Sep 28, 2026 School Board Meeting

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

[00:00:07]

WELCOME, EVERYBODY. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

WE ARE GOING TO START OUR BOARD MEETING WITH THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, SO RISE IF YOU CAN AND JOIN ME.

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

THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT UP? I THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO DO IT, BUT I'M STILL LOGGING IN. I GOT IT.

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

THANK YOU. OH, IT'S WRITTEN ON THAT THING. OKAY.

[2. AGENDA ADOPTION ]

I'LL SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY COREY, SECONDED BY TRACEY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION CARRIES. SO, RECOGNITION.

[3. RECOGNITION ]

AND I THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER FROM HERE? YEAH. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. SHAUNA, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SPECIFIC PRESENTING THIS? JUST ME? ALL RIGHT. SO AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, WITH THE TENNIS CENTER, IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS AND THINGS ARE REALLY MOVING WELL.

I'LL SHARE A LITTLE BIT ON MY SUP REPORT. BUT WE RAN INTO A LITTLE SURPRISE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WITH IRRIGATION.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T SHOW UP IN THE EARLIER PLANS.

AND SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PRETTY LARGE CHANGE ORDER FOR US.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE SOME CERTIFIED IN IRRIGATION EXPERTS, AND ONE OF THEM I THINK IS HERE TONIGHT OR MAYBE MORE.

IS JOE HERE? HEY, JOE. SO JOE, BECAUSE HE'S SO AMAZING, HE AND A CREW OF SOME STUDENTS, AS WELL AS SOME OTHER STAFF, CAME TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY TRENCHED IT OUT AND MOVED AND KIND OF GOT THOSE IRRIGATION PIPES EXACTLY WHERE THEY NEEDED TO GO, SAVING THE DISTRICT PROBABLY CLOSE TO $60,000.

AND IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE WORK. IT DEFINITELY TOOK JOE AWAY FROM SOME OF HIS OTHER PROJECTS, BUT I THINK HE SAW THE IMPORTANCE AND THE IMPACT OF THAT, NOT JUST FINANCIALLY, BUT JUST TO KEEP THE PROJECT GOING.

AND WHAT A HECK OF A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME OF OUR SUMMER CREW, WHO ARE JUST RECENT GRADUATES FROM CAMAS SCHOOL DISTRICT.

SO I WANT TO RECOGNIZE JOE AND THAT TEAM WITH THE MILL TOWN PRIDE, BECAUSE IF ANYBODY EVER WAS UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMMUNITY AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE ENGAGED IN THE COMMUNITY, IT'S JOE AND THIS TEAM.

SO, JOE, WOULD YOU MIND COMING UP AND SHARING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TEAM AND KIND OF WHAT YOU DID A LITTLE BIT? [APPLAUSE]. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY WAS RECOGNIZED, SO. WE GOT LOGAN AND KAI THAT WERE ON THE SUMMER CREW.

AND THEN ROBERT TAYLOR, OUR PLUMBER, CAME AND HELPED PLUMB AS WELL.

AND BILL SCHUMACHER. I WAS OUT SICK FOR A LITTLE BIT.

HE TOOK OVER THE PROJECT, BROUGHT THE KIDS IN AND GOT EVERYTHING DONE THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE WHILE I WAS OUT.

PRETTY MUCH RAN THE SUMMER CREW ALL SUMMER. SO IT WAS FANTASTIC.

EVERYBODY CAME TOGETHER AS A TEAM. THAT'S ALL.

AWESOME. WOULD YOU MIND BRINGING THE CREW UP HERE? GO RIGHT ON UP THERE. LET'S GO SEE THE BOSS MAN.

[00:05:04]

AND PART OF IT IS WE'RE RECOGNIZING YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

BUT ON THE END OF IT, IT USED TO BE PERFORATED THAT YOU COULD SORT OF PASS ON A PIECE OF THAT TO SOMEBODY WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR SUCCESS.

IT COULD BE SOMEBODY AT HOME, IT COULD BE SOMEBODY ON YOUR TEAM, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO REALLY SHOWED UP IN A PINCH.

THAT WAS GREAT WORK. WE APPRECIATE YOU. NEXT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO STUDENT VOICE.

[4. STUDENT VOICE ]

THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME. OH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

IT'S TOTALLY CHILL. OKAY, SO I'M OLIVIA, I'M A SENIOR AT DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL.

I'M ALSO THE SENIOR CLASS ASB PRESIDENT, AND I'M THE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR FOR DISCOVISION, OUR SCHOOL JOURNALISM CLASS.

OH, WOW. AND THEN I'M ZOE. I'M A JUNIOR AT DISCOVERY, AND I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF ASB THIS YEAR AND ALSO THE NEWS DIRECTOR FOR DISCOVISION.

NICE. OKAY, SO SIXTH WEEK OF SCHOOL AND WE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS SO FAR.

SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, WE'VE HAD THREE BROADCASTS OF OUR SCHOOL NEWS DISCOVISION.

WE'VE BEEN PLAYING THE EPISODES AS A WHOLE GROUP DURING OUR ADVISORY EVERY THURSDAY.

WE SHARE UPDATES ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS. WE WANT TO START.

WE WANT OUR ADVISORY TIME TO GO FROM SITTING ON THE LEARNING STAIRS AND BEING TALKED TO BY TEACHERS TO MORE OF A LIKE A SCHOOL FAMILY MEETING.

WE WANT TO KEEP DISCOVISION VERY PROFESSIONAL, BUT KEEP IT LIKE HEARTWARMING AND SILLY. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE STRIVING TO DO IN OUR SCHOOL JOURNALISM. PARTNERING WITH THAT, OUR ASB HAS BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO REACH BIG GOALS THIS YEAR.

WE'VE ANNOUNCED. WHY IS THIS LIKE OW? WE'VE ANNOUNCED FRESHMAN ELECTIONS AND PACKETS FOR APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY THE SECOND.

WE WILL AIR THEIR CAMPAIGN VIDEOS AND VOTING FORMS ON DISCOVISION.

OUR FIRST EVENT WE'RE REACHING TO ACHIEVE THIS YEAR IS THE FALL FEST ON OCTOBER 30TH FROM 7 TO 9 P.M.

WE'RE LOOKING TO REFRAME THIS EVENT FROM A DANCE WE TYPICALLY DO TO MORE OF A SOCIAL.

WE FEEL THIS WILL ENCOURAGE MORE STUDENTS TO ATTEND BECAUSE WE ARE ADVERTISING MORE ACTIVITIES AND CHALLENGES AND ENCOURAGING RATHER THAN DANCING BECAUSE WE WANT THAT TO BE THE SIDE DISH, NOT THE MAIN EVENT. WE HAD SO MANY OF OUR STUDENTS GO TO [INAUDIBLE] HOMECOMING AND WE WANT OUR EVENT TO NOT OVERLAP TOO MUCH, AND THIS LEADS FOR OUR AIM TO BE MORE CASUAL RATHER THAN TRADITIONAL DANCE.

WE'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING TO ADVERTISE AND APPRECIATE OUR CLUBS MORE, WHICH INCLUDES A NEW VOLLEYBALL CLUB.

YOU CAN MOVE THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT. YEAH, JUST TILT IT DOWN OR HOLD IT.

YOU CAN HOLD IT, WHICH INCLUDES A VOLLEYBALL CLUB THAT WAS RECENTLY INTRODUCED, ESTABLISHED BY STUDENTS, ACTUALLY, WHO HAD BEEN PLAYING DURING LUNCH AND WANTED TO.

ON FRIDAY, DURING THE HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME, DISCOVERY, STUDENTS RAN OUT WITH A BANNER THEY HAD MADE IN FRONT OF THE CROWD.

AND IT WAS FOR PBL CAMPUS. SO NOT JUST DISCOVERY, BUT ALSO FOR ODYSSEY STUDENTS.

THIS WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO US BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DONE IT IN THE PAST, AND WE WANTED THERE TO REPRESENT OUR SCHOOL AND ALSO TO SHOW THAT WE'RE HERE AND WE LOVE OUR DISTRICT AND COMMUNITY, AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN SUPER INVOLVED IN THAT IN YEARS PAST, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON MORE THIS YEAR.

TODAY WE HAD OUR FIRST STUDENT OF THE MONTH ASSEMBLY, AND THIS MONTH'S THEME WAS DEPENDABILITY.

WE HAD ONE STUDENT WINNER FROM EACH GRADE THAT CAME TO THE FRONT TO GET A CERTIFICATE AND APPLAUSE FOR THEIR HARD WORK.

DURING THIS ASSEMBLY, WE ALSO INTRODUCED A SHOUT OUT FORM WHERE STUDENTS COULD SCAN THE QR CODE AND FILL OUT A STUDENT OR STAFF MEMBER'S NAME, AND WHY THEY FELT THEY DESERVED THE SHOUT OUT. STUDENT RECOGNITION GOT A LOT OF HYPE, AND WE FELT IT BRINGS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND APPRECIATION FOR ONE ANOTHER, AND GIVES US TIME TO CELEBRATE EACH OTHER WITH EACH OTHER.

ALONG WITH THAT, DISCO SALES, OUR SCHOOL CAFE, HAS BEEN WORKING TO GET RUNNING AGAIN THIS YEAR.

AND OLIVIA AND LINTHWAITE WERE TALKING BRIEFLY TODAY ABOUT PLANS FOR THIS YEAR'S MAKER MARKET, WHICH.

YOU'RE GOOD. WHICH INCLUDE HAVING IT CLOSER TO OR ON THE SAME DAY AS ODYSSEY'S OUT PLANT SALE TO MAKE IT A BIGGER EVENT AND TO BRING IN MORE PEOPLE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE PBLCAMPUS. WHERE WAS I? AND ALSO CONNECTING THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL, SINCE WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF MERGING, WE'VE REFRAMED WIN OR WHAT I NEED THIS YEAR, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY OUR STUDY PERIOD, WHICH IS SPLIT INTO SOME OF OUR CORE CLASSES AND THEN AN ELECTIVE PERIOD. SO TO CLARIFY OUR SCHEDULE, WE HAVE OUR SPLIT OR FULL SIX DAY CLASSES BETWEEN AN A AND A B DAY.

SO ON B DAYS, WE HAVE THE TWO SHORT PERIODS WHERE WE WOULD HAVE ANOTHER ONE FOR THAT.

STUDENT BODY MEMBERS. WE WORK TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS, SO WE WANTED TO HEAR THEIR VOICES.

[00:10:01]

ARIA BLIXT IN THE 10TH GRADE SAID, THE ACCESSIBILITY I'VE GIVEN MAKES ME FEEL TRUSTED BY THE TEACHERS.

CHAD MILLER IN THE 12TH GRADE SAID, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

I FEEL LIKE THIS YEAR HAS HAD THE MOST BENEFITS AND THE BEST STRUCTURE.

CAMDEN HENRY IN THE NINTH GRADE SAID, I FEEL LIKE I CAN GET MY WORK DONE AND IT TAKES A LOT OF STRESS OFF.

AND ZACH REDMOND IN THE 11TH GRADE SAID, I REALLY LIKE THAT IT HAS TWO PERIODS FOR DIFFERENT CLASSES, LIKE CORE VERSUS ELECTIVE CLASSES. IT JUST FEELS MUCH BETTER, ESPECIALLY HAVING LESS HOMEWORK.

WE FEEL LIKE OUR SCHOOL HAS BEEN GROWING AND BLOSSOMING RAPIDLY THIS YEAR, AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW WE IMPROVE THROUGH THESE NEXT FEW MONTHS. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. AWESOME. GREAT JOB. [APPLAUSE]. ANY QUESTIONS? JUST A COMMENT. I LOVE THAT YOU HAD QUOTES FROM YOUR OTHER CLASSMATES. I THINK THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO BRING IN, LIKE THE VOICES FROM ALL OF YOUR SCHOOL. YOU GUYS ARE DOING THE REPORT, BUT YOU'RE GETTING QUOTES FROM OTHER STUDENTS. SO.

YEAH.

AND SO THAT WAS A GREAT WAY FOR US TO HEAR STUDENT VOICE. SO THANK YOU.

I LIKE TO HEAR THAT THE MAKER MARKET AND THE PLANT SALE BE TOGETHER.

BUT THEN I'VE GOT ONLY SO MUCH MONEY I BRING TO SPEND.

SO NOW EITHER SPEND MORE BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS SO FASCINATING.

SO HOW HAS IT BEEN THIS YEAR? NOW IN YEAR TWO OF ODYSSEY AND DISCOVERY BEING IN ONE BUILDING, WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE IN THE LAST SIX WEEKS? OH, WOW. THERE YOU GO. EXCELLENT. THAT'S GOOD.

HAVE YOU SET UP ANY SORT OF LIKE MENTORSHIP OR WHERE THE DISCOVERY KIDS WORKING WITH LIKE BIG SIS, LITTLE SIS, MENTOR.

GOTCHA. AND THEN ALSO THIS ONE, I'D HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK, BUT WE HAVE LIKE A CONNECTIONS TUTOR ACADEMY, WHICH A LOVELY STUDENT, BEN FOISY, HE IS SO INCREDIBLE.

HE'S BEEN WORKING SO HARD TO DO THIS ON HIS OWN.

HE'S SO GOOD AT IT, BUT I THINK IT IS. DOES THAT INCLUDE MIDDLE SCHOOL? AND SOMETIMES THAT CAN FEEL MUCH BETTER THAN LIKE AN ADULT TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO. YEAH. THEY DON'T HAVE THAT CLASS. THAT CLASS SINCE STUDENTS HAVE.

BUT THOSE ARE THE TWO THAT WE INCORPORATE TOGETHER.

THAT'S AWESOME.

IS WEB SORT OF THE ASB OF ODYSSEY? OKAY. SO IT'S LIKE EIGHTH GRADERS HELPING SIXTH GRADERS.

OH, GOTCHA. YES. OKAY. AWESOME. OKAY. GREAT JOB.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THANK YOU, ZOE AND OLIVIA.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU AGAIN. [APPLAUSE]. DO WE HAVE A BARRETT AND VERITY? HELLO. WELCOME. FROM CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL.

HELLO, EVERYONE. HI. ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN PICK IT UP.

YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. IT'S EASIER. YEAH. HELLO. I'M BARRETT VAUGHN.

I'M THE ASB PRESIDENT AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL. I'M VERITY PHILLIPS, I'M THE SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL.

SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME EVENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL IN THE FIRST ROUGH MONTH OF THE SCHOOL.

SO WHAT WE'VE HAD SO FAR IS EARLY IN SEPTEMBER, WE HAD OUR CLUB FAIR AT LUNCH AND OPEN HOUSE FOR ANY STUDENT TO COME AND BE EXPOSED TO ALL THE CLUBS THAT WE HAVE. WITH OUR HOMECOMING WEEK LAST WEEK WE HAD A SPIRIT WEEK WITH THAT AND TO OUR ACTUAL DANCE, WE SOLD 1200 TICKETS TO OUR REO THEMED DANCE.

SOME OF OUR SENIOR EVENTS THAT WE HAVE HAD, WE'VE HAD OUR SENIOR SUNRISE, WE'VE REPAINTED THE ROCK, AND THEN WE PAINTED OUR SENIOR PARKING SPOTS WITH THE START OF SCHOOL.

WE'VE HAD TWO ASSEMBLIES SO FAR. OUR BACK TO SCHOOL ASSEMBLY AND THEN OUR HOMECOMING ASSEMBLY.

AND THEN WE HAD OUR BAND AND HALFTIME PARADE LAST FRIDAY AT OUR HOME GAME VERSUS UNION.

SOME UPDATES ON CLUBS AND CLASSES ARE. DECA HAD THEIR ALL PAWS ON DECK EVENT LAST WEEK AND THEY RAISED OVER $11,800 FOR THE HUMANE SOCIETY AND WENT TO HUSKY MAN DAY AT UW. AND OUR RED CROSS IS HAVING THEIR BLOOD DRIVE THIS WEEK, OCTOBER 1ST.

CHOIR HAS AN UPCOMING CONCERT ON OCTOBER 14TH.

YOU GUYS SHOULD GO. AND THEN I JUST FOUNDED THIS NEW CLUB, JOE SQUAD, WHICH IS OUR STUDENT SECTION, TO JUST BRING HYPE ALL AROUND THE SCHOOL AND NOT JUST TO OUR MAIN SPORTS, BUT SPREAD IT EVENLY AMONGST.

[00:15:02]

LINK CREW HAD THEIR HUGE ORIENTATION AND HAD THEIR FIRST GATHERING LAST WEEK DURING ADVISORY.

LATINOS UNIDOS IS GOING TO LA CHISPA EVENT LATER THIS WEEK AT WSU VANCOUVER.

OUR YOUTH HEALTH ALLIANCE GROUP DID A LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN TO PATIENTS AT LEGACY HOSPITAL.

OUR ASL CLASSES PERFORMED THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT OUR HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME, AND OUR UW ENSUE COLLEGE CLASSES HEADED THEIR REGISTRATIONS THIS WEEK. ALL RIGHT, TOUCHING IN ONTO SPORTS.

OUR VOLLEYBALL TEAM, AS MANY OF YOU GUYS MAY KNOW, HAD THEIR FIRST EVER OUTDOOR VOLLEYBALL GAME AT DOC HARRIS, WHICH HONORED LOCAL POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS ON 9/11.

AND THEN WE HAVE ALL OF OUR FALL SPORTS IN FULL SWING.

NOTEWORTHY IS BOYS GOLF, WHO ARE ACTIVELY WINNING TOURNAMENTS.

NICE. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US. ALL RIGHT, WAY TO GO.

[APPLAUSE]. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SOLD 1200 TICKETS.

IS THAT A RECORD? YOU KNOW? NO? THAT JUST SEEMS. THAT'S A LOT. IT'S A LOT. YEAH. I SAW KIDS ALL OVER TOWN GETTING PHOTOS AND HAVING DINNER AND.

QUICK QUESTION. WHAT WAS ON OCTOBER 14TH? WE HAVE A CHOIR CONCERT.

OH. THANK YOU. I WROTE DOWN OCTOBER 14TH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS FOR.

I WAS BUSY WRITING DOWN THE $11,000 THAT DECA RAISED TO DONATE TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY.

THAT'S PHENOMENAL. YEAH, RIGHT? [APPLAUSE]. AND THE IMPACT ONE CLUB COULD HAVE.

MY DOG WON THE COSTUME. SECOND PLACE. WOW! WHAT WAS IT DRESSED AS? HOT DOG, I THINK. HOT DOG? YEAH. GREAT JOB. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I LOVE IT.

STUDENT EXPRESSION FORUM. IS THAT. THAT'S JUST THE.

WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IF ANY OTHER STUDENTS WANT TO SHARE ANYTHING, OR IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GET UP AND SHARE ANYTHING ELSE, WE HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.

WE USED TO CALL IT STUDENT PUBLIC COMMENTS, BUT I THINK THAT WE THOUGHT THAT SCARED STUDENTS AWAY. SO JUST ANYTIME KIDS ARE IN THE ROOM, LIKE IF YOU WANT TO SHARE ANYTHING ELSE, LIKE.

YEAH, WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT WHEN MY KIDS WERE THERE. THEY WOULD HAVE LOVED THAT.

IT'S SO COOL.

WAY TO GO. WE'LL HAVE TO COME TAKE A PEEK AT THEM WHEN THEY'RE NOT COVERED IN CARS.

AWESOME. SO NOW MOVING ON TO BOARD COMMUNICATIONS.

[5. BOARD COMMUNICATION ]

ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S ACTUALLY. OUR FIRST COMMITTEES ARE GOING TO START MEETING.

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN AND DUE BY SEPTEMBER 30TH.

CR CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE. THE FIRST MEETING WILL BE OCTOBER 5TH.

THE LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY IS HOSTING THE LEGISLATIVE TOWN HALL OCTOBER 5TH AT DISCOVERY HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THE FIRST MEETING IS OCTOBER 19TH. I KNOW THEY'RE HARD AT WORK PUTTING THAT EVENT TOGETHER.

THE ARTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE FIRST MEETING IS OCTOBER 15TH.

AND JUST ANYBODY INTERESTED ANYBODY HERE OR ONLINE THOUGH THE APPLICATIONS ARE BEING ACTIVELY TAKEN FOR NEW MEMBERS RIGHT NOW. SEPTEMBER 30TH IS THE DEADLINE, WHICH IS IN TWO DAYS.

WEDNESDAY. SO GET THOSE APPLICATIONS IN AND GET INVOLVED.

ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SHARE FOR BOARD COMMUNICATIONS? ANY UPDATES? ANY FUN FACTS? I'LL JUST GIVE A LITTLE UPDATE.

LAST WEEK I WENT TO A. THERE WAS A LEGISLATIVE EVENT DOWNTOWN CAMAS THAT WAS PUT ON BY THE VANCOUVER CHAMBER AND THE SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION.

SO IT WASN'T REALLY ADVERTISED A LOT DOWNTOWN CAMAS, BUT IT WAS.

THE FORUM WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY HAD ALL THE LEGISLATIVE, THE INCUMBENTS AND THEIR OPPONENTS, THE CHALLENGERS WERE ALL THERE AND THEY JUST SPOKE FOR LIKE TWO MINUTES.

THEY WENT ALL WENT DOWN THE LINE. AND THEN IT WAS JUST LIKE SOCIALIZING, LIKE JUST GET TO KNOW THEM, RIGHT? BUT ONE THING THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING IS THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL OF THEM THAT STILL SPOKE ABOUT SCHOOLS, EVEN THOUGH THEIR AUDIENCE WAS NOT SCHOOLS, THEIR AUDIENCE WAS CONTRACTORS AND BUSINESS OWNERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT WHEN THEY WENT DOWN THE LINE AND SPOKE, SO JUST SCHOOLS IS ON THEIR MIND.

AND SO IT'S LIKE GOING TO THOSE EVENTS, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT ALWAYS THERE, I'M ALWAYS THERE IN MY SCHOOL BOARD HAT, BUT ALSO AS MY BUSINESS HAT. THEY'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS KIND OF A REFRESHING THING.

BESIDES THAT, I KNOW I'VE EMAILED YOU GUYS ALL ABOUT WORKING THE CONCESSIONS ON THE 30TH.

I KNOW BAMINI IS NOT AVAILABLE, BUT I'M GOING TO COORDINATE ALL THAT WITH LISA SO THAT WE ALL CAN.

IT'S IN OCTOBER. WORK THE CONCESSIONS AT A GAME COMING UP AND THAT'S ALL I GOT.

BAMINI AND I LAST WEEKEND REPRESENTED THE BOARD AT WSDA GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

IT WAS VIRTUAL, BUT IT WAS A FULL DAY PACKED FULL OF ACTION.

[00:20:01]

I THINK THERE WAS A RECORD NUMBER OF PROPOSALS AND IF YOU WERE FOLLOWING ALONG BASICALLY THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE, I THINK PRETTY MUCH WITHOUT EXCEPTION, ALL OF THOSE THINGS PASSED ALONG THE WAY OF THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE.

THERE WAS A LITTLE EXCITEMENT AROUND PULLING SOME THINGS OUT OF A CONSENT AGENDA, BUT IT ALL EVENTUALLY PASSED.

I DON'T KNOW. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO THAT, BAMINI? NO, IT WAS DEFINITELY FROM 8 TO 5. LOTS OF GLITCHES TECHNICAL WISE, BUT IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING TO HEAR JUST DIFFERENT OPINIONS THAT COME OUT OF ALL OF THAT. IT IS WORTHY OF ATTENDING AND TAKING A LOOK AT THE HANDBOOK OF WHAT'S BEING DISCUSSED.

AND THEN ONE THING THAT I SHARED WITH EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD, NOW THAT THOSE POSITIONS HAVE BEEN VOTED ON BY THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP, THEY'VE SENT US OUT. THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR BOARD'S TOP FIVE ARE SO THAT THOSE GO INTO ADVOCACY.

THEY'RE KIND OF ADVOCACY, STRATEGY AND PLAN. SO I SENT A LITTLE FORM OUT TO ALL FIVE OF YOU.

AND I'M JUST COLLECTING THOSE TOP FIVES AND THEN I'LL SUBMIT THAT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD.

I HAVE TO HAVE IT DONE BY THE END OF. IT'S DUE FOR ME, I THINK, I THINK I HAVE TO HAVE IT IN BY OCTOBER 4TH.

SO IF YOU CAN GET IT DONE BY SOMETIME THIS WEEK, I KNOW, I THINK I SAW THAT TRACEY GOT IT DONE.

OKAY. LET'S NOT PLAY IT OUT. OH WELL I'M NOT.

I'M JUST GOING TO SAY TRACEY GOT IT DONE. I WON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE.

SO YEAH, IT'S IN YOUR EMAIL IF YOU WANT TO JUST CHECK FOR THAT, BUT I'LL COMPILE EVERYTHING.

ONE THING I WILL SAY IS THAT THE TITLES FOR A LOT OF THESE POSITIONS, I DON'T THINK THEY NECESSARILY DESCRIBE THE POSITIONS AS ACCURATELY AS OTHERS. SO IF THERE'S ONE THAT CATCHES YOUR EYE, LIKE READ THE FULL POSITION BECAUSE LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF THEM THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR, BUT THE WORDINGS ARE LIKE A LOT AROUND FUNDING, BUT THE FUNDING, ALL THE WORDINGS AND THE FUNDING ONES ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

AND SO I KIND OF TOOK ALL OF THE FUNDING ONES AND WENT TO WHICH ONE I THOUGHT WAS MOST REPRESENTATIVE OF IT, SO. AND I THINK IN TALKING WITH SEVERAL OTHER DISTRICTS AND THEIR MEMBERS, IT FEELS LIKE AT LEAST THREE OUT OF FIVE, MAYBE, WERE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE WITH. SO IT'S KIND OF NICE TO KNOW THAT WE'RE ALL THINKING THE SAME THING.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND BAMINI, ARE YOU RUNNING FOR.

IS IT JUST SIX LEGISLATIVE. COMMITTEE. COMMITTEE.

AWESOME. AND WE'LL VOTE ON THAT AT WSDA. YES.

WE'RE PROUD OF YOU. IT'S VIA EMAIL. OH, IT'S THE EMAIL.

I STRUGGLE WITH MY EMAIL. THANK YOU. WELL, GREAT JOB.

THANK YOU TO YOU FOR SPENDING YOUR SATURDAY GLUED TO YOUR.

DEMOCRACY IN ACTION. RIVETING. YEAH. IT'S SURPRISING LIKE MORE PEOPLE DON'T RUN AGAINST US, RIGHT? CRAZY. THAT BRINGS US TO NUMBER 6. PRESENTATION.

OH, I AM. I'M SO EXCITED. I GOT THE AGENDA. I KNOW WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY COMMITTEES, BUT THERE WERE TWO THINGS.

I'M GLAD THE STUDENTS MENTIONED THE CHOIR EVENT BECAUSE I HAD THAT ON THERE. THERE'S ALSO.

COMING UP IN THE MONTH BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING IS THE TEACHER TALENT SHOW. THAT'S COMING UP ON THE 24TH AT THE CARVER.

SO THAT'S ALWAYS TERRIBLY FUN. IT'S A 7:00 SHOW ON THE 24TH.

IT IS FREE, BUT THEY DO ASK FOR DONATIONS. BUT THAT'S ALWAYS A WILD EVENT BECAUSE LAST YEAR IT WAS WHITNEY DOING THE NOSE FLUTE, STICKING IT IN GREG'S NOSE. SO YOU CAN'T MISS THAT, BUT JUST SOME GREAT STUFF.

ALSO, AT THE END OF THE MONTH STARTING ON THE 30TH IS CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL'S PRODUCTION OF TRAP.

IT'S A THEATRICAL MYSTERY SET IN A STAGE PRODUCTION.

LIKE PEOPLE COME TO A THEATER AND SOMETHING HAPPENS.

SO IT'S NOT A HORROR, BUT IT'S LIKE A MURDER MYSTERY TYPE OF THING.

THEATRICAL MYSTERY.

OF OCTOBER. OCTOBER. SORRY. SO, YEAH, I'M THINKING AHEAD.

SO I'M GOING TO SEND OUT A NOTE LIKE I DO EVERY YEAR, REMINDING EVERYONE THAT I KNOW TO PLEASE ATTEND THE THEATER PRODUCTION. BUT THOSE ARE THE TWO BIG ARTS ONES. I KNOW THERE'S ANOTHER THING THE STUDENTS DIDN'T GET TO MENTION, BUT OUR DRAMA DEPARTMENT IS COORDINATING WITH GET TOGETHER FARMS. GET TOGETHER IS ALWAYS DOING ALL SORTS OF THINGS.

DRAMA STUDENTS ARE HELPING WITH A HAUNTED HOUSE THERE.

SO APPARENTLY THEY'RE LEVERAGING THEIR MAKEUP AND ACTING SKILLS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ENTAILS, BUT APPARENTLY THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING. SO THERE SEEMS. THAT FARM DOES EVERYTHING REALLY FOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

SO THOSE ARE THE BIG THINGS, JUST ART ONES. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR COMMITTEE STARTING UP. JOHN, HOW ARE THE COMMITTEES GOING FOR LIKE APPLICATIONS? THE ONES THAT WE HAVE? I'D HAVE TO ASK MY PARTNER OVER HERE, SHAUNA, HOW THOSE ARE GOING.

BUT TO YOUR EARLIER POINT, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OUT OF SCHOOL PARTICIPATION AND ACTIVITY THAT THESE COMMITTEES ARE DOING.

I MEAN, THE CANDIDATE FORUM AND I'LL SHARE IT A LITTLE BIT, COMPLETELY PARENT RUN.

[00:25:01]

SO HOW ARE WE LOOKING? OKAY. AND I WAS GOING TO. THANK YOU. I WAS GOING TO MENTION, I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT EDUCATION IS BEING REPRESENTED IN OTHER PLACES.

BECAUSE I REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO, WE HEARD FROM OUR LEGISLATORS THAT LIKE EDUCATION WAS LIKE NUMBER NINE OUT OF TEN PRIORITIES.

AND THEY'RE LIKE, WE'RE JUST NOT HEARING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT. AND WE'RE LIKE, THAT'S ALL WE HEAR.

I MEAN, WE'RE STEEPED IN IT, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT'S NICE TO HEAR THAT IT IS ON THE RADAR OUTSIDE OF EDUCATION AND THAT HOPEFULLY OUR LEGISLATORS ARE HEARING THAT. ANYONE PLANNING ON MONDAY? GOING IN THE MONDAY EVENT THIS COMING MONDAY AT DISCOVERY? YEAH. I'LL BE THERE. YEAH. I THINK WE HAVE OUR FIRST CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

IS THAT RIGHT? AND SO I THINK WE ARE GOING TO END IN TIME TO MAKE IT OVER TO THAT.

YEAH. WE'RE GOING TO SHIFT THE TIME TO WE'LL START CAC AT 5:15 AND REALLY, REALLY TRY TO STICK TO ONE HOUR.

WE HAVE A PRETTY TIGHT AGENDA, AND THEN THAT GIVES PEOPLE A CHANCE TO GO OVER TO DISCOVERY.

SHAUNA TALKED TO A FEW MEMBERS TODAY THAT WERE REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. THEY WANT TO DO BOTH.

MAYBE WE CAN HAVE OUR MEETING THERE AT DISCOVERY KNOW IN SOME ROOM? YEAH, BUT FOR CSD. OH, YEAH. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME IF WE COULD.

IT'S ONLY PART OF THE GROUP, RIGHT? SINCE YOU'RE. YOU WON'T HAVE THE NEW MEMBERS TO CSD.

YEAH, YEAH. SO IT'S JUST IF WE CAN MANAGE THAT, IF WE CAN SWING THAT, THEN THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

IT'S A LOT EASIER FOR ME, BUT I WANT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THE GROUP, SO.

YEAH. OKAY. THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

AND THEN EVERYBODY COULD JUST WALK DOWN STAIRS OR WALK DOWN THE HALL. YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT, DOC. ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD. YEAH. GOOD SUGGESTION.

CSD IS THAT NIGHT AS WELL RIGHT. OR THAT AFTERNOON? THEY'RE HERE. OKAY. THEY'RE HERE FROM 4 TO 5.

THAT ACTUALLY WOULD HELP A LOT BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO REALLY DO A QUICK TURNAROUND ON THE, ON THE SET UP IN HERE.

AND THAT'S WHY WE SAID 5:15 INSTEAD OF FIVE. SO THAT ACTUALLY COULD WORK.

WELL. WE'RE THERE. YEAH YEAH YEAH ABSOLUTELY.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS. AND REVIEWING OUR COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS, I THINK I SIGNED UP FOR CAC.

WHO ELSE IS? YOU OKAY? YOU AND I CAC, YOU THERE? I SAID I COULD. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO ROTATE THROUGH, BUT. OKAY.

I SAID YES TO THE CALENDAR INVITE. IF YOU WANT ME TO GO, I CAN GO ON NEXT MONDAY.

AND THEN THE LAC IS YOU AND BAMINI. OKAY, PERFECT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, NOW WE CAN MOVE ON TO OUR SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.

[6. PRESENTATIONS ]

THIS IS COPIES OF DATA. THANK YOU. THANKS, DOCTOR.

DAN THANK YOU STUDENTS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

SO SEPTEMBER 28TH, I ADDED THE WEBSITE ON THERE.

SO OUR PEOPLE AT HOME COULD, COULD HOP ON OUR WEBSITE AND DOUBLE CHECK SOME OF THIS INFORMATION FOR ME.

STARTING OFF WITH ENROLLMENT THIS IS AS OF SEPTEMBER 4TH.

SO THIS IS REALLY OUR FIRST OFFICIAL COUNT. SO THOSE NUMBERS THAT I PUT UP FOR YOU IN AUGUST WERE REALLY PRELIMINARY UNOFFICIAL.

SO THIS IS REALLY WHAT, WHAT OUR BUDGET WILL, WILL BE BASED ON.

SO 6000. CAN YOU JUST CAN YOU REMIND ME REALLY.

MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD WHAT WE ENDED THE YEAR AT LAST YEA?.

NO. OUR FINAL FTE. I'LL HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S OKAY. IT'S PROBABLY IF YOU WANT TO CHECK.

YEAH. OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. BUT COREY.

I LIKE THAT QUESTION BECAUSE JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE UP A LITTLE SECONDARY DOWN A LITTLE ELEMENTARY.

SO, SO REALLY KIND OF A NEUTRAL. OUR WORRY CONTINUES TO BE THOSE, THOSE PRIMARY GRADES, BUT WE'RE NOT ALONE IN THAT.

SO ANYWAY, WE'LL GET TO THAT IN A SECOND COREY BUT 6750 IS OUR, WHAT OUR, WHAT WILL BE FUNDED AT CAMAS HIGH SCHOOL 1906.

NOW THIS IS REMOVING RUNNING START KEEP IN MIND, OKAY, SO THERE'S REALLY ABOUT 2100 ENROLLED.

BUT 1906 THAT WE SEE FTE EVERY DAY. DISCOVERY IS AT 217 HAYES FREEDOM AT 130.

AND WE KNOW BOTH OF THOSE SCHOOLS WILL LIKELY GROW AS THE YEAR MOVES FORWARD.

AND THEN GRAD ALLIANCE, THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY STUDENTS WHO ARE ACCESSING GRAD ALLIANCE.

THESE ARE OUR FULL TIME ONLINE ENROLLEES MIDDLE SCHOOLS SITTING AT 718 AT LIBERTY AND 793 AT SKYRIDGE.

WE, WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BUMP PRIMARILY FROM THE AGAPE CHRISTIAN CLOSING, BUT ALSO THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF GROWTH IN THAT, IN THAT AREA WHERE LIBERTY, AS YOU KNOW, IS A LITTLE BIT MORE LANDLOCKED AS FAR AS HOUSING GOES.

AND THEN ODYSSEY IS CONSISTENTLY HOVERING AROUND THAT 300 STUDENT MARK.

[00:30:02]

REMEMBER THIS IS NOW FIVE WEEKS OR THREE WEEKS OLD OR WHATNOT.

SO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS LIKE I SAID, THIS IS WHERE A LITTLE BIT OF MY CONCERN LIES WHERE PRUNE HILL IS NOW DROPPED UNDER 400 STUDENTS.

THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD A WHILE PROBABLY REMEMBER IT WASN'T LONG AGO WHERE THAT SCHOOL WAS FLIRTING WITH ALMOST 600 STUDENTS.

SO I SEE A PRETTY SERIOUS DROP. WOODBURN AS WELL.

JUST FIVE SHORT YEARS AGO WHEN I GOT HERE, THAT SCHOOL WAS ABOUT 650.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT CONSISTENT DROP. NOW WE DO SEE SOME BRIGHT SPOTS WITH ENROLLMENT, WITH GRASS VALLEY BEING PRETTY CONSISTENT AND A LITTLE BIT OF A OF A BUMP FROM AUGUST. AND THEN OF COURSE, LACK OF MISS LAKE, WHICH IS AT 420.

AND YOU REMEMBER IT WASN'T LONG AGO WHERE IT WAS WELL UNDER 400 STUDENTS.

SO WE'RE SEEING THE CONTINUING TO SEE THE GROWTH IN THE RIGHT PLACES.

WE'VE JUST GOT OUR EYE ON A FEW. WE ARE WE ARE FILLING SOME TEACHING POSITIONS IN AREAS THAT WE NEEDED AT WHERE WE'RE A LITTLE HIGH OVERALL IN CERTAIN GRADE AREAS, GRADE LEVELS, BUT OVERALL, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT.

AND THEN I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SAY THAT THAT HLC HAS ALSO GROWN EVEN FROM AUGUST.

SO WE'RE SEEING THOSE PRE-K KIDS COMING IN. WE JUST CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT THEY'RE ALL CAMAS STUDENTS.

SO THOUGHTS DO YOU HAVE THAT? [INAUDIBLE] 6803.

SO ABOUT 53 STUDENTS LESS THAN THAN WHERE WE ENDED LAST YEAR.

AND WE'LL, YOU KNOW, I'LL KEEP YOU IN, YOU KNOW, IN THE LOOP ON EVERY MONTH AS WE GO.

AND THEN OF COURSE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN BETWEEN BOARD MEETINGS, JUST LET ME KNOW. I'LL KIND OF GIVE YOU THE SKINNY. WE'RE WE HAVE A BUBBLE.

DON'T WE HAVE A BUBBLE? KIND OF SIXTH, SEVENTH, EIGHTH GRADE, THEIR THEIR LARGER CLASSES, NOT AS BIG ABOVE AND BELOW THEM. SO THAT'S KIND OF MOVING THROUGH.

IT IS MOVING, IT IS MOVING THROUGH. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE SEEING KIND OF THAT LITTLE BUMP IN, IN MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. THE CONCERN IS, OF COURSE, IS ONCE THAT BUMP DRIES OUT.

NOW, THE OTHER THEORY ON THIS IS THAT FAMILIES COULD POTENTIALLY AFFORD MOVING INTO CAMAS AS THEY'RE MORE ESTABLISHED AND THEIR KIDS ARE A LITTLE OLDER.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE THING WE'RE WATCHING. AND I THINK THE DEMOGRAPHY STUDY WILL HELP TO SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, WILL WE, WILL WE BE IN AN OKAY POSITION BECAUSE WE HAVE OLDER STUDENTS STILL MOVING IN AND WE CAN KIND OF ABSORB THE FACT THAT THOSE PRIMARY GRADES AREN'T MOVING. I DON'T KNOW. SO I THINK THE BIG CONCERN IS THE LONG TERM, RIGHT? HOW WILL THAT EBB AND FLOW GO? SO GOOD QUESTION CONNIE.

OKAY. I JUST WANT TO REVISIT BEFORE WE GET INTO THE DATA UPDATE, I JUST WANT TO REVISIT OUR GOAL.

SO REMEMBER FROM OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION, RESPONSIVE PATHWAYS, AND OF COURSE, A CULTURE OF SAFETY AND BELONGING. AND THESE ARE THE SIX AREAS THAT FALL UNDER THAT THAT WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING ON ON THIS YEAR.

SO JUST A REMINDER, MATH INSTRUCTION ACROSS THE STATE.

AND WE'RE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN SOME OF THIS MOVEMENT IN THE REGION.

AND WE HAVE SOME GOOD HEADS WORKING ON SOME OF THE STANDARD CHANGES AND REALLY PUTTING AN EMPHASIS ON OUR MATH INSTRUCTION, BUT NEVER, EVER KEEP TAKING OUR EYE OFF OF LITERACY, WHICH IS REALLY BEEN A HOME RUN FOR CAMAS SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

THE RESPONSIBLE AI INTEGRATION. SO THE PLAN WITH THAT IS CAC WILL BE HEARING FROM DEREK AND REALLY LOOKING AT WHERE WE ARE WITH AI, GETTING THAT PARENT BUY IN AND FEEDBACK BEFORE WE PUT ANYTHING OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY.

SO THIS WAS THAT FINAL STEP WITH CAC KIND OF, YOU KNOW, CIRCLE BACK WITH THEM FROM A YEAR OF WORK, FIGURE OUT ARE WE IN A GOOD SPOT WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS, THE PLATFORM WE'RE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDING OR REQUIRING REALLY AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

SO I WOULD SAY YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE SOME COMMUNICATION GOING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE WITHIN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 WEEKS.

DEREK. DOES THAT SOUND ACCURATE? MTSS OF COURSE, MEETING THE NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS.

YOU'LL SEE IN THE DATA IN A LITTLE BIT. WE'RE REALLY, REALLY MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IN SO MANY AREAS, BUT THERE'S STILL SOME STRUGGLING AREAS THAT WE NEED TO HIT AND MTSS, MTSS WORK REALLY WRAPS OUR ARMS AROUND ALL STUDENTS.

THE CULTURE OF CREATIVITY, WHICH HAS REALLY, REALLY BEEN A THEME FOR THIS YEAR, ENSURING THAT OUR KIDS, OUR STAFF, ALL OF US ARE TYING ALL WE DO INTO BRINGING THE MOST CREATIVITY OUT OF OUR KIDS AND THEN ACCOUNTABILITY.

AND THAT INCLUDES FROM MYSELF ALL THE WAY DOWN, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ACCOUNTABLE TO OTHERS AS WELL AS OURSELVES.

SO JUST TO KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

OKAY, SO I WANT TO JUST TAKE A LOOK REALLY QUICKLY.

THIS IS RIGHT OFF OF THE WASHINGTON REPORT CARD.

SO IT'S EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, BUT I KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED SOME AREAS FOR YOU.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THIS CHART, THIS IS THE EXACT CHART THAT WE HAVE IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT PAGE. I SHOULD KNOW THAT BY NOW, BUT ON THE LEFT SIDE, THE RIGHT SIDE REMEMBER IS SOCIAL EMOTIONAL.

[00:35:04]

SO JUST FOCUSING ON ACADEMICS FOR RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN SEE I PUT KINDERGARTEN READINESS IN ORANGE AND THE KEY THERE AT THE BOTTOM STATES THAT THIS IS AN AREA OF CONCERN, AT LEAST FOR ME. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT KINDERGARTEN READINESS IS THIS IS PROBABLY THE AREA WE HAVE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF CONTROL, RIGHT? THESE ARE HOW STUDENTS ARE BEING ASSESSED AND EVALUATED BEFORE THEY ENTER KINDERGARTEN OR JUST AS THEY'RE ENTERING KINDERGARTEN.

THE INTERESTING THING IS, YES, WE DO HAVE A ROBUST PRESCHOOL PROGRAM, BUT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ARE COMING FROM OUR PRESCHOOL PROGRAM.

SO THIS IS AN AREA THAT I WOULD SAY WE'RE PRETTY FAR OFF OF OUR TARGET IN 2027 AND 28, WHICH WOULD BE THE FIVE YEAR MARK OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. SO AGAIN, THE MORE STUDENTS THAT WE THINK THAT CAN ENROLL IN OUR PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS, THE HIGHER WE THINK OUR KIDS WILL COME IN ASSESSED AND ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR TCK BECAUSE WE THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE.

CONNIE. SO YEARS AGO, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER WHERE WE HAD DAN LOWRY WAS LEADING THE PROGRAM THAT WE LEARNED ABOUT.

WAS IT RICHLAND OR IN TRI-CITIES? WE WENT AND THEY, WE WOULD INVITE THE COMMUNITY IN KIND OF A PRESCHOOL PARENTS AND THEY WOULD LEARN A LESSON AND GET A BOOK THAT THEY COULD WORK ON CERTAIN SKILLS THAT THE KIDS NEEDED TO BE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN.

AND SO THERE WAS, IT WAS SORT OF A COMMUNITY OUTREACH WHERE WE WOULD HOST THESE EVENINGS.

DO YOU REMEMBER THAT AT ALL? DEREK. YEAH, THOSE WERE REALLY AWESOME.

AND I, I DON'T, THEY MAY HAVE KIND OF GONE BY THE WAYSIDE WHILE WE INTEGRATED TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN AND OTHER EARLY LEARNING THINGS.

BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE KIND OF SCALED BACK ON THOSE, I WONDER IF WE SHOULD LOOK AT MAYBE BRINGING THAT BACK AS SORT OF A COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, FOR THE KIDS THAT AREN'T IN PRESCHOOL OR EVEN SOME OF THEM THAT ARE JUST LIKE, WHAT ARE THE SKILLS THAT THEY REALLY NEED TO BE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN.

AND HOW ARE WE HELPING COMMUNITY MEMBERS WORK WITH THEIR KIDS TO DEVELOP THESE SKILLS SO THEY'RE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT, WHAT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WAS FOR THAT PROGRAM OR WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE, OR IF WE HAVE ANY MONEY, BUT IT'D BE SOMETHING INTERESTING TO LOOK AT.

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THAT GAP HAS OPENED UP AGAIN.

SO JUST LIKE, LIKE A PARENT WORKSHOP KIND OF THING. YEAH, IT WOULD BE AN EVENING THING. AND WE, YOU KNOW, THE KIDS WOULD GO AND DO A LITTLE ACTIVITY AND THEN THE PARENTS WOULD BE IN KIND OF LIKE A TRAINING LIKE TONIGHT, WE'RE WORKING ON PATTERNS AND HOW YOU CAN WORK WITH YOUR CHILD TO RECOGNIZE PATTERNS AND THEY'D ALL GO HOME WITH LIKE A LITTLE BAG WITH LIKE A LITTLE LESSON OR A LITTLE MANIPULATIVES OR SOMETHING. I MEAN, IT WASN'T SUPER EXPENSIVE STUFF, BUT THERE WAS AN EXPENSE TO IT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SEND HIM HOME WITH SOMETHING.

I MEAN, EVEN IF IT WASN'T PHYSICAL THINGS AND IT'S JUST SORT OF INSTRUCTIONS OR A STORY OR WEBSITES NOW THAT THEY CAN GO TO AND HAVE THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE, YOU KNOW IT, WE DON'T ALL KNOW WHAT OUR KIDS NEED TO KNOW TO ENTER INTO KINDERGARTEN, RIGHT? YOU THINK? OKAY, LEARN YOUR COLORS, LEARN THE ABCS.

YOU'RE READY. BUT IT'S SO MUCH MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.

AND I THINK YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.

SO HELPING OUR COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE, YOU KNOW, CRITICAL MILESTONES ARE AND THOSE THINGS TO LEARN, I THINK REALLY HELPED A LOT OF THOSE KIDS GET READY SO THAT WHEN THEY ARRIVED IN KINDERGARTEN, THEY WERE READY WHETHER THEY WENT TO PRESCHOOL OR NOT, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT DIDN'T ATTEND PRESCHOOL.

SO ANYWAY, SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. TRACEY. TRACEY.

COREY. OH YEAH. OH YEAH. JUST TALKING ABOUT THE PRE-K TO KINDERGARTEN READINESS YOU HAD FOR THE HEIGHTS, YOU HAD LIKE 242 UP THERE, BUT LAST YEAR, LAST YEAR WE HAD 153 THAT COMBINING THE COMMUNITY ADD NUMBER AND HEIGHTS OR IS IT ALL ONE? IS THAT, IS THAT INCLUDING PAPER MAKER? I DON'T KNOW YET.

IT'S STILL THAT NUMBER IS LIKE WAY LARGER. ARE WE NEARING WHAT'S OUR CAPACITY FOR? I MEAN, AGAIN, WHAT CLEARLY SOME OF THE COMMUNICATION EFFORT WENT.

IT DID. YARD SIGNS. THEY PUSHED HARD. YEAH. AND I THINK THE TRANSITION FROM THE INTEGRATION, IT TOOK ABOUT A YEAR TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, FAMILIES TO GET USED TO THAT.

SO YEAH, WE ARE DEFINITELY SEEING A BIG BUMP.

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE CAPACITY THOUGH. I COULD I COULD DOUBLE CHECK. I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT THERE'S ANY SAFETY ISSUES OR ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT.

BUT YEAH, THAT'S. WE CAN DO TOO IF WE ASSUME THAT.

YES, PRE-K DO BETTER WHEN THEY GET INTO KINDERGARTEN, WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA.

YOU DON'T SPLIT IT OUT. YEAH. NO, I'M ASSUMING THAT HELPS.

AND I'LL TELL YOU TO ONE LITTLE CAVEAT IS THAT BECAUSE OF THAT GATE, WE ACTUALLY HELD OPEN HOUSE HERE IN THE BOARDROOM.

AND I THOUGHT THAT THAT THAT ENDED UP. AND I THINK REBECCA WOULD AGREE THAT WAS A REALLY NICE BOOST BECAUSE FAMILIES WERE KIND OF INTEGRATING TOGETHER.

IT WASN'T ISOLATED IN THE ROOMS. I HAVE A FEELING THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT, BUT MAYBE WE CAN WE CAN KIND OF TIE IN.

[00:40:01]

I WAS KIND OF THINKING THAT. YEAH. AND AN INVITE.

I MEAN, THAT'S GREAT FOR THOSE GOING TOO. RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. MAYBE MAKE IT A TRUE OPEN HOUSE.

FOR THE COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE FOR, YOU KNOW, PRESCHOOL AGE KIDS.

I LIKE IT. YEAH. BAMINI. SO WHEN KIDS ENTER KINDERGARTEN, DO WE KNOW WHAT PERCENT MIGHT HAVE GONE TO PRESCHOOL OR WHAT ARE COMING STRAIGHT FROM HOME? LIKE, DO WE HAVE? THAT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT.

I DON'T KNOW. ISN'T THAT, DON'T THEY DO THAT LIKE WALK INS ASSESSMENT? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. OKAY. BUT THAT'S THAT IS DONE AFTER SCHOOL STARTS.

RIGHT. RIGHT. I CAN LOOK INTO THAT. BAMINI. I'M JUST CURIOUS.

YEAH. ESPECIALLY WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. YEAH. IT WOULD MAKE SENSE IF, YOU KNOW, MOST WEREN'T PRE-K.

AND THAT WOULD BE VERY USEFUL. YEAH. AND MY GUESS IS THAT COMES OUT IN THE WASH WHEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE KINDERGARTEN READINESS SCORES.

THERE'S LIKELY A VERY CLEAR DIFFERENCE SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CONTROL OVER IT.

I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE TARGET OF THE CURRENT STUDENT ONES WE COULD TALK ABOUT.

BUT LIKE THE TARGET, HOW CAN YOU HIT A TARGET IF YOU'RE LIKE, WE DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THAT. IT'S A LOFTY TARGET.

IT IS. IT WAS A 5% BUMP FROM WHERE WE WERE IN 22-23.

SO WE WE ENDED UP DECIDING TO GO STANDARDIZED ACROSS THE BOARD AT 5%.

AND SO MAYBE WE RELOOK AT THAT MATH AND MAYBE WE CAN RELOOK AT IT.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY TOO. I MEAN, I THINK THE NEXT SLIDE IS, IS EVEN, I THINK FOR ME IS EVEN MORE ENLIGHTENING BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THAT STEADY DECLINE OVER THE OVER THE LAST WHAT IS IT, FOUR YEARS FOR KINDERGARTEN READINESS.

I'D BE INTERESTED IN SEEING TO LIKE WHAT SOME OF OUR, IF SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORING SCHOOLS, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY, IF THEY COLLECT THE SAME KIND OF DATA OR IF THAT'S.

OR YOU SAID THIS IS YEAH, THIS IS THIS IS OSB.

THIS SHOULD BE EASY FOR DISTRICTS. I'D BE I'D BE INTERESTED IN SEEING THAT TOO.

IF THAT'S NOT. NOT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK FOR AN EXCUSE OR SOMETHING, BUT IF THAT IS A MORE LIKE WIDESPREAD TREND, OKAY. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE I'M JUST THINKING LIKE WHEN WE FIRST, AT LEAST ON THIS CHART, THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR, THAT'S STILL KIND OF HOT OFF OF.

OH, YEAH. AND I KNOW THAT A LOT OF THE YOU KNOW, AT THAT TIME, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHAT KIDS SPECIFICALLY, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF KIND OF THE BENCHMARKS FOR THINGS WERE ADJUSTED A LOT.

SO I DON'T KNOW THAT'S. IT IS, I AGREE, IT'S WE, IT'S THE ONE WE HAVE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF CONTROL OVER.

BUT IT'S ALSO THE ONE THAT, I MEAN, WE KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OVER THE YEARS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT EARLY LEARNING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF, YOU KNOW, SETTING KIDS UP FOR SUCCESS EARLY LIKE THAT.

SO THAT IS DEFINITELY THE MOST, YOU KNOW, ALARMING ONE THAT I SEE.

100% [INAUDIBLE] CAPACITY. IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP PROMOTE THE CAPACITY FROM 242, YOU'RE OUT TO, YOU KNOW, 282 90, YOU'RE THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF KIDS GOING INTO KINDERGARTEN.

THEN WE COULD BE INFLUENCED. WELL, I ALSO THINK IT'S I ALSO THINK THAT IT WOULD BE A.

IT WOULD BE GOOD INFORMATION FOR WHEN WE'RE TALKING TO OUR LEGISLATORS AS WELL.

I MEAN, THEY KEEP THEY KEEP, YOU KNOW, CUTTING THE LEGS OUT FROM UNDERNEATH TK OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

SO YEAH, NO, THOSE ARE GREAT POINTS FOR SURE.

I WILL LOOK INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT AND GET BACK TO YOU AND SEE WHAT CAPACITY IS.

I KNOW PAPERMAKER, DEREK CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IS FULL.

THAT'S ONLY THAT ONE ROOM THOUGH. SO OKAY, MOVING ON, I'LL KIND OF WHIP THROUGH THIS A LITTLE BIT.

I HIGHLIGHTED THESE AS FAR AS THE ALL STUDENTS CATEGORY GOES, YOU CAN SEE THE GROWTH.

WE'RE REALLY, REALLY GETTING CLOSE ON ELA. OUR TARGET IS 79.

WE'RE AT ALMOST 76. MATH I, THAT BAR IS 69. WE'RE AT JUST ABOUT 66.

AND I'LL TELL YOU KUDOS TO OUR TEACHERS. KUDOS TO OUR STAFF.

WE'RE ONE OF THE ONLY DISTRICTS IN OUR REGION, LET ALONE THE STATE THAT IS ACTUALLY SHOWING GROWTH IN MATH.

IT'S WHY THERE'S SUCH AN EMPHASIS ACROSS THE STATE, ACROSS THE COUNTRY REALLY IN MATH.

BUT I'M REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT OUR STAFF IS DOING THERE.

AND THEN SCIENCE. AMAZING. DOUG AND GRIFFIN WILL COULD GET INTO THE MORE SPECIFICS AT ANOTHER TIME, MAYBE A WORKSHOP AND LOOKING AT GRADE LEVELS AND SCHOOLS, BUT OVERALL, WE'VE ALREADY MET AND EXCEEDED OUR TARGET IN SCIENCE, AND I'M EXPECTING THAT TO GO UP MORE. I DO WANT I DON'T WANT TO FORGET ABOUT THOSE STUDENT GROUPS THOUGH.

IEP ML AND LOW INCOME, OF COURSE, THOSE ARE THREE AREAS ARE ALWAYS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT.

AND THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT NEARLY WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.

AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE HARD WORK HAPPENS. AND I KNOW OUR PEOPLE ACROSS OUR SCHOOLS ARE JUST GRINDING REALLY, REALLY HARD WITH THESE, WITH THESE INCREDIBLE STUDENTS TO GET THEM TO WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.

SO I DON'T WANT TO JUST PUT THE HIGHLIGHT TOO MUCH ON THE OVERALL STUDENTS, BECAUSE THE REAL WORK IS IN THOSE OTHER STUDENT GROUPS.

TO SEE AT SOME POINT WHERE WE, THE NEXT PAGE, WE SEE THE GROWTH OVER THE YEARS.

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE BREAKING IT DOWN BY THOSE GROUPS TOO.

LIKE, ARE WE GROWING IN THOSE GROUPS? THEY'RE LOWER THAN.

BUT ARE WE MAKING PROGRESS OR ARE WE LOSING GROUND? I DIDN'T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF THE PRINCIPLES BECAUSE THIS DATA IS PRETTY FRESH.

[00:45:01]

BUT NO, THAT'S GREAT. AND I, AND I KNOW GRIFFIN I DON'T SPEAK FOR GRIFFIN, BUT GRIFFIN AND DOUG ARE LOOKING PRETTY DEEPLY INTO THAT AS WE SPEAK.

SO AND THEN STUDENT GROWTH THIS IS OBVIOUSLY GROWTH OVER TIME.

THIS IS, THIS IS ALWAYS A TOUGH ONE, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALREADY A DISTRICT THAT SCORES RATHER HIGH TO SEE INCREMENTAL GROWTH CAN BE A CHALLENGE.

AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT. SO AGAIN, WE'RE STILL PRETTY FAR AWAY FROM OUR 27-28 TARGET.

AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST, WE'RE TRYING TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT THAT'S AN AREA OF CONCERN FOR ME.

GETTING BACK TO SOME POSITIVES AND OUR ML WORK YOU CAN SEE THAT NEARLY 61% OF OUR STUDENTS IN THAT CATEGORY MADE PROGRESS.

AND ALMOST 25, A LITTLE OVER 25.5 GAINED PROFICIENCY.

SO WE'VE EXCEEDED OUR TARGET ON MAKING PROGRESS ON THE WIDA.

NOT BY MUCH, BUT WE'RE STILL AHEAD OF THE GAME THERE.

I KNOW WE TALK A LOT ABOUT ATTENDANCE AND THE GOOD, THE BRIGHT SPOT IS OUR ATTENDANCE IS CONTINUING TO IMPROVE.

WE'RE JUST UNDER 84% FOR REGULAR ATTENDANCE AND I'M ACTUALLY PRETTY IMPRESSED WITH OUR OTHER STUDENT GROUPS.

THEY'RE 76, 74 AND 70% RESPECTIVELY. STILL SHORT OF OUR GOAL.

AND SO WE HAVE A LITTLE ROOM TO GROW TO HIT THAT 87%.

AND REALLY, I THINK THIS YEAR PUTTING SOME EMPHASIS AROUND TRUANCY AND REACHING, REACHING OUT TO OUR FAMILIES WE HAVE SOME GOOD, GOOD STUFF THAT THAT'S DOING THAT WORK. IT'S NOT EASY.

IT'S NOT EASY, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY DOABLE IN CAMAS BECAUSE IT'S A RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT ARE HABITUALLY ABSENT.

NINTH GRADE ON TRACK, AS YOU KNOW, WE PUT A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON THAT WORK STARTING LAST YEAR.

AND I THINK IT'S, IT'S, IT'S SHOWING IT'S PAYING DIVIDENDS.

SO JUST ABOUT 81% OF OUR NINTH GRADERS ARE ON TRACK TO GRADUATE.

OUR GOAL WILL BE 84% BY 27-28. AND THEN LASTLY, DUAL CREDIT.

I KNOW DEREK AND MANY OF OUR STAFF ARE WORKING HARD TO PROVIDE MORE AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR KIDS TO GET DUAL CREDIT COLLEGE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL. REALLY PUSHING OUR STUDENTS TOWARDS THAT.

SO WE'RE AT 65% ALMOST. AND OUR GOAL IS TO BE AT 69% BY THE END OF THE 2027-28 SCHOOL YEAR.

AND THEN LASTLY, ON THIS PAGE, GRADUATION RATE, OVERALL 91.5%.

AND FOR OUR FIVE YEAR STUDENTS, STUDENTS WHO TOOK AN EXTRA YEAR JUST UNDER 94%.

SO WE'RE FLIRTING WITH THAT 96, 97. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, THAT'S A TOUGH NUMBER.

THAT'S A BIG NUMBER TO GET TO, BUT IT'S DOABLE.

I REALLY DO BELIEVE IT'S DOABLE. EVERYONE HAS SHOWN PROGRESS IN THIS AREA.

ALL, ALL THREE OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. AND SO I CONTINUE, I CONTINUE TO HOPE THAT THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW IS FIVE YEARS.

SO IF KIDS DON'T GRADUATE IN JUNE, BUT THEY GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL, DOES THAT PUSH THEM INTO THE NEXT YEAR? THAT'S, THAT'S THERE ON THE NEXT COHORT. YEP.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN MOVING ON TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

I THINK CONNIE ASKED TO SEE YEAR TO YEAR. SO HOPEFULLY THIS GETS YOU WHAT YOU WANT.

AGAIN, LOOKING YEAR TO YEAR. COREY MENTIONED THE DROP OFF IT.

IT'S, IT'S INCREMENTALLY GETTING LESS AND LESS AND IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY HARD TO HIT THAT THAT 79 TARGET IF WE KEEP GOING IN THAT TRAJECTORY.

SO I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE SUGGESTIONS AND WE'LL LOOK INTO THOSE.

AS FAR AS ASSESSMENT, YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF UP AND DOWN, BUT OVERALL, WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION STARTING AT 74. WE'RE CLOSE TO 76% NOW, STILL ABOUT 3% LOWER THAN WHERE WE NEED TO BE.

SO WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF GROWTH THERE.

MATH. AGAIN, IT'S SO IMPRESSIVE TO SEE THAT GROWTH.

I WILL, I WILL WAGER THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT IN A LOT OF DISTRICTS RIGHT NOW.

SO AGAIN MAJOR KUDOS ESPECIALLY TO OUR MATH INSTRUCTORS.

SCIENCE AGAIN REALLY, REALLY DOING WELL THERE.

AGAIN, EXCEEDING OUR STANDARD OR OUR TARGET FROM 70% JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO NOW ALMOST 79%.

PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. AGAIN, THE GROWTH THAT, THAT GROWTH OF OUR STUDENTS IS, IS AN AREA OF CONCERN THAT WE'RE SEEING A DROP OFF THERE.

SO AGAIN, MORE WORK TO BE DONE AND TRYING TO GET STUDENTS FROM, YOU KNOW, A TO Z IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

ARE WE, I ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED THAT. I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY EDGING CLOSE TO BEATING OUR AND EXCEEDING OUR,

[00:50:03]

WE HAD A LITTLE DROP OFF LAST YEAR AND THEN 83.6.

SO AGAIN, ANOTHER LITTLE BOOST AND THEN NINTH GRADE ON TRACK.

IT'S THE HIGHEST WE'VE HAD SINCE 23-24 AT OVER ALMOST 81% DUAL CREDIT.

I DIDN'T HIGHLIGHT THAT ONE JUST BECAUSE WE'RE STILL PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY AWAY FROM OUR TARGET.

BUT I HAVE A GOOD FEELING THAT WE CAN GET THAT WE CAN GET THERE.

AND THEN I MENTIONED GRADUATION RATE. YOU COULD SEE OVER TIME, WE HAD A REALLY NICE BOOST IN 23-24 AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF A DROP OFF, BUT STILL HOVERING AROUND THAT 92% MARK. SO WAS SO THE LETTERS TRAINING THAT ALL OUR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS WENT TO, THAT WAS LITERACY, RIGHT? THAT'S LITERACY. IS THERE ANY CORRELATION TO SEEING OUR TEACHERS TRAINED IN THAT AND, YOU KNOW, SEEING THE SCORES GO. I MEAN, THEY'RE NOT DRAMATIC, BUT COMPARED TO PRIOR TO THAT, ARE WE SEEING THOSE KIDS GO THROUGH WITH. WE ARE CONNIE.

AND I'LL TELL YOU, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ALL TEACHERS, BUT THOSE I HAVE SPOKEN TO REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THE TRAINING.

YOU CAN SEE IT WHEN YOU ENTER THE SCHOOLS ON SITE VISITS.

YOU CAN SEE IT IN ACTION. AND SO YEAH, WE'VE, WE'VE SEEN A TREMENDOUS SPIKE SINCE, SINCE BRINGING ON LETTERS.

AND CAN WE SEE LIKE, CAN YOU SEE IT IN THE ASSESSMENT NUMBERS, LIKE GOING BACK HISTORICALLY? LIKE, CAN YOU SEE THAT LIKE, OH, HERE'S WHERE THAT STARTED TO HAVE AN IMPACT? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY DIG INTO THAT AND LOOK AT ACTUAL INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS.

THAT'S AWESOME. YEAH. OKAY.

YEAH. AWESOME. YEAH. RIGHT. BECAUSE LIKE, THESE MIGHT NOT SHOW THAT INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENT, BUT I KNOW WE'VE INVESTED A LOT IN, IN THAT.

AND I'M SURE IT'S, I MEAN, WE HEAR JUST NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS ABOUT IT.

AND I'M SURE IT'S EMBEDDED IN HERE. AND CONNIE, I WOULD PROBABLY VENTURE TO SAY THAT IT'S ALSO HAD AN IMPACT, POSITIVE IMPACT IN OUR MATH SCORES BECAUSE THAT COMPREHENSION, THE, THE, YOU KNOW, READING SKILLS, THE DECODING REALLY AND SCIENCE. EXACTLY. EXCELLENT.

SO YEAH, WE CAN, WE CAN DIG INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE TOO.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GET, LIKE I SAID, TOO FAR AHEAD OF THE TEAM AND OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR TEACHERS YET.

BUT ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THIS? I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING ME DO THIS BECAUSE THIS WAS GOOD FOR ME TO SEE TOO.

JOHN, CAN YOU, CAN YOU REMIND ME REALLY QUICK? I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD KNOW THIS, SO MAYBE THIS IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING. FOR THE STUDENT GROWTH, THE STUDENT GROWTH CATEGORY, HOW DO THEY DEFINE STUDENT GROWTH? IS IT FROM LIKE BEGINNING OF YEAR TO END OF YEAR THEY'RE SHOWING GROWTH OR IS IT FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT? IT'S TYPICALLY ACROSS THE OVER THE, OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.

OKAY.[INAUDIBLE] OKAY.

OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. AND THERE'S A DEFINITION COREY.

IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, I BELIEVE. AND IF NOT, IT'S ON THE REPORT CARD AND I CAN BRING THAT UP FOR YOU.

BUT YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD EXPLANATION. I CAN LOOK AT STRATEGIC PLAN. THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU. YEP. ANYTHING ELSE HERE? LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE START OUT, OUR SCORES ARE FAIRLY HIGH.

I IMAGINE THAT STUDENT GROWTH GETS MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT.

THAT'S THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

I MEAN, IT'S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE IN SOME WAYS, BUT IT'S JUST GOING TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO HIT THAT TARGET.

SO AND IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT AFTER THIS YEAR, MAYBE WE REVISIT SOME OF OUR TARGETS.

I DON'T WANT TO LIKE LOWER THE BAR NECESSARILY.

BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MANAGE OUR EXPECTATIONS AS WELL.

SO WE CAN LOOK, WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK AFTER THE 27-28 YEARS WHEN WE'LL ACTUALLY REPRINT AND RE REVAMP OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

BUT I WOULD SAY STATUS QUO WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AS OF NOW, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO, I THINK I TOLD YOU IN BRIEFINGS IS WE'LL HAVE AN INSERT.

SO AS WE CONTINUE TO HAND THOSE STRATEGIC PLANS OUT, THERE'LL BE AN INSERT WITH A WITH A QR CODE.

SO THAT WAY YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE DIGITAL COPY OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATED.

IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU GUYS, I'D RATHER NOT REPRINT YET.

OKAY. JUST A SMALLER QUESTION BECAUSE I JUST WENT TO, I JUST WENT TO OUR WEBSITE AND THE PROFILE OF A GRADUATE IS REALLY CLEAR ON THE FRONT OF THE, ON THE FRONT OF THE WEBSITE, WHICH IS GREAT.

STRATEGIC PLAN SEEMS TO BE BURIED UNDER THE ABOUT CSD AND THEN UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENT TAB.

I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT JUST A LITTLE EASIER TO GET, LIKE IN A MORE KIND OF INTUITIVE PLACE TO GET TO IT.

[00:55:03]

AND WE KNOW WE'RE, WE'RE. WE'RE, WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

WELL, WE'RE NOT THERE YET, SO WE'LL KEEP WORKING ON THAT.

YEAH, EXACTLY. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE ON DATA? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JUST WENT OUT LAST WEEK TO OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES.

THIS IS AN UPDATE FROM REALLY IT CAME OUT OF THE SBL WORK GROUP LAST YEAR.

A LOT OF YOU KNOW, INPUT AROUND POTENTIALLY TRANSLATING GRADES INTO FROM RUBRIC TO LETTER GRADES.

SO WE HEARD IT LOUD AND CLEAR. I KNOW IT'S NOT THE EXACT ANSWER OR RESPONSE THAT EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR.

BUT WE'RE STILL MOVING FORWARD WITH STANDARDS BASED GRADING IN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PBL HAS BEEN DOING SINCE ITS INCEPTION.

AND SO THEY WERE REALLY HELPFUL. WE ALSO LOOKED AT SOME OTHER DISTRICTS AND WORKED WITH OUR, OUR WORK GROUP TO DESIGN THIS. SO THIS IS, THIS IS OUR, I WOULDN'T SAY A QUICK WIN, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY, I THINK, A WIN MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO HELP FAMILIES, STAFF AND EVEN STUDENTS WHO MAY STILL NEED SOME ASSISTANCE WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN. SO THIS WENT OUT. I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD DOCUMENT.

IT KIND OF SHOWS WHAT THE, THE TRANSLATION WILL BE AT THE END OF THE GRADING PERIOD.

IS THAT WORK AND CUMULATIVE? IS IT WORKING. HOW.

IS THAT AS UGLY? YEAH. [INAUDIBLE] YEAH. YEAH.[INAUDIBLE] OKAY.[INAUDIBLE] RIGHT. [INAUDIBLE]. OKAY. AWESOME. THANKS. ALL RIGHT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU. AND AS WE MOVE ALONG, I'LL KEEP UPDATING.

YOU SEE HOW THE FIRST REPORT CARD TURNS OUT. THIS, THE STUDENTS MENTIONED THIS EARLIER.

THIS IS THIS IS PRETTY AWESOME. THERE WAS A 2000 STUDENTS THAT SHOWED UP THERE, BUT I THOUGHT THE TRIBUTE TO OUR 9/11 FIRST RESPONDERS WAS, WAS REALLY THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE EVENING, BUT REALLY COOL SETUP.

IT TOOK A LOT OF TIME. I DON'T THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OUR VOLLEYBALL TEAMS WANT TO DO WEEKLY.

BUT IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO REALLY SHOW DOC HARRIS OFF AND USE USE IT FOR OTHER SPORTS, WHICH IS SO COOL.

EVERYBODY THINKS ABOUT FOOTBALL, BUT WE FORGET SOCCER AND VOLLEYBALL AND TRACK AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS HAPPEN THERE.

SO I JUST WANTED TO SHOOT THAT PICTURE TO YOU. IT'S PROBABLY THE BIGGEST CROWD WE'VE HAD FOR A VOLLEYBALL GAME IN A LONG TIME. SO YEAH.

I WOULD HAVE, I COULD HAVE PAID MORE FOR IT. I SAID IT WASN'T IT WASN'T THE HEALTHIEST.

THEY HAD THE GIANT CANS OF SODA. I TRIED TO GET A PICTURE FOR YOU.

BUT THEY WERE TALLBOYS OF SODA. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD GET A SPRITE AND A TALLBOY SIZE IF ANYBODY WAS THERE.

IT WAS THE WEIRDEST THING TO SEE, BUT YOU COULD FIND A TALLBOY IN ANYTHING THAT WAS THERE.

THE SUN WAS SETTING. IT WAS JUST IT WAS IT WAS A REALLY SPECIAL NIGHT FOR THE STUDENTS, FOR THE ATHLETES IN PARTICULAR, FOR THE COMMUNITY. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. EVERYONE THAT PUT THAT ON.

YEAH, COACH FORD AND HER TEAM WAS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.

YEAH. HOW MUCH DO WE CHARGE OUR FAMILIES TO GET INTO THESE? YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT THAT ON ANOTHER.

YEAH. THAT WAS THAT'S. YEAH. YEAH. REALLY? THEY SAY THAT LIKE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO GET INTO ANY.

I THINK IT'S A, I THINK LIKE INTO A FRESHMAN FOOTBALL GAME AT CARDIN.

IT'S 12 BUCKS. OKAY. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE A LOT.

GO SEE YOUR KID PLAY. I DON'T KNOW. SO WE HAVE TO CHARGE THAT? THOSE ARE SET. I THINK, FOR PLAYOFFS, PLAYOFFS ESPECIALLY.

YEAH. BUT YEAH I DON'T KNOW. YEAH. DO WE HAVE YOU GUYS KNOW DO WE HAVE ANY SAY IN THOSE TICKET PRICES? [INAUDIBLE] I'VE SEEN THE SAME PRICES. OH REALLY? OKAY. OKAY. HAVING THE HARD HITTING QUESTIONS.

SORRY. I JUST HAD SOME PEOPLE ASK ME. THEY'RE LIKE.

AND SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE, OH, DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THAT FRESHMAN FOOTBALL GAME? 12 BUCKS? NO THANKS. AND THEY DIDN'T GO. YEAH, THEY MIGHT LIVE IN MY HOUSE. BUT YEAH, BY HALFTIME NOBODY'S USUALLY CHARGING YOU.

BUT AT OTHER PLACES THEY'RE THERE THE FULL TIME.

YEAH. OH, OKAY. SO I WATCH FROM THE FENCE SOMETIMES.

I'M JUST KIDDING. UNTIL HALFTIME THEN. AND THEN ROLL ON IN.

[01:00:03]

AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY OUT THERE WHO HAD AN IMPACT ON GETTING THIS GOING.

TENNIS CENTER UPDATE. THINGS ARE MOVING PRETTY WELL.

CLINTON, CLINTON, HIS TEAM IS PROBABLY HAVING NIGHTMARES.

RANDY. THERE HE IS. BUT WE'RE MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

RIGHT, FELLAS? AGAIN, THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH USTA 50/50, SPLIT ON ALL DOLLARS RAISED.

WE'RE EXCITED TO HEAR FROM FROM USTA BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, THE US OPEN ENDED.

SO I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONVERSATIONS OUT IN FLUSHING MEADOWS ABOUT THAT.

BUT ALSO THERE'S GOING TO BE AN EVENT. DOREEN DO YOU REMEMBER THE DATE FOR THE DONATION EVENT? MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. BUT WE ARE VERY LUCKY THAT PATRICIA NIRENBERG IS THE CHAIR OF THAT DONATION FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE.

AND SO WE'RE EXPECTING TO HAVE SOME GREAT, GREAT PEOPLE OUT AT THIS.

IT'S GOING TO BE AT THE NORTH COMMON SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE PROGRESS.

AND REALLY SHE'S TAKING IT ON. SHE'S DOING THE INVITES.

OBVIOUSLY A VERY, VERY PRESTIGIOUS NAME IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SO THE FACT THAT SHE'S KIND OF OVERSEEING THIS FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY.

WE'RE REALLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER AND HER AND HER HUSBAND ALSO.

AND SO WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER NUMBER FOR YOU PROBABLY IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO ON WHAT'S COMING IN AND WHAT'S NOT.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY HARD NUMBERS YET, BUT WE HAVE SOME IDEAS AND IT'S LOOKING PRETTY GOOD AS FAR AS THE CONSTRUCTION GOES.

I KNOW THE TEAM. RANDY CLINTON AND THE TEAM CONTINUE TO HAVE THEIR WEEKLY MEETINGS WITH USTA AND THE CONTRACTORS AND THE AND THE GC AND EVERYBODY GOING, WELL, OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE THE BUBBLE UP ON TIME, MAYBE JUST A LITTLE BIT DELAYED.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY RE RE SURFACE AND CURATE THOSE COURTS EVEN UNDER THE BUBBLE.

IT WASN'T THE NUMBER ONE CHOICE, BUT WITH SOME OF THE DELAYS THAT HAPPENED, THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY CHOICE NOW.

AND SO CLINTON WAS TELLING ME THEY'LL BRING IN SOME HEATERS AND THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT RESURFACING GOES SMOOTHLY.

THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RESURFACE THEM IN YEARS TO COME UNDER THE BUBBLE ANYWAY.

THERE'S JUST ORIGINALLY THEY WOULD HAVE LIKED TO USE THE SUNLIGHT, BUT YOU LOOK OUTSIDE.

YEAH. TOUGH. WELL, MAYBE EARLIER TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD.

YES. OCTOBER 22ND, 5 P.M.. IS EVERYBODY KIND OF INVITED OR IS THAT INVITE ONLY? OKAY. OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. BUT IF YOU WANT TO CALENDAR THAT 5 P.M.

NORTH COMMONS, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD, GOOD TIME TO JUST MEET SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROJECT.

AND THEN WITH, YOU KNOW, IF ALL HOPE ALIVE WILL BE OPENING IN THE SPRING FOR THE NEXT TENNIS SEASON.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S THE UPDATE. YOU'RE WELCOME TO GO OUT THERE AND CHECK IT OUT ANYTIME.

IT'S KIND OF A COOL THING TO SEE. JUST WEAR YOUR HARD HAT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF CONCRETE AND CEMENT GOING ON OUT THERE.

OKAY. THIS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER. YOU SEE AMELIA, SHE WAS ONE OF OUR PARENTS, ONE OF OUR INAUGURAL MEMBERS OF LAC. AND I'M MISSING BOB ALREADY. BOB WAS AN AWESOME MEMBER, BUT THIS WAS FROM A YEAR AGO OR SO.

BUT ANYWAY, AMELIA AND GWEN TOUSSAINT ARE LEADING THE WAY FOR THIS CANDIDATE FORUM.

WE'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, AND SO FAR WE HAVE THE HEAVY HITTERS COME IN, SO IT SHOULD BE A GOOD NIGHT.

A LOT OF TIGHT RACES, AS YOU KNOW. SO I THINK THE CANDIDATES ARE SMART TO GET OUT THERE, EVEN ON SMALLER EVENTS AND REALLY JUST SHARE.

THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB ORGANIZING. COREY'S BEEN REALLY HELPFUL. I APPRECIATE COREY JUMPING ON SOME OF THE CALLS AND HELPING WITH KIND OF THE FORMATTING, BUT I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS. IT SHOULD BE GOOD.

NO, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, I THINK YOU AND I HAVE BEEN ON A COUPLE OF CALLS AND WE'VE DONE VERY LITTLE.

WE'RE JUST THERE TO MAYBE ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS OR, YOU KNOW, TELL THEM WHO TO CONTACT.

EXACTLY. GWEN AND AMELIA HAVE DONE AMAZING WORK ON THIS, SO I'M REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF HIM.

ME TOO. AND THEY'LL HAVE STUDENTS THERE TO HELP MODERATE AND ASK QUESTIONS.

AND IT SHOULD BE A GREAT EVENT. ROTARY, I JUST WANTED TO THANK ROTARY OFFICIALLY FOR ANOTHER YEARLY DONATION TO BOTH WASHOUGAL AND CAMAS. THE MONEY GOES TO OUR PRINCIPALS CHECKBOOK.

SO THAT PROVIDES OUR PRINCIPALS WITH ANOTHER LINE ITEM TO, TO USE FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND THEIR BUILDINGS.

I WANT TO SAY IT WAS A $1,500 CHECK TO EACH. I THOUGHT WE SHOULD HAVE GOT A LITTLE MORE SINCE WE'RE A LITTLE BIGGER.

BUT YOU KNOW, I'M A ROTARIAN. I COULD SAY THAT.

ANYHOW, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO ROTARY. THEY'RE AMAZING PARTNERS. THIS IS A REALLY COOL OPPORTUNITY.

I WAS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A GROUP CALLED THINKERING.

IT'S A NATIONWIDE THINK TANK FOR EDUCATORS. AND WE'VE HAD TWO TEACHERS OR WE'VE SPONSORED THEIR TUITION TO BE A PART OF THIS.

SO WE HAVE KOBIE MOORE FROM PBL, WHO'S AN ART TEACHER AND SHE'S NOW BEEN IN SHE'S WITH US IN A COHORT LAST YEAR AND SHE WAS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH ART

[01:05:02]

AND THEN THEY HELP EACH OTHER WITH THOSE PROJECTS. SO IT'S KIND OF THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX, GETTING OUT OF THEIR FOURTH WALL OF THEIR CLASSROOM AND WORKING CLOSELY WITH EDUCATORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND IT'S ONLY A $450 TUITION FOR A WHOLE, I THINK IT'S LIKE TEN WEEKS.

AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO COVER THAT FOR BOTH KOBE AND MEISHA.

MEISHA IS AN SLP AND SO WE ARE, WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH HER AS WELL IN THIS.

AND SHE'S GOING TO ENTER THE OCTOBER COHORT. SO I JUST WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THEM BECAUSE THIS IS LIKE A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE FOR PEOPLE TO KIND OF SHARE PRACTICES WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE NEVER MET AND BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.

SO SHOUT OUT TO KOBIE AND MEISHA FOR TAKING THE PLUNGE TO GO OUTSIDE THE BOX A LITTLE BIT.

AND THEN JUST A COUPLE PICTURES OUT AND ABOUT. I HAVE TO GIVE PROPS TO MY BUFFALO BILLS FAN I RAN INTO AT LIBERTY.

I WAS SO EXCITED. I THINK I WAS MORE EXCITED THAT HE WAS.

HE'S LIKE, WHO IS THIS GUY GRABBING ME FOR A PICTURE? AND THEN THE MIDDLE PICTURE THIS, THIS IS A PICTURE FROM HELEN BAYLOR.

THIS TEACHER RUNS A MATH RELATED FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, I SHOWED UP THERE. THEY HAD A DRAFT AND THEY GET LIKE 200 FAKE DOLLARS AND THEN THEY BASICALLY WORK ON PROBABILITY ALL YEAR LONG.

SO THE FIRST HALF OF THEIR MEETING IS PROBABILITY.

THE SECOND HALF IS ANALYZING THE GAMES AND LOOKING AT THE PROBABILITY OF THE OUTCOMES OF THE GAMES.

AND IT'S PRETTY, PRETTY NEAT. WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS IS MANY OF THESE STUDENTS DON'T EVEN ATTEND BAYLOR.

THEY TAKE THE SHUTTLE OVER TO J.W.R AND THEN WALK OVER TO BAYLOR TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS.

SO I WOULD SAY ONLY ABOUT A HANDFUL OF THOSE KIDS ARE BAYLOR STUDENTS.

SO THERE IT IS. IT'S AFTER SCHOOL. HE. AND THEY EVEN RUN IT ON EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAYS.

SO THE KIDS, THE KIDS HAVE SOMETHING FUN TO DO.

THERE'S GIRLS IN THERE. THERE'S A LOT MORE GIRLS THAN. THERE'S MORE GIRLS IN THERE THAN BOYS.

MY DAUGHTER ASKED THE SAME THING, SO NOW SHE WANTS TO BE A PART OF IT.

SO SHE'S LIKE, I'M DRAFTING. I SAW A THING ONLINE WHERE THERE'S THIS ELEMENTARY TEACHER IN FLORIDA WHO'S HAVING ALL HER KIDS, LIKE ADOPTED OR PICKED ONE NFL TEAM. AND THEN THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GEOGRAPHY OF WHERE THEY ARE AND THE MASK AND LIKE SHE'S INTEGRATING IT INTO HER WHOLE CURRICULUM. AND THEY WROTE LETTERS TO THE TEAM AND NOW THEY'RE LIKE OPENING UP BOXES THAT THE TEAM'S SENDING THEM STUFF.

AND I'M LIKE, HOW, HOW? WHAT A FUN WAY TO MAKE LEARNING RELEVANT, YOU KNOW, IN SO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS.

AND THIS IS ACTUALLY A, THIS IS ACTUALLY A SET CURRICULUM AS WELL.

SO AND THIS IS MR. REDLAND, BY THE WAY, HE DIDN'T JUST INVENT THIS ON HIS OWN, BUT HE'S DONE IT FOR I THINK THREE YEARS NOW.

SO WE HIGHLIGHTED HIM IN FIVE GOOD THINGS I THINK THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND YEAH, I TRY TO GET OVER THERE AS MUCH AS I CAN JUST TO CHECK IN.

AND I, I DIDN'T SEE ANY JOSH ALLEN JERSEYS IN THE PICTURE OF THE KID.

SO I SAID, THE WINNER GETS A JOSH ALLEN JERSEY.

SO WE HAVE TO GET SOME MORE BILLS FANS UP IN THE PNW.

AND THEN THE FAR RIGHT SIDE. THAT'S OUR SAC. THEY HAD THEIR FIRST MEETING.

IT WAS REALLY A GET TO KNOW YOU MEETING REALLY, REALLY GOOD ENERGY IN THERE, WOULDN'T YOU SAY? SHAUNA. SO GREAT KIDS AS USUAL. AND THEY'LL BE DOING SOME AWESOME WORK AND WANTING TO CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH YOU.

AND THAT'S IT. THERE'S BENI. ALL RIGHT. GOOD JOB.

OKAY, I KNOW WE, 1400 THE MEETINGS CONDUCT ORDER OF BUSINESS AND QUORUM.

WE HAD SOME DISCUSSION AT WORKSHOP ABOUT IT. WE RESOLVED ALL OF THAT.

IT WAS JUST IT'S SO MUCH IN THERE AND THAT'S LINED OUT AND THEN NEW CONTENT.

BUT I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT. I THINK WE PULLED THAT BEFORE TO JUST MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE PUBLIC REALIZE WE'RE NOT HAVING TWO, LIKE REGULAR, LIKE REGULAR MEETINGS. WE'RE STILL HAVING A WORKSHOP STYLE MEETING AND A REGULAR MEETING, ALTHOUGH AT WORKSHOP MEETINGS, WE CAN HAVE THINGS THAT WE VOTE ON, BUT OUR INTENTION IS TO TYPICALLY NOT.

IT WILL BE NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE, BUT I STILL LIKE THAT IT'S CLEAR BOTH MEETINGS ARE TO BE HERE RECORDED.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR TRANSPARENCY THAT IT'S ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.

[01:10:01]

IF IF IF THE JUDGMENT IS WE DEFINITELY NEED TO HAVE THAT AT A WORKSHOP, LIKE AN ACTION ITEM, WE'LL DO IT, BUT WE WON'T JUST PUT IT ON THERE WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH THE BOARD BECAUSE WE WANT TO HONOR THAT POLICY, BUT ALSO THE IDEA OF THE WORKSHOP. ANYBODY WANT TO? I'LL MAKE A MOTION. I MOVE TO APPROVE POLICIES 1400 3115, 3124, 3242, 3418, 5004 AND 6512 FOR FIRST READING. I SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY TRACEY, SECONDED BY BAMINI.

[10. SYSTEMS/PATHWAYS: Policies for Second Reading & Adoption ]

ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS ON THIS PLETHORA OF POLICIES? I THINK ALL OF THESE CAME FROM THE JULY 2026 POLICY AND LEGAL NEWS.

THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH STANDARD. WE'VE MADE NO ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE STANDARD LANGUAGE, SO THEY'RE PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE.

SO LET'S SEE. I WILL MOVE. SORRY. I'M JUST LIKE CONNIE HERE.

DON'T EVEN SAY THAT OUT LOUD. AWESOME. OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION CARRIES. ALL CONTRACTS. OH, THIS PHASE THREE ROOF REPLACEMENT. IS THIS A FINAL PHASE? THAT HAS BEEN QUITE A JOURNEY.

PHASE BY PHASE THREE YEARS. YEAH. PART OF A ROOF BY PART OF THE ROOF ONE TIME.

IT IS A VERY BIG ROOF. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? ALL RIGHT. I MOVE FOR FINAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE CAMPUS HIGH SCHOOL PHASE THREE ROOF REPLACEMENT PROJECT, WHICH IS NOW COMPLETE. THERE SHOULD BE A GAVEL, KIND OF ROOF GAVEL, BUT NOT A REAL GAVEL.

WE NEED, LIKE A CONFETTI GUN. YES. JUST DO THAT.

JUST GO LIKE THAT WHEN WE WHEN WE VOTE. I'LL SECOND.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY MATTHEW.

[01:15:02]

ALL RIGHT. CONTRACTS FOR APPROVAL. CONTRACT. CALL EARS ON THAT.

[12. CONTRACTS FOR APPROVAL ]

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. MATTHEW, THIS WILL BE FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE AREA BY SKY RIDGE.

THE BUILDING ITSELF, THE UL BUILDING ITSELF, THE PARKING, ALL OF THE LAND IN BETWEEN.

AND THEN OF COURSE, THE AREA THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT QUITE A BIT FROM LAKE AND LEDBETTER, THAT 9 OR 10 ACRES.

SO THE WHOLE THING. AND THE APPRAISER WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR BROKER SO THAT WE MAKE SURE THAT, THAT EVERYTHING, ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEED IS, IS TAKEN CARE OF.

OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. PER RCW28.335.120. I MOVE TO APPROVE THE APPRAISAL CONTRACT TO BE WITH COLLIERS IN THE AMOUNT OF $4,900, AS PRESENTED, TO BE PAID FROM CAPITAL FUNDS. I'LL.

SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY SECONDED BY TRACEY.

ANY DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS? I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY JUST JUST KIND OF TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE JUST TO BE ON THE RECORD WITH WHAT WITH WHAT EXACTLY THIS IS. YEAH.

YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT ONE? SURE. SO WE HAVE BEEN EXPLORING FOR, FOR A FEW YEARS NOW.

WHAT, HOW BEST TO USE THAT PROPERTY. AND SO IN CAPITAL FACILITIES AND THEN WITHIN THE BOARD AND AMONGST THE COMMUNITY THERE HAS BEEN SOME UNSOLICITED INTEREST IN THAT AND PARTS OF THAT PROPERTY, NOT THE BUILDING BUT MOSTLY AROUND THE LAND.

SO WE REALLY NEED TO EXPLORE THAT MORE. NOW THAT WE'RE SEEING SOME INTEREST AND HEARING SOME INTEREST AND SO THE PLAN RIGHT NOW IS TO RECONVENE WITH CAPITAL FACILITIES COMMITTEE THIS MONTH. REALLY GET SOME GOOD INFORMATION FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERTS IN THIS FIELD ALONGSIDE OF OUR BROKER.

AND TO SEE EXACTLY IF THESE OFFERS ARE SUSTAINABLE, IF THEY'RE OFFERS THAT OUR BOARD AND OUR DISTRICT, IT'S GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY AND OUR DISTRICT.

AND THEN ONCE WE HAVE THE APPRAISAL, WE'LL KIND OF HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION SO WE CAN WORK BETTER WITH THESE UNSOLICITED OFFERS.

AND THEN IF THE BOARD IS INTERESTED, WE COULD THEN CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO SURPLUS ALL OR SOME OF THAT PROPERTY.

AND THEN SEE WHAT THE MARKET REALLY IS OFFERING.

SO I WOULD PROBABLY SAY WE'RE STILL ABOUT A MONTH AWAY BEFORE WE HAVE SOME GOOD IDEAS ON WHAT IT'S WORTH, THE ENTIRE THING. AND THEN WHAT KIND OF INTEREST IS OUT THERE.

DOES THAT HELP? YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR IN THIS, THAT ALL WE'RE DOING IS JUST WE'RE JUST GETTING INFORMATION. IT'S AN INFORMATION GATHERING, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, AS WE LOOK AT ALL THE DIFFERENT ASSETS IN OUR DISTRICT, JUST KIND OF UNDERSTANDING THAT ONE IN SPECIFIC WHAT WE HAVE THERE.

AND ALSO GIVEN OUR ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS, YOU KNOW, WILL WE NEED A COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL IN THE NEXT 10 TO 20 YEARS ON THE WEST SIDE? AND IF WE DO, IS THAT THE RIGHT PLACE? IS THAT THE RIGHT A LOT OF WORK THAT I THINK THE CAPITAL FACILITIES COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE DOING WITH OUR EXPERTS THAT WE HAVE ON THAT COMMITTEE ALSO IS LIKE LOOKING AT ALL OF OUR LAND BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT. AND IS IT ALL IN THE RIGHT PLACE? AND IS THERE SOME OTHER PLACE WE SHOULD BE LOOKING? AND SO I THINK THIS JUST KIND OF OPENS THE DOOR FOR US TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS.

AND EVEN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SURPLUS LAND, THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN WE'RE DOING ANYTHING WITH IT.

IT JUST GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT IT IS ALL THAT WE'RE DOING.

AND I THINK THE. OH, I'M SORRY, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, AND AGAIN, ALL WE'RE DOING TONIGHT IS JUST LOOKING AT JUST APPROVING AN APPRAISER TO GO AND TELL US WHAT WE'VE GOT. EXACTLY. I THINK, I THINK FOR, FOR, FOR US, THE BUILDING HAS BECOME, IT'S SUCH A FOCAL POINT THAT THIS LAND GETS A LOT MORE DIALOG AND CONVERSATION THAN SOME OF THE PROPERTY THAT THE DISTRICT OWNS THAT'S VACANT, RIGHT? SO THIS IS ALWAYS KIND OF AT THE FOREFRONT.

BUT I THINK LIKE EVEN FROM THE, THE, YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST STARTED HERE UNTIL NOW, THE CONVERSATION AROUND A COMPREHENSIVE, A SECOND COMPREHENSIVE HIGH SCHOOL IS REALLY DIED OUT LOOKING AT THOSE NUMBERS, BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO CUT OFF OUR NOSE TO SPITE OUR FACE.

RIGHT. AND SO THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY. IT'S IN THE HEART OF CAMAS.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE VERY, VERY CAREFUL, METHODICAL ABOUT WHAT WE DO WITH IT.

AND COREY, YOU SAID IT BEST, I THINK LAST WEEK, WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANY KNEE JERK REACTIONS JUST BECAUSE THE MARKET'S HOT.

RIGHT? WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE.

SO THIS IS THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY INTRICATE CAREFUL DECISION.

BUT I'M HAPPY TO LEAD IT AND EXCITED ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU. I WOULD ENTERTAIN A DID WE ALREADY THAT WAS OUR DISCUSSION.

OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. AYE. MOTION CARRIES.

ALL RIGHT. GEORGE ELEVATOR SERVICES CONTRACT.

[01:20:04]

THAT'LL TAKE YOU TO KNOW TOOLBAR. THIS WILL GET YOU.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS DOING. SO LIKE IF YOU CLICK ON THE ONE ABOVE IT, IT'LL TAKE YOU TO THE TIPPY TOP. SO THEN YOU GO TO THIS AND THEN YOU HAVE TO CLICK AND THEN SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM. OKAY. OKAY. JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HARD WORK ON THIS. YEAH, WE GOT A NEW SYSTEM, A FUN FEATURE OF OUR NEW SYSTEM.

THE ONLY COMMENT I'LL HAVE ON THE ELEVATOR SERVICES.

I HAD A FUN TIME RESEARCHING ABOUT WHAT A CATEGORY FIVE FULL LOAD TEST WAS.

IT'S A FIVE YEAR TEST. YOU HAVE TO DO EVERY FIVE YEARS AND IT'S IT'S PRETTY COMPLICATED.

SO THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THAT. YOU SHOULD SPEND SOME TIME ON.

IT IS PRETTY. WHENEVER YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU'RE LIKE, TELL ME WHAT A CATEGORY FIVE FULL LOAD TEST IS.

THERE'S A RESIDENT ENGINEER. I'M NOT AN ENGINEER.

I'M JUST CURIOUS WHEN I SEE SOMETHING. HE JUST.

HE STAYED AT A HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS LAST NIGHT. IT'S ABOUT AS EXCITING AS THE TRASH COMPACTOR WE DID LAST YEAR. YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET HIS RESUME.

IT LOOKS. NO, NO, NO, I JUST LIKE IT'S. YOU GOT.

WE NEED SAFE ELEVATORS. SO YEAH. AND NOW I KNOW HOW MANY ELEVATORS WE HAVE IN EVERY SCHOOL BECAUSE IT'S IN THE INVOICE.

SO IF WE EVER HAVE A QUESTION, WE KNOW WHERE TO GO.

YEAH. SO BECAUSE I DID MY BACKGROUND RESEARCH, I MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT WITH GES IN THE AMOUNT OF $53,366.40 AS PRESENTED TO BE PAID FROM CAPITAL FUNDS. I WILL SECOND THAT SINCE IT HAD SO MUCH RESEARCH.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S BEEN RESEARCHED AND MOVED BY MATTHEW, SECONDED BY BAMINI.

ANY DISCUSSION QUESTIONS, ANY DATA, ANY MORE DATA NEEDED.

ASK MATTHEW. IT'S NOT AS EXCITING AS THE HIGH SPEED PRINTERS OR COPIERS.

THE EDUCATORS LOVE THOSE COPIERS, BUT NO. BUT I'M SURE THEY'LL APPRECIATE THAT WE HAVE SAFE ELEVATORS.

AWESOME. ALL RIGHT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. MOTION CARRIES.

LET ME SCROLL BACK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE AGENDA AGAIN.

I DO BELIEVE I KNOW THERE'S NO CONTRACT FOR THE BAT REMOVAL.

THERE'S NO BAT APOCALYPSE STUFF. IS THAT GOING TO COME UP AT SOME POINT? IT WAS UNDER THE BOARD APPROVAL THRESHOLD.

SO. AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING BAT RELATED EXCEPT FOR.

WE'RE TRYING TO PUT THAT IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR.

MATTHEW KIND OF TRAUMATIZED. WHAT KIND OF TRAUMATIZED BY THAT? IT'S STILL TOO SOON. YEAH. TOO SOON. EVERYBODY'S DRESSING UP AS BATMAN.

BENI WILL BE OUR REPRESENTATIVE. THERE YOU GO.

HEY, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE WE HAD. MAYBE WE NEEDED A NEW MASCOT.

OH, BE CAREFUL WHAT WE WISH FOR. I KNOW. ALL RIGHT, WITH THAT, WE ARE ADJOURNED. BOOM! ALL RIGHT.
