So the cool thing about our guidelines is it was never an all or nothing um you know it had from AI free meaning we're not utilizing any AI with students to AI empower empowered which is more um you know full integration of AI and uh this can be utilized within a course but then also activities or assignments within a course.

So verification, you know, if we we've seen that the um you know that the use is going up. Verification is the gap. It's basically saying like what is the output of our students work and actually districtwide it fell from 43 to 38%.

when AI can complete many traditional assignments the question shifts from do we how do we prevent misuse to what counts as authentic evidence of student understanding?

I was just say I feel like you're striking a really good balance of keeping up with innovative cutting edge technology that we, you know, we all need to know how to use, but also um keeping it safe. And I love that you talk about privacy and security and discernment. I think that's well done.

Byron Public Schools offers twice as many concurrent enrollment classes as Rochester Public Schools does, just to kind of show the disparity that's there.

The So these maps are shared not only with the district, but they're shared with all of the emergency responders in the area. So then when uh um when they come to help us, they just

So, everything is tracking really fantastically at this point. We're tracking right on pace to be actually below budget. On a lot of our expenditures.

I did run it through G through Gemini and Chad GT. Great. Great. Thank you. Thanks.

when you when you adopt those as as handbooks in a in a very real sense, those those become very similar to the policies that are in all of our policy series.

I did find one very nitpicky um language suggestion in the primary school on page 41. At the top it says all disciplinary measures will be under the guise of the building administration. That's the wrong word. Guidance. Yeah, I thought so. I thought so.

But this is also to give you a sense of of trying to plan out into the future to see how these things look, how once we grab the data, how we analyze it and plot it on a map to to take it out into the future.

But I do think like and it's kind of interesting to know when I'm talking to ninth graders versus when I'm talking to the seniors like the seniors they don't I and I think it's just the cortex has changed. Right. Right. It's like they don't need somebody to explicitly say this is us practicing collaboration. Right. Right.

this one uh is just when you have students that have some very distressing uh behavior. And think about it like if you were like a math teacher at the high school, you might not know that Shawn was super violent in his English or his social studies class. And this provides an opportunity or a requirement that we advise staff when um when there's something kind of wild taking place um so they can be on alert.

it's um there are so many controls about when we hire teachers and then when we turn around and report the classes that they're teaching, there are so many controls that if you had a teacher that didn't have a valid license, like all the alarm bells start going off.

I for one uh fully endorse and support their method of having a graduation ceremony that is um very respectful, very ceremonial, and also very efficient.

I would like to do it. Yeah, I really would because I know a lot of the seniors, right?

this action is a um is a procedural necessity that due to the nature of um tier one and tier 2 and some of the probationary teachers um you you have to terminate their employment so that then they can qualify for the next next license type or their license expires.

these are um really due to the increasing enrollment that we've seen at the high school and we're going to continue to see increasing enrollment at the high school for the next um three years.

EL teachers are actually harder to find than sped teachers in today's world. And so, um, I don't know if we'll find one, but we have the we have the net out there, and no fishies have been nibbling yet.

The intent about having the assistant principal position at the primary school was to be ultra sensitive to the budget situation. And so the the shells that I had moved around ended up being budget neutral. Um but in living the in living the world um the assistant principal position at the primary school does the same job as a full principal at any other school. and um it is not right to to artificially kind of put a ceiling on the compensation of of somebody who's doing the full work.

I would advise keeping grades K through five still open for open enrollment and not immediately placing people on weight list. Um, what we'll do functionally in the office is as open enrollment applications come in, we will we'll hold on to them. We won't immediately assign them or or accept them.

if we had two first graders move in, those two first graders on their own, I mean, we're now at the place where we maybe should look at doing something different in first grade. Well, if we had another couple first graders sitting on an OE weight list, well, then all of a sudden it becomes it becomes significantly more pal palatable for the district to say, 'Well, let's add a new section here, right?'

I'm I'm looking at the open the the enrollment totals tabs. Um, so we if I'm reading this correctly, right now we have uh 22 32 kids, right? that are currently registered in in campus.

in total, we'll receive a little over $150,000 for the ANI grant. Um, and then in these different tabs, you see the places that that money is going towards.

The goal is to create an integration goal which sounds kind of weird but like I said before I think I think we've laid a really great foundation to do something that's both meaningful for students but then also that makes sense for the districts.

eight or nine people got awarded by the southeastern Minnesota. I left my notes at home. I apologize. But um it was for an incident that happened with a man who was suffering a cardiac um episode out at Oxbow February. And so like they awarded the the very first person on the scene, he called 911. They walked him through how to do CPR and waited, you know, until ambulance came and it was just a welloiled machine.

there will be a stage um they're making uh city council is uh waiting on a grant, a $50,000 grant to see if we get it to build a stage for um the summer concert series. And then it'll also be I mean it's not just going to be used for summer concerts but it'll be out at BCRC um used for summer concerts for buy good neighbor days.

But the wonderful thing about these folks is that they literally work themselves out of a job. And we get a lot of our students coming back to the member districts, which is very impressive, even just one or two, but I think in the last five years, they've had more than a dozen kids return to their member school.
