1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:07,900
Um, yeah, I got right off the mic.

2
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:16,720
That's so funny. I shouldn't look at all this.

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:26,500
Oh, my own thing. It's good time to be going in first, not to at all first. Oh my god. Go ahead and get home. Yeah.

4
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:36,160
Good evening everyone, welcome to our Roseway Area School Board meeting.

5
00:00:36,940 --> 00:00:49,120

00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,500

11
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:12,920
There are no agenda adjustments, but I do have a couple of announcements.

12
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:14,540
Oh, that would be great. Yes.

13
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:17,740
Yes. First, I'd like to introduce little Canada Elementary

17
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:32,490
Thank you, Dr. Lake.

18
00:01:32,690 --> 00:01:38,590
I want to share that this Thursday is a super exciting opportunity for us to gather with the Roseville

19
00:01:38,590 --> 00:01:41,670
Area School Foundation, Fall fundraiser event.

20
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:46,410

22
00:01:49,190 --> 00:01:56,870
There will be a short speaking portion around six o'clock, but it's a really great night to engage with the community and

23
00:01:56,870 --> 00:02:02,730
Support our schools. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. I hope that's the most fun. I'll be there

24
00:02:04,670 --> 00:02:09,490
And by Cedar home, we mean the Cedar home golf course

25
00:02:10,650 --> 00:02:14,530
I'm glad just north of 36

26
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:30,110
Yes, thank you on the record now. We know exactly in the day show up at risk. No excuse us. Right on time. How is it? Yeah, thank you

27
00:02:31,070 --> 00:02:34,630
Do we have any summary of community input?

28
00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:40,950
We do not okay. All right great. So we have a consent agenda

29
00:02:42,210 --> 00:02:45,490
Minus gifts and I don't think we have any retirement today

30
00:02:45,490 --> 00:02:51,650
So, with the consent agenda, I entertain a motion to accept that.

31
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:53,530
I move this evening's consent agenda.

32
00:02:54,310 --> 00:02:54,570
Okay.

33
00:02:54,970 --> 00:02:55,430

Like you can.

67
00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:35,450
People are reading those.

68
00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:44,230
It's just done on me, like in a academic year, if we were to collect all this together,

69
00:05:44,470 --> 00:05:45,690
how much did that be?

70
00:05:46,410 --> 00:05:47,210
Hundreds of pages.

71
00:05:47,770 --> 00:05:48,330
Yes.

72
00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:49,410
Hundreds of pages.

73
00:05:49,890 --> 00:05:50,750
And tens of thousands.

74
00:05:50,770 --> 00:05:51,730
And tens of thousands, right?

75
00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:53,790
I think that is something to really think about.

76
00:05:54,110 --> 00:06:01,510
Think about every time we read this, like all this money that has been given to us or donations

77
00:06:01,510 --> 00:06:02,330
and all that.

78
00:06:02,330 --> 00:06:04,750
So very appreciative of our community.

79
00:06:05,390 --> 00:06:05,810
Thank you.

00:06:07,650 --> 00:06:13,190
So, we have some reports and non-action items.

81
00:06:13,750 --> 00:06:14,730
The first one up.

82
00:06:15,370 --> 00:06:17,270
Some program presentation.

83
00:06:19,110 --> 00:06:20,170
Please join us.

84
00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:22,290
Oh, please come and join us.

85
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:22,890
We

86
00:06:32,010 --> 00:06:32,950
have enough might.

87
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:37,410
We can definitely share.

88
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:38,430
Yeah, we can share.

89
00:06:38,430 --> 00:06:40,210
Yeah, yeah, always

90
00:06:45,010 --> 00:06:45,570
on the run

91
00:06:49,550 --> 00:06:53,630
Now this is this is one of our I don't know it's one of those reports

92
00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:58,710
I love to hear I think we all do kind of thinking about what happened summer

93
00:06:59,810 --> 00:07:04,450
Our reminder to the board typically we would cover the summer programs in the first school for meeting

94
00:07:04,450 --> 00:07:09,650
And then the first year of school for it, but it was a really unique year because the first day at school

95
00:07:09,650 --> 00:07:12,890
It's a first floor meeting and so just pretend we're weeks apart.

96
00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:16,350
The summer program review followed by the first day of school.

97
00:07:16,450 --> 00:07:17,190
There you go.

98
00:07:19,170 --> 00:07:21,210
We have a great group in front of us.

99
00:07:21,270 --> 00:07:21,490
Yes.

100
00:07:22,830 --> 00:07:23,870
Do we hear that?

101
00:07:24,010 --> 00:07:24,030
No.

102
00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:26,750
It's over now.

103
00:07:26,970 --> 00:07:27,750
It might have been mine.

104
00:07:28,890 --> 00:07:29,050
Okay.

105
00:07:29,550 --> 00:07:30,910
Well, good evening.

106
00:07:31,090 --> 00:07:31,610
Good evening.

107
00:07:31,950 --> 00:07:34,250
Sunny Ernest and Executive Director of Community Education.

108
00:07:34,450 --> 00:07:36,470
We're here to talk about their summer programs.

109
00:07:36,910 --> 00:07:38,570
We're going to give an overview of summer programs.

110
00:07:38,570 --> 00:07:43,690
Then we have a twist this year to kind of show you some of the behind the scenes work that goes into summer programming

111
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:48,530
But we'll start with this team introducing themselves. Will you use some Mike please? I will thank you

112
00:07:52,960 --> 00:08:00,100
We'll be saying anything here on home.

113
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,240
Oh

114
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:09,020
Say your name louder for the record

115
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:18,080
Yes, yes, Laura Freer, Principal Foss, Niceida Thomas, Director of Special Ed.

116
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,900
There you go, thank you, and save you a voice, yes.

117
00:08:21,980 --> 00:08:24,180
Eric Thornton, Summer Academy Administrator.

118
00:08:25,060 --> 00:08:28,680
Eric Anderson, I'm with Targeted Services, Supervisor for Target Services,

119
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,980
and we call our Summer Program Summer Discovery.

120
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Tammy Reese, Early Childhood Program Supervisor.

121
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:40,040
Ted Hagen, Supervisor for Adult Basic Education.

122
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,700
Taylor Anderson is the Director of Student Services and the extended school year administrator.

123
00:08:47,420 --> 00:08:50,700
Megan Barrett, Marketing Manager for Community Education.

124
00:08:51,140 --> 00:08:52,080
Thank you.

125
00:08:52,380 --> 00:08:52,980
Thank you.

126
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:53,820
Thank you.

127
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,520
And we are going to jump into the video.

128
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:56,260
Oh.

129
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:56,980
The

130
00:13:14,330 --> 00:13:15,190
video says it all.

131
00:13:15,370 --> 00:13:21,570
We really had one fabulous summer, so much joy, so much learning, and like you saw, so much

132
00:13:21,570 --> 00:13:25,090
teamwork and team effort that goes into that.

133
00:13:25,090 --> 00:13:29,030
Next, we'd like to direct your attention to the handouts in front of you.

134
00:13:29,570 --> 00:13:34,950
You'll see the handout on the left list, each program that we'll be talking about in

135
00:13:34,950 --> 00:13:36,530
the order we'll be talking about them.

136
00:13:36,970 --> 00:13:42,450
The handout on the right has some more context around some of the behind the scenes work or

137
00:13:42,450 --> 00:13:47,570
work that's often behind the scenes that's really important to make our summer happen.

138
00:13:47,950 --> 00:13:50,090
So we'll start with adult basic education.

139
00:13:51,390 --> 00:13:58,270
Good evening, this summer 262 adult learners were served in ABE right here at

140
00:13:58,270 --> 00:14:02,770
a Betutecia. Meanwhile across the district nine other buildings hosted summer

141
00:14:02,770 --> 00:14:07,910
programming in gyms, common areas and classrooms. Every summer of ballet takes

142
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:12,670
place as programming moves from space to space allowing time for our building and

143
00:14:12,670 --> 00:14:16,970
grounds to clean and prep the building for the fall. We on the summer planning team

144
00:14:16,970 --> 00:14:19,710
to value the partnership and appreciate the collaboration,

145
00:14:20,030 --> 00:14:22,990
communication, and flexibility that goes into making this happen.

146
00:14:24,270 --> 00:14:26,130
I especially want to give a shout out to John Cook,

147
00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:28,450
the building engineer here at Abetta Tetsha

148
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:31,090
and Jake Bondily, director of teaching and learning.

149
00:14:31,410 --> 00:14:33,810
This summer they were huge in helping us reshape

150
00:14:33,810 --> 00:14:37,710
our book room downstairs, making it more efficient for OEE

151
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:39,770
as well as making a space that benefits

152
00:14:39,770 --> 00:14:41,810
our apprentice and manufacturing ready group.

153
00:14:42,350 --> 00:14:44,810
More than doubling the size they have to work with.

154
00:14:44,810 --> 00:14:48,010
so I'm very thankful for them and for our partnership.

155
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:52,620
Good evening everyone.

156
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,180
I'd like to recognize the Transportation Department

157
00:14:57,180 --> 00:14:58,960
for their partnership this summer.

158
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
Several of those 160 cabs, yellow buses and cabs were used specifically by our students to help accomplish their credit recovery goals this summer. Summer Academy is a beast from a scheduling standpoint. For example, you know, we have four weeks of programming. Each of those weeks are dedicated to a different content area. So week one can be for recovering science credits week two recovering like which arts credits week three.

159
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:37,940
social studies we form at and so with 237 students you could have imagined the

160
00:15:37,940 --> 00:15:43,120
different schedules and how daunting of a task that can be to set up

161
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:49,720
transportation to and from for example you know one student may need programming

162
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:55,000
weeks one and four another student may need programming weeks two and three some

163
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:02,500
all for, some maybe one. So it's it's quite a task and we are very thankful for that partnership

164
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:07,720
and collaboration from that department. So big thanks to them for the role that they played

165
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:14,280
and be able to remove transportation as a barrier for Roseville students. Thanks to their effort,

166
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:20,380
we were able to accomplish 327 recovered credits this summer. So really exciting work.

167
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:21,900
Well done.

168
00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:28,300
And I get to shout out to the tech department for their preparation of our iPads.

169
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,820
We had 208 iPads prepped.

170
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,200
This allowed students to have that digital learning resources and instructional

171
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,520
activities that they normally have during this during the school year.

172
00:16:39,980 --> 00:16:44,000
A big shout out to Sam Kim, who is located in this building.

173
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,280
He came and visited us in summer academy every Monday to make sure that all students

174
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,780
and teachers had everything they needed for technology.

175
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,940
The other thing that I would like to thank, and that's Wayne, for making sure all of

176
00:16:58,940 --> 00:17:01,340
our key fobs were ready for each building.

177
00:17:01,940 --> 00:17:06,040
Some teachers teach at RISE, but they came over and taught in a Beto THS.

178
00:17:06,260 --> 00:17:09,020
So we needed to make sure that all of those fobs were accurate.

179
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,860
So they re-did or created 257 key fobs.

180
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,260
And this doesn't seem like a big deal to staff, but without that, staff can't

181
00:17:19,260 --> 00:17:25,020
go to and from in different spaces to make sure that students are safe where

182
00:17:25,020 --> 00:17:25,600
they're learning.

183
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,500
We're gonna move down to youth enrichment. So youth enrichment

184
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:36,640
provided 11 weeks of programming. We served 141,435 students and we

185
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:42,520
offered 242, did I skip you guys? No, I just forgot to say our big thing about

186
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,400
graduates. You know what? Can I interrupt you please? We had 20 graduates in

187
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,700
summer and that's the most we've ever had during summer.

188
00:17:52,940 --> 00:17:54,540
We'll look back at that number.

189
00:17:54,980 --> 00:17:58,900
We're going to 242 camps and field trips that were offered through youth enrichment.

190
00:18:00,180 --> 00:18:04,320
So the planning for youth enrichment starts really early. It starts six months prior.

191
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,660
And we really go to our best customers first, first, which are our students.

192
00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:10,180
We ask them what do you want to happen, what do you want to see.

193
00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:15,620
And then we ask, sorry, that we ask our parents and our staff and we look at trends

194
00:18:15,620 --> 00:18:17,400
and we just continue to move from there.

195
00:18:17,660 --> 00:18:18,740
So once we have all of our ideas,

196
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,020
we map what are somewhere by assigning camps

197
00:18:21,020 --> 00:18:23,080
to specific weeks and specific ages.

198
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,880
We tuck in field trips to that really just to build out

199
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,620
a well-rounded experience for students.

200
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:31,460
And some of the program highlights this year

201
00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:35,320
included Catatastic Camp, Pickleball Camp,

202
00:18:35,660 --> 00:18:36,920
and 3D printing camp.

203
00:18:37,180 --> 00:18:39,580
Just a couple of highlights that were very popular.

204
00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:43,320
Next, we move to Friendship Connection,

205
00:18:43,420 --> 00:18:44,860
which is our school age care program

206
00:18:44,860 --> 00:18:51,720
that's open from 6.30 to 6.00 Monday through Friday we serve 547 students for a

207
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:57,660
total of 552 hours. We provided 70 field trips across Minnesota which is

208
00:18:57,660 --> 00:18:59,060
also just a big number as well.

209
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:04,400
So in the video you saw that those little kids

210
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,580
holding the goats. That was one of the field trips and for our pre-K

211
00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:11,680
students entering kindergarten that was one of their first field trips that

212
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,840
ever experience. First time running a bus, first time pen and a goat, first time milking

213
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:23,140
a goat, attending, seeing a farm even. So just what a fun experience and joy that we

214
00:19:23,140 --> 00:19:30,000
get to show our students. Over the summer, 1,001 her in two time cards were signed across

215
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,940
our programs. Behind every summer program is a team of staff working hard to create amazing

216
00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:39,920
experiences for kids like the goat farm. And behind every staff member's time card making

217
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,300
making sure their hard work is recorded and paid.

218
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,280
What happens is that these time cards get filled out, they get passed on to a site supervisor

219
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,760
who reviews it, it then goes to administrative assistant who then gives it to another supervisor

220
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,800
who signs it, it heads over to payroll and gets paid.

221
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,260
So every single time card made a journey this summer with multiple people checking it and

222
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:03,200
reviewing it along the way.

223
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,620
That's just another example of the behind-the-scenes teamwork that may serve such summer successful.

224
00:20:08,620 --> 00:20:12,800
So, so many time cards, which is awesome.

225
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:13,520
Yes.

226
00:20:14,340 --> 00:20:17,240
All right, so extended school year is also known as ESY,

227
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,180
and that is for students who are eligible through their IEP.

228
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,640
This summer, we served 257 students in ESY,

229
00:20:24,820 --> 00:20:28,140
ranging from ECSE all the way through grade 12.

230
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:30,680
A key strength of our summer program

231
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,560
and continues to be staff retention,

232
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:36,040
80 staff members returned from the previous summer,

233
00:20:36,580 --> 00:20:39,100
really providing that valuable consistency

234
00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:41,180
for our students and our teams.

235
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,160
Returning staff know our students,

236
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:45,140
they understand our rituals and routines

237
00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:46,720
and they really bring that experience

238
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,640
that helps create a smooth and supportive

239
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,160
learning environment for our students.

240
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,840
We also continue to our partnership

241
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,860
with Summer Discovery to provide an inclusive summer

242
00:20:55,860 --> 00:20:58,980
learning opportunity with embedded ESY services.

243
00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:00,820
So beginning in the winter,

244
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,360
Erica and I presented at eight elementary schools

245
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:07,420
and then Roseville area middle school.

246
00:21:07,420 --> 00:21:10,740
and we're now like the summer anderson's.

247
00:21:10,740 --> 00:21:12,220
Yes, absolutely.

248
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,620
So that's really actually quite fun.

249
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,000
And so yeah, we have like our little traveling skit

250
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,660
that we do, but we do have three pathways.

251
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,340
So we have the traditional ESY, we have the summer discovery

252
00:21:25,340 --> 00:21:27,820
and then we have the blended model of ESY

253
00:21:27,820 --> 00:21:30,260
and summer discovery and with having this,

254
00:21:30,620 --> 00:21:35,900
so this is our second summer working together on this

255
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:39,020
and we are just super excited with the opportunities

256
00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:40,300
that it provides our students.

257
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:44,220
So really have that inclusive and connected summer opportunities

258
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:46,820
for students served in their least restrictive environment.

259
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,620
So with that being said, moving into our, we've built

260
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:54,460
like a really strong pipeline of paraprofessionals

261
00:21:54,460 --> 00:21:55,340
through ESY.

262
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,360
We have four returning ESY paraprofessionals

263
00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:01,140
that are college students and they keep recruiting more,

264
00:22:01,340 --> 00:22:02,400
which is fantastic.

265
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:09,200
And so with them being in college, they are meeting the requirement of at least having

266
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,880
60 semester credits so that they don't have to take the Para Educator Test, but then

267
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:20,940
we had four recent high school graduates join us and they did pass the Para Educator Test.

268
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:22,300
So that's super exciting.

269
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,780
And then going back to that pipeline, we welcomed some of those Para professionals that started

270
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:28,880
with us in the summer.

271
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,340
they are now working for us this school year.

272
00:22:32,180 --> 00:22:33,620
Yeah, that's awesome.

273
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:35,040
Definitely awesome.

274
00:22:35,740 --> 00:22:38,840
And then another awesome thing that happened this summer

275
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,060
was that our health services team disseminated 97 individual

276
00:22:44,060 --> 00:22:46,560
health plans, also known as IHPs,

277
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,780
to help ensure that our students' health and safety

278
00:22:49,780 --> 00:22:52,220
across all summer programs were there.

279
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,000
And that's for all students, right?

280
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,960
So our nurses and health assistants partner closely

281
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,360
with families to understand each student's individual health needs and then in the schools

282
00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:06,200
they develop those plans that provide the appropriate supports for successful partnership

283
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,960
in summer programming and during the school year as well.

284
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,600
But this collaboration really helped ensure that our students could safely access, participate

285
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,800
in and enjoy their summer learning experience and through all of this it's really just about

286
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,260
like partnership and communication.

287
00:23:21,260 --> 00:23:22,280
The

288
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:31,220
summer, Early Cal State Family Education, ECFE program is just really fun.

289
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,480
It has a really great vibe and rhythm to it.

290
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,260
It's just a little different than the school year.

291
00:23:38,380 --> 00:23:45,640
We have a six week program and we serve 620 students and family members through our programs.

292
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,600
A few unique things that we get to do is that we get a chance to be in the community

293
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:58,100
With the weather being a little bit nicer, we do a park and play program twice a week where

294
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:03,360
families can come. It's free. There's no registration. We wrap roofs, rustle, and acorn parks

295
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:09,840
this past summer. We also do our field trip Fridays. We've been doing that for a few years.

296
00:24:10,740 --> 00:24:16,100
So it's just a great opportunity to visit some destinations. A really so fire station

297
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:22,000
you saw in the video, Splashpad, Como Zoo, and what we hear from families is they love

298
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,180
the opportunity to connect with other families and go to some destinations.

299
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,800
A lot of families sign up for the whole series, so that it's just really neat to see that.

300
00:24:34,860 --> 00:24:39,360
We also have drop-in in play, and we had 296 people attend.

301
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:41,280
We offered it two mornings.

302
00:24:41,300 --> 00:24:44,320
We collaborate with Prince of Peace Church.

303
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:50,940
It's just great to have a free air condition in their space during the summer.

304
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:57,740
And even things like this past summer were some air quality things that was really popular.

305
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,020
So it's nice to have that little bit different program as well.

306
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,680
Really exciting is we had 28 new families come in the summer.

307
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,700
what we're finding is that there are families that can attend in the summer that

308
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:20,120
aren't able to come during the school year. Which is a really interesting to

309
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:24,560
think about and it just makes sense different schedules and things but just

310
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:31,200
speaks to the importance of offering summer programs. We also have some classes

311
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:37,400
that are first to age eight. We had a family class and our park and play knowing

312
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,160
that some of the older siblings are home in the summer.

313
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:46,460
I just had great opportunity to speak with an eight-year-old who came to Parkview for

314
00:25:46,460 --> 00:25:52,960
the family class and he was so excited to tell me that he went to ECFE when he was much

315
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,720
younger and he remembered the space, he remembered the classroom, he remembered some of the things

316
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:04,580
that he did and was just really excited to talk to his younger sibling about it.

317
00:26:04,580 --> 00:26:10,060
And so I think those are the kinds of things that just make it so special, some of these

318
00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:10,440
programs.

319
00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:18,060
And then that we expand the age so that families can attend if they have older children

320
00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:18,440
as well.

321
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,720
So, what makes this all happen?

322
00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:30,460
You saw a lot of behind the scenes things, and there's also direct service staff, and that

323
00:26:30,460 --> 00:26:30,800
happens.

324
00:26:31,020 --> 00:26:33,940
There are 336 total summer staff.

325
00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:37,560
78% are returning summer staff.

326
00:26:38,540 --> 00:26:40,700
So that's an important piece as well,

327
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000
to make this all happen.

328
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:44,620
We are so fortunate with ECFE

329
00:26:44,620 --> 00:26:46,560
as all of our school year staff

330
00:26:47,070 --> 00:26:49,760
taught in the summer, or working in the summer.

331
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,980
Their part time schedules and it works really well

332
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:55,780
for all of our staff.

333
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,300
So important to continue the connections

334
00:26:58,650 --> 00:26:59,940
that they have with families,

335
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,240
but also connecting with new families

336
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,620
who maybe will also, you know, keep attending the programs.

337
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,640
I actually asked the teachers, like, why do you teach in the summer?

338
00:27:14,620 --> 00:27:17,980
All of them said we loved being out in the community,

339
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,480
outside of our school, at the parks, at the field trips.

340
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:28,120
They really love the new opportunities that they can offer, like,

341
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:30,820
with some short-term classes. There's a lot of creativity.

342
00:27:30,820 --> 00:27:34,800
activity we might do a three-week class, a six-week class, so that they really loved.

343
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:43,160
And the biggest thing I think that they shared was that parenting support and family support

344
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:49,880
is our year long. It's not just during a school year. And so that we are able to offer

345
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:56,060
this, just, is so important for our families. And that is why they were willing to work.

346
00:27:56,060 --> 00:28:01,420
I thought that was really cool that they had shared that but it's important so we do it.

347
00:28:02,420 --> 00:28:05,600
So our summer ECFU program in our district is really unique.

348
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,620
There aren't a lot of districts that offer ECFU in the summer.

349
00:28:10,380 --> 00:28:13,440
Our families appreciate it so much.

350
00:28:13,820 --> 00:28:21,140
They give us that feedback and we're just so happy to be able to provide this for our youngest

351
00:28:21,140 --> 00:28:23,020
learners and their families in the summer.

352
00:28:23,020 --> 00:28:31,040
All right, well finally summer discovery that's our academic summer program for K-8 students.

353
00:28:31,860 --> 00:28:36,740
We had another robust program again this year with 728 students.

354
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:42,180
Across our three sites the summer were Central Park, Parkview, and the middle school.

355
00:28:43,140 --> 00:28:48,080
And you know Taylor kind of touched on this as to Tammy for summer discovery something I think

356
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,000
that's really important and really neat is that we had 95% of our staff was Roosevelt

357
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,820
area schools teachers. The other five percent were returning summer

358
00:28:58,820 --> 00:29:03,520
discovery teachers. I hired one new individual this year for summer

359
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,480
discovery and so I just think that speaks to these are our students know these

360
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:16,560
teachers our teachers know the schools they just how invaluable that is to have

361
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,020
that many returning staff.

362
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:24,160
I also want to recognize our office staff.

363
00:29:24,420 --> 00:29:27,340
We had 14 office staff individuals working

364
00:29:27,340 --> 00:29:29,120
over across all of our programs.

365
00:29:29,820 --> 00:29:31,140
I'd personally like to highlight

366
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:32,560
to my administrative assistant,

367
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,860
her name is Kim Arsonult.

368
00:29:34,060 --> 00:29:36,420
She is an invaluable member to my team.

369
00:29:37,260 --> 00:29:39,280
We also began our programming.

370
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,740
Really we start talking summer and December.

371
00:29:42,700 --> 00:29:45,320
And Kim keeps me organized.

372
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,080
is she is very thoughtful about, you know,

373
00:29:48,140 --> 00:29:50,120
we're registering students for three sites

374
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,480
across all the elementary schools in the middle school.

375
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,040
And so it's no easy task to bring in all those registrations

376
00:29:58,140 --> 00:29:59,720
and think through.

377
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,940
How many staff we're going to have? And it's just this huge process and she keeps organized the whole way through. And then when summer discovery begins, the way that our office staff, they're releasing weightless spots, we're getting as many students and as we possibly can, connecting with, you know, you always have changes in transportation and all those things. And so they're just invaluable to the day-to-day workings and planning and preparation. You also suck him in the video on our

378
00:30:29,940 --> 00:30:35,740
random Wednesday. I was loading my car. I was going to bring some things over to

379
00:30:35,740 --> 00:30:40,660
a summer site and Kim was on her way out and stopped and loaded up my car. That

380
00:30:40,660 --> 00:30:45,920
is just 100% what happened almost every day of summer where we just random

381
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:51,680
things where she just is very helpful and again I use that word invaluable over

382
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,480
and over again because she really truly is. Another thing that I like to highlight

383
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,100
is our partnership with Nutrition Services and you know they served like this

384
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:07,740
think this numbers incredible they served 37,590 meals over the summer across

385
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:13,760
all of our programs but they also just were incredibly flexible and one

386
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,900
example I have of that is our six grade students at the middle school were

387
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:23,580
went on a field trip every Thursday and sometimes those field trips were eating

388
00:31:23,580 --> 00:31:27,840
off site. Sometimes those field trips were eating on site. One time we actually had

389
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,740
like barbecue so there wasn't a lot of food that was being eaten that day. And just

390
00:31:31,740 --> 00:31:37,060
they're so flexible about what do you need today. And they packed big lunches for us for

391
00:31:37,060 --> 00:31:43,060
all five days. And that's no easy task when you're you know you're going away from what you already

392
00:31:43,060 --> 00:31:48,400
have planned and now you're helping us by doing. And it was done with such absolutely what do you

393
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:55,000
need. How can we help? Let's make it easy. Let's just do big lunges. And so just that partnership is

394
00:31:55,980 --> 00:32:01,920
again just working so closely with them. And all of the examples we've shared here at this

395
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:07,320
table are just very small examples of those strong partnerships across the district that make this

396
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:14,940
possible for our students. As you can see a lot of planning and people go into serving our students

397
00:32:14,940 --> 00:32:19,860
in our community. And I think that video that we started with really summed it up best behind every

398
00:32:19,860 --> 00:32:27,820
incredible summer is an incredible team all working towards the same goal. What questions might

399
00:32:27,820 --> 00:32:35,160
you have for us? Wow. Thank you. Thank you so much. This was amazing. Yeah, go ahead.

400
00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:40,720
I've got a question somewhere to the comment. Again, just overwhelming the impressive.

401
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,660
It reminds me, you know, I'm going to date myself because the old Alice Cooper song

402
00:32:45,660 --> 00:32:46,740
schools out for summer.

403
00:32:47,580 --> 00:32:48,460
Guess what, Alice?

404
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,480
It's a knot.

405
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,500
And a lot of people still have that pre-kissed notion of what happens in the summer.

406
00:32:54,960 --> 00:33:00,600
And, you know, looking at this from even a little different direction, but it occurs to me,

407
00:33:00,660 --> 00:33:03,360
you know, ABE, because in a school, you're a summer cat of all these things.

408
00:33:03,500 --> 00:33:04,700
These aren't just fun things.

409
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:13,900
and good things to these literally enable all of these people, whatever their age, to continue

410
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:18,500
progress on their educational journey, which means continue progress on their life's

411
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:18,660
journey.

412
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:24,560
To them, this is foundational existential stuff that you guys have provided and are providing.

413
00:33:24,980 --> 00:33:26,360
So thank you.

414
00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:32,960
I mean, this helps make Roseville, I think, what it is, it is, it's life enabling, life changing,

415
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,940
life continuing for all those students but we're kids of the adults who are

416
00:33:35,940 --> 00:33:37,720
going to be so thank you very much very impressive.

417
00:33:40,540 --> 00:33:41,600
Yeah thank you for

418
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,120
shining a light on just every single part and it's obviously you're a very

419
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:51,860
cohesive team and this is so impressive. I did have one question and I apologize

420
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:58,960
it's not under your umbrella. Eric I think it might be under your umbrella I just

421
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:04,680
know that I was at a Rams PTA meeting in the spring and they talked about

422
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,800
about some grant that they had gotten that was specifically targeted towards students

423
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,700
who had been impacted by ice.

424
00:34:11,260 --> 00:34:11,460
Yes.

425
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:21,420
It was a Roseville community foundation grant and it was in partnership with Lily Florey's

426
00:34:21,420 --> 00:34:22,520
Hanson to see that right.

427
00:34:24,340 --> 00:34:34,640
And what it was is we partnered with her to bring multiple facets of programming in the

428
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,860
One of the things, there was multiple things that happened,

429
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,220
one of the things just kind of in general

430
00:34:39,220 --> 00:34:40,320
that we did at Rams.

431
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,400
Rams students don't like to come to summer school,

432
00:34:43,620 --> 00:34:45,020
that's not a thing they like to do.

433
00:34:45,260 --> 00:34:49,060
And so we try to dress it up and we created

434
00:34:50,060 --> 00:34:53,140
more like high interest camps that they went to

435
00:34:53,140 --> 00:34:54,620
and then we had field trips on Friday.

436
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,540
And so those were just some ways that we were able

437
00:34:57,540 --> 00:34:59,820
to partner, we also had an MLO cohort

438
00:34:59,820 --> 00:35:08,380
and Loulee could speak more to this, but the MLO cohort and then we had, oh, a DLSI cohort as well.

439
00:35:08,860 --> 00:35:09,840
Okay, thank you.

440
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:10,180
Yeah.

441
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:20,520
Yeah, just again, just a special, you know, special wonderful presentation that more members of the community should see.

442
00:35:20,780 --> 00:35:26,040
It's like you're rooting to, I think there are a lot of members of the community who still just, well, school districts shut down.

443
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:35,980
Just, you know, everyone, nothing going on here, but when you speak about ten buildings holding summer programming, the number of nails prepared, just amazing.

444
00:35:36,220 --> 00:35:42,500
I mean, just look what's on over the summer. And a special shout out to a program near and dear to my heart, Friendship Connection.

445
00:35:43,020 --> 00:35:51,120
Because my kids were both part of Friendship Connection growing up at Brimhall. And I'm also proud to say that my son is now a staffer.

446
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,840
And we're all elementary part of French Academy.

447
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:58,140
I saw him in at the job, working, doing his thing.

448
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,100
Yeah, I also, I drove by every day to make sure he was there.

449
00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:07,040
I spoke on behalf of Molly Flynn, who is a beauty

450
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,280
head supervisor as well.

451
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:09,760
She's just wasn't able to be here.

452
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,840
So she's the one that actually is in charge of French

453
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:12,880
of connection in your enrichment.

454
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:14,660
So I should have started with that.

455
00:36:14,980 --> 00:36:17,140
I want to make sure she gets credit for that as well.

456
00:36:19,020 --> 00:36:20,260
Thank you so much.

457
00:36:20,260 --> 00:36:21,080
She's just amazing.

458
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,180
Any other questions?

459
00:36:22,820 --> 00:36:23,920
Yeah, one more question.

460
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,380
I mean, it's such a robust group of programming

461
00:36:27,380 --> 00:36:28,520
that you all offer.

462
00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:31,880
Can you talk a little bit more about like the advertising

463
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,160
or how you get people to understand the difference

464
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,780
between one or the other?

465
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:39,640
What makes it a appropriate fit for somebody?

466
00:36:40,260 --> 00:36:42,640
Just want to make sure we can talk about the differences

467
00:36:43,020 --> 00:36:45,880
a little bit and how you target that marketing.

468
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,180
Yeah, probably everyone should almost talk about that

469
00:36:49,180 --> 00:36:53,900
their own program. I'll start with Christophe Connection Youth Enrichment. Those are both fee-based programs,

470
00:36:54,220 --> 00:36:59,400
anybody can sign up for them. One is more like child care, right? An all-long day experience with

471
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,260
skills and camps being offered. Youth Enrichment is a Monday through Friday, maybe a one-day opportunity,

472
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:09,960
so much more short-term in regards to signing up for skills and opportunity. And then I'm going to pass

473
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:16,340
it to the other programs just to have them talk. So credit recovery is exactly what it says the

474
00:37:16,340 --> 00:37:20,600
student must fail a class and they have to recover that credit and we give them

475
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:26,220
opportunities to do that in a different way. Students come in and they take a

476
00:37:26,220 --> 00:37:29,500
pre-assessment and they show us what they know. Instead of making them sit

477
00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:34,660
through a class for five weeks they have a one-week class and they show us what

478
00:37:34,660 --> 00:37:38,480
they can accomplish and then at the end of the week they have the ability to

479
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:44,760
earn a credit. For summer discovery Taylor talked about how one of them big

480
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:52,220
things we do is we go into the staff meetings in January. And we do the Anderson show and

481
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,880
inform the teachers about the registration process. And so we share a registration document.

482
00:37:58,780 --> 00:38:04,420
And there is eligibility criteria for targeted services. We've broadened that list. It could

483
00:38:04,420 --> 00:38:08,440
be academic needs. It could be social, emotional needs. It's kind of a variety of different things.

484
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,700
and then those students are, we give them emails,

485
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:16,420
we send out a text invite, we have the teachers,

486
00:38:16,420 --> 00:38:19,320
we partner very closely with teachers and staff,

487
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:20,820
so that's one way we market.

488
00:38:22,380 --> 00:38:28,800
For early childhood, we do have a group of families

489
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,920
that we know their age, like our early childhood census,

490
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,380
so we can do some direct mailings and outreach that way

491
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:43,860
with Megan's work. We do a lot of social media things. It's open to everyone in the community,

492
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,920
but you know we ask, recently we've been asking how do you find out about it, and really

493
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:56,340
most often is word about it. So the program speaks for itself, and then others speak for it.

494
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:04,940
After graduation in June, we take a week off and then we just roll over enrollment from our

495
00:39:04,940 --> 00:39:10,160
of school year. We have rolling registration throughout the entire summer. We take August

496
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,420
off and then we pick right back up when the school year starts. So a lot of our students

497
00:39:13,420 --> 00:39:19,140
were to mouth. It's returning. Our summers are different because a lot of the students

498
00:39:19,140 --> 00:39:23,380
are at home with their own children. So we've really tried to take a more online lean during

499
00:39:23,380 --> 00:39:29,220
those times. So July we're all online so students can be at home with students, their kids while

500
00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:33,540
also still attending and then, yeah, we just need rolling.

501
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:41,520
For extended school year services, you have to be eligible through the IUP process.

502
00:39:41,820 --> 00:39:46,880
So it's really based in meeting like the different criteria areas rooted in data.

503
00:39:50,150 --> 00:39:52,050
Yeah, great question, yeah, thank you.

504
00:39:54,270 --> 00:40:07,970
I was intrigued by the paraprofessionals who are they going to become teachers, are they on the pathway to become teachers?

505
00:40:08,330 --> 00:40:10,430
That's the whole, that's the whole, right?

506
00:40:11,070 --> 00:40:18,250
We have a lot of paras that we are growing, like growing our own, which is fantastic.

507
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:18,970
Yes, that's great.

508
00:40:19,110 --> 00:40:19,830
Yes, it's wonderful.

509
00:40:20,270 --> 00:40:20,670
It's so great.

510
00:40:21,590 --> 00:40:28,470
And then my other thing that was very, the early childhood, right, that you are saying

511
00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:37,730
how there are 28 new families who are there for the summer programming, but not during regular

512
00:40:38,490 --> 00:40:39,090
year.

513
00:40:40,070 --> 00:40:46,150
Is it something, well about the summer, is there any sense of thinking about what they

514
00:40:46,150 --> 00:40:47,310
could do?

515
00:40:47,310 --> 00:40:53,330
differences. I think it's different schedules and maybe different work schedules is what families

516
00:40:53,330 --> 00:40:59,850
were saying that allows them to come in the summer. We'll also track and see though that if

517
00:40:59,850 --> 00:41:07,610
they continue and sign up during this school year. Yeah. So you did ask them as to why they show up

518
00:41:07,610 --> 00:41:12,970
in Roswell? Some more teachers that have summer hours, things like that. Yeah. So just different

519
00:41:12,970 --> 00:41:16,550
and schedules with their children being home.

520
00:41:17,550 --> 00:41:20,090
Yeah, I think when you say that it's unique

521
00:41:20,090 --> 00:41:22,950
that we wouldn't have this programming.

522
00:41:23,330 --> 00:41:24,030
Yeah, in the summer.

523
00:41:24,250 --> 00:41:24,770
Yeah, in the summer.

524
00:41:25,370 --> 00:41:27,230
Yeah, so yeah, thank you.

525
00:41:27,390 --> 00:41:31,490
This is, I really love the idea of showcasing

526
00:41:31,970 --> 00:41:33,670
kind of who's behind the scene.

527
00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:35,270
I mean, you think about it, right?

528
00:41:35,810 --> 00:41:38,110
This applied to the whole district, right?

529
00:41:38,250 --> 00:41:40,710
Anytime you do something big like that,

530
00:41:40,710 --> 00:41:45,630
well there's a lot of people involved so really I just love that so like to

531
00:41:45,630 --> 00:41:53,790
touch point is it gonna be put on the website somewhere or we we had discussed

532
00:41:53,790 --> 00:41:57,710
making sure that the individuals get the we have not put it on the website we

533
00:41:57,710 --> 00:42:01,190
wanted to actually share the video with those that we highlighted we thought

534
00:42:01,190 --> 00:42:04,250
that that was the most appropriate and then just sharing some of the the

535
00:42:04,250 --> 00:42:11,070
documents uh with others as well okay that was our friend gratitude yeah thank you thank you

536
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:18,630
my next this one makes you do you have any okay great thank you so much thank you just so appreciate

537
00:42:18,630 --> 00:42:20,370
y'all yeah yeah

538
00:42:32,910 --> 00:42:41,250
and this Cindy listens to the Thomas and company do you learn in more of a long commute

539
00:42:41,250 --> 00:42:42,690
around the corner.

540
00:42:45,330 --> 00:42:52,450
Okay, now the next thing. Yeah. This is so great to like then look

541
00:42:52,450 --> 00:42:56,890
at the first day, what happened in the first day. It's lovely. Thank you for that.

542
00:42:56,890 --> 00:43:03,310
Yeah, now a blank. We had a month. Yeah. The team of people worked super, super hard to prep

543
00:43:03,310 --> 00:43:09,410
to the first day of the month. Yeah, the same gratitude. Yeah, definitely, definitely. Thank you.

544
00:43:09,410 --> 00:43:19,150
Yes, but truly. Good evening board members and Dr. Lake. We are very excited to be here this evening to share a little bit about the first day of school.

545
00:43:19,650 --> 00:43:22,770
My name is Maura Wyant. I am a proud associate superintendent.

546
00:43:23,610 --> 00:43:27,150
And my name is Dylan Smith and I'm also a associate superintendent.

547
00:43:28,250 --> 00:43:28,530
All right.

548
00:43:29,550 --> 00:43:34,110
Yeah so I mean right okay so the first day of school is always an exciting time

549
00:43:34,830 --> 00:43:40,310
if you can kind of think back to your multiple first days of school and just how

550
00:43:40,310 --> 00:43:44,290
you laid your outfit out and picked your shoes and they couldn't sleep that

551
00:43:44,290 --> 00:43:49,510
night it's filled with hope and promise for the year to come the first day of

552
00:43:49,510 --> 00:43:53,750
school is important because it sets a tone for the entire academic school year

553
00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:59,430
Yes, and it also can build that confidence for our young learners and our educators

554
00:43:59,430 --> 00:44:03,610
seeing this as an opportunity for students and families.

555
00:44:03,610 --> 00:44:10,210
The whole community comes out on that first day and really supports that sense of belonging, beginning on day one.

556
00:44:10,670 --> 00:44:18,050
Both Dylan and I and all of you had the experience of being there and getting to observe some of these moments.

557
00:44:18,050 --> 00:44:30,670
So, we will share a little bit more because it was so fun seeing the community united truly outside each building is a highlight of the year.

558
00:44:31,050 --> 00:44:39,230
Throughout the next few slides, we will touch on each of our five goals and the elements of the strategies that we saw in action.

559
00:44:39,230 --> 00:44:39,290
Yeah.

560
00:44:42,220 --> 00:44:48,220
So we wanted to capture a quote here that summed up the essence of the new school year.

561
00:44:48,380 --> 00:44:52,520
So this quote reads, and not just the new school year, but the new school year in Roosevelt

562
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:53,360
area schools.

563
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:54,680
Let's do that.

564
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,980
It says we're proud to be a place where anyone, whether they were born.

565
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,760
Here are chose to make their home here. You put down roots and build a better future for their family. I really feel like that really captures the essence of Rolls-Various schools. This is very much in line with our equity vision as well. And exactly how we want our students and our families to fill about Rolls-Various schools. In a time where it seems like there are places where some are welcome and some are not, we want Rolls-Various schools to continue to be a place where you belong. Now I'll turn it over to more to begin.

566
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,300
highlighting some stories of how in our travels we've seen our strategic

567
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:39,320
planning action on the first day of school. And here it is the first for

568
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:44,240
Undergoal area one you immediately see the smiling families and children and

569
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:49,000
I'm watching everyone in the room you smile when you see this. I want to highlight

570
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:54,320
one of my favorite stories from the first day I was at EDW and out of a very

571
00:45:54,320 --> 00:46:00,860
large band seven children came out of and so I immediately walk over and one of the young

572
00:46:00,860 --> 00:46:07,560
children jumping, literally jumping up and down with Joy telling me, my cousins moved here this

573
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:15,320
summer from California and now they're coming to EDW with us. And it's like, oh, think about what

574
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:22,280
that tells us, that these children have had such a positive experience in their community at EDW,

575
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,120
that they want their own family to experience it to.

576
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,700
They want that feeling of connection, feeling seen,

577
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,380
the joy, and we want that message for all of us.

578
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,200
We love our school so much that we're going

579
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,560
to have our family come to.

580
00:46:37,260 --> 00:46:40,040
That sense of belonging is deeply connected

581
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,340
to our first strategic goal that all of our graduates

582
00:46:43,340 --> 00:46:45,920
are prepared to achieve their goals and aspirations.

583
00:46:48,250 --> 00:46:49,230
All right, gollery two.

584
00:46:49,370 --> 00:46:52,090
Our learners contribute to an equitable caring society.

585
00:46:52,090 --> 00:46:58,130
as you know our student population is very diverse. I believe the last time we

586
00:46:58,130 --> 00:47:02,610
reported it was around 62% of students identified students of color. This means

587
00:47:02,610 --> 00:47:08,230
we must be intentional about creating an environment of equity and care. From

588
00:47:08,230 --> 00:47:15,970
RISE, R-A-H-S, RISE, upperclass students greeting ninth graders and guiding them

589
00:47:15,970 --> 00:47:19,890
through the new school to our football team shown up at our elementary schools and

590
00:47:19,890 --> 00:47:21,290
welcoming students off the buses.

591
00:47:22,150 --> 00:47:25,790
This is a community of the learners

592
00:47:25,790 --> 00:47:28,690
who contribute to an equitable caring society.

593
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,900
More smiling faces here.

594
00:47:34,060 --> 00:47:36,720
Goal number three, that we are a culturally responsive,

595
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,340
inclusive, and anti-racist district.

596
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,700
And there are many different ways that we can talk

597
00:47:42,700 --> 00:47:44,620
about what this actually means.

598
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,300
One way is that we don't ask students or staff

599
00:47:48,300 --> 00:47:53,720
staff to leave their identity at the door in order to succeed in a Roseville school.

600
00:47:54,180 --> 00:47:59,380
We say we welcome you, you belong, your identity, your culture, your language matters.

601
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:06,180
We want students and staff to feel that so that we can live out that goal of being an

602
00:48:06,180 --> 00:48:08,100
inclusive and anti-racist district.

603
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,140
And go area four, the community is united behind meeting students' needs.

604
00:48:14,660 --> 00:48:19,320
You know they say if you want to bring families out, you must serve food and your kids must

605
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,040
people forming, right?

606
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,480
I want to add to that that if you want families to come out,

607
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:25,720
tell them it's the first phase.

608
00:48:27,220 --> 00:48:29,780
From hugs and tears to smiles and pictures,

609
00:48:30,460 --> 00:48:32,660
all of it can be found on the first day of school.

610
00:48:33,020 --> 00:48:35,620
It's truly, truly a family affair.

611
00:48:36,220 --> 00:48:38,480
So families want what we want.

612
00:48:39,100 --> 00:48:40,880
They want their child to love school,

613
00:48:41,100 --> 00:48:42,420
to be excited about their classes,

614
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:43,880
and to feel like they matter.

615
00:48:44,620 --> 00:48:46,500
When we are in partnership with our families,

616
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:49,340
no matter the look or makeup of that family,

617
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,060
the community is united behind being student needs

618
00:48:52,380 --> 00:48:54,520
and our students benefit from that collaboration.

619
00:48:57,750 --> 00:48:59,490
And recently at the board table,

620
00:48:59,710 --> 00:49:01,090
we've talked about the connection

621
00:49:01,090 --> 00:49:04,050
between our enrollment and goal area five.

622
00:49:04,310 --> 00:49:07,330
I want to note that a year ago when Dylan and I talked

623
00:49:07,330 --> 00:49:08,810
about our first day of report,

624
00:49:08,810 --> 00:49:11,130
we only spoke to the first four goals.

625
00:49:11,430 --> 00:49:13,390
And we've had a lot of discussion and reflection

626
00:49:13,390 --> 00:49:15,990
about everything is all five goals.

627
00:49:15,990 --> 00:49:19,650
the even the first day of school is goal number five.

628
00:49:20,470 --> 00:49:24,890
And so while we don't have that official October 1 enrollment count yet,

629
00:49:25,430 --> 00:49:31,450
I can share that what we saw in kindergarten classes across the district were happy children and happy staff.

630
00:49:31,830 --> 00:49:34,630
And we're really looking for that happy medium.

631
00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:37,050
We don't want our classes over enrolled.

632
00:49:37,550 --> 00:49:39,910
We also do not want them under enrolled.

633
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:45,790
What we saw was kindergarten classes that help ensure that we will be financially secure.

634
00:49:48,740 --> 00:49:51,700
So another quote to kind of lead us into the next section.

635
00:49:51,820 --> 00:49:56,340
School bells are ringing loud and clear vacations over school bells here.

636
00:49:57,140 --> 00:50:01,320
So the next thing we're going to show you is that we could get all the pictures and things

637
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:06,400
into those future slides you just saw so we decided to put together a video so you could

638
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,800
see a little bit more of the first day of school.

639
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:08,620
Thank you.

640
00:50:08,620 --> 00:50:09,240
And

641
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,200
join the crowd whoever want to come along

642
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:34,840
Word up, talk, talk

643
00:50:37,180 --> 00:50:39,000
Day or night, the sky's the light

644
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,560
So we dance to the break of dawn

645
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:41,620
Hey ladies and gentlemen

646
00:50:41,620 --> 00:50:42,340
I got the medicine

647
00:50:42,340 --> 00:50:43,880
So you should keep your eyes on the ball

648
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:47,020
This is getting heavy

649
00:50:47,020 --> 00:50:48,380
Can you hear the bass boom?

650
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:49,080
I'm ready

651
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,160
Life is sweet as honey

652
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,380
Yeah, this beats your chain like money

653
00:50:54,020 --> 00:50:54,800
Let's go,

654
00:50:57,150 --> 00:50:57,790
let's go

655
00:50:57,790 --> 00:51:00,470
I'm diamond, you know I glow up

656
00:51:00,470 --> 00:51:01,610
Let's go

657
00:51:28,870 --> 00:51:31,550
And join the crowd whoever want to come along

658
00:51:32,430 --> 00:51:36,930
Word up, talk, talk, just move like we do

659
00:51:36,930 --> 00:51:38,350
Day or night, the sky's the light

660
00:51:38,350 --> 00:51:39,910
So we dance to the break of dawn

661
00:51:39,910 --> 00:51:41,730
Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I got the medicine

662
00:51:41,730 --> 00:51:43,230
So you should keep your eyes on the ball

663
00:51:43,230 --> 00:51:46,350
Huh, this is getting heavy

664
00:51:46,350 --> 00:51:48,390
Can you hear the bass, boom, I'm ready

665
00:51:48,890 --> 00:51:50,490
Life is sweet as honey

666
00:51:50,490 --> 00:51:52,590
If it's beach-a-ching like money

667
00:51:53,070 --> 00:51:54,170
This is going

668
00:51:56,350 --> 00:51:57,990
good to go, I'm diamond

669
00:51:57,990 --> 00:51:59,830
You know I glow up

670
00:51:59,830 --> 00:52:00,870
Let's go,

671
00:52:14,660 --> 00:52:17,900
it's honey, get this beach of ting like money, hope

672
00:52:38,700 --> 00:52:39,300
you're not smiling.

673
00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:43,440
Smile is in our community just incredibly gorgeous, it's so fun.

674
00:52:43,660 --> 00:52:48,500
Special thank you to Carrie Ardito for helping Dylan and I put that together and for her

675
00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:53,700
work in organizing all of us to get those special moments captured, that was a team effort.

676
00:52:55,020 --> 00:53:01,440
We will also end on a quote saying a school year is a collection of stories, the ones we

677
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,460
inherit the ones we share and the ones we create together.

678
00:53:06,260 --> 00:53:10,340
And truly, we are so excited for the stories that we will create together this year.

679
00:53:13,370 --> 00:53:14,910
You're absolutely free.

680
00:53:15,030 --> 00:53:20,310
Yeah, why everyone would feel as though they belong in Roseville area schools

681
00:53:20,310 --> 00:53:23,570
and choose Roseville as well as so beautiful.

682
00:53:24,010 --> 00:53:25,590
Yeah, thank you, thank you.

683
00:53:26,810 --> 00:53:37,190
questions. Will we have this like that? Yes. Yes, we will. We will make sure that you

684
00:53:37,190 --> 00:53:42,470
can. Including the video. Including the video. Yes, thank you, this was spoken like a man who

685
00:53:42,470 --> 00:53:46,990
wanted to make sure we liked it first. We have seen what the reaction was.

686
00:53:49,270 --> 00:53:50,930
Now you will share with us.

687
00:53:50,930 --> 00:53:51,710
No, it was there.

688
00:53:51,830 --> 00:53:52,790
Got it, got it.

689
00:53:53,410 --> 00:53:54,070
Now, thank you.

690
00:53:54,170 --> 00:53:55,410
This was beautifully done.

691
00:53:55,810 --> 00:53:55,910
Yeah.

692
00:53:56,450 --> 00:54:03,050
I mean, I was there with you for two of the schools and just the energy and just people.

693
00:54:03,710 --> 00:54:04,990
Why would we be so beautiful?

694
00:54:05,050 --> 00:54:06,370
It was just really beautiful.

695
00:54:06,810 --> 00:54:06,970
Yeah.

696
00:54:07,910 --> 00:54:08,790
So, yeah.

697
00:54:08,910 --> 00:54:09,530
So, thank you.

698
00:54:09,650 --> 00:54:10,050
Thank you.

699
00:54:10,170 --> 00:54:12,050
Any comments, questions?

700
00:54:15,770 --> 00:54:16,830
Thank you for the big smile.

701
00:54:17,010 --> 00:54:17,250
Yeah.

702
00:54:17,510 --> 00:54:18,310
Thank you.

703
00:54:18,930 --> 00:54:19,650
Needed this.

704
00:54:20,130 --> 00:54:21,270
Much needed this.

705
00:54:21,450 --> 00:54:21,610
Yeah.

706
00:54:21,610 --> 00:54:22,270
Yeah, lovely.

707
00:54:22,630 --> 00:54:23,010
People

708
00:54:26,980 --> 00:54:29,140
who prep every future board meeting with that video.

709
00:54:29,580 --> 00:54:30,280
Yeah, right.

710
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,380
Yeah, just to remind ourselves, right?

711
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:41,860
Well, we have, we do have one action item and directed Thomas.

712
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:43,640
Thank you.

713
00:54:43,780 --> 00:54:44,400
What did I just say?

714
00:54:44,540 --> 00:54:45,160
Oh, my goodness.

715
00:54:45,420 --> 00:54:47,160
I know I follow up these two presentations.

716
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:47,620
I know.

717
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,280
I know, where's your video?

718
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:50,360
Yeah, we need to meet now.

719
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:53,460
Yeah, we can review the 39 page.

720
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:15,840
I'm going to share that. I'm going to share that slide deck at our operations meeting tomorrow morning.

721
00:55:15,860 --> 00:55:16,300
There you go.

722
00:55:17,180 --> 00:55:25,120
So yes that's wonderful, so it's that time of year we need the board needs to

723
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:31,260
approve the preliminary, preliminary, lovey certification. Right now we are

724
00:55:31,260 --> 00:55:36,800
still in the process of finalizing that with the Department of Education. It needs

725
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:42,880
to be submitted by September 30th. We do have I think probably the complicating

726
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:49,760
factor for us as our long-term facilities maintenance. Reviewing that, we also have

727
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:54,460
some bonds that we issue, so there's some debt service. So I'm currently working

728
00:55:54,460 --> 00:56:01,580
with Ellers and the department finalizing that. I don't see any problem. We should have

729
00:56:01,580 --> 00:56:07,340
it finalized by the end of the week. At that point, I will share that with the board.

730
00:56:07,340 --> 00:56:15,000
right now it appears based on our estimates that our levee is probably going to

731
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:25,820
decrease by about 1% and that's after approval of the tech levier a year ago. So, I

732
00:56:25,820 --> 00:56:32,260
mean our enrollment is down slightly but even some of the adjustments leveling out our long-term

733
00:56:32,260 --> 00:56:33,160
facility maintenance.

734
00:56:35,340 --> 00:56:42,680
So yes, again, a slight decrease. We ask that you at your preliminary

735
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:50,120
lobby that you certify you authorize the maximum because if there are any adjustments,

736
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:57,140
technical or what have you after the preliminary, come the final certification in December,

737
00:56:57,140 --> 00:57:03,500
you can only decrease your lobby can't increase it so the preliminary we

738
00:57:03,500 --> 00:57:09,580
always recommend and request that you certify the maximum preliminary number

739
00:57:09,580 --> 00:57:12,380
so that's what I'm here for.

740
00:57:15,820 --> 00:57:18,720
I'll make the motion and we can discuss it and just

741
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:24,010
thank you. I mean I do have one question but I'll move that the board approve the

742
00:57:24,010 --> 00:57:29,230
preliminary, lovely, payable in 2027 for this year, 2027, 28 at the maximum.

743
00:57:29,430 --> 00:57:29,870
That's a nice one.

744
00:57:30,370 --> 00:57:30,850
Second.

745
00:57:31,490 --> 00:57:32,110
Thank you.

746
00:57:33,590 --> 00:57:34,550
Your question?

747
00:57:35,210 --> 00:57:36,790
Well, oh yeah, that's right.

748
00:57:37,150 --> 00:57:37,930
We can discuss.

749
00:57:38,290 --> 00:57:40,010
Just a factual question.

750
00:57:41,750 --> 00:57:43,870
Changes in, like it goes down or up a little bit.

751
00:57:44,110 --> 00:57:44,270
Yes.

752
00:57:44,590 --> 00:57:48,330
When do taxpayers actually see that change?

753
00:57:48,830 --> 00:57:50,670
How long does it take to work through the system?

754
00:57:50,930 --> 00:57:52,010
That's a great question.

755
00:57:52,010 --> 00:57:58,170
So, this year, because the board won't have anything on the ballot, so in a typical year,

756
00:57:58,270 --> 00:58:06,730
unless there's something on the November ballot, the preliminary property tax statements,

757
00:58:06,730 --> 00:58:12,490
and again, it's just a preliminary estimate, those go out about November 15th.

758
00:58:12,570 --> 00:58:19,290
So, individuals will see that before we do our truth and taxation hearing, and you certify

759
00:58:19,290 --> 00:58:27,190
the final in December right in a in a like a year ago when we had something on the ballot

760
00:58:27,190 --> 00:58:34,030
and in a does state on those preliminary estimates that it doesn't include anything that would

761
00:58:34,030 --> 00:58:41,190
have been on the ballot November. So individuals will see that mid November when they receive the

762
00:58:41,190 --> 00:58:48,280
preliminary. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions discussion?

763
00:58:52,370 --> 00:58:54,190
Well I call for the vote

764
00:58:54,190 --> 00:59:05,170
All in favour say aye. Opposed? Motion carries. As always just thank you so much. Thank you.

765
00:59:05,350 --> 00:59:11,390
Now we can always celebrate all the great things but if we don't have our finances in order, you can't do the work.

766
00:59:11,910 --> 00:59:15,250
All right so really really appreciate. I'm still going to come up with a slide deck.

767
00:59:17,290 --> 00:59:19,250
Thank you. Thank you.

768
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:22,560
All right.

769
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:30,250
We are to study session report, I think directed time is going to do that.

770
00:59:30,570 --> 00:59:31,710
It's going to be short.

771
00:59:32,070 --> 00:59:32,290
Okay.

772
00:59:32,770 --> 00:59:39,790
At the study session on Tuesday, September 8, the Roswell Area School Board heard updates on the district's strategic plan.

773
00:59:40,050 --> 00:59:44,750
We were also updated on current enrollment numbers and future enrollment projections.

774
00:59:45,510 --> 00:59:50,290
And this led to the discussion of the budget implications of declining enrollment.

775
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:52,370
Thank you.

776
00:59:52,370 --> 00:59:59,830
Thank you. Thank you very much. All right, now to board reports. Let's start.

777
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,840
On show. Okay.

778
01:00:05,100 --> 01:00:09,400
First, I have to give a shout out to Carmen, who is on our, you know, equity council

779
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:14,980
and I've been involved from all parent and probably watching right now because at our last

780
01:00:14,980 --> 01:00:19,260
board meeting, I asked a question about the vote on the proposed amendment in the House

781
01:00:19,260 --> 01:00:23,940
in the Senate. And I had an email from her timestamp at 658 with the answer to the question.

782
01:00:25,620 --> 01:00:31,720
Thank you, Carmen. Thank you, Carmen. Thank you, Carmen, for looking out. Thank you, Dr. Lake,

783
01:00:31,820 --> 01:00:36,360
yesterday, for giving up some, your morning so that I could visit some schools as I was unable

784
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:45,140
to do the first week of school. We got into FAS and Parkview, ABE, ECFE, and EDW. And I really want

785
01:00:45,140 --> 01:00:53,580
to highlight Jeremy Burns at EDW, the head of nutrition services there. He was so proud of his

786
01:00:53,580 --> 01:00:59,280
kitchen and rightfully so that kitchen is beautiful. I wanted to work in that

787
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:06,440
kitchen. It presented like it was brand new and like not the lunch hour. I mean

788
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:10,400
every surface was immaculate. I didn't believe they were serving students at

789
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:15,360
that time and he talked about the the fruits and vegetables and the

790
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:20,560
partnership with the Department of Defense and it just it really opened my eyes

791
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,160
is to the thought and care that is put into that space.

792
01:01:23,540 --> 01:01:27,780
And I just really appreciated talking to him about that.

793
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:30,080
You're going to do that?

794
01:01:30,580 --> 01:01:30,800
OK.

795
01:01:31,620 --> 01:01:35,420
Heva and Dela and I were just at the APEC cookout.

796
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:37,920
We all have these cool bracelets.

797
01:01:39,620 --> 01:01:41,820
And it was just a wonderful community event

798
01:01:41,820 --> 01:01:44,820
to see them gathered, building community,

799
01:01:46,020 --> 01:01:48,640
and welcoming us into that space, too.

800
01:01:48,820 --> 01:01:49,160
That's great.

801
01:01:51,480 --> 01:02:01,640
I just couldn't make it. There was food, y'all. I know. I know. I couldn't make it fast enough for the

802
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:11,020
transportation. I don't know if I have anything to take in some Rollsville area high school sporting

803
01:02:11,020 --> 01:02:15,680
events. I don't know. Maybe the volleyball game after this. A little bit of the soccer game.

804
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:29,640
with the young coach celebrate that's right after a winless season last year right

805
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:38,600
they're in their first game so it's great upward trajectory all right no report for

806
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:45,380
you okay about to ask your mic let's see I did attend the finance advisory

807
01:02:45,380 --> 01:02:48,840
committee meeting, along with my fellow directors Clark and Morse Watt.

808
01:02:49,260 --> 01:02:53,520
This is the group that's put together that includes not just a few board members and

809
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:58,400
the superintendent and our business director but also members of the community, teachers,

810
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,560
some of whom are they representing E.M.

811
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:02,520
Minnesota.

812
01:03:02,580 --> 01:03:02,760
And on.

813
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:03,420
Right.

814
01:03:05,220 --> 01:03:10,880
And which Sherry and administration shared with the committee some of the budget facts and

815
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:16,120
some of the things going on, I think, as we talked about in our study session, concerns

816
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:19,300
we have about the under-enrollment that's been happening and all that just to make sure

817
01:03:19,300 --> 01:03:22,960
that the committee at least was aware and could give feedback or questions.

818
01:03:23,460 --> 01:03:27,720
So, it was very well attended, everybody there was very engaged and I think again I'm impressed

819
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:33,320
with the engagement that the folks have on that committee who were invited to join it.

820
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:33,620
itself.

821
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:48,440
I think if I'm correct, our EMR representation on this finance committee is the first?

822
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,540
They've always been represented, but the membership has increased and now their

823
01:03:52,540 --> 01:03:57,940
leadership is present at the moment. Yeah, okay, that's great. Yeah. It was nice to have them there

824
01:03:57,940 --> 01:04:03,940
because it has questions. Yeah, that's great. I'm really happy to see that. But I think, you know,

825
01:04:03,940 --> 01:04:09,800
So not only specific to being our leadership and members, but to community and everything

826
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:10,060
else.

827
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:16,440
Again, it sounds very self-congratulatory, but I think just another indication about the

828
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:20,080
Lord and the history and superintendent-like in her leadership and in terms of transparency

829
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,500
and how we want to be very upfront about the things that are happening, whether they're

830
01:04:23,500 --> 01:04:26,960
wonderful, good things like we saw earlier tonight or whether things that are going to be challenging

831
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:45,900
So in addition to first day kind of events, I did attend the early childhood first day of school, which was since our last meeting.

832
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:54,120
A lot of hugs and cool backpacks and kids with a lot of smiles and parents with a lot of tears.

833
01:04:54,120 --> 01:05:00,020
and I get it because it's it's hard to like go of your little one so it was just

834
01:05:00,020 --> 01:05:04,460
fun to be in that environment and reassure parents that I not too far away

835
01:05:04,460 --> 01:05:10,440
was in the same boat so it will be okay they're in good hands so that was kind of

836
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:15,000
fun to be in that environment and I'll reassure some families and welcome them to

837
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,580
the district. Last week we also had the American and

838
01:05:18,580 --> 01:05:22,660
We did paired advisory committee meeting, first one of the year.

839
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:29,240
A lot of the content was focused on administrative stuff, you know, setting the budget, making sure

840
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:31,300
our goals are set for the year, et cetera, et cetera.

841
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,880
And then we had our event, our cookout this evening.

842
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:43,980
Next week, they're also hosting an event on September 30th at JC's shelter over in Central

843
01:05:43,980 --> 01:05:45,700
Park if folks are interested.

844
01:05:45,700 --> 01:05:48,620
And as a reminder, that's the same day as

845
01:05:48,620 --> 01:05:51,940
Orange Shirt Day, so September 30th.

846
01:05:52,420 --> 01:05:55,120
I encourage everybody in our community to participate

847
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:59,040
by wearing an orange shirt in honor of elders

848
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:03,120
and relatives who survived boarding schools

849
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:08,900
through the history of their state and country.

850
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,000
So I think that's all I have to report.

851
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,360
Can you throw out those details again for the September 30th?

852
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,980
September 30th, there's an event.

853
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:19,960
Let me just figure out the name.

854
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,060
At Food Starts at 5.30,

855
01:06:24,700 --> 01:06:27,780
the activities go from 68 at JC's Shelter

856
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:29,220
over on Central Park.

857
01:06:30,020 --> 01:06:35,580
And it's an event focused on wild rice.

858
01:06:36,860 --> 01:06:40,040
And they will have a speaker, Hope Flanagan,

859
01:06:40,700 --> 01:06:43,200
sharing a little bit about their journey.

860
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:46,580
I think that's all the content that I have.

861
01:06:46,780 --> 01:06:48,100
Do you want to ask if you have anything else to add?

862
01:06:49,820 --> 01:06:53,640
Where is the best place or way to get an orange shirt?

863
01:06:54,500 --> 01:06:55,520
Great question.

864
01:06:56,980 --> 01:06:58,600
We discussed that for a little bit.

865
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,240
We did not have district sponsored orange shirts.

866
01:07:04,780 --> 01:07:10,000
So I would be able to get an orange shirt and that will be a way to represent.

867
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:15,200
I went online and there are indigenous organizations that sponsored the sale of

868
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:16,960
orange shirts and that's online online.

869
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:18,540
That sale sometimes, yeah.

870
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:22,860
Okay, that's good to know, thank you.

871
01:07:23,020 --> 01:07:24,660
What day is, what day of the week is that?

872
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:25,840
Next Wednesday.

873
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:26,380
Wednesday.

874
01:07:26,740 --> 01:07:27,060
Yeah.

875
01:07:29,180 --> 01:07:29,620
Thank you.

876
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:30,480
Do you have to hide there?

877
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:30,980
Yeah.

878
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:40,760
For myself, I will share that today, I was at Central Park Elementary School.

879
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:52,900
Under the leadership of teacher Sarah Lenny and Dr. Yang Chang, they have a program called

880
01:07:52,900 --> 01:07:57,580
the Mystery Engineer as part of their Spark Slap.

881
01:07:58,300 --> 01:08:03,760
So I was under Mystery Engineer this year.

882
01:08:04,620 --> 01:08:07,180
So I went to two, three classes today.

883
01:08:07,180 --> 01:08:11,720
I'm going to try to go to one tomorrow, one night I couldn't go because I'm in the conference

884
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,720
and then two more on Thursday.

885
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:24,060
And it's just so much fun to interact with the young people, not telling them who I am

886
01:08:24,060 --> 01:08:28,400
and just asking questions, they were asking questions, I was giving them a little background.

887
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:35,740
So thank you, thank you to Sarah and for their leadership to make this happen.

888
01:08:35,740 --> 01:08:42,260
It's a lot of work, and I can see it, but the students are just all loving it.

889
01:08:42,440 --> 01:08:47,980
When the reveal comes, drum row and the reveal comes, you can hear the noise, right?

890
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,540
Because some students guessed it and some students didn't.

891
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:57,080
So I'm going to have to ask you if you know what engineering can be the questions now.

892
01:08:58,100 --> 01:08:59,240
So yeah, so that was great.

893
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:07,840
So, always lovely to be with students, yeah, yeah, so anything else?

894
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:14,120
Well, I have no formal report tonight as we close September at School Board Recognition Month,

895
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:18,800
so I want to just recognize our board for being so active and present in our school community.

896
01:09:19,100 --> 01:09:23,020
You're seen and appreciated and I'm just simply filled with so much gratitude,

897
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:27,280
not only for the board, but for all of our students, staff and families in Roseville area schools.

898
01:09:27,700 --> 01:09:28,300
Thank you.

899
01:09:28,300 --> 01:09:36,940
Thank you. Thank you very much. If there are no other business in order, the meeting is adjourned.
