1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,960
There's no public. Okay, something. A

2
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,660
name, thank you for joining us. We're glad you're here. The board meeting

3
00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:27,300
I'm asking the school district will now come to order. The time is 6 o'clock and and the board members are present.

4
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:29,220
We've set board members party.

5
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,240
Our pledge allegiance and our veterans will both be led to pay by breaking the law. I

6
00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:26,690
want to share a little bit about the

7
00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:35,050
across many cultures, light has been used as a simple hope, goodness, wisdom, truth, and guidance.

8
00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:38,270
Light helps us see what we might otherwise miss.

9
00:01:38,810 --> 00:01:41,290
It helps us find our way when the path is uncertain.

10
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:45,190
Even a small light can make a significant difference in the dark room.

11
00:01:46,050 --> 00:01:50,450
There is something important about the fact that light does not have to be barged to useful.

12
00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:53,250
Light can also be shared with how it can be smaller,

13
00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:58,670
but one candle lights another, the first candle is just a bright, and the room is become bright.

14
00:01:59,630 --> 00:02:04,550
Each of us comes with different experiences, perspectives, rosmos abilities, and ideas.

15
00:02:05,290 --> 00:02:08,210
A little not always agree, and we should not expect this will.

16
00:02:08,990 --> 00:02:12,930
Our differences can help us see things that we may not see in our own.

17
00:02:13,710 --> 00:02:17,570
When we listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and see to understand,

18
00:02:17,570 --> 00:02:19,970
and rather than simply to persuade,

19
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:22,710
we've created an opportunity for greater wisdom.

20
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:25,550
Most importantly, the decisions that we make

21
00:02:25,550 --> 00:02:27,310
have a impact beyond this room.

22
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:30,750
They affect classrooms, teachers, families,

23
00:02:31,010 --> 00:02:32,450
and most importantly, the students

24
00:02:32,450 --> 00:02:34,170
sitting in our schools every day.

25
00:02:34,850 --> 00:02:36,230
Sometimes the impact about decisions

26
00:02:36,230 --> 00:02:37,790
may be audit, obvious.

27
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:40,830
Other times, they may be seen only in the life

28
00:02:40,830 --> 00:02:42,650
of one student who gains confidence.

29
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:46,050
One teacher who feels supported for one child

30
00:02:46,050 --> 00:02:48,150
with who discovered new possibilities for the future.

31
00:02:49,130 --> 00:02:50,130
So maybe again tonight,

32
00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:51,730
they were remembered the opportunity

33
00:02:51,730 --> 00:02:54,830
that we have to be a source of life to our community.

34
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,160
Thank you very much.

35
00:03:00,620 --> 00:03:03,920
We now have up to 30 minutes to set aside for public comment,

36
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:05,700
but we have no sign up,

37
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:07,820
so we will move to your team business.

38
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:11,020
We'll move over to the side of our team business

39
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:14,960
and be a political audience from the August 27th,

40
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,540
26th session and board meeting.

41
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,960
Do we have emotions to

42
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,960
approve the minutes

43
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,120
from our audience?

44
00:03:38,140 --> 00:03:39,960
We have emotions from Board Member Bonner

45
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,760
and a second from Board Member Feeler

46
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,260
to approve the minutes from the August 27th,

47
00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:47,760
2026th session and board meeting.

48
00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:49,100
Is there any discussion?

49
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,140
Seeing none, we will vote.

50
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,200
All in favor of approving the minutes

51
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,020
from the August 27th, 2026th session and board meeting.

52
00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:03,100
I'm saying I, but I'm posting them.

53
00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:05,920
The other one he has been in Annis.

54
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:10,100
We'll now move to the team business, Dr. Virginia.

55
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,860
Yes, in your board docs you received the essential

56
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:18,000
consent report and claims, as well as the standard

57
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,300
enrollment report that were born before was dated

58
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:23,040
August 30th, 2026.

59
00:04:23,820 --> 00:04:27,000
We would recommend you through the routine business.

60
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,950
Thank you. Do we have a motion?

61
00:04:31,410 --> 00:04:35,010
I know that we approve your business.

62
00:04:35,630 --> 00:04:38,570
We have a second. I second that.

63
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,560
Okay. We have a motion.

64
00:04:43,740 --> 00:04:44,740
Time for the number heart.

65
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:45,260
In the second.

66
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:46,760
Time for the number for us.

67
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,700
Do I approve the expenditure of each other for inclines?

68
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,940
And the enrollment report for the routine business?

69
00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:54,180
Is there any discussion?

70
00:04:56,910 --> 00:04:58,210
Seeing none, we will vote.

71
00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:01,630
On paper, ever through the routine business?

72
00:05:02,590 --> 00:05:03,350
Please say aye.

73
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:08,950
All the folks in Maryland, their voting has been unanimous and

74
00:05:12,310 --> 00:05:14,410
discussed down your studies

75
00:05:14,410 --> 00:05:20,210
and introduced our new ask-and-peek's boundary to all, together parents and pageant input.

76
00:05:21,230 --> 00:05:27,950
During that discussion when we refer to ask-and-peek's, Portrait of School, tonight we would like

77
00:05:27,950 --> 00:05:33,510
to share more information about the Portrait of School, we'll join the time order to Dr. Burkins.

78
00:05:34,270 --> 00:05:47,150
Thank you. We have some fine down in here this evening who have done a lot of work behind this and we thought we would pass the microphone to them and they could show you some of the details with regards to the course of the school.

79
00:05:47,370 --> 00:05:53,330
So with that, I'll turn the time to Mr. Web, our chief of class schools.

80
00:06:01,450 --> 00:06:05,750
We appreciate the opportunity with the community just to share a little bit about the process

81
00:06:05,750 --> 00:06:08,510
and spend a little time on portrait of school.

82
00:06:09,530 --> 00:06:14,250
I remember hard asked the question last time about what portrait of school is.

83
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:16,790
We would like to share a little bit about that.

84
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:22,630
We would like to thank our committee who has been heavily involved in these guidelines as

85
00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:25,410
we have done a lot of study and a lot of research

86
00:06:26,030 --> 00:06:28,330
on what is best for students.

87
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:31,610
Everything we present here tonight is what we as a committee

88
00:06:31,610 --> 00:06:34,790
have been out and gathered as far as what is best

89
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:37,330
for students as they attend school.

90
00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:40,410
And also like to thank some of the people here with me tonight

91
00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:42,790
David Ludlow will be presenting as well

92
00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:45,950
on specifics on the portrait of the school.

93
00:06:46,330 --> 00:06:48,290
And so we want to say thank you.

94
00:06:48,530 --> 00:06:49,970
To our community, we want to say thank you.

95
00:06:50,050 --> 00:06:52,470
We've had a lot of feedback, and it is good feedback

96
00:06:52,470 --> 00:06:58,170
We really appreciate the feedback we receive and we encourage people to continue to give us feedback.

97
00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:03,470
That feedback tool, that 100 feedback tool, will be open until October 1st.

98
00:07:04,030 --> 00:07:09,730
October 1st is a key day because that's also the day that we get official accounts at all of our schools.

99
00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:15,210
So thank you for your feedback and we encourage you to continue to give us more feedback.

100
00:07:15,910 --> 00:07:20,030
They'd love to talk a little bit about how you can do that and go through the website.

101
00:07:20,630 --> 00:07:25,430
I wanted to take just a minute and this wasn't the question it was asked last time, but

102
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:29,270
I would like to take just a minute and talk about some of the things that we're always

103
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:34,710
doing as it pertains to boundaries and how they compete a little bit with each other.

104
00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:40,290
So as you can see on the screen, we're always looking at student population and building

105
00:07:40,290 --> 00:07:45,870
passes. That's something that we're always addressing and looking at. Our

106
00:07:45,870 --> 00:07:50,270
actual numbers come in on October 1st. That's when we know the actual numbers

107
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:56,230
in each school. We do look at feeder patterns. We look at neighborhoods and

108
00:07:56,230 --> 00:08:00,290
growth trends and sometimes those are competing with each other.

109
00:08:01,070 --> 00:08:05,110
Neighborhoods, feeders, school because we have elementary, we have the

110
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:12,130
middle schools and we have our high schools. We also as we go through and look at

111
00:08:12,130 --> 00:08:16,750
additional factors we look at projections and I want to be clear that they

112
00:08:16,750 --> 00:08:24,210
are projections and we're working on projections and we do a great job and

113
00:08:24,210 --> 00:08:29,770
thank you to those of you those projections. We're not always one-hundreds an

114
00:08:29,770 --> 00:08:34,830
an actor, but we're always looking at that and looking at projections. Transportation

115
00:08:34,830 --> 00:08:41,650
is a key component, but sometimes it's hard with roles and just transporting our students

116
00:08:41,650 --> 00:08:47,070
safely and timely is a key thing. We look at future developments, we look at financial

117
00:08:47,070 --> 00:08:54,690
impact on the system and on African peaks, we look at balanced enrollments across schools,

118
00:08:54,690 --> 00:09:01,610
special programs and key long-term stability for our students. We love our

119
00:09:01,610 --> 00:09:06,970
students and we want them to feel some stability. We want them to be able to be part

120
00:09:06,970 --> 00:09:12,950
of a school, have friends, and share of that stability. And then the last thing

121
00:09:12,950 --> 00:09:17,330
I just wanted to share is we do have a capital planning committee and it has

122
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:21,890
to do the community is we're getting off the ground is asked to meet some of the

123
00:09:21,890 --> 00:09:26,190
the things our capital planning committee is going to be looking at is long-term future

124
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:31,590
growth builds, what we need to do to schools to update them, keep them going, and we're

125
00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:40,290
right in the process of getting that developed and looking at one year, five year, ten year

126
00:09:40,290 --> 00:09:44,690
plans as it comes as it contains the capital projects.

127
00:09:45,330 --> 00:09:49,210
So those are the things that we look at, and we're looking at all the time.

128
00:09:49,210 --> 00:09:57,490
last time Dr. Perkins talked about this MOAB, this boundary study, and I would just share

129
00:09:57,490 --> 00:10:03,870
an echo what he said that we are constantly looking at boundaries and studies all the

130
00:10:03,870 --> 00:10:09,990
time as to what is best or what we can do for our students.

131
00:10:10,410 --> 00:10:15,190
And with that, I'm going to let David Ludwig talk a little bit about our portrait of the

132
00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:15,530
school.

133
00:10:15,530 --> 00:10:23,390
which are guidelines. What we feel are guidelines, they help us make the best decisions possible. So what's that?

134
00:10:25,250 --> 00:10:30,610
Thank you, Doug. And I'd just like to echo some of your gratitude that Doug shared first to you guys. Thanks for giving us the time and space.

135
00:10:31,290 --> 00:10:39,570
So look at boundaries to set up a strong ask for peace as we come upon it. And then to our committee, we have several stakeholders involved in our committee,

136
00:10:40,510 --> 00:10:44,630
principal supervisors and mentors in the community, so a big shout out and a big

137
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:48,410
year. And then once again, thank you for the feedback that we're getting. It's

138
00:10:48,410 --> 00:10:53,130
coming through when it's impactful, and it will help us inform our decisions. As we

139
00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:58,070
look to the website, this is our portrait of a thriving school. And as I've

140
00:10:58,070 --> 00:11:02,230
mentioned, this is an online for us to use as we go about boundary changes and as we

141
00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:07,450
consider decisions that will impact kids, this is kind of our guideline for making

142
00:11:07,450 --> 00:11:12,090
those decisions. First of all, as we look at fairness, balancing priorities,

143
00:11:12,450 --> 00:11:15,430
preventing overcrowding and under-utilizations and then protecting

144
00:11:15,430 --> 00:11:19,290
student transitions, you have to realize that there are

145
00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:22,150
competitive priorities when you adjust one thing it has an

146
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:26,390
impact on the other. And so we want to not try lightly but be mindful of the

147
00:11:26,390 --> 00:11:29,710
decisions we're making and the impacts they have on other areas

148
00:11:29,710 --> 00:11:32,910
on the one. The website has two main areas,

149
00:11:32,910 --> 00:11:40,790
elementary and middle and junior high as

150
00:11:43,030 --> 00:11:45,330
we look at elementary when we were

151
00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:52,590
serving patrons and principals and supervisors they gave us areas student

152
00:11:52,590 --> 00:11:56,570
populations and we put those in three different areas small medium and large

153
00:11:56,570 --> 00:12:02,070
schools that has a large to do with building capacity but also we take any

154
00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:05,510
consideration to your collaboration teams, how many teachers

155
00:12:05,510 --> 00:12:09,310
heard level in the app so that they have effective collaboration

156
00:12:09,310 --> 00:12:10,630
partners on their teams.

157
00:12:11,170 --> 00:12:14,050
And then also offering such a specialty in advanced learning

158
00:12:14,050 --> 00:12:14,470
teams.

159
00:12:15,210 --> 00:12:17,090
Those same things apply to the secondary.

160
00:12:17,710 --> 00:12:18,670
We're talking junior high.

161
00:12:19,470 --> 00:12:23,350
Those numbers really come down to a single range.

162
00:12:24,010 --> 00:12:26,530
In the junior high level, they were thinking 10, 50,

163
00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:30,250
to 8, 100, 10, 50 to 8, 100 is a more comfortable range,

164
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:35,650
where underneath 1015, you have some constraints

165
00:12:35,650 --> 00:12:37,790
with support staff and collaboration teams

166
00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:39,990
and then above 1800, you have constraints

167
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:41,170
that are building the capacity

168
00:12:41,170 --> 00:12:43,410
and then just advancing with those supports.

169
00:12:47,510 --> 00:12:51,610
On the secondary level, much like specialty for elementary,

170
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:54,230
we wanna make sure that we have comprehensive offerings

171
00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:56,590
for those secondary students in the team now

172
00:12:56,590 --> 00:12:59,550
and being within this portrait of school

173
00:12:59,550 --> 00:13:01,870
ensures that we can offer those to those students.

174
00:13:01,870 --> 00:13:04,630
And then, finally, we don't want to forget about high school.

175
00:13:05,230 --> 00:13:07,130
We are not forgetting about high school.

176
00:13:07,310 --> 00:13:11,090
Our main efforts have been about elementary and secondary, but that doesn't mean that

177
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:12,210
high school is not important.

178
00:13:12,650 --> 00:13:18,670
We will continue to monitor boundaries and enrollments and support that we cannot put in those

179
00:13:18,670 --> 00:13:19,010
high schools.

180
00:13:19,570 --> 00:13:20,350
Here's to URL.

181
00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:25,930
You can access this truly as-and-peak white page.

182
00:13:26,710 --> 00:13:31,210
And then, on that same white page on the homepage, you can actually find a boundary feedback

183
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:39,350
This would be one final invitation to please, if you have an opinion, an idea, if you have something

184
00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:43,110
that you'd like to worry about, sort of raise awareness with us, please click on the

185
00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:48,390
boundary feedback tool, and what that will do is bring up a survey, and you can give us some

186
00:13:48,910 --> 00:13:53,150
ideas and feedback through the survey, it will be open through October 1st, and it will take

187
00:13:53,150 --> 00:13:58,010
a deep identity feedback, and then use that to inform our decisions in companionship with

188
00:13:58,010 --> 00:13:58,810
Dr. Ruhlian.

189
00:13:59,290 --> 00:14:01,550
And with that, also the Dr. Dr. Herbins.

190
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,300
Thank you, Dr. Ludwig.

191
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,320
We appreciate all of your work here as well as all work waiting.

192
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Was that a good night?

193
00:14:13,580 --> 00:14:14,520
That's what we have to show you.

194
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,360
All right.

195
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:15,900
Thank you.

196
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,220
Does anyone on the board have any questions or questions about that?

197
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,440
I just want to ask one.

198
00:14:30,530 --> 00:14:35,810
Thank you for putting that up on our website and clearly showing us how to find it.

199
00:14:35,810 --> 00:14:39,450
It's some of us need that clear explanation on the planet.

200
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:41,950
But I don't, I can't believe

201
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:53,700
it.

202
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,780
Is that a common misconception is that a smaller school.

203
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
But automatically make smaller class sizes. But that is not a direct correlation. In fact, in smaller schools, as you alluded to, I can't have the optimal programs and classes that. Oh, my goodness, that we would like to offer. So I appreciate all of the settings information we would invite the public to use these

204
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:41,830
next two weeks before October 1st to please give us your feedback. Thank you. All right,

205
00:15:42,090 --> 00:15:48,530
we will look to board member as superintendent reports and information. I

206
00:15:54,450 --> 00:15:56,230
don't know if the

207
00:15:56,230 --> 00:16:02,230
general public is aware of this, but I just wanted to put a plug in for our Unified Soccer

208
00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:09,570
tournament next week. We have Unified Sources for our special needs students and it combines

209
00:16:09,570 --> 00:16:16,770
our special needs students with their peer, what do you call it, their peer teachers, I

210
00:16:16,770 --> 00:16:22,210
guess? I don't know. On the team and then they compete against other teams and it is the

211
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:29,170
funnest experience to go watch them. And they do basketball and they do soccer and I think

212
00:16:32,030 --> 00:16:39,470
And so one of the things that's awesome is to get to go to these tournaments and kind of see the different teams play and they have such a great time.

213
00:16:39,770 --> 00:16:43,310
Anyway, they love to have spectators come and watch and share them on.

214
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:54,150
And so I just wanted to put out there that Unified Soccer is to the notice high school next Thursday the 17th from 10-30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

215
00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:59,990
anybody who wants to go can go and you can watch and share them on. And it's really fun to go.

216
00:17:00,430 --> 00:17:11,250
So, if that is within your ability with your calendar next week, I highly recommend checking it out because it's really fun to watch and they have a great time.

217
00:17:11,690 --> 00:17:14,030
So, just something out of it that I would recommend.

218
00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:23,330
And thank you to all of our special ed teachers that are making this possible because it is a huge undertaking also.

219
00:17:23,330 --> 00:17:27,150
and it's an awesome, it's an awesome experience.

220
00:17:30,690 --> 00:17:34,270
I'd like to make your report too, and I go to what Amber said

221
00:17:34,270 --> 00:17:37,770
I went to that last year and it's one of the funnest days

222
00:17:37,770 --> 00:17:38,710
you can go to.

223
00:17:38,990 --> 00:17:40,110
Truth on every team.

224
00:17:41,330 --> 00:17:42,710
But I also want to make an announcement

225
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:47,190
that the State of Utah has a really exciting essay

226
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:51,630
competition and what it is is the opportunity for high school

227
00:17:51,630 --> 00:17:55,450
students in grades 10 through 12 to write an essay

228
00:17:55,450 --> 00:18:02,010
about future AI policy and there will be one winner from each of the 29 Senate

229
00:18:02,010 --> 00:18:08,290
districts across Smootown. There's cash prizes between the $1,250 for those

230
00:18:08,290 --> 00:18:13,950
essays and ultimately one one student from each Senate district will go to the

231
00:18:13,950 --> 00:18:19,930
Policy Congress at the Capitol in November and have the opportunity to work

232
00:18:19,930 --> 00:18:24,350
together to craft some of the policies they'll recommend to the legislature.

233
00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:30,630
And this is really designed to get our youth and our students involved in how they'd like

234
00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:32,810
to see AI being used.

235
00:18:33,050 --> 00:18:37,350
You know, there are so many different positions and different opinions on that.

236
00:18:37,890 --> 00:18:43,630
And so we're really trying to get everyone involved that said like for that, like our boundary

237
00:18:43,630 --> 00:18:45,290
tool is also up to refers.

238
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:52,310
I know my particular board see covers all four high schools, so I sent information to each

239
00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:57,050
principal of those high schools and so you know if you want more information

240
00:18:57,050 --> 00:19:02,250
if you know about my Facebook page or talk to your administrators and I'm

241
00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:06,370
happy to answer any other questions that I would love to see so many students

242
00:19:06,370 --> 00:19:10,570
involved I think all of the essays will be considered in the ultimate policies.

243
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:30,160
Yeah I was sick. I was sick a moment to express gratitude not only to outman

244
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,320
school district but all the employees outman school district for a great

245
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:41,620
the school leader is up and going and we greatly appreciate all the work that is going into making that happen.

246
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:46,040
We want to be very clear that we honor the whole day and the year of our high school district.

247
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,980
We appreciate so much that we're doing.

248
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:55,480
We have started visiting the elementary schools of the board that needs to get to know.

249
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,960
And that will be working through those visits over the next month.

250
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:04,760
But we're just really ready for all the basic employees to take care of the kids every day.

251
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,840
I and As there's no further business, do we have a motion to adjourn?

252
00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:16,450
I move to adjourn.

253
00:20:17,170 --> 00:20:18,690
We have a second.

254
00:20:22,110 --> 00:20:25,970
Excuse me. We have a motion for the board member grammar and this attention for the board member.

255
00:20:26,110 --> 00:20:28,730
We are adjourned. All in favor say aye.

256
00:20:29,550 --> 00:20:29,610
Aye.

257
00:20:33,730 --> 00:20:37,510
We are now adjourned at 6.20 p.m.
