          REGARDING THAT FIRST DAY OF FINALS, THE LONGER ONE WHERE THERE WAS THE TWO FINALS AND THEN THE SCHOOL DAY CONTINUES. BUT THE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THAT WENT WELL
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE USUALLY USED TO THAT KIND OF,
SORT OF SCHEDULE.

US KNOW BECAUSE I'M JUST I WAS KIND OF CURIOUS, LIKE WHERE YOU GO TO WATCH IT. WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT. 
          I DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE SCHOOL KNOWS TO WATCH THEM. 
          YEAH, I KNOW THAT THEY'RE DOING THEIR THING. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          BECAUSE IT'S NOT POSTED ON THE ATHLETIC SCHEDULE,

          ANY STUDENT PUBLIC COMMENTS? NONE. NONE. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS. 
          DO YOU WANT TO START WITH TRACEY? SURE. IT'S BEEN KIND OF A. 
          I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN ON WINTER BREAK FOR A LONG TIME. AND THEN I MISSED THE WORKSHOP YOU
GUYS HAD LAST WEEK OR TWO WEEKS AGO. 
          BUT I DID HEAR IT WENT REALLY WELL. I THINK COREY TALKED TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT,
AND I TALKED TO CONNIE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT, SO I WAS HAPPY THAT THAT WENT SO WELL AND SORRY I MISSED THAT ONE. OTHERWISE, IT'S BEEN PRETTY QUIET. 
          I'VE BEEN KEEPING UP ON CAPITAL FACILITY STUFF AND ATTENDING A FEW BASKETBALL GAMES HERE
AND THERE, AND THAT'S REALLY ALL I HAVE TO REPORT FOR THIS MONTH. 
          CAN I BREAK THE MOLD A LITTLE BIT, PLEASE? CAN WE HAVE SOME COLLABORATIVE COMMUNICATION
HERE? OKAY. BECAUSE I HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I KNOW THAT I'M PROBABLY GOING TO MENTION FROM
SOME OTHER PEOPLE, AND MAYBE WE CAN JUST KIND OF TAG TEAM THESE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE LIKE,
FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW BAMINI YOU AND I HAD OUR LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY COMMITTEE MEETING ON JANUARY 20TH, SO I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT YOU WANTED TO SAY ABOUT
IT OR IF I WANTED TO. 
          WE KIND OF ONE THING THAT WE'RE PLANNING RIGHT NOW IS TRYING TO GET OUR DATES TOGETHER FOR
THAT GROUP TO GO UP AND DO A DAY ON THE HILL, TO GO AND TO GO AND LOBBY LEGISLATORS. I KNOW WE HAD TENTATIVELY PLANNED ON A DATE NEXT
WEEK, AND THEN THAT DIDN'T END UP WORKING OUT WITH THE LEGISLATORS SCHEDULE,
TRYING TO GET APPOINTMENTS AND GET IN THERE. 
          SO I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER DATE THAT'S BEING PLANNED. 
          BAMINI I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE WORKED ON THAT ACTUALLY. I LOVE
THIS COLLABORATIVE THING HERE, BECAUSE WHAT I HAD TO SAY WAS, ASIDE FROM ATTENDING THAT, I ALSO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO WSSDA LEGISLATIVE
CONFERENCE, WHICH IS WASHINGTON STATE SCHOOL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION. 
          AND THAT WAS IN JANUARY AS WELL. AND WHERE DEREK WAS ALSO THERE. 
          AND IT WAS BROUGHT TOGETHER LIKE A STATEWIDE EDUCATION PRIORITIES. 
          WE DISCUSSED I THINK THE TAKE HOME POINT WAS THAT STRONG ALIGNMENT. 
          SO ALL ACROSS THE STATE WE'RE YOU KNOW, ALL COMING TOGETHER WITH THE SAME MESSAGE,
SO THE SAME ASK FROM OUR LEGISLATORS AND KNOWING THAT WE MAY NOT GET EVERYTHING OR ANYTHING, BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP ASKING. 
          THERE WAS A LOT OF BREAKOUT GROUPS AND SESSIONS ON HOW TO,
YOU KNOW, BRAINSTORM. 
          HOW DO WE ASK, HOW DO WE GET OUR MESSAGES ACROSS TO THE PUBLIC? GET PARENTS AND STUDENTS TOGETHER AND ADVOCATE. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS GREAT WAS THEY USED THIS LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM PAMPHLET THAT
WE HAVE IN ONE OF THE GROUPS AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO COMMUNICATE AND TO ASK AND MAKE ME PROUD. 
          I WAS LIKE, OH, THAT'S FROM US. SO THAT WAS A GREAT CONFERENCE. 
          AND YOU WALK, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF WALK OUT OF THAT VERY SUPPORTED AND FEELING POSITIVE
AND FEEL LIKE YOU GOT THIS. 
          YEAH. AND OUR OWN DOREEN CREATED THIS, RIGHT? YEAH. JUST BIG THANKS TO THE LAC GROUP BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THIS IS LIKE YEAR THREE OF THE
OF THE COMMITTEE, AND WE'VE GOT A LOT OF, LIKE, INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE ON THERE,
BUT ALSO SOME NEW FOLKS THAT ARE REALLY KIND OF SOME GO GETTERS. 
          [00:10:01]
THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS I JUST WANTED TO CHECK. ARE YOU GUYS GETTING THE THE IN-SESSION
EMAILS FROM WSSDA EVERY FRIDAY? YEAH. OKAY, SO JUST CHECKING THAT, BECAUSE THERE'S DEFINITELY THERE'S BEEN SOME ADVOCACY
THINGS ON THERE. 
          ALSO, IF YOU'RE A PODCAST PERSON AND THIS IS LIKE,
FOR ANYBODY THIS WEEK IN OLYMPIA IS A PODCAST THAT COMES OUT EVERY FRIDAY FROM WSAA, WHICH IS THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ASSOCIATION. 
          AND IT'S A NICE USUALLY IT'S LIKE 10 TO 15 MINUTES OF JUST KIND OF A RECAP OF WHAT'S GOING
ON. 
          AND LIKE, THIS ONE WAS KIND OF THIS LAST FRIDAY WAS KIND OF INTERESTING BECAUSE IT SOUNDS
LIKE THE WAY THAT THEY SUMMED IT UP IS THE THEME FOR THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION IS GOING TO BE DON'T DO THAT. [LAUGHTER] AND THAT LIKE, WE'RE LIKE,
THEY'RE NOT REALLY EXPECTING A LOT OF GAINS OUT OF THIS QUITE HONESTLY FOR EDUCATION BECAUSE THE BUDGET IS SO TIGHT. BUT THEY ARE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT A LOT OF THE UNFUNDED
MANDATES THAT SEEM TO BE COMING DOWN THE PIKE WITH A LOT OF THE LEGISLATION AND A LOT OF STUFF THAT MAY HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS BUT ALSO HAS RAMIFICATIONS NOT JUST FOR
BUDGET BUT FOR A LOT OF OTHER, YOU KNOW, STAFFING AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. THERE WAS ONE THAT JUST CAME OUT TODAY THAT I
WANT TO GET A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT, AND I MIGHT ACTUALLY HIT UP KIM OR DEREK, BUT WE GOT A SPECIFIC REQUEST FROM FROM WSSDA TO
WEIGH IN ON. 
          I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER WHERE IT'S AT HERE. IT WAS HB 2170,
WHICH HAD TO DO WITH TIMBER FUNDS. 
          AND, AND THERE WSSDA IS ASKING PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY SIGN IN CON ON THAT TO THE HEARING
THAT'S COMING UP, I THINK WEDNESDAY ON THAT OR MAYBE IT'S TUESDAY,
BUT I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS MAYBE TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT JUST TIMBER FUNDS FOR US AND WHAT THAT HOW THAT IMPACTS THE BUDGET. 
          BECAUSE I THINK IT HAD TO DO WITH SOMEHOW CHANGING THE TIMBER,
CHANGING THE TRUST LANDS TO LIKE, ECOSYSTEM. I GOT TO DIG INTO IT A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          IT'S IN AN EMAIL. I CAN SEND IT TO YOU, BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO HAVE SOME
BUDGET RAMIFICATIONS. SO I WAS GOING TO LOOK AT THAT. BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH WE RELY ON ON TIMBER FUNDS, OUR SPECIFIC DISTRICT. BUT I LOVE THAT THIS WEEK IN OLYMPIA PODCAST. 
          SO IF YOU'RE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO THAT OR YOU CAN GET THEIR THEIR EMAIL,
IT COMES OUT EVERY FRIDAY AND IT'S NICE. 
          IS THERE THE WSSDA LEGISLATIVE THING THAT WE USUALLY GO UP AND DO THE SUNDAY AT. 
          THAT WAS WHAT BAMINI WENT TO. YEAH. THAT'S WHAT SHE JUST WENT TO. 
          YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. AND THEY'RE DOING A, I THINK THERE'S A PUBLIC ED DAY THIS THURSDAY. 
          IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED IN GOING UP TO THAT,
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN GOING UP TO OLYMPIA, YOU CAN SIGN UP WITH WSSDA. AND THEY CAN DO THAT. 
          IT DOESN'T WORK WITH MY SCHEDULE, WHICH IS WHY. 
          WELL, THAT'S NOT JUST WHY, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER DAY TO TRY AND GET OUR OUR LAC
GROUP UP THERE. 
          BUT THERE IS A KIND OF A COORDINATED LOBBYING DAY THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT ALPHABET SOUP
ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE, THAT ARE LOBBYING IN OLYMPIA. SO IT'S THURSDAY IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE SOME OPEN TIME. 
          SO CAN YOU. I WAS GOING TO SAY AS SOON AS YOU HAVE LIKE A TENTATIVE DATE,
EVEN FOR THE DAY ON THE HILL, WILL YOU MAKE SURE WE ALL KNOW. YEAH, WE WE HAD THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE FEBRUARY 5TH, BUT THEN AS WE STARTED TRYING TO REACH OUT TO LEGISLATORS TO
GET ON CALENDARS AND MAKE APPOINTMENTS, IT WAS IT WAS NOT WORKING OUT. SO AND IT'S A SHORT SESSION THIS YEAR TOO. 
          SO WE'RE REALLY KIND OF PRESSED FOR TIME TO TRY AND GET UP THERE. 
          SO WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT. JOHN, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE YOU'RE
PROBABLY GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. NO, NO, THAT WAS PERFECT COREY. WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT LATE FEBRUARY, EARLY MARCH NOW, WHICH ISN'T NECESSARILY IDEAL,
BUT WE MIGHT HAVE MORE INFORMATION BY THEN WHEN WE GET UP THERE. 
          SO YEAH, I WAS BUMMED OUT THAT IT DIDN'T WORK,
BUT THERE ARE GOING TO BE ALL IN COMMITTEES THAT DAY, SO WE'LL BE BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD ON THAT. 
          IF THURSDAY THE 29TH WORKS, THOUGH I KNOW THAT'S THAT SHORT TURNAROUND. 
          I KNOW THEY'VE ALREADY GOT LIKE PRE-SCHEDULED MEETINGS AND KIND OF DIFFERENT LIKE THEY'RE
YEAH, THEY'RE EVEN HOSTING LIKE A LITTLE KIND OF OPEN HOUSE THING FOR LEGISLATORS TO STOP BY. 
          SO I CAN SEND YOU MORE INFORMATION ON THAT. BUT IT'S ALSO IT WAS ALSO IN THE IN SESSION
EMAIL THAT JUST CAME OUT. 
          MATTHEW, I'M SORRY. I'M JUST KIND OF TAKING TAKING OVER THIS,
BUT I WAS GOING TO SAY ARTS ADVISORY. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE WANT TO WEIGH IN ON THERE. WE HAD OUR SECOND OR THIRD
ARTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING ON, WHAT WAS THAT LAST THURSDAY? AND YOU KNOW, THE GROUP IS REALLY OFF AND RUNNING. 
          WE HAVE OUR DIFFERENT SUBCOMMITTEES THAT ARE FORMED UP AND KIND OF WORKING ON. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT THIS GROUP IS GOING SLOW TO GO FAST. 
          GETTING A LOT OF KIND OF GATHERING DATA AND REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE SOME
QUICK WINS THAT WE CAN DO AND THEN SOME MORE LONG TERM STRATEGY. 
          I THINK WE MIGHT BE HAVING AN UPDATE FROM THEM IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS AT ONE OF OUR
BOARD MEETINGS. 
          BUT WE GOT THEIR KIND OF MISSION AND VISION IS COMING TOGETHER,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE. 
          [00:15:02]
YOU DO LATER. OKAY, I CAN WAIT LATER ON, THEN THAT AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER THING I WAS
JUST GOING TO MENTION IS JUST A COUPLE UPCOMING THINGS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE HERE. THIS WEEK IS A BIG WEEK IN THE BAND BUSINESS AROUND CLARK COUNTY. 
          IT'S THE CLARK COLLEGE JAZZ FESTIVAL. IT STARTS ON THURSDAY AND IT RUNS THURSDAY,
FRIDAY, SATURDAY. 
          I JUST KNOW THAT LIBERTY MIDDLE SCHOOL'S JAZZ BAND IS PLAYING AT 9:40 IN THE MORNING ON
THURSDAY AT GEISER HALL IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN THE AREA AND CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL IS GOING TO BE AT THE CLARK JAZZ FESTIVAL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE,
GOSH, I THINK I WAS IN SCHOOL. 
          YEAH. SO KUDOS TO MR. SORUM FOR TAKING THEM THERE. 
          BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE PLAYING ON SATURDAY AT 1:00 AT GEISER HALL,
SO. 
          AND I'LL BE PLAYING AT 4:15 ON FRIDAY, JUST,
YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. 
          YEAH. YEAH. AND THEN ALSO SUPER EXCITED NEXT WEEKEND. 
          FEBRUARY 6TH, 7TH. WE HAVE OUR. I'M SORRY. WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL NORTH COUNTY HONOR BAND THAT
I HOST OUT IN HOCKINSON. 
          AND I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR, AGAIN, THAT WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM OUR MIDDLE
AND HIGH SCHOOLS ALL PARTICIPATING AT THAT FROM THE PBL CAMPUS, LIBERTY, SKYRIDGE, AND CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL HAD MUSICIANS THAT WERE NOMINATED AND SELECTED
FOR THAT. 
          SO THEY HAVE AN HONOR BAND THAT THEY'LL BE WORKING WITH THE GUEST CONDUCTOR WHO'S THE
PROFESSOR FROM PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY, AND THEN THEY'RE DOING A FREE CONCERT AT 6 P.M. 
          ON FEBRUARY 7TH OUT AT THE HOCKINSON HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM. 
          SO IT'S A COOL THING TO CHECK OUT. IT'S ONLY ABOUT AN HOUR. 
          AND IT'S ABOUT, GOSH, ABOUT 150, 160 MUSICIANS FROM CLARK COUNTY. 
          SO. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. I'M SORRY I HOGGED A LOT OF THAT. 
          SO I'LL SHUT UP NOW. NO. THAT'S OKAY. I HAVE A LOT OF TOPICS. I'M GLAD YOU CUT A COUPLE
DOWN. WELL, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'M GOING TO THANK. WE ALL GOT IT AT THE BOARD WORKSHOP,
BUT I'M GOING TO BRING IT UP AGAIN IN PUBLIC. I WANT TO THANK BETH AND JANINE FOR THEIR CLASS, THEIR IAP CLASS, GIVING US ORNAMENTS AND CARDS. 
          EVERYONE GOT OUR ORNAMENT. IT'S SO CUTE. IT WAS REALLY,
REALLY SPECIAL. 
          IT'S NICE. I KNOW WE GET GIFTS AND THINGS, BUT STUDENT MADE GIFTS,
IT REALLY WAS FANTASTIC. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. ON OTHER ARTS THINGS I'LL CONCUR WITH COREY LIKE THE ARTS ADVISORY
IS REALLY MAKING HEADWAY. 
          I THINK THE GO SLOW TO GO FAST. WE'VE GOT A GROUP OF EDUCATORS,
COMMUNITY MEMBERS, PARENTS, PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY VESTED IN GIVING US THEIR GUIDANCE AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE'RE AT. 
          WE DON'T HAVE LOTS OF MONEY TO MAKE BIG CHANGES,
BUT YOU COULD DO A LOT WITH SMALL THINGS, AND THIS GROUP IS COMING UP WITH A LOT OF WAYS TO MAKE THE ARTS MORE VISIBLE AND ELEVATED
AND ALIGNING IT TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          SO MORE TO COME ON THAT, BUT I'M REALLY PROUD. 
          IT FEELS ALMOST LIKE COREY AND OUR MEMBERS NOT JUST LIKE NON-VOTING. 
          WE'RE THERE HELPING DO WORK TOO, WHICH WAS NOT THE INTENT NECESSARILY,
BUT THEY'RE EMBRACING US THERE. 
          AND SO IT'S GREAT. A COUPLE OF THINGS AS WAS NOTED BY ONE OF THE STUDENTS,

$5 DONATION, CREDIT OR DEBIT. THEY'RE NOT TAKING CASH AS ETHAN REMINDED ME GET THERE EARLY BECAUSE

          AND IF YOU DIDN'T, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO EVENING ON BROADWAY RECENTLY,
GO ON TO YOUTUBE. JUST PUT IN 2025 EVENING ON BROADWAY. 
          THERE'S A WHOLE PLAYLIST OF EVERY SINGLE PERFORMANCE FROM LAST YEAR,
SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE IT SHOULD BE FANTASTIC. 
          WHAT TIME DOES IT START? SIX. IT'S A SEVEN. 7:00 SHOW. 
          YEAH. AND THEN I DON'T HAVE THE DATES FOR THE INSPIRE ART EVENT.

IS PUTTING ON. 
          ERIC, I TOLD YOU. LOOK, I SENT YOU A NOTE TODAY. 
          LOOK AT THAT SIGN. REALLY NICE. WE SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR YEARS. SO WE HAVE THREE MUSICALS
COMING UP HERE. 
          JUST AS A REMINDER FOR EVERYONE, WE HAVE CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL IN MARCH,
AND THEN WE HAVE LIBERTY IN LIBERTY ODYSSEY IN APRIL, APRIL 1ST, AND THEN SKYRIDGE IN MAY. SO THREE IN A ROW WE'LL BE PUTTING OUT REMINDERS ON
THAT. 
          SO JUST I'LL SEND OUT AN EMAIL TO EVERYBODY. I HAVE NO SHAME IN REMINDING YOU OF THE DATES
TO ATTEND ON THOSE, BUT WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT EVENTS COMING UP. STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          I'VE GONE TO SEVERAL OF THOSE MEETINGS, AS WELL AS ATTENDING WITH SHAUNA AND KATIE,
THE WINDOWS AND MIRRORS AT GRASS VALLEY AND PRUNE HILL. 
          REALLY GREAT TO SEE OUR STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, GIVE OF THEMSELVES TO YOUNGER STUDENTS. 
          AND THOSE SAME STUDENTS IN A FEW YEARS ARE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING. THEY'LL JOIN US AND
DO IT. 
          AND IT'S VERY THEY HAVE TO BE VERY OPEN AND HONEST ABOUT LABELS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED ON
THEM. 
          IT'S JUST GREAT TO SEE THEM LIKE SHAUNA'S OVER THERE NODDING,
BUT IT'S JUST BEEN VERY NICE THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THAT. 
          THE STUDENTS ALSO HAVE A LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE COMING UP IN MARCH ON THE 27TH,
FRIDAY THE 27TH. 
          SO THERE'LL BE INFORMATION THAT GOES ON THAT. 
          [00:20:02]
I DID ATTEND ON OUR BEHALF THE MLL COLLABORATION EVENT AT GRASS VALLEY. 
          SO SEAN MCMILLAN SENT A NOTE OUT. I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE AN HOUR FREE AND STOPPED BY. 
          BUT I WANT TO THANK SEAN AND MARCY COMET FOR THE INVITE,
AS WELL AS MISS TORKELSON AND CURTIS FOR LETTING ME SIT IN BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW THEY'D FEEL. YOU KNOW, I'M JUST THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW A BOARD MEMBER MIGHT COME AND WANT
TO SIT DOWN AND LISTEN TO HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER WITH THE PARAEDUCATOR. 
          IT WAS FASCINATING. IF IT COMES UP AGAIN, IF YOU HAVEN'T SAT DOWN IN ONE OF THESE
COLLABORATIONS, JUST FASCINATING TO SEE, YOU KNOW, OUR PARA AND AN EDUCATOR TALK ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF
THESE STUDENTS, FROM FAMILY TO MEDICAL TO BEHAVIOR TO WHAT THEY LIKE AND DON'T LIKE. 
          IT WAS REALLY GREAT, AND SO I APPRECIATE IT. I SENT A NOTE TO THEM THANKING THEM FOR THAT, BUT THAT MEANT A LOT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO LET ME BE THERE. 
          I'LL BE BRIEF ON TWO OTHERS. SO STILL DOING LUNCH BUDDIES AT LACAMAS LAKE. 
          I KNOW IT'S BEEN GOING GREAT. IT'S TERRIBLY FUN. 
          I HOPE WE CAN SUPPORT THAT. I HOPE MAYBE, JOHN,
WE CAN HAVE AT THE END OF THE YEAR YOU KNOW, BOTH OF THE PROGRAMS COME IN AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE IMPACT ON STUDENTS FROM LUNCH
BUDDIES. 
          I DID GET TO SEE YOU ON FRIDAY. I GOT INVITED TO COME BACK AND WATCH OUR PRINCIPAL,
JULIE MUELLER, [INAUDIBLE] SUNDAY. I KNOW THAT GETS DONE A LOT,
BUT IT'S LIKE ONE OF THOSE THINGS IF YOU DON'T SEE IT IN PERSON, IT'S NOT NEARLY AS IMPACTFUL. AND YOU KNOW, I KNOW ALL OF OUR EDUCATORS AND OUR
ADMINISTRATORS. 
          FANTASTIC. JULIE IS JUST A LITTLE BIT CRAZY. SHE WAS VACUUMING THE CAFETERIA,
AND THEN THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, SHE'S GETTING COVERED IN ICE CREAM AND CHOCOLATE SAUCE. SO I WORKED REALLY HARD ON THAT. 
          AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WILL MENTION AGAIN NEXT MONTH. 
          BUT IT'S GOOD FOR, LIKE, BOARD COMMUNICATION. 
          SO ON THE 27TH AS WELL FROM 4 TO 6 FORMALLY,
BUT IT'S LIKE 2:30 TO 6. 
          WE DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FEED OUR COMMUNITY AT REFUEL. 
          SO I SENT A NOTE TO EVERYBODY, WE'VE GOT THAT DATE,
BUT I DID WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT OUR PARTNERS AT CHARTWELLS HAVE AGREED TO PARTICIPATE WITH US. SO CHARITY IS WORKING WITH ME RIGHT NOW ON HELPING DEVELOP A MENU FOR REFUEL. 
          SHE KNOWS A LOT MORE ABOUT MAKING A MENU FOR 80 TO 140 PEOPLE. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. AND CHARTWELLS IS GOING TO LEAN INTO SOME SUPPORT AS WELL AS
ON THE FOOD AND PREPARATION, SO WE'LL HAVE MORE TO COME ON THAT. BUT I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT OUR
PARTNERS AT CHARTWELLS HAVE BEEN VERY GENEROUS IN SAYING THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MATTERS TO THEM, TOO. SO I THINK IT'LL BE A LOT OF FUN. WHAT'S THE DATE AGAIN? IT'S MARCH 27TH. IT'S A FRIDAY. IT'S THE SAME DAY AS THE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE. 
          IT'S. WELL, IT'S LIKE IT'S FORMALLY 4 TO 6. FEEDING THE COMMUNITY. 
          I THINK PREP IS LIKE 2:30 TO 4. YOU HAVE, LIKE,
THE TIME BEFORE. 
          IT'S NO MORE THAN 30 MINUTES CLEANUP. THAT NIGHT IS ALSO THE SECOND WEEKEND OF URINETOWN
THE MUSICAL FROM CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, PROPS ARE IMPORTANT. EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER THE DATE,
AND NOW WHEN THEY SEE A SIGN IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY'LL REMEMBER WHAT IT IS, COREY. SO BUT ANYWAY,
REFUEL. 
          I THINK IT'LL BE REALLY FUN. I KNOW CHARITY IN NUTRITION SERVICES. 
          WHEN I BROUGHT IT FORWARD TO THEM, THEY WERE VERY EXCITED. THEY'RE LIKE,
THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO DO. WE ALL WANT TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY. SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER. LET'S SEE LACEY. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE THAT WE WERE TOGETHER IN
CITIZENS ADVISORY. CITIZENS ADVISORY? YEAH. I'M BLANKING OUT ON WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT MEETING,
BUT I DID ATTEND IT. 
          YEAH. AI. YES. THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON AI. ON AI THREE MEETINGS NOW. 
          YEAH. THAT'S IT FOR ME. OKAY. MATTHEW AND I ATTENDED THE CITY SCHOOLS COMMITTEE RIGHT
BEFORE THIS MEETING. 
          IT'S NICE JUST INTERACTION COLLABORATION. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING BIG TO REPORT. 
          NO, JUST LIKE CITY DISCIPLINE. THINGS THAT WE SEE AT THE DISCIPLINE. 
          THINGS A LOT OF LAND. A LOT OF LAND INFORMATION GOING BACK AND FORTH. 
          BUT NOTHING EARTH SHATTERING. AND I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR ELEMENTARY
PRINCIPALS WHO PROVIDED THE BOARD WITH CAFE YUM DINNER TONIGHT. 
          IT'S A SORT OF A TRADITION ON BOARD APPRECIATION MONTH THAT THEY BRING US CAFE YUM DINNER, AND SO THAT'S ALWAYS SPECIAL. SO THANK YOU. AND WITH THAT WE WILL MOVE ON TO NUMBER THREE

          OR ONE? WELL, THEN WE CAN'T SEE. GABE. YOU'RE GOOD,
YOU'RE GOOD. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. I TEACH MY JAZZ STUDENTS MANY WONDERFUL THINGS. 
          ONE THING, APPARENTLY, THAT I SHOULDN'T BE TEACHING THEM IS JAZZ TIME. 
          I APOLOGIZE FOR OUR TARDINESS. WE'RE GOING TO GET THINGS UNDER CONTROL HERE AS SOON AS WE
CAN. 
          HOW ARE WE DOING ON BASS? THIS IS SO COOL. 
          OKAY. SO THE FIRST PIECE THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS EVERYBODY SET BACK THERE. 
          EVERYBODY'S READY. OKAY. FIRST PIECE WE'RE GOING TO DO WAS WRITTEN A LONG TIME AGO BY LIKE
AN ITALIAN B MOVIE COMPOSER. 
          AND THEN IT GOT PICKED UP BY JIM HENSON, AND IT TURNED INTO A BELOVED SONG ABOUT HOW WE
DON'T NEED TO CONFORM TO BE COOL. 
          I PROUDLY PRESENT TO YOU. 
          DA LA DA DA DA DA. DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO BANANA NA NA NA MAH NA MAH NA MAH NA MAH NA MAH NA MAH NA.

          [00:30:05]
[APPLAUSE]. 
          I TOLD THEM THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING THAT I WANTED THEM TO. 
          SO THAT WAS WONDERFUL. NICE WORK. OUR NEXT PIECE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A STORY. 
          IF YOU'RE ONE OF MY FOUR SOLOISTS, CAN YOU COME UP HERE AND GET YOURSELF SORTED OUT WHILE
I TALK? YEP. 
          YOU'RE ONE OF THEM. ASK THEM. YEAH, I'LL HELP YOU. 
          THIS IS A PIECE THAT WE KIND OF COLLABORATIVELY WROTE. 
          AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I ASKED THE KIDS TO TO GIVE ME SOME IDEAS OF SOME THINGS THAT
MADE THEM FEEL BAD AND SAD. 
          BECAUSE WE'RE PLAYING THE BLUES, RIGHT? SO BAD AND SAD IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS. 
          AND WE TALKED ABOUT HOW AT SCHOOL, SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T SAY REALLY NICE THINGS TO YOU. 
          AND SO I DECIDED TO WRITE A SONG ABOUT THAT. OH,
LOOK, WE GOT A LITTLE WE GOT A LITTLE BASS AND DRUMS DROPPING IN. 
          HAVE THESE GUYS FOLLOW ME AROUND SO I CAN JUST TALK WITH THIS COOL JAM GOING ON. 
          IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE PRACTICED THIS. ALL RIGHT,
SO WE GOT SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO BE DOING IN SCHOOL. WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE TALKING TRASH. 
          WE'RE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING NICE. ONE. TWO. THREE. 
          BACK. 
          TO TRY AND FIND. 
          SOMETHING. IN THE HALLWAY. 
          ON THE PLAYGROUND. IN THE CLASSROOM. EVERYWHERE. 
          SAY. SEE SOMETHING. 
          SAY SOMETHING NICE. FOR. 
          THE FIRST TIME EVER. I. 
          TRIED. AND I. 
          TRIED. TO SAY SOMETHING NICE ONE MORE TIME. 
          CAN. YOU SAY SOMETHING NICE? [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE. THAT WAS AWESOME. 
          AWESOME. THANKS. THAT WAS SO GOOD. THANK YOU. 
          FOX PACK. WAY TO GO! SO COOL. THAT WAS AMAZING.

          THANK YOU. AWESOME. GO GET THOSE KIDS ICE CREAM. 
          YOU'RE AWESOME. GOOD JOB. YEAH YEAH 
          [00:35:04]
YEAH, YEAH. I'LL PROBABLY WRITE THEM. I'M GOING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER CLAP BECAUSE LIKE
THAT. 
          WHAT A GREAT. [APPLAUSE] WE SHOULD HAVE MUSIC EVERY 30 MINUTES. 
          WOW. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE BOARD SUPERINTENDENT REPORT. 
          [3. SYSTEMS/PATHWAYS]
GEEZ. THANKS, CONNIE. HOW DO YOU FOLLOW THAT? YEAH, I CAN PROBABLY DO IT IN A LITTLE JAZZY WAY. 
          [SINGING] ENROLLMENT. ALRIGHT, WELL, THANKS,
GUYS. 
          GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE. AND THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING. 
          IT'S JUST AMAZING. EVERYTHING YOU'RE GETTING TO OR TRYING TO GET TO,
INCLUDING YOUR DAY JOBS, WHICH IS I KNOW A LOT. SO I KNOW OUR BUILDING ADMINISTRATORS,
OUR STAFF REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE AND OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM OVER HERE. 
          WE JUST COMPLIMENT YOU ALL THE TIME. NOT EVERYBODY HAS A GROUP LIKE THIS IN THEIR
DISTRICT, SO THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO START OFF WITH ENROLLMENT AS USUAL. 
          LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET TO IT. SO NOT A LOT TO WRITE HOME ABOUT HERE. 
          PRETTY STABLE ACROSS THE DISTRICT. WE'RE AT 6,887 STUDENTS NOW. 
          THIS IS AS OF JANUARY 5TH, SO I'LL HAVE SOME UPDATED NUMBERS FOR YOU BY THE FEBRUARY
MEETING. 
          SO STILL ABOVE PROJECTION, WHICH WAS 6,758, A LITTLE OVER 4,000 STUDENTS IN SECONDARY AND
JUST UNDER 3,000 IN ELEMENTARY. 
          A COUPLE CHANGES YOU CAN SEE IN PARENTHESES THERE GAINED ONE IN CCA. 
          CHS LOST FOUR BUT AGAIN, VERY TYPICAL, ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE NOW GETTING TOWARDS THE WELL,
WE JUST ENDED THE FIRST SEMESTER AND GETTING INTO THE SECOND SEMESTER. 
          DHS LOST THREE AND HAYES LOST TWO. BUT AGAIN,
FOR FOR PRETTY LARGE SCHOOLS, THAT'S PRETTY TYPICAL MIDDLE SCHOOL PRETTY STABLE ACROSS THE BOARD. YOU KNOW, OUR LARGE MIDDLE SCHOOLS LIBERTY GAINED ONE STUDENT,
SKYRIDGE LOST THREE AND ODYSSEY TWO AND ONE LOST IN CCA MIDDLE SCHOOL. ELEMENTARY, AGAIN, PRETTY STABLE ACROSS THE BOARD. 
          WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON HELEN BALLER THERE WITH THE LOSS OF FOUR STUDENTS. 
          WHEN WE TALKED TO OUR PRINCIPALS, IT'S STILL THAT SAME KIND OF NARRATIVE AROUND JUST
AFFORDABILITY. 
          FAMILIES GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THEY JUST CAN'T AFFORD THE RENT. 
          OR AND OR THEY JUST NEED TO LEAVE FOR JOB OPPORTUNITIES. 
          WE'RE NOT HEARING THAT PEOPLE ARE LEAVING OUT OF DISSATISFACTION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          IT'S MOSTLY ECONOMICAL IS WHAT WE'RE HEARING. 
          SO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. AND KIM WILL PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THIS IN HER REPORT,
BUT WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO DOING PROJECTIONS OF COURSE, FOR NEXT YEAR. SO IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE HOUSING MARKET IS,
IS BRINGING TO US. 
          AND LISTENING TO CHRIS REYKDAL’S MOST RECENT REPORT,
THE STATE IS SEEING THE SAME THING AS WE ARE. 
          THE ISSUE IS THE YOUNG FAMILIES NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE IN. 
          AND THEY'RE SEEING IT ACROSS THE STATE. AND WE'RE OF COURSE,
WE'RE PROJECTING THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT IN CAMAS. 
          AND CONNIE AND MATTHEW AND I WERE AT CITY SCHOOLS TODAY,
PRETTY MUCH THE COMMENT WAS, HEY, WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN. WE HAVE SOME AFFORDABLE HOMES COMING UP,
SOME TOWNHOMES, BUT WE'RE STILL TALKING 3 TO 5 YEARS BEFORE FULL OCCUPANCY ON MOST OF THOSE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE A STRUGGLE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS WITH REALLY
GETTING BACK ON TRACK WITH ENROLLMENT. 
          I THINK OUR GOAL IS TRYING TO STAY AS STABLE AS WE CAN,
STILL TRYING TO PROVIDE A GREAT, GREAT SERVICE AND EDUCATION FOR FOR THE FAMILIES THAT ARE HERE AND OF COURSE, THOSE COMING IN. BUT IT'S NOT THAT PEOPLE DON'T DESIRE TO BE HERE. 
          IT'S JUST PHYSICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY. CAN WE SO JUST EXPECT THAT SAME KIND OF NARRATIVE
FOR A LITTLE BIT. 
          AND WE'RE TRYING TO STAY AS POSITIVE AS WE CAN. 
          SO THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS, SIR. ALL RIGHT. YOU GUYS HIT A LOT ON THE ON THE COMMITTEES
AGAIN, BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A COUPLE QUICK UPDATES,
AS MATTHEW SAID AND COREY SAID WITH THE ARTS ADVISORY MISSION AND VISION HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED, SUBCOMMITTEES ARE ROCKING AND ROLLING. 
          BUT WHAT I LOVE IS WE JUST WENT OVER THE VALUES THAT CAME FROM OUR,
MUSIC AND ARTS EDUCATORS. 
          SO A SURVEY WAS PUT OUT TO THOSE EDUCATORS. WE HAD 11 COME BACK,
I BELIEVE, OUT OF 17. 
          SO NOT TOO BAD. AND THE NARRATIVE WAS REALLY AROUND YOU KNOW,
MAKING SURE THAT OUR DISTRICT RISES, ART AND MUSIC TO THE SAME LEVEL, AS ALL OF OUR OTHER PROGRAMS. AND THE OTHER CONSISTENT MESSAGE IS WE REALLY,
REALLY COULD USE SOME DIRECT SUPPORTS, WHETHER THAT IS FROM TEACHING AND LEARNING, WHETHER THAT'S A TOSA, SOME SORT OF DIRECT COORDINATION,
WHO WE CAN GO TO FOR CURRICULUM SUPPORTS, FOR NEEDS, FOR WANTS, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A PHYSICAL NEEDS OF THE BUILDING OR THEIR
CLASSROOMS. AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AS WE LOOK TO SHORE UP OUR TEACHING AND
LEARNING TEAM AS WE GET INTO THE SUMMER AND NEXT YEAR, 
          [00:40:01]
WE REALLY WILL BE FOCUSED ON TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN ARTS AND MUSIC
BACKGROUND. 
          YOU KNOW, TOSAS ARE ARE CHALLENGING, RIGHT? BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES DURING REDUCTIONS,
THOSE ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE TO REDUCE BACK TO THE CLASSROOM. 
          SO I WANT TO TRY TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT GOING THE TOSA ROUTE UNLESS IT'S A GRANT FUNDED
POSITION. 
          AND SO REALLY LOOKING AT IF AND WHEN WE GO WITH A DIRECTOR POSITION OR A POSITION TO LEAD
TEACHING AND LEARNING SOMEBODY WITH THAT TYPE OF BACKGROUND, I THINK COULD BE A REAL SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. 
          BECAUSE THE ARTS, AS WE'RE LEARNING, HAVE TENANTS ALL ACROSS THE CURRICULUM AND ALL ACROSS
THE DISTRICT. 
          SO I'M JUST LEARNING A LOT FROM THAT COMMITTEE,
AND I'M SURE YOU GUYS ARE TOO. 
          IT'S A LOT OF FUN. AND THEN ALIGNING WORK TO OUR CAMPUS STRATEGIC PLAN AS,
AS MATTHEW SAID, BUDGET COMMITTEE. WE HAVE OUR, CO-CHAIRS UP FOR ELECTION. 
          WE'RE DOING THAT WITH AN ANONYMOUS SURVEY. SO BY OUR NEXT MEETING,
WE'LL HAVE OUR TWO CO-CHAIRS FOR THAT AND THEN WE'RE STARTING TO REALLY LOOK AT FORECASTING FUTURE BUDGETS. KIM AND MATT CAMPBELL ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB REALLY LEADING
THROUGH THAT WORK. 
          AND REALLY LOOKING AT COST, SYSTEM COST REVIEW. 
          SO WE KNOW THAT WE ARE VERY, VERY LEAN IN THE BUILDINGS AND HERE AT CENTRAL OFFICE. 
          AND IF WE DO AT SOME POINT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANY TYPE OF REDUCTIONS,
WE'RE LOOKING AT SYSTEMS WHERE COULD WE SHORE UP SOME SOME MAJOR SYSTEMS ACROSS OUR DISTRICT. SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS LOOKING AT. 
          WE'RE ALSO STARTING TO REALLY DIVE INTO THE LEVY,
WHICH WILL BE UP COMING UP BEFORE WE KNOW IT, AND REALLY MAKING SOME RECOMMENDATIONS, CONSIDERATIONS TO THE BOARD AROUND WHERE DO WE
NEED TO GO WITH THE LEVY? ARE WE LOOKING AT MAXING OUT THE LEVY. ARE WE GOING TO BE MORE CONSERVATIVE? WHAT'S THE FEEL OF THE COMMUNITY? WE REALLY HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT THE ECONOMY SAYS. 
          ARE PEOPLE GOING TO BE WILLING AND ABLE TO REALLY GIVE MORE YOU KNOW,
IN PROPERTY TAXES. 
          SO A LOT OF GOOD DISCUSSION THERE. AND I THINK IT'S REALLY JUST HEATING UP AS WE GET INTO
THE SPRING MONTHS. 
          AND THEN CITIZEN ADVISORY AGAIN, A LOT OF WORK AROUND THE AI,
BOTH IN THE CLASSROOM AND AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL PROVIDING GUIDANCE FOR OUR STAFF AND OUR STUDENTS. AND WE'RE REALLY, REALLY CLOSE TO HAVING A CLASSROOM PROTOCOL READY TO
GO TO YOU. 
          WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE A POLICY RECOMMENDATION OR JUST REALLY MORE OF A RECOMMENDATION
THAT WE CAN PROVIDE TO OUR TEACHERS AND OUR STAFF AS WELL AS OUR STUDENTS. 
          AND SO REALLY, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE A MORE OF A LEAD IN THE REGION AROUND
THIS. 
          I THINK WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN JUNE AROUND THE AI SUMMIT THAT OUR SUPERINTENDENT GROUP
IS HELPING TO PUT TOGETHER OVER AT WOODLAND. 
          THEY'RE GOING TO BE HOSTING AN AI SUMMIT. AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN REALLY PULL SOME
GREAT IDEAS FROM THERE TOO. 
          SO PROBABLY NOT MOVING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE IN SOME EYES,
BUT. 
          IN OTHER WAYS, WE WANT TO BE CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE THAT THE RIGHT GUIDANCE IS OUT THERE
FOR OUR STAFF AND STUDENTS. 
          SO SOME GOOD WORK GOING ON IN OUR COMMITTEES,
NOT TO MENTION SAC, EAC AND ALL THE OTHER AC'S THAT ARE OUT THERE. 
          BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THAT. 
          OH GO AHEAD. OKAY. I'LL GO BACK TO THAT. OH I WAS JUST I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY JUST FOR,
FOR BUDGET COMMITTEE STUFF, JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF TALK AROUND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF DISTRICTS AROUND THERE RUNNING LEVIES RIGHT NOW. I KNOW BATTLE
GROUND, HOCKINSON, WASHOUGAL OURS IS NOT OURS IS NOT UP UNTIL LIKE 2028 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. YEAH. THE SPRING OF 2027 IS STILL VERY,
VERY EARLY. 
          I JUST DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO BE THINKING INCLUDING HOCKINSON. AND SO WE'RE CROSSING OUR FINGERS AND OUR TOES FOR THEM. 
          BUT YEAH, WE HAVE A LITTLE WAYS TO GO. BUT I DO THINK. 
          COREY, THAT THE LANDSCAPE AROUND WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE WILL BE ABLE TO BASE
A LOT ON WHAT OUR DECISIONS ARE. 
          SO THANKS FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. OH, MATTHEW. 
          I HAD A QUICK QUESTION. YOU SAID YOU WERE DOING SYSTEM COST REVIEWS. 
          ARE WE ALSO DOING PROGRAM? I MEAN, DOES THAT INCLUDE LIKE OUR DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS? YEAH EVERYTHING THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY PEOPLE RELATED. 
          RIGHT. SO ANYTHING LIKE CURRICULUM REVIEWS PROGRAMS,
SYSTEMS, ANYTHING THAT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE ATTACHED TO A HUMAN RIGHT OR ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES. SO THAT COULD BE LOOKING AT FOOD SERVICE,
THAT COULD BE LOOKING AT TRANSPORTATION SOME OF THOSE BIG TICKET ITEMS THAT SOMETIMES ARE, YOU KNOW, RUNNING US IN THE RED DEPENDING ON WHAT,
WHAT THE SYSTEM IS. 
          SO I THINK KIM'S REALLY, BROUGHT A GOOD OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE ON THAT,
ESPECIALLY COMING FROM A LARGER DISTRICT LIKE EVERGREEN AND SEEING SOME WAYS THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TIGHTEN OUR BELTS THAT, LIKE I SAID,
ARE NOT NECESSARILY RELATED TO HUMAN CAPITAL. 
          SO THANKS, CONNIE. MATTHEW. I WAS JUST GOING TO COMMENT ON THE ARTS. 
          I MEAN, I THINK THE ARTS ONE IS IS NEWEST TO US. 
          [00:45:02]
SO WE ARE YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE HEADWAY. 
          AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS ONE THAT IS UNIQUE BECAUSE WE DO INVITE ALL OF THE ARTS
EDUCATORS, EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT A MEMBER. SO THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE,
IF YOU EVER WANT TO COME TO AN ARTS ADVISORY, THEY SHOULD BE GETTING THE THE INVITE FOR THAT. BUT I'M REALLY OPTIMISTIC ON THAT. I MEAN,
ALL THE COMMITTEES THAT WE HAVE, THREE OF THEM. 
          BUT THIS ONE, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SOME REAL HEADWAY AND IT'S REESTABLISHING OUR
VALUES, WHEREAS THE OTHERS HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY ESTABLISHED WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR VALUES. 
          SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. I KNOW COREY IS IT'S A GREAT,
GREAT TIME FOR US. 
          SO AND PEOPLE STAY FOR SOMETIMES AN HOUR AFTER THE MEETING,
HOW MANY PEOPLE STAY AT A COMMITTEE MEETING AND THEN STAY FOR AN HOUR? I'VE BEEN THERE FOR AN HOUR BEFORE. AFTER. SO AWESOME. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON. SOME OF YOU HIT ON THIS ALREADY,
BUT A REALLY, REALLY ROBUST SAC BOARD WORKSHOP LAST MONTH. WELL, REALLY EARLIER THIS MONTH, THE STUDENTS WERE PHENOMENAL. 
          I RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM, I THINK, ALL OF YOU,
AND I THINK YOU REALLY ENJOYED THE SETUP AND HAVING THOSE COLLABORATIVE TABLES SET UP. 
          THANKS TO MR. WILLIAMS, MR. JAQUES FOR BEING THERE FROM THE ADMIN FRONT AND REALLY
ENGAGING WITH THE KIDS, YOU CAN SEE SOME PICTURES HERE. ON THE RIGHT ON THE FAR LEFT THAT'S A PICTURE FROM PRUNE
HILL WHERE OUR SAC WENT AND DID WINDOWS AND MIRRORS. 
          SO AGAIN, SHOUT OUT TO KATIE AND SHAUNA FOR LEADING THAT AND OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR
TEACHERS FOR BEING SO ACCOMMODATING TO THE KIDS AND YOU KNOW, CONTINUING THAT LABELING LESSON MY DAUGHTER'S IN FIFTH GRADE THIS YEAR,
SO IT WAS THE FIRST TIME SHE GOT IT IN. 
          WE HAD A REALLY GOOD TALK ABOUT IT AT AT HOME THAT NIGHT. 
          AND SO SHE GOT A LOT OUT OF IT. AND SO A LOT OF HER FRIENDS. 
          SO FROM HER OUR MUSIC TONIGHT. YEAH, RIGHT. SAME THING. 
          YEAH. THE WINDOWS AND MIRRORS. I'M STILL IMPRESSED HOW EVERY TIME THERE'S SOMETHING NEW
THE STUDENTS IDENTIFY TO IMPROVE UPON. 
          AND IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS, HAS GONE ON, AND NEW STUDENTS COME IN AND THEY'RE LIKE,
THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO DO IT. 
          AND SO IT'S CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT, RIGHT, SHAUNA? YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. AND AGAIN, THE CONVERSATIONS AT THOSE TABLES AT THE WORKSHOP WERE JUST
SPOT ON. 
          AND WE GOT SO MUCH OUT OF THOSE. AND I LEARNED A LOT AS WELL OF WHAT THE KIDS NEED AND
WHAT THEY WANT AND WHAT THEY'RE SEEING BOTH INSIDE THE CLASSROOM AND OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. 
          SO I ALSO THINK I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, TOO,
THAT WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT COMMITTEES TONIGHT. 
          I LOVE THAT IN THE COMMITTEES THAT I'VE BEEN SITTING ON,
LIKE BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE AND EVEN OUR ARTS ONE. 
          WE HAVE MORE STUDENT VOICE DIRECTLY ON THE COMMITTEE,
WHICH HAS BEEN NICE. 
          I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED. I THINK IT WAS IT THE LEGISLATIVE ONE THAT WE HAD A COUPLE OF NEW
STUDENTS AT. 
          I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST IT'S IT'S GREAT THAT WE'RE GETTING THAT VOICE OUT THERE. AND I
KNOW TALKING FROM THAT WORKSHOP, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT WITH SOME OF THE SOME OF THE STUDENTS IN OUR
GROUP. 
          I WOULD LIKE IF IT'S POSSIBLE, I'D LIKE TO GET US ON KIND OF OR AT LEAST GET CALENDAR
INVITES FOR THE SAC MEETINGS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT AREN'T WEDNESDAYS BECAUSE I THE MONDAY NIGHT ONES,
JUST TO REMIND THAT. 
          AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN KIND OF GET A ROTATION. IT SOUNDS LIKE MATTHEW'S GOING TO A LOT OF
THEM, BUT I'D LOVE TO MAKE SURE IF WE CAN, IF WE CAN HAVE TWO BOARD MEMBERS WITHOUT, YOU KNOW,
HAVING A QUORUM, IT'D BE GREAT TO TO JUST GET IN THERE AND GET A LITTLE BIT MORE FACE TIME, KEEP BUILDING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS. ABSOLUTELY. 
          THERE'S A GOOGLE CLASSROOM. THAT'S HOW I KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING FOR THOSE STUDENTS. IT'S
REALLY KIND OF NICE BECAUSE THEN I DON'T GET TO EXPERIENCE GOOGLE CLASSROOM EVER. IF YOU'VE NEVER DONE IT, YOU'RE LIKE, OH, IT'S EASY TO SEE. 
          THERE'S A MEETING THIS WEDNESDAY, RIGHT? 2 TO 3. 
          SO I LOVE THAT. WE HAD A STUDENT ON BUDGET COMMITTEE THAT WAS NOMINATED TO BE CO-CHAIR,
SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY, PRETTY COOL. MOVING ON A LITTLE BIT MORE ON LEGISLATIVE. 
          SO THE FEBRUARY 5TH DATE THAT'S ON THERE, UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK OUT,
BUT IT'S SO IMPRESSIVE THAT THE TEAM WANTS TO GET UP THERE AND CARAVAN UP TO OLYMPIA. AND SO JUST A REMINDER OF REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THIS SESSION AND
BEYOND IS TRULY JUST LOOKING AT THAT PRE-K-12 EQUITABLE FINANCIAL SYSTEM. YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT I HEAR. AND DEREK COULD,
YOU KNOW, LET ME KNOW IF I'M WRONG HERE, BUT FROM WHAT I'M HEARING THE MSOC BILLS ARE JUST NOT GOING WELL. 
          THEY'RE KIND OF GETTING STOPPED IN THEIR TRACKS. AND WE HAD AN ASSUMPTION THAT IN A SHORT
SESSION IN A BUDGET DEFICIT YEAR, THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. THEY'RE STILL KIND OF ALL OVER THE MAP AS FAR AS WHAT THE
DEFICIT IS. 
          BUT THE NUMBER REALLY THAT WE'RE HEARING IS ABOUT $2 BILLION DEFICIT. 
          AND SO I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT THAT'S NOT GOING FAR. 
          BUT WE STILL, AS WE ALWAYS SAY, WE NEED TO KEEP PLANTING THAT SEED SPECIAL EDUCATION
ALWAYS ON THE MAP. 
          AND THEN THAT OVERALL MESSAGE OF PROTECTING RESOURCES. 
          SO AT END ALL BE ALL JUST NO CUTS TO EDUCATION IF ANYTHING COMES OUT OF THIS SESSION. 
          JUST A COUPLE REMINDERS. WE PUT THIS OUT TO THE STAFF A WEEK OR TWO AGO,
JUST WITH ALL THE RETIREMENTS. 
          I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD IS UPDATED ON SOME OF THE STAFFING CHANGES. 
          SO WITH COMMUNITY ED, KEEP IN MIND, WE NO LONGER HAVE A DIRECTOR WITH MARY RETIRING,
BUT RACHEL BEST IS A MANAGER AND WE WERE ABLE TO USE SOME OF THE SAVINGS TO 
          [00:50:02]
BRING IN CARI WOOD, WHO'S OVERSEEING OUR PRESCHOOL OPERATIONS. 
          WE ALSO HIRED LOGAN JOHNSON AS A COORDINATOR. 
          SO TECHNICALLY, HE REPLACED RACHEL WHO'S NOW HANDLING A LOT OF OUR TOURNAMENTS AND OUR
BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL AND ALL THE SCHEDULING. 
          AND THEN BRENDA SNELL, WHO'S BEEN WITH US FOR A LONG TIME,
MOVED INTO CARE AND RUDOLPH'S FORMER SPOT. 
          CAPITAL PROJECTS WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE GEORGE EWING. 
          I KNOW CONNIE AND MATTHEW MET HIM AT CITY SCHOOLS TONIGHT. 
          HE'S REALLY, REALLY ON TOP OF THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO THE LANDSCAPE OF WHAT WE'RE AT,
WITH PROPERTIES, DOING SOME GOOD WORK, WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR BROKER ON GETTING SOME MOVEMENT ON
PROPERTIES. 
          OUR PARALEGAL STARTED TODAY. SO HOPEFULLY YOU'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO MEET ALYX. 
          AND WE HAVE HER ALREADY WORKING ON POLICY AND PROCEDURES. 
          I KNOW IT'S A HAPPY DAY FOR SHAUNA. SHE HAD A BIG SMILE ON HER FACE ALL DAY. 
          GAIL WOULD BE PROUD IF SHE WAS HERE. AND ALSO,
WE'LL GET HER GOING ON SOME HIB COMPLIANCE PRETTY SOON AND KIND OF SLOWING HER INTO IT. 
          BUT SHE'S A SHARP, SHARP PERSON FROM THE LEGAL WORLD,
SO IT'S REALLY NICE TO HAVE SOME LEGAL ASSISTANCE. 
          NOT NECESSARILY GUIDANCE OR ADVICE, BUT REALLY JUST THAT COMPLIANCE PIECE RIGHT ON STAFF. 
          AND THEN KEEP IN MIND THE SALARY FROM THAT WAS WHEN WE MOVED SHAUNA INTO GAIL'S POSITION,
WE DID NOT REPLACE SHAUNA. 
          SO THAT SALARY JUST SLID OVER TO THE PARALEGAL. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, WE DID HAVE A RESIGNATION IN STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS,
AND WE BROUGHT IN LINDY VOLK, WHO'S BEEN GREAT WORKING OVER IN THE TECH SIDE OF THE HOUSE. 
          SO JUST SO YOU HAVE IT ON RECORD SO YOU CAN KIND OF PUT FACES WITH NAMES AS YOU,
AS YOU MEET THESE PEOPLE. 
          JUST A CONTINUED FOCUS ON PROFILE OF GRADUATE AND EVERYTHING WE DO. 
          I APPRECIATE THE BOARD, REALLY EYEING THOSE THINGS AS YOU GO TO COMMITTEES,
AS YOU GO TO CLASSROOMS, AS YOU VISIT KIDS AND TEACHERS, YOU'RE SEEING THAT FOCUS. 
          AND THIS YEAR, SPECIFICALLY AROUND BEING A WELLNESS NAVIGATOR AND A SELF-EMPOWERED LEARNER
NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE MOVING INTO THE CRITICAL THINKER ROLE, WHICH SHOULD BE A LOT OF FUN. SO WE'LL JUST KEEP ADDING ONE TRAIT EVERY YEAR. 
          I JUST ALWAYS WANT TO BRING THIS ONE UP, AT LEAST THROUGH THE SESSION. FIRST OF ALL,
I LOVE THE PICTURE, BUT MOSTLY I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE TAKEAWAYS FROM WSSDA WAS CONTINUING TO
PRIORITIZE AND LEVERAGE AI TO CONTINUE TO BUILD A STRONGER STUDENT VOICE IN OUR DISTRICT, WHICH I'M FEELING REALLY GOOD ABOUT,
AND THAT POST-SECONDARY DATA ANALYSIS, WHICH I STILL NEED TO GET ON. AND I THINK AS THE YEAR STARTS TO ROUND OUT,
WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THE BOARD SOME MORE INFORMATION ON THAT. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, OUR OVERALL THEORY OF ACTION PUTTING A LOT OF FOCUS ON THOSE
TRANSITIONAL YEARS. 
          SO THIS THURSDAY, THE 29TH, WE'LL BE USING THAT TITLE TWO MONEY THAT I SPOKE ABOUT TO
BRING IN SOME TEACHERS TO REALLY DIG INTO THOSE FIFTH TO SIXTH GRADE YEARS AND THOSE EIGHTH TO NINTH GRADE YEARS,
AND LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN PULL SOME VERTICAL ALIGNMENT INTO OUR DISTRICT. 
          SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND THAT REALLY ALIGNS TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AROUND THE NINTH
GRADE ON TRACK TO GRADUATE DATA. 
          AND THESE ARE ALL LINKS HERE. I CAN GO INTO THOSE IF YOU WANT ME TO,
BUT THOSE ARE ALL HYPERLINKS IF YOU WANT TO CLICK ON THOSE. 
          SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE THERE IS THE WASHINGTON STATE SNAPSHOT WHERE OUR STATE STANDS. 
          WE HAVE THE CAMAS SCHOOL SNAPSHOT WHICH IS REALLY,
REALLY STRONG DATA. 
          BUT THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE AREAS THAT WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS ON VERY,
VERY INCREMENTAL DROPS AND VERY, VERY INCREMENTAL RAISES. AND PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE OUR SCORES ARE VERY,
VERY STRONG. 
          SO YOU'RE NOT I MEAN, IT WOULD WORRY ME IF WE WERE SEEING SOME REAL,
REAL DIVES OR EVEN SOME ANOMALY GAINS. 
          BUT IF YOU AS YOU LOOK AT THOSE, YOU'LL SEE THERE'S SOME AREAS THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO
HONE IN ON. 
          AND COINCIDENTALLY, THAT NINTH GRADE ON TRACK DROPPED A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR. 
          SO THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO PUT SO MUCH EMPHASIS ON ON THOSE STUDENTS. 
          DID YOU WANT ME TO POP THOSE OPEN OR? WELL, NINTH GRADE ON TRACK? I KNOW WE JUST FINISHED A SEMESTER. WILL WE GET THOSE UPDATED IN A FEW WEEKS? WE'LL HAVE TO DO THAT OURSELVES. IS THIS ARE THIS OSPI. 
          THAT'S OSPI DATA. OKAY. BUT WE CAN DIG IN TO DO SOME INTERNAL DATA. 
          YEAH. YEAH. IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND BUT WE WON'T GET OSPI DATA UNTIL NEXT YEAR. 
          SO THIS IS PRETTY HOT OFF THE PRESS THOUGH. BUT YOU'RE RIGHT IT'S DELAYED FROM LAST YEAR. 
          RIGHT. BUT IT'S STILL SOMETHING TO LOOK AT. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE WASHINGTON STATE NINTH
GRADE ON TRACK WERE ALMOST A FULL 10%, MAYBE EIGHT AND A HALF, 9% ABOVE. SO WE'RE IN A GOOD PLACE,
BUT NOT IN TERMS OF WHERE WE WANT TO BE IN CAMAS. 
          RIGHT. AND SO JUST DATA TO LOOK AT. DID YOU WANT ME TO POP ANYTHING OPEN OR DO YOU GUYS
WANT TO DIG INTO THAT. 
          AND MAYBE WE CAN BRING IT UP AT THE NEXT WORKSHOP? IT'S UP TO YOU. I DID HAVE A JUST A COMMENT ON THE LAST ONE ON THE [INAUDIBLE],
BECAUSE IT MADE ME THINK WHEN I WAS AT GRASS VALLEY. 
          AGAIN, I KNOW WE HAD OUR BUILDING ADMIN CAME IN TO OUR WORKSHOP. 
          THEY SHARED THEIR [INAUDIBLE] THAT THEN TRANSLATE DOWN TO THEIR STAFF. 
          [00:55:01]
AND I SAW THAT IN ACTION WITH THE MLL BECAUSE THAT WAS SEAN'S RIGHT. 
          AND GETTING TO SEE THAT COLLABORATION MEETING BETWEEN OUR PARAS AND OUR EDUCATORS IT WOULD
BE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE BOARD WOULD FEEL WE COULD DISCUSS AT A FUTURE MEETING,
BUT REALLY GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE IMPACT OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S THE BUILDING ADMINS WAS HEARING FROM SOME OF THE STAFF THAT HAVE IMPLEMENTED THAT,
BECAUSE THAT REALLY RESONATED WHEN I GOT TO SIT IN THAT COLLABORATION MEETING. 
          YOU SEE, YOU KNOW SEAN'S [INAUDIBLE] AND HOW THAT TRANSLATED DOWN TO HIS TEAM. 
          AND I ASKED THEM THOSE QUESTIONS LIKE, DID THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? THEY'RE LIKE,
ABSOLUTELY. I LOVE THAT. AND DEREK, WE MEET WITH THE PRINCIPALS TOMORROW MORNING. SO MAYBE WE CAN JOT THAT DOWN TO SEE IF THEY'RE WILLING TO MAYBE OUR NEXT WORKSHOP OR DOWN THE ROAD
HAVE SOME OF THAT STAFF COME IN. 
          IS THIS JUST SOME WAY. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE SEEING A SENSE OF BELONGING IS
IMPORTANT AT SKYRIDGE, IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HEAR FROM, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S ASB LEAD OR TEACHERS. JUST AGAIN, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN THE CLASSROOM WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THEY'VE GOT
A HIGHER PARTICIPATION RATE OF STUDENTS IN GROUPS AND CLUBS? RIGHT. IT'S ONE THING TO HEAR FROM BUILDING ADMIN. I LOVE IT,
BUT I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE EDUCATORS THAT SAY IT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME. 
          THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME AND I CAN SEE THE IMPACT ON STUDENTS. 
          OR MAYBE WE'RE MISSING THE MARK ON SOME THINGS THAT WE NEED TO SUPPORT. 
          OKAY IF IT DOESN'T. BUT IT JUST IT FEELS LIKE THE ONE THING THAT I ALWAYS FELT LIKE
ROUNDING IT OUT WOULD BE GREAT. OKAY, THANKS. WE GOT THAT DOWN. YEAH, QUICKLY. WITH THE NINTH GRADE ON TRACK,
IT WOULD WITH THAT CURRENT DIPSTICK. 
          IT WOULD BE NICE TO. MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO IDENTIFY OUR NINTH GRADERS WHO
AREN'T ON TRACK, AND THEN PLANS GET PUT IN PLACE TO GET THEM BACK ON TRACK BY THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF WE PUT OUR NINTH GRADERS IN CREDIT RECOVERY. 
          I KNOW THE SCHOOL I WORK AT, YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL 11TH GRADE,
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, WHAT SORT OF WHAT THE RECOVERY PLAN IS IN GENERAL. 
          BUT JUST FINDING OUT, YOU KNOW WHERE WE AT? ARE WE STILL TRACKING 79.7% OR WE HAVE 85% ON
TRACK? IT'S JUST A GOOD BAROMETER TO KEEP AN EYE ON MID-YEAR AND SEE HOW THAT CHANGES BY THE END
OF THE YEAR. 
          AND ONE OTHER THING ON THAT SLIDE, THE WASHINGTON STATE SNAPSHOT AND THE CAMAS SCHOOL GOT
THE SAME LINK TO ME. 
          SO IT SHOULD BE A DIFFERENT DOCUMENT. RIGHT? I JUST WAS PULLING HIM UP. SO I'LL DOUBLE
CHECK THAT. 
          AND IT'S NOT IT'S PRETTY EASY TO GET INTO CAMAS,
BUT I'LL CHECK THAT LINK FOR YOU. 
          THANKS. TRACEY. ANYTHING ELSE ON ON THIS? SO YEAH,
WE, I WAS THINKING THIS COULD BE A REALLY GOOD CONVERSATION FOR OUR NEXT WORKSHOP. 
          I KNOW WE HAVE ANOTHER ITEM, BUT THIS WILL BE A GOOD. 
          YEAH. PIGGYBACK ITEM. OKAY. IN THERE? ALRIGHT. 
          JUST THE LAST COUPLE THINGS. THIS WAS A REALLY NEAT EVENT OVER AT HELEN BALLER IT WAS
CALLED MOOD BOOST, AND IT'S DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN WHAT THEY EAT AND HOW THEY
FEEL. 
          WITH A FOCUS ON SUPPORTING THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING THROUGH FOOD. 
          SO AGAIN IT'S SO NEAT WHAT CHARTWELLS HAS REALLY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE. 
          IT'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT ADDITION TO OUR DISTRICT. SO STUDENTS HERE THEY WERE ENGAGED AND
ENTHUSIASTIC. 
          IT WAS TRULY A JOYFUL EXPERIENCE. TWO DAYS, TWO GRADE LEVELS,
SEVEN CLASSES AND A BUNCH OF SMILING FACES. 
          SO COOL. COOL EVENT. NO MILK TO OPEN. THAT'S THERE EVERY TIME A LACAMAS LAKE OPENING THOSE
MILK CONTAINERS. 
          YES. MY GOODNESS. STILL, SCIENCE HAS NOT EVOLVED. 
          THAT WAS SO MUCH EASIER AS A KID. NOW IT'S LIKE THESE BIG FINGERS. 
          I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. ANYWAY AND I JUST A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ROTARY. 
          I JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THAT. THAT GROUP,
THEY ADDED OUR FINAL BUDDY BENCH. 
          SO NOW WE HAVE A BUDDY BENCH OVER AT LIBERTY SKYRIDGE AND NOW OUR PBL CAMPUS SO YOU CAN
SEE THEM, THEY PUT THE WORK IN THEMSELVES AND PUT THOSE BENCHES IN. 
          SO I'M GETTING TO KNOW THEM REALLY, REALLY WELL AND JUST GREAT PEOPLE. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE THIS WAS AGAIN A PICTURE FROM PRUNE HILL,
ANOTHER SHOUT OUT TO ROTARY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MY BOARD COMMUNICATION. 
          ROTARY CAME FOR LAURA SHEPHERD'S A LITTLE WINGS LIBRARY TO DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL. 
          STUDENTS AT DISCOVERY PLANNED THE LITTLE LIBRARIES. 
          THEY DID THE GRAPHICAL DESIGN FOR IT. THEY MADE A PITCH TO ROTARY FOR FUNDING FOR THOSE. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO THANK ROTARY FOR SHOWING UP TO THAT. 
          BUT ALSO THE STUDENTS PREPARED THE WHOLE PRESENTATION DID THE WHOLE PITCH ALONG WITH
LAURA? IT WAS YEAH, IT WAS. I MISSED IT IN MY BOARD COMMENTS,
BUT IT WAS APPRECIATED. 
          I'LL SAY THERE WAS A GREAT TURNOUT FROM ROTARY ON SATURDAY AT MAYOR MOLLY'S MEMORIAL AND
WAS PACKED WITH ROTARIANS AND SOME OF THEM SPOKE. 
          ACTUALLY, BARB, WHO WAS HERE TONIGHT WITH HER GRANDDAUGHTER SPOKE AS WELL,
AND THEY WERE THERE IN DROVES. 
          SO REALLY GOOD TURNOUT AND FILLED UP THAT WHOLE THEATER OVER IN WASHOUGAL. 
          THANK YOU ROTARY FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. AND AGAIN, HAPPY APPRECIATION MONTH. 
          I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE FOOD AND EVERYONE WHO PUT IN FOR THAT. 
          AND SO WITH THAT SAID I SHOULD ALSO SAY ONE MORE THING. 
          DID THAT SLIDE? OH, IT MADE IT. SO I HAVE TO GIVE A QUICK SHOUT OUT TO DOREEN,
OUR PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. 
          SO I KNOW WE WERE ON A MISSION TO FIND BATMAN AND WE DID. 
          [01:00:01]
AND SO THAT IS BENJAMIN. HE GOES BY BENNY, UNFORTUNATELY,
NO LONGER IN OUR DISTRICT. 
          HE WAS A LACAMAS LAKE KINDERGARTNER THREE YEARS AGO WHEN THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN. 
          AND NOW HE'S IN EVERGREEN, RIGHT? DOREEN. SO? SO WE FOUND HIM. NOW WE JUST HAVE TO GET HIM TO A MEETING. 
          THAT'S THE NEXT. 
          CAN WE GIVE HIM A GIFT BAG THAT WE HAVE? NO. BUT FOR ALL THAT HARD WORK. 
          DOREEN, I GOT YOU A STARBUCKS GIFT CARD. BENNY IS NO LONGER A MEME,
BUT THANK YOU GUYS. 
          IF ANYONE DOESN'T KNOW HOW IMPORTANT BENNY IS RIGHT NOW,
NOW I FEEL. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER JOHN. 
          YES. NOW WE HAVE TO FIND ALL THESE OTHER STUDENTS THAT YOU HAVEN'T MEMED YET. 
          ONE ONE, ONE AT A TIME. OKAY. ALL IN DUE TIME. 
          ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THIS LEADS US TO 3B, OUR MONTHLY BUDGET REPORT. 
          KIM, TAKE IT AWAY. OKAY. I THINK I'LL USE THIS. 
          AFTER WATCHING THOSE KIDS, I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING FUN IN THE FUTURE. 
          NOT ME, BUT BRINGING THE KIDS IN FOR BUDGET STUFF TO MAKE THIS MORE FUN TO WATCH. 
          ALL RIGHT, SO THIS IS OUR DECEMBER BUDGET STATUS. 
          YOU GUYS GOT NOVEMBER'S BUDGET STATUS. JUST THE INFORMATION. 
          AND NOW I'LL SUMMARIZE WHERE WE WERE AT THE END OF DECEMBER. 
          SOME OF THE STUFF WILL BE JANUARY AS WELL, JUST BECAUSE I LIKE TO BE AS CURRENT AS
POSSIBLE. 
          SO HIGHLIGHTS FOR DECEMBER ARE REALLY QUIET RIGHT NOW. 
          SO THAT'S A GOOD THING I LIKE THAT. SO GENERAL FUND,
WE DID SOME EARLY PROJECTIONS IN DECEMBER DURING THE BREAK. 
          AND SO WE'RE ONLY A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH THE YEAR. 
          THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR DOING IT HERE. SO THERE'S A LOT OF UNKNOWNS. 
          BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, IT LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT HAVE AN $800,000 INCREASE TO OUR FUND
BALANCE. 
          SO THAT'S A POSITIVE ENCOURAGING. WHERE I'M SEEING IT RIGHT NOW IS IN BASIC ED AND IN
MSOC. 
          SO REALLY, PEOPLE ARE, YOU KNOW, JUST REALLY WATCHING THEIR PENNIES. 
          THEY KNOW THE SERIOUSNESS OF OUR FINANCES. AND ALSO DURING BUDGET BECAUSE WE MADE SUCH
STEEP CUTS. 
          YOU NEVER KNOW. SOMETIMES SOME OF THE REAL SPECIFIC DETAILS ONCE YOU GET INTO THE YEAR. 
          AND SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE HAVING MORE SAVINGS THAN WE ANTICIPATED. 
          SO THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR THE GENERAL FUND CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND. 
          WE GOT $330,000 IN A LATECOMER FEE WHICH CAN BE SPENT ON ANYTHING. 
          SO THAT'S A NICE LITTLE CHUNK OF MONEY TO SPEND ON FACILITY MAINTENANCE. 
          DEBT SERVICE FUND, WE TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND FOR THIS NON-VOTING DEBT EVERY YEAR. 
          AND IN THE PAST, WE'VE JUST TRANSFERRED OVER ROUNDED $670,000. 
          BUT THIS YEAR I WANTED TO DO THE EXACT AMOUNT SINCE WE ARE. 
          SO WE NEED TO WATCH EVERY PENNY WE HAVE. SO THAT SAVED US $35,000. 
          I KNOW IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT, BUT WHEN YOU DO THIS IN ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT AREAS,
IT ADDS UP. 
          AND SO THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY I LOOK AT THINGS. 
          AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE HAD FOR THE DEBT SERVICE FUND AND THEN THE TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE
FUND. 
          WE FINALLY GOT THOSE FOUR BUSSES. THEY ARRIVED IN DECEMBER. 
          AND SO WE'RE JUST YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE MAYBE AN INVOICE HERE IN OUR NEXT ONE SHOWING THAT
THERE'S SOME EXPENDITURES OUT OF THE TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE FUND. 
          SO AS JOHN ALREADY MENTIONED, OUR ENROLLMENT TREND WE ARE JUST DOWN BARELY A HALF OF A
PERCENT. 
          BUT WE'RE UP FROM BUDGET BY JUST UNDER 100 FTE. 
          THIS IS A SLIDE. I WANTED TO JUST BREAK DOWN THAT 100 FTE INTO SPECIFIC AREAS,
BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU CAN JUST SAY, ALL RIGHT, WE'RE SAVING $835,000. BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SHOW WHERE WE'RE SAVING
THOSE MONIES WITHIN THE APPORTIONMENT. 
          AND SO GENERAL APPORTIONMENT, WHICH IS OUR BASIC ED,
IS WHERE THE BIGGEST CHUNK OF SAVINGS IS COMING FROM INCREASED REVENUE, NOT SAVINGS. $915,000 OUR DROPOUT HAS FOUR ADDITIONAL FTE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 45. 
          WHERE WE'RE SEEING A BIG DECREASE IS IN OUR ALE PROGRAM,
$366,000 DECREASE IN THAT A 35 FTE DECREASE. 
          CTE PROGRAM. WE HAVE A COMBINATION OF MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL 18 FTE INCREASE. 
          SO CLOSE TO $200,000 IN ADDITIONAL MONIES THERE. 
          WE HAVE JUST A LITTLE OVER 2.8. WELL, WE HAVE 2.85 ENROLLMENT INCREASE IN RUNNING START
JUST UNDER $30,000 AND THEN SPED THERE'S TWO AREAS. THAT'S WHY I BROKE IT OUT INTO TWO OF THEM. 
          WE HAVE A BASIC ED PORTION OF IT, WHICH IS JUST ABOUT 20,000. 
          BUT THAT ADDITIONAL ALMOST 30 FTE ACTUALLY GIVES US AROUND $350,000 IN PROGRAM 4121. 
          [01:05:06]
I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE DETAILS OF IT. I JUST WANTED TO BREAK IT OUT TO SHOW WE ARE
DO HAVE INCREASED ENROLLMENT IN SPED. 
          AND IF I ONLY SHOWED YOU 3121 THAT WOULD LOOK REALLY WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE. 
          SO I WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT A LITTLE BIT JUST TO SHOW A BREAKDOWN OF WHERE WE'RE GETTING
THAT ADDITIONAL FUNDING. 
          SO ON REVENUES JUST SHOWING FOR LOCAL FTE, LOCAL FTE LOCAL REVENUES,
IT'S TRENDING UP. 
          WHAT I DID WAS JUST OKAY. AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR,
WE SHOULD BE RECEIVING 33% OF OUR REVENUE. 
          FOR LOCAL WE'VE GOT 42%. AND THAT HAS BEEN STANDARD FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. 
          AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THAT CHART SHOWING EACH. 
          SO IT'S REALLY STEADY. NOTHING NEW TO REPORT. 
          SAME WITH OUR LOCAL NON-TAX YOU KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE BIT UP BY 2%. 
          SO THAT'S GREAT. OUR I'M SORRY I HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME READING THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T READ
IT WITH MY GLASSES, NOR IS IT'S A LITTLE TOO FAR AWAY FOR ME TO READ WITH OUT MY EYES. 
          SO I'M GOING TO LOOK AT MY COMPUTER SCREEN. I'M GETTING OLD. 
          THREE THE STATE GENERAL PURPOSE THAT'S WE GET WHAT WE RECEIVE. 
          USUALLY MOST OF THE TIME IT'S A LITTLE BIT LESS. 
          SAME WITH THE STATE. 4000 SERIES AND THE FEDERAL. 
          AND IT'S JUST BECAUSE OF HOW THE STATE PROVIDES US OUR FUNDING. 
          THEY'RE ALWAYS BEHIND. AND THE FEDERAL MONIES WERE A MONTH BEHIND BECAUSE WE CAN ONLY
CLAIM THE PRIOR MONTH BECAUSE IT'S ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS. 
          AND THEN WE GOT THE ESD THAT NICE LITTLE POT OF MONEY THIS YEAR FOR OUR POOL WHERE THEY
HAD EXTRA MONEY IN UNEMPLOYMENT IN LNI. 
          SO THEY GAVE US MONEY BACK FOR THAT. IN THE EXPENDITURE AREA WE HAVE OUR BASIC ED
INSTRUCTION. 
          THIS IS WHERE IT'S REALLY PROMISING. AND I LIKE THESE SLIDES BECAUSE IT'S SHOWING THE
IMPACT OF THE CUTS YOU GUYS MADE. 
          YOU GUYS DID A LOT OF HARD WORK, AND IT'S SHOWING THAT. 
          AND WHAT WE SEE FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR IN THE REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURES IN BASIC ED. 
          THAT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE. AND THEN IN SPED SAME THING. 
          YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GOING TO SEE AS MUCH OF A DRASTIC BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO VERY SPECIFIC
THINGS WITH SPED. 
          BUT EVEN WITH THAT, THAT'S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TO SEE SPED AT THAT POINT IN THIS TIME OF THE
YEAR, BECAUSE NORMALLY YOU WOULDN'T BE SEEING THAT,
ESPECIALLY WITH AN INCREASE OF THAT NUMBER OF STUDENTS WITH 30 FTE. 
          SO ALAN IS DOING A GREAT JOB AND REALLY MONITORING HIS PROGRAM. 
          AND THEN IN SUPPORT SERVICES, WHICH IS OUR PROGRAM 97,
WHICH HOUSES ALL ALL OF OUR DISTRICT WIDE EXPENDITURES. 
          IT'S BARELY UP, WHICH IF YOU SEE ALL THE OTHER MONTHS IT'S A LITTLE BIT HIGHER AND WE'RE
ALMOST THE SAME. 
          AND THAT'S A BIG DEAL AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU GOT YOUR INSURANCE,
WHICH ALWAYS GOES UP WELL, MORE DOUBLE DIGITS FOR US RIGHT NOW, OUR UTILITIES. 
          SO AGAIN, ANOTHER GREAT SIGN FROM OUR SUPPORT SERVICES. 
          AND THEN OUR OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW THE EXPENDITURES ARE LOWER THAN WHAT
THEY WERE, WHAT THEY WOULD NORMALLY BE AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR,
PROJECTED ENDING FUND BALANCE OR THE PROJECTED ENDING FUND BALANCE, CASH FLOW. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE PROJECTING. AND LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE,
$800,000 ADDITIONAL AT THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          SO WHAT WE STARTED WITH IS $7.34 MILLION FUND BALANCE. 
          AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ENDING THE YEAR AT 8.14 IS WHAT'S PROJECTED AT THIS POINT. 
          THOSE ARE THE ACTUAL MONTHS RIGHT NOW SEPTEMBER THROUGH DECEMBER. 
          AND THIS IS WHAT WE PROJECT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. 
          AND THEN THIS IS WHERE WE WE DON'T WANT TO TIP BELOW THAT TO 2 MILLION BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN
WE'RE WE WOULD HAVE TO START BORROWING. 
          SO AS WE CAN SEE WE'RE CLEAR OF AVOIDING THAT FOR THIS YEAR. 
          SO THAT'S VERY PROMISING AS WELL. AND THEN THE UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE BECAUSE OF THAT
INCREASE IN REVENUE LAST YEAR WE ENDED WITH 5.2. RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT 5.6%. 
          WE WANT TO GET BACK UP TO THAT 8% FUND BALANCE THROUGH OUR POLICY. 
          UNFORTUNATELY NEXT YEAR. AND THIS IS WHERE, LIKE JOHN WAS TALKING ABOUT,
I'M EVALUATING THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS OPERATIONS THAT WE HAVE. 
          I WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOU GUYS WITH FINDINGS ON THAT. 
          IT'LL PROBABLY BE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. JUST BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF WORK INVOLVED IN
EVALUATING ALL THAT, BUT 4.3% IS WHAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING INTO THE NEXT YEAR. 
          SO DIPPING BACK DOWN. SO WE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT CAN WE DO? 
          [01:10:01]
SOME OF THE AREAS, LIKE JOHN HAD MENTIONED, WE'RE LOOKING AT TRANSPORTATION. WE'RE LOOKING
AT FOOD SERVICE, LOOKING AT COPING AND TALKING WITH WASHOUGAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AND TALKED WITH THE ESD AS
WELL LAST WEEK IN REGARDS TO THAT LOOKING AT THE FEES THAT WE CHARGE FOR COMMUNITY ED,
FOR FOOD SERVICE, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT BEFORE YOU EVEN START AGAIN, SINCE YOU DID SUCH MAJOR CUTS BEFORE EVEN CONSIDERING THAT IN THE FUTURE,
REALLY EVALUATING ALL THE PROGRAMS FIRST AND JUST REALLY LOOKING AT EVERY AREA AND TALKING WITH A FUEL DISTRIBUTOR TODAY JUST TO SEE ABOUT OTHER OTHER COSTS WITH THE FUEL OIL, EVERY LITTLE THING THAT YOU NORMALLY WOULDN'T PROBABLY BE
LOOKING AT, WE ARE LOOKING AT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE. SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? GOOD. YOU KNOW WHAT? I WOULD LOVE ON THAT. 
          THE SLIDE THAT SAYS PROJECTING ENDING FUND BALANCE AND CASH FLOW. 
          I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU COULD PUT THE PERCENTAGES OF THE FUND BALANCE ALONG THERE,
TOO, BECAUSE WHILE IT LOOKS LIKE, OH WOW, OUR FUND BALANCE IS WAY UP AND WE WE HAVE. 
          RIGHT. THAT'S A GOOD POINT. 
          5.6% FUND BALANCE, WHICH IS LOWER THAN WHAT WE ARE AIMING FOR. 
          SO AT FIRST I'M LIKE, OH, THAT'S GOOD NEWS. DID WE CUT TOO MUCH? AND IT'S LIKE, NO, BECAUSE WE'RE STILL WAY LOW. 
          YES. IN OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH. YEAH. IS THAT TRUE? IS THAT. YES. I MEAN LIKE YOU SEE IN APRIL, IT SPIKES UP. 
          BUT THAT'S JUST LIKE IT DOES IN OCTOBER BECAUSE OF OUR PROPERTY TAXES. 
          RIGHT? BUT IT GETS USED VERY QUICKLY AND GOES BACK DOWN TO REALITY. 
          SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S SHOWING UP AT THAT POINT WHERE IT WOULD BE 8% THIS IS CASH FLOW,
WHICH IS TO SHOW HOW WE CAN PAY THE BILLS EACH MONTH. THE NEXT SLIDE IS WHAT IS WHERE THE FUND BALANCE IS. 
          SO SORRY, I PROBABLY MISUNDERSTOOD THIS. NO,
THEY DO THEY INTERTWINE WITH EACH OTHER AND IT CAN GET CONFUSING. SO LET ME THINK ABOUT HOW I CAN DO THAT SO THAT IT DOESN'T CREATE THAT
CONFUSION. 
          I WAS KIND OF THE SAME WITH YOU, CONNIE. I HAD TO LOOK AT BOTH SLIDES TO GET THE
INFORMATION I WANTED, BUT I WAS GOING TO SAY I LOVE THE SLIDES BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE, THEY'RE VERY CLEAR ON LIKE, BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE ASKED FOR A LOT IS LIKE,
WHAT ARE WE THIS MONTH? WHAT ARE. AND SO YOUR ACTUAL AND PROJECTED LIKE THAT. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. ESPECIALLY WITH THAT $2 MILLION LINE YOU HAVE THERE. 
          AND I GOT WHAT I NEEDED AFTER THE TWO SLIDES. 
          BUT I CAN SEE, CONNIE HOW SOMEHOW THEY WERE. YEAH,
LIKE MAYBE PUTTING A LINE OF WHERE WE WANT TO BE THAT 8% WHERE THAT'S AT ON THIS CHART AND SHOWING LIKE, YEAH, WE DO HIT UP THERE AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR. 
          BUT WHAT WE END WITH IS WHAT MATTERS. YEAH OKAY. 
          THANKS. THAT'S GREAT. YEAH FOR SURE. EXCELLENT. 
          OKAY. THANK YOU BATMAN. THANK YOU. YOU ARE WELCOME. 
          ALL RIGHT. BACK TO OUR AGENDA. NEXT IS ITEM C AT ITEMS ADDED TO THE AGENDA. 
          DID EVERYBODY GET A CHANCE TO SEE THE HUMAN RESOURCES ADDED? OKAY. DO WE NEED TO VOTE ON THAT PART? ITEMS ADDED JUST TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          OKAY. THAT BRINGS US TO NUMBER FOUR CULTURE AND PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          [4. CULTURE - Public Comments]
WE DO HAVE ONE PERSON FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS. AUBRY SLATER SLAUGHTER I'M SORRY. 
          SLAUGHTER. COME ON UP TO THIS MIC AND I YOU I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ON OR YOU'LL NEED TO TURN
IT ON. 
          MAYBE TAP IT. IS IT STILL ON? TAP IT LIKE, THERE YOU GO,
THERE YOU GO. 
          OKAY. SO MY QUESTION, I HAVE TWO TOPICS. ONE THE EIGHTH GRADE ALGEBRA THAT'S OFFERED FOR
HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT IS GRADED ON A 1 TO 4 SCALE, AND THEN IT UNDERGOES A CONVERSION TO GO TO THE
A THROUGH F SCALE. 
          AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REASONING WHY IT PLACES THE EIGHTH GRADERS THAT ARE CHALLENGING
THEMSELVES AT A DISADVANTAGE. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW THE CLASS IS GRADED AT AT SKYRIDGE OR LIBERTY AT ODYSSEY WHERE MY CHILD
IS, IT'S A REALLY 1 TO 3 SCALE AND A THREE CONVERTS TO 90%,
WHICH IS THE BARE BOTTOM FOR AN A, BUT AT HIGH SCHOOL, THOSE KIDS HAVE A CHANCE TO EVEN EARN 100% WITHOUT DOING EXTRA WORK. 
          SO THOSE EIGHTH GRADERS THAT ARE CHALLENGING THEMSELVES IT'S VERY HARD. 
          I MEAN, YOU MISS A LITTLE BIT AND YOU'RE ALREADY IN A B. 
          [01:15:04]
AND IF THEY WERE TO WAIT TO TAKE THAT CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL,
THEY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET AN A. 
          SO WHY ARE WE PUNISHING OUR TOP STUDENTS? BECAUSE OF A GRADING SYSTEM? I MEAN, IF THEY'RE GETTING HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT,
THEY SHOULD BE GRADED THE SAME AS THE HIGH SCHOOLERS. 
          AND IF NOT, I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHY. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY PARENT THAT HAS STRUGGLED
WITH THIS. 
          AND YOU KNOW, THE 1 TO 4 SYSTEM HAS A LOT OF ISSUES BECAUSE SOME TEACHERS WILL GIVE KIDS
AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A FOUR. 
          OTHERS WILL NOT. I HAVE FRIENDS THAT HAVE SAID,
HEY, MY KID'S TEACHER SAID THEY COULD DO THIS EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY FOR FOUR. AND THEN OTHER TEACHERS IN THE SAME SUBJECT SAID,
OH NO, WE DON'T AGREE WITH THAT. 
          SO THE KID DOES THE WORK AND THEN GETS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, MATH AND SCIENCE OR MATH AND SPANISH ARE GRADES THAT CAN ARE SUBJECTS THAT
CAN GET CREDIT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. 
          SO HOW THEY ARE GRADED DOES NOT AFFECT THE OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL SUBJECTS. 
          AND YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S ALSO NOT TEACHING THE KIDS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. 
          YOU KNOW, WHY ARE WE GOING THROUGH A CONVERSION WHEN IT WOULD BE VERY EASY TO GRADE A KID
ON A 0 TO 100 SCALE AND GIVE THEM THE LETTER GRADE THEY EARN AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL IN ALGEBRA. AND IT JUST TRANSFERS TO HIGH SCHOOL. 
          THE OTHER THING IS THERE'S A LOT OF PLAY IN THAT 1 TO 4 SCHEDULE. 
          YOU GET A THREE. YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING REALLY WELL,
RIGHT? WELL, THAT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM A C TO MAYBE AN A. 
          THAT DOESN'T HELP THE KIDS TRANSITION TO THAT DIFFERENT GRADING SCALE AT HIGH SCHOOL. 
          WE WANT TO INTERRUPT JUST REALLY QUICKLY. I FORGOT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAD THREE
MINUTES. 
          SO I'LL GIVE WE'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT BEYOND THAT BECAUSE MY BAD,
I FORGOT TO GIVE YOU THE DIRECTIONS. 
          OKAY. SO THE OTHER ONE IS THE USE OF AI. SO I HAD ONE KID LAST YEAR THAT LOST A GOOD 75%
OF HIS ENGLISH EDUCATION FOR HIS SOPHOMORE YEAR, BECAUSE THE TEACHER GRADED OUTLINES AND ROUGH DRAFTS
WITH AI. 
          SO, FOR INSTANCE, HE HAD AN A AND A WRITES THE FINAL PAPER. 
          THE TEACHER GIVES HIM A 45, WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 
          AND ESSENTIALLY IT WAS WHAT THE KIDS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. 
          YOU DO THE WORK, THE TEACHER GIVES YOU AN A TO PAD YOUR GRADE. 
          THAT DOESN'T GIVE THEM ANY FEEDBACK TO HELP THEM WRITE A BETTER PAPER. 
          NOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT MY MIDDLE SCHOOL DAUGHTER HAS AI AN AI OPTION TO GRADE ROUGH
DRAFTS. 
          SHE DOESN'T UTILIZE IT BECAUSE SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I ACTUALLY DISAPPROVE,
AND SO SHE GETS NO FEEDBACK UNTIL SHE TURNS IN THE RIGHT TURNS IN THE FINAL PAPER. 
          SO I WANT TO KNOW, DO WE HAVE A SCHOOL POLICY FOR THE USE OF AI FOR TEACHERS? IS IT CONSISTENT? WE'VE GOT TO GIVE KIDS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO GET FEEDBACK AND FEEDBACK
CAN'T COME ON THE FINAL. 
          FEEDBACK HAS TO BE ONGOING OR ELSE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS CAN'T PIVOT. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT TO BE FIGURED OUT HERE. 
          AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE USING AI WITHOUT A POLICY. 
          AND IF OUR KIDS CAN'T USE AI TO WRITE A PAPER,
WHY ARE TEACHERS USING IT TO GRADE IT? THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO DIRECT JOHN TO FOLLOW UP AND LOOK INTO THOSE. 
          AND YEAH. THANKS, CONNIE. AND I EMAILED MISS SLAUGHTER EARLIER THAT WE JUST NEED A LITTLE
MORE TIME ON SOME OF THE, YOU KNOW, SCHOOL DATA ON ON THIS. WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR PRINCIPALS TO FIND OUT. 
          IT'S PROBABLY DIFFERENT RIGHT NOW SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A DIRECT A DIRECT POLICY IN PLACE
EITHER FROM OSPI OR SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GATHER A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION TO FIND OUT PER SCHOOL. 
          REGARDING THE ALGEBRA WE DID WE DID PROVIDE A RESPONSE. 
          BUT THERE'S A GOOD POINT THERE IN AND YOU KNOW,
WHY AREN'T THE HIGH SCHOOL BASED CLASSES GRADING ON A REGULAR A THROUGH F SCALE? IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ARE AT OUR COMPREHENSIVE MIDDLE SCHOOLS,
BUT I'LL DOUBLE CHECK ON ON PBL. 
          THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING ON TO NUMBER FIVE, LEARNING OUR TIPTON SCHOLARSHIP. 
          [5. LEARNING]
AND JEN SCOTT IS GOING TO PRESENT THAT. THANK YOU. 
          JEN. SO AS A PAST RECIPIENT AND A MEMBER OF THE TIPTON SELECTION COMMITTEE, I'M EXCITED TO SHARE TONIGHT THIS YEAR'S STAFF THAT
WILL BE RECEIVING FUNDS FROM THE TIPTON LEGACY OF LEARNING LEGACY. SO MARY AND GARY TIPTON WERE A PRESENCE ON THE CAMAS SCHOOL BOARD FROM 2005 TO
2016. 
          [01:20:05]
DURING THAT TIME, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT EXPERIENCED TREMENDOUS GROWTH IN NUMBERS AND ALSO IN
PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS. 
          LEADERSHIP FROM THE TIPTON WAS INSTRUMENTAL TO THAT GROWTH. 
          AND IN HONOR OF THEIR SERVICE, THE TIPTON PROFESSIONAL LEARNING LEGACY HAS BEEN
ESTABLISHED TO RECOGNIZE AND SUPPORT STAFF WITH ASSISTANCE FOR TUITION AND OR FEES IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING THAT DEMONSTRATES LEADERSHIP AND IMPACTS THE DISTRICT IN
SIGNIFICANT WAYS. 
          AND WE'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE CAMAS EDUCATION ASSOCIATION AND THE CAMAS EDUCATION,
SORRY, THE CF EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION AND CAMAS EDUCATIONAL OR ASSOCIATION. 
          SORRY FOR THEIR DONATIONS TO THE TIPTON PROFESSIONAL LEARNING LEGACY FUND,
AND WE THE SHARE HAD 15 APPLICANTS, AND THAT WAS A MIX OF CERTIFICATED AND CLASSIFIED APPLICANTS. 
          AND EIGHT RECIPIENTS THIS YEAR WERE GIVEN A SCHOLARSHIP TO PUT TOWARDS PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND WE HAVE SOME HERE TONIGHT, BUT I CAN'T PUT FACES WITH ALL THE NAMES. 
          SO IF YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT, IF YOU COULD STAND UP AND THEN IT'D BE GREAT IF YOU COULD SHARE
WITH THE BOARD WHAT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT YOU ARE PURSUING WITH THAT TIPTON LEGACY LEARNING FUND. 
          SO WE HAVE MALIA. HI, I'M MELIA FISHER, AND I AM PUTTING IT TOWARD A MASTER'S DEGREE. 
          YAY! YES. GOOD JOB. CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE] AND,
ERIK GETTING BACK INTO WORKING WITH BANDS. 
          I'M COLLUDING WITH THE WESTERN INTERNATIONAL BAND CLINIC UP IN SEATTLE IN THE FALL. 
          CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE] HELLO. GOOD EVENING, I'M SREE DEVI. I'M WORKING AS A PARAEDUCATOR IN CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SO I'M I AM A BASICALLY AN ENGINEER. NOW I WANT TO GO INTO TEACHING PROFESSION,
SO I'M DOING MY M.A. 
          IN MATH AND SPED. ALL RIGHT. GREAT. CONGRATULATIONS. 
          [APPLAUSE] WE ALSO HAVE SABRINA CRABTREE, WHO IS PURSUING HER MASTER'S IN EDUCATIONAL
LEADERSHIP. 
          KENDALL DE VERA IS PURSUING HER MASTER'S IN SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHING. 
          WE ALSO HAVE CASEY PROVINCE, WHO'S PURSUING HER MASTER IN EDUCATION OF READING. 
          CORAL ROSU, WHO IS PURSUING A CURRICULUM BASED BOOK STUDY CALLED STEM LESSON ESSENTIALS. 
          AND LAURA STENGEL IS PURSUING HER BACHELOR'S IN EDUCATION IN SPECIAL EDUCATION. 
          SO ALL THESE SCHOLARSHIPS GO TOWARDS THEIR EDUCATIONAL GOALS. 
          AND SO WE'RE EXCITED THAT THE TIPTON LEGACY LEARNING FUND IS ABLE TO SUPPORT THAT. 
          THAT'S AMAZING. THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. [APPLAUSE] GOOD JOB. 
          AWESOME. THAT'S WONDERFUL. OUR NEXT ITEM IS B CORE CURRICULUM ADOPTION,
THE HIGH SCHOOL HEALTH. 
          AND I BELIEVE DEREK IS GOING TO TALK US THROUGH THAT. 
          GREAT. THANK YOU. SO FIRST OFF I WANT TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS A PROJECT STARTED
AND FINISHED MOSTLY BY LISA [INAUDIBLE] AND KATIE SEIDEL ALSO HAD A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THIS WORK. I WAS INVOLVED,
OF COURSE. 
          BUT NOT I WASN'T LEADING IT. THAT WAS LISA AND KATIE. 
          SO THANKS TO LISA. AND THE SLIDES ARE DEFINITELY NOT ME. 
          THEY'RE WAY TOO CREATIVE AND BEAUTIFUL. MINE ARE BULLET POINTS,
TYPICALLY. 
          SO THE PROCESS IS WELL DESCRIBED IN BOARD POLICY AND PROCEDURE,
AND IT WAS FOLLOWED VERY CAREFULLY BY LISA AND KATIE AND THE TEAM. THE PROCESS WAS ALL HAYES FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL. 
          DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL AND CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL ARE ALL REPRESENTED IN THE PROCESS FROM THEIR
TEACHING STAFF AND STUDENTS WERE INVOLVED AS WELL AS PRESCRIBED IN THE POLICY. 
          SO WHAT ARE WE REPLACING AND WHY? SO ESSENTIALLY OUR,
HEALTH TEXTBOOK. 
          AND I WANT TO PUT A HUGE ASTERISK ON THIS. THIS IS OUR HEALTH CURRICULUM MINUS THE SEXUAL
EDUCATION CURRICULUM, WHICH IS SEPARATE AND HAS A SEPARATE, FAR MORE INVOLVED PROCESS BECAUSE OF THE HIGHLY
SENSITIVE NATURE OF SEXUAL HEALTH. 
          SO THIS IS NOT SEXUAL HEALTH. THIS IS ALL THE THINGS THAT AREN'T SEXUAL HEALTH. 
          SO THE CURRENT TEXTBOOK WE HAVE WAS ADOPTED AND COPYRIGHTED IN 2002 AND REALLY DOESN'T
REFLECT WHAT HAPPENS IN SOCIETY ANYMORE. 
          IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE IT DIDN'T HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA THINGS IN IT. 
          SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY WAS OVERDUE. THE BENEFITS TO THE NEW TEXTBOOK. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF SKILL BASED CONTENT. AND ALSO IT HAS A VERY UPDATED AND UP TO DATE
NUTRITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS, VACCINE INFORMATION. COMMONLY ABUSED DRUGS THAT HAVE SHIFTED IN THAT TIME. 
          SOCIAL MEDIA. FAR MORE THINGS ARE APPLICABLE TO WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING TODAY. 
          [01:25:01]
ALSO, THE TEAM REALLY LIKED THE SKILL BASED COMPONENT OF THE EDUCATION,
SOME REAL LIFE ACTIVITIES AND KIND OF ROLE PLAYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          THE STUDENTS ALSO COMMENTED ON THAT, WHICH YOU'LL SEE LATER. 
          SO ABOUT 90% OF THE STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT WILL BENEFIT. 
          SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A PART I HAVE TO CLARIFY. 
          SO IN AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL, WE HAVE A HEALTH PATHWAY IN CTE. 
          SO CTE FUNDS ARE UTILIZED FOR THE BOOKS AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL. 
          SO WE WILL BE PURCHASING BOOKS FOR CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL IS THE REQUEST FOR THIS,
AND THEN WE'LL WORK TOWARDS USING CURRICULUM MONEY TO PURCHASE BOOKS FOR DISCOVERY AND HAYES FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL. RIGHT NOW, THIS ADOPTION IS FOR THE BOOK,
AND WE WILL BE PURCHASING ALL OF THE BOOKS FOR CHS AND THEN WORK FOR NEXT YEAR TO PURCHASE THE BOOKS FOR DISCOVERY AND HAYES. SO THERE ARE TWO TEXTBOOKS REVIEWED. 
          SO WE REVIEWED THE GOODHEART-WILLCOX ESSENTIAL HEALTH SKILLS FOR HIGH SCHOOL 2025 EDITION
AND MCGRAW-HILL GLENCOE HEALTH 2022 EDITION. 
          THE MCGRAW-HILL GLENCOE IS A COMPANY THAT WE HAVE WORKED WITH OFTEN IN THE PAST. 
          GOODHEART-WILLCOX IS WAS A NEW COMPANY FOR US. 
          WE DON'T HAVE OTHER TEXTBOOKS CURRENTLY WITH THIS ORGANIZATION AND THAT MATTERS BECAUSE
NOW IT'S NOT JUST THE BOOK, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE ONLINE RESOURCES. AND SO YOU WANT THE PUBLISHER TO BE AROUND FOR A LONG
TIME, AND WE'LL GET INTO IT MORE DEEPLY. BUT WHEN WE HAVE A NEW PUBLISHER,
WE'RE ALWAYS QUESTIONING, LIKE, OKAY, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THIS ONE'S GOING TO BE AROUND FOR A WHILE. IT'S KIND OF
LIKE A HOME BUILDER OR SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE HISTORY IS THERE. SO AS A TRUSTED PARTNER. SO THE PROCESS THAT, YOU KNOW,
UTILIZED, AS I SAID, IS PRETTY WELL ESTABLISHED. 
          SO WE IDENTIFIED, YOU KNOW, THE THE TEAM IDENTIFIED,
YOU KNOW, EITHER A CONSENSUS OR A MAJORITY VOTE. 
          AND THEY CREATE A RUBRIC FOR EACH OF THE TEXTBOOKS BASED ON STANDARDS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
AND ALSO THE STATE LEVEL. 
          THEY UTILIZED THAT FROM THE GUIDANCE FROM OSPI. 
          AND THEN ALSO YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE COLLEGE BOARD RECOMMENDATIONS? SO THEY WENT THROUGH A RUBRIC, WHICH I HAVE HERE IN A COUPLE OF SLIDES. 
          ALSO IDENTIFIED SOME CORE RESOURCES THAT WERE REVIEWED AND THEN YOU KNOW,
INCLUDING STUDENT VOICE THROUGH LIKE SAMPLING THE BOOKS WAS IS PART OF THE PROCESS AND GETTING SOME FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS, LIKE, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS BOOK VERSUS THIS,
THIS OTHER TEXTBOOK CORE CURRICULUM ADOPTION. 
          SO THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS COMMITTEE REVIEWED THIS PROCESS ALL FALL. 
          AND THEN THEY MET IN DECEMBER. AND THEN THEY VOTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS ADOPTION OF
THE TEXTBOOK. 
          AND THEIR ADOPTION RECOMMENDATION WAS TO ADOPT THE ESSENTIAL HEALTH AND SKILLS BOOK FROM
2025, THE GOODHEART-WILLCOX VERSION OF THE TEXTBOOK. 
          SO THERE WERE SOME REAL SPECIFIC REASONS WHY THIS THIS WAS THE RECOMMENDATION. 
          ONE, THE CONTENT WAS EXTREMELY UP TO DATE. 2025,
NOT 2022. 
          AND IN THREE YEARS THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LOT WITH THE WORLD IS CHANGING QUICKLY. 
          IT ALSO THE EMPHASIS ON SKILL BASED LEARNING WAS THE TEAM LIKED THAT A LOT. 
          THE ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES ON THE ONLINE VERSION. 
          SO THERE'S THE OPTION TO CONVERT IT TO MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. 
          ALSO AUDIOBOOK. SO THOSE WERE ALL REALLY NICE IN THAT STRUCTURE TO HELP STUDENTS,
YOU KNOW, WHO MAY WANT THE BOOK READ TO THEM OR NEED IT IN A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. 
          ALSO, THE ONLINE CONTENT HAD, YOU KNOW, NEW LESSONS THAT WERE CONSISTENTLY UPDATED BY THE
PUBLISHER. 
          SO HERE'S THE, THE CHARTS AND THE RATIONALE FOR EACH ONE,
WHICH IS ALSO IN THE SLIDESHOW. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE NATIONAL STATE HEALTH STANDARD COMPARISON,
THE GOODHEART-WILLCOX VERSION SCORED BETTER ACROSS THE BOARD, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION BEING DISEASE PREVENTION AND WELLNESS. 
          SO THE TEAM BUILT THOSE CATEGORIES AND THEN USED THIS RUBRIC TO EVALUATE WHICH ONE THEY
FELT WAS BETTER. 
          IN THE THIS IS THE, YOU KNOW, THE SECOND SET OF CRITERION THE RUBRIC EVALUATION CRITERION. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE IN THIS SECTION ALSO THE GOODHEART-WILLCOX BOOK RATED OUT HIGHER BY THE
COMMITTEE OVERALL. 
          SO ALL FOURS NOW AND ALL THREES FOR THE GLENCOE HEALTH BOOK. 
          SO AS A, YOU KNOW, AS A RESULT, THE COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING,
YOU KNOW, THE ADOPTION OF THE. 
          LET ME GO BACK TO IT RIGHT HERE OF THE ESSENTIAL HEALTH SKILLS BY THE GOODHEART-WILLCOX
CORPORATION. 
          AND REALLY, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, THE CONNECTION TO THE PROFILE OF GRADUATE IS STRONG WITH
THIS CURRICULUM AS WELL WITH SPECIFICALLY, OBVIOUSLY, HEALTH AND WELLNESS. RIGHT. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HEALTH CLASS,
BUT SPECIFICALLY THOUGHT THE CRITICAL THINKER DOMAIN WAS REALLY STRONGLY EMPHASIZED BY 
          [01:30:05]
THAT SKILL BUILDING PROCESS, LIKE GOING THROUGH AND HAVING LIKE A MOCK SCENARIO ABOUT SOME
KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, A HEALTH SITUATION WAS REALLY POWERFUL. 
          ALSO THE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATOR AND THE SELF-EMPOWERED LEARNER,
WE FELT THE COMMITTEE FELT LIKE WE'RE STRONG CONNECTIONS DIRECTLY FROM THE TEXTBOOK THROUGH THIS AND THE CURRICULUM TO OUR PROFILE OF A GRADUATE. 
          ADDITIONALLY, HERE'S JUST SOME SAMPLE OF THE PRINTED RESOURCES. 
          SO I'M JUST GOING TO CALL OUT, LIKE ON THE LEFT. 
          YOU KNOW, THE LESSON WAS 7.7 CANCER. AND THERE WAS AN ESSENTIAL QUESTION,
HOW DOES CANCER AFFECT THE BODY? AND THEN THERE ARE SPECIFIC LEARNING STANDARDS IN THERE. 
          AND THERE'S KEY TERMS ALONG WITH AN ACTIVITY IN THE MIDDLE. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE LIKE THE WARM UP ACTIVITY PRETTY STRONG. 
          MAKE DECISIONS. YOUR TEACHER WILL SET A TIMER FOR ONE MINUTE. 
          DURING THAT TIME, LIST AS MANY DECISIONS THAT AFFECT A PERSON'S RISK OF CANCER AS YOU CAN. 
          AS YOU READ THIS LESSON, ADD NEW DECISIONS TO YOUR LIST. 
          PLACE A CHECK NEXT TO EACH DECISION YOU ALREADY KNEW. 
          IF ANY DECISION YOU LISTED ARE NOT DISCUSSED IN LESSON,
RESEARCH THEM USING RELIABLE AND VALID RESOURCES TO NOTE WHETHER THEY AFFECT RISK. 
          THEN WRITE A CASE STUDY IN WHICH A TEEN USES A DECISION MAKING PROCESS TO MAKE A HEALTHY
DECISION TO REDUCE CANCER RISK. 
          SO IT'S REALLY TRYING TO APPLY THAT LEARNING. 
          LIKE, WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY COULD CAUSE CANCER BASED ON THE
RESEARCH. 
          AND THEN HOW CAN YOU AVOID THOSE OR CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE TO MAKE THAT RISK REDUCED. 
          SO THAT WAS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF KIND OF THE SCENARIO AND SKILL BASED PROCESS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, AS I SAID, THE ONLINE RESOURCE REALLY THERE'S MULTIPLE REASONS. 
          THEY FELT WE FELT THE COMMITTEE FELT WAS GOOD COMPATIBLE WITH CLEVER. 
          AND GOOGLE CLASSROOMS IS A NATURAL INTEGRATION THERE. 
          AND THEN THE ROSTERS CAN BE UPLOADED WITH THAT PARTNER CURRICULUM. 
          SO THAT'S NICE IN THE BACK END. SO A TEACHER DOESN'T HAVE TO LIKE,
INPUT ALL THE NAMES OF THE KIDS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. ALSO, AS I MENTIONED TRANSLATES TO MULTIPLE LANGUAGES IN TEXT AND AUDIO. 
          IT'S ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH BOOKSHARE FOR STUDENTS WITH READING BARRIERS. 
          SO THAT PROVIDES SOME ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS. AND THEN IT HAS A EMBEDDED MEDIA WHICH IS
UPDATED ANNUALLY. 
          SO A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS JUST TO MENTION AS PART OF THIS PROCESS IS PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE OFFERED AS TEACHERS ON BOARD. 
          SO SOME TIME TO DIG INTO THE RESOURCE AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE RESOURCE BECAUSE IT IS NEW. 
          AND THEN GOODHEART-WILLCOX OFFERS HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. 
          IT OFFERS THE FLASH COMPONENT, BUT WE ARE NOT ADOPTING IT AT THIS TIME. 
          BUT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WE CONSIDER IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE DO GO THROUGH THE FLASH
ADOPTION. 
          SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THAT RIGHT NOW IS WE'LL USE THE HEALTH CURRICULUM AND TEXTBOOK FOR
HEALTH CLASS. 
          AND THEN WHEN WE HAVE THAT SEXUAL EDUCATION UNIT,
WE'LL USE THE STATE APPROVED AND DISTRICT ADOPTED FLASH CURRICULUM. 
          HOWEVER, IN THE FUTURE, IT MIGHT BE MORE SEAMLESS WHEN WE GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS AGAIN TO
LOOK AT THIS PROVIDER AS A POTENTIAL OPTION FOR THE FLASH CURRICULUM. 
          SO HERE'S A COUPLE OF QUOTES FROM STUDENTS. I DEFINITELY PREFER THE MORE UPDATED TEXTBOOK. 
          THE TEXTBOOK IS MORE REFLECTIVE OF MY CLASSMATES AND MYSELF,
AND IT REPRESENTS TODAY'S POPULATION. 
          ONE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE A TEACHER GAVE ME FROM THIS PROCESS WAS IN THE OLD STUFF. 
          THERE'S LIKE A FLIP PHONE. SO THEY WERE LIKE,
WHAT IS THAT THING? YOU KNOW? SO TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED A LOT. SO THERE WAS AN IMAGE OF A FLIP PHONE IN THE
OLD HEALTH TEXTBOOK. 
          IN THE SAMPLE LESSON THAT MRS. STRAW GAVE US,
I REALLY LIKED THE VIDEO THAT WENT ALONG WITH ALCOHOL, AND THEN WORKSHEET WENT DIRECTLY ALONG WITH THE VIDEO AND READING. 
          I DIDN'T HAVE TO FLIP TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT SLIDES TO FIND ANSWERS. 
          SO THAT WAS A FRESHMAN IN A IN A HEALTH CLASS AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL AND MISS STRAW'S CLASS. 
          SO THOSE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE STUDENT FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED. THE THE QUOTE FOR THE
INITIAL PURCHASE OF THE CURRICULUM, YOU CAN SEE HERE IS A TOTAL OF $28,355. AND AS I MENTIONED,
THAT'S THE QUOTE FOR CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL ONLY, WHICH WILL BE FUNDED BY THE CTE BUDGET. AND WE WILL LOOK AT THE CURRICULUM BUDGET TO FUND
THE DISCOVERY AND HAYES FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL PORTIONS OF THE BOOK. SO SORRY TO INTERRUPT. WHEN WILL THAT PART BE DONE? LIKE, WILL THEY GET THEIR TEXTBOOKS NEXT YEAR ALSO? YES. OKAY. SO EVERY ALL THE HIGH SCHOOL HEALTH CLASSES WILL GET THE TEXTBOOKS. 
          JUST DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES. YEAH. OKAY. THANKS. 
          SO. OH. I'M SORRY. AND SO WE'RE JUST SEEKING APPROVAL OF THE CURRICULUM. 
          ADOPTION FOR THE OH, SORRY, I GOT FOR. I KEEP THE NAMES. 
          YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THE GOODHEART-WILLCOX HEALTH CURRICULUM. 
          AND THAT'S $28,000 FOR SIX YEARS. YEAH. THAT'S CORRECT. 
          AND THE PHYSICAL RESOURCE OF [INAUDIBLE] BOOKS. 
          [01:35:02]
OKAY, THAT'S THAT SEEMS AWFULLY REASONABLE FOR SOME OF THE OTHER CURRICULUM ADOPTIONS THAT
HAVE COME THROUGH. 
          YEAH, YEAH. AND IT'S YOU KNOW, THE SCALE IS NOT AS LARGE AS SOME OTHER ONES,
BUT. 
          YEAH. WERE THEY SIMILAR IN PRICE THOSE TWO THEN? DO YOU KNOW? I DO NOT KNOW THAT. SO I'M SORRY. 
          THAT'S OKAY THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THAT WASN'T A CRITERIA. 
          PRICE WASN'T CRITERIA. THAT WAS NOT. HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE INVOLVED IN THIS REVIEW ON THE
COMMITTEE? SO IN THE FIRST SEMESTER, I KNOW THERE WERE OVER 200 STUDENTS AND CHS IN HEALTH,
AND I BELIEVE THEY USE SAMPLES FROM THE BOOK IN EVERY CLASS. 
          EVERY CLASS. YES. COOL. ANY DISCUSSION OR I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION. 
          I MOTION THAT IN ALIGNMENT WITH BOARD POLICY AND PROCEDURE 2020. 
          I MOVE TO ADOPT ESSENTIAL HEALTH SKILLS FOR HIGH SCHOOL GOODHEART-WILLCOX AS THE CORE
CURRICULUM FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL HEALTH COURSE. 
          THE SIX YEAR CONTRACT IS $28,355.02 PLUS TAX,
AND WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH CTE. 
          I'LL SECOND. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY MATTHEW, SECONDED BY BAMINI. 
          ANY DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. 
          ANY OPPOSED? PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
DEREK. 
          DEREK AND LISA. AND. YEAH. AND THANK YOU TO LISA AND KATIE. 
          I DO HAVE TO. YES. THEY DID A GREAT JOB. AND THE TEAM KRISTI STRAW AND FROM HAYES AND ALSO
AWESOME DISCOVERY. 
          SO THANKS. EXCELLENT. I'M SURE LISA IS WATCHING OUT THERE. 
          I HOPE NOT. YEAH. OKAY. MOVING ON TO OUR AND PATHWAYS CONSENT AGENDA. 
          [6. SYSTEMS/PATHWAYS: Consent Agenda]
EVERYBODY HAVE A CHANCE TO GET A PEEK AT THAT. 
          I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH ITEMS
ADDED. 
          I'LL SECOND THAT. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COREY. SECONDED BY TRACEY. 
          ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. NOW ON TO OUR POLICY REVIEW FIRST READING. 
          [7. SYSTEMS/PATHWAYS: Policies for First Reading]
ALWAYS THE BEST PART OF THE MEETING. SO WE WENT OVER ALL THESE POLICIES IN OUR LAST
WORKSHOP IN PREVIEW BEFORE OUR FIRST MEETING. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY UPDATES OR FEEDBACK OR DISCUSSION ON ANY OF THEM IN
PARTICULAR? WE'LL GO THROUGH THEM ONE BY ONE. BUT MORE QUICKLY. 
          1005 KEY FUNCTIONS OF THE BOARD. ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS ON THAT? NOPE. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN DO YOU GUYS WANT TO VOTE ON THEM ONE BY ONE OR VOTE THEM IN
BATCH? I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY DOING A BATCH. BATCH IT ALL RIGHT. 
          1210 ANNUAL ORGANIZATION MEETING. YEAH I'M GOOD I HAD THIS WAS THE ONE I HAD SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT. 
          I'M OKAY APPROVING IT FOR FIRST READING. I'M JUST KIND OF I KNOW THAT SHAUNA REACHED OUT
TO WSSDA AND JUST HASN'T HEARD BACK. 
          SO THIS IS JUST SINCE IT'S FIRST READING. I'M OKAY. 
          I'M OKAY APPROVING IT. THANKS, COREY. YEAH, WE'RE WAITING ON RESPONSE. YEAH. OKAY. ALL
RIGHT. 
          1630 EVALUATION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT. OKAY. 1820 BOARD SELF ASSESSMENT. 
          ALL GOOD. 1821 STANDARDS FOR INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL DIRECTORS. 
          GOOD TO GO. 3226 INTERVIEW AND INTERROGATIONS OF STUDENTS ON SCHOOL PREMISES. 
          NOTHING. OKAY. 5000 RECRUITMENT, SELECTION AND EVALUATION OF STAFF. 
          ANY UPDATED QUESTIONS? OKAY. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THESE FOR FIRST READING AS
A BATCH. 
          I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE POLICIES 1005 1210, 1630,
1820, 1821, 3226, AND 5000 AS PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING. 
          SECOND. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COREY, SECONDED BY BAMINI. 
          ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          OPPOSED? PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ALRIGHT. BOARD RESOLUTION 2504. 
          [8. SYSTEMS/PATHWAYS: Informed and Responsible Use of Resources]
ALL RIGHT. THANKS, CONNIE. SO THIS ONE, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND
AND THEN OPEN IT UP TO ANY DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL APPROVAL. 
          SO AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER, LOOKING AT COST CONTAINMENT,
LOOKING AT SYSTEMS AND LOOKING AT WAYS THAT YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY CAN WE PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICES FOR KIDS,
BUT ALSO UNDER THE BEST FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS, RIGHT. SO I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, FIRST OF ALL THIS IS ABOUT TRANSITIONING OUR ALE OR OUR
ONLINE SERVICES OR WITH 
          [01:40:02]
CCA TO GRAD ALLIANCE, WHO WE ALREADY HAVE A LONG STANDING PARTNERSHIP WITH. 
          SO THIS THE TEAM AND I HAVE DONE QUITE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBABLY OVER THE LAST
YEAR OR SO, JUST DIGGING INTO DATA, LOOKING AT THE FINANCIAL CLIMATE AROUND THIS,
BUT ALSO JUST LOOKING AT DATA AND EXPERIENCES OF STUDENTS. SO AGAIN, THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE ONE ITEM TONIGHT THAT HAS THE MOST REAL
HUMAN IMPACT. 
          SO I WANT TO JUST GIVE IT THE, THE GRACE THAT IT DESERVES EDUCATORS IN THIS PROGRAM AND
CCA CARE DEEPLY ABOUT OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR WORK IS VALUED. 
          SO ANY REDUCTION IN STAFF AND A RESOLUTION IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT. 
          AND THIS RECOMMENDATION IS NOT A REFLECTION OF THEIR DEDICATION OR EFFORTS. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S CRYSTAL CLEAR. 
          SO AFTER CAREFUL REVIEW, AS I SAID, THE TEAM AND I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE ONGOING COST
OF OPERATING OUR OWN DISTRICT RUN FULL TIME ALE PROGRAM IS SIMPLY NOT FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE AND LIMITS OUR ABILITY TO ALLOCATE RESOURCES WHERE THEY
CAN HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT FOR STUDENT FOR STUDENTS DISTRICT WIDE. THIS RECOMMENDATION FOCUSES ON IMPROVING SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS SEEKING FULL
TIME ONLINE INSTRUCTION, BUT ALSO STUDENTS WITH MEDICAL NEEDS, STUDENTS ON LONG TERM SUSPENSION,
AND STUDENTS WHO HAVE DISENGAGED FROM SCHOOL. 
          PARTNERING WITH GRAD ALLIANCE, AS WE'VE DONE FOR FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW,
ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE, STRENGTHEN COMPLIANCE, AND IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES WHILE REMAINING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. 
          SO ESSENTIALLY, A THIRD PARTY WHO IS EXPERIENCED WHO EXCELS IN THIS WORK? WE WOULD BE HANDING OFF THESE SERVICES TO TO THAT PARTNER. 
          MY TEAM AND I ARE COMMITTED TO HELPING EVERY STUDENT SUCCEED. AND I KNOW THE BOARD AGREES. 
          WHILE THIS DECISION IS DIFFICULT, WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PARTNERSHIP IS THE BEST,
BEST PATHWAY FORWARD FOR STUDENTS AND FOR THE LONG TERM HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. 
          AND SO, AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN OUR BRIEFINGS,
THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A FINANCIAL DECISION, BUT THERE IS SOME FINANCIAL IMPACT HERE. SO RIGHT NOW AND YOU SAW IN KIM'S EARLIER SLIDE,
THE ONE PROGRAM THAT SHE LISTED THAT IS IS REALLY IN THE RED IS OUR ALE. AND THIS IS AGAIN NO FAULT TO ANYBODY AT ALL. 
          IT'S AN EXPENSIVE PROGRAM TO RUN. THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF COMPLIANCE. 
          AS YOU KNOW WE RECENTLY HAD AN AUDIT FINDING AND AGAIN NO,
NO POINTING FINGERS. 
          ALE MODELS ARE EXTREMELY COMPLEX AND DIFFICULT TO RUN,
ESPECIALLY IN A LEAN ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE'VE ALREADY REDUCED ADMINISTRATORS BOTH IN THE BUILDING AND OUTSIDE. AND GRAD ALLIANCE WOULD,
IN FACT, TAKE MUCH OF THAT BURDEN OFF OF OUR DISTRICT TEAM OUR TEACHERS AND AND OF COURSE OUR TEAM HERE AT CENTRAL OFFICE. 
          SO I WANTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY QUESTIONS,
CONCERNS, THOUGHTS. 
          WE CAN GO IN DEEP OR SHALLOW AS YOU WANT ON THIS. 
          BUT AGAIN, IF WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE FINANCIAL PICTURE THIS YEAR,
THIS LAST YEAR OUR PROGRAM CCA PUT US IN THE RED, JUST UNDER $200,000, ABOUT $196,000. NOW, OVER THE YEARS IT HAS COST US LESS. 
          THIS YEAR WENT UP A LITTLE BIT WITH THE COST OF EDGENUITY,
WHICH IS THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM. 
          GRAD ALLIANCE. GRAD ALLIANCE HAS THEIR OWN INTERNAL CURRICULUM,
SO THERE WOULD BE NO COST THERE. 
          NOT TO MENTION THE COST SAVINGS WHEN WE GET INTO SUMMER SCHOOL,
GRAD ALLIANCE COULD HELP US RUN SUMMER SCHOOL IN THEIR WITH THEIR CURRICULUM AT A VERY, VERY REDUCED PRICE THAN WHAT WE CHARGE STUDENTS NOW. 
          SO AGAIN, IT'S IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD. IT'S NOT JUST OUR FULL TIME DISTANCE ED OR ALE
STUDENTS IT'S THOSE STUDENTS WHO WHO HAVE LONG TERM SUSPENSIONS. 
          THEY'RE WILLING TO TAKE THOSE STUDENTS. AND BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY IN CONTRACT WITH GRAD
ALLIANCE, THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THE DISTRICT AND WE CAN START TO HAVE STUDENTS BE SERVED
THERE NOW. 
          WE WOULD HAVE CCA CONTINUE TO RUN THROUGH THE YEAR,
BUT IF WE HAVE BEHAVIOR, STUDENTS LIKE LONG TERM SUSPENSIONS, MEDICAL STUDENTS, ANYBODY THAT WE WANT TO WE CAN START TO ADD TO GRAD ALLIANCE NOW. 
          OF COURSE, THE VERY, VERY NEGATIVE TO THIS IS WHAT I'M ASKING TONIGHT WOULD HAVE TO BE A
REDUCTION IN FORCE OF ABOUT 7.5 FTE. 
          AND WE WOULD IF APPROVED BY THE BOARD, WE WOULD MEET WITH THAT STAFF TOMORROW. 
          AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY CAN FINISH OUT THE YEAR AND THEN MOST LIKELY THOSE POSITIONS
WOULD BE WOULD THEY, WOULD THEY WOULD BE DISSOLVED. BUT MOST OF THE TEACHERS IN CCA WOULD LIKELY YOU KNOW,
PRESS INTO THE DISTRICT IN A DIFFERENT SETTING IF THEY WANTED TO. 
          SO, AGAIN, NOT THE GREATEST NEWS IN THE WORLD. 
          BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, MY TEAM AND I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE THE LONG FUTURE OF THE
DISTRICT, ESPECIALLY THE FINANCIAL HEALTH. SO TOUGH, TOUGH DECISION. 
          [01:45:03]
I KNOW. BUT I APPRECIATE YOU YOU KNOW TAKING A LOOK AT THIS AND AT LEAST,
YOU KNOW, LOOKING THROUGH THE DATA AND SEEING HOW WE FEEL. 
          SO I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT YOUR ENROLLMENT SLIDES. 
          YOU WERE SHOWN EARLIER HOW PEOPLE WOULD BE TAKING ANY NEW PEOPLE THIS YEAR OR YOU WOULD
PUT THEM ALL TO GRAD ALLIANCE, BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES, LIKE, PEOPLE WILL LEAVE CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL OR DISCOVERY OR HAYES
AND GO INTO CCA, LIKE, WHAT IF THEY DID THAT TOMORROW? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY. TRACEY YEAH, CCA IS STILL OUR FULL TIME ALE PROVIDER THROUGH
THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. 
          SO YES WHAT WE WOULD DO IS WE WOULD, WE WOULD ASK PRINCIPAL HOLMES,
WHO'S BEEN SORT OF, I HATE TO SAY THE GATEKEEPER, BUT SHE'S REALLY KIND OF THAT OPTIONS PERSON FOR US. 
          SO SHE LOOKS AT EVERY SINGLE ENROLLMENT. SO SHE WORKS WITH OUR OTHER PRINCIPALS,
SHE WORKS WITH OUTSIDE DISTRICTS WHO ARE SENDING STUDENTS OVER. 
          SO SHE WOULD REMAIN THAT THROUGH THE YEAR AND MOST LIKELY INTO THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS. 
          SO AGAIN, IF, LET'S SAY THE THE PRINCIPAL OF CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL HAS A STUDENT THAT REALLY
NEEDS THOSE SERVICES, AMY WOULD WORK WITH KELLY TO DETERMINE IF GRAD ALLIANCE WAS THE BEST FIT,
OR IF CCA WAS THE BEST FIT, OR MAYBE SOMETHING, SOME OTHER OPTION. YEAH,
LIKE HAYES, LIKE PBL, OR MAYBE OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT. 
          GREAT QUESTION. A QUESTION ABOUT LOGISTICS ABOUT WITH GRAD ALLIANCE. 
          SO I KNOW ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAD WITH CCA WAS THAT IT WAS KIND OF A KIND OF AN ALL
OR NOTHING THING. 
          YOU WERE EITHER IN YOU WERE EITHER AT CCA OR YOU WERE AT ONE OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS. 
          IS THEIR ABILITY THE ABILITY WITH GRAD ALLIANCE TO KIND OF STRADDLE THAT LINE A LITTLE
BIT. 
          MAYBE YOU'RE DOING GRAD ALLIANCE FOR LIKE, I DON'T,
I DON'T KNOW, CREDIT RECOVERY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT STILL STAYING IN OUR PHYSICAL BUILDING. YEAH. 
          SO TWO TWO POINTS TO THAT. YES AND YES. SO FOR EXAMPLE,
WITH WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT GRAD ALLIANCE IS THEY MEET THE STUDENTS WHERE THEY'RE AT, NOT JUST ACADEMICALLY BUT PHYSICALLY. SO THEY'LL MEET WITH STUDENTS AT THE LIBRARY,
THEY'LL MEET THEM AT HAYES, THEY'LL MEET THEM AT, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER, A STARBUCKS,
WHEREVER IT'S MOST CONVENIENT FOR THE STUDENT. 
          AND IT'S REALLY 24/7 THAT KIND OF DIRECT INSTRUCTION. 
          IN ADDITION, STUDENTS CAN BE IN, IN GRAD ALLIANCE FOR PARTIAL,
PART OF THE DAY, FULL TIME, PART OF THE DAY. SO IT REALLY VERY SIMILAR TO CCA,
BUT I THINK IT ACTUALLY GIVES US EVEN MORE KIND OF LEEWAY WITH THE KIDS. 
          I WAS REALLY, REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE SO MANY SERVICES UNDER THE
SAME CONTRACT. 
          AND I WILL SAY THAT WHEN AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE FISCAL SIDE OF THINGS RIGHT OFF THE BAT YOU
KNOW, WE DO PROVIDE THEM FTE, BUT WE GET A PERCENTAGE THAT FTE AND THE MORE THAT'S THE MORE
STUDENTS THAT ARE IN THE PROGRAM, THE MORE OF THE FTE THAT THE DISTRICT RECEIVES VERSUS GRAD ALLIANCE. 
          ULTIMATELY, THE STUDENTS WOULD COME BACK TO OUR SCHOOLS FOR GRADUATION. 
          SO IF A STUDENT WAS THEIR HOME, SCHOOL WAS, CHS THE GRAD ALLIANCE IS REALLY NOT IN THE
GRADUATION RATE BUSINESS. 
          THEY'RE IN THE CREDIT RECOVERY BUSINESS. RIGHT? AND SO ULTIMATELY, WHEN AND IF AND WHEN THE STUDENT WAS READY,
THEY WOULD REENROLL AT CHS AT HAYES, AT PBL AND THEN AND THEN CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL WOULD RECEIVE THE GRADUATION CREDIT FOR THAT
STUDENT. 
          SORRY FOR THE LONGER ANSWER, COREY, BUT SHORT ANSWER YES. 
          JUST ONE OTHER QUESTION. WITH GRAD ALLIANCE,
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER. SO WE'VE BEEN USING GRAD ALLIANCE IN IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM FOR A WHILE BECAUSE I REMEMBER LIKE WHEN WE HAVE STUDENTS COME HERE FOR
BOARD MEETINGS TO GO THROUGH A GRADUATION, THEY'RE THROUGH GRAD ALLIANCE. IS THAT CORRECT? RIGHT. RIGHT NOW. YEAH. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE
ONLY USING ONE SMALL PART OF THE SERVICE. 
          SO EVEN THOUGH WE'RE IN CONTRACT FOR ALL SERVICES,
WE ONLY USE THAT PIECE. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING WHEN WE HAVE THE 1 OR 2 STUDENTS GRADUATE. 
          THEY RECEIVE A GRADUATION THROUGH CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL. 
          BUT THAT'S OUR CEREMONY FOR THE STUDENT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT,
AND I'M WORKING CLOSELY WITH DEREK ON THIS IS AT THE END OF THE YEAR, IF NEXT YEAR, LET'S SAY IF, LET'S SAY GRAD ALLIANCE HAS 80 STUDENTS OR 100 STUDENTS AND
THEY AND WE HAVE 80 GRADUATES, WE WOULD POTENTIALLY WANT TO INCORPORATE THEM INTO A CAMPUS GRADUATION CEREMONY BECAUSE AT
ONE POINT OR ANOTHER, THEY WERE FULL FLEDGED CAMPUS STUDENTS. SO WE WOULD WORK WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE HIGH
SCHOOLS TO SEE IF WE COULD HAVE THOSE STUDENTS WALK IN ONE OF THOSE CEREMONIES, MAYBE DESIGNATED WITH A SPECIAL CORD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          SO WE MAY OR MAY NOT SEE THESE ONE OFF GRADUATIONS AS MUCH. 
          WE MAY HAVE THEM AT OUR OTHER CEREMONIES, BUT IT'S REALLY BASED ON THE STUDENT IF THE
STUDENT HAS CERTAIN MEDICAL NEEDS. 
          WE'VE HAD STUDENTS WHO WANT TO GRADUATE EARLY. 
          WE'VE HAD STUDENTS THAT HAD TO ENTER THE MILITARY AT A CERTAIN TIME. 
          SO WE HAVE THEM COME. AND SO YEAH. SO THE STUDENT WOULD RECEIVE EITHER OR. 
          I GUESS, YOU KNOW, BESIDES FOR THE QUESTIONS ABOUT STUDENTS AND STAFF AND THE EDUCATORS. 
          A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE ARE REALLY AROUND HOW DO WE TRACK? I KNOW THERE'S THE
PROMISE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO TRACK WELL, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF SYSTEMS INTEGRATION. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF TIME THERE'S A LOT OF THOUGHT THAT GOES INTO MAKING CERTAIN THAT THE
PEOPLE RIGHT NOW, 
          [01:50:06]
I KNOW AMY AND HER TEAM WATCH THIS, THAT WE KNOW WHO THESE STUDENTS ARE AND HOW THEY'RE
PERFORMING IS. 
          I GUESS THERE'S A PROMISE THERE THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT I GUESS I'M WONDERING. 
          YEAH. NO. IS THAT IT'S NOT A LARGER BURDEN ON OUR STAFF WHEN SOMEONE ELSE EDUCATES THEM,
BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO TRACK IT. 
          I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF A SHARED BURDEN MATT,
I THINK WHY IS BECAUSE AMY HAS AGREED TO STILL CONTINUE AS THAT LIAISON FOR US, SO SHE'LL STILL BE THAT EDUCATION OPTIONS PERSON FOR THE DISTRICT UNDER HER CURRENT SALARY
AND RESPONSIBILITIES AT HAYES. 
          BUT WHAT GRAD ALLIANCE THEY'LL DO PRIMARILY THE BRUNT OF THE TRACKING,
BUT ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY'RE MAKING IS POTENTIALLY TO HAVE A HALF TIME OR A FULL TIME FTE DESIGNATED AS MORE OF THAT COUNSELOR,
THAT REGISTRAR PERSON. 
          WE HAVEN'T REALLY FLESHED THAT ALL OUT YET WITH THEM. 
          WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS REALLY COST EFFECTIVE FOR THE DISTRICT. 
          BUT ULTIMATELY TO YOUR POINT, I THINK THE BURDEN FULLY BEING ON ONE OR ANOTHER WOULDN'T BE
FAIR. 
          AND BECAUSE THEY HAVE MODELS LIKE THIS ACROSS THE STATE OF WASHINGTON,
THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS FOR US TO BRING SOMEBODY ELSE ON. 
          OKAY. YEAH, WE JUST HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T DUG THAT DEEP IN BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SEE IF THE
BOARD APPROVED FIRST. 
          AND THEN WE CAN WE CAN GO THROUGH THOSE LOGISTICS. 
          ARE THERE ANY OTHER DISTRICTS IN OUR AREA THAT HAVE GONE THIS ROUTE,
GETTING RID OF THEIR OWN PROGRAM AND GONE TO GRAD ALLIANCE? YEAH, I DON'T KNOW. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. DEREK,
DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THOSE? OKAY. 
          YEAH. AND WHAT WE ALSO LIKED ABOUT GRAD ALLIANCE IS THEY HAVE MULTIPLE FULL TIME ALE
MODELS ACROSS THE STATE. 
          SOME OF THE OTHER VENDORS AND PARTNERS WE LOOKED AT REALLY DID NOT DO THAT. 
          THEY TRULY THEIR EXPERTISE IS TRULY IN THAT SHORT TIME. 
          YOU KNOW, PART TIME. AND WHAT WE LIKED ABOUT GRAD ALLIANCE IS THEY DO IT ALL SHORT TIME,
MID TIME, MID MIDDLE TIME OR FULL TIME. I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS,
JUST COMMENTS ON A COUPLE OF THINGS. 
          I THINK THE HUMANIST PART AND CONSIDERING THE FULL TIME OR THE TEACHERS THAT WE HAVE TODAY
AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS A TRANSITION PLAN OR AT LEAST AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THAT, THAT'S REALLY APPRECIATED. AND THE OTHER THING WAS ONE OF THE THINGS I DID LIKE IS HOW
THEY DO TRY TO KEEP CAMAS STUDENTS CONNECTED TO CAMAS. 
          SO EVEN THE THOUGHT OF GRADUATING WITH CAMAS SCHOOLS OF SCHOOLS OR JUST MAKING THEM STILL
FEEL A PART OF THE DISTRICT IS PRETTY IMPORTANT. 
          AND ALSO I THINK MATT ALLUDED TO THAT. IT'S JUST LIKE MONITORING. 
          AND HOW WILL WE KEEP OVERSIGHT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING. 
          YEAH. AND THEY'RE MORE THAN WILLING TO COME IN TO A BOARD WORKSHOP. 
          WE ASK THEM DIRECTLY WHETHER IT'S A PRESENTATION AT A BOARD MEETING OR A MORE ROBUST
WORKSHOP. 
          TO THE SECOND POINT YOU KNOW, AROUND ALIGNING TO OUR SCHOOLS AGAIN,
THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT GRADUATION RATE BUSINESS. 
          SO IT'S ACTUALLY MORE WELCOMED ON THEIR PART FOR OUR KIDS TO BE CONNECTED. 
          THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORRIES THAT AS WE EXPLORED THIS,
WE DIDN'T WANT OUR KIDS TO BE FULLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE DISTRICT. 
          SO A LOT OF DISTRICTS THAT ARE GOING AWAY FROM THE ALE BUSINESS THE KIDS ARE JUST GOING
INTO A STATE PROGRAM. 
          AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IS EVEN IF THE KIDS WANT TO COME BACK,
THEY'RE JUST DISENGAGED. 
          WE'RE FEELING AS THOUGH AS IF WE'RE WITH GRAD ALLIANCE. 
          WE ALREADY HAVE A PARTNERSHIP. THEY'RE IN OUR SYSTEM. 
          MISS HOLMES AND OTHERS HAVE THAT DIRECT CONNECTION THAT IF AND WHEN THOSE KIDS DECIDE TO
COME BACK, THEY'RE ALREADY FEELING AS THOUGH THEY'RE PART OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          THEY MAY NOT EVEN REALIZE THAT THEY'RE DISENROLLED BECAUSE HONESTLY,
WE WOULD KEEP THE CCA SCHOOL LOCATION CODE AND THE STUDENTS WOULD BE STILL ENROLLED IN, IN IN WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER OUR ALE SCHOOL. 
          WE WOULD NOT GET RID OF THAT MODEL BECAUSE WE WANT THOSE KIDS TO STILL BE ENROLLED IN ONE
OF OUR PROGRAMS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. THEY DON'T FULLY DISENGAGE FROM THE DISTRICT IN THIS MODEL. 
          PERCENTAGE OF THEIR FTE. YES. YEAH. BECAUSE WE'RE KEEPING PART OF FTE,
WE CAN KEEP THEM TECHNICALLY ENROLLED IN THE DISTRICT AND THEN HOW MUCH THEY COME BACK TO US THAT WOULD BE CASE BY CASE. WHAT WAS THAT FIRST? THE FIRST PART I WANTED THAT YOU ASKED ABOUT,
I WANTED TO OH THE STAFFING. 
          SO YES, WE HAVE A PLAN. SO AFTER TONIGHT, IF APPROVED,
WE'LL MEET WITH OUR PRINCIPALS IN THE MORNING, MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALL, YOU KNOW, CONNECTED TO THIS AND THEN THE STAFF TOMORROW. 
          AND THEN PRETTY MUCH THAT TURNS OVER TO HR. AND THEN SHE WOULD START THAT THAT RIFT
PROCESS. 
          IT'S A SMALL RIFT, BUT IT'S STILL IT'S STILL SEVEN AND A HALF FTE. 
          AND MORE THAN THAT IN, YOU KNOW, IN OUR EMPLOYEE. 
          SO NEVER FUN AGAIN. WE FEEL LIKE BECAUSE IT'S BARELY FEBRUARY,
WE'RE GIVING A LOT OF ROOM HERE FOR STAFF TO LOOK ELSEWHERE IF THEY NEED TO, BUT ALSO A LOT OF TIME BETWEEN NOW AND THAT MAY 15TH DEADLINE. 
          [01:55:06]
AND SO WE WANTED TO TRY TO GET THIS TO YOU NOW WHETHER IT'S APPROVED OR NOT TO GIVE GIVE
OUR PEOPLE THAT TIME AND THAT GRACE. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UNLESS YOU. TRACEY UNLESS YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO READ THE RESOLUTION? SURE. IT'S ONLY TWO PAGES LONG. I'LL PUT MY SPEED READERS ON HERE. 
          OKAY. THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 2504. WHEREAS THE CAMAS SCHOOL DISTRICT NUMBER 117 BOARD
OF DIRECTORS HAS DETERMINED THAT THE DISTRICT FACES A FINANCIAL EMERGENCY DUE TO CONTINUED LOSS OF ENROLLMENT, LOSS OF REVENUE,
INCREASED STAFFING COSTS, INCREASED PROGRAM COSTS, AND THE EXHAUSTION OF VARIOUS RELIEF FUNDS. WHEREAS THE BOARD HAS DETERMINED THAT THE
FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF THE DISTRICT, INCLUDING THE GENERAL FUND, CASH RESERVE AND CONTINGENCY FUND,
WILL BE INADEQUATE TO PERMIT THE DISTRICT TO MAINTAIN ITS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES SUBSTANTIALLY AT THE SAME LEVEL FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR,
26-27. 
          WHEREAS THE DISTRICT SOUGHT INPUT FROM AND CONFERRED WITH THE CEA PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
OF CAMAS, PSE AND CAMAS ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL OFFICE PROFESSIONALS CAEOP AND CAP,
WHICH IS OUR ASSOCIATION OF PRINCIPALS, UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES AND OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS,
BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY. 
          WHEREAS THE DISTRICT HAS PRELIMINARILY IDENTIFIED PROGRAMS WITHIN THE DISTRICT'S
EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS WHERE ENROLLMENT DECLINES AND INCREASED COSTS MAY CONTINUED OPERATION UNSUSTAINABLE. WHEREAS THE DISTRICT HAS PRELIMINARILY IDENTIFIED PERSONS WITHIN
CEA, PSC, CAEOP AND CAP AND UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES WHO INTEND TO RESIGN,
TAKE LEAVES OF ABSENCE AND OR RETIRE. 
          JUST ONE LITTLE SIDE NOTE THERE. SO WATCHING THOSE RETIREMENTS AND RESIGNATIONS VERY
CLOSELY, OUR HOPE IS THAT THOSE SEVEN FTE WILL YOU KNOW,
WE WON'T LOSE THOSE PEOPLE. 
          WE'LL HOPEFULLY GAIN GAIN THEM BACK OR BE ABLE TO KEEP ALL OF THEM DEPENDING ON HOW THAT
ATTRITION HAPPENS. 
          LET'S SEE. YEAH. WHEREAS ON AUGUST 26, 2025,
DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS SERVICES AND CONSULTATION WITH THE DIRECTOR OF FINANCIAL SERVICES AT EDUCATIONAL SERVICE DISTRICT 112 PROVIDED A DETAILED BUDGET PROJECTION ANALYSIS TO THE
BOARD AND HAS CONTINUED TO PROVIDE REGULAR BUDGET UPDATES TO THE BOARD. 
          WHEREAS THE BUDGET PROJECTION ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT UNLESS CORRECTED,
THERE WILL BE A SERIOUS BUDGET AND CASH FLOW PROBLEM FOR THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR. 
          WHEREAS THE BOARD HAS DETERMINED THAT A REDUCTION IN FORCE AND PROGRAMS IS NECESSARY TO
CORRECT THE SITUATION, WHEREAS SUPERINTENDENT HAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD ADOPT A MODIFIED EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM. 
          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. 
          NUMBER 117 AS FOLLOWS SUPERINTENDENT IS DIRECTED TO IMPLEMENT A MODIFIED EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM FOR THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR THAT INCLUDES CLOSING OUT ALE PROGRAM AND REASSIGNING OR LAYING OFF ALE PROGRAM STAFF IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENTS, REDUCING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CERTIFICATED POSITIONS BY APPROXIMATELY 3% BY MEANS OF
PROGRAM REDUCTION AND OR REDUCED STAFFING, REDUCING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CLASSIFIED POSITIONS BY APPROXIMATELY 2% BY MEANS OF PROGRAM
REDUCTION AND OR REDUCED STAFFING, AND REDUCING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CENTRAL ADMINISTRATOR POSITIONS BY APPROXIMATELY 4% BY
MEANS OF PROGRAM REDUCTION AND OR REDUCED STAFFING. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS JUST GIVING US THAT AUTONOMY TO DO THAT. 
          IT DOESN'T MEAN WE'LL GET TO THOSE PERCENTAGES AT ALL. 
          THE REAL ONE IS NUMBER IS LETTER B THE 3% FOR FOR CERTIFICATED. 
          AND THEN I DON'T REALLY PROJECT ANY OTHER FALLOUT FROM THIS. 
          BUT THERE MAY BE SOME PSE. DEREK I'M NOT OR AMY,
CORRECT. 
          IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS. OKAY. SUPERINTENDENT IS FURTHER DIRECTED TO IDENTIFY IF ANY OTHER
NON EMPLOYEE RELATED REDUCTIONS IN THE CURRICULAR OPERATING BUDGET, THE BUILDING OPERATING BUDGETS AND THE OPERATING BUDGETS OF EACH SUPPORT
SERVICE. 
          SUPERINTENDENT IS DIRECTED TO PREPARE A 2026-27 OPERATING BUDGET THAT REDUCES EXPENDITURES
NEARLY TO THE LEVEL OF REASONABLY ANTICIPATED REVENUES AND REASONABLY AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE, SUBJECT TO ASSIGN UNASSIGNED CASH RESERVE LIMITATIONS NOTED ABOVE,
AND THE SUPERINTENDENT IS DIRECTED TO TAKE SUCH ACTION AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY LAW TO NOTIFY CERTIFICATED, CLASSIFIED AND ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEES WHO WILL BE AFFECTED BY REDUCTIONS
IN POSITIONS, AND THE SUPERINTENDENT IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE SUCH OTHER PLANS TO IMPLEMENT THE REDUCED
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AS ARE NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH LEGAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE DISTRICT. 
          ADOPTED THIS 26TH DAY OF 2026 JANUARY 2026. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. 
          I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. COUPLE QUESTIONS. JUST LISTENING TO IT. 
          THANK YOU. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE IMPACTED STAFF. 
          WE'VE TALKED ABOUT STUDENTS, BUT I'M WONDERING ABOUT FAMILIES TOO,
BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS, PROBABLY IN SOME OF THESE CASES HAVING QUESTIONS. SO FIRST QUESTION IS WHO'S THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS
IN THIS WHEN THEY, 
          [02:00:05]
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOTIFIED OF THIS? SOMETIMES PARENTS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE COMPLETELY OUT
OF THE LOOP, RIGHT? EVEN IF I MISS PARENT SQUARE. 
          SO DO WE HAVE A POINT OF CONTACT ALREADY IDENTIFIED? YEAH. GREAT QUESTION MATTHEW. SO WE HAVE COMMUNICATIONS WITH OH I'M SORRY. 
          WE HAVE COMMUNICATIONS PREPARED READY TO GO IF IT'S ADOPTED. 
          AND SO THAT WILL GO OUT AFTER WE MEET WITH STAFF TOMORROW. 
          THE EARLY EARLY EVENING TOMORROW A LETTER WILL GO OUT TO THOSE FAMILIES DIRECTING THEM
THAT THEY CAN REACH OUT TO EITHER AMY HOLMES DIRECTLY OR TO ME WILL REALLY BE THE TWO POINT OF CONTACTS. BECAUSE WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE NEED TO PREPARE THE FAMILIES AND THE
STUDENTS, OBVIOUSLY, FOR ANOTHER OPTION, WHETHER IT IS GRAD ALLIANCE,
WHETHER IT'S GOING BACK INTO ONE OF OUR BRICK AND MORTAR SCHOOLS, OR IF IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT. SO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE FAMILIES WILL BE,
WILL BE CONTACTED AND HAVE A REVERSE CONTACT BACK. 
          OKAY. YEAH. AND THE SECOND ONE IS REALLY TWO PART IS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT WHO'S GOING TO BE
MEASURING THE QUALITY OF THE INSTRUCTION THE STUDENTS GET. 
          YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK FOR THE MOST PART WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THAT
LIAISON THAT I SPOKE OF AMY HOLMES AND OUR TEAM. 
          DEREK RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY SUPERVISES HAYES AND AMY DIRECTLY. 
          SO AS PART OF, AS PART OF HIS ROLE, YOU KNOW,
DEREK WAS THE ORIGINAL PRINCIPAL OF CCA. 
          SO HE HAS A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE THERE. AS WE MOVE FORWARD AS I SAID EARLIER,
AS WE LOOK AT A DIRECTOR OR A PERSON IN TEACHING AND LEARNING, THAT PERSON MAY OR MAY NOT YOU KNOW, OVERSEE THAT AS WELL. 
          SO I THINK IT'LL BE A REALLY A TEAM EFFORT. I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE CONTINUAL YOU KNOW,
UPDATES TO THE BOARD. 
          WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING, YOU KNOW, HOW THIS MOVES. 
          I THINK HAVING THE SCHOOL LOCATION CODE STILL IN PLAY,
WE CAN REALLY RELOOK AT THIS MIDWAY NEXT YEAR, MAYBE AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR TO SEE IS THAT THE RIGHT MODEL FOR US? DO WE NEED TO BRING ALE BACK? SO SO THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT'S SET IN STONE FOREVER. 
          BUT I THINK IT'S A SHIFT THAT WE NEED TO MAKE NOW FOR THE REASONS I MENTIONED. 
          AND AND THEY HAVE THE SAME THEY STILL HAVE TO MEET THE SAME STATE STANDARDS. 
          THE SAME STANDARDS. YEAH, JUST I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE WORKLOAD ON STAFF,
BUT THE OTHER PART BECAUSE WE HEARD ABOUT IT FROM RUNNING START AGAIN. 
          PARENTS DON'T KNOW. I KNOW THIS IS INTEGRATED,
BUT YOU MENTIONED THAT THEY'LL MEET STUDENTS WHEREVER. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS ON STUDENT SAFETY. WHO'S MONITORING WHOSE STUDENTS ARE MEETING. 
          IF THEY'RE. IT'S JUST A CONCERN. I MEAN, NOTHING I'M SURE A PARENT WOULD SAY IS SOME
EDUCATOR, I DON'T KNOW, MEETING MY STUDENT AT STARBUCKS. 
          ARE THEY MEETING? DO THEY HAVE TO MEET ON SCHOOL PROPERTY? IS IT VIRTUAL? I'M JUST STUDENT
SAFETY ALWAYS COMES TO MIND, EVEN WITH MY DAUGHTER AT CLARK FOR RUNNING START. 
          LIKE, MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS WHAT SAFETY OUTLETS THERE ARE TO GET NOTIFIED WHEN THINGS
HAPPEN. 
          SO I'M JUST WONDERING ON STUDENT SAFETY. YEAH. 
          SO NOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A POTENTIALLY A MORE ROBUST ENROLLMENT WITH THEM,
WE STILL WOULD LIKE TO OPEN UP OUR CONFERENCE ROOM F AS WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS YEAR, WHICH HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL. AND OUR PRINCIPALS HAVE BEEN REALLY OPEN TO WHETHER
IT'S AT CHS, HAYES, PBL, HAVING STUDENTS MEET THERE. SO WE DO WE'LL HAVE A ONE STOP SHOP HERE. 
          AND YOU KNOW, GRAD ALLIANCE ISN'T REALLY INTERESTED IN HAVING A STOREFRONT OR A,
LIKE A FRONT FACING LOCATION. 
          SO REALLY FOR US, IT'S JUST PROVIDING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES HERE. 
          SO I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. OBVIOUSLY, ANYTIME YOU'RE MEETING A STUDENT OFF CAMPUS,
THAT'S ALWAYS A CONCERN. 
          BUT AGAIN, WE'RE DEALING WITH A GROUP THAT'S TRIED AND TRUE. 
          THEY VET THEIR EMPLOYEES. AND I WILL MENTION THAT IF THERE'S ANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES THAT ARE
LAID OFF THROUGH THIS GRAD ALLIANCE HAS COMMITTED TO INTERVIEWING AND YOU KNOW, PUTTING OUR STAFF IN LINE WITH THE POTENTIAL JOB. 
          WE JUST CAN'T PROMISE THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T DO THE HIRING FOR THAT. 
          THANK YOU JOHN. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION. 
          I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I MOVE TO APPROVE BOARD RESOLUTION 2504,
MODIFIED EDUCATION PROGRAM AS PRESENTED. 
          I'LL SECOND. MOTION BY SECOND. SORRY. MOTION BY TRACEY. 
          SECONDED BY COREY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED. UNANIMOUSLY PASSED. THANK YOU. COULD WE PUT THIS ON A BOARD WORKSHOP,
THOUGH FOR UPCOMING TO HAVE GRAD ALLIANCE COME IN? ABSOLUTELY. AND WITH PRINCIPAL HOLMES AND THOSE ARE. 
          ABSOLUTELY. THEY'LL BE HAPPY TO DO THAT. IF WE CAN'T SQUEEZE THEM IN FEBRUARY WE CAN
DEFINITELY DO MARCH. 
          OKAY. THANKS, MATT. OKAY. AND THEN THE THE LAST THREE ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA, I THINK. THERE YOU ARE. YOU'RE AHEAD OF THE GAME. 
          [02:05:05]
SO SEE THE ZAYO GROUP, THE DARK FIBER CIRCUIT THAT SOUNDS INTRIGUING. 
          SO WE'RE REQUESTING A BACKUP LINE, BASICALLY,
THAT GOES FROM THE CAMAS SCHOOL DISTRICT TO THE ESD. 
          WHAT THIS WILL ALLOW US TO DO IS IF OUR INTERNET CONNECTION GOES DOWN WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO
OUT THROUGH THE ESD AND THEN VICE VERSA. 
          IF THEIRS GOES DOWN, THEY CAN GO THROUGH US SO THAT THAT RUNS OUR PHONES,
THAT RUNS THE CLOCKS MANY THINGS IN THE DISTRICT. 
          IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO PUT BACKUPS IN OTHER DISTRICTS. 
          SO WE COULD HAVE A BACKUP THERE INSTEAD OF UP IN AWS OR AMAZON OR MICROSOFT. 
          AND IT BRINGS COSTS DOWN BECAUSE THEY WOULD JUST HOUSE OUR STUFF AND WE WOULD HOUSE THEIRS
FOR NO COST. 
          SECURITY IS PART OF THIS TOO, RIGHT? YES. YEAH. 
          SO I'M JUST THINKING STUDENT SAFETY, THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. 
          IT GOING DOWN AND YOU'RE LIKE, NO, WE HAVE A SECURITY CONCERN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTACT
THE BUILDINGS. 
          YOU DON'T KNOW IF DOORS ARE LEFT OPEN. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          YEAH. I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE OR MOVE TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL AS PRESENTED FROM ZAYO GROUP A 60 MONTH CONTRACT AT THE AMOUNT OF
$1,437 PER MONTH, PLUS TAXES. FUNDING WILL COME FROM THE TECHNOLOGY LEVY. 
          I'LL SECOND. MOTION BY MATTHEW, SECONDED BY BAMINI. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. 
          ONCE AGAIN. ALL RIGHT. SEE THE 25-26 MAINTENANCE PLAN. 
          SO THIS IS SOMETHING I'M KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT. 
          WE'VE CAME UP WITH A MAINTENANCE PLAN THAT WILL USE SOME OF THE MONEY THAT COMMUNITY TAKES
IN FOR CLASSES TO USE GYMS IN THE FIELDS TO MAINTAIN THOSE FACILITIES. SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO REFINISH GYM FLOORS HELP WITH FIELD
MAINTENANCE, LIKE FOR GRASS SEED AND FERTILIZER, THOSE KIND OF THINGS THAT JUST COME OUT OF THE GENERAL
FUND. 
          SO IT'LL JUST HELP TO FUND THOSE THINGS. THAT'S GREAT. 
          AND I JUST I APPRECIATE THIS ONE, TOO, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE TALKED ABOUT
FOR A WHILE. IS THAT THE MONEY GOING TO COMMUNITY ED AND NONE OF THAT COMING BACK TO HELP REPAIR THE USE THAT THEY HAD ON OUR TURF AND ON OUR FLOOR. 
          SO I'M EXCITED THAT WE'RE DOING THIS AND I THINK IT'S GONNA BE GREAT. 
          SO WITH THAT, I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE FACILITIES,
GYM FLOOR AND ATHLETIC FIELD MAINTENANCE AS PRESENTED DURING THE 25-26 SCHOOL YEAR, NOT TO EXCEED $150,000 FUNDED FROM THE COMMUNITY EDUCATION RENTALS. 
          SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY TRACEY, SECONDED BY COREY. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? UNANIMOUS. ALL RIGHT. 
          NOW, BACK TO OUR LAST ITEM OR SECOND TO LAST ITEM. 
          THE. IS IT ODP? SO THIS IS TO GET THE FLOORS REFINISHED AT THE LIBERTY GYMS. THIS WILL REFINISH THE TWO FLOORS AT LIBERTY AND IT'LL REFINISH THE FLOOR HERE AT
ZACH. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO 2 TO 3 FLOORS PER YEAR TO JUST GET CAUGHT UP WITH REFINISHING
OF THE FLOORS IN THE GYMS. SO THAT'S THE FIRST THREE. WILL THIS HAPPEN DURING SPRING BREAK OR THE SUMMERTIME? THE SUMMER? THE SUMMER TIME. OKAY. AND WHO'S DOING THIS? SORRY, I'M JUST ASKING BEFORE I MAKE A MOTION TO COMPLETELY DISMANTLE THE NAME. 
          OKAY.

SPORTS FLOORS FOR A TOTAL COST OF $91,368 TO BE PAID WITH COMMUNITY EDUCATION RENTAL FEES. SECOND. 
          IT'S BEEN MOVED BY BAMINI, SECONDED BY MATTHEW. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? NONE. ANOTHER UNANIMOUS PASS. 
          SAMSUNG TELEVISION REPLACEMENT. SO WE'RE REPLACING THE TVS IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 
          THEY'RE ABOUT TEN YEARS OLD, AND THEY'RE ABOUT 55 INCH TVS. 
          SO WE'VE DONE TWO BUILDINGS SO FAR. THIS ONE WOULD BE FOR PRUNE HILL AND WOODBURN. 
          AND WE WOULD DO IT OVER SPRING BREAK. AND THEY'RE ALSO GIVING US $50 FOR OUR TVS THAT WE
HAVE THE OLDER TVS AND TRADE IN FOR THE NEW TVS, AND THEY'LL BE KIND OF ON CARTS LIKE THAT WITH WIRELESS PROJECTION SO TEACHERS
CAN MOVE IT ANYWHERE IN THE ROOM AND

          YEAH. AND THEY'RE 55 INCH IN THE BUILDING. OKAY. 
          JUST AS A REMINDER, WE HAD SEVERAL PRUNE HILL TEACHERS HERE A FEW MONTHS AGO MAYBE,
AND WE GAVE TVS APPROVED TVS FOR NOT THEIR SCHOOL. 
          AND THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED. AND I WISH THEY WERE HERE NOW BECAUSE I WOULD SAY WE HAVE ONE. 
          WE GOT ONE. BUT YOU CAN, YOU CAN, YOU CAN COLLECT THEM FOR ALL YOUR PEERS. 
          ARE THEY GOING TO BE SHOCKED? IT'S COMING BACK IN SPRING BREAK. THEIR CLASSROOMS ARE GOING
TO BE DISRUPTED WITH THIS GIANT TV. ALL THE KIDS COMING IN AND GOING OOH THEY KNOW. 
          YEAH, OKAY. AND THEN WE USUALLY SEND TEXTS OUT,
