We're 62 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,880 only doing that at the second grade 63 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,280 level this year. Uh we've done that at 64 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,039 multiple grade levels in the past and by 65 00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:44,639 doing it at the second grade level, we 66 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:46,560 will have second through fifth grade 67 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,000 students at the elementary that have 68 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,240 taken that assessment uh for that 69 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,960 identification purpose. 70 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,280 As you well know, we've adopted a new 71 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,759 literacy curriculum uh this last year. 72 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,599 And so, we will be using the uh the 73 00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:03,360 assessment that comes with that literacy 74 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,039 curriculum for our uh literacy screener 75 00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:09,919 um at the kindergarten through uh sixth 76 00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:12,240 grade levels.

It comes 79 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,759 from Curriculum Associates, the company. 80 00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:21,360 It's called the I Ready Inform. will be 81 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,639 using it for both math and literacy um 82 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:26,560 in the upcoming year. As you may 83 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,160 remember from some of the reports I've 84 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,639 given, we've been using it for math for 85 00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:35,039 the last several years and seeing really good growth uh from students from 86 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,360 that screening assessment. Uh but again, 87 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,120 we'll be using it for literacy as well. 88 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,640 Our teachers are going to be getting 89 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,560 trained on how to do that uh coming up 90 00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:44,640 in August. 91 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,680 Um, for the secondary, however, grades 6 92 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:49,839 through 11, uh, we're also, um, 93 00:08:49,839 --> 00:08:51,760 investing in, 94 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,399 uh, you'll see the reference to a STAR 95 00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:57,680 assessment screener there. Um, it's one 96 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:00,320 of the state approved screeners. Um, and 97 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,360 the the middle school and high school 98 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,200 did a pretty considerable amount of work 99 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,720 this last year, really thinking through 100 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,320 what did they want to get out of the 101 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,320 screening process. As you may know, past 102 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,480 sixth grade were not actually required 103 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,600 to screen students, but those uh those 104 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,600 buildings wanted to screen students so 105 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,279 that they could help identify them, run 106 00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:21,680 interventions, and help improve outcomes 107 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,440 for students. And so they were 108 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,680 interested in a screening tool that 109 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,360 provided them a little bit more data 110 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,519 around how students might be grouped, 111 00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:31,200 where interventions might be most 112 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,800 effective, and actually gave them 113 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,200 examples of interventions to use. and 114 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,240 STAR does all that for for those uh 115 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,839 those buildings and for those students. 116 00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:41,519 And so we've gone with that. We're 117 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:43,200 actually working with that company right 118 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,519 now to arrange uh training for a core 119 00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:46,959 group of teachers on how to administer 120 00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:48,720 it and how to use it. Well, so that's 121 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,440 what's going on there. And then lastly, 122 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,440 as you might remember from two 123 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,920 legislative sessions ago, um this year 124 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,519 is the first year that will be put in 125 00:09:57,519 --> 00:09:59,519 place the required civics test that 126 00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:01,839 students must pass in order to graduate. 127 00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:05,200 Um, I will say that when the uh test was 128 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,040 released last year, there was some some 129 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,040 initial piloting that we chose not to 130 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,519 participate in. And then uh once they 131 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:14,079 got that test set, they released it for 132 00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:16,000 uh schools if they wanted to start 133 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000 practice giving it. How was it going for 134 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,160 students? Uh there were a few uh courses 135 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,519 at the high school that did give that 136 00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:23,279 and it went relatively well for our 137 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:26,079 students. And so um the the the high 138 00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:27,760 school is approaching this with a lot of 139 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,120 optimism that students will be 140 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,120 successful with that. Uh but you'll see 141 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,360 that uh civics assessment worked into 142 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,600 the cap. Those are the major differences 143 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,040 that you'll see this year in our 144 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,279 approach to assessment. 145 00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:41,200 Do you guys have any questions about our 146 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,920 approach to assessment? 147 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,920 >> I'm going to ask you a quick question. 148 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,440 So I the required civics test is it they 149 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,720 just had do they just have to take it 150 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,839 once and pass? 151 00:10:51,839 --> 00:10:53,120 >> They have to pass it once. 152 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,040 >> Okay. So it's listed four times. So 153 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,200 basically they can have a few runs at it 154 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:57,680 to 155 00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:59,600 >> correct if there were students that it 156 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,440 could be taken as many times as desired. 157 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,440 So it's not as if if you didn't pass it 158 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,880 your freshman year, we have to wait till 159 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,079 your sophomore year. We could give it 160 00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:07,839 multiple times during the freshman year, 161 00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:09,680 but we listed it in every grade level 162 00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,959 because our graduating seniors will have 163 00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:15,360 to take it and pass it this year. 164 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,320 >> And so I I believe the intention is to 165 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,240 have it taken by if I if I recall 166 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,519 correctly, give me a little bit of grace 167 00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:22,880 here. It's either freshman or 168 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,000 sophomores, but I think it's our 169 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,519 sophomore students is where they're 170 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:27,120 planning on giving it. But this next 171 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,480 year, of course, we're gonna have to 172 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,640 give it in every grade level because the 173 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,720 no one's grandfathered in. Everybody has 174 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,480 to to pass it to graduate. 175 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,360 >> Okay. 176 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,079 >> Thank you. 177 00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:38,800 >> Yep. 178 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,560 >> Any other questions, comments? 179 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:44,240 >> All right.

Um I imagine 189 00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:09,760 things are pretty much falling into 190 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,399 place as we get closer. Obviously 191 00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,720 beginning of August, we'll be pretty 192 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,800 much sure, right? 193 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,800 I think we look good.

Um for project 214 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,839 updates, the middle school painting has 215 00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:18,639 begun and um they started in the 216 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:20,160 hallways and then are going to move to 217 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,480 more the cafeteria area. Um he did um 218 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,880 let the facilities committee be aware 219 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,040 that the cafeteria 220 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,519 furniture is being delayed and he kind 221 00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,320 of talked about um that he and um 222 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,680 principal Miller do have a plan on how 223 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:39,600 the they can get the furniture all put 224 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,000 together um in September when it comes 225 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000 in. So without having to, you know, shut 226 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,480 that cafeteria down and so on. Um the he 227 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,720 reported that the new scoreboards boards 228 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,560 are scheduled um to be shipped the end 229 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,440 of July and I know that I have seen some 230 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,440 paperwork from Media Quest and NI for 231 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,440 the installs on that some POS that went 232 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,600 out. So, I think he's getting all that 233 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,199 um together and that the ground crew 234 00:14:05,199 --> 00:14:07,519 identified a small sinkhole at the high 235 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,920 just north of the high school. Um that 236 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,320 appeared during the heavy rainfalls and 237 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,320 the cause was traced to a a 238 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,839 decommissioned storm sewer line. Um that 239 00:14:17,839 --> 00:14:19,519 was being addressed by the contractor 240 00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:21,279 who was originally responsible for 241 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:23,440 capping that. So, I think that that 242 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,000 should all be taken care of. And then 243 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,680 director Kurt Jason um joined our 244 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,079 facilities meeting and met the 245 00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:34,079 committee. So that was nice to see his 246 00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:36,399 face on there. Um Dan also attended that 247 00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:40,399 last meeting before he left. So and then 248 00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:42,160 like I said the tenfold contact track 249 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,680 will be on there. And then I talked a 250 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,240 little bit about our American Tower or 251 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,880 Verizon um cell tower lease that's 252 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,639 located at the high school. And so in 253 00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:56,000 2030, our um lease agreement with them 254 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,399 expires. And so we're we're working kind 255 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,600 of ahead on trying to um get a new lease 256 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,160 in place for that. Um they had 257 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,639 approached us with purchasing an 258 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:08,639 easement or purchasing the land around 259 00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:10,000 it that we would have, you know, no 260 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,480 control over, 261 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,160 you know, what would go on there and so 262 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,079 on. And so, um Director Addie wasn't 263 00:15:16,079 --> 00:15:18,959 really interested in that approach. And 264 00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:21,040 so now we're working on terms for a new 265 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,880 lease.
