for next time. Oh, I have a remote. I'm excited to read meet the reading interventionist teachers. You sit here. with the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We're going to start with a program review from Diane. Thank you for coming. Hello. Yes. All right. Well, I'll just kind of share what I did this year as my role in literacy coordinator. Um, so this was our first year really implementing the ReadAct. And so as you'll see a lot of my work really focused at the elementary because we were implementing phase one of the read act which was um K through three. So, um, yeah, we implemented the new, um, screening protocols that were put out by MD, which included like a gated approach, an extra dyslexia screener. Um, see there, oh, I, uh, created a literacy website um, that had resources for both teachers and parents, and we've shared that out with parents several times. Um, Monica and I are working on our local literacy plan, which is a lot more in-depth this year. The state is requiring a lot more information. Um and then I do as a literacy lead participate in monthly meetings um to stay up to date. I also have been training about 50 teachers in letters. Uh so we will be wrapping up the first half of that program. Oh the first half of that program in May. We have one more late start this year. Um, so I've been helping teachers with that as needed. And the teachers are all doing very well on their quizzes and things like that and in their participation. So I also received coaching on that as part of the read too. So um, which is nice for me to learn how to work with adults um, rather than just kids. I have also put out opportunities for modeling and coaching um, for teachers. So this again has mostly happened at the elementary just because of their familiarity with me I believe as well. But um so I've modeled a lot in first and second grade and some kindergarten. And then I've been offering for the elementary and the intermediate I've been calling them mini workshops just as a way to try to get a little more coaching in a way that teachers might be comfortable. Um so I had surveyed them and then I planned workshops based on the results of that survey. So, we've talked about straw groups or small groups, writing strong sentences, and decoding multi-selabic words. So far, um, yeah, a lot of work with data. So, I use the data from the fall to help first grade develop a um to strengthen their tier one phonics instruction. Um, it's kind of it's called like a walk to read method. So, their data was the lowest in their phonics. So, we really kind of looked at it and split it up to really target what they need. So, they were getting exactly what they needed in their tier one and in their tier two to help them accelerate faster. And um it'll be interesting, but so far from their progress monitoring, the growth has been very strong. Um other things like I provide teachers with readytouse resources. Um I have appointment slots that anyone can meet with me for any reason. Um to start providing the fidelity checks of the MTSS uh at the elementary. I did uh meetings with the teachers after the screening periods to help them. What are you going to do if you have a classwide intervention? Help them set up their progress monitoring groups if they haven't. Um sometimes it's just when do I fit it in? Things like that. So to really help teachers um oh I also have gone into classrooms to do different things like I did a dyslexia awareness in October intervention [Laughter] and I also did in April I offered to go into the elementary and the intermediate for national schwa day um and taught the kids about the schwa um and then again I was available to meet with parents at the elementary's reading night and just I participated in a lot of different grade level meetings to work with the different teams. Again, that was mostly at the elementary, but I did make my way to the intermediate and the high school a few times as well. Are you going to tell us what a schwah is? Do you need to know what awa? It's actually the most common vowel sound in the English language. Funny. Um, it is when a vowel says uh or I instead of its typical sound. So, like if you think of banana, the two a's that say uh that's a schwa. If any of your kids were in the elementary and um had me come in, then they maybe told you about it. I learned about the schwah. My kindergartener. There you go. It's been a long time since Cory's kids were in continuous learner here. There you go. Um yeah, and then work with assessments. Uh the elementary school had last spring started a new assessment plan to make it more efficient. So again, we just as we did it in the fall and winter made it even more streamlined. So we're we don't lose as much instructional time to gather this screening data. Um and then I've also made myself available to help teachers with these diagnostic assessments that we do to really target instruction. um and just administer these one-on-one assessments that take a while. So just less instructional time is lost. Again, like I said, looking at a lot of data. So I compiled fast data for each building after each screening period so that we can see which classrooms need to provide classroom interventions. And on that spreadsheet, I do link for the teachers what fast bridges classwide intervention is so that they have it right there. Um, same thing for the sabers. And then we're really looking I look to see if the kids who are showing up at risk on those assessments have an intervention in place, whether it is provided by the classroom teacher or an interventionist. Um, oh, like I said, I met with all those teachers. And then another thing I looked at this year, um, was the growth report so that we could see which students are projected to meet end of year benchmarks. You know, sometimes classroom teachers just don't have the time to analyze all of these different reports. So, I took the time to do that. And then, okay, I looked at whoever was projected not to meet end of year, made sure that they were being progress monitored. If they weren't, reached out to the teachers, helped them set it up and see um so that we could make sure that they were making growth. And um if they weren't, we could make adjustments or start an intervention to help them get where they needed to be. Uh I so I worked really closely with the interventionists. Um I met regularly especially with the dees and dis interventionists to look at their groups and um adjust as needed. I didn't work as closely with the one at the high school because she really does a good job already of analyzing her data and um knowing exactly what to do. Not that the others don't, but just she is very very data driven. Um, so again, it helped refine the assessment plan. And one thing that's new that we're looking at for the elementary school for next year that I'm working on developing right now is an intervention boot camp. So we we're pushing back our screening period next year. Just it has to be done within the first six weeks just so our little kindergarten and first graders aren't starting their very first full week of school going to a big scary room and being assessed. it will help us um see if they truly need extra intervention or if they were just really scared because it was the first week of school. So um so then our interventionists will spend September, those first couple weeks getting to know the kids a little bit in kindergarten, pushing in and just being an extra body in kindergarten or we're using the spring data um here to see who might need a little push before the um screening period in the fall. So if they didn't attend summer school for whatever reason or they didn't do as much over the summer, we can give them a little boost before we screen in the fall. Um so another component of my role was the MTSS. So I led the district MTSS meetings. Um and I attended each building's SST meetings where we uh the student success team. I also worked with um the team at DIS. They have quarterly uh MTSS meetings to look at data and again just make sure that the kids are in an intervention an appropriate intervention see what we need to change. Um I led our uh interventionists through uh compass program the effective tier 2 programming um through MDE so that we really uh looked at what interventions we have in place um and just making sure we're streamlining with our MTSS process. I developed the preschool MTSS handbook. Um, and this is something that will have to be ongoing because the state is not putting out their guidelines for it until next year. So, it will just be a work in progress. Um, another thing I did is I've sent out I intended this to be monthly, but sometimes it gets away. But I sent out several newsletters that had like literacy tidbits for teachers to implement and some MTSS um information really focusing on the tier one since it was going out to um general education. And then I've been on the team to implement the educ data warehouse. So that's what I've done this first year in this position. So any questions? A lot. Dan, can you just share with them? I know kind of what your background is, but what your background was coming into this so they understand like all the training you do not like that. Yeah. Uh, well, I taught first grade for 15 years. Um, and I'm just my son calls me a word nerd. I just love to learn. Um, I did letters training myself when it first came out by the state. Um, I've been Orton Gillingham trained. I have my master's in literacy curriculum and instruction. Um I just like to read a lot on my own about dyslexia. Um and just research based instruction I guess. Um so I do a lot of my own reading, a lot of my own um webinars and things like that to keep my learning. So it's just been a passion of mine um well my entire teaching career I guess. But so yeah, I've done a lot of training. Um, so and I love teaching teachers about it, too. So, yeah, I can tell you that uh about this time of the year, maybe a little earlier last school year, uh, when the ReadAct came into play, version 1.0, I don't know if there's going to be a 2.0 0 and maybe um I had conversations with my colleagues of districts this size similar were just freaking out about how are we going to get all our teachers trained? How are we going to do all this? And they look, man, what do you got? And I go, well, I got Diane. She's already trained. She's already uh certified to train teachers in letters. We made the decision to go with letters as being one of our that there were three options. Um we we uh the academic leadership team came to the conclusion that letters even though it was the most extensive training had the best results that we felt that our educators could get more tools in their tool belt and we were just so fortunate to just turn to Diane and say take it. Diane is heaven forbid she's going to go back in the classroom next year. We have Lindsay Westfall that's going to be the literacy to take over the reigns. Well, one nice thing is is Diane's going to continue year two of the readact training letters. So, she'll continue to do that work and um I just really appreciate all the work. I've gone in and just observed how she's interacting with those teachers and it's difficult to come out and teach your colleagues. It's not the easiest thing to do, especially when you're used to teaching first graders and you got to teach these adults on these all this stuff with the read act and the letters training. and Diane added immediately. So, and we're talking about teachers from the high school, the intermediate, and good portion of the elementary school, the ones and preschool. Yeah. And and preschool. So, a wide variety of a of a classroom, so to speak, an adult classroom, and just to watch the engagement there and the work that Diane's done. It's been great. So, other districts have had to go to the cooperatives and and outside trainers to to help with this. We already had an in-house trainer. So, it made great sense for us to tap Dian's expertise. That's why I asked you is just to point out the Orton Gillingham training itself is insane. Yeah. And an undertaking that is expensive and a lot of work and a lot of districts don't have someone like you and so super appreciated. Yeah. But I just miss teaching too much. So that's why I had to go back to the classroom. And that was a deal that Diane and I made. She said, "Well, does what does this mean? Does I do I ever get I go, listen, whenever you feel that you feel that that's your true passion and purpose and never going to allow anybody not to to go back into the classroom." So, we knew that she was going to made a great transition for us. Thank you. Very informative. Lots of work here. With that said, I would like to invite up Eddie Odal and Teresa Campbell to come forward to share some pretty exciting good news. You have good news. Take another shirt here since there's two of us. Hi, Heidi O'Donnell, talent development specialist uh for the district here. Uh Tracy Campbell, sixth grade language arts reading, advanced language arts reading in the history day program. You've come bearing amazing news. Um, we do a lot of things throughout the year, but one of our bigger things in curriculum for sixth and eighth grade advanced reading is history day. Um, and this year over 19,000 students across Minnesota alone, competed in National History Day under this year's themes of rights and responsibilities in history. Of those 19,000, 240 of those students moved on to the regional competition um around the state, different sites around the state. And from there, 1,030 students participated at the state competition this Sunday at the Minneapolis Convention Center. 45 of those were Delano students, which was the most we've ever brought to a state competition for history day ever. um that consisted consisted of 14 team projects and five individual projects. So competing in research paper, website, documentary, exhibit and performance categories. Of those 19 projects, three of them won topical cash prizes ranging from $100 to $250 sponsored by organizations from around our state. And 11 of those 19 projects moved on to the final rounds of competition with six of them of the individual or groups taking honorable mentions in their categories which is amazing. Eighth graders Emmy Bidle, Kora Boyak, and Maddie Nisley took home fifth place medals in the group website for their project on Ferman v. Georgia, a black-on-white case. So they had to create their own website together, do all the research, everything. Like it's from the ground up. Like there's nothing on that website. They have to literally do everything on it. So kind of how History Day works, the top two placements from each category qualify for the National History Day competition in Washington DC in June. Two years ago, we did have our first team go to nationals from Delano. It's like breaking the spell. This year, Delano is taking three projects to the National History Day stage. So, I mean, it's just it's never been done before in our district. So, three projects. We're still on a high. Yeah. Like, we're still coming off like very little sleep. It was a 12 plus hour day yesterday. Have a lot. Um, so eighth grader Alexa Huttery placed second in the individual website category for her project on the right to revolt common sensees impact on government earning her place in the national competition. Oliver Berg, who got there last two years ago, and Jacob Worth, their performance on the teletypewriter, the invention that gave a voice to the deaf, also earned these two eighth graders a second place finish and a spot at nationals. And for the first time in Delano history, we have a state championship team at the state competition. Um, also in the group, junior group performance, sixth graders Winston, Zack Laauo, and Joseph Schweer took home the first place in the for their performance in the Clean Water Act of 1972, the cleanest act with the dirtiest history. Um, so just a little thing about that, there's different categories in there like group, junior group performance, junior individual performance. There's they're broken up by junior and senior to broken up by group and individual. And the junior group performance category for the state of Minnesota is owned by Delano students. We took first and second place in that category. So we're the only ones representing that category. Um so to put this in perspective, Delano Public Schools was one of the top three schools in the entire state for sending the most students to nationals this year. one of the top three schools in the entire state. While we may have had fewer students competing than other schools, our 45 students competed only six of the 18 categories. Um, and still we took three of the 12 national spots in the areas Delano student students competed in. So, three of the 12 that they competed in, we took them. To say this is an amazing accomplishment is just the tip of the iceberg. It's so much more than that. It's months of in-depth research. It's learning how to site and annotate sources one would normally not seek out. It's taking feedback and constructive criticism and reworking a project. It's finding multiple perspectives and viewpoints. It's overcoming obstacles with technology, group members, and project fatigue. It's finding a passion they may not have uncovered and learning time management and organizational skills. It's educational excellence at its finest. And it's the little things, the early morning. Well, and it's also the little things. It's the early morning work sessions with smoothies. It's the after school work sessions with all the snacks. It's the laughing with the teammates. It's the cheering them on even though they're competing against each other in the final round. And it's the celebration of hard work that each student puts forth. History Day isn't just a project to them. And it's not just a project to us. It's an exposure to history and an awareness of their own understanding and their own viewpoints. one we hope our students will remember as they navigate their future. So, we just wanted to come and um just give you this information of this amazing accomplishment that these students um did and that represented Delano schools and represented all of us in this town. And um asking that you would share with anybody that is willing to listen um so that the word gets out there. It's just such a huge accomplishment and um it needs to be broadcast um this amazing feat that they did and uh just asking that you would help us celebrate that as well. We're very proud of that. Thanks for leading the charge. It's awesome. Absolutely. Yes. Know if they're really passionate about this, but that's just amazing. I think that uh to come in first place was a historical thing just that you got to remember we're competing against districts that are huge in sorts of different areas and here we are and if you remember and I'll share this I'll share this with you now but I'll share with you in my report I'm going to be giving you your the work that you did in your governance plan and one of the things in our visions is to exceed expectations well this is a prime example of students and teachers working together to exceed expectations. This is uh incredible and we're we're going to be happy to celebrate your transition to the next level in DC and really congratulate. I mean, talk about competing in your own house, which is probably a tough competition as it is before you even get to state. So, yeah. Um, pretty neat. Thank you very much for coming and sharing. Thank you for letting us. Thank [Applause] you. Amazing. All right. On the heels of that celebration of good news, we're going to move to the consent agenda, um, which has our minutes from the past meeting and a variety of financial reports. Do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda? I'll move Ryan. Ryan is the first second. Second from Cory. Any discussion? All those in favor? I. Any opposed? Right. Motion carries. Next item is our resolution of the acceptance of gifts. The following organizations have generously donated their funds um to variety of specific activities here for the district. Uh whereas charities aid foundation $22 for Delano Elementary School, disp $500 for school author and Lorettto Lions Club, $3,000 for an AED for nursing. All of these have in uh organizations have generously donated the funds for the Delano Public School District. Um we are grateful for their support on this. This is a We'll need a resolution. So, can I get a roll? Roll call. We need a motion in a second first. Oops. Sorry. I'll move. All right. Any discussion? Not. We'll move to a roll call vote. Sorry, Brian. Oh, good. Board member Zo. Hi. Board member Black. Hi, board member Roser. I board member Morela. Hi, Board Member Shast. Hi, and board member Baker. Hi. Great. Motion carries. Thank you all. Next, we're moving on to personnel matters. Um, one piece um wanted to point out here is Sandy Meerson uh within the um retirement section is retiring I believe. Is it 20 32? 32 had a dyslexic. sorry just uh years within the district and so send our congratulations to her for all the years of service that she's given to the district. 32 years is quite a feat especially in um in one district. So very appreciative for her and so she is retiring here this this June. Um, other than that, um, there are standard resignations and hirings related to this time of the year as the programs get ready for somewhat of the summer season. Um, do I have a motion to approve personnel matters? So moved. Black first. Second. Second. Jessica second. Any discussion? All those in favor? I I any opposed? Motion carries. Next item on the agenda is our administrative reports. First up, superintendent Sheen with the his report. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen of the board. This is my April 28th, 2025 superintendent update. I'll be brief this evening. Just a few things I wanted to share with you. Obviously, we do now have a new district mission statement, a vision. all of the work that you've done over the last three months. Uh we also have strategic directions and we have value statements as well. Our district mission which is really the district's core purpose uh is to empowering every learner to achieve their highest potential through academic excellence and quality opportunities. So that's a mission that we feel is our core purpose. Our vision is what we intend to create and the vision of Delano public schools to promote and sustain excellence through comprehensive whoops comprehensive relevant education programs safe and supportive environments exceptional staff responsible resource management and community partnerships. So there's the new district mission and vision which will be all over the district to uh make sure that we follow this will give great guidance for the management team and the staff to follow the district's school board's vision and setting that tone. In addition though we have core values of a tiger. These are our drivers of our words and our actions. These words are excellence which is that commitment to exceeding expectations. I think history day says it right there. Teamwork, collaboration, communication, and mutual support. Belonging. Everyone feels welcomed, valued, safe, respected, and included. And then grit is resilience to face challenges with courage and determination. Those four uh drivers are going to make sure that uh our actions and our work that we do within the district are driven by those core values of a tiger. And then last but not least is our strategic directions. This is really the focus of our improvement efforts. This is what we're going to work on to make sure that we continue to improve student academic outcomes through relevant and responsive and inclusive educational programming. Prioritizing our safety, positive behavior and supportive relationships to ensure a culture of belonging. Advancing professional growth to encourage collaboration, shared responsibility and commitment. And we want to make sure that we ensure efficiency and consistency in our systems and standards within our district facilities, our resources and our operations. And then last is enhancing and engaging community partnerships as well. So those are those main areas. This is our whole strategic direction that you did approve the road map for us. I appreciate the board's work in this category. Um it took three months to get us to this point, but this I believe really sets the vision and is aligned with our operational plans that we'll be reviewing uh on a on a basis. And then these will be our guiding principles for the board to review their governance plan every quarter or so throughout the school year. And then just a real quick the important legislative dates. We have three weeks left for the legislature to figure things out. Um I I'm I'm cautiously optimistic, but uh couple of things. May 19th is the con constitutional requirement for the legislature to adjourn. Uh that's approximately in 3 weeks. Uh they have not set the Senate, the House, and the governor have not agreed on budget parameters in each of the areas of the spending of the uh the next bianium. Um and the state fiscal year ends the 30th of June. So, a couple of things could happen. They have said in the press that they are very optimistic that they will get there by the 19th of May. I think that they have quite a bit of work to do to get there. Um, they just came back from recess, so they're this is their first or second week back from the Easter Passover uh break that they had uh week in mid in mid uh April. And so now it's just getting down to the nitty-gritty and and it's got to be a lot of dialogue between and there's some complications here, right? The House is at 6767. So they're literally a shared powered uh representative group and nobody has a majority. So everything has to be agreed upon in shared power. Uh the Senate is very close but obviously still has a DFL um majority. Um and then the governor obviously. So it's um and as Corey said earlier uh not this bianium but the next bianium which is the 2729 uh we're facing some deficits that are pretty considerable. The good thing is is that the the legislature and the governor realizes that that's happening and they're taking actions now even though we got about a half a billion dollars of a surplus which is not really much at all to work with. they are taking steps in each of their plans um to move forward. So nice thing too when you have this type of a a discussion heavy discussion at the financial level there are still some proposed policy changes within education um but not as much as it was in um FY23 uh bianium where it was massive mandates and massive requirements and things like that. So, it's a little bit of a balanced approach. I I give it 50/50 that they will come to an agreement with the uh with the budget by May 19th. It could happen, but um those are important dates that we'll keep watching. And you guys get updates through MSBA. Mary and I get updates through each of our associations and organizations. In fact, we have the same lobbyist that gives us the Valerie does a great job for us. And it's really just a matter of is as is what we talked about in the future is is we're only going to depend on right now. Uh we haven't agreed at all to do any more on a funding formula than the inflationary piece. And right now that's still we don't know how they're going to get there when they're looking at a five to6 billion dollar shortfall not in this bianium but in the next benium. So I hope they do take some, you know, some measures to curtail spending, whatever that may be, because I wouldn't kind of like what we did for five fiscal years. We just chipped away at a fund balance and we just chipped away at our expenditures and we did some cost-saving reductions in each of those years because I don't want us to run into a cliff. So if the if the you know the state comes back maybe not this bianium uh but they come back in two years and they're like well we're going to give you zero zero or even less than that which is all on the table you could get less in a funding formula per pupil. Um so that that's a cliff that I hope that they realize I think they do. I just want to make sure that we continue to push our legislators to be fiscally responsible, but also understand that education is a constitutional requirement that the state government has to fund uniformally. So, um, we'll see how it goes. And that concludes my report for this evening. Any questions? Thank you, Mr. Voy. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the board. It's a pleasure to speak with you on behalf of the high school. Um, first recognition, I always start with recognizing uh the achievements of our students and staff. Um, I talked a lot in the work session about CIS and PSO and different college credit opportunities. One of the things that I've only recently become aware of uh through the Department of Education is the multilingual seals program. So, this is an opportunity for students to demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English and get a multilingual seal. And depending on their performance and their score, they can earn either a platinum seal or a gold seal or get a world language certificate. Um, Anna McQueen, our wonderful EL teacher, has been really pushing for her students to try it out and give it a go on one of a variety of tests that um you can take. Our PI group sponsored that test. They're like $60 a piece. Um, and we had three students this year uh earn gold seals. Um, so these are actually we had one student uh achieve this two years ago. So these are just the second, third, and fourth students to ever receive this. Um, they are Mikey Melco, Oscar Munoz Bellow or Beao, sorry, Fabian Maldonado. They've all earned gold ski uh gold seals. So Mikey in Hungarian um and then Oscar and Fabian in Spanish. We also had another student who will get the gold seal when she goes to graduate, but she's only a junior now. So Versavia Gorlav achieved the same feat in Russian. And so a gold seal basically takes the place of three semester courses of that world language when they get to college. And Minscu schools are required to give that credit. So, um, just awesome. Well, you got to hate that. I'm sorry. This is awesome news is what I meant to say. Um, yeah. So, I definitely want to highlight that. Another recognition, congrats to Oliver Berg and Megan Arnison. They, um, they participate in our speech program that we co-op with Orno and they competed at state this past weekend. Oliver took fourth. Unfortunately, Megan didn't make it onto the finals round, but Oliver took fourth. Nevertheless, we had two students of course uh represent Delano at the state competition. And the other thing I'd like to just um publicize is our musical Hades Town, which opened this past weekend. There are shows coming up again Thursday and Friday, both at 7:00, and there's a Saturday matinea. Um wonderful performance. Uh we have a theater tech class for the first time this year, and they did all the set design and construction. And they actually have a rotunda on stage. So there's a spot in the stage that turns. I know Bobby put out a pretty nice video and put it on Facebook and Jackson, I believe, helped with that video. Uh but check it out. It's 2 hours uh of run time, but there's a 15-minute intermission. Uh just amazingly talented students. So um congratulations to them and hopefully we have a popular weekend of that show coming up this weekend. Uh, with that, in terms of a sitebased leadership team update, obviously we're working through staffing and our student handbook changes. Just an update on that staffing. We have hired a math teacher. We have social studies interviews this coming week. Uh, we're still looking for a long-term substitute in math and a.5 fed position. Um, and we're also working to fill a halftime EL position. I mentioned Anna, she has resigned, as you just saw in the personnel agenda, to um, care for her family. Um, so obviously we it's always kind of a fun time of year to to interview people and bring in um engaging new talent to the dental school. So that's always an exciting time. And then lastly, I was just like to extend the invitation to all of you uh to attend senior awards night which is May 7th at 7:30 p.m. That will be in the tech. Uh so come on down. Uh we'll sit you right up front and recognize you for your leadership. Enroll in Delo Public Schools if you so choose. That's 7:30 on May 7th. And then of course, um, by the way, senior awards night is our kickoff to what I call the celebration season. Uh, and then the culminating event, of course, is graduation on June 1st at 1:30. So, with that, that concludes my report on behalf of the high school. I'd be happy to answer any questions that anyone has. Thank you. All right, Miss Schultz. Ladies and gentlemen of the board, pleasure to be here on behalf of the elementary school. I will get us started with some of our sitebased updates. Um, similar to Mr. Voit, we are working on our handbook revisions. Um, we also have some field trip guidelines that we've been working through. Our fall field trips were successful, but a couple nuance things kind of came up. So, it's good to get the teams together to talk about like how could we make this smoother, various checklists, some templates that we think will be really nice for parents and families, which may work their way into the handbook as well. Um, schedules we're always working on this time of year as well. And then our summer school and ESY, there's just a lot of logistical things that kind of go into that that impact um different teams and students and all those processes. So, we're kind of going through that. And then we have um some endofear watchdog events. So watchd dogs is dads of great students. So we have a few regular dogs that we refer to them as that come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Um they just kind of gotten into a great pattern with some of our kids and making some nice connections. So they come in for morning supervision, have breakfast with the kids, and then they kind of take off and then we have some that come in the afternoon to come and have lunch and recess with kids um as well. So, we have a running sign up um that they can do as it works for their schedule and then they've made some great connections as I mentioned. But then we also have a larger pool of about 20 or so that started with us at the beginning of the year. So, we're trying to kind of do some closing pieces and bring them back to some of our events, our field day and then our school picnics. So, we're hoping to get them um back on our campus in a little bit bigger format, not just our Tuesdays and Thursdays. And then I don't know if you've heard but we had a change to our parent pickup process and that was today. So from my perspective and logistically it could not have gone better. Um we could have done without the oh no we might get stormed on and hailed on but that was out of our control. It was a good test to see if everything was in place and um it went really really well. I would like to specifically thank Miss Dulki. She helped a lot with the initial communications sort of like here's where we're at. Here's the ideas now make it sound a little bit better and more concise that's a little bit more digestible I think for families and she doesn't live it every day. So like what goes through our mind of like go to this place and this place. She's like what do you mean by that? So that was really really helpful. She put together some key messages for us as well based off of some parent emails that we got. So it was really nice to have those snippets when we did get some questions. Um and then Mr. Shane came up, Deputy Larson, Megan Chatterton, and Barry helped make sure that the um coaches and the kids that have spring sports did not come and park in our parking lot until um 3:00. So, we had all those parking spots available for our families. So, at 2:45, I walked out and there was not any weight on Tiger Drive. It was crazy in a good way. So, I'm I'm sure there'll be some things that we need to change and update as we move through, but I think initially things things went really really well. So, grateful to the parents as well. They had questions. Some took to Facebook, but that's okay. Some emailed me and then we spoke on the phone. So, we were able to just sort of have a more open conversation about kind of why and helped kind of respond um to some of their concerns. But, they were really great in trusting the process, seeing the need. Yes, they understood that and just were like, "Okay, we'll put our best foot forward." And they really they really did a nice job. So, that was great. Um, and then we also have um moving into staffing. We have one sped position open right now. Um, we also have a long-term sub position in um kindergarten that we're working to fill. And then there were a few MU moves in between grade levels like there kind of usually is. Like obviously Diane is going back into the classroom. So then a couple people shifted um but all um spots that they were hoping to be in. So that's always nice when people get their first request um for our MTSS and PD work. Edge of Climbers is big as Mr. Voit shared in his um kind of deep dive. That's been a lot of learning for everybody, but we know it's going to be great and we're excited for that initial um meeting in the summer when we bring on a few more team members throughout the district so they can kind of see what we've been working on and the benefits that it will bring. Um, as you saw Diane in her presentation, she's very savvy at looking at data. So, we've gotten our preliminary MCA results in and so she's kind of sifting through some of that and kind of looking at, okay, where are some growth spots and things like that for us. So, I'll be able to share more of that, um, next month. And then, um, we're hoping next year to bring in some data literacy training throughout the district. That's hard to balance a little bit with the letters work and then we're adopting a a new math curriculum. hope not next year, but the work behind what that curriculum will be and the new math standards is some of that work that we're going to be doing next year as well. So, still trying to find those pockets of time with the um next year of letters still going on that we can add in some more of that PD. An update for you on kindergarten numbers. Right now, we're at 150. So, that's about 2122 per class. So, sitting pretty well. I've given about one to two tours per week of um incoming kindergarten families. So I would I would imagine that there would be at least another 10 to 15, but that's just based on past kind of over the summertime, spring and summer. So we will see how where we end up. Um events that we are looking forward to. Uh Tiger Dash is on Saturday. So if you are interested in running or walking a 5K, come on up to the elementary school. We've got music concerts and field trips and then as I mentioned field days coming up as well. And we have a mentorship appreciation that our kids hope um mentors that we partner with Light of Christ. They put on a really sweet breakfast for the teachers that have a mentor that they've been working with all year. So they come in um in in May and do a nice little breakfast for those teachers. And then we had our art fair last Thursday which was filled with really great creative art from our kids um at the elementary school. So any questions or comments? Just a little shout out for the art fair. Jason and I had the opportunity to go up there and spend some time. I'm going to tell you something. There's some things there that they produce that I couldn't believe was produced by a kindergartener, first and second, third grader. It's incredible what they what they can do. It's just amazing to see that the color the I mean it was all to you know all sorts of different art that was there. It was really impressive. Great. Thank you. Thank you Miss Thompson. Evening ladies and gentlemen of the board. Thank you for allowing me to present to you this evening as a representative of the intermediate school. Um, I'll start by sharing with you a little bit of what our site base has been working on. Um, our site base right now, um, is really just in event planning mode. May gets really busy uh, at the intermediate school, which I will share about next month. I'll give you a full rundown of everything we're working on, but that's kind of just keeping us busy to stay all on the same page with what we've got coming up. Uh, we've got a few staffing things happening at the uh, intermediate school. We're hiring a fourth grade teacher. We're adding an eighth section in fourth grade, which is really exciting. Um it's going to force us to shift some things around um space-wise, but we're excited to have another section. Um we're hiring a music teacher that we'll share with the high school. Um as you mentioned, Sandy Meyerson is retiring. She'll be greatly missed, so we'll be hiring that position. And then we're very excited to welcome back um to Fodder full-time intermediate school. That's going to help our scheduling process quite a bit. So, we're really just very thankful um and excited for that. Looking forward to next year. So, that's where we're at with our staffing. Uh, for professional development, we had our two-hour late start this month. Our staff worked on completing the Sabers assessment for our students. They do that in the fall and then again in the spring. So, they worked on doing that. We'll look at those assessments um as part of our MTSS review. Some staff worked on letters and then we also spent some time doing a parah feedback session. So, we spent some time with our paras as well. Um, in terms of MTSS, so kind of what we're doing with our interventions. Like I said, we did finish our second Sabers screener. So that's looking at social, academic, emotional behaviors. So when we have our data team meeting, we'll look at those um results and compare them fall to spring just to see if there's any areas that we can do um more work in supporting our students in. We have our final fast screening window. So we do that in the fall, winter, and spring. We just wrapped up MCAs, so why not jump right into fast testing? We'll start that next week. Uh and then that is really what we look at more carefully. We look at our fast results really carefully to start looking at the effectiveness of our interventions this year, the effectiveness of our core instruction this year and any placements for next year. Um and then also at our SST meeting where we kind of look at just our individual student needs. Uh Mr. Shawberger will be joining us this week from high school. So he comes down and he kind of talks through our sixth grade student needs any students um does have on the radar as they transition to seventh grade. So Mr. Her collaborates with him in that process so they can make a smooth transition which works out really well. So, uh, in terms of events that happened in April, I just wanted to highlight um, our MCAs, like I said, we spend, um, six days during the month of April doing MCAs. I think we're the only building that every single grade tests and they all test multiple times. So, we do seven MCA tests, six days. So, if you do the math, that's over 1,500 MCA tests that we get done. We have science left. We're doing that tomorrow. Um, and our testing window ends on Friday. It was really tight this year because we had Easter break and a late start. So, God bless Mr. Hanker, but I'm like, don't those makeups yet, Greg. We're getting it's getting down to the wire, but we'll get them done. Um, our preliminary results are really very much on track and comparable to last year. Um, which feels really good. The kids have been working really hard. Um, and just to kind of give you a picture because I feel like people need to know, it's not just sitting 30 kids down in a room and saying, "Take a test." Um, we have to train people starting in January. We train custodians, food service, office staff because anyone with a master key needs test security training that starts way, way in January. Our paras, our teachers are trained. Um, we set up small groups for special ed students, 504 students, gened students. We need staff for that. We need space for that. We have to organize all of that. We have test tickets. We have to organize and get into the right locations. Um, our food service prepares breakfast for every kid every morning. They sign up, they come down, they get breakfast. Um, and then like I said, um, Mr. Hanker arranges all the makeups. And miraculously, our building is really quiet for a few hours on those mornings. So, it really is a team effort. The whole building just really is like on point during these days if you are in and you walk around. Oh, we have parent volunteers come in and just sit and make sure our bathrooms are quiet. So, it's really quite the undertaking that like I said, we start working on in January. So, when we finish tomorrow, we're going to feel really great. And I am very, like I said, I am very proud of our students. They've worked really hard. Whatever your opinion is of standardized testing, they do work very hard and we're very proud of them. So, um, other than that, we had a author come in and he presented to us last Friday, James Kennedy. Um, he was entertaining. Uh, if you were there, that's what we're going to say about him. Um, Heidi brought him in. He actually works on the, um, the 60 92nd Newberry um, project that the GT kids do. So, that's kind of her connection to him. He came in, presented, he had a lot of energy. Um, our fifth grade math masters were last week. And then um like Heidi and Teresa shared, we had our state history day competition. We're really really excited, especially for Winston, Josen, and Zach. It was really fun this morning. They had a banner up in the sixth grade hallway. They were wearing their medals, and it's just fun to see, you know, they're being recognized by their peers and high fives and congratulations, and it was just a really fun celebration for them and all the other kids who were um honorable mentions. So, uh busy month ahead at the intermediate school. We're looking forward to it. Um we'll get her done. Any questions or comments? in celebrating is for being smart. Yeah. Right. Mary, just a few things. The preliminary FY26 budget will be presented to the board during the work session next month. Um, as we talked about the prime vendors um quotes that went out and were received on April 21st, that'll be also approved at the May meeting. um and the option of exercising a renewal for both bread and milk this year so that or for next year so we don't have to go out for quotes and then I will look at pricing for meals but we kind of want to wait until after the legislaturator's done just in case they make a change to the free school meals. Um there was talk of possibly free milk for kids who bring cold lunch. So there's just a couple things that until the legislative session is done we're just kind of going to be up in the air. So, we won't have any definitive answers or um requests until probably June or July. But that's about it. Any questions? Thank you. Thank you, Mary. Next, Chris Runky, our community ed. Ladies and gentlemen, the board, thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight on behalf of community education. Tonight, I'd like to talk to you about the enrichment, our enrichment and tiger kids club programs. This past fall, community education went through some shifting of staff responsibilities which resulted in Rachel Wallace um transitioning into a coordinator role from supervisory role and she's now assumed the coordination of the enrichment and tiger kids club school age care programs. Um and so for the enrichment side from our winter and spring brochure Rachel has coordinated 36 session sections of enrichment activities which has served 90 participants so far. Um some of the more popular programs are the Tiger Paint Club and our paint with me sessions and then also chess that remains to be a popular offering. Again, very popular, always has been. Um trends that we have noticed um our participation interest levels are always higher at our elementary than our intermediate school. Um some things that we're noticing that it's been a challenge to meet some of our um registration minimum numbers based on kids today are have more and more activities that are available to them. So, um, we are needing to think a little bit more creatively in how we try to get more kids interested or how we are generating more interest in our class. Some of the ideas that Rachel has come up with, um, she's kind of utilizing now her role as the with TKC to help kind of bolster the enrichment side of it too to get more interest in her classes. And what she's done there's, if you've been in the community building, soon as you walk in, right to your right, there's bulletin board there that she's kind of taken over and she's put um flyers of all of her enrichment activities on there. She's put a QR code on there for a direct link to registration for for those families. So as they're passing by, if kids interested, mom or dad can just scan the QR code, be taken right to registration. And so just trying to generate a little bit more interest in that way. Also again continuing to send flyers through PGR and then also going after our not going after but eliciting our TKC families again by sending emails directly to those families to help try to get that that population interested in those classes as well. Um, one other great idea that she's had too is we're also exploring resourceful ways to use scholarship dollars that we have available to us. So, things that we've noticed is that when we have classes that get close to registration minimum and we have to make decisions on those classes if they run or not. And so when they are getting close to those numbers, we're utilizing some of the scholarship dollars that we have available to connect with our uh our counselors at our elementary school or intermediate school depending on what class level is and trying to see if there's any students that have would be interested in taking those classes then offering them the class for free but using our scholarship dollars to supplement the the funding for that program and then try so that we don't have to cancel a class that has close to enough registrations but also giving an opportunity to some kids that might not have an opportunity to participate enrichment classes. So, trying to get creative in how we make make those classes run and really looking at the budgets to make sure everything is operating well. Um, and again, by doing this, it also helps to keep families interested in our programs because if we if we cancel classes often, families tend to shy away from those classes, not thinking that they're going to run. So, we want to make sure that we are doing our best to make sure those classes do run. on our TKC side of it or Rachel's position here um for a school a for the the current school year we have 122 school age contracts so we are full at the current moment for this current school year um we did like I mentioned this before but at the beginning of the year we were in one of the worst staffing shortages that TKC had had faced so we partnered with Radar Talent Solutions we were able to we've been able to hire multiple full-time um full-time time adult staff members and then as the year has gone on, we've been able to continuously continue to hire full-time adult staff. That's allowed us to have the flexibility to to cover staff absences or if we have to make some adjustments with staff during the day. It's allowed us to be able to to be flexible like that. Doing the with that, we currently have a team of five school age adult staff members and 10 high school aids. And then one thing that we do want to mention is that our high school aids have been have done a phenomenal job. they've been um presented with some challenges. They've also had the opportunity to take some leadership roles within the program and taking on leading some class classrooms when when we've needed it or with adults that are still on the floor, but they've had the opportunity to take a classroom and lead it and get that experience well and they've done a phenomenal job with that. So, we want to recognize their efforts there. And then for our our upcoming summer program, there's some changes that um our program is going through. One of the most significant changes for the upcoming summer session is that the summer TKC program will be at the community education building this this year. It was not an easy decision to make that decision to come back from the school campus and come back to community ed building, but we went through our IROD process, got all the information, all the all the reactions, we went through the process and we found that it was going to be best for the program to come back to community ed. Some of those reasons were having a dedicated space for all of our materials, enhances facilitation of activities, staff comfort, and that also leads to a better staff morale. Um, and then keeping the team get together enables better coordination and administrative support throughout the program along with enhanced behavioral support system. So, we have some staff that handle behavior sports and they're before we've had them at the community ed building, but now bringing everybody back, they're going to be able to help support more of our students throughout the entire program and not just one specified area of that. Um, and it also simplifies the drop off and pick up process for families and enhances safety through better access and control and understanding of how to secure spaces during emergencies. So, our staff are very familiar with how our building operates and works and they've been going through the drills and training with our safety procedures. So having them in our building is going to help enhance that that process as well. The number of families served will remain consistent with previous summers. We have a total of 238 contracts. 47 of them are preschool, 191 school age contracts. We currently do have 35 that are on the weight list. Um our theme this summer will be the backyard expedition. Each week students are going to meet with a special animal visitor who will lead them through exciting activities that inspire creativity, curiosity, and teamwork. Um the activities will range from exploring nature through play. Our outdoor adventures will build skills in problem solving, fitness and environmental awareness. Transportation through the Elm Express which is a we have contracted with to rent a van. Um we'll provide transportation on campus to various enrichment recreation activities. So TKC is is going to provide transportation to 61 sections of activities from June through August as well as transportation to summer school. So by in joining TKC, those students were still going to have access to the to the programs that they they had access to when they were on campus. They were just now providing them transportation. Um, one last thing is just that's been a benefit for our program is a collaboration between the elementary school and um community ed and so Rachel our our coordinator is a member of the ES sitebased team. So her participation on the sitebased team allows or enables us to maintain regular connections with the administration, the teachers and social workers and maintains an open line of commu communication being crucial as it helps our staff better serve and support the children in preschool and TKC. And one of our primary goals with this is that we are maintaining consistency in language and and the expectations from our programs to dees. So when our students go from community ed to the elementary, we want to make sure we're using that same consistent language and having the same expectations. The same thing when they come back to us for TKC or for the for the school age care is that we have the same expectations that they've been going throughout the entire day and using some of that same similar language. So having her being a part of that has been a huge asset for our program as well. That concludes my report. If anybody has any questions at this time, we'd be happy to answer. the capacity wasn't I thought the capacity was an issue for moving into the different school but that doesn't seem we're going to be able to facilitate the same number of families that we have when we were there versus and bring them back into the community at building so we're going to have the same capacity from then to now okay the upcoming school year or summer right can I just say one thing one of the reasons that we did go to the other buildings that for those years also was to do some deep cleaning at community at building. Got it. Because when it's used 12 months a year, they just wouldn't get that done. Okay. So, that's no longer a concern. They they've done a really good job over It's not a concern, but we have been we have been working with our custodial staff to figure out a a rotation to get kids out of room so they can go in the waxing, the scrubbing, the deep clean, and we'll rotate them in and out. So, we've come up with a process for that that should work for this for this coming summer. So yeah, makes sense. Thank you. Any other questions for Chris? Okay, moving on to board reports. MSICO Sarah. Uh we had our monthly MASCO meeting. Um just a few high level things as always in um special education staffing is always an issue. So the management of moving staff to meet student needs. um managing resignations and retirements and making sure we're always fully staffed and Masiko is always a priority. Um that is um that's a monthly ongoing issue that's um I think very efficiently addressed. Um we continue to get some updates from Masiko's executive director around um the department of education at the federal level. It's a changing landscape there. So just she's great at staying on top of those things and how that may impact um an entity like Masiko which is heavily dependent on federal dollars. Um so we appreciate those updates from her around that. Um uh [Music] other event if calling out some transitions from students attending MSICO programs back to their home district is always something that is highlighted and celebrated. um when a student has met their goals and they're able to move back to their resident district, that's um something that is um is a great thing that's happening for students. Um we reviewed some policies as usual, pretty typical things. Um, I did one call out I wanted to make that Melissa was giving us information about was the MDE's rate of special education complaints has skyrocketed um this school year. So, it's just something to be mindful of as we're thinking about um appropriate staffing and just staying on top of what's needed from a staffing level to make sure we're in compliance with special education law, providing students with appropriate service. um and in working with families whose students receive special education services. So those numbers are um the number of complaints is fairly concerning and um yeah just something to maintain awareness. Those are parental complaints. Those are teacher parental complaints MDE about about the services. Okay. Yep. about special education services and due process complaints. Um, good news. Matt will be speaking at the STEP graduation in May. And is the commencement speak. I'm sure I'm sure you have your speech already. Eye contact. Don't look at your notes. You know, all those things. Um, so that's good. I'm going to try to go to that um just because I'd like to see the students not I mean it is about you but I'd like it is about you but not really about you. Um and we approved the calendar for the 2526 school year at Mosiko which again is a large process where we have seven districts where we're trying to align calendars to that. So, we approved the calendar and then like I said, um several policies, pretty typical process to what we do at our board. We will be in May going to um we'll have our May meeting in at the Wings location in Lichfield, which Masiko provides the education. It's a it's a chemical dependency program, so treatment center where Masico provides the education there. So, we'll be touring that. I'm looking forward to that. And yeah, that's about it. Sarah, next is Right Tech. Jim is absent. The minutes from the last two meetings are attached. I don't not sure if anyone attended any meetings or has any intel on any links. Otherwise, the minutes like I said, the minutes are attached for Just one question. Did they find a superintendent? Are they did they the executive director is an hire? I'm going on Tuesday. Are you? Yep. Good. With J, but that way I can. Perfect. Help more as needed. Thank you, Ryan. Um Rachel, you got the next two. Yep. So, safe schools, we had Neil Humaler. That's um and we spent the entire time doing um an interactive on pure mental health support. Um, and so it was log in and kind of do back and forth questions and stuff like that. And you talked about interacting with your peers in the workplace and so forth. Um, not a whole lot to share on that. And then the next one is schools for affordable and fair funding. I was not able to attend that. I don't know if you did, Matt. I had it online, but I got interrupted about 12 times. So I was able to go through the packet. probably send us the packet and all the slideshows and stuff um ahead of time so at least we can get caught up if we are not able to attend. So, um I was able to look today talking about Wallace's budget plan which cuts 240 million. Um the ones that affect us um the most are in the um student transportation, um library aid, um things like that. And then the 79 million in Q comps, which is proposed on the budget, but then I was at the capital on Thursday last week talking with some legislators and there's talk about the QC comps not being um able to go through. there's some bipartisan support on keeping COP right now and so that is up in the air. I just strong belief that that will not be taken out. So hopefully that stays for our staff. Um outside of that, they had some stuff in there about what the governor's priorities are. Um there's some language cleanup um especially in literacy curriculum. The $40 million for read 3.0, I think is what we're on now, um is still in there. Uh they there is a timeline thing that clarifies um which educators don't have to receive training by July 1st, 2027. Um and it delays the training, it strikes the delayed training timeline for the MBE literacy specialist and the district literacy lead. So that had been pushed out and the new proposal pushes it back again. And so, um, it's great fun for schools to try to figure out when we have to be trained by. And really glad we're ahead of schedule, honestly, because some of these schools might be finding out they have to be trained faster than I thought they did. Outside of that, we had two representatives from education finance there. Um, and they were there to questions. So, that's the update I have. How many districts participate in Q comp across the state? One third of the district. Definitely. Yeah, between a third and a half. One third. ran out of money. Uhuh. So, and QC comp's funded in two ways. One is by the state and one is it gives the state gives districts authority to levy for it um at the property tax level. Yeah. They said the argument was that some schools or some of the legislators didn't realize that compensatory aid is not exactly equal across all districts. And when they started getting hammered by people there about that when they were like we'll just use your compensatory aid and some of the schools like oral were like we don't really get that. So they're starting to push back a little bit and so there's thoughts that it might not be struck from the budget. Not as much support as the it's losing support and there's more support going towards ending the fully funded school launches and moving that up to like $250,000 instead of funding everybody. Thank you, Rachel. Next we have old business. There are four policies within um old business. Is there anyone here for public comment on any of these four policies related on the under old business? All right. Then we'll move through each of them. The first one um is the approval of the second read of policy 410 family and medical leave. Um I'll make a motion. Thanks Rachel for a second. Second, Corey. Any discussion? Very efficient. All those in favor? I. Any opposed? Great. Motion carries to approve that policy. The next policy is the approval of the second read of policy 614, school test or district testing plan and procedure. And do I have a motion to approve that policy? So moved. Cory first. Second. Second by Ryan. Any discussion? All those in favor? Any opposed? All right. Policy approved. Next policy is a second read to rescend policy 617 the school district insurance of preparatory and high school standards. So moved. Thanks Cera. Second. I'll second. Second by DEPA. Any discussion?

I'll second. Thanks, Jess. Any discussion? All those in favor? I All right. Motion carries. Under new business, the first item we have under new business is to approve the FY27 right tech center LTFM resolution. We discussed this last month during the work session. So the dollars are very similar every year to what we're doing. Um all of the money that we're doing levying for them now is for LTFM where before it was a mixture of capital funds because they were still had some bonds that they were paying off in LTFM. So now they just combined everything into LTFM. So thank you Mary. The four attachments that Mary is referencing are all here attached to the agenda. Do I have a motion to approve FY27? I'll make the motion. Thank you, Corey. Second by Depa. And this is a roll call vote. All right. Board member Shouse. Hi. Board member Baker. Hi. Board member Za. Hi. Board member Black. Hi. Board member Roser. Hi. And board member Mora. I. Right. Motion carries. The next item on the agenda is the approval and first read of policy 413, harassment and violence due to substantive changes. We went over this in work session. There's a a definitional change to disability that is in the policy. Do I have a It just sounds like we're approving harassment and violence. Yeah, it's a terrible title. I think the idea is to prevent um which is absent from the title but implied. Um, do we have a motion to approve uh this first read of this policy? So moved. All right. Thank Jess. A second. Seconded by Sarah. All those in favor? Any opposed? All right. First read is approved.

The next, um, policy we have, it is to approve the first read of policy 213, schoolboard committees, due to substantive changes. This is significant uh changes related to the work we did in our governance processing uh planning with um in line with the mission vision and values uh work that we did. There are some changes that we noted in here that management's going to rework but for now we will approve the or recommend that we approve the first read. Do I have a motion to recommend the first read of this policy moved first? A second by black. All those in favor? I I opposed. All right. Motion carries to move that forward. Um public comment.
