[14:29] Call to order the meeting of our city
[14:32] board of education and we will start
[14:33] with the pledge of allegiance.
[14:36] I pledge algiance to the flag of the
[14:39] United States of America and to the
[14:42] republic for which it stands. One nation
[14:45] under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[14:48] justice for all.
[14:57] Uh the board will now adjourn to close
[14:59] session for the purpose of a strategy
[15:01] session to discuss pending or reasonably
[15:03] eminent litigation and to discuss the
[15:06] character, professional competence or
[15:07] physical or mental health of an
[15:09] individual or
[15:12] motion to move for business. I'll second
[15:17] all in favor.
[15:20] Yes.
[15:28] >> Susan. Yes.
[1:22:55] We will continue on with our
[1:23:00] regular agenda and we are going to start
[1:23:03] with the recognition for Dear Valley in
[1:23:06] support of our graduation.
[1:23:09] If I can get Trevor Peterson, Trevor
[1:23:12] Bart, and Mark Chitka
[1:23:15] >> Kitka.
[1:23:17] >> I'm gonna blame it on Colton. I said,
[1:23:18] "How do you pronounce this?" [laughter]
[1:23:23] » They've been messing up and my whole
[1:23:25] life.
[1:23:27] >> We just want to thank you guys for being
[1:23:29] tremendous community partners and
[1:23:31] hosting our class of 2026 graduation. um
[1:23:35] we could have not have done it without
[1:23:36] the partnership and I recognize
[1:23:38] Catherine has moved on but she was
[1:23:40] instrumental in helping us pull this
[1:23:42] off. So this is a gift for you um as a
[1:23:46] token of gratitude.
[1:24:02] today.
[1:24:07] [clears throat]
[1:24:17] » And we recognize the silver lining of a
[1:24:19] mile of winter allowed this to happen.
[1:24:22] So I don't anticipate it happening
[1:24:24] again.
[1:24:26] Hope not. Thank you guys. Thank you.
[1:24:30] Thank you. Thank you guys.
[1:24:34] >> What a great spot. Thank you.
[1:24:36] >> Thank you.
[1:24:42] Um and then Lex Lee.
[1:24:45] >> Oh, there you are. Hey, sorry. Thought
[1:24:47] we'd go ahead and have you move after
[1:24:50] that. That's
[1:24:51] >> I'm gonna read Reed. Members of the
[1:24:53] board, Superintendent Huntsman. Um, I am
[1:24:56] Lexi Cunningham. I'm the executive
[1:24:57] director of the Tesco Superintendent
[1:24:59] Association. So, first of all, I bring
[1:25:01] greetings from our officers and our
[1:25:02] association. And we want to thank you
[1:25:04] for for your hard work and dedication.
[1:25:07] Things like what you just recognized
[1:25:09] don't happen unless a board is willing
[1:25:12] to take those chances and explore those
[1:25:15] opportunities so that students can have
[1:25:17] great experiences. Um at our summer
[1:25:20] conference every year we recognize our superintendents. We have um a
[1:25:24] recognition for first year
[1:25:25] superintendent as well as other
[1:25:28] longevity. And at this summer's
[1:25:30] conference we um were not able to
[1:25:33] recognize superintendent because she was
[1:25:35] not able to be at our dinner. I think
[1:25:36] she might have had a board meeting. I'm
[1:25:38] not 100% sure. But we do um a challenge
[1:25:42] coin for our first year superintendent
[1:25:44] to welcome them to our association to
[1:25:46] let them know how much we appreciate
[1:25:47] them. And we really do appreciate
[1:25:49] Superintendent Huntsman. She has joined
[1:25:52] our association.
[1:25:54] She has just gotten to know everybody.
[1:25:56] Um she's willing to help. She's willing
[1:25:58] to participate if somebody needs
[1:26:00] anything. She asks, you know, what can I
[1:26:02] do? She's always willing to share the
[1:26:04] great things that are going on up here
[1:26:05] in Park City and have others um learn
[1:26:09] from her. So, we are just so thankful
[1:26:12] that she is part of our association. I
[1:26:14] know that she's a year and a half in
[1:26:15] now, but we [clears throat] did want to
[1:26:17] give her her USASA year 1 challenge
[1:26:19] going. Um, and we wanted you to know how
[1:26:22] much we appreciate having her in our
[1:26:24] association.
[1:26:33] » Well, and we are absolutely thrilled to
[1:26:35] have another
[1:26:37] as well. Thank you for coming up here,
[1:26:39] Lexi.
[1:26:45] Okay. Our annual title n
[1:26:49] Oh, construction first.
[1:26:50] >> Oh, wait. Oh, sorry. Sorry.
[1:26:54] >> Sorry. [laughter]
[1:26:56] >> Stand by.
[1:26:59] >> JD, please join us.
[1:27:06] » Let's see. We'll start at Treasure
[1:27:08] Mount.
[1:27:13] Okay. Um, right now, uh, the batting
[1:27:17] cages installation, turf and netting are
[1:27:19] going up. Um, I don't know how much you
[1:27:21] guys can see from here or how much you
[1:27:22] get to see, but that's ongoing right
[1:27:24] now. Landscape's going on the back side
[1:27:26] of the baseball and softball fields. Um,
[1:27:30] the parking lot has been uh paved.
[1:27:34] >> Um, partially striped but not completely
[1:27:37] striped. We've still got to get the bus
[1:27:38] lane arrows in and some other stuff over
[1:27:40] there, but that's happening this week as
[1:27:42] well. Um, and then, uh, they are also
[1:27:47] doing the landscape in the parking lot
[1:27:49] and the planters and all the islands
[1:27:51] there and everything that's going on,
[1:27:53] uh, as far as irrigation goes and that
[1:27:55] kind of stuff that goes with the
[1:27:56] landscape there. Um, the trail has been
[1:27:59] paved all the way from the tunnel all
[1:28:01] the way over the do. I walked over here
[1:28:03] from there tonight. That's uh, how I got
[1:28:06] here. Uh, so that's pretty nice. Um, the
[1:28:09] team rooms are just being finished being
[1:28:12] painted. All of the soft and fascia on
[1:28:14] there. Um, that's the support room down
[1:28:16] there's the team rooms for the softball
[1:28:18] and baseball. Um, that's done. The
[1:28:21] concessions building, they're doing all
[1:28:23] the finishing touches in there. All the
[1:28:24] tiles going in, all the ceilings are
[1:28:26] getting done. All the fixtures are being
[1:28:28] put on. Um,
[1:28:31] the turf on the baseball field is done.
[1:28:34] Um they are going to be doing infill for
[1:28:36] the next two days. Um which is all the
[1:28:38] sand and the rubber and everything else.
[1:28:40] But they're the home plate. Um and I
[1:28:43] left there oh I don't know four but they
[1:28:46] should have had the rest of it. They had
[1:28:47] it down. They were just cutting the
[1:28:48] other pieces in. So uh their plan is to
[1:28:51] move to the south soccer field on
[1:28:55] Monday.
[1:28:56] The north soccerfield has to remain open
[1:28:58] right now because we where those two
[1:29:00] crest boxes are in the bleachers in the
[1:29:02] middle in the center. There's a press
[1:29:04] box that goes there and the footing has
[1:29:06] to be poured for it. So, uh, the south
[1:29:10] is the one the one that's ready right
[1:29:12] now. So, that's why they're going to
[1:29:13] move there. They do tell me that those
[1:29:15] go pretty fast because they're basically
[1:29:16] a box, right? They roll them out where
[1:29:19] they have a little bit more to deal with
[1:29:20] in the other fields. So, um, so they'll
[1:29:24] move there. They said the turf will go
[1:29:26] down fast. Then they got another week or
[1:29:27] two, you know, uh, cutting everything in
[1:29:29] and doing all that stuff. So, within two
[1:29:31] weeks, I would say we probably see both
[1:29:33] of those fields. The south one for sure
[1:29:36] done. North one's going to take a little
[1:29:37] bit longer because of the pad, but that
[1:29:40] should go fairly quick, too. So, um, the
[1:29:42] support building is uh, in roughin, so
[1:29:46] we've got the roof on it. Um, all the
[1:29:49] mechanical equipment's up there. They're
[1:29:51] inside plumbing all everything, putting
[1:29:52] in the HVC, HVAC, and everything else.
[1:29:56] And then the big stuff is the site
[1:29:58] concrete. I'd say we're about 90% done
[1:30:00] with the sight concrete. Mostly what's
[1:30:02] the plaza's done. There's a couple
[1:30:04] tie-in spots around the baseball field.
[1:30:07] Uh, and then on the far north end of the
[1:30:08] baseball field. Um, and then we the
[1:30:13] what's lacking right now is the tennis
[1:30:14] courts, right? We have a lot of stuff
[1:30:16] stored over where the tennis courts go.
[1:30:18] Um, but within the next week, probably
[1:30:20] next week, you'll start to see all that
[1:30:22] move. Our last soils pile we have over
[1:30:24] there is actually going into the tennis
[1:30:26] courts. That's been tested and then
[1:30:28] that's getting graded out there where
[1:30:30] the tennis courts are. All the sight
[1:30:32] lighting's up. They're doing the parking
[1:30:33] lot this week. They're sitting the holes
[1:30:35] in the parking lot. Um,
[1:30:38] let's see what else I have there. Uh,
[1:30:42] the utilities are all in except for the
[1:30:44] power. So, we have the gas, the sewer,
[1:30:46] the water in. The power is going in
[1:30:48] Saturday. Uh I don't know you guys are
[1:30:51] this is you know Rocky Mountain Power
[1:30:54] will notify you guys but the power will
[1:30:55] be out here Saturday. So why they're
[1:30:57] doing this right? So on campus from all
[1:31:00] the way over to McFolan it'll all be
[1:31:02] out. So they said they'll be done by the
[1:31:04] end of the day. So but that'll be power
[1:31:06] and they should be sending you guys a
[1:31:08] notice you know. So and I told Joe so he
[1:31:10] knows it's aware of that. So, um, and
[1:31:14] that's really kind of it over there at,
[1:31:17] uh, Treasure. There's still tracking for
[1:31:20] the end of October. The tennis court
[1:31:22] guys are are ready to go to work. They
[1:31:24] just need that graded out. So, uh, there
[1:31:27] should be a delay with getting the
[1:31:29] tennis courts in. The time will be in
[1:31:31] the tearing of the concrete, right, and
[1:31:32] the coating. So, that'll probably be the
[1:31:34] last thing done that you'll see down
[1:31:36] over there. But I would say overall
[1:31:40] probably about 85% there without the
[1:31:42] turf on the two soccer fields. But all
[1:31:44] of it's there. We do still have some
[1:31:46] other stuff coming.
[1:31:47] >> If we have snow, keep fingers crossed
[1:31:50] before October. How will that delay
[1:31:52] this? Will it?
[1:31:54] >> It shouldn't. It shouldn't delay too
[1:31:56] much, especially the concrete. I mean,
[1:31:57] they can blank the concrete and stuff
[1:31:59] like that if they have to, but it' have
[1:32:01] to be sustaining like freezing
[1:32:02] temperatures. You know what I mean? We
[1:32:04] could weather a storm or two. Clearly,
[1:32:06] we have with these rainstorms as well,
[1:32:08] too. That's been causing us a little bit
[1:32:10] of grief on some of the finish of the
[1:32:12] track and the finish on the bleachers.
[1:32:14] Uh, but if you wait 15 minutes, they
[1:32:17] tend to blow over, but they do cause
[1:32:19] some a little bit of problem, but I
[1:32:21] think it'll be fine. So, I I would
[1:32:23] anticipate by the middle of September,
[1:32:25] most of the turf would be down. So, it
[1:32:27] would just be the concrete of that. So,
[1:32:30] >> power you said will be out. That's just
[1:32:33] not neighborhoods. No neighborhoods,
[1:32:35] just uh the campus from the DO to
[1:32:39] probably the other side of McFoland. I
[1:32:40] don't think it'll affect the high school
[1:32:42] at all, but it' be the learning center
[1:32:44] as well. That'll all be out until they
[1:32:46] get it in. So,
[1:32:47] >> how confident are we are are we that it
[1:32:50] won't impact the high school?
[1:32:51] >> I checked with them today before I came
[1:32:53] over here and they said no at the high
[1:32:55] school. So, it's all on a different
[1:32:58] separate
[1:32:58] >> problem just to plan to not have that
[1:33:00] hour on Saturday.
[1:33:01] >> Exactly. [laughter]
[1:33:02] Is it going to be the whole day?
[1:33:04] >> Yes.
[1:33:07] >> When we built Mcullins, we upgraded the
[1:33:08] power there. Would have known we were
[1:33:10] doing this. We could have done all that
[1:33:11] at the same time, but we didn't, right?
[1:33:14] So, they have to upgrade all that power.
[1:33:17] So,
[1:33:20] >> go ahead. I was just going to say it's
[1:33:21] kind of it's kind of interesting because
[1:33:23] everything's LED over there, right? And
[1:33:25] even these big the the tall sight lights
[1:33:27] don't draw that much power. I asked him
[1:33:29] that, but they had to. They're taking
[1:33:31] the chance. I don't know if you know, we
[1:33:32] hit when we hit the transformer there
[1:33:34] that's in the first corner there where
[1:33:36] you turn into the parking lot. That was
[1:33:38] that has to be moved as well. And then
[1:33:40] the one that's in front of Mc Pole has
[1:33:42] to be redone because it's so old. And so
[1:33:44] they're taking the time to kind of
[1:33:45] upgrade their little stuff while they're
[1:33:46] do. So
[1:33:49] >> my quick question is just about the burm
[1:33:52] that kind of runs along.
[1:33:54] >> Yes. About the shape of it.
[1:33:56] >> Yes. Right here. Right there. They're
[1:33:58] going to cut a saddle in that as they're
[1:34:00] doing it. So, we we keep having weekly
[1:34:02] inspections from DEEQ and
[1:34:06] >> despite my differing of opinions that we
[1:34:08] need to cover everything, then it's been
[1:34:09] tested and it's passed its tests and
[1:34:11] we're we still have to maintain the
[1:34:13] cover on that. So, it's difficult unless
[1:34:15] you're going to do it all in one shot to
[1:34:16] kind of shape it and then cover it and
[1:34:18] everything else. And the landscapers are
[1:34:20] working their way that way. So I would
[1:34:22] say two weeks you might start to see
[1:34:24] that saddle cut in there and we're going
[1:34:26] to kind of bowl it out at the bottom. So
[1:34:28] we have more snow put place to push some
[1:34:31] >> and be sed.
[1:34:33] >> It gets sold. Yes. Yeah. And there'll be
[1:34:35] a few trees and some plants along the
[1:34:36] back there. But they're they're going
[1:34:38] hot heavy on the irrigation now and and
[1:34:40] then they'll start spreading that top
[1:34:41] soil. So they're trying to c play
[1:34:44] catchup in the parking lot too. Like I
[1:34:46] said, getting all the planters in there
[1:34:47] because they don't want to box
[1:34:49] themselves out. So
[1:34:52] that's pretty much it for treasure. So I
[1:34:54] don't have much more there. Um they're
[1:34:57] still like I said they're still tracking
[1:34:58] end of October. I do think that the
[1:35:00] tennis courts will bleed into November
[1:35:02] depending on how quickly they get
[1:35:04] imported and how quickly they get they
[1:35:06] cure up and then and then the coating
[1:35:08] obviously. Um Doure is in great shape.
[1:35:13] Uh the entrance gateway buildings on the
[1:35:15] east side there are all completed.
[1:35:17] File's done, partitions are in, power's
[1:35:20] on, everything's done there. Um the uh m
[1:35:24] the steel for the canopy is on site. Um
[1:35:29] it got there this morning, so they're
[1:35:31] going to try to start erecting the
[1:35:32] columns and getting part of that
[1:35:33] partially in place uh this week and then
[1:35:36] next week. The visitors bleachers are
[1:35:38] coming this week. So you'll start seeing
[1:35:40] that. They are coating the track.
[1:35:43] They've got first coat on in they're
[1:35:45] doing it in sections which I don't
[1:35:46] understand but that's that's their deal.
[1:35:48] Uh but you if you ever go over there
[1:35:50] you'll see that that first coat on
[1:35:51] there. It's kind of black. I think I
[1:35:53] have some pictures uh here that kind of
[1:35:56] Oops.
[1:35:58] There's the baseball field.
[1:36:01] So, and that was from yesterday, not
[1:36:02] today. So, that they've got they're past
[1:36:05] home plate now in into the back. So, and
[1:36:08] then that's the soccer fields. They're
[1:36:10] just finishing the fine grading on
[1:36:12] those. So they're ready to go and then
[1:36:14] that's them coding the track and then
[1:36:17] build.
[1:36:18] So they also this is from yesterday but
[1:36:21] they now have set the upper section of
[1:36:23] pre-cast. So that's something you know
[1:36:25] this isn't isn't current to what's
[1:36:26] happened today but where that still
[1:36:28] comes up. So there's another level of
[1:36:30] seating that goes up and then you have
[1:36:32] the press box there in the middle. I
[1:36:34] know it's kind of hard to to understand
[1:36:35] or see that picture there, but they
[1:36:37] they're setting all of that upper
[1:36:39] pre-cast this week. And then they put
[1:36:42] the stairs in, too. So, all that's going
[1:36:44] and they've coated they're coating on
[1:36:46] the north side of the bleachers. Uh that
[1:36:49] side's done. So, um he's working his way
[1:36:52] across that lower section of seating.
[1:36:54] Then he'll move up to the upper section
[1:36:56] of seating. Um he's affected by the rain
[1:36:59] a lot, right? So, like he pulled off a
[1:37:02] little bit this afternoon because of the
[1:37:03] rain. Uh, and it affects the track and
[1:37:06] those guys pulled off for a little
[1:37:07] while, too. But they when they're
[1:37:09] putting stuff down, if it's a little bit
[1:37:11] tacky, they're okay. But if they're just
[1:37:12] started, then they got to stop. But I
[1:37:14] think we're we'll work our way through
[1:37:16] that. So, um, but the ramp on the on the
[1:37:20] south end is done up to the bleachers.
[1:37:22] They got a little section there to do.
[1:37:24] The planters in the back are done. All
[1:37:26] the garden level bathrooms, that
[1:37:27] building's all done in the back. They'll
[1:37:29] put the roof on that next week. The
[1:37:31] concessions, the uh flex space on the
[1:37:34] north and south sides of the stadium on
[1:37:36] the second level, those are all framed
[1:37:38] in. They're putting the finishes in
[1:37:40] there now. They're going to start some
[1:37:41] of the drywall in there. Uh they're just
[1:37:44] finishing up that MEP in there. Inside
[1:37:46] the bleachers themselves um is all of
[1:37:50] the mechanical and electrical and all
[1:37:51] the roughing going inside there. That's
[1:37:54] it. It's quite a space in there and
[1:37:56] there's a lot going on inside there. You
[1:37:58] don't see them obviously because they're
[1:37:59] inside there, but that's that's ongoing.
[1:38:02] Um, all of the utilities here are done
[1:38:06] as well except on this west side. The
[1:38:09] gas is at the property line. If you
[1:38:11] remember, we were going to take it out
[1:38:13] of Lucky Jump, but we're not. So, they
[1:38:15] won't connect onto it until the
[1:38:17] bleachers are close to being done
[1:38:19] because they don't want their meter
[1:38:20] getting hit and having problems. So,
[1:38:22] that's that'll have to wait a little
[1:38:23] bit. And then we're making the final
[1:38:25] water connection that's on that north
[1:38:26] end. Again, that was coming out of Lucky
[1:38:29] John. They hot tapped it today and
[1:38:31] that's coming across that uh north end
[1:38:35] uh from uh west to east. So, or from
[1:38:38] east to west. So, they started that
[1:38:40] today. That that ends the utilities
[1:38:42] there. We have power uh on at everything
[1:38:45] and even at the uh home bleachers. So
[1:38:49] they built they partially built the
[1:38:51] electrical room up there on the second
[1:38:52] level. This is in in for the game,
[1:38:55] right? So we have lights, everything
[1:38:56] else. They'll be going through the
[1:38:59] scoreboard and the upgraded sound system
[1:39:01] this week as well and the next week.
[1:39:03] Giving that a couple trial runs. So you
[1:39:05] may hear some loud music coming from
[1:39:07] over there. But that uh that's ongoing.
[1:39:10] A lot of this stuff is in preparation.
[1:39:12] and they're pouring the rest of the
[1:39:14] concrete uh up against the track there
[1:39:17] on the east side or that entrance. The
[1:39:20] entrance way is done going into the uh
[1:39:23] through the canopy into the field now.
[1:39:25] There's couple seat walls in there. Um
[1:39:28] they'll pour they'll get those columns
[1:39:29] up and then pour the rest of that around
[1:39:31] the columns, but they poured along all
[1:39:32] those buildings today and down to the
[1:39:35] visitor bleachers pad. So um those are
[1:39:38] in pretty good shape. So, I don't
[1:39:41] believe the upper section of the home
[1:39:44] bleachers would be available for the
[1:39:45] game, but the lower section will be
[1:39:47] available. So,
[1:39:51] and they're tracking end of October as
[1:39:53] well. So,
[1:39:57] um obviously at this point timeline has
[1:40:01] become an issue.
[1:40:02] >> Yes.
[1:40:02] >> Uh you said October for both of them,
[1:40:05] but that's three months behind where it
[1:40:07] should have been. What are our risks in
[1:40:09] hitting North?
[1:40:11] >> Um I the weather's obviously the big
[1:40:14] one, right? If we get into we don't get
[1:40:16] lucky and have a weird or whichever way
[1:40:19] you prefer to look at that. But if we if
[1:40:22] we have winter, you guys know as well as
[1:40:24] I do it snow in September, October,
[1:40:26] November, right? So that's probably the
[1:40:28] biggest thing I would say is the
[1:40:29] weather, right? Getting all the things
[1:40:31] done that need to need to happen before
[1:40:33] it starts to sustain cold temperatures,
[1:40:35] right? So, I don't see how they wouldn't
[1:40:37] have the track done. Um, they've they've
[1:40:40] really put an effort in on getting that
[1:40:41] coated uh once that first coat starts.
[1:40:44] It's just I mean it they really are
[1:40:46] making pretty good progress on that.
[1:40:47] Same with the bleachers other than he's
[1:40:50] a little more sensitive to the rain. So,
[1:40:52] uh but I can't see where they wouldn't
[1:40:54] be done with those out of most of the
[1:40:56] weather rain window anyways. So,
[1:41:01] that's probably the biggest thing. So,
[1:41:06] I can tell you JD's pushing him not to
[1:41:08] get in his personal life, but he was he had to vacate from his own during
[1:41:14] a fire. Went back in. I'll tell you, he
[1:41:16] didn't miss a beat. He was here every
[1:41:18] day. He was working on it every day. Uh
[1:41:20] we thought he'd be gone for four or five
[1:41:22] days and maybe now he wishes he would
[1:41:24] have been, but
[1:41:26] he was he
[1:41:28] >> Well, there was my marriage and then
[1:41:29] there was this.
[1:41:31] >> Yeah. True lie isn't on any
[1:41:36] >> my wife's dog doesn't like me. So being
[1:41:38] pulled up with a dog for five days.
[1:41:41] >> No, it was it was it was uh it was a
[1:41:45] challenge. I will tell you that. But
[1:41:46] it's very it was disruptive is what it
[1:41:48] was most.
[1:41:51] >> What about schools having to move?
[1:41:52] >> What's that?
[1:41:53] >> Was your house okay?
[1:41:54] >> Yeah, it's probably about a mile and a
[1:41:56] half. I show pulled some pictures
[1:41:57] earlier. You know, I the heel I live on
[1:42:00] West Center Road, so the heel right
[1:42:01] behind me is what was on fire. And
[1:42:03] >> because it's so steep, I can only see
[1:42:05] kind of out of my driveway. In fact, I
[1:42:06] sent Randy a picture that the other day
[1:42:08] and I don't think I sent it to you, but
[1:42:10] all I could see was what was directly
[1:42:12] behind me. And so it was just all the
[1:42:13] smoke and I thought, you know, I mean,
[1:42:15] it looked right was right on top of me,
[1:42:17] right? But then you drive down the road
[1:42:19] and it's quite a ways away, but it's
[1:42:21] just enough to, you know, it scares
[1:42:23] everybody in the family and all that
[1:42:25] stuff. So, it's just a challenge. So
[1:42:27] >> I think our biggest impact to answer
[1:42:29] your question is football girls soccer
[1:42:31] is playing out at Queens.
[1:42:33] >> Oh yeah.
[1:42:33] >> Currently. So football has the biggest
[1:42:36] impact with the delay.
[1:42:39] >> But you reference seating where I mean
[1:42:41] are we
[1:42:42] >> Yeah. I think I mean the plan is to have
[1:42:43] the September 11th game there. The
[1:42:45] seating will be there. I don't know. You
[1:42:48] may be sitting on the bleacher portion
[1:42:50] of it, not the aluminum portion of it,
[1:42:52] which is fine. Um they're I mean they're
[1:42:55] going to try to get over there, but the
[1:42:56] coating has to go down first before the
[1:42:59] bleachers can go down. And we had a
[1:43:01] little bit of a change there just so
[1:43:02] that you know we beefed up the
[1:43:04] waterproofing of that. So all of your
[1:43:06] rooms are underneath that, right? Your
[1:43:07] team rooms, all your meeting rooms, the
[1:43:09] bathrooms and everything. And so it had
[1:43:12] kind of had a subroof system before that
[1:43:14] was going to catch that if there was
[1:43:15] anything coming through. And we decided
[1:43:17] to beef that up so we didn't have that
[1:43:19] subroof and all that under structure
[1:43:21] underneath it. And so that's take that's
[1:43:23] the coating, right? That's what's taking
[1:43:25] a little bit of time. That goes down and
[1:43:27] then they put the the aluminum bleachers
[1:43:29] on top of that. So you'd be setting on
[1:43:31] the concrete most likely, but the
[1:43:33] visitor bleachers would be in this. The
[1:43:35] power was the big one. The power we'd
[1:43:37] have powered all the lights and the
[1:43:38] sound system and everything else. Um,
[1:43:41] and then I think we've worked out uh the
[1:43:44] media press stuff and the play calling
[1:43:46] and all that stuff. So I think we're I
[1:43:48] think we're pretty solid. So what date
[1:43:50] were we playing?
[1:43:52] September 11th.
[1:43:52] >> September 11.
[1:43:53] >> So this Friday we're playing at South
[1:43:55] Summit High School, neutral sight. We
[1:43:57] are playing against Morgan High School
[1:43:58] and then the next home game is scheduled
[1:44:01] for September 11th.
[1:44:02] >> South is kind of misplaced.
[1:44:14] Just girls soccer.
[1:44:16] >> I will tell you the football field's
[1:44:18] usable, right? So they've been
[1:44:19] practicing on the football field. The
[1:44:21] flag team was the girls were playing
[1:44:22] there. I think the lacrosse guys
[1:44:24] practiced a couple times and the teams
[1:44:26] back a couple times, but the field's
[1:44:27] available.
[1:44:28] >> So it's just a matter of back around the
[1:44:31] edge.
[1:44:31] >> Oh yeah. It's all tacked back. Yeah.
[1:44:34] >> So the only the only two in really
[1:44:36] inseason lacrosse is not in season
[1:44:39] activities. The only two in season is
[1:44:41] football girls.
[1:44:43] >> Yeah. But but it is
[1:44:44] >> that's outdoors.
[1:44:46] >> What about the other one?
[1:44:48] I believe one of our tennis,
[1:44:55] » but that parking lot will be done too.
[1:44:58] >> The parking is already done in front of
[1:45:00] the buildings. It's already paved.
[1:45:02] >> There's a lot of porties over there and
[1:45:04] things like that.
[1:45:05] >> So, we we had to So, the the contractor
[1:45:08] staged in the parking lot on that far
[1:45:11] side there. You seen his trailer there
[1:45:12] along the bus stop and everything there.
[1:45:14] We moved him back over in front of those
[1:45:16] buildings. and he's actually staged in
[1:45:18] his office in the in the storage
[1:45:21] building to the north.
[1:45:22] >> Okay.
[1:45:23] >> Uh they're all finished and we put the
[1:45:25] fence back up to where it was where the
[1:45:26] original bus lane was. Um but everything
[1:45:29] from the fence over is paved and all the
[1:45:31] concrete's parking lot is available
[1:45:34] >> once they move out of there. They're
[1:45:36] using it for contractor parking and in
[1:45:39] front of the buildings there where it's
[1:45:41] fenced off, but the other parking lots
[1:45:43] Yeah. they're using that. So yeah.
[1:45:45] >> Yeah. All those stalls are paved.
[1:45:47] There's not that many stalls in front of
[1:45:48] there. Most of them are handicapped
[1:45:50] stalls in front of those front of those
[1:45:52] east buildings. This this is just this
[1:45:54] is just graphic, right? It doesn't show
[1:45:56] everything, but it's an easy it's an
[1:45:58] easy one for me to use to explain
[1:45:59] things. But yeah, there's there's
[1:46:01] probably I don't know, I'm going to say
[1:46:04] 10 stalls in front of there that are
[1:46:05] mostly handicapped. But the apron ties
[1:46:07] into that parking lot, right? And that's
[1:46:09] all. So, and then all the concrete
[1:46:11] around between the high school and the
[1:46:13] field, that's all done as well. We do
[1:46:15] have the north end to for the for the uh
[1:46:18] water line right now, but everything
[1:46:20] else is done in there. All the planners,
[1:46:22] everything.
[1:46:24] >> Thank you.
[1:46:26] >> Thanks,
[1:46:34] [clears throat]
[1:46:35] >> Sure.
[1:46:37] But I don't I haven't gotten
[1:46:40] so public comment if um can you go live
[1:46:45] for?
[1:46:49] » So we're going to do a public comment
[1:46:52] and then we'll come back here.
[1:46:59] » You guys are welcome to give comment and
[1:47:01] fill the form out after.
[1:47:02] >> Okay.
[1:47:03] >> If you want.
[1:47:04] >> Sure.
[1:47:05] >> Your preference. that.
[1:47:07] >> So I will while you're doing that, I'm
[1:47:09] just going to go over the ground rules
[1:47:11] again to remind everybody. So that the board of education wants to hear
[1:47:16] input from our community members at our
[1:47:18] meetings. In order to respect and
[1:47:19] preserve the time allotted to each
[1:47:21] presenter on the agenda, each speaker
[1:47:23] will be limited to three minutes.
[1:47:25] Speakers representing a group will be
[1:47:27] limited to five.
[1:47:41] Good evening. My name is Phoebe Buyers.
[1:47:43] I want to share some thoughts on open
[1:47:44] space and why it belongs in front of a
[1:47:46] schoolboard. Open space is scenery but
[1:47:49] also infrastructure. It is where
[1:47:51] neighbors meet, where families spend
[1:47:53] their weekends, and where children learn
[1:47:55] to be outside on their own. For
[1:47:56] children, the effect is measurable. Two
[1:47:59] studies in the proceedings of the
[1:48:01] National Academy of Sciences make the
[1:48:03] point. The first tracked primary school
[1:48:05] children over a full year and found that
[1:48:07] greater exposure to green space was
[1:48:09] associated with gains in working memory
[1:48:11] and reductions in inattentiveness.
[1:48:13] I see this in my own children and I
[1:48:15] suspect most parents in this room do
[1:48:17] too. The second followed more than
[1:48:19] 900,000 people and felt that children
[1:48:22] who grew up with the least green space
[1:48:24] around them carried up to a 55% higher
[1:48:26] risk of developing the psychiatric
[1:48:28] disorder later in life. The health
[1:48:30] picture is simpler than the research
[1:48:32] makes it sound. Children who live near
[1:48:34] open land move more, spend more time
[1:48:36] outside, and encounter wildlife as an
[1:48:39] ordinary part of growing up. That land
[1:48:41] is also somebody's home. Children who
[1:48:43] grow up alongside elk, deer, and the
[1:48:45] moose learn something the classroom
[1:48:47] cannot teach them, which is that they
[1:48:49] live inside a web of life rather than
[1:48:51] above it. A developed site can be made
[1:48:53] green again. It cannot be made wild
[1:48:55] again. Importantly, this research was
[1:48:58] not measuring how much open space
[1:48:59] existed somewhere in the region. It
[1:49:02] looked at the nature children
[1:49:03] encountered around their homes, their
[1:49:04] schools, and their daily lives. That
[1:49:06] matters here. Summit County has an
[1:49:09] abundance of open space and it is here
[1:49:11] because residents value it and have
[1:49:13] worked for years to protect it. That is
[1:49:15] not a reason to assume we can afford to
[1:49:17] lose some. It is a reason to recognize
[1:49:19] what that work built. Communities rarely
[1:49:22] lose open space all at once. They lose
[1:49:24] it one reasonable sounding parcel at a
[1:49:26] time with each individual decision
[1:49:28] defensible on its own. Some of the land
[1:49:31] this district owns sits right at the
[1:49:33] edge of that landscape where the trails
[1:49:35] meet the neighborhoods. Students,
[1:49:37] teachers, and families run, bike, ski,
[1:49:39] and walk there. They reach it on foot
[1:49:41] without getting into a car. Most
[1:49:43] decisions like this one arrive too late.
[1:49:46] This one has not. The land is
[1:49:47] undeveloped, and almost,00 residents,
[1:49:50] nearly 96 96% of them in Sim County,
[1:49:53] have already asked that it stayed that
[1:49:55] way. Preservation belongs on the table
[1:49:58] alongside every other option. Show the
[1:50:00] community the district's other land
[1:50:01] buildings. Ask whether a site is right
[1:50:04] before entertaining work can be built on
[1:50:05] it. Round Valley was once slated to
[1:50:08] become a 690 acre golf course community
[1:50:10] with the commercial center, a boutique
[1:50:12] hotel, and 600 homes. It is open today
[1:50:15] because an earlier generation had the
[1:50:17] foresight to protect it before it was
[1:50:18] too late. The 55 acres this district
[1:50:21] owns at the Highland Drive trail head
[1:50:23] sits at its edge gave that decision the
[1:50:25] same care. Thank you.
[1:50:47] don't have to stay.
[1:50:49] >> Thank you.
[1:50:57] Do we have someone next?
[1:51:02] Last call for public comment.
[1:51:06] Okay. All right. Going back to our
[1:51:09] regular agenda items now. Michael Santa
[1:51:13] get us our file title N
[1:51:16] and Jamie.
[1:51:18] >> Actually, sorry for
[1:51:22] >> Jake.
[1:51:25] » All right. Well, good afternoon,
[1:51:27] President Reed and members of the board.
[1:51:29] My name is Michael Santa Rosa. I'm the
[1:51:31] line coordinator here at Park City
[1:51:32] School District. With me today, I have
[1:51:34] Mr. David Fasler, who is a current
[1:51:36] assistant athletic director over at the
[1:51:38] high school. Uh Mr. Sheets, our athletic
[1:51:41] director, is actually finishing up a
[1:51:43] walk throughout South Summit to help
[1:51:45] host our first home game against a
[1:51:48] Morgan, otherwise he'd be here, so he
[1:51:50] sent me instead. Um uh I'm here uh today
[1:51:54] because of Utah law 53G-6-101
[1:51:58] entitled report action plan which was a
[1:52:01] law enacted in Utah 3 years ago that
[1:52:04] requires at the beginning of each
[1:52:05] academic year the athletic director or
[1:52:08] another administrator of each school
[1:52:10] shall report to our local school uh
[1:52:12] governing board uh a number of things
[1:52:14] and they're listed here on our report.
[1:52:17] Um typically uh specifically the number
[1:52:20] and type of intercolastic sports
[1:52:22] available at our school categorized by
[1:52:25] gender designation.
[1:52:27] The number of students competing in a
[1:52:28] gender designated intercolastic sport at
[1:52:31] the school also categorized by gender.
[1:52:34] The amount of spending that the school
[1:52:35] devotes to each gender designated
[1:52:37] intercolastic sport at the school
[1:52:39] categorized by gender. a comparison and
[1:52:42] evaluation of our designated practice
[1:52:43] and game locations for each of the uh
[1:52:46] gender designated interclastic sports
[1:52:48] and any information regarding the
[1:52:50] school's efforts in compliance with
[1:52:51] title 63G chapter 31 part two
[1:52:55] distinctions on the basis of set sex
[1:52:57] sets which is codified as title 9 and if
[1:53:00] there is any discrepancy between the
[1:53:02] [clears throat] male designated and
[1:53:03] female designated sports of 10% or
[1:53:06] greater an action plan that the school
[1:53:08] develops to uh address the discrepancy
[1:53:11] Well, uh much similar to last year,
[1:53:13] these numbers are consistent with last
[1:53:15] year's data and proportions.
[1:53:18] Uh to note, our coaches pay was
[1:53:20] increased over these last uh past two
[1:53:23] years. We did have some coaching
[1:53:25] positions that weren't filled
[1:53:26] completely, but as you know, Park City
[1:53:28] can be a difficult place to find coaches
[1:53:30] from time to time. Um and please note
[1:53:34] that our male and female teams have the
[1:53:35] same number of coaching positions for
[1:53:37] each sport. Um, as mentioned earlier,
[1:53:41] you can see the progress here for our
[1:53:42] softball and baseball facilities. Uh,
[1:53:45] this will provide more opportunities for
[1:53:47] our home games and practices with less
[1:53:49] travel time for our student athletes.
[1:53:52] Um, to note also women's flag football
[1:53:55] was added at the high school this last
[1:53:56] year, but it's a club level sport uh and
[1:53:59] not part of this reporting requirement.
[1:54:02] Also, esports uh was added as a co-ed
[1:54:05] offering as well. Uh sports have been
[1:54:08] also offered at Eker Hill Middle School
[1:54:09] starting last year uh to include
[1:54:11] basketball and handball and cross
[1:54:13] country and soccer will be added this
[1:54:15] particular school year. Um so our
[1:54:18] discrepancy between male designated
[1:54:20] sports is at 47.6%
[1:54:23] and female designated at 52.4%
[1:54:26] sports currently shows that we have just
[1:54:29] a 4.8% in favor of female sports here at
[1:54:33] Park City School District. Any
[1:54:35] questions?
[1:54:37] >> Yes. Actually, can we scroll back up?
[1:54:40] >> There's one
[1:54:42] guild wrestling.
[1:54:44] >> Yes.
[1:54:45] >> 12 over 12,000 first student. How much
[1:54:48] is that distilling our members?
[1:54:50] >> Probably a lot. I It's my understanding
[1:54:52] we just had one girl wrestler athlete
[1:54:54] last year, but the program exists and
[1:54:56] it's there and is available.
[1:54:58] >> I guess I guess what I'm asking is if we
[1:55:00] take that out. Yes. What does that 4
[1:55:02] point whatever it is look like? You
[1:55:03] know, we didn't crunch those numbers
[1:55:05] just because we crunched with our one
[1:55:08] athlete in that category. So, I could go
[1:55:11] back with Mr. Sheets and take a look at
[1:55:13] that.
[1:55:15] But the program exists. It's there. It's
[1:55:17] available for athletes.
[1:55:18] >> I'm not saying that just that that just
[1:55:21] jumps out. I want to make sure that's
[1:55:22] not distorting it over.
[1:55:25] >> Sure.
[1:55:27] >> Mr. Fer,
[1:55:29] girls wrestling is is growing. Tricks,
[1:55:31] the head coach amazing. recruiting soft.
[1:55:43] » All right. Yeah.
[1:55:46] >> Hope to see you all next year.
[1:55:48] [clears throat]
[1:55:50] >> It's another successful year and an up
[1:55:52] and coming, you know, getting more
[1:55:54] students interested in participating in
[1:55:56] middle school to to get them to uh to
[1:55:59] participate at the high school level.
[1:56:00] So, thank you all for your time. Right.
[1:56:11] Next up, we got
[1:56:17] » Hey everyone, good to see you. You have
[1:56:20] to bring the
[1:56:21] >> Well,
[1:56:23] [laughter]
[1:56:23] heading to Jeremy to pick up the other.
[1:56:27] Um, thank you all for having me this
[1:56:28] afternoon. I was supposed to be here in
[1:56:31] June. I did not have a fire, but we had
[1:56:33] a flood and so that's why I was not
[1:56:35] here. Also needed to be vacated. A lot
[1:56:38] of house vacations this year, not good
[1:56:41] ones. Um really appreciate our
[1:56:43] partnership and just wanted to report to
[1:56:45] you all on our work from last school
[1:56:47] year and a little bit about the work
[1:56:49] that we'll be doing this year.
[1:56:55] I think most of you know who we are, but
[1:56:57] just um for those who don't, uh we're an
[1:56:59] independent nonprofit organization. We
[1:57:02] exist to fund and support
[1:57:03] educatorpowered initiatives that inspire
[1:57:05] all brick city students to reach their
[1:57:07] academic and lifelong potential. And on
[1:57:10] an exciting note, we've been doing this
[1:57:11] work for 40 years. This is our 40th
[1:57:13] anniversary uh as an organization. We
[1:57:16] were founded back in 1986 by a group of
[1:57:18] parents and educators who wanted to
[1:57:21] infuse incredible funds into our
[1:57:23] schools. And so we're excited to
[1:57:25] celebrate that milestone this year.
[1:57:29] During our last strategic planning
[1:57:32] process back in 2024 2025 school year,
[1:57:35] uh we refined our funding priorities to
[1:57:38] four areas that if you notice closely
[1:57:41] align with the school district's
[1:57:43] priorities and portrait of a graduate.
[1:57:45] Um these are four current funding
[1:57:48] priorities. So closing the opportunity
[1:57:50] gap, elevating educators, um
[1:57:52] personalized learning and real world
[1:57:54] learning. And so every program that we
[1:57:56] fund needs to support at least one or
[1:57:59] more of these uh focus areas. And we'll
[1:58:02] talk a little bit more about those
[1:58:03] specific programs in a couple minutes.
[1:58:08] Um we make uh our funds we how we fund
[1:58:12] uh is through grants and we have four
[1:58:14] different categories of grants. So
[1:58:16] express classroom grants uh classroom
[1:58:19] grants, innovation grants and sustaining
[1:58:20] grants. So, our express classroom grants
[1:58:23] and our classroom grants go directly to
[1:58:25] support classroom teachers and those um
[1:58:29] vary in size. So, our express classroom
[1:58:32] grants are up to $2,000 per award and
[1:58:35] teachers can start asking for those
[1:58:37] funds from the very first day they're
[1:58:39] back on contract all the way till the
[1:58:41] end of the school year. Our classroom
[1:58:43] grants are a little bit larger in size,
[1:58:45] but we have those on an annual basis. So
[1:58:47] teachers request those funds in the
[1:58:50] spring for funding the following school
[1:58:52] year. Um and uh that is an amazing
[1:58:56] process we Lindsay used to um spearhead
[1:58:58] as classroom grant chair and um it's all
[1:59:02] educators and students uh who sit on
[1:59:04] that committee and make the decisions
[1:59:06] about where funding gets awarded. And
[1:59:10] then our innovation grants and
[1:59:11] sustaining grants um are available at a
[1:59:14] school level or a district level um for
[1:59:16] larger scale programs. Um innovation
[1:59:19] grants are are new for us. This also
[1:59:21] came out of our strategic planning
[1:59:23] process. We saw a need to be more
[1:59:26] flexible and responsive to larger scale
[1:59:28] requests from the district. And so we
[1:59:32] have uh allocated this year $225,000
[1:59:35] to award throughout the year. as
[1:59:37] requests come in. Our board will be
[1:59:39] considering the first request um this
[1:59:42] Thursday at our first board meeting of
[1:59:43] the year. Um and then sustaining grants
[1:59:46] are multi-year. So we have a lot of you
[1:59:49] know programs that we've been funding
[1:59:51] for a number of years that are I would
[1:59:53] say integral to the the work that's
[1:59:55] going on in the school district and work
[1:59:56] that we care about as an organization.
[1:59:59] And so um we uh award these on a
[2:00:02] recurring basis. Um this is an example
[2:00:04] of this is the after school program to
[2:00:06] support in a meaningful way.
[2:00:11] Okay. Um so going back to kind of our four areas and where programs that
[2:00:16] we fund fit into each one. I wanted to
[2:00:20] um call out a couple of ones in bold.
[2:00:22] It's a little hard to bold but uh that
[2:00:24] are either new or evolved. This year
[2:00:26] we're starting an educator task force
[2:00:28] and this is a group of about 12 teachers
[2:00:30] from every school u represented that
[2:00:33] will um you know infuse educator voice
[2:00:36] into the work we do. We have a hard time
[2:00:39] having educators in our board given when
[2:00:41] we meet it's during the school day. We
[2:00:42] don't want to take teachers out of
[2:00:43] classes and we still need a lot of their
[2:00:46] feedback on what we're doing and how to
[2:00:47] improve um personalized learning. So
[2:00:50] this year we're supporting with the
[2:00:52] elementary LS sorry LCSSW position um so
[2:00:57] that every elementary school has its own
[2:01:00] LCSSW and the district is also uh
[2:01:03] supporting that. So thank you. That's
[2:01:04] incredibly important. The freshman
[2:01:07] success coordinator is a new role this
[2:01:09] year that's supporting with that
[2:01:11] transition from 8th grade to 9th grade
[2:01:13] which we know is a tricky one for
[2:01:14] students.
[2:01:16] And then we've been funding the
[2:01:18] elementary visual arts program for a
[2:01:20] really long time. And this year, for the
[2:01:22] first time, the district's taking that
[2:01:24] kind of over and integrating that into
[2:01:26] the academic day in a more meaningful
[2:01:28] way um than we've been able to do in the
[2:01:30] past. And we're really excited about
[2:01:32] that um that change and that integration
[2:01:35] into the academics at every elementary
[2:01:38] school, which is also a shift. Um this
[2:01:40] is going to be at every single
[2:01:41] elementary school for the first time.
[2:01:44] So, thank you for that change.
[2:01:48] >> Oh, no. I don't know what happened to
[2:01:49] this slide.
[2:01:52] Um, last year we invested $1.8 million
[2:01:56] into uh the district. I don't know. I
[2:01:59] don't not sure what that is. Um and uh
[2:02:03] we also supported our PTO's PTAs um
[2:02:06] through $41,000 that went back to the
[2:02:09] schools uh through you know different
[2:02:11] awards and and fundraisers and their
[2:02:13] support there. So um appreciate that
[2:02:16] partnership very much with OPTO's.
[2:02:20] [clears throat]
[2:02:21] And then this year as we think about um
[2:02:24] I'm sorry last year as we think about
[2:02:26] where we supported uh early and out of
[2:02:29] school learning opportunities. So
[2:02:31] significant amount of our support um
[2:02:33] goes to sport preschool as well as the
[2:02:34] afterchool program. Really thrilled to
[2:02:36] see the expansion uh of both programs by
[2:02:39] offering full day to three both three
[2:02:42] and four-year-olds and then the
[2:02:43] afterchool program for preschoolers. I
[2:02:45] think that really supported the
[2:02:47] enrollment expansion that we saw. Um and
[2:02:50] it's it's exciting to see how many
[2:02:52] students 288 um enrolled for preschool,
[2:02:55] 600 um uh for after school last year,
[2:02:59] which was um I think the largest
[2:03:02] class of students I've started in the
[2:03:04] program.
[2:03:07] Um last year was also the first year of
[2:03:09] our expanded Bright Futures program um
[2:03:12] from the high school. So, we fully
[2:03:13] funded a position, the Bright Futures
[2:03:16] Counselor position, which embedded that
[2:03:17] first generation support directly into
[2:03:20] the counseling team at the high school.
[2:03:22] Um, and it also expanded access to every
[2:03:25] firstgen student starting in freshman
[2:03:27] year. Um, so we really saw kind of the
[2:03:30] power of the partnership and the belief
[2:03:31] in every student's potential in this
[2:03:34] expansion. uh the firstgen students
[2:03:36] within this um most recent senior year
[2:03:39] class had a 36% increase in college
[2:03:42] metriculation as compared to the class
[2:03:45] of 2025 and every graduate had a plan.
[2:03:48] So whether that was you know college
[2:03:51] workforce military our um Pepper Elliot
[2:03:54] who's incredible really ensured that
[2:03:56] every student knew what they were doing
[2:03:58] post high school and had that
[2:04:00] intentional plan. uh we supported 233
[2:04:04] students last year which was 133% growth
[2:04:07] in that program's participation and I
[2:04:10] just want to call out the um again
[2:04:13] partnership with Pepper the dream big
[2:04:15] program at the high school all of the
[2:04:17] high school teachers this cannot happen
[2:04:18] without all of those people working
[2:04:20] together toward this goal so really
[2:04:23] appreciative of of all the work going on
[2:04:25] at the high school.
[2:04:29] We also uh want to talk about our
[2:04:31] classroom grant program. It's a huge uh
[2:04:33] program for us and how we got started.
[2:04:35] Um we awarded $270,000 last year in
[2:04:39] classroom grants for educator projects.
[2:04:42] Uh just a few of those pull and
[2:04:44] [clears throat] musical Finding Nemo.
[2:04:45] Such a fun uh joyful experience for so
[2:04:48] many kids. Um the RC league and EV
[2:04:52] showcase that happened at our elementary
[2:04:54] schools. Music programs at Eer and High
[2:04:56] School are a big part of our funding.
[2:04:58] special ed support. um the technology
[2:05:01] student association aquaponics project
[2:05:03] at the high school and then a hill's uh
[2:05:06] one book one school program last year
[2:05:08] were just a few of those um funded and
[2:05:12] then we also have supported CTE and PC
[2:05:14] caps since 2012 um including a
[2:05:18] significant investment of funding
[2:05:19] $350,000
[2:05:21] uh to equip the high school and eer CTE
[2:05:24] wings over the last two years and this
[2:05:27] has been an amazing uh facility in
[2:05:29] space. Um, we frequently try to take
[2:05:31] people over to see it. You know, parents
[2:05:33] don't get inside too often. And we also
[2:05:36] had a partnership this year with Auff
[2:05:38] Laboratories. We were able to bring them
[2:05:39] to see the space, which has led to
[2:05:41] student internships and and some
[2:05:43] partnership opportunities with them,
[2:05:44] which is wonderful. So, it's a great
[2:05:46] space.
[2:05:48] And then finally, we work to support
[2:05:51] wellness and honor our amazing
[2:05:53] educators. Um, so last year we provided
[2:05:57] positive behavior interventions. uh
[2:05:59] support sorry intervention and support
[2:06:02] funding at all of our school sites. Um
[2:06:04] we also funded a multi-tered systems of
[2:06:07] support coordinator at the high school
[2:06:09] which again focused on that 9th grade
[2:06:11] cohort. Um really generous funding from
[2:06:14] the Alnova Lewis family foundation to
[2:06:16] make that possible. And then we also
[2:06:18] last year funded all those yonder
[2:06:20] pouches all the students love uh at Neer
[2:06:23] High School. Um yes, you're welcome. Uh,
[2:06:27] and you know, one of the the I think
[2:06:30] most cherished parts of our work is
[2:06:32] celebrating our educators. And so we
[2:06:34] continued our excellent educator awards
[2:06:36] program. Those are peer nominated
[2:06:38] teachers at every school. And then a
[2:06:40] student nominated educator at the high
[2:06:42] school. One of our favorite days of year
[2:06:43] to to honor the work that they do. So
[2:06:46] thank you all for your partnership and
[2:06:47] your support and we're excited for
[2:06:49] another great school ahead.
[2:06:52] >> Thank you.
[2:06:53] for the time.
[2:06:56] Do you want to say just for a minute and
[2:06:58] talk about the PD date changes?
[2:07:01] >> Okay.
[2:07:01] >> So, next agenda item is changing our
[2:07:04] calendar for November of 2027 and
[2:07:08] November of 2028 in spirit of being good
[2:07:12] partners. Uh the Ed Foundation typically
[2:07:14] hosted the Red Apple Gala. Um,
[2:07:17] traditionally it's been in October, but
[2:07:19] due to constraints with availability of
[2:07:22] their site, it's been pushed into
[2:07:24] November. And to maximize the impact of
[2:07:27] that event, uh, we would recommend that
[2:07:29] we move our PB days because their site
[2:07:33] does not have availability on certain
[2:07:36] Saturdays. They're already booked out.
[2:07:38] So, we would move um November 12th, 2027
[2:07:43] to Monday, November 1st, 2027. That
[2:07:46] would be the day after Halloween.
[2:07:48] Teachers may or may not be appreciative
[2:07:50] of that.
[2:07:54] [laughter]
[2:07:55] >> And then November 10th, 2028, we would
[2:07:59] propose that that get moved to Monday,
[2:08:01] November 6. This allows the Ed
[2:08:04] Foundation to host their gala on a
[2:08:06] Saturday without it being backed to a
[2:08:08] Friday PD day where many of our families
[2:08:11] will leave town. So that is a decision
[2:08:14] item later on the agenda. But that is
[2:08:16] the rationale uh for why we're proposing
[2:08:19] that change. Uh we've also considered
[2:08:22] this with live give and not hosting a PD
[2:08:25] day on that Friday. We did that by the
[2:08:28] state last year. Um there's some belief
[2:08:31] that it had an impact on the giving that
[2:08:33] day. So we're trying to avoid those days
[2:08:36] so that those uh nonprofits can maximize
[2:08:39] their impact.
[2:08:41] Anything you want to add to that?
[2:08:42] >> No, I just know how challenging
[2:08:45] calendaring is and so we appreciate the
[2:08:48] consideration um in advance. Yeah, it
[2:08:52] still provides that weekend uh or
[2:08:54] extended weekend I should say by
[2:08:56] scheduling it on a Monday versus Tuesday
[2:08:59] or Wednesday so families can extend
[2:09:02] their weekend should we so choose.
[2:09:08] » Yeah. Well, we want to be good partners
[2:09:09] where we can.
[2:09:11] >> Absolutely.
[2:09:11] >> Yeah.
[2:09:12] >> You are good.
[2:09:13] >> Okay. Thank you.
[2:09:16] >> Thank you.
[2:09:19] So should we go to the consent agenda?
[2:09:22] Okay.
[2:09:26] So for the consent agenda, we have the
[2:09:29] regular session minutes of June 16th.
[2:09:31] This year, the close session minutes of
[2:09:33] June 16th, the social skills curriculum
[2:09:37] adoption, travel request, the Kimble
[2:09:39] Arts Centerou for elementary visual
[2:09:41] arts,
[2:09:42] the fraud risk assessment, schoolbased
[2:09:45] mental health support contract,
[2:09:46] personnel and board review and
[2:09:49] expenditures in July.
[2:09:53] Motion to approve the consent amendment
[2:09:55] that agenda as of second. All in favor?
[2:10:00] I have.
[2:10:02] Okay,
[2:10:04] moving right along.
[2:10:07] Got monthly reports from our student on
[2:10:10] the board.
[2:10:12] >> We're back. [laughter]
[2:10:15] >> Rocking and rolling.
[2:10:16] >> Rocking roll.
[2:10:17] >> Got a math test already today. We're
[2:10:19] going.
[2:10:21] >> It's on.
[2:10:23] >> This year with the freshman first day, I
[2:10:25] think it went wonderfully. I was there
[2:10:28] speaking on a panel with some of my
[2:10:30] other student council classmates. The
[2:10:32] tours went well. I think it was great
[2:10:34] for them to be able to scope things out
[2:10:37] without all of the other kids. I heard
[2:10:39] from a couple freshmen that they liked
[2:10:41] it, even if they don't want to admit it,
[2:10:44] but um that was great. Um this Friday
[2:10:48] the theme for the football games is
[2:10:49] tropical. And the first 100 people there
[2:10:52] do get a special shirt. So, if you're
[2:10:54] coming, that's something to look forward
[2:10:56] to. Um, club day is the 2nd and the 3rd
[2:11:00] this year. Our back to school assembly
[2:11:03] has been moved to the 9th of September
[2:11:05] instead of this week. Um, also hosted by
[2:11:09] Bright Futures on the 10th is their
[2:11:12] first gen student parent dinner. Um,
[2:11:15] unfortunately, the PCT is on the 15th
[2:11:18] for all students.
[2:11:21] Yeah. And then Our [laughter]
[2:11:25] homecoming football game is the 25th.
[2:11:28] The following night um is the dance.
[2:11:31] We're thinking glow in the garden, night
[2:11:34] in the garden. Think fairy lights by
[2:11:36] you. That was what I was told. So, so
[2:11:40] fun. And then um the smart watches and
[2:11:44] the phones this year, I think it's going
[2:11:46] great. Mr. friend was telling me
[2:11:48] yesterday he was trying to find someone
[2:11:50] to get in trouble during lunch, but
[2:11:52] there was no one. Everyone's
[2:11:54] >> complying. Um, I'm not
[2:11:58] >> he couldn't find anyone during lunch.
[2:12:00] So, that's a win. And then I haven't
[2:12:02] heard one complaint about the smart
[2:12:03] watches. I think people are kind of like
[2:12:07] it is what it is now. Um, and then this
[2:12:10] year we do have colorcoded IDs for the
[2:12:13] freshman are neon yellow, which I know
[2:12:17] um, the people checking the doors are
[2:12:18] loving, so they can't sneak out as well.
[2:12:22] And then it is a bummer we can't do home
[2:12:25] games on Doer quite yet, but we are
[2:12:27] thankful to South Summit for sharing
[2:12:28] their home field with us. And then Mr.
[2:12:32] fine was also talking to me the other
[2:12:34] day about kind of thinking about some
[2:12:37] affordable upgrades we could maybe make
[2:12:39] for those indoor sports students. So
[2:12:42] possibly maybe some teens rooms um two
[2:12:45] for girls, two for boys, but that's in
[2:12:47] the early stages and then just
[2:12:48] brainstorming. But that's maybe
[2:12:50] something to think about. And then um as
[2:12:55] always, the PTO does need more people.
[2:12:58] So if there's anybody watching or the
[2:13:01] message can be spread spread more
[2:13:04] volunteers are always needed. And then I
[2:13:07] also wanted to talk about our class
[2:13:11] inclass meetings that we usually do
[2:13:13] since we're now in a semester system. Is
[2:13:15] there a preference if we keep them that
[2:13:17] quarterly maybe do trimester or move to
[2:13:20] semester?
[2:13:23] >> I think we keep them on that quarter
[2:13:24] basis. Okay. and you will come.
[2:13:27] >> Perfect.
[2:13:30] >> We don't have dates yet. Um, if you have
[2:13:33] preferences, I haven't looked at the
[2:13:35] calendar yet. Um,
[2:13:37] >> do you want to send us some
[2:13:38] recommendations based on what you guys
[2:13:40] have scheduled during class time?
[2:13:42] >> Perfect. I'll get those out next week.
[2:13:44] >> Figure out.
[2:13:47] >> How's parking?
[2:13:49] >> Yes.
[2:13:51] [laughter]
[2:13:53] Talked to Mr. find the other day about
[2:13:56] the potential solution for next year,
[2:13:58] especially for juniors getting their
[2:13:59] parking passes. It was insane. People
[2:14:02] sleeping overnight. Um
[2:14:05] I got there at 4:30, but it didn't
[2:14:07] really matter because it was a stampede
[2:14:10] once the teacher showed up. Um
[2:14:13] >> so next year he is, I think, thinking
[2:14:15] about doing more of a lottery system
[2:14:18] with a potential attendance component.
[2:14:20] Um but nothing to announce quite yet.
[2:14:23] Um, the parking situation and exiting
[2:14:26] the parking lot is not the best. I don't
[2:14:30] think,
[2:14:32] you know, there's so many students
[2:14:33] trying to leave all at once, it's going
[2:14:35] to be kind of a zoo, but
[2:14:38] something to think about. Maybe there's
[2:14:39] a solution, maybe there.
[2:14:42] >> Yeah. Yeah. If someone was out there
[2:14:44] physically stopping traffic to allow the
[2:14:47] buses
[2:14:49] to exit then students, do you feel like
[2:14:52] that would help? At least in the Doer
[2:14:55] parking lot.
[2:14:56] >> Um, I haven't parked in the Doer parking
[2:14:58] lot yet, but I don't think there's any
[2:15:00] negatives to that.
[2:15:02] >> Um, last year you can see cars kind of
[2:15:06] trying to squeeze out and it's not
[2:15:08] >> Yeah, they're tailgating buses on the
[2:15:10] which is not safe. It's not safe and
[2:15:12] it's annoying and everyone is just
[2:15:14] cutting everybody off. So, I think if
[2:15:15] there was a parking monitor at the end
[2:15:17] of the day, that would be helpful. But I
[2:15:20] haven't parked there yet
[2:15:24] and things like that.
[2:15:26] >> Yeah, they would lose their parking
[2:15:27] privileges
[2:15:29] if they're cutting people off and
[2:15:31] driving erratically. So, what about
[2:15:33] Echo? Because I recognize there's two
[2:15:34] exits now, which adds to the congestion.
[2:15:38] I think a parking monitor in that lot as
[2:15:40] well would be beneficial. I have early
[2:15:44] release every other day, but when I am
[2:15:46] parking and leaving with all the
[2:15:48] majority of the students, it's just as
[2:15:50] crazy and I do see people left on that
[2:15:53] right turn only and it's busy. People
[2:15:57] are honking at each other.
[2:15:59] >> So, I think that would be beneficial.
[2:16:01] >> Yeah, thank you for that feedback.
[2:16:05] >> I don't have lunch time. Is it crazy at
[2:16:07] lunch time?
[2:16:08] >> No.
[2:16:11] » Anna volunteered another freshman first
[2:16:14] day as one of the whatever
[2:16:17] >> guides and she said it was really great. So,
[2:16:21] not a freshman, but she thought it was
[2:16:24] >> Yeah, we received lots of positive
[2:16:26] feedback from that freshman first day.
[2:16:34] >> Thank you.
[2:16:42] Do we have Mary? Anybody?
[2:16:45] >> Hey, I'm back again. Um, good evening.
[2:16:49] Um, I think most of you know me, but for
[2:16:51] those of you that don't, I'm Mary
[2:16:52] Morgan. I am now again the co-president
[2:16:56] along with Jennifer Riggs uh of the Park
[2:16:59] City Education Association. I teach
[2:17:01] music at Charlesside and am going into
[2:17:03] my 31st year of teaching overall. Uh Jen
[2:17:07] is a fourth grade teacher at Jeremy
[2:17:08] Ranch and has also been in Park City and
[2:17:10] a teacher for a number of years. PCA is
[2:17:12] truly appreciates the collaborative
[2:17:14] relationships with all of you and we
[2:17:16] look forward to more positive work
[2:17:17] together in the coming year. It was
[2:17:20] great to see our district office
[2:17:21] personnel in the buildings on the first
[2:17:22] day of school. Visiting the schools in
[2:17:24] person shows all staff and students that
[2:17:27] you care and that you show up. Um, so
[2:17:30] thank you for that. The two
[2:17:31] teacherdirected days on Monday and
[2:17:33] Tuesday of last week were truly a gift
[2:17:36] and we appreciate all of you for
[2:17:38] supporting that. Thank you. Um, we also
[2:17:42] highly encourage and invite all of our
[2:17:43] board members to come and visit our
[2:17:45] schools anytime as we come into
[2:17:47] negotiations again this year on the
[2:17:49] licensed professional agreement and
[2:17:50] salary conversation. Um, there is one
[2:17:53] thing that we would like for you to
[2:17:54] consider as we move forward. Oftentimes
[2:17:56] decisions are made at many levels by
[2:17:59] those who do not work in a particular
[2:18:01] job. We see that happen every day by
[2:18:03] members of the legislature making
[2:18:05] decisions on education without ever
[2:18:07] really stepping foot into a school or
[2:18:09] better yet working in lean. So I would
[2:18:12] encourage we would encourage all of us
[2:18:14] sitting in this room to substitute teach
[2:18:16] at least a few days a year. Recently, my
[2:18:19] hometown of El Paso, Texas, where I
[2:18:21] first started teaching in the El Paso
[2:18:23] Independent School District, implemented
[2:18:25] a program where all district office
[2:18:27] staff are to sub in the classroom a
[2:18:29] minimum of eight days during the school
[2:18:31] year. I would take that even a step
[2:18:33] further and ask the board members to
[2:18:35] also come into the schools and sub maybe
[2:18:38] not eight days, but maybe a few days in
[2:18:40] order to truly understand the challenges
[2:18:42] in the schools that teachers and staff
[2:18:44] face daily. Come and talk to the
[2:18:46] teachers and staff and learn the true
[2:18:48] ins and outs of what happens on a daily
[2:18:50] basis and why decision certain decisions
[2:18:53] are made at the site level the way that
[2:18:55] they are. We would love to see you.
[2:18:57] Thanks again for a great start to a new
[2:18:59] school year. Teachers have been
[2:19:01] preparing for students long before they
[2:19:02] were actually on contract and it shows.
[2:19:05] We have some of the best teachers and
[2:19:07] staff in the state and we tr truly
[2:19:09] appreciate the opportunity to work
[2:19:10] together to ensure they are well cared
[2:19:12] for and fully funded to continue the
[2:19:14] absolute best education for our sweets.
[2:19:24] » Yes.
[2:19:31] » All right, we're back. Believe it or
[2:19:33] not, I joked with our staff during
[2:19:35] convocation that I think somebody
[2:19:36] transposed the numbers in July and there
[2:19:38] are 13 days instead of 31 as it flew by.
[2:19:42] But uh we're back. We're excited. We're
[2:19:45] thrilled to have our kids the hallways
[2:19:46] and classrooms filled empty when they're
[2:19:48] not here with us. On Friday, August 7th,
[2:19:52] we welcomed our new licensed staff,
[2:19:55] approximately 25 new teachers to the
[2:19:58] Park City School District. Uh we spent a
[2:20:00] day at Utah Olympic Park. Oop, we took
[2:20:03] the chairlift up and gave them a glimpse
[2:20:07] of what Park City entails and embodies.
[2:20:10] So, in that picture, you see all of our
[2:20:12] new staff along with our instructional
[2:20:14] coaches, executive leadership, our
[2:20:17] principles,
[2:20:19] um, and other staff that supported that
[2:20:21] day. Uh each of our new educators gets a
[2:20:24] mentor, oftentimes their instructional
[2:20:27] coach to ensure that they are not left
[2:20:30] to figure out things on their own. And
[2:20:33] as you well know, we they get a
[2:20:34] competitive start. Our starting salaries
[2:20:36] for new teachers exceed $76,000 with a
[2:20:40] bachelor's degree and $83,000 with a
[2:20:42] master's degree. and we give them their
[2:20:44] years of all of their years of
[2:20:46] experience which is something unique uh
[2:20:49] to Park City that we started a couple of
[2:20:51] years ago. It used to be that you only
[2:20:53] got up to seven years and we expanded
[2:20:55] that to attract and retain high quality
[2:20:58] professionals.
[2:21:00] AP exam results. Um this is one piece of
[2:21:05] data that gets released in July um and
[2:21:08] not in the middle of a school year. So
[2:21:10] this is the data from 2021 up until July
[2:21:14] of 2026. And you can see there's been a
[2:21:17] steady increase in the pass rate. I
[2:21:20] joked with principal fine when he took
[2:21:22] over for retiring principal R about you
[2:21:25] that good luck. I don't know how you're
[2:21:26] going to increase from 87 to 88%.
[2:21:30] uh with more kids taking an exam because
[2:21:33] typically when more kids participate you
[2:21:36] see a drop in the pass rate and we did
[2:21:38] not see that. So 61% of all students in
[2:21:41] grades 9 through 12 took an AP exam and
[2:21:45] 2526 which is an increase of 41% from
[2:21:49] school year 2021.
[2:21:51] 88% of our AP exam takers passed at
[2:21:54] least one exam in 2526
[2:21:57] which was an increase from 76%
[2:22:01] uh in school year 2021 and then 79% of
[2:22:05] our seniors so class of 2026 that
[2:22:08] graduated in June passed at least one of
[2:22:10] their AP exams at some point in their
[2:22:13] high school experience. Uh we're still
[2:22:16] awaiting our AP coursework participation
[2:22:19] that comes from USB in September. Last
[2:22:22] year we were at 8%.
[2:22:24] Our hope is that we will increase that
[2:22:27] percentage. You likely saw the US News
[2:22:30] and Rankings report come out last week.
[2:22:33] That data is two years old. Um so the
[2:22:37] joke is that we are going to catch
[2:22:39] Skyline. We're just two years away from
[2:22:41] catching them. um because they
[2:22:44] consistently are the only public high
[2:22:46] school that ranks above us. We did
[2:22:49] increase um from the number five spot to
[2:22:52] the number three spot. Um but we were
[2:22:55] still number one in Utah in terms of
[2:22:58] college readiness.
[2:23:00] So much to be celebrated there with AP
[2:23:03] and the high school.
[2:23:05] After convocation, we always send out a survey just to say what did you like?
[2:23:10] We changed the format last year. We
[2:23:13] refined it even further this year. We
[2:23:15] did not post it on the first day back
[2:23:17] for our employees. We delayed it by two
[2:23:19] days to allow our staff to acclimate and
[2:23:22] also be inclusive of all staff. Um some
[2:23:25] of our ESPs don't return on that first
[2:23:27] contract day back. So we waited until
[2:23:30] all of them were back. And uh we
[2:23:33] recognize that we only got 142
[2:23:35] responses. We have approximately you
[2:23:37] know 650 employees. The survey is still
[2:23:40] open. Um, but so far we have received
[2:23:43] positive reception of the new format.
[2:23:46] Uh, they praised the short and sweet.
[2:23:48] We're in and out is about 45 minutes
[2:23:50] because we recognize our staff needs
[2:23:52] time. Um, it's very hard for them to be
[2:23:55] engaged when all they can thinking about
[2:23:57] is the lesson plan, getting their
[2:23:59] classroom set up, getting Canvas ready
[2:24:02] for the first day of school. Um, they
[2:24:05] also appreciated those meeting
[2:24:06] pre-preparation days. So, as Mary
[2:24:08] mentioned, last Monday and Tuesday, we
[2:24:11] directed our principles to have no
[2:24:13] meetings for licensed staff. So, they
[2:24:14] got two full work days in their
[2:24:16] classroom and we heard lots of positive
[2:24:19] feedback, but I don't know why I feel
[2:24:22] less stressed. I don't feel like I have
[2:24:24] to work this weekend because I'm
[2:24:26] prepared not only for the first day of
[2:24:28] school, but next week as well. So, those
[2:24:30] were wellreceived. There were some
[2:24:32] logistical concerns. The high school had
[2:24:34] scheduled senior parking passes as well
[2:24:37] as laptop distribution on the same day
[2:24:39] as convertation. So that created some
[2:24:41] congestion on Hearns Boulevard as if we
[2:24:44] didn't already have enough in the
[2:24:46] morning. Uh so we will pay attention to
[2:24:48] that. Um many appreciate the celebration
[2:24:52] of staff. Uh but there was a suggestion
[2:24:54] that we recognize those staff that are
[2:24:56] starting their 30th year um because it's
[2:24:59] highly likely they may retire at the
[2:25:02] conclusion of that year. and then they
[2:25:03] wouldn't be recognized that following
[2:25:06] school year. We did shift to a new
[2:25:10] training platform for all of policy
[2:25:13] review and all the state and district
[2:25:15] mandated training. It is called Vector.
[2:25:18] Uh we have had some growing pains, but
[2:25:21] uh we have gotten the coursework down to
[2:25:23] about 11 and a half hours for our staff
[2:25:25] to complete that. They have until
[2:25:26] September 30th to do so. Our goal for
[2:25:29] next year is to get that to eight hours
[2:25:32] while also providing a test out option
[2:25:34] if they are proficient with the content
[2:25:36] that they're to be trained on.
[2:25:40] Honoring years of service. So these are
[2:25:43] different groups of staff. So we had
[2:25:45] five years of service, 10 years of
[2:25:47] service, and 20 years of service. And
[2:25:50] then believe it or not, we had three
[2:25:52] staff members. And the way in which we
[2:25:55] recognize this, it has to be consecutive
[2:25:57] years of service in the Park City School
[2:25:59] District. So George Murphy who is an
[2:26:02] assistant principal at the high school,
[2:26:04] Laura RDE who's a librarian at Eert
[2:26:06] Hill, and then Annie Wallace who serves
[2:26:07] as our DLI and world language
[2:26:09] specialist. All three of them have
[2:26:11] served 30 years of consecutive service
[2:26:14] here in Park City School District. So we
[2:26:16] recognize them on stage during
[2:26:17] promotation.
[2:26:21] Again, we talked about the US News and
[2:26:22] World Report. You're up two spots u from
[2:26:26] five to three, second highest ranked
[2:26:29] traditional public high school. Uh and
[2:26:31] the ranking reflects strong AP
[2:26:33] participation and pass rates alongside
[2:26:36] our graduation and college readiness
[2:26:38] data.
[2:26:40] Enrollment numbers. So this was as of
[2:26:43] today
[2:26:45] um because they fluctuate and they
[2:26:47] change based on kids showing up, kids
[2:26:50] not showing up. So, we currently sit at
[2:26:52] 4,177.
[2:26:54] That is preschool to 12th grade. Um,
[2:26:57] we're down approximately 87 students
[2:27:00] from this time last year. Recognizing
[2:27:02] that, we will do our warm body count on
[2:27:05] October 1, and that's the number we will
[2:27:08] report out on. So you can see by schools
[2:27:11] we have 1538 at Park City High School,
[2:27:14] 944 at Eer Hill, 394 at Poland, 382 at
[2:27:19] Jeremy Trailside 348, and Paris Park is
[2:27:22] 358 and at the bottom you can see our
[2:27:25] preschool numbers. Um to speak
[2:27:28] specifically to open enrollment, we had
[2:27:30] 365 applications. We approved 197,
[2:27:36] 20 declined, and as of today, a handful
[2:27:39] that just haven't shown up yet. We do
[2:27:42] recognize some of our families won't
[2:27:43] show up until after Labor Day. Uh that's
[2:27:46] why this number is constantly changing.
[2:27:49] Um when you look at our enrollment, K12,
[2:27:53] we have 234 kindergarteners, but we have
[2:27:56] 390 seniors. Um, so that bubble still
[2:28:00] exists in our secondary schools. All of
[2:28:03] our secondary grades are 300 plus. Um,
[2:28:06] and we have seen some larger class sizes
[2:28:09] in our secondary core classes. We're
[2:28:12] keeping a close eye on those in the
[2:28:14] event that we do need to split some of
[2:28:16] those sections. We've held back some of
[2:28:18] our FTE just for those unforeseen
[2:28:21] enrollments that we sometimes can't plan
[2:28:23] for.
[2:28:26] and around the district. This was the
[2:28:28] first day of school. So, we took the
[2:28:29] whole executive leadership team. Yes, we
[2:28:31] made Randy show for us all around to
[2:28:34] every single school site. Uh we visited
[2:28:37] classrooms, we interacted with kids, we
[2:28:40] met with staff, we met with principles.
[2:28:43] Um you can see Principal Fine on stage.
[2:28:45] That's the freshman first. So, that's
[2:28:47] all of our freshman and the Eckles
[2:28:49] getting their first introduction uh to
[2:28:52] the high school. You can see some of our
[2:28:54] preschool rooms, some of our
[2:28:59] » So, he's one of our preschoolers. We
[2:29:01] told Cole, "You have to get a picture of
[2:29:03] him."
[2:29:04] >> Dinosaur on his shirt.
[2:29:06] >> Sweet. [laughter] But he's so deer.
[2:29:08] >> You see some of our Jeremy Ranch
[2:29:10] teachers there down in the corner. Uh
[2:29:12] they did something to their pants with
[2:29:14] their name on it, a design. But it's a
[2:29:17] lot of fun to go and visit all the sites
[2:29:19] and just be inside of schools with our
[2:29:22] kids on that first day.
[2:29:25] And then here is our theme. Um you
[2:29:27] likely read this in our welcome back
[2:29:29] letter to families. Uh we started with
[2:29:32] one PC last year. We will continue with
[2:29:34] one PC. Uh together we're on one path
[2:29:37] building one community. We know that
[2:29:39] inherently we are better together. Uh
[2:29:42] delivering one standard of elite
[2:29:44] instruction. Every kid deserves our very
[2:29:46] best every single day. Um, I explained
[2:29:49] to our staff, you cannot pour into our
[2:29:51] students from an empty cup. So, you must
[2:29:53] first take care of yourself to ensure
[2:29:55] you're very best when you're in front of
[2:29:57] our kids. And then moving at one pace
[2:30:00] that allows us to thrive for the long
[2:30:02] haul. We need to set a rhythm that we
[2:30:04] can sustain and move with intention
[2:30:06] throughout the school year. So, that's a
[2:30:09] brief highle overview as the start of 26
[2:30:12] 27 school year is underway.
[2:30:15] Okay.
[2:30:18] Questions.
[2:30:23] » How do I make my 10th grader by 108?
[2:30:28] >> Release Sunday. [laughter]
