEMBLIES. THEY EACH HAD A PERSONAL CONTACT WITH THEM. AND USING SROS AS SUCH
088TWO TEACHERS, THE BRIEFING STUDENTS, HAVING ACTUAL SROS COME IN , PROMOTING THE PROGRAM MORE, HAVING ONE AT EVERY SCHOOL. CHANGED EVERYTHING, KIND OF CLOSING THE PROGRAM, STOP WORRYING FIREARMS, HIRE MORE DIVERSE SROS, HAVE THEM BE MORE FRIENDLY AND LESS SCARY. THOSE ARE THE THINGS PEOPLE WROTE IN. OUR NEXT STEPS, JUST AS WE SAID LAST YEAR WHEN WE AGREED TO HAVE THEM, THIS WILL BE SHARED WITH THE POLICE CHIEF. WE WILL LOOK FOR IMPROVEMENT AREAS FOR NEXT YEAR. JUST FROM LOOKING AT IT, I THINK IT IS REALLY CLEAR. THE STUDENT TO IDENTIFY NON-BINARY DEFINITELY HAD THE MOST DIVERSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SROS. THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD WANT THEM TO BE AWARE OF. TRYING TO BUILD UP THOSE RELATIONSHIPS MORE . THERE REALLY WEREN'T MANY THINGS THAT STOOD OUT THAT SURPRISED ME. SMACK WE CAN GET
089A COPY SO WE CAN DIGEST A LITTLE BETTER? YEAH. >> THANK YOU. THE ONE THING THAT OCCURS TO ME, GENDER IDENTITY IS ONE THING. I WONDER IF THERE IS LGBTQ STUDENTS , THAT IS NOT THE SAME THING, BUT IS THAT ANOTHER AREA ? I WONDER IF THAT IS SOMETHING . THERE IS A QUESTION THAT ASKS, LIKE I DON'T FIT INTO ANY OF THESE. MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE FILLED IN THERE. IT IS NOT NECESSARY UNLESS WE ASKED THEM THAT PARTICULAR QUESTION. MAYBE YOU WANT TO ASK IF THERE IS A QUESTION WE COULD FORMULATE THAT WE COULD GET TO SOME INFORMATION THEY CAN FIND OUT . I'M HAPPY TO WORK WITH THEM ON THAT. AS WELL AS HAVING THEM ON A MEETING. WE ARE HAVING TO MEET WITH THE STUDENTS OF COLOR, THE EQUITY COUNCIL. THAT MIGHT
090BE A GOOD CONNECTION FOR THEM. THANK YOU. WAS THE SURVEY CONDUCTED JUST WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS? HOW WAS IT ACROSS ALL STUDENTS? ALL SECONDARY STUDENTS. SAMANTHA, ANY REFLECTIONS OR THOUGHTS? I KNOW THIS IS A COMPLICATED TOPIC BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO WANT IT AND WHO DON'T. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE SOLUTION COULD BE. YOU COULD NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE. I GUESS MAYBE WE CAN FOCUS ON THE REASONING BEHIND THE PROGRAM, TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. ESPECIALLY WITH GUN VIOLENCE, INTRUDERS. MAYBE IF WE FOCUS MORE ON THE PURPOSE, SOME STUDENTS MIGHT REFLECT. MAYBE WE WILL HAVE LESS CONFLICT NARRATIVES . I THINK THAT IS A GOOD IDEA AS FAR AS PROMOTING WHAT IT IS, WHAT THEY DO. WE DID THIS WITH A COUPLE OF VIDEOS. WE CAN ALWAYS DO BETTER. WE
091CAN ALWAYS DO MORE. JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT KIDS UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE THERE FOR, HOW THEY ARE THERE TO SUPPORT THEM. WE DID MAKE SOME CHANGES. IN MY SUPERINTENDENT GROUP, THEY SET ABOUT HAVING THEM GREETED THE DOOR. SOME PEOPLE LIKE THEM, BUT DON'T. WHEN ALL HAVE THEM GO THERE ANY -- HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS , THOSE THINGS HAVE COME UP. THEY ARE THERE FOR SAFETY. WE WANT THEM TO BE A RESOURCE FOR WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO USE THEM ON SOME SITUATIONS WHERE IT WAS VERY NICE TO HAVE THEM. HAVE THEM BE ABLE TO GO TO HOMES, CHECK IN ON STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT FIREARMS AND SAFETY THAT WAY. MAKING SURE KIDS ARE OKAY, HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH PARENT ON THE WEEKEND, OR WHEN A SCHOOL NUMBER IS NOT THERE. I THINK IT
092COMES BACK TO IT NEVER HURTS TO EXPLAIN WHY PEOPLE ARE HERE, WHAT THEY ARE DOING, WHY THEY'RE DOING IT. NOT MAKING ASSUMPTIONS THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT. THAT IS COMING THROUGH ON ALL OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS. ONCE AGAIN, IT COMES BACK TO PEOPLE WHO TAKE SURVEYS AND PEOPLE DON'T TAKE SURVEYS. THE BETTER WE GET TO EXPLAIN THINGS, WE WILL HEAR FROM THE NEED MORE EXPLANATION, OR FEEL THE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES. NOT AT ALL. I THINK IT IS NOTABLE THAT THERE IS 90%, IF I READ CORRECTLY FROM THE TABLE. FOR BOTH MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS I THINK ACROSS THE BOARD. THEY WERE FAVORABLE OF THE AMOUNT OF INTERACTION OR THE AMOUNT OF PRESENT THAT THE SRO EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHEN YOU WERE ABLE TO SHARE THIS WITH THE POLICE CHIEF , WHAT
093RESPONSE THEY HAVE FOR THE NON-BINARY GROUP AND WITH THE SRO PERCEPTION IS AS TO WHY THERE WAS A LESS POSITIVE REFLECTION FROM THAT GROUP . IF THAT COULD BE SHARED WITH THE GROUP, I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS INFORMATION. I THINK WE DO IT IN A SPIRIT OF CONTINUAL LEARNING . TRYING TO IMPROVE THE PROGRAM. REALLY MAKING SURE IT IS MEETING ALL OF OUR STUDENTS' NEEDS. RECOGNIZING, AS SAMANTHA PUT IT SO BEAUTIFULLY, IT IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE. OKAY, WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE AGENDA ITEM 4.10, SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION ITEM. I WILL PUT OVER TO VICE CHAIR BILLS. THANK YOU, CHAIR 20 GUPTA. THEY ALWAYS SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT 7J HAS CONCLUDED THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT WHO HAS LED
094OUR DISTRICT FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY ACKNOWLEDGE , ARE PROUD OF, AND APPRECIATE HER UNWAVERING COMMITMENT, STEADY LEADERSHIP, AND INSIGHTFUL GUIDANCE. IN ASSESSING THE PERFORMANCE, CONSISTED OF MULTIPLE PROGRESS REPORT FROM DR. SCHIELE, A REVIEW OF STANDARDS, A MIDYEAR REPORT, AND A FINAL SELF-EVALUATION. INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS PROVIDED RATINGS , ALLOWING US TO REACH A CONSENSUS SCORE FOR EACH, WHICH IS REFLECTED IN THIS EVALUATION SUMMARY. THE BOARD'S ASSESSMENT IS THE NOT A VOICE AND REPRESENT A COLLABORATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT'S PERFORMANCE. THIS YEAR, WE FOCUS ON THREE GOALS AND EIGHT NATIONAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. IT IS NOTABLE THAT HIGH RATINGS INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR'S ASSESSMENT FOR VISIONARY LEADERSHIP FROM A 2.4 TO 8.6, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE INSTRUCTION FROM ENTRY TO A 2.5, EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT FROM A 3.8 TO A 4, TO ADVOCATES ALSO PERMIT THE POINT A
095TO AND 4. THERE WERE NO AREAS OF DECREASED DR. SCHIELE AS ACCOMPLISHED IN THE AREAS OF ETHICS, PROFESSIONAL --EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY GOVERNMENTS AND ADVOCACY, A TESTAMENT TO HER ABILITY TO FOSTER AN EQUITABLE, INCLUSIVE, AND SUPPORTIVE DISTRICT CULTURE. HER SKILLS IN MANAGEMENT AND WORKING IN ADVOCATES ON BEHALF OF STUDENTS ON STATE AND NATIONAL STAGES. ON THE REMAINING FIVE STANDARDS AND ALL SUPERINTENDENT GOALS, SHE WAS RATED AS AFFECT , SIGNIFYING SOLID PERFORMANCE AND IMPACT IN PARTICULAR AS A BOARD, WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER EXTRAORDINARY WORK IN THE AREAS OF ETHICS, ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT AND -- MANAGEMENT. HER LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN KEEPING OUR DISTRICT ON A PATH OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND SUCCESS, EFFECTIVELY PLANNING FOR AND USING RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO OUR DISTRICT. WE ALSO APPRECIATE HER DEDICATION TO FOSTERING ADDITIONAL CULTURE AND COMMITMENT TO POLICY
096AND GOVERNMENT. TWO AREAS STAND OUT FOR FURTHER GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. THE AREA OF COMMUNICATION IN RELATIONS WAS IDENTIFIED AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT. WE ENCOURAGE DR. SCHIELE FOR THE STRATEGIES, AND PUT CLARITY, AND ACCESSIBILITY OF DISTRICT WEBSITES , ENHANCING ENGAGEMENT WITH TAKEOVER GROUPS , FAMILIES, AND THE GOVERNMENTS. WE HAVE COMPLETE FAITH IN HER ABILITY TO ADDRESS THESE AREAS IN THE UPCOMING YEAR. WE ALSO BELIEVE THERE IS ROOM FOR PROGRESS IN ENHANCING THE LEADERSHIP , DONATING SUPPORT SYSTEMS FOR STAFF, AND UTILIZING RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES. WE CONFIDENTLY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW DR. SCHIELE WILL DRIVE GROWTH IN THIS AREA. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR HER COMMITMENT TO OUR DISTRICT, LEADERSHIP, AND UNWAVERING FOCUS. SUPPORTING DR.

JUST A STATEMENT IN ADDITION TO THIS, BECAUSE THE SCHOOL BOARD , THIS IS THE BIGGEST DUTY WE HAVE. TO EVALUATE THE SUPERINTENDENT. IT IS A JOY TO HAVE A SOUP INTENDED THAT IT IS DELIGHTFUL TO EVALUATE. TO GO TO THE DISTRICT AND SEE HOW THE DISTRICT OPERATES. IT MAKES ALL OF US THINK A LITTLE MORE DEEPLY ON WHAT IT TAKES TO MOVE A DISTRICT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SAYING THAT, I HAD TO ALWAYS POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE A TRULY GRATEFUL SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE. YET, THE STATE OF OREGON , EVERY TWO YEARS, WE GET THE QUALITY EDUCATION MODEL AND THE STATE LEGISLATION MODEL . AS FAR
098AS I KNOW, IT HAS NEVER EVER FUNDED THE STATE OF OREGON TO A QUALITY EDUCATION MODEL. WE ARE EVEN MORE FORTUNATE IN THIS DISTRICT TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE DO WITH NOT THE KIND OF FINDING THAT THE STATES GET. WE DON'T HAVE TO DO GO THROUGH THE SLINGS AND ARROWS OF THE DISTRICTS HAVE TO TO GO THROUGH. THANK YOU, DR. SCHIELE, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE STAFF. IT TAKES A HUGE TEAM TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT THIS DISTRICT ACCOMPLISHES EACH YEAR. THIS IS INCLUDING THE BOARD. WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT. THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR. IT HAS.

099TO YOUR ENTIRE TEAM , TO ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL TEACHERS AND STAFF, OUR AMAZING STUDENTS, OUR AMAZING PARENTS. EVERYONE. IT TAKES EVERYONE TO BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. GIVEN THE CHALLENGES THAT THE WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC REALLY POSED. I JUST WANT TO ECHO YOUR WORDS , WE ARE REALLY, REALLY FORTUNATE IN THIS DISTRICT. SUPER FORTUNATE. GIVEN ALL OF THOSE SUCCESSES, IN THE SAME SPACE, I WANT TO HOLD THAT THAT WE STILL SOME WORK TO DO. WHETHER IT IS STARTING A NEW FAMILY ON BOARDING PLAN, ADDRESSING THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME VERY SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, I JUST REFLECT ON THE LOSS OF A BELOVED SCHOOL MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY. A COACH. THERE IS STILL MORE WORK TO DO. YOU KNOW, WISHING EVERYONE A WONDERFUL SUMMER
