So this is kind of the 172 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,760 same when I go back to, if you have stakeholders at your schools that are 173 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,780 interested in the council of work, they don't really know what it is. This might be 174 00:13:50,780 --> 00:13:54,200 something that you could realize. And so I usually say that you type of schools 175 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,340 internet, the school luncheon program, to enhance classroom instruction and 176 00:13:59,340 --> 00:14:03,340 improve student achievement in areas of the greatest academic need. So as we 177 00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:05,120 We go through the different requirements today. 178 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,540 I'm hoping that we can all keep this in mind because the different requirements do kind 179 00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:10,740 of tie back to the stage. 180 00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:17,080 The council work is really ultimately about enhancing classroom instruction and targeting 181 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,360 those really critical academic needs at your service. 182 00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:26,700 So those of you who are veterans in the program, hopefully seeing that change over time, that 183 00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:32,500 the council work does really target those areas, those that are new, you'll start to see that 184 00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:37,100 you know, as you meet with your council, the discussions are really based around that data. 185 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,460 So, it's important to some of the numbers here. 186 00:14:41,780 --> 00:14:49,640 So, this year we're slated to, it should be about $133.5 million, about $834, or I think 187 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,420 it's $135,000 going to more industry this year. 188 00:14:53,420 --> 00:14:58,960 So, we're seeing a continual increase in the fund and we'll continue hopefully continue 189 00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,400 to see that. 190 00:15:01,780 --> 00:15:08,400 And so, today, what we really want to talk about is council work and your responsibilities as council 191 00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:16,020 sheriffs have been elected yet, or as just members, you're seeing just members. Okay, perfect. 192 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,980 So, we'll be going over those responsibilities for those councils, interwoven into the presentation. 193 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,340 We will be talking directly to board members and how you guys can support that process and 194 00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:29,800 and how maybe some best practices, 195 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,040 but I've kind of gathered from different districts 196 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,820 throughout the state, and then I've been 197 00:15:33,820 --> 00:15:35,340 helping to continue that year for more. 198 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,040 So what are school community councils? 199 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,780 First thing to consider is that school community councils 200 00:15:41,780 --> 00:15:43,120 are really designed to involve parents 201 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,440 and decision making at the school. 202 00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:47,540 I would also extend this to say that's not just parents, 203 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,100 but it's also a different stakeholder 204 00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:50,320 like their school employees, 205 00:15:51,020 --> 00:15:53,700 your school board members as you attend those meetings, right? 206 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,560 And your principals as well. 207 00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:57,640 So it's kind of this intersection of a lot 208 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,380 of different stakeholders at the schools. 209 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,860 The second purpose is to improve the education students 210 00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:07,540 so that that has enhanced the type of instruction piece. 211 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,180 And you're also collaborating in a way 212 00:16:10,180 --> 00:16:12,520 that's going to prepare a plan that's 213 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,780 going to be centered around the use 214 00:16:14,780 --> 00:16:17,900 of school land trust funds for the next academic year. 215 00:16:18,140 --> 00:16:20,900 So your council is implementing the plan 216 00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,080 from last year currently. 217 00:16:22,860 --> 00:16:26,200 And you guys will be going into your next year's plan 218 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,620 and sometimes in the winter and in the spring. 219 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,520 Another thing that kind of gets lost over some time, 220 00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:34,320 but something that we do want to kind of touch 221 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,640 is that the councils are responsible 222 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,780 for public awareness of the funds. 223 00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,360 So oftentimes, we see that parent involvement 224 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,960 is using time to very active councils. 225 00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:47,900 And so when I go to a conference 226 00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:50,900 and a teacher or a parent has a parent 227 00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:51,980 of the school that has trust fund 228 00:16:51,980 --> 00:16:53,360 and are really familiar with it, 229 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,780 It's usually because the council itself has been super active in community. 230 00:16:58,540 --> 00:17:02,880 So one of the things that you do want to consider, just making sure that you have those conversations 231 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:09,540 on whether it's at parent event walking with other parents from school or to school, those 232 00:17:09,540 --> 00:17:14,380 small things go a long way in increasing those parent involvement. 233 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,700 So some of the kind of concerns you guys go forward trying to get more parent involvement 234 00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:20,400 in your councils. 235 00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:28,420 As a council member, you have some responsibilities that are protected by a state mandate. 236 00:17:28,820 --> 00:17:35,140 You have the ability to advise and make recommendations on different things such as district initiatives, 237 00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:41,820 the positive behavior plan, the teachers' success plan, child access routing, and school breakfast. 238 00:17:42,140 --> 00:17:47,360 This is all in state statute, and so you as a council do have an extended, 239 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,500 to reach this value can kind of make recommendations 240 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:52,420 on these different things that are there. 241 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,100 But the big chunk of your work is really going to be 242 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,580 not only on these, I guess, different initiatives, 243 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,320 but it's really going to be about the School of Manchuria's 244 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,460 Plan and being part of this first part 245 00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:07,560 which is the data review. 246 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,360 If you've been part of School of Indian Council meetings, 247 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,880 you've probably seen a lot of data at meetings, 248 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,100 discussing what the data shows, 249 00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:19,020 but also is your plan working, right? 250 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:22,100 Your data is going to really drive that discussion there. 251 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,000 So a huge part of your council work 252 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,880 and responsibility is going to be part of being part of this discussion. 253 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,120 Being part of reviewing the academic success 254 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,300 and also identifying what those things 255 00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:35,300 that our students really need support in 256 00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:37,200 and how can we help using those funds. 257 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,080 And essentially kind of one of the big things there 258 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,580 in terms of council work. 259 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,940 You're also going to be in charge of really determining 260 00:18:44,940 --> 00:18:48,440 how are you going to be using that funding in collaboration with your 261 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,700 principals as well as your school board members and so it's really a really big 262 00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:58,280 conversation. One thing I really love about this program is as a teacher you're 263 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,640 usually on like a leadership team kind of isolated from different stakeholders 264 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,820 whereas community councils you kind of have this interaction of principal and 265 00:19:06,820 --> 00:19:12,960 teacher and parent all the same place so to have those three stakeholders who are 266 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,160 all of the students' lives, having discussions about their success has a really powerful 267 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,440 point. 268 00:19:17,860 --> 00:19:22,500 So, we do want to highlight that as one of your main responsibilities as a council member. 269 00:19:23,580 --> 00:19:29,300 To kind of help guide that, there's a resource here that is a timeline not just for principals 270 00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:36,400 but also for council members, and what I've recommended to council chairs is to really use this 271 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,860 timeline as a way of guiding your agenda for a huge council meeting. 272 00:19:40,860 --> 00:19:45,560 One of the top points I get at conferences from council chairs is, how do I run a meeting? 273 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,760 How do I run an agenda? 274 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,400 And if you're an education, it just kind of becomes a second nature, right? 275 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,400 You just type it out, it's there, right? 276 00:19:53,160 --> 00:20:00,280 But oftentimes, we'll be doing some guidelines and so this calendar or this timeline can be a helpful resource there for you. 277 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,600 And looking at timelines, there are really four major points that you and your counseling and keep in line. 278 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,040 And one is coming up, you guys start school next week, 279 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:11,500 is that right?

317 00:22:47,260 --> 00:22:57,200 That's correct. So in, so I guess we can jump to three here, is if the school decides, hey, you know what, we don't really need time for, we can use more. 318 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,100 Then you can adjust that, use the mixture of the council votes on that, just before. 319 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:11,360 So, the question there, the other thing I can keep in mind is regardless of your council structure, it doesn't need to have that two-part majority. 320 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:17,420 So just make sure that you have that same question. 321 00:23:18,780 --> 00:23:18,880 Yes? 322 00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:22,580 This structure here is not in the principal, right? 323 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,460 The two employees are in the principal. 324 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,240 So the two employees does include the principal there. 325 00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:30,220 So you're just doing one additional school employee. 326 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,260 So it is also good for principals you are a voting member. 327 00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:37,160 So just make sure you hug yourself that. 328 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,880 in your whatever roster you report and your questions. 329 00:23:47,610 --> 00:23:53,710 A couple, so going to how school board members can support this implementation here. 330 00:23:54,170 --> 00:23:58,130 One is just making sure that you're looking at your school's rules of room procedure. 331 00:23:58,450 --> 00:24:01,610 So as you kind of work with or you attend those meetings, 332 00:24:02,390 --> 00:24:07,430 take a look at them and make sure, hey, does this kind of match up with what's expected from the code? 333 00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:13,630 And also we do have rubrics and resources on our website to kind of check that as well. 334 00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:18,950 So whether you're a board member, or a principal, or a council member, there are resources 335 00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:21,690 for you to kind of deliver those things right there. 336 00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:25,230 Another thing to kind of keep in mind is just communication. 337 00:24:26,270 --> 00:24:31,450 One thing that we see is that when school board members are communicating regularly with their 338 00:24:31,450 --> 00:24:36,150 councils, that's when they know when deadlines are, that's when they know when to report things. 339 00:24:36,150 --> 00:24:40,070 But there are also a communication about your priorities as a board, right? 340 00:24:40,430 --> 00:24:45,090 So that communication comes really important because when it comes to plan writing time, 341 00:24:45,390 --> 00:24:49,570 they're able to align those plans to your district board initiatives. 342 00:24:50,170 --> 00:24:53,950 So it might keep in mind as you guys attend meetings, yes. 343 00:24:54,250 --> 00:24:59,410 Just a comment there because I want to make sure that we have a clarification there. 344 00:25:00,050 --> 00:25:05,110 That communication can be through the building principle, from us to the building principle 345 00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:10,390 right it's not that we have to directly tell them but that communication we 346 00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:14,590 can communicate with the principals that that can then say oh these are board 347 00:25:14,590 --> 00:25:20,890 goals for the 26 27 year yeah sure that could be one way we've also seen some 348 00:25:20,890 --> 00:25:23,850 districts kind of have board members attend meetings and kind of cycle through 349 00:25:23,850 --> 00:25:31,370 them we do that we attend meetings yeah so that's perfect I think you know when 350 00:25:31,370 --> 00:25:36,550 have those two things kind of working together, you know, you're working at a 351 00:25:36,550 --> 00:25:40,890 good place.

Are we rotating now, or with the calendar, calendar year? 354 00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:59,110 Yeah, because we'll keep our same school until December and then we change again. 355 00:26:01,370 --> 00:26:02,390 by you guys time to have that conversation. 356 00:26:02,810 --> 00:26:04,470 Just gave you time for a drink, right? 357 00:26:04,470 --> 00:26:06,030 No, that's what I asked. 358 00:26:06,430 --> 00:26:07,550 It's all part of the story. 359 00:26:08,750 --> 00:26:09,190 Great. 360 00:26:09,490 --> 00:26:11,470 A couple other things to consider too 361 00:26:11,470 --> 00:26:13,270 is making sure that you're district liaison. 362 00:26:13,670 --> 00:26:15,350 So I believe that's Andy and Scott. 363 00:26:16,010 --> 00:26:17,490 Make sure that you're also communicating with them 364 00:26:17,490 --> 00:26:20,830 on those timeline things as well as due dates. 365 00:26:21,170 --> 00:26:24,390 You as a board decide that due date for your plans 366 00:26:24,390 --> 00:26:26,230 and so you're just making sure you're communicating with them. 367 00:26:27,290 --> 00:26:28,690 Helps a huge amount. 368 00:26:28,690 --> 00:26:33,670 And then also making sure that we are talking about this communication with our councils 369 00:26:33,670 --> 00:26:37,530 before I can feed back those things become pretty important throughout the year. 370 00:26:38,410 --> 00:26:43,410 As a council chair, so we don't have council chairs yet, but some of the kind of considered 371 00:26:43,990 --> 00:26:49,350 as you move towards that in your first meeting, is really your council chair in collaboration 372 00:26:49,350 --> 00:26:51,730 with the council is the one who's saying the agenda. 373 00:26:52,430 --> 00:27:01,790 The reason why I kind of hover around this, this bullet point for a little longer is because it has become a huge part of the council operation. 374 00:27:02,510 --> 00:27:12,750 Often times they may have been in the program long enough to see that discussion kind of like goes off the rails and kind of goes into this whole thing about you don't even know what it was before. 375 00:27:14,490 --> 00:27:19,010 And so, one thing to kind of do is, you know, as a council chair, work with your principals 376 00:27:19,010 --> 00:27:23,910 to create that agenda, and use as your guide line, and as your kind of, you know, your 377 00:27:23,910 --> 00:27:27,310 railroad tracks for how you're going to set the conversation plan. 378 00:27:27,970 --> 00:27:32,910 And what we've seen is that when that does happen, that does give the council sure the ability 379 00:27:32,910 --> 00:27:37,530 to say in the middle of the meeting, hey, I understand it's concerned, but let's disable this for 380 00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:41,650 it next time, and let's make that part of discussion for our future meeting. 381 00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:54,050 That's one way you can kind of resolve that issue and the other way you can kind of consider is also using your council to form subcommittees, where that person who's really passionate about that one academic thing, 382 00:27:54,550 --> 00:28:00,070 use that subcommittee to research or to investigate that thing and report back to the council. 383 00:28:00,430 --> 00:28:08,930 So it saves and preserves that council meeting time, but also gives that person kind of responsibility and the ownership of that thing. 384 00:28:08,930 --> 00:28:15,570 So, simply kind of consider as you guys navigate those things, that surprisingly happens a lot, from what I've been 385 00:28:16,210 --> 00:28:23,970 conversation with the parents and with principals. So, simply kind of keep in mind. I'm seeing some head nods too, so I'm imagining that happens. 386 00:28:24,990 --> 00:28:33,370 A couple other things kind of consider as your council chair. One is to make sure that you're also informing council members about their resources that are available. 387 00:28:33,530 --> 00:28:36,870 So, that first slide about my website or about the public website. 388 00:28:37,810 --> 00:28:43,450 always directly towards that. That's how we avoid confusion about requirements and we want to 389 00:28:43,450 --> 00:28:48,490 make sure that you guys are going to be right in the communication spot, so try to get there for you. 390 00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:53,790 Other things that I consider as a council chair is, like I said before, is community 391 00:28:53,790 --> 00:28:59,090 first occasion, right? You as a council chair and you as a council member can really get these other 392 00:28:59,090 --> 00:29:03,650 people involved, your school board members, your teachers, even students, you can have students 393 00:29:03,650 --> 00:29:08,310 speak at the community council meetings and report on what's working in their 394 00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:11,690 class. You probably have student leadership positions that are available 395 00:29:11,690 --> 00:29:15,510 there. That's one thing that we've seen council's do that's your belief. I think 396 00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:21,510 awesome part of the discussion. You can have teachers discuss implementation of 397 00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:25,230 successful programs. You give teachers discuss where the things they're seeing 398 00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:28,750 in the data that might be the attention. You can't even have your board members 399 00:29:28,750 --> 00:29:33,030 come and say, hey, can you come speak on this initiative and what you expect for 400 00:29:33,030 --> 00:29:39,190 us as a council. Those types of conversations can be really helpful for councils, but also 401 00:29:39,190 --> 00:29:46,050 makes that month and being pretty, or pretty highly concerned. So I'm seeing if I consider 402 00:29:46,050 --> 00:29:52,790 it as a move forward. A couple other things. You guys in council shared do prepare the agenda, 403 00:29:52,950 --> 00:29:58,130 but you also prepare kind of an annual timeline for those agendas. That calendar that we covered 404 00:29:58,130 --> 00:29:59,810 beginning to be a helpful tool. 405 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:21,480 Thank you for that. You're also making assignments for your other council members, so you can delegate to other council members and say, hey, can you look into this or can you do this assignment? And also, as a council chair, you're making sure that the rules of our procedure is available for your council of your committee. I just give you a guide book on how to navigate that discussion. 406 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,620 Questions about council chair or council work? 407 00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:47,260 So I'm not quite sure how important it is, so I'm going to think it out loud as I say it, but I'm trying, I'm wondering if you can maybe give an example of how this can look better because I love like as a council chair, I would love to be able to take some of the word not the principal of preparing the agenda. 408 00:30:47,260 --> 00:30:53,040 So obviously you're website, but also what do you mean by how we can help delegates? 409 00:30:54,660 --> 00:30:58,320 So all responsibility is a follow on the crystal on the chair and each meeting. 410 00:30:58,660 --> 00:30:58,800 Sure. 411 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,460 So some of those things, it could be as simply as, you know, if you have like a secretary 412 00:31:03,460 --> 00:31:08,760 for the council, like the no-taker, that's one thing, oftentimes I've seen council chairs 413 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:09,740 like do all of that. 414 00:31:10,140 --> 00:31:12,220 It doesn't necessarily have to be just you. 415 00:31:13,460 --> 00:31:15,820 Other things, it could be like this form of subcommittees. 416 00:31:16,580 --> 00:31:20,700 There are shares that have to be on the subcommittees, so you can kind of delegate work through 417 00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:22,300 those pathways. 418 00:31:24,260 --> 00:31:27,840 You wouldn't be able to delegate things like the recording requirements, that's really 419 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,340 the principal's responsibility. 420 00:31:30,620 --> 00:31:34,360 But I would leave that up to the council on how you want to navigate that. 421 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,240 There isn't like a specific rule for how that happens there. 422 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,640 So, and I'm always happy to kind of, you know, kind of mull over some ideas too. 423 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,700 So if you did, do you get one happy that question? 424 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:48,840 Other questions? 425 00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:50,940 Does that kind of help you get the starting point? 426 00:31:51,340 --> 00:31:53,100 Yeah, I'm also still kind of wondering, 427 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,620 like, how should it look between the chair and the principal, 428 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:57,800 and like, not that it hasn't? 429 00:31:58,940 --> 00:32:01,240 I feel like a lot of the burden falls on the chair 430 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,500 and the point of the chair and the principal. 431 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,600 And wondering is that how it should look? 432 00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:06,940 Should it, at the chair, should I, but do you more? 433 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,640 I'm trying to navigate this. 434 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,760 I think there is a water response way 435 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,180 for principals. I think principals in the room know that they're recording, even looking 436 00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:24,640 into your counsel, the membership structure, right, communicating with me, seeing my feedback 437 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:29,700 and plans that there's a lot of responsibility and those things don't change. But I think 438 00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:33,360 if there's things, as you're meeting with your principal and you say, hey, you know, as 439 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:38,120 you prepare for this next meeting, if you can delegate and kind of fill out the work that 440 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:46,200 That way, that's something to consider, but in terms of reporting and those things, that really falls on me. 441 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,940 So, you know, principals, you can yell at me if you can go up to me here. 442 00:32:50,420 --> 00:32:52,900 You know, feeling the new toward board numbers too. 443 00:32:54,900 --> 00:33:03,700 Sometimes, like, I've had it really awesome to come to church, where we've actually met beforehand, or even after the meeting. 444 00:33:05,620 --> 00:33:08,660 I found that when we did those type of things, 445 00:33:09,380 --> 00:33:11,380 there was so many, it just went a lot smoother. 446 00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:14,400 But I've also had really good luck 447 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,300 having amazing council chairs. 448 00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:20,160 And so, we put the data and talked about stuff, 449 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,160 and then going to that meeting and presenting, 450 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,020 they've really taken an active role in that, 451 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,660 and their responsibilities. 452 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,360 And so, but I think you can do some work 453 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,080 to talk to you about A&N communicating or saying so and it's really helpful. 454 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,040 Take my job. 455 00:33:39,580 --> 00:33:39,760 Awesome. 456 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,500 I'll be very quick to... 457 00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:43,980 Oh my goodness. 458 00:33:46,060 --> 00:33:48,440 Let's move into some other specifics. 459 00:33:48,980 --> 00:33:51,620 So as a council, you're hearing about your rules at the board procedure. 460 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,780 Actually, the document is going to guide how you conduct that council business from month to month. 461 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,520 It does outline some things like at the beginning here. 462 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:06,700 talks about civil discourse. They also cover open public meetings and what we're gonna do later on 463 00:34:06,700 --> 00:34:11,980 today's presentation is talk about open public meetings where some of those requirements are reporting 464 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:18,760 and what you need to do as councils make sure that they are up to code. But your rules are more 465 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:24,500 procedure specifically kind of outlying these eight things and these eight things are really just 466 00:34:24,500 --> 00:34:29,580 communicating how the council does its business and how the council was born. And so if you want if you 467 00:34:29,580 --> 00:34:33,040 If you wanted to join a council, your rules are going to proceed, you're going to become 468 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,920 a communication point to you and say, hey, if you want to be part of our council, this is 469 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,900 how we do it, right? 470 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:43,900 If a council member or someone who's in the public says, and I'm not really sure about council 471 00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:49,500 work and what it does, your job can actually have kind of an interesting impact on how they 472 00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:51,200 can communicate how the council does this. 473 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,280 So we do have a template on our website, so if you are looking to update that, I know you 474 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,300 you guys have that on each school website. 475 00:34:58,660 --> 00:34:59,920 So maybe as a board member, 476 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,140 that might be a good thing to look at, 477 00:35:01,340 --> 00:35:04,500 and say, put in each school website and say, 478 00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:06,860 does the schools that were on the CDR have these? 479 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,280 Reason why I bring this up to is this way here 480 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,060 where we talk about member removal of replacing members. 481 00:35:17,860 --> 00:35:20,380 In the last two weeks, I've fielded three questions 482 00:35:20,380 --> 00:35:22,420 based on those two points there. 483 00:35:22,940 --> 00:35:25,620 So as a council, it is really important to have that in place 484 00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:38,700 So if you have a member that doesn't show up, right, and they have been absent for six months, right, but you don't have that outline your rules of the procedure, doesn't mean you have to move that person, which has an effect on council. 485 00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:40,840 So just be aware of that. 486 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,600 It also should outline how to replace members. 487 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:52,940 So whether by appointment process we do have some districts that decided to do like a runoff election if you want to do that, do that as well. 488 00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:57,820 But this is really your document to show how you form a council. 489 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:06,220 There are also some other things that we suggest based on conversations that we have with principals and with parents across the state. 490 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,980 Things like how do you address public comment? 491 00:36:08,980 --> 00:36:14,460 right? How do you address agenda items? So that point about the principal and 492 00:36:14,460 --> 00:36:19,320 council chair collaboration that can be outlined in your rules of order procedure. 493 00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:24,360 One thing to keep in mind too is this could also outline how you handle electronic 494 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:30,000 meetings. It's a good reminder to say that email voting is not allowed in 495 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:36,320 program rule, but if you want to meet in a hybrid format so online plus 496 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,200 person, that could be a help line. 497 00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:44,260 And then also leaving space for you guys, there's other 498 00:36:44,260 --> 00:36:49,480 challenges that might be addressed. So if it's like that subcommittee formation, that's 499 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:56,400 something you can integrate into your rules. Another thing about this optional is Roberts 500 00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:04,020 rules of order. So motioning and seconding, that type of thing for council items.

578 00:40:57,580 --> 00:40:59,900 This year, it becomes a big topic right here. 579 00:41:03,260 --> 00:41:06,580 A couple other things with meeting minutes. 580 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,820 Those must be kept at the school on record, 581 00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:10,480 since the school is completed, 582 00:41:10,660 --> 00:41:12,260 keep those meeting minutes for three years. 583 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:18,700 Most often what we see is that schools use their agenda and just fill in the details 584 00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:20,320 and use that in the minutes. 585 00:41:20,700 --> 00:41:22,560 So don't make two separate things. 586 00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:26,760 Use one thing and kind of, you know, use it up as you can do it. 587 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:32,560 So being in minutes, we need to have all that essential information of who is attendance, 588 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,180 who is absent, and also any employee reference. 589 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:44,440 questions about meeting materials and we're going to go on there. 590 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:51,260 Okay, how about things too that kind of get lost over sometimes and we talk about meetings? 591 00:41:51,860 --> 00:41:56,520 What is to make sure that a majority must be present at the meeting to conduct businesses 592 00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,320 to part of that open and public meeting rule as part of our program? 593 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,820 So making sure that's appearing. 594 00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:08,440 And it's also making sure that a majority is required for a council to take action on meeting 595 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:08,900 items. 596 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,200 So this is a good clarification. 597 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,820 Some people say, you know, does there have to be a two-parent majority of every meeting? 598 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,900 That's not the case, right? 599 00:42:18,220 --> 00:42:21,220 Two-parent majority is just for that council member structure. 600 00:42:22,020 --> 00:42:25,220 The majority has the impressive part of the council. 601 00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:30,080 So if it's like a six-member council, here's the four people there to address her. 602 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:36,440 If you're doing a blended meeting where you're doing both online and in person, is there a 603 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,940 certain amount that that has to be there in person and how it works? 604 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:47,440 So, do you suppose that it's a hybrid format and if the person online is present, right? 605 00:42:47,660 --> 00:42:50,740 If the person in person is present, that would count towards you. 606 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,440 So, this might keep that in mind as you're moving forward. 607 00:42:55,380 --> 00:42:56,800 This also becomes an important thing. 608 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:01,660 I've had several districts talk to me about how one member has not shown up for several 609 00:43:01,660 --> 00:43:07,860 months, and that actually has prevented them from having a forum, and they can't 610 00:43:07,860 --> 00:43:08,920 vote on it anyway. 611 00:43:09,340 --> 00:43:14,040 So going back to the room for a procedure and having that removal process, that has become 612 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:14,660 really important. 613 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:20,360 So something I consider as a removal forum, as you're looking for that majority, if there 614 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:25,280 are members who are not present for a long time, make sure you have a process to remove 615 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,000 Okay. 616 00:43:28,540 --> 00:43:32,740 Other meeting considerations is really for board members. Here is making sure that 617 00:43:32,740 --> 00:43:37,720 your councils have up-to-date budget communications. That's going to become a really important 618 00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:42,100 part, especially during plan writing season. It is making sure that they have those up-to-date 619 00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:46,960 numbers. Also, throughout the year, making sure that they have, you know, those numbers 620 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,860 that show how much they're spending, because if they're an understanding, you'll want 621 00:43:51,860 --> 00:43:57,560 that information so you can put it in your amendments, so you avoid that accessory over 622 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:03,820 it. So we're going to make sure that communication is there. Another thing to keep in mind 623 00:44:03,820 --> 00:44:09,760 to you is the final report, when they are submitted on March 1st, you as a board are going 624 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:14,800 to receive a summary or a copy of those reports, but also parents at the school must receive 625 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:20,240 that report as well. That can just be done through a link on your website. It doesn't have 626 00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:21,440 That'd be a whole additional thing. 627 00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:24,240 It could just be a link to our public report's page. 628 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,280 Show the fun to the board, so. 629 00:44:26,660 --> 00:44:28,380 And so if you have questions about that department, 630 00:44:29,060 --> 00:44:31,320 talk to me and have a kind of talk through that. 631 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,600 Another way that we see districts navigate that 632 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,320 is also an email or a newsletter that shows 633 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,660 what the council's doing. 634 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,800 That's not the way you guys would trust that. 635 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,520 Yeah, all parents and the schoolers 636 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,360 and the parent members. 637 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,740 It's all parents and schoolers. 638 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:58,000 I hope that if I consider it as you are leading together frequently throughout the year, 639 00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,860 is the thing about talking about planning. 640 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:27,800 Presentation, right, having those guest speakers like teachers who are receiving funds have been talked about this method of manipulative manipulatives that you're using in those classrooms, right? Or have their reading teachers talk about that reading group? Or have a paraprofessional talk about what their experience as, you know, a person in the classroom, those conversations become a really important part of their meetings. You can also help your council make decisions as you move forward on how to use those funds later on. 641 00:45:29,300 --> 00:45:33,840 As a school board, communication, that's going to be the common thing, right? 642 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,360 Making sure you have that budget communication, communicating about initiatives. 643 00:45:38,820 --> 00:45:41,580 Maybe there's changes or things that you're seeing from the district level. 644 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,000 You should also communicate those things to your principals, make sure you're in the same 645 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:46,260 page. 646 00:45:47,740 --> 00:45:47,900 Cool. 647 00:45:48,940 --> 00:45:49,100 All right. 648 00:45:50,140 --> 00:45:56,740 A couple things, as a school board member, you do have the ability to kind of help your 649 00:45:56,740 --> 00:46:00,980 Councils make sure that they have everything in place and so one thing that you 650 00:46:00,980 --> 00:46:05,580 could potentially consider using as a compliance monitoring system, we're 651 00:46:05,580 --> 00:46:10,700 doing sample selection instead of looking at each school individually. So this 652 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,960 system does not replace, you know, your procedures for your plans, but this could 653 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,000 be a way in which you look at school websites, it could be a way in which you 654 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,500 look at rules of order procedure, it also be a way that you look at Council 655 00:46:23,260 --> 00:46:26,040 So having a sample selection might be an effective way. 656 00:46:26,580 --> 00:46:30,180 And so one way that it could be done is making sure that, you know, 657 00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:32,820 maybe not all your school are being checked for rules of work procedure. 658 00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:34,480 And maybe a few of them are. 659 00:46:35,340 --> 00:46:38,440 And you can use that sample size to identify and look at it. 660 00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:42,840 If there's problems in these schools, then we should probably look at the other ones 661 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,900 and make an assessment on, you know, are there rules of work procedure 662 00:46:45,900 --> 00:46:48,020 or are there other requirements that are beneficial? 663 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,420 These are minimum sample size. 664 00:46:51,580 --> 00:47:02,240 So the general rule is really, you know, that's really up to you as a board, right, what you're most comfortable with, being a smaller five schools, right? 665 00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:06,820 Yeah, five schools, five members, we were okay with, yeah. 666 00:47:06,980 --> 00:47:09,660 So that might be, you know, that kind of answer, you know? 667 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:12,840 Yeah, yeah. 668 00:47:13,180 --> 00:47:14,340 I was just trying to talk to you. 669 00:47:14,340 --> 00:47:14,820 Yeah, yeah. 670 00:47:14,820 --> 00:47:17,960 I would say we'll just check it with a little bit. 671 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,000 I was going to leave it at this. 672 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,680 A couple things is one important thing 673 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,620 is once you have identified that risk, 674 00:47:25,100 --> 00:47:26,040 make sure you act on it. 675 00:47:26,220 --> 00:47:30,020 So if you do see that maybe there's rules of our procedure 676 00:47:30,020 --> 00:47:31,460 that are not in compliance, 677 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,000 making sure you communicate that to the principles, 678 00:47:34,460 --> 00:47:36,600 but also making sure you're providing those resources 679 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,740 so that becomes a communication with me 680 00:47:38,740 --> 00:47:42,620 So if I get an email from Andy saying, hey, we need support in this 681 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:48,500 Then the process is doing its work, right? Compliance moderation be really about like 682 00:47:49,140 --> 00:47:51,720 Ha ha gotcha, but that's not what we're trying to intend here 683 00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:54,420 It's just are we operating the way that we should be? 684 00:47:58,920 --> 00:47:59,580 Questions about 685 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,200 What last couple of minutes, Chair, do you want to cover up the big cornerstone of the program? 686 00:48:09,380 --> 00:48:14,080 You as a council will be discussing all those different initiatives at your council meetings. 687 00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:17,600 But really a big chunk of your work is going to be that data review. 688 00:48:18,420 --> 00:48:25,140 And also that conversation about how are we going to use school and trust funds to support classroom instruction here. 689 00:48:26,260 --> 00:48:31,100 So, a couple of things I kind of consider as you go through the development process, one is 690 00:48:31,100 --> 00:48:36,500 making sure that it's always there on data and making sure that you're asking your teachers, 691 00:48:36,740 --> 00:48:40,820 you're asking your department leads for that data that's available to them. 692 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,380 You're also using that data to identify the greatest academic needs. 693 00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:49,380 And you're also using district initiatives from your school members to make that 694 00:48:51,100 --> 00:48:56,260 And once you identify those act of the case, you're going to create goals that really 695 00:48:56,260 --> 00:48:59,300 have your question, where do you want your students to be, and what act of the year? 696 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,920 And then ultimately making decisions on what supports are going to be. 697 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:08,380 And so the reason why I put this kind of fourth part process up here is because one, 698 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:13,080 if you've got on the council for one or not, you know that sometimes the conversation starts with, 699 00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:17,760 oh, I heard about this cool new thing in education, we should put it in our schools, right? 700 00:49:18,220 --> 00:49:23,620 And so, really suffering in your conversation on the data becomes a really important part because 701 00:49:23,620 --> 00:49:25,360 never wanted that cool new thing. 702 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,720 This might not actually be the most effective thing that's going to trust you. 703 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,920 So, that's really up to you as a counsel. 704 00:49:33,140 --> 00:49:35,820 That's why you vote as a counsel, but that's why you also have this discussion. 705 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,740 So, some of you can consider, as you're putting, or as you're meeting throughout the year, 706 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:42,940 what data should counsels use? 707 00:49:42,940 --> 00:49:47,760 One, it should be a really tight and specific academic area, 708 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,220 which should also show measurable success, 709 00:49:50,540 --> 00:49:53,280 so there should be really data oriented and show progress. 710 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,820 This could be a summative reporting assessment. 711 00:49:56,420 --> 00:49:58,520 It can also be data trends over time. 712 00:49:58,780 --> 00:50:01,960 So if you don't have that current data available, 713 00:50:02,180 --> 00:50:04,140 so like last year's drive school anyway, 714 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,200 our program has no problem with you guys using trends from last year 715 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,840 or the year before to make those decisions there. 716 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:18,220 So, you as a principal, you as a council share, you can get creative, and how you look at data, and use that kind of for a great discussion. 717 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:25,720 Is it often that you see in these community councils that they focus on more than one academic area at this time? 718 00:50:25,900 --> 00:50:29,200 Or does it usually the like focus solely on one academic area? 719 00:50:30,420 --> 00:50:33,360 What do you guys are going to see at your school? 720 00:50:33,540 --> 00:50:35,660 Do you guys are using focus on one goal? 721 00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:53,920 So I think it really is up to the council itself to see some schools kind of target just one thing, but also there's no cap of how many goals you can have. 722 00:50:55,060 --> 00:51:02,500 This is kind of a tangent to that. The other thing I've observed is the dollar amounts they're going to this program was dramatically higher than they were ten years ago. 723 00:51:03,100 --> 00:51:08,520 And this was 10 years ago, it was like, oh, we could buy a few supplies with this, right? 724 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,840 And that was like, we could hire multiple teachers. 725 00:51:11,740 --> 00:51:16,720 Right, so the scale of what trust lens can do is very different than it was. 726 00:51:16,980 --> 00:51:20,860 And so that allows the councils to do different things with it. 727 00:51:21,060 --> 00:51:26,560 And it just has to be careful with staffing, because you know, when you hire someone, 728 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,380 you can commit to that person for a long period. 729 00:51:30,380 --> 00:51:32,400 Have we ever seen the trust funds go down? 730 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,200 Not that I don't think they have. 731 00:51:37,980 --> 00:51:38,860 Not that they could. 732 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,300 You know, if there was a stock market practice, 733 00:51:42,340 --> 00:51:43,880 it's not all real estate now that you know. 734 00:51:45,060 --> 00:51:46,520 And that's something they're talking about. 735 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:51,580 There was a consideration for your council. 736 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,760 And also just on the note of salaries, 737 00:51:54,380 --> 00:51:56,660 making sure that the person who's employed 738 00:51:56,660 --> 00:51:58,880 through trust funds also communicated 739 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,140 to get up there to solve your country problems. 740 00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:04,580 That's one of the things that you can do as you move. 741 00:52:05,500 --> 00:52:07,980 A couple of things, and this is really 742 00:52:07,980 --> 00:52:10,080 just for when you start writing your plans, 743 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,200 but each part of the plan is really 744 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,520 an important part of communicating what you want 745 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,760 your students to achieve in one academic year, 746 00:52:16,820 --> 00:52:18,620 but also what things are in a good place. 747 00:52:19,100 --> 00:52:21,100 So use a counselor when I identify 748 00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:23,000 those different academic areas. 749 00:52:23,820 --> 00:52:26,000 We do have priority areas like math, 750 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,980 at ULA science, graduation rates, and college preparedness, 751 00:52:29,380 --> 00:52:32,300 those last two being available to your secondary schools. 752 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,480 But you also have other secondary areas 753 00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:39,000 that can be addressed through your trust management. 754 00:52:39,420 --> 00:52:41,880 And those things like CTE, things like health, 755 00:52:42,220 --> 00:52:44,280 or things like reading and social studies, 756 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,160 looking for those can also be addressed 757 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,880 through your funding of that secondary campus. 758 00:52:50,740 --> 00:52:55,280 If you need extra supports on that topic of academic area 759 00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:00,340 We do have a guide there that kind of outlines, you know, the different academic areas and 760 00:53:00,340 --> 00:53:07,840 also some tips on how you can formulate those goals to fit program partners. 761 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:14,120 As a counsel, you are going to be creating goals after you identify those academic areas. 762 00:53:14,580 --> 00:53:17,480 If you're really what you're doing, it's going to be a question of what are the things that 763 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,000 we want our students to achieve in one half. 764 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:24,820 I'm here, principals were getting more communication about this, but I just want to make a note about it. 765 00:53:25,260 --> 00:53:28,660 When we do a goal statement, it's making sure you have these four major parts. 766 00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:34,460 What is your academic area? So what are you addressing? Also, what specific student population? 767 00:53:34,780 --> 00:53:41,740 So there's one of the all students, is it eighth grade students, that's seven grade students, identifying the achievement bench work, 768 00:53:41,940 --> 00:53:46,500 right, so 75% students are going to shape this pool. You should have an expected outcome. 769 00:53:46,500 --> 00:53:49,220 You should also have an assessment tool. 770 00:53:49,420 --> 00:53:51,460 So what's going to be used to measure that pool there? 771 00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:55,420 We do have a resource on our page that 772 00:53:55,420 --> 00:53:58,900 has one this formula, but also example goals. 773 00:53:59,240 --> 00:54:02,060 I've also updated a website to have example plans. 774 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,120 So you use an elementary school teacher, 775 00:54:04,580 --> 00:54:06,360 or a high school teacher, or a school 776 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,840 kind of principal, have that example plan for all of the pool. 777 00:54:12,220 --> 00:54:14,400 Those five minutes ran by a very cool. 778 00:54:16,500 --> 00:54:29,500 In terms of measurements, what can I keep in mind is making sure that the measurement is tied to that academic area, so if you're measuring reading literacy, make sure that measurement is actually tied to it. 779 00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:38,600 One of the common reasons why I might say the planned back from other districts is one, there's a mismatch between the academic area measurement. 780 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,000 This is something that I keep in mind as you're writing. 781 00:54:44,260 --> 00:54:46,940 One thing I do want to highlight is this. 782 00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:50,020 This is one of the number one questions I get in trainings. 783 00:54:50,260 --> 00:54:51,000 There's a bunch of allowable. 784 00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:54,720 And I usually put my beginning statement up here 785 00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:56,620 so I think it helps God that conversation. 786 00:54:57,020 --> 00:54:57,840 It says a principle. 787 00:54:58,160 --> 00:54:59,060 You can use this. 788 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,380 Kind of got the conversation on what we're going to use the funds for. 789 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,680 By asking does it enhance classroom instruction? 790 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,080 and does it actually have a direct impact on high number two? 791 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,420 I'm going to answer yes to both of those. 792 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,980 That's probably not a lot of works but it's great. 793 00:55:14,260 --> 00:55:18,360 So these things, like you can use trust funds 794 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:22,420 towards addressing attendance issues as long as it's tied to an academic area, 795 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,060 folks in technology supplies, we're talking about salaries and benefits. 796 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,960 All of those things are easy connections back to an academic area 797 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,600 of professional instruction, whereas things like these 798 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:41,460 building construction, or office accreditation, or facility costs, those things are harder 799 00:55:41,460 --> 00:55:44,120 to tie it to a fashion instruction. 800 00:55:44,980 --> 00:55:49,920 One thing that I like to, or these two areas, these are actually both updates and programs 801 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:50,340 rule. 802 00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:54,540 So, I'm thinking as a board member to kind of keep in mind, is that there are policy updates 803 00:55:54,540 --> 00:55:58,540 and definitions for food as well as furniture, and so we just want to make sure that that's 804 00:55:58,540 --> 00:56:02,780 on your radar as well as you are addressing the improvement of those plants. 805 00:56:08,410 --> 00:56:14,070 a couple of things to one update that happened last year and you want to highlight for this 806 00:56:14,070 --> 00:56:19,530 year too is your student incentives limit has gone up $2 per student per plan to $4 per 807 00:56:19,530 --> 00:56:27,890 student per plan.
