1
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:19,370
Order of business is agenda approval. Do I have a motion to approve tonight's agenda?

2
00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:23,030
So moved. Is there a second? Second.

3
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:29,170
All right, we'll vote by roll call to approve tonight's agenda.

4
00:02:31,090 --> 00:02:37,490
And Director Allenburg, we're going to have, while they work on your sound, we're just going to have to have you give us a thumbs up.

5
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:37,730
Okay,

6
00:02:45,070 --> 00:02:46,530
here comes up,

7
00:02:51,610 --> 00:03:03,610
I, I, I, I, all right, but vote of seven to zero, the motion passes and tonight agenda is approved.

8
00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:14,890
The first item on our agenda tonight is we are have an excellence in action that features e-dina high schools concert band and their talented director Paul Kyle.

9
00:03:14,890 --> 00:03:19,090
And so tonight's speakers include Senior Brook,

10
00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:22,550
Put Long, Senior Writhwick,

11
00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:28,110
Canch, Canch, Contraella, Senior Sophie Nason,

12
00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:30,770
Senior Ethan Trailer, and sophomore

13
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:33,610
Eliana, Listen, and Director Paul Kyle.

14
00:03:34,310 --> 00:03:36,350
Welcome, and thank you for joining us this evening.

15
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:38,610
Good evening, and thank you so much

16
00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:41,410
for the opportunity to be here tonight to visit with you.

17
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:43,390
As you know, my name is Paul Kyle director of

18
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:47,430
I did in high school, and I have wonderful students with me.

19
00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:53,490
We just wanted to take a moment and share with you a few of the very exciting things going on in the band program.

20
00:03:54,290 --> 00:03:57,910
We recognize you are as busy people as we are.

21
00:03:58,210 --> 00:04:01,590
And sometimes don't have the opportunity to attend band events or

22
00:04:01,590 --> 00:04:04,210
might not even be aware of all the things that are going on.

23
00:04:04,490 --> 00:04:08,130
Because it feels like there's always so many moving parts in our band program.

24
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:12,050
So we thought we'd come tonight and highlight just a few of those things.

25
00:04:13,510 --> 00:04:18,050
Before we share some of what we have been up to, I would be remiss in this opportunity

26
00:04:18,050 --> 00:04:24,190
if I didn't share with you that what we do in the band program every day is grounded

27
00:04:24,190 --> 00:04:29,090
in building the durable skills that prepare young people for life, or what we might refer

28
00:04:29,090 --> 00:04:32,570
to here in Edina as the portrait of a well-rounded graduate.

29
00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:38,290
The reason I mention this is because these are not just skills the students simply learn about,

30
00:04:38,290 --> 00:04:43,070
but actually practice day in and day out through their participation in band.

31
00:04:43,490 --> 00:04:48,150
Whether it's expressing creativity, thinking, innovatively being effective communicators and

32
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:52,710
collaborators, we're simply operating in a responsible and engaged way.

33
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:58,410
These are durable skills that we practice every day simply because we have to in order to

34
00:04:58,410 --> 00:04:59,770
make the band class work.

35
00:05:00,230 --> 00:05:05,310
And it excites me that the same skills that we use to make band class work will set these

36
00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:07,150
students up for success later in life.

37
00:05:07,150 --> 00:05:12,250
And they also just happened to fulfill Eidine's mission of producing well-rounded graduates.

38
00:05:15,250 --> 00:05:20,890
So, it has been incredibly busy for the band program this year, but it's all been good and wildly exciting.

39
00:05:21,410 --> 00:05:28,910
I first wanted to share with you an event that we did way back in November when the Eidine Jazz won collaborated with the Concerto Dance Company

40
00:05:28,910 --> 00:05:32,510
and performed in their dance series at the Bloomington Arts Center.

41
00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:42,330
The band performed music from the famous Duke Ellington swing and not cracker sweet and we were in the pit in the performing arts center providing the live music for the dancers.

42
00:05:43,070 --> 00:05:50,950
I could tell you more because it was really an excited but instead I'm going to have one of our jazz members that was in the pit share with you her thoughts Sophie.

43
00:05:54,340 --> 00:06:02,340
Hi everyone, I'm Sophie and I play trumpet in jazz one playing with the Bloomington art center was so fun because we got to bring our band to the real world and make a lasting memory.

44
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:08,900
It surprised me how many dancers and members of the audience came up to us after us and told us how amazing it was to have live music.

45
00:06:09,260 --> 00:06:14,240
Playing in a pit was a great experience and I'm so happy we had the opportunity to share music and love for the arts.

46
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,380
Thank you.

47
00:06:19,770 --> 00:06:27,850
Shortly after that, the Edina concert band went to Chicago and performed at the world's most famous gathering of bands and band educators.

48
00:06:27,850 --> 00:06:31,750
the Midwest clinic. Now I should share with you the last time the

49
00:06:31,750 --> 00:06:37,810
Dynoban was at Midwest was 1960 under the band legend Butler Idol. We

50
00:06:37,810 --> 00:06:41,230
presented a session with Dr. Timothy Mar, who is the conductor emeritus of

51
00:06:41,230 --> 00:06:46,070
St. Olaf College, playing several of his works to a packed house. People from

52
00:06:46,070 --> 00:06:50,470
all over the United States and the world were in attendance and it was both an

53
00:06:50,470 --> 00:06:55,330
honor and a pleasure to present on that global stage representing Dynoban. Again,

54
00:06:55,330 --> 00:06:56,890
I could tell you more about this event,

55
00:06:56,990 --> 00:06:58,890
but I have two students who performed at Midwest

56
00:06:58,890 --> 00:07:02,030
here to give you their perspectives on this historic event.

57
00:07:02,190 --> 00:07:04,090
First, we'll be with Writwick and then Ethan.

58
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Hello, as you guys heard, my name's Writwick

59
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:13,820
and I play Trombone and during that presentation,

60
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,720
it was incredible to meet all these people

61
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,320
from in an international space, is huge

62
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,040
and having all these eyes on you.

63
00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:24,340
It kind of builds that pressure,

64
00:07:24,860 --> 00:07:27,420
but it also teaches you to really listen to yourself

65
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:29,300
and see what other people would be listening to it.

66
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,820
As well. Apart from the presentation,

67
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:44,420
it was just a completely different way of working with music. Normally for concerts, we're just playing song and song and song.

68
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:57,740
But this was a completely new way to work with music because we were working with Timothy Mar and how he flows and trying to incorporate ourselves into his flow, which I think is a really important skill to learn as a band student.

69
00:07:57,740 --> 00:08:04,200
And now, apart from the presentation, the whole clinic itself was really awesome.

70
00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:09,760
We got to listen to a band from Forty High School, who are down in Texas, who have an incredible

71
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,680
music program.

72
00:08:12,180 --> 00:08:17,300
And they played music that our program can play, but they played it in a way with incredible

73
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:18,180
intonation.

74
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:24,220
And that just taught me a lot because anyone could play the music, but to have that listening,

75
00:08:24,220 --> 00:08:31,480
the power to just listen to each other and have that concise, same equal tone is changed the entire way

76
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,220
that whole band sounded and it was just like changing.

77
00:08:38,450 --> 00:08:39,670
You know what I'm talking about the trombones?

78
00:08:39,970 --> 00:08:40,410
Oh, okay.

79
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:49,510
At the clinic, there is a huge section for different manufacturers to advertise their instruments.

80
00:08:50,050 --> 00:08:54,590
And I got to try a bunch of trombones. I've never heard of a wrath trombone before.

81
00:08:54,590 --> 00:08:57,750
And I just immediately fell in love with it.

82
00:08:57,970 --> 00:09:00,950
It felt amazing, you sounded amazing on it,

83
00:09:01,330 --> 00:09:03,490
and you just felt, it was great.

84
00:09:04,450 --> 00:09:06,710
But the price wasn't great, but just to know that.

85
00:09:08,010 --> 00:09:12,550
Just to know how important instruments are as well,

86
00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:15,030
and just to get to try things you never get to try

87
00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:18,310
normally by just going to Schmidt back in Bloomington.

88
00:09:21,690 --> 00:09:24,630
My name's Ethan, I play clarinet in concert band.

89
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:28,710
And for me, Midwest showed me how expansive and immersive

90
00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:32,070
conducting and playing the world can be.

91
00:09:32,430 --> 00:09:35,950
And I actually entered a raffle and managed to win a free piece of music

92
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:38,990
for my band, which will be playing in the spring.

93
00:09:39,470 --> 00:09:42,190
It was an amazing experience and I would absolutely do it again.

94
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:52,400
We then turned our attention to presenting at the 2026 Minnesota Music Educators Conference

95
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,060
as we were selected through a rigorous audition to be able to perform.

96
00:09:56,060 --> 00:10:02,020
Being selected to perform is an honor in and of itself, and it would have been amazing to have performed,

97
00:10:02,380 --> 00:10:04,980
but it'll last the in-person conference was cancelled.

98
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:11,200
Despite being cancelled, the band poured their hearts and souls into some absolutely amazing music

99
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,820
and to tell you more about it is one of our concert band members Brooke.

100
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,060
Hi, I'm Brooke. I'm a clarinet and concert band.

101
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:27,500
So yes, I was cancelled this year, but the preparation for the music taught my classmates and I a great deal.

102
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:34,700
I personally have private lessons with Karen Muffert Nelson, and she was doing a solo with us for that concert.

103
00:10:34,980 --> 00:10:38,980
So I got to play alongside her and learn the solo with her, which was kind of fun.

104
00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:45,220
But I think MMEA would have connected our concert band to amazing professional players, just like Karen.

105
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:54,980
We're going to play some exciting pieces, Roma, Crescent Moon Dance La Forza, and then what would have been the world premiere of Tiny Abstract Paintings.

106
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:00,260
I think Chris and Moon Dance would have been a really great piece of play and the audience would have enjoyed it.

107
00:11:00,380 --> 00:11:08,020
It followed a TV show with a girl who is also preparing for her concert band performances, which I think is really unique.

108
00:11:09,220 --> 00:11:14,300
Fortunately, we did get to play for, like, conference bands for the last time, which is really nice.

109
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:19,480
And then the last week, I think Donna Donaldson, who I've added to the call of conference

110
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,080
by Mason.

111
00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:21,300
You've never been heard before.

112
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:26,260
Or by signing any abstracting things, over all of us in the internet that we didn't

113
00:11:26,260 --> 00:11:26,600
have played.

114
00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:31,240
And then again, about preparation, we're learning, experiencing health and I'm really

115
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,040
really glad you're doing this.

116
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:43,960
And just so you don't think that it's only the concert band or the top level bands that

117
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,980
do all this stuff.

118
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,660
Tomorrow night, the 10th grade band will take this stage for their March music and our

119
00:11:49,660 --> 00:11:55,960
school's month concert and give the world premiere of a brand new piece by composer Joanne Harris

120
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,560
called Portages of Time. In the process the piece was actually inspired by words and videos

121
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:07,280
from our students that gave Joanne the impetus for the piece so to hear to tell you about that

122
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,520
experience is Iliana.

123
00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:16,100
Hello, my name is Eliana and I play clarinet also in the 10th grade band

124
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:20,960
and I think I can speak from the entire 10th grade band when I say that working on this new piece

125
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,900
of time has been like an amazing process.

126
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:26,800
Every one of the band students in the 10th grade band

127
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,540
got to share their ideas on what they think the piece

128
00:12:30,540 --> 00:12:31,360
should be about.

129
00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:34,680
And honestly, it just makes saying this piece so much more

130
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:36,180
meaningful and cool.

131
00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:40,980
And the fact that us as 10th graders can produce like this

132
00:12:40,980 --> 00:12:43,980
to play this world premiering piece is just so cool

133
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:45,960
in such an amazing opportunity.

134
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,820
I think we have all grown and learned so much as musicians

135
00:12:49,820 --> 00:12:55,440
sharing this work. It is hard and I think we all worked so hard and I'm so proud of all of us.

136
00:12:56,300 --> 00:13:00,540
And here's so excited to share this piece, not only with our audience tomorrow night,

137
00:13:00,940 --> 00:13:04,380
but with every band across the world that does this piece in the future.

138
00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:15,800
And the most important part of tonight's visit, however, is the opportunity for me to personally

139
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,540
say thank you to all of you for everything you do to support our Adina Band program. I know I

140
00:13:21,540 --> 00:13:25,920
should be coming more frequently and saying thank you a lot more often, but I'm just

141
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,200
been a little busy this year with all these things going on. But we are truly truly

142
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:36,360
grateful for all the support and in turn we try to do everything we can do to exemplify

143
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,580
excellence in our band program whether at our locally dina concerts on a state level like

144
00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:47,020
MMA or on a national or international level. In fact next year we'll flex our muscles a

145
00:13:47,020 --> 00:13:51,420
little bit more internationally as it is a concert band two year and we look forward to being

146
00:13:51,420 --> 00:13:57,320
ambassadors for Minnesota, any Diana. So on behalf of these students and the entire band program,

147
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,240
we wanted to say thank you by giving you a stand-in elevation on your feet.

148
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,520
Well thank you and I will turn it over to board members to see if they have any questions but I know

149
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:18,320
there's an important other member of your band community that's stuck in there behind you with Miss Lungred.

150
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:21,120
Do you want to introduce her in her role?

151
00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:28,120
This is our hero pro and we use the pro word not lightly. She's our band paraprofessional

152
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,560
in the band office and what I call essential nervous system of the band program.

153
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:42,610
All right, band members or board members. Sorry, I wish we didn't have, I wish we were a band.

154
00:14:43,690 --> 00:14:47,290
Board members, what questions do you have for our musicians?

155
00:14:49,580 --> 00:14:50,500
I have a quick one.

156
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,240
So when you meet all these wonderful people from outside the state of Minnesota,

157
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,340
How do you educate them on how to say Eidana?

158
00:15:00,050 --> 00:15:16,910
That is a serious question. We have been mispronounced so many times. Yeah, and we try to do it without invoking any shame, which is this, we call it e-dinos versus e-dina, where the other permutations that come. Yeah, especially in Europe, e-dinos come up a lot.

159
00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:28,750
Well, and you were very gracious to think us, but he's know that it's really the other way around that, you know, when you talk about looking after the excellence that we want to have any dino.

160
00:15:28,750 --> 00:15:36,130
I mean, look at the band program and we look at all students and how we want to make them live up to their potential and exceed that potential of possible.

161
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:39,270
What a portion of a graduate looks like and so on and so forth.

162
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:47,690
Everything you guys just did in this presentation demonstrates all of that because you're well spoken, you're well fought through your emotion about what you're also speaking on just on your behalf.

163
00:15:47,930 --> 00:15:53,010
But on behalf of all of your other members of the band who are not here tonight to do that, you represent them quite well.

164
00:15:53,570 --> 00:15:58,710
So really, it's thank you from us to you for doing such a wonderful job in taking this great opportunity.

165
00:15:58,710 --> 00:16:01,230
that is before you and running with it,

166
00:16:01,290 --> 00:16:01,990
so it's full extent.

167
00:16:02,290 --> 00:16:03,750
So thank you to all of you at Mr. Cal.

168
00:16:04,090 --> 00:16:05,550
It's always, thank you.

169
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:11,040
Yes, thank you for coming this evening,

170
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,140
and thank you for all you do.

171
00:16:12,140 --> 00:16:14,640
Music is such a heart of what we do here in Dinah,

172
00:16:14,980 --> 00:16:18,020
and some any time we get to hear about what you're up to.

173
00:16:19,220 --> 00:16:20,180
It's always a treat.

174
00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:22,680
Director Alan Burke, did you want to say something

175
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:23,360
or were you just waving?

176
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,480
Can you ask hear me?

177
00:16:26,460 --> 00:16:27,260
Not really.

178
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,900
She says, thank you.

179
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:38,040
I'm impressed. As a band, as a band parent, I love it and I was in Chicago with you, right, Erika?

180
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,080
All right. Thank you. Would you, would you do us the honor of having your picture taken with us?

181
00:16:45,060 --> 00:16:45,820
Would love to, yeah.

182
00:18:16,580 --> 00:18:20,900
Okay. Okay. Next up on our agenda is hearing from members of the public,

183
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:27,940
and this evening we do not have anyone that has registered to speak to us, so we will continue to move on.

184
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:33,580
Before I get to the consent agenda, I want to, Dr. Bootman, is there anything that you would like to mention about the agenda?

185
00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:40,740
Yeah, I would recommend that we pull the information, particularly around the A&I programming and budget.

186
00:18:40,980 --> 00:18:44,520
The budget does not need to be approved by the school board at this time.

187
00:18:44,900 --> 00:18:50,000
And we will be bringing that back for various amendments throughout the year, perhaps just for your information.

188
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,680
The committee of the group, the parents, the individuals,

189
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,020
are actually meeting this week and some of the recommendations in

190
00:19:00,020 --> 00:19:03,160
pan and so we want to make sure that they have an opportunity to weigh in on

191
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,880
that. So we would just ask that we bring that back at a

192
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,180
later time. Great. So do because we've approved that I think I need to

193
00:19:11,180 --> 00:19:15,520
make a motion to remove that. All right board members can I get a

194
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:21,860
motion to remove the A and I budget and report from tonight's board

195
00:19:21,860 --> 00:19:28,380
packet. So move. Is there a second? Second. We'll now vote by roll call to remove it from

196
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:29,160
tonight's agenda.

197
00:19:35,220 --> 00:19:41,560
Erica, you approve it? Thank you. Aye. Aye.

198
00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:48,260
Motion passes and the ANI budget and plan

199
00:19:48,260 --> 00:19:53,820
a remove from tonight's agenda. We are moving on to our consent agenda. Is there anything

200
00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:57,300
anyone would like to remove from tonight's consent agenda.

201
00:20:00,510 --> 00:20:00,690
All right.

202
00:20:01,650 --> 00:20:04,470
Do we will now vote to approve the consent agenda?

203
00:20:05,610 --> 00:20:07,870
First of all, do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda?

204
00:20:08,010 --> 00:20:08,410
So move.

205
00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:09,510
Is there a second?

206
00:20:10,850 --> 00:20:12,230
Red men and men.

207
00:20:12,930 --> 00:20:13,030
Of.

208
00:20:13,250 --> 00:20:17,010
We will vote by roll call to approve tonight's consent agenda.

209
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,360
Director Alan Burke.

210
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:22,100
Hi.

211
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:24,140
Hi.

212
00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:25,260
Hi.

213
00:20:25,940 --> 00:20:26,400
Hi.

214
00:20:27,020 --> 00:20:27,280
Hi.

215
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:54,080
Right. The consent agenda has been approved. Moving on to our discussion items. Our first item for discussion tonight is a continuation of the conversation we had at last month's work session around our K-12 mathematics curriculum review process and we have a special guest this evening Mark Carlson, who is the district's K-12 math and science coordinator. Welcome Mr Carlson.

216
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:54,900
Thank

217
00:20:58,780 --> 00:20:59,940
you for having me.

218
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,200
Chair Gabler, Dr. Bitman, members of the board.

219
00:21:03,940 --> 00:21:05,860
Following our productive work session last month,

220
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,260
we are pleased to return to present findings

221
00:21:08,260 --> 00:21:10,200
and recommendations for our comprehensive

222
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,920
K-12 mathematics curriculum review.

223
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,160
As we discussed previously, this review was driven

224
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,980
by the 2022 Minnesota academic standards,

225
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,740
which prioritized a balanced approach

226
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:24,900
of conceptual understanding, procedural fluency,

227
00:21:25,180 --> 00:21:26,280
and real-world applications.

228
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,680
Our goal tonight is to move these recommendations forward to ensure each and every

229
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:37,380
dentist student has the tools to become a confident, critical, thinker, and problem-solver

230
00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:40,020
with a strong foundation in mathematics.

231
00:21:41,020 --> 00:21:45,840
Grounded in our court belief of professional excellence, this process involved two distinct

232
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,920
design teams of educators who conducted a thorough audit of our current reality, studied

233
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,660
the latest research-based best practices,

234
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:58,720
explored curricula resources to meet the needs of the Dynastunce.

235
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960
Some key findings are review identified

236
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,780
that while our students' proficiency remains strong,

237
00:22:05,140 --> 00:22:08,860
there's a need for resources that offer better scaffolding,

238
00:22:08,980 --> 00:22:11,980
student engagement, and vertical alignment across our system.

239
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,280
To address these needs, we are recommending the following.

240
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,360
At the elementary level, the adoption of amplified

241
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:27,000
It is built on a research backed, illustrative mathematics, framework, and uses low-floor

242
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,680
high-sealing tasks to engage all learners.

243
00:22:30,430 --> 00:22:37,410
At the secondary level, imagine I am, because this is also used in illustrative mathematics and ensures

244
00:22:37,410 --> 00:22:45,650
us see what's vertical alignment. Finally, instructional shifts, these resources move our classroom's

245
00:22:45,650 --> 00:22:51,390
fourth-day model, where students are active sense-makers and problem-solvers, rather than passive recipients of

246
00:22:51,390 --> 00:22:58,250
information. Implementation and budget, the timeline we planned to begin is a phased implementation

247
00:22:58,250 --> 00:23:02,990
with the 2627 school year, starting with early implemented teams at the

248
00:23:02,990 --> 00:23:07,690
elementary level on four core courses at the secondary level. From a budget

249
00:23:07,690 --> 00:23:12,090
period standpoint, we are still currently active in active negotiations with

250
00:23:12,090 --> 00:23:16,650
both Amplify and Imagine. The total anticipating capital expenditure is

251
00:23:16,650 --> 00:23:20,710
approximately $1.6 million, with additional funding for professional

252
00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:25,350
development and consumable materials over the next eight years. The

253
00:23:25,350 --> 00:23:31,830
recommendation in this report reflect a unified vision for rigorous and engaging mathematics instruction

254
00:23:31,830 --> 00:23:36,970
designed to meet the diverse needs of all of our students. Thank you, and I'm happy to take your

255
00:23:36,970 --> 00:23:43,680
questions at this time. Thank you, Mr. Carlson. Board members, what questions do you have?

256
00:23:51,850 --> 00:23:56,870
I had a couple. So some of these I brought up in the work session last week. Last month,

257
00:23:56,990 --> 00:24:03,750
so I just wanted to bring them here to our board meeting. I know we talked a lot about how literacy

258
00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:09,130
has been such a big push for our district, a big lift and we really have some great outcomes

259
00:24:09,130 --> 00:24:15,730
to show for that. And as we look at the opportunity to tackle these new state standards in

260
00:24:15,730 --> 00:24:21,710
math we talked about as a district really leaning into that and maybe having further conversations

261
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:28,330
at the administrative level in terms of if there's additional resources and committing to that work

262
00:24:28,330 --> 00:24:34,130
supporting our teachers and our students. So I look forward to as we move through this maybe

263
00:24:34,130 --> 00:24:37,670
having some more of those conversations as a board.

264
00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:45,870
And then I think that was I think oh the

265
00:24:45,870 --> 00:24:52,390
other um the factors that you laid out in the current reality in your report are there responses

266
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:59,810
or recommendations that you anticipate making beyond the new curriculum and the compacted

267
00:24:59,810 --> 00:25:02,430
algebra redesign that we've talked about.

268
00:25:02,530 --> 00:25:04,390
There were things in there, for instance,

269
00:25:05,230 --> 00:25:07,930
the teachers mentioned how much phones can become

270
00:25:07,930 --> 00:25:10,290
a distraction, especially for kids that are easily

271
00:25:10,290 --> 00:25:13,090
distractable, or maybe on the lower math

272
00:25:13,090 --> 00:25:16,710
isn't their thing, or you mentioned smaller time blocks

273
00:25:16,710 --> 00:25:19,190
for math in our middle school, where there are things that

274
00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:22,070
have kind of percolated for you that you see

275
00:25:22,070 --> 00:25:24,610
while we're taking this lift with math curriculum

276
00:25:24,610 --> 00:25:26,310
that we might also want to consider?

277
00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:32,570
I would say probably the the the biggest change from my vantage point and from the

278
00:25:32,570 --> 00:25:37,270
listening to our design team is at the middle level we are very squeezed on time.

279
00:25:38,230 --> 00:25:44,590
It's it's a very unusual situation to have as a little time as we do for core mathematics

280
00:25:44,590 --> 00:25:50,330
instruction at those levels I think we could really you know it's it's a big system

281
00:25:50,330 --> 00:25:54,610
change to do something like that because we know that we are trying to balance the

282
00:25:54,610 --> 00:26:08,930
the interest of being able to make elective choices and the benefits that come from that, along with the need for having strong core instruction over that period of time as well.

283
00:26:09,450 --> 00:26:16,150
So, that balance is always there and certainly is a place where we would love to see a little bit more time at that middle level.

284
00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:24,590
That being said, we really feel strongly that the engaging aspect of what we're choosing here is really going to have an impact for us.

285
00:26:24,590 --> 00:26:25,370
our students.

286
00:26:26,930 --> 00:26:27,090
Great.

287
00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:28,970
Thank you.

288
00:26:29,090 --> 00:26:29,530
Red members.

289
00:26:32,490 --> 00:26:32,510
Okay.

290
00:26:33,130 --> 00:26:33,830
Thank you so much.

291
00:26:33,850 --> 00:26:37,390
This will now come forward in our April meeting for approval.

292
00:26:38,110 --> 00:26:38,170
Great.

293
00:26:38,410 --> 00:26:38,750
Thank you.

294
00:26:39,130 --> 00:26:41,470
Thank you.

295
00:26:41,470 --> 00:26:41,850
Okay.

296
00:26:42,030 --> 00:26:48,190
Moving on and our next item up for discussion is a lining community priorities with our learning

297
00:26:48,190 --> 00:26:48,750
environments.

298
00:26:49,370 --> 00:26:52,530
And I welcome Dr. Dan Bitman.

299
00:26:52,530 --> 00:27:10,470
Madam Chair, members of the board, those in the audience, this is my opportunity to share a little bit about some of the work that we've been doing around our task forces, specifically and also an opportunity to share publicly and with the board and about our anticipated recommendations that are going to be coming forward.

300
00:27:10,470 --> 00:27:17,430
We are proud here in Eidina of having strong schools, an engaged community, and a long

301
00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:23,790
standing commitment to student safety, well-being, and academic excellence throughout the

302
00:27:23,790 --> 00:27:30,290
last several years, including this last year in 2526, the district has worked closely with

303
00:27:30,290 --> 00:27:37,890
students, staff, families, and community members that have engaged task forces throughout many

304
00:27:37,890 --> 00:27:44,010
the priorities that have come to us. Safety and security, which includes student and staff wellness,

305
00:27:44,710 --> 00:27:50,310
early learning, reimagining the high school experience, elementary talent development,

306
00:27:51,050 --> 00:27:55,310
Spanish dual language, and the condition and suitability of district facilities,

307
00:27:55,870 --> 00:28:02,710
at learning spaces. Across all of this work, a consistent conclusion has emerged. To meet

308
00:28:02,710 --> 00:28:05,110
her in expectation and future needs,

309
00:28:05,730 --> 00:28:09,790
e-dina public schools will require additional investment

310
00:28:09,790 --> 00:28:11,610
beyond the existing resources.

311
00:28:12,570 --> 00:28:15,790
The primary driver of that is safety and security.

312
00:28:16,570 --> 00:28:19,310
Our community has been very loud and clear

313
00:28:19,310 --> 00:28:20,690
about their expectations.

314
00:28:22,170 --> 00:28:25,470
It has been the most prominent theme in community feedback

315
00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:28,250
and will be the most significant reason.

316
00:28:28,670 --> 00:28:31,670
The district may need to seek additional financial support

317
00:28:31,670 --> 00:28:32,690
from our community.

318
00:28:33,570 --> 00:28:39,610
Our families and staff expect schools to be not only welcoming and inclusive, but also very well

319
00:28:39,610 --> 00:28:43,090
prepared, well coordinated and resilient.

320
00:28:43,970 --> 00:28:49,510
Experts at the state and national level consistently emphasize that effective school safety

321
00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:57,250
has built on layered systems, combining people, training, and infrastructure rather than isolated

322
00:28:57,250 --> 00:28:58,130
solutions.

323
00:28:58,130 --> 00:29:11,810
Based on our community, input and expertise, areas where additional investment may need to be dedicated safety and security staff to support prevention, monitoring and coordination,

324
00:29:12,950 --> 00:29:19,130
some additional personnel dedicated to student support and what staff, student and staff well-being,

325
00:29:20,150 --> 00:29:26,390
additional ongoing training and preparedness ensuring staff and systems work together effectively.

326
00:29:26,390 --> 00:29:40,630
Some updates related to district-wide safety and security technology infrastructure that connects all of our schools and our district systems, allowing for coordinated communication and quick response.

327
00:29:41,470 --> 00:29:54,130
Cameras and monitoring systems that support situational awareness and incident review and improve door access and building security, particularly in some of the older facilities that we have throughout our district.

328
00:29:54,130 --> 00:29:59,870
Experts note that technology alone does not create safe schools.

329
00:30:01,010 --> 00:30:10,150
Investments must be paired with train staff, clear protocols, and strong coordination with local public safety and emergency partners.

330
00:30:11,490 --> 00:30:21,150
While safety is the primary driver of this work, the district's engagement efforts have also reinforced the importance of modern well-designed learning environments.

331
00:30:21,150 --> 00:30:27,430
Someydina Public School Facilities, many of which were built decades ago, were not necessarily

332
00:30:27,430 --> 00:30:33,190
designed to support today's instructional practices, student needs, or safety expectations.

333
00:30:33,970 --> 00:30:40,670
In several cases, aging infrastructure limits both our physical and physical security

334
00:30:40,670 --> 00:30:45,770
improvements and the district's ability to deliver specialized programming effectively.

335
00:30:45,770 --> 00:31:00,430
So, updating facilities across the district would support improved safety and security, innovative instructional practices, accessibility and inclusion, and an efficient use of space to meet our student needs.

336
00:31:00,430 --> 00:31:11,990
For these facility investments are not separate from safety, they're an essential part of creating schools that are secure, functional, and supportive of learning.

337
00:31:13,250 --> 00:31:22,330
Community engagement and feedback has also highlighted the need for purpose-built spaces to support students who require specialized programming and services.

338
00:31:23,250 --> 00:31:28,430
One of the things that has come forward is the need for a dedicated learning center.

339
00:31:28,930 --> 00:31:34,890
Early learning center that could provide space designed, especially for our early learners.

340
00:31:36,270 --> 00:31:41,110
Our community and our families indicate the need for additional child care opportunities

341
00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:44,370
before, during, and after school.

342
00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:51,190
Innovative spaces for such things as talent development and dual language, immersion in both Spanish and French.

343
00:31:51,990 --> 00:32:00,650
Collaborative services that currently operate across multiple sites or spaces that are just not designed for the purpose that there are.

344
00:32:00,930 --> 00:32:07,690
Increase space for youth and adult programming and increased enrollment stability for e-dina residents.

345
00:32:08,690 --> 00:32:10,750
All of these things have come clear from our community.

346
00:32:11,470 --> 00:32:18,190
So looking ahead, you know that we have thousands of individuals who are involved in task forces this year.

347
00:32:18,190 --> 00:32:24,430
And in April may, at the end of the year, they will be bringing recommendations to the board about each of these areas.

348
00:32:24,850 --> 00:32:31,990
And I anticipate bringing some type of recommendation for the school board to consider that additional financial support from borders,

349
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:34,530
which could happen as early as November.

350
00:32:35,250 --> 00:32:42,650
And so I wanted to continue to keep this at the table to continue to provide information and to share the feedback that we are receiving.

351
00:32:42,650 --> 00:32:49,410
In any recommendations, would be expected to focus primarily on safety and security.

352
00:32:50,870 --> 00:32:55,690
Again, that was the primary driver from our families, while also addressing some facility

353
00:32:55,690 --> 00:33:01,570
improvements and a dedicated early learning center to support student success and will well-being.

354
00:33:02,210 --> 00:33:10,030
If the board chooses to move this forward, a potential timeline could include, as I said, as early as asking voters in November,

355
00:33:10,030 --> 00:33:17,430
But it would also allow for continued thoughtful board deliberation, continued community engagement,

356
00:33:18,350 --> 00:33:21,610
transparency around priorities, scope and impact.

357
00:33:22,150 --> 00:33:26,070
Again, no decisions have been made at this time. We're still waiting for the recommendations.

358
00:33:26,810 --> 00:33:32,450
This summary is intended to ensure early awareness and support for informed discussion.

359
00:33:32,450 --> 00:33:38,710
Udana Public Schools remains committed to engaging the community openly and transparently,

360
00:33:39,470 --> 00:33:45,010
aligning investments with clearly identified needs and best practices, maintaining

361
00:33:45,010 --> 00:33:50,970
safe, welcoming and high quality learning environments and being responsible stewards

362
00:33:50,970 --> 00:33:52,270
of public resources.

363
00:33:52,550 --> 00:33:57,950
We are grateful for the partnership of our community and look forward to continuing this important

364
00:33:57,950 --> 00:33:59,170
conversation together.

365
00:34:02,230 --> 00:34:02,290
Great.

366
00:34:02,550 --> 00:34:03,470
Thank you for that.

367
00:34:04,590 --> 00:34:06,690
Director Alan Burke, would you try speaking?

368
00:34:06,990 --> 00:34:09,430
We've been working on your microphone.

369
00:34:16,950 --> 00:34:18,250
Now, we still can't hear you.

370
00:34:19,070 --> 00:34:21,210
OK, thank you for trying you guys.

371
00:34:21,890 --> 00:34:24,810
Board members, reactions, questions,

372
00:34:25,890 --> 00:34:28,770
to the report that you have in front of you.

373
00:34:29,170 --> 00:34:29,570
Director Barry.

374
00:34:30,710 --> 00:34:32,050
This is really exciting.

375
00:34:32,810 --> 00:34:35,070
And I just want to be clear with all the emphasis

376
00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:38,770
on safety and security that it be said

377
00:34:38,770 --> 00:34:40,770
Our schools are not unsafe currently.

378
00:34:41,430 --> 00:34:44,870
But with changing times and changing technology and changing needs,

379
00:34:45,070 --> 00:34:49,130
we would just like to be as up to date as possible, correct?

380
00:34:49,450 --> 00:34:52,170
Absolutely, and that's a really good point.

381
00:34:52,610 --> 00:34:53,970
We continue to be safe.

382
00:34:54,110 --> 00:34:55,630
We have many layered approaches.

383
00:34:55,810 --> 00:34:58,750
In fact, we've been commended by our state and national partners

384
00:34:58,750 --> 00:35:01,490
for the safety structures that we have in place.

385
00:35:01,790 --> 00:35:04,470
But as things change, as our world evolves,

386
00:35:04,830 --> 00:35:06,950
we want to make sure we maintain that excellence,

387
00:35:06,950 --> 00:35:10,310
and we continue to stay up with the time, so I appreciate the question.

388
00:35:10,910 --> 00:35:18,230
And as a parent with three kids in the school district, I greatly appreciate that, because it's not from mine, I think, for every parent and family.

389
00:35:19,890 --> 00:35:26,770
So as people follow along with this process, when do you think we could anticipate a solid plan?

390
00:35:27,130 --> 00:35:36,070
That's a very good question. So the timelines are pretty determined by statute, and so what will likely happen is the task forces, our community members, our families,

391
00:35:36,070 --> 00:35:42,090
will be bringing recommendations to you this spring. We would have to have some of those things

392
00:35:42,090 --> 00:35:47,050
ironed out and approved by the state in the middle of June. And so that would include very

393
00:35:47,050 --> 00:35:52,610
specific dollar amounts, very specific plans for an approved review and comment at the Department

394
00:35:52,610 --> 00:35:58,670
of Education in terms of language from the board level, that would not happen until later this summer.

395
00:35:59,210 --> 00:36:03,250
So we will want to continue those conversations and again we want to make sure that we're bringing

396
00:36:03,250 --> 00:36:09,770
people up to speed, and also the work and the feedback that we're giving is reflective of what

397
00:36:09,770 --> 00:36:11,150
our community has been asking.

398
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,800
You're good?

399
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:21,880
In outlining the different potential needs that we have, we have some capital needs in terms

400
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,060
of facilities, physical assets and things like that, but there was also some mention about

401
00:36:26,060 --> 00:36:29,700
some staffing needs around certain security elements or whatever it is.

402
00:36:30,180 --> 00:36:35,840
Can you give a little bit of color to the difference between how you fund for a facility versus

403
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,040
how you might operationally fund for staff and other ongoing expenses.

404
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,340
It's a really good question.

405
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:42,400
I'm glad that you asked it.

406
00:36:42,460 --> 00:36:44,600
There are a number of ways that we can do that.

407
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:47,880
We already have a tech-level increase in place.

408
00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:53,840
And so a likely option for the board to consider would be a slight increase up to 1%

409
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:59,720
perhaps of some additional dollars there to cover some of the staff and infrastructure-related

410
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:02,900
things specific to safety and security.

411
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:12,220
From a process standpoint, and this talks a little bit to what Director Barry was talking about.

412
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,740
So you said, what needs to happen by June?

413
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:22,280
So the application for a review and comment must be approved by the Department of Education at that time.

414
00:37:22,660 --> 00:37:28,920
And so right now, we are working with our task forces to identify and refine what they really feel is necessary.

415
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:29,980
You might also...

416
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,240
Also remember that some of our task forces, the safety and security, for example, is made up of folks

417
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:40,340
throughout the state, experts as well as our local police, our fire, cyber security experts,

418
00:37:40,580 --> 00:37:45,880
and people from our Minnesota Crisis Center. So we are working hard to make sure that any

419
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:51,820
proposal that comes forward, specifically addresses those needs. So you will continue to get more

420
00:37:51,820 --> 00:37:55,800
information and April in May and then in June.

421
00:37:56,300 --> 00:38:08,500
Great, because I just want to make sure that if we need to approve something, we have a good amount of time to kind of approve, and this is a great first step, and this is big picture.

422
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:15,480
And I think we'll want to know a little bit more about to use the word that Director Burke and use color of what does this mean.

423
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,840
Okay, great.

424
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,860
Other questions, board members.

425
00:38:24,470 --> 00:38:26,430
All right, excellent. Thank you.

426
00:38:26,430 --> 00:38:44,850
Moving on to our policy discussion and our policy chair is remote and inaccessible, so is there a backup policy member?

427
00:38:45,710 --> 00:38:56,850
Okay. Excellent. Our assistant clerk is going to step in and also be policy chair. Thank you.

428
00:38:57,890 --> 00:39:09,850
Director Aero. All right. We have some policies to discuss this evening and so I will turn it over to Director Aerom to walk us through this conversation. Thank you.

429
00:39:10,710 --> 00:39:11,570
I'll bear with me.

430
00:39:13,590 --> 00:39:14,830
I'll pause for your review.

431
00:39:15,610 --> 00:39:20,690
I'll start with 614 assessment plan and that one.

432
00:39:21,570 --> 00:39:22,510
Thank you.

433
00:39:22,530 --> 00:39:24,310
I had to reboot for a while.

434
00:39:25,250 --> 00:39:25,690
Thank you.

435
00:39:25,690 --> 00:39:26,590
Yeah, thank you, Jody.

436
00:39:27,490 --> 00:39:28,710
Please just come up with a few views.

437
00:39:29,070 --> 00:39:30,810
You know, Director D. Sam Pueber.

438
00:39:35,650 --> 00:39:36,910
Thank you, Director Eram.

439
00:39:37,330 --> 00:39:41,350
Good evening, Chair Gabler and Superintendent Bitman and Board and Characters.

440
00:39:41,350 --> 00:39:44,170
I have a couple of policies here tonight.

441
00:39:44,530 --> 00:39:48,290
I am starting with WD side six, 14, sorry.

442
00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:51,670
Yes, okay, I think I got them on order when I came up here.

443
00:39:52,050 --> 00:39:56,530
So the assessment plan, this one, we discussed at policy committee,

444
00:39:56,930 --> 00:40:01,090
I'm prior to that discussion, I tagged a Greg Guswiler very intentionally,

445
00:40:01,570 --> 00:40:04,750
just to make sure that we reviewed statute, MSBA policy,

446
00:40:05,110 --> 00:40:07,050
and components of our assessment policy.

447
00:40:07,770 --> 00:40:10,570
And we feel really strong about what we have in policy

448
00:40:10,570 --> 00:40:13,610
and all of our practices that are aligning.

449
00:40:14,390 --> 00:40:16,850
And so you'll just see some really minor changes.

450
00:40:17,970 --> 00:40:22,050
One is specific to EL, English language learners,

451
00:40:22,310 --> 00:40:23,850
instead of multi-lingual learners,

452
00:40:24,450 --> 00:40:27,010
and then reverted in that same section

453
00:40:27,570 --> 00:40:30,030
that the assessment plan goes to the board every two years.

454
00:40:30,150 --> 00:40:31,450
We just reverted that differently,

455
00:40:31,630 --> 00:40:33,550
and then at the end, the elements of the plan,

456
00:40:33,890 --> 00:40:35,710
we added the assessment calendar there,

457
00:40:35,730 --> 00:40:37,950
and then there are other small edits throughout.

458
00:40:37,950 --> 00:40:40,170
Any questions on that?

459
00:40:45,420 --> 00:40:46,060
All right.

460
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:46,580
I have a question.

461
00:40:47,060 --> 00:40:47,380
Oh, okay.

462
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,340
Sure, give it.

463
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:49,400
Yes, thank you.

464
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:51,380
Under 3B.

465
00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:53,760
What is this district assessment committee?

466
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,240
And we changed it from who would be on that committee.

467
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,100
Administrators from each stratum of school of configurations.

468
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:02,420
IE Elementary.

469
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:04,420
It used to say elementary middle and high school.

470
00:41:04,460 --> 00:41:06,520
And it says elementary and secondary.

471
00:41:06,980 --> 00:41:09,500
Can you speak to that change?

472
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:10,200
Yes, again.

473
00:41:10,340 --> 00:41:12,860
Thank you for pulling that out and asking that question.

474
00:41:12,860 --> 00:41:21,620
And as we were reviewing how our committee currently functions, we believe that we're pulling

475
00:41:21,620 --> 00:41:24,840
our principles a lot from the building in our administrative deans.

476
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:30,620
And so when we have a secondary representation for the larger oversight kind of conversations

477
00:41:30,620 --> 00:41:34,360
that happen at committee, a secondary representation is more than enough.

478
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:40,440
We do work directly with elementary middle school and high school deans when we're doing the

479
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:46,440
administration of all the assessment, but in this committee focal point, it's good to have that secondary

480
00:41:47,380 --> 00:41:52,300
comprehensive representation. Thank you. That addresses my concern. And I would assume that the

481
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:56,580
representatives of both at the high school and the middle school are comfortable with that. Yes. Yes.

482
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:58,800
Yes.

483
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,160
I think maybe even grateful.

484
00:42:05,340 --> 00:42:06,380
All right. Any additional questions?

485
00:42:09,420 --> 00:42:10,980
All right. Next one will be

486
00:42:14,130 --> 00:42:19,630
621 literacy in the redact. Okay. I thought I could stay up here for this one and the next one as well.

487
00:42:19,630 --> 00:42:24,390
So the read act, you do see a lot of edits within the read act one.

488
00:42:25,110 --> 00:42:29,730
I will note that they are primarily direct relation to MSBA.

489
00:42:30,390 --> 00:42:35,110
So almost everything, the only two things I want to point out that committee, we had a good discussion,

490
00:42:35,790 --> 00:42:40,070
and actually Director Alan Berg had some good points with our purpose and general statement.

491
00:42:40,490 --> 00:42:43,390
We wanted to be really clear about how important literacy is.

492
00:42:43,430 --> 00:42:45,830
And you'd like to public schools under the purpose statement.

493
00:42:45,830 --> 00:42:53,250
and also then under the general statement of policy just wanted to be clear about how we're addressing the importance of it.

494
00:42:53,670 --> 00:43:04,510
Everything else throughout the entire rest of this longer policy that's added in blue or pressed out is directly from the updates in the MSBA policy.

495
00:43:05,170 --> 00:43:13,210
Not all of them but a lot of them are in alignment with now adding phase two of the professional development components for redact,

496
00:43:13,210 --> 00:43:15,930
which we'll be talking about in the Nobel-Bard medium.

497
00:43:17,010 --> 00:43:20,450
So that, I don't think there's anything else specific

498
00:43:20,450 --> 00:43:22,670
for me to call out unless you have questions.

499
00:43:25,210 --> 00:43:28,230
Four members of any questions on six, twenty-one.

500
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:31,160
Chair Gailer.

501
00:43:32,780 --> 00:43:37,040
Are three D and three G.

502
00:43:37,500 --> 00:43:37,780
The same.

503
00:43:41,660 --> 00:43:42,760
I think they are.

504
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,620
Yes, they are.

505
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,100
Thank you.

506
00:43:46,620 --> 00:43:47,600
So we'll fix that.

507
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:48,960
And we had a good discussion.

508
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:54,160
And actually around that one, it must have been, we got it in other twice because it was important to keep.

509
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,340
But we'll fix that for the next.

510
00:43:57,780 --> 00:43:59,820
And then under 10.

511
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:00,540
Uh-huh.

512
00:44:00,860 --> 00:44:01,900
Wait down at the bottom.

513
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,320
Um, is there?

514
00:44:05,420 --> 00:44:07,540
This was for my, my own understanding.

515
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:11,820
See, the title says literacy incentive aid uses.

516
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:15,060
But the paragraph says the school district will use its literacy.

517
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,520
AID, an incentive has been crossed off.

518
00:44:20,870 --> 00:44:22,190
Is it one or the other?

519
00:44:22,730 --> 00:44:23,590
That's a good question.

520
00:44:23,990 --> 00:44:26,230
I'd have to follow up on that one.

521
00:44:27,250 --> 00:44:28,910
AID and Senate versus the lituracy.

522
00:44:28,970 --> 00:44:29,910
AIDL of X.

523
00:44:30,030 --> 00:44:30,170
Okay.

524
00:44:30,370 --> 00:44:30,390
Okay.

525
00:44:30,730 --> 00:44:31,070
AIDL of X.

526
00:44:31,070 --> 00:44:31,150
Okay.

527
00:44:31,150 --> 00:44:31,750
AIDL of X.

528
00:44:31,850 --> 00:44:32,090
AIDL of X.

529
00:44:32,530 --> 00:44:32,930
AIDL of X.

530
00:44:33,290 --> 00:44:33,890
AIDL of X.

531
00:44:48,580 --> 00:44:48,980
AIDL of X.

532
00:44:48,980 --> 00:44:49,000
Okay.

533
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:49,480
Thank you, Mayor.

534
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:50,820
Thank you.

535
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:51,560
Thank you, Village.

536
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:59,980
And then my last question is, when it says, this is more from maybe Dr. Bim.

537
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:16,420
When it says the local and comprehensive literacy plans, I know that we put those on our website, but I'm wondering because of our focus on literacy and should be valuable, if that is something that we can maybe flag for consent to board members, just so that it's fresh and on our minds.

538
00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:18,920
And we can see some of those outcomes that we're working towards.

539
00:45:19,180 --> 00:45:20,660
We would be happy to do that.

540
00:45:20,820 --> 00:45:21,980
All right. Thank you.

541
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,740
Any other questions from board members?

542
00:45:28,220 --> 00:45:32,120
All right. Moving on. We're going through 633 research requests.

543
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:39,620
Okay. Thank you. This last one here from Teaching and Learning was a team effort at the

544
00:45:39,620 --> 00:45:45,420
TNL policy or at the Policy Board Committee, specifically I'm just delineating and being

545
00:45:45,420 --> 00:45:51,800
clear about what the process is depending on who has the research request. So really, there's

546
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:57,520
just a little bit of a different process for students that are in E-Dine of Public Schools versus

547
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:03,400
non-district students and so that's where we have a lot of the updates and

548
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:09,740
clarifications and specifically adjustments to the appendix as on that layer of

549
00:46:09,740 --> 00:46:16,820
things. Are there questions that I can answer about those?

550
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,880
I don't remember seeing this policy in all of our years before I noticed I didn't pay

551
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,700
it close enough attention to it. So I'm a little just for FYI purposes,

552
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:31,620
Explain to me what are we're quite like what kind of how what what let's an example of a question would come in that would both include

553
00:46:31,620 --> 00:46:37,220
Students but also not to that covers in the language updates that you've made here absolutely can do that so

554
00:46:37,220 --> 00:46:40,580
The ones that I typically see are from

555
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:42,920
Either a

556
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:49,020
Dynate educator who's getting their doctor degree or even a master's degree and they have a research project

557
00:46:49,020 --> 00:46:55,640
They but they do along with that education and so then they fill out the appendix and all the layers to it

558
00:46:55,700 --> 00:46:58,600
So that is often one of the requests they get.

559
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,920
Once in a while, we get requests from like an outside vendor that they want to partner with us and

560
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,100
trying something new, maybe in WAA, wants to try something new within their assessment.

561
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,700
So those would be outside requests, even the teacher.

562
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:12,900
That's an E-Dynia teacher.

563
00:47:13,180 --> 00:47:17,060
I consider kind of an outside request because they're doing an collaboration with their university.

564
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,320
Outside of their day-to-day dyno work.

565
00:47:19,740 --> 00:47:23,600
But it supports and enhances, or E-Dynno work, is what the hope is.

566
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:33,540
And then really that's what we delineated with the students like students could be doing a simple research project for a class like we just had history day.

567
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:43,760
So there could be some research that happens in the class during that history day project that the press is really is to manage that and the classroom as much as possible.

568
00:47:44,020 --> 00:47:52,620
And teachers would just reach out to me if there was something that needed to have a little more permission from parents or something outside of a classroom project.

569
00:47:52,620 --> 00:47:54,760
Great, thank you very much. I appreciate that. That's very helpful.

570
00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:58,080
Got your hobby?

571
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,520
So research, was that mean?

572
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,160
I saw in your reference to,

573
00:48:06,940 --> 00:48:08,640
think surveys,

574
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:11,680
it's inclusive of like data.

575
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,560
I'm just trying to understand what research actually means.

576
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:16,960
Yep, scope of all that.

577
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:21,240
I think you definitely hit it on the nose when you said data, right?

578
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:26,420
So usually the outside requests that have gotten people are wanting to collect data, either

579
00:48:26,420 --> 00:48:33,780
observations of how students respond to an instructional practice or data that we might have

580
00:48:33,780 --> 00:48:38,580
based on some assessments. And so that's why it's really that in particular so careful

581
00:48:38,580 --> 00:48:43,880
that we follow a really careful process or data privacy for our students and follow the IRB

582
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:50,240
processes with our universities. So it could be a variety of different data points, but I would connect

583
00:48:50,240 --> 00:49:03,020
research to gathering data. And then, in here in, he won, textbook, Guarantine, and an

584
00:49:03,020 --> 00:49:11,200
remedy, it's in the appendix. And then data privacy policies must be adhered to.

585
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:18,300
Number one seems really beefy, like there's a lot there, and just a data privacy policies must be

586
00:49:18,300 --> 00:49:29,840
And then I looked up our data privacy policy, just to see what it was, and my question really specifically around data retention, what happens to the data once this thing is done.

587
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:35,700
Just asking a little bit deeper about that piece of it.

588
00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:38,760
I can speak to that a little bit.

589
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,300
We work with research boards in terms of their practices.

590
00:49:43,580 --> 00:49:46,760
And typically, it's not property of the school district

591
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,860
because they're in partnership with the university.

592
00:49:49,260 --> 00:49:51,680
So it goes under the university pieces there

593
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:52,720
in terms of the data.

594
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,420
We hear any data public schools do their,

595
00:49:55,660 --> 00:49:57,640
we follow the state retention policies.

596
00:49:58,260 --> 00:50:01,460
So if there's property of our school district

597
00:50:01,460 --> 00:50:03,860
in particular, we would then follow that.

598
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:08,180
So, we're sharing the data, but it's still our data.

599
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:17,260
It is our data with an approval and confidentially agreements with the University or the organization

600
00:50:17,260 --> 00:50:19,120
we have a partnership with.

601
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,240
Does that include the use of that data?

602
00:50:21,900 --> 00:50:22,400
It does.

603
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:28,580
And we have to follow, even though we have policies in place, state statute is pretty clear on

604
00:50:28,580 --> 00:50:30,760
what we can and can that do in those areas.

605
00:50:31,380 --> 00:50:31,460
Yeah.

606
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,380
about student name, for example.

607
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:38,940
You don't allow personally identified information.

608
00:50:38,940 --> 00:50:41,400
It's more about student A, student B,

609
00:50:41,620 --> 00:50:42,920
and then the data that would be collected.

610
00:50:43,020 --> 00:50:45,540
So it's de-identified sort of data

611
00:50:45,540 --> 00:50:47,000
that can then be used in that purpose.

612
00:50:47,420 --> 00:50:48,000
Correct, got it.

613
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,320
I know that my own children have had student teachers,

614
00:50:51,660 --> 00:50:55,480
and we had to sign a parent's had to sign something

615
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,760
that said, yes, my child, and they didn't use their name.

616
00:50:58,860 --> 00:51:01,680
They were using the use IRB review process,

617
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:11,940
but that would be another example and parents certainly were notified and had to sign off on having their child be used as part of their master's project.

618
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:13,520
The research.

619
00:51:15,380 --> 00:51:16,120
Yeah, good example.

620
00:51:19,590 --> 00:51:20,470
Any other questions?

621
00:51:23,500 --> 00:51:24,060
Thank you.

622
00:51:24,420 --> 00:51:24,840
Thank you.

623
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:30,300
Next up is Director Leeland with Community Education Services.

624
00:51:45,910 --> 00:51:47,210
Good evening.

625
00:51:47,210 --> 00:51:56,630
we'll start over. I have the pleasure to talk about policy 901. It is the community relations,

626
00:51:57,410 --> 00:52:03,730
community education policy, and it looks like there's so much that's been redone. But really,

627
00:52:04,370 --> 00:52:09,950
it's taking the same language throughout and just revising it and modernizing it. So,

628
00:52:09,950 --> 00:52:14,630
based on feedback from director Alan Berg.

629
00:52:15,630 --> 00:52:20,150
I really appreciated her because we're going to remove the bylaws.

630
00:52:20,330 --> 00:52:24,910
We'd like to remove the bylaws from this.

631
00:52:24,970 --> 00:52:26,290
We'd like to remove the appendix.

632
00:52:26,890 --> 00:52:29,970
But the piece that stood out to her, which I assume...

633
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:36,180
I appreciate it, is under two General Statement of Policy and it reads the Community Education Program of the

634
00:52:36,180 --> 00:52:41,720
Diena Public Schools Strives to serve the entire Diena Community in responding to educational, recreational,

635
00:52:42,220 --> 00:52:47,400
cultural and social needs. It serves as a catalyst for developing individual potential, solving

636
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:52,920
community problems, increasing a positive sense of community connecting community to the schools and improving

637
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:59,540
community living. And then it goes on to listing all of the things that we do well. But what I appreciate

638
00:52:59,540 --> 00:53:08,740
about her suggestion to move that to the front of the document was how inclusive of a statement

639
00:53:08,740 --> 00:53:15,100
that is in how much it reflects our community so deeply. So thank you Director Allen Burke

640
00:53:15,100 --> 00:53:23,100
for making that suggestion and again throughout this document. It's pretty much what it was

641
00:53:23,100 --> 00:53:26,000
except we've just updated the language.

642
00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:29,680
So no significant changes, but we are suggesting

643
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,620
that the appendix be removed.

644
00:53:34,610 --> 00:53:35,890
Or members any questions?

645
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:40,040
Thank you.

646
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:41,800
And are you staying for the next one too?

647
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,320
Yeah, and I would like to direct your Edwards.

648
00:53:43,660 --> 00:53:46,560
Yeah, I'd love to invite Director Edwards

649
00:53:48,380 --> 00:53:51,840
up to the witness, what is this?

650
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:56,120
The witness, the table.

651
00:53:59,380 --> 00:54:06,480
We have a couple

652
00:54:08,660 --> 00:54:24,760
of rounds of discussion about this policy. Really to summarize our recommendations, you'll notice we made reference to policy 902, which relates to organizations that use our facilities.

653
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:32,200
We also added a disclaimer that will be required on any materials that would be distributed.

654
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:42,140
And I should add that, in general, we really do not support outside organizations hosting materials that are building.

655
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:46,660
It's not really a practice that we encourage.

656
00:54:46,660 --> 00:54:54,520
So the policy really covers us in the event that some other leaders come in and see that differently.

657
00:54:55,540 --> 00:54:58,420
We also recommended removing the appendix.

658
00:54:58,740 --> 00:55:03,860
I think that the approval process gives us coverage for any type of material.

659
00:55:04,340 --> 00:55:06,380
Be it campaign or otherwise.

660
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,000
We also have a disclaimer that we require,

661
00:55:11,180 --> 00:55:15,980
which we also believe provides the district was sufficient coverage.

662
00:55:15,980 --> 00:55:24,530
Just one, one thing I'd like to add as well is, what did I want to add?

663
00:55:26,250 --> 00:55:34,190
The area where we don't allow anyone to really advertise on our buildings, but our district

664
00:55:34,190 --> 00:55:36,910
partners such as Ed Fund, I want to be transparent.

665
00:55:37,230 --> 00:55:40,690
Ed Fund to give and go the city, we do allow.

666
00:55:40,830 --> 00:55:46,710
And oftentimes they email me or reach out and say can we put this up and I say yes as long

667
00:55:46,710 --> 00:55:51,850
as you use green tape because our custodial team is really particular about the tape we use.

668
00:55:52,250 --> 00:55:53,350
So that is.

669
00:55:53,350 --> 00:55:54,190
That's true.

670
00:55:54,190 --> 00:55:54,750
Let's go ahead.

671
00:55:58,390 --> 00:56:05,550
Come and understand, when our facilities are used by outside parties, so a basketball tournament

672
00:56:05,550 --> 00:56:07,830
of volleyball tournament, something of that effect,

673
00:56:09,990 --> 00:56:12,490
do the same rules apply for that type

674
00:56:12,490 --> 00:56:17,290
of materials of their advertising or if they're putting up some sort of information or something

675
00:56:17,290 --> 00:56:17,870
or whatever.

676
00:56:17,870 --> 00:56:20,430
Does it fall into that activity as well?

677
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:30,800
I added a note that this policy does not apply to persons or organizations permitted to use district facilities in accordance with policy 902.

678
00:56:31,260 --> 00:56:37,240
Okay, so it's really then outside parties who don't print and who then come and post things on our walls.

679
00:56:37,380 --> 00:56:40,160
I know we've had some protests sometimes here where that's been done.

680
00:56:40,460 --> 00:56:46,320
This is also given us the authority to then take those things down and have the right to do so on our own property.

681
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:47,440
That's right.

682
00:56:47,740 --> 00:56:47,900
Okay.

683
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,320
Thank you.

684
00:56:52,070 --> 00:56:53,290
Any additional questions?

685
00:56:55,390 --> 00:56:56,230
Thank you.

686
00:56:56,270 --> 00:56:56,910
Thank you.

687
00:56:56,930 --> 00:56:57,070
Thank you.

688
00:56:57,070 --> 00:56:57,250
Thank you.

689
00:56:57,250 --> 00:57:02,610
These policies were all come back next month for a final review and potential approval.

690
00:57:04,050 --> 00:57:07,850
As always, as a former person on the policy committee who is happily not on there anymore,

691
00:57:08,310 --> 00:57:14,130
thank you to the leadership of Director Alan Bergen, all the members of the current policy committee.

692
00:57:14,770 --> 00:57:16,450
It is something I very much value.

693
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:19,700
All right.

694
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,960
We were moving on to the action portion of our meeting.

695
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:28,400
do I have a motion to approve the agreement to construct and maintain a storm water facility?

696
00:57:30,140 --> 00:57:31,940
Is there a second? Second.

697
00:57:34,710 --> 00:57:37,410
I welcome up director of finance and facilities

698
00:57:38,030 --> 00:57:43,610
from our water to prevent the item. Leave me mad. I'm chair. Members of the school board.

699
00:57:44,410 --> 00:57:49,170
This item has been discussed numerous occasions beginning with our I believe September 8th

700
00:57:49,170 --> 00:57:53,030
school board meeting. We're an official from the city join me to introduce the topic.

701
00:57:53,030 --> 00:57:59,710
I won't get into the minute details, but just as a reminder, there is a

702
00:57:59,710 --> 00:58:03,450
a dirt-of-pervious surface remaining in the city of Udana, which is

703
00:58:03,450 --> 00:58:07,110
almost immediately built out. So whenever developments do occur that

704
00:58:07,110 --> 00:58:11,950
remove what is left, stormwater management treatments need to be installed so that

705
00:58:11,950 --> 00:58:15,930
we prevent flooding throughout the district and our neighbors. The Udana

706
00:58:15,930 --> 00:58:19,530
tennis court renovation project actually removed a little bit more of that

707
00:58:19,530 --> 00:58:25,830
So that we could join the two lower tennis courts with the array of tennis courts that are more towards the west.

708
00:58:26,430 --> 00:58:31,590
As part of that process, we were scheduled to install our own storm water management facility.

709
00:58:32,030 --> 00:58:41,550
However, the city, when we were approaching them for a permit, informed us that they had plans to design and construct a more regional solution that would serve the entire conquered neighborhood,

710
00:58:42,290 --> 00:58:44,310
which is only brought that forth to the school board.

711
00:58:44,310 --> 00:58:50,330
I'm the watershed and the city have been working closely with us to design an agreement to put that into place.

712
00:58:50,450 --> 00:58:56,450
That agreement was approved by the Minihaha Creek Waters Head District at their board meeting last month.

713
00:58:56,850 --> 00:59:00,530
City Council proved it as well, and it's now over to you guys to approve.

714
00:59:01,290 --> 00:59:02,970
So we can be agreement into place.

715
00:59:03,830 --> 00:59:06,870
Two key provisions were included in the agreement.

716
00:59:06,870 --> 00:59:21,390
Now one after 30 or within 30 days of receipt of the city's feasibility study, the district has the opportunity to remove themselves from the agreement and install its own storm water management facility for the tennis courts.

717
00:59:21,990 --> 00:59:32,870
Also, the city is required to bring back the facility to the condition which it is now or better and we're hoping to have a better facility after they're done constructing the facility.

718
00:59:36,100 --> 00:59:38,680
Would members any questions about this item?

719
00:59:41,970 --> 00:59:43,450
Yes, I have one really quick one.

720
00:59:43,930 --> 00:59:50,630
Can you use in the packet and then also we talked about it before about stormwater credits

721
00:59:50,630 --> 00:59:52,690
and what that would maybe be allows to do?

722
00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:56,870
Can you speak to that a little bit as far as previously in the past we had talked about

723
00:59:56,870 --> 00:59:59,570
maybe having some kind of addition to Concord?

724
01:00:00,210 --> 01:00:10,290
What would this allow us to, or could this allow us to more easily construct an addition to that facility?

725
01:00:10,910 --> 01:00:16,290
That's a great question, so the city is going to agree to pass those credits along to the school district.

726
01:00:17,030 --> 01:00:25,330
That addition at Conquer that you mentioned, of course, that's going to potentially remove more pervious surface, so we would have to install storm water management facilities on that campus.

727
01:00:25,330 --> 01:00:33,410
With this more regional solution, I think the ideas to have it be supersized to provide more stormwater management than necessary.

728
01:00:33,770 --> 01:00:43,490
So if we were to construct really anywhere on this campus, the need for us to expend taxpayer dollars to put in stormwater facilities would be negated.

729
01:00:44,010 --> 01:00:46,010
So there's definitely future potential benefit.

730
01:00:46,530 --> 01:00:53,390
In fact, the tennis court project, we had a $200,000 change order to the good, because we didn't install that facility at the time.

731
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,800
Dr. Woodard, I really appreciate your work on this.

732
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:01,740
Dr. Bittman's work on this.

733
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,760
I know when this came to the board, it seemed like,

734
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,180
oh, this should be pretty easy,

735
01:01:05,460 --> 01:01:07,440
but I really appreciate you working with us

736
01:01:08,060 --> 01:01:10,220
to make sure that our questions were answered,

737
01:01:10,220 --> 01:01:12,740
and I do feel like when we're approving it,

738
01:01:13,060 --> 01:01:14,540
that we have asked the right questions.

739
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,060
I know there was a lot of concern around making sure

740
01:01:17,060 --> 01:01:19,880
we're making the right decision for this community

741
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,900
for down the road, because it seems like a great short term,

742
01:01:23,060 --> 01:01:24,960
but we wanted to make sure it was a good long-term plan.

743
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:28,000
So I really appreciate you working with us on that.

744
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,160
You mentioned this already, but can we work together

745
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,740
to make sure that as this project goes on

746
01:01:34,740 --> 01:01:36,460
that there's a periodic board updates,

747
01:01:36,740 --> 01:01:40,360
like for example, when there's certain milestones reached

748
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,660
like the city receives the fat feasibility reports

749
01:01:43,660 --> 01:01:46,860
and some of those things, just so that we kind of,

750
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,420
are brought along in the process?

751
01:01:48,900 --> 01:01:50,760
Absolutely, I'm sure Dr. Betmole

752
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,400
update you through the various channels.

753
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:53,280
Perfect, thank you.

754
01:01:53,960 --> 01:02:05,540
And I do appreciate that, I mean, no promises but there was some wording in there that said they're going to minimize, try to minimize the amount of road closure around this.

755
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,720
So I appreciate you listening to that piece too.

756
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:09,300
All right.

757
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:17,220
If there is no other questions, we will vote to approve the agreement to construct and maintain a stormwater facility.

758
01:02:17,380 --> 01:02:19,600
I will ask for a roll call vote.

759
01:02:21,890 --> 01:02:22,410
Alan Burke.

760
01:02:25,540 --> 01:02:25,640
Hi.

761
01:02:26,580 --> 01:02:26,860
Hi.

762
01:02:26,860 --> 01:02:27,860
Hi.

763
01:02:28,540 --> 01:02:29,300
Hi.

764
01:02:31,060 --> 01:02:31,180
Hi.

765
01:02:35,100 --> 01:02:38,300
The agreement to construct and maintain a stormwater facility is approved.

766
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:39,660
Thank you.

767
01:02:40,500 --> 01:02:44,140
Do I have a motion to approve policy 514 under quick review?

768
01:02:44,740 --> 01:02:45,160
It's removed.

769
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:46,580
Is there a second?

770
01:02:48,420 --> 01:02:50,000
This is NERAMAN burden.

771
01:02:51,340 --> 01:02:54,100
We have assistant superintendent,

772
01:02:54,100 --> 01:02:58,720
And it's once in here to talk to us about policy 514.

773
01:02:59,940 --> 01:03:05,640
Madam Chair, members of the board and Dr. Bitman, just a couple of things about 514.

774
01:03:05,740 --> 01:03:06,680
Two minor changes.

775
01:03:07,020 --> 01:03:21,300
There is the removal of a cross reference from section 2I and then there is the parent or guardian

776
01:03:21,300 --> 01:03:28,660
being able to designate another individual in order to receive notifications about prohibited

777
01:03:28,660 --> 01:03:35,180
content. So again, two minor changes, which is why it's being proposed for a quick review.

778
01:03:42,660 --> 01:03:47,760
All right, we will now vote by roll call to approve policy 514. Director Allenburg.

779
01:03:51,830 --> 01:03:52,350
Aye.

780
01:03:54,730 --> 01:03:55,250
Aye.

781
01:03:55,530 --> 01:03:55,730
Aye.

782
01:03:56,090 --> 01:03:56,350
Aye.

783
01:03:57,130 --> 01:03:57,290
Aye.

784
01:03:58,490 --> 01:04:00,170
Policy 514 is approved.

785
01:04:01,090 --> 01:04:06,990
Do I have a motion to approve policies 20266717906 and 907?

786
01:04:07,830 --> 01:04:08,490
So moved.

787
01:04:08,690 --> 01:04:08,790
So moved.

788
01:04:08,790 --> 01:04:09,650
Is there a second?

789
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:14,740
Assistant Clerk Garam.

790
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,780
Would you, is there anything to talk to us about these policies?

791
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:24,340
I don't believe there are significant changes from the previous months review of them,

792
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:26,360
so

793
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,240
there's a lot of feedback from them.

794
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:33,200
I just have one very simple question on policy 202.

795
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:34,880
We're talking about board officers.

796
01:04:35,020 --> 01:04:38,820
I just want to make sure that the current assistant treasurer satisfied with the definition

797
01:04:39,580 --> 01:04:40,780
for that role.

798
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:42,680
That did come up in previous conversation.

799
01:04:42,740 --> 01:04:46,700
I just want to make sure that I have a part of affirmative on that.

800
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:53,460
I don't know if we can truly sum up the role of the assistant treasure, but I think this

801
01:04:53,460 --> 01:04:55,740
does a great job as far as we can go.

802
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:02,960
For board watchers at home, this is a running bit for many others, but I'm sure you all know

803
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,800
that at home as you guys are well plugged in.

804
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:09,080
I just want to make sure it's tonight kind of vote in the affirmative for it.

805
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:10,180
Thank you.

806
01:05:10,380 --> 01:05:13,980
You know, many boards they just have three or four, but here in a dyno we want to make

807
01:05:13,980 --> 01:05:15,280
sure everybody has a title.

808
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,400
Everyone feels valuable is everyone needs attention

809
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:27,300
We'll now vote to approve policies 202 606 717 906 and 907

810
01:05:28,220 --> 01:05:30,260
Director Allenburg

811
01:05:34,350 --> 01:05:35,810
Hi

812
01:05:36,110 --> 01:05:36,810
Hi

813
01:05:37,690 --> 01:05:39,210
Hi

814
01:05:39,210 --> 01:05:39,310
Hi

815
01:05:40,690 --> 01:05:47,630
Policies 202 606 717 906 and 907 are approved

816
01:05:47,630 --> 01:05:51,870
Do any board members have leadership or committee updates?

817
01:05:52,870 --> 01:05:53,650
Director, Aaron?

818
01:05:54,530 --> 01:05:56,730
Just an update for the legislative action committee.

819
01:05:57,470 --> 01:06:02,730
We have our day at the Capitol on April 13th, the full day.

820
01:06:02,890 --> 01:06:08,570
The legislative session has gotten off to a pretty busy start for folks.

821
01:06:08,930 --> 01:06:12,090
So I know that some of the administration was down there today.

822
01:06:12,090 --> 01:06:18,830
doing some work and we've had students testify already at different committees and so we're

823
01:06:18,830 --> 01:06:24,830
looking forward to an active LIC season and we hope to have as many members of the community

824
01:06:24,830 --> 01:06:28,130
help support our platform. So thank you.

825
01:06:30,390 --> 01:06:32,610
Thank you for that and thank you for your work and

826
01:06:32,610 --> 01:06:37,670
Director Bridman's work on the LIC. Dr. Bitman, do you have any updates? Madam Chair,

827
01:06:37,830 --> 01:06:42,250
member at the board, a number of them but I was able to spend some time with the representatives

828
01:06:42,250 --> 01:06:51,270
And our legislative folks down at the Capitol all day today inspired by their commitment and their continued engagement, particularly here in Edina.

829
01:06:51,910 --> 01:07:02,870
In addition to our platform and the things that we've been engaging with them, we did talk about things like the blue with a commission that would have an impact on Edina public schools in 2028.

830
01:07:02,870 --> 01:07:07,550
And so we wanted to be thoughtful about that, as well as a number of other things that would

831
01:07:07,550 --> 01:07:08,350
have an impact.

832
01:07:08,550 --> 01:07:13,930
And we felt like they listened, they were had great conversation about that and as Director

833
01:07:13,930 --> 01:07:18,150
Airem pointed out, we will continue to have students, staff, families, and administrators

834
01:07:18,150 --> 01:07:21,510
down at the Capitol working with them and testifying.

835
01:07:22,030 --> 01:07:25,170
A lot to celebrate in terms of students, a lot of things happening.

836
01:07:25,430 --> 01:07:29,250
We were able to celebrate some of our music programs tonight, which was phenomenal.

837
01:07:29,250 --> 01:07:29,570
we know.

838
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:59,640
We also had Minnesota student journalist of the year Lynn Clara Tune, who were excited to celebrate who will play a role in our communications and marketing department, as well as in a number of things with the Zephrus, and, of course, some of our local activities in athletics, boys, swim, being one who took home another state championships. So, grateful for the continued success of our students and families, as well as our coaches and our staff who just worked tirelessly to make great things happen. So, with that, I will turn it over to the wheelchair.

839
01:08:01,060 --> 01:08:02,540
Thank you for that.

840
01:08:03,420 --> 01:08:06,060
Do I have a motion to adjourn our meeting?

841
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:09,960
Is there a second?

842
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:10,400
Second.

843
01:08:10,940 --> 01:08:12,860
You'll now vote by a roll call to adjourn the meeting,

844
01:08:13,260 --> 01:08:13,920

845
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:20,560

846
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:23,680

848
