Nov 24, 2025 School Board Meeting

BORN READY? OKAY. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE, AND WELCOME TO OUR MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

[1. REGULAR MEETING CALL TO ORDER - 5:30 PM]

[00:00:09]

[2. CULTURE]

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

THANK YOU, COREY. NEXT ON THE LIST IS THE LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT, AND THAT WILL BE BY CONNIE.

THANK YOU. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE GEOGRAPHICAL REGION OF CAMAS IS LOCATED ON THE ANCESTRAL AND TERRITORIAL LANDS OF THE CHINOOK AND COWLITZ PEOPLE, AND THAT THE CHINOOK ARE STILL FIGHTING TO BE FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED TRIBE ON THEIR OWN LAND.

THANK YOU, CONNIE. OKAY, NEXT, WE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY RECESS THIS REGULAR MEETING, WHICH I WILL DO RIGHT NOW AT 5:31.

[3. RECESS OF REGULAR MEETING]

[4. PUBLIC HEARING - Property]

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, EVERYONE. SO AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE KARCHER PROPERTY OVER OFF OF PARKER FOR A WHILE.

THE, I CAME TO YOU A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND SAID THAT OUR DISTRICT REALLY DOESN'T NEED THAT PROPERTY.

WE REALLY COULD UTILIZE THE NET PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE TO HELP WITH OUR CAPITAL FUNDS.

SO, ON OCTOBER 27TH, KEEP IN MIND WE HAD A RESOLUTION COME BEFORE YOU, WHICH YOU ADOPTED.

AND THAT ESSENTIALLY GAVE ME THE OKAY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A PUBLIC HEARING.

LET THE PUBLIC KNOW. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY CONCERNS FROM THE PUBLIC OR ANY COMMENTS IN GENERAL ABOUT THAT PROPERTY AND THE FACT THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO SELL IT. IF, IN IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL TONIGHT WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING, THEN I WOULD JUST NEED DIRECTION FROM YOU TO GO AHEAD AND START THE MARKETING PROCESS TO PUT THAT ON, ON THE MARKET TO SELL. AND JUST AS A REMINDER, WE HAD SURPLUS THIS PROPERTY LIKE IN 2020, I THINK IT WAS. SO WE HAD WE HAD ALREADY WENT THROUGH THIS PROCESS, BUT WE FELT LIKE IT WAS SUCH A LONG TIME AGO THAT WE SHOULD JUST RE REVISIT THAT AND MAKE SURE. YEAH, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. SO IT WAS SURPLUS ONCE BEFORE AND IT WAS ALSO DURING COVID.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE FULLY TRANSPARENT WITH THE WITH THE PUBLIC. NOT SAYING IT WASN'T BEFORE BUT FIVE YEARS.

THINGS CHANGE. ALSO THE PRICE OF OF THAT PROPERTY HAS CHANGED AS WELL.

SO WE DID RECEIVE AN APPRAISAL ON THAT PROPERTY.

SO WE TOOK CARE OF THAT. THE BOARD APPROVED THAT.

AND SO RIGHT NOW OUR DUCKS ARE ALL IN A ROW TO GET THAT PROPERTY UP FOR SALE.

THE HOLD UP COULD BE WAITING ON THE COUNTY TO REZONE THAT, WHICH COULD BE AS LATE AS JUNE OF 2026.

SO WE REALLY CAN'T FINALIZE ANYTHING WITH ANY POTENTIAL BUYERS UNTIL AFTER THAT ZONING CHANGES, AND THEN THERE'LL BE A CLOSING PERIOD AS WELL.

SO RIGHT NOW I'VE BEEN TALKING TO OUR BROKER.

IT COULD BE EARLY TO LATE FALL OF 2026. SO IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

OKAY. IS THERE ANY COMMENT OR DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD ON THAT? OKAY. SO WITH THAT I'M GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM 4.C, WHICH IS PUBLIC COMMENT.

SO THIS WOULD BE THE TIME FOR IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO HAS ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THAT SPECIFIC SURPLUS OF THE PROPERTY.

ANYONE? OKAY. SO WITH THAT I'M GOING TO ADJOURN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 5:33 AND RESUME THE REGULAR BOARD

[5. RESUME REGULAR BOARD MEETING]

[6. CULTURE]

OH, WE HAD CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL EMILY AND BLAKE ON THE AGENDA, BUT MAYBE THEY ARE NOT HERE.

I KNOW IT'S A NO SCHOOL DAY, SO. OKAY. WELL, WITH THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM.

THIS ONE I KNOW IS HERE. 6.B, THE TEAM MEAN MACHINE.

SO WELCOME, YOU GUYS. SO COME ON UP. AND SHAWNA, THEY CAN USE THAT MICROPHONE RIGHT HERE.

YEP. SO IF YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. HELLO. I'M JUST GOING TO DO A QUICK INTRODUCTION OF THE TEAM MEAN MACHINE. AND I KNOW WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, AND YOU PROBABLY RECOGNIZE THE UNIFORMS, I CERTAINLY HOPE SO. BUT PART OF WHAT WE TRY TO TEACH OVER THESE LAST 18 YEARS OF THE TEAM IS TO GET UP AND SAY THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP. AND SO I'VE GOT TARYN AND ELLA HERE TWO MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM LEADERSHIP BOARD, AND ANOTHER ONE HIDING BACK IN THE CORNER, WHICH THEY'LL INTRODUCE US TO COME TALK TO YOU.

YOU MAY NOTICE THAT ANOTHER THING WE TEACH IS A LOT IS ABOUT SAFETY.

SO I NOTICED I'M STILL WEARING MY GLASSES BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A CNC MACHINE OR LATHE IS GOING TO START UP RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.

SO ACTUALLY I DO IT BECAUSE THEY NEVER SEE ME WITHOUT THEM ON.

[00:05:10]

SO WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. ALSO FOR LIKE ALL OF THE UTILITIES LIKE HEATING AND ALL OF THAT STUFF AND LIGHTING.

AND THEN. YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE MORE. SO THIS YEAR WE COMPETED IN THE 2025 SEASON AND THAT WAS CALLED REEF SCAPE. IT WAS SIMILAR TO A WATERWAY CLEANUP, WHERE WE TOOK OUT ALGAE OUT OF A REEF AND THEN PLACED IN CORAL.

THROUGH THAT, WE WENT TO THREE DIFFERENT COMPETITIONS, ONE OF WHICH BEING DCNP, AND WE WERE JUST A FEW RANKING POINTS AWAY FROM GOING TO WORLDS, AND WE GOT THREE DIFFERENT AWARDS. WE GOT TWO OF WHICH WERE THE SAME, BUT WE GOT THEM AT TWO DIFFERENT COMPETITIONS AND THAT WAS INNOVATION AND CONTROL DUE TO OUR USE OF AN OCULUS, SO OUR VISION. AND THEN WE GOT A GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM AWARD WHICH IS PRETTY, THAT'S A PRETTY IMPORTANT HIGH ONE WHICH SHOWS THAT WE'RE GRACIOUS AND WE HELP OUT OTHER TEAMS EVEN THOUGH WE ARE IN A COMPETITION SETTING.

THANK YOU. WE ALSO WE HAVE A POSTER AND A LETTER TO AWARD TO YOU.

YOU GUYS, I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN GET, LIKE, A PICTURE OR SOMETHING. YEAH, WELL.

OF COURSE.

NO, NO.

NO.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU GUYS WANT TO ASK? I JUST WOULDN'T MIND KNOWING WE TALKED ABOUT YOUR 2025 SEASON.

WHEN DOES THE 2026 KICK OFF? SATURDAY OR SECOND SATURDAY.

WHERE'S THAT AT? IT KICKS OFF AT THE LIBERTY.

OKAY, COOL. ALL RIGHT. SO THAT'S WHEN YOU GET THE CHALLENGE OF FOR THIS NEXT SEASON? OH, THEY CAN'T TELL US THAT. EVERYBODY WOULD KNOW. PEOPLE CAN HEAR YOU UP ON THE MICROPHONE HERE.

ANYONE WHO WANTS A MICROPHONE. YEAH, WE CAN HEAR YOU.

BUT PEOPLE WATCHING AT HOME IN THE RECORDING OF THE MEETING DOESN'T CATCH.

SO, I THINK YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT WHAT THE HINT WAS.

IT'S CALLED. NO, SHE DID. AND SHE SAID, DON'T SAY IT.

SO LIKE, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO BE YOU'RE GOING TO LET OUT A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S IT'S CALLED NEW AGE. AND OUR SECTION IS CALLED REBUILD BECAUSE THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT COMPETITION WITHIN THE FIRST. AND IT'S LIKE AN ARCHEOLOGICAL THEME. I DON'T KNOW, WE GOT LIKE A FIVE SECOND CLIP.

SO IT WAS PRETTY, I MEAN. MAYBE SOME DIGGING FROM THAT.

NICE. AND THEN WE'RE WORKING ON SOMETHING CALLED BUNNY BOTS, WHICH IS AN OFF SEASON COMPETITION WE DO EVERY YEAR.

AND IT'S HOSTED BY A TEAM NEAR US IN THE AREA IN PORTLAND.

SO IT'S JUST TO GET US READY FOR IT. AND SO WE'RE MAKING A WHOLE NEW ROBOT FOR THAT, THAT ONE.

WE'RE COLLECTING A BUNCH OF CARROTS FROM, LIKE, A CORRAL, AND THEN WE'RE SHOOTING THEM INTO A PETTING ZOO AREA THAT'S LIKE FOUR FOOT TALL BIN, AND THEN IT'S LIKE A FOOT OR BY FOOT. SO WE GOT A.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HIT THE ANIMALS. YEAH. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE LIKE A LITTLE BABY BOT.

I MEAN WE CALL IT A MINI BOT AND THEN IT GOES, IT'S A BUNNY, AND THEN IT GOES IN THERE AND THEN SHOOTS THEM UP TO AWESOME.

AND JUST, OH, GO AHEAD, YOU'RE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING. I WAS JUST GOING TO MENTION THAT THE REASON WHY IT'S CALLED BUNNY BOTS IS BECAUSE EVERY YEAR THEY HAVE A BUNNY THEMED GAME ELEMENT. SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY. AND YEAH, AND SO THIS YEAR, THE BUNNY THEMED GAME ELEMENT IS THE LITTLE MINI BOT HAS TO LOOK LIKE A

[00:10:07]

THEY'RE POOL NOODLES. NICE. NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, FOR PEOPLE WHO MAYBE DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE TEAM OR HAVE HEARD OF YOU.

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE ON THE TEAM AND AND, LIKE, WHAT SCHOOLS ARE REPRESENTED AND KIND OF LIKE, HOW OFTEN ARE YOU. HOW HOW OFTEN ARE YOU ALL MEETING RIGHT NOW? WELL, RIGHT NOW, NORMALLY WE HAVE TWO SESSIONS.

BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE MEETING MORE ABOUT FOUR, THREE TIMES A WEEK, AND THEN WE REPRESENT THE HAWKINSON, WASHOUGAL AND CAMAS SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO ANY SCHOOLS WITHIN THAT, AND WE HAVE 57 TEAM MEMBERS AND 20 OF WHICH ARE NEW TO THIS SEASON.

ALL RIGHT. AWESOME. BIG, BIG LIKE GROWTH. AND ALL HIGH SCHOOL, CORRECT? YES. EXCEPT WE DO ACCEPT EIGHTH GRADERS. OKAY.

OH. WHAT GRADE ARE YOU GUYS IN? I'M A JUNIOR.

AND I'M SENIOR. WHAT SCHOOLS? I GO TO DISCOVERY AND CASCADIA.

YEAH. YOU GUYS GOTTA GET A ROBOT TO BUILD. YOU GUYS GOTTA GO TO WORK. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT NEXT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM 6.C, WHICH IS STUDENT PUBLIC COMMENTS.

I DON'T THINK WE HAD ANYONE SIGN UP FOR ANY STUDENT PUBLIC COMMENTS EITHER, BUT THAT'S ALWAYS AN AREA WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE STUDENTS COME IN AND JUST SHARE WITH US ANY COMMENTS THEY WANTED TO LET US KNOW ABOUT.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 6.D, WHICH IS BOARD COMMUNICATION.

I'M GOING TO CHANGE IT UP SLIGHTLY AND ASK TO START WITH CONNIE TODAY.

THIS END OF THE TABLE. I'M GOING TO STEAL EVERYBODY'S THUNDER.

WE JUST GOT BACK. WE WENT TO A THREE DAY CONFERENCE IN SEATTLE, OUR ANNUAL WASHINGTON STATE SCHOOL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE WHICH IS ALWAYS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. I THOUGHT I THINK WE MOSTLY AGREED THAT I FELT LIKE EVERY SESSION THAT I WENT TO, LIKE, I GOT SOMETHING OUT OF THAT WE CAN BRING BACK.

AND THAT FOR ME, THE BIG HITTERS WERE THE INFORMATION WE LEARNED ON, ON POST-GRADUATION DATA, YOU KNOW, LIKE WHERE, HOW MANY KIDS ENROLL IN FOUR-YEAR, TWO-YEARS, KNOW COLLEGE AND THEN WHERE THEY ARE LIKE EIGHT YEARS OUT. AND THAT'S JUST PUBLIC DATA THAT WE CAN ACCESS AND DIG INTO THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT.

ALSO A LOT ABOUT AI THAT LIKE, WE GOT TO GET ON BOARD.

WE'RE ALREADY BEHIND. WE NEED A POLICY AND TO FIGURE OUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'RE, HOW WE'RE GOING TO GO FORWARD AND TO TALK ABOUT STUDENT VOICE AND HOW WE RECEIVE STUDENT VOICE AND HOW IT INFORMS OUR DECISION.

WHERE MY BIG TAKEAWAYS. SO I WON'T STEAL ANY MORE THUNDER.

OKAY. I ACTUALLY WENT INTO IT THIS TIME A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

I CONSIDERED IT MORE OF A SEASONED MEMBER. THE FIRST TIME I WENT WAS MY FIRST TIME ON THE BOARD, AND I FELT LIKE WITH ALL THE NEW BOARD MEMBER BOOT CAMP, I FELT A LITTLE.

I WAS DROWNING. BUT THIS TIME IT WAS A BIT MORE RELAXED.

AND I HAD A PLAN ON WHAT I WAS ATTENDING, AND I LOVED THAT WE ALL WENT TO THE DIFFERENT ONES THAT WE COULD, AND THEN COMMUNICATE ABOUT WHAT WE LEARNED SO THAT WE WEREN'T ALL AT THE SAME THING.

SO AND THE OTHER THING THAT I ALSO WANTED TO DO, WHICH I THOUGHT I DID A PRETTY OKAY JOB WITH, IS BUILDING SOME CONNECTIONS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS.

THERE ARE NEIGHBOR DISTRICTS THAT, YOU KNOW I DIDN'T KNOW A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE.

AND I GOT TO SIT WITH THEM AT SOME OF THOSE SESSIONS THAT I WENT TO AND LEARN ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND US, NOT JUST ON THE EAST OR WEST OF US TWO. SO THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL.

I WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH, I THOUGHT. AND THEN THE CONFERENCE TOPICS THAT I THOUGHT THEY WERE VERY RELEVANT TO TODAY TO THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE WORLD THINGS THAT WE'VE SPOKEN ABOUT AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY COMMITTEES RECEPTION THAT WE HAD THE OTHER DAY,

[00:15:06]

AND THEY WERE TEACHING PEOPLE TOOLS, HOW TO CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR AND HOW TO COMMUNICATE.

AND, AND THIS IS WHERE THE WHOLE SEASON PIECE OF IT CAME INTO PLAY.

I WAS LIKE, LET ME TELL YOU. AND I FELT REALLY PROUD THAT WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK AND THINGS THAT THAT WERE BEING TAUGHT WERE THINGS THAT WE WERE ALREADY DOING. SO IN THAT SENSE, I FELT LIKE WE WERE A LITTLE AHEAD OF THE GAME MAYBE.

BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER TOPIC THAT I WENT TO HAD TO DO WITH AI AND WHERE I FELT LIKE, OKAY EVEN PERSONALLY, I FEEL LIKE I STAY AWAY FROM AI A LOT. SO I FELT LIKE WE WERE KIND OF BEHIND ON THAT.

BUT THERE WAS A SCHOOL FROM I THINK THEY SAID RIVERSIDE AND THE KIDS HAVE ALREADY HAVE WORKED ON IT, AND THEY HAVE SOME, YOU KNOW, THEORIES BEHIND ETHICAL POLICIES THAT THEY'VE ALREADY DEVELOPED.

THEY'RE CONTINUOUSLY WORKING. AND THE ENTIRE SESSION WAS HELD RUN BY THE KIDS.

AND I THOUGHT THEY DID A GREAT JOB ON THAT. SO, LET'S SEE.

AND THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE THAT I WENT TO HAD TO DO WITH IMPORTANCE REINFORCING THE IMPORTANCE OF INCLUSION, ACCEPTANCE AND EQUITY. AND THEY RELATED THAT TO, I THINK THE TITLE WAS FROM BOARDROOM TO CLASSROOM.

ONE OF THE EXAMPLES THAT I KNOW CLINT USED WITH OUR LEGISLATORS WHEN THEY WERE HERE.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BOOK THAT WAS FROM LIKE 2000.

AND SO HOW WAS THAT FALL INTO THAT EQUITABLE OR BEING, YOU KNOW, THE TOPIC OF EQUITY.

AND THERE WERE KIDS THAT WERE IN THAT SESSION THAT SPOKE ABOUT TEACHERS WHO, YOU KNOW, A TEACHER WILL NOT LET ME TAKE THE TEST OVER, BUT MY FRIEND'S TEACHER IN HIS CLASS WILL LET ME LET THEM TAKE IT OVER.

SO, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE TOPIC HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THAT, HAD INVOLVED KIDS IN THAT.

AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY INTERESTING. AND REALLY SO THE BIG TAKEAWAYS, I FELT LIKE THE FUTURE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT CAME UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS THE FUTURE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE PAST, AND IT SHOULDN'T. WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A PRETTY INTERESTING LINE.

I KNOW WE ALWAYS SAY A LOT AS ADULTS BACK IN OUR DAY OR BACK IN THE DAY, AND IT FEELS LIKE BACK IN THE DAY DOESN'T REALLY APPLY THESE DAYS ANYMORE.

SO AND WE NEED TO VIEW EDUCATION THROUGH STUDENT SIZE.

AND THAT CAME OUT OF ONE OF THE STUDENTS AT ONE OF THE SESSIONS. THE GUY WAS, YOU KNOW, THE KID WAS LIKE, I APPRECIATE YOU ALL DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING, BUT YOU HAVE TO SEE IT FROM OUR EYES AND YOU'RE CREATING A FUTURE FOR US.

AND SO YOU NEED TO SORT OF BE OPEN AND GET ON BOARD WITH THAT.

SO IT WAS REALLY A LOT OF RELEVANCE TO THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

AND I REALLY ENJOYED ALL OF IT. SO KIND OF LEFT WITH HOPE AND ALSO AS THE THEME PURPOSE, AND I'M NOT TAKING AWAY THUNDER FROM ANYONE BECAUSE THESE ARE SESSIONS THAT I DON'T THINK ANYONE ELSE WENT TO ALSO.

AND THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER SHE WAS PHENOMENAL. SO I'LL JUST WAIT.

ONE MORE THING THAT I WENT TO THAT HAD TO DO WITH HER. IT WAS A ONE MINUTE I FORGET WHAT IT'S CALLED.

ONE MINUTE SOMETHING. DID YOU PICK UP THE BOOK? AND. ONE MINUTE MEETING? AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS AWESOME.

YES. AND SHE, AS A PRINCIPLE, MET WITH STUDENTS.

SHE HAD A SCHEDULE ON HOW SHE WAS MEETING, BUT SHE MET WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, AND IT ONLY TOOK A MINUTE.

AND SHE HAD THREE QUESTIONS THAT SHE WOULD ASK THEM.

AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GAIN SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE FROM ALL OF THEM WITH THAT ONE MINUTE.

AND IT MADE SENSE, BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU'RE PASSING FRIENDS AND YOU'LL SAY, HEY, HOW ARE YOU DOING? BUT WE DON'T REALLY STOP TO ACTUALLY HEAR HOW YOU'RE DOING.

AND THAT'S WHAT SHE FELT LIKE. THAT ONE MINUTE WAS FOR HER WITH THOSE KIDS. WAS THAT ONE MINUTE OF ACTUALLY SPENDING TIME LEARNING HOW THEY WERE DOING. AWESOME.

SO THERE YOU GO. I WON'T BELABOR OVER SINCE I THINK COREY YOU'LL HAVE SOME TOO.

IT WAS A GREAT MEETING. BUT FOR THIS MONTH, A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS.

I APPRECIATE EVERYONE HERE THAT WAS ABLE AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO ATTEND THE DRAMA THAT WE HAD.

ROMEO AND JULIET. THAT WAS IT WAS SO WELL ATTENDED THE THE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

THE LAST WEEKEND WAS SOLD OUT. PEOPLE CAME SATURDAY NIGHT AND COULDN'T SEE IT, WHICH I FELT BAD FOR.

BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE A SALAD.

I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THAT PRODUCTION HAD TWO SENIOR PROJECTS, SO ROISIN FLANAGAN, AND SILAS [INAUDIBLE], BOTH OF THEM DID THEIR SENIOR PROJECTS ON DRAMA, SET, PRODUCTION AND CHOREOGRAPHY.

AND SOME OF THE GRAFFITI THAT WAS THERE. SO JUST TO HIGHLIGHT THAT, THAT YOU CAN.

LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR SENIORS TO SHOWCASE THEIR WORK EARLY.

THIS LAST MONTH WE'VE HAD SEVERAL COMMITTEES THE ARTS ADVISORY HAS MET FOR A SECOND TIME.

I'LL LET COREY TALK MORE ABOUT THAT MAYBE. ARTS ADVISORY HAS BEEN GOING WELL.

VERY ENGAGING. WE HAVE SOME NEW THINGS GOING ON THERE. THE CITIZENS AND STUDENTS AS WELL.

I'VE BEEN ABLE TO ATTEND BOTH OF THOSE WHERE THE CITIZENS ARE CONTINUING WITH AI.

SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT PROGRESSES. AND I KNOW THE STUDENTS ARE WORKING VERY HARD AT GETTING READY FOR THEIR WINDOWS AND MIRRORS EFFORT AT OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL,

[00:20:03]

LUNCH BUDDY IS FANTASTIC. THE LUNCH BUDDY PROGRAM AT LACMA'S LAKE.

I HAVEN'T SEEN BALLARD BUT REALLY ENJOYING THAT.

IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. I'M HOPING THAT THAT GETS THE SUPPORT IN THE COMING YEAR TO TO EXPAND THAT, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT REALLY WANT THAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE LUNCH WITH AN ADULT AND JUST KIND OF DO DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND IT'S A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY. SO I APPRECIATE PRINCIPAL MUELLER AND HER STAFF FOR WELCOMING ME THERE EVERY FRIDAY.

SO WE HAD A GOOD WORKSHOP. IF WE ALL REMEMBER THE WORKSHOP WITH OUR PRINCIPALS, THAT WAS REALLY FANTASTIC.

WE HAD THAT LAST YEAR AS WELL, BUT IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF SEE WHERE THE GREATEST CHALLENGES ARE, HOW THEY'RE APPROACHING THOSE PROBLEMS. SOME OF THE COMMON THEMES, AS WELL AS THE UNIQUE WAYS OF ADDRESSING IT.

SO AND THEN MY LAST ONE, BEAR WITH ME ON THIS ONE.

IF YOU BEAR, I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE MY THANKSGIVING THING BECAUSE IT IS A THANKSGIVING WEEK.

SO YOU CAN STEAL THIS TOO IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR THANKS. SO I DO WANT TO THANK EVERYONE HERE FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF OF ME BEING AN APPOINTED MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL BOARD AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SERVING FOR ANOTHER FOUR. AS COREY AND I BOTH TAKE OUR OATH NEXT MEETING IN DECEMBER.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, I GOT TO THANK PEOPLE. SO I'M GOING TO THANK MY WIFE FOR PUTTING UP WITH IT.

SHE THOUGHT IT WAS CRAZY TO DO IT. SHE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT, ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME. SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I ENJOY IT, BUT MY WIFE AND MY FAMILY FOR THAT. I THANK ALL OF YOU, ESPECIALLY JOHN, FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY ENDLESS SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENT IDEAS.

JOHN LAUGHS BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW MANY NOTES I SEND HIM ON IDEAS TO IMPROVE THINGS.

THANK YOU TO THE STUDENTS, THE FAMILIES, THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, CAREGIVERS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OPEN, LIKE IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF, TO COME FORWARD. I THINK FOR ALL OF YOU AS WELL, WE GET PRIVATE MESSAGES OR CALLS OR TEXT MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE ABOUT SOMETHING THEY'RE TRYING TO OVERCOME.

SO THAT'S REALLY REWARDING WHEN WE HAVE THAT CHANCE.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THOUGH, I WOULD SAY IN A YEAR AND A HALF OF BEING IN THIS ROLE, A LOT OF THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE STAFF THAT ARE HERE IN ADMINISTRATION, THE PRINCIPALS, OUR EDUCATORS THAT HAVE I DON'T KNOW FOR ALL OF YOU, BUT FOR ME, IN THE FIRST YEAR AND A HALF, VERY WELCOMING, VERY NOT JUST PRIVATELY WELCOMING.

LIKE, IT'S NICE YOU'RE HERE, BUT THE CANDOR. SO I WROTE DOWN THE CANDOR, THE CONFIDENCE AND THE OPENNESS.

I'M GOING TO SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED DOCTOR HOLD, I APPRECIATE HIM.

AMY HOLMES AT HAYES FREEDOM. FOR ALL HER OPENNESS IN THE LAST YEAR WITH ME WHEN I'VE NOT HAD ANY STUDENTS AT HAYES FREEDOM.

FORMER PRINCIPAL SWAN I REMEMBER LAST YEAR SHE GAVE ME A LOT OF GOOD GUIDING ADVICE.

DOCTOR SALK, FOR HER BOUNDLESS OPTIMISM. JULIE MUELLER, AS I MENTIONED FOR LACAMAS LAKE, KATIE IN PARTICULAR, FOR ALL YOUR GUIDANCE YOU'VE GIVEN ME IN THE LAST YEAR, AND YOU'VE GIVEN ME LOTS OF GUIDANCE, THINGS THAT I HADN'T HAD TO THINK ABOUT. SO AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, RECENTLY, I WILL MENTION HIM BECAUSE HE WON'T WATCH A BOARD MEETING.

IT WOULD BE SEAN KELLY AT CHS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY PUSHING HIS BUTTONS THIS LAST YEAR TO GET SOME THINGS MOVING ON DRAMA.

AND HE'S BEEN VERY WELCOMING TO THAT. SO SEAN'S NOT AN EASILY MOVABLE PERSON, BUT I'M HAPPY TO BE WORKING WITH HIM ON THINGS.

SO THAT'S MY LIST, MY THANKFUL LIST. SO THANK YOU.

YEAH. WELL I JUST WANT TO JUST HIT A COUPLE OTHER THINGS.

WE A FEW OF US GOT TO GO ON NOVEMBER 1ST TO THE MUSIC BOOSTER TEACHER TALENT SHOWCASE.

WHICH WAS A TON OF FUN. I MEAN, FROM EVERYTHING FROM ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS TO HANDBELL TO AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE. IF THEY WEREN'T AGAINST FIRE CODE, IT WOULD HAVE HAD MY LIGHTER OUT FOR STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN BY SPAM FINGER.

IT WAS AMAZING. YES. OF COURSE. NOSE FLUTE FROM MR. KENYON, WAS FANTASTIC. EVERYTHING WAS IT WAS IT WAS A FANTASTIC EVENT.

WELL ATTENDED, ESPECIALLY WITH USUALLY, I THINK THAT'S THE THIRD YEAR.

AND THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT EVENT IS COMPETING AGAINST. THIS YEAR IT WAS CHS HOMECOMING.

BUT IT WAS IT WAS WELL ATTENDED. AND JUST AGAIN, JUST A BIG THANK YOU TO THE THE CAMAS MUSIC BOOSTERS FOR ALL THAT THEY DO.

I KNOW THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR GRANT AWARD SEASON RIGHT NOW. I THINK I HEARD SOMETHING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF ABOUT $38,000 WORTH OF GRANT REQUESTS THAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO FUND THIS THIS FALL. MATTHEW ALLUDED TO THE ARTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

WE HAD OUR SECOND MEETING OF THAT THIS THIS MONTH.

AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THAT NOBODY DROPPED OFF FROM THE FIRST MEETING.

WE DIDN'T SCARE THEM AWAY. IN FACT, THERE WAS EVEN MORE PEOPLE WHICH WAS GREAT.

AND I ESPECIALLY WANT TO SAY THANKS TO THE COMMITTEE CHAIR, SARAH LIGHTFOOT AND CO-CHAIR WOLF, FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE. THE GROUP FEELS ALREADY BY THE SECOND MEETING, LIKE, REALLY DIALED IN.

AND I APPRECIATE THE WAY THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN STRUCTURED IN TERMS OF WANTING TO GET A, A SOLID MISSION AND VISION GOING AND, AND KIND OF GET A GOOD INVENTORY OF THE, OF THE DISTRICT IN TERMS OF WHAT WE OFFER AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THROUGHOUT THE BUILDINGS, BUT ALSO LOOKING FOR QUICK WINS AND, AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WHAT WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS ELEVATE

[00:25:04]

SO EVERYBODY REALLY, IT FEELS LIKE EVERYBODY'S GOT A GOOD I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT IT.

WE'RE WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THE CONSTRAINTS AND EVERYBODY'S, YOU KNOW, CREATIVE.

IT'S A GREAT IT'S A GREAT COMMITTEE TO BE A PART OF BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S IN THERE WITH CREATIVE SOLUTIONS, A ROOM FULL OF CREATIVE PEOPLE. SO WE'VE GOT SUBCOMMITTEES WORKING RIGHT NOW. THERE'S A SUBCOMMITTEE ON MUSIC, A SUBCOMMITTEE ON VISUAL ARTS A SUBCOMMITTEE ON TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATIONS, AND THEN ANOTHER ONE ON STUDENT ENGAGEMENT.

SO I THINK THOSE ARE ALL REALLY GOOD THINGS TO START KIND OF DIGGING INTO AND LEARNING ABOUT. I THINK THIS YEAR WILL BE A LOT OF, A LOT OF LEARNING.

AND KIND OF, YOU KNOW EVALUATING THE SCENE, BUT THERE'S SOME QUICK WINS THAT I THINK WE'LL BE ABLE TO REPORT BACK ON AT THE AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH IS GREAT. BIG THANKS TO OUR LEGISLATIVE OUR LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE AS WELL FOR THE LEGISLATIVE RECEPTION, WE HAD ON THE 17TH. I KNOW WE WERE THERE. AND I'M SURE JOHN WILL TALK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT LATER, BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE A BIG THANKS TO THAT COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT'S THE LEGISLATIVE RECEPTION WAS THEIR SECOND MEETING OF THE YEAR, AND I THOUGHT THAT EACH YEAR WE'VE DONE THIS, IT'S GOTTEN BETTER AND BETTER.

AND WE HAD A LOT OF GREAT FEEDBACK FROM THAT.

AND BAMINI, YOU'RE RIGHT. WHEN I WAS UP AT WSSDA SITTING IN SOME OF THOSE LEGISLATIVE BREAKOUT SESSIONS REALIZING HOW HONEST WE ARE, WE'RE KIND OF AHEAD. THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE I DO FEEL LIKE WE'RE KIND OF AHEAD OF THE GAME.

AND I THINK THAT JOHN AND I WERE EVEN TALKING A LITTLE BIT THAT THERE'S PROBABLY SOME THINGS THAT SOME OTHER, SOME OTHER DISTRICTS CAN LEARN FROM US IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO JUST REALLY WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR WORK THERE.

WE HAD OUR FIRST BUDGET COMMITTEE MEETING OF THE YEAR AS WELL ON NOVEMBER 13TH.

AND, KIM THANK YOU FOR IT WAS A GREAT INTRODUCTORY MEETING.

I THOUGHT THAT THE WAY THAT YOU AND MATT LAID EVERYTHING OUT AND REALLY WERE ABLE TO TELL THE DISTRICT STORY OVER THE LAST KIND OF, I MEAN, EVEN GOING BACK MORE THAN A DECADE WAS REALLY, IT WAS JUST EXPLAINED IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAT I AND A LOT OF WAYS I HADN'T HEARD BEFORE.

AND I THINK THAT IT WAS VERY CLEAR. AND IT'S A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE.

WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW FACES ON THERE AS WELL. SO EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THAT GROUP GOES.

AND THEN YEAH. THEN THERE'S FINALLY THE, THE, THE WASEDA CONFERENCE AGAIN, KIND OF MY TAKEAWAYS FROM THAT, I THINK KIND OF SAME AS CONNIE. I THINK AI IS SOMETHING WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE DIGGING INTO.

I THINK THE POST-SECONDARY DATA, I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY AS A BOARD IN TERMS OF DATA POINTS.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY LOOK AT AND CAN HELP KIND OF INFORM OUR DECISION MAKING.

AND IT ALL. THE THIRD POINT I THINK ACTUALLY KIND OF TOUCHES EVERYTHING.

AND THAT IS RELEVANT STUDENT VOICE. AND AND I THINK THAT THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT I KNOW THAT SOME OF US HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR QUITE A WHILE, HAVE BEEN REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT KIND OF STEERING, STEERING THINGS, CERTAIN WAYS OF HOW CAN WE GET MEANINGFUL STUDENT VOICE THAT IS IMPACTING THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE. THE FIVE OF US MAKE UP HERE.

AND SO IT WAS EXCITING TO HEAR SOME HEAR FROM SOME OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT FEEL LIKE THEY'VE KIND OF GOT A GOOD SYSTEM KIND OF REACH OUT TO THEM A LITTLE BIT.

AND I HOPE THAT SOON WE CAN WE CAN MAYBE GET A WORKSHOP ON IN FOR, FOR STUDENT VOICE BECAUSE I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT AGAIN, I FEEL LIKE NOT THAT WE'RE BEHIND BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TRYING SOME FEW THINGS.

WE'VE BEEN TRYING QUITE A FEW THINGS. BUT I DO FEEL LIKE THERE ARE SOME OTHER DISTRICTS THAT HAVE SOME WE CAN LEARN FROM, I GUESS IS WHAT I'M SAYING. SO ANYWAYS. AND THEN, THANKS ALL OF YOU.

I CAN' FOLLOW UP WITH THAT. JUST, THANKS. OKAY.

THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. NOW, I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE TO FOLLOW MATTHEW, I GET IT, OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S WHY I CHANGED THE ORDER UP TONIGHT. I WAS TRYING TO THROW YOU GUYS ALL OFF, SO. AND THEN BY THE TIME IT GETS TO ME, IT'S LIKE YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE ALL DONE. SO WELL, I DO HAVE SOMETHING.

WELL, I DIDN'T OKAY. WE'RE SO POLITE UP HERE.

JUST THE I MEAN, AGAIN, THAT WAS GREAT. I REALLY ENJOYED OUR TIME TOGETHER AND JUST, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SUCH GOOD CONVERSATIONS AND ALSO JUST MEETING WITH OTHER DISTRICTS. I KNOW BAMINI MENTIONED THAT IT'S A REALLY GREAT TIME FOR US TO REALLY TALK TO THE EVERGREEN BOARD OF THE VANCOUVER AND THE HAWKINSON AND JUST, YOU KNOW, KIND OF SEE WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH. AND I'M ALSO INTERESTED IN I KNOW SOME OF THEM HAVE REALLY GOOD STUDENT REPS, I THINK BATTLEGROUND AND EVERGREEN FOR SURE.

SO DEFINITELY REACHING OUT TO THEM AND KIND OF LEARNING FROM THEM HOW THAT WORKS, OR WATCHING SOME OF THEIR BOARD MEETINGS.

AND WE CAN MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS THERE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT WILL HELP US, YOU KNOW, FINE TUNE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO OURSELVES. AGAIN, I DID THE BUDGET COMMITTEE WITH COREY, AND IT WAS AGAIN, IT WAS THE FIRST MEETING THAT WE HAD AND WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR, I THINK, A CHAIR AND A CO-CHAIR FOR THAT. OH, WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THAT.

SO IT WAS KIND OF JUST OUR FIRST MEETING WITH THE NEW PEOPLE.

AND WE'LL START BACK IN JANUARY, I THINK, TO DO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AND THEN I DID ATTEND A CTE ADVISORY MEETING WITH DEREK.

IT WAS MORE NOT ME AS A BOARD MEMBER, BUT ME AS A CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS OWNER.

I WAS THERE REPRESENTING MY MY BUSINESS AND TALKING ABOUT JUST SOME CHANGES COMING UP.

[00:30:05]

BUT THERE'S A BUNCH OF STAFF THERE. WE MET IN THE, IN THE LIBRARY.

AND SO JUST MOVING FORWARD. JOHN GERARD WAS THERE TALKING ABOUT TRADE TUESDAY, WHICH I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD ABOUT BEFORE, HOW HE'S TRYING TO GET TRADE TUESDAYS INTO SCHOOL TO GET KIDS INTERESTED INTO THE TRADES AND WEARING, LIKE, YOU KNOW, GEAR REPRESENTING LOCAL BUSINESSES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO IT WAS REALLY A GREAT MEETING THAT I HAD WITH DEREK ON THAT.

SO. AND NOW I'LL PASS IT TO AND I WANT TO ACTUALLY, I WOULD BE I'M VERY INTERESTED IN THIS ONE-MINUTE MEETING.

SO CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE ONE MINUTE MEETING.

YEAH. AS SOON AS I READ IT. THE OTHER BIG HITTING THING I THOUGHT THIS, I THOUGHT WSSDA, WAS A VERY REPRESENTED TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY, WHERE BEFORE IT'S KIND OF, YOU KNOW, VERY THEORETICAL.

ALL THIS STUFF. I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS, LIKE, REALLY TRANSPARENT AND HONEST.

AND ONE OF MY BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS IS TALKING ABOUT HOW WE'RE MOVING FROM A KNOWLEDGE BASED ECONOMY TO A SKILLS BASED ECONOMY.

AND SO PREPARING OUR KIDS WITH ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE ENOUGH ANYMORE.

THEY NEED TO HAVE THE SKILLS TO HOW DO I FIND THE KNOWLEDGE? HOW DO I DO THE THING, YOU KNOW, HOW DO I USE AI TO DO WHATEVER I NEED TO DO? AND SO THAT WAS A BIG AJA. AND I ALSO HAD JUST TOLD ONE OF YOU TOO, THAT I SORT OF EXPECTED TO ENCOUNTER A SENSE OF THE SKY IS FALLING BECAUSE WITH ALL THE BUDGET WOES AND HOW WE'RE ALL REALLY STRUGGLING.

BUT I DIDN'T FEEL THAT AT ALL. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS DID.

IT WAS IT WAS VERY POSITIVE AND UPLIFTING. AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S LIKE PLAYING MUSIC ON THE DECK OF THE TITANIC OR WHETHER IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, LIFE NEEDS TO GO ON AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK WITH WHAT WE HAVE AND WE'LL GET IT DONE.

AND WE'VE GOT A JOB TO DO AND WE GOT TO KEEP ON DOING IT.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY POSITIVE. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S THE LAST.

I WOULD TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT. IT WAS NICE. I MEAN, YOU STILL HEARD ABOUT FISCAL AND BUDGETARY THINGS, BUT IT WAS NICE TO GET DOWN TO WHAT IT IS THAT WE REALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

IT WAS NOT TO BE TOO FLUFFY ABOUT IT, BUT IT WAS KIND OF THE WHOLE CONFERENCE WAS KIND OF ENERGIZING TO ME.

YEAH. OKAY. IS THERE ANY OTHER GO BACKS? ALL RIGHT.

THAT WAS LIKE ONE OF OUR LONGEST BOARD COMMUNICATIONS WE'VE HAD IN A WHILE.

SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU GUYS ALL FOR THAT AND FOR ALL OF THE WORK YOU GUYS DO TOO.

I KNOW WE SPEND A LOT OF NIGHTS DOING THINGS AND GOING TO COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND SO APPRECIATE THAT.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM 7.A, THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.

[7. SYSTEMS/PATHWAYS]

THANK YOU. SO SHAUN SHAUN IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CLICKING TONIGHT.

WE CAN'T FIND OUR CLICKER, SO OR THE ONE THAT WORKS.

SO AGAIN THANK YOU ALL AS WELL. THIS WAS IT WAS A GREAT, GREAT WEEKEND AND A WONDERFUL CONFERENCE.

I ENJOYED BEING WITH YOU. I'LL COME BACK TO THAT IN A SECOND.

SO SHAUN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. WE'LL ALWAYS START WITH ENROLLMENT.

SO WE ARE DOWN ONE STUDENT FROM SEPTEMBER TO OR FROM OCTOBER TO NOVEMBER.

SO PRETTY, PRETTY STABLE OVERALL. KEEP IN MIND, I ALWAYS SHOW WHAT OUR NUMBERS ARE IN THE CLASSROOM.

SO FTE WOULD BE OUR FULL TIME STUDENTS. SO NOT NECESSARILY STUDENTS WHO ARE HOME SCHOOLED AND TAKING A PROGRAM WITH US OR CASCADIA TECH OR RUNNING START. KIM'S NUMBERS. CONTRASTLY ARE ALWAYS GOING TO INCLUDE ALL OF THOSE BECAUSE IT'S ANY STUDENT WE HAVE ANY FUNDING FOR WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IT'S 100% FUNDING, 50% FUNDING OR OR A POINT ONE OF FUNDING.

I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. SO AGAIN, WE CAME IN JUST ABOUT 100 STUDENTS OVER PROJECTION.

AND OVERALL, LIKE I SAID, THIS MONTH WE'RE DOWN ONE STUDENT.

BUT IF YOU LOOK ACROSS THE BOARD IN MOST OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE PRETTY STABLE FOR WE ALWAYS SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A DROP AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL.

SO YOU SEE THAT NEGATIVE EIGHT FROM ONE MONTH TO THE NEXT.

THAT'S JUST VERY COMMON FROM FOR A LARGE COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL.

RELATIVELY SPEAKING, THAT'S REALLY NOT THAT MANY. WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANY STUDENTS. AND SOME OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE MOVING INTO OTHER SCHOOLS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. WE LOST TWO AT OUR PBL CAMPUS. ON THE HIGH SCHOOL SIDE, NONE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL SIDE.

SO AGAIN, VERY, VERY TYPICAL FOR HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THEN HAYES FREEDOM WAS DOWN ONE THIS MONTH.

AT MIDDLE SCHOOL AGAIN, PRETTY STABLE ACROSS THE BOARD.

SKYRIDGE WHO ACTUALLY SAW A LITTLE BIT OF A SPIKE, AS YOU KNOW.

SO, LOSING TWO WE, WE'RE SORT OF EXPECTING THAT TO HAPPEN IN ONE OVER AT LIBERTY.

PRETTY CONSISTENT AT CAMAS CONNECT. AT THE ELEMENTARY SIDE AGAIN, VERY STABLE ACROSS OUR DISTRICT.

DOROTHY FOX HAD NO MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER. YOU SEE 2 MORE GAIN OVER AT GRASS VALLEY AS WELL AS PRUNE HILL.

THERE WAS A PLUS THREE, BUT THEN THERE'S A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT THOSE STUDENTS MOVED INTO TOWN BECAUSE THERE'S SOME,

[00:35:01]

LACAMAS LAKE, WE HAD A SPIKE. SO AGAIN, MINUS THREE THERE, NOTHING TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT TOO MUCH.

AND THEN OF COURSE, PRESCHOOL STAYS CONSISTENT.

SO ANY THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS COMMENTS ABOUT THAT? OKAY, SHAUNA. AS YOU GUYS MENTIONED, THE TALENT SHOW OVER AT NOVEMBER 1ST WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.

I LOVE THE PICTURE TO THE RIGHT TO SHOW HOW MANY STAFF WERE REALLY INVOLVED IN THAT SHOW.

SO IT'S GROWING EVERY YEAR. THIS WAS THE THIRD ANNUAL ONE.

AND THEN YOU SEE THE PICTURE ON THE LEFT WHERE YOU SEE A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS KIND OF COMING TOGETHER.

MANY TIMES THESE TEACHERS DON'T GET TO WORK TOGETHER.

THIS IS REALLY THE ONE TIME OF YEAR WHERE THEY COME TOGETHER AND SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS.

I'M ASSUMING THIS IS AMAZING FOR KIDS TO SEE TO TO SEE.

OKAY, THERE'S A LOT OF TALENT THAT'S BEING TAUGHT TO ME.

SO THANK YOU ALL FOR BRINGING THAT UP. ANOTHER GREAT SHOW.

JUST TO KIND OF HIT THE THREE, OUR THREE OF OUR COMMITTEES, I PUT AN ARTS ADVISORY, BUDGET AND CITIZENS.

YOU GUYS REALLY TALKED A LOT ABOUT THIS ALREADY.

SO JUST A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS ON WHERE WE ARE WITH EACH OF THIS COMMITTEE.

SO AS COREY AND MATTHEW SAID, MISSION AND VISION IS REALLY STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR ARTS COMMITTEE.

I LOVE THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE. THEY ARE. SERIOUSLY, I'M SO INTIMIDATED BY THIS GROUP BECAUSE ACROSS THE BOARD, THEY'RE SO TALENTED AND DEEPLY ENGAGED IN THIS WORK ACROSS THE MANY COMMUNITIES, NOT JUST CAMAS.

AS COREY SAID, THERE'S ALREADY SUBCOMMITTEES BEING ESTABLISHED.

AND WE HAVE A LEADER FOR EACH OF THOSE COMMITTEES SO THAT WORK WILL CONTINUE.

AS WELL AS WE'RE IDENTIFYING FIRST STEPS. I REALLY LIKE THE DIRECTION WE'RE GOING.

AND SOME OF THIS WAS COREY'S INSPIRATION ALONG WITH SARAH AND FAUNA IS REALLY DIGGING INTO WHERE WE ARE AS A DISTRICT AND REALLY BRINGING ARTS, FINE ARTS, AND ALL OF THE DIFFERENT ARTS BACK TO THE FOREFRONT AND REALLY PUTTING A SPOTLIGHT ON THAT WORK.

SO I'M REALLY HOPEFUL THAT OUR COMMITTEE AND OUR COMMUNITY WILL START TO SEE THAT OUR DISTRICT, OUR BOARD, IS JUST AS COMMITTED TO ARTS AS WE ARE TO TO ANY OTHER AREA.

BUDGET COMMITTEE IS MOVING FORWARD, AS YOU SAID, MATTHEW, MATT AND KIM KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK, REALLY SHOWING SOME NEW INFORMATION AS WELL AS SOME FORMER INFORMATION.

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT SOME OF THE NEW BLOOD THERE.

AND WE'LL HAVE SOME, SOME CHAIRS COMING UP. FORECASTING FUTURE BUDGETS SOON.

WE'LL GET SOME CONSIDERATIONS FOR ME AND THE BOARD AS WE LOOK TO ADOPT A BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.

SO, ONE OF THE THINGS WE PROBABLY WILL TALK ABOUT SOONER THAN LATER IS THE LEVY.

EVEN THOUGH THE LEVY DOESN'T HIT UNTIL 2028, WE'LL HAVE TO START THAT CAMPAIGN PROCESS IN 2027.

I REALLY AM INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THESE FINANCIAL MINDS THINK ABOUT MAXING THE LEVY.

LEVEE, MINIMIZING THE LEVEE OR WHERE THEY FALL.

SO I CAN GIVE YOU A GOOD RECOMMENDATION. AND THEN OUR CITIZEN ADVISORY, YOU GUYS SPOKE A LOT ABOUT AI, AND WE HEARD IT LOUD AND CLEAR AT THE CONFERENCE.

WE ARE TACKLING AI THIS YEAR, AS YOU KNOW. BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE A LITTLE QUICKER.

WE FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S SOME MODEL POLICY OUT THERE THAT MANY OF THE SUPERINTENDENTS WEREN'T EVEN AWARE OF.

SO IT KIND OF KIND OF QUIETLY SNUCK IN. AND SO WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT TO OUR COMMITTEE NEXT.

I ALREADY SPOKE TO DOREEN ABOUT THAT. AND SO IT'LL SPEED UP OUR WORK PROBABLY BY SIX MONTHS, I WOULD SAY. SO, I HOPE THAT WE'LL HAVE SOME MODEL POLICY FOR CAMAS THAT YOU CAN ADOPT AS A BOARD.

I THINK OUR GOAL REALLY THIS YEAR HAS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR EDUCATORS AND OUR STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY ABOUT IT. WE DON'T WANT TO DIVE IN TOO QUICK TO WHERE WE'RE MAKING MISTAKES WITH IT, BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL, RIGHT? SO I DO AGREE WE'RE PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT BEHIND WHERE WE SHOULD BE, BUT GIVE US ABOUT SIX MONTHS AND OR LESS AND WE'LL BE RIGHT WHERE WE NEED TO BE.

OKAY. I THINK THAT'S GOOD THERE. LEGISLATIVELY, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU.

EXCUSE ME. THE BOARD GIVING ME THAT OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THESE PRIORITIES BEFORE THEY WERE ADOPTED BECAUSE WE WANTED TO MOVE ON THAT RECEPTION, AS YOU KNOW, THE SESSION DOESN'T START UNTIL JANUARY.

AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT THE BOARD WILL ADOPT THESE TONIGHT.

BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO GET THESE POTENTIAL PRIORITIES IN FRONT AND IN FRONT OF OUR LEGISLATORS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT RECEPTION. THE KIDS ABSOLUTELY STOLE THE SHOW.

CASEY AND CHLOE FROM CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL REALLY KICKED IT OFF AND TALKED ABOUT THAT PROTOTYPICAL MODEL.

WE HEARD THAT LOUD AND CLEAR AT WSSDA. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN PROBABLY A DECADE OR MORE THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE A HEAVY VOICE AT THE TABLE TALKING ABOUT JUST TURNING THIS MODEL ON ITS EAR AND GETTING SOMETHING NEW FOR OUR STATE.

AGAIN, I, MY HOPE WOULD BE IT'S 3 TO 5 YEARS AWAY, BUT.

OH. THANK YOU. BUT WE NEVER KNOW. SOMETIMES WE MOVE A LITTLE TOO SLOWLY ON THAT AS WELL.

SO WHAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR THIS YEAR, AND AGAIN, I HOPE THE BOARD WILL ADOPT THESE TONIGHT IS REALLY PRIORITY ONE IS LOOKING AT THAT

[00:40:02]

DEREK IS ALSO ON A DIFFERENT COMMITTEE. AND THEN WE HAVE JEFF SNELL AND SOME OTHERS THAT ARE ON A UW COMMITTEE OF SUPERINTENDENTS AND FORMER SUPERINTENDENTS.

SO WE'RE REALLY HITTING THIS FROM ALL ENDS. AND I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THAT REPRESENTATIVE SANTOS, WHO'S VERY, VERY INTEGRAL AND LEADS THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE, SHE'S LEADING ONE OF THOSE GROUPS.

SO I HOPE YOU GOT THE SAME FEELING I DID THAT THERE'S SOME MOVEMENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

SECOND PRIORITY IS, OF COURSE, MSOC. SO THAT'S OUR BUILDING SUPPLIES AND OPERATING COSTS.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN VERY CONSERVATIVE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND COST CONTAINMENT AROUND OUR MSOCS.

HOWEVER, WE DO REALLY NEED THE STATE TO CONTINUE TO ADD TO OUR MSOC.

IT'S PROBABLY THE ONLY TRUE ADD OUTSIDE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION THAT WE'RE ASKING.

I REALLY FEEL LIKE OUR HIT WITH THE LEGISLATORS THIS YEAR IS WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY ASKING FOR MORE AS MUCH AS WE ARE MAINTAINING AND SUSTAINING WHAT WE'RE ALREADY GETTING.

BUT KEEP IN MIND, IN 2027 AND BEYOND, WE DO NEED MORE.

AND THEN THE OVERALL MESSAGE AGAIN, SPECIAL ED BEING PRIORITY NUMBER THREE, STILL TRYING TO HIT SPECIAL ED AT THE AT THE POINT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE FUNDED.

BUT THAT OVERALL MESSAGE IS PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, WHATEVER YOU DO OR DON'T DO, PROTECT THE RESOURCES THAT WE ALREADY HAVE.

WE CANNOT AFFORD CUTS TO EDUCATION. AND AGAIN, THAT'S ON THE AGENDA FOR IN JUST A LITTLE BIT.

YOU SEE THE LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM THAT WE HAVE OUT, AND AGAIN ONCE THIS IS ONCE THIS IS ADOPTED, WE CAN SEND THIS OUT FAR AND WIDE. THANKS, SHAUNA.

JUST A COUPLE SHOTS FROM THAT RECEPTION, YOU SEE.

AGAIN, THE STUDENTS ON THE TOP LEFT, CASEY AND CHLOE.

CLINT WILLIAMS REPRESENTED OUR PRINCIPLES AND SPOKE REALLY WONDERFULLY ABOUT MSOCS.

AND THEN YOU SEE THE FISHEYE LENS THERE AT THE BOTTOM.

IT WAS A REALLY WELL ATTENDED AND WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE NOT JUST OUR CURRENT LEGISLATORS, BUT WE HAD ADRIAN CORTEZ AND WHAT ISN'T WHO ISN'T PICTURED IS MONICA STONIER, WHO CAME A LITTLE LATER.

SO NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE REPS FROM RIGHT IN OUR AREA, BUT OUR NEXT NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO MENTION MONICA IS NOT THERE, BUT ALSO BACK IN THE OTHER CORNER IS THANKS TO CHARTWELLS FOR PUTTING TOGETHER SOME FOOD AND DRINKS. I KNOW THEY WORKED VERY HARD ON ON REGIONAL ITEMS FOR ALL THE ATTENDEES, SO THAT REALLY WAS QUITE SPECIAL.

SO THANK YOU. YEAH, I APPRECIATE YOU RICK, AND REMINDED ME OF THAT.

THANKS, MATTHEW. WE HAD TWO PTO/PTA MEETINGS THIS THIS MONTH.

THANK YOU TO BAMINI AND MATTHEW FOR COMING. TO TO TWO OF THOSE OR ONE OF THOSE MET WITH THE TEAM OVER AT PRUNE HILL AND THEN OVER AT GRASS VALLEY.

LOTS OF REALLY, REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS. SOME GOOD STUFF GOING ON.

PRUNE HILL, THEY'RE ADOPTING AN OUTDOOR CLASSROOM SPACE WITH SOME OF THEIR FUNDS.

GRASS VALLEY HAD A REALLY BIG TURNOUT. AND SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AROUND FINANCE AND ENROLLMENT BOUNDARY EXCEPTIONS WERE REALLY SPOT ON.

THAT'S A REALLY GROWING AREA THERE. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE PARENTS ARE PAYING A LOT OF ATTENTION TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN REAL ESTATE THERE AND HOW THAT'S AFFECTING OUR ENROLLMENT. SO REALLY, REALLY GOOD PTO AND PTA MEETINGS.

AS MATTHEW SAID, ROMEO AND JULIET ABSOLUTELY BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE.

THERE'S SOME SHOTS FROM THAT PLAY, A MODERN, A MODERN VERSION A LITTLE BIT.

IT REMINDED ME A LITTLE BIT OF LIKE THE LEONARDO DICAPRIO VERSION THAT CAME OUT.

I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S LIKE 20 YEARS AGO NOW. AND SO IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE THERE ON A SATURDAY.

PRETTY NEAT THAT SO MANY PEOPLE CAME OUT ON THE WEEKEND.

AND IT WAS COOL THAT ALL OF US WERE AT THE SAME, THE SAME SHOW TOGETHER.

THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN. VETERANS DAY ASSEMBLIES.

AMAZING. AMAZING STUFF. EACH SCHOOL REALLY TAKES ON THEIR OWN THEME.

AND, AND WE HAD STAFF WHO ARE VETERANS. WE HAVE RELATIVES WHO ARE VETERANS.

AND WHAT I LOVED ABOUT IT IS OUR EDUCATORS REALLY GO INTO THOSE ASSEMBLIES MAKING SURE THE KIDS HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF NOT JUST VETERANS DAY, BUT HONORING OUR VETERANS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE YEAR.

THAT SEEMED TO BE THE COMMON THREAD. AND I WAS ABLE TO HIT AS MANY AS I COULD.

SO REALLY, REALLY GOOD, GOOD VETERANS DAY ASSEMBLIES THAT STARTED EVEN BEFORE VETERANS DAY AND WENT AFTER VETERANS DAY JUST BECAUSE OF HOW WONKY THE HOLIDAY LANDED THIS YEAR.

SO THOSE WERE GREAT. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SPENDING SOME TIME WITH FAUNA WOLF IN HER MUSIC CLASS OVER AT WOODBURN THIS MONTH, AND I POINTED TO THE PROFILE OF A GRADUATE, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS I POINTED OUT TO FAUNA, AND SHE DOES SOME OF THIS JUST ORGANICALLY AND SOME OF IT IS INTENTIONAL, IS HOW SHE HITS SO MANY PARTS OF THAT PROFILE.

IN A MUSIC CLASS, THERE WAS DIFFERENT CREATIVE SKILLS BEING USED.

SHE USES MATH AND LITERATURE AND HISTORY. INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE STUFF.

YOU CAN EVEN SEE YOU KNOW, WORKING WITH THE KIDS ON SOME FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS JUST PACKED A LOT IN,

[00:45:01]

BUT I LIKE WHEN WE CAN TIE IN OUR ARTS INTO THE PROFILE OF A GRADUATE.

SO KUDOS TO FAUNA AND HER TEAM OVER THERE. THEY'RE DOING GOOD STUFF OVER AT HER SCHOOL.

JUST TO REITERATE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE, OUR PRINCIPALS, COUNCIL, AND COMING TOGETHER ON A CONTINUOUS GROWTH AT THE WORKSHOP.

JUST A REMINDER THAT WE HAVE DISTRICT VISION THIS THIS YEAR THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR SCHOOLS.

SO OUR SCHOOLS, AS YOU KNOW, WILL ADAPT THEIR THEORY OF ACTION TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL.

BUT WHAT WE WANTED THIS YEAR IS MORE ALIGNMENT ACROSS THE DISTRICT, SPECIFICALLY AT ELEMENTARY AND AT SECONDARY.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE OUR THEORY OF ACTION AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL, OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR AND THEIR TEAMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ADAPT THAT.

I HOPE THAT YOU GAIN THAT FROM THE WORKSHOP. BUT JUST A REMINDER, REMINDER OF THOSE THEORIES OF ACTION AND WHERE WE'RE HEADED.

THERE'S A SHOT IN THE VAN. IT WAS THE CHAUFFEUR.

APPRECIATED YOU BEING WITH YOU GUYS. IS HONORED TO SERVE WITH YOU.

AND FOR YOU. NOT EVERY SUPERINTENDENT CAN SAY THAT HONESTLY.

AND IT'S JUST WE HAD A LOT OF FUN AND GOT A LOT OF WORK DONE UP THERE.

AS YOU KNOW WE, ONE OF THE MESSAGES FROM THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER KIND OF ALLUDING TO WHAT YOU SAID, CONNIE, IS US NOT JUST BEING HUMAN DOINGS, BUT FOCUSING ON US AS HUMAN BEINGS.

AND I FEEL LIKE OUR DISTRICT IS DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR FOCUS IN ON BEING A WELLNESS NAVIGATOR AND A SELF-EMPOWERED LEARNER.

SO THAT RESONATED WITH ME A LOT THAT WE DO LOOK AT THAT WHOLE CHILD IN OUR DISTRICT, AND THE TEACHERS ARE DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB AND HAVE OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE CLEARLY SEEING THE WORK THAT OUR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS AND PARENTS AND ADMINISTRATORS ARE DOING AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, OR ESPECIALLY AROUND SEL. THEY'RE TELLING US LOUDLY AND CLEARLY THAT AS OUR SIXTH GRADERS ARE COMING IN, THEY'RE FEELING A KINDNESS, THEY'RE FEELING A RESPECT AND A AND A SELF-RESPECT.

AND WE'RE EVEN HEARING THAT FROM OUR 9TH GRADE TEACHER SAYING THANK YOU.

AND IT'S STARTING TO REALLY RESONATE THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

SO IT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE AREAS I FELT WE'RE HITTING A HOME RUN.

AND SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SUPPORTING THAT. AGAIN, THOSE WERE TAKEAWAYS THAT I SAW.

SO IN TALKING TO EACH OF YOU LEVERAGING AI I PROMISE TO YOU IS THAT WE'LL GET MOVING.

STRONGER STUDENT VOICE. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF WORK. I'VE ALREADY BEEN TEXTING KATIE LIKE CRAZY, SAYING, HEY, HOW CAN WE LEVERAGE SOME OF THE WORK WE'RE DOING WITH SAC? AND ALREADY THAT JANUARY 12TH WORKSHOP. WE'RE PLANNING FOR SOME STUDENT VOICE THERE.

SO I'LL CONNECT WITH KATIE NEXT WEEK ON THAT.

AND THEN AGAIN, I DID ENJOY HEARING HOW WE CAN LEVERAGE SOME OF THAT POST-SECONDARY DATA AND LEARN HOW TO ACCESS THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

SO SAME TAKEAWAYS. AND IT SOUNDED LIKE WE WERE ALL IN PRETTY MUCH THE SAME PAGE.

AND THAT'S IT IS BATMAN AND I HAVE DOREEN ON IT.

WE'RE TRYING TO LOCATE WHO BATMAN IS. BECAUSE I DO FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HIS KINDNESS.

AND SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE IF WE CAN GET HIM TO BECOME A MEME.

HE'S BECOMING A HE'S BECOMING A MEME. AND I DON'T LIKE HE'S NOT.

GOOD CREDIT. AND WE WILL FIND BATMAN. SOME COMPENSATION FOR YOUR CONSTANT USE BECAUSE, YEAH.

OTHERWISE, JOHN, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A T-SHIRT WITH YOU. THE BILL. NO, BUT IT'S GOOD TO HAVE IT'S GOOD TO HAVE OUR STUDENTS BE THE ONE TO REMIND US. YEAH. THANK YOU. AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU. THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU, JOHN, FOR THAT REPORT. NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO 7.B THE MONTHLY BUDGET REPORT FROM KIM.

WE HAVE TWO OF THEM THIS MONTH SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER.

SEPTEMBER IS IN THERE. I'M NOT GOING TO GO OVER IT OBVIOUSLY, SINCE WE'RE JUST GOING TO DIVE RIGHT INTO OCTOBER.

SO YOU HAVE THE ACTUAL REPORT THAT HAS ALL THE NUMBERS ON IT, AND I'M GOING TO JUST SHOW IT IN CHART FORMAT THAT YOU CAN TIE THE NUMBERS TO THE ACTUAL PRESENTATION. SO ENROLLMENT LIKE JOHN WAS SAYING I CAN'T USE MY GLASSES FOR THAT. THERE'S A DISCREPANCY BETWEEN HIS AND MINE.

MINE INCLUDES THE RUNNING START STUDENTS. SO OUR AVERAGE FOR NOVEMBER HAS IS AT 7046, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED. SO THAT'S GOOD.

BUT WE ARE DECLINING IN ENROLLMENT LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

FOR REVENUES FOR THE GENERAL FUND. WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW WAS, YOU KNOW, AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR FOR OCTOBER, WE SHOULD BE SPENDING 17% OR RECEIVING 17% IN REVENUES.

BUT NOT ALL OF OUR REVENUE SOURCES COME IN EVENLY LIKE THIS SHOWS.

AND SO, FOR EXAMPLE, LOCAL TAXES WE RECEIVED 37% OF THAT.

AND THAT MIGHT SOUND LIKE, OH, WOW, WE GOT A LOT MORE.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE TREND OF HOW MUCH WE GET EACH MONTH, 37% IS SPOT ON.

[00:50:01]

THEY DIDN'T RECORD STUFF CORRECTLY, BUT NORMALLY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN 37%.

AND THEN NONLOCAL TAX AGAIN WE RECEIVED MORE.

THAT'S USUALLY BECAUSE WE'RE RECEIVING MORE FEES FROM THE KIDS PAYMENTS OF THINGS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT TREND WE HAVE RECEIVED A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WE NORMALLY WOULD.

SO THAT'S A GOOD THING THAT WE'VE RECEIVED A LITTLE BIT MORE REVENUE.

OOPS. DON'T WANT TO GO THAT WAY YET. AND THEN OUR GENERAL STATE REVENUES IS SPOT ON WITH WHAT WE NORMALLY WOULD GET FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER. AS WELL AS THE STATE SPECIAL PURPOSE.

THAT'S ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT DOWN BECAUSE WE DON'T GET LIKE THE NATIONAL BOARDS UNTIL JULY.

WE DON'T GET TRANSPORTATION REALLY FUNDED FULLY AT THE RIGHT RATE UNTIL JANUARY, AND THEN WE DON'T GET SAFETY NET UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER. SO THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE JUST DON'T GET FOR QUITE A WHILE.

AND AGAIN, A REASON WHY WE NEED FUND BALANCE TO HELP US SUPPORT US WHEN WE DON'T GET ALL OF OUR REVENUES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR EVENLY.

THE FEDERAL. WE ALWAYS ARE A MONTH BEHIND BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE CLAIMING IS FROM THE PRIOR MONTH.

SO FOR FOR OCTOBER, WE ARE CLAIMING SEPTEMBER'S PAYROLL AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE STUFF.

AND THEN FINALLY THE OTHER REVENUES THAT WAS A REIMBURSEMENT BY THE ESD FOR OUR UNEMPLOYMENT AND OUR LNA.

SO, THEY GAVE ALL THE DISTRICTS A REIMBURSEMENT FOR SOME EXTRA MONEY THEY HAD IN THE POOL.

SO EXPENDITURES ALL OF THOSE ARE LESS THAN THE WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT AT 17% FOR THE YEAR, BUT THAT COULD BE MISLEADING. YOU MAY THINK LIKE, OH, WE'RE SAVING MONEY, WHICH WE ARE.

BUT I ALSO LIKE TO LOOK AT HOW ARE WE SPENDING IN EACH OF THESE PROGRAMS AND WHAT IS THAT TREND AND ARE WE ONLINE.

AND SO, FOR THE REGULAR INSTRUCTION, WHICH IS OUR MAIN ONE, THE BASIC WE ARE LOWER THAN, THEN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PRIOR YEARS.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF THOSE MAJOR CUTS. SO THAT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT WE'RE SEEING THAT THAT TREND IN THE CHARTS.

AND THEN SPECIAL ED, IT'S ALMOST THE SAME, BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE.

BUT THEN WE HAVE INCREASED ENROLLMENT. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE INCREASED EXPENDITURES.

BUT IT IS REALLY CLOSE. AND THEN VOC ED THIS ONE IS ONE WHERE WE'LL KIND OF FINE TUNE DURING THE YEAR ONCE WE SEE WHERE THE KIDS SIT AND MOVE SOME OF, BECAUSE WE MOVE LIKE COUNSELORS, OTHER EMPLOYEES INTO COMMUNITY OR NOT COMMUNITY, VOC ED. SO WE MAY MOVE SOME BACK OUT TO BASIC ED.

BUT, SO, IT'S A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, BUT IT'S, IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT'S OF A BAD NATURE, I GUESS, IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY. AND THEN COMPENSATORY ED.

THAT'S YOUR LAP TITLE. PROGRAMS. AND THAT IS LOWER AND EXPENDITURES OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS. IT'S A LITTLE BIT HIGHER, BUT THAT'S GRANTS. SO NOT A BIG DEAL IF WE'RE SPENDING MORE IN THOSE.

AND THEN WE HAVE OUR COMMUNITY ED, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.

AND EXPENDITURES IN 97 IS HIGHER. WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE HIGHER IN PROGRAM 97 BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR INSURANCE PAYMENT RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. SO THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO HIT THE BOOKS.

AND IT IS THE ONE AREA WHEN WE TALK ABOUT NON-DISCRETIONARY, THE NON-DISCRETIONARY MSOCS, IT'S IN THE SUPPORT SERVICES. YOU CAN'T CONTROL THOSE UTILITIES, INSURANCE, ALL THOSE AREAS WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO JUST GO WITH INFLATION AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THOSE. THOSE ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

SO PROJECTED, SO TO SEE THE ENDING FUND BALANCE.

THIS IS THE THIS IS WHERE WE STARTED. THE SCHOOL YEAR WAS AT THE 7 MILLION.

RIGHT NOW SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER IS WHAT ACTUAL IS WHERE OUR FUND BALANCE IS AT.

SO IT'S AT A LITTLE OVER 11 MILLION RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PROJECTING OUT FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.

WHAT WE THINK OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE WILL BE EACH MONTH.

WE WANT IT TO STAY ABOVE THAT 2 MILLION THAT WE'RE SHOWING RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S WHERE IF WE GO BELOW THAT, WE NEED TO HAVE THE NEXT MONTH'S ACCOUNTS PAYABLE COVERED FOR US BECAUSE WE DON'T GET APPORTIONMENT TILL THE END OF THE MONTH.

SO WE NEED TO AT LEAST HAVE 2 MILLION IN THERE. OTHERWISE WE HAVE TO START BORROWING. AND BASED ON WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW WITH PROJECTIONS,

[00:55:07]

I'LL BE DOING ANOTHER PROJECTION IN DECEMBER ONCE DECEMBER'S PAYROLL IS DONE.

SO WHEN WE HAVE OUR JANUARY MEETING, I'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER PICTURE OF HOW WE LOOK AT THAT TIME.

AND THEN THIS IS JUST A REMINDER OF WHERE OUR ENDING FUND BALANCE IS.

SORRY WITH THE HIGHLIGHTS OF WSSDA AND ALL THE POSITIVE.

THAN I COME ALONG. BUT THERE IS A LOT OF GREAT THINGS, AND THERE'S THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE TO TRY AND CHANGE THIS TRAJECTORY. SO I'M OPTIMISTIC THAT WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT.

AND THEN FOR THE OTHER FUNDS, EVERYTHING IS REALLY BEING SPENT AS USUAL, THERE'S NOTHING OFF FOR OCTOBER.

CAPITAL PROJECTS, FUNDS BEEN SPENDING, NORMAL TECH LEVY EXPENDITURES.

THE DEBT SERVICE FUND DOESN'T HAVE ANY EXPENDITURES. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT UNTIL DECEMBER WHEN WE MAKE OUR FIRST DEBT PAYMENT OF THE YEAR. ASB IS JUST DOING STANDARD STUFF AND THEN TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE FUND DOESN'T HAVE ANY EXPENDITURES. WE WILL SEE SOME IN DECEMBER WHEN WE GET THOSE BUSSES THAT WE PURCHASED FROM LAST YEAR COMING IN, BUT OTHERWISE THAT'S ABOUT IT. ANY QUESTIONS? NOT, NOT QUESTION THIS. VERY CLEAR. THANK YOU.

BACK ONE SLIDE. I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WHEN WE WERE UP AT WASDALE, WE SAW A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE ABOUT ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORING SCHOOL DISTRICTS REQUESTING, I THINK IT WAS AN APPORTIONMENT ADVANCE FROM OSPI AND BASICALLY NOT GETTING NOT GETTING THE FULL THING SO THAT THEY'RE IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY'RE FALLING BELOW THAT NUMBER. SO WE DON'T ANTICIPATE BEING IN THAT SITUATION.

NO, NO. AND IF WE WERE TO BORROW, I WOULDN'T BE WANTING TO DO OBVIOUSLY, WE WOULD FIRST GO INTO OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND AND OUR TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE FUND. BECAUSE THEN WE'RE JUST PAYING INTEREST TO OURSELVES AND NOT TO THE STATE OR THE COUNTY IF WE WANTED TO GO TO THE COUNTY.

BUT LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, THE OSPI HAS ALREADY BEEN SAYING THAT THOSE APPORTIONMENT ADVANCES ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND YOU MAY NOT GET THE SAME AMOUNT OR ANYTHING.

AND THEN CLARK COUNTY'S ALSO SAID THE SAME THING.

THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY COULD POTENTIALLY REGISTER OUR WARRANTS IF WE DID NEED TO BORROW.

I THINK AT THE BEGINNING IF BORROWING DOES HAPPEN THEY PROBABLY WILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

BUT IF YOU START SEEING THIS TREND OF ALL, ESPECIALLY THE LARGER DISTRICTS NEEDING TO BORROW MONEY, SOMEONE'S GOING TO RUN OUT OF MONEY. SO ANYWAY, BUT FOR US, WE ARE DOING GREAT.

WE ARE ABOVE THAT, SO. THANK YOU FOR THAT COREY, APPRECIATE IT.

GOOD QUESTION. SO, I KNOW I HAD SOME QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC JUST ABOUT BUDGET.

YEAH. AND I POINTED THEM TO OUR BUDGET AND FINANCE PAGE, WHICH I KNOW YOU'RE YOU'RE UPDATING AS WE'VE DONE BOTH FOR THE BUDGET COMMITTEE AND THEN JUST THE STANDARD PRESENTATIONS. BUT I KNOW WHEN WE WERE AT WASEDA AND SPEAKING TO SOME MEMBERS AND JUST LIKE STUDENT REPS IN PARTICULAR, BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY, THERE WERE A LOT OF STUDENTS AND THERE'S ONLY TYPICALLY LIKE TWO AND A HANDFUL OF DISTRICTS.

SO IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WERE A LOT OF STUDENTS, BUT THEY HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS. AND SO AGAIN, JUST REITERATING THE BUDGET AND FINANCE PAGE THAT YOU HAVE, EVERYTHING'S BEING MAINTAINED THERE.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THESE PRESENTATIONS ARE ON THE THE BOARD MEETING. JUST SO IF PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN VERY APPROACHABLE AND ARE YOU STILL DOING THOSE LUNCHTIME SESSIONS TO EDUCATE FOLKS ON FINANCE? I KNOW YOU HAD LAST MONTH. YEAH. SO THE TEAM IS DOING THOSE ONCE A MONTH FOR THE SECRETARIES ON THE EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAY.

AND SO THOSE ARE CONTINUING TO HAPPEN AND THEY SEEM VERY POSITIVE AND ARE ENJOYING THEM.

SO YEAH. WELL, I'LL BE THANKFUL AND APPRECIATIVE THAT, AGAIN, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TRANSPARENT OUR FINANCES.

AND I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE VERY TRANSPARENT. I APPRECIATE THE.

YEAH, AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING. YEAH. IF THERE'S ANYTHING NEW THAT SOMEBODY WANTS ME TO GO OUT AND EXPLAIN TO ANYONE, TO THE STUDENTS. IF YOU KNOW, I'M SURPRISED THE STUDENTS ARE INTERESTED IN THIS.

MY SON ISN'T. MY 16-YEAR-OLD WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED IN THIS, BUT I WOULD BE.

I WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO ANY OF THEM, SO JUST LET ME KNOW.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. OKAY. WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM 7.C, WHICH IS OUR QUARTERLY EQUITY REPORT BY KATIE.

TWO. HI. IT'S BEEN A LITTLE WHILE. IT FEELS LIKE ANYWAY.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU ALL. AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE LEARNING YOU GOT TO DO AT WSSDA.

IT FEELS GOOD TO BE ENERGIZED BY LEARNING. SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN RIDE THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT.

[01:00:03]

AND THAT COMES FROM AWSP, THEIR FRAMEWORK. AND SO IN MY CONTEXT LOOKING AT THAT, IT'S WITH SYSTEMS, IT'S POLICIES, PROCEDURES, DATA REVIEW LEARNING.

I SUPPORT STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND OUR LEADERSHIP PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

AND THEN OUR CULTURE, JUST OUR STUDENT AND COMMUNITY VOICE BELONGING AND IDENTITY.

SO EQUITY BEING INVOLVED IN ALL OF THOSE AREAS OF OUR SYSTEM.

THE OTHER THING IS OUR KIND OF REGROUNDING IN OUR PROFILE OF A GRADUATE, I THINK IT WAS CONNIE WHO MENTIONED THAT THE SHIFT IN LEARNING IS REALLY MOVING AWAY FROM CONTENT AND ARE MOVING TOWARDS SKILLS. SO, THAT BEING THE THINGS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED ARE IMPORTANT IN OUR PROFILE OF A GRADUATE FOR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO DO AND BE ONCE THEY LEAVE US AS A, AS PEOPLE.

AND SO I WANTED TO JUST BRING THAT FORWARD TO OUR FOCUS AREAS THIS YEAR ARE SELF-EMPOWERED LEARNER AND WELLNESS NAVIGATOR.

AND SO THINKING ABOUT THOSE TWO AND HOW WE CAN ENSURE THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE GETTING ACCESS TO DEVELOPING THOSE SKILLS AS PEOPLE AND LEARNERS IN OUR SYSTEM WHILE WE HAVE THEM. THIS SLIDE IS A LITTLE BIT, IT'S NOT I DON'T THINK, IN THE VERSION THAT YOU HAVE, AND I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF REMIND OURSELVES.

SO, I'M WORKING BIG PICTURE AND THEN I'LL BE GETTING TO SOME OF OUR PANORAMA DATA IN A LITTLE BIT TO AROUND, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING. BUT AS A SYSTEM AND IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WE'VE COMMITTED TO WORKING TOWARDS AND DEVELOPING.

IT'S ALSO REQUIRED A MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORTS.

AND THAT MEANS THAT TIER ONE IS WHAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO AND SHOULD BE RECEIVING IN REGARDS TO SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND WELLNESS, THEIR SUPPORT THROUGH FOR BEHAVIOR AND ATTENDANCE AND ACADEMIC SUPPORT.

WE ALSO IDENTIFIED IN THE BOTTOM THERE. THIS IS A SCREENSHOT FROM OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE BENCHMARK DATA MEASURES FOR THE THREE GROUPS THAT WE'VE RECOGNIZED THROUGH TIME THAT HAVE DISCREPANCIES IN ACHIEVEMENT, IN BELONGING IN LOTS OF AREAS.

AND IT'S FAIRLY CONSISTENT ACROSS THESE THREE GROUPS, WHICH IS OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS, AND OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE LOW INCOME.

SO THEY'RE QUALIFIED FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH.

SO, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THAT, HOW CAN WE SUPPORT ALL STUDENTS TIER ONE, AND WHAT ARE WE DOING THEN TO IDENTIFY THAT MORE STRATEGIC SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS WHO NEED MORE OR SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN ORDER TO SUCCEED.

SO, JUST BRINGING THAT FORWARD, THAT THE WORK THAT WE DO IS WHAT'S GOOD FOR EVERYONE, AND CONTINUING TO GROW IN AREAS THAT WILL SUPPORT STUDENTS WHO NEED SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID ACTUALLY GOING BACK HERE WE DECIDED THIS LAST FALL OR THIS LAST SUMMER THAT WE REALLY NEEDED TO CHOOSE ONE OF THOSE GROUPS AND TO FOCUS ON FOR OUR LEARNING THIS YEAR.

SO WE CHOSE MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS. AND SO WE USED OUR REQUIRED EQUITY, MANDATORY EQUITY TRAINING DAY THIS FALL.

IN THAT WAY. SO DISTRICT WIDE OR EQUITY MODULE 6, THE FOCUS THIS YEAR IS MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS AND OUR PROFILE OF A GRADUATE.

SO WE PARTNERED THOSE TOGETHER. THIS WAS DEVELOPED BY ME, BY KIMBERLY DANIELS, OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNER SPECIALIST, AND REBECCA VON DUERING WHO IS OUR NEW MTSS LEAD.

SO, THE THREE OF US COLLABORATED ON THAT. THE OTHER THING, JUST AS, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO MENTION THE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT ALL STAFF AND DISTRICT LEADERS RECEIVED THIS YEAR WAS AROUND HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION AND BULLYING AND NONDISCRIMINATION.

SO WE HAD KIND OF A COMPACT LESSON IN THAT THAT EVERYBODY RECEIVED IN ADDITION TO THE TRADITIONAL VECTOR TRAININGS AND THINGS THAT WE ALSO PARTICIPATE IN. THIS YEAR'S MODULE, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT INCLUDED, WE HAD A TED TALK FROM A PERSON WHO IS A MULTILINGUAL LEARNER AND SHARED HER EXPERIENCE.

WE HAD A SECTION AROUND UNDERSTANDING BIAS AROUND LANGUAGE SPECIFICALLY.

WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BIAS AND RACE AND BIAS AND ABILITY AND BIAS AND GENDER IDENTITY, BUT WE HADN'T SPECIFICALLY SINGLED OUT LANGUAGE, SO WE TALKED, WE, THERE WAS A COMPONENT FOR THAT.

[01:05:04]

SO WHAT ARE THE FIVE BELIEFS THAT EVERYONE WHO SERVES MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS OR WHO IMPACTS OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM NEED TO HAVE? SO THERE WAS AN ACTIVITY CONNECTED TO THAT. AND THEN WE LEARNED A LITTLE BIT MORE TECHNICAL INFORMATION AROUND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION, THE DIFFERENT PHASES AND TIMELINES, HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR A STUDENT TO DEVELOP SOCIAL LANGUAGE VERSUS ACADEMIC LANGUAGE, FOR EXAMPLE. SO WHAT SOME OF THE APPROPRIATE THINGS MIGHT BE TO EXPECT OF A STUDENT ON AN ASSESSMENT VERSUS A CONVERSATION IN CLASS.

AND WE WERE ABLE TO LEARN ABOUT THE WIDA, WHICH IS THE TEST THAT STUDENTS TAKE OR ASSESSMENT THAT STUDENTS TAKE TO DETERMINE THEIR LEVEL FOR LANGUAGE ACQUISITION SO WE CAN BETTER IDENTIFY HOW THEY MIGHT DO AND WHAT SUPPORTS THEY MIGHT NEED.

SO ALL STAFF RECEIVED THAT TRAINING WITH ALL THOSE COMPONENTS THIS FALL.

THESE WERE THE OUTCOMES FOR THAT DAY. WE TRY TO IDENTIFY OUR RATIONAL OUTCOMES AND OUR EXPERIENTIAL OUTCOMES.

AND HOW IT MIGHT IMPACT STUDENTS, SO THAT YELLOW BOX IS THE BEST PART.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE TOP TWO ARE AROUND AS PROFESSIONALS, WHAT WE MIGHT LEARN AND FEEL IN THE LEARNING.

AND THEN THE LAST ONE THERE IS HOW WILL THAT IMPACT STUDENTS? AND IT'S NOT ONLY THEIR LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT AND ACADEMIC NEEDS, BUT THAT OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS WILL EXPERIENCE A SENSE OF BELONGING AT SCHOOL.

ALL RIGHT, JOHN, I LOVED THAT YOU HAD THIS IN YOUR SLIDESHOW.

THANK YOU. THIS IS CONNECTED TO OUR SCHOOL GOALS, SO I'M NOT GOING TO READ THESE.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THESE. I JUST THESE ARE. THIS IS JUST A REMINDER THAT OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR TEACHERS SUPPORT OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS IN OUR CLASSROOMS EVERY DAY, IN THE CAFETERIAS, IN OUR HALLWAYS.

AND OUR PRINCIPALS EACH HAVE A UNIQUE GOAL AND HAVE BEEN ASKED TO TARGET A SPECIFIC GROUP BASED ON OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. AND WE HAVE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE USED THE, OR WHO ARE TARGETING OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS.

SO WE GAVE THEM THE CHOICE IN THAT BECAUSE EACH SCHOOL COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT.

THEY REVIEWED THEIR OWN DATA AND GOT TO KIND OF IDENTIFY AND SHAPE THEIR OWN GOALS.

BUT I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THAT SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE SPECIFICALLY TARGETING OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNER POPULATION.

ALL RIGHT. AND OUR PANORAMA REVIEW. I DID HONE DOWN THE DATA THAT YOU SAW.

YOU HAD ALL THE DATA IN YOUR SLIDESHOW, AND THAT MIGHT BE WHAT'S VIEWABLE.

BUT I DID HONE IN ON WHAT IT IS WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IN REGARDS TO MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS AND THE TOPICS I'VE ALREADY SHARED.

SO OUR PANORAMA SURVEY, THE STUDENTS TAKE THIS TWICE A YEAR, FALL AND SPRING.

YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS. AND OUR PREVIOUS TOPICS ARE ON THE SCREEN.

SO WE HAVE ASSESSED OR SURVEYED STUDENTS AROUND SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS, WHICH IS TYPICALLY HIGH IN CAMAS.

WE'VE, WE ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL AT THAT. SOCIAL AWARENESS, EMOTION REGULATION, GROWTH MINDSET AND THEN TWO SUBSETS WHICH ARE THE VALUING OF MATH AND SENSE OF BELONGING. WE REVISITED WHAT THOSE CATEGORIES WERE THIS YEAR FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, EITHER BECAUSE THE SURVEY WAS LIKE IN THE CASE OF GROWTH MINDSET, THE QUESTIONS WERE ASKING SOMETHING THAT FELT LIKE STUDENTS COULD ANSWER IT IN MULTIPLE WAYS. AND SO OUR DATA WOULDN'T BE RELIABLE IN AN ACTIONABLE WAY.

THE OTHER ONES WERE ALSO THINGS THAT WEREN'T BEING THE DATA WASN'T BEING USED IN IN ACTION BY OUR PRINCIPALS.

AND SO, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE WERE GATHERING WOULD BE RELEVANT FOR THEM AND THE GOALS THAT THEY HAD FOR THEIR SCHOOLS.

SO, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE ADDED LEARNING STRATEGIES, WHICH I WOULD SAY HAS MORE TO DO WITH GROWTH MINDSET THAN THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED.

SO ASK THINGS LIKE YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET STUCK, HOW COMFORTABLE DO YOU FEEL IN TRYING A NEW STRATEGY OR ASKING FOR HELP OR GETTING ANOTHER RESOURCE? SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO THOSE WERE THE FOUR.

WE ALSO NARROWED IT DOWN BECAUSE THE SURVEY CAN GET CAN FEEL QUITE LONG FOR STUDENTS.

AND SO IF WE'RE GATHERING INFORMATION, WE WANTED TO JUST GATHER WHAT WE KNEW WE WOULD BE USING AND WOULD BE RELEVANT FOR US NOW.

SO IT DID CHANGE A LITTLE BIT. SO, I'LL DO A QUICK KIND OF OVERVIEW OF GRADES 3-5, AND THEN 6-12.

[01:10:04]

SO YOU'LL AND SENSE OF BELONGING. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'LL LOOK AT IN JUST A MINUTE.

SO GRADES 3-5 YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAD 1,432 RESPONSES.

AND YOU CAN SEE OUR RATING, OR HOW STUDENTS RESPONDED THERE.

AND SO, THE NATIONAL BENCHMARKS THAT YOU SEE ARE COMPARED TO THE ENTIRE NATION.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CUSTOMIZE THAT FOR URBAN OR RURAL SETTINGS, SIZES OF SCHOOLS, PERCENTAGE OF FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH, DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. THAT GIVES US AND THEN REGION IN THE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT GIVES US A DIFFERENT PERCENTILE.

BUT THIS CHART THAT THEY PRODUCE IS JUST EVERYBODY.

SO, BUT IT IS KIND OF FUN TO SEE HOW WE DO COMPARED TO OTHERS.

SO, YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE JUST OVERALL 3-5. WE HAVE VERY HIGH AND SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS.

AGAIN, LEARNING STRATEGIES BECAUSE THIS IS NEW.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY DATA TO COMPARE THAT TO. SO, IN THE SPRING WHEN WE ASSESS AGAIN WE'LL HAVE OUR FIRST COMPARATIVE DATA POINT.

SENSE OF BELONGING AND SOCIAL AWARENESS. AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU HOVER OVER LEARNING STRATEGIES.

YOU CAN SEE FAVORABLE IS THE BLUE OF THE BAR.

APPROACHING FAVORABLE IS THE GRAY, AND NOT FAVORABLE.

AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK AT DATA WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STUDENTS WHO ARE RESPONDING.

THIS IS THEIR VOICE IN HOW THEY'RE EXPERIENCING SCHOOL AND HOW THEY FEEL AT SCHOOL.

AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HONOR THAT THE GRAY AREA IS A LOT OF KIDS STILL AND THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING SOME SENSE OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT'S BEING MEASURED.

SO 6-12, THIS IS OUR KIND OF OVERALL, YOU CAN SEE AGAIN SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS IS REALLY HIGH.

LEARNING STRATEGIES, SOCIAL AWARENESS AND SENSE OF BELONGING, WHICH IS FLAT FROM THE SPRING FOR GRADES 6 THROUGH 12.

THESE WERE OUR BASELINE DATA POINTS FOR THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR.

SO YOU CAN SEE MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS GRADES THREE THROUGH FIVE.

IT WAS 68%. SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SPRING OF 2023 AND 6-12, IT WAS 50%.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE FIVE-YEAR TARGET ON THE RIGHT.

THE GOALS THAT WE SET WHEN WE DEVELOPED THESE MEASURES OR WHEN WE DEVELOPED THESE GOALS, 71 AND 54%.

SO WHEN WE LOOK AT JUST SENSE OF BELONGING. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER, BUT THE SURVEY, PANORAMA CHANGED THE SURVEY QUESTIONS LIKE IN 2024, 23, 24.

AND SO WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO COMPARE OUR DATA.

BUT THEY'VE MADE OUR LINE A SOLID LINE NOW. AND WHAT, I DON'T KNOW WHY THE SCREENSHOT IS KIND OF BLURRY ON THERE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT FOR FALL 2025, IT'S AT 64% FOR ALL STUDENTS GRADES 3-5.

AND FOR OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS, IT'S 69%. I BELIEVE THERE'S A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THE MULTILINGUAL SPECIALISTS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR SCHOOLS, AND THE CONNECTIONS AND SUPPORT THAT THEY OFFER STUDENTS AND FAMILIES.

THEY ARE INCREDIBLY AN INCREDIBLE PROFESSIONAL GROUP WITH A LOT OF SKILL IN SUPPORTING OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS, SO I'M NOT TOTALLY SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THEIR SENSE OF BELONGING HAS GONE UP.

SO AGAIN, OUR FIVE YEAR TARGET BACK FROM 2022-23 WAS 71%, AND WE'RE AT 69.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT GRADES SIX THROUGH 12 ALL STUDENTS AGAIN THE SCREENSHOT WAS WEIRD.

SO I ADDED NUMBERS ON THE BOTTOM THERE. ON THE RIGHT YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE KIND OF AGAIN FLATLINED THERE 55% FOR OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS.

I DID DIVE IN A LITTLE BIT FOR ALL STUDENTS, SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW THEY ARE RESPONDING.

THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS FOR SENSE OF BELONGING.

WHEN YOU'RE AT SCHOOL, HOW MUCH DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU BELONG? HOW MUCH SUPPORT DO THE ADULTS AT YOUR SCHOOL GIVE YOU? HOW WELL DO PEOPLE AT YOUR SCHOOL UNDERSTAND THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE? AND HOW MUCH RESPECT DO STUDENTS AT YOUR SCHOOL SHOW YOU? THE ONE THAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT STUDENTS MIGHT INTERPRET RESPECT IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS FEEL IN COMMUNITY WITH EACH OTHER.

I LOVE THAT WE HAVE THE SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS, WHICH IS THAT STUDENTS FEEL THEY HAVE A CONNECTION TO AN ADULT OUT AT SCHOOL OR OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. BUT I THINK IN ORDER FOR A CULTURE TO BE VERY STRONG, STUDENTS SHOULD NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO EACH OTHER.

AND SO THIS QUESTION, I THINK, IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT AROUND HOW MUCH DO STUDENTS AT YOUR SCHOOL, HOW MUCH RESPECT DO THEY SHOW YOU? SO, YOU CAN SEE AGAIN THAT THE GRAY AREA IS QUITE LARGE.

[01:15:06]

SO THEN OUR AREA TO WORK ON THERE YOU CAN SEE ARE THE LITTLE BIT AND NO RESPECT, RIGHT.

THAT ALSO INCREASED BY FIVE PERCENTAGE POINTS.

SO, THERE'S A CELEBRATION. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SAME DATA FOR OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS, YOU HAVE 57% ARE EXPRESSING A SENSE OF BELONGING AT SCHOOL. THIS IS THEIR RESPONSES ON THE SAME QUESTIONS.

YOU CAN SEE AN INCREASE ON THE LAST THREE THERE.

YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT THERE ARE 92, 93, 94 RESPONSES TO THESE QUESTIONS VERSUS THE 1,400, WHICH WAS THE.

ACTUALLY, IT WAS LIKE 3000, I THINK 3,147 FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS.

ALL RIGHT, AND FOR OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS, HOW MUCH RESPECT DO STUDENTS AT YOUR SCHOOL SHOW YOU? WE HAD 92 RESPONSES FOR THAT QUESTION. I THINK IT'S REALLY INTERESTING.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE ORANGE, ONE STUDENT SAID THEY GET THEY RECEIVE A LITTLE BIT OF RESPECT AND ONE STUDENT SAID THEY RECEIVED NO RESPECT AT ALL.

SO, I THINK THAT'S ALSO A CELEBRATION. WE NEED TO GO IDENTIFY THOSE COUPLE OF STUDENTS, I THINK.

BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT OVERALL, OUR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS WHO ARE STUDENTS, WHO ARE COMING FROM OTHER PLACES OR ARE NEWER TO OUR AREA OR OUR COUNTRY OUR EXPERIENCE IS EXPERIENCING A SENSE OF BELONGING, AT LEAST SOMEWHAT IN OUR SCHOOLS. ALL RIGHT, SOME OF OUR NEXT STEP, KIND OF NEXT STEPS, KIND OF IN FRAMING THE SYSTEMS, LEARNING AND CULTURE ARE JUST THROUGH SYSTEMS. WE'RE CONTINUING TO SUPPORT THOSE SCHOOL THEORIES OF ACTION THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT IN ON NOVEMBER 10TH, AND DEVELOPING OUR MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORTS AGAIN, MONITORING AND STARTING KIND OF WITH THE TIER ONE AND AT THE SAME TIME, HOW CAN WE SUPPORT TIER TWO AND TIER THREE NEEDS FOR DIFFERENT STUDENTS? THROUGH LEARNING WE'RE CONTINUING TO BUILD CAPACITY THROUGH PROFESSIONAL LEARNING.

SO THAT'S CONTINUED EMPHASIS ON THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS, STRATEGIES AND IDENTIFICATION OF SUPPORTS.

WE KNOW THAT CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING IS EVERYTHING FROM HOW A STUDENT, WHERE A STUDENT SITS IN THE CLASSROOM? HOW THEY SHOW UP? HOW THEY'RE GREETED? THE TYPES OF MATERIALS THAT ARE PROVIDED, THEIR ACCESS TO THE LEARNING THAT THEY CAN ENGAGE IN DURING THE CLASS, DURING CLASS. SO THERE'S LOTS OF THINGS TO CONSIDER.

AND THEN FINALLY, WITH CULTURE, THOSE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.

SO JUST CONTINUING TO SEEK OUR STUDENT AND FAMILY VOICES AS WE DEVELOP, SUPPORT AND PROGRAMING.

OUR PRINCIPALS HAVE DONE A REALLY GREAT JOB OF SEEKING VOICE, STUDENT VOICE SINCE WE'VE PUSHED THIS STRATEGIC PLAN VALUE FORWARD OF STUDENT VOICE.

THERE IS A DEFINITE SPIRIT OF SEEKING INPUT FROM STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN OUR SCHOOLS, AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE SO JUST CONTINUING TO FOSTER THAT CULTURE IN OUR SYSTEM. AND THAT IS WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU.

ARE THERE QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER? ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR KATIE? THANK YOU FOR THIS, KATIE, BECAUSE I KNOW EVERY TIME THERE'S A LOT OF DATA.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE OTHER DATA TOO. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT THERE TO GO THROUGH.

SO MAYBE THE QUESTION ON LIKE THE CULTURE SIDE, WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP THAT THAT LAST STEP? I MEAN, I WAS AGAIN, JUST THINKING ABOUT COMING BACK FROM IT.

THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW BOARDS SHOULD BE, YOU KNOW, ALIGNED.

AND AT LEAST WE CAN HAVE DIFFERING OPINIONS BUT BE UNIFIED IN OUR MISSION.

SO ARE THERE ANY STEPS HERE THAT WE CAN TAKE IN THIS MEANTIME? BESIDES, FOR, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTING THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND OUR EDUCATORS AND PRINCIPALS AND LISTENING.

I MEAN, ANY ANY ACTIONABLE STEPS THAT YOU THINK WE SHOULD TAKE? I THINK WHEN WE DO, WHEN WE HAVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

I WENT TO MY DAUGHTER'S CONFERENCES TODAY, AND ONE OF THE TEACHERS SAID SOMETHING LIKE, WELL, THE FAMILIES WHO ARE HERE ARE NOT REALLY THE ONES WE NEED TO TALK TO, RIGHT.

AND SO HOW DO WE GET TO THE FAMILIES THAT DIDN'T SHOW UP? SO REALLY SEEKING OUT ARE THERE AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY, ARE THERE SPECIFIC EVENTS THAT ARE CULTURAL OR THAT MIGHT DRAW CERTAIN POPULATIONS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO HEAR FROM? BRENDA AT OUR RESOURCE, FAMILY COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTER IS VERY STRONG AND CONNECTED TO SOME OF THOSE EVENTS AND THE NEEDS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES

[01:20:09]

IT'S EASY TO GO TO THE BIG PRODUCTION OR THE BIG THE GAME OR THE BIG THING, RIGHT? BUT THINKING, HOW COULD ONE OF MY EVENTS OR OPPORTUNITIES BE TARGETED TO A GROUP THAT I'M SEEKING TO HEAR FROM.

YEAH. EXCELLENT. THANKS. I WAS GOING TO ASK HOW.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO MEASURE OUR PROGRESS AS WE GO THROUGH THE YEAR? BECAUSE WE DON'T WE DON'T DO PANORAMA EVERY QUARTER.

SO, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MEASURE THESE KIND OF LITTLE MILESTONES AS WE GO THROUGH THE YEAR? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OUR PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE DESIGNED ACTUALLY I THINK THERE'S THREE OF OUR SCHOOLS HAVE DESIGNED.

YEAH, KIND OF LIKE FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS, LIKE LITTLE TOUCH POINTS.

TO GET TO KIND OF BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO PANORAMA SURVEYS.

WE ALSO HAVE PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING PLATFORMS THAT WE'RE USING.

SO OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE USING SECOND STEP AND THEY'RE USING IT PRETTY ACTIVELY.

SO I CAN SEE ALL OF THE ENGAGEMENT FROM ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS THROUGH THAT.

AND IT'S NOT ALIGNED EXACTLY WITH PANORAMA, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAP, RIGHT.

SO WE CAN KIND OF SEE HOW STUDENTS ARE DOING AND FEELING AND HOW THEY'RE ENGAGING.

AND THEN AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL, WE HAVE WAYFINDER.

AND WAYFINDER IS NEW THIS YEAR FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL.

BUT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE PILOTING IT. THEY'RE STARTING TO USE IT THIS YEAR.

AND IT'S DESIGNED FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS. IT'S PRETTY COOL.

I HAVE TO SAY. AND THEN OUR CHOICE HIGH SCHOOLS ARE USING IT REGULARLY.

AND SO. AND CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL, OUR COUNSELORS HAVE ACCESS TO IT BECAUSE WE'RE IN A PILOT RIGHT NOW.

WE DON'T IT'S NOT WIDESPREAD YET. BUT BOTH OF THOSE PLATFORMS HAVE THE ABILITY TO KIND OF HELP GUIDE US IN THOSE TOUCH POINTS TO SEE WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHOLE SCHOOL CHANGES IN CULTURE OR INITIATIVES WE MIGHT NEED TO ADDRESS.

OR IF THERE ARE CERTAIN GROUPS OR POPULATIONS THAT WE CAN TARGET MORE SPECIFICALLY.

SO, I WOULD SAY THOSE ARE USING IT IN THAT WAY IS MORE LIKE OF A MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORTS APPROACH, AND SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LEARNING AS WE GO TO MAKE IT USABLE AND USER FRIENDLY.

I WOULD SAY FOR OUR SCHOOL LEADERS AND TEACHERS.

THANK YOU. ANYTHING ELSE? JUST REAL QUICK. I'M TRYING TO THINK HERE.

SO WE HAD I'M JUST LOOKING BETWEEN THESE. SO 3-5 AND 6-12 COMBINED.

WHAT KIND OF A RESPONSE RATE IS THAT, LIKE WHAT IS WHAT IS TYPICAL FOR US? OR WHAT IS LIKE. I GUESS WHAT I'M WONDERING IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HEARD AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT SESSION I WAS IN, SORRY. WE'RE GOING TO RELATE ALL THIS BACK TO OUR PREVIOUS LEARNING I CAN'T WAIT. WE'RE TYING ALL OF THIS BACK. THAT'S GOOD. I WAS A DISTRICT THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT THE PANORAMA SURVEY, AND HOW THEY WERE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING A LOT OF STUDENTS TO RESPOND ON IT UNTIL THEY COULD START POINTING BACK TO OR GIVING EXAMPLES OF LIKE BASED ON THE PANORAMA DATA, THIS HAPPENED. AND SO LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING I THINK ESPECIALLY INVOLVED WITH LIKE THE STUDENT LEADERSHIP WHEN I WAS IN.

ANYWAYS, OUR RESPONSE RATES. ARE THEY PRETTY GOOD? ARE THEY, YOU KNOW, OVER TIME HAVE THEY BEEN KIND OF AROUND THE SAME AMOUNT? COULD WE DO BETTER? I DON'T KNOW, I'M JUST. THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD.

THEY CHANGE KIND OF YEAR TO YEAR DEPENDING ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN A SCHOOL.

YOU'LL SEE SOME SCHOOLS WILL HAVE A REALLY HIGH RESPONSE RATE PERCENTAGE AND OTHERS SOME YEARS, AND THEN OTHERS NOT AS MANY. BUT WE AIM FOR AS MANY AS POSSIBLE AND WE SEND OUT LOTS OF MESSAGES AS REMINDERS.

BUT YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT THAT STUDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND FEEL LIKE THEIR VOICE IS BEING HEARD IF THEY UNDERSTAND HOW THAT DATA IS BEING USED.

AND WHERE IT GOES. LIKE, WHAT DID WE SAY AS A SCHOOL? HOW VALIDATING TO HEAR THAT I'M SHARING THIS EXPERIENCE.

SO OUR SCHOOLS COMMUNICATING THAT THEN TO THEIR STUDENTS.

LIKE BASED ON YOUR RESPONSES TO THIS, THIS IS A, THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE CHANGED OR SOMETHING THAT WE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN POINT BACK TO OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

SO LAST WEEK WE HAD OUR LEADERSHIP LAB AND OUR FOCUS WAS OUR PANORAMA DATA.

SO THEY HAD PRINCIPALS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIVE INTO IT AND INTO THEIR FOCUS GROUP.

AND OUR CLOSURE ACTIVITY WAS A CONVERSATION WITH ANOTHER SCHOOL LEADER OR TWO AROUND HOW THEY PLAN TO SHARE THAT DATA, HOW IT'S WORKED IN THE PAST WITH STUDENTS, WITH STAFF AND WITH FAMILIES.

SO HOW IS THEIR SCHOOL COMMUNITY ABLE TO SEE OR ENGAGE IN THIS DATA AS WELL? SO THAT WAS KIND OF THEIR CLOSURE, THEIR TAKEAWAY AND PLANNING THEIR NEXT STEPS.

[01:25:02]

WAS TO IDENTIFY A WAY THAT WOULD BE MEANINGFUL TO SHARE IT BACK.

AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR TEACHERS TO, IF WE'RE TAKING CLASS TIME TO TO DO A SURVEY FOR THEM TO KNOW THAT THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

I MEAN, IT'S OUR LARGEST, I WOULD SAY, OUR LARGEST COLLECTION OF STUDENT VOICE IN OUR SYSTEM.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY KNOW THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IT AND USING IT.

WE'RE RESPONDING. DEFINITELY. THANKS. GREAT QUESTION.

OKAY. IT SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE'S ALWAYS ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE IN MY HEAD, WHICH WAS, WHERE DO THEY TAKE THEM? SO I ASSUME THEY TAKE THESE IN CLASSROOMS. AND THE OTHER QUESTION WAS, HOW IS THIS COMMUNICATED TO THE FAMILIES? WHICH YOU ALSO HAVE ANSWERED. BUT MY QUESTION WAS LIKE WHEN YOU WENT FROM LIKE A FIVE-YEAR TARGET, YOU HAD A 71% AND 54%. HOW DO YOU LIKE HOW DO WE COME UP WITH THAT? IS THAT LIKE A, I'M POOR AT CALCULATING MATH SO QUICKLY, BUT IS THAT LIKE A 10% INCREASE OR SOMETHING OR HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THAT? THEY AVERAGE ABOUT 5%. SO, WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THESE, THESE GOAL PERCENTAGES FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN, WE HAD TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT IS REASONABLE AND WHAT HAVE WE DONE BEFORE? WHAT FEELS LIKE A STRETCH BUT ISN'T SO LOFTY THAT WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT ENSURES THAT WE WILL GROW.

SO THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS A LIVING DOCUMENT, AND I WOULD ARGUE AT THIS POINT THAT THE DATA IN THERE COULD BE UPDATED.

AND, YOU KNOW, COULD USE ANOTHER LOOK AT LIKE, IS THIS STILL WHAT WE HOPE FOR.

COULD WE SET THOSE HIGHER OR WHERE ARE WE AT? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO REACH THESE IN A DIFFERENT WAY? SO YEAH, IT WAS BASED ON JUST WHAT IS A REASONABLE PERCENTAGE TO GROW BASED ON THE DATA THAT WE ALREADY HAD.

SO THAT'S HOW WE CHOSE THEM FOR THE FIVE YEAR GOALS.

ONE MORE GO BACK TO WSSDA. SORRY. YEAH. IT WAS A LOT OF, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I WENT TO HAD TO DO WITH LIKE, IT'S GREAT TO COLLECT DATA AND WE HAVE NUMBERS AND GRAPHS TO SHOW ALL THIS, BUT IT'S THE WORK THAT WE DO TO ADVANCE TO THESE NUMBERS THAT WE DON'T OFTEN GET TO SEE.

SO IF I WAS TO ASK TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A CONTINUOUS REPORT ON SOMETHING, WE'D BE LIKE, OKAY, WHAT ARE WE DOING AND HOW IS THAT GOING TO REFLECT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW OR A YEAR FROM NOW.

YEAH, I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND THERE ARE SO MANY CHANGES TO RECOGNIZE TOO, LIKE OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL PLATFORMS THAT ARE SECOND STEP ISN'T NEW.

BUT WAYFINDER IS PRETTY NEW, SO WE'RE GUESSING AT HOW THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT OUR STUDENTS EXPERIENCES.

AND, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING ENOUGH TRAINING THAT TEACHERS WILL FEEL LIKE IT'S MEANINGFUL AND THAT STUDENTS ARE SEEING REAPING THE BENEFITS OF THAT AND GROWING. SO THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS THAT, I MEAN, THERE ARE HUMANS, RIGHT? LIKE WE HAVE DATA, BUT THESE ARE ALL HUMANS, AND THE HUMANS AREN'T THE SAME HUMANS EVERY YEAR THAT ARE ENGAGING WITH THIS WORK.

SO, YEAH, THOSE ARE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. OKAY.

OKAY. ANY OTHER ANY OTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS.

OKAY. KATIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT. THANK YOU. YES.

HAPPY LEARNING. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO ITEM 7.D WAS ITEMS ADDED TO THE AGENDA, WHICH WE DID NOT HAVE ANY. SO I WILL THEN MOVE ON TO ITEM 8.A, WHICH IS PUBLIC COMMENT.

[8. CULTURE - Public Comments]

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD IS TO LISTEN AND REFLECT ON PUBLIC COMMENTS ACTIVELY.

THE BOARD MAY ONLY DISCUSS AND ACT UPON ITEMS INCLUDED ON THE WRITTEN AGENDA.

FACE THE BOARD, STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND THE BELL WILL RING AT THREE MINUTES TO REMIND YOU THAT YOUR TIME IS UP. OKAY. SO WITH THAT, THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE ON THE LIST IS ERIKA.

HELLO? IS THIS ON? YES. YES. OKAY. GOING WITH CL STUFF, I CAN KIND OF TELL YOU THAT AT PRUNE HILL, WHEN WE HAVE OUR CEL MEETINGS. JUST TO PIGGYBACK OFF THAT TEACHER MIND, IS THAT WE DIVE INTO QUESTIONS THAT PRUNE HILL KIDS ANSWER AND TRY TO GO BASED OFF OF THAT OF IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR OWN SCHOOL.

SO IF YOU EVER WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT SOME TIME AS WELL, TO SEE HOW WE USE IT IN OUR SCHOOLS.

[01:30:01]

I'M A TEACHER AT PRUNE HILL ELEMENTARY AND I TEACH KINDERGARTEN, AND IN THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF, WE'VE RECEIVED FOUR DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR OUR CALENDAR FOR THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR.

AND I JUST WANTED TO COME TODAY TO GIVE MY THOUGHTS.

AND BASED OFF OF MY PROFESSIONALISM AND THEN ALSO JUST SOME WONDERINGS THAT I MIGHT HAVE THAT I'M HOPING IN THE FUTURE CAN MAYBE BE COMMUNICATED WITH US.

MY CONCERNS ARE WITH CALENDAR A AND B STARTING SO EARLY IN AUGUST.

TEACHING KINDERGARTEN. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE COME BACK FROM LONG BREAKS.

THIS IS I'M NOT COMPLAINING THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORK TODAY, BUT KNOWING THAT WE ARE OFF FOR NINE DAYS AND THAT I'M HAVING TO GO BACK AND TEACH ON MONDAY WITH KINDERGARTEN AGE STUDENTS, IT IS REALLY, REALLY HARD TO COME BACK AND GET INTO A ROUTINE AND I LOSE TEACHING BECAUSE I HAVE TO RETEACH THINGS THAT I'VE ALREADY TAUGHT.

YOU WOULDN'T THINK NINE DAYS WOULD BE A BIG DEAL, BUT IT IS.

AND THEN WHEN YOU SPAN IT OUT FOR DIFFERENT TIMES, WITH ONE OF THOSE HOLIDAYS BEING A TWO WEEK BREAK, IT IS JUST, IT IS REALLY HARD FOR MY STUDENTS AND THEN MY AT-RISK STUDENTS WHO NEED THAT ROUTINE, WHO NEED TO BE AT SCHOOL. I MEAN, COMING BACK FROM CONFERENCES, BEING HALF DAYS, BUT BEING THERE EVERY DAY WAS STILL A TRANSITION.

AND SO THAT'S JUST ONE OF MY CONCERNS AS A PRIMARY TEACHER IS THOSE FOUR REALLY LONG BREAKS SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, IS JUST REALLY, REALLY HARD FOR PRIMARY TEACHERS TO COME BACK AND TEACH.

AND THEN THE OTHER CONCERN IS JUST THAT MY FAMILY'S FINDING CHILDCARE IN SPORADIC TIMES DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR VERSUS HAVING A SOLID PLAN FOR SUMMER. I KNOW SECONDARY, YOU HAVE OLDER STUDENTS WHO CAN BE HOME AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FINDING CHILDCARE.

BUT FOR MY FAMILIES THEY DO HAVE TO FIND CHILDCARE AND THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM AS WELL.

FOR THOSE THAT CAN WORK FROM HOME, THEN I HAVE TECHNOLOGY BABYSITTING THE STUDENTS AT HOME.

NO FAULT OF THE PARENTS. WE WENT THROUGH THIS DURING COVID, BUT JUST STILL ONE OF THOSE OTHER CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BREAKS BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY AND IN NOVEMBER WHEN THE WEATHER ISN'T GREAT AND THE KIDS AREN'T OUTSIDE PLAYING.

AND ALL THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE I DO HAVE TWO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

THEY LOVE HAVING THE WEEKS OFF. AND SO I THINK I WANT MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT IS THE VOTING LOOKING LIKE WITH ELEMENTARY VERSUS SECONDARY. ARE MORE SECONDARY TEACHERS VOTING FOR IT VERSUS PRIMARY AND WHY? AND IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO KIND OF BALANCE THE SCHEDULE FOR BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY.

SORRY, I GOT MY TIME SET. PIGGYBACK ON THAT, BUT THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. OKAY, OUR NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT IS BECKY.

YES. OR MIKE. SAVVY? ALRIGHT. HI. MY NAME IS BECKY TEACH 4TH GRADE AT PRUNE HILL. I WANTED TO JUST COME AND TALK ABOUT THE CALENDAR AS WELL.

ONE OF THE THINGS WITH THE CALENDAR THIS YEAR IS THAT WE HAVE THAT WEEK OFF IN FEBRUARY, WHICH WAS COMMUNICATED TO US THAT IT WAS REALLY GOOD FOR THE SECONDARY AND MENTAL HEALTH.

AND ALL OF YOU GET CLOSER TO THE MIC. OH I'M SORRY.

THAT CLOSER. CAN YOU HEAR ME BETTER. IS THE FEBRUARY BREAK IF WE'RE LOOKING AT VOTING ON A CALENDAR NOW.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON IT NOW? MAYBE LOOKING AT GETTING FEEDBACK AFTER THAT FEBRUARY BREAK, ESPECIALLY FROM SECONDARY, IF THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR IT, TO SEE WHAT THE BENEFITS WERE OF THAT, IF THERE WAS ANY, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT THEY NOTICED WITH THAT, WE HAVE AN EMPLOYEE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, SO EVEN ASKING THEM TO GET FEEDBACK. I KNOW ERICA IS ONE OF OUR PEOPLE AT PRUNE HILL, AND SHE'S ALWAYS GREAT ABOUT EMAILING OUT TO US.

HEY, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT US TO BRING TO THAT? BUT GETTING INFORMATION FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT LEVELS WOULD BE, I THINK, REALLY, REALLY GREAT.

I THINK THERE'S BENEFITS TO ALL FOUR CALENDARS THAT CAME OUT AND DRAWBACKS.

WHEN I THINK OF MY KIDS IN AP CLASSES, YOU START EARLIER, YOU GET A LONGER TIME TO DO THINGS BEFORE AP TESTS IN MAY.

BUT THEN YOU LOOK AT PRIMARY WHERE WE ARE AND WE LIVE THAT THOSE BIG BREAKS DO IMPACT US MORE SO THAN, THAN SECONDARY. SO JUST ASKING YOU GUYS TO MAYBE CONSIDER PAUSING AND NOT VOTING ON THAT TONIGHT, BUT TO LOOK AT FEEDBACK AND LOOK AT THINGS, ESPECIALLY WITH THINGS THAT YOU IMPLEMENTED FOR THE CALENDAR THIS YEAR.

SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO AND I'M DONE.

[01:35:02]

HI, I'M JESSICA MILLER, ALSO FROM PRUNE HILL.

WE HAVE OUR LITTLE CREW. I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK NOT PERSONALLY.

I AM LOVING HAVING THIS WEEK OFF. I'VE BOOKED MY FLIGHT FOR PALM SPRINGS FOR FEBRUARY, SO I LOVE THE CALENDAR IN THAT ASPECT.

BUT SPEAKING FROM AN ELEMENTARY TEACHERS PERSPECTIVE, AGAIN, THE IMPACT ON THESE CALENDARS IS HUGE.

ONE THING I WANTED TO SPEAK TO WAS SIMPLY THE HEAT.

THIS YEAR WE WERE ASKING ELEMENTARY KIDS IN THEIR FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL TO STAY INSIDE, WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT.

MY OWN SON'S A MIDDLE SCHOOLER, AND HE REMEMBERS THAT SKYRIDGE BEING TOLD TO NOT GO OUTSIDE DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.

SO THAT WAS KIND OF A PROBLEM FOR US STARTING EARLY.

AND NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT STARTING TWO WEEKS BEFORE LABOR DAY, WHICH IS CONCERNING.

IN ADDITION, I ALSO WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ATTENDANCE.

WE PULLED THE ATTENDANCE DATA AT PRUNE HILL, AND WE HAD OVER TWICE THE NUMBER OF KIDS ABSENT THIS YEAR.

IN THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL WHEN WE STARTED THE WEEK BEFORE LABOR DAY, COMPARED TO LAST YEAR WHEN WE STARTED AFTER LABOR DAY.

SO AS BECKY MENTIONED, I'D LOVE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO PAUSE AND SEE.

IS THAT DATA UNIQUE TO PRUNE HILL, OR IS THAT DATA THAT'S CONSISTENT ACROSS ALL OF THE BUILDINGS? AND IF SO THAT SEEMS CONCERNING TO ME, BECAUSE AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS MISSING THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL, IT'S DIFFICULT. AND NOW IF WE'RE LOOKING AT STARTING AGAIN A WHOLE WEEK EARLIER, THAT'S CONCERNING TO ME AS WELL.

SO THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO ALSO SPEAK TO WAS HIGH SCHOOLERS.

I KNOW ERICA TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT, BUT I DO HAVE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE HIGH SCHOOLERS THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF HAVING JOBS DURING THE SUMMER AND THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH AN EARLY START. THAT KIND OF CUTS OUT SOME OF THEIR TIME TO WORK.

I KNOW THAT SOME KIDS WERE IMPACTED THAT ARE INVOLVED IN SPORTS AS WELL, IN TERMS OF HAVING TO KIND OF JAM TRYOUTS INTO THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL. SO JUST TO REITERATE, WE'D LOVE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO PAUSE AND JUST KIND OF LOOK AT SOME DATA AND GATHER SOME INFORMATION BEFORE WE KIND OF VOTE. AND AS ERICA MENTIONED ON THE I THINK IT'S EMPLOYEE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, JUST HAVING SOME CONVERSATIONS TO FIND OUT, LIKE IF THERE'S A GROUP THAT REALLY LOVES THESE EARLY STARTS, I'D LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT.

AND THEN LASTLY, ALSO THERE'S LIKE RUMBLINGS AND RUMORS THAT THIS IS A MOVE TOWARDS A YEAR ROUND CALENDAR.

AND I'D LOVE INFORMATION ON IF THAT'S TRUE OR JUST COMMUNICATION ABOUT WHERE THESE EARLIER STARTS ARE COMING FROM AND WHY IT WAS ONE WEEK BEFORE LABOR DAY THIS YEAR, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO WEEKS NEXT YEAR.

SO THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND MY ENCOURAGEMENT.

IT'S JUST TO PAUSE AND GATHER THE DATA. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU GUYS ALL FOR BEING HERE.

AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING JOHN I KNOW WAS TAKING NOTES DURING SOME OF THAT AND HE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH YOU GUYS ON SOME OF THAT.

AND JUST SO YOU GUYS ARE IT'S CLEAR WE'RE NOT VOTING ON ANY KIND OF CALENDAR TONIGHT.

THERE'S NO CALENDAR ON OUR AGENDA TO VOTE ON.

AND JOHN DID TELL ME BEFORE THE MEETING THAT THERE HAS BEEN TWO ADDITIONAL CALENDAR OPTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN, OKAY THAT HAVE BEEN PUT OUT. SO ALL THAT IS GOING OUT, AND THEN THE ONE CALENDAR COMES TO US TO VOTE ON.

SO BUT DEFINITELY SOME VALID COMMENTS TONIGHT.

AND JOHN CAN CONTINUE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND WITH THE BOARD ON THAT.

CAN I ALSO ASK MAYBE JOHN, YOU CAN SHARE, I KNOW I THINK IT WAS OUR CAC COMMITTEE THAT TWO YEARS AGO WORKED LIKE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT, THE SUMMER SLIDE AND THE DIFFERENT CALENDARS, WHICH IS WHAT DROVE US TOWARD THIS.

SO MAYBE SHARING SOME OF THAT WITH STAFF. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE DID A LOT OF WORK ON THAT TO GET TO THAT POINT.

YOU KNOW, THE, ONE POINT, ONE OF THE POINTS THAT THE TEACHERS MADE IS WE DON'T HAVE VALID DATA YET.

AND FOR THAT FEBRUARY BREAK, IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET SOME OF THAT.

SO YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF WE DO WANT TO LOOK AT DOING A TWO YEAR ROLLOUT AT SOME POINT SO WE CAN GET THAT DATA.

I'D BE CAUTIOUS ON HOW FAR WE WANT TO PAUSE ON THIS, BECAUSE PEOPLE DO WANT TO PLAN IN ADVANCE.

SO I DEFINITELY WILL TAKE YOUR RECOMMENDATION.

JUST SAYING THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF DATA. YEAH, YEAH.

BEFORE THE DECISION MAKING THAT MAYBE IF THAT WAS SHARED MORE BROADLY.

SURE. WE CAN DO THAT. YEAH. THE CAC WORKED FOR ABOUT A SEMESTER.

SO I'D SAY ABOUT THREE MONTHLY MEETINGS ON GATHERING THAT DATA.

DIGGING INTO OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND LOOKING AT YOU KNOW, THAT ONE WEEK IN FEBRUARY, ONE WEEK IN THANKSGIVING.

SO IT WASN'T JUST, LIKE, PLUCKED OUT OF THE AIR FOR SURE.

[01:40:03]

OF COURSE. AND WE WANT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THE KIDS AT THE END OF THE DAY. SO. SO.
