00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:17,940
Please rise and recite the pledge together. Pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, to the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, into this whole liberty and justice for all.

2
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:19,240
Thank you.

3
00:00:23,630 --> 00:00:25,990
Thou on this loss will be answered tonight.

4
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:29,650
She is really inviting me up the rest of the story from the antibiotics.

5
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:30,890
I don't know.

6
00:00:31,150 --> 00:00:32,850
It's not going well right now.

7
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:38,120
The first piece of business is approval of the agenda.

8
00:00:38,980 --> 00:00:41,460
We have been presented.

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,740
We have a motion to accept it.

10
00:00:43,780 --> 00:00:44,160
Certainly.

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:45,800
I'm sorry.

12
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:47,460
Second.

13
00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:48,780
Miss Johnson.

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,240
She makes a motion.

15
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:51,700
Miss Johnson makes a second.

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,000
Any further discussion?

17
00:00:54,540 --> 00:00:58,400
Please raise your hand, be opposed.

18
00:00:59,180 --> 00:00:59,800
Thank you.

19
00:01:01,750 --> 00:01:07,300
Is there any individual here to address the board on an agenda item or a non agenda item?

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,780
We appreciate the attendance, but don't look like a vote right at the top.

21
00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:33,020
We had our second trip to South Dakota. I think GDU were going to kind of give you a perspective first and then we'll couple of participants in the audience as well.

22
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:41,480
I think for me, the greatest impression that it made for me because I was not looking

23
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:47,640
at it from the perspective that what some of the teachers were, about some of the detailed

24
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,160
things, curriculum, and that aspect.

25
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:59,040
So I was trying to just kind of look at maybe a broad overview of their school system.

26
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,180
And so there were several words that come to my mind that stick out to me.

27
00:02:04,660 --> 00:02:07,340
One is the language that they use.

28
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,740
I was so impressed with just the positive nature of the language in the schools,

29
00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:16,020
like on their walls.

30
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,300
The language that all of their staff uses, that the students use themselves,

31
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:28,780
you can tell that they really do use it because the kids use it.

32
00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:32,040
That's the language that they use back to you when they're talking.

33
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:39,760
The other was just the culture of learning that the students take ownership for their

34
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,000
own learning, and even at this young age, and I know we heard that from the first time

35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,560
that you went and you're thinking like these are, you know, really doing children like

36
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,100
how they take ownership for their learning, how they know what they need to learn.

37
00:02:53,100 --> 00:03:00,200
But it's very impressive. They do. They come in in the morning, they go about what

38
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,260
they're supposed to do. They get into their rooms. We were able to actually watch

39
00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:13,360
their opening morning session at the elementary school and then watch as they

40
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:23,080
did their right down into their classrooms and where they were and they're just

41
00:03:23,740 --> 00:03:29,020
They're very engaged, if you ask them questions, they can answer those questions.

42
00:03:29,180 --> 00:03:36,440
They will even ask you questions back, which I love that and I thought that's very hard

43
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,360
to teach and somehow in this process that they're teaching them to them.

44
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,700
And I also picked up on the fact that there is a huge fine end from the community for this

45
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:48,080
program.

46
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:56,840
the parents are totally supportive, they want their students in it, they call them students

47
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,080
but they call them learners which I love the idea of that because we're all learners.

48
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:11,000
When we went to the middle school we had the opportunity we were in their library area

49
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,600
but they used it as their, like their STEM,

50
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:15,540
the area of the field.

51
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,460
But we had two students that came in there to talk to us.

52
00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:25,740
And one was a seventh grade young man.

53
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,860
And he was showing us how he goes about his day

54
00:04:28,860 --> 00:04:31,220
and how he pulls up his schedule.

55
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,000
For the day he makes his own schedule.

56
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,900
He has options.

57
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,700
There are certain things that he's locked into

58
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,120
but he pulls up his schedule.

59
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,400
and Woody and I tried to recruit him to come back to Tallahama because he was an ex-hunt,

60
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:52,360
an athlete, and according to him, but do you think they're schooled?

61
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,440
That's right, but they're schooled and also a great success, but one of the questions

62
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,620
that Woody asked him was he was standing there, he said now, when you first started this,

63
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,380
did you just make your choices based on where your friends were going, like, did you,

64
00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:10,420
You know, you just look at it by around you and I go,

65
00:05:10,460 --> 00:05:12,060
well, I'm going to go to get something about that.

66
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,820
And he said, yes, he did it first.

67
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,360
But then he realized that that was not best.

68
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:19,240
And this were his words.

69
00:05:19,660 --> 00:05:21,200
That was not best for my learning.

70
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:26,540
So I'm trying to explain it to you

71
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:27,680
without you being there.

72
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,560
The best way that I can't say it's difficult to explain.

73
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,800
But it is a culture.

74
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,740
It's a, was he, like, two years into the program?

75
00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:43,400
did you ask him that? He had not done it and they did not have it at his elementary school.

76
00:05:43,580 --> 00:05:46,520
He was just doing this at the middle school.

77
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:52,260
And so anyway, I mean I kind of went with

78
00:05:52,260 --> 00:06:00,340
their, you know, just really a positive, very positive outlook about the problem that they're

79
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:07,940
doing, and the possibility for us to incorporate some of this, all of this, one of the most

80
00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:13,360
positive things that I would say is that the things that they're doing are things that

81
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:20,860
every teacher in all of our schools and every classroom could be incorporating into their

82
00:06:20,860 --> 00:06:21,820
learning.

83
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:24,000
So that was exciting for me.

84
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,200
I have a question.

85
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:31,780
So what motivates these learners to just go gun hoe and this program?

86
00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:35,360
What are they given some type of other incentive?

87
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:42,600
I mean, because it sounds a little bit atypical that you can have a whole schoolful of people

88
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,400
that just jump right in there.

89
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,320
I mean, what is in it for them that motivates them?

90
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:48,440
I mean, it's nice.

91
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:50,120
I don't know if I have the accountability.

92
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:50,740
Right.

93
00:06:51,440 --> 00:07:06,800
And somebody else might want to jump in here also, if something like, you know, if you had an idea about that, I would say that in the cohort, it is those teachers that are in the cohort are their driving man.

94
00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:09,180
Because it is just so positive.

95
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:13,000
It's also that the parents have a question that these children participate in and it's

96
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,300
obviously that's probably going to be a big route of the force to see because this is

97
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:19,140
so much of a choice, correct?

98
00:07:19,420 --> 00:07:21,460
Right now it's a choice and I think

99
00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:25,100
you know for me when we watched

100
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:27,020
I've watched two of the morning meetings now

101
00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:31,680
and one of the things that happens in these morning meetings

102
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,540
where there's 87 kids and the teachers are on the perimeter

103
00:07:35,540 --> 00:07:40,840
is every morning they give a shout out to a student that has achieved something to be able to

104
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:51,400
do. And so that motivator of positive reinforcement, it's powerful. And the kids do all like they get so

105
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:57,760
excited when they recognize another student or the other kids like they give on high pass. I mean,

106
00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:04,700
it was very genuine. It's a culture. And the thing of it is it's no longer school work.

107
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:19,080
They've almost taken the analogy of school being a mirror of work, homework, and the boss telling you what to do and I think that the phrase I kept hearing is time and time again is voice and choice.

108
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,280
The students have a voice and what's going on they have a choice.

109
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:25,980
And I know we've got dessert with anything else to do.

110
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,500
So what do you want to introduce the other two teachers that want this second trip here?

111
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:36,040
Yes, sir. We have Red Manning from Faire and Jennifer Maine from Romney Lake.

112
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,180
Okay. And you guys want to kind of share with your perspectives more?

113
00:08:40,460 --> 00:08:43,400
Yeah. If you don't mind, I'd say some pictures. Sure.

114
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,280
Put it in the perspective. I didn't. This is from, we, from the teachers, from the youths.

115
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:53,240
So, that's just the terrible war about the sympholes and the next pictures just for fun as well.

116
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,180
Of course, this year when you get any snow, we get those snow up to our place.

117
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,540
This right here just immediately impacted me as an educator.

118
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:11,600
All these kids, they held up in this group right here in the small pot area and the adults,

119
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,540
as you can see around the perimeter, are there teachers, there's another one over here,

120
00:09:15,660 --> 00:09:22,760
all camera, and the thing that really got me is that they start their day or the kids get

121
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,960
a chance to talk.

122
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,040
The adults didn't start it, or they started with the pleasure of the agency, but the kids

123
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:30,680
got to talk.

124
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,660
And I know, as a fifth grad teacher, the kids like to come in and they like to tell you

125
00:09:35,660 --> 00:09:36,040
stories.

126
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:38,360
They like to tell each other stories.

127
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:43,500
Well, this gave them a perfect opportunity to sit there to begin their day.

128
00:09:43,980 --> 00:09:47,940
They got to volunteer, and the one who's made me do it, so if you look to the next slide,

129
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,560
this little girl right here, she has a cube.

130
00:09:52,180 --> 00:10:04,700
It's got a microphone on top of it, and they grow that around, and each one gets to say something that happened to egg 4, and they have something called 16, how it's aligned.

131
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:13,720
Such as things they find humor in, things they find awe, things that inspires them, even things that they've built and posted for.

132
00:10:14,220 --> 00:10:19,340
And they would start there, like this little girl probably said something along the lines of last night, I felt

133
00:10:19,340 --> 00:10:26,220
found humor in 77. And the kids could be all excited about it, and then they would pass the cube to somebody else.

134
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,580
And keep spreading that and spreading that, and then the kids would enjoy it.

135
00:10:31,260 --> 00:10:37,620
And listen to it, they clap for each other, and there's a little, little guy that would bring everybody else to attention.

136
00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:39,800
and the little cute little phrase that will kneel out,

137
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:42,240
everybody will snap immediately to attention.

138
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,680
So you could tell that this was something

139
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:47,480
that they had rehearsed and practiced and practiced

140
00:10:48,140 --> 00:10:49,860
and now they got it perfected

141
00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:52,120
and these kids were very well-paid

142
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,680
and know exactly what to do for each cute.

143
00:10:56,180 --> 00:10:58,140
Well, and just back on the last picture,

144
00:10:58,260 --> 00:11:01,560
that was just shown, just the kids that aren't speaking

145
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,760
are turned to that speaker and listening to her.

146
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:07,380
And I know I don't question that since we work on with that,

147
00:11:07,380 --> 00:11:13,320
it speaks to their culture and how that is and they do every day but I think that's very

148
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,000
interesting.

149
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,080
And then I have different things I think they do every day during the morning meetings

150
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,620
to talk about current events which would be something to be able to have that time that's

151
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:24,840
dedicated to that.

152
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,880
I can't ask a good question.

153
00:11:28,420 --> 00:11:31,460
So does that feel like a lot of the frustration we're not understanding the contrast?

154
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,680
So would you say typical if I'm thinking about our schools the ways that you come in you're

155
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:37,920
in the cafeteria and you're going to be quiet.

156
00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:40,320
That's your first thing you've got to do at school,

157
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,620
like as it stands, man, right?

158
00:11:42,820 --> 00:11:45,060
I mean, I'm just trying to think of what does it look like

159
00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:47,440
for a morning here right now compared to that?

160
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,020
Because I think that that's the example you're saying

161
00:11:50,020 --> 00:11:51,180
is there's so much energy,

162
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,080
because they can immediately come in

163
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,280
and whatever and I think,

164
00:11:54,620 --> 00:11:55,460
probably the contrast,

165
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:57,420
if I'm not mistaken,

166
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:58,240
it's just that it's like,

167
00:11:58,660 --> 00:12:00,500
come in and sit down and have that to be quiet.

168
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,380
Well, I would tell you that they do have a waiting area

169
00:12:04,380 --> 00:12:09,680
in their lunchrooms. Okay. Come off the buses. And of course they all have their snow pants and their

170
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:11,820
boots and all that. So they come off the buses.

171
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,740
And they drop them off and then they do have a

172
00:12:16,740 --> 00:12:23,180
breakfast which is controlled. So this would be like after your first meal to kind of get the

173
00:12:23,180 --> 00:12:28,760
cohort. And they go to that home studio to be like the lunch got in attendance. And then they do this. Okay.

174
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,500
They pair up and they all get off to that home area. Okay. I was trying to figure out the

175
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,240
of the statistics that when you're doing your rents.

176
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,780
Very interesting stuff, yep.

177
00:12:37,820 --> 00:12:40,400
So I've been talking about incentives

178
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,360
as you can point out, each teacher went around the room

179
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,140
and talked about so and so as a master of this

180
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:50,900
and then got a certificate and the kids

181
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:52,100
have five each other.

182
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:55,600
There was also a birthday committee, which I thought was,

183
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,300
I mean, just so simple to make about the birthday committee

184
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:02,100
where every day you celebrate from my birthday,

185
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:07,220
That's been a day. The day that we were there, it's not a child's birthday, but a form of teachers' birthdays.

186
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,320
It's a birthday committee saying, I have a birthday to all of them.

187
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,980
And I just thought, that's an amazing way to solve it.

188
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,600
I can call them this evening sometime after that.

189
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,160
Why are we not being able to do it right now?

190
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:19,380
I'm sorry.

191
00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:28,220
This next slide, then, they then go to a reading.

192
00:13:28,220 --> 00:13:35,600
There are 90 block reed station, which is, they're using more of a blended station rotation.

193
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,860
The previous slide was damn doing a full group, every day a start full group and do some

194
00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:47,020
kind of reading many less than together, and then they break into the station rotation.

195
00:13:47,940 --> 00:13:52,360
This picture's just a show they're flexible seating that they have, I thought it was pretty

196
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,600
interesting because they're using little risers on their desks to some standing areas and

197
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,560
And they've got some square tables and some things like that.

198
00:14:00,660 --> 00:14:02,540
That we're using here until home around now.

199
00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:06,020
But they have a station rotation.

200
00:14:07,140 --> 00:14:10,520
And each child knows exactly where you go to when

201
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,180
to go based on the schedule they have.

202
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,460
They break it into two parts.

203
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,920
You have two groups that are learning to read.

204
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,660
And you have two groups that are reading to learn.

205
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,160
and it's not a great level dependent.

206
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,880
You are an older thing, they call them little's,

207
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,100
mills, and mullers dollars.

208
00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:34,880
You're an older, you're still going to have them

209
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,620
to reach.

210
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,800
And that's the spark they're going to push you in

211
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,080
until you are ready to move on to the next part.

212
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,160
Let's take care of this.

213
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,960
The place, I saw a little second grader

214
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:46,760
and then ready to learn.

215
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,560
And he was bringing the big one up with the rest of it.

216
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:56,540
So, um, the station says they did revise all daily, five daily, three, which is not unlike

217
00:14:56,540 --> 00:14:58,400
what we're doing right now.

218
00:14:58,980 --> 00:14:59,960
Um, but...

219
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:27,280
Students are picking in the learning to read the students are picking what session they go to and win during the week. They have like a coaching session with their teacher, their facilitator to come up with a schedule, but again they have ownership even in their station formation schedule. And just giving them that little piece of ownership makes the fillers possible for their learning. And you mean more like they're going to have to go all the stations, but I can just add them with different words.

220
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:40,800
So we had to plan that time for myself, the station, the teacher, how to station and they were divided up around the room, then again the kids need more to go, thanks on that schedule, everything is laid out for them.

221
00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:49,720
I'm the next lot I think that have examples, let's see, some more, I think I did, but

222
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,640
they had it laid out day by day, and they grew in my color, there's white, there's red,

223
00:15:55,140 --> 00:15:59,660
yellow, and each day they are looking at.

224
00:16:00,540 --> 00:16:05,000
One of the stations is they're reading to themselves, there's another station where they're

225
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,240
They're listening to something red, there's vocabulary,

226
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,600
and so all students do exactly what to do

227
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,580
based off their schedule.

228
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:18,220
And while each of the four rooms

229
00:16:18,220 --> 00:16:20,460
that I went into, everybody was doing it very clearly.

230
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,700
There was not any kind of,

231
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,940
what do I do, what do I do?

232
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,040
It was all in there, you know.

233
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,720
I really think I do want to get rid of that slide,

234
00:16:30,820 --> 00:16:31,840
so maybe I can get my award.

235
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:39,620
This one right here is the way they do their math and they have measurement topics over there's the left and that's part of the state.

236
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:44,180
And then they had the color coded and each color believes the grade level.

237
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:54,220
And so I believe that the grade or the black, I think that's actually the black color over there is fifth grade and second grade all the way in that blueish color.

238
00:16:54,220 --> 00:17:01,040
So what you're looking at is one student that the parents can see, the student can see,

239
00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:02,200
the teacher can see it.

240
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:08,680
So this one particular student, I don't know if he was an older or an older but was doing

241
00:17:09,180 --> 00:17:15,320
some of the things that was in the fifth grade, money in time was still back, it was something

242
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,180
that would be targeted.

243
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:23,560
So it's kind of like GPS farming, every student knew what their strengths and their areas

244
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:29,760
of growth were, and so the teachers that can also do that and recluster the kids based

245
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,140
on what the child is missing.

246
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:33,920
So who creates that?

247
00:17:33,940 --> 00:17:37,220
Is that like a software program that's created this, or the teachers created that?

248
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:49,880
I believe Mr. Light in their creative working people create that program that they have a vendor

249
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,720
that created it for them, which we can use the same

250
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,240
program. The part that is the heavy lift is the alignment

251
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,800
of the topics and breaking the strands down.

252
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,980
And I think, Susan, you've got to speak to the sequencing

253
00:18:07,980 --> 00:18:08,940
of it and such.

254
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,980
Sure. They have teacher statements as well to

255
00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:16,700
help look at the standards and put them in

256
00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:21,420
potential order, in that way, and at any time, so it used to be taught more in the field

257
00:18:21,420 --> 00:18:26,660
and said, in terms of their placement, their progression is set unless they choose to

258
00:18:26,660 --> 00:18:31,860
change it, because so much of what we do is sequential. And so they looked at the grade level

259
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:36,360
savers for place value and said, okay, there's what they were in first or in second grade,

260
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:42,600
they're grade 4th, grade 5th, grade, but the child is able to move fluidly through those from

261
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:49,600
one rank to the next. They removed the milestones that were put in by an identified grade

262
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,400
level. And so that's the, and she said I was talking to the group one director and she

263
00:18:54,400 --> 00:19:00,340
said they were constantly tweaking this. So they're a breakdown season so like one, now

264
00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:04,780
one of these, like one of these stuff topics would then have lots of the strengths underneath

265
00:19:04,780 --> 00:19:12,580
it, obviously. So, so when you look at place value, when you see, when you see the, when

266
00:19:12,580 --> 00:19:15,960
the black on the end, those are good, right?

267
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,260
But if I was on MT-10, and that's what we're looking at,

268
00:19:20,540 --> 00:19:23,400
I would open up and there would be a series of lessons

269
00:19:23,980 --> 00:19:26,720
that would address MT-10, because MT-10 could be

270
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,580
one standard, even if it's a big standard,

271
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,500
or it could be a thread of standards

272
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:33,780
that all have something in common.

273
00:19:34,020 --> 00:19:34,200
Okay,

274
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:39,540
what else can I say?

275
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,180
This one right here.

276
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,560
I learned on practice on master,

277
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:45,120
that's their targets in math.

278
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,500
and they learn how to practice it in a straight way.

279
00:19:49,060 --> 00:19:53,860
This is a different model that they use.

280
00:19:54,020 --> 00:19:58,300
It's also blended where they get to coach in sessions

281
00:19:58,300 --> 00:19:59,420
as needed with a teacher.

282
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,700
And there was always someone who coached.

283
00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:05,040
And there's several students learning on their own pace.

284
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:06,920
Some of them weren't there showing that they

285
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:07,860
have mastered something.

286
00:20:10,180 --> 00:20:10,780
Absolutely.

287
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,240
The eye practice, I think it really

288
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:20,120
need. It lets the students practice in different ways. The students are all in one of the math

289
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:25,120
classes. They're just doing task cards, like we do all the time, but when they finish something

290
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:30,100
they're taking a picture of it, whether I've had to submit it to their teacher. So their teacher

291
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:34,880
sees it immediately, thinking they should do that. They understand this, they need a coaching session,

292
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,800
so that immediate feedback to the students is saying, well, they need to come back to our

293
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,160
learned or I could be willing to maybe draw a master.

294
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,180
I took a couple of pictures and some students doing some of those three things that they

295
00:20:47,180 --> 00:20:47,620
looked at.

296
00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:51,960
That's the reading thing I was talking about, so I got that mixed up in my slides, but

297
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,200
each day they have their three or four stations they get to and every time a certain time

298
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:58,660
to go.

299
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:04,460
It was the next one, but everybody starts full group and everybody at some point will have

300
00:21:04,460 --> 00:21:05,420
got it with the teacher.

301
00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:13,420
This, I got this from a little girl's bucket, I could take a picture of this, and they're

302
00:21:13,420 --> 00:21:17,700
foldered and they have a mouth gold sheet and the old continuum that you saw in a minute

303
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:23,840
ago, which they keep track of themselves, and each day they can decide if they're learning

304
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,240
in, or they crash saying in, what are they going to master it, the topics and so forth, so

305
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,580
a lot of their learnings in their hands, and they have a lot of choice and the speed that

306
00:21:34,580 --> 00:21:36,560
they do it, which is brings in the personalization.

307
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,500
These are some girls that were proud to see that they were doing money.

308
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,420
Probably, these were some, little's and middle's.

309
00:21:49,180 --> 00:21:54,780
And they went for the reason, plastic money, and these cards, and they were going at it,

310
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,800
they were working at it, working at it, working at it.

311
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,860
That's just one of the many stations going on.

312
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,600
Probably six or seven different stations going on, and I just have to take this one picture.

313
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,540
And the thing of it is, is that the technology has not replaced the benefits.

314
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:20,320
The technology is there to support and is used from an appropriate, so yeah, go ahead.

315
00:22:20,620 --> 00:22:23,260
This girl here is doing voice and choice.

316
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,220
Once you master a topic and have proof and then you master that topic, then you get to

317
00:22:29,220 --> 00:22:31,220
do a voice and choice project.

318
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,960
She's doing one over money.

319
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,720
and it looks like I believe she was doing some kind of post.

320
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,660
That's all there's various different projects.

321
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:39,600
There weren't all posters.

322
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,420
They're all very super ones that they were doing,

323
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,420
but they had a forcing choice where they got to pick

324
00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:47,320
but they wanted to do for a similar heart

325
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,180
in that particular standard.

326
00:22:52,020 --> 00:22:56,200
This is a little girl who is doing a master's sheet

327
00:22:56,820 --> 00:22:59,480
and that's a picture of a master's sheet that's upside down

328
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,340
but they had to prove their mastery in three ways

329
00:23:03,740 --> 00:23:10,660
And sometimes they would have to prove it made the algorithm all by the model, all by maybe the journal.

330
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,940
So there's different ways they had to prove the master in.

331
00:23:14,420 --> 00:23:16,940
They did have to prove it through a coaching session as well.

332
00:23:18,540 --> 00:23:21,560
And once again, they would upload that to their teacher.

333
00:23:21,940 --> 00:23:25,020
And once the master is proven, they would have gone to voice and choice.

334
00:23:30,130 --> 00:23:39,030
I told my students I said, you guys can't handle 32 degrees, I said, ask a little, second

335
00:23:39,030 --> 00:23:45,830
or a little, with a little little, to how close it for you can't go outside, and she

336
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:51,610
looked at me all the way up there and said, you see your other group, and I said, I'm

337
00:23:53,430 --> 00:23:57,290
And that's one of the teachers I'll just have to say.

338
00:23:57,550 --> 00:23:59,030
Yeah, that's my last question.

339
00:23:59,790 --> 00:24:02,510
If that's 40 degrees forward, then that's a pretty big three.

340
00:24:07,190 --> 00:24:12,230
Just one more point about the rate per, I think it was the amount that I was all was really neat.

341
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:21,230
They're the lower over who they want to play a game as part of a practice and she needed

342
00:24:21,230 --> 00:24:24,510
to find a partner to play it with, so instead of just wanting to think can you play, can

343
00:24:24,510 --> 00:24:25,150
you play, can you play?

344
00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:29,910
They had a board up there with every child's name on it and a magnet.

345
00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:35,410
And if you're ready, if you want to play a game, a magnet game, you would have the magnet

346
00:24:35,410 --> 00:24:36,170
next to your name.

347
00:24:36,790 --> 00:24:40,570
So she would look up there, I said, and I looked at her and I said, so how do you pick a partner?

348
00:24:40,570 --> 00:24:43,710
She goes, that person right there has a magnet in her name.

349
00:24:43,910 --> 00:24:46,930
So she put her magnet into a tube, they will get together.

350
00:24:47,330 --> 00:24:49,430
Sure enough, in five minutes later, they were informed

351
00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:50,330
of the magnet together.

352
00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:55,250
So none of it had to go, this fake, can I, can I do this,

353
00:24:55,250 --> 00:24:56,010
can I do this, can I do this, can I do this, can I?

354
00:24:56,730 --> 00:24:59,450
They were running in a classroom running in the correct way.

355
00:24:59,690 --> 00:25:00,970
It was very fluid, very organized.

356
00:25:04,740 --> 00:25:05,860
That was strange, wasn't it?

357
00:25:07,980 --> 00:25:09,680
OK, so how much of it, would you say,

358
00:25:09,860 --> 00:25:12,120
is the structure of the program, like that thing

359
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,240
you're talking about, I guess I'm trying to figure out

360
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,700
is second to fifth grade them all being covered

361
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:19,440
and all that, I'm like getting that visual and everything.

362
00:25:19,860 --> 00:25:21,580
And then I'm trying to wonder what parts of this

363
00:25:21,580 --> 00:25:23,720
can you just incorporate, because it has nothing to do

364
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,780
is you need to have a second to fifth grade.

365
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:27,460
You know what I'm saying, like the birthday committee,

366
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,540
like you called back and said,

367
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,540
well obviously we can start that now, you know?

368
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:32,480
Like what about even the mind and thing

369
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,340
and having that ability in your own classroom?

370
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,660
Absolutely, like we can absolutely do a lot of the things

371
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:38,200
that they're doing right now in our classrooms.

372
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,280
I think the powerful thing about this

373
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,640
is the personalization, and that the kids get exactly what they need and when they need it.

374
00:25:47,340 --> 00:25:53,300
And instead of, you know, when I do lesson plans, I'm making them on Saturday or Sunday,

375
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,380
and that's what we're going to do for the week. But if I have a child that's already mastered it,

376
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:05,280
I need to have something else. And I think this program is so personal as if those kids get exactly what they need,

377
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,000
when they need it. But when they need the teacher, and they see the teacher often,

378
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,720
they still have that as a resource.

379
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:13,880
You know what I was going to talk.

380
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,060
I'm thinking about my second grade babies,

381
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,900
and I talk second grade,

382
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,520
and I think they're going to be looking at the app

383
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,800
as a whole entire time.

384
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:20,840
Like, what is that teacher?

385
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:21,960
What is her role?

386
00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:25,520
But seeing her as a facilitator,

387
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,680
it really evolved in the classroom,

388
00:26:28,140 --> 00:26:29,340
and those kids use their office,

389
00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:31,560
but they use the technology as a leverage

390
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,700
to what they mean.

391
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,020
It's not all the tech.

392
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,940
The teachers use the best instructional practices

393
00:26:36,940 --> 00:26:39,720
and the time is just a tool to use.

394
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,260
I was just wondering what component

395
00:26:41,260 --> 00:26:44,980
you could possibly already incorporate without, you know.

396
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:49,120
I think the continuum, that's one of the advantages

397
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:52,180
put in the standards of the continuum, the kind of work.

398
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,220
And I think the other awesome thing that they had

399
00:26:55,220 --> 00:26:58,420
is that empower that computer platform

400
00:26:58,420 --> 00:27:03,300
where the work is put in, I'll learn a practice.

401
00:27:03,460 --> 00:27:06,260
I'll ask her, that's impressive

402
00:27:06,260 --> 00:27:09,440
because in Tutorials, no child has ever said,

403
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,640
what am I supposed to be doing?

404
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:13,500
I mean, I think they do a great job

405
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:18,340
on the front end of really hammering the expectations

406
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:20,420
of the procedures and that kind of stuff.

407
00:27:21,500 --> 00:27:25,640
But even after that, the program has to have married

408
00:27:28,260 --> 00:27:30,520
that platform with the content

409
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,580
that don't have married for you

410
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:33,880
that have kids all over the place.

411
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,160
And I think the choice is another really important thing.

412
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,620
I think it speaks to what you guys are going to do, Dr. Lynn.

413
00:27:41,260 --> 00:27:49,600
You know, hey, why is there a school out there that everybody's just saying, hey, I'm ready for this, but I get the fact that the students do get some freedom.

414
00:27:49,940 --> 00:27:57,640
I think they do get some input, some choices over not all the time, and it's not chaotic, it's not out of control.

415
00:27:58,140 --> 00:28:03,080
But the students do sometimes get to say, you know, I know everybody else is doing it that way.

416
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:09,260
but I think I can prove to you what I'm supposed to know my way and that's

417
00:28:09,260 --> 00:28:13,520
accepted and then there are other times where it's not accepted where no we need

418
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,060
to show us these three ways so I think that student we call it student

419
00:28:18,060 --> 00:28:24,580
ownership I think that is a really important aspect of them taking responsibility

420
00:28:24,580 --> 00:28:29,020
they're taking ownership and I think when that interest is there they are much

421
00:28:29,020 --> 00:28:33,280
more eager to proceed with their education.

422
00:28:33,740 --> 00:28:37,260
Some of the things that I've seen might find you tricks up there.

423
00:28:37,980 --> 00:28:42,120
Go back to when I was a classroom teacher, both the elementary and the high school.

424
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,320
It's just good teaching.

425
00:28:45,060 --> 00:28:45,960
Student-centered classroom.

426
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,400
I mean, we talked about it in our mystery of teamings.

427
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,060
What is a characteristic of effective instruction?

428
00:28:51,940 --> 00:28:58,760
The thing that's difficult, if you're looking at a, say, fourth grade, is that fourth grade

429
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:06,280
content window is so small and I wish I had been in you know I'm having flashbacks

430
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,800
to say well they've mastered all the fourth grade stuff what do you want to do the fifth grade stuff

431
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:16,220
well but what they do that what are they going to do in sixth grade so having this this span I think

432
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,900
it allows for kids to have an aptitude of certain areas to learn it deeper and wide

433
00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:27,620
white, the deeper one. The other thing is that what do you just say, I've introduced

434
00:29:27,620 --> 00:29:32,620
the other, the team will talk to me with kind of like the next steps. The thing I want

435
00:29:32,620 --> 00:29:39,500
to stress on this cohort that you saw pictures of, you saw kids, right? And within these

436
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:46,100
great, within these cohorts, they, they take it so that you have so many kids at disability

437
00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:49,720
at disability level, so many kids at disability level, so many kids at disability level.

438
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:58,080
And so it is truly a mixed bag, and special ed students are a part of them.

439
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
Senator talent and gifted are a part of which is I think one of you said you had a second grader in news and reading books with the, you know, the, the older such. And I think that's really powerful in that, in that setting, we've taken this sifting and sorting kids by age and now they're sifted and sorted by learning styles. And again, if, if I had a special needs child, I would want them in that environment because they're just emersed, they're just emers. You want to go ahead and introduce the right

440
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:39,100
the team. I'm sorry. I don't know whether you talk to anybody about it whether the time frame

441
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:47,000
allows for an answer but I would wonder also as I was doing in this approach of the style of

442
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:57,740
learning has had a positive impact on reading ability for kids going into middle school and high

443
00:30:57,740 --> 00:31:02,600
school because that's one of, you know, it's a hot spot, you know, did you not learn to read

444
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,840
in elementary school now? You're going out of tubes. So that's what I wanted to know is that

445
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:14,140
has been evidence yet. Also, I can't really speak to the evidence. I can speak to the flexibility

446
00:31:14,140 --> 00:31:22,220
of the structure because when they're in reading, they are reading and they actually kind of study

447
00:31:22,220 --> 00:31:27,200
how much of a reading time we actually spend reading and how much we spend on, you know,

448
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:34,680
grammar or other spelling and that kind of stuff and so that each separated all of that from reading and they have a reading time and

449
00:31:36,580 --> 00:31:41,860
Certainly some of it is informational days and let's you know pull information out of text

450
00:31:41,860 --> 00:31:48,120
But some of it is anyone mind you are reading and they really move down reading from the entire year

451
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,540
So is there evidence of that I don't know that I can answer that question

452
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,740
That's one of the questions I had.

453
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,600
And I don't know how their state testing compares

454
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,680
to our state testing.

455
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,280
I do not know that, but they did say

456
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,700
that there was an increase in scores

457
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,520
on their state testing for the reading portion.

458
00:32:11,140 --> 00:32:12,960
I don't know how big of an increase there was

459
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,340
and I don't know anything about their state test.

460
00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:16,420
And they've only done this.

461
00:32:16,580 --> 00:32:18,440
This is their fourth year.

462
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:19,820
Yes, this is their fourth year.

463
00:32:19,820 --> 00:32:21,760
Yeah, you might share about the ACT.

464
00:32:22,180 --> 00:32:25,680
They did say at the high school level,

465
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,800
When we were there for the first trip, that the schoolers

466
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,900
had almost a few points increase of ACT scores,

467
00:32:33,060 --> 00:32:34,820
when they don't hear those here within.

468
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,980
There's a customized task.

469
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:41,020
The personalized task was here to those in the traditional.

470
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:44,220
I have a question.

471
00:32:45,620 --> 00:32:48,060
Did any of you all go in the traditional classroom?

472
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,420
No, I'm just wondering how much, because to me,

473
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:54,300
it sounds like there's so much, like you were talking about,

474
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:55,540
that could be used there.

475
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,220
And I wonder how they're incorporating that.

476
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:02,940
I wonder how many kids there, and they were there.

477
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:07,000
The only thing, I was able to step away

478
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,800
from the group while I was there, just to kind of snoop.

479
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:14,420
And I think the biggest, just doing a two minute walk

480
00:33:14,420 --> 00:33:18,240
through a bunch of classrooms, the biggest difference was

481
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,920
it was this was student-directed, and when you went into

482
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,020
a traditional classroom that was in the teacher class.

483
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,260
So they still had a lot of the things,

484
00:33:27,260 --> 00:33:29,380
but it was the teacher telling the kids,

485
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,320
okay, now we're gonna do this.

486
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,060
And there wasn't the voice in the choice.

487
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,960
Right, so that reminds me of Montessori.

488
00:33:37,060 --> 00:33:38,700
Has anyone, I don't know if anyone,

489
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,440
I, much of them didn't do Montessori,

490
00:33:40,580 --> 00:33:42,380
but I'm never mad at educational classes.

491
00:33:42,940 --> 00:33:44,360
That was like, you know, that was her big thing,

492
00:33:44,460 --> 00:33:45,900
is that the kids directed, so I wondered,

493
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,120
does this look like grown up?

494
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:48,720
Did you say your education classes,

495
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,140
your college class, all of that?

496
00:33:50,140 --> 00:33:50,360
Yeah.

497
00:33:51,200 --> 00:34:02,120
That's what scared me because if the way it was presented to me in 1974 was that I got

498
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:07,420
to choose, and I got about eight choices, and if they've been me, I've been looking

499
00:34:07,420 --> 00:34:08,640
for recessed choices.

500
00:34:09,180 --> 00:34:12,280
I was always a little bit nervous about it.

501
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,180
That's really cool.

502
00:34:13,220 --> 00:34:13,880
That's what they're doing.

503
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:14,940
They're choosing.

504
00:34:14,940 --> 00:34:19,840
Well, somebody from the last presentation said that sooner or later, if somebody's looking

505
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,440
to be, uh, someone where I had chills in the other items.

506
00:34:23,740 --> 00:34:24,540
With him, forever.

507
00:34:24,940 --> 00:34:30,560
When you moved on to the middle school, you know, one of the kids told us we were asking

508
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,680
about a schedule before, back to two science classes, because he had a science test that

509
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:34,880
day.

510
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,120
He knew my...

511
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,260
That was his choice.

512
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,540
He could double up.

513
00:34:38,740 --> 00:34:39,120
That's what he said.

514
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,760
I could double up on science today.

515
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:42,900
Tomorrow, he'll do something else.

516
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:47,480
But also, I was a teacher and locked to me into some things, like there's some things.

517
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,760
Yeah, there's some accountability there.

518
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,840
Class I had didn't mention much of that.

519
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:03,440
My natural learning desires would lead me to get everything back into the year, and I know me pretty well,

520
00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:06,420
and that probably would not be what I would do.

521
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,520
The thing you keep in mind is the monastery that's a good analogy.

522
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,600
I just wondered if I applied.

523
00:35:13,860 --> 00:35:20,000
Yeah, but the kicker was in that they did not have the means to manage all the children.

524
00:35:20,540 --> 00:35:25,220
Whereas in this model, they do have the means to manage all the children.

525
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,820
Plus give us the ticket speed.

526
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,300
And I did ask one little girl the question because she was just working away.

527
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:35,760
And I said, okay, so what happens if you don't understand something?

528
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,660
Like you're trying to do this and you don't understand it.

529
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,920
You don't know what you're supposed to be doing.

530
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,740
And she said, well, first I asked three.

531
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:47,200
So there's like, she could ask three people for some help.

532
00:35:47,660 --> 00:35:52,000
And she said, or I just text her email on her.

533
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,220
I've had my coach and said, they'll enter me right back.

534
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,440
And then, or they'll say, they'll come over to them.

535
00:35:59,620 --> 00:36:02,200
So because I thought, what do you do if you just get stuck

536
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,660
and you don't really know what you're doing.

537
00:36:03,860 --> 00:36:06,300
So that did not seem to be a problem at all either.

538
00:36:07,180 --> 00:36:12,320
You know, when we went to Collierville and the student was there instructing the class,

539
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:19,300
the teacher's back, that was very impressive because I know, in my own experience, there's

540
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:23,320
a different level from being able to pass a test yourself and being able to instruct

541
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,120
someone, especially a group that's on varying levels of understanding.

542
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:32,180
Dr. Dillay, you want to introduce the team here?

543
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,160
You're making progress on your arm, I think.

544
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:41,820
Yes, sir.

545
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,640
It's lovely, Mr.

546
00:36:43,820 --> 00:36:44,540
Good to meet you.

547
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:45,600
Thank you.

548
00:36:46,260 --> 00:36:50,240
The thing, and I want to brag on these guys a little bit in that.

549
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:55,620
So we went out to South Dakota, we came home and they immediately wanted to start unpacking the curriculum

550
00:36:55,620 --> 00:36:57,440
and start working through things, right?

551
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,260
And so as they were trying to figure out times and such,

552
00:37:01,740 --> 00:37:03,780
I think Brett, you had a commitment at the house,

553
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,140
he had to go home and be with the kids.

554
00:37:05,940 --> 00:37:08,120
And so if you look at this week's blog post,

555
00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:13,280
there's a picture of these four working in the room

556
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,620
and Brett's, you know, he Skype did or he googled it.

557
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,840
So they were modeling what 21st century

558
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,980
nearly needs to look like.

559
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,540
And even though they were indifferent,

560
00:37:24,540 --> 00:37:26,780
You know, four of them were together and Brent was not.

561
00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:31,120
They were all there working and chairing a common doc.

562
00:37:31,820 --> 00:37:34,400
And really, and truly, that's the way learning is going

563
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,980
to look like and what they were practicing.

564
00:37:37,820 --> 00:37:40,220
Anything you ladies would want to add to it?

565
00:37:41,620 --> 00:37:44,880
No, I think we're hearing some of the exact same things

566
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,080
that we mentioned, from our trip.

567
00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:51,180
This guy was less adventurous in some aspects,

568
00:37:51,180 --> 00:37:54,640
But I'm still very excited, very excited.

569
00:37:55,060 --> 00:37:58,760
Well, someone on our team, his last year,

570
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:00,120
she kept wanting snow.

571
00:38:00,340 --> 00:38:03,640
She wanted to see a snow, she wanted to see a snow.

572
00:38:03,660 --> 00:38:05,920
And so when we got it to the Sioux Falls Airport

573
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,600
and they're de-icing the place,

574
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,260
and it was all those weeks outside of the beach,

575
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,460
I'm thinking, jeez, jeez.

576
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:14,120
I'm like, I'm like, are you happy now?

577
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:16,660
We're sitting on this floor.

578
00:38:17,340 --> 00:38:20,000
So kind of our next steps

579
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:25,200
is between now and into the fall where we do need to do a curriculum alignment.

580
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:31,320
We need to unpack the curriculum, Susan is the point person on that and getting things

581
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,200
in that sequential order, that'll be the next step.

582
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,600
The next step after that is we need to talk to the Travis or some other folks.

583
00:38:40,140 --> 00:38:44,840
We may have someone here and told a woman that can build us the platform that we can do

584
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,460
that pre-assessment piece.

585
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:48,540
We need to get that in place.

586
00:38:48,540 --> 00:38:56,860
And then we need to decide, at that point, probably this time next year will be recruiting

587
00:38:56,860 --> 00:39:03,840
kids or trying to find a sample size of students to be for this first go around and such.

588
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,020
There will be some stipulations with that.

589
00:39:08,140 --> 00:39:13,060
I know at the board table we've talked about having it be an open application from Cross

590
00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:19,260
industry that has yet to be determined, but whoever the parents are, they need to know

591
00:39:19,260 --> 00:39:24,360
upfront that this is a pilot project, that is their choice to have their children be

592
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:31,660
a part of it. The technology piece, they're going to probably need some kind of a surface.

593
00:39:32,060 --> 00:39:39,020
They did not use pro-books or laptops. They had an iPad or a surface, but that's what they

594
00:39:39,020 --> 00:39:45,600
carry with them so that they could, you know, prop it up use it and then also use it as a direct

595
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:52,140
means of communication with their teachers and such. And then so for the 2021 school year,

596
00:39:52,720 --> 00:40:01,140
these four right here would be piloting it at Robert E. Lee and such. So we're continuing to move

597
00:40:01,140 --> 00:40:06,140
forward and we'll continue to give you guys updates on that just for the benefit of the board

598
00:40:06,140 --> 00:40:12,480
right after spring break. We're making a trip to see some schools up in Iowa.

599
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:17,660
Kathy Rose, Principal Rose's here. She's got some for teammates and we'll be

600
00:40:17,660 --> 00:40:23,020
looking to see what that secondary piece needs to look like. I guess, again,

601
00:40:23,140 --> 00:40:27,860
the thing this time, which was very interesting was to see how I continued

602
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:32,900
through the middle school and into the high school and that there was the same

603
00:40:32,900 --> 00:40:41,800
language all the way through so yeah yeah good presentation thanks y'all thank

604
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:51,100
you guys all right let's move to consent agenda and if it's always asking if there's

605
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:55,560
anybody else to move on and if it's all right I'm going to move I would like to move on it

606
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,820
And that's the boardwork groups.

607
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,680
So I'm entertaining the motion for consent agenda

608
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,000
for the minutes it's late.

609
00:41:04,340 --> 00:41:05,900
Is there a motion to accept?

610
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:06,780
I'm sorry.

611
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:08,900
I'm just over it here.

612
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:10,440
So I'll have to lay it.

613
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:12,860
Any further questions?

614
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,420
We are moving into where?

615
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,600
To the next piece of information.

616
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,960
I just want to discuss that just a little bit.

617
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:21,400
OK.

618
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,880
All those in favor of the consent agenda

619
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,660
As it remains, please raise your hand, the body's separate.

620
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,600
Let me get a motion on the floor first for the work groups,

621
00:41:33,740 --> 00:41:35,820
which I'm assuming that basically what we want to do

622
00:41:35,820 --> 00:41:38,400
is get the information to remember, is that correct?

623
00:41:38,660 --> 00:41:38,860
Correct.

624
00:41:39,660 --> 00:41:43,160
We have a motion to accept the board of work groups

625
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,300
as presented by the staff.

626
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:45,580
So I'll head to it.

627
00:41:46,940 --> 00:41:47,260
Second.

628
00:41:48,260 --> 00:41:48,560
Thank you.

629
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,020
That was ours.

630
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:50,820
That's the power.

631
00:41:50,820 --> 00:41:51,800
I'll be in the office.

632
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:51,980
I'll be in the office.

633
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:55,220
Thank you.

634
00:41:55,260 --> 00:41:56,700
Any further discussion?

635
00:41:57,940 --> 00:41:59,860
I'd like to further discussion.

636
00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:01,360
Just a quick thing I prepared.

637
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,180
And this please we know that this

638
00:42:05,860 --> 00:42:10,200
Outward to my feelings before we had new work rules on the old system.

639
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:11,780
Work rules for committees.

640
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,020
Work independent administration.

641
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,400
The administration is a big help.

642
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:17,940
We're coordinating meeting places.

643
00:42:18,980 --> 00:42:23,280
members are available and notifying the staff members that they may be needed to provide

644
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:24,100
information.

645
00:42:25,020 --> 00:42:29,080
I also remember that the committees have an investigator's responsibility to give advice

646
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:34,180
to the board with action as necessary, only the board and its majority vote can take action.

647
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,520
After one of them always get plenty of weight to the administration and committee advice,

648
00:42:39,060 --> 00:42:40,600
that advice is not final.

649
00:42:41,380 --> 00:42:44,540
That final vote will rest before the board members.

650
00:42:45,820 --> 00:42:50,520
Anybody else electing? I had a question. Oh I think that sounds great. My question would

651
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:57,820
be, we haven't really discussed time. Like, so I'm the rabid one that could meet every

652
00:42:57,820 --> 00:43:02,100
hour of the day. We need to say my name's Ray. What I'm going to do, is one week, every other

653
00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:06,220
week, you know, what would you do? I've got to go to a rescue, a Pascar Reson Bank, when

654
00:43:06,220 --> 00:43:11,580
we get done, the doctor, or excuse me, Mr. Carter, as well as the stay, and if we need

655
00:43:11,580 --> 00:43:19,120
to report next time, or what he might say is, I said, I felt like I told him that how

656
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:25,960
some of these committees or board groups, work groups have worked in the past, I'd like

657
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,940
to know what worked good, but I also know, I'd like to know, is there any, what worked?

658
00:43:30,660 --> 00:43:31,140
Incorrectly.

659
00:43:31,420 --> 00:43:32,720
It was a problem.

660
00:43:33,140 --> 00:43:33,280
Okay.

661
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,580
Are you going to pull it out of the house if you're going to see what they are going to do?

662
00:43:39,020 --> 00:43:40,100
It isn't available.

663
00:43:40,660 --> 00:43:41,260
Board members.

664
00:43:41,460 --> 00:43:42,480
It's my kind of sign.

665
00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:43,280
I think so.

666
00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:47,450
Well, I've got it right.

667
00:43:47,610 --> 00:43:48,350
I've got it here.

668
00:43:48,650 --> 00:43:50,110
We're asking if she can get it.

669
00:43:50,370 --> 00:43:51,490
I'm just going to pull it out.

670
00:43:56,060 --> 00:43:57,440
I just thought that might be nice.

671
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,240
Yeah, you got it.

672
00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,400
Nice suggestion.

673
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:01,740
All right.

674
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:02,180
All right.

675
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:06,820
Now, if there's no further discussion, we have a motion to accept it.

676
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:07,840
Any other discussion?

677
00:44:08,460 --> 00:44:15,440
If not, for the board of the workgroups to presentably respond by raising your hand, and you're

678
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:15,660
opposed.

679
00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:16,640
Thank you.

680
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:19,180
And thank you for putting up my reading there.

681
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:28,800
Unfinished business, building and grounds, workgroup, also known as the Past of Maintenance

682
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,060
Committee.

683
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,780
Met Friday, Dr. Leigh.

684
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:33,260
That's right.

685
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,280
I'm going to get with it.

686
00:44:35,060 --> 00:44:46,020
Dr. Lynn and Mrs. Lawson and herself met with Mr. Carver, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Rodley and

687
00:44:46,020 --> 00:44:53,200
also Coach Olive, half leg director. And some of the ports coming out of that, O'Wale G,

688
00:44:53,420 --> 00:44:59,920
our engineering firm, it's working with us to coordinate the drainage problems and also

689
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,440
Press water problems, it'll be a layer. They've already got some prices in, and they're not completely firm yet, but the prices look good. And it's going to be, hopefully, it looks positive that the price is going to be cheaper than what we expected to be. Next meeting, we hope we have a little bit of firm prices in a little bit more report. When that was start, hopefully that would start during the summer break. Remember that it's not just drainage problems.

690
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,240
It's also we had problems with the fresh water coming into the building.

691
00:45:34,580 --> 00:45:37,020
Those pipes leaking and it's, you know, make it.

692
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,880
Did that rain in a couple of weeks ago?

693
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:47,140
I'm sure the subpunk in the busy, but we haven't had or had heard anything that was worse than normal.

694
00:45:53,550 --> 00:46:03,510
Yeah, and it's looking at the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the.

695
00:46:04,330 --> 00:46:10,310
We are having Clifton review the documents to include

696
00:46:10,310 --> 00:46:15,750
the retaining and I guess what's the other one?

697
00:46:15,970 --> 00:46:16,210
Retaining.

698
00:46:16,810 --> 00:46:19,050
It's a performance bond with the projects.

699
00:46:19,290 --> 00:46:21,730
We want that written in before we let any of this.

700
00:46:24,670 --> 00:46:30,650
Coach Oliver is getting prices on doing some work to the bleachers

701
00:46:30,650 --> 00:46:36,070
and the GM are going to be a whole lot of discussion if you'd like to know what he's

702
00:46:36,070 --> 00:46:36,850
talking about.

703
00:46:37,030 --> 00:46:42,550
He's trying to gain some space and also address some sound system problems.

704
00:46:43,890 --> 00:46:49,170
He's going to also get prices on pressure washing, the stadium, it's doom and normal cycle

705
00:46:49,170 --> 00:46:49,550
now.

706
00:46:52,790 --> 00:47:05,330
And we're excited, I think, is the committee will reckon the administration reach out to the Department of Education who will give us an assessment of each of our facilities.

707
00:47:06,590 --> 00:47:11,270
And that's kind of conjunction with some of the report that Mr. Carp will make later on.

708
00:47:11,830 --> 00:47:12,690
Are there any questions?

709
00:47:12,690 --> 00:47:12,870
questions.

710
00:47:13,210 --> 00:47:14,510
Dr. Williams, that pretty well.

711
00:47:15,290 --> 00:47:16,670
So you might have another question.

712
00:47:18,130 --> 00:47:18,810
Yes, sir.

713
00:47:18,810 --> 00:47:21,210
But we're reasonably confident that that's going to happen this summer.

714
00:47:21,590 --> 00:47:24,170
The project that we'll get to that time.

715
00:47:24,330 --> 00:47:25,470
I feel real good about that.

716
00:47:26,030 --> 00:47:26,510
Mr.

717
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,840
Garber, 19, 20 budget.

718
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:36,280
I've never seen your staff today and we were working on the 19, 20 budget.

719
00:47:37,140 --> 00:47:43,660
We have made some assumptions as we are budgeting that the operational costs will stay pretty

720
00:47:43,660 --> 00:47:49,380
much flat for the upcoming year. We are excited to sit down with a budget finance

721
00:47:49,380 --> 00:47:56,580
committee which would be I guess Kim and Kat and go through with you all what

722
00:47:56,580 --> 00:48:03,660
our projected revenues will be and have some discussion about what our projected

723
00:48:03,660 --> 00:48:11,420
expenditures will be for the upcoming year. As you are all where we did have an

724
00:48:11,420 --> 00:48:17,940
increase in FTEs which will impact our budget for the upcoming year. Historically just to

725
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:27,360
remind the board that the salary schedule is a 1.5% increase on step. Historically or not

726
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:35,060
historically, but more times than not there's been a 2% increase. So if you are someone that

727
00:48:35,060 --> 00:48:39,940
will top of that. On top of that. So if you're someone within the scope of the salary schedule,

728
00:48:39,940 --> 00:48:45,720
And you would be looking at a 3.5% raise this year and the next year.

729
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:51,440
The other thing to keep in mind, too, is that those who are at the top end of the salary

730
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,360
schedule, there are no more steps.

731
00:48:53,960 --> 00:49:02,260
So unless there is the 2% raise, some of our veteran teachers would not be getting an increase

732
00:49:02,260 --> 00:49:03,800
in wages for the upcoming year.

733
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,160
So those are some things we want to look at.

734
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:14,680
And the other piece of it is to kind of dovetail on the building grounds piece is that prioritizing

735
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,480
the needs of the district with the physical plants and then starting to build a budget

736
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:26,140
to address those prioritizing needs and with tight funding, we can't do everything at once.

737
00:49:26,860 --> 00:49:29,920
So it's just going to be something that we need to, you know, as again, we're excited

738
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,080
to sit down with the budget and find this committee and kind of share the numbers as

739
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:33,680
what we've got.

740
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:39,960
The other thing too is, as we're looking to the future now this year but the year after

741
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:47,580
next, if we are wanting to scale up the model that we've seen in South Dakota, then we

742
00:49:47,580 --> 00:49:53,500
need to start planning now for financial allocations to wreak, and again it's been my recommendation

743
00:49:53,500 --> 00:49:58,780
that we do the reconfiguration at Fair Up because they don't have any walls and that would

744
00:49:58,780 --> 00:50:00,380
be the easiest place to do it.

745
00:50:00,380 --> 00:50:05,780
And again, a lot of what we would be doing would be contingent upon parent request.

746
00:50:07,620 --> 00:50:08,940
This is not one of those things.

747
00:50:09,500 --> 00:50:13,380
And we've seen it South Dakota where you just don't have to, you can, you can have a

748
00:50:13,380 --> 00:50:14,800
schedule or a schedule.

749
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:20,380
You can have a gradual increase of services based on the parents who signed up for it.

750
00:50:20,540 --> 00:50:21,940
Did they present it to their board?

751
00:50:22,100 --> 00:50:24,920
And I know, I know what you're talking about, the rate of duration, I'm not going to say

752
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:25,220
that's that.

753
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,460
Did they present it to their board that would not be an additional expenditure?

754
00:50:28,620 --> 00:50:29,280
That's not what you said.

755
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:36,720
But as far as now, the word to that came from the superintendents that it would not be

756
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:40,380
an increase in staff costs, right?

757
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,660
But the government is they are growing, so they are building buildings.

758
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,060
I want to say they're putting an elementary up every other year.

759
00:50:48,700 --> 00:50:55,120
So the design of this concept was already in place, but the buildings are putting up.

760
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,660
So they're building a building anyway.

761
00:50:57,660 --> 00:51:05,540
So they just, they designed it such, and then the staffing, they had already projected

762
00:51:05,540 --> 00:51:06,500
for that anyway.

763
00:51:06,780 --> 00:51:09,160
So there was not an increase cost.

764
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:14,200
For us, it's going to be a little bit different in that we're not having the growth that they

765
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:14,500
have.

766
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:22,220
And so, again, if this is something we're going to want to do, then we need to start financially

767
00:51:22,220 --> 00:51:23,360
preparing for it now.

768
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,220
because like is the platform I guess I'm trying to figure out is that would be

769
00:51:26,220 --> 00:51:30,080
online in like a budgetary like when you propose it right as far as because I

770
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,660
was wondering like are there other components that are going to be

771
00:51:32,660 --> 00:51:36,640
expenditures that I didn't like maybe I won't even realize the the the the

772
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:42,440
operating that they've gotten in place it's not cost any extra okay they they

773
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:47,360
have had digital devices they have their curriculum they have a software package

774
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:52,800
that enables them to do real time feedback for kids and all that that has not

775
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,560
not been an increased cost.

776
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,580
It's just a cost of doing business.

777
00:51:57,500 --> 00:52:01,240
We're, we're, they have an advantage in that they're able to put up a physical plan.

778
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:06,940
And in our world, we're going to have to make to make our physical plans to meet those, okay?

779
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:07,640
Okay?

780
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:20,900
But yes, and then somebody to keep in mind from Board 2 is that I think it's important to note that our funding that we are funding source is the city.

781
00:52:20,900 --> 00:52:27,200
We appreciate you being here tonight and your support of the schools and turning our message back. Thank you

782
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:33,100
But the BEP funding the funding from the from the state does not come until later in the fall

783
00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:38,240
And that even though we work out our plan and get things figured out at this point

784
00:52:38,820 --> 00:52:40,980
the wild card all this is the

785
00:52:41,720 --> 00:52:43,920
Jerry first insurance adjustments

786
00:52:44,660 --> 00:52:45,020
And

787
00:52:45,700 --> 00:52:49,460
Right now it's a picking a poke as to what that might be

788
00:52:49,460 --> 00:52:58,820
So that's another thing that we will, we will, again, educate the building, the budget finance committee, we'll put together a budget.

789
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:12,680
We will present what we projected to be at the City Council meeting, but everybody needs to know that we also need to have so many reserves for increased insurance costs that come in June.

790
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,940
And when's the top? Can you give us a little time frame? Because I don't know that it was

791
00:53:17,100 --> 00:53:23,400
It's easy to fall last year. So when would be the ideal time that we're gonna prove like a bit like what's the time frame for that?

792
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,160
Well, it's it's my understanding

793
00:53:26,980 --> 00:53:31,160
My king and I have to help me out here a little bit on this is that we would be

794
00:53:31,700 --> 00:53:38,500
Putting the budget together and that what we projected to be and that it would be shared with the city

795
00:53:38,500 --> 00:53:40,700
Which would I think our first meeting with the people

796
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:51,720
We had a conflict with their meeting that night and the mayor's told me to stop worrying that he would get something worked out.

797
00:53:53,280 --> 00:54:01,560
Okay, so we would have an anticipator or a draft budget for that meeting for the City Council.

798
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:08,240
But again, Jessica, till we have a better idea of where our state staff is going to be.

799
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:15,140
When does that usually, when do we ever get that like the big deal like when you find out that it's kind of like a

800
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:21,720
Yeah, we've had to we've had several years we've had to wait on that figure and the counties

801
00:54:25,260 --> 00:54:26,680
City while the city

802
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:30,280
Right

803
00:54:32,700 --> 00:54:36,640
So the other firm on revenue side until June, right?

804
00:54:37,100 --> 00:54:38,580
Do we have a date for our meeting?

805
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,200
We've not set one.

806
00:54:43,540 --> 00:54:50,360
No, that's one of the clauses in there that the administration will provide the

807
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:57,840
and the scheduling is long anticipated, something from you fair at the center, and it is awesome.

808
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,360
It's all contingent upon your schedule.

809
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:04,800
Yes.

810
00:55:05,620 --> 00:55:07,280
So we will work something.

811
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:16,120
Yeah, so I guess the point being is that financially we do have some of our fund balance.

812
00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:23,340
but it's, you know, I'm a banker's son and you don't use your savings account to make your mortgage payment.

813
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,520
And so, in the event two that we have-

814
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:31,760
That has not been Mr. Robbins' position or the board's position.

815
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:32,880
Perfect. Perfect.

816
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,300
So, we have a state that has a savings account for one time years.

817
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,260
One time years, that's, we're all in line as far as that kind of.

818
00:55:39,260 --> 00:55:41,300
I don't want to have any direction with Dr. Lane right now.

819
00:55:44,420 --> 00:55:49,540
But all that being said, too, there could be possibly some projects we would look at in

820
00:55:49,540 --> 00:55:55,080
the fall, which, you know, just like when we were at the Collierville, you know, they

821
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:59,420
ended up having to do some kind of a rough random so that they could make those additions

822
00:55:59,420 --> 00:56:00,180
to the high school.

823
00:56:00,780 --> 00:56:03,460
And I guess that would be the other thing that I would raise up.

824
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:09,500
I'll speak to it again here a little bit, but you know, our high school has been meticulously

825
00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:11,960
we kept up, but it is a 65-year-old bill.

826
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,360
And so just as we're looking to do some work at Farrah,

827
00:56:15,860 --> 00:56:18,220
we're also going to be looking to do some work at that.

828
00:56:19,380 --> 00:56:23,180
But more to come, and Kim and Pat, we'll get a time

829
00:56:23,180 --> 00:56:24,720
to scale the role and impact.

830
00:56:25,060 --> 00:56:25,420
Great.

831
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:26,100
Thank you.

832
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,860
Board policy recommendations, I believe we're

833
00:56:29,860 --> 00:56:33,480
looking at 1.803, which is tobacco-free schools.

834
00:56:33,820 --> 00:56:37,960
Policy 4.209, alternative credit options.

835
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:45,700
and policy 4.603, promotion and retention, and those are all covered in the state session.

836
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:46,460
Is that correct?

837
00:56:46,660 --> 00:56:47,160
That's correct.

838
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:48,360
And that's very minor.

839
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:49,480
There's very minor.

840
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:50,960
But in time.

841
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:59,560
And that was CSBA recommended and also accepted by Mr. Bishop, Mr. Miller, approval policy.

842
00:57:00,820 --> 00:57:01,940
Any discussion?

843
00:57:02,860 --> 00:57:09,860
Now I'll ask him a motion to approve those four policy recommendations.

844
00:57:10,940 --> 00:57:12,000
We have a motion.

845
00:57:13,300 --> 00:57:13,700
Some may.

846
00:57:14,620 --> 00:57:17,440
Us as soon as quick on the stick there, Dr. Williams, you've said.

847
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,060
Any further discussion?

848
00:57:20,860 --> 00:57:22,820
If not, if you're more of the recommendations, please.

849
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,420
I'm not raising your hand.

850
00:57:25,580 --> 00:57:26,100
Any opposed?

851
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:27,820
Thank you.

852
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:31,480
Trustee's for non-certified retirement.

853
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:32,300
Should

854
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:38,980
I read this?

855
00:57:40,620 --> 00:57:44,200
Non-certified retirement program requires appointment of trustees for the plan.

856
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,960
Three trustees are to be named by resolution of the board.

857
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,860
The administration of both the trustees will be the chairman of the board, the superintendent,

858
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:52,660
and the director of personnel.

859
00:57:53,180 --> 00:57:57,300
As the reorganization of the board takes place in September meeting, the trustees proposed

860
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:02,040
would be the newly elected chairman of the board, the superintendent and director of personnel.

861
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:09,180
very straightforward and necessary that we know that's a structure we're

862
00:58:09,180 --> 00:58:15,440
ready. Is there a motion to accept that non-certified retirement committee?

863
00:58:15,940 --> 00:58:21,120
This property has a motion who has a second and there's Johnson in the second

864
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:25,920
for the discussion. Now I'd prefer the motion police respond with raising a hand

865
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,820
in your public, working good.

866
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:31,020
Civil rights coordinator.

867
00:58:40,140 --> 00:58:40,920
There you go.

868
00:58:41,180 --> 00:58:43,680
The director of personnel is appointing

869
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,100
to serve the Civil Rights Coordinator.

870
00:58:45,900 --> 00:58:47,640
The coordinator of Civil Rights is appointed by the board

871
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,640
and served as a liaison for parent students,

872
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,160
employees, and school system.

873
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,860
The coordinator will serve Title 6 of 1964, Title 9,

874
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:59,440
and Section 5 of 4 of the federal non-iscrimination statutes.

875
00:58:59,860 --> 00:59:01,760
This week's system determination to tell

876
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:07,280
I want to see schools do not discriminate, it's individual on basis of sex, race, national

877
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:12,600
origin, creed, age, marital status or disability and it's educational programs, activities

878
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:13,240
and support.

879
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,220
Do we have a motion to accept that and need it?

880
00:59:18,500 --> 00:59:18,880
Seven.

881
00:59:19,820 --> 00:59:26,840
There's Johnson, but this motion, okay, I have to leave them a sec.

882
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:28,260
Any further discussion?

883
00:59:28,660 --> 00:59:28,840
Yes.

884
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:30,280
I have a further discussion.

885
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:37,740
When you talk about the basis, I think that the word gender should be used instead of the word sex.

886
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:39,980
That's what I recommend.

887
00:59:43,210 --> 00:59:43,570
Okay.

888
00:59:44,370 --> 00:59:47,530
Now do we have to have a minute to the motion?

889
00:59:48,130 --> 00:59:49,650
I think we can make it as an editorial.

890
00:59:59,270 --> 00:59:59,750
Okay.

891
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,620
Discussion? No, I have to move through the motion. Please respond to any. Raise your hand. I'm going backwards. Any opposed?

892
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:17,200
Mr. Carlin, that has you. Okay, hold on. Consider it before the end. No, she didn't call.

893
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:28,720
Before I call from the city floor, there's us. I do want to lift up Dr. Zimmerman and Susan Fanny.

894
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:35,600
We had folks from the Tennessee Department of Education that were on site for three days

895
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:39,320
and looking at our practices.

896
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,000
It was a very good experience.

897
01:00:42,380 --> 01:00:44,280
We learned a lot from that.

898
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:53,620
Specifically, total high school, Bill Er, and East Lincoln were the sample size.

899
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:57,060
They were the ones that got to do the deep dive.

900
01:00:57,060 --> 01:01:01,540
Susan, you want to just share with them the reports that you've been on there for a minute or so.

901
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:11,600
Absolutely. Each of you should have a multi-party report that we received from the SNA and the IPA state monitoring for the last week.

902
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,840
On here, on the first thing you're talking about, there were the items.

903
01:01:17,420 --> 01:01:20,000
Those were items that we received the price for.

904
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:24,540
one of those included our board of education and how they thought it was never

905
01:01:24,540 --> 01:01:29,320
easy for each of you to take our adopted to a particular school and

906
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:35,360
involve at a school level and such a great level of involvement and how that's

907
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,920
something they'd like to share that with the rest of the state.

908
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,200
I think they showed you three of your schools.

909
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:45,800
They said that they would not see it in the state, so they wanted to share that.

910
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:52,500
Along with that, they really like how our marketing department at the high school helps

911
01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:59,440
prevent other activities within our district and how we have a lot of process and how we

912
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,100
try to bring in our press groups to support other programs.

913
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:10,340
Parents' summons, that's another area of their worthiness, where we offer a secure

914
01:02:10,340 --> 01:02:15,200
We've got two set of bars and the third one will be in April, and this is second

915
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,560
of us organized our special education department.

916
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,900
So those were the number of the items that they mentioned.

917
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:22,840
Below that are recommendations.

918
01:02:23,380 --> 01:02:28,000
These are not requirements with things they suggested that might help improve our

919
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:33,000
programming and standardize the self-assessment process that we use for ESL,

920
01:02:33,220 --> 01:02:37,520
ESL is English and the second language to standardize that process.

921
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:42,020
and to make sure we all understand the reclassification

922
01:02:42,020 --> 01:02:44,980
of an ESL student if they've been misclassified.

923
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,080
So what that process looks like.

924
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,120
On the next page, there are items that you do have to address.

925
01:02:52,900 --> 01:02:56,000
One of the first to mention is making sure

926
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,080
that we have a home language survey for every student.

927
01:02:59,860 --> 01:03:01,780
A home language survey is given

928
01:03:01,780 --> 01:03:04,140
with a student in nurse's telemedicine school

929
01:03:04,140 --> 01:03:09,680
in an area that indicates is language, the first language of the child is that the language

930
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:16,240
that can hit home is that it's not the language, the first language of the child that's

931
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:21,120
not the language of the child's face at home, that our ESL teacher is scoring those students

932
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:26,320
for ESL services, and we just have to make sure we have a copy of the file of the original

933
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:31,780
home language survey, the first one that is ever given to the parents to complete.

934
01:03:31,780 --> 01:03:36,260
So the name of them not coming in Susan, then is that a thing? Is that a thing of them not getting

935
01:03:36,260 --> 01:03:43,340
retarded? And what they did is they pulled a sample of the cumulative records to look and in some

936
01:03:43,340 --> 01:03:48,840
records maybe we had more than one. Because it might have been sent home every year. That's what.

937
01:03:49,180 --> 01:03:55,300
And or a child came to us and when we got their transfer records, one was in their previous records,

938
01:03:55,300 --> 01:04:02,340
some of it is just cleaning out on that and making sure in some schools they

939
01:04:02,340 --> 01:04:07,320
might not have been put into the cumulative bankruptcy yet. It's that we just

940
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:12,500
have to account for that and receive some clarification on what all we needed

941
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:15,960
to do in this forms. And that leads into the second one was just the

942
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:20,620
occupational survey forms. These have well been every year. This is to identify our

943
01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:36,380
I mean, what year did we start doing the Occupational Service?

944
01:04:37,460 --> 01:04:38,420
I'm out of the zoo, you know.

945
01:04:39,260 --> 01:04:40,520
I'm not sure if you're starting.

946
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:42,920
I know it's been many years.

947
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:47,440
That's been 2012.

948
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,700
Well, this is the last thing I can do, I just want to hold it for.

949
01:04:50,900 --> 01:04:55,420
And normally, the home language survey just says the occupational survey, typically

950
01:04:55,420 --> 01:05:00,100
down out in the registration package, if it is any of the year, and we look at the

951
01:05:00,100 --> 01:05:00,160
survey.

952
01:05:00,300 --> 01:05:04,580
They're just wanting us to have an emailing process where I think we sure we have one for

953
01:05:04,580 --> 01:05:08,800
it for the student, and then making sure we have that in the white population for the student.

954
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:16,660
The third one is ensuring our ESL students, we save their required services every day if

955
01:05:16,660 --> 01:05:21,020
The students scores a 3.4 or below on their lead test,

956
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,120
which is their English and second-order test.

957
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,300
They're required to receive an hour of ESL services

958
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,420
every day, that includes Wednesdays.

959
01:05:32,140 --> 01:05:37,120
And we did learn that this did not have to be outside

960
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:39,000
of their core time.

961
01:05:39,180 --> 01:05:41,460
This could be in a loop of their core time.

962
01:05:41,980 --> 01:05:44,460
And the rationale for that is that they don't have access

963
01:05:44,460 --> 01:05:47,900
to the English language, maybe access, maybe the skills

964
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,000
or maybe the instruction from learning English,

965
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,780
more so than they are going to,

966
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,280
more than that, but then we get from a core class.

967
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,140
It's going to be an access point which first.

968
01:05:58,980 --> 01:06:02,420
So we are, we are looking at our schedules

969
01:06:02,420 --> 01:06:05,040
and currently working on all of these things

970
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,600
that we will highlight for us.

971
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:10,780
On the next page, we're guiding our RTI plan.

972
01:06:10,780 --> 01:06:26,360
We're required to finish more with an expression and provide interventions for written expression, just like we do for reading and for math, so we reached out to the state for supporting research resources to help us with that.

973
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:31,540
and then they didn't revise the RTI funding plan did they?

974
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,720
It was just a programming piece, but they did.

975
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:43,000
Below that is the development of pretty good five year strategic plan.

976
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:50,420
On the following page, documentation of our title and meetings.

977
01:06:50,660 --> 01:06:52,140
We have three title and tools.

978
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:05,380
to have certain pieces of documentation that make sure that we have the right pieces

979
01:07:05,380 --> 01:07:09,160
of documentation for every meeting with something they have highlighted.

980
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:17,480
The school improvement plan review each year, the LEA plan is written which supports the district plan,

981
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:23,320
that the district's strategic plan and then every school aligns their school

982
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:28,360
plan, the LEA plan and district plan. And one of the things I know this is we

983
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:32,520
need a more documentation of the meetings we have when we're developing the

984
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:36,520
school improvement plan as we adjust that throughout the year because it's a

985
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:41,660
fluid document. It's supposed to be a working document. On the next page,

986
01:07:44,130 --> 01:07:44,910
say

987
01:07:44,910 --> 01:07:51,290
highlighted that we need to provide more training on procedures and policies for foster care

988
01:07:51,290 --> 01:07:59,150
for English, ESL students and the homeless making sure that everybody in our school level is

989
01:07:59,150 --> 01:08:06,450
aware of all the policies and procedures for that. If you notice to the right of each piece that's

990
01:08:06,450 --> 01:08:12,270
been listed there's a timeline. Some of those timelines are really thin and some of those timelines

991
01:08:12,270 --> 01:08:14,890
are extended to give us time to do that.

992
01:08:15,630 --> 01:08:19,610
We use, on the next page, this was a special education

993
01:08:20,230 --> 01:08:20,770
monitoring.

994
01:08:21,970 --> 01:08:25,450
And on that piece, they did full special education

995
01:08:25,450 --> 01:08:29,390
files that called INPs and worked for all of the different things

996
01:08:29,390 --> 01:08:31,830
that are supposed to be in those files,

997
01:08:31,830 --> 01:08:33,890
which is a lot of information.

998
01:08:34,790 --> 01:08:34,930
Yeah.

999
01:08:35,430 --> 01:08:37,290
And I'm an interject here.

1000
01:08:37,450 --> 01:08:40,970
I do want to apologize to our special editor,

1001
01:08:43,490 --> 01:08:50,390
I got to go through this review process, you're sitting back there, I didn't see it, I don't know.

1002
01:08:51,370 --> 01:08:57,310
And I guess one of the things, special education is a high priority thing for us.

1003
01:08:57,590 --> 01:09:00,810
And then we want to make sure we're doing our due diligence and prioritizing.

1004
01:09:02,350 --> 01:09:08,110
And Tammy, I don't know if you want to speak to those things from the special exit survey or not.

1005
01:09:08,110 --> 01:09:10,110
I mean, it can't seem it comes to mind.

1006
01:09:11,190 --> 01:09:15,390
President, I think the problem is that it's where we have

1007
01:09:15,390 --> 01:09:16,590
the rate that we're not complying.

1008
01:09:17,030 --> 01:09:19,590
That didn't really surprise us because the problem is

1009
01:09:19,590 --> 01:09:22,070
that it's a difficult thing for everyone to understand

1010
01:09:22,070 --> 01:09:24,510
because the word problem has been priority in this case.

1011
01:09:24,670 --> 01:09:27,310
You actually got that that is after the meeting.

1012
01:09:27,870 --> 01:09:29,130
So we worked on that all the time.

1013
01:09:29,310 --> 01:09:30,890
I think that we were a little bit surprised about

1014
01:09:30,890 --> 01:09:32,910
so we got six things, not late.

1015
01:09:33,350 --> 01:09:34,950
We're not having the appropriate signatures.

1016
01:09:35,310 --> 01:09:37,370
And that's something that we, I think

1017
01:09:37,370 --> 01:09:40,150
We think case law draws a lot of what we did.

1018
01:09:40,350 --> 01:09:42,370
So there probably has been some time with case law

1019
01:09:42,370 --> 01:09:45,050
that has now caused this to be a public point

1020
01:09:45,050 --> 01:09:46,190
of their release.

1021
01:09:46,890 --> 01:09:48,230
So now we know we need to do that.

1022
01:09:48,310 --> 01:09:50,570
But we did not realize that in the IMP meeting,

1023
01:09:50,750 --> 01:09:54,330
if you just provide data from the IMSWP,

1024
01:09:54,590 --> 01:09:55,690
from the SNRT or whatever,

1025
01:09:56,010 --> 01:09:57,870
you should have someone to sign on that law

1026
01:09:57,870 --> 01:09:58,850
that they determined it,

1027
01:09:59,030 --> 01:10:00,250
and we just didn't realize that.

1028
01:10:00,530 --> 01:10:02,570
So overall, I was pleased with it.

1029
01:10:02,970 --> 01:10:05,950
So it was a lot of the formal like cross this team,

1030
01:10:05,950 --> 01:10:08,210
I mean, like, jump to this and go back to that.

1031
01:10:08,330 --> 01:10:12,210
Because I change a lot of, it's always happening, I would think, right?

1032
01:10:13,530 --> 01:10:18,390
For this size district, with the number of folks that we've got at IEPs,

1033
01:10:18,790 --> 01:10:25,870
I was very pleased with the work that Tammy and Kim Ackons and their team put together

1034
01:10:25,870 --> 01:10:26,250
and stuff.

1035
01:10:26,550 --> 01:10:31,290
Again, the only thing that we really, just a few surprises, of course, the strategic plan

1036
01:10:31,290 --> 01:10:32,270
we were new about.

1037
01:10:34,650 --> 01:10:40,750
And I think overall, as far as that piece, because I think it was, you know, they're not

1038
01:10:40,750 --> 01:10:42,330
here to beat us up.

1039
01:10:42,330 --> 01:10:45,830
They're basically here to hold up a mirror so that we can look at the mirror and see

1040
01:10:45,830 --> 01:10:47,450
if there's things that we need to address.

1041
01:10:49,290 --> 01:10:57,310
And now I'd like to say, too, that they were so complimentary of our schools, of our personnel,

1042
01:10:57,310 --> 01:11:02,890
Now, especially the principals, the buildings that they went in, they were so complimentary

1043
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:08,370
of our principals that they knew all the students' names, so thank you all.

1044
01:11:08,790 --> 01:11:13,670
And they said it was very evident that our employees, the children first, and to me, that

1045
01:11:13,670 --> 01:11:18,790
is all this other stuff, it's very exciting, that it was very obvious to them.

1046
01:11:19,110 --> 01:11:21,250
And it was in every school that they went in.

1047
01:11:21,530 --> 01:11:23,730
So I mean, in total, they know.

1048
01:11:23,730 --> 01:11:25,470
I can have a question too.

1049
01:11:26,050 --> 01:11:30,150
Do we have a number of homeless students?

1050
01:11:30,710 --> 01:11:31,270
We do.

1051
01:11:31,730 --> 01:11:32,810
We do have the number.

1052
01:11:32,870 --> 01:11:33,410
What is the number?

1053
01:11:33,890 --> 01:11:36,810
We have identified a number of homeless students right now.

1054
01:11:36,990 --> 01:11:39,330
And it's a fluid number.

1055
01:11:39,670 --> 01:11:41,790
I think we have about 18 right now.

1056
01:11:42,230 --> 01:11:42,390
18.

1057
01:11:42,870 --> 01:11:46,730
So that includes families that are currently living with another family?

1058
01:11:47,130 --> 01:11:47,950
Double the counseling.

1059
01:11:49,430 --> 01:11:53,710
And then what are some things that we can do?

1060
01:11:53,710 --> 01:11:55,510
do to try to address that number?

1061
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:04,780
I think that might be a conversation.

1062
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,700
That's going to take some time and some rain storming.

1063
01:12:08,220 --> 01:12:15,360
I know that I talked to the folks from the Lions Club.

1064
01:12:16,100 --> 01:12:17,580
I think it was Saturday night.

1065
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:19,900
They're looking at some support systems.

1066
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:22,700
I think it needs to be a community-wide initiative.

1067
01:12:24,060 --> 01:12:27,360
And I know one of the churches

1068
01:12:27,780 --> 01:12:32,360
I'm familiar with is also looking at, you know, what can we do to support and help these folks?

1069
01:12:33,480 --> 01:12:39,900
And of course, here at the schools, we're always going to reach out and help those folks.

1070
01:12:40,140 --> 01:12:43,640
But that's probably going to be a bigger conversation that we're going to do.

1071
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,780
Well, when you move back and talk to the city.

1072
01:12:47,180 --> 01:12:47,320
Absolutely.

1073
01:12:47,580 --> 01:12:51,720
I mean, that's not where the city is involved with a lot of the churches and a lot of the organizations, for sure.

1074
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:56,720
It's a matter of a lot of those people need to come and reach out to people.

1075
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:59,860
and that in specific reasons.

1076
01:13:00,020 --> 01:13:01,060
There are no personal reasons.

1077
01:13:01,380 --> 01:13:01,800
Yep, right.

1078
01:13:01,980 --> 01:13:04,040
I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is

1079
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,180
and I do have a building that could be transformed

1080
01:13:07,780 --> 01:13:09,340
to help some of the homeless families.

1081
01:13:09,340 --> 01:13:11,660
I'm willing to utilize that.

1082
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,760
Along with the general ed, the title of one of the buildings,

1083
01:13:19,340 --> 01:13:21,800
the special ed, we also have no CR,

1084
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,340
which is an office of civil rights visitation.

1085
01:13:24,700 --> 01:13:26,300
Anything you'd want to add from that?

1086
01:13:26,300 --> 01:13:27,220
that's Dr. Zimmer Murray.

1087
01:13:27,820 --> 01:13:30,680
It was a CTE director.

1088
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:35,120
So I have a surprising mail in the call that said CTE

1089
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,120
was one of the realist penalty officers

1090
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:38,040
to arise reviews.

1091
01:13:38,340 --> 01:13:40,480
So I gave a couple of months to give them

1092
01:13:40,480 --> 01:13:43,480
about 30 pages of paperwork on the facility as programs.

1093
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,980
And they came in last week and did one day

1094
01:13:46,980 --> 01:13:49,540
and walked in building very carefully,

1095
01:13:50,380 --> 01:13:51,900
too very nice.

1096
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:53,360
I've been from the State Park.

1097
01:13:54,160 --> 01:14:01,080
One day, they did interviews with parents, students, teachers, admin, and then they did surveys

1098
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:02,320
all those groups.

1099
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,460
First, they came in the afternoon and they asked our feedback.

1100
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:10,540
Really the only, there were no administrative issues that they found that what they were waiting

1101
01:14:10,540 --> 01:14:13,700
for are barriers for students to participate in CT.

1102
01:14:14,580 --> 01:14:16,780
So they did, they're looking at the whole building.

1103
01:14:16,780 --> 01:14:22,320
but in particular, how students have access to T2P programs.

1104
01:14:22,740 --> 01:14:27,640
And so they gave us a list, the stability list,

1105
01:14:27,780 --> 01:14:28,520
it has some lines.

1106
01:14:30,660 --> 01:14:32,840
Well, a few signages use, for example.

1107
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,540
We have great head-cap parking in the front

1108
01:14:36,540 --> 01:14:40,180
that there's no sign that says the sign says faculty parking.

1109
01:14:40,900 --> 01:14:43,440
Instead of head-cap parking, we'll go this way.

1110
01:14:43,440 --> 01:14:49,060
We have banned parking, but there's no little signs that says banned parking, which is the same type of parking.

1111
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:59,300
We have big test hilarious, such as the marketing room and the visiting area in the annex.

1112
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:18,660
The last room, the soundproof is various restrooms, that's kind of the things. Really for areas that students would access as part of their regular curriculum making could not access if you look in the wheelchair. So some of that also occurs. Some may be more lift.

1113
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:29,320
And then some of the things like, it's an old building. So we still have some of the old ground ward on us and some of the old ground on the faucet handles.

1114
01:15:31,700 --> 01:15:39,080
She had a door pressure at this school, the door pressure tool, so as she felt like the door was a little bit too heavy to push, but I'm not saying it was.

1115
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:47,220
Overall, there was nothing that was, I think, insurmountable.

1116
01:15:48,700 --> 01:15:49,320
I think...

1117
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,380
And you're very complimentary about such an old building.

1118
01:15:51,580 --> 01:15:51,620
Yeah.

1119
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,080
Well taken care of.

1120
01:15:53,440 --> 01:15:57,920
And again, that speaks to our custodial staff and building me that staff.

1121
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:02,780
Yeah, I think one of the things that he lifted up was going into the restaurant was the

1122
01:16:02,780 --> 01:16:05,940
all-smelling club, which was a big thing.

1123
01:16:07,300 --> 01:16:14,000
And the team that was here with the high school, for free, they were willing to come back

1124
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,500
and do an assessment of all the other building, which I think was.

1125
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:18,340
Which ties in with the board.

1126
01:16:18,620 --> 01:16:20,680
Yes, ties in with your community report and stuff.

1127
01:16:21,020 --> 01:16:23,740
So that will be something we'll get them on the schedule for the fall.

1128
01:16:24,540 --> 01:16:32,280
But again, I do want to lift up and acknowledge this afternoon and this

1129
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:37,380
intermittent expanding for the work they did and telling our story, telling our

1130
01:16:37,380 --> 01:16:41,520
story. And I think we've got a great group of those city board that is not

1131
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:42,640
important if there is.

1132
01:16:43,700 --> 01:16:49,160
Yes, just a few things, obviously we're getting ready for budget season as we go

1133
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:59,980
So I've already had our community service organizations that each one of them came and talked to us, so that we're studying at the schedule soon, we're trying to get with you as well to do that.

1134
01:17:01,740 --> 01:17:09,080
Recently, the honorary alderman was lily sharpened and so it was a really nice trip to have her with us.

1135
01:17:09,460 --> 01:17:12,400
A very, very bright and impressive young life, very, very.

1136
01:17:13,340 --> 01:17:20,300
We recognize the 2019 TWS double A state girl wrestling champions recently, so we have

1137
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:26,020
this a rent pool of them and parents, so it was, that was really an honor to be able

1138
01:17:26,020 --> 01:17:26,620
to do those.

1139
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:32,080
And as you see going down the Jackson Street and even over on Wilson Avenue in some of

1140
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,140
the other places, we've stood out, we've got a lot of businesses, a lot of things going

1141
01:17:35,140 --> 01:17:40,460
on, a lot of positive things going on, a new restaurant that will be taking over the

1142
01:17:40,460 --> 01:17:44,400
the province building in the next month to two months.

1143
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:45,740
So that's exciting.

1144
01:17:45,980 --> 01:17:48,320
It's actually an existing business.

1145
01:17:48,580 --> 01:17:50,720
It was decided to invest in our community.

1146
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:52,320
So it's a great thing.

1147
01:17:52,660 --> 01:17:54,400
So we appreciate that.

1148
01:17:54,860 --> 01:17:56,620
So thank you.

1149
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:57,040
Thank you.

1150
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:03,140
I mean, personnel adjustments have a one-hour

1151
01:18:03,140 --> 01:18:06,680
Teresa Rickles, who are custodian in high school, transfer

1152
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,140
at all, and still just transfer where she was.

1153
01:18:14,110 --> 01:18:14,650
Okay.

1154
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:25,880
Quick question from his neighborhood. Hand in, you get the OCR. Why didn't you

1155
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:26,740
have a hand in the state gate?

1156
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:34,460
Look at the love you received in the 58 students state, I mean the eight school state

1157
01:18:34,460 --> 01:18:37,920
life. And they had just not some answers for me alone.

1158
01:18:38,620 --> 01:18:45,000
Then you were really lucky, because you won in the 8th and then you won in all kinds of

1159
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,220
people I guess could have been questioned on the 8th.

1160
01:18:47,480 --> 01:18:49,460
They had a kind of a formula.

1161
01:18:50,260 --> 01:18:51,660
I could go to the racetrack with you.

1162
01:18:55,520 --> 01:19:02,540
So eventually all CTE programs will be investigated in this way or monitoring this way.

1163
01:19:03,740 --> 01:19:06,140
Is there a time frame like I know you in the past?

1164
01:19:06,140 --> 01:19:08,020
I said, like, you haven't had it done in 10 years.

1165
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:16,100
So yes, we have to put together a proposal for how we want to fix all of the issues by April 16th.

1166
01:19:16,100 --> 01:19:21,040
We don't have a fixed paper, but we have to present, and Tim Johnson is in all now all of that.

1167
01:19:21,060 --> 01:19:21,320
Oh, yeah.

1168
01:19:21,420 --> 01:19:22,320
So we'll come back.

1169
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:27,540
And how long, man, before we might have the same review as what I was wondering, like, you know,

1170
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,000
like I said, the state said, it's been 10 years since your last review.

1171
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:31,960
That's why you're having this.

1172
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:32,920
I was wondering how long.

1173
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,220
I think we're up there for five minutes.

1174
01:19:35,700 --> 01:19:35,800
Right.

1175
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:41,520
Unless somebody follows a complaint or something like that, then we should be good for five minutes.

1176
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:41,820
Okay.

1177
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:45,960
Anything else?

1178
01:19:46,620 --> 01:19:51,220
If anybody needs to, on the worker needs to visit with the car, please do so.

1179
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:53,780
And we are now adjourned.

1180
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:55,300
Thank you.
