1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,220
Welcome to our first school board meeting of the new school year. And as a reminder, we acknowledge

2
00:00:09,220 --> 00:00:16,140
that the ordinance located on the traditional land of the great Salt Lake Free Mount Northern

3
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:27,360
Shoshone and Goshu tribes. And we will now invite our new this month school board representative

4
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,960
our student rep, J. Sean, to lead us in the pletiful legions.

5
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:38,120
A pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic

6
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:44,980
for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

7
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:49,060
Thank you.

8
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:56,330
We will jump right into celebration.

9
00:01:03,930 --> 00:01:10,370
I have been looking forward to this actually since last spring, when Katie received this award.

10
00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:15,970
But before we jump into it, I'll turn it over for Katie to have a few words for you.

11
00:01:16,570 --> 00:01:18,190
I just want to take you back to 2014.

12
00:01:18,190 --> 00:01:26,250
We have the clarity of hindsight, an exceptional teacher made what we now know an excellent

13
00:01:26,250 --> 00:01:26,750
decision.

14
00:01:27,610 --> 00:01:28,510
She chose Oggin.

15
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:31,290
More specifically, she chose Oggin High.

16
00:01:31,870 --> 00:01:36,390
She came to us as she taught Latinos in action, Avid, and U.S. history.

17
00:01:37,250 --> 00:01:42,630
2016-17, that teacher, Katie Scott, was recognized as our teacher of the year in our district.

18
00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:50,710
That point, she transitioned her exceptional skills to an instructional coach, serving

19
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:55,890
under then-principle Rasmussen at Audien High School for two years and proved herself

20
00:01:55,890 --> 00:02:00,290
as capable as a coach, that continuous pursuit of excellence.

21
00:02:01,310 --> 00:02:07,350
Following that, I had the sagacity to hire Katie as a district specialist, and that's the

22
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:11,410
point where she joined our team as our avid and college and career readiness specialist.

23
00:02:11,410 --> 00:02:14,210
and has served us now, you're in your eight years,

24
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:16,130
so she's completed seven years in that position.

25
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:18,630
And the reason I want to say that is,

26
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:20,870
at any point in those stages,

27
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:22,870
you could look at someone who is at the peak

28
00:02:22,870 --> 00:02:25,570
of their position, the peak of their professionalism,

29
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:29,450
and say that she could have just put it in cruise control

30
00:02:30,010 --> 00:02:31,250
and still been wonderful.

31
00:02:32,190 --> 00:02:34,570
But that is not what Katie is about.

32
00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:37,390
And I think for that, she embodies what Ogden is all about.

33
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:41,070
Every time she finds success, she turns her attention

34
00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:43,370
to say, what else could we be doing?

35
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:45,310
We're not doing enough yet here.

36
00:02:45,850 --> 00:02:47,170
How else could we be successful?

37
00:02:47,850 --> 00:02:50,410
And it's not about her, it is about her commitment

38
00:02:50,410 --> 00:02:53,010
to our teachers, our administrators, and our students.

39
00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:58,830
She exemplifies a servant leadership in that regard.

40
00:02:59,670 --> 00:03:02,070
So it is not a surprise, but we don't

41
00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:04,430
want to diminish the reward here.

42
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:07,130
It's not a surprise that she is recognized now

43
00:03:07,130 --> 00:03:08,830
by the United Way of Northern Utah

44
00:03:09,410 --> 00:03:14,150
as the education partner of the year for her work with Abbott and coordination with

45
00:03:14,150 --> 00:03:21,130
Reaper State. And so with that, I could go on and on and celebrate what Katie is and

46
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:25,390
who she is and how integral she is to our district. But I'd like to turn it over to her

47
00:03:25,390 --> 00:03:32,190
to describe the reason behind this award and what it means to unite it way and what it

48
00:03:32,190 --> 00:03:34,250
That means for our district, so with that, Katie Scott.

49
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:35,770
This

50
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:41,500
is very heavy, so I'm going to hopefully not drop it.

51
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:46,840
Okay, so thank you, Adam, and I do want to thank Luke,

52
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,960
because he gave me lots of opportunities as his principal or as my principal.

53
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:59,780
And coming to Ogden, I had taught or worked in three other school districts prior to coming to Ogden.

54
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,620
And I'm going to stay here.

55
00:04:02,620 --> 00:04:07,540
It's an amazing culture, I love it here, I love all the teachers I work with, my husband

56
00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:12,440
works here now, it's great, so my son goes to Pulk, we love it here.

57
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:20,300
So like Adam said, I'm the avid teacher specialist, college career readiness, if you're

58
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:25,260
not super familiar with the program, it started as an elective class in the secondary schools

59
00:04:25,260 --> 00:04:31,740
for students, generally speaking, that our first generation college bound, but every student

60
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:39,020
that wants to apply and would like to be in the class is considered and part of the course

61
00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:43,080
and I have an avid student student sitting next behind me and she might giggle a little

62
00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:50,360
is we do a small group study groups called Tutorials and they're pretty intense for kids when

63
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,080
they first start to learn how to do them because we're not going to give you the answer and

64
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,340
they have to work through it. Those are facilitated by tutors.

65
00:04:58,340 --> 00:05:05,980
And after the 2019-2020 school year, as you can imagine, we didn't get very many college

66
00:05:05,980 --> 00:05:08,060
age tutors coming into our schools.

67
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,080
So we saw a need for that, and at the time Ogden can help us out.

68
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:20,260
We partnered with our CTE department to provide internships for our current upper-class

69
00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:23,660
avid students to come down to our junior highs and tutor.

70
00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:31,600
and we started with seven students in that 21-22 school year and it just kind

71
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,820
of took off. The kids were phenomenal with each other. They had such a great

72
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:42,940
experience. Now with United Way's support we're partnering with Weber State

73
00:05:42,940 --> 00:05:47,580
bringing professors in to talk to those interns about becoming educators. We

74
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:53,240
currently, and I wrote it down, we currently have six former interns working as

75
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,300
parapro's in our district. One, I just got a reference check for so hopefully it will

76
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:02,720
be seven. And then we have ten in total in the state that I know of that are working

77
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:10,540
in schools because two years ago, Heather Gerard in the CTE department, okay, paying a small

78
00:06:10,540 --> 00:06:16,060
scholarship to the students when they finish their internship to take the parapro exam. One

79
00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:22,260
of those lovely ladies is actually in our Grow Your Own Program. So with United Ways

80
00:06:22,260 --> 00:06:26,240
help we've been able to expand this program, not just to our junior high, but now our

81
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,420
avid elementaries have some of our interns working in them, as well as supporting

82
00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:36,080
third and fifth grades, which is really fun. Then we've had really great success not only with

83
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,720
the students that they're working with, they have a higher attendance rate, but just our interns

84
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,440
in general, if they weren't super interested in education, they just kind of wanted to volunteer

85
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:52,920
work. A lot of them are coming back saying, actually, maybe I really do like this job. So it's

86
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,920
really great right now. We're able to pay 12 of them, but we had over 40 applicants and some

87
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:06,560
of them were more than happy to be unpaid in their positions and get the CTE credit and some

88
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,100
of them have stayed with us two years and we just changed their placement every year. And it's

89
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:14,080
been really, really fantastic. If you ever get a chance and you want to meet some of our interns,

90
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,980
you should go in and watch them work with their students, so thank you.

91
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:28,580
And I just wanted to add Katie, like you, I mean Adam said everything but you truly are an exceptional educator

92
00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:33,520
and played like having you when I first came to Oregon was a blessing, you know what I mean?

93
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,780
So just it's about time we got you up here again for something because you truly do

94
00:07:38,780 --> 00:07:42,260
to make a difference in everything that you do and it's very appreciated.

95
00:07:42,260 --> 00:07:46,580
So lucky to have the Scott family, you know, in our district and Katie, you're amazing.

96
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:47,440
So thank you.

97
00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:57,350
So this is too bad, because normally when we have celebrations, the room is full.

98
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:01,020
We'll get the word out.

99
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,480
Now I need to turn some time over to our student school board reps.

100
00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:12,320
What do I say?

101
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:12,760
Do I just?

102
00:08:16,780 --> 00:08:27,220
I report that this, this, Dishon, just introduce yourself and where you're from, you're

103
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:27,480
good.

104
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,280
But this is too advanced for me.

105
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:34,660
If it's red, you're on, you're good, you don't need to hold it, because you're finished

106
00:08:34,660 --> 00:08:34,780
to finish.

107
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:35,860
Oh okay, perfect.

108
00:08:36,420 --> 00:08:42,400
I feel like I'm talking to my secretary, I have someone in the front, she's calling me, but

109
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:48,160
Yes, my name is J. Sean D. Arty and I'm more than I can express how excited I am to

110
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:54,200
be a part of this. I forget what I want I'm in right now. Oh my goodness. Student board,

111
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:01,140
yes. I'm excited to be a part of this school. My apologies. It's horrible. Oh my goodness.

112
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:05,000
I really should get my secretary. But being a part of this student board, I'm more than

113
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,440
excited, especially where I did come from being in Las Vegas and that school system, it's

114
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:17,340
not. I don't know how to put it kindly, but it's not the best. So I'm excited to be a part of a place

115
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:23,720
that's forward for the student education. I think that's the best way I can put it. Thank you,

116
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:23,920
guys.

117
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:36,120
Can I just add that Jason, he has this incredible energy and he is a fashionista. So super excited

118
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,740
to see your wardrobe moving forward but

119
00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:48,130
the up it's just come on up and

120
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:59,850
it's delicious yeah okay you're stuck there okay I'm Jasmine I do have a

121
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:03,770
report of what has been happening at Ogden High I've been going to we had our

122
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:08,450
first football game against Bear River that went well the community in the

123
00:10:08,450 --> 00:10:13,130
students were very happy about having our first game. We also had a back to

124
00:10:13,130 --> 00:10:17,290
school night at Ogden High. A bunch we were state showed up, a bunch of resources

125
00:10:17,290 --> 00:10:21,570
showed up for people who need a little more extra help to be successful in

126
00:10:21,570 --> 00:10:25,950
life and that was very welcoming. The food was great. My family definitely had a lot

127
00:10:25,950 --> 00:10:30,790
of fun and a lot of my peers had fun. I'm just very excited to be able to give back

128
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:36,030
to my my district and be able to be a part of it and just have more

129
00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:41,710
involvement with my peers in my school. And I thank you guys for this opportunity.

130
00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:47,710
We're really happy to have you. Thank you. Hi,

131
00:10:50,810 --> 00:10:53,090
I'm my Ericsson. I'm also from

132
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:58,990
Ardenhaya as well as Jasmine. She kind of covered mostly what our school has been doing so I don't

133
00:10:58,990 --> 00:11:04,770
really have anything to report on that but I will be working especially with with the school board

134
00:11:04,770 --> 00:11:10,330
as well. I'm very happy this opportunity. It's been so cool and I feel like I'm learning so much and

135
00:11:10,330 --> 00:11:14,530
And it's really preparing me to go out and, you know, make a difference in the community.

136
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:29,740
Okay, so we do have one person signed up for public participation, Lexi Cunningham.

137
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:31,760
You can introduce yourself.

138
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,040
President Wilson, Vice President Anderson, members of the board, Superintendent Rasmussen.

139
00:11:37,540 --> 00:11:40,680
Good evening, and thank you for allowing me to be here.

140
00:11:41,180 --> 00:11:44,780
I'm Lexi Cunningham, and I'm the Executive Director of the Utah School Superintendent's

141
00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:50,460
Association and I want to bring greetings from our Association and our officers and thank

142
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:55,220
you for your leadership and your commitment to students to schools to teachers and most

143
00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:59,940
especially to the the Ogden community. There are so many wonderful things going on up here

144
00:11:59,940 --> 00:12:07,860
and in Ogden. I am here because during our summer conference we recognize our superintendents

145
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:13,820
as an organization after every after a superintendents first year we have a USSA challenge

146
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:24,300
that we give that superintendent, and then we recognize other superintendents for 5, 10, 15, and 20-year service to the state of Utah as a superintendent.

147
00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:31,200
And until this year, we had three superintendents with over 20 years of experience, and now we only have one.

148
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,820
So we do have superintendents that serve quite a few years.

149
00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:42,440
And I'm here to recognize Superintendent Rasmussen and give him his five-year pin.

150
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,920
He was not able to join us this summer and Thursday night because he had a board meeting and you were doing your budget.

151
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,020
So he had to come down here.

152
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:54,540
We are just so thankful to have Superintendent Rasmussen as part of our association.

153
00:12:54,980 --> 00:13:04,100
He serves as our UHS, UHSAA representative and has done a phenomenal job with that and keeping all of the districts informed.

154
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:11,260
He also has helped with our literacy implementation and has shared some of the great work going on up here in Ogden.

155
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:18,900
This year he agreed to mentor one of our new superintendents and help them have a good start to their superintendency.

156
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:26,100
He's one of those superintendents who always says yes when we need something or we ask for help.

157
00:13:26,420 --> 00:13:31,140
We get a yes out of superintendents respison before we even finish asking what we need to do.

158
00:13:31,140 --> 00:13:36,320
So he represents you so well in your students and your teachers.

159
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:41,100
And while we are thankful to have him as part of our association, I know that you are

160
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,600
thrilled to have him as a superintendent.

161
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,280
So I would just like to present him with his five-year UHSAA pen.

162
00:13:58,350 --> 00:13:59,970
And it matches what you're wearing.

163
00:14:00,530 --> 00:14:01,170
You can move along.

164
00:14:01,590 --> 00:14:02,010
Thank you.

165
00:14:02,190 --> 00:14:02,870
You're so welcome.

166
00:14:02,890 --> 00:14:03,130
Thank you.

167
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:05,670
I want one.

168
00:14:07,510 --> 00:14:14,110
So, if you're mentoring another superintendent, does that make you a super superintendent?

169
00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:16,290
Okay,

170
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:28,460
so now moving on to the consent calendar, I know there were a couple of questions, I believe

171
00:14:28,460 --> 00:14:32,640
those were addressed like on the travel dates.

172
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:38,900
Okay, so we do need a motion to approve the consent.

173
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,780
Am I able to make an amendment?

174
00:14:43,220 --> 00:14:50,480
So I would like to make an amendment that we remove financial reports from the consent

175
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:57,880
calendar as I don't know many of us may not have read through it because it was recently posted.

176
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,760
so I'd like to give us time.

177
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:28,780
To be able to review it and then bring it to the next board meeting. Okay. So motion has been made by Vice President Anderson. Is there a second? I'll second that motion. Second by Board Member Bernal. All in favor. I forget to mention that Board Member Sondal is joining us online.

178
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:29,820
Now,

179
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:41,620
we'll turn time over to our business administrator to discuss the solar panels at

180
00:15:41,620 --> 00:15:42,000
Hillcrest.

181
00:15:45,530 --> 00:15:46,990
I cannot hear him.

182
00:15:49,070 --> 00:15:49,910
My mic is off.

183
00:15:50,990 --> 00:15:51,910
How does that help?

184
00:15:52,950 --> 00:15:53,650
Sorry, Jen.

185
00:15:54,350 --> 00:15:54,770
Much better.

186
00:15:54,890 --> 00:15:55,290
Thank you.

187
00:15:57,870 --> 00:16:05,590
So, just to give you an idea, I talked to Darwin Smith, our energy manager, about this

188
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:12,390
a little bit before the meeting so I could have a little bit of information, but so Easter

189
00:16:12,390 --> 00:16:18,950
is elementary, for instance, where we've had solar panels for a while. We were able

190
00:16:18,950 --> 00:16:28,110
to keep that building cool through the summer for like $1,500 a month. By contrast, if you

191
00:16:28,110 --> 00:16:32,030
go to, like, New Bridge, similar size school.

192
00:16:32,670 --> 00:16:34,590
It's like $6,000 a month.

193
00:16:36,670 --> 00:16:40,870
And so we have the same experience

194
00:16:40,870 --> 00:16:45,210
with the Ben-Lomond Athletic Center and the schools on which

195
00:16:45,210 --> 00:16:46,730
we have these solar panels.

196
00:16:47,850 --> 00:16:53,290
It costs a lot of money, but it is a very energy-efficient way

197
00:16:53,290 --> 00:16:54,050
of doing business.

198
00:16:54,050 --> 00:16:56,850
And so that's what the proposal is.

199
00:16:59,090 --> 00:17:03,770
There was some confusion, I believe, in the synopsis

200
00:17:03,770 --> 00:17:09,330
because there was some mention about covering the cost

201
00:17:09,330 --> 00:17:16,810
of doing bullet proof film on the schools.

202
00:17:17,930 --> 00:17:20,830
The plan is that we will use part of that savings

203
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:23,750
to do that, but that's not part of this request.

204
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:34,510
this request only has to do with the solar panels. When I spoke today with Mitch about

205
00:17:36,130 --> 00:17:44,290
what Mitch was, Jared, I talked to you about it. So we're getting bids for the film.

206
00:17:44,610 --> 00:17:49,890
The film is required to understate law, but they've tweaked a lot a little bit, so we're

207
00:17:49,890 --> 00:17:55,550
We're not going to need as much as we thought we would, but at some point we'll be bringing

208
00:17:55,550 --> 00:18:06,310
to you a proposal to approve purchasing the film that we need to put on Hillcrest to

209
00:18:06,310 --> 00:18:10,970
meet the law and the requirements under the law.

210
00:18:11,850 --> 00:18:19,090
I expect it's going to cost more than $100,000, so you guys will be giving an opportunity

211
00:18:19,090 --> 00:18:21,350
and to approve that, when that time comes.

212
00:18:22,230 --> 00:18:24,970
Initially, the bid was like $400,000

213
00:18:25,490 --> 00:18:30,470
to do that school along the tweaking of the law,

214
00:18:30,730 --> 00:18:33,650
cut back on what it was required to be put on.

215
00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:40,650
And so it'll probably be around $200,000 maybe even less.

216
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:45,490
But we'll keep you in the loop on that.

217
00:18:45,630 --> 00:18:47,890
But I wanted to clarify, you're not

218
00:18:47,890 --> 00:18:56,390
approving that film as part of this approval tonight for the solar panels. So, it's just

219
00:18:56,390 --> 00:19:01,390
the authorizations that are forward with the solar panel purchase.

220
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,580
Any questions? I have a question.

221
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:13,480
Go ahead. I do have a question. What about the maintenance for the solar panels? Does that cost

222
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:18,220
So we haven't had to replace any of it really so

223
00:19:19,420 --> 00:19:25,520
And they're designing them now such that they're a lot more

224
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,280
Effect you know, they got a longer life and

225
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:32,200
We'll see how that goes

226
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,460
That was my question. Okay, John

227
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,520
Miners is that $4,500 savings approximately you think per month that we'll have that's in the summer peak time

228
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,920
What's our energy bill like in the winter time and how much savings are there?

229
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:51,000
I get to tell you off the top of my head, we can get you that information.

230
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,020
Like how long of return on investment is it do you have somebody doing that?

231
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,320
Seven years, ten years?

232
00:19:56,700 --> 00:19:59,620
No, it's probably close sort of 15.

233
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:00,520
Okay.

234
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,600
Before our expenditures gets made up by that.

235
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,720
But they should last 25 years.

236
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:08,520
They should.

237
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:23,560
My understanding of that is that it's like that 25-30-year period when you have to start replacing some of the solar panels but they have a pretty good life of 25-30 years when I actually sat with Darwin on a project he was looking at one time and that's what it was.

238
00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:27,260
They should pay for itself in about 15 years then we think.

239
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:39,200
Thank you for the clarity because I was confused regarding the differences, but I still have

240
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:39,780
a question.

241
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,900
If we are under 2.5 million, what is the cost for these sellers and then because I don't

242
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:47,320
think it's 2.5 million, right?

243
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,600
Or what do I think?

244
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,940
That's part of the back.

245
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:51,240
OK.

246
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:52,620
But what are we doing with remaining?

247
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:54,180
Is it going to go to the.

248
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,340
Please are a capital budget.

249
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:55,800
OK.

250
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,720
Well, we'll probably be using some of that for this facility over there.

251
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,620
Okay, just want to make sure I'm clear.

252
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:04,300
Yeah.

253
00:21:04,580 --> 00:21:04,860
Thank you.

254
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,880
Any other questions?

255
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:10,420
I do have one.

256
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,180
Because I have solar panels at home.

257
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,520
And I'm nagged constantly from companies to buy the backup batteries.

258
00:21:21,020 --> 00:21:22,980
Does this, is this included?

259
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:30,220
That's a great question and I just don't know anything about the technical side of that to be able to answer.

260
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:34,480
Yeah.

261
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:37,940
Yeah, they're not cheap.

262
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,840
So we do need an approval for the purchase of the Hellcrest solar panels.

263
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,520
Do I have a motion?

264
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,740
I'll make a motion to approve the purchase of the solar panels for the 278,892 net amount.

265
00:21:54,360 --> 00:22:00,800
Okay, so we have a motion by Board Member Page of Send, second by Vice President Anderson

266
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,100
all in favor.

267
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:02,640
Aye.

268
00:22:03,540 --> 00:22:04,140
Any opposed?

269
00:22:04,940 --> 00:22:13,400
So just for clarification, so the bid is 464, we think we'll give a 40% credit against

270
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:13,680
that.

271
00:22:15,340 --> 00:22:15,940
So,

272
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,380
who's starting off on the contracts, Zane?

273
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:27,680
He's about to keep talking.

274
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,120
So,

275
00:22:35,140 --> 00:22:36,240
it's pretty straightforward.

276
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:40,660
So, my, we're kind of behind the eight balls,

277
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,560
as far as our cycles go.

278
00:22:42,860 --> 00:22:46,840
So, my contract technically was up,

279
00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:50,980
it's effective through March 30th of every year.

280
00:22:50,980 --> 00:22:59,240
So, with the superintendents and my contract this year, our increase is what the rest of

281
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:09,560
the administrators got, which is basically the staff, like $1,250 or 75 whatever that was.

282
00:23:10,060 --> 00:23:12,940
So that's how it changed in the gross contract.

283
00:23:12,940 --> 00:23:24,480
With mine, and we talked about this before, my contract included a $600 a month travel allowance.

284
00:23:28,060 --> 00:23:34,300
And when I talked to you before, I'd ask to, I'd be able to just roll that in as part

285
00:23:34,300 --> 00:23:38,140
of my base salary instead of separate as a travel allowance.

286
00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:47,620
and so my contract includes that as well those were the only really the only

287
00:23:47,620 --> 00:23:52,760
changes to my contract and I think super antenna you got your shares if you

288
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:58,000
like that mine's exactly the same just the five additional vacation days with

289
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,680
flexibility when I can turn those in

290
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,960
okay and are you using a fleet vehicle now

291
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:12,340
We have one that we use it, yeah, it's not like my personal.

292
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,740
Right, right, yeah.

293
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:15,860
So we actually bought two.

294
00:24:18,910 --> 00:24:22,970
We have one, we have to check them out through Nolita.

295
00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:24,730
She's like a real man.

296
00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:26,770
I watch dog when it comes to that.

297
00:24:26,850 --> 00:24:27,390
And your price.

298
00:24:32,150 --> 00:24:36,470
So that makes it available to other district administrators if they need to travel.

299
00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:40,810
So, I think it's working out okay, isn't it?

300
00:24:42,490 --> 00:24:45,130
Yeah, and I used it today for my permit.

301
00:24:47,660 --> 00:24:52,320
So, you know, just to be transparent.

302
00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:58,380
So, you know, I'm running for the state legislature.

303
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,820
And my intention is to keep working through that.

304
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:05,200
I don't know how that's going to work.

305
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:12,200
work. I mean, I want to do it after the first year. I mean, I may not feel like I don't

306
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:19,250
want a short change in the Oregon school district. So I'm just going to play that by

307
00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:23,790
year and we'll see how it goes. I've got to get elected first. And then we'll see how

308
00:25:23,790 --> 00:25:30,390
the first session goes. But my plan is to keep working like that, set through this new

309
00:25:30,390 --> 00:25:36,690
contract at least. I just want to say that I appreciate your consideration with

310
00:25:36,690 --> 00:25:41,910
that being said is it okay to make a motion I would like to make a motion to

311
00:25:41,910 --> 00:25:46,330
approve the business administrator and superintendent contracts for 2026 through

312
00:25:46,330 --> 00:25:52,630
2028. Okay so we have a motion from Board Member Nundley and they'll second

313
00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:56,910
from the board member, all read, all in favor.

314
00:25:57,470 --> 00:25:57,630
Hi.

315
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,500
That I hear, yes.

316
00:26:10,110 --> 00:26:11,670
How do you vote on that, Jan?

317
00:26:11,850 --> 00:26:12,250
Did you hear?

318
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,220
Oh, yes.

319
00:26:16,540 --> 00:26:17,860
I, I, I trained in.

320
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,920
I said, I.

321
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:19,620
Okay.

322
00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:20,060
Okay.

323
00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:20,660
Thank you.

324
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,900
Now we'll turn the time over to the superintendent for his report.

325
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:27,740
Yeah.

326
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:29,380
I have some on the consent calendar.

327
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,360
We had an exciting move.

328
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:38,450
So I'm going to invite Jennifer Galtierra, so and I want to thank the board because this was kind of a unique

329
00:26:39,590 --> 00:26:49,170
Higher it kind of a crunch time and you you all allows some flexibility with getting Jen going because school is going and and she's she's done a great job already

330
00:26:49,170 --> 00:26:53,530
So Jennifer Jen's a cool story when you look at her when you look at her resume. She

331
00:26:54,210 --> 00:26:56,790
Started out as a classroom staff assistant at now

332
00:26:57,690 --> 00:27:01,730
2014-15. She was in a community liaison at Maylon at Maylon's peak

333
00:27:01,730 --> 00:27:06,950
high school. She was then a counselor at Maryland's peak high school and she's kind of been really

334
00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:11,590
involved in leadership over there as a counselor. I mean she's very much a part of the admin team and

335
00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:17,710
got a lot of real quality experience kind of leading that facility really. I mean hand in hand with Ed

336
00:27:17,710 --> 00:27:21,910
over there and some great experience, pleasure to work with. She was the youth and care

337
00:27:23,010 --> 00:27:31,250
ETCA counselor of the year in 2324 and we were super lucky that she applied to go over to

338
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:36,270
George Washington and she will serve under Josh Bell as a supervisor at George Washington.

339
00:27:38,930 --> 00:27:43,990
And yeah, she's great, she's an amazing human being so the kids are going to be really

340
00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:48,330
lucky to have her over there, she has a great experience working with students that need

341
00:27:48,330 --> 00:27:51,850
that extra level of support, so congratulations, Jan.

342
00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:52,490
Thank you.

343
00:27:52,670 --> 00:27:53,010
Thank you.

344
00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:58,970
You're super excited, so I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the opportunity.

345
00:27:58,970 --> 00:28:02,450
I have loved my experience here in Ogden School District.

346
00:28:02,590 --> 00:28:08,990
I wasn't in education until we moved here and I have absolutely been thrilled with working

347
00:28:08,990 --> 00:28:11,390
with everybody that I've had the opportunity to work with.

348
00:28:12,370 --> 00:28:16,230
We've chosen Ogden so much that three of our five kids have graduated from Ben Lomond.

349
00:28:16,490 --> 00:28:22,130
So I just want to thank all of you for the support that you guys give to all the educators

350
00:28:22,130 --> 00:28:24,550
and the faculties at all the schools.

351
00:28:24,770 --> 00:28:25,370
It means a lot.

352
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:30,410
I've had the opportunity to meet and visit with so many of you board members that our graduation out of mail and speak

353
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:35,430
So I'm looking forward to that at George Washington. So just wanted to thank you all so much

354
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,680
Thanks, and then I just wanted to touch base. We had a great opening institute

355
00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:52,660
There's a live stream if you want to go watch it, but we were we were able to really I think hit the ground running with our theme the power of yet

356
00:28:53,780 --> 00:28:54,900
We had it we had a great

357
00:28:56,700 --> 00:29:01,140
everybody did such a great job. I mean, from everybody that participated in it and in the program,

358
00:29:01,540 --> 00:29:07,180
from, and our employees of the year were awesome, did a great job. And Brad Snyder, like, yeah,

359
00:29:07,220 --> 00:29:11,660
I think his, his message, I've had the privilege of watching him speak a few times down at

360
00:29:11,660 --> 00:29:17,000
courageous principals in Deloitte, so as my team, we all felt like it was, it would be a really

361
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,640
good fit for, for, for our theme. We were lucky enough to get him with help from the Cook Center,

362
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,840
So I really want to shout out to them until then thank you for the support and making that a reasonable

363
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,800
Cost to bring him in but just a tremendous story. I think it hit real home

364
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,900
I've heard a lot from a boys already a lot of a lot of messages saying hey, that was just

365
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,620
Perfect. I really needed that. That was something that really

366
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,140
Hit home for a lot of our our people and it went hand in hand with our thing

367
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:48,520
So just thought that was great for those of you that have seen it those of you that are there if you if you didn't if you weren't

368
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,540
you can watch the live stream, but that was one of our better opening

369
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:55,920
institutes we've had. We always do a great job. I feel like with opening

370
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,620
institute, but that was that one in particular, I think, really, really hit home.

371
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
Excited to have kids back tomorrow. We have a whole host of people who's going to show up to Lincoln because of some construction issues around the school. We've got all kinds of road dripped up. We've got all kinds of situations out there. So I'm going to be out there in the morning with some of our district team as well. Just kind of helping support parents, getting their kids. And hopefully they get that done over the weekend, but excited to have kids back tomorrow. So I like our starts, kind of that soft start tomorrow where we get a lot of the things out of the way as far as the kid kids

372
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:32,480
familiar with building, get them in the classroom,

373
00:30:32,780 --> 00:30:34,260
at the secondary level, get their disclosures,

374
00:30:34,420 --> 00:30:36,740
get everything figured out, teachers get that day

375
00:30:36,740 --> 00:30:39,220
to prepare for Monday, and then we really

376
00:30:39,540 --> 00:30:40,720
will hit the ground running Monday.

377
00:30:40,940 --> 00:30:43,260
And that's the best time of year to get kids back.

378
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,620
So just excited to get rolling.

379
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,920
Zane will turn time number two.

380
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:53,080
Just a couple of things.

381
00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:57,000
Taylor Canyon property.

382
00:30:58,380 --> 00:31:00,660
We haven't closed on it yet.

383
00:31:00,660 --> 00:31:01,860
But

384
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:13,220
I did get an email today, there are some things on the plate, they're still trying

385
00:31:13,220 --> 00:31:19,460
to get corrected, so anyway, I thought we'd be closed on them by the time we met today.

386
00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:28,000
We'll say maybe before next work session, but it's in the works.

387
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:41,920
Also, you might want to check out the playground, the turf at Polk Elementary, and that new bridge is done now.

388
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:51,900
So hopefully the kids won't be playing in the dirt anymore, and the tile was all fixed, and the playground is a new bridge.

389
00:31:51,900 --> 00:32:00,600
So that's good. That's that's my update today. It was it was well received at

390
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,060
Polk last night was everyone see their teachers and then go look outside and

391
00:32:04,060 --> 00:32:09,200
run around the field. Yeah, I'm still not quite sure how we're going to deal

392
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:17,240
with the let's put it this way. Those fields are not conducive to pets and

393
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:25,080
people, you know the gates are open and people don't want to run their pets on it and that

394
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,660
can be a problem as well.

395
00:32:27,100 --> 00:32:32,940
Be monitoring that, but maybe if everybody back to Baggy with them.

396
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:33,580
Sign okay.

397
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:36,300
We got some signage that says that though too out there.

398
00:32:37,340 --> 00:32:38,480
Massage of the signage.

399
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:38,780
Yeah.

400
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:39,180
So.

401
00:32:40,060 --> 00:32:40,540
Yeah.

402
00:32:41,020 --> 00:32:46,420
But the gates aren't locked so it's not going to be easy for so we'll just kind of have to monitor

403
00:32:46,420 --> 00:32:47,040
So

404
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:58,520
at Polk, I was taking my granddaughters up to the playground before the new fields were being put in.

405
00:32:59,060 --> 00:33:04,920
There is a gentleman up there that taught us a dog to climb up and go down the slide.

406
00:33:05,420 --> 00:33:07,100
So we'll have to watch for him.

407
00:33:11,710 --> 00:33:12,810
Okay, thank you.

408
00:33:12,810 --> 00:33:21,230
So now we'll turn time over to Sarah W. Reader, our executive director of Education and Community Partnership.

409
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:36,880
President of the board, Superintendent members of the board, I am very excited to be here today,

410
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:43,220
and to be able to share with you a little bit of an update as Superintendent said,

411
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:49,240
you know, things are rolling and Zay was talking about construction

412
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,960
And I feel like everything is super connected.

413
00:33:52,260 --> 00:33:54,680
I want to make sure I give you a quick update.

414
00:33:54,980 --> 00:33:59,800
You've got the synopsis where I've tried to spell out some of the information that was provided in.

415
00:34:00,420 --> 00:34:01,140
Can you believe it?

416
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:02,700
Our first report on the grant.

417
00:34:03,420 --> 00:34:11,440
We submitted our first report on the grant that provided the substantive funding for the construction of renovations on Friday.

418
00:34:11,940 --> 00:34:16,500
And so I wanted to make sure that you had enough awareness to be able to speak to what

419
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:20,680
is happening as it still looks like a lot of dirt.

420
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:23,680
And it's still hot.

421
00:34:24,300 --> 00:34:28,280
And Jason, I thought of you because of your fashion sense.

422
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:33,240
And I had to wear flats today because I was at the construction site, so my outfit isn't

423
00:34:33,240 --> 00:34:33,760
quite working.

424
00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:35,240
I hope you will all forgive me.

425
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:42,260
But I want to just dive in and let you know that we are really leaning in on that theme.

426
00:34:42,820 --> 00:34:48,320
Everything is starting to come together and our community is starting to have murmurings

427
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,100
and ask for more information and can we come get tours?

428
00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:57,680
And I know some of you are part of that and helping spread the word about the opportunity

429
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,080
that this center provides Ogden School District.

430
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:10,680
So as we have the approved construction is underway and we've already paid out a significant

431
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:16,680
amount of our allocation, I'm very excited to say the South Hall will be finished on

432
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,100
or before September 2nd, we do our punch walk next week.

433
00:35:20,980 --> 00:35:26,880
So that is really significant progress for redoing that childcare wing, adding in those bathrooms,

434
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:36,160
which will be child care appropriate bathrooms so that we have children safely able to take care of their needs during the school day.

435
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,460
We're working on signage and things are starting to really look great.

436
00:35:41,660 --> 00:35:48,140
We walked today and I have never seen the walls look white in this building before.

437
00:35:49,300 --> 00:35:54,640
So I'm going to say the classroom walls are white and that just really jumped out at me.

438
00:35:54,640 --> 00:36:00,720
I have a lot of history with this building, it was amazing to see, but it isn't just

439
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:01,580
the cosmetics.

440
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,360
Everyone of our partners who is on site has been reaching out asking how can we support

441
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,880
the vision and mission, and do we need to adjust our agreement, how is our space working,

442
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:18,020
how can our services work together, and that has philanthropic agencies excited, I will be

443
00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:23,540
meeting with another group next week, so far we've only received a $2,000 donation for

444
00:36:23,540 --> 00:36:29,100
beautification that I promise that we will have updates on funding as we continue engaging

445
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:35,140
community members. I'm just so excited because our purpose isn't just a place-based solution

446
00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:41,880
for community access. It is the fact that our families are community and we need a place-based

447
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:47,640
solution that this provides for our families to be able to empower their children. Show their children

448
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,000
that they're continuing their education. Show their children that they are working to become ready

449
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,820
for employment. Show their children that they're stepping out of their comfort zone or seeking

450
00:36:57,820 --> 00:37:04,840
resources to support their own child. And it's been really rewarding as we've had these conversations

451
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:11,200
and they've wanted to increase as providers those options and opportunities. I got to meet and

452
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:17,320
speak with a number of parents the last few weeks as well. And everybody is speaking to literacy

453
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:24,960
graduation. The Nexus 2030 is permeating and aligning and keeping us focused in all that we are

454
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:30,260
doing including the work in health and wellness ensuring that that's a through line for student

455
00:37:30,260 --> 00:37:39,340
attendance. That's a through line for minimizing mobility and one of the things that I think is most

456
00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:46,240
important is that our providers are really agreeable to the idea that we're going to track how many of

457
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:49,120
of our families are actually working with them.

458
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,520
The last several years at Kennergarten Registration,

459
00:37:52,580 --> 00:37:55,180
we've asked families questions about what services

460
00:37:55,180 --> 00:37:57,200
they've participated in,

461
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,580
what supports they've received prior to registration,

462
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,100
and historically we have fewer than 10 mentioned

463
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:08,060
anything other than Al Capin Midtown Clinic.

464
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,680
Good news is Al Capin Midtown Clinic

465
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,520
are at the Opportunity Center.

466
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,340
So we have a really strong anchor

467
00:38:15,340 --> 00:38:20,380
and we really want to ensure our families are learning about and tapping resources

468
00:38:20,380 --> 00:38:25,540
before Ogden School District refers them. Generally speaking, families say

469
00:38:25,540 --> 00:38:31,840
that we have been their first referral to the services for community support,

470
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:37,800
even housing assistance, even food assistance. And so we want to shift that

471
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,480
and make those direct connections with our providers and make sure that this is a hub

472
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,320
for all of us to work together and refer to one another.

473
00:38:46,180 --> 00:38:53,380
So we are leveraging the four pillars of a community school or rather the pillars of

474
00:38:53,380 --> 00:39:00,180
community school within our four program priorities for the Opportunity Center.

475
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:06,580
So you can see the connection and the service providers under each pillar as they currently

476
00:39:06,580 --> 00:39:11,900
stand and the connections that we're trying to make to those elements of a full service

477
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:18,300
community school. Each of you actually does have this slide deck in your drive but I didn't

478
00:39:18,300 --> 00:39:24,600
set the notification because that would interrupt you during your meeting but you can you can

479
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:30,640
access it if you want to pull up your drive if you're trying to to view this a little more fully.

480
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:36,180
The idea is that nothing is happening standalone. Everything is interconnected and this is a community

481
00:39:36,180 --> 00:39:41,420
school that will have an after school program that starts in September. This is a community

482
00:39:41,420 --> 00:39:48,500
school that will have SNACs in support for students after school and and is

483
00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:53,900
already that and it's just going to continue to grow. I shared with with Luke a

484
00:39:53,900 --> 00:39:57,720
photo. I was talking to some of the students participating in Ogden Jets

485
00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:02,920
today and you know they're already feeling because there's so many of us there

486
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,260
every day working on construction and trying to figure out what doors we're

487
00:40:06,260 --> 00:40:12,940
in the heat working. They asked, hey, can we play this piano? Lots of times they asked if they

488
00:40:12,940 --> 00:40:19,780
can help us move things, but they wanted to play the piano. And to see these football players,

489
00:40:20,100 --> 00:40:25,980
these post high school football players sitting down, one of them performing his very own piece that he's

490
00:40:25,980 --> 00:40:32,580
been working on because it really helps him stay grounded when he's working hard. I'm just excited

491
00:40:32,580 --> 00:40:40,980
for what is to come as we not only develop that tremendous, again, opportunity. Right? It's

492
00:40:40,980 --> 00:40:47,380
redundant for a reason that this site is providing with your leadership and approval, but also

493
00:40:47,380 --> 00:40:53,780
using this to pilot some of our practices and procedures for working with partners and community

494
00:40:53,780 --> 00:40:59,860
and majoring impact and talking about through lines. Mike and Ali have been really supportive in this

495
00:40:59,860 --> 00:41:05,280
work, Ellie, Monica and I meet weekly and try to triangulate efforts with partnership

496
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:11,500
family and community engagement and impact data. And we are starting to see that show up

497
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:17,340
in our partner conversations and those MOU reviews this year. So these are some of the things

498
00:41:17,340 --> 00:41:23,400
that will be part of that for our site. Thank you to Zane and Mike Hipwell for helping us work

499
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:29,800
through Internet access, always part of an agreement, but we were operating under e-rate

500
00:41:30,310 --> 00:41:36,980
and you can always jump in if I inarticulately convey this. We were not able to provide

501
00:41:36,980 --> 00:41:43,060
community-wide Internet at this space and we were needing to put in a ticket for every community

502
00:41:43,060 --> 00:41:52,120
event or anytime there was a visitor on site, which as you can imagine would be very frustrating

503
00:41:52,120 --> 00:42:00,940
Owners. Owners, yes. Rush, you can write that one down too. And so I'm just so thrilled

504
00:42:00,940 --> 00:42:06,000
that as Josh and I were talking a mic about the growing vision and the needs and do we

505
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:11,880
really have to do a symposium take it every time that we will now be so excited. We get

506
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:17,840
our first payment this week. We will be able to have community access to the Internet

507
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:24,080
and will operate a little bit more conveniently for those partners on site during the construction.

508
00:42:24,660 --> 00:42:32,620
A provider that I will not name has actually not been able to provide service to the majority

509
00:42:32,620 --> 00:42:39,280
of our partners on site who use that provider. A line was cut more than two weeks ago and we've

510
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:46,840
been providing backup symposium access that whole time. We just need our partners who are on site

511
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,320
and our community members coming to work on their taxes to be able to have

512
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,820
Internet access with protections, of course, so we will be filtering, but that's

513
00:42:54,820 --> 00:43:00,220
going to be a huge win and it will make some of our other practices more meaningful.

514
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:07,320
And we can then share that as we started draft for our principles and our

515
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,540
cabinet, what that might look like is their writing agreements with some of the

516
00:43:10,540 --> 00:43:16,360
lessons that we are learning. We've provided them resources compiled largely by

517
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:25,000
L.A. Johnson, and we are now already able to celebrate that we are making progress towards

518
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:32,580
these priority goals for the Opportunity Center. Again, I mentioned when we would start, but we

519
00:43:32,580 --> 00:43:41,340
are aiming to increase adult education enrollment, early childhood enrollment and expand the opportunities

520
00:43:41,340 --> 00:43:46,500
for community health. I'll be meeting with Jackie's recovery to make sure that we're including

521
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:54,500
mental health service hours in that as well. On the 31st, we were able to have 138 families

522
00:43:54,500 --> 00:44:02,180
fully registered and participate in our soft opening and there's 138 families were able to,

523
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:08,000
as those of you who are there know, meet providers, get additional resources, sign up for services,

524
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:14,560
and that will be the model for the four events that we will have for the rest of this year there.

525
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,100
I'm really focused on building that trust visibility and handoff to partners.

526
00:44:19,740 --> 00:44:25,720
We did have 20 partners there and our liaison, so 20 unique programs.

527
00:44:25,740 --> 00:44:30,700
I'm not counting United Way as five, even though they had all their impact teams there.

528
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:36,300
And we integrated our arts programming into that because we want to make sure

529
00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:41,520
that this is in a place where you go exclusively when you have a problem or a need. This is a space

530
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:47,040
where you can feel welcomed. This is a space where we can create, we can perform, and know that

531
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:54,620
there are resources available. And so to that end, we're going to keep creating the future together.

532
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,980
I can give updates as often as needed. I wanted to share with you the...

533
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,140
Progress of what it is starting to look like at this site are mural for which we received a grant from the Utah Division of Fine Arts and Museums is almost complete to represent the opportunity center with the famous quote about America itself means opportunity. Our students and participants from the community helped with our hand mural that will hang across from it.

534
00:45:29,140 --> 00:45:37,260
We'll mount that and some of our anchor partners and our liaison conducting work together.

535
00:45:37,900 --> 00:45:44,120
Many people shared how valuable it was to see that this is happening, even though it's

536
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:50,980
just an insimpancy, and I think Ali Martinez just really speaks beautifully and articulately.

537
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,800
You can tell she's a chief executive officer.

538
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:59,160
This place-based solution brings healthcare and community resources together, but it's

539
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,980
beyond co-location.

540
00:46:01,180 --> 00:46:08,000
We're not just all rental and independent operators, like we are collaborating.

541
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,260
And I thank you to everybody who has made that possible.

542
00:46:12,460 --> 00:46:15,440
You might see, mention of it on social media.

543
00:46:16,140 --> 00:46:22,420
I'm very excited to see, upstart posting about it, scholastic posting about it, city's strong,

544
00:46:22,420 --> 00:46:27,980
has made some posts about it and we are just going to keep going and make sure

545
00:46:27,980 --> 00:46:32,060
that we're tracking our impact and getting input as well from the broader

546
00:46:32,060 --> 00:46:36,720
community because future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their

547
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:41,080
dreams and I think this is this is one of those dreams that some of us have had

548
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:47,140
for a while. I've seen full service community schools start four times and I'll

549
00:46:47,140 --> 00:46:52,700
school district and I've seen the central middle school building have a family center

550
00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:59,480
five times and I'm really excited by the level of this commitment to make sure this is sustainable.

551
00:47:00,660 --> 00:47:01,140
Any questions?

552
00:47:05,850 --> 00:47:15,490
I do but so you said there's an after there will be an after school program to you have the point

553
00:47:15,490 --> 00:47:18,390
So BluePuck is working with United Way.

554
00:47:18,810 --> 00:47:24,250
They receive significant but not their full funding request for services.

555
00:47:24,750 --> 00:47:30,650
They will be doing tutoring every night and every week, and they did start inviting

556
00:47:30,650 --> 00:47:34,990
families who didn't have a spot at their local after school program.

557
00:47:35,710 --> 00:47:42,550
And they will be doing Mariachi and academic goal setting with all Mariachi students.

558
00:47:43,090 --> 00:47:50,630
Okay, and one other question, I thought you had a slide that said building capacity for

559
00:47:50,630 --> 00:47:51,530
you kind of freeze.

560
00:47:52,050 --> 00:47:59,740
I freeze there a lot of it, I told you, so we control the time.

561
00:48:01,980 --> 00:48:03,080
It's not right.

562
00:48:05,540 --> 00:48:05,880
Okay,

563
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:13,380
so yes, this was my title slide and this is what we're working towards.

564
00:48:13,380 --> 00:48:22,560
these represent the areas of goals for the grant itself. So in the area of adult education,

565
00:48:23,460 --> 00:48:31,080
we are charged with sharing and our metrics there. We need to have an increase in enrollment.

566
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:38,160
Our goal is an increase of 100 enrolled adult education participants. And the early childhood

567
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:45,260
space you know our goal is not just to fill every seat in the two LCAP classrooms but we are

568
00:48:45,260 --> 00:48:52,180
working to ensure funding for that daycare space that we are ready to start it's going to look

569
00:48:52,180 --> 00:48:58,000
beautiful it's almost ready in the meantime we will have the Browning Center utilize that room and

570
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:04,780
they'll be paying rent and utilizing it until we have that funding secured but we want to have all

571
00:49:04,780 --> 00:49:11,760
four rooms fully operational by the end of the year. That was a target. There isn't a desired

572
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:17,480
number of preschool or early childhood students that we want to make sure first and foremost

573
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:23,320
are adult ed students can get their children enrolled and served by a daycare there. That's

574
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:29,900
the the major increase adult ed enrollment so we need child care. And then to make sure that we

575
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:35,000
have that continuation of services. We've just added two additional food trucks for the

576
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:39,980
economic mobility and we have added the after-school partners who will be starting

577
00:49:39,980 --> 00:49:46,460
September and operated their introductory course during the summer and learn with play

578
00:49:46,460 --> 00:49:51,720
groups will be operating in addition to make sure that we're hitting those targets and

579
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:57,560
then midtown we've just signed our latest agreement with them to ensure that the facilities

580
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:02,340
meeting our needs, and we're doing joint recruitment, not just co-location, and L.A. Fed and her

581
00:50:02,340 --> 00:50:12,560
quote. And then we are also going to continue to put in our agreements what the metric of impact is

582
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,400
and how many families are served. Okay, thank you Sarah.

583
00:50:20,630 --> 00:50:22,670
Sarah, can you remind me how is our

584
00:50:22,670 --> 00:50:28,610
community learning about all the great things that are happening at this center? Is there a social

585
00:50:28,610 --> 00:50:34,290
media is there a newsletter like whoa right now we have started we have started small

586
00:50:34,970 --> 00:50:38,190
Sometimes I have to remind myself I officially started July 1

587
00:50:40,930 --> 00:50:47,670
But there is a newsletter that is provided for everybody who is on site and with information that they can share broadly

588
00:50:47,670 --> 00:50:51,790
Including if they have anyone who wants to donate I mentioned that each time

589
00:50:51,790 --> 00:50:54,250
um and where they can do that

590
00:50:54,850 --> 00:51:00,690
Then, as soon as we hire the grant provides for an administrative assistant, that administrative

591
00:51:00,690 --> 00:51:07,710
assistant will have a workstation and they will be the greeter of the facility at that front

592
00:51:07,710 --> 00:51:13,950
door after our parking is finished at the end of September, so adult ed will enter separately

593
00:51:13,950 --> 00:51:18,310
in the community, will enter through the front door for services and that individual will

594
00:51:18,310 --> 00:51:23,930
be their greeter and is going to run our website and work with Jared to make sure that that

595
00:51:23,930 --> 00:51:32,190
connected to social media right now it is just word of mouth and my request of

596
00:51:32,190 --> 00:51:36,550
everybody who steps into that building to post about it. So thank you upstart

597
00:51:36,550 --> 00:51:42,530
thank you Scholastic right but we we definitely are looking to the future there

598
00:51:42,530 --> 00:51:46,790
just not yet. I

599
00:51:49,130 --> 00:51:53,310
was just gonna say thanks Sarah it's nice to have Sarah in that role

600
00:51:53,310 --> 00:51:58,890
Right, like that's been kind of the missing piece is having somebody that can devote time

601
00:51:59,430 --> 00:52:02,690
and effort to it and passion, so just appreciate you.

602
00:52:03,910 --> 00:52:08,990
I would also like to add that I, first of all, every time you come you just share this

603
00:52:08,990 --> 00:52:12,730
amazing information about all the cool things that are going on in our district and I just

604
00:52:12,730 --> 00:52:13,190
love it.

605
00:52:13,630 --> 00:52:18,430
And I've watched since the beginning of my start here on the board and to be able to watch

606
00:52:18,430 --> 00:52:24,450
you be able to step into this role and take this and make it your baby kind of in a way

607
00:52:24,450 --> 00:52:28,870
that's so beneficial to our community, into our families, into our students and providing

608
00:52:28,870 --> 00:52:37,630
resources that are just incredible, just incredible. And so I just want to thank you for the legacy

609
00:52:37,630 --> 00:52:42,190
that you're creating for not only our students but for our community, to bring them together

610
00:52:42,190 --> 00:52:46,470
in a way that was missing, like Luke said before, it's just that little piece that was missing

611
00:52:46,470 --> 00:52:52,410
and it's going to be so beneficial and so excited. So exciting so I'm just I thank you for

612
00:52:52,410 --> 00:52:57,450
one to give to you are here. Well thank all of you because this wasn't my idea ready and so I'm

613
00:52:57,450 --> 00:53:02,410
thrilled and honored to be able to do this and I'll be adding statistical analyses to how we're

614
00:53:02,410 --> 00:53:05,230
operating which I am more excited about.

615
00:53:07,650 --> 00:53:14,350
Yeah yeah I love your vision. It's great. So I'm just

616
00:53:14,350 --> 00:53:18,530
interesting about this opportunity center update so is it an actual like place

617
00:53:18,530 --> 00:53:21,750
that's being held that's a part of the schools or can you like elaborate more on

618
00:53:21,750 --> 00:53:25,910
that. I'm calling it opportunity center at James Madison because I haven't

619
00:53:25,910 --> 00:53:30,310
yet figured out how we're going to take down some of the larger than life-sized

620
00:53:30,310 --> 00:53:34,870
signs that say James Madison. We were talking about that today and we have some

621
00:53:34,870 --> 00:53:44,750
working theories. But this is at 2563 just off of Monroe and before the end of

622
00:53:44,750 --> 00:53:47,710
September you will see a full parking lot and a new entrance for adult

623
00:53:47,710 --> 00:53:55,650
education able to provide space for every parent, every student who is going to

624
00:53:55,650 --> 00:54:00,910
that facility for learning. We have youth build operating there already to support

625
00:54:00,910 --> 00:54:07,690
adult education program. We have a clinic there. We have a therapy office there. We have

626
00:54:07,690 --> 00:54:14,010
the Ogden Jets which is the Gapier College program for academic support and continued

627
00:54:14,010 --> 00:54:22,090
conditioning. We have preschool child care. We do evening tax services and it is evolving.

628
00:54:22,910 --> 00:54:26,850
And we have board members there doing some. We do. We do and they're going to get

629
00:54:26,850 --> 00:54:33,630
like shelves. They have alarm codes now we're making programs. Yeah we do have some board members

630
00:54:33,630 --> 00:54:38,690
it's pretty cool they they do a dress for success program they do some a lot of outreach and

631
00:54:38,690 --> 00:54:43,730
get some real quality clothes clothing and we'll be doing some things out of the center to help

632
00:54:43,730 --> 00:54:48,950
provide some needed clothing. Yeah I think they need to be doing that. You said dress for success?

633
00:54:49,250 --> 00:54:54,330
Is that right? Yeah, yeah. It's kind of right if you're L.A. right but I probably don't talk enough

634
00:54:54,330 --> 00:55:00,690
about the economic mobility pieces, those financial supports, those two new food trucks, the incubation

635
00:55:00,690 --> 00:55:10,670
kitchen for those who are in startup businesses. We actually had walk-ins on the 31st. I had

636
00:55:10,670 --> 00:55:16,090
three people come and ask me, who do I talk to about an LLC, who do I talk to about getting started.

637
00:55:16,630 --> 00:55:23,030
So the fact that through the social media post we did have that three came in for that,

638
00:55:23,030 --> 00:55:26,890
But the same week that we added the number of food trucks

639
00:55:26,890 --> 00:55:29,930
and we're talking about access there just shows

640
00:55:29,930 --> 00:55:32,310
that there's a growing need that we've got to make sure

641
00:55:32,310 --> 00:55:34,370
we attend to for that economic support.

642
00:55:34,690 --> 00:55:35,590
So that's what we'll do.

643
00:55:36,010 --> 00:55:39,230
I would like to suggest a field trip in about two months.

644
00:55:39,530 --> 00:55:39,910
Yeah, yeah.

645
00:55:40,410 --> 00:55:41,850
Two months is the foundation.

646
00:55:41,850 --> 00:55:44,230
We'll be doing their field trip this week.

647
00:55:45,250 --> 00:55:46,550
Let's just cross our fingers.

648
00:55:46,810 --> 00:55:47,530
The air is working.

649
00:55:48,370 --> 00:55:48,890
Okay.

650
00:55:51,050 --> 00:55:52,090
Thank you.

651
00:55:53,880 --> 00:56:03,540

652
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:15,280

00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:16,000
