Why we should undergar into business law with liberty and justice for all.

Okay.

21
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,420
Great.

22
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Let's see.

23
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,780
I do need a motion to approve the agenda for this evening.

24
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,860
I have a motion in a second.

25
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:21,930
I have a motion to pull out the minutes.

26
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:26,200
I have no second.

27
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:32,380
No, it does not need a second.

28
00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:33,200
You can pull it out.

29
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:33,420
Oh, yeah.

30
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:36,850
On agenda with

31
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:40,190
minutes.

32
00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:45,110
Minutes.

33
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:45,250
Minutes.

34
00:02:45,250 --> 00:02:46,070
The minutes.

35
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,200
Okay.

36
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:59,020
So I have a motion and a second to approve the agenda with the minutes pulled from the consent

37
00:02:59,020 --> 00:02:59,560
agenda.

38
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,540
All in favor say aye.

39
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:03,420
Opposed?

40
00:03:03,820 --> 00:03:04,560
There are none.

41
00:03:05,180 --> 00:03:05,540
All right.

42
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,380
Moving on.

43
00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:06,940
First.

44
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,220
Item under reports is Superintendent report?

45
00:03:12,220 --> 00:03:12,660
Yes.

46
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:14,420
as I shared a draft of this.

47
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:17,440
Oh, I did was add some pictures to the drafts.

48
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,400
I'll go walk through it.

49
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,680
Welcome to Mrs. Peggy, Robleski.

50
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,180
I did an introduce to the board right before the meeting.

51
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,600
She's a new board secretary, Executive Assistant

52
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,080
to the District Administrator.

53
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:30,700
Also, thanks to Ms. Moshow for her work

54
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:33,000
and her transition back to HR.

55
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,180
So she's still in the district, and still assisting us

56
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:39,060
so we're excited to have Peggy on board with us.

57
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,920
Thank you for the board.

58
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,040
of the community for the collective participation in the annual meeting, the annual meeting can be

59
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,260
kind of difficult because it's one meeting a year that it is a public meeting, but it is a

60
00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:55,380
little bit different in terms of what you're looking for. So there's some standard things that we

61
00:03:55,380 --> 00:03:59,620
need to do. So I do appreciate all the board members and community members that showed up.

62
00:04:00,620 --> 00:04:10,640
I did put in there again the state of the school district slide show, which highlights a lot of

63
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000
moving forward within our strategic plan.

64
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,080
Like to put some thank yous out there to Mrs. Katelyn Wimbler for the outstanding presentation

65
00:04:18,580 --> 00:04:23,180
at the budget hearing did a great job as she always does.

66
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:28,900
Also thank you to Leah Scott here for her persistence and perseverance, not only with

67
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:37,640
two consecutive years of 95 percent of our teachers actually retention but also initiating

68
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,000
that process and addressing and starting to address our compression issues.

69
00:04:42,260 --> 00:04:43,860
We have some more work to do with that.

70
00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:49,680
Thanks to Dan Halverson for all of his work with school safety with our students and our staff

71
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,840
also bringing in the U.S. Secrets Service.

72
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:57,340
So we're probably the only school district in at least Wachshaw County, maybe even many

73
00:04:57,340 --> 00:05:01,440
work counties, that are bringing in the Secrets Service this October to work with our staff.

74
00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:07,480
And as recently today, those that are parents who receive to push out about setting

75
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,420
up yourselves for text notifications, which will help streamline those communications like

76
00:05:12,420 --> 00:05:14,260
snow calls and that sort of thing.

77
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,560
So thanks to Dan for that.

78
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,980
Thanks to Alex Just for all of his work with special education, really done a great job

79
00:05:19,980 --> 00:05:24,640
of seeing connected and engaged with our staff, but also as well with Ms. Rebo, one of the

80
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,820
slides that I presented, several of the slides that I presented, we looked at reading

81
00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:35,500
and math over the last couple of years, versus three years ago, last year and this year,

82
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:41,260
There's been study improvement. Are we there yet? No. But I do think Miss Rebel and her team for

83
00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:46,300
constantly working on that continuous upward progress in those critical areas.

84
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,520
A few things, there is one sheet that's in there, pictures. I did add a couple of pictures at the

85
00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:00,900
bottom since the weekend for you about that Riverside Sea and Reck Construction Project. I do put

86
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:06,760
note there that I'm referencing Riverside in a context of construction for the last time because

87
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:14,200
their portion is now complete, including the gym, which was lost during the flood, has been

88
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:22,060
now rebuilt and being used by the students. So that was a huge undertaking by the same crew that's

89
00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:30,880
going to be building the community gym, which you can see by the pictures is already up walls and

90
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:37,080
the community gym and the pictures at the bottom with the green that's this morning. So I think

91
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:43,680
those pictures the one on top is last week. So that's a week worth a progress and I think you can

92
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:50,540
see that they're starting to complete the wrap. They'll be pouring the cement floor within a few weeks

93
00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:57,400
for the gym takes a little time for that to cure than the wood floor goes in. So our targets and

94
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:03,980
deadlines. The middle of October is an important timeline to have things closed up so we can start

95
00:07:04,980 --> 00:07:11,380
finalizing the parking lot and then the whole project, you know, by latest sometime in January,

96
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:16,900
but it might be a little bit earlier than that. Quite a bit of work they're doing in there right now,

97
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,800
but they're starting to get toward the last phase of the project. So that's a pretty good depiction.

98
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:29,980
I stayed out of their zone, they're still doing a few lifts this morning and just want to stay out of their way as they finished the last of them.

99
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:48,840
Have you worked? Because most things are up in operational. So we're excited about both those projects, your oversight is up in operational, including the new library, the rebuilt music room, three different classrooms, are in an expanded riverside plus secure doors.

100
00:07:49,180 --> 00:07:57,100
That's something that Mr. Walters been working on with Mr. Halverson and a lot of outside groups to make sure that those things are tied down along with others.

101
00:07:57,100 --> 00:08:01,600
So it's a great thing for the district, for our students, but also for the broader community.

102
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,680
The Community Center itself is operational now.

103
00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:08,020
You know, thanks to Jason, who I know is here.

104
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:13,320
There's been a lot of adjustments over the summer, but we've moved back into that space and it's operational.

105
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:20,480
There are little short space right now because they've shrunk their space up, but they'll be expanding once we can open up those new spaces.

106
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,260
So, it's also a last thing down here.

107
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,060
You do have a slide in there about homecoming week.

108
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,900
I'll be going to some of their activities,

109
00:08:29,580 --> 00:08:31,600
but the kids are already having quite a bit of fun

110
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,040
I can see in the community as I walk around.

111
00:08:34,540 --> 00:08:36,640
In the early morning, I saw some,

112
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,760
I'm sure it's part of the homecoming activities,

113
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,120
some of the T.P. thing.

114
00:08:42,420 --> 00:08:45,020
Still seems to be going on in the era of AI

115
00:08:45,020 --> 00:08:46,240
in the 21st century.

116
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:49,640
But this little piece here is all the different homecoming activities.

117
00:08:50,580 --> 00:09:00,420
obviously with it culminating in the in the in the big event the pep rally on Friday, which I will be at, they always do a great job with it with all of the different students.

118
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:08,740
So a lot of different activities, powder puff game on Wednesday, I would go, I have a family event, but I hear that's always fun, so and well attended.

119
00:09:09,620 --> 00:09:17,260
So you can see all that on that little insert from homecoming. So this homecoming week, so please feel free to stop all to the game.

120
00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:22,400
If you want, there's a lot of other activities as well. Any questions?

121
00:09:26,540 --> 00:09:29,000
All right. Great. Thank you, Mr. Monios.

122
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,540
Now's an opportunity for any board of education members if they have any reports.

123
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:41,160
I just want to thank all community members that we're able to attend our annual business meeting.

124
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,620
I know those meetings can be long and feel like they drag sometimes, but I want to thank those that we're able to attend.

125
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:50,420
and thank you for this windler for all your hard work

126
00:09:50,420 --> 00:09:51,800
on that prepping for that meeting.

127
00:09:52,140 --> 00:09:53,080
Thank you.

128
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,420
And then, Halle and I had the opportunity to attend.

129
00:09:59,820 --> 00:10:01,900
There was like a community workshop

130
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:04,520
probably yesterday to describe it on school funding.

131
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,140
It was set up by our state senator.

132
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:09,560
Our state representative was also there.

133
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,920
There's a lot of things that miswinner actually had described

134
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,120
to us about the challenges of school funding in the modern day.

135
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:25,480
It was just a nice community discussion to hear, you know, people's engagement and also some education to the public on how school funding works.

136
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:31,940
And I think we've had that discussion here in the past that's, you know, it's hard to, how do you get the message out?

137
00:10:32,060 --> 00:10:38,120
And I think that was just a convenient timing, it was nice that both are, you know, our state representatives are there as well.

138
00:10:38,660 --> 00:10:39,320
So, it's a nice discussion.

139
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:49,030
I would like to say welcome back to all staff and students for already in our third full week of school.

140
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:56,130
Before the school year began, I had the privilege of joining district staff for their back to school in service.

141
00:10:56,710 --> 00:11:01,890
I also walked through every building with my kids to personally say welcome back to staff.

142
00:11:02,110 --> 00:11:09,070
It was wonderful to meet so many of the educators who keep our schools running and I heard a lot of thank yous for being present.

143
00:11:09,070 --> 00:11:14,850
While visiting, I also heard concerns, especially about the transition away from the copy center

144
00:11:14,850 --> 00:11:17,450
and the added stress that has created.

145
00:11:18,270 --> 00:11:21,490
And of course, many mentioned the challenges from this summer's flooding.

146
00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:27,770
I want to express gratitude to staff who showed incredible resilience in adapting their learning spaces.

147
00:11:28,350 --> 00:11:31,950
My children thought it was funny to have PE in their classrooms when it rains,

148
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:35,790
but there's thrilled to now be back in the full gym at Riverside Elementary.

149
00:11:35,790 --> 00:11:43,830
At the high school, some classrooms are still without needed furniture and storage because of flooding and potential mold issues.

150
00:11:44,450 --> 00:11:50,970
Despite these limitations, our educators continue to create meaningful learning experiences and for that, I am truly thankful.

151
00:11:52,010 --> 00:11:55,470
Finally, September is Suicide Prevention Month.

152
00:11:56,030 --> 00:11:59,830
Sadly, Suicide is a very real issue for young people today.

153
00:12:00,070 --> 00:12:04,170
It is the second leading cause of death for ages 10 through 24.

154
00:12:04,170 --> 00:12:13,790
Well, academics matter, we must remember that children are human first. They need connection and relational support in order to thrive academically.

155
00:12:14,730 --> 00:12:19,490
I'm not sure what specifics steps are being taken to build awareness around suicide in our schools,

156
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:24,950
but I do want to acknowledge and think the professionals on the front lines with students every day,

157
00:12:25,230 --> 00:12:29,470
doing all they can to meet the never-ending list of needs children face.

158
00:12:30,010 --> 00:12:30,450
Thanks.

159
00:12:34,910 --> 00:12:39,570
I was able to attend a few sporting events so I just want to give a shout out to Mr.

160
00:12:39,710 --> 00:12:43,910
Demato and all the other crew that help him out during game days.

161
00:12:44,970 --> 00:12:52,890
It's top notch from security and announcing and everything else that goes into those football

162
00:12:52,890 --> 00:12:53,230
games.

163
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:55,930
It's a lot of work and he and his crew do a great job.

164
00:12:56,170 --> 00:13:01,790
I was also able to go to a volleyball game last week so that was fun and yeah so Mr.

165
00:13:01,930 --> 00:13:03,010
Demato is doing a great job.

166
00:13:03,010 --> 00:13:04,970
and the rest of these crew too.

167
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,420
Anyone else?

168
00:13:11,060 --> 00:13:13,060
Okay, then we'll move on to the discussion items.

169
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:16,420
We have one, and that is the policy drafting schedule.

170
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:23,450
I wanted to put this in there with the background information.

171
00:13:24,010 --> 00:13:26,810
I wrote this up with Dr. Thompson,

172
00:13:27,330 --> 00:13:31,890
just to give a general overview of the drafting schedule

173
00:13:31,890 --> 00:13:33,570
and some potential changes.

174
00:13:34,150 --> 00:13:35,710
And I'm not going to read it word for word,

175
00:13:36,030 --> 00:13:37,650
but there's a couple of different things.

176
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:52,750
This is a Neola process piece, so some of the adjustments to the drafting schedule have to do with the middle of the second paragraph where it talks about update 35-1 and update 35-2.

177
00:13:53,370 --> 00:14:04,050
So every district in the state who works with Neola will receive update 35.1 in a similar way that when you have an update on your iPhone or whatever,

178
00:14:04,050 --> 00:14:10,750
everybody it all gets pushed out and that's the same sort of process. For us, the tweaks that

179
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:18,230
were made to the drafting schedule have to do with those two updates. Update 351 is early December

180
00:14:18,850 --> 00:14:32,090
and after which we'll start drafting the administrative guidelines, which are procedures. So that's the

181
00:14:32,090 --> 00:14:37,170
on old policies or administrative guidelines.

182
00:14:39,210 --> 00:14:42,510
Update 35-2 is going to be coming in May.

183
00:14:43,210 --> 00:14:48,670
So the reason for us to finish before then is for an update to be started.

184
00:14:49,270 --> 00:14:55,350
In other words, the standard process with Niela, the updates are the policy review, you know,

185
00:14:55,450 --> 00:14:58,610
which would come to policy committee and then come to the board.

186
00:14:58,610 --> 00:14:59,970
So...

187
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:12,340
Coming to the policy committee in May or early June, and then after that, the respective whatever came to policy committee would come to the board with update 35.2.

188
00:15:12,940 --> 00:15:25,040
Questions about the right up there or that system or process? That was the reason for the adjustment when Dr. Thompson and I were working on the drafting schedule to week.

189
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Now we're nearly done. We have two more drafting schedules to go. We have to come through committee

190
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,220
yet and then come to the board. So it's several months removed from coming to the board,

191
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:43,620
but we're getting close to done. So did this change? There wasn't adjustment. Yeah.

192
00:15:43,620 --> 00:15:49,780
Well, was it? We move things up a little bit so that... Like before December?

193
00:15:50,780 --> 00:16:01,580
No, no, so the change had really to do with the second half of the schedule, December was always just an open policy committee meeting.

194
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:07,360
Now it's probably going to be active because we'll have AGs there, which are procedures.

195
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,440
It's got it.

196
00:16:08,540 --> 00:16:09,320
It's a good question.

197
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:17,580
So the second half of this schedule, meaning 2026, January, February, March, will be administrative

198
00:16:17,580 --> 00:16:18,300
guidelines,

199
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:26,460
which are, which are Neolas words for procedures, tomato, tomato,

200
00:16:28,470 --> 00:16:28,790
any other

201
00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:29,290
questions?

202
00:16:32,330 --> 00:16:32,390
Okay.

203
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:35,060
Okay.

204
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:35,720
Thank you.

205
00:16:36,060 --> 00:16:40,300
The next item would be item four, the invitation for statements and comments from the

206
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:40,720
audience.

207
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,820
However, there are none, so moving on to action items.

208
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:53,880
Our first action item is neolapalacies, 142.5, and 111.0.

209
00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:00,080
Yeah, 142.5, there are a little out of sequence because we had some changes to make that

210
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,500
came out of policy committee and weren't ready for the board.

211
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,680
So we had to take it back to policy committee, and this has to do with vacancies of board members.

212
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:15,820
So all the adjustments that we're talked about in the committee meeting were inputted in to this clean draft.

213
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:24,820
And similarly, there were actually no changes to 11, 10, 11, 1, 1, 0 assessment of district goals.

214
00:17:25,340 --> 00:17:32,080
That was just a clerical miss when we brought all of those initial policies to the board.

215
00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:35,900
So, oh, there's separate items, I'm sorry.

216
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:38,180
So, we'll vote separately.

217
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:41,100
That's what I thought.

218
00:17:41,740 --> 00:17:42,440
That isn't going to vote.

219
00:17:42,940 --> 00:17:43,920
That's okay.

220
00:17:45,020 --> 00:17:45,160
Yeah.

221
00:17:47,490 --> 00:17:48,070
Questions?

222
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Any discussion?

223
00:17:54,980 --> 00:17:55,180
Okay.

224
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:06,480
Can I get a motion to approve the first read preliminary approval of Neolapolicies 142.5 and 1-1-1-0 as presented?

225
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:07,720
I can.

226
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:09,240
I can second.

227
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:18,020
I have a motion in a second. All in favour say aye. Aye. Opposed? There are none. Motion passes unanimously.

228
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:24,380
And moving on to item B and Yola policies, the 5,000s.

229
00:18:24,660 --> 00:18:29,840
So lots of things, several different administrators were involved in helping with this.

230
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:36,560
and Halverson, Alex Just, you may reable quite a few people, had input into these policies

231
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,280
and changes.

232
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:46,400
I know there is one adjustment for sure on 53, 10 seconds from the bottom, on 53, 10.

233
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:54,440
There is a type-out on the bottom that needs to be corrected, which we will correct as part

234
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,440
of any motion.

235
00:18:56,380 --> 00:19:05,180
So, policy 5, 3, 1, 0, health services, the bottom portion says this includes a full description.

236
00:19:05,980 --> 00:19:08,920
Includes an air kind of tied in as one word.

237
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,620
I'll make sure to clean that up before it comes back to the full board for final approval.

238
00:19:16,460 --> 00:19:17,060
Are there any other...

239
00:19:17,060 --> 00:19:19,000
There's an apostrophe also, too.

240
00:19:19,260 --> 00:19:19,760
Pardon that?

241
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:20,880
Got it.

242
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,620
For children's or guardians in regards to...

243
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:38,580
get any other questions with the 5,000s, these generally deal with like homelessness, suspensions,

244
00:19:38,860 --> 00:19:46,880
attendance, detentions, that kind of thing, student quota conduct, graduation.

245
00:19:48,180 --> 00:19:55,040
So I have a general question in one specific question, so how I understand it is there

246
00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:01,080
can be like at the bottom it will say like coffee right Neola and that means that it's like

247
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:10,560
literally Neola's policy correct and maybe we did some like typo like grammatical

248
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:16,580
corrections but it still stays Neola right yeah I mean these are all Neola templates

249
00:20:16,580 --> 00:20:22,380
they're we're like on the final at the bottom yep so we're allowed certain adjustments

250
00:20:22,380 --> 00:20:41,020
inside of, like they'll have option A, B, or C. So, or something like that, and they determine whether, like, for this example, Neola, 2025, that was updated recently, that's come through a recent update, and that's fully their template.

251
00:20:41,020 --> 00:20:55,040
In some instances, we have certain things that are specific to local that make more sense and that make more sense based on how we do things here.

252
00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:59,300
For example, alternative schools are a little bit different everywhere.

253
00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:03,260
Some have GD options too, some don't have GD option too.

254
00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:07,260
We don't at this point, so there's going to be nuances like that.

255
00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:12,520
just based on state statute, the way that's written under 1, 1, 8, 1, 8, 1, 5.

256
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,540
So that's an example. So there's going to be local nuances.

257
00:21:16,740 --> 00:21:20,740
Or credit totals. How we do credits is a little bit different here.

258
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,280
Then the basic template, even though the state minimum,

259
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:27,080
you know, says something else in the state law.

260
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,720
So those sorts of changes.

261
00:21:31,180 --> 00:21:35,020
So I understand that there's new all the ones. There's schools that should give them

262
00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:40,040
And then there's some that are listed as Neola and school district of Neomu Falls.

263
00:21:40,260 --> 00:21:41,380
How does that happen?

264
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:46,940
Yeah, I mean, so it's in an example generally speaking like that.

265
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:54,340
The vast majority of the policy is Neola, but a paragraph or so is perhaps cut from our old policies.

266
00:21:55,260 --> 00:22:01,320
So our old policies that were vetted by legal counsel, so taken from our old policies.

267
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,560
So, in some cases, our existing policies, which are very good policies that have been

268
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:12,600
vetted, they make more sense locally than the templates that Neolah has.

269
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:20,260
But the vast majority of what we're doing is aligned with the Neolah brand, the vast majority,

270
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,320
right, well over 90%.

271
00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:26,760
Probably higher, but I can get that for you once we get to final draft.

272
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Okay.

273
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:49,320
Well, and I asked you because I just, I don't know, my brain isn't totally getting the, so for example, in 5, 5, 0, 5 within the edited version of academic honesty. There's literally like one part that says like, or in handbook.

274
00:22:49,320 --> 00:23:07,680
And then it's marked as both, and I'll be like, okay, so is that covered through Nielas to, or whatever the insurance is, or you're given him trying to say, like it's a little bit like, what determines when it is both, when it is one or the other.

275
00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:09,680
Neol, Neol, it determines that.

276
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:09,880
Okay.

277
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:19,300
So in this particular instance, the, we've put quite a bit of work into our artificial intelligence that has to do with AI.

278
00:23:19,860 --> 00:23:27,240
So there's quite a bit of work that's being done by Katie Welky and Emily Leonard with artificial intelligence.

279
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:33,760
So there's and there's quite a bit of things with academic on is the link to AI and it linked to that.

280
00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:43,200
So I think this is a good blend but it does follow the legal statutes 1, 1, 1, 8, 0, 1, 1, 8, 0, 1, 1, 2,

281
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,760
of Wisconsin statutes.

282
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,220
Okay.

283
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,300
That makes more sense.

284
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:49,020
Maybe it just wasn't highlighted green or something.

285
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:49,260
Yeah.

286
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:56,980
In that particular situation, 5505, which is what you listed, I know from the drafting that

287
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,440
it's the artificial intelligence piece on the back end.

288
00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:08,460
There's quite a bit of work that's being done in that regard, so there'll be more changes

289
00:24:08,460 --> 00:24:13,180
probably coming to this particular policy and the associated AGs.

290
00:24:13,180 --> 00:24:21,820
just it's just a it's a real current field we're basing some of our work on

291
00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:26,160
with permission from Peewaki who's a local district doing a lot of great

292
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:32,120
things with AI policies and that's where a lot of that collaboration comes from

293
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:39,090
I just know that and talk into both Katie Welky and Emily Leonard and then my

294
00:24:39,090 --> 00:24:43,470
last just clarifying question is about five four six one it's titled

295
00:24:43,470 --> 00:24:46,010
children at risk of not graduating from high school.

296
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:48,510
There's a part that is the district-shide

297
00:24:48,510 --> 00:24:51,450
identify all children at risk enrolled in the district.

298
00:24:52,590 --> 00:24:55,070
And the peace I'm just intrigued by is the district

299
00:24:55,070 --> 00:24:57,190
shall annually develop a plan describing

300
00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:59,810
how the board will meet the needs of such students.

301
00:25:01,310 --> 00:25:05,890
So my question is, do we do this now and if so what's

302
00:25:05,890 --> 00:25:09,670
the process and then also, or is this something that's

303
00:25:09,670 --> 00:25:11,570
just developed through the administrative guidelines?

304
00:25:12,370 --> 00:25:19,850
I know, I mean, I know a lot about this, it's how I came through administration, but 5461

305
00:25:19,850 --> 00:25:26,550
has to do with, specifically, sitting sur at risk, you know, fit two of the following five

306
00:25:26,550 --> 00:25:32,170
categories, behind and credits behind in skills that you'd have to get a delinquent, they're

307
00:25:32,170 --> 00:25:37,010
all listed there, are they parents and or are they eventually trying? They need to fit two

308
00:25:37,010 --> 00:25:42,910
those five categories and then they're technically at risk, not being trouble or bad. That's

309
00:25:42,910 --> 00:25:50,050
not what that means. At risk of not graduating. Those identifications are important. Do we have

310
00:25:50,050 --> 00:25:57,450
a system in place? Yes. We have indicators for all of this that come through our SST teams.

311
00:25:57,690 --> 00:26:04,530
They do a very good job with it and they develop check-ins for students who start to fit these categories.

312
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:13,910
It's more common to start with habitual truncy, which is why that's one of our main strategic

313
00:26:13,910 --> 00:26:20,670
plan focuses, because attendance and truncy itself is one of the five factors that being

314
00:26:20,670 --> 00:26:27,390
habitually trunced, I mean, you only have to fit one more, and usually it's something like

315
00:26:27,390 --> 00:26:29,610
behind-in credits.

316
00:26:29,610 --> 00:26:34,350
So behind-in credits, usually it's 4.5 credits a year.

317
00:26:34,750 --> 00:26:36,490
That's how the DPI and the state

318
00:26:36,490 --> 00:26:38,050
identifies behind-in credits.

319
00:26:38,630 --> 00:26:40,870
So if you're not doing 4.5 credits a year,

320
00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:43,930
that's a qualifier, habitually true, and then you're at risk.

321
00:26:44,450 --> 00:26:47,770
So what we're defining is we have to have programs,

322
00:26:48,050 --> 00:26:50,110
which we do, some districts do not.

323
00:26:51,490 --> 00:26:56,790
We have programs available and systems to get into and out

324
00:26:56,790 --> 00:26:59,290
of said programs, if need be.

325
00:26:59,950 --> 00:27:05,590
OK, so is that this sentence how it reads to develop a plan

326
00:27:05,590 --> 00:27:08,530
describing how the board will meet the needs of such students?

327
00:27:09,390 --> 00:27:12,490
I read it differently, but now you say that it's

328
00:27:12,490 --> 00:27:16,950
saying that you're more just sharing the different programs

329
00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:20,770
that are available, not like a list of individual students

330
00:27:20,770 --> 00:27:22,110
and how they're going to.

331
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:25,710
OK, it's like, wow, this seems like a record.

332
00:27:27,790 --> 00:27:45,310
There's less than there's numbers that are on SSTs and confidence, because we're tracking live now, you know, who's a bitch of the trend, and then we can see you know, who's behind in credits, but it's also behind in skills, behind in skills is one of the indicators.

333
00:27:45,310 --> 00:27:52,030
So if you're behind in skills for multiple years in reading and math or whatever, that is also

334
00:27:52,030 --> 00:27:52,610
an indicator.

335
00:27:53,570 --> 00:28:00,150
So those are things that principals quite honestly in our training, we're looking for those

336
00:28:00,150 --> 00:28:06,470
things, especially in the middle school and then definitely high school.

337
00:28:07,010 --> 00:28:07,910
Okay, thank you.

338
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:09,250
I read it differently now.

339
00:28:10,470 --> 00:28:11,750
That was all I had.

340
00:28:12,350 --> 00:28:13,030
Thank you.

341
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,240
All right.

342
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:31,240
So, I'm going to need a motion to approve the, to approve the first read preliminary approval of Neil of 5,000 policies as presented, so that certainly would include those minor edits that we talked about earlier.

343
00:28:31,740 --> 00:28:32,360
I'll make the motion.

344
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,440
I have a motion.

345
00:28:34,020 --> 00:28:34,800
And a second.

346
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:36,880
Is there any further discussion?

347
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:38,680
Hearing none.

348
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,160
All in favor say aye.

349
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:41,560
Opposed.

350
00:28:42,380 --> 00:28:43,600
And that passes unanimously.

351
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,880
Thank you.

352
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,900
Moving on to item C vouchers payable.

353
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,540
I'd like to make a motion to approve vouchers payable through September 18th, 2025,

354
00:28:54,180 --> 00:28:58,650
and the amount of 2,640,710 dollars and 39 cents.

355
00:28:59,860 --> 00:29:00,700
I can second.

356
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:01,800
Okay.

357
00:29:01,980 --> 00:29:03,260
I have a motion and a second.

358
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:04,520
Is there any discussion?

359
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:08,480
Hearing none, all in favor say aye.

360
00:29:09,740 --> 00:29:10,160
Opposed?

361
00:29:11,420 --> 00:29:11,640
All right.

362
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,640
And that also passes unanimously unanimously.

363
00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:18,100
All right, and we are on to the consent agenda.

364
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,840
There is only one item.

365
00:29:21,740 --> 00:29:24,180
So are we going to...

366
00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:25,980
We do have the minutes?

367
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,220
Yeah, that is the item for consent agenda.

368
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,440
And it has been pulled out.

369
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,400
So we certainly have the opportunity for discussion.

370
00:29:36,460 --> 00:29:37,640
Yeah, so I just wanted to pull it out.

371
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,540
I think, I would say, Ms. Christensen is, you know,

372
00:29:40,540 --> 00:29:43,680
welcome to bring up, I think any one should be able to bring up

373
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,020
concerned about conflicts of interest.

374
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,480
I would just ask that out of fairness,

375
00:29:49,660 --> 00:29:52,580
I would ask that the Minister's also reflect that I stated

376
00:29:52,580 --> 00:29:54,340
that I did not have a conflict of interest,

377
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:57,680
just for someone going back, wouldn't necessarily,

378
00:29:59,140 --> 00:29:59,960
it's odd in our midst.

379
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,420
And at least I tried to go back away, and I didn't see, usually discussions aren't really captured.

380
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:15,860
So I would just ask that we put in a line saying that Board Member Kramer stated that he had no conflicts of interest.

381
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:27,860
I mean, I don't have a problem with that. I don't know what the typical, like if there needs to be a motion or

382
00:30:27,860 --> 00:30:29,940
I just couldn't find any minute.

383
00:30:29,940 --> 00:30:32,200
If we just say we add that.

384
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:32,740
Yeah, absolutely.

385
00:30:50,970 --> 00:30:53,810
Okay, so the question is going to read Mr.

386
00:30:53,930 --> 00:30:56,690
Cramer believes he has no conflict of interest.

387
00:31:03,470 --> 00:31:04,070
All right.

388
00:31:05,690 --> 00:31:10,310
Okay, so do I have a motion to approve the August 11th,

389
00:31:10,610 --> 00:31:15,990
2025 Board of Education meeting minutes as presented and updated?

390
00:31:17,210 --> 00:31:17,930
I'll make the motion.

391
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:29,400
Okay. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay. That passes unanimously. Future board agenda

392
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:38,720
items. Is there anything anyone has for that? I do. I was wondering if we could get a current

393
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:48,460
update on the student school board member application interview process. Yeah. Board President

394
00:31:48,460 --> 00:31:52,820
Grant that I were talking about that the last several days actually since our regular

395
00:31:52,820 --> 00:31:55,580
Thursday meeting and then we talked again today.

396
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:03,720
We currently have no applicants as of today, but Mr. Gebauer and I will check into that again.

397
00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:10,440
Meaning, see if there's other people that might be interested since they've met with groups.

398
00:32:10,860 --> 00:32:14,200
And that's been on the daily announcements in the high school.

399
00:32:14,540 --> 00:32:15,720
Yep, it has been.

400
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,800
We'll continue to work on that.

401
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,220
That's the update.

402
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:20,720
Thanks.

403
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,900
But we're working on it, meaning Jennifer,

404
00:32:24,180 --> 00:32:26,860
Ms. President Grant and I, we regret,

405
00:32:26,980 --> 00:32:31,460
we meet weekly, and that is a topic every time.

406
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:35,420
The only other thing, and I know this is coming up soon.

407
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,700
The test scores, the ACT and all that stuff.

408
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,220
Is that usually October, November?

409
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,440
I know it's sometime this year.

410
00:32:45,060 --> 00:32:48,620
I know I've been asked a couple of questions by a couple of people in the community.

411
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,680
I do believe they're coming out later this month yet so that we can share.

412
00:32:57,340 --> 00:32:58,740
Oh, that's the magic.

413
00:32:58,860 --> 00:32:59,820
You just gotta be a little closer.

414
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,760
They should be coming out later this month.

415
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,140
So since we have that we can share preliminaries and then I do believe we're scheduled in October

416
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:15,940
to come back and do score card close out that we can as well as the new strategic plan.

417
00:33:15,940 --> 00:33:19,040
plan to district smart card for the year.

418
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:19,640
Okay.

419
00:33:19,700 --> 00:33:20,220
I knew it was soon.

420
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,440
I just wanted to make sure it was coming up.

421
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:26,160
Yeah, I just found out the other day when it was that it was coming this month.

422
00:33:26,540 --> 00:33:26,560
So.

423
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:26,760
Great.

424
00:33:26,780 --> 00:33:27,120
Thank you.

425
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,740
So student board member, test scores will be in October.

426
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,240
We also have the final budget will be in October.

427
00:33:34,020 --> 00:33:35,020
And the new D.O.

428
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,320
We'll have a lot on the new D.O.

429
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,100
at the next meeting as well as tomorrow at the Finance Committee meeting.

430
00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:43,600
Which obviously everybody's invited to.

431
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:52,860
But I'm also wondering, was it common in the past or could it be future?

432
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:58,540
Like, do we still do falls financed and could we do something monthly or some kind of showcase

433
00:33:58,540 --> 00:34:03,600
of what's happening with staff, students, groups, whatever?

434
00:34:05,380 --> 00:34:06,020
Yes.

435
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,400
We do that.

436
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:15,020
We typically have a number of, you know, get a group of, you know, a couple different groups.

437
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:23,780
to celebrate at the same time as opposed to having just like one at every meeting, so a couple

438
00:34:23,780 --> 00:34:25,300
times a year. Okay.

439
00:34:27,380 --> 00:34:30,460
All right, and that brings us to the end of our meeting, and I would need

440
00:34:30,460 --> 00:34:32,100
a motion to adjourn.

441
00:34:34,810 --> 00:34:40,690
I have a motion in a second, and I'll in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? We are adjourned. Thank you.
