[0:01] Well, perfect. I'm going to call the meeting to order then. We have two items on the agenda, consent agenda for approval. The board minutes from 619 as well as the closed session minutes, assuming those were read when circulated any comments or questions.
[0:20] Hey, can I get a motion for approval? Almost into the board meeting and the closed-minute sessions from June 19th. Thank you, Janila, second. Thank you.
[0:30] Okay. Any opposed? Great. Then we'll do a roll call vote to move into close
[0:38] sentence for the sole purpose of discussing the Harrisburg professional
[0:41] competence or physical or mental and individual in accordance with Utah
[0:45] code annex 32-4-21. I'm gonna start with you. Tim, do you want to do a motion in a
[0:54] second and then the roll call? I would love to use that. I'm never getting it right.
[0:58] I'm not sure if we can make it.
[0:59] That's something.
[1:00] Yeah.
[1:01] Thank you.
[1:02] I got emotions moving the post session of the right.
[1:05] I love you.
[1:06] Thank you.
[1:07] I will second.
[1:09] Thank you.
[1:09] Okay. All in the laboratory.
[1:12] Williams.
[1:14] And I will give you a time.
[1:16] Right.
[1:17] I knew Scott.
[1:18] I did it.
[1:20] And Donald.
[1:22] Donald McNeil.
[1:23] Hi.
[1:25] Perfect.
[1:25] Thank you.
[1:25] All right, we're good. Let me pause to know all right.
[1:34] All right, we're coming down to closed session. Can I get a motion to do so?
[1:38] I'm a motion to come on a close session. Thank you. Thank you.
[1:44] You can just say all the paper. Collins Aver. Hi.
[1:47] Hi.
[1:48] Great. And then I'll just state that it's 938. Thank you so much.
[1:55] So I'm going to change the order of voting items and discussion was real quick.
[2:01] Starting with the student discipline decision, I'd like to ask for a motion to.
[2:09] I already forgot this was to say the student that's disgusting close session for an indefinite period from the notes.
[2:17] I would like to ask for a motion to expel the student that was discussed in post session,
[2:22] the expulsion for an end up as a period of time, motion to expel the student, just as
[2:30] you asked.
[2:31] Thank you.
[2:31] Definitely.
[2:33] As I go.
[2:34] Thank you all there.
[2:36] Hi.
[2:38] Thank you.
[2:39] Any opposed to that?
[2:41] Thank you.
[2:43] Okay.
[2:44] Thank you.
[2:44] So then we'll move on to the University of Utah contract.
[2:49] What did you want to talk about that?
[2:51] Yeah, so the Utah Education Policy Center has contracted with us to this past year already.
[3:04] Yeah, I think it's a pretty good looking for you, Brenda.
[3:07] It's a pretty good looking.
[3:08] It's a pretty good looking for you.
[3:08] Okay.
[3:09] We're working for all that.
[3:10] So let's see.
[3:12] Oh, right.
[3:13] It's right in the right.
[3:16] Oh, right.
[3:16] Thank you.
[3:17] You're the right.
[3:18] Two minutes.
[3:20] Okay.
[3:21] Guys.
[3:25] Okay.
[3:26] Okay.
[3:27] So anyway, what they had accomplished this past year was taking a look at what are the
[3:34] our root cause analysis was and so we got down to the root cause of what we're really looking at
[3:41] in terms of why we are NCSI. And then we looked at both the West Shorty campus and the South
[3:50] Jordan campus. To accomplish that, we decided that we should probably keep this partnership going
[3:59] So that we're not faltering and falling on a face in terms of what we can actually accomplish on our own, we felt like the partnership with the you was actually very good.
[4:10] It's also interesting to note that Utah State Board of Education is also going to be partnering with the same group to help other schools who are in this situation.
[4:20] So I think that that's actually a good recommendation for us that the U Policy Center is a good avenue.
[4:31] When we're looking at pre the last year, they were not. It cost us about $69,000 in the last year to go through this process.
[4:39] So it's, yeah.
[4:41] And they wrote the report to the state, the state approved the report and everything went through that way.
[4:47] where we were in good shape as far as what we were hoping to accomplish with that report
[4:53] with the state. Then we have professional developments for administration, for teachers,
[5:02] or paraprofessionals, which will be ongoing this year, and those supports will be provided by
[5:09] the U-Policy Center, as well as, yes, correct. Yeah, on the timeline, thanks. I'm just
[5:16] review on that for you. And then the price tag at the West Jordan
[5:21] campus is a bit higher than the South Jordan
[5:24] campus because we have the two schools of West. But the reason
[5:27] that I want to do this at the South campus also is I do feel like
[5:32] the South campus is on the cusp of potentially going into TSI
[5:36] because of the ESL population. So here it's because of our
[5:42] special ed population over there is just a different look. Nevertheless it's
[5:48] still the same issue with the TSI CSI.
[5:51] What it seems to unite the teachers and the students.
[5:54] Absolutely.
[5:57] It does and I think that we need to stay united particularly as we're looking at two
[6:02] curricula that we have just brought in, one being the I-ready and the other one the
[6:06] C-K-L-A.
[6:07] So we also need to keep the teachers united as Tammy is saying and the administration united and I think that I think that this will help with that. These funds will come from the TSS safe funds.
[6:20] Yeah.
[6:20] Primarily.
[6:21] And so I've already worked this out with Kim McVeigh or in good shape as far as.
[6:26] All right. Good. Thank you.
[6:29] So, and it's, I mean, this, this is actually a doable fee schedule for us to accommodate
[6:40] this, the U Policy Center without taking this from general funds.
[6:45] So, I think that this is, I think this is something that we should do and need to do at Hopper Academy.
[6:53] I mean, and this may not be the last year that we do this.
[6:57] This I'm just going to the front load the board that if this is a successful route with the policy center.
[7:03] This could be a few years of partnering with them in order to get us not only out of CSI,
[7:08] but to get us beyond the CSI to where the kids are actually.
[7:11] Let me keep it in here.
[7:13] Correct.
[7:13] Where they're successful, where the teachers are successful and we're actually on a good trajectory.
[7:18] Yeah.
[7:18] and we're now going to need our funds going forward. Kim? You get TSSA every year. Yes.
[7:27] Okay. Okay. Yeah. All right. I was just saying yes. I'm here. Where do many? What did I say yes to?
[7:36] We're just talking about TSSA funds every year, receiving those funds and being in a good place to potentially do this kind of professional development.
[7:45] Yes, for the next few years with the U-Policy Center.
[7:48] Yep.
[7:49] Okay.
[7:50] Yep.
[7:50] Like we did.
[7:51] Yeah, we discussed it.
[7:53] And I don't know about, I mean,
[7:55] I do know about the rest of you,
[7:56] because I know how important this is.
[7:57] I feel like if,
[7:59] if spending a little bit more money
[8:02] or in a different way really makes a difference,
[8:06] that's the right thing to do.
[8:08] Yeah.
[8:08] Agreed.
[8:09] So,
[8:09] there's lots of different grants
[8:10] that we can look at.
[8:13] and they're using different grants as well,
[8:14] that TSA is pretty easy one to use.
[8:17] Yeah, so that's why we're here.
[8:18] Thank you, Priscilla.
[8:20] I just want to ask, is there a way of the forward
[8:22] can see the annual evaluation
[8:24] or forwarding?
[8:25] Yeah, we've been interested in all of that.
[8:26] Oh, yes.
[8:27] There's a matter of fact,
[8:28] though that we can see what the evidence is
[8:30] of what is being done for this money.
[8:32] Thank you for that.
[8:34] I actually will make sure that,
[8:38] because they should have already done one.
[8:39] Looks like an annual report.
[8:40] So I'm going to, I'm going to get that report to you.
[8:44] I'm going to get it just before the next 84 meeting or by.
[8:47] Absolutely. We'll all have it to you probably by the end of this week.
[8:51] So then you'll have it in your head.
[8:53] Because I was kind of fresh off.
[8:55] We reviewed it.
[8:56] So we'll get it to you guys.
[8:58] Yeah.
[8:59] Good thing.
[9:00] Thank you.
[9:01] So anyway, that, that is that's the proposal.
[9:05] It's about.
[9:06] the 72 plus the 60 whatever that 64 yes so do you want us to like 73 like not to exceed we
[9:18] do you want to separate her all together I think it would actually be good if they were separate
[9:23] just for accounting purposes I think that that would be helpful to Kim if they were separate Kim
[9:29] again can weigh in on that but I do think for the audit it would probably be beneficial if they
[9:34] were severed. Is motion? If we get more CSI funding as the year goes by and they only
[9:44] designate it for West Jordan this year than having it separate for each school would be beneficial.
[9:52] Thank you.
[9:55] All right. Thank you, Floyd. Yes.
[9:58] For the discussion. Can I please get emotion to approve the University of Utah education
[10:04] We should pause and send in contract for West Jordan campus, not to exceed $73,000.
[10:10] And the South Jordan campus, not to exceed the city system, $65,000.
[10:18] And most of them are pretty, the CSI contract, they're going to stay there.
[10:22] Second.
[10:24] All in favor?
[10:26] Aye.
[10:26] Aye.
[10:27] Thank you.
[10:28] The ballot portion.
[10:29] Welcome.
[10:30] Hi.
[10:36] Thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to come and do this today.
[10:49] Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Two pieces of this. The youth policy.
[10:53] So I'm going to be in board as well.
[10:55] Well, okay.
[10:57] Do I have to do so?
[10:58] I'll be here for the microphone.
[11:00] Because that's when we're starting with professional development for admin.
[11:04] First is in August and then we'll be a rocket on the teachers.
[11:07] Minimum Pod was just from me.
[11:09] We'll pick four of the minutes.
[11:10] Well, I'm sure they're meeting today at 9.45.
[11:13] Okay, thank you.
[11:15] Thank you.
[11:15] Thank you.
