00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,900
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the August 13th meeting of the Cory Valley UUSD Board of School Directors. Please all rise for the pledge of allegiance.

2
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:43,180
All right, thanks, everyone. I'm a different face up here for hopefully a little, just a brief while my name is Sarah Wellness Patulick. I am the clerk of the board and with our recent resignation of our chair and

3
00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:46,180
and our vice-chair who is not able to be here tonight,

4
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,800
I am just here to keep things running for this evening.

5
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:58,860
So with that said, our first business is to address

6
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:00,200
the chair position.

7
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:04,860
And we have a couple of options for doing so to put to the board

8
00:01:05,380 --> 00:01:07,900
and to decide how we want to proceed this evening.

9
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:11,840
So our first option is to elect a chair.

10
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:38,320
We do need to elect a chair. That is the order of business. So the question is whether we're going to elect a new chair tonight, or whether we want to delay the election until the September meeting, in which case we will still need to elect a chair, pro-temporary, hopefully my Latin was strong on that one, who will preside over the remainder of the meeting tonight and then presumably open the meeting in September.

11
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:47,080
So, those are our options and I would put them to the board to see which option we want to pursue.

12
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:51,620
I will make a motion to nominate Mike as chair.

13
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,460
Great, we have a motion on the floor to nominate Mike as chair and then you discussion.

14
00:01:57,460 --> 00:02:00,380
I think we should wait for Jesse.

15
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:03,880
Okay.

16
00:02:04,540 --> 00:02:04,820
Perfect.

17
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:05,540
I don't know.

18
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Sorry.

19
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:09,900
I'll be a second motion.

20
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,640
I have to go on the first motion first.

21
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:14,980
Okay.

22
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:17,360
So.

23
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:20,930
Feeling good?

24
00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:22,250
You have a motion on the floor.

25
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:22,730
Yeah.

26
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:24,110
You have to go on that one first.

27
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:25,490
Okay.

28
00:02:26,010 --> 00:02:26,990
Tom didn't make a motion.

29
00:02:27,130 --> 00:02:27,790
He made a suggestion.

30
00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:28,410
Okay.

31
00:02:28,410 --> 00:02:34,410
Um, so we have a motion on the floor that still needs to be voted on.

32
00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:41,280
Sorry.

33
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,360
I have the news.

34
00:02:43,420 --> 00:02:43,580
Sorry.

35
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:43,980
Any discussion?

36
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,080
Well, I asked for discussion.

37
00:02:46,340 --> 00:02:47,700
We had a comment.

38
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,860
Um, so on favor of Mike forward share for this evening.

39
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:54,300
All right.

40
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,240
I.

41
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:02,630
Okay.

42
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:04,010
All opposed?

43
00:03:04,610 --> 00:03:05,130
No.

44
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:06,850
Okay.

45
00:03:06,850 --> 00:03:14,630
All right, so the motion passes Mike will take over for me right now as chair, which is great.

46
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:15,570
Thank you Mike.

47
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:16,990
All right.

48
00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:17,810
Would you like to swap?

49
00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:18,670
No.

50
00:03:19,410 --> 00:03:21,950
All right, I'll say but.

51
00:03:22,230 --> 00:03:22,980
I'll follow her.

52
00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:26,940
I would entertain a motion to approve the agenda.

53
00:03:28,590 --> 00:03:28,770
So.

54
00:03:29,730 --> 00:03:31,470
Motion made by Lisa.

55
00:03:32,590 --> 00:03:33,050
Second.

56
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:34,450
Second required.

57
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:37,290
All of our favor?

58
00:03:37,370 --> 00:03:38,210
All right.

59
00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:38,690
There you go.

60
00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:40,450
All right.

61
00:03:42,450 --> 00:03:44,690
We're going to move into public comment section.

62
00:03:45,290 --> 00:03:48,210
The chair will allow two minutes for public comment.

63
00:03:49,010 --> 00:03:52,290
Is there any one in person that would like to make a comment first?

64
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,300
See, none.

65
00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:58,820
Anybody online that would like to make a comment?

66
00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:02,630
See, none.

67
00:04:03,590 --> 00:04:07,430
We'll then move to general consent agenda.

68
00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:09,950
I'm going to turn the motion for that.

69
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:13,230
Lisa?

70
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,460
Well, on favor?

71
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,280
Hi.

72
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:18,520
And you're both?

73
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:19,880
Same?

74
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:20,420
Okay.

75
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:26,300
I would turn the motion to approve the minutes of July 9th, 2026.

76
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,100
The chair wasn't here, so you won't be building on that.

77
00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:33,240
I think the motion to approve the minutes for July 9th.

78
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Any additions, corrections, and relations to that?

79
00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:37,960
Did you notice?

80
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Nope.

81
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:42,960
Any discussion on favour?

82
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:43,780
Aye.

83
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,580
Any opposed?

84
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:46,220
All right.

85
00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:48,080
Approval of Lawrence.

86
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:50,640
Check Lawrence 645.

87
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,180
Check Lawrence 646.

88
00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:54,700
Check Lawrence 648.

89
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,340
Check Lawrence 649.

90
00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:59,280
The numbers are corresponding there.

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,000
Any questions?

92
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,020
It concerns about that.

93
00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:04,400
There are a team of motion to accept.

94
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:07,680
So moved.

95
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,100
Please.

96
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:12,800
give you a discussion on favour?

97
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:13,100
Hi.

98
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:14,900
Okay.

99
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:16,780
Personnel.

100
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,520
We have a professional or a several professional, right, Chris?

101
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,380
Yes.

102
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:24,220
Okay.

103
00:05:25,540 --> 00:05:38,200
As noted in your packet, we have three folks who have been submitted for a professional staff that need to be loaded on by the board.

104
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,960
Any questions for Chris concerning that?

105
00:05:45,940 --> 00:05:47,540
I guarantee an emotion to approve.

106
00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:55,540
I'll make a motion to approve the professional staff who is contracts have been recommended.

107
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:57,300
Any other discussion?

108
00:05:58,460 --> 00:05:59,060
All in favour?

109
00:05:59,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Aye.

110
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,160
Let's see.

111
00:06:04,580 --> 00:06:04,940
Reports.

112
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:06,580
We've done a super chance report.

113
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:08,700
Thanks, Mike.

114
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:10,700
So I have a few items.

115
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:18,400
It is a summer time where just getting things ready to go, I know that the admins can talk a little bit about the building preparations here.

116
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:25,000
There is one item I just want to update around the Southwest CISA Cooperative Education Services.

117
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,820
We did have our first meeting last week and you had a chance to view it.

118
00:06:32,660 --> 00:06:37,020
They seem like the meeting was close to hours and we walked out of there.

119
00:06:37,020 --> 00:06:43,880
I think with more questions and answers, we're still trying to set bylaws, we're still trying

120
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,240
to figure out what's next step to the round budgeting.

121
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:48,880
I did share the concern.

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,560
That was across the Aussie board meeting around timing of meetings.

123
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,840
But the meetings are going to be held the third Friday's at 8am, which is in trying

124
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:01,700
to make it earlier, so people can attend.

125
00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:08,940
The goal would be to provide a uniform report at our S.E. board meeting, and also all local

126
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:11,440
boards will get as well as a move forward.

127
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,660
But as I stated at the meeting,

128
00:07:16,780 --> 00:07:19,120
there's a lot of great work that can be done.

129
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:25,320
It's just a question in terms of, you know, what sort of red tape or sort of parameters

130
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,580
are in place that allow us to do that work.

131
00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:29,400
That could change the idea.

132
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:50,800
I did express to the CESA board is initially, this is what will be a CESA board supposed to be putting a place to reduce cost for member districts and members use, and it seems as if the initial cost will make me asking our local districts or local use to pay some cost.

133
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:58,100
So that's sort of the way to take a look at around services or on staffing, but we will be

134
00:07:58,100 --> 00:07:59,240
bringing back information.

135
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:06,280
I said to local boards to the SU just for opinions, for thoughts, for perspectives around

136
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,580
how we move forward.

137
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,460
I ask a question about that.

138
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:16,060
So the CISA's were given some kind of like seed funding to get started, so you're saying that

139
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:22,500
an additional contribution from us use might happen sooner than later or more at the same time.

140
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,660
Right, so there's $15,000 which was still a way to see like terms how that really

141
00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:32,480
kind of spelled out and then there's $50,000 which was supposed to be used towards the appointment

142
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:39,000
of an executive director and as we looked at just what the expectations of that individual

143
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,440
is.

144
00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:44,800
We really don't have job descriptions, you know, time and I know there is a motion to just

145
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:50,040
like a hundred thousand dollars for this individual, but we felt it was necessary fair to start

146
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,420
put a dollar amount and we really don't know what the expertise of that position or that, that

147
00:08:54,420 --> 00:09:00,620
might be just a high number or it could be very low, we just don't know, but we thought we'd just

148
00:09:00,620 --> 00:09:14,280
to shelve that. But you look at hiring legal, you know, the exact director, look at that there's a

149
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,840
money might be more than what they want.

150
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,320
Not enough to cover what's needed to get started.

151
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:22,800
Correct.

152
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:29,080
And if we look at our budget cycle lays out that the real way you offset the cost is by

153
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:36,120
looking at for ways to reduce or across our districts in the region in order to do that,

154
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,180
it's going to be very difficult for this budget cycle.

155
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:41,980
As we look at the following year, we could easily look at, say, just, you know, from

156
00:09:41,980 --> 00:09:48,500
facility standpoint, text standpoint, social education, you know, financial, ways to reduce

157
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:54,460
costs, ways to, you know, just, you know, particularly pulling services, programs, but that's

158
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:58,200
difficult to do when we really have to start looking at our budgets for, you know, this fall already,

159
00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:11,940
so it'd be really for the FY28. So, you know, if we were going to do it the right way. But you know,

160
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:18,240
We're creating an act of 170 drop down on our websites, which will have

161
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,640
access to all this information around what act of activity is and the

162
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,340
merger committees and the CSAs and there will be a link to that we have a

163
00:10:25,340 --> 00:10:31,540
CSA website which will house the recordings of the videos and minutes as well as

164
00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:34,460
the shared reports once we develop those to bring back to the boards.

165
00:10:35,740 --> 00:10:38,380
And we also look at doing a potential FAQ.

166
00:10:38,380 --> 00:10:43,020
somewhere we've done with our own budget page but hopefully we'll get some more

167
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,120
I think he's about this but I'm sure there'll be a lot of questions on the

168
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,940
community members or our board about what what this is and how do we really take

169
00:10:50,940 --> 00:10:55,240
advantage of that but right now we don't there weren't a lot of answers and that's

170
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,460
not just with RSC side I think all the other ceases and same sort of questions I

171
00:10:59,460 --> 00:11:03,720
think as well but our goal is to be physically responsible and like I said before

172
00:11:04,340 --> 00:11:07,880
really is to look at ways to look for a college of scale and efficiencies across

173
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,920
districts and not to increase costs to our community or taxpayers. It's ways to reduce costs by

174
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:21,580
still providing programs services to our schools. It did seem a bit of the takeaway from some

175
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:30,100
superintendents or they thought it appeared like it might just be another taxing district. And particularly

176
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:39,900
when there was such focus on the back of, I guess, direction-provided from the legislature and

177
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:47,020
or AOE who it appears because it's not something AOE supports that they're going to be

178
00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:56,920
much of a leader with these that, and I thought that Rutland Superintendent said, you know,

179
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:03,140
have to belong but what if I don't need your services you know how do I go back and say that

180
00:12:03,140 --> 00:12:11,960
this is me being physically responsible so it does seem like it would almost be impossible I would

181
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:17,860
think for this board to come and ask for us to budget money for the next fiscal year there are

182
00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:25,820
so many questions that need to be answered and I don't see how any board would be physically responsible

183
00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:33,960
and giving money to an entity that actually isn't even developed.

184
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:41,000
You don't have bank accounts, you don't have any kind of source like that,

185
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,440
and when it's almost like it was developed,

186
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,940
and now underneath that issues are going to be the funding source,

187
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,520
and to me that doesn't seem necessarily responsible.

188
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:59,300
so. Shocking as it is, this was one place last year in legislative session that I supported

189
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:07,340
so that I think this is simply just another hand over the top of us doing exactly what we're

190
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:15,980
already doing within our issues. Correct. So no, I think that's, that was the takeaway,

191
00:13:15,980 --> 00:13:24,040
as well as that. If we are going to do this right, we need to be strategic, we have to

192
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:30,900
be, and think about how we can incrementally build this instead of just, just, just move

193
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:35,980
forward or just, you know, just aggressively move into this. And really the first year may just

194
00:13:35,980 --> 00:13:41,100
be about formation, about, you know, visioning, working with our local districts, looking

195
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:46,760
see what's what's going on with our merger committees as well. And as we look at FY28, if we are

196
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:53,280
going to look at shared programs resources, then if there is additional costs, it's being

197
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,780
offset by cuts that we are making across our districts or we're going to, you know, said the

198
00:13:57,780 --> 00:14:02,540
redundancies or economies of scale are these efficiencies that we've found. So it's not that we're

199
00:14:02,540 --> 00:14:07,100
just coming back and saying we need more money because we're going to add this before we've taken away.

200
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:13,260
I think that's our goal is how do we be strategic about this, but not just move forward,

201
00:14:13,260 --> 00:14:14,040
you know, quickly move forward.

202
00:14:14,180 --> 00:14:20,760
And I think that the problem is some of our legislators across the state have told us as

203
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,660
lawyers where the money is going to be saved, years where the cost cutting is, and so yes,

204
00:14:25,780 --> 00:14:26,460
that's true.

205
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:32,640
But it's going to take some time for us to really go through and assess where we're at

206
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:38,180
for each SEO or each district, and then try to find that money in, I know that we looked

207
00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:44,040
at, even just here in the RSU or all facilities, and we found that, well, the money

208
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:52,700
was not a lot, by doing this, but it may be something which, you know, regionally might

209
00:14:52,700 --> 00:14:57,740
be better, you know, bigger savings. And there are also what I will say this, we have a very

210
00:14:57,740 --> 00:14:59,940
she's a group too. And as we know.

211
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:15,780
All right, what makes sense from partnerships? Well, while we were looking at it's partying with, say, maybe, say, valier, rotten northeast, which makes sense to us, because they're originally, you know, very close, was a moment where we were out in city to engage in a partnership with a venue to run under the southwest of Vermont.

212
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:23,500
And if they during the merger, they go somewhere differently that it doesn't really make much sense. So I think there's a lot of dust that needs to settle here, too.

213
00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:32,380
Well, it also appears to me that the $15,000 is suddenly going to be a funding source for the existing

214
00:15:32,380 --> 00:15:40,440
CSSA, which legislature will then use as a misnomer that this CSSA has been very successful

215
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:40,960
in.

216
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:49,070
If every form CSSA has to now pay $5,000 to receive the benefit of their knowledge when they

217
00:15:49,070 --> 00:15:57,410
testimony, they didn't really show the data of where these enormous savings were.

218
00:15:58,770 --> 00:16:07,010
So I think that there's the ability for it to be a little misaligned to that, that has to be,

219
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:12,770
if all of the sudden this becomes the cease or whatever that one is or the Vermont learning

220
00:16:12,770 --> 00:16:14,450
the club or did, is that what it's called?

221
00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:18,030
We have that on Mount Olympus.

222
00:16:18,370 --> 00:16:20,230
Well, if everybody that's just been formed,

223
00:16:20,410 --> 00:16:24,070
just giving them $5,000 for them to put her out.

224
00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:27,350
You know, information that there's a little,

225
00:16:27,530 --> 00:16:29,970
you have to temper that as well also.

226
00:16:30,670 --> 00:16:33,650
So, and I actually think that that is information

227
00:16:33,650 --> 00:16:36,510
that should have been provided in the,

228
00:16:36,510 --> 00:16:39,630
what, 73 or 100 pages from the legislature,

229
00:16:40,030 --> 00:16:41,690
that they were so high on ceases

230
00:16:41,690 --> 00:16:44,610
that they should have provided a little more.

231
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:50,630
So, before we move on to whatever else the superintendent has any other questions concerning

232
00:16:50,630 --> 00:16:54,010
the CCM meeting or concern, yes, go ahead and state your name.

233
00:16:54,070 --> 00:16:57,090
My name is Megan All, can you spell what is CCM?

234
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:03,430
It's co-opener, it's an acronym from, I'm sorry, co-opener education services, yeah, association.

235
00:17:03,810 --> 00:17:04,510
So, it's been, it's here.

236
00:17:04,650 --> 00:17:10,530
So, New York has what's called a Bose user, it's, I know that the state doesn't like what

237
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:13,610
but it's a variation of an SEO.

238
00:17:14,170 --> 00:17:17,550
So it's very similar to what we engage in with our supervisor.

239
00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:21,070
We have local districts that pull together and share resources.

240
00:17:21,330 --> 00:17:27,110
We look at business manager, superintendents, assistant, superintendents, you know, financial offices,

241
00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:28,710
so it's sort of put it into the larger.

242
00:17:29,070 --> 00:17:31,030
It's like 10 or 8.

243
00:17:32,210 --> 00:17:47,970
There are, it's, it's Rutland City, Slay Valley, Rutland Northeast, November, 10th year, Rutland, and then Southwest, and then there's a Southwest Tech Center as well, which operates as a separate, that's a little bit different than what Stanford is here.

244
00:17:48,810 --> 00:17:55,850
So, and it's a very large, runs all the way from Brad and all the way down to the Massachusetts Board, so it's a large piece of land.

245
00:17:56,150 --> 00:17:57,950
It would ostensibly be sharing services.

246
00:17:59,450 --> 00:18:02,830
That has no home and no formation and no leader.

247
00:18:04,010 --> 00:18:04,970
Any other questions?

248
00:18:05,150 --> 00:18:06,050
I don't know.

249
00:18:06,330 --> 00:18:06,650
I don't know.

250
00:18:06,650 --> 00:18:08,030
Any other questions for Chris?

251
00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:14,630
I don't know if you watched if your George, I know a tenant from GRCSU and I was online.

252
00:18:15,290 --> 00:18:20,570
There was quite a vigorous discussion about the question well, what if you want this and I don't want this?

253
00:18:20,650 --> 00:18:21,910
Am I going to have to still fund it?

254
00:18:21,910 --> 00:18:30,050
So Chris was an advocate in slowing that thinking and saying, hey, we need to think this through

255
00:18:30,050 --> 00:18:31,790
how that process is going to work.

256
00:18:33,630 --> 00:18:37,370
They didn't seem to have any answer, legislatively, how that was going to work.

257
00:18:38,410 --> 00:18:45,090
So that's something we probably want to keep our eye on because somebody may say, I don't want

258
00:18:45,090 --> 00:18:45,830
to pay for this.

259
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:47,950
So, and we may be the ones who knows.

260
00:18:48,130 --> 00:18:48,710
We don't know yet.

261
00:18:48,890 --> 00:18:50,310
So we'll just have to wait and see how it goes.

262
00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:54,450
Well, there also was a discussion about how you're paying for if you're paying for people,

263
00:18:55,210 --> 00:19:00,270
and so how does the tax don't pay? Because it's already hard. It'd be double build,

264
00:19:00,350 --> 00:19:04,150
but you're actually very paying through. Yeah. And I think that's in establishing the bylaws,

265
00:19:04,210 --> 00:19:10,790
in terms of membership dues. Yes. The draft that was presented just was just around 80 out of

266
00:19:10,790 --> 00:19:14,470
which obviously you can't do that, because you have to look at, you know, split that up to either

267
00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:16,470
to stay a base fee and then-

268
00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:18,390
Right, a base fee is more accurate.

269
00:19:18,850 --> 00:19:19,910
A base fee for services.

270
00:19:20,510 --> 00:19:20,790
Absolutely.

271
00:19:21,810 --> 00:19:22,550
All right, thank you.

272
00:19:22,550 --> 00:19:23,510
I think that's the follow-up.

273
00:19:23,650 --> 00:19:23,990
One couldn't know.

274
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:24,730
Okay.

275
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:25,610
Thank you.

276
00:19:25,810 --> 00:19:26,450
Appreciate that.

277
00:19:28,050 --> 00:19:28,730
Principal's report.

278
00:19:28,930 --> 00:19:31,430
I guess we'll start with-

279
00:19:31,910 --> 00:19:32,850
So we'll go-

280
00:19:32,850 --> 00:19:34,330
So what I'd like to do is just have just-

281
00:19:34,330 --> 00:19:36,850
The principal's quickly just give a brief update if they would.

282
00:19:36,990 --> 00:19:39,410
And then I know at the end of the last meeting,

283
00:19:39,930 --> 00:19:43,990
a padded ass they question around or concerns around the-

284
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:50,870
student achievement and professional learning so therefore at least a Madison who is our

285
00:19:50,870 --> 00:19:54,990
assistant superintendent is on vacation this week but Todd Wade and who is Kirk and

286
00:19:54,990 --> 00:20:00,050
Courtney here tonight then we have a presentation which will kind of address some of those

287
00:20:00,050 --> 00:20:02,770
concerns and then we're going to do some follow-up questions if that's okay with the board.

288
00:20:02,770 --> 00:20:05,310
Do, yes sure. Okay. Okay.

289
00:20:05,950 --> 00:20:11,650
All right. All right so good evening everybody for those of you there in the audience

290
00:20:11,650 --> 00:20:14,510
some Chase Lanker on the principal of the West Rotton School.

291
00:20:17,570 --> 00:20:23,890
So following the format here, looking at student learning updates, we, I spent, while

292
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:26,350
Vick Capscores are in barcode right now.

293
00:20:27,230 --> 00:20:29,230
We've got them, we've unpacked them.

294
00:20:29,490 --> 00:20:31,590
Our staff is going to be working with them later.

295
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:33,490
I once are not in barcode.

296
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:37,650
I'm pleased with the results that I see, I'll leave it at that.

297
00:20:38,410 --> 00:20:43,350
We've been working on spring fast bridge data, which is going to be a dress later tonight.

298
00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:48,590
And we've actually used those to create our intervention groups for the fall already.

299
00:20:49,570 --> 00:20:54,870
Just like the other schools, the high schools we've been dealing with our cell phone lock boxes

300
00:20:54,870 --> 00:21:01,250
and getting those mounted and coming up with procedures and actually we have actually spent the time

301
00:21:01,250 --> 00:21:05,250
and I haven't talked to Joe or to Jen about it in detail.

302
00:21:05,250 --> 00:21:08,890
But we've been trying to troubleshoot as kids come in late,

303
00:21:09,150 --> 00:21:13,350
leave early, early dismissals, those types of things,

304
00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:14,990
and their cell phones are locked.

305
00:21:16,270 --> 00:21:18,550
How to minimize the disruption,

306
00:21:18,750 --> 00:21:20,590
and learning in grade 7 through 12.

307
00:21:21,070 --> 00:21:23,450
And I think we've actually come up with some pretty good internal

308
00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:27,890
mechanisms to not have this when Timmy Albusiness

309
00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:32,510
to go at 11 o'clock, and his phone is in his last block's class.

310
00:21:32,510 --> 00:21:35,390
So we've been working through a lot of that stuff.

311
00:21:37,370 --> 00:21:40,430
I included a copy of our continuous improvement plan.

312
00:21:41,270 --> 00:21:43,750
The board always looks at our handbooks.

313
00:21:43,870 --> 00:21:45,230
I know Chris had that.

314
00:21:45,330 --> 00:21:46,070
It was in the agenda.

315
00:21:47,230 --> 00:21:48,710
So Westwell and I've got the elementary.

316
00:21:49,130 --> 00:21:52,190
I've got the high school and I included the staff handbook.

317
00:21:52,550 --> 00:21:53,670
So folks can see.

318
00:21:54,010 --> 00:21:59,770
We actually also have a new staff handbook that is something that we've had for at least

319
00:21:59,770 --> 00:22:06,650
years now. New staff members come in and we find it very helpful with pictures of who to go to,

320
00:22:06,830 --> 00:22:12,650
not just their name. So we only have a couple new staff this year, which is really nice. Our

321
00:22:12,650 --> 00:22:20,170
turnover has been very, very low the last few years. So all of this takes a lot of time. We've also

322
00:22:20,170 --> 00:22:27,770
had, we started at our summer with a humanities camp, which had probably 16 people in it that

323
00:22:27,770 --> 00:22:29,970
Wendy Dauce and Andrew Keeler.

324
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:46,400
Mr. Middle School teachers run. We've had boys and girls club. They're all summer tomorrow is their last day. We've had electricians there working on the new security system, camera system that the board approved in the spring. Thank you very much.

325
00:22:47,260 --> 00:22:52,780
And we also have had our summer extended school year services for students and disabilities.

326
00:22:52,780 --> 00:22:56,540
So, everyone's like, oh, your building must be nice and quiet.

327
00:22:57,060 --> 00:22:59,320
There hasn't been a day, and I'm not exaggerating.

328
00:22:59,500 --> 00:23:04,740
There hasn't been a weekday, except for the 4th of July, that we haven't had students in the building.

329
00:23:05,380 --> 00:23:11,600
And our custodians have done a really good job trying to work around a lot of people in the building.

330
00:23:11,940 --> 00:23:15,760
There's literally a hundred plus students in our building every day.

331
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:24,280
So, hats off to those students, and we're looking forward to the school year, my back

332
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,520
to school nurse went out yesterday to both parents and to the staff, and then within minutes,

333
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,260
my phone is now ringing, and emails are coming in, oh, you're there.

334
00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:39,900
And they're all summer, so, but it's great to be able to hedge those issues or problems

335
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:43,840
that parents have, or staff have less than the concerns.

336
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,280
So, and sports started today.

337
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,040
So, and football started on Monday for the kids

338
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,480
who are going to fair haven to play over there.

339
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,240
So, it's been a very, very busy.

340
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,160
I have one educator who resigned mid-Summer

341
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,700
and we are actively working with Tammy

342
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:10,680
and our special ed department to fill that position

343
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,500
we're interviewing actually next week.

344
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:16,600
So, yeah, lots going on if there's any questions.

345
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:19,000
There's a lot of information in these links

346
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,260
that I've given you, too.

347
00:24:20,580 --> 00:24:22,040
Any questions for Principal Jay?

348
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,260
Anything I have a question ask is did we mention

349
00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:27,940
destination imagination that E-out comes with that?

350
00:24:28,580 --> 00:24:32,220
I think I addressed it at the June meeting,

351
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:33,880
which seems awfully long ago.

352
00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:41,520
So our destination imagination team went to the world in Kansas City, Missouri, all fund-raised

353
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:48,720
hats off to all the folks like Velco, Green Mountain Power, Stewart and a whole lot of other

354
00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:49,780
folks.

355
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:56,460
They actually raised or were donate and private funds given so much money that we actually have

356
00:24:56,460 --> 00:24:59,740
all of our seed money for next year and we could go back again if we win.

357
00:24:59,740 --> 00:25:21,720
We had won the state competition, we were invited to the world, and our students took away a couple of prizes, and I don't remember exactly what they did, but we sent four students into adults to Kansas City, and they were the lone Vermont representative at Destination Imagination Worlds, and it was great to see their project.

358
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:24,340
And what teacher headed that up?

359
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:32,200
Wendy Dauft heads it up with a woman named Tonya and her last name is Escaping Me, who is a

360
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:32,840
dream mount?

361
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:33,440
Was it?

362
00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:34,180
Don't like it?

363
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:34,500
Nope.

364
00:25:35,780 --> 00:25:40,260
She was a she was her dream mount and she don't need Tonya from a bungill.

365
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:42,060
No, she's been very good mother.

366
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:42,860
Tonya Erickson.

367
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:44,340
Thank you.

368
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:44,820
Thank you.

369
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:45,580
That's great.

370
00:25:45,580 --> 00:25:48,940
Thank you Tonya Erickson.

371
00:25:48,940 --> 00:25:49,660
Tonya Erickson.

372
00:25:49,980 --> 00:25:50,220
Thank you.

373
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:51,220
Thank you.

374
00:25:51,220 --> 00:26:00,320
So they spend a lot of times two days a week, we actually have a 5th and 6th grade team, middle school team, and we're probably going to be moving into an older group next year.

375
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,900
It's a real hit with our students.

376
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:10,120
For those of students that are not thinking about sports, drama, they're looking for an outlet.

377
00:26:11,260 --> 00:26:18,540
This gives students with creative, very creative minds are really nice outlet for them.

378
00:26:18,540 --> 00:26:22,440
So, hats off to them, and it's a long-standing program at West Side.

379
00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:25,140
And that's open to all students in Query Valley?

380
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:34,780
Yes, it is. If they choose to come, it's been a big hit. We probably have 20, 25 people involved

381
00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:38,520
in it. So, it's a big hit. It's a big hit.

382
00:26:39,180 --> 00:26:40,800
So, yeah. Thank you. Yeah.

383
00:26:41,620 --> 00:26:42,160
Good school, Joe.

384
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,100
Oh, yeah, diddle, what he said.

385
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:46,020
What was that?

386
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:48,540
Joe DeBonis, probably high school principal.

387
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,800
Yeah, the summer has gone by quick.

388
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:55,020
You know, we were just, somebody was in today.

389
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,140
It's like, yeah, it's next week.

390
00:26:57,540 --> 00:26:59,140
We're, you know, new teacher orientation.

391
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,720
And next Friday is everybody's together.

392
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:03,640
And we're going from there.

393
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,300
Like, Jay, I sent out my newsletter yesterday.

394
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:08,320
I did send out letter at the beginning of the year,

395
00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:09,220
or at the beginning of the month.

396
00:27:09,220 --> 00:27:15,040
And I sent my newsletter out yesterday and the format we use of tells me like when I get 50,

397
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:20,400
I had 250 people look at it, and then less than 24 hours, I'm like, I don't think

398
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,560
I've ever had that before.

399
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,840
So people are like, I'm thinking that as people are excited to get back.

400
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:32,320
So yeah, but yeah, we have, we didn't have as many people in our building, but you know,

401
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:38,820
we had the ESY in for four weeks, over the month of July, we have REC department in there

402
00:27:38,820 --> 00:27:41,920
who's always great to see in our kids' work with a record department,

403
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,120
because it's pulling these records, usually up to six grades,

404
00:27:46,300 --> 00:27:50,140
so a lot of our kids' work as counselors with the kind of nice

405
00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:54,520
to see some of these kids that you see them in the classroom,

406
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,680
and in the hallways, and then you see them working with these kids,

407
00:27:56,940 --> 00:27:57,820
like, I can do this.

408
00:27:57,820 --> 00:28:00,180
This is as good, good for them.

409
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,160
We have done, you know, like I said, working on the handbooks,

410
00:28:04,820 --> 00:28:11,260
I know Jay and Jen and I and Ryan and Mark and Mackenzie spent a day

411
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:14,860
a morning at Proctor working on the coaches' handbook as well.

412
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,240
And we had several meetings with our, we really went through the core Valley handbook

413
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,920
for the high school this year.

414
00:28:22,620 --> 00:28:27,520
We do have our staff handbook, we're still, we just met, I just met with my office staff

415
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,680
last week and we're kind of just finalizing that too, so it's still on a draft form.

416
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:40,760
get that done, do it next Monday. So we're good. Yeah, we, a lot of work, the guys have done a great job in the building.

417
00:28:41,380 --> 00:28:46,840
Yesterday, we were working remotely, because they're doing the main lobby, so, but they got through.

418
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:51,020
And I think everything should be done. We're still waiting on the Paving Company, it's supposed to come in.

419
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:58,880
They're doing a job in Portland, so fingers crossed, they get a done before school starts, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal if it's not.

420
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:07,080
because it's self-ront and people can figure stuff out with that, but yeah, we're looking

421
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:13,280
out a lot of, I think we talked about it, we were here last month, but Jay and I and Tyler

422
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:20,100
and Liz went to a training about reunification if there was something we had to leave the

423
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:26,140
school, and that was very good, and I went with to another one too, with the, I love

424
00:29:26,140 --> 00:29:27,360
guys foundation.

425
00:29:29,860 --> 00:29:31,600
I don't know, I was there, I love you guys, the other one, I run

426
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,740
fight hide, take thing. So a lot of working with a lot of safety stuff, too, this

427
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:42,440
year, you know, our emergency preparedness, not a lot kind of stuff. But it's been a

428
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,620
good summer. We're looking forwardly. Jason, we only had two new hires, and one

429
00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:50,980
of them was in district. So they just came to us from Proctor.

430
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:54,240
And we had just, you

431
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,880
just approved our school nurse tonight, so we're ready to roll.

432
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:57,420
I do.

433
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,260
Any questions for Principal Joe?

434
00:29:59,900 --> 00:29:59,980
Yes.

435
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,940
What's going on? What is going to happen with the bears that we're off to think about?

436
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,540
We don't know yet. We're still having to do there. So we're still waiting to see some of the individual ones.

437
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:21,080
We're putting up like the ones that are like we're putting those back up the cross country and golf and that kind of stuff that they're more like individual not team ones.

438
00:30:22,500 --> 00:30:27,180
But we haven't really figured out what we're doing with them yet.

439
00:30:27,540 --> 00:30:33,060
so. No, I know. I know. They're still there. They're not. I mean, people come

440
00:30:33,060 --> 00:30:35,500
out and say I heard you threw them in the dumpster. Yeah, we threw them in the dumpster.

441
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,780
I mean, we have them there. They're, you know, we're just trying to figure out what

442
00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:45,000
we're going to do with them. So one of the differences from what I'm here is they should

443
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,460
go back up. I'm just plenty of room for them. Is that a PTO?

444
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:55,340
Is that a PTO

445
00:30:55,340 --> 00:31:04,260
Oh, I'm beingers came down okay and we had individual banners and then we put them all we put new banners up so like we just said state championship basketball

446
00:31:04,260 --> 00:31:13,660
And they listed all the years on there instead of having six different banners or whatever like that. So we did the jump. That's one thing we did.

447
00:31:13,980 --> 00:31:25,200
Oh, I did want to say two speaking of that we did meet with some community members a few weeks ago. We are pushing on officially to have our kids do community service with the town.

448
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:37,580
And then, you know, Mark was like talking to the coaches about and actually we met with him last year and it just kind of the communication just fell through because we have staff members and kids that, you know,

449
00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:41,460
like our national honor society and student council is like we want to do something.

450
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:45,300
We want to get out in the community what can we do? So it was a good meeting.

451
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:53,240
We met with a rotary and somebody else that has their fingers involved in a lot of the community organizations and you know as we were talking

452
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:59,940
like, you know, like, the chili cook-off and the lady was like, I have to sit there and take all these cups and put them in a thing, like bring them into the school.

453
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,560
You know, we got kids, you know, you don't have to be out in the public doing it. We can do stuff like that.

454
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,460
So it's great. I think, you know, we always talk to the kids about give back to the community because the community has been very supportive.

455
00:32:12,220 --> 00:32:19,520
So hopefully we can get this wrong, you know, with trying to do, you know, the community service with our students.

456
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,660
There you go.

457
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:21,920
There you go.

458
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,520
Any questions for Principal Joe, please document that stuff, especially pictures so we can have

459
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:27,920
that.

460
00:32:28,460 --> 00:32:30,920
Good for public relations there.

461
00:32:31,180 --> 00:32:31,680
Principal Kristen.

462
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:32,500
Okay.

463
00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:34,520
I think you all know me.

464
00:32:35,340 --> 00:32:37,900
All the members, all the visitors.

465
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,520
We, like, my colleagues, have been just getting things ready for opening day.

466
00:32:45,380 --> 00:32:47,100
Scheduling mandatory trainings.

467
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:54,080
Joe and I actually are going to be working together in October doing a re-unification training

468
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:59,460
should anything occur amongst either of our either or both of our schools, so they're

469
00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:03,340
going to come down and help us with that.

470
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,840
Our handbooks are completed, they're linked in there, the continuous improvement plan was

471
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,940
approved by the state, and that's linked in there.

472
00:33:11,940 --> 00:33:18,580
I've been going through files, and we've been creating class rosters, assigning new students.

473
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:25,260
We've registered as of today, 15 new students, which is a really good thing.

474
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,500
We're getting our benchmark screening schedules, you know, we're getting everything ready.

475
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,900
Nothing is set and stone, we'll run around the first week there and say when we're going to do it.

476
00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:42,380
Yeah, especially about the K-1, Kindergarten first grade.

477
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,940
Vietkap scores, I'll talk a little bit more about that after one Tyler talks about data.

478
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,340
Welcome back, packets went last week.

479
00:33:54,660 --> 00:34:01,880
We have Open House scheduled for September 60th, and there's a kindergarten meet and greet

480
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,820
next Wednesday, the 19th, from 2 to 4.

481
00:34:04,820 --> 00:34:17,100
And I would like to acknowledge their group of parents and sixth grade students that have been fundraising in the

482
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,040
Helpster Brain Campchinescope back this year.

483
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,200
So we're off to a great start for that actually.

484
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:23,100
Actually, I know you were.

485
00:34:24,820 --> 00:34:24,840
Yeah.

486
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:25,700
So that again.

487
00:34:26,260 --> 00:34:28,840
We're off to a really great start for that.

488
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,140
Say it again from the beginning of the organization or what was the genesis?

489
00:34:33,620 --> 00:34:34,540
What are you raising money for?

490
00:34:34,540 --> 00:34:44,340
Oh, I'm sorry. We're, um, trying to take the kids to Camp Ginger Gov. Um, so it's actually a trip that like me and my husband had gone on when we were in sixth grade. Where's that?

491
00:34:44,540 --> 00:34:52,940
Um, Lake George. Yeah. So something like we had like fun memories of. So it's nice to like have the chance to bring our kids back there.

492
00:34:53,180 --> 00:34:58,400
Okay. Any questions for Principal Kristen? Yes, Pat. I have one. Yeah.

493
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:15,880
At the last step, board meeting, the town crew, man there, manager, said that they were waiting for the elementary school to do the sidewalks so they could continue doing the work that they have to do.

494
00:35:16,460 --> 00:35:21,500
But the sidewalks is apparently something that is only for the grade school.

495
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:28,520
You had a formation on it. They don't know where it stands. Who is asking you about this?

496
00:35:29,380 --> 00:35:31,220
Show. Okay.

497
00:35:31,460 --> 00:35:32,060
And hold on us.

498
00:35:32,820 --> 00:35:33,200
Okay.

499
00:35:33,380 --> 00:35:34,420
It's the same as before.

500
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:35,180
It's the same as before.

501
00:35:35,180 --> 00:35:35,520
It's the same as before.

502
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,380
That we got a grant that they weren't a part of that.

503
00:35:39,380 --> 00:35:41,580
They had to be a part of that as part of the town.

504
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:50,640
And they were going to upgrade the sidewalks on our area.

505
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:57,800
I understand that. It's just I don't see there was a they didn't have anybody bid on it

506
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,000
They're supposed to do paving around the elementary school

507
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:06,380
A real or a that goes to elementary school and they're gonna wait and do the paving when they did the sidewalk so they wasn't where I want to be one way

508
00:36:06,380 --> 00:36:08,080
Yes, it's

509
00:36:12,060 --> 00:36:16,080
But that's what the last I was told is that and I was last month

510
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,320
They didn't have anybody that did on it so they were trying to find someone that could do it

511
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,160
hopefully with them the next couple weeks before school starts.

512
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,000
Okay, just came up with a blackboard meeting,

513
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:26,520
and I said I would throw it out there.

514
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:27,780
Yeah, if you don't hear these bulls.

515
00:36:27,780 --> 00:36:29,600
Well, again, it's a grant that we received

516
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,460
working with favorites to schools

517
00:36:31,460 --> 00:36:33,540
because our partnership is very high.

518
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,480
And the town was aware of it, but we can't get anything.

519
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:41,580
It's not, we don't control it.

520
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:42,520
Let's put it that way.

521
00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:45,000
It's the department of...

522
00:36:45,820 --> 00:36:46,640
I wish I could.

523
00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:48,760
Should be so important to see.

524
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,580
No, they had to sign off on it.

525
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:52,000
It's a...

526
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,180
Some of it's an incime grant.

527
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:54,460
Right.

528
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:54,720
Right.

529
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,360
We can all of the talent on the village.

530
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,640
We can put their help out.

531
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,820
Because there's an entity that has to be the signer for it.

532
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,240
And that's not us.

533
00:37:03,460 --> 00:37:04,700
That was probably the select board.

534
00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:07,920
They were just wondering what happens.

535
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:09,700
I don't know.

536
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,880
They're looking at, what are months?

537
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,860
We're going to have time to do that and be ready for that.

538
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,500
There's an issue with the road.

539
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:28,880
right directly out of the grade school that it's causing some problems. So I said I would just throw it out.

540
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:41,000
If somebody could at least talk to Paul or Joe, or somebody to let me know what's going on. I don't. I just thought, you know, I said, I would mention I would village meeting next Thursday so I can.

541
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:45,900
Well, there you go. I'm more. So would you follow up on that and get back to pack and pack and get back to us?

542
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:54,140
We met last month. That's what I always told is that nobody had been on it. They were trying to find someone to bed because they were trying to get the paving crew in.

543
00:37:54,140 --> 00:37:56,460
But now, like the last couple weeks of August,

544
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,720
to pay the poor school started.

545
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,260
Sounds like left isn't talking to right here.

546
00:38:05,020 --> 00:38:06,520
I mean, in Norfolk, I don't know anybody.

547
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,360
It's just, they said they had the status.

548
00:38:09,820 --> 00:38:11,820
Really what the question is, what the status, right?

549
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:12,880
OK.

550
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:14,960
First and I have a question for you.

551
00:38:14,980 --> 00:38:16,760
You said you have 15 kids sign up.

552
00:38:17,460 --> 00:38:19,180
Did you anticipate 15 or more less,

553
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:21,380
because sometimes I know schools have an idea

554
00:38:21,380 --> 00:38:23,800
about how many are coming and they get surprised with extras.

555
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,900
So we're in the ballparker.

556
00:38:26,180 --> 00:38:30,700
Usually we get abs and flows between five and 10,

557
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,440
15s, a good number, so we can see.

558
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,900
Yeah, good room and stuff.

559
00:38:38,140 --> 00:38:38,900
Could you help us out?

560
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,080
I don't know if people are coming the first day of school

561
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,940
saying hey, we met a talent in drilling, but that's

562
00:38:44,940 --> 00:38:45,760
going to destroy a kid.

563
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,620
All right, I was going to leave this kid before.

564
00:38:47,620 --> 00:38:51,220
I remember one year when literally there was a line

565
00:38:51,220 --> 00:38:54,520
out into the lobby with people registering on first time.

566
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:55,440
I remember getting that.

567
00:38:55,460 --> 00:38:56,200
For a problem out.

568
00:38:56,220 --> 00:38:57,460
Sometimes you can just play.

569
00:38:57,460 --> 00:38:58,460
And you can play them like that, right?

570
00:38:58,980 --> 00:38:59,320
You can play them like that.

571
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,760
You can just play them like that.

572
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,260
You can just play them like that.

573
00:39:03,260 --> 00:39:03,600
You can play them like that.

574
00:39:03,740 --> 00:39:03,800
You can play them like that.

575
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:04,200
Why excited?

576
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:04,920
It's a good thing.

577
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,760
Just a couple of days.

578
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,480
And we do have, you know, on our free cake.

579
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,760
We have a couple of kids on our wigs list.

580
00:39:13,020 --> 00:39:14,020
So we're good.

581
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:14,620
Where's that?

582
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:15,040
We do.

583
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:16,960
Any questions for Kristen?

584
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:18,400
Liz?

585
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:19,000
It's a little bit of a list?

586
00:39:19,020 --> 00:39:19,240
Yeah.

587
00:39:19,740 --> 00:39:25,340
everybody. So we actually have had no one in our building this summer for for seven

588
00:39:25,340 --> 00:39:30,380
few years, Boys and Girls Club was hosted at West Rowland. So the highlight of my

589
00:39:30,380 --> 00:39:34,980
summer has been when new families come in and they want the tour. You know, sweet

590
00:39:34,980 --> 00:39:39,080
kindergarteners coming in families first time, lots of questions, it's really nice

591
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,660
to be able to talk about all the great things that we have going on and what we offer

592
00:39:42,660 --> 00:39:46,640
for students. So that's been fun actually. I'm going to sweet little family again today.

593
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:50,960
hoping that they bottle it that energy and bring it back in few weeks as well.

594
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,580
So lots of that we've been able to get a handful of things done.

595
00:39:56,940 --> 00:40:02,320
Currently we are trying to repaint the hallways just the fresh coat of paint on everything to

596
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:07,800
brighten it back up. I have put out a bid with Louis working with Louis and our facility

597
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:14,400
starter Jamie Provo for parking lot paving so that went out into the hotel or we'll go out

598
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:19,920
with the scope of the project being two different possibilities.

599
00:40:20,820 --> 00:40:22,500
So looking to see what we get for that,

600
00:40:22,660 --> 00:40:24,700
it's been a long time since that happened.

601
00:40:25,820 --> 00:40:29,480
We have fence poles in for a new fence that's going around our free cave lake around

602
00:40:30,140 --> 00:40:37,060
and to kind of close off the playground that runs into the parking lot just for an additional layer of safety.

603
00:40:38,380 --> 00:40:42,720
So that's been a lot of, I've learned a lot this year, I am not a hands-on,

604
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:46,880
get me in there to do those kinds of things. So I've done that. I spend a lot of time looking

605
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,100
at the data that we had, re-looking at our literacy and math plans that came directly from our

606
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:57,660
step. That's also in the drive for you all. Just really ready to get everyone back in. I only had

607
00:40:57,660 --> 00:41:02,660
two new staff members this year, one instructional assistant and our behaviorist. So we've had people

608
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:12,520
in and out rooms are ready, building's ready, just waiting for our back to school barbecue on the

609
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,520
away since we were given awarded the cliff grant.

610
00:41:15,980 --> 00:41:20,820
So our official kickoff will be September 18th with author Ted Shai, who'll be coming in

611
00:41:20,820 --> 00:41:25,580
and we'll do a second book of a way, put in our back to school letter and the email I

612
00:41:25,580 --> 00:41:25,980
sent today.

613
00:41:26,140 --> 00:41:26,920
It was just noted again.

614
00:41:27,060 --> 00:41:32,280
Anybody in Proctor can come and get a book for that night, so really excited to see what

615
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,540
that all takes us.

616
00:41:33,780 --> 00:41:35,220
And our enrollment is Ebbing and Flawing.

617
00:41:35,340 --> 00:41:39,020
I didn't put it in for this month because, you know, we're somewhere between five and ten

618
00:41:39,020 --> 00:41:39,800
as well.

619
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:47,540
Sounds. I'll get you one for September. Are you good? Any questions for principal Liz? No? Okay.

620
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,800
We'll get that one. Oh, Jen.

621
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:54,620
Jen. I am online, but my internet is going in and out.

622
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,920
My soul is, anyone has any questions for the quiet people?

623
00:42:02,660 --> 00:42:07,000
So I have to answer any questions about the island on that one.

624
00:42:07,340 --> 00:42:07,860
Mark that down.

625
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:08,200
Yeah.

626
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,540
Any questions for the quiet principal Jen?

627
00:42:12,820 --> 00:42:14,100
The question for the principal Jen.

628
00:42:14,700 --> 00:42:14,980
The question for the principal Jen.

629
00:42:15,980 --> 00:42:18,940
Thank you for checking in on your vacation.

630
00:42:19,060 --> 00:42:20,380
That's above and beyond.

631
00:42:21,220 --> 00:42:22,540
So any questions for Jen?

632
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:23,880
All right.

633
00:42:24,900 --> 00:42:25,560
Go have fun.

634
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:26,300
I understand.

635
00:42:26,300 --> 00:42:27,920
What are you bringing me back?

636
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,280
All right.

637
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:30,940
Moving on.

638
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,880
So that's where I have to go.

639
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,280
Would you introduce yourself, please?

640
00:42:36,420 --> 00:42:37,160
So in your position.

641
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,300
So people who might be familiar?

642
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:40,060
Yeah.

643
00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:42,120
For those of you that I have not met yet.

644
00:42:42,260 --> 00:42:43,100
My name is Tyler Reederman.

645
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,680
I am the critical coordinator for the very early county.

646
00:42:47,020 --> 00:42:49,580
And so we can prepare a presentation for you.

647
00:42:49,660 --> 00:42:50,680
And I say we can do this.

648
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:51,680
I'm going to press hold on myself.

649
00:42:59,710 --> 00:43:00,510
There we go.

650
00:43:00,510 --> 00:43:04,950
So, basically we put together a presentation for you about our...

651
00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:05,830
Yeah, we do.

652
00:43:06,330 --> 00:43:07,580
Dad's a decision about our...

653
00:43:08,310 --> 00:43:12,150
Vincamp scores, and our fast race scores for each building.

654
00:43:12,810 --> 00:43:15,870
One thing to keep in mind is from...

655
00:43:15,870 --> 00:43:18,070
But you can define just the...

656
00:43:18,070 --> 00:43:19,010
Yeah, it's just sort of...

657
00:43:19,010 --> 00:43:20,470
Yeah, sorry with education.

658
00:43:20,850 --> 00:43:22,210
We have so many different acronyms.

659
00:43:22,650 --> 00:43:24,930
But the Vincamp is the Vermont Comprehensive Assessment,

660
00:43:25,430 --> 00:43:26,850
which is from Colombia.

661
00:43:26,850 --> 00:43:29,370
to come to the test out.

662
00:43:29,610 --> 00:43:32,970
That is our mandatory state testing that's done once a year

663
00:43:32,970 --> 00:43:36,190
to bring in March over a course of the couple of different weeks

664
00:43:36,190 --> 00:43:38,810
in ELA, and actually like it.

665
00:43:38,990 --> 00:43:39,630
Let's see here.

666
00:43:39,770 --> 00:43:41,070
We go ahead here.

667
00:43:41,510 --> 00:43:44,610
So right here, this is, I mean, about the cap.

668
00:43:45,470 --> 00:43:47,030
We started doing it in 2324.

669
00:43:48,010 --> 00:43:49,690
And the data you're going to see in this presentation

670
00:43:49,690 --> 00:43:52,050
is from 2025.

671
00:43:53,270 --> 00:43:56,130
We do have information from 26, but we just did.

672
00:43:56,130 --> 00:43:57,990
However, we're now allowed to put that out on the clear,

673
00:43:58,790 --> 00:44:00,790
but our buildings are looking at that information

674
00:44:00,790 --> 00:44:01,950
and they come into the decisions.

675
00:44:03,930 --> 00:44:06,430
Instructurally, initially, are based off that information.

676
00:44:07,370 --> 00:44:08,190
So we'll calculate that.

677
00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:11,610
So we're tested in ELA and math and science.

678
00:44:12,830 --> 00:44:15,250
And then our fast grade screeners,

679
00:44:15,570 --> 00:44:16,910
and those are done a little more regular.

680
00:44:17,650 --> 00:44:19,030
Those are done three times a year.

681
00:44:19,450 --> 00:44:22,670
That is a computer test that is typically

682
00:44:25,890 --> 00:44:32,470
about 15, 20 minutes, half hour, a period of time, and again, done in the fall, winter, and spring.

683
00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:39,330
And those are, we make a lot of education decisions based on how students are scoring on those assessments as well.

684
00:44:39,850 --> 00:44:45,350
So I'm going to turn it over to Chris and here, and she has the first school that I thought it would be easy.

685
00:44:46,630 --> 00:44:52,870
Okay, as you can see for Vick Have, there's an upward trend and we on ELI.

686
00:44:53,110 --> 00:44:59,190
It's I think it's 13 percent over three years, which isn't great, but it's an upward trend.

687
00:44:59,610 --> 00:44:59,970
So we're happy.

688
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:20,260
Christian, I'm sorry, can I interrupt you for a second? It's a little challenging to see what's what, just with this, the smallness of it. So maybe when you're referring to everyone, when you're referring to different timelines, could you just say, like, on the right hand side of the screen or the stuff that's in the middle or on the left, just so we do the kind of white thing.

689
00:45:22,300 --> 00:45:25,240
I actually can't read the labels on any of that.

690
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:30,390
Things like this come from our open architect program which all of our

691
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,300
missioners and teachers have, it's our data management system, and our goal

692
00:45:35,300 --> 00:45:40,440
actually was to add in a blue with it, but actually we introduced it to our teachers in March

693
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,560
as soon as it worked.

694
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:43,380
Was it March?

695
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:43,760
Yeah.

696
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:45,760
It helped us together.

697
00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:49,140
So we introduced the teachers in March and now they all have access to it.

698
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,740
I'm using a queer people.

699
00:45:52,140 --> 00:45:58,640
Okay, well, it's up in the upper left corner and I will just give you the I can give you the percentile

700
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,500
It's called the elementary school from

701
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:05,120
2023 to two was started at 46 percent

702
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,310
profession, which is not great and

703
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:14,860
2024 went up to 53 percent so there's some gain there and

704
00:46:14,860 --> 00:46:17,920
2,025's 59 percent so again

705
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,980
It's not great, but it is steady. Thanks, Kristen

706
00:46:22,140 --> 00:46:25,880
And if you also want to look at this on the graph on the right,

707
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:31,040
the green line is the school, the dotted line is the state.

708
00:46:31,340 --> 00:46:31,720
Oh, interesting.

709
00:46:33,140 --> 00:46:33,240
Thank you.

710
00:46:33,660 --> 00:46:33,800
Thanks.

711
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:36,700
So we did that.

712
00:46:36,980 --> 00:46:39,700
OK, for math, up in the left corner,

713
00:46:40,380 --> 00:46:44,400
math, it's surprising to me that we didn't make as much progress as we did

714
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:48,840
in reading because typically our school has always been more

715
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:57,100
deaths in math, so it's we're kind of flipping the grid there. 36 percent

716
00:46:57,100 --> 00:47:07,260
profession in 2023 went up 40 to 40 percent in 2024 and then the 2025 data,

717
00:47:07,460 --> 00:47:13,040
which is the last day to meet in New York, is 40 percent. So again, we're climbing up

718
00:47:15,340 --> 00:47:22,380
That's the best for us, fast or as high as we'd like to go, see our score scale.

719
00:47:26,140 --> 00:47:28,180
So this is where we are, fast bridge?

720
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:29,220
Do you feel it?

721
00:47:29,220 --> 00:47:30,220
Yeah, I feel it.

722
00:47:30,220 --> 00:47:30,920
Outward trends.

723
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:33,680
And so, go ahead.

724
00:47:33,940 --> 00:47:38,700
I was going to say that this is a graph of, for cents out at the nation over time.

725
00:47:38,700 --> 00:47:42,200
So how we're doing against national scores before we're done?

726
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:45,760
I know that's our greatest kind of small.

727
00:47:46,180 --> 00:47:48,360
And one of the right things is stairs.

728
00:47:48,940 --> 00:47:50,880
That starts at school year 2022-23.

729
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,580
And then it's currently here at 2526.

730
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:57,740
So that will be your ELI scores.

731
00:47:58,540 --> 00:47:59,820
Math scores, saying.

732
00:48:06,270 --> 00:48:09,730
Okay, I'm just going to take what I had written some comments

733
00:48:09,730 --> 00:48:14,010
for both of the BICAP and fast bridge.

734
00:48:14,010 --> 00:48:16,250
but I'd like to just read some things that I took out.

735
00:48:16,350 --> 00:48:18,170
So you've been happy to hear me just read from this slide.

736
00:48:18,310 --> 00:48:18,670
It's fast-up.

737
00:48:19,410 --> 00:48:22,770
So even though both the VICAP and fast-bridge data

738
00:48:22,770 --> 00:48:26,690
indicate a board trends, both individual, both individual,

739
00:48:27,150 --> 00:48:29,130
growth, and overall school proficiency,

740
00:48:29,930 --> 00:48:31,430
we know that we've got work to do.

741
00:48:32,010 --> 00:48:34,070
And plans that we have moving forward

742
00:48:34,070 --> 00:48:37,250
are to continue reviewing data during our PLC time,

743
00:48:37,510 --> 00:48:43,450
which is an hour weekly and during our MTSS meetings

744
00:48:43,450 --> 00:48:46,250
which are held once a week,

745
00:48:48,370 --> 00:48:51,850
and we use this time to look at the data and modify classroom

746
00:48:51,850 --> 00:48:56,410
instruction and intervention as needed. I mean, that's the best, best practice is used

747
00:48:56,410 --> 00:49:03,210
data to guide your instruction. School-based PD this year will include keys to early writing

748
00:49:03,210 --> 00:49:09,510
training. The teachers will need to work on modules, and we have a specific timeline set out for

749
00:49:10,430 --> 00:49:12,870
And we're going to be starting on next week, actually.

750
00:49:13,730 --> 00:49:19,630
And we also use time for peer modeling and sharing

751
00:49:19,630 --> 00:49:22,230
our lessons that we've created.

752
00:49:22,350 --> 00:49:24,670
You know, we may be doing a Bridges unit.

753
00:49:24,930 --> 00:49:27,190
And we Bridges, our map program.

754
00:49:27,770 --> 00:49:31,450
We may bring teachers in to share how they did share lesson

755
00:49:31,450 --> 00:49:34,650
in front of their peers and talk about how.

756
00:49:35,410 --> 00:49:38,330
And then as a group, talk about how they could see that work

757
00:49:38,330 --> 00:49:43,450
in their classroom, or, you know, sometimes we try to the same lesson, so we're kind

758
00:49:43,450 --> 00:49:44,850
of using each other as resources.

759
00:49:47,650 --> 00:49:54,630
I'm really looking forward this year to see changes out of what we did.

760
00:49:54,890 --> 00:49:58,530
We worked with the Lersey Consultants through the ALI, the Reef or Mountain Initiative

761
00:49:58,530 --> 00:50:08,910
last year and we developed activities and processes, I guess you would say, based in the

762
00:50:08,910 --> 00:50:15,650
science of reading and I'm going to be looking to see how those are working in the

763
00:50:15,650 --> 00:50:18,750
classrooms this year during literacy centers.

764
00:50:22,030 --> 00:50:23,730
And then after you had already mentioned

765
00:50:23,730 --> 00:50:31,190
In the 2020-26-bit CAP data is out, and I can say I'm pleased, but the interventionists and

766
00:50:31,190 --> 00:50:35,870
I have already identified the areas of weakness, which include problem solving in the area

767
00:50:35,870 --> 00:50:42,070
of math and opinion-writing in the ELA, and we are creating a timeline of how we want to use

768
00:50:42,070 --> 00:50:49,630
the faculty's savings to specifically address those issues, and we will share the data in 2014-2016

769
00:50:49,630 --> 00:50:50,070
It's fine.

770
00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:50,730
It's fine.

771
00:50:51,290 --> 00:50:51,370
We can.

772
00:50:52,050 --> 00:50:52,150
Yeah.

773
00:50:52,550 --> 00:50:53,910
It should be coming soon.

774
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:02,200
We're very fortunate in my school that we collaborate a lot.

775
00:51:02,580 --> 00:51:07,480
If a teacher needs something, they go to someone and we help each other in that way.

776
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:12,780
So peer observations and modeling lessons at the school level has been helpful for us.

777
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:21,100
And we can debrief and talk about program implementation and best practices and identify ways we can support students and each other with new programs.

778
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:22,160
As

779
00:51:24,270 --> 00:51:29,350
I already mentioned, we reviewed data weekly through our MTSS team meetings and monthly

780
00:51:29,350 --> 00:51:37,050
during our data PLC meeting time and we just see where we need to help either at the individual

781
00:51:37,050 --> 00:51:42,730
student level, at a small group level or at the classroom level as a whole.

782
00:51:43,550 --> 00:51:51,470
And we have a document that will be sending home to parents in September and it just has, you know,

783
00:51:51,470 --> 00:51:56,290
of resources and then quick and easy activities to do at home to support what we're doing

784
00:51:56,290 --> 00:52:03,950
in the school which I think is helpful. I know we talk about these things with parents when

785
00:52:03,950 --> 00:52:09,230
we're in MTSS meetings but now all parents are in MTSS meetings so this is kind of going to be a

786
00:52:09,230 --> 00:52:11,750
document that we share out for everyone.

787
00:52:15,220 --> 00:52:19,160
All right, no sugar coding or scores went down.

788
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:23,720
We

789
00:52:23,720 --> 00:52:28,500
Last summer we went through and we kind of revamped and how we're doing things.

790
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:39,240
There is, again, as I'll repeat what they said about the FY26 scores, you know, not as much improvement

791
00:52:39,240 --> 00:52:48,060
as we want to see, but we're getting there, at least the arrows are going up. We looked at our map,

792
00:52:48,060 --> 00:52:56,760
increased slightly, but again, we're still below the state average. But we looked at targeted

793
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:03,900
They're venturing for our students last year, utilizing our windbox more, our ninth grade

794
00:53:03,900 --> 00:53:04,360
students.

795
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:10,440
When we take this, someone will take like ELA and math in the spa, and then we do the testing

796
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:15,620
in March or April, so they haven't had math or English for a few months.

797
00:53:15,780 --> 00:53:20,400
So we did some targeting interventions for our ninth grade students, just kind of like some tutoring

798
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:25,060
with our teachers, kind of brought them into a windbox for the test, just kind of like

799
00:53:25,060 --> 00:53:34,760
refresher type thing, we've changed how we've doing our data, looking at instruction and stuff

800
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:42,940
like that and just a little thing like keep getting this wrong, but probability, like Christine

801
00:53:42,940 --> 00:53:46,380
occurred in 7th grade was looking at like you know, probability there's questions about

802
00:53:46,380 --> 00:53:49,240
probability on the bitcaps, she's like that's what I'm teaching in May and we've already

803
00:53:49,240 --> 00:53:50,080
taken the bitcaps.

804
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,320
So now, you know, so-called in probability, you know, on a half day or something like

805
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,340
finish as a unit on a Thursday on a Friday,

806
00:53:56,460 --> 00:53:57,920
she'll throw in some probability stuff.

807
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,040
So at least the students get to see,

808
00:54:00,460 --> 00:54:01,180
they have some of it.

809
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,480
It's not so we're looking at how we do our curriculum

810
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,960
and that type of thing.

811
00:54:05,420 --> 00:54:06,660
Family and community engagement.

812
00:54:08,140 --> 00:54:13,900
A lot of this, we did mark and I look up the data too.

813
00:54:14,460 --> 00:54:17,220
And our attendance is then it's getting better.

814
00:54:18,300 --> 00:54:21,520
But the correlation between you're not here

815
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:22,440
and here's your test scores.

816
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:27,600
I mean, you know, there's a, I'm not a math person, but Mark is, and we're looking at the plot

817
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,120
or after whatever it is, and it's just like, you know, people had missed two days of school,

818
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:37,260
had fours, and the people that missed 15-plus are doing it once, you know, in the big cap.

819
00:54:37,540 --> 00:54:40,240
So, you know, again, there's that correlation, if you're not there, you're not learning.

820
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,520
You have gaps in your learning and that type of stuff.

821
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:48,260
So we're really, you know, the thing I sent out yesterday, we're really focusing on it.

822
00:54:48,260 --> 00:54:54,200
attendance this year as well to get in there and just looking at things with best practices

823
00:54:54,200 --> 00:55:00,100
are stopped at the role of playbook last year where we're working literacy across the thing

824
00:55:00,100 --> 00:55:04,860
this year and we do have this as I think are third or fourth year with interventionists we

825
00:55:04,860 --> 00:55:11,300
don't have full-time interventionists we share some of the best relevant but you know those first

826
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:15,580
year or two year like how do we you know we haven't had interventionists like how do we use

827
00:55:15,580 --> 00:55:20,700
interventionist, do we push in, do we pull out, so we're, you know, playing with that.

828
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:25,100
And I think we got it down pretty good, that is how our interventionist are working with kids.

829
00:55:25,780 --> 00:55:31,280
As of right now, we have a full-time PLA interventionist, but we don't have a math interventionist this year or so.

830
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:33,740
But, you know, we make do.

831
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,100
Our past research scores are actually pretty decent.

832
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:42,180
And, you know, they say there's a gap between the correlation of what our past rich scores are,

833
00:55:42,180 --> 00:55:51,000
big cap scores are. So we're seeing growth in our fast bridge scores and, you know, especially

834
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,760
and couldn't tell you why, but we look at like our winter peaks and then kind of drops.

835
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,440
You know, there is some, you know, the fall want to sound too bad. I don't know how to

836
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:05,480
spring. The kids are just done and we're ready to, you know, I got high school kids. They're not, like,

837
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,120
you know, mentors who want to please their teacher. They're just like, we're done. Just give us a test

838
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:15,040
you out of here. But our scores and the winners seem to be doing pretty well those are

839
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:22,840
English scores and in our math. This year did really well in our math. See how we're going

840
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:32,300
up on that. We've had that study growth over the years in our fast bridge. So like we said,

841
00:56:32,300 --> 00:56:33,220
The scores continue.

842
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:39,900
Our passports scores continue to grow, but they're good caps and just as a gap, transition,

843
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,040
translating those skills between our greenhouse, those are the same testing.

844
00:56:45,460 --> 00:56:50,320
But we're working on a lot of, you know, Mark and I have hope that our PLC calendar,

845
00:56:50,660 --> 00:56:52,820
a lot of, you know, what we can do for data.

846
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,320
So we're working on that this year too as well.

847
00:56:57,380 --> 00:56:59,460
Again, we saw the change last year.

848
00:57:01,020 --> 00:57:10,680
And we're trying to make it more, even the teachers are trying to get it, you know, with the kids, we're making a heart, we're kind of like, you know,

849
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:16,640
providing snacks for the kids, bringing them into the library, like, this is important when we do the tap testing,

850
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:28,460
and we get no excuse for this year, but I know, and everyone had the whole state had it, where in the LA, like the last one was an essay, and sometimes if they try to hit save, because they need it, you know, to continue it,

851
00:57:28,460 --> 00:57:33,500
white they couldn't get it back so some kids have like one sentence other kids had

852
00:57:33,500 --> 00:57:36,920
most of it done but it was a whole statewide thing so it wasn't just dark kids and

853
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:43,660
it was like you're all something just you know but yeah it was fun being in the

854
00:57:43,660 --> 00:57:48,420
library for years this year trying to like you know all that you can't get in it

855
00:57:48,420 --> 00:57:50,760
it's like we're still at it's

856
00:57:53,740 --> 00:57:58,560
all right so highlights bit gap 15% increase of the

857
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:04,380
three years in ELA that's a celebration right there. The test has only been out a few years.

858
00:58:04,900 --> 00:58:11,000
I want to say now in my 35th year in education in Rutland County, this is my fourth version of state testing.

859
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:17,000
My two years prior to that in New York State, we had one test. They stole the region's exam.

860
00:58:17,580 --> 00:58:23,000
It is very challenging when the state rolls out new tests. It's not an excuse. It's just a fact.

861
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:28,840
And I had 15% increase in test scores is pretty remarkable over three years.

862
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,160
So I expect that trend to continue.

863
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,920
In math, on the next score, I only saw 4% increase.

864
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:40,220
It's something that we've been working on. There's really nothing to excuse for this.

865
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:47,000
The students, I see the trend line from the state, the data line on the right hand side is trending down,

866
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,820
nurses trending up. That's great. I don't mind being compared to the state, but I want

867
00:58:52,820 --> 00:58:59,980
to see it continued growth across our own school. So that's what we need to work on.

868
00:59:00,460 --> 00:59:07,760
And so we are doing a lot of different things. Science, I also included that that is also

869
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:13,220
a newer test and so we've been working on that as well. One of the things when it comes

870
00:59:13,220 --> 00:59:13,840
to VidCAP.

871
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:21,560
It is sometimes very challenging. We've done a lot of PD around, you don't actually

872
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:28,520
get to see the scores of VidCAP as far as the questions, but they do ask VidCAP does release

873
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:34,160
the types of questions that they will ask. And we need to do a better job at West

874
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:40,120
Rowland about looking at how those questions are asked and giving students the strategies to

875
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:45,200
increase those skills. You know, taking the test, there is a science to taking these tests

876
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:51,580
just like those of you that had to endure the SATs and the ACTs, there's a science behind

877
00:59:51,580 --> 00:59:56,120
all of this. And we need to do a better job along with what we're doing within the curriculum.

878
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:11,960
On that, just understand what you're saying is, in these high-says tests, there's what's called a web, death of knowledge, there are four different types of questions that each, so each question is assigned to different levels.

879
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:19,760
It's a level one, a level two, or a level three, they don't ask a level four because of the four more, like a problem-based, you know, should use a product.

880
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:29,860
So you have these three different levels, and what we are working with our admins on is one understanding where our deficiencies are in terms of, we may say that,

881
01:00:29,860 --> 01:00:35,920
We're doing a really nice job at this learning indicator, but are kicking out the scoring well and that we take a look at our local assessment.

882
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:39,000
So that teachers may be all on say there's four in it.

883
01:00:39,060 --> 01:00:43,220
Some of the assessments may be assessing at a level one or a level two in web stuff and knowledge.

884
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,960
But the question is being asked at a level three on the VIT gap.

885
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:53,660
And so we're trying to understand it is that the VIT gap is assessing at a level three or a level two or a level one.

886
01:00:53,660 --> 01:00:58,080
Then we also should be assessing at a level three or level two or level one, or of course the

887
01:00:58,080 --> 01:00:58,420
year.

888
01:00:58,620 --> 01:01:01,800
So the better in a standard terms of really where kids are at and where they're not,

889
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,700
because it's no different than I always used the example of when my daughter was first

890
01:01:05,700 --> 01:01:10,100
learning to add, you know, I was still going stacked, you know, two plus two, you know, one

891
01:01:10,100 --> 01:01:13,820
on top of the other, and then when she sat down and she did the side by side, she was

892
01:01:13,820 --> 01:01:14,600
getting all wrong.

893
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,920
You know, but it was just because it looked definitely, it's a similar type of thing

894
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:23,720
with the web depth knowledge, we may have teachers who are assessing at a level one or

895
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:29,900
level two, or a level three, and when it comes to the VICAP, it's being assessed at a

896
01:01:29,900 --> 01:01:32,880
different level, so we may feel that we have a different understanding in terms of where

897
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:37,400
that growth is, but the VICAP is measuring somewhere else, so we have to do a better job

898
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:43,420
of aligning our local assessments with the VICAP, so we've been understanding in terms of how

899
01:01:43,420 --> 01:01:48,020
we can adjust our curriculum, our lessons, our units throughout the course of the year.

900
01:01:48,020 --> 01:01:50,180
So, that makes sense.

901
01:01:50,740 --> 01:01:53,080
How do they teach math now, roughly,

902
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,280
like you were saying, stack, or whatever?

903
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,900
I'm going to, like, just bring math, how do they?

904
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:00,160
It's conceptual.

905
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:00,860
Yeah.

906
01:02:01,260 --> 01:02:02,960
So we all learned it with algorithms

907
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,420
and just you could memorize how to do it.

908
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:06,200
Now it's all.

909
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,580
The programming that we use is conceptual based math.

910
01:02:09,140 --> 01:02:11,140
So, but I will say that, you know,

911
01:02:11,300 --> 01:02:13,560
the standard algorithm is provided the, you know,

912
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,300
that it still is, is not.

913
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,340
Presented because you really want kids,

914
01:02:17,340 --> 01:02:23,860
especially a mouth to learn the way that their mind understands it.

915
01:02:23,860 --> 01:02:25,640
Oh, good, does that those are things?

916
01:02:26,540 --> 01:02:26,680
Yeah.

917
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:27,660
I don't know, years ago.

918
01:02:28,260 --> 01:02:30,720
No, I mean, I mean, I mean, I don't know what it was.

919
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,800
No, it was about five years ago.

920
01:02:34,340 --> 01:02:38,240
When we were changing them about, yeah, that is it all hard.

921
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:39,340
Yeah.

922
01:02:39,340 --> 01:02:41,420
All that, like, all the right ones.

923
01:02:41,980 --> 01:02:42,260
Yeah, yeah.

924
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,420
Well, there's, again, you know, it works for you.

925
01:02:49,740 --> 01:02:53,780
We told them if they could just do it in their head, that wasn't good enough.

926
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,320
They really needed to show you three different ways to do what to watch.

927
01:02:57,940 --> 01:02:59,080
Not like that.

928
01:02:59,620 --> 01:03:00,380
No, no, no.

929
01:03:02,060 --> 01:03:03,320
Yeah, you can come back around.

930
01:03:03,780 --> 01:03:09,280
Please, I think folks, my generation and older would appreciate what we,

931
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,940
what the new programs that we're using are.

932
01:03:11,940 --> 01:03:17,420
who says what we use or don't use, they're like how to stay to matter.

933
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,360
So we adopt a purchase.

934
01:03:19,660 --> 01:03:23,000
Yeah, we have adopted the Bridges Program across our entire S.U.

935
01:03:23,140 --> 01:03:28,760
which allows us to share common assessments that allows us to actually be able to dig down the right data.

936
01:03:30,100 --> 01:03:30,180
Yeah.

937
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:35,340
And that's work that they do on these in service days during professional development days.

938
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,540
During their PLC's or professional learning communities on Wednesday afters.

939
01:03:39,540 --> 01:03:47,260
That's the big and deep on this stuff and by having those common programs, we're able to do that as an SEO to increase.

940
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:55,740
So one notable before we get to the VITCAP and all that VITCAP or the fast bridge because the line trends you can see are improvement.

941
01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:07,320
One of the things that back to VITCAP that we're working on at West Rowland specifically this year is rigor when it comes to reading and written material.

942
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:15,820
And so I've been working on our literacy plan for both elementary, but I'll secondary plan and one of the emphasis that we are

943
01:04:15,820 --> 01:04:23,520
I am pushing this year is not only what we are having the students read and making sure that they can read it

944
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:30,660
Making sure that we've got the skill set there, but also the rigor of what they are turning in and written work.

945
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:33,800
That needs to increase.

946
01:04:34,620 --> 01:04:35,660
Hands down.

947
01:04:36,020 --> 01:04:39,740
I'm up in the classes that I can look at a science lab report.

948
01:04:39,820 --> 01:04:42,080
I can look at what's being termed in English class,

949
01:04:42,380 --> 01:04:43,840
returned in the socialized classroom,

950
01:04:44,420 --> 01:04:45,800
and that needs to increase.

951
01:04:46,340 --> 01:04:49,880
So that is one of our, that is our number one focus at the secondary level

952
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,240
is that rigor.

953
01:04:52,700 --> 01:04:58,320
A lot of that I work closely with both Jen and Joe looking at how we can work together

954
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,720
on increasing our scores as a whole.

955
01:05:02,580 --> 01:05:11,780
So, fast-bridge scores, trend lines, again, they went up, and the ELA hears math, our students

956
01:05:11,780 --> 01:05:13,420
do very well on this.

957
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:19,340
And for looking at growth and Chris talks about the aggressive growth with all of our

958
01:05:19,340 --> 01:05:21,780
schools, we're showing aggressive growth.

959
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:22,680
It's there.

960
01:05:23,580 --> 01:05:26,300
As mentioned, three times a year by fast-bridge.

961
01:05:26,300 --> 01:05:34,620
So, it's not the end of all the assessment, but it's a very good assessment, it's what we've got and we're able to really dig down with that information.

962
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:42,340
So, I want to emphasize that while we are presenting as individual schools, we are working collectively,

963
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:53,560
you know, I attend a primary meet or elementary school meetings, I attend high school meetings, we're all trying to row in the same direction and learn from each other.

964
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:59,300
So, you know, we may be competitors on that pleasure, but we're not competitors in the classroom.

965
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:03,360
We need to be able to work together and that's a lot of the work that we've been doing.

966
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,300
So that's my little soap box for you.

967
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,600
Again, I've seen a lot of things come, I've seen a lot of things go.

968
01:06:10,580 --> 01:06:17,300
As of you, when I look at and I need to look at with our students, our staff, and our community,

969
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:18,880
is are we seeing growth?

970
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:20,340
Yeah, we are seeing growth.

971
01:06:20,340 --> 01:06:31,260
If it is fast as I wish, no, but we are making growth. Again, 15% in the LA, I can, that's good over three years. I'm, I'm happy with that.

972
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,300
4% in math? No, I'm not happy with that.

973
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,700
That's a little bit of a parental ownership of that, too.

974
01:06:38,940 --> 01:06:46,220
And I think that's what our communities as a whole need to stop and recognize and understand and take ownership of also.

975
01:06:46,220 --> 01:06:53,260
It's not just the responsibility once they cross the marble threshold or the threshold of our buildings.

976
01:06:53,760 --> 01:07:03,300
There is parental community, responsibility for our students, for their comprehension, for their growth in.

977
01:07:03,500 --> 01:07:05,220
And that's happening in our communities.

978
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:11,980
You see that you have, you know, totally libraries very active in doing things and being involved.

979
01:07:11,980 --> 01:07:20,880
I mean all those are different and you have lots of volunteers coming in but also parents and I know everybody's busy

980
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:29,740
I remember what it used to be to have little kids, but I mean for our kids to be successful we all have to be old hands and be partners

981
01:07:32,420 --> 01:07:40,340
Also, goes back a little bit to what Tom said, you know, being practical in the understanding of what they're being taught and how can I teach my child that.

982
01:07:40,900 --> 01:07:51,660
And sometimes we get off into these other areas that make it very difficult for parents to be able to instruct their kids the way that they're being instructed at school to help them.

983
01:07:52,180 --> 01:07:58,300
So Tom's point is made that when we get back to practical, we can see an increase in a value.

984
01:07:58,300 --> 01:08:03,560
Yeah, I think like Kristen said I'm sending home packets or things for, you know, and they don't

985
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:07,920
have to be five or ten minutes. Yeah, they're quick a little. Something you can do, things we all

986
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:13,140
used to do when you're making dinner and, you know, you give it to them to keep them occupied and not bug

987
01:08:13,140 --> 01:08:19,220
yeah, but they are, they don't realize that they're learning when they're learning, you know,

988
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:24,840
and eventually when they get in their twenties, they even tell you, oh yeah, I can't really do it.

989
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:31,120
And they do, you don't think you're the worst thing now, but yeah, so I just think that's

990
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:37,520
important because you hear a lot of negativity I feel like about when people see scores

991
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:43,680
or if there's something that's lower but we all take on a shift, the good and the bad,

992
01:08:43,980 --> 01:08:45,660
in my opinion.

993
01:08:47,940 --> 01:08:54,060
I was just going to finish up with some acronyms that are at the bottom there, you fly

994
01:08:54,060 --> 01:08:59,600
University of Florida Literacy Initiative and Keyes of Literacy, which is a not a program

995
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:06,740
but a format for increasing writing across the board, all of the GRCSU schools are following

996
01:09:06,740 --> 01:09:07,500
these initiatives.

997
01:09:08,180 --> 01:09:12,420
Again, these are things that we're doing collectively as an issue with our professional

998
01:09:12,420 --> 01:09:13,860
development around that.

999
01:09:15,460 --> 01:09:20,220
So NMTSS is a multi-tiered system of support driven by the state.

1000
01:09:20,220 --> 01:09:29,240
We've done a full rehab of that over the last five years of how we work with students both in the classroom and then they go to work with an interventionist.

1001
01:09:29,440 --> 01:09:31,600
All data driven, results were oriented.

1002
01:09:33,060 --> 01:09:39,060
And I will say that's one of my, my, my, I don't know, my babies.

1003
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,160
I guess one of the things I really respect and notice my time with.

1004
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:43,720
So I'm quite proud of the work.

1005
01:09:43,860 --> 01:09:47,680
I see it was done over the last five years with that.

1006
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,780
that's in every one of our schools in the GRCSU.

1007
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,020
So, I'm good, I can answer any questions

1008
01:09:54,020 --> 01:09:57,400
or any proposals and I think Jen might be nice.

1009
01:09:57,540 --> 01:09:58,700
But sometimes you might ask.

1010
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:01,040
Dave, do you have a question?

1011
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:02,100
Yes.

1012
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,200
I'm Ashley Converse.

1013
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:08,540
I was wondering if there's any data specific for students

1014
01:10:08,540 --> 01:10:10,380
that qualify for special education

1015
01:10:10,380 --> 01:10:14,760
and how that looks compared to the rest.

1016
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:17,860
So, you want to answer it?

1017
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:22,720
We do break down various demographics of students,

1018
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,680
and for a special occasion for your news launch.

1019
01:10:27,780 --> 01:10:29,720
So, yeah, we do have that information.

1020
01:10:30,180 --> 01:10:31,120
Do I have it on the end right now?

1021
01:10:31,420 --> 01:10:32,080
No, but yeah.

1022
01:10:32,500 --> 01:10:34,760
We definitely do look at it.

1023
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,560
And very much considered that we change our instruction.

1024
01:10:38,100 --> 01:10:40,900
And that is looked at at the school-based level.

1025
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,220
You know, every time we meet.

1026
01:10:44,220 --> 01:10:50,060
about data and you can also get depends on what the number is but you can find

1027
01:10:50,060 --> 01:10:58,420
percentages online. But it depends on if your N is less than what I, is it 9, 12, 12, 12,

1028
01:10:58,420 --> 01:11:01,380
then then it's, you can't find this for you.

1029
01:11:02,100 --> 01:11:07,520
Our open architect system allows us to dive way deep. There are many filters to it.

1030
01:11:07,900 --> 01:11:11,900
Yes, it's very nice because we need it for our continuous improvement plan which are then

1031
01:11:11,900 --> 01:11:15,780
turn into the state. So those are things that we have to look at annually.

1032
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:21,220
And that open architecture, everything's in one, it's one stop shop.

1033
01:11:21,340 --> 01:11:25,380
You step to try to find different, you know, go into the fastwares website.

1034
01:11:25,620 --> 01:11:29,320
Go to the state with a bit, and you're trying to find out the stuff that now it's blown

1035
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:33,420
right there. And it's great because it's, you know, spending half a hour just

1036
01:11:33,420 --> 01:11:37,160
just, you know, it's there and then you can just go with that.

1037
01:11:37,260 --> 01:11:41,100
Is anyone able to speak off hand of if those scores are trending

1038
01:11:41,100 --> 01:11:45,500
off board as well, or if they kind of follow what you're seeing.

1039
01:11:45,900 --> 01:11:52,500
In the context of recent reporting, too, right around special education, achievement, you know,

1040
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:57,760
scores at the state level anyway, lagging, right behind their typical peers.

1041
01:11:58,300 --> 01:12:02,940
Yeah, I don't have information. I can't do right now. I got to look.

1042
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:08,220
When you submit your percentage, increases, or decreases to the state,

1043
01:12:08,220 --> 01:12:13,960
is the population of students taking into consideration because if once one out of five scores

1044
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,020
lower your percentages are going to be very skewed.

1045
01:12:16,340 --> 01:12:21,100
Yeah, and you also look at the cohort itself as they go through that's what I'm looking

1046
01:12:21,100 --> 01:12:22,960
for for growth is the cohort.

1047
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:27,680
You know, this last year's first graders for now, second graders, what does that trend line

1048
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:30,000
but each one of those cohorts look like?

1049
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:35,820
That's, that to me is what I'm looking at most importantly because I also want to look

1050
01:12:35,820 --> 01:12:42,900
that we can dig down deep enough to also look at how students are doing their schools are small enough that we can look at.

1051
01:12:43,300 --> 01:12:51,300
Okay, as a former AP teacher, I could actually look at everyone of my scores and check the answers that the students have given on the AP exam.

1052
01:12:51,440 --> 01:12:59,340
We don't get that with BICAP. I would love to know how my students actually answered that BICAP scores and we don't get those results.

1053
01:13:00,660 --> 01:13:02,640
So we used to get meat cap.

1054
01:13:02,900 --> 01:13:03,800
Yeah, we used to get that.

1055
01:13:04,060 --> 01:13:04,260
That hat.

1056
01:13:04,300 --> 01:13:06,080
One of the other assessments means, yeah.

1057
01:13:07,100 --> 01:13:09,300
But so I think we look at those cold滋ants.

1058
01:13:09,860 --> 01:13:11,220
That's a big trap.

1059
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:12,280
So they're very popular.

1060
01:13:12,820 --> 01:13:13,240
They're very popular.

1061
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:13,680
They're very popular as well.

1062
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,380
The state tape, the consideration.

1063
01:13:16,660 --> 01:13:19,880
Yeah, like, do you guys like write some kind of summary, like, you know.

1064
01:13:20,020 --> 01:13:21,160
So our score is just good.

1065
01:13:21,380 --> 01:13:22,000
The state of the state.

1066
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:23,980
They said, so they're forwarded right.

1067
01:13:24,220 --> 01:13:26,320
So if it's in a smaller cohort,

1068
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:28,280
it has a greater impact.

1069
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:36,140
So we, you know, like a 40% being a little bit different than a smaller school, it's going to much larger school, so there's no weed in four of them.

1070
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:37,460
That's a number.

1071
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:38,640
All right.

1072
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:39,140
Let's make sure you're here.

1073
01:13:39,140 --> 01:13:46,580
I look all about the state does publish equity indicators that if any of your marginalized groups,

1074
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:54,020
lower than your non marginalized groups, they produce a billable on them.

1075
01:13:54,020 --> 01:13:58,740
but say, and you get tagged as that happens over a few years as an equity

1076
01:13:58,740 --> 01:14:02,120
learner and equity to group. And so if you're interested in that, that is the

1077
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:04,600
available on the state's website.

1078
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:10,480
Annual snapshot. Is that from some of the more recent the EQS stuff, or is that

1079
01:14:10,480 --> 01:14:13,780
do you know if those data are available going back a little bit?

1080
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:18,620
I think they have published all of the schools. There is a report that shows

1081
01:14:18,620 --> 01:14:22,780
what their schools have got up and the way they're trending and where they are.

1082
01:14:22,780 --> 01:14:29,440
I have to use my files to find where that is, but is it the awful based on the C system?

1083
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:31,780
Yeah, no no worries. Thanks for sharing that.

1084
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:32,980
Who's?

1085
01:14:33,300 --> 01:14:33,660
Yeah.

1086
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:41,200
So again, like Joe, there's no sugar coating. We are not trending upward in ELA or math in VITCAP.

1087
01:14:42,180 --> 01:14:49,820
We like Chris had started to work on depth of knowledge. We did some PD around that this past year with teachers.

1088
01:14:51,440 --> 01:14:55,880
And, you know, I had said last year we were going to make 10% growth, 10% growth, then that

1089
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:56,620
did not happen.

1090
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:59,700
So, you know, it is disappointing to see this.

1091
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:19,000
It's snapshot of what our kids are able to do at Proctor. So taking this and writing our continuous improvement plan for this upcoming year and peeling back the layers and you're looking at the individual student assessments or the cohort assessments, you know, really being able to find out that this upcoming year we have to take it all the way back to basics.

1092
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:26,360
Like, our, we need to, our students need to be reading fluently before they can even begin to process the information that's in front of them.

1093
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:30,700
need to have fat fluency before they can sit down in front of a computer and, you know, answer

1094
01:15:30,700 --> 01:15:35,340
these higher level thinking questions where they're still struggling to process what's being asked.

1095
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,960
You know, and then looking at the writing piece in our continuous improvement plan as well,

1096
01:15:40,260 --> 01:15:44,340
even this year reviewing bits and pieces of things, you know, it just keeps popping up

1097
01:15:44,340 --> 01:15:50,320
the conventions of writing. So, you know, and speaking with the staff and my interventionists

1098
01:15:51,060 --> 01:15:56,240
and other folks around just looking forward into this year bringing us back to a place

1099
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:01,640
of a baseline to then be able to watch the growth happen more consistently saying that we've

1100
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:02,360
all done this.

1101
01:16:02,380 --> 01:16:03,500
This is where we're all starting.

1102
01:16:04,140 --> 01:16:05,980
We have been part of key solidarcy.

1103
01:16:06,700 --> 01:16:08,940
Our school has actually finished the training.

1104
01:16:09,480 --> 01:16:14,040
So next Friday we're going to take the next step with Rotland Town and take it further.

1105
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:22,360
And another piece that we're going to be working on is taking those assessments from our

1106
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:27,320
excuse me, our bridges assessments and looking at the depth of knowledge that the program

1107
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:32,840
already provides you an assessment with instead of trying to create our own for literacy

1108
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:38,600
or for writing, we're going to start with something that's solid that we can build off of.

1109
01:16:38,860 --> 01:16:48,400
And our fast bridge looks great in comparison to, you know, the VICAP, so again looking at

1110
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:55,160
and math. Maths since I've been in the building since 2022 has been more of the

1111
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:59,280
struggle as we've gone through. I don't think it was mentioned earlier, but when we

1112
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:03,000
gave the fast-bridge assessments to kindergarten and first grade, those are done

1113
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,340
one-to-one. So I just didn't want people to think we're putting kindergarteners and

1114
01:17:06,340 --> 01:17:11,160
first graders on computers. They don't see the computer based test until second grade.

1115
01:17:12,220 --> 01:17:15,780
And again, you know, it is typical to see students do better in the winter. They've

1116
01:17:15,780 --> 01:17:22,160
school, if the instruction, who knows why the spring always looks like what it does, but those

1117
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:29,420
are kind of the core pieces of that third grade this past year, and actually consistently since

1118
01:17:29,420 --> 01:17:34,040
they've been in the building, had a very large percentage of students who are at or above grade

1119
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:38,880
level. Our kindergarten this year too, out of a handful, there's only a handful of students that

1120
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:43,500
we're not at grade level, most of them are at and beyond. So there are some really big highlights

1121
01:17:43,500 --> 01:17:47,440
that you know, I'm looking forward to watching what did those kids come in, what is the

1122
01:17:47,440 --> 01:17:52,340
parent connections, partnerships, what are re-offering our kids, and what professional development

1123
01:17:52,340 --> 01:17:56,000
do the staff need for students who are already at or about grade level, because we don't want

1124
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,060
them to just stay, we want them to continue to grow.

1125
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:02,140
So those are the pieces that I'm going to keep my eye on this year, and then working with the

1126
01:18:02,140 --> 01:18:06,140
cliff grant, we have the opportunity to build in some additional professional development and

1127
01:18:06,140 --> 01:18:12,180
writing just through our Wednesday time with them, trying to really emphasize the joy of learning,

1128
01:18:12,180 --> 01:18:18,580
The why we're here and really bolstering that universal layer of instruction so that teachers feel

1129
01:18:19,420 --> 01:18:25,320
Like they can hook the kids and keep the kids and what's going on to see all of these pieces just go. So I'm actually really excited

1130
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:30,040
You know even looking at this data that is a visible at best and some of these slides for a proctor

1131
01:18:30,580 --> 01:18:33,780
Just knowing that the staff is still still there coming back

1132
01:18:34,220 --> 01:18:40,620
Once to do right by the kids and that the kids are gonna be here in a few weeks. I'm just really ready to kick it off and and get going on that

1133
01:18:40,620 --> 01:18:44,820
So, hopefully sitting here this time next year, we'll look different.

1134
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,520
Can you thank you Liz, any questions for Liz?

1135
01:18:48,300 --> 01:18:55,020
My question I have is, might be worthy to inquire of those parents, so those kindergarteners

1136
01:18:55,020 --> 01:18:59,680
of what they did to prepare their kids, so that maybe we could pass that along, where...

1137
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:00,420
Yep.

1138
01:19:00,580 --> 01:19:02,220
A majority of them actually came from our preschool.

1139
01:19:03,180 --> 01:19:07,740
So that's always nice to know, but that's about half and half is upcoming year.

1140
01:19:07,740 --> 01:19:14,920
And then actually our this current third grade it's a little less than half that actually came from us. So those are great cohorts to

1141
01:19:15,580 --> 01:19:19,160
To inquire with good suggestion. Thank you. All right. Thank you.

1142
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:20,260
Jen

1143
01:19:37,700 --> 01:19:41,500
So, those Thursdays, I have the dark circle motorized,

1144
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,260
just how you want to do next with the students and staff.

1145
01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:46,320
We are also able to grow our math.

1146
01:19:46,700 --> 01:19:49,880
They capture the consistency of up to the average to 42%.

1147
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,500
And we have a rely on our literacy and math plans

1148
01:19:52,500 --> 01:19:54,240
that we're improving in my report.

1149
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:57,200
We do unpack to the tab.

1150
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:01,940
We do administer the shampoo questions in the past quite a bit.

1151
01:20:02,100 --> 01:20:05,220
And my teachers are constantly reviewing that

1152
01:20:05,220 --> 01:20:09,120
looking at our scope and sequence to make sure that kids are getting what they need before

1153
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:15,880
this has. My fast range results, you can see that you're over a year we have an

1154
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:21,580
effort, a trend line, and then each year you'll notice that from fall to spring we're

1155
01:20:21,580 --> 01:20:27,580
able to grow our students in both literacy and math. And so I think I asked a

1156
01:20:27,580 --> 01:20:33,700
question like, what do we need all this time for? Like I need the time with my teachers to go

1157
01:20:33,700 --> 01:20:39,500
over these things to talk about what are research-based literacy and map practices that they can

1158
01:20:39,500 --> 01:20:47,240
integrate. They need time to practice. We do chairs as a whole group. My tool, faculty, as

1159
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:52,900
responsible for reading and writing across the curriculum. We all own that. We all own this data.

1160
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:57,260
Even map. We have a map for all plan where all of my teachers are whether you're teaching

1161
01:20:57,260 --> 01:21:02,060
social studies or P and you're science. You're all teaching maps and you're all highlighting

1162
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:09,020
And so I think that has really paid out for us because it isn't a couple of teachers that

1163
01:21:09,020 --> 01:21:15,120
Ole Miss and my building is everyone that owns this and we look at the data and really

1164
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:18,360
use time to review and refine our personal items.

1165
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:22,680
We encourage our community to be able to look at it, research shows that daily readings are

1166
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:23,000
fun.

1167
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,920
So that's not when I force the kids to read, but when you're playing it, it's only for fun.

1168
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:30,080
of 15 to 20 minutes a day, improve these scores.

1169
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,900
We have common running assessments that we analyze during the time

1170
01:21:33,900 --> 01:21:37,220
when we have TV, we decide on what we need to do

1171
01:21:37,220 --> 01:21:39,740
as a whole school, we decide on what we need to do seven

1172
01:21:39,740 --> 01:21:43,460
through 12 to elevate vocabulary, to elevate

1173
01:21:43,460 --> 01:21:47,760
where kids are at with their fluency, and so a lot of that time

1174
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,340
and looking at those things, and then we use all of that

1175
01:21:50,340 --> 01:21:54,680
to make our continued improvement plan, our step for the next year

1176
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,300
on where we ended up each year.

1177
01:21:56,300 --> 01:22:01,680
And so our faculty does that all together and we need our community and that all is well.

1178
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:04,660
Any questions?

1179
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:06,620
Any questions for Jen?

1180
01:22:08,140 --> 01:22:09,240
Oh, very good.

1181
01:22:09,480 --> 01:22:09,760
Good question.

1182
01:22:10,620 --> 01:22:13,300
Okay, so go to my part of this.

1183
01:22:13,480 --> 01:22:18,100
So looking at what the individual buildings did about now looking at the SU version of this.

1184
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:26,520
So what is the purpose of our professional runtime facing to approve teacher effectiveness and directly boost student learning achievement?

1185
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,980
So, has that achieve one big thing and big?

1186
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:43,860
A push for me this year is not going to jay about earlier today, is analyzing student performance data. So taking a look at some of our mentioned here in a couple minutes, common assessments, looking at that data and really making educational instructional decisions based off of that data.

1187
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:53,580
Second thing here is from those data points, we're finding our curriculum, we're finding our instruction to meet our students needs. Collaborative problem solving, we have to do this together.

1188
01:22:53,580 --> 01:23:08,280
You know, each building can't act in a silo, we have to do this together, use that in service time to our half day time for our teachers to come together across buildings to plan and instruction plan assessments and make sure that we are holding our kids to the same standards.

1189
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:11,620
And then fostering consistency, it's a huge thing for me.

1190
01:23:11,940 --> 01:23:16,360
You know, we have multiple buildings within our SU and also within this school district.

1191
01:23:16,480 --> 01:23:22,280
We want to make sure our buildings are doing things on a consistent level and making sure that our teachers are working together.

1192
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:27,640
best we are students needs. So we have three large buckets in our achievement trends. First

1193
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:32,760
when you are a whole, first two you are you heard about, VidCAP, it's assessed one time a year.

1194
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:37,660
Okay, assessed in March. Our fast bridge, tests are assessed three times a year, fall winter

1195
01:23:37,660 --> 01:23:42,820
and spring. Now what we're using a lot of our professional development time we've used in this

1196
01:23:42,820 --> 01:23:48,180
past spring and now coming into this school year is what I have a huge passion for and that's

1197
01:23:48,180 --> 01:23:54,040
form of the assessments. Those are assessed monthly, and these assessments that the teachers

1198
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,540
are working on during our professional development time are all aligned to VICF, as Chris

1199
01:23:57,540 --> 01:24:02,800
mentioned before, making sure that those assessments are aligned to the VICAP, a definite knowledge,

1200
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:08,640
make sure we're attaching the same level of rigor to assessments to match what is asked

1201
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:14,080
them in VICAP and in fast bridge. Okay, so what common form of assessments are,

1202
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:19,240
They're a quick form of assessments given in every great and content area, monthly, to gauge student understanding.

1203
01:24:19,660 --> 01:24:22,020
So again, these teachers are working on these assessments.

1204
01:24:22,620 --> 01:24:26,100
They're not so much taking or building it new assessments.

1205
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:31,880
They're taking what they already do, refining them and making sure that they're being analyzed on a consistent level.

1206
01:24:32,660 --> 01:24:36,520
So that's another big part of that is, after they give the assessment, what do you do with it?

1207
01:24:37,020 --> 01:24:39,180
Do you change your instruction based off the student needs?

1208
01:24:39,700 --> 01:24:39,980
Yes.

1209
01:24:39,980 --> 01:24:47,920
Okay, for what those assessments are telling us, we need to make some changes and that's what our professional learning communities are doing, right?

1210
01:24:47,940 --> 01:24:51,460
We're going to be expected to do this year

1211
01:24:51,460 --> 01:25:00,280
Monthly so they're going to give the assessment. They're going to meet together as a group and then there's a whole data analysis procedure that is going to be put in place

1212
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:09,200
That's again talking with Jay about earlier today that's going to make teachers look at the various professors at levels four through one and who did well

1213
01:25:09,980 --> 01:25:12,280
what we need to work on and what's the plan.

1214
01:25:13,420 --> 01:25:16,280
So that's going to get a large portion of our teacher's professional

1215
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:17,540
development time this year.

1216
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:21,220
Again, looking at our in-service coming up next Friday,

1217
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:26,800
we already have about three and a half, four hours to work on this

1218
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,800
information, grant, broken up in different sections,

1219
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,820
but still a large part of our times in the teacher's working together

1220
01:25:31,820 --> 01:25:33,780
to work on these common formative assessments.

1221
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,760
Okay, so are we seeing a return of investment

1222
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:40,200
professional development, you know, what has improved?

1223
01:25:40,780 --> 01:25:42,000
Our literacy instruction has improved.

1224
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:44,940
We're increasing the invitation of evidence-based practices.

1225
01:25:45,580 --> 01:25:47,700
So the base taking, taking a look at our programs,

1226
01:25:48,100 --> 01:25:50,360
are the evidence-based, are we implementing them with fidelity?

1227
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,840
Are we actually looking at what how students are doing with them?

1228
01:25:54,140 --> 01:25:55,060
Strong internet intervention systems?

1229
01:25:55,260 --> 01:25:58,600
The more data we have, the more information we have to

1230
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:00,940
specifically target students in their education

1231
01:26:00,940 --> 01:26:03,740
and what their deficiencies are.

1232
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,280
And how can we bring those up?

1233
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:10,240
Okay, we have seen improved benchmark growth in several grades.

1234
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:13,620
You saw that from the Dadves presented by all of our principles.

1235
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,700
You're just a little bit ago and then my big thing here is

1236
01:26:17,700 --> 01:26:19,200
teacher collaboration around student data.

1237
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,280
We can make a lot of decision, it's just qualitatively.

1238
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:26,220
But when we look at the quantitative data, that is how we can best

1239
01:26:26,220 --> 01:26:27,240
inform our instruction.

1240
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:30,220
Okay, what is non-proved?

1241
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,640
So the state of efficiency still remains below what we expect from our district.

1242
01:26:35,940 --> 01:26:42,000
And as we talked about cohorts there a little bit ago, growth has seen on the even across great levels.

1243
01:26:42,500 --> 01:26:48,560
So looking at cohorts, look at grade 1, last year, to 3 next year, how are students progressing?

1244
01:26:49,380 --> 01:26:51,520
We do see EBS and flow is in different grades.

1245
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:52,600
And that's it.

1246
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:57,000
We need to look at basically what the assessments look like, what the structure looks like,

1247
01:26:57,020 --> 01:27:01,620
and then make decisions based off of that because again, every teacher does their craft a little differently.

1248
01:27:01,740 --> 01:27:02,600
And that's their craft.

1249
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:06,900
But we want to make sure we're looking at that, so we can make most best informed decisions.

1250
01:27:08,020 --> 01:27:10,520
And then some student groups, as we talked about different cohorts,

1251
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:12,600
or underperformer in some areas.

1252
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:17,200
Again, those are categories we need to look at and make plans for and make that

1253
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:19,840
going back to targeted intervention.

1254
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:22,780
So what are we changing?

1255
01:27:23,580 --> 01:27:24,740
Increase instructional walkers.

1256
01:27:24,900 --> 01:27:25,780
That's me and our admins.

1257
01:27:26,700 --> 01:27:27,680
We do once a month.

1258
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:28,680
We get together.

1259
01:27:28,780 --> 01:27:29,640
We go into classrooms.

1260
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:32,300
And we look at how teachers are teaching.

1261
01:27:32,300 --> 01:27:39,780
How are the kids receiving the instruction and then making some instructional changes off of that more target of coaching?

1262
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:44,000
That's us looking at how our we can best support our teachers in the classroom.

1263
01:27:44,480 --> 01:27:47,800
What do they need to grow in? What do they want to grow in?

1264
01:27:47,980 --> 01:27:49,620
And how do we make those plans?

1265
01:27:51,180 --> 01:27:53,140
So clear implementation expectations.

1266
01:27:53,620 --> 01:27:55,040
So that goes to my part of consistency.

1267
01:27:56,140 --> 01:28:01,320
is our expectation, my expectation, with the common form of assessments that they are done

1268
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:06,520
monthly, and they are analyzed monthly for that data, so we can then make those educational

1269
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:08,360
instructional decisions and changes.

1270
01:28:09,580 --> 01:28:13,680
More frequent progress monitoring, that's again going back and looking at data.

1271
01:28:14,340 --> 01:28:17,600
Big part of it is looking at student data and the making changes.

1272
01:28:18,700 --> 01:28:21,080
And then building specific action plans, assuming again I've stuck in.

1273
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:22,840
I fucked a lot the J today.

1274
01:28:23,940 --> 01:28:24,780
Yes, we did.

1275
01:28:24,780 --> 01:28:25,260
Yes, we did.

1276
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:26,120
We had a long conversation.

1277
01:28:26,740 --> 01:28:29,240
And I'm looking to, and we are looking to our building

1278
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:31,440
admins to really talk this lingo,

1279
01:28:32,220 --> 01:28:34,780
live it, and then make sure it's happening in the buildings,

1280
01:28:35,140 --> 01:28:37,080
and making sure they're working with teachers through this,

1281
01:28:38,180 --> 01:28:40,400
these data discussions, if you will,

1282
01:28:40,540 --> 01:28:43,000
to make sure they're happening, and we're making changes to best

1283
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,260
me or best me or student needs.

1284
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,140
I know I threw a lot out here there.

1285
01:28:48,700 --> 01:28:49,820
Do you have any questions, though?

1286
01:28:49,820 --> 01:28:51,880
If you're interested, tell us about it.

1287
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:52,360
I have a question.

1288
01:28:52,460 --> 01:28:52,800
Good evening.

1289
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:55,900
As you go through student data,

1290
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:59,620
and you identify students who are performing below the curve,

1291
01:29:00,260 --> 01:29:03,720
what are you doing for the students that are performing above the curve?

1292
01:29:03,980 --> 01:29:05,420
Are there any programs for them?

1293
01:29:06,540 --> 01:29:07,060
Oh, programming.

1294
01:29:07,540 --> 01:29:09,000
I mean, not specific programs,

1295
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:11,320
but yes, during like students,

1296
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:12,740
when block, what I need,

1297
01:29:13,380 --> 01:29:13,680
investments,

1298
01:29:14,540 --> 01:29:15,800
activities are given to students.

1299
01:29:16,540 --> 01:29:18,640
Again, also looking at student achievement,

1300
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:24,300
And we never want kids to plateau, so there's always that building to push more.

1301
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:31,640
And the one big thing we're looking at is, especially the higher level grades, how do you,

1302
01:29:32,780 --> 01:29:33,660
sort of looking for it?

1303
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:34,740
Sorry, completely different.

1304
01:29:35,620 --> 01:29:36,720
How do you apply what you learned?

1305
01:29:37,660 --> 01:29:42,820
So, you know, you're looking at sure if I can regurgitate back to you.

1306
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,280
Man, do you know what you memorized it?

1307
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:47,560
But how do you apply that information?

1308
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:50,020
So that application piece is really big for us?

1309
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:53,400
So what would you do like if a student on

1310
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:58,820
that cap scored 97% accuracy in the nation?

1311
01:29:59,420 --> 01:29:59,980
Would you say hey?

1312
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:28,140
Okay, the students really great at reading. They're in your class. You should push them to do a higher grade level curriculum. I can tell you some things we've done. It's kind of like grade sharing. If there's a, you know, second grader say that comes in and around a fourth grade level and that. We work it out and they would go spend some time in another classroom. So they'd still be with their home. Okay, people, but they would go to get that exposure to the higher level curriculum. We've done that.

1313
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:33,940
Is that going to be like a common thing amongst the, you know, the other schools?

1314
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:35,020
I mean, that does again.

1315
01:30:35,380 --> 01:30:36,100
So that's cool.

1316
01:30:36,400 --> 01:30:37,100
Yeah, best practice.

1317
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:43,380
Well, I will say that as a proctor, we have an ability for kids to take like an honor and

1318
01:30:43,380 --> 01:30:44,100
bubble truck.

1319
01:30:44,540 --> 01:30:46,920
And those kids can do independent projects.

1320
01:30:47,060 --> 01:30:50,020
And they meet with their teachers above and beyond within the curriculum.

1321
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:57,180
And the secondary admin team have been talking about moving that practice out.

1322
01:30:57,180 --> 01:31:03,980
I will say that we see that the social emotional side of kids that are advanced, often

1323
01:31:03,980 --> 01:31:10,160
so hard as when we advanced them grade levels because you're taking a kid, that 14 is really

1324
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:14,280
advanced but then you're graduating and getting them into a hospital that you might be then

1325
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:20,500
into the world where they're 17 and so sometimes it's in a great idea to advance them all the

1326
01:31:20,500 --> 01:31:26,420
way but we do have a way and a policy available that you can review about where you

1327
01:31:30,620 --> 01:31:34,760
Megan, we've talked a lot about, you know, college structure, you know, the single greatest

1328
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,400
fact to really is the quality of the classroom teacher.

1329
01:31:37,980 --> 01:31:42,500
That's the biggest, you know, program, sign, whatever, it's the, it's the individual, it's

1330
01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:44,100
probably these students.

1331
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:49,520
And we focus a lot on, you know, instruction, but there's an instructional form, but there's

1332
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:50,720
also an instructional ceiling.

1333
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:56,140
And one thing you referenced is a lot of times, you know, so many of this year, 34 year

1334
01:31:56,140 --> 01:32:01,200
35 across three of them states, a lot of times we'll happen situations where a lot of our

1335
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:05,140
officers are on students who are below the presidency, so we're trying to get these kids

1336
01:32:05,140 --> 01:32:09,700
to a certain point and the kids who are doing well, they'll just do extra work, go sit

1337
01:32:09,700 --> 01:32:10,180
over there.

1338
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,920
What we have to do is we have to really look at how our admins really work with these

1339
01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:18,620
classroom teachers to work towards what's called the Instructural Sealing.

1340
01:32:19,440 --> 01:32:26,120
They really can provide classroom structure or a lesson that meets all needs, not

1341
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:29,860
just the higher end kids are doing more work or they're doing just working in a corner

1342
01:32:29,860 --> 01:32:33,020
or you go like, you know, Mike and Sir, you guys go work independently over there.

1343
01:32:33,060 --> 01:32:34,620
That's not what we're trying to do.

1344
01:32:35,220 --> 01:32:38,760
Yeah, so we really have to make sure that our teachers are equipped to handle the learners

1345
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:39,400
all classroom.

1346
01:32:39,660 --> 01:32:44,060
So therefore, if we do have individuals who need that, you know, the instructional seal

1347
01:32:44,060 --> 01:32:48,960
and that they have the schools, the pedagogies, the skills to work with those kids, as

1348
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:52,760
well as the students that may be, you know, a little proficiency who are struggling as well.

1349
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:56,760
And that is our goal through instructional leadership is to work with them.

1350
01:32:57,380 --> 01:33:01,400
But it's not just about a program or additional work or things all those lives.

1351
01:33:01,540 --> 01:33:02,460
It really is.

1352
01:33:02,460 --> 01:33:07,140
Make sure our class and teachers are better equipped and with their design lessons that the lessons

1353
01:33:07,140 --> 01:33:09,840
help meet the needs of every single one of the kids in the classroom.

1354
01:33:10,940 --> 01:33:11,280
Thank you.

1355
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:12,260
And.

1356
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:13,460
Okay.

1357
01:33:13,460 --> 01:33:13,680
I'm sorry.

1358
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:21,400
And just looking at this in the past couple, many times, a student will come in just

1359
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:26,120
told me they're going to go to the bathroom or sit in the water and die and think

1360
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:27,040
you're just being alone.

1361
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:34,360
And then you get the report card and they get a one because they choose not to participate,

1362
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:40,880
but their work is in there every day, it just seems car-productive.

1363
01:33:41,820 --> 01:33:46,020
You're penalizing the student for not being comfortable in that class and not participating.

1364
01:33:47,300 --> 01:33:52,380
Well, that's a situation we do have, the gravy also have its work, so technically that

1365
01:33:52,380 --> 01:33:56,040
really shouldn't be occurring, that a student is doing the work that's just sitting there,

1366
01:33:56,200 --> 01:34:01,620
that happens to work for your collective of their work ethic, but their score should reflect

1367
01:34:01,620 --> 01:34:07,500
more of where their actors academically. So that's a situation, please have that very

1368
01:34:07,500 --> 01:34:11,240
reach out to the bill of Mr. OSU, because that's not the happening in the classroom, because

1369
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:14,960
that's one of the, you know, with proficiency-based learning, I'm hearing you do separate

1370
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:20,080
these two, where there's the behavior, then there's actual the learning part, and there's

1371
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:25,000
two separate entities. They're not lumped in, like the 100 point scale used to be, where student

1372
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:28,600
comes in and puts their head down, and it doesn't matter if they're hit 100 on the test,

1373
01:34:28,940 --> 01:34:34,760
we're taking 20 points, but you talk during the test. So we're moving away from that punitive aspect

1374
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:41,160
of. I just couldn't understand. The work was there and it's in and it's okay and you're not

1375
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:46,300
acting up which you get a one. It just is counterproductive to me.

1376
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:51,420
One may go have it's a work but that's the case and that's that should not be occurring. That's

1377
01:34:51,420 --> 01:34:56,360
something which that parent or you know that should definitely be reaching out to to build a

1378
01:34:56,360 --> 01:35:01,880
mystery to myself to totally so to understand. And that goes back to like said the quality of

1379
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:06,720
future is having a better understanding where, you know, there is, there is not that few

1380
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:10,900
of the aspect, you know, there are some kids who will come in who may are introverted,

1381
01:35:11,300 --> 01:35:16,080
you know, who will sit and say, just let me do the work and can demonstrate mastery of

1382
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:20,340
proficiency in an area, but it looks a little bit different than what other kids can do.

1383
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:26,140
And that's one of the benefits of proficiency-based learning, is that we should be taking

1384
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:31,900
individual, you know, individual styles and their approaches in the consideration.

1385
01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:38,460
Well, in some cases parents have come forward and asked me, of course, I'm from a different era,

1386
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:41,220
we're going to have one to three, four, we have real life grades.

1387
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:43,880
And one to three, four is a real life grade.

1388
01:35:44,180 --> 01:35:47,280
Oh, I know it is, but it was easier when we had the number.

1389
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:52,180
And, you know, the student comes in, doesn't participate.

1390
01:35:52,180 --> 01:35:59,160
work is in because they didn't participate, they then got moved to a lower class where students

1391
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:09,870
have more needs and the parent was question is that a pyramid ship. My answer was go see the

1392
01:36:09,870 --> 01:36:15,650
teacher. I mean that's the unit's job. Yeah teacher teacher. Yeah teacher teacher. That's what you

1393
01:36:15,650 --> 01:36:19,750
need to do. That's what you need to do. That's what you need to do. That's what you need to do.

1394
01:36:20,910 --> 01:36:28,450
Parents have to advocate for each child, whether they're below, medium, or above, and that's the responsibility

1395
01:36:28,450 --> 01:36:35,730
to advocate to the appropriate individual, whether it's the building admin or the classroom teacher.

1396
01:36:36,050 --> 01:36:42,890
And unfortunately, I think social media makes it easy for people not to advocate in the right place for their children.

1397
01:36:43,210 --> 01:36:46,870
Especially if they have not had a good educational experience coming up.

1398
01:36:46,870 --> 01:36:48,510
I have to remember, that's true.

1399
01:36:48,650 --> 01:36:50,750
They have a case on a Facebook parent group,

1400
01:36:51,650 --> 01:36:53,650
is, well, that's not an advocate, that's complaining,

1401
01:36:54,530 --> 01:36:55,550
but actually coming in and speaking

1402
01:36:55,550 --> 01:36:57,410
with classroom teacher bonus, or that's interesting.

1403
01:36:57,570 --> 01:36:59,390
And I think, you know, I always say

1404
01:36:59,390 --> 01:37:01,270
as I work in a variety of settings,

1405
01:37:01,750 --> 01:37:04,730
the inner city, suburban settings,

1406
01:37:05,270 --> 01:37:06,990
and it's just that the difference is advocacy.

1407
01:37:07,890 --> 01:37:09,430
And I think, you know, we need more paths

1408
01:37:09,430 --> 01:37:13,250
coming in and hold teachers, buildings,

1409
01:37:13,510 --> 01:37:15,350
accountable for their kids learning.

1410
01:37:15,350 --> 01:37:22,370
Yeah, it has been asking questions about what's going on, because that's how we could

1411
01:37:22,370 --> 01:37:22,990
need to raise it.

1412
01:37:23,370 --> 01:37:24,570
Yeah, that's the first time it happens.

1413
01:37:24,870 --> 01:37:26,270
That's three months later.

1414
01:37:26,430 --> 01:37:26,870
Yeah.

1415
01:37:27,390 --> 01:37:29,910
Let's get a watch out for retaliation.

1416
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:59,980
Also, that does happen. Not a lot, but in a class where, you know, performing, you know, where the teacher was able to make space for her and a few other students who were performing a little above level to explore what it might look like to push.

1417
01:37:59,980 --> 01:38:09,360
And it was just made space within the classroom, as well as a curricular, a little bit of a curricular opportunity this coming year.

1418
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:11,360
So, yeah, just to say, it happens.

1419
01:38:11,460 --> 01:38:13,240
The differentiation goes both ways.

1420
01:38:13,780 --> 01:38:15,460
Such the ability in our school size.

1421
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:25,560
Just one last thing to this session, if you want, I clearly don't have a slide here, you don't have the presentation, but you can take practice tests.

1422
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:30,320
so if you'd like I can have that link for you so you can look at the various

1423
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:35,900
practice sets that we give to our kids at all or this is in your board or

1424
01:38:35,900 --> 01:38:40,600
it's a presentation so if you want to click on that link they'll take you to the

1425
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:43,720
Vickette practice sets you can take them at all different grade levels and

1426
01:38:44,740 --> 01:38:50,020
isn't it is it anonymous so I feel had to sit down and do this together

1427
01:38:50,020 --> 01:38:53,320
Yeah, you can see that it's on the boat.

1428
01:38:54,060 --> 01:38:55,800
I guess I've been going to have fifth grade.

1429
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:57,580
So, yes.

1430
01:38:57,980 --> 01:38:59,580
It is anonymous if you want to.

1431
01:38:59,780 --> 01:39:01,300
And you can take a test and see what?

1432
01:39:01,980 --> 01:39:04,900
So, even that's would be available to a parent.

1433
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:07,200
Very good.

1434
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:12,480
My previous district, we went into executive session and gave the third grade

1435
01:39:12,480 --> 01:39:17,040
kneecap test to the board at that district.

1436
01:39:17,900 --> 01:39:19,240
And it was hilarious.

1437
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:25,580
very eye-opening world of board members to see what a third-rate or was being tested on.

1438
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:29,920
Yes, it was a very, very eye-opening.

1439
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:34,220
Any other questions on this topic?

1440
01:39:36,100 --> 01:39:36,900
Okay, thank you, Ty.

1441
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:38,820
Thank you, teachers, administrators.

1442
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:43,040
We hope to see the work go forward.

1443
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,380
My question would be, is there anything the board can do to help you,

1444
01:39:46,380 --> 01:39:50,640
especially those who are not happy with the way their trends are.

1445
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:52,260
Is there something that we can help you with?

1446
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:56,480
I would just ask, if you have parents who are routinely

1447
01:39:56,480 --> 01:40:00,780
speak with you, whether it be the store or just near regular,

1448
01:40:00,980 --> 01:40:04,220
just direct them back to classroom teachers too,

1449
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:06,760
because I think the advocacy is very important too.

1450
01:40:08,500 --> 01:40:09,900
You know, your doors are open to that.

1451
01:40:09,900 --> 01:40:10,940
Correct, nice of you.

1452
01:40:11,100 --> 01:40:12,180
Appreciate it.

1453
01:40:12,420 --> 01:40:14,520
All right, next topic.

1454
01:40:15,620 --> 01:40:20,740
student handbooks. So this really there's really no formal action. He's taken just as

1455
01:40:20,740 --> 01:40:27,740
more of we placed copies to student handbooks in the board of view, which is if there

1456
01:40:27,740 --> 01:40:31,800
are any questions or have to do a dress or talk to you at the side of the day.

1457
01:40:32,140 --> 01:40:37,940
I thought the coaching handbook looked really good. I do think there was an odd line in there

1458
01:40:37,940 --> 01:40:44,180
about how we work for a valley year or something. I think it probably should have been

1459
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:52,400
I understand what you're saying, but what it said was, essentially, if you weren't wearing

1460
01:40:52,400 --> 01:41:00,580
Cory Valley-esque shirts, that a Cory Valley shirt that you would be in violation of the

1461
01:41:00,580 --> 01:41:01,040
dress code.

1462
01:41:01,140 --> 01:41:08,640
I think what it meant to say was if you weren't wearing the appropriate school i.e. Cory Valley

1463
01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:11,300
like you shouldn't show up in a different school or something.

1464
01:41:11,300 --> 01:41:15,660
If I'm coaching at West Rotland, I should have green and gold and something.

1465
01:41:15,860 --> 01:41:17,360
I mean, not dark or not.

1466
01:41:17,540 --> 01:41:18,960
Not darkness or somewhere.

1467
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:22,640
But it says that the line says pouring down.

1468
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:29,520
So I just thought that was, but I thought the essence of it.

1469
01:41:29,740 --> 01:41:32,280
I like that we have a collective book that way.

1470
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:37,360
I think just having that is a starting point.

1471
01:41:37,500 --> 01:41:41,280
I'm sure after this year there's probably a couple things in there that I would come back.

1472
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:44,620
but I think it's a good starting point.

1473
01:41:44,820 --> 01:41:46,780
That's online. Do you have a question online?

1474
01:41:47,380 --> 01:41:48,300
It's in our folders.

1475
01:41:48,820 --> 01:41:48,880
Yeah.

1476
01:41:49,460 --> 01:41:50,420
It's in your drive.

1477
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:51,780
Do you have a question online?

1478
01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:54,740
All right.

1479
01:41:55,060 --> 01:41:55,480
Go to it.

1480
01:41:55,820 --> 01:41:56,940
Any more comments?

1481
01:41:57,300 --> 01:41:57,320
Yes.

1482
01:41:57,320 --> 01:41:59,180
Yes. I think it does.

1483
01:41:59,300 --> 01:42:00,980
And who enforce is that?

1484
01:42:01,020 --> 01:42:01,680
The 80s.

1485
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:02,160
The 80s.

1486
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:10,840
Next item of business is a point of two possible.

1487
01:42:11,500 --> 01:42:12,740
the landowner agreement.

1488
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:13,800
Well, landowner agreement.

1489
01:42:13,900 --> 01:42:14,580
Well, landowner agreement.

1490
01:42:14,580 --> 01:42:15,480
Okay, landowner agreement.

1491
01:42:15,780 --> 01:42:15,980
All right.

1492
01:42:17,300 --> 01:42:17,800
That's enough.

1493
01:42:18,480 --> 01:42:20,100
Okay, who wants to present this?

1494
01:42:21,740 --> 01:42:22,000
The landowner.

1495
01:42:22,300 --> 01:42:22,320
The landowner.

1496
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:24,120
The landowner's going to be the one.

1497
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:26,820
So, um, this is actually fourfold.

1498
01:42:26,820 --> 01:42:31,120
The islandowner's goal is you like, this has been going on forever and a day.

1499
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:33,580
Um, we're going to pass it.

1500
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:39,500
I, um, must have been more time with the attorney about this and know more about the trail.

1501
01:42:39,500 --> 01:42:42,220
I don't know that I probably ever needed to know.

1502
01:42:44,020 --> 01:42:52,620
We did have a call and went through and cleaned up a lot of things that I think when

1503
01:42:52,620 --> 01:42:57,300
Eric was here, he and I had talked and gone over something that we've got, we're problematic.

1504
01:42:58,480 --> 01:43:04,540
And just talked through so that the items that we have are, it's essentially just protecting

1505
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:06,160
us.

1506
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:10,200
Would you reference a page and paragraph?

1507
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:11,600
These are so if...

1508
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:12,940
I don't have many issues.

1509
01:43:13,060 --> 01:43:18,280
I've read this so many times that I'm at the point now that you don't want me.

1510
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:22,960
I can probably even though we think memorization and wrote our bad things.

1511
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:25,180
That's about where I'm at, what can we do in our agreement.

1512
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:28,120
So I would recommend moving forward.

1513
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:28,940
I don't know.

1514
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:35,080
I'm just saying next step is give it to the organization to review or have they review.

1515
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:44,580
So we would go back to Mick Letty, who works with Chris Leopold's firm, who deals specifically

1516
01:43:44,580 --> 01:43:51,060
with these type of contracts, and then he would then coordinate with the for a bike association

1517
01:43:51,060 --> 01:43:56,960
or the slate was a slave ballet trail, and then with their attorney or their representative

1518
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:05,060
representation, and then once they both parties agreed to it, then we would go back to the

1519
01:44:05,060 --> 01:44:10,500
If after we send it to them and they come back with issues, if they're concerns in there,

1520
01:44:10,860 --> 01:44:15,900
that you allow Chris and I then to meet with our attorney again, because we've been

1521
01:44:15,900 --> 01:44:23,640
the constant dealing with this, and he changes that we've made, or things we've done have been on

1522
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:31,260
the, with the attorney, and it's been about protecting landowners rights.

1523
01:44:31,260 --> 01:44:38,180
You'll still have to come back to this board to write a case and so let's go back to this late colleague and they reveal what their attorney

1524
01:44:38,180 --> 01:44:42,960
They may come back and not like we did we have changed a multitude of things

1525
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:51,540
So if they come back and have concerns about that I would just ask that it'd be a lot to come back to Chris and myself and the attorney and for

1526
01:44:51,540 --> 01:44:59,980
Or to allow us to review up what are attorney any possible changes before it comes back here as a final I do that to be

1527
01:45:02,740 --> 01:45:12,500
Okay, thank you. And that may take another month or two before that process takes place. So it's ongoing. It's ongoing. Very good. Thank you, Lisa, for your effort on that.

1528
01:45:12,500 --> 01:45:16,480
Chris and to our attorney staff there.

1529
01:45:16,740 --> 01:45:19,820
All right, four members.

1530
01:45:20,580 --> 01:45:23,760
We have, I believe, a couple of candidates here tonight

1531
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:25,320
that have expressed interest.

1532
01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:27,700
Several, three, two, one.

1533
01:45:28,820 --> 01:45:30,580
So what we'd like to do is,

1534
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,760
we'd like to have you introduce yourself.

1535
01:45:34,780 --> 01:45:36,420
I'd like to put around, I'm sorry, Europe.

1536
01:45:36,480 --> 01:45:39,320
But I just want to clarify just how it's worried on the agenda

1537
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:40,900
that there are two seats.

1538
01:45:42,220 --> 01:45:48,540
So, one seat, you know, they'll obviously, you know, we have two seats, both will serve

1539
01:45:48,540 --> 01:45:53,580
through March, but then both will have to then, you know, run through, you know, run through

1540
01:45:53,580 --> 01:45:53,920
the election.

1541
01:45:54,140 --> 01:45:59,360
The first seat though will have one year, so, you know, after in March, so the March will have

1542
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:00,940
one year remaining for March.

1543
01:46:00,940 --> 01:46:02,340
The second seat will have two year.

1544
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:08,420
So, both will go up until March, but then in March, the election won't be a one year.

1545
01:46:08,420 --> 01:46:11,160
And then it's not going to be a tear, does that make sense, everybody?

1546
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:18,220
So we just need to make sure that whichever to, we appoint, we have to appoint one do the, you know,

1547
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:21,560
seat number one and one to seat number two and understanding what the length of the terms are.

1548
01:46:22,420 --> 01:46:26,460
And also the candidates will need to understand what the processes to get your name on the ballot.

1549
01:46:26,820 --> 01:46:29,360
There's definitely a process if you haven't done that before.

1550
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:33,360
Your clerk will be happy to share that with you.

1551
01:46:33,660 --> 01:46:37,400
And there are some requirements and there are also some timeframes that you need to file that.

1552
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:39,460
So we'll go from there.

1553
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:43,280
So I guess we'll start with who would like to start.

1554
01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:44,080
How about that?

1555
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:45,260
We'll give you that.

1556
01:46:45,500 --> 01:46:46,840
See how bold you are right now.

1557
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:47,800
Who would like to start?

1558
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:49,920
OK, please, your name.

1559
01:46:50,220 --> 01:46:51,320
Ashley Converse.

1560
01:46:51,980 --> 01:46:52,740
Ashley, OK, Ashley.

1561
01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:53,600
Can we from Ashley?

1562
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:54,960
I am from Holtene.

1563
01:46:56,240 --> 01:46:57,960
OK, trust me a little bit about yourself.

1564
01:46:59,100 --> 01:47:02,840
I'm a mom of a recent Holtene high school graduate

1565
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:08,600
It's an almost fifth grader, so that's exciting.

1566
01:47:09,060 --> 01:47:14,880
I'm also a resident of Holtene's since I was nine years old, graduated from Holtene

1567
01:47:14,880 --> 01:47:20,700
High School, and even for a while I worked at Holtene High School as a parent educator,

1568
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:26,860
and I kind of worked my way up when back to school, and now I'm the director of student support

1569
01:47:26,860 --> 01:47:29,480
services for the Vermont Department of Corrections.

1570
01:47:30,860 --> 01:47:39,820
So a lot of experience with education on the education track as well, and it's kind of like

1571
01:47:40,380 --> 01:47:44,920
really close to my heart to work with students with special education, make sure that people

1572
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:51,900
have what they need, and to kind of put an end to the school to present pipeline, like

1573
01:47:51,900 --> 01:47:56,980
and this way I could be on the other side if I were to sit down on the board.

1574
01:47:57,900 --> 01:48:00,020
So what is your desire to be on the board?

1575
01:48:03,060 --> 01:48:05,580
Yeah, what is your desire?

1576
01:48:06,780 --> 01:48:09,840
Yes, my desire is to be on the board.

1577
01:48:09,900 --> 01:48:10,320
On the board?

1578
01:48:11,820 --> 01:48:13,000
Anything else?

1579
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:14,580
That's it, thank you.

1580
01:48:14,780 --> 01:48:15,980
Okay, all right.

1581
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:18,340
So make it a unique to you last.

1582
01:48:18,340 --> 01:48:20,780
Do this here on the floor of this house.

1583
01:48:23,660 --> 01:48:25,140
My name is Matthew Dingman.

1584
01:48:25,460 --> 01:48:26,240
Say that again, please.

1585
01:48:26,380 --> 01:48:26,860
So I can hear it?

1586
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:28,140
My name is Matthew Dingman.

1587
01:48:30,140 --> 01:48:30,960
I live in Paul Me.

1588
01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:35,040
I've been a resident for about three years with my wife.

1589
01:48:35,700 --> 01:48:39,020
She graduated from Fairhaven on the transplant from New York.

1590
01:48:43,070 --> 01:48:48,170
We have two kids, a stepdaughter, who's going into seven-grading Paul Me.

1591
01:48:48,170 --> 01:49:16,490
And a two-year-old son is, hopefully, we'll go through all the elementary school and through, and I currently work in the apprentice program at GE, up here in Rutland, and in my second year doing that, so I have a lot of school in myself that I have to go through and go through cast, and university, and I'm trying to take extra glass on the side to finish up my bachelor's degree as well, so.

1592
01:49:17,410 --> 01:49:24,790
figure, try to join the board to just help the community and see what I can do to help my kids.

1593
01:49:26,470 --> 01:49:32,270
Pretty good, thank you, Matt. Thank you. Hello, my name is Megan All. I am a

1594
01:49:32,270 --> 01:49:38,230
completely resident. I've lived there for maybe like 14 years, I think. Something like that.

1595
01:49:38,530 --> 01:49:42,250
I have three kids and put me on my preschool which we love for great school.

1596
01:49:42,250 --> 01:49:51,330
So, in terms of my experience and education, I went to school, I know, but I am a licensed

1597
01:49:51,330 --> 01:49:53,990
project management professional and I do work for a large company.

1598
01:49:54,010 --> 01:49:54,830
Your life is what?

1599
01:49:54,830 --> 01:49:56,050
Project management professional.

1600
01:49:56,370 --> 01:50:01,850
So, I have a lot of experience, you know, coordinating things and asking the right questions, making

1601
01:50:01,850 --> 01:50:03,730
sure things get done and where they should be.

1602
01:50:03,990 --> 01:50:07,830
So, I think I can really bring that to the board if anybody needs help with that and I really

1603
01:50:07,830 --> 01:50:12,210
have a vested interest in the success of our union.

1604
01:50:12,210 --> 01:50:15,330
So, yeah, it's meeting all of them.

1605
01:50:16,390 --> 01:50:17,050
All right.

1606
01:50:18,310 --> 01:50:21,910
So at this time, what I would propose to do is to table these members or these applicants

1607
01:50:21,910 --> 01:50:26,190
for a month to allow the board members to get in contact with.

1608
01:50:26,390 --> 01:50:30,410
And to be also note that I don't know if we've published this out yet.

1609
01:50:30,810 --> 01:50:34,250
So it's maybe the first time the public knows about these vacancies.

1610
01:50:34,410 --> 01:50:36,890
So we want to make sure that they have an opportunity.

1611
01:50:37,690 --> 01:50:40,570
So if I could get a motion to table till next month,

1612
01:50:40,570 --> 01:50:42,970
I appreciate that.

1613
01:50:44,510 --> 01:50:45,070
Okay.

1614
01:50:46,390 --> 01:50:47,710
Any further discussion on that?

1615
01:50:49,780 --> 01:50:50,300
All in favour?

1616
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:52,060
All right.

1617
01:50:52,540 --> 01:50:53,160
Any opposed?

1618
01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:54,800
Okay.

1619
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:57,540
As they will say, we'll be in touch.

1620
01:51:02,260 --> 01:51:05,300
And would you make your email and phone number available?

1621
01:51:05,460 --> 01:51:06,580
To members who may be...

1622
01:51:06,580 --> 01:51:07,120
We have it.

1623
01:51:07,300 --> 01:51:07,880
Christian, okay.

1624
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:09,180
All right.

1625
01:51:09,180 --> 01:51:09,480
All right.

1626
01:51:09,900 --> 01:51:10,200
Okay.

1627
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:16,760
so we'll let you know. How's that? Okay, thank you. You can stay and see what happens

1628
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:24,320
which is probably a good thing if you want to be on the board. Let's see, okay, let's see,

1629
01:51:24,700 --> 01:51:27,420
Georgia Committee appointment. This is a big one here.

1630
01:51:30,110 --> 01:51:33,810
We've talked about this to some degree,

1631
01:51:33,810 --> 01:51:42,090
The merger for a couple years, we're not in a position where the state is mandating and

1632
01:51:42,090 --> 01:51:47,190
conversation again about the possibility of mergers there.

1633
01:51:48,210 --> 01:51:54,600
So I believe that I don't know how many sleep values appointed?

1634
01:51:55,140 --> 01:51:57,120
Do we know what the number is to that?

1635
01:51:57,940 --> 01:51:58,380
For sleep?

1636
01:51:58,600 --> 01:51:59,520
I don't know.

1637
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:07,220
So right now all that so all that we know is that each district has to appoint one representative

1638
01:52:07,220 --> 01:52:13,920
I know that the state is currently trying to figure out equal representation what they may look like

1639
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:23,800
but by statute by September 15th this board has to appoint one member now we may find out between now and then

1640
01:52:23,800 --> 01:52:25,760
that there we made conditional numbers.

1641
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:29,960
No, no, no, because cornstarch, like we've missed it.

1642
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:41,180
Like Setsley Valley, we'll have one representative, which would be the same, you know, about our position in say, Rutland town, who was one school, one town, Setsley Valley is a larger supervisor of districts.

1643
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:56,620
And so there were a lot of conversations about how they increased representation, but then they started to see that we think I've made these up to 130 members, which is, which is, that's just the same.

1644
01:52:56,620 --> 01:53:05,900
It would not work, so we don't know, so by statute, this board just has to appoint one, and then if we receive more information,

1645
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:14,020
then we can look at increase in the information that will come back to the board for that decision book.

1646
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:19,980
And I just to note that this board does meet again prior to September 15th.

1647
01:53:19,980 --> 01:53:24,860
of the board like to have time to think about that, we could go back and sit down for

1648
01:53:24,860 --> 01:53:29,020
our September 10th and then vote at that time as well, which we may have more information

1649
01:53:29,020 --> 01:53:32,600
as well about, fully members will. Just put it out there for the board, that time.

1650
01:53:32,600 --> 01:53:33,600
How is it just doing?

1651
01:53:34,760 --> 01:53:35,700
What is that Lisa?

1652
01:53:36,060 --> 01:53:37,980
I would suggest waiting until the second time.

1653
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,540
Is there any disagreement on waiting for a month?

1654
01:53:41,020 --> 01:53:43,620
Consider what member we would like to appoint to that board.

1655
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:47,820
And maybe by that time we'd have more information as to how to proceed.

1656
01:53:47,820 --> 01:53:54,100
is right? Okay, so what does that board mean? They're for us. They don't have to be

1657
01:53:54,100 --> 01:53:59,360
in October, but the board is established and they will talk about the frequency of

1658
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:04,680
meetings, the time of meetings. Are you talking about the 15th times out to date that you

1659
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:09,240
were talking about the September 15th? I think it's just asking, I'll just be able to do

1660
01:54:09,240 --> 01:54:13,780
it where working people can do it. You know, not like you're 10 in the morning or

1661
01:54:13,780 --> 01:54:14,420
Correct.

1662
01:54:14,420 --> 01:54:20,500
I think that these boards are comprised of solar board members, so I think you'll see more

1663
01:54:20,500 --> 01:54:27,040
evening meetings than you would say most of the CSATs, almost every CSAT board is comprised

1664
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:31,480
of superintendents, and it's being held at the end of the year.

1665
01:54:31,740 --> 01:54:32,660
It's been held at the end of the year.

1666
01:54:32,660 --> 01:54:32,820
It's been held at the end of the year.

1667
01:54:32,820 --> 01:54:33,080
It's been held at the end of the year.

1668
01:54:33,080 --> 01:54:34,800
It's been held at the end of the year.

1669
01:54:35,540 --> 01:54:40,980
I'll just say from the CSAT, we're only required to be four times a year, but we decide

1670
01:54:40,980 --> 01:54:43,700
that we're going to meet on a monthly basis just because of the work that needs

1671
01:54:43,700 --> 01:54:49,900
be done, I would assume that the verdict committee is particularly, you're on a much more aggressive

1672
01:54:49,900 --> 01:54:54,440
timeline than ceases are, because by the fall of next year, that has to be a report

1673
01:54:54,440 --> 01:55:00,700
ready to go, so you're on a look at the, or truncated timeline in the ceases.

1674
01:55:01,860 --> 01:55:08,220
So, you were talking, we have to maybe get money to this new person, you're going to run

1675
01:55:08,220 --> 01:55:10,960
everything, a new committee or whatever.

1676
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:13,980
How long is that going to be in place or do we know that yet?

1677
01:55:14,220 --> 01:55:19,180
Right now it's statutes law, so until they decide otherwise.

1678
01:55:19,260 --> 01:55:21,680
It's a place where you're passing different laws.

1679
01:55:22,200 --> 01:55:22,540
Yeah, that's it.

1680
01:55:23,180 --> 01:55:27,240
So at the time I think that I think really the concern is always the first year.

1681
01:55:27,500 --> 01:55:40,430
Because I think if you look at in theory that the cost of saying is that the director could be all set by other reduced savings throughout their shared services.

1682
01:55:40,430 --> 01:55:48,090
So if, like, say, we went to, like, a much larger business structure, a financial model within

1683
01:55:48,090 --> 01:55:54,690
our region, and we can, there are some consolidation there, services, or, you know, through

1684
01:55:54,690 --> 01:56:00,870
special education, there would be reduced cost to that cost, but then pay for that position

1685
01:56:00,870 --> 01:56:03,370
as well as provide savings back to districts.

1686
01:56:03,510 --> 01:56:08,730
But the issue that we found is, right now, we're not in a position work to be around budgeting

1687
01:56:09,590 --> 01:56:14,390
to make those cuts, we're looking at right now just cost and so we're looking at, do we find

1688
01:56:14,390 --> 01:56:20,850
somebody for that $50,000 budget just for this year so I think that's just, you know, the

1689
01:56:21,250 --> 01:56:26,490
conversation we're still trying to have is, because as I said this to me, I don't play our

1690
01:56:26,490 --> 01:56:31,250
goal as I can't, I said I can't come back to our board and say, well, we need more money.

1691
01:56:31,790 --> 01:56:35,750
You know, particularly when we don't have them, the vision we don't have is a plan approach,

1692
01:56:35,750 --> 01:56:40,350
So we're out of strut. It was not intended to be just another thing we're going to do.

1693
01:56:40,570 --> 01:56:43,390
Like we're great. Here's another unfunding minute that we now have to fund.

1694
01:56:43,690 --> 01:56:45,730
But that's not what the purpose of this was.

1695
01:56:46,070 --> 01:56:49,890
Major committees a little bit different as the conversations really will be around.

1696
01:56:50,750 --> 01:56:54,230
What does this look like and, you know, just, you know, more regionally.

1697
01:56:54,610 --> 01:56:58,690
So, and I do know that there have been discussions at the Wall Street War about

1698
01:56:58,690 --> 01:57:04,010
well enough. They want to join with the rest of the GRCSU or to stay.

1699
01:57:04,010 --> 01:57:08,510
so that there are some shifting and moving of verticalities as well.

1700
01:57:08,850 --> 01:57:13,230
So is there a timeline when they have to say comment with us or their temperature?

1701
01:57:13,550 --> 01:57:20,570
We don't know that yet, so what are going to the zoo board that's happening?

1702
01:57:20,830 --> 01:57:27,840
Do we have a, say they're doing something and they need an extra however much money?

1703
01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:30,300
Are we talking about CSP?

1704
01:57:30,620 --> 01:57:33,980
Yeah, I'll just be bored if we say no or we don't.

1705
01:57:33,980 --> 01:57:42,660
So that's a question too, is the CSSA and I brought this up that we are we are we're

1706
01:57:42,660 --> 01:57:50,460
a service. We're not an independent board and so we know we can't make this financial decisions

1707
01:57:50,460 --> 01:57:57,520
independent of our own board. And so therefore we have to come back to the boards and discuss financial

1708
01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:02,460
applications of decision making what that looks like and that's what these executive directors should be

1709
01:58:02,460 --> 01:58:10,520
doing and helping navigate those conversations, but, but legislature mandates us to be a member

1710
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:11,240
of the point.

1711
01:58:11,940 --> 01:58:15,100
So, the whole fiscal component is a little-

1712
01:58:15,100 --> 01:58:17,020
Shade, murky, correct?

1713
01:58:17,020 --> 01:58:22,360
Because it becomes a taxing district because it's mandated and we're mandated to be.

1714
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:29,760
And back to Tom's question about savings or your comment about savings, not to be the negative

1715
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:37,820
But I see a little bit of it kind of like at 46 around the savings. Remember how we are going to save and

1716
01:58:37,820 --> 01:58:44,860
Remember the propaganda tour when they came from up north and they say $2 million when they merged

1717
01:58:44,860 --> 01:58:47,320
one time

1718
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:49,600
One time when they merged

1719
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:53,680
So you may move everyone to this new

1720
01:58:53,680 --> 01:58:59,040
into entity, but you're only saving that. It is all done to it.

1721
01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:08,600
One talent. And as we even saw here, those savings you had, the first year, didn't

1722
01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:17,700
stay at that level. We have added staff at the SG level. So I do think you have to take

1723
01:59:17,700 --> 01:59:23,660
a little bit or what they say about savings with the pretty big green assault in my

1724
01:59:24,220 --> 01:59:27,840
So you have the CSA and you have the merger committee, sort of two different things.

1725
01:59:27,900 --> 01:59:43,280
Well, the merger committee is something that I would just say from our perspective, it has to be someone that is attuned to what we want and will attend every meeting because you can't afford to not be present at the table.

1726
01:59:43,820 --> 01:59:49,540
They are going to write a report. They are going to re-align and do things.

1727
01:59:49,540 --> 01:59:56,400
And if we are not at the table in front of the world, you will become somebody else's pony.

1728
01:59:56,860 --> 01:59:59,080
So when you said about advocacy, what?

1729
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:04,040
I don't have some say now with GRCSU. Thank you.

1730
02:00:04,240 --> 02:00:10,340
Well, I see what you're saying. This is more at the state level.

1731
02:00:10,560 --> 02:00:14,740
I did, but I'm just saying, yeah. I don't know.

1732
02:00:15,200 --> 02:00:23,560
And I think that conversation did in some respects come up at the issue board about if a district

1733
02:00:23,560 --> 02:00:31,070
isn't going to move with us, even in merger study, how much are they moving with us

1734
02:00:32,380 --> 02:00:36,480
in terms of the issue? How into and are you with us?

1735
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:43,740
Well, I'm just saying that that was a conversation. But I do think that with respect to the merger,

1736
02:00:44,420 --> 02:00:49,580
they're going to write a report. Now, who knows what the legislation is going to look like

1737
02:00:49,580 --> 02:00:54,380
or if they're going to repeal it, but just like with the CSA, as Chris said, it's going

1738
02:00:54,380 --> 02:01:01,160
to be on the box until somebody else under the Golden Dome says it's no longer or they

1739
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:05,800
put Kule down and say, oh, this maybe wasn't this much thing, another unfunded mandate

1740
02:01:05,800 --> 02:01:11,540
that we want to stand up here and stand them so box and scream about how high property

1741
02:01:11,540 --> 02:01:16,740
tax are and how much money they're spending, but we've just spent another unfunded mandate

1742
02:01:16,740 --> 02:01:17,480
at them.

1743
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:24,380
What I was trying to ask is Cori Valley going to have a little bit of say or are they going to

1744
02:01:24,380 --> 02:01:27,160
GRCSU going to have to say, I'm always mad.

1745
02:01:27,540 --> 02:01:27,940
Why this season?

1746
02:01:27,940 --> 02:01:28,660
You know what I'm saying?

1747
02:01:29,140 --> 02:01:32,880
So this is a discussion that I have to be had in all local districts.

1748
02:01:33,020 --> 02:01:34,320
I know this is all new.

1749
02:01:34,660 --> 02:01:34,920
Right.

1750
02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:36,360
And I think it's still happening.

1751
02:01:36,740 --> 02:01:37,020
Right.

1752
02:01:37,660 --> 02:01:37,900
Correct.

1753
02:01:38,140 --> 02:01:39,180
The valley has.

1754
02:01:39,700 --> 02:01:43,500
So every board will have input and say in terms of what's going on.

1755
02:01:43,740 --> 02:01:43,820
Yes.

1756
02:01:43,820 --> 02:01:49,080
That's why in consideration who we want to appoint to that, we need to think about those issues.

1757
02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:51,200
Well, that's merger. We're talking about that.

1758
02:01:51,200 --> 02:01:51,780
Right, we're talking about that.

1759
02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:53,220
We're going to do different.

1760
02:01:53,820 --> 02:01:56,880
Yep, yep. Yes, it would not be interested in us to you.

1761
02:01:56,880 --> 02:02:01,260
Yeah, I mean, there will be items that we brought by law.

1762
02:02:01,800 --> 02:02:03,500
You have to bring back a report back to the issue,

1763
02:02:03,760 --> 02:02:10,480
but that seems to be back to all the local boards of conversations with each local board about what this looks like,

1764
02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:16,680
implications of the decision-making, the financial cost, what sort of services or benefits

1765
02:02:16,680 --> 02:02:22,380
that this could provide, and that will then be brought back, and it will be brought to

1766
02:02:22,380 --> 02:02:22,760
this board.

1767
02:02:22,800 --> 02:02:28,620
Yes, it should be because, let's say, CISA assesses us and says we have to pay $100,000 to

1768
02:02:28,620 --> 02:02:29,480
be a member.

1769
02:02:30,320 --> 02:02:37,240
We're going to pay the bulk of that $100,000 because if you're assessed to be in the issue,

1770
02:02:37,900 --> 02:02:38,000
correct.

1771
02:02:38,420 --> 02:02:39,680
So you'll have to say.

1772
02:02:39,680 --> 02:02:46,600
So that should come back to each individual district or to have a conversation.

1773
02:02:47,280 --> 02:02:52,720
So I would table this until next month think about which board member you'd like to be.

1774
02:02:52,880 --> 02:02:54,100
And I hope we have more information.

1775
02:02:55,780 --> 02:02:56,920
So that would be a...

1776
02:02:56,920 --> 02:03:01,100
And I do noticely value a point of two members to the merger study.

1777
02:03:01,460 --> 02:03:05,940
Knowing they had a vote but they're having a point of two people.

1778
02:03:05,940 --> 02:03:13,700
Okay, it will be a pull-up meeting, so anybody could attend to us just it's who as opposed to that that's what the try-for-out who has

1779
02:03:13,700 --> 02:03:15,020
sweetest show up

1780
02:03:15,780 --> 02:03:21,460
So that'll be on our agenda for next month think about who you'd like to up to a point for that

1781
02:03:21,460 --> 02:03:23,360
Move forward to that point of time

1782
02:03:24,140 --> 02:03:25,960
Any more discussion on that

1783
02:03:26,900 --> 02:03:27,420
okay

1784
02:03:29,700 --> 02:03:34,380
F28 student use of cell phones first read anybody read that

1785
02:03:36,080 --> 02:03:37,940
Any discussion on that?

1786
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:45,080
Okay. Oh, I'll make a motion to approve for the first three first three. This is me a motion to

1787
02:03:45,680 --> 02:03:47,340
Accept that as a first read

1788
02:03:48,810 --> 02:03:51,150
In discussion on

1789
02:03:52,400 --> 02:03:53,400
Favorite

1790
02:03:54,100 --> 02:03:55,900
Any opposed? I

1791
02:03:57,740 --> 02:03:59,920
Okay, then you do roll call

1792
02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:03,480
Okay

1793
02:04:03,480 --> 02:04:09,920
I can be a number. It's okay. Yeah, so so

1794
02:04:10,640 --> 02:04:16,920
do quick local Lisa? Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay, Lisa. Tom? Can I ask a question?

1795
02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:22,700
Sure. Is there something in there you don't like? It's it's it's this is a it's an

1796
02:04:22,700 --> 02:04:30,840
AOE right model policy has to go forward. So it's we take more time than the research

1797
02:04:30,840 --> 02:04:37,080
doesn't support it's a whole big thing. I just want to be on the record because I know

1798
02:04:37,080 --> 02:04:42,280
Yeah, because I have yeah, that's all. Oh, I will. This policy's already. By a lot of the policy's already.

1799
02:04:42,600 --> 02:04:45,340
This is a, this is a conscientious.

1800
02:04:45,860 --> 02:04:46,680
This is a conscientious.

1801
02:04:46,680 --> 02:04:47,340
Thank you.

1802
02:04:49,060 --> 02:04:51,020
Yeah, that's it.

1803
02:04:51,500 --> 02:04:52,020
Yeah, that's it.

1804
02:04:52,740 --> 02:04:53,440
I'm a disagree.

1805
02:04:53,600 --> 02:04:54,380
No, that's not bad.

1806
02:04:54,860 --> 02:04:55,540
Yeah, Tom.

1807
02:04:56,320 --> 02:04:56,560
Tom.

1808
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:57,480
Do you want?

1809
02:04:57,480 --> 02:04:58,120
Yes or no.

1810
02:04:58,980 --> 02:04:59,520
Okay.

1811
02:05:01,160 --> 02:05:01,360
Okay.

1812
02:05:02,240 --> 02:05:03,620
Lawrence and no.

1813
02:05:03,940 --> 02:05:04,060
Hi.

1814
02:05:04,720 --> 02:05:05,020
Yes.

1815
02:05:05,200 --> 02:05:05,580
Okay.

1816
02:05:05,580 --> 02:05:09,000
Sarah? No. Okay. All right.

1817
02:05:11,190 --> 02:05:14,110
That's a, or it's a stay in three to three to two. All right.

1818
02:05:15,310 --> 02:05:18,330
Four to three. Sure, it doesn't have to go.

1819
02:05:20,430 --> 02:05:26,270
Yeah, but you usually get with the majority, so technically it's, it's four to four to two. Yes. Okay.

1820
02:05:27,010 --> 02:05:32,890
All right, first read. We'll read it again next month. So look it up and read it.

1821
02:05:32,890 --> 02:05:35,090
We do not have to manage it.

1822
02:05:35,730 --> 02:05:36,830
And that's still legislative.

1823
02:05:37,510 --> 02:05:37,930
Exactly.

1824
02:05:38,730 --> 02:05:39,670
All right.

1825
02:05:39,770 --> 02:05:40,290
Finance.

1826
02:05:41,150 --> 02:05:42,630
We don't see the Lewis here.

1827
02:05:43,090 --> 02:05:44,950
Is there anything that needs to be brought up based on it?

1828
02:05:44,950 --> 02:05:47,670
We have in our resource folder.

1829
02:05:47,930 --> 02:05:48,790
Yes, there it is.

1830
02:05:48,790 --> 02:05:50,430
The surplus of compensation.

1831
02:05:50,710 --> 02:05:52,070
Yes, there is.

1832
02:05:52,350 --> 02:05:55,870
Did you want to start that?

1833
02:05:56,190 --> 02:05:57,750
I need to find it.

1834
02:06:02,660 --> 02:06:04,540
Well, Lisa's looking at...

1835
02:06:04,540 --> 02:06:11,060
budget tax. It's titled 2026-8corayvalid.pdf is the final name.

1836
02:06:15,120 --> 02:06:17,720
Is it in the Corayvalid folder?

1837
02:06:18,300 --> 02:06:22,380
It is. It's number nine, Lisa, in the meeting materials folder.

1838
02:06:25,240 --> 02:06:27,100
I'll sorry they're all number goodbye.

1839
02:06:29,520 --> 02:06:31,380
It's the first number nine in the list.

1840
02:06:33,920 --> 02:06:35,110
It's just number nine.

1841
02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:37,980
You should be in your packet.

1842
02:06:37,980 --> 02:06:38,860
That's what we're here.

1843
02:06:38,980 --> 02:06:40,800
August 26th.

1844
02:06:41,700 --> 02:06:42,420
So, yeah.

1845
02:06:42,580 --> 02:06:44,520
It's the one that says we have a...

1846
02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:44,680
Yeah.

1847
02:06:46,720 --> 02:06:47,760
638,797.

1848
02:06:48,740 --> 02:06:50,440
That would be 22 cent surplus.

1849
02:06:50,620 --> 02:06:53,060
I think the question was, the big question was,

1850
02:06:53,100 --> 02:06:57,100
do we want to put money back into the capital fund?

1851
02:06:57,400 --> 02:07:02,420
And I would strongly support doing that.

1852
02:07:04,210 --> 02:07:04,990
Is that a motion?

1853
02:07:06,530 --> 02:07:15,650
I'll make the motion, so move 168,000 from the surplus to the capital of 5.

1854
02:07:16,070 --> 02:07:17,830
Was that 168,000?

1855
02:07:18,050 --> 02:07:19,930
Yeah, okay, even, all right.

1856
02:07:20,190 --> 02:07:26,830
Okay, motions were made to take 168,000 of our surplus and move it back to the capital

1857
02:07:26,830 --> 02:07:29,590
fund and you discussion on that.

1858
02:07:30,210 --> 02:07:46,170
Yes, the discussion is should we move more. In the way the actual wording from this two is, does the board want to transfer some or all of that to the general fund and put the funds back to 168,000, back into the capital improvement fund?

1859
02:07:46,650 --> 02:07:50,030
Right, right. Once or something back.

1860
02:07:50,030 --> 02:07:52,650
or some percentage at right, some part of it.

1861
02:07:52,750 --> 02:07:55,130
I mean, the 168th and recoups,

1862
02:07:55,130 --> 02:07:57,290
but we've spent out, that's far.

1863
02:07:57,950 --> 02:08:00,450
What allows us the opportunity of something

1864
02:08:00,450 --> 02:08:03,470
comes up to have that back and that fun,

1865
02:08:03,690 --> 02:08:04,950
and I have a lot of my breaking.

1866
02:08:05,370 --> 02:08:06,710
Not out to pick line.

1867
02:08:07,070 --> 02:08:08,610
Do you want to amend your motion, Lisa?

1868
02:08:08,990 --> 02:08:10,810
I know, I'm just having discussion.

1869
02:08:11,790 --> 02:08:13,670
Discussion for discussion is,

1870
02:08:13,790 --> 02:08:18,550
do people feel like that is what we should put back in,

1871
02:08:18,550 --> 02:08:22,030
or should we put more than 168 back in?

1872
02:08:26,690 --> 02:08:28,190
It's a pretty simple.

1873
02:08:29,090 --> 02:08:34,230
In relationship to other districts, what is our surplus?

1874
02:08:35,430 --> 02:08:37,130
It seems pretty substantial.

1875
02:08:39,680 --> 02:08:40,680
I don't have those numbers.

1876
02:08:40,900 --> 02:08:43,420
I mean, obviously, you know, courbos may have a higher surplus.

1877
02:08:43,700 --> 02:08:43,880
Right.

1878
02:08:44,300 --> 02:08:46,960
You might maybe rather count what those were.

1879
02:08:47,300 --> 02:08:48,580
I'd have to take a look at it.

1880
02:08:49,060 --> 02:08:50,080
I don't have that number.

1881
02:08:50,300 --> 02:08:53,700
I know that all three districts have surplus this year.

1882
02:08:53,700 --> 02:08:57,140
But I don't know the off end.

1883
02:09:00,230 --> 02:09:01,430
What is your pleasure?

1884
02:09:04,750 --> 02:09:10,990
I think moving the 168 makes logical sense to put it back in. You spend it, but you're very good to.

1885
02:09:12,090 --> 02:09:15,890
So, what have we were just making an even 200,000? Just to have that out of it.

1886
02:09:15,890 --> 02:09:19,150
I'm happy to amend and say 200,000.

1887
02:09:19,350 --> 02:09:20,950
Right, like the round numbers, huh?

1888
02:09:21,630 --> 02:09:26,010
I mean, it makes sense. We have old buildings, weird things come up, and that's what's happened.

1889
02:09:26,010 --> 02:09:27,970
Well, the prices are going down, or anything.

1890
02:09:28,970 --> 02:09:29,570
That's great.

1891
02:09:29,750 --> 02:09:33,130
I'm happy to amend and to...

1892
02:09:33,130 --> 02:09:35,050
So Lisa will amend the motion to...

1893
02:09:35,050 --> 02:09:35,750
Two hundred thousand.

1894
02:09:35,750 --> 02:09:36,750
Two hundred thousand.

1895
02:09:36,970 --> 02:09:39,250
That's so much...

1896
02:09:39,250 --> 02:09:39,950
...surplus.

1897
02:09:40,110 --> 02:09:41,890
To be put back into the capital fund.

1898
02:09:42,190 --> 02:09:43,930
To the capital for that fund, yes.

1899
02:09:43,930 --> 02:09:44,830
That's one proof of freedom.

1900
02:09:45,010 --> 02:09:45,330
Okay.

1901
02:09:47,190 --> 02:09:47,950
You've read the motion.

1902
02:09:48,490 --> 02:09:49,410
Any more discussion.

1903
02:09:51,050 --> 02:09:52,170
I think we've got a grab at one.

1904
02:09:52,570 --> 02:09:52,710
Yeah.

1905
02:09:54,270 --> 02:09:55,170
All those in favor.

1906
02:09:55,170 --> 02:09:59,850
Hi. Any opposed? So be it.

1907
02:10:01,400 --> 02:10:04,560
Good deal. All right. Let's get to write that big check.

1908
02:10:05,740 --> 02:10:10,220
All right. Anything else concerning finances at this time?

1909
02:10:12,420 --> 02:10:18,740
We've had discussions off and on over the last six months about when we want to start our budget discussion.

1910
02:10:22,660 --> 02:10:31,580
Our favorite topic, what is the, is the consensus of the board, is the one we'd like to start that

1911
02:10:31,580 --> 02:10:31,940
September.

1912
02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:35,240
We have an offer of September.

1913
02:10:36,640 --> 02:10:38,440
Is there anybody who would like it later than September?

1914
02:10:39,260 --> 02:10:39,540
No.

1915
02:10:40,560 --> 02:10:43,320
It's also on our pockets, our tax rates.

1916
02:10:43,640 --> 02:10:49,940
And I think based on that, you're going to have to be pretty conscientious about what this year's budget looks like.

1917
02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:57,940
So, so if September is going to be it, what are we going to ask the business manager to provide for us?

1918
02:10:59,880 --> 02:11:01,050
He needs to know, so he can...

1919
02:11:01,460 --> 02:11:04,820
Well, he'll adjust the timeline that he typically provides a board in October.

1920
02:11:05,840 --> 02:11:09,720
And then I think I'll just come in with the financials, particularly around the 4th or 4th or 38.

1921
02:11:10,980 --> 02:11:13,560
79722 surplus, about what to do, and then start looking from there.

1922
02:11:13,580 --> 02:11:16,080
And what that's going to look like, or just start that.

1923
02:11:16,080 --> 02:11:23,200
Look at your scenarios about what the board can do with that, and we want that on the agenda for next month.

1924
02:11:23,540 --> 02:11:28,380
And I think you also have to comment when he says what do you want the budget to look like as an increase?

1925
02:11:28,780 --> 02:11:36,340
Flat, negative, or whatever that there needs to be real conversation about that, because that's how you build it.

1926
02:11:36,680 --> 02:11:39,040
That's what makes it to build out.

1927
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:39,860
That's right.

1928
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:42,400
Okay.

1929
02:11:43,140 --> 02:11:44,260
There we go.

1930
02:11:44,460 --> 02:11:47,160
So we'll be there with Lewis and look forward to that next month.

1931
02:11:48,100 --> 02:11:49,340
We're up to public comments again.

1932
02:11:49,520 --> 02:11:53,200
Anybody would like to make a public comment in person?

1933
02:11:53,740 --> 02:11:54,980
Anybody online?

1934
02:11:57,000 --> 02:11:57,660
Seeing none?

1935
02:11:57,800 --> 02:11:59,420
Thank you for having us.

1936
02:12:00,780 --> 02:12:01,700
We're always open.

1937
02:12:02,020 --> 02:12:03,060
We're always welcome.

1938
02:12:03,980 --> 02:12:04,780
Always welcome.

1939
02:12:05,060 --> 02:12:06,600
Regardless of where you sit.

1940
02:12:07,620 --> 02:12:14,480
So our future meeting date will be September September 10th, 2026, any future agenda items

1941
02:12:14,480 --> 02:12:19,500
that need to be brought up, but they'd like to see on this time, let's be right now,

1942
02:12:19,780 --> 02:12:20,740
wherever hold your piece now.

1943
02:12:21,160 --> 02:12:26,920
You can either email me or Chris, and we'll see if we can get those on if necessary, so at

1944
02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:29,460
this point I would entertain a motion to adjourn.

1945
02:12:29,460 --> 02:12:37,880
When I says, are we making principals come to this September meeting since you just in school or

1946
02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:42,460
and so that principal reports, I mean, you're a little bit up to the board.

1947
02:12:44,240 --> 02:12:47,300
I mean, I think you go badly. Welcome up from the reports.

1948
02:12:50,460 --> 02:12:52,460
You're going to give us up to September.

1949
02:12:52,620 --> 02:12:58,780
Yeah, we usually we've had September's kind of a pass for them so they can get our business back together.

1950
02:12:58,780 --> 02:13:02,940
unless there's something it reaches that's transpired and you need to come and ask for

1951
02:13:02,940 --> 02:13:05,940
some that 200,000 from the capital improvement.

1952
02:13:10,280 --> 02:13:14,840
That we allow building up and a pass for this up to me.

1953
02:13:14,880 --> 02:13:15,640
Without objection?

1954
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:17,300
Okay.

1955
02:13:18,380 --> 02:13:18,580
Thank you.

1956
02:13:18,800 --> 02:13:19,800
All right, thank you.

1957
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:22,980
Now let our pay the motion to adjourn.

1958
02:13:23,420 --> 02:13:23,440
Thank you.

1959
02:13:23,980 --> 02:13:24,500
Thanks Lauren.

1960
02:13:25,560 --> 02:13:26,100
Always in favor?

1961
02:13:26,560 --> 02:13:26,940
Thank you.
