123
00:06:23,634 --> 00:06:25,500
And I always get this wrong even though I know it's

00:06:25,934 --> 00:06:29,467
operational expectation nine, we are working through

125
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:33,767
how we're engaging with our community, making sure

126
00:06:34,033 --> 00:06:37,033
that we're providing proactive two-way communication,

00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,367
and student engagement as well as operational expectation.

and how we respond to those and building trust.

131
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:50,533
And then we are also spending some time making sure

132
00:06:50,533 --> 00:06:53,367
that we are bringing to the board ways

133
00:06:53,433 --> 00:06:56,100

134
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:59,033

00:06:59,033 --> 00:07:00,533

and make sure that we are highlighting some of the things

140
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:13,133
that we've done this summer and the end of last school year.

141
00:07:14,266 --> 00:07:16,634
And I'm gonna invite Jenna Boberg up

00:09:39,567 --> 00:09:42,367
- You wanna do one now or at the end?

183
00:09:42,634 --> 00:09:44,266
Because if we do it now, then they can

184
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:46,033
- Leave - If they would like to leave.

185
00:09:46,266 --> 00:09:48,767
But we could do all the groups all at once instead

186
00:09:48,767 --> 00:09:50,100
of coming down forth like

187
00:09:50,133 --> 00:09:51,066
- What times. That make

188
00:09:51,066 --> 00:09:53,066
- Sense? Okay. Alright, let's take,

189
00:09:53,033 --> 00:09:54,333
- So just a clarifying question.

190
00:09:54,333 --> 00:09:56,467
Diana, do you want just the,

191
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,934
because our committee still has three other topics we wanna

192
00:09:59,934 --> 00:10:02,533
bring for, do you want the whole committee and all of those

193
00:10:02,734 --> 00:10:07,000
or just specific to the, to the recognition

194
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,333
that just occurred, the wheelchair track

195
00:10:08,333 --> 00:10:10,000
and field state championship group.

196
00:10:10,767 --> 00:10:12,266
- Marlita, what would you like to speak?

197
00:10:12,367 --> 00:10:14,066
We didn't coordinate this ahead of time.

198
00:10:14,066 --> 00:10:16,266
Do you want individual pictures of each of the four groups?

199
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:18,333
- Sure. I think - That'll work. Okay.

200
00:10:18,433 --> 00:10:21,100
I'm just thinking logistically it's easier if we don't walk

201
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:22,734
around the thing four times,

202
00:10:23,133 --> 00:10:24,533
but we could do like four pictures

203
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:28,500
and then as people finish presenting, you're welcome to stay

204
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:29,567
but then you don't feel like you

205
00:10:29,567 --> 00:10:30,700
have to stay to get your picture.

206
00:10:30,734 --> 00:10:32,133
Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay.

207
00:10:47,266 --> 00:10:49,934
I just remember we used to do that like down and then

208
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:51,066
- Up and move down.

209
00:11:22,667 --> 00:11:23,100
You beat

210
00:11:33,066 --> 00:11:33,233
together.

211
00:11:37,567 --> 00:11:37,734
I,

212
00:11:45,333 --> 00:11:45,567
yep.

213
00:11:46,266 --> 00:11:50,467
Alright. Three, two. Let me get one more.

214
00:11:52,467 --> 00:11:57,233
Okay. Got it. And so board. So then board next group. Yes.

215
00:11:57,567 --> 00:11:58,634
That. Yes.

216
00:11:59,634 --> 00:12:04,300
So we have, yeah, you guys Stankey.

217
00:12:04,567 --> 00:12:09,533
Stankey. Yeah. They can slot in next group.

218
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,133
We're gonna do a group photo, a preemptive photo

219
00:12:25,634 --> 00:12:26,367
maybe in the future.

220
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,266
We catch it right before the meeting starts.

221
00:12:37,066 --> 00:12:41,834
Alright, same. Okay.

222
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:46,100
3, 2, 1 more.

223
00:12:48,767 --> 00:12:50,133
Okay. Alright.

224
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:11,567
Three, two. Okay.

225
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:25,000
De

226
00:13:29,133 --> 00:13:30,500
more coming in a little bit.

227
00:13:30,667 --> 00:13:31,266
Lemme try and

228
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:40,500
I should be okay.

229
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,634
One more. Got it.

230
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:50,867
We're all good.

231
00:14:03,333 --> 00:14:03,767
The meeting.

232
00:14:10,233 --> 00:14:11,233
I dunno.

233
00:14:12,266 --> 00:14:15,367
- Okay, next up we have the hope glad raising

234
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:16,567
that, that complication.

235
00:14:16,667 --> 00:14:20,834
So on June 22nd, the school board

236
00:14:21,333 --> 00:14:26,033
unanimously approve the policy update

237
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:28,066
to policy INDA.

238
00:14:28,700 --> 00:14:31,233
And that work was led by Jenny King

239
00:14:32,066 --> 00:14:35,767
and then Jenny as well as two of our

240
00:14:36,834 --> 00:14:37,867
committee members.

241
00:14:38,467 --> 00:14:41,367
Sadie and Kerry are both here. Can you guys hear me?

242
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,333
Sadie and Kerry are here

243
00:14:43,333 --> 00:14:47,567
and they're going to just share a few words from

244
00:14:48,233 --> 00:14:49,266
the their experience

245
00:14:49,266 --> 00:14:52,033
and their involvement with being on the whole Trump flag

246
00:14:52,033 --> 00:14:55,834
grazing committee relative to convocation

247
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,133
and the flag grazing ceremony at convocation.

248
00:14:58,166 --> 00:15:01,500
And so I have, I'm gonna invite now both Sadie

249
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:04,000
and Kerry up as well as ingenious here,

250
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,634
but she STULL ST. Want us to come up to

251
00:15:05,634 --> 00:15:06,634
- Just share things.

252
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:13,533
Hello, my name is Sadie.

253
00:15:13,834 --> 00:15:16,333
I'm here for Hannah, the president of the UISU.

254
00:15:18,033 --> 00:15:20,867
I am going to start the UISU middle school grade

255
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:25,000
for Central Heights during convocation UISU members.

256
00:15:25,133 --> 00:15:27,834
And I shared our Y statement, which was led

257
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,333
by our beloved Hannah, founder of VYSU.

258
00:15:32,567 --> 00:15:36,934
I also shared one of my award rating poems afterwards.

259
00:15:37,266 --> 00:15:39,100
I had many people come up to me

260
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:42,000
and say that they enjoyed the flag raising the most

261
00:15:42,266 --> 00:15:44,100
and that they hoped they would continue

262
00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:45,467
for many years to come.

263
00:15:49,033 --> 00:15:51,100
I also heard from other people

264
00:15:52,767 --> 00:15:54,066
that they felt

265
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,734
as though people from the indigenous community were

266
00:15:56,734 --> 00:15:57,934
finally being heard.

267
00:15:59,133 --> 00:16:01,000
And as well as my tutor.

268
00:16:01,367 --> 00:16:03,500
Abby said that she enjoyed the kids

269
00:16:03,667 --> 00:16:04,834
from the native community.

270
00:16:04,834 --> 00:16:07,867
Having Vogt a voice, I hope that we continue

271
00:16:07,867 --> 00:16:09,233
to have native voices heard

272
00:16:09,233 --> 00:16:12,367
and enjoy by others for many years on board.

273
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,266
- Hi, I am Kerry Holzman.

274
00:16:21,367 --> 00:16:24,000
I am here today as a mother of two indigenous students.

275
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:27,133
Our experience raising the HoChunk flag was one

276
00:16:27,133 --> 00:16:29,100
of gratitude, pride, and resilience.

277
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:31,634
My daughter, Sadie, was able to share one

278
00:16:31,634 --> 00:16:33,934
of her award-winning poems about being Menominee.

279
00:16:34,333 --> 00:16:37,533
She was overwhelmed with love and support for many people in

280
00:16:37,634 --> 00:16:39,033
and outside of the district.

281
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:42,834
Together we attended First Nation Flags meetings

282
00:16:42,834 --> 00:16:45,734
as committee members and have watched our community grow

283
00:16:45,734 --> 00:16:46,867
through Title vi.

284
00:16:47,333 --> 00:16:50,100
We continue to receive feedback on convocation

285
00:16:50,467 --> 00:16:52,767
as being some people's favorite portion.

286
00:16:53,567 --> 00:16:56,634
I've heard of people move to tears, having goosebumps

287
00:16:56,734 --> 00:17:00,367
and eager to learn more about our indigenous communities.

288
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:04,100
The presence of Mr. Green Deer, president

289
00:17:04,133 --> 00:17:07,867
of HoChunk Nation signifies the profound importance

290
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:10,266
of our work on the First Nation Flag Committee.

291
00:17:11,100 --> 00:17:14,066
The flag represents so much to our community

292
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,867
and acknowledges the land our district occupies

293
00:17:17,033 --> 00:17:19,066
as sacred HoChunk homeland.

294
00:17:20,033 --> 00:17:24,300
This is where our work begins, continues and never ends.

295
00:17:25,066 --> 00:17:28,000
We must listen to indigenous people's unique needs,

296
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:31,500
respect their history, sovereignty and determination,

297
00:17:31,867 --> 00:17:33,100
and stand with them.

298
00:17:33,867 --> 00:17:37,500
The land acknowledgement is a call to action, a promise

299
00:17:37,667 --> 00:17:41,033
to our indigenous communities that the work is ongoing.

300
00:17:41,734 --> 00:17:46,066
As Jenny King stated, may this teaching be more than words.

301
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:51,100
May it call us to listen better, learn more, reflect often,

302
00:17:51,734 --> 00:17:54,100
and may it inspire us to walk together

303
00:17:54,266 --> 00:17:57,867
with indigenous communities towards a future rooted in

304
00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:01,300
respect, reciprocity, healing, justice,

305
00:18:02,066 --> 00:18:04,266
and a shared commitment to caring for one another.

306
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:06,033
And the land we all call home.

307
00:18:07,233 --> 00:18:12,000
We have a responsibility to fulfill this promise beyond

308
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,467
what it means for us personally,

309
00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:15,333
for our indigenous community.

310
00:18:15,333 --> 00:18:19,266
They feel seen the community we are building is strong,

311
00:18:19,834 --> 00:18:21,100
resilient, determined,

312
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:23,233
and bigger than any of us can imagine.

313
00:18:24,133 --> 00:18:28,100
This is one small step towards creating safe, respectful,

314
00:18:28,166 --> 00:18:29,634
and knowledgeable community.

315
00:18:30,033 --> 00:18:32,867
And I hope to soon see indigenous students

316
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,934
and families represented in our equity statement.

317
00:18:36,133 --> 00:18:37,133
Stankey

318
00:18:50,867 --> 00:18:51,867
- Stankey.

319
00:18:52,266 --> 00:18:55,333
- So we are going to switch gears

320
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:58,734
and go over to our community community

321
00:18:58,734 --> 00:19:00,100
conversations with Dr. Reed.

322
00:19:00,266 --> 00:19:03,867
And so I'm going to bring up Cory Robinson, who has been

323
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,100
a Sun Prairie area school district, Thao parent

324
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:09,834
or caregiver for eight years.

325
00:19:10,333 --> 00:19:12,734
She has two children in the district

326
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:15,767
and they are, they go to Central Heights Middle School.

327
00:19:16,133 --> 00:19:20,033
And so she's going to speak more about the impact

328
00:19:20,066 --> 00:19:23,500
that our first community forum had on her, her family.

329
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,467
And just talk a little bit more about that.

330
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:29,834
I have my notes.

331
00:19:35,533 --> 00:19:35,867
- Okay.

332
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:43,000
- As Mara mentioned, my name is Corey Robinson.

333
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,233
Can you hear me? Okay.

334
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,734
So I have the opportunity to attend the first community

335
00:19:49,734 --> 00:19:51,367
forum led by Dr. Reed.

336
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:54,834
And I truly enjoyed the atmosphere in the overall

337
00:19:54,834 --> 00:19:55,934
cadence of the forum.

338
00:19:56,367 --> 00:19:59,700
So it started out with Dr. Reed immediately engaging

339
00:19:59,734 --> 00:20:03,066
with the community and asking what was most important to us.

340
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,133
As expected, everyone pretty much said their

341
00:20:07,133 --> 00:20:09,033
family or their children.

342
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:12,066
And then he went on to talk a little bit about his vision

343
00:20:12,133 --> 00:20:15,533
for the school district and continued to engage with us back

344
00:20:15,533 --> 00:20:18,834
and forth ending with answering all of our questions.

345
00:20:20,133 --> 00:20:22,467
The engagement is what really stuck out to me most.

346
00:20:23,233 --> 00:20:26,133
So he wasn't just there to talk at us,

347
00:20:26,233 --> 00:20:28,066
but he wanted to get our perspective

348
00:20:28,333 --> 00:20:31,033
and our thoughts openly and it felt genuine.

349
00:20:31,734 --> 00:20:34,133
So just based on what I've seen in the last couple months,

350
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,700
there seems to be a positive shift in visibility

351
00:20:37,867 --> 00:20:39,000
of the district leadership.

352
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:42,700
The visibility creates an atmosphere of accountability

353
00:20:42,934 --> 00:20:44,934
and neutral respect where caregivers

354
00:20:44,934 --> 00:20:47,700
and community members can engage in a healthy

355
00:20:47,934 --> 00:20:49,734
and even sometimes passionate

356
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:51,133
dialogue, which I think is needed.

357
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,867
I think it creates a sense of belonging and community

358
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:59,533
because ultimately we're here for all of our scholars

359
00:21:00,066 --> 00:21:01,934
and anything other that than that,

360
00:21:02,634 --> 00:21:03,834
you know, we have no room for.

361
00:21:03,934 --> 00:21:07,767
So I think it shows a sign of support for an environment

362
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:10,000
where our educators and staff

363
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,233
and families can utilize their voices.

364
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,333
I believe at its core, Sun Prairie is a great community

365
00:21:17,834 --> 00:21:19,066
and we can be even better.

366
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,834
So the ones that genuinely care about the community,

367
00:21:24,066 --> 00:21:26,533
I think have to continue to show up for one another

368
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:30,634
and lift others, others along the way so that some

369
00:21:30,634 --> 00:21:32,066
of those negative few voices in the room

370
00:21:32,066 --> 00:21:33,333
don't remain the loudest.

371
00:21:33,934 --> 00:21:36,867
So I know many families have different experiences within

372
00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:40,266
the district and so I think with this new leadership

373
00:21:40,367 --> 00:21:42,133
and administration and how they're

374
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:46,333
push pushing towards visibility, I think we should be open

375
00:21:46,367 --> 00:21:49,634
to that change and willing to kind of help steer the ship

376
00:21:49,867 --> 00:21:52,100
and in the right direction

377
00:21:52,233 --> 00:21:54,867
and continue to attend these community forums,

378
00:21:54,867 --> 00:21:56,066
which I think is a great start.

379
00:21:56,867 --> 00:22:00,100
I really like the idea of the monthly community forums

380
00:22:00,266 --> 00:22:03,467
or even quarterly maybe, I guess as we move things along,

381
00:22:03,634 --> 00:22:06,266
I know we're still getting to know Dr. Reed,

382
00:22:07,467 --> 00:22:09,767
but I think incorporating that community feedback

383
00:22:09,767 --> 00:22:13,700
and then providing different updates on those initiatives is

384
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:16,100
what strengthens our community and creates trust

385
00:22:16,333 --> 00:22:20,100
and engagement within community members and the district.

386
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:23,734
So I hope we can keep this momentum strong from the

387
00:22:23,734 --> 00:22:25,300
administration and from the community

388
00:22:26,066 --> 00:22:27,867
because our scholars deserve it.

389
00:22:28,066 --> 00:22:28,634
Stankey,

390
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:36,734
Stankey, Stankey, Corey.

391
00:22:37,066 --> 00:22:39,000
And I just want to say that the next,

392
00:22:39,033 --> 00:22:43,133
the next community forum is October 20, no,

393
00:22:43,934 --> 00:22:46,634
September 24th at Royal Oaks.

394
00:22:46,734 --> 00:22:50,266
And it's from five 30 to, no, am I getting it right?

395
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:52,000
It's from 5:00 PM to six 30. Yes.

396
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:54,100
So Royal Oaks, September 24th

397
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,033
and I'm gonna bring up Jamie Racine next.

398
00:22:59,433 --> 00:23:02,300
Stankey. My name is Jamie Stein.

399
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:05,133
I serve as the program coordinator for community schools.

400
00:23:05,367 --> 00:23:09,734
And it's my honor to welcome up Latoya Holiday who served

401
00:23:09,867 --> 00:23:12,100
as the chair for the Summer Juneteenth

402
00:23:12,166 --> 00:23:13,734
celebration this year.

403
00:23:14,734 --> 00:23:17,100
Summer Juneteenth Celebration started

404
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:20,300
as community members coming together in 2018

405
00:23:20,634 --> 00:23:23,233
and in 2019 community schools took it over

406
00:23:23,367 --> 00:23:25,066
as a community committee

407
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,333
and we continue to share leadership with Boys

408
00:23:28,333 --> 00:23:31,000
and Girls Club, the City of Sun Prairie

409
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:33,000
and other community leaders.

410
00:23:33,133 --> 00:23:36,066
And it is led by the community for the community.

411
00:23:36,233 --> 00:23:41,033
And I'll invite Latoya up to talk more about that Stankey.

412
00:23:41,033 --> 00:23:45,266
Jamie? Hello everyone. Stankey for having me.

413
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:49,834
And I'll just say that the Juneteenth celebration is one

414
00:23:49,834 --> 00:23:51,333
of my most favorite times of the year.

415
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:54,767
I've been really privileged to be able to work

416
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:57,533
with a really great group of individuals on

417
00:23:57,533 --> 00:23:59,100
that committee over the past.

418
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:02,066
How many years have I been working with 23?

419
00:24:02,867 --> 00:24:04,533
I don't know, four years maybe? I don't know.

420
00:24:05,133 --> 00:24:07,533
I think we got started on the committee in 2023.

421
00:24:08,433 --> 00:24:10,634
Lisa Goldsberry also has worked with

422
00:24:10,634 --> 00:24:11,834
that committee for many, many years.

423
00:24:11,867 --> 00:24:14,133
Started one of the community members

424
00:24:14,133 --> 00:24:17,033
that started the Sun Prairie Juneteenth celebration.

425
00:24:17,367 --> 00:24:19,367
And so it's just one of my most favorite times of year

426
00:24:19,367 --> 00:24:22,133
because of the fact that what it represents

427
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:25,100
for the black community of Sun Prairie, it's a time

428
00:24:25,367 --> 00:24:26,467
of just celebration.

429
00:24:26,467 --> 00:24:28,500
It's a time of family, it's a time of love,

430
00:24:28,634 --> 00:24:29,934
it's a time of connection.

431
00:24:30,100 --> 00:24:32,634
It's a time to just celebrate Wayne Black

432
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:37,033
and uplifting our culture, uplifting what we do, dancing,

433
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,867
having food, family, all the things that we love to do.

434
00:24:40,634 --> 00:24:41,700
And we just appreciate

435
00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:43,834
how the Sun Prairie community has wrapped itself

436
00:24:43,834 --> 00:24:44,867
around this celebration

437
00:24:44,867 --> 00:24:46,467
and wrapped itself around the

438
00:24:46,467 --> 00:24:47,567
black community of Sun Prairie.

439
00:24:47,634 --> 00:24:49,767
And it's our time again to just celebrate, bring us

440
00:24:49,834 --> 00:24:50,867
and celebrate our culture.

441
00:24:51,834 --> 00:24:54,133
A couple things I wanna highlight about the celebration.

442
00:24:54,467 --> 00:24:57,734
As Jamie mentioned, it is a collaborative events

443
00:24:57,834 --> 00:24:59,233
that is co-sponsored

444
00:25:00,066 --> 00:25:03,000
and really led by a number of important departments.

445
00:25:03,467 --> 00:25:06,033
The Sun Prairie Equity Department has been an integral

446
00:25:06,033 --> 00:25:08,634
partner of this celebration for many, many years,

447
00:25:08,834 --> 00:25:12,000
has been a platinum sponsor of this event along

448
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,100
with Sun Prairie Community Schools.

449
00:25:13,166 --> 00:25:14,367
As Jamie mentioned, the Boys

450
00:25:14,367 --> 00:25:16,467
and Girls Club of Dane County is one of our

451
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:20,000
important partners and also the City of Sun Prairie as well.

452
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:22,300
So we're happy to have all of those partners.

453
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:24,066
But I also do wanna highlight

454
00:25:24,066 --> 00:25:27,066
that in the Sun Prairie community, we do have a number

455
00:25:27,233 --> 00:25:30,033
of partners who contribute financially to this event.

456
00:25:30,033 --> 00:25:32,734
This is a free event that we offer free food

457
00:25:33,133 --> 00:25:34,300
to everyone that comes.

458
00:25:34,734 --> 00:25:37,567
And this year, along with those that I just mentioned,

459
00:25:37,567 --> 00:25:39,367
Madison College was a platinum sponsor

460
00:25:39,567 --> 00:25:41,467
of the Sun Prairie United Methodist Church.

461
00:25:41,934 --> 00:25:45,467
Sun Prairie Utilities sponsors us our Saviors Finish Line

462
00:25:45,467 --> 00:25:46,533
Towing Sunshine Place.

463
00:25:46,634 --> 00:25:48,533
I'm just gonna say a couple markets of this time along this

464
00:25:49,033 --> 00:25:51,567
Express Children's Museum, Chick-fil-A Casta

465
00:25:51,634 --> 00:25:52,834
and the Madison MALLARD.

466
00:25:52,834 --> 00:25:56,934
We also just wanna, we always just wanna give gratitude

467
00:25:56,934 --> 00:25:59,634
to those sponsors for supporting our events

468
00:25:59,667 --> 00:26:02,333
and supporting again the black community in Sun Prairie.

469
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:05,066
So we just look forward to continuing

470
00:26:05,066 --> 00:26:06,500
to host this event every year.

471
00:26:06,767 --> 00:26:09,300
Every year we try to make it greater and bigger.

472
00:26:09,934 --> 00:26:12,100
I'm not sure what our count was this year. I don't know.

473
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:15,333
It's always a couple hundred folks, a lot

474
00:26:15,333 --> 00:26:16,467
of people, a lot of work.

475
00:26:16,934 --> 00:26:18,066
And it's just a fun time.

476
00:26:18,834 --> 00:26:21,000
Dr. Morgan starts the Grill Master every year.

477
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,300
You see on the picture, our principal Barrett is

478
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:24,333
always out there too.

479
00:26:24,734 --> 00:26:27,133
We had Melissa and Colleena helping serve food.

480
00:26:27,367 --> 00:26:30,066
We had kids back there, we had a city council member.

481
00:26:30,333 --> 00:26:31,333
So it's just a fun event

482
00:26:31,467 --> 00:26:34,000
and we just appreciate the support from the district,

483
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,634
from this board and from the community.

484
00:26:35,667 --> 00:26:37,467
So Stankey all for the support and partnership.

485
00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:49,734
- This is hard. We're

486
00:26:49,734 --> 00:26:50,834
falling apart without you.

487
00:26:51,634 --> 00:26:52,634
That's okay.

488
00:26:58,333 --> 00:27:02,300
- So we look forward to continuing to share stories, updates

489
00:27:02,367 --> 00:27:04,266
and how students are progressing

490
00:27:04,367 --> 00:27:06,734
and how students are achieving success

491
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:08,033
and doing that in alignment

492
00:27:08,033 --> 00:27:11,000
with Operation Expectation OE nine.

493
00:27:11,266 --> 00:27:15,066
So our intent is to bring information to the community,

494
00:27:15,066 --> 00:27:16,367
bring information to the school board,

495
00:27:16,734 --> 00:27:19,066
and alignment with policy OE nine.

496
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:22,500
So extend gratitude to all of the members of our,

497
00:27:22,567 --> 00:27:27,100
our committee, again, Brian Ena Mara, as well as James,

498
00:27:27,367 --> 00:27:31,834
myself and, and and and and our community at at large.

499
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:36,867
And so Stankey. And that's our update for our first at bat.

500
00:27:37,100 --> 00:27:38,567
And we're accepting feedback

501
00:27:38,867 --> 00:27:42,634
so please share your feedback sister community of the hall.

502
00:27:42,634 --> 00:27:46,000
And so we'll take that feedback and we'll work to add

503
00:27:46,133 --> 00:27:49,867
and revise and improve to continue to bring this to you all

504
00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:51,634
and to the community in a way that makes sense.

505
00:27:51,834 --> 00:27:52,834
Stankey?

506
00:27:55,133 --> 00:27:55,367
- Yes.

507
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:03,066
- Okay. And I was just leaning over to ask Dr.

508
00:28:03,033 --> 00:28:04,567
Re 'cause this is our, this is our first

509
00:28:04,567 --> 00:28:06,000
time figuring out our format.

510
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,467
So we just went through all four agenda items without

511
00:28:08,467 --> 00:28:09,867
really a pause for the board.

512
00:28:09,867 --> 00:28:11,934
But I don't know if this is a good opportunity to kind

513
00:28:11,934 --> 00:28:15,033
of pause and take a moment if anyone had comments

514
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:16,100
or questions on any

515
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:19,567
of the four presentations, we could take a turn.

516
00:28:19,767 --> 00:28:21,000
Colleen, do you wanna start us

517
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,000
- Off?

518
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,033
I was gonna say it's really, I,

519
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:25,700
I enjoy personally hearing about things going on in the

520
00:28:25,867 --> 00:28:28,000
district and with our students and our staff

521
00:28:28,233 --> 00:28:31,333
and I find it uplift and so I thought that was awesome.

522
00:28:31,734 --> 00:28:35,300
Great way to start. It also says one the

523
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:36,367
good news is the bad news first.

524
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:37,734
I always say good news 'cause it's

525
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,300
who doesn't enjoy a smile hearing all

526
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:40,533
wonderful things going on our community.

527
00:28:40,533 --> 00:28:41,767
So that was wonderful Stankey guys.

528
00:28:44,033 --> 00:28:45,500
Oh now that there's bad news coming,

529
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000
didn't totally do that at all.

530
00:28:50,333 --> 00:28:52,066
- Just - Appreciate the work that the committee is doing.

531
00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:55,100
Enjoy seeing these events get a little spotlight.

532
00:28:55,233 --> 00:28:57,333
So great work to all the administrators helping with this.

533
00:29:00,266 --> 00:29:03,867
- Yeah, I, yeah, I'm back up what everyone just said

534
00:29:04,133 --> 00:29:07,100
and my only, not complaint,

535
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:10,934
but as I wish the community forums would stop conflicting

536
00:29:10,934 --> 00:29:14,567
with other events on my calendar, which is, you know,

537
00:29:15,433 --> 00:29:16,634
not it's unavoidable

538
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:19,033
but I just hope I can make it to one eventually.

539
00:29:19,867 --> 00:29:22,266
'cause I think the September 24th one also conflicts for me.

540
00:29:22,734 --> 00:29:25,867
So eventually I hope to make it to one. But yeah,

541
00:29:29,233 --> 00:29:34,100
- No, no, no, no,

542
00:29:36,333 --> 00:29:38,867
- No questions or anything except

543
00:29:38,934 --> 00:29:41,033
to say Stankey for all the work that

544
00:29:41,033 --> 00:29:43,133
- You guys have been doing and Stankey to everybody who

545
00:29:44,467 --> 00:29:46,834
helped to make all of those events happen.

546
00:29:47,066 --> 00:29:51,233
- So Stankey, - I just wanna say,

547
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,133
I just wanna say Stankey to everyone for sharing

548
00:29:56,266 --> 00:29:57,734
and I love like hearing about

549
00:29:58,667 --> 00:30:01,066
going out in the community and Stankey for all the work.

550
00:30:01,467 --> 00:30:05,000
Everyone. Yeah, I agree. Stankey.

551
00:30:07,433 --> 00:30:09,100
Now I'll just add to the grad, I Stankey

552
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:10,300
to the board members

553
00:30:10,667 --> 00:30:12,133
and the committee members for pulling

554
00:30:12,133 --> 00:30:13,333
that all together pretty quickly

555
00:30:13,533 --> 00:30:15,066
for our first committee of the whole meeting.

556
00:30:15,066 --> 00:30:16,500
That was a lot of guests to bring in

557
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:19,133
and I really love the energy that it brought

558
00:30:19,133 --> 00:30:21,500
to the boardroom to have that many people here

559
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:22,834
to help kick off our meetings.

560
00:30:22,834 --> 00:30:24,100
So that was a really nice feel.

561
00:30:24,333 --> 00:30:27,266
Looking forward to seeing how this evolves as we keep going.

562
00:30:27,367 --> 00:30:31,000
But it's definitely the epitome of OE nine engagement

563
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,133
and communication with the community.

564
00:30:32,166 --> 00:30:36,834
Just why that was great. Any final comments or questions?

565
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:41,133
Okay, we'll keep going. So then the next committee

566
00:30:41,133 --> 00:30:43,667
that we're gonna introduce is our Teaching learning

567
00:30:43,767 --> 00:30:45,033
and Equity committee.

568
00:30:46,233 --> 00:30:48,333
So yeah, it's like gonna hand it off

569
00:30:48,333 --> 00:30:50,033
to Dr. Turner here to introduce.

570
00:30:53,700 --> 00:30:56,533
- Alright, good evening. I am Dr.

571
00:30:56,533 --> 00:30:59,266
TERRA Turner, the assistant superintendent of

572
00:31:00,734 --> 00:31:02,100
teaching learning and equity.

573
00:31:02,433 --> 00:31:03,767
- I can hear you but I don't know.

574
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:05,367
- I don't think the microphone is on.

575
00:31:06,066 --> 00:31:08,033
- It'll help the stream. I could hear you now.

576
00:31:09,867 --> 00:31:12,500
- Sorry about that. No, you're good. Good evening. I'm Dr.

577
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:14,433
TERRA Turner, the assistant superintendent

578
00:31:14,533 --> 00:31:16,066
of Teaching learning and Equity.

579
00:31:16,367 --> 00:31:20,066
And I am excited to introduce our committee

580
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,033
and then share with you what we've been up to

581
00:31:22,033 --> 00:31:23,433
for the beginning of the school year.

582
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:27,734
So first I'll introduce our board member representatives.

583
00:31:27,734 --> 00:31:31,000
We have Ms. Melissa Grayson and AMANDA Davis.

584
00:31:32,033 --> 00:31:35,300
And then from the TLE team we have Rick Mueller

585
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,300
and Sarah Prey Klain

586
00:31:38,133 --> 00:31:39,734
and we also have many other members

587
00:31:39,734 --> 00:31:41,133
of the TLE team here tonight.

588
00:31:41,166 --> 00:31:42,433
So Stankey all for being here.

589
00:31:44,667 --> 00:31:46,834
Tonight's presentation focus is really just

590
00:31:46,834 --> 00:31:48,734
to celebrate the start of the school year as that

591
00:31:48,734 --> 00:31:52,000
so resonating theme, we wanna highlight how we prepared

592
00:31:52,033 --> 00:31:55,734
for our scholars and share early indicators of our areas

593
00:31:55,867 --> 00:31:59,033
of focus that are aligned around our work pertaining

594
00:31:59,033 --> 00:32:02,033
to student success and set the stage

595
00:32:02,033 --> 00:32:03,166
for continuous improvement.

596
00:32:05,433 --> 00:32:08,066
So first we're gonna talk about some community connections

597
00:32:08,233 --> 00:32:13,166
and that pertains to OE 10.2, ensuring

598
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:15,767
that school communities work together both inside

599
00:32:16,033 --> 00:32:17,333
and outside of the classroom.

600
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
There we go. So this is an image of a strip that we took.

601
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:30,533
This is the Creekside Elementary team

602
00:32:31,033 --> 00:32:34,634
and we visit Rolling Prairie and we went out there

603
00:32:34,734 --> 00:32:37,166
and really just sought to see our scholars

604
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:39,834
and ask them what they've been up to.

605
00:32:39,934 --> 00:32:41,066
Ask 'em are they ready for school

606
00:32:41,100 --> 00:32:43,033
and really just make that connection overall

607
00:32:43,033 --> 00:32:44,333
with the families and the community.

608
00:32:44,467 --> 00:32:46,700
So we had a lot of fun, we had a lot

609
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:48,033
of babies come out as you can see.

610
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:50,300
And we even had some older siblings.

611
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:53,066
And so that was neat just to see their response

612
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:54,100
to the Creekside team

613
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:56,033
because they were beyond elementary school,

614
00:32:56,634 --> 00:32:59,533
but still happy to see their formal former

615
00:32:59,567 --> 00:33:01,233
administrators and teachers.

616
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:12,500
In addition, we did some preparing educators

617
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:14,500
to engage our scholar readiness.

618
00:33:15,066 --> 00:33:18,467
And I'm specifically going to speak about some trainings

619
00:33:18,467 --> 00:33:19,934
that happened over the summer

620
00:33:20,233 --> 00:33:21,634
and at the start of the school year.

621
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:25,066
SOS op training is one of the types

622
00:33:25,066 --> 00:33:28,867
of professional development that engaged over 70 educators.

623
00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:32,000
What op training is, it's called Sheltered and Instruction.

624
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:34,934
Observation Protocol, a fancy name.

625
00:33:35,066 --> 00:33:37,834
But basically it seeks to connect English learners

626
00:33:38,066 --> 00:33:40,100
with more complex academic content,

627
00:33:40,166 --> 00:33:41,934
making it more accessible for them.

628
00:33:42,634 --> 00:33:46,467
We also introduced our elementary behavior matrix, rolled

629
00:33:46,467 --> 00:33:48,300
that out so that we have consistent language

630
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:49,367
around behaviors

631
00:33:50,367 --> 00:33:53,734
and that all ties into OE 10.3,

632
00:33:53,867 --> 00:33:55,533
which is ensuring professional development

633
00:33:55,567 --> 00:33:58,500
with a focus on student personal development,

634
00:33:58,867 --> 00:34:00,834
learning partnerships and a culture of care.

635
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,100
Additionally, we did some training

636
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:13,100
around courageous conversations about race to continue

637
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:14,500
to address systemic inequities

638
00:34:14,834 --> 00:34:17,033
and advance culturally relevant teaching.

639
00:34:17,834 --> 00:34:19,567
And there are 250 staff

640
00:34:19,734 --> 00:34:22,834
that participated in courageous conversations about race

641
00:34:23,033 --> 00:34:24,300
training over the summer

642
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:28,033
and also fulfills our instructional framework to commitment

643
00:34:28,033 --> 00:34:30,734
to equity and disrupting inequality.

644
00:34:35,367 --> 00:34:39,533
So then we had ensuring that we're preparing

645
00:34:39,533 --> 00:34:41,266
for the first day of school, what we call our day one

646
00:34:41,266 --> 00:34:42,300
readiness indicators.

647
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:44,133
So all school principals verified

648
00:34:44,367 --> 00:34:46,767
that their school systems were fully prepared

649
00:34:46,834 --> 00:34:50,133
to start the academic year in alignment with instructional

650
00:34:50,166 --> 00:34:52,333
and operational expectations of our system

651
00:34:54,233 --> 00:34:57,133
and always prioritizing social emotional learning

652
00:34:57,166 --> 00:34:58,533
along with academics.

653
00:34:59,033 --> 00:35:02,867
We ensured that our staff received behavioral deescalation

654
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:05,233
training through nonviolent crisis

655
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:07,233
intervention certification.

656
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:10,834
And so multiple staff were certified over the summer,

657
00:35:11,567 --> 00:35:16,033
including SCAs teachers related service professionals,

658
00:35:16,033 --> 00:35:18,300
student service staff members, deans, administrators,

659
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:21,467
just trying to make sure that every adult that engages

660
00:35:21,467 --> 00:35:23,133
with our scholars is prepared

661
00:35:23,133 --> 00:35:25,266
to enhance their learning experience

662
00:35:25,266 --> 00:35:26,367
and they have the training

663
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:28,467
and the professional knowledge to do so.

664
00:35:33,066 --> 00:35:35,333
Alright, so next I'm gonna talk to you about bags.

665
00:35:35,433 --> 00:35:37,100
And you've heard a lot about bags, you know

666
00:35:37,033 --> 00:35:39,533
by now it's behavior, attendance, grades,

667
00:35:39,533 --> 00:35:40,767
social emotional learning,

668
00:35:40,900 --> 00:35:43,500
and then the scores from all of the bags are

669
00:35:43,500 --> 00:35:44,934
how we assess how we're doing.

670
00:35:48,033 --> 00:35:51,266
Okay, Karen, I'm gonna ask if you can click

671
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:57,100
a link Stankey.

672
00:35:57,767 --> 00:35:58,100
Sure.

673
00:36:02,934 --> 00:36:07,066
All right, thanks. So what this is, again, we talk about

674
00:36:07,066 --> 00:36:09,266
that a lot, but sometimes it's just needs to condense it

675
00:36:09,266 --> 00:36:11,266
and put it into like a five step process

676
00:36:11,467 --> 00:36:12,634
for a clear understanding.

677
00:36:12,867 --> 00:36:16,567
So the first thing we do is we start with our SRS

678
00:36:17,367 --> 00:36:20,767
and connect that to all of the initiatives that we're doing

679
00:36:21,066 --> 00:36:22,767
and our current ways of existing.

680
00:36:24,133 --> 00:36:25,767
And then step two is we define the back.

681
00:36:25,834 --> 00:36:28,567
So which element of the student's learning experience aligns

682
00:36:28,567 --> 00:36:29,934
to behavior, attendance, grades

683
00:36:29,934 --> 00:36:31,066
and social emotional learning.

684
00:36:31,433 --> 00:36:35,066
And what we know is that they overlap at times as well.

685
00:36:36,767 --> 00:36:39,033
Step three is creating interpretation.

686
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:41,367
So this is where our committee work comes into play

687
00:36:41,567 --> 00:36:43,634
because when we have our meetings,

688
00:36:43,634 --> 00:36:45,934
what we're looking at is in our journey

689
00:36:45,934 --> 00:36:48,500
of continuous improvement, how are we interpreting

690
00:36:48,634 --> 00:36:52,033
what we're doing to meet our SRS and our oes?

691
00:36:53,133 --> 00:36:55,100
I'm excited to announce that we're at step four

692
00:36:55,233 --> 00:36:56,767
of the B process.

693
00:36:57,567 --> 00:36:59,333
We have attained some baseline data

694
00:36:59,634 --> 00:37:02,066
and next week on September 24th,

695
00:37:02,433 --> 00:37:04,500
we will have our first meeting with all principals

696
00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:05,700
and leadership collaborative.

697
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:08,734
And at that meeting data will be presented about

698
00:37:08,867 --> 00:37:11,700
how students behavior has played out at the start

699
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:14,033
of the school year as well as their attendance.

700
00:37:14,066 --> 00:37:15,567
We're focused on B and the A,

701
00:37:15,567 --> 00:37:18,100
and then we're getting our academic baseline data

702
00:37:18,166 --> 00:37:19,734
to begin to set some goals.

703
00:37:21,333 --> 00:37:23,066
And then lastly, step five,

704
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,867
identifying the success criteria for progress made.

705
00:37:26,867 --> 00:37:29,700
So what does it look like when our students attain mastery?

706
00:37:29,900 --> 00:37:31,567
What does it look like when they do well?

707
00:37:32,033 --> 00:37:33,066
What more do we need

708
00:37:33,066 --> 00:37:35,133
to do if they're not meeting our universal goals?

709
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:36,867
And how do we celebrate that?

710
00:37:49,567 --> 00:37:54,000
And then lastly, I want to talk to you about our E-M-L-S-S

711
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:57,500
and that is our work around continuous student success

712
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:59,367
through strategic priorities.

713
00:38:00,133 --> 00:38:03,634
E-M-L-S-S stands for equitable multi-level systems

714
00:38:03,867 --> 00:38:07,734
of support that really speaks to every child every day.

715
00:38:07,867 --> 00:38:10,266
When we say that we're talking about every kid in every

716
00:38:10,266 --> 00:38:13,066
classroom, regardless of their level of performance,

717
00:38:13,066 --> 00:38:14,567
where they're at in their academic journey,

718
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,166
how are we ensuring that we have an instructional match

719
00:38:17,233 --> 00:38:18,266
for each of our scholars?

720
00:38:18,634 --> 00:38:22,467
This pertains to SR two, which is student academic outcomes.

721
00:38:23,233 --> 00:38:26,934
And in particular the last part of SR two states

722
00:38:28,033 --> 00:38:29,567
achieve academic growth

723
00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:32,467
with a focus on improving academic outcomes

724
00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:35,000
for students experiencing significantly

725
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,333
lower grades of success.

726
00:38:38,634 --> 00:38:42,367
And I will provide an illustration of what we mean by that

727
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:44,066
with G-M-L-S-S diamond.

728
00:38:47,767 --> 00:38:49,567
Alright. And if you can't see it, that's okay.

729
00:38:50,033 --> 00:38:53,834
Basically what it shows is the middle part

730
00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:56,033
that's in green is our tier one instruction

731
00:38:56,834 --> 00:38:59,066
and then students that, so that's universal.

732
00:38:59,066 --> 00:39:01,000
That's just, you come to school, you have a great day

733
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:04,266
and then tier two means you come to school,

734
00:39:04,467 --> 00:39:06,734
you have a great day, but you need some additional support.

735
00:39:06,834 --> 00:39:09,300
So how are we targeting the different interventions

736
00:39:09,367 --> 00:39:11,033
that can look like small groups

737
00:39:11,634 --> 00:39:14,467
and having some strategic interventions that are

738
00:39:15,333 --> 00:39:16,934
directly aligned to a skill deficit.

739
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:19,367
And then tier three is the most intensive

740
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:22,734
and that sometimes looks like more individualized support,

741
00:39:23,233 --> 00:39:25,000
more frequent progress monitoring

742
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,533
and deploying some high intensity strategies.

743
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,100
Lastly, the blue column is enrichment.

744
00:39:32,100 --> 00:39:34,367
And so again, we talk often about our tier one, two,

745
00:39:34,367 --> 00:39:36,033
and three, but we also have

746
00:39:36,033 --> 00:39:39,033
to keep in mind we have some soaring scholars in ensuring

747
00:39:39,033 --> 00:39:41,000
that we provide continuous opportunities

748
00:39:41,467 --> 00:39:43,934
for their advanced learning as well, such

749
00:39:43,934 --> 00:39:46,233
as interest based opportunities, leadership, innovation,

750
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:01,300
Stankey,

751
00:40:05,066 --> 00:40:06,066
- Stankey.

752
00:40:06,066 --> 00:40:06,500
So yeah,

753
00:40:11,834 --> 00:40:13,066
do you wanna start any comments

754
00:40:13,066 --> 00:40:15,033
or questions on this section?

755
00:40:18,500 --> 00:40:22,100
No, I'm good. No Stankey for

756
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:29,100
I'm good shutting you off.

757
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:32,100
Stankey,

758
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:34,033
- Thanks for being a part of our committee.

759
00:40:35,867 --> 00:40:40,000
- Questions. Stankey? No, no, no, no. Okay.

760
00:40:40,734 --> 00:40:44,000
Alright Chloe, I have question.

761
00:40:45,233 --> 00:40:48,066
Sorry, did I miss you?

762
00:40:48,066 --> 00:40:52,066
Good, I have Stankey

763
00:40:52,367 --> 00:40:53,367
- And comments.

764
00:40:53,367 --> 00:40:54,834
- First of all, where do you get the graphics?

765
00:40:56,367 --> 00:40:59,000
- Sometimes just ai like Chad gtp,

766
00:40:59,033 --> 00:41:00,467
like the comic book. Yeah,

767
00:41:01,066 --> 00:41:02,867
- That's fun - One.

768
00:41:03,166 --> 00:41:04,934
I'm sorry, but I wanna post that up.

769
00:41:05,634 --> 00:41:08,000
- That is, - I'll share it with you.

770
00:41:08,166 --> 00:41:12,066
- It's, yeah, and I'm really, really,

771
00:41:13,066 --> 00:41:15,634
and I don't know if this way, I feel very, I

772
00:41:16,133 --> 00:41:18,867
on your dial inter off won't,

773
00:41:19,233 --> 00:41:20,867
I think interact. There we go.

774
00:41:21,133 --> 00:41:22,133
- Design of intervention.

775
00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:24,266
I think just looking at

776
00:41:24,266 --> 00:41:26,934
that graphically, it really hits home.

777
00:41:27,033 --> 00:41:29,066
I think some of the challenges that we've consistently heard

778
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:32,100
and that we've brought forth, especially, you know

779
00:41:32,133 --> 00:41:33,300
that the red and yellow,

780
00:41:35,166 --> 00:41:36,166
- Oh, Stankey.

781
00:41:36,166 --> 00:41:37,100
Kurt,

782
00:41:37,667 --> 00:41:38,667
- You're fantastic.

783
00:41:38,667 --> 00:41:42,233
Appreciate you. Yeah, I just, I really am looking at that.

784
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:45,100
I really having a visual, I'm a visual learner.

785
00:41:45,233 --> 00:41:47,467
I was, I mean my undergrad in visual arts,

786
00:41:48,100 --> 00:41:50,233
so I really appreciate seeing that graphic

787
00:41:50,266 --> 00:41:52,300
and how it applies with the goals moving forward

788
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:55,934
because I think that really makes it, it,

789
00:41:56,033 --> 00:41:57,100
it hits home a little more

790
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,567
for me than just seeing words on a page with data,

791
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:02,700
which is good to see, but seeing like how we're going to,

792
00:42:02,900 --> 00:42:04,100
you know, increase the support

793
00:42:04,133 --> 00:42:05,500
and how we're going to balance out with kids

794
00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:07,767
who are also excelling.

795
00:42:08,033 --> 00:42:11,100
I really like seeing that and I really like reading that.

796
00:42:11,100 --> 00:42:12,066
It gave me a little more

797
00:42:12,433 --> 00:42:14,767
understanding of where you're going with that. So Stankey

798
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,133
- Stankey, I have to give credit to Kurt Beck.

799
00:42:17,166 --> 00:42:18,734
Kurt, I don't know if you wanted to say anything

800
00:42:18,734 --> 00:42:19,934
about the back five step process.

801
00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:24,033
He's shaking his head no, but, but that was collaborative

802
00:42:24,033 --> 00:42:26,567
and so we had a conversation and then came up with a visual

803
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:28,767
and so I couldn't have that without her.

804
00:42:28,834 --> 00:42:30,066
So I just wanna give you a shout out

805
00:42:31,667 --> 00:42:35,266
- Know and then I just have to, I'm so excited.

806
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,934
I'm thrilled to see this presentation.

807
00:42:38,467 --> 00:42:40,266
I can't wait to see where this year is gonna go.

808
00:42:40,367 --> 00:42:42,567
I feel like this is something I've been waiting for

809
00:42:42,567 --> 00:42:44,066
for a really long time to see something

810
00:42:44,066 --> 00:42:47,834
that is understandable and targeted at our students

811
00:42:48,033 --> 00:42:51,133
and acknowledging the way that you highlighted a line

812
00:42:51,133 --> 00:42:53,433
that I feel like has drawn a lot

813
00:42:53,433 --> 00:42:55,333
of attention and conversation.

814
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,133
And you purposely said it right out loud,

815
00:42:58,133 --> 00:42:59,100
achieve academic growth

816
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:01,266
with a focus on improving academic outcomes

817
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:03,433
for students experiencing significant

818
00:43:03,533 --> 00:43:04,867
lower rates of success.

819
00:43:06,734 --> 00:43:09,033
That I am just absolutely thrilled

820
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:12,166
and appreciative that you made a point to highlight

821
00:43:12,533 --> 00:43:13,834
that part of our policy.

822
00:43:14,066 --> 00:43:16,333
And all throughout that you were pointing at our policies

823
00:43:16,333 --> 00:43:18,000
and helping us connect the dots between

824
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,066
what you're talking about and

825
00:43:19,066 --> 00:43:20,100
what the board's direction has been.

826
00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:22,066
But that line in particular,

827
00:43:22,066 --> 00:43:25,734
and then on your little graphic, the data drives clarity.

828
00:43:27,066 --> 00:43:31,066
I'm just, yeah, my heart. So I am just, I Stankey so much

829
00:43:31,066 --> 00:43:32,166
for this and I'm super excited

830
00:43:32,166 --> 00:43:34,000
to see where we're going this year. Stankey,

831
00:43:34,066 --> 00:43:35,066
- How's are we?

832
00:43:35,066 --> 00:43:35,767
Thanks.

833
00:43:37,033 --> 00:43:39,066
- Any last comments, questions? No. Okay.

834
00:43:45,166 --> 00:43:47,000
Okay. And we have one more committee.

835
00:43:47,066 --> 00:43:50,000
This is our operations committee. This

836
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,900
- Is 6.04, - Sorry.

837
00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:54,634
- 6.040

838
00:43:54,634 --> 00:43:55,634
- We didn't finish.

839
00:43:55,634 --> 00:43:57,033
Sorry, I thought your presentation was the whole thing.

840
00:43:58,033 --> 00:44:01,000
We have, sorry. So who's doing 6.04?

841
00:44:02,533 --> 00:44:05,266
Barbara you're ready to go. Sorry. Sorry Jennifer.

842
00:44:05,467 --> 00:44:07,133
Okay, so hand it off to you

843
00:44:08,533 --> 00:44:09,533
- Stankey.

844
00:44:09,533 --> 00:44:11,033
Very much. It's a tough act to follow.

845
00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:14,166
I have the opportunity this evening

846
00:44:14,734 --> 00:44:16,634
to bring forward the seclusion

847
00:44:16,634 --> 00:44:19,934
and restraint data information that we are required to share

848
00:44:20,033 --> 00:44:23,433
with our school board annually by October 1st.

849
00:44:24,233 --> 00:44:27,133
So this evening you had a situation report that

850
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:30,900
summarized both the state statute that requires

851
00:44:30,900 --> 00:44:32,634
that this data is shared with you all.

852
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,300
We share it here first

853
00:44:34,500 --> 00:44:35,700
before we share it with the

854
00:44:35,700 --> 00:44:37,033
Department of Public Instruction.

855
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,700
We get to share it with the Department of Public Instruction

856
00:44:39,734 --> 00:44:41,700
by December 1st, every single year.

857
00:44:42,367 --> 00:44:44,133
So DPI has been collecting this data

858
00:44:44,367 --> 00:44:45,834
for the past several years

859
00:44:46,133 --> 00:44:49,033
and they will take all of the information that they collect

860
00:44:49,667 --> 00:44:52,567
on December 1st and they'll put it into a report that'll be

861
00:44:52,567 --> 00:44:56,133
available as our state summary report in on

862
00:44:56,233 --> 00:44:58,300
around April of every school year.

863
00:44:59,133 --> 00:45:00,533
So in this situation report,

864
00:45:00,734 --> 00:45:03,033
I explain both our state statute

865
00:45:03,667 --> 00:45:07,567
and the requirements for reporting as well as the policy

866
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:11,133
and procedure that guide our actions in our district.

867
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,734
And then attached to the situation report is the actual data

868
00:45:15,734 --> 00:45:19,767
report, which requires us to share the data out individually

869
00:45:19,834 --> 00:45:22,700
by each school and specifically related

870
00:45:22,734 --> 00:45:24,667
to the total number of students involved.

871
00:45:24,667 --> 00:45:28,667
And then we have to break down those total numbers into the

872
00:45:28,667 --> 00:45:32,133
number of students with disabilities protected under IDEA

873
00:45:32,333 --> 00:45:35,133
and then the total number of students without disabilities.

874
00:45:36,033 --> 00:45:38,867
We also share our cumulative numbers

875
00:45:39,033 --> 00:45:41,100
for the last five years just so we get a sense

876
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:43,033
of the historical data in our system.

877
00:45:43,734 --> 00:45:47,266
And every year when we meet together, I'll remind us about

878
00:45:48,300 --> 00:45:50,300
it's difficult to make assumptions

879
00:45:50,333 --> 00:45:52,133
or draw connections from the data

880
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,867
that is just shared here with you.

881
00:45:54,433 --> 00:45:56,166
So we have this opportunity to talk

882
00:45:56,300 --> 00:45:59,300
but then also know that the information is collected

883
00:45:59,300 --> 00:46:01,033
and reviewed on a consistent basis

884
00:46:01,767 --> 00:46:03,300
for continuous improvement.

885
00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:05,233
So when we look at these numbers,

886
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,767
what I can tell you all in terms of some of the stories

887
00:46:08,767 --> 00:46:11,767
behind them is that where there are higher numbers,

888
00:46:12,033 --> 00:46:15,300
we are talking actually about a very small number

889
00:46:15,333 --> 00:46:19,500
of students who have very time bound specific periods

890
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:23,433
of time of acute need that result in either seclusion

891
00:46:23,433 --> 00:46:25,734
or restraint being the required response.

892
00:46:27,166 --> 00:46:30,667
And when I say acute need, it might be one student,

893
00:46:31,467 --> 00:46:33,166
multiple situations in a given day,

894
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,033
multiple days in a given month.

895
00:46:35,367 --> 00:46:37,734
But once the acute nature is figured out

896
00:46:37,734 --> 00:46:40,000
what the root cause is and the programming is put in place,

897
00:46:40,066 --> 00:46:41,867
then we don't see it continue.

898
00:46:42,634 --> 00:46:44,934
You might remember if you were here with us last year,

899
00:46:45,033 --> 00:46:48,533
we shared that the data peaks in

900
00:46:49,166 --> 00:46:51,433
first quarter for us typically,

901
00:46:51,533 --> 00:46:53,133
and then again in fourth quarter.

902
00:46:53,934 --> 00:46:56,467
When I look at the data from last school year,

903
00:46:56,467 --> 00:46:58,033
that continues to be the pattern.

904
00:46:59,100 --> 00:47:01,000
The students, however, who were the students

905
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:03,233
that had situations of seclusion

906
00:47:03,233 --> 00:47:06,266
or restraint in first quarter were not the students

907
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:09,734
from last year's data that had situations of seclusion

908
00:47:09,734 --> 00:47:11,867
and restraint at the end of the year at the fourth quarter.

909
00:47:12,266 --> 00:47:15,467
So these were separate again, it very much was the pattern

910
00:47:15,567 --> 00:47:18,900
of acute need stabilization

911
00:47:19,066 --> 00:47:22,233
and then no further need for seclusion or restraint.

912
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:25,100
So let me think.

913
00:47:26,300 --> 00:47:30,266
Also relevant for you all last year when we talked here,

914
00:47:30,634 --> 00:47:33,066
we talked a lot about continuous improvement

915
00:47:33,166 --> 00:47:36,100
and things that we do differently from one year

916
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:40,033
to the next based upon the data, based upon last year's data

917
00:47:40,066 --> 00:47:42,266
and reflection, things that we're doing differently.

918
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,767
Number one, rather than collecting the reports

919
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:51,667
and analyzing the data on a quarterly basis, we're moving

920
00:47:51,700 --> 00:47:54,734
to a monthly review of the data so

921
00:47:54,834 --> 00:47:57,567
that it can have those more intimate conversations.

922
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,500
I'm looking at it from a systems level more frequently

923
00:48:00,900 --> 00:48:02,133
hoping to shrink.

924
00:48:03,033 --> 00:48:05,433
We have no students that went longer than one month

925
00:48:05,433 --> 00:48:07,567
where they were kind of in that acute crisis.

926
00:48:08,700 --> 00:48:11,333
But I'd like to shrink that even more for students,

927
00:48:11,667 --> 00:48:15,266
for staff and for families since every single incident has

928
00:48:15,266 --> 00:48:17,033
an impact both on the student,

929
00:48:17,300 --> 00:48:19,033
the staff, and their families.

930
00:48:19,033 --> 00:48:21,000
Because there are reporting, collaboration

931
00:48:21,033 --> 00:48:23,166
and problem solving responsibilities that go along

932
00:48:23,166 --> 00:48:24,367
with each one of these.

933
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:30,567
So we have more frequent review of the data this year

934
00:48:31,033 --> 00:48:33,333
and immediate expectation for submission

935
00:48:33,333 --> 00:48:35,934
of the reports they have to be sent home anyway within

936
00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:39,100
a time period of the incident.

937
00:48:39,100 --> 00:48:40,100
So you may as well send them

938
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:41,667
to us at district office as well.

939
00:48:41,767 --> 00:48:44,100
More quickly. Additionally,

940
00:48:44,133 --> 00:48:46,133
last year you had asked about the training

941
00:48:46,133 --> 00:48:48,233
and there's a training requirement that goes along

942
00:48:48,233 --> 00:48:50,066
with our seclusion and restraint.

943
00:48:50,300 --> 00:48:53,000
And as Dr. Turner shared with you,

944
00:48:53,300 --> 00:48:57,433
we again this year did our deescalation training

945
00:48:57,567 --> 00:49:00,500
for our staff who might be expected to be in the positions

946
00:49:00,500 --> 00:49:02,266
to make decisions around seclusion

947
00:49:02,266 --> 00:49:03,500
or restraint more frequently.

948
00:49:04,767 --> 00:49:06,900
We at the, during the month of August,

949
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:12,133
we trained 341 returning staff on their re-certifications

950
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,734
for nonviolent crisis intervention.

951
00:49:14,700 --> 00:49:16,634
We trained 30 new staff

952
00:49:16,634 --> 00:49:19,367
to our district on their full day certifications.

953
00:49:20,367 --> 00:49:23,500
We only have four people who've come in since that time

954
00:49:23,533 --> 00:49:25,900
who are currently working with our students who have not

955
00:49:25,934 --> 00:49:28,000
yet gotten that full day of certification.

956
00:49:28,266 --> 00:49:29,700
And we have them set up to do

957
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:31,567
that in our first professional development day.

958
00:49:32,934 --> 00:49:35,333
Additionally, last year you might remember

959
00:49:36,233 --> 00:49:39,100
we talked about a couple of schools that were piloting

960
00:49:39,934 --> 00:49:42,867
the deescalation strategies training

961
00:49:42,867 --> 00:49:44,166
through Nonviolent Crisis

962
00:49:44,300 --> 00:49:48,634
or through the same organization CPI

963
00:49:48,634 --> 00:49:50,900
that does our nonviolent crisis intervention training.

964
00:49:51,834 --> 00:49:54,100
Royal Oaks in particular is one that stands out

965
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:56,934
for the last two years that piloted with all of their staff,

966
00:49:56,934 --> 00:49:58,667
having all of their staff go

967
00:49:58,667 --> 00:50:01,567
through the deescalation training and techniques.

968
00:50:02,233 --> 00:50:04,634
And our social emotional learning steering committee,

969
00:50:04,667 --> 00:50:09,000
which is chaired by Janet Thomas, adopted the deescalation

970
00:50:09,767 --> 00:50:12,066
strategies as universal instructional

971
00:50:12,066 --> 00:50:13,266
strategies for all teachers.

972
00:50:13,567 --> 00:50:16,166
And this year is our first year of implementing that.

973
00:50:16,367 --> 00:50:17,433
So all of our staff

974
00:50:17,433 --> 00:50:20,166
and all of our schools will receive the training on the

975
00:50:20,166 --> 00:50:21,333
deescalation techniques

976
00:50:21,333 --> 00:50:24,700
through Nonviolent Crisis Intervention hand in hand.

977
00:50:24,734 --> 00:50:26,433
That same committee identified

978
00:50:26,734 --> 00:50:30,233
that trauma informed strategies training is necessary

979
00:50:30,333 --> 00:50:31,467
for all of our staff.

980
00:50:31,734 --> 00:50:36,233
So because typically these situations will come out

981
00:50:36,233 --> 00:50:38,300
of the blue and it's typically when students are

982
00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:41,300
experiencing either significant internal dysregulation due

983
00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:44,467
to some level of neurodiversity, medical, mental health

984
00:50:44,834 --> 00:50:46,233
or traumatic experience.

985
00:50:46,867 --> 00:50:49,367
And so in order to help equip our staff with the way

986
00:50:49,433 --> 00:50:52,367
to handle and respond effectively to a traumatic experience,

987
00:50:52,467 --> 00:50:55,000
we're doing universal Trauma

988
00:50:55,667 --> 00:50:58,033
Supportive Strategies training in our December

989
00:50:58,500 --> 00:51:00,066
professional development day for all staff.

990
00:51:00,667 --> 00:51:03,033
So let me pause and think for those, all

991
00:51:03,033 --> 00:51:06,767
of the improvements, timing, the deescalation strategies

992
00:51:06,767 --> 00:51:10,767
for all staff, social emotional learning committee

993
00:51:11,533 --> 00:51:14,000
recommending and adopting the trauma sensitive schools

994
00:51:15,033 --> 00:51:17,934
and increasing, oh, we also are increasing

995
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,533
our universal strategies for all of our staff

996
00:51:22,634 --> 00:51:23,834
in understanding and working

997
00:51:23,834 --> 00:51:25,266
with students with neurodiversity.

998
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,266
Second to speech

999
00:51:28,266 --> 00:51:30,567
and language communication disabilities,

1000
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,467
autism spectrum disorders

1001
00:51:32,467 --> 00:51:34,867
and neurodiversity is our second, is our most,

1002
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,266
our second most popular area

1003
00:51:36,333 --> 00:51:37,567
of impairment across the system.

1004
00:51:38,433 --> 00:51:41,634
Many, many people are in our schools that do not have

1005
00:51:42,133 --> 00:51:45,467
the protections of IEPs who are neurodiverse.

1006
00:51:45,734 --> 00:51:48,000
And the data that we have about neurodiversity

1007
00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:50,567
and IEPs say that that's our second most popular area.

1008
00:51:51,033 --> 00:51:53,367
So all of our staff should have increased training in

1009
00:51:53,367 --> 00:51:55,033
that area of responding to

1010
00:51:55,033 --> 00:51:57,500
and understanding those needs of our students.

1011
00:51:57,934 --> 00:52:00,734
Since again, mental health trauma

1012
00:52:00,934 --> 00:52:05,100
or dysregulation due to neurodiversity experiences tend

1013
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:07,867
to be the root causes of our need

1014
00:52:07,900 --> 00:52:10,066
to utilize seclusion or restraint.

1015
00:52:12,100 --> 00:52:16,000
I'm trying to think. And so with that, we are,

1016
00:52:16,634 --> 00:52:19,467
we've already collected a couple of reports for this year

1017
00:52:20,066 --> 00:52:23,000
knowing that after the report, every single report,

1018
00:52:23,266 --> 00:52:24,734
parent contact is made

1019
00:52:26,433 --> 00:52:29,000
as either a student problem solving team meeting is held

1020
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,934
or an IEP meeting is held if it happens twice for a student

1021
00:52:31,934 --> 00:52:35,834
with an IEPA functional behavioral analysis or assessment

1022
00:52:36,133 --> 00:52:39,367
and then a behavior intervention plan

1023
00:52:39,433 --> 00:52:41,100
to provide appropriate levels of supports

1024
00:52:41,100 --> 00:52:44,066
and services are put in place for the more acute situations.

1025
00:52:44,266 --> 00:52:47,700
It involves pretty significant wraparound from school home

1026
00:52:47,734 --> 00:52:50,033
and community teams and medical teams oftentimes

1027
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,100
to get our plans in place.

1028
00:52:52,567 --> 00:52:54,634
I wouldn't wanna make any other assumptions about

1029
00:52:54,634 --> 00:52:57,934
where these incidents occur just

1030
00:52:57,934 --> 00:52:59,233
because it's so individualized

1031
00:52:59,233 --> 00:53:01,000
to student specific situations.

1032
00:53:01,166 --> 00:53:03,834
And that's the information that I have for you today.

1033
00:53:06,567 --> 00:53:09,100
- Stankey so much. Isaac, do you wanna start?

1034
00:53:09,100 --> 00:53:10,500
Any comments or questions for this?

1035
00:53:13,066 --> 00:53:16,266
- Let me start. Yeah, Stankey, for this presentation

1036
00:53:16,567 --> 00:53:19,767
of the data, I think,

1037
00:53:21,634 --> 00:53:23,100
I guess what stands out to me,

1038
00:53:23,467 --> 00:53:26,934
and like you said, it's hard to make assumptions or to,

1039
00:53:27,033 --> 00:53:28,634
or you don't want to make assumptions

1040
00:53:28,700 --> 00:53:30,867
or make broad statements

1041
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,133
because the number of students

1042
00:53:33,433 --> 00:53:36,066
that this involves is pretty small at each site,

1043
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:39,133
but it just stands out to me that the number seems

1044
00:53:39,133 --> 00:53:43,033
to have increased quite a bit just overall from 24, 25

1045
00:53:43,033 --> 00:53:44,133
to 25, 26.

1046
00:53:44,867 --> 00:53:47,767
So I, I just hope that that trend doesn't continue.

1047
00:53:49,066 --> 00:53:53,834
But I can understand that if it could be very situational,

1048
00:53:54,433 --> 00:53:57,734
especially given that a lot of the incidents seem

1049
00:53:57,734 --> 00:53:59,734
to be pretty centered around like a handful

1050
00:53:59,834 --> 00:54:01,133
of schools and a handful of students.

1051
00:54:02,133 --> 00:54:05,100
But I don't know, can you speak more on that just broadly?

1052
00:54:05,567 --> 00:54:07,233
- I absolutely can. The way

1053
00:54:07,233 --> 00:54:09,467
that I was summarizing it in my own mind was

1054
00:54:09,467 --> 00:54:11,066
that when it comes to seclusion

1055
00:54:11,734 --> 00:54:14,767
and we look at our trend data, we do have

1056
00:54:15,166 --> 00:54:18,100
more student more incidents from last year

1057
00:54:18,100 --> 00:54:21,233
that were documented and we also have more students

1058
00:54:21,266 --> 00:54:25,100
that were involved that experienced seclusion when it came

1059
00:54:25,100 --> 00:54:28,700
to restraint, we had more incidents documented,

1060
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:32,500
but we also had approximately the same number of students

1061
00:54:32,900 --> 00:54:34,567
who were involved in those incidents

1062
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:40,033
when we looked were deeply so, oh,

1063
00:54:40,100 --> 00:54:41,300
I'll just pause right there.

1064
00:54:41,867 --> 00:54:44,066
We also took a look at the total number

1065
00:54:44,066 --> 00:54:46,734
of students in our population that are experiencing

1066
00:54:48,634 --> 00:54:51,000
incidents of seclusion and incidents of restraint.

1067
00:54:51,333 --> 00:54:54,500
And when we think of total population in both situations,

1068
00:54:54,634 --> 00:54:58,700
we are still well under 1% of our total population

1069
00:54:58,700 --> 00:55:01,700
of our students experience an incident of seclusion

1070
00:55:01,700 --> 00:55:03,567
or restraint when it comes to our students

1071
00:55:03,567 --> 00:55:06,133
with disabilities, it's a little bit higher, it's

1072
00:55:06,133 --> 00:55:09,367
around 3% in the area of seclusion

1073
00:55:09,433 --> 00:55:12,300
and my brain is questioning myself 3% in the area

1074
00:55:12,367 --> 00:55:16,533
of seclusion and about 1% of our students

1075
00:55:16,533 --> 00:55:20,834
with disabilities experience a situation of restraint.

1076
00:55:21,133 --> 00:55:23,500
So we also look at how that compares

1077
00:55:25,033 --> 00:55:26,467
with our statewide trends.

1078
00:55:26,467 --> 00:55:28,266
While I don't have last year's data

1079
00:55:28,433 --> 00:55:30,066
yet from a statewide perspective,

1080
00:55:30,500 --> 00:55:33,100
I can look at the 24 25 data

1081
00:55:33,867 --> 00:55:38,500
and we are commensurate

1082
00:55:38,667 --> 00:55:41,567
or slightly below state data in both of those areas.

1083
00:55:41,734 --> 00:55:44,367
So those are some factors that we think about like

1084
00:55:46,867 --> 00:55:49,700
in terms of trying to make meaning out

1085
00:55:49,700 --> 00:55:51,033
of any trends or patterns.

1086
00:55:51,433 --> 00:55:52,567
But in all honesty,

1087
00:55:52,934 --> 00:55:55,066
we're spending much more time on individual student

1088
00:55:55,166 --> 00:55:58,033
and context situations when we're looking at it more

1089
00:55:59,767 --> 00:56:02,100
immediately on that quarterly or monthly basis.

1090
00:56:04,300 --> 00:56:04,867
- Stankey.

1091
00:56:09,567 --> 00:56:11,634
- So it's interesting 'cause I actually had kind

1092
00:56:11,634 --> 00:56:15,066
of the opposite thought is not that I want

1093
00:56:15,066 --> 00:56:18,133
to see higher numbers, but I appreciate seeing numbers

1094
00:56:18,133 --> 00:56:19,634
because we know that it happens

1095
00:56:20,133 --> 00:56:23,000
and I'd rather see that we're accurately recording it

1096
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,734
and accurately reporting what's happening.

1097
00:56:26,367 --> 00:56:29,066
So obviously I don't wanna see more numbers,

1098
00:56:29,033 --> 00:56:31,033
but I appreciate that the numbers are there

1099
00:56:31,033 --> 00:56:32,734
because we know that it happens.

1100
00:56:35,266 --> 00:56:36,900
So it'd be great for it to go down.

1101
00:56:36,900 --> 00:56:41,333
But I also like realistically I want the truth,

1102
00:56:41,533 --> 00:56:44,767
you know, that sentiment was what motivated us to think

1103
00:56:44,767 --> 00:56:46,033
that it makes more sense

1104
00:56:46,100 --> 00:56:48,100
to review it more on a monthly basis

1105
00:56:48,033 --> 00:56:49,300
so we can be more responsive

1106
00:56:49,300 --> 00:56:51,767
to the individual student needs while also trying

1107
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:55,900
to pay attention to numbers.

1108
00:56:56,300 --> 00:56:57,367
But you're right, we don't,

1109
00:56:57,700 --> 00:56:59,900
I know we talked about this last year, we don't want

1110
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:02,500
to dissuade anybody from reporting a situation.

1111
00:57:02,734 --> 00:57:07,100
Yeah. And then I just also just wanna say it's great to hear

1112
00:57:07,867 --> 00:57:11,266
the monthly review and the trauma-informed stuff

1113
00:57:11,333 --> 00:57:15,100
and with royal folks having all their staff getting

1114
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,100
that training and then that's gonna

1115
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:17,266
go through all the schools.

1116
00:57:17,700 --> 00:57:21,433
I, I'll be really excited to hear how that's received

1117
00:57:21,500 --> 00:57:24,734
and like how impactful that is for educators

1118
00:57:24,867 --> 00:57:26,333
and and the system.

1119
00:57:26,567 --> 00:57:29,333
But just how people feel that goes

1120
00:57:29,333 --> 00:57:31,066
after after it gets going.

1121
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Stankey,

1122
00:57:36,867 --> 00:57:39,166
- I think this is just a curiosity of like

1123
00:57:39,233 --> 00:57:41,100
what does DPI do with the data?

1124
00:57:43,467 --> 00:57:47,333
- So I can send you the link to the lesson information.

1125
00:57:48,133 --> 00:57:51,700
It's so I actually, oh please put

1126
00:57:52,734 --> 00:57:55,100
it put together seclusion

1127
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,166
and restraint in public schools

1128
00:57:58,266 --> 00:58:00,500
data report for the school year.

1129
00:58:00,500 --> 00:58:02,033
So the most recent one that's out there is

1130
00:58:02,033 --> 00:58:03,867
for the 24 25 school year.

1131
00:58:04,367 --> 00:58:07,567
It begins with a really quick flyover about the data

1132
00:58:07,634 --> 00:58:09,100
and it just speaks at a very high level

1133
00:58:09,100 --> 00:58:12,000
and gives an overview simply reporting the numbers,

1134
00:58:12,700 --> 00:58:15,433
very little interpretation it.

1135
00:58:15,767 --> 00:58:18,700
They create a map of kind of like a heat map of

1136
00:58:18,867 --> 00:58:21,000
where is it showing up throughout the different

1137
00:58:21,066 --> 00:58:22,433
CSAs across our state.

1138
00:58:24,300 --> 00:58:27,100
Then they do a level of trends per 1000 students

1139
00:58:27,100 --> 00:58:28,834
that are enrolled in a district.

1140
00:58:30,867 --> 00:58:35,467
They also then have a visual map that shows the number

1141
00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:39,634
of incidents over the last, since 20 19, 20 20.

1142
00:58:40,033 --> 00:58:43,333
And it's interesting, it's a similar saw tooth pattern

1143
00:58:43,467 --> 00:58:44,700
that we have in our data.

1144
00:58:44,934 --> 00:58:46,667
I'm making no connections to that other than

1145
00:58:47,734 --> 00:58:48,934
I think it's just interesting.

1146
00:58:51,133 --> 00:58:54,700
They talk about, let me look really quickly again,

1147
00:58:54,700 --> 00:58:57,467
showing percent, just like we have our historical data over

1148
00:58:57,467 --> 00:59:00,066
time, they present it that same way students

1149
00:59:00,066 --> 00:59:02,133
with disabilities and without disabilities,

1150
00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:04,233
they break it down by elementary.

1151
00:59:04,233 --> 00:59:06,066
Where is it happening? Most elementary, middle

1152
00:59:06,066 --> 00:59:10,166
or high school, similar patterns for ours.

1153
00:59:12,033 --> 00:59:14,367
They speculate on factors that may contribute

1154
00:59:14,834 --> 00:59:16,934
but they also give conclusions like they,

1155
00:59:17,166 --> 00:59:18,734
it's a very short paragraph

1156
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,767
and it essentially is like there are many factors

1157
00:59:21,834 --> 00:59:24,066
that play into it and at the state level we can't make

1158
00:59:24,066 --> 00:59:25,467
assumptions about what those are.

1159
00:59:25,734 --> 00:59:26,867
And then there are conclusions

1160
00:59:26,867 --> 00:59:28,133
and recommendations for schools

1161
00:59:29,066 --> 00:59:30,734
and then they summarize the resources

1162
00:59:30,734 --> 00:59:32,533
and practices that support the prevention

1163
00:59:32,533 --> 00:59:33,767
of seclusion and restraint.

1164
00:59:34,233 --> 00:59:36,300
And this can all be found on the DPI's website,

1165
00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:38,000
on their seclusion and restraint page.

1166
00:59:39,266 --> 00:59:41,834
- Thanks Jennifer. They don't use it for punitive,

1167
00:59:42,066 --> 00:59:45,033
it's just an informational like I Yeah

1168
00:59:45,367 --> 00:59:46,567
'cause I know sometimes data

1169
00:59:46,567 --> 00:59:48,834
that gets collected can sometimes turn

1170
00:59:48,834 --> 00:59:50,066
into a punitive effect. Yeah,

1171
00:59:50,533 --> 00:59:53,233
- They are monitoring incident rates in certain schools

1172
00:59:53,266 --> 00:59:56,533
and districts that are higher per, we're trying

1173
00:59:56,533 --> 00:59:59,867
to figure out the calculation is we're applying,

1174
01:00:00,166 --> 01:00:04,500
we've applied their statewide calculation to a site specific

1175
01:00:05,634 --> 01:00:09,033
proportion and they'll sometimes say you have a increased

1176
01:00:09,033 --> 01:00:11,367
amount at your school or that's a concerning amount

1177
01:00:11,467 --> 01:00:14,033
and what are your continuous improvement steps?

1178
01:00:14,233 --> 01:00:18,233
And that's really, we, it's very easy to answer those,

1179
01:00:18,367 --> 01:00:20,367
those questions and have those plans for us.

1180
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,767
I don't mean to sound cavalier, just what I was trying

1181
01:00:23,767 --> 01:00:26,066
to say by that is that it's so important for us

1182
01:00:26,066 --> 01:00:28,000
to CONTINENTAL work to improve our data

1183
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,333
and our practices in this area

1184
01:00:29,734 --> 01:00:31,767
that when asked those questions we can answer them.

1185
01:00:33,567 --> 01:00:35,100
- Thanks John. I appreciate it.

1186
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:39,000
- I don't have any questions. - Hi.

1187
01:00:40,100 --> 01:00:44,100
I appreciate how prepared you were just in,

1188
01:00:44,734 --> 01:00:45,834
not just having the data

1189
01:00:46,133 --> 01:00:48,734
but your whole explanation of everything.

1190
01:00:48,867 --> 01:00:51,066
I feel like that answered a lot of questions that I think

1191
01:00:51,100 --> 01:00:53,000
for you were probably asking last year.

1192
01:00:53,033 --> 01:00:55,000
So I appreciate that.

1193
01:00:57,033 --> 01:00:59,133
And I also appreciate that

1194
01:01:00,467 --> 01:01:03,300
all staff are getting trained on deescalation

1195
01:01:03,433 --> 01:01:05,767
and trauma sensitivity training

1196
01:01:07,266 --> 01:01:10,100
because I do think that's so important.

1197
01:01:10,333 --> 01:01:15,300
And I just want to say that I appreciate all of our staff

1198
01:01:15,433 --> 01:01:16,533
and our teachers

1199
01:01:16,567 --> 01:01:20,000
and everybody that's in our buildings working

1200
01:01:20,033 --> 01:01:21,066
with our kids every day.

1201
01:01:21,166 --> 01:01:25,133
So I appreciate our continuous improvement

1202
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:28,734
and I also appreciate our educators for doing the work.

1203
01:01:30,533 --> 01:01:31,533
Same.

1204
01:01:33,567 --> 01:01:37,500
- No questions. - No

1205
01:01:37,700 --> 01:01:38,700
- Questions.

1206
01:01:38,700 --> 01:01:38,934
Stankey for,

1207
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:44,500
- I have questions.

1208
01:01:44,700 --> 01:01:47,000
Jennifer, can you remind me what school buildings have had

1209
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:48,634
the, the training so far?

1210
01:01:50,934 --> 01:01:55,266
So when it comes to our core staff that have the full

1211
01:01:55,667 --> 01:01:59,000
and have to maintain the full nonviolent crisis intervention

1212
01:01:59,100 --> 01:02:01,934
training, all of our staff who have to have that have

1213
01:02:02,467 --> 01:02:04,100
received that training during the month of August.

1214
01:02:04,834 --> 01:02:07,100
So we offered a variety of different opportunities

1215
01:02:08,066 --> 01:02:09,233
during welcome back week,

1216
01:02:09,233 --> 01:02:12,467
but then working it all the way back up to SP Academy

1217
01:02:12,567 --> 01:02:13,767
for Leadership Collaborative.

1218
01:02:13,867 --> 01:02:16,066
So lots of different opportunities for people

1219
01:02:16,066 --> 01:02:18,066
to have the training in terms

1220
01:02:18,133 --> 01:02:20,867
of which sites have already completed the

1221
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:22,533
deescalation training.

1222
01:02:22,834 --> 01:02:23,834
You know what Colleen? I,

1223
01:02:24,066 --> 01:02:25,266
I don't know that off the top of my head.

1224
01:02:25,266 --> 01:02:27,734
Okay, I'll need to get that and get that back to you. Okay.

1225
01:02:27,734 --> 01:02:29,266
Yeah, sorry, I was trying to focus on,

1226
01:02:29,333 --> 01:02:30,700
I had multiple thoughts going through my head.

1227
01:02:30,700 --> 01:02:32,367
Yeah, questions when you were saying that And I caught a few

1228
01:02:32,367 --> 01:02:35,066
of the schools and not all the schools I,

1229
01:02:35,100 --> 01:02:37,734
I was just looking at just a couple handful.

1230
01:02:38,066 --> 01:02:41,033
I was, you know when I was, look,

1231
01:02:41,133 --> 01:02:42,734
oh my gosh, my screen's Enger.

1232
01:02:44,100 --> 01:02:47,033
Looking at some of the notes I took last year when we talked

1233
01:02:47,033 --> 01:02:48,333
about this compared to some

1234
01:02:48,333 --> 01:02:50,734
of the notes I've taken this year looking at the data,

1235
01:02:51,133 --> 01:02:52,266
and I'm gonna reiterate some

1236
01:02:52,266 --> 01:02:54,000
of the concerns I reiterated last year too.

1237
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,934
Some of the disparities amongst the schools

1238
01:02:58,266 --> 01:03:00,066
overlooks is not one that has a ton of stuff.

1239
01:03:00,066 --> 01:03:02,100
But looking at the schools that highlighted last year

1240
01:03:02,100 --> 01:03:04,300
that had some of the higher incidences, several

1241
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:06,000
of them are once again this year

1242
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:07,367
that still has those higher incidences.

1243
01:03:07,834 --> 01:03:10,000
If you look at Byrd, Creekside, Eastside, Meadowview,

1244
01:03:10,634 --> 01:03:13,734
those schools by far dwarf the amount of seclusion

1245
01:03:13,734 --> 01:03:15,533
or restraints compared to the other elementary schools.

1246
01:03:15,900 --> 01:03:19,266
Central Heights, Prairie View, Patrick Marsh has nothing

1247
01:03:20,934 --> 01:03:22,467
again that that concerns me.

1248
01:03:22,467 --> 01:03:25,333
That we have only a select number of our buildings

1249
01:03:25,367 --> 01:03:27,367
and unfortunately some of those buildings, our buildings

1250
01:03:27,367 --> 01:03:28,500
where we had parents come in

1251
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:31,033
and emails about behavior concerns in the classroom.

1252
01:03:31,433 --> 01:03:34,033
And I would like to see some of this, some

1253
01:03:34,033 --> 01:03:36,033
of our training focus on those schools

1254
01:03:36,033 --> 01:03:37,233
that have the higher numbers.

1255
01:03:38,066 --> 01:03:40,266
'cause yes, I understand you said it's less than 1%

1256
01:03:40,266 --> 01:03:44,500
of our students, but I'm also thinking just from my own

1257
01:03:44,734 --> 01:03:47,066
personal experience and from the parents I've spoken with

1258
01:03:48,734 --> 01:03:51,367
the behavior that leads to the seclusion and restraint.

1259
01:03:52,367 --> 01:03:55,033
Sometimes yes, it's maybe one

1260
01:03:55,033 --> 01:03:56,467
or two kids involved in the incident,

1261
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,266
but there's other kids around in classrooms

1262
01:03:59,266 --> 01:04:01,533
who witness this behavior that are also impacted.

1263
01:04:02,233 --> 01:04:05,767
And when I look at these buildings that are impacted, some

1264
01:04:05,767 --> 01:04:08,066
of them are also some of our lower performing buildings.

1265
01:04:08,433 --> 01:04:11,767
And then I have to wonder if yes, it's that 1%,

1266
01:04:11,834 --> 01:04:14,634
it may be a handful of the same kids every year,

1267
01:04:15,133 --> 01:04:17,367
but when they're having that behavior that leads

1268
01:04:17,367 --> 01:04:19,266
to the seclusion restraint, how is

1269
01:04:19,266 --> 01:04:20,934
that impacting their peers?

1270
01:04:21,100 --> 01:04:22,300
How is that impacting their classroom

1271
01:04:22,300 --> 01:04:24,533
and how is that impacting the curriculum

1272
01:04:24,634 --> 01:04:27,467
and how, how that's being perceived in the classroom.

1273
01:04:28,066 --> 01:04:29,934
And I worry that when you look at some

1274
01:04:29,934 --> 01:04:32,066
of our higher performing, especially elementary buildings

1275
01:04:32,166 --> 01:04:35,767
that have by far less their numbers on this,

1276
01:04:36,033 --> 01:04:37,367
where's the disparity on that?

1277
01:04:37,367 --> 01:04:41,033
Or I mean kids who are, I mean parents don't always,

1278
01:04:41,133 --> 01:04:42,367
we don't have the ability to choose

1279
01:04:42,367 --> 01:04:44,000
what elementary building our kids go to.

1280
01:04:44,066 --> 01:04:45,100
It's based on where you live.

1281
01:04:46,100 --> 01:04:49,500
And I hate to see some of our kids who are dealing with some

1282
01:04:49,500 --> 01:04:51,734
of this behavior issues, whether it's from their peer

1283
01:04:51,734 --> 01:04:53,500
or themselves be in the building.

1284
01:04:53,767 --> 01:04:55,100
'cause that's the building they were assigned

1285
01:04:55,100 --> 01:04:58,133
by our district and there were sacrifices, some

1286
01:04:58,133 --> 01:05:00,634
of their educational opportunities compared

1287
01:05:00,634 --> 01:05:02,066
to their peers on the other side of town.

1288
01:05:02,467 --> 01:05:04,300
And I know that's something I had discussed last time

1289
01:05:04,734 --> 01:05:06,000
and then we went into school

1290
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:07,033
attendance boundaries after that.

1291
01:05:07,033 --> 01:05:08,066
And we won't get into that today.

1292
01:05:08,100 --> 01:05:10,533
But I just want to reiterate some of my concerns.

1293
01:05:10,567 --> 01:05:14,000
And I would really like us to start having a more focus on

1294
01:05:14,900 --> 01:05:18,033
entire staff wide training on this at those schools,

1295
01:05:18,033 --> 01:05:20,533
especially at the elementary level, middle school level

1296
01:05:21,033 --> 01:05:23,000
that have consistently high numbers.

1297
01:05:24,033 --> 01:05:25,100
'cause it's the same, it's some

1298
01:05:25,100 --> 01:05:27,066
of the same elementaries year after year.

1299
01:05:27,734 --> 01:05:30,233
I will say, I did call it last year West had a lot higher

1300
01:05:30,233 --> 01:05:34,567
than East and right now they're kind of even so, not

1301
01:05:34,567 --> 01:05:35,734
that you don't wanna see it even out,

1302
01:05:35,734 --> 01:05:37,066
but hey it is balancing more.

1303
01:05:37,367 --> 01:05:40,000
But I, I still see some of the disparities at the elementary

1304
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,066
and middle school level and that still has me concerned.

1305
01:05:43,433 --> 01:05:44,767
Yeah, absolutely heard.

1306
01:05:44,767 --> 01:05:46,700
And those, exactly, those wonderings

1307
01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:48,934
and those things that you're raising are the conversations

1308
01:05:48,934 --> 01:05:50,333
that happen as we're taking a look at the data,

1309
01:05:50,500 --> 01:05:52,734
which is why we're looking at the data more frequently

1310
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:54,834
going into this year.

1311
01:05:55,333 --> 01:05:58,133
I do though it's natural to wonder about

1312
01:05:58,500 --> 01:06:00,834
and to make causal relationships

1313
01:06:00,867 --> 01:06:02,867
or correlational relationships to the data

1314
01:06:03,567 --> 01:06:06,233
and knowing I wanna, I want

1315
01:06:06,233 --> 01:06:08,834
to exercise caution in drawing assumptions

1316
01:06:08,867 --> 01:06:10,767
or conclusions that certain

1317
01:06:12,767 --> 01:06:15,000
that data incidents mean certain things

1318
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:16,066
in certain buildings.

1319
01:06:16,467 --> 01:06:17,934
I just wanna be careful about that

1320
01:06:18,367 --> 01:06:21,734
because the reasons for higher numbers when when you really

1321
01:06:21,734 --> 01:06:25,767
look at it, it's super, super student specific.

1322
01:06:25,867 --> 01:06:27,934
And also we think we look at environment and grade.

1323
01:06:28,133 --> 01:06:30,500
So we, we are looking at that information

1324
01:06:30,533 --> 01:06:32,467
because we have those same concerns.

1325
01:06:32,500 --> 01:06:36,300
So I do, I want, I do want to tell you that. Okay.

1326
01:06:37,333 --> 01:06:39,033
Stankey, you bet.

1327
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,367
- Question. - Hi.

1328
01:06:44,533 --> 01:06:46,467
I just wanna answer your question really quickly about the

1329
01:06:46,467 --> 01:06:48,867
schools that have completed the deescalation so far

1330
01:06:48,900 --> 01:06:50,100
so we don't have to get back to you.

1331
01:06:50,433 --> 01:06:54,066
So we gave, as Jennifer said, the SEL committee decided

1332
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:57,066
that the deescalation strategies portion

1333
01:06:57,233 --> 01:07:00,934
of the nonviolent crisis intervention was to be delivered

1334
01:07:00,934 --> 01:07:02,000
to all staff.

1335
01:07:02,266 --> 01:07:06,500
So teachers, instructional assistants, sess, everybody.

1336
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:10,867
We gave schools for the entire first quarter to complete

1337
01:07:10,867 --> 01:07:12,066
that training module.

1338
01:07:12,700 --> 01:07:15,100
So, so far some schools opted to do that

1339
01:07:15,100 --> 01:07:16,100
during welcome back week

1340
01:07:16,100 --> 01:07:19,066
or during one of their first staff meetings so far,

1341
01:07:19,066 --> 01:07:23,333
Royal Oaks Token Springs, Creekside Westside, some

1342
01:07:23,333 --> 01:07:24,500
of the staff at Westside

1343
01:07:25,233 --> 01:07:27,767
and then Prairie View, central Heights

1344
01:07:27,767 --> 01:07:29,533
and East have completed it already.

1345
01:07:30,033 --> 01:07:33,266
And we gave them the entirety of first, first quarter so

1346
01:07:33,266 --> 01:07:36,233
that they could fit it within department meetings at the

1347
01:07:36,233 --> 01:07:39,066
high school for example, or staff meetings.

1348
01:07:39,166 --> 01:07:42,266
So we're, we're well on our way. Good. That's good to hear.

1349
01:07:42,266 --> 01:07:43,567
Stankey, that's good to hear that some of those,

1350
01:07:43,567 --> 01:07:46,266
you named off our ones that have higher instances,

1351
01:07:46,333 --> 01:07:47,533
so it's good to see that there

1352
01:07:48,333 --> 01:07:51,000
awareness can always help at a larger scale.

1353
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:54,266
Stankey. Thanks Jen.

1354
01:07:56,567 --> 01:07:58,533
- All right. Hello again. - Hello again.

1355
01:07:58,533 --> 01:08:00,100
- So I sent my questions in advance

1356
01:08:00,367 --> 01:08:02,266
and I really appreciate Jennifer

1357
01:08:02,433 --> 01:08:06,100
and Dr. Turner, you meeting with me today to walk

1358
01:08:06,100 --> 01:08:09,000
through a lot of this data, got to hear a lot of

1359
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,500
what we've all just heard and had a lot

1360
01:08:10,500 --> 01:08:12,767
of similar questions, so it was

1361
01:08:12,767 --> 01:08:14,033
really valuable to meet with you.

1362
01:08:16,100 --> 01:08:19,033
Yeah. Including, we talked specifically about Creekside

1363
01:08:19,066 --> 01:08:20,700
Bird, what things look like there.

1364
01:08:20,700 --> 01:08:23,000
Appreciated you talking about some of the patterns

1365
01:08:23,667 --> 01:08:26,100
around the data, particularly first quarter, fourth quarter,

1366
01:08:26,133 --> 01:08:29,867
and it being separate kids causing kind of that,

1367
01:08:29,867 --> 01:08:31,567
that sawtooth pattern as you called it.

1368
01:08:32,266 --> 01:08:36,033
And really appreciate that coming out of last year.

1369
01:08:36,033 --> 01:08:37,767
And then looking at the numbers that we have

1370
01:08:37,867 --> 01:08:41,533
for this past year, we named the improvements for 26 27

1371
01:08:41,533 --> 01:08:44,033
that I think will really help address that,

1372
01:08:44,033 --> 01:08:45,834
including more frequently monitoring the data,

1373
01:08:45,934 --> 01:08:48,467
the expanded training, which I know is a big topic last year

1374
01:08:49,033 --> 01:08:51,567
and also appreciate that it's hard

1375
01:08:51,567 --> 01:08:53,000
to draw conclusions from small numbers

1376
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,333
while also understanding it does even those one-off events,

1377
01:08:57,433 --> 01:09:00,066
it has a, a big impact on the classroom environment.

1378
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,767
I know I said I was gonna ask about this.

1379
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,367
Do we track classroom evacuation at a,

1380
01:09:09,133 --> 01:09:10,500
in a centralized manner

1381
01:09:10,634 --> 01:09:14,233
or how, how do we measure classroom evacuation in

1382
01:09:14,233 --> 01:09:16,100
that tier of escalations?

1383
01:09:16,867 --> 01:09:19,533
- I wonder how this conversation will look like next year

1384
01:09:19,533 --> 01:09:22,333
knowing that some of the improvements that we put in place

1385
01:09:22,634 --> 01:09:25,000
for this year were based on the conversations

1386
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,700
that we had here at this time last year.

1387
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,100
So we do not centrally document

1388
01:09:30,367 --> 01:09:32,734
or track classroom evacuations

1389
01:09:33,033 --> 01:09:35,133
and I would need to collect more information from our

1390
01:09:35,133 --> 01:09:38,867
principals about how they're utilizing classroom evacuation

1391
01:09:39,500 --> 01:09:41,467
data to inform their,

1392
01:09:43,567 --> 01:09:46,867
to inform their problem solving meetings at grade level PLCs

1393
01:09:47,100 --> 01:09:48,567
and throughout their buildings.

1394
01:09:48,667 --> 01:09:52,100
So that was my big takeaway from our conversation earlier

1395
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,266
and I'm glad that I know you

1396
01:09:53,266 --> 01:09:54,300
were gonna bring it up here today.

1397
01:09:54,300 --> 01:09:56,233
So I'm glad that you did 'cause I think that's a good thing

1398
01:09:56,233 --> 01:09:59,133
for us to talk about and I believe you were really,

1399
01:10:00,266 --> 01:10:02,133
I think you're asking that because we're wondering if

1400
01:10:02,133 --> 01:10:05,700
classroom evacuations become like a precursor Yes too,

1401
01:10:05,934 --> 01:10:08,834
or foreshadowing for us about situations

1402
01:10:08,834 --> 01:10:09,867
that might happen down the road.

1403
01:10:09,934 --> 01:10:12,066
And I think it's a valid test for us to look into.

1404
01:10:12,500 --> 01:10:16,133
- Awesome. This one, I, I have a couple that I thought of

1405
01:10:16,367 --> 01:10:18,266
during the circle, so no pressure.

1406
01:10:21,066 --> 01:10:24,066
Is there anything we can learn from peer districts in the

1407
01:10:24,066 --> 01:10:25,066
area in terms of

1408
01:10:25,500 --> 01:10:28,233
how they utilize alternative learning environments

1409
01:10:28,934 --> 01:10:30,767
or how they structure their special

1410
01:10:30,767 --> 01:10:32,266
education supports and services?

1411
01:10:32,367 --> 01:10:34,266
Are there any districts around us that you're like,

1412
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:36,500
I really like how they do this.

1413
01:10:36,867 --> 01:10:38,767
I want us to move that direction.

1414
01:10:42,066 --> 01:10:45,000
- I, I think I would need to learn more about your question.

1415
01:10:45,133 --> 01:10:48,100
Okay. What I can tell you though is that we do a high degree

1416
01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:50,367
of collaboration among the county

1417
01:10:50,634 --> 01:10:53,500
but then also looking at state I looking at statewide data

1418
01:10:53,667 --> 01:10:54,734
and our comparisons.

1419
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:56,266
But yeah,

1420
01:10:56,367 --> 01:10:59,066
I would wanna know a little bit more about what's behind the question.

1421
01:10:59,567 --> 01:11:00,567
Okay.

1422
01:11:01,066 --> 01:11:04,467
- Probably specifically, where do we sit with

1423
01:11:05,166 --> 01:11:07,000
alternative learning environments?

1424
01:11:08,033 --> 01:11:10,467
I'm looking at, Madison is probably the one I think of

1425
01:11:10,834 --> 01:11:12,100
as our closest peer.

1426
01:11:13,100 --> 01:11:15,033
And I don't know, I don't know quite what our,

1427
01:11:16,133 --> 01:11:17,266
what our policy is

1428
01:11:17,266 --> 01:11:21,100
or how we incorporate those into the tools

1429
01:11:21,100 --> 01:11:22,300
that we have right now.

1430
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,300
- I don't want to commit to speaking to something

1431
01:11:28,300 --> 01:11:29,567
that another system offers

1432
01:11:29,567 --> 01:11:31,066
because I might say it inappropriately.

1433
01:11:31,266 --> 01:11:34,734
But what I do want, what I can tell you is that one

1434
01:11:34,734 --> 01:11:37,100
of the things that we are really looking at within our own

1435
01:11:37,033 --> 01:11:40,734
system is that sometimes the most effective.

1436
01:11:42,100 --> 01:11:44,033
So it's a balance. It's a balance of the law.

1437
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,266
So we are always thinking about what a students

1438
01:11:47,567 --> 01:11:50,133
and this conversation you've asked specifically

1439
01:11:50,333 --> 01:11:51,767
about students with disabilities.

1440
01:11:51,867 --> 01:11:53,033
So I wanna be really narrow.

1441
01:11:54,100 --> 01:11:56,000
When we think about students with disabilities,

1442
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,634
we are obligated to consistently ask

1443
01:11:58,667 --> 01:12:00,867
what is their least restrictive environment?

1444
01:12:00,867 --> 01:12:03,066
Because we're obligated to make sure that our students

1445
01:12:03,066 --> 01:12:05,634
with disabilities are making progress in their

1446
01:12:05,667 --> 01:12:06,767
grade level standards.

1447
01:12:08,133 --> 01:12:10,934
They're making progress towards their IEP goals,

1448
01:12:10,934 --> 01:12:14,100
which are calculated to meet their disability related needs.

1449
01:12:16,333 --> 01:12:18,133
And they're supposed to be doing

1450
01:12:18,133 --> 01:12:20,834
that in the least restrictive environment possible

1451
01:12:20,834 --> 01:12:22,266
because the research shows

1452
01:12:22,266 --> 01:12:24,066
that the closer a student is educated

1453
01:12:24,233 --> 01:12:27,066
to the experts in education, the better they do.

1454
01:12:28,834 --> 01:12:31,634
We are working very hard within our own system to remember

1455
01:12:31,667 --> 01:12:34,767
that least restrictive environment isn't a dichotomy.

1456
01:12:34,934 --> 01:12:38,700
It doesn't mean 100% in 100% out.

1457
01:12:39,033 --> 01:12:42,867
And the magic and the power is in having those conversations

1458
01:12:42,900 --> 01:12:46,533
at the individualized IEP team meetings where we talk about

1459
01:12:47,033 --> 01:12:51,000
these disability related needs, these specific IEP goals,

1460
01:12:51,667 --> 01:12:53,333
especially designed instruction.

1461
01:12:54,834 --> 01:12:57,000
What is the specially designed instruction?

1462
01:12:57,233 --> 01:12:59,333
How much is it and where should it be

1463
01:12:59,634 --> 01:13:03,066
provided those, that's where we're really working in.

1464
01:13:03,066 --> 01:13:04,834
That's been our beginning of the year learning

1465
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,634
as our entire student services leadership team

1466
01:13:07,667 --> 01:13:09,934
and all of our cross gat teachers

1467
01:13:09,934 --> 01:13:11,634
and our leaders about really

1468
01:13:11,934 --> 01:13:13,467
how critically are we thinking about

1469
01:13:14,333 --> 01:13:15,700
answering those questions.

1470
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,867
And it's not a dichotomy, it's not an all in,

1471
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,634
it's not an all out and it isn't a forever.

1472
01:13:22,266 --> 01:13:24,500
It's a very, it's most effective when

1473
01:13:24,500 --> 01:13:25,634
it's a very sliding scale.

1474
01:13:25,867 --> 01:13:28,867
When we get rigid, we wind up getting stuck

1475
01:13:29,166 --> 01:13:31,333
and having things go on potentially

1476
01:13:31,500 --> 01:13:34,100
for too long in potentially negative ways.

1477
01:13:34,667 --> 01:13:37,066
Meaning a student could be in an environment

1478
01:13:37,066 --> 01:13:38,100
that is both harmful to their

1479
01:13:38,467 --> 01:13:39,533
progress and to the progress of others.

1480
01:13:39,700 --> 01:13:42,934
Or they could be in an environment that is harmful

1481
01:13:43,100 --> 01:13:45,367
to their progress 'cause they're not accessing the excellent

1482
01:13:45,700 --> 01:13:48,066
teaching but they're staying away from everybody

1483
01:13:48,066 --> 01:13:49,133
and everybody's staying away from them.

1484
01:13:49,166 --> 01:13:50,700
But we're really not growing

1485
01:13:50,834 --> 01:13:53,333
and learning everybody's comfortable

1486
01:13:53,500 --> 01:13:55,000
but we're not stretching, growing and learning.

1487
01:13:55,367 --> 01:13:59,266
So I think I'll stop my, I could,

1488
01:13:59,567 --> 01:14:02,033
I could have this conversation for a really long time.

1489
01:14:02,266 --> 01:14:03,634
- I really appreciated that answer

1490
01:14:03,700 --> 01:14:06,734
and not thinking about it as a a hundred percent in or out

1491
01:14:06,734 --> 01:14:09,100
and thinking about how can we not be stuck in

1492
01:14:10,066 --> 01:14:11,100
also it not being forever.

1493
01:14:11,834 --> 01:14:13,300
Last question. You mentioned

1494
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,734
piloting the training at Royal Oaks for the last two years.

1495
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,500
You said did we see an impact from

1496
01:14:20,500 --> 01:14:21,700
that or what did we learn from that?

1497
01:14:21,900 --> 01:14:25,000
- We have an anecdotal, so I can refer

1498
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,867
to the anecdotal impact which was, so prior to

1499
01:14:27,867 --> 01:14:30,634
that we had people saying anyone who had gone

1500
01:14:30,634 --> 01:14:32,100
through the full day training

1501
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,266
for nonviolent crisis intervention would always say

1502
01:14:35,667 --> 01:14:38,300
everybody needs at least the deescalation training.

1503
01:14:38,300 --> 01:14:40,834
Everybody needs at least the deescalation training.

1504
01:14:41,100 --> 01:14:43,467
And we were like, okay, do we start to do this internally?

1505
01:14:43,700 --> 01:14:45,000
Should we do this on our own?

1506
01:14:45,100 --> 01:14:47,100
And then Crisis Prevention Institute,

1507
01:14:47,100 --> 01:14:49,867
which is the organization that a lot of money to

1508
01:14:49,867 --> 01:14:51,767
for the trainings but it's worth it,

1509
01:14:52,500 --> 01:14:54,467
created several different training options

1510
01:14:54,567 --> 01:14:57,467
that focused on different populations of staff.

1511
01:14:57,667 --> 01:15:00,066
And so these deescalation training modules,

1512
01:15:00,100 --> 01:15:01,634
I'm guessing they got the same feedback

1513
01:15:01,634 --> 01:15:03,100
that we were getting were created

1514
01:15:03,166 --> 01:15:06,634
for all school staff members regardless of role playground,

1515
01:15:06,767 --> 01:15:09,934
assistant lunchroom, supervision in the classroom,

1516
01:15:11,100 --> 01:15:13,133
extracurricular activities, bus drivers.

1517
01:15:13,133 --> 01:15:15,333
There's a variety of different trainings on just

1518
01:15:15,867 --> 01:15:17,333
deescalation strategies.

1519
01:15:17,834 --> 01:15:19,100
So the anecdotal records

1520
01:15:19,433 --> 01:15:21,834
and it moved pretty quickly among the principal group

1521
01:15:21,834 --> 01:15:23,233
and I wish that my brain could remember.

1522
01:15:23,867 --> 01:15:26,533
So I know it was Royal Oaks the first year, I can't remember

1523
01:15:26,533 --> 01:15:28,066
who else did it with them last year.

1524
01:15:28,033 --> 01:15:30,100
I apologize, I just can't remember.

1525
01:15:31,066 --> 01:15:33,734
Brought that information forward, continued to endorse it

1526
01:15:33,900 --> 01:15:37,066
and then our social emotional learning committee looked at

1527
01:15:37,066 --> 01:15:38,767
that and added that to our universal

1528
01:15:38,767 --> 01:15:40,066
strategies adult practices.

1529
01:15:40,300 --> 01:15:43,000
'cause when we think about, when we think about curriculum,

1530
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:47,500
it's standards, it's assessment, it's teacher practices

1531
01:15:47,567 --> 01:15:48,567
and it's materials.

1532
01:15:49,133 --> 01:15:51,300
So teacher practices are

1533
01:15:51,634 --> 01:15:54,700
that now all teachers will have education in are the

1534
01:15:54,700 --> 01:15:56,533
deescalation strategies in support

1535
01:15:56,567 --> 01:15:58,133
of social emotional learning standards.

1536
01:16:00,100 --> 01:16:02,000
- Stankey and Stankey again to you

1537
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,000
and Dr. Turner for taking the time earlier today.

1538
01:16:04,266 --> 01:16:06,467
We really appreciated the information you shared.

1539
01:16:06,500 --> 01:16:07,700
- Thanks for the opportunity

1540
01:16:07,900 --> 01:16:09,767
- And Stankey for answering the off

1541
01:16:09,767 --> 01:16:10,834
the cuff questions tonight.

1542
01:16:10,900 --> 01:16:12,467
But very nice answers Stankey.

1543
01:16:14,834 --> 01:16:17,567
- Okay. Last one. And I think we had a lot

1544
01:16:17,567 --> 01:16:20,333
of questions covered that I was going to lead into

1545
01:16:20,333 --> 01:16:22,166
but you already covered it so Stankey for that.

1546
01:16:24,867 --> 01:16:26,033
I think just anecdotally,

1547
01:16:26,033 --> 01:16:28,166
and I could put this in the debrief too, as I'm getting used

1548
01:16:28,166 --> 01:16:31,033
to this new structure, I'm realizing

1549
01:16:31,033 --> 01:16:32,300
what a visual learner I am

1550
01:16:32,667 --> 01:16:34,500
and you had so many wonderful notes

1551
01:16:34,500 --> 01:16:35,834
and so many things you were sharing.

1552
01:16:35,900 --> 01:16:38,066
But not being able to hear it ahead of time

1553
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,533
and trying to absorb it all just auditory

1554
01:16:41,033 --> 01:16:42,567
was really difficult for me.

1555
01:16:42,567 --> 01:16:44,166
Like I feel like I missed things where I'm,

1556
01:16:44,266 --> 01:16:46,300
I would wanna like go back and look at this recording

1557
01:16:46,300 --> 01:16:47,734
and re-listen to it again

1558
01:16:48,066 --> 01:16:49,767
'cause I probably would've played it a couple times.

1559
01:16:49,867 --> 01:16:51,033
It had it in a screencast

1560
01:16:51,500 --> 01:16:55,066
but I'm trying to like in the spur of the moment, absorb in

1561
01:16:55,734 --> 01:17:00,133
and that's maybe debrief on the whole like meeting topic

1562
01:17:00,066 --> 01:17:03,033
but especially it was really wonderful information truly

1563
01:17:03,634 --> 01:17:05,133
and I so appreciate you brought it on.

1564
01:17:05,133 --> 01:17:07,433
Just trying to like think it through personally.

1565
01:17:09,433 --> 01:17:12,300
The only question I think I'm gonna have to build on

1566
01:17:12,300 --> 01:17:14,100
what everybody else already asked is

1567
01:17:14,100 --> 01:17:15,767
around parental communication.

1568
01:17:16,367 --> 01:17:18,700
Regarding any of this, and you already said it

1569
01:17:18,700 --> 01:17:20,867
and I couldn't observe, but can you just talk a little bit

1570
01:17:20,867 --> 01:17:24,266
about how we communicate with parents when this happens

1571
01:17:24,266 --> 01:17:25,333
with one of their students

1572
01:17:25,567 --> 01:17:28,300
or potentially maybe in front of one

1573
01:17:28,300 --> 01:17:29,767
of their students as well?

1574
01:17:30,634 --> 01:17:32,467
- Yeah. I will speak only to

1575
01:17:33,133 --> 01:17:35,100
the parental communication related

1576
01:17:35,233 --> 01:17:38,033
to if their child is involved in a,

1577
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,100
is experiencing seclusion or restraint.

1578
01:17:41,900 --> 01:17:46,533
So we have specific guidelines that are written into law

1579
01:17:46,567 --> 01:17:47,634
and into our policy.

1580
01:17:48,734 --> 01:17:52,000
So first of all, when an incident of physical a seclusion

1581
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,734
or physical restraint happens the same day,

1582
01:17:54,734 --> 01:17:59,300
an administrator has to be notified so that within

1583
01:18:00,233 --> 01:18:03,066
at least one business day of the incident,

1584
01:18:03,233 --> 01:18:04,867
the parent needs to be notified.

1585
01:18:05,233 --> 01:18:08,100
The reason we try to do it the same day, the reason

1586
01:18:08,100 --> 01:18:11,567
that the law allows for that 24 hour window is so

1587
01:18:11,567 --> 01:18:14,767
that if an administrator wasn't involved in the situation,

1588
01:18:15,100 --> 01:18:17,634
the data and information can be collected so

1589
01:18:17,634 --> 01:18:20,033
that they can have an informed conversation with caregivers.

1590
01:18:20,734 --> 01:18:23,000
I can tell you that the majority of our leaders

1591
01:18:23,033 --> 01:18:25,467
and our guidance would wind up being call

1592
01:18:25,467 --> 01:18:27,734
and make a caregiver aware that it has happened

1593
01:18:27,867 --> 01:18:31,066
and that you will be sharing additional information

1594
01:18:31,066 --> 01:18:33,567
with them once we have all of the information.

1595
01:18:34,133 --> 01:18:36,567
But the part about a student being seen by the nurse

1596
01:18:36,567 --> 01:18:37,567
that happens that day.

1597
01:18:37,567 --> 01:18:39,767
And so we can explain that information right away

1598
01:18:39,767 --> 01:18:43,000
to a caregiver within two business days,

1599
01:18:43,100 --> 01:18:44,634
but as a, as soon as possible.

1600
01:18:44,634 --> 01:18:46,100
But no later than two business days,

1601
01:18:46,133 --> 01:18:48,467
we send a written report to the caregiver

1602
01:18:48,734 --> 01:18:52,000
and we have a set district format for that report

1603
01:18:52,300 --> 01:18:55,000
that includes all of the information that's required by law

1604
01:18:56,867 --> 01:18:59,300
so that in that report is prepared.

1605
01:18:59,433 --> 01:19:01,533
And then we, we try to send it within two days.

1606
01:19:01,533 --> 01:19:03,500
The law allows for three business days for it

1607
01:19:03,500 --> 01:19:04,634
to be sent and delivered.

1608
01:19:05,066 --> 01:19:07,333
We try to get that to caregivers as quickly as possible.

1609
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:11,734
Then within 10 school days of an incident,

1610
01:19:12,100 --> 01:19:14,000
there's a post-incident debrief meeting

1611
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:15,767
and a problem solving meeting for students.

1612
01:19:15,867 --> 01:19:20,033
If it's a student without a disability, the team, one

1613
01:19:20,033 --> 01:19:21,500
of their actions needs to be

1614
01:19:22,233 --> 01:19:25,333
activating a functional behavioral analysis that leads

1615
01:19:25,333 --> 01:19:26,700
that into a behavior plan.

1616
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,100
The intent behind that is to understand the behavior

1617
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,133
and to put supportive measures and practices in place.

1618
01:19:32,834 --> 01:19:34,100
If it's a student with a disability

1619
01:19:34,867 --> 01:19:37,033
and they have had an incident of seclusion

1620
01:19:37,033 --> 01:19:38,100
or restraint more than once.

1621
01:19:38,333 --> 01:19:41,000
So at that second time an IEP meeting has to be held

1622
01:19:41,834 --> 01:19:44,066
and then we have to discuss the use of seclusion

1623
01:19:44,066 --> 01:19:45,266
or restraint within an IEP.

1624
01:19:45,634 --> 01:19:50,133
There are some students who part of their supportive plan is

1625
01:19:51,033 --> 01:19:53,100
that at a level, once we hit a particular level

1626
01:19:53,133 --> 01:19:55,533
of escalation, if we haven't been able to deescalate

1627
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,634
before that it might be that we would use a restraint

1628
01:19:58,634 --> 01:19:59,934
to transfer to move.

1629
01:20:00,266 --> 01:20:02,233
Even though that's an approved practice

1630
01:20:02,233 --> 01:20:04,700
and it's written into their IEP, we still document it.

1631
01:20:04,734 --> 01:20:06,700
So that's another thing I think to be aware of.

1632
01:20:07,133 --> 01:20:09,567
When we see increased numbers of incidents for students

1633
01:20:09,567 --> 01:20:12,533
with disabilities that there are approved

1634
01:20:12,634 --> 01:20:14,867
and trained, they call 'em transfers.

1635
01:20:15,066 --> 01:20:17,000
When we're in one space, we

1636
01:20:18,500 --> 01:20:22,100
story tell we we, that is part of their plan

1637
01:20:22,333 --> 01:20:23,533
but we still document it.

1638
01:20:23,567 --> 01:20:26,467
We still share it because it's still data that's relevant.

1639
01:20:27,166 --> 01:20:30,033
Our hope of course is always that we need less of that level

1640
01:20:30,033 --> 01:20:31,834
of involvement, but knowing that it's part

1641
01:20:31,834 --> 01:20:35,266
of a plan I think is helpful.

1642
01:20:37,500 --> 01:20:41,033
- No Stankey for that and I appreciate that It's a difficult

1643
01:20:41,433 --> 01:20:44,467
potentially grace space when we're talking about we would

1644
01:20:44,467 --> 01:20:48,033
never share an individual student's personal information

1645
01:20:48,066 --> 01:20:50,567
with anyone other than their parent or caregiver.

1646
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:53,634
However, I do know it's been a recurring question

1647
01:20:53,900 --> 01:20:56,100
or a bit of feedback that the district has received.

1648
01:20:56,133 --> 01:20:59,000
If let's say I have a kindergartner, which I don't anymore,

1649
01:20:59,100 --> 01:21:01,934
and something big happens in their classroom

1650
01:21:01,934 --> 01:21:04,066
that they're gonna come home and tell me about

1651
01:21:04,233 --> 01:21:07,000
and I didn't hear about it first from the school

1652
01:21:07,133 --> 01:21:08,700
or their teacher or their adult,

1653
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,634
I think it's been a recurring question of how do,

1654
01:21:11,834 --> 01:21:14,634
what does communication look like when potentially your

1655
01:21:14,634 --> 01:21:16,533
child witnessed something that they may have found?

1656
01:21:17,934 --> 01:21:21,133
You know, I don't wanna use traumatic like too broadly.

1657
01:21:21,467 --> 01:21:22,500
Yep. But yeah,

1658
01:21:22,834 --> 01:21:24,533
- So to address that piece, I'm sorry I,

1659
01:21:24,934 --> 01:21:28,066
I separated the question because I wanted to be very linear

1660
01:21:28,233 --> 01:21:32,734
and sequential in the required response for

1661
01:21:33,300 --> 01:21:35,133
students who experience the seclusion

1662
01:21:35,133 --> 01:21:36,934
or the restraint for their own person.

1663
01:21:39,700 --> 01:21:42,634
If there is a situation that happens in a classroom,

1664
01:21:42,700 --> 01:21:46,367
our guidance for our principals at all levels would be

1665
01:21:47,533 --> 01:21:50,133
communicate to caregivers to help them be informed of

1666
01:21:50,133 --> 01:21:52,634
what happened to or what their child experienced.

1667
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:54,700
So whether it was, as we brought up

1668
01:21:54,700 --> 01:21:56,634
before a classroom evacuation

1669
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,033
and we would always try if something was happening in a

1670
01:22:01,033 --> 01:22:04,066
classroom, we are gonna preserve the dignity of the student

1671
01:22:04,033 --> 01:22:07,066
that's experiencing if it's a restraint in the middle

1672
01:22:07,066 --> 01:22:10,333
of a classroom and we would absolutely have two things

1673
01:22:10,333 --> 01:22:11,834
happening simultaneously, right?

1674
01:22:11,867 --> 01:22:13,634
The first thing we're gonna clear out the classroom

1675
01:22:13,634 --> 01:22:16,300
because even before a restraint,

1676
01:22:16,300 --> 01:22:18,300
because we can tell this is escalating

1677
01:22:19,133 --> 01:22:21,033
or if we have a student that's escalate like

1678
01:22:21,033 --> 01:22:24,100
that is escorted out of the classroom in a way that might be

1679
01:22:24,734 --> 01:22:26,033
impactful to other students,

1680
01:22:27,166 --> 01:22:29,567
there is the judgment call all the time in our buildings

1681
01:22:29,567 --> 01:22:30,734
about the level of information

1682
01:22:30,734 --> 01:22:32,033
and communication to caregivers.

1683
01:22:32,233 --> 01:22:35,033
I think some of the hardest decisions that our principals

1684
01:22:35,033 --> 01:22:37,834
and our teachers have to make is, is this communication

1685
01:22:37,834 --> 01:22:39,066
that is an email or is this

1686
01:22:39,300 --> 01:22:40,533
communication that is a phone call?

1687
01:22:42,700 --> 01:22:44,333
I think it's a hard thing to decide.

1688
01:22:46,033 --> 01:22:48,000
So many times we can,

1689
01:22:50,433 --> 01:22:53,033
many situations we feel better about them when we have

1690
01:22:53,033 --> 01:22:55,567
that interpersonal relationship and that phone call.

1691
01:22:56,634 --> 01:23:00,066
And I think sometimes in the middle of the day we sit down

1692
01:23:00,066 --> 01:23:01,133
and we're like, I'm just gonna document

1693
01:23:01,133 --> 01:23:02,233
this and let somebody know.

1694
01:23:02,333 --> 01:23:05,066
And then we're left as parents to sort of fill in the blanks

1695
01:23:05,266 --> 01:23:06,333
and be like, is this true?

1696
01:23:06,567 --> 01:23:08,033
Or wait for our child to come home

1697
01:23:08,033 --> 01:23:09,266
and then have to ask more questions.

1698
01:23:09,700 --> 01:23:12,066
And that just adds I think an extra layer of anxiety.

1699
01:23:12,233 --> 01:23:14,266
So I think while communication is the norm

1700
01:23:14,266 --> 01:23:16,533
and the expectation, the how and the when

1701
01:23:16,900 --> 01:23:19,066
and the who is some of that judgment

1702
01:23:19,166 --> 01:23:20,367
that our building principals

1703
01:23:20,367 --> 01:23:22,066
and our teachers are making all the time.

1704
01:23:23,867 --> 01:23:25,467
- Yeah, I think - Not surprises.

1705
01:23:25,700 --> 01:23:28,533
So comm, we're always gonna err on the side of communicate,

1706
01:23:28,667 --> 01:23:29,834
which is also difficult

1707
01:23:29,834 --> 01:23:31,367
because it's hard for us then as parents,

1708
01:23:31,734 --> 01:23:33,000
how am I supposed to respond?

1709
01:23:34,867 --> 01:23:37,266
- No Stankey for that. And that was,

1710
01:23:37,266 --> 01:23:39,300
does anyone have any additional comments or questions?

1711
01:23:42,700 --> 01:23:44,333
Okay, wonderful. Stankey Stankey much.

1712
01:23:47,500 --> 01:23:52,033
Alright. And that was the end, the first committee. Okay.

1713
01:23:52,033 --> 01:23:55,166
So now we're gonna move to section seven

1714
01:23:55,300 --> 01:23:56,567
as our operations committee

1715
01:23:58,500 --> 01:24:01,367
and I'm gonna handing it off to Joe are you introducing

1716
01:24:01,367 --> 01:24:02,667
or who's is the

1717
01:24:02,667 --> 01:24:03,667
- Board member?

1718
01:24:03,667 --> 01:24:06,166
I can, I can introduce the team if that's okay. Fantastic.

1719
01:24:06,500 --> 01:24:08,467
Yeah, looks like Jewel is taking a podium.

1720
01:24:08,867 --> 01:24:11,333
She's our assistant superintendent of operations.

1721
01:24:12,767 --> 01:24:16,166
Matt is obviously the director of, well obviously to us the

1722
01:24:16,900 --> 01:24:18,066
director of business and finance.

1723
01:24:19,433 --> 01:24:21,100
Yeah, Dr.

1724
01:24:21,100 --> 01:24:25,700
Chris Sadler is the director of HR and Dr.

1725
01:24:25,767 --> 01:24:27,100
Trisha Rody is the director

1726
01:24:27,100 --> 01:24:29,000
of school operations also on our committee sitting back

1727
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,133
there and Colleen is the other

1728
01:24:31,133 --> 01:24:32,266
board member on the committee.

1729
01:24:32,567 --> 01:24:33,934
So take it away Stankey.

1730
01:24:35,634 --> 01:24:38,266
- Alright, well Stankey for having us tonight.

1731
01:24:39,500 --> 01:24:43,900
We're gonna start off by just providing some, some updates,

1732
01:24:43,900 --> 01:24:46,000
particularly updates that relate to

1733
01:24:46,867 --> 01:24:48,500
building partnerships within the community.

1734
01:24:49,100 --> 01:24:52,100
So one thing that we wanted to report out on was the wall

1735
01:24:52,100 --> 01:24:53,500
of success transfer.

1736
01:24:53,634 --> 01:24:56,433
So what we are working

1737
01:24:56,500 --> 01:24:59,100
through is transferring the selection process

1738
01:24:59,133 --> 01:25:01,934
to the Sun Prairie Education Foundation.

1739
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:07,000
So we're still involved in the selection process related

1740
01:25:07,100 --> 01:25:09,133
to the wall of success,

1741
01:25:09,233 --> 01:25:10,467
but ultimately what we're trying

1742
01:25:10,467 --> 01:25:14,333
to do is step back from being in the driver's seat related

1743
01:25:14,333 --> 01:25:15,467
to that process and

1744
01:25:15,533 --> 01:25:20,066
and allow more of a third party organization to help lead

1745
01:25:20,767 --> 01:25:22,333
that process for the district.

1746
01:25:22,333 --> 01:25:26,100
So we will still be in collaboration with the,

1747
01:25:26,033 --> 01:25:28,834
with the group as far as the celebration is concerned,

1748
01:25:29,133 --> 01:25:30,900
district representation will continue to serve

1749
01:25:31,767 --> 01:25:33,066
in the selection process

1750
01:25:33,266 --> 01:25:36,166
but ultimately we felt that it was a good fit

1751
01:25:36,266 --> 01:25:40,500
and a nice time to, to kind of pass the buck for logistics

1752
01:25:40,533 --> 01:25:42,834
and an implementation, implementation

1753
01:25:42,834 --> 01:25:45,934
and development process to the SPEF.

1754
01:25:46,033 --> 01:25:47,634
So that's one thing that we wanted to share.

1755
01:25:48,066 --> 01:25:51,100
Also, EV charging stations.

1756
01:25:51,834 --> 01:25:54,367
So back in 2025,

1757
01:25:55,767 --> 01:25:59,700
Sun Prairie was involved in a community project,

1758
01:26:00,066 --> 01:26:02,467
a county project called Charge Up Dane County.

1759
01:26:03,367 --> 01:26:06,867
And in June of 2025 there the district was part

1760
01:26:06,867 --> 01:26:09,700
of a submission that highlighted putting

1761
01:26:10,367 --> 01:26:12,934
EV charging stations around the community.

1762
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:14,300
And the two district sites

1763
01:26:14,567 --> 01:26:17,333
that were proposed within the submission was

1764
01:26:18,266 --> 01:26:21,066
a charging site at the Bank of Sun Prairie Stadium

1765
01:26:21,133 --> 01:26:23,066
and then also at the DSC.

1766
01:26:23,667 --> 01:26:27,700
And so throughout the, the planning process there were 31

1767
01:26:28,900 --> 01:26:33,333
submittals selected out of the 57 total applications

1768
01:26:33,333 --> 01:26:36,734
that were provided to the county for this project.

1769
01:26:37,700 --> 01:26:40,100
So our district project is moving forward.

1770
01:26:40,133 --> 01:26:45,033
So back in August, 2025 there was an

1771
01:26:45,333 --> 01:26:48,767
engineering review related to a DA compliance power,

1772
01:26:49,300 --> 01:26:52,333
exact placement as to where things could possibly go.

1773
01:26:52,934 --> 01:26:55,300
And then over the course of the year there's been a lot

1774
01:26:55,300 --> 01:26:57,300
of discussion related to host agreements

1775
01:26:57,367 --> 01:26:59,734
and what that partnership with the,

1776
01:27:00,066 --> 01:27:01,333
with the county would look like.

1777
01:27:01,500 --> 01:27:04,133
So ultimately kind of where we are at is we're hoping

1778
01:27:04,166 --> 01:27:06,700
to move forward with the project by

1779
01:27:07,467 --> 01:27:08,867
participating in a five year agreement.

1780
01:27:09,333 --> 01:27:11,133
And what that would ultimately mean is

1781
01:27:11,133 --> 01:27:13,367
for five years we're we're providing these sites

1782
01:27:13,667 --> 01:27:15,367
and then at the end of five years we either

1783
01:27:16,467 --> 01:27:18,066
renew or we remove.

1784
01:27:18,634 --> 01:27:22,734
And so there is no out out of pocket cost for the district.

1785
01:27:23,634 --> 01:27:26,233
Ultimately the, the county is looking to break even

1786
01:27:26,266 --> 01:27:29,467
and just again providing those opportunities through those

1787
01:27:30,100 --> 01:27:33,100
charging stations, all the equipment, the installation

1788
01:27:33,100 --> 01:27:35,867
and the overall operations will be free of charge

1789
01:27:35,934 --> 01:27:37,066
to the district as well.

1790
01:27:37,367 --> 01:27:40,000
And then any sort of permanent upgrades related

1791
01:27:40,066 --> 01:27:41,066
to like power sources

1792
01:27:41,233 --> 01:27:43,100
and things like that, that's kind of just a perk

1793
01:27:43,100 --> 01:27:44,700
that the district would end up getting.

1794
01:27:45,133 --> 01:27:48,000
So those are two big things we just wanted to make sure

1795
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,734
that you were aware of any questions like with that?

1796
01:27:54,433 --> 01:27:55,500
Okay, great.

1797
01:27:57,100 --> 01:28:01,700
Okay, so the operations committee

1798
01:28:02,433 --> 01:28:05,734
is up first related to really going through

1799
01:28:06,667 --> 01:28:09,233
the board interpretations and so we have OE four

1800
01:28:09,367 --> 01:28:13,333
and OR four so personnel administration

1801
01:28:13,500 --> 01:28:14,834
and human resources.

1802
01:28:15,166 --> 01:28:16,834
And ultimately what we want

1803
01:28:16,834 --> 01:28:19,934
to do tonight is really tell the story of

1804
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:24,133
how we're currently interpreting the, the policies and

1805
01:28:24,266 --> 01:28:26,500
and kind of what the overall expectations are

1806
01:28:26,900 --> 01:28:28,033
and then where we're going next.

1807
01:28:28,133 --> 01:28:30,533
So we really wanna talk about kind of that,

1808
01:28:30,533 --> 01:28:31,834
that past practice,

1809
01:28:32,300 --> 01:28:35,100
provide some evidence on some focus areas as far

1810
01:28:35,100 --> 01:28:37,266
as strengths and some areas that we wanna grow in

1811
01:28:37,700 --> 01:28:41,500
and then provide recommendations for moving forward.

1812
01:28:42,634 --> 01:28:44,533
Ultimately, depending on your feedback tonight,

1813
01:28:44,900 --> 01:28:47,934
our next steps will be to provide like an infographic high

1814
01:28:47,934 --> 01:28:51,567
level monitoring report for you related to the buckets

1815
01:28:51,567 --> 01:28:52,867
that we're gonna present tonight.

1816
01:28:53,133 --> 01:28:55,233
But we wanted to make sure we got your feedback

1817
01:28:55,233 --> 01:28:56,867
before we move forward with that.

1818
01:28:58,166 --> 01:29:02,000
So in relation to our OE in

1819
01:29:02,233 --> 01:29:06,033
or ultimately the background starts

1820
01:29:06,033 --> 01:29:10,266
with developing monitoring, monitoring reports with a lot

1821
01:29:10,266 --> 01:29:12,033
of different measures to determine compliance

1822
01:29:12,033 --> 01:29:13,233
within the school district.

1823
01:29:13,233 --> 01:29:15,867
That's kind of a measure of coherence governments,

1824
01:29:15,867 --> 01:29:17,767
which the government's model here in Sun Prairie

1825
01:29:18,467 --> 01:29:22,100
and our, our monitoring

1826
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,266
really focused on the areas of recruitment, employment,

1827
01:29:27,100 --> 01:29:30,467
developing our staff, how we evaluate

1828
01:29:30,467 --> 01:29:33,934
and provide feedback, how we treat our overall personnel

1829
01:29:33,934 --> 01:29:35,000
and then also looking at

1830
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,100
that compensation component as well.

1831
01:29:37,734 --> 01:29:41,066
And so ultimately what our goal is as we move forward,

1832
01:29:41,333 --> 01:29:43,634
we wanna elevate our workforce systems

1833
01:29:44,433 --> 01:29:47,367
to really focus on safety effectiveness

1834
01:29:47,567 --> 01:29:48,634
and student outcomes.

1835
01:29:48,700 --> 01:29:52,033
So we wanna move from that compliance component into really

1836
01:29:52,033 --> 01:29:53,767
that outcome driven component.

1837
01:29:53,867 --> 01:29:58,100
Next. So what we did is we looked at kind of

1838
01:29:58,133 --> 01:30:00,834
where are we currently to establish a baseline.

1839
01:30:01,066 --> 01:30:05,767
So we, we took data from 25 26

1840
01:30:05,867 --> 01:30:08,066
and course we'll provide information on that in a moment.

1841
01:30:08,567 --> 01:30:10,100
And ultimately what we were able

1842
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:12,867
to see is we have a very strong infrastructure

1843
01:30:13,266 --> 01:30:16,066
but there's opportunity to strengthen the outcome.

1844
01:30:16,166 --> 01:30:18,533
So again, moving from that compliance component

1845
01:30:19,033 --> 01:30:21,000
into building that capacity

1846
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,367
and that performance within our workforce.

1847
01:30:24,033 --> 01:30:28,033
And so ultimately what we want to do is continue calibration

1848
01:30:28,533 --> 01:30:31,500
through evaluation and feedback delivery models

1849
01:30:32,734 --> 01:30:35,567
and just provide that consistency across the district.

1850
01:30:35,667 --> 01:30:38,767
So those are some of the key areas that are like high level.

1851
01:30:39,233 --> 01:30:42,233
So again, in terms of our, our current state,

1852
01:30:42,266 --> 01:30:45,233
we're using 25 26 data as a baseline.

1853
01:30:45,734 --> 01:30:48,066
And ultimately what we wanna do is take our monitoring

1854
01:30:48,066 --> 01:30:51,700
reports and taking our implementation strategies

1855
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,467
and we wanna align them really to three buckets.

1856
01:30:54,934 --> 01:30:57,500
And so our buckets are recruitment,

1857
01:30:57,867 --> 01:30:59,367
retention and development.

1858
01:31:00,467 --> 01:31:02,867
And then we wanna ultimately shift any

1859
01:31:02,867 --> 01:31:06,133
of our practices related to those buckets from participation

1860
01:31:06,133 --> 01:31:10,567
and completion into overall impact, capacity

1861
01:31:10,667 --> 01:31:12,767
and performance like I previously stated.

1862
01:31:13,266 --> 01:31:16,500
So kind of what we're doing moving forward is we're trying

1863
01:31:16,500 --> 01:31:19,333
to move into this continuous improvement approach

1864
01:31:19,500 --> 01:31:23,734
for our outcomes very similarly to how we wanna move our,

1865
01:31:23,834 --> 01:31:25,100
our student outcomes forward.

1866
01:31:25,367 --> 01:31:27,634
And then also what we wanna do is we wanna develop

1867
01:31:28,867 --> 01:31:32,533
development practices through a tiered response.

1868
01:31:32,634 --> 01:31:34,333
So really again building that capacity

1869
01:31:34,333 --> 01:31:36,133
and making sure we're providing

1870
01:31:36,300 --> 01:31:39,066
that just in time support not only to our students

1871
01:31:39,166 --> 01:31:40,467
but also to our staff.

1872
01:31:41,900 --> 01:31:44,133
And so what we're hoping that you'll do at the end

1873
01:31:44,133 --> 01:31:47,066
of the month is approve some high level interpretations

1874
01:31:47,066 --> 01:31:51,000
again related to the three buckets of re recruitment,

1875
01:31:51,266 --> 01:31:55,900
retention and development. This

1876
01:31:56,000 --> 01:31:57,000
- Me too.

1877
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:57,367
This is me too.

1878
01:32:02,767 --> 01:32:05,867
- Yeah, so as Jewel

1879
01:32:06,033 --> 01:32:08,000
and the committee kind of worked through this,

1880
01:32:08,066 --> 01:32:10,634
obviously this is the first time going through this process.

1881
01:32:11,100 --> 01:32:14,634
So I'll start with a week four that was

1882
01:32:16,033 --> 01:32:18,567
actually just looked at in 2025 and then

1883
01:32:18,734 --> 01:32:21,000
or four was 2024 when we were kind

1884
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,567
of like pulling the original wait four apart.

1885
01:32:24,500 --> 01:32:27,567
But as Jewel said, there's really three big concepts here

1886
01:32:27,567 --> 01:32:29,834
and that's recruiting, developing and retaining.

1887
01:32:29,934 --> 01:32:32,000
I mean if you really look at how they're written now,

1888
01:32:32,834 --> 01:32:35,567
you pretty much can figure out which statements fit within

1889
01:32:35,634 --> 01:32:36,834
each of those buckets.

1890
01:32:36,867 --> 01:32:40,000
It's just making it clear a lot of the measurements too

1891
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:42,333
that we've used in the past again fit those three

1892
01:32:43,266 --> 01:32:44,367
concepts that are right there.

1893
01:32:44,667 --> 01:32:48,066
So the one thing that I always pay attention to is,

1894
01:32:48,667 --> 01:32:50,100
as Jewel was talking about, is

1895
01:32:50,100 --> 01:32:53,033
that OE really is about compliance.

1896
01:32:53,033 --> 01:32:56,033
Like do you have the system to the pace in place

1897
01:32:56,367 --> 01:33:00,066
that baseline pretty much tells you that things are in place

1898
01:33:00,467 --> 01:33:04,300
for success but they're not really like results so much.

1899
01:33:04,867 --> 01:33:06,000
They used to have a mixture

1900
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:07,834
and that's why we ended up pulling up apart

1901
01:33:08,066 --> 01:33:09,033
'cause it was actually really confusing.

1902
01:33:09,133 --> 01:33:14,100
So I think the one thing that we were charged

1903
01:33:14,166 --> 01:33:16,934
with as we kind of work through this is we do realize

1904
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:18,934
that there's a lot of terms in there sometimes

1905
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,734
that can be open for interpretation

1906
01:33:20,734 --> 01:33:22,233
and that's why it says interpretation

1907
01:33:23,333 --> 01:33:26,000
and that will be some of the work that we have to do kind

1908
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,634
of moving forward and OE again when we think about that

1909
01:33:30,166 --> 01:33:33,266
is really about compliance do have that

1910
01:33:36,066 --> 01:33:40,033
OR four again is it is really about alliance

1911
01:33:40,467 --> 01:33:42,567
alignment, preparedness

1912
01:33:42,734 --> 01:33:44,300
and like being supported as a,

1913
01:33:44,300 --> 01:33:45,867
as a real person, as an employee.

1914
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,100
These are where the results kind of play out.

1915
01:33:48,166 --> 01:33:50,700
So again, those

1916
01:33:51,266 --> 01:33:54,066
actually already kind are in those buckets when you see the

1917
01:33:54,066 --> 01:33:56,066
board recruitment, retention

1918
01:33:56,166 --> 01:33:58,300
and then development really isn't in there

1919
01:33:58,300 --> 01:34:00,700
and that's, it talks about professional learning

1920
01:34:01,100 --> 01:34:03,233
but it's really being developed as a, as an employee

1921
01:34:03,433 --> 01:34:05,133
and again we gotta define some of those terms

1922
01:34:05,734 --> 01:34:07,500
but that's how we're looking at both 'EM

1923
01:34:07,700 --> 01:34:10,734
'cause they really do mesh together just from a client's

1924
01:34:10,734 --> 01:34:12,634
versus a results base.

1925
01:34:12,667 --> 01:34:17,367
When we think about that, and again this is

1926
01:34:17,367 --> 01:34:19,734
kind of a a good example of an interpretation.

1927
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,100
So you know obviously we know that always ORs,

1928
01:34:23,333 --> 01:34:26,567
srs all play into the superintendent evaluation

1929
01:34:26,567 --> 01:34:27,934
and you can kind of see here

1930
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,100
the concept is the superintendent challenge.

1931
01:34:31,066 --> 01:34:33,934
Sure. When you think about again, OE and

1932
01:34:34,066 --> 01:34:35,834
or the superintendent

1933
01:34:36,066 --> 01:34:38,266
and his team are working to make sure

1934
01:34:38,266 --> 01:34:41,033
that those systems are in place to support

1935
01:34:41,500 --> 01:34:42,567
employees at the really baseline

1936
01:34:42,700 --> 01:34:43,767
and then the results are there

1937
01:34:43,767 --> 01:34:45,233
because we want to treat people well

1938
01:34:46,266 --> 01:34:47,834
as people in a lot of different ways.

1939
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,867
And again that word people is at the top for a reason

1940
01:34:50,867 --> 01:34:52,634
because that's what employees are

1941
01:34:53,033 --> 01:34:55,734
and we wanna make sure that they are treated well,

1942
01:34:55,834 --> 01:34:56,867
they understand their purpose

1943
01:34:57,100 --> 01:35:00,533
and they have values that that play into what we value

1944
01:35:00,667 --> 01:35:02,066
as a district and a community.

1945
01:35:05,066 --> 01:35:07,533
And again this is kind of just another graphic

1946
01:35:07,567 --> 01:35:10,033
around the idea that when you really think about

1947
01:35:10,033 --> 01:35:13,500
recruitment, you're thinking about compensation evaluation,

1948
01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:15,533
which really I just equate to feedback

1949
01:35:15,634 --> 01:35:17,467
because we all want to know what we're doing well

1950
01:35:17,567 --> 01:35:19,100
and maybe things we want to improve

1951
01:35:19,100 --> 01:35:22,033
because when people notice those things we want to do better

1952
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:24,867
and we want to keep our strengths moving forward.

1953
01:35:25,500 --> 01:35:27,567
Retention again it's, it is, you know,

1954
01:35:27,567 --> 01:35:29,033
it's connected into that development.

1955
01:35:29,100 --> 01:35:32,300
And also recruitment, they all do really mesh together

1956
01:35:32,300 --> 01:35:36,000
because people are retained when their compensation is

1957
01:35:36,233 --> 01:35:38,000
competitive, they're treated well

1958
01:35:38,266 --> 01:35:40,300
and they know they're growing and they're cared for.

1959
01:35:40,767 --> 01:35:42,066
Development, same thing.

1960
01:35:42,734 --> 01:35:44,567
Feedback, it's how you're treated, that's

1961
01:35:44,567 --> 01:35:46,000
how you're gonna do better as a person.

1962
01:35:46,033 --> 01:35:47,533
When you know that people care about you,

1963
01:35:47,567 --> 01:35:50,300
they're giving you feedback both critical and both

1964
01:35:50,467 --> 01:35:51,567
and recognition

1965
01:35:51,934 --> 01:35:54,000
and then also again that you're being valued

1966
01:35:54,667 --> 01:35:58,133
like from a benefit standpoint you're probably gonna start

1967
01:35:58,133 --> 01:36:00,734
seeing some words that are a little different like total

1968
01:36:00,867 --> 01:36:03,734
rewards because in the end it's not just about the money

1969
01:36:03,734 --> 01:36:05,533
that goes in your pocket, it's about the benefits

1970
01:36:05,533 --> 01:36:07,300
that you also receive from health insurance,

1971
01:36:07,300 --> 01:36:08,934
dental insurance and all those other pieces

1972
01:36:10,233 --> 01:36:12,634
and that that would be language that we would interpret

1973
01:36:12,700 --> 01:36:13,834
and and start defining.

1974
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:19,333
So this is not meant to be like an overarching thing.

1975
01:36:19,500 --> 01:36:22,066
I think this is just a good place to start

1976
01:36:22,867 --> 01:36:26,100
When we think about recruitment, the current reality is yes,

1977
01:36:26,133 --> 01:36:28,100
you know, we want to make sure that our people

1978
01:36:28,100 --> 01:36:32,867
that are coming in are qualified a term that probably needs

1979
01:36:32,867 --> 01:36:35,133
to be defined again and that's what we'll work on.

1980
01:36:35,934 --> 01:36:37,066
But they're licensed appropriately.

1981
01:36:37,433 --> 01:36:39,467
There's a lot of different ways to get to that

1982
01:36:40,033 --> 01:36:42,133
that we're trying to get 'em into our system to do.

1983
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:46,533
And then we have really strong onboarding as they come on

1984
01:36:47,500 --> 01:36:51,867
and also that that idea that they want to be here, they know

1985
01:36:51,867 --> 01:36:53,634
that people are treated well right from the start.

1986
01:36:54,333 --> 01:36:56,333
So some baseline measures,

1987
01:36:56,500 --> 01:36:58,033
there are many other measures in this.

1988
01:36:58,033 --> 01:36:59,634
This is just a good example of

1989
01:36:59,667 --> 01:37:02,834
how it meshes both a compliance idea around like

1990
01:37:03,300 --> 01:37:05,133
everyone has to meet those certification requirements

1991
01:37:05,500 --> 01:37:07,266
or at least have an approved plan.

1992
01:37:08,100 --> 01:37:11,767
And then there's the OR pieces where, you know, 91%

1993
01:37:11,767 --> 01:37:14,066
of employees reported the district was a good place to work

1994
01:37:15,033 --> 01:37:19,266
or 96.4% of employees agreed that they get

1995
01:37:19,266 --> 01:37:21,233
to use their strengths and skills of the role they're in.

1996
01:37:21,266 --> 01:37:23,300
Which means that they're, we've hired 'em

1997
01:37:23,300 --> 01:37:24,367
into the right spot.

1998
01:37:25,667 --> 01:37:28,033
And again that's just like a good example of like

1999
01:37:28,066 --> 01:37:30,367
how those two mesh together both from a compliance

2000
01:37:30,467 --> 01:37:31,867
and then a results standpoint.

2001
01:37:32,567 --> 01:37:34,867
And then again the future state that we want to get to,

2002
01:37:35,266 --> 01:37:39,767
what will be true is that people choose our district

2003
01:37:39,934 --> 01:37:42,033
to work here because it's not just like

2004
01:37:42,033 --> 01:37:45,100
because of compensation benefits but they want to come here

2005
01:37:45,100 --> 01:37:47,567
because they know their purpose is gonna mesh

2006
01:37:47,567 --> 01:37:49,266
with our purpose and they're gonna see

2007
01:37:49,266 --> 01:37:51,500
that daily result from student outcomes

2008
01:37:51,700 --> 01:37:54,133
or whatever the work is that they know that the thing

2009
01:37:54,133 --> 01:37:55,934
that they do is gonna make a

2010
01:37:55,934 --> 01:37:57,000
difference somewhere in the system.

2011
01:37:58,834 --> 01:38:01,734
And again, building strategic talent pipelines is a really

2012
01:38:01,734 --> 01:38:02,767
important piece right now.

2013
01:38:02,867 --> 01:38:04,100
We know that there's not

2014
01:38:04,100 --> 01:38:05,500
as many people going into education.

2015
01:38:06,033 --> 01:38:07,066
We have to be really creative

2016
01:38:07,233 --> 01:38:10,867
and I would say extroverted in connecting with people

2017
01:38:11,100 --> 01:38:12,133
to come to our system.

2018
01:38:13,433 --> 01:38:15,133
And then again they want to, they want

2019
01:38:15,133 --> 01:38:17,467
to know they're coming to a system that strengthens 'em

2020
01:38:18,467 --> 01:38:21,367
and they want to grow in a place that they love to be.

2021
01:38:21,734 --> 01:38:25,033
So that is part of the recruitment story that people need

2022
01:38:25,033 --> 01:38:29,700
to hear Retention again, same kind

2023
01:38:29,700 --> 01:38:31,734
of concept going from left to right.

2024
01:38:32,867 --> 01:38:34,634
We know that when we retain

2025
01:38:35,100 --> 01:38:36,834
or when we're thinking about retention,

2026
01:38:37,133 --> 01:38:39,500
it's not just about the end point.

2027
01:38:39,834 --> 01:38:41,500
I think a lot of people think about, you know,

2028
01:38:41,500 --> 01:38:44,767
people being retained for 15, 20, 25, 30 years.

2029
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:46,500
Sometimes that's not always the reality.

2030
01:38:46,934 --> 01:38:48,066
But if we can come in

2031
01:38:48,100 --> 01:38:51,033
and they, we know they're qualified in license number one

2032
01:38:51,033 --> 01:38:52,500
and we're not putting 'em in a position

2033
01:38:52,634 --> 01:38:55,266
that they aren't gonna be successful at, they'll stay here.

2034
01:38:55,667 --> 01:38:58,467
They know that the pathways are very similar

2035
01:38:58,634 --> 01:38:59,767
to the way we recruit

2036
01:38:59,900 --> 01:39:01,767
because if we have a grow your own program

2037
01:39:02,033 --> 01:39:04,000
and they feel valued and that's pathway,

2038
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,300
they get into the role, they end up staying

2039
01:39:06,700 --> 01:39:08,100
'cause they know that from the beginning

2040
01:39:08,100 --> 01:39:09,467
they've been treated well.

2041
01:39:10,367 --> 01:39:12,533
And then finally when we think about onboarding,

2042
01:39:12,634 --> 01:39:15,033
especially I think that is something

2043
01:39:15,033 --> 01:39:17,467
that we have strengthened over the last two to three years

2044
01:39:17,500 --> 01:39:22,300
where we had a really strong teacher onboarding system, not

2045
01:39:22,300 --> 01:39:24,066
so much when we thought about support staff

2046
01:39:24,266 --> 01:39:25,533
admin and admin support.

2047
01:39:26,133 --> 01:39:30,133
So support staff is our second largest employee group.

2048
01:39:30,233 --> 01:39:32,934
So we've really focused on that and a thing called kickstart

2049
01:39:33,700 --> 01:39:36,467
and now we're, we're moving into administrative

2050
01:39:36,467 --> 01:39:40,000
and administrative support, which is really, really specific

2051
01:39:40,667 --> 01:39:41,867
and we know that we have to do better

2052
01:39:41,934 --> 01:39:45,133
but our current reality is our onboarding has been

2053
01:39:45,367 --> 01:39:48,100
strengthened and there's some, there's work to do

2054
01:39:49,166 --> 01:39:53,066
around evidence, you know, people feeling valued

2055
01:39:53,834 --> 01:39:55,100
and not just compensation.

2056
01:39:55,367 --> 01:39:57,467
'cause I think that word value sometimes connects to that.

2057
01:39:58,066 --> 01:40:01,066
It's more than that. It's about people who feeling valued

2058
01:40:01,066 --> 01:40:05,000
as a person and valued as what they for the work they do.

2059
01:40:06,667 --> 01:40:07,700
I'll skip the middle one

2060
01:40:07,834 --> 01:40:09,066
'cause I want to kind of come back to that.

2061
01:40:09,033 --> 01:40:11,500
But then the, the retention numbers are there.

2062
01:40:11,567 --> 01:40:16,533
You can see our state usually like people staying in the

2063
01:40:16,533 --> 01:40:20,300
same district ranges from 85 to 87%

2064
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:22,000
people staying in their district.

2065
01:40:22,100 --> 01:40:24,266
So ours has always been a goal of 90%.

2066
01:40:25,133 --> 01:40:27,100
We hit that again in 25, 26

2067
01:40:28,133 --> 01:40:30,100
and you can see how we kind of break down each one

2068
01:40:30,100 --> 01:40:33,367
of the groups 'cause it's not just about looking at the

2069
01:40:33,367 --> 01:40:36,233
whole employee group, it's about looking at the,

2070
01:40:36,266 --> 01:40:39,000
the demographics within it to make sure

2071
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:40,033
that it's consistent.

2072
01:40:40,133 --> 01:40:44,767
And as you can see, everyone is like either above 90%

2073
01:40:45,133 --> 01:40:46,567
or hovering around it.

2074
01:40:46,734 --> 01:40:49,033
So there are some things that we can take from that

2075
01:40:49,166 --> 01:40:52,700
but overall we're hitting the goals that we've always wanted

2076
01:40:52,700 --> 01:40:54,300
to that middle part.

2077
01:40:54,634 --> 01:40:59,533
A results measure around 70.9% of employees agreed

2078
01:40:59,533 --> 01:41:03,233
that their ideas and opinions are considered when decisions

2079
01:41:03,233 --> 01:41:05,700
are made that that affect their job.

2080
01:41:06,100 --> 01:41:07,567
That was one of our lower areas.

2081
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,266
You know 71% isn't one of those things

2082
01:41:10,266 --> 01:41:11,834
where it's like an emergency

2083
01:41:11,834 --> 01:41:14,100
but it certainly was like one of our lower areas

2084
01:41:14,100 --> 01:41:16,233
that we felt like we're gonna focus on that.

2085
01:41:16,233 --> 01:41:18,333
So we talked with a leadership collaborative group

2086
01:41:19,066 --> 01:41:23,066
just in August about how they can do that at their building

2087
01:41:23,100 --> 01:41:26,033
and department levels and build that throughout the year.

2088
01:41:26,066 --> 01:41:28,066
So we know that that's a focus area and that's how we use it

2089
01:41:28,066 --> 01:41:29,500
and that's like why we do results.

2090
01:41:31,133 --> 01:41:33,734
And then again, you know when we think about what's true in

2091
01:41:33,734 --> 01:41:36,066
the future, we want to be a districts choice.

2092
01:41:36,066 --> 01:41:38,066
You'll see that in all these, it all connects

2093
01:41:39,667 --> 01:41:42,066
and that retention is really done through trust,

2094
01:41:42,233 --> 01:41:43,333
safety and belonging.

2095
01:41:43,500 --> 01:41:47,233
And that again, I look at the word safety

2096
01:41:47,333 --> 01:41:49,367
and I can expound on that in a lot of different ways

2097
01:41:49,367 --> 01:41:52,533
because it's like are you safe in the work you do

2098
01:41:52,834 --> 01:41:55,100
but also do you feel safe as you walk out the door

2099
01:41:55,100 --> 01:41:57,066
that you feel like you've made a good living,

2100
01:41:57,634 --> 01:41:59,567
you have benefits to support you and your family

2101
01:41:59,867 --> 01:42:02,767
and you feel overall just safe in the work that you do.

2102
01:42:04,266 --> 01:42:07,033
And then again establishing a culture around wellness,

2103
01:42:07,367 --> 01:42:10,533
we put a lot of work into that around the idea

2104
01:42:10,567 --> 01:42:14,934
that we want our staff to not worry about everything else

2105
01:42:14,934 --> 01:42:17,934
that happens in life because within those classrooms

2106
01:42:17,934 --> 01:42:19,033
or within the work they do,

2107
01:42:19,433 --> 01:42:20,867
that's where the real work happens.

2108
01:42:21,133 --> 01:42:23,934
And if they're worried about can I get this appointment

2109
01:42:23,934 --> 01:42:26,333
scheduled for my child, can I get in myself?

2110
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,066
That's where that wellness clinic comes into play.

2111
01:42:29,066 --> 01:42:31,333
And then all of the other benefits that we try to provide

2112
01:42:31,467 --> 01:42:33,500
so people do stay here and feel supported.

2113
01:42:35,433 --> 01:42:39,700
Thanks. And then again, when we think about development,

2114
01:42:40,066 --> 01:42:41,500
we're thinking about the onboarding

2115
01:42:41,533 --> 01:42:44,000
but we're also thinking about really aligned professional

2116
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:45,433
development, professional growth.

2117
01:42:46,834 --> 01:42:51,166
And we align, like we have a strategic plan.

2118
01:42:51,367 --> 01:42:53,900
So when we think about a professional development which is

2119
01:42:54,033 --> 01:42:57,667
in the oe, I would say a hundred percent is aligned.

2120
01:42:58,734 --> 01:43:01,133
I think the next step for us is really making sure

2121
01:43:01,133 --> 01:43:04,300
that it comes with the outcome that we want it to have.

2122
01:43:04,533 --> 01:43:06,900
Like we can, I always say we can teach,

2123
01:43:07,634 --> 01:43:10,066
it's like a teacher when you're in a classroom you can teach

2124
01:43:10,100 --> 01:43:12,467
all the concepts but if they walk out the door

2125
01:43:13,033 --> 01:43:14,533
and they don't know what you just taught,

2126
01:43:15,634 --> 01:43:17,066
it wasn't successful.

2127
01:43:17,433 --> 01:43:18,467
And I think that's what we have

2128
01:43:18,467 --> 01:43:20,634
to think about when we think about developing our people

2129
01:43:22,433 --> 01:43:25,033
evidence in the middle you can again see a compliance

2130
01:43:25,033 --> 01:43:27,467
measure that's about certification requirements

2131
01:43:28,066 --> 01:43:31,433
because people aren't just certified from the time they step

2132
01:43:31,433 --> 01:43:34,767
in, they have things they have to do to get lifetime

2133
01:43:35,734 --> 01:43:38,533
licenses, whatever it might be in the role they do.

2134
01:43:39,900 --> 01:43:41,500
So you're gonna see again a hundred percent

2135
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,133
that is a compliance measure that we continue

2136
01:43:44,133 --> 01:43:45,066
to push for in development.

2137
01:43:46,100 --> 01:43:47,667
The other pieces that we've put into place

2138
01:43:47,667 --> 01:43:52,066
for an employee engagement standpoint is we use Gallup.

2139
01:43:53,900 --> 01:43:56,467
Gallup is an organization that kind of has created a lot

2140
01:43:56,467 --> 01:43:57,867
of work around employee engagement.

2141
01:43:57,867 --> 01:43:59,100
So we use some of their concepts

2142
01:43:59,667 --> 01:44:01,266
and we've added different questions

2143
01:44:01,266 --> 01:44:04,066
and employee engagement that are specific around development

2144
01:44:05,100 --> 01:44:06,533
and that, you know, we want 'em

2145
01:44:06,533 --> 01:44:08,767
to feel like they have opportunities to grow.

2146
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,634
You know, in the end if you want to develop yourself,

2147
01:44:12,834 --> 01:44:14,033
it is you have just

2148
01:44:14,033 --> 01:44:15,934
as much responsibility to make that choice.

2149
01:44:16,667 --> 01:44:19,300
But we have to have those opportunities there that are easy

2150
01:44:19,367 --> 01:44:22,266
to, to gravitate towards and actually grow yourself.

2151
01:44:23,266 --> 01:44:27,000
And then the third one, to me, I always feel like this one

2152
01:44:27,734 --> 01:44:30,266
spans all three buckets of retention,

2153
01:44:30,333 --> 01:44:31,634
recruitment and development.

2154
01:44:32,634 --> 01:44:35,700
When you look at 77.8% of employees agree,

2155
01:44:35,700 --> 01:44:37,100
they receive meaningful feedback

2156
01:44:37,100 --> 01:44:38,500
that help them grow and improve work.

2157
01:44:39,834 --> 01:44:42,834
If I could personally set just one goal

2158
01:44:42,934 --> 01:44:45,066
and that's it for human resources or

2159
01:44:45,367 --> 01:44:49,467
or just engaging employees feedback would would be it.

2160
01:44:50,066 --> 01:44:53,100
Because when people see that their supervisors

2161
01:44:53,100 --> 01:44:54,700
and their colleagues aren't taking the time

2162
01:44:54,700 --> 01:44:56,233
to give them again both critical

2163
01:44:56,233 --> 01:44:59,033
and positive feedback, they know that they're valued

2164
01:44:59,033 --> 01:45:00,767
and they feel, they feel connected

2165
01:45:01,634 --> 01:45:03,867
from a recruitment standpoint and they go out

2166
01:45:03,867 --> 01:45:05,533
and talk to colleagues from other districts

2167
01:45:05,533 --> 01:45:06,834
and say, oh my gosh, you know I

2168
01:45:06,834 --> 01:45:07,934
get this feedback all the time.

2169
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,300
I know I'm growing all the time 'cause people care about me.

2170
01:45:10,433 --> 01:45:12,867
Those people end up coming and and wanting to be a part.

2171
01:45:13,266 --> 01:45:16,000
So that to me is one of the pieces that I

2172
01:45:16,634 --> 01:45:18,033
have really put on a high level.

2173
01:45:18,233 --> 01:45:19,467
And I think our team does too

2174
01:45:19,467 --> 01:45:21,567
and we try to work through our evaluation systems

2175
01:45:22,133 --> 01:45:23,500
but that's just a baseline.

2176
01:45:23,667 --> 01:45:26,066
It's more about that day to day like get out there

2177
01:45:26,066 --> 01:45:28,533
and talk to your people 'cause they, they want that

2178
01:45:29,667 --> 01:45:31,467
from a future state for development.

2179
01:45:31,467 --> 01:45:33,367
Again aligned professional development,

2180
01:45:34,133 --> 01:45:36,100
performance improvement through

2181
01:45:38,367 --> 01:45:40,734
it's coherent employee development system.

2182
01:45:40,900 --> 01:45:43,533
But again, it's not just about the formal professional

2183
01:45:43,533 --> 01:45:47,533
developments that day to day supervisor, colleagues talking

2184
01:45:47,567 --> 01:45:48,700
to one another and really

2185
01:45:48,700 --> 01:45:50,000
providing that feedback to one another.

2186
01:45:53,033 --> 01:45:57,266
Is that it? Alright so as we kind of go through this,

2187
01:45:58,033 --> 01:45:59,934
I'll turn it all back over to Jewel.

2188
01:46:00,066 --> 01:46:04,000
But one thing that I want to talk about is I think the,

2189
01:46:04,066 --> 01:46:07,000
there's a lot of terms again in both OE and

2190
01:46:07,066 --> 01:46:10,166
or that from a community standpoint you're not like

2191
01:46:10,867 --> 01:46:13,133
in an organization really in human resources

2192
01:46:13,133 --> 01:46:14,767
and you get really confusing and and

2193
01:46:15,133 --> 01:46:16,233
and you don't understand it

2194
01:46:17,066 --> 01:46:20,000
because you just don't talk that way all day.

2195
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,000
So it is our job I think as a committee

2196
01:46:23,033 --> 01:46:25,367
that probably our next steps is really looking at the terms

2197
01:46:25,367 --> 01:46:26,533
that are involved in all those

2198
01:46:26,634 --> 01:46:28,433
and making sure that people know

2199
01:46:28,433 --> 01:46:30,000
what we're actually saying to 'em.

2200
01:46:32,834 --> 01:46:35,533
- Yeah, so like Chris was saying, our next steps really are

2201
01:46:35,533 --> 01:46:39,133
to take this overarching umbrella that we've presented

2202
01:46:39,133 --> 01:46:40,433
to you, get your feedback

2203
01:46:40,634 --> 01:46:43,000
and then bring forth kind of that next layer

2204
01:46:43,233 --> 01:46:45,133
after we have our next committee meeting

2205
01:46:45,133 --> 01:46:46,867
and then bringing forth, you know,

2206
01:46:47,100 --> 01:46:48,367
here are the defined terms,

2207
01:46:48,867 --> 01:46:51,000
here are our focus areas for the year.

2208
01:46:52,066 --> 01:46:53,533
Building up those major fees

2209
01:46:53,567 --> 01:46:55,934
that are already in the monitoring reports

2210
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:59,233
and sticking those under our overarching three buckets.

2211
01:47:00,100 --> 01:47:02,100
You know, some things we're really gonna deep

2212
01:47:03,133 --> 01:47:05,767
dive deep into relate to, again going back to that,

2213
01:47:05,767 --> 01:47:07,066
that quality concept

2214
01:47:07,634 --> 01:47:10,700
and taking more of a holistic approach as far

2215
01:47:10,700 --> 01:47:12,767
as making sure, you know, when we're going out

2216
01:47:12,767 --> 01:47:14,734
and we're recruiting and we're looking to retain

2217
01:47:14,734 --> 01:47:19,133
and develop, we're focused not only on you know, licensure

2218
01:47:19,433 --> 01:47:22,533
and are you on, you know, in the right seat so to speak.

2219
01:47:22,634 --> 01:47:25,500
But also you know, what is the character

2220
01:47:25,500 --> 01:47:27,066
that you bring to our district?

2221
01:47:27,233 --> 01:47:28,867
How do you do, how do you align

2222
01:47:28,867 --> 01:47:30,300
with our mission, vision and values?

2223
01:47:31,767 --> 01:47:33,467
What are some of the other components?

2224
01:47:33,634 --> 01:47:34,934
How do you connect with kids?

2225
01:47:35,166 --> 01:47:37,834
How do you align with the representation

2226
01:47:37,900 --> 01:47:39,300
that we have within the district?

2227
01:47:39,333 --> 01:47:41,634
So we're really trying to take, you know, that

2228
01:47:41,867 --> 01:47:44,266
that very narrow approach that a lot

2229
01:47:44,333 --> 01:47:46,500
of districts would take related to, you know,

2230
01:47:46,500 --> 01:47:49,000
you have the appropriate licensing and sometimes you don't

2231
01:47:49,233 --> 01:47:51,033
and you know, putting them in the right spot.

2232
01:47:51,033 --> 01:47:53,734
But we again wanna take that holistic approach

2233
01:47:53,900 --> 01:47:57,033
and really focus on the individual, what they bring

2234
01:47:57,033 --> 01:48:00,333
to the table, but then also develop that even further

2235
01:48:00,500 --> 01:48:02,033
to move our district forward.

2236
01:48:04,066 --> 01:48:06,033
What questions do you have

2237
01:48:06,100 --> 01:48:07,100
- For - Us?

2238
01:48:09,533 --> 01:48:11,533
- Yeah, Stankey so much for all of that

2239
01:48:12,667 --> 01:48:14,734
and just the foundation set.

2240
01:48:14,900 --> 01:48:16,767
Kind of where this falls in regard to some

2241
01:48:16,767 --> 01:48:18,367
of the other presentations we've had tonight.

2242
01:48:18,667 --> 01:48:19,834
Mostly for the community,

2243
01:48:20,033 --> 01:48:21,100
I know the board already knows this,

2244
01:48:21,166 --> 01:48:24,767
but our two main priorities that the board set this year

2245
01:48:25,834 --> 01:48:27,734
were to work on portrait of a graduate

2246
01:48:27,734 --> 01:48:30,634
and then to establish a clear superintendent evaluation

2247
01:48:30,634 --> 01:48:32,033
process for Dr. Reed.

2248
01:48:32,300 --> 01:48:35,567
Acknowledging that based on the way our system works,

2249
01:48:35,834 --> 01:48:37,734
we can't hold him accountable for the results

2250
01:48:37,734 --> 01:48:39,467
of last year's data when he wasn't here.

2251
01:48:39,500 --> 01:48:43,266
So that's one of the, the goal of this conversation is just

2252
01:48:43,266 --> 01:48:46,133
to make sure that with all the new leadership we have in

2253
01:48:46,133 --> 01:48:48,100
place, both on the board and in the administration,

2254
01:48:48,166 --> 01:48:51,467
that we have really clear shared definitions of what we mean

2255
01:48:51,567 --> 01:48:55,266
by the word success in this case regarding human resources.

2256
01:48:55,266 --> 01:48:58,033
So that in the coming year the right data is gathered so

2257
01:48:58,033 --> 01:49:01,100
that next year when we bring this report forward in full,

2258
01:49:01,934 --> 01:49:04,033
we have already proactively agreed on

2259
01:49:04,033 --> 01:49:05,000
what it is we're looking for.

2260
01:49:05,033 --> 01:49:07,934
So that's the goal of this conversation tonight is

2261
01:49:07,934 --> 01:49:11,066
to set those clear understandings and expectations.

2262
01:49:12,066 --> 01:49:14,500
And just before we dive in, we're about two hours in

2263
01:49:14,500 --> 01:49:16,467
so I just wanna look around 'cause this is important.

2264
01:49:16,734 --> 01:49:19,500
Does anyone need like a five minute break

2265
01:49:19,700 --> 01:49:21,233
before we dive into kind

2266
01:49:21,233 --> 01:49:23,000
of potentially a deeper conversation?

2267
01:49:24,467 --> 01:49:25,734
- I could afford a restroom break.

2268
01:49:26,133 --> 01:49:29,634
- Yeah, maybe let's come back at like 8 0 5

2269
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:32,066
and students always like, we love having you here

2270
01:49:32,066 --> 01:49:35,634
and also if you need to be rested for school, don't feel

2271
01:49:35,767 --> 01:49:37,000
that you must stay.

2272
01:49:37,133 --> 01:49:38,567
We could always front load your comments

2273
01:49:38,700 --> 01:49:39,734
on this if you have any.

2274
01:49:39,734 --> 01:49:42,934
And then let you, I'm not saying to, I'm just saying

2275
01:49:43,433 --> 01:49:45,100
we respect your time and your rest.

2276
01:49:45,300 --> 01:49:47,000
Does that make sense? Okay.

2277
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:49,100
So we'll come back at 8 0 5 and then we'll dive in.

2278
01:49:49,100 --> 01:49:50,467
Is that okay? All right.

2279
01:50:06,834 --> 01:50:10,900
Alright. Okay.

2280
01:50:11,033 --> 01:50:13,133
So Stankey Chris for your patience,

2281
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:15,133
you gave us a lovely introduction and we pause

2282
01:50:15,300 --> 01:50:16,834
but Stankey for your patience

2283
01:50:16,834 --> 01:50:19,433
and also Stankey for just being the first one, willing

2284
01:50:19,433 --> 01:50:22,166
to dive into this journey that we're gonna go

2285
01:50:22,166 --> 01:50:23,867
through this fall of making sure

2286
01:50:23,867 --> 01:50:25,266
that we're all on the same page about

2287
01:50:25,266 --> 01:50:28,033
expectations for our policies.

2288
01:50:28,066 --> 01:50:31,333
So I think Melissa, you're trying to go first with any

2289
01:50:32,100 --> 01:50:33,567
comments or questions you might have.

2290
01:50:37,033 --> 01:50:39,367
- I am still processing a lot of it

2291
01:50:39,467 --> 01:50:44,000
but I, I think the terminology, I think that's a good

2292
01:50:44,767 --> 01:50:49,033
thing to just make the language that we use more accessible

2293
01:50:49,033 --> 01:50:53,000
so that when people are watching they understand

2294
01:50:53,467 --> 01:50:55,367
you know exactly what it is we're talking about

2295
01:50:55,433 --> 01:50:59,100
and so that there's just better understanding all around.

2296
01:50:59,166 --> 01:51:02,667
I think that's a great, great thing to focus on

2297
01:51:05,066 --> 01:51:06,367
and I, I thought those things

2298
01:51:06,367 --> 01:51:08,500
that you had flagged were very interesting about like ideas

2299
01:51:08,500 --> 01:51:11,300
and opinions being considered that was very interesting.

2300
01:51:12,233 --> 01:51:15,066
And then the meaningful feedback for employees, I also

2301
01:51:15,533 --> 01:51:16,567
think that's important.

2302
01:51:16,700 --> 01:51:20,100
So I appreciated you calling that out.

2303
01:51:24,500 --> 01:51:27,567
Yeah, I, I think, I think you said this somewhere in there,

2304
01:51:27,567 --> 01:51:32,300
it was like the staff progress as well

2305
01:51:32,300 --> 01:51:35,066
as student progress and I, I do like that approach

2306
01:51:35,066 --> 01:51:37,433
because we know that the staff like

2307
01:51:37,433 --> 01:51:40,500
that's the most impactful thing on the student's learning is

2308
01:51:40,734 --> 01:51:42,433
is the EDUCATOR who's in front of 'em.

2309
01:51:42,900 --> 01:51:45,533
So we should be focused on student results

2310
01:51:45,533 --> 01:51:48,100
but we also should be focused on staff.

2311
01:51:49,433 --> 01:51:51,867
So I think that's like the direction

2312
01:51:52,100 --> 01:51:53,100
that it seems like we're headed

2313
01:51:53,133 --> 01:51:57,133
and that's what, that's what I would like to see

2314
01:51:57,133 --> 01:51:58,734
for this like area.

2315
01:52:00,734 --> 01:52:02,767
That's all for now. Stankey,

2316
01:52:05,734 --> 01:52:07,000
- I don't have any questions

2317
01:52:07,033 --> 01:52:09,667
but I do really appreciate like the visuals

2318
01:52:09,667 --> 01:52:11,266
that you have on this side 'cause it made it really

2319
01:52:12,100 --> 01:52:14,734
a lot easier to digest the information that I'm reading.

2320
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:16,333
So Stankey,

2321
01:52:20,233 --> 01:52:21,233
- I agree with Frankie.

2322
01:52:21,233 --> 01:52:23,066
I think the visualization is really great,

2323
01:52:24,033 --> 01:52:27,467
especially I think our current monitoring reports are really

2324
01:52:27,467 --> 01:52:32,300
hard to read and if they're being used as an implementation

2325
01:52:32,433 --> 01:52:35,367
to communicate with the public in a way that's not,

2326
01:52:35,734 --> 01:52:38,000
it's not user friendly, it's never been user friendly

2327
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:39,100
but I feel like we've never been

2328
01:52:39,100 --> 01:52:40,266
able to break out of that mold.

2329
01:52:40,266 --> 01:52:43,033
So I appreciate this very different way of looking at it.

2330
01:52:43,100 --> 01:52:45,000
And also I feel like this does really

2331
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,066
touch on all the things that we want to know

2332
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:51,033
and like how do we know that the work

2333
01:52:51,033 --> 01:52:54,000
that we're doing is actually generating outcomes,

2334
01:52:54,133 --> 01:52:57,533
which I think is really important while still also covering

2335
01:52:57,533 --> 01:52:58,767
the compliance part of it.

2336
01:52:58,767 --> 01:53:01,233
Which is like are you still doing all the things

2337
01:53:01,233 --> 01:53:02,934
that you're supposed to be doing that everybody's

2338
01:53:02,934 --> 01:53:04,100
asking are we doing that?

2339
01:53:04,266 --> 01:53:07,734
Yes. But all of those things that we're doing then

2340
01:53:08,133 --> 01:53:13,100
feed into, we've got a had a 91%, 98 point,

2341
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,266
91.8% retention of professional educators last year.

2342
01:53:16,266 --> 01:53:17,934
Like that's I think huge.

2343
01:53:18,367 --> 01:53:22,700
So it's good to see like that kind of stuff built.

2344
01:53:22,834 --> 01:53:24,000
So I appreciate this.

2345
01:53:24,467 --> 01:53:26,266
I don't know if this is what the monitoring report is gonna

2346
01:53:26,266 --> 01:53:29,700
look at, but the visualization of it is like great.

2347
01:53:32,834 --> 01:53:34,100
- Yeah, I think I just have to agree.

2348
01:53:34,300 --> 01:53:36,333
I think I'm really grateful for like the visualization

2349
01:53:36,433 --> 01:53:38,867
of it all because even when I kind of got lost,

2350
01:53:38,867 --> 01:53:41,233
like it was easy to just like move myself back into it.

2351
01:53:41,367 --> 01:53:42,467
So Stankey,

2352
01:53:47,500 --> 01:53:50,934
- I like the buckets

2353
01:53:50,934 --> 01:53:52,500
that you guys have identified

2354
01:53:52,700 --> 01:53:54,734
of recruitment, retention and development.

2355
01:53:58,133 --> 01:54:00,767
I don't know if I just missed this

2356
01:54:01,133 --> 01:54:04,834
or if it was explicitly stated or not.

2357
01:54:05,667 --> 01:54:08,934
So some of the center columns, not on this,

2358
01:54:10,834 --> 01:54:12,734
not on this screen but on some

2359
01:54:12,734 --> 01:54:16,467
of the other ones not big deal said like our, our baseline

2360
01:54:16,834 --> 01:54:19,100
and our evidence is that

2361
01:54:21,333 --> 01:54:25,000
the are are those the metrics that we intend to monitor

2362
01:54:25,700 --> 01:54:27,934
on the mon monitoring report

2363
01:54:32,066 --> 01:54:33,066
- Question?

2364
01:54:33,433 --> 01:54:35,133
- Those are ones that we've used in the past

2365
01:54:35,667 --> 01:54:37,934
and I, I would say that you'll probably see

2366
01:54:37,934 --> 01:54:39,000
some similar ones.

2367
01:54:39,100 --> 01:54:40,533
I mean like retention is retention.

2368
01:54:41,100 --> 01:54:43,266
I don't think we would shy away from that.

2369
01:54:43,467 --> 01:54:46,767
I think what you'll probably see more is maybe a little bit

2370
01:54:46,767 --> 01:54:48,266
more of the engagement survey because

2371
01:54:48,266 --> 01:54:50,367
before we were pretty much using I think only

2372
01:54:50,367 --> 01:54:51,467
two questions off it.

2373
01:54:52,934 --> 01:54:54,500
I think you'll probably see a little bit more of

2374
01:54:54,567 --> 01:54:58,000
that in the result policy you expect the

2375
01:54:58,934 --> 01:55:01,867
OE is a little, I mean it's pretty straightforward.

2376
01:55:02,033 --> 01:55:04,033
I think there's some things that we could probably make

2377
01:55:04,133 --> 01:55:06,567
clearer to the board and the community

2378
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:08,634
and like how we word our measures.

2379
01:55:08,700 --> 01:55:10,867
But the measures are, you know,

2380
01:55:11,100 --> 01:55:12,233
did you do background checks?

2381
01:55:12,433 --> 01:55:15,300
It's you kind of can't, it's what it's

2382
01:55:16,700 --> 01:55:18,100
but the ORs, these are just

2383
01:55:18,100 --> 01:55:19,567
examples of what we used in the past.

2384
01:55:19,734 --> 01:55:23,233
Some you'll probably see in some might be a little different

2385
01:55:23,233 --> 01:55:24,767
because we'll probably use a little bit more

2386
01:55:24,767 --> 01:55:25,867
engagement survey work.

2387
01:55:28,667 --> 01:55:30,867
- So ultimately what we kind of do is

2388
01:55:31,467 --> 01:55:33,033
we wanna take the metrics, some

2389
01:55:33,033 --> 01:55:35,266
of them have you know 34, 35 metrics

2390
01:55:35,500 --> 01:55:37,467
and what we wanna do is we wanna really

2391
01:55:38,333 --> 01:55:40,000
broaden those in terms

2392
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:43,567
of looking at do those metrics fall under our which bucket

2393
01:55:44,100 --> 01:55:47,333
and then have those metrics fill like funnel up

2394
01:55:47,834 --> 01:55:50,233
and give us an overall kind of evidence related

2395
01:55:50,266 --> 01:55:54,333
to here's our average of our evidence related

2396
01:55:54,367 --> 01:55:57,100
to recruitment development and retention.

2397
01:55:57,266 --> 01:56:00,634
So you'll still see the monitoring it just the metrics

2398
01:56:01,433 --> 01:56:05,066
are gonna be kind of packaged differently to allow for

2399
01:56:05,934 --> 01:56:08,700
a broader interpretation related to those three buckets.

2400
01:56:08,700 --> 01:56:11,133
Does that make sense? I know it's late.

2401
01:56:11,133 --> 01:56:15,066
You're probably like about No

2402
01:56:16,867 --> 01:56:17,934
- That did not make sense.

2403
01:56:18,133 --> 01:56:23,033
I'm what so so we're gonna get like one number

2404
01:56:23,133 --> 01:56:24,266
for retention is what

2405
01:56:24,266 --> 01:56:25,266
- You're saying.

2406
01:56:25,266 --> 01:56:27,367
So the goal is to factor all those, like

2407
01:56:27,367 --> 01:56:29,066
what Chris was saying a hundred percent,

2408
01:56:29,700 --> 01:56:31,467
you know a hundred percent for background checks.

2409
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:33,567
Well that's something

2410
01:56:33,567 --> 01:56:36,000
that's good practice doesn't necessarily need to be one

2411
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:38,500
of the metrics under recruitment.

2412
01:56:38,500 --> 01:56:41,567
So that's why if we take all of those percentages

2413
01:56:42,133 --> 01:56:44,066
and kind of develop a baseline

2414
01:56:44,133 --> 01:56:47,767
and say you know, according to our attention strategies

2415
01:56:48,533 --> 01:56:51,066
we're at you know 75%

2416
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:53,500
and then our goal is to move up to 80 or something.

2417
01:56:53,667 --> 01:56:55,767
We just, there's so many metrics

2418
01:56:56,066 --> 01:56:57,634
and we wanna kind of divide out

2419
01:56:58,000 --> 01:56:59,934
what strategic planning looks like

2420
01:57:00,066 --> 01:57:01,567
and that implementation component

2421
01:57:02,066 --> 01:57:07,033
but then what our high level strategies related

2422
01:57:07,066 --> 01:57:08,467
to again those three buckets.

2423
01:57:08,467 --> 01:57:11,033
So again it's all gonna be there, it's just going

2424
01:57:11,033 --> 01:57:12,100
to be packaged differently.

2425
01:57:13,834 --> 01:57:17,333
I don't know Dr. Reed if you wanna speak to more that

2426
01:57:20,266 --> 01:57:21,333
- No I think you explained it.

2427
01:57:21,700 --> 01:57:24,634
We're just have, we can't put all those documents in a way

2428
01:57:24,834 --> 01:57:26,233
all those measurables in a way

2429
01:57:26,233 --> 01:57:28,634
that's not understandable simply like bags,

2430
01:57:28,634 --> 01:57:30,033
however everything is still there.

2431
01:57:30,033 --> 01:57:31,734
There are other subcategories

2432
01:57:32,066 --> 01:57:33,700
but there're just housed in different spaces

2433
01:57:33,734 --> 01:57:35,000
that are easier to understand.

2434
01:57:35,333 --> 01:57:37,300
So what this this team is going to do

2435
01:57:37,934 --> 01:57:40,867
is place the all those other measurables under those three

2436
01:57:40,900 --> 01:57:42,834
buckets so they're easier to understand

2437
01:57:42,867 --> 01:57:44,066
and they're visually able

2438
01:57:44,066 --> 01:57:45,700
to be app appealing to our community.

2439
01:57:45,700 --> 01:57:48,100
They're not gonna want to see all those deeper

2440
01:57:48,133 --> 01:57:51,066
sub-categories unless they understand 'em as they packages,

2441
01:57:51,433 --> 01:57:53,266
as they're packaged under one of the three.

2442
01:57:53,700 --> 01:57:54,767
That's what we're trying to say.

2443
01:57:55,634 --> 01:57:56,767
- I think it add that it's also,

2444
01:57:57,533 --> 01:58:00,100
I think the way you're trying to explain the repacking is a

2445
01:58:00,100 --> 01:58:01,500
better way to tell the story.

2446
01:58:01,900 --> 01:58:05,767
Yes. So rather than just saying here's a, here's six pages

2447
01:58:06,333 --> 01:58:08,367
of data, some of it's repeat, repeat, repeat.

2448
01:58:08,367 --> 01:58:10,000
We're gonna say okay we have retention,

2449
01:58:10,433 --> 01:58:12,066
here's all the data we put in there

2450
01:58:12,266 --> 01:58:14,033
but here's why it matters.

2451
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:17,934
Here's the, here's where we see progress,

2452
01:58:18,133 --> 01:58:19,133
here's where we don't.

2453
01:58:19,133 --> 01:58:22,033
And it's, it is the look where lot is being able to tell

2454
01:58:22,500 --> 01:58:24,767
kind of taking a tagline from the communications committee,

2455
01:58:24,767 --> 01:58:26,367
sorry guys is communicating

2456
01:58:26,367 --> 01:58:29,066
that story better rather than just throwing data

2457
01:58:29,467 --> 01:58:31,000
but putting them in buckets

2458
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:33,567
and kind of wrapping them in a way so you understand why

2459
01:58:33,567 --> 01:58:36,567
that data matters and its impact either positive

2460
01:58:36,567 --> 01:58:38,033
or negative under that certain bucket

2461
01:58:38,467 --> 01:58:40,000
and how we're gonna grow within that

2462
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,266
and keep developing that is what kind of where we went,

2463
01:58:42,266 --> 01:58:45,100
we were talking about that if that helps.

2464
01:58:47,100 --> 01:58:52,033
- But are we still gonna have predefined data

2465
01:58:53,233 --> 01:58:55,433
metrics that we're looking at?

2466
01:58:56,000 --> 01:59:01,000
Like we've identified these as metrics that we're looking at

2467
01:59:02,734 --> 01:59:07,634
to say how recruitment is going?

2468
01:59:08,133 --> 01:59:10,100
Or is that

2469
01:59:11,467 --> 01:59:13,700
- I again, I don't want to speak too much

2470
01:59:13,767 --> 01:59:18,300
but like Mr, when we think about like

2471
01:59:18,533 --> 01:59:21,266
I'm right now I'm just looking at terms like that's kind of

2472
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:24,767
as people are talking like the O way four,

2473
01:59:25,133 --> 01:59:26,233
the statements are there.

2474
01:59:26,934 --> 01:59:28,133
Like when you really think,

2475
01:59:28,634 --> 01:59:31,367
'cause I don't think our charge is to change statements.

2476
01:59:31,367 --> 01:59:32,634
Like that's not our job.

2477
01:59:32,834 --> 01:59:37,367
So the way I look at it is maybe to Dr. Reed's point is

2478
01:59:51,166 --> 01:59:56,066
- The district first through federal background inquiries

2479
01:59:56,066 --> 01:59:58,000
and checks that's there.

2480
01:59:58,433 --> 02:00:00,767
That's not, we're not looking to change that

2481
02:00:00,834 --> 02:00:03,266
but we're gonna need to measure some within those three

2482
02:00:03,300 --> 02:00:05,433
buckets to show that that's capital.

2483
02:00:06,367 --> 02:00:07,667
Does that make sense?

2484
02:00:08,100 --> 02:00:09,900
Because we're still gonna have to address it

2485
02:00:10,634 --> 02:00:11,934
and show that we're measuring it.

2486
02:00:17,066 --> 02:00:20,433
Yeah. So yes.

2487
02:00:20,500 --> 02:00:23,667
So we'll have to be because that's, I think that's the point

2488
02:00:23,667 --> 02:00:26,033
of bringing clarity to the superintendent evaluation

2489
02:00:26,767 --> 02:00:28,166
is really gonna be on those three buckets.

2490
02:00:28,166 --> 02:00:31,634
Here's a measure that match whatever bucket we choose to put

2491
02:00:31,634 --> 02:00:34,100
that measurement within also matches

2492
02:00:34,634 --> 02:00:37,734
a statement somewhere in the whole or Right.

2493
02:00:37,867 --> 02:00:40,867
Okay. Great. Okay.

2494
02:00:42,233 --> 02:00:43,367
I think it'll make sense.

2495
02:00:44,033 --> 02:00:48,266
It'll, once I see an actual draft of it, I think, okay.

2496
02:00:48,266 --> 02:00:49,500
Yeah. Okay.

2497
02:00:53,900 --> 02:00:56,133
Sorry the, I I did want to say

2498
02:00:57,266 --> 02:00:58,867
I think Melissa had already said this,

2499
02:00:58,867 --> 02:01:01,100
but I'll just, I'm glad to see

2500
02:01:01,100 --> 02:01:03,467
that we're making a concerted effort to ensure

2501
02:01:03,467 --> 02:01:05,634
that employees are feeling heard

2502
02:01:05,634 --> 02:01:08,166
and that their opinions are actually considered.

2503
02:01:08,634 --> 02:01:10,467
So I appreciated that.

2504
02:01:14,433 --> 02:01:18,734
One question we had was around our retention number

2505
02:01:19,066 --> 02:01:22,433
and I'm wondering if you can, if this is the space,

2506
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:26,700
I dunno you could tell me if it's not to, to speak to how

2507
02:01:26,700 --> 02:01:28,500
that retention number is calculated

2508
02:01:28,500 --> 02:01:31,667
because I don't think it's just,

2509
02:01:32,734 --> 02:01:35,500
it's not simply people out.

2510
02:01:39,834 --> 02:01:42,834
Yeah if you look at the how the o we, sorry

2511
02:01:43,233 --> 02:01:45,000
or is written itself in

2512
02:01:46,066 --> 02:01:48,333
like when we define your retention in the past,

2513
02:01:48,567 --> 02:01:51,033
we don't include terminations, retire

2514
02:01:52,533 --> 02:01:54,266
resignations in of termination.

2515
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:57,100
And the reason, and that's pretty typical like

2516
02:01:57,634 --> 02:02:01,100
because what that is is it's like we are choosing

2517
02:02:02,433 --> 02:02:05,266
for the person to leave in a way

2518
02:02:05,834 --> 02:02:08,266
and then retirement we want people to retire.

2519
02:02:08,867 --> 02:02:10,300
So it's like you don't want to hold

2520
02:02:10,300 --> 02:02:13,033
that against the superintendent to say like, you know,

2521
02:02:14,567 --> 02:02:17,033
'cause you want people to retire if they're retiring

2522
02:02:17,066 --> 02:02:18,867
or that means they stayed here for a long time

2523
02:02:18,900 --> 02:02:21,934
and that's great and that typically

2524
02:02:23,300 --> 02:02:26,233
you can look at it like from a attrition level or retention,

2525
02:02:26,300 --> 02:02:27,934
but that's how we define retention.

2526
02:02:28,100 --> 02:02:29,433
And that's typical for like

2527
02:02:29,433 --> 02:02:32,467
how other districts also define it for the same reason.

2528
02:02:32,734 --> 02:02:36,834
A lot of 'em don't use this type of like the ORs to

2529
02:02:38,467 --> 02:02:41,900
evaluate the superintendent, but they do provide information

2530
02:02:41,900 --> 02:02:46,000
to their community and typically they remove like those type

2531
02:02:46,066 --> 02:02:49,333
ones where it's either good from a retirement standpoint

2532
02:02:49,367 --> 02:02:53,433
or like the employers actually choosing for the employee

2533
02:02:53,667 --> 02:02:55,900
to not be a part of the organization anymore.

2534
02:02:58,333 --> 02:03:01,133
Stankey. And then last thing I just wanted to

2535
02:03:03,867 --> 02:03:08,133
mention for consideration is like I think

2536
02:03:08,166 --> 02:03:12,567
that some of the baseline data

2537
02:03:12,700 --> 02:03:16,300
that you looked at for consideration

2538
02:03:17,133 --> 02:03:19,000
is interesting and good.

2539
02:03:20,333 --> 02:03:25,100
I wonder if it would be worth reaching out to our staff

2540
02:03:25,433 --> 02:03:27,333
to identify what's important to them

2541
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:32,166
and potentially

2542
02:03:34,066 --> 02:03:38,300
monitoring that rather than us identifying

2543
02:03:39,233 --> 02:03:43,500
what we think, you know,

2544
02:03:44,100 --> 02:03:46,433
keeps retains people or recruits people.

2545
02:03:47,834 --> 02:03:48,700
Does that make sense?

2546
02:03:52,300 --> 02:03:53,734
Anybody can say anything

2547
02:03:53,867 --> 02:03:57,000
but the, what I look at that's not the strategy part.

2548
02:03:57,133 --> 02:04:01,133
Like what this is is really the this the reporting part,

2549
02:04:01,233 --> 02:04:03,700
like this is how whatever we're doing

2550
02:04:03,767 --> 02:04:04,934
is creating this outcome.

2551
02:04:06,333 --> 02:04:09,567
So I don't, I mean that's what we would want

2552
02:04:09,567 --> 02:04:10,734
to look at from the outcomes.

2553
02:04:10,834 --> 02:04:13,567
If they're not what we want, we would go back

2554
02:04:13,567 --> 02:04:16,000
to our strategies and say what strategy is either

2555
02:04:16,500 --> 02:04:17,734
not working the way it should

2556
02:04:18,033 --> 02:04:19,700
or should we add something else in?

2557
02:04:19,834 --> 02:04:21,634
And that's where we end up

2558
02:04:22,300 --> 02:04:24,133
is a little bit more than we would about

2559
02:04:24,133 --> 02:04:25,734
measure itself I guess.

2560
02:04:26,066 --> 02:04:27,934
I dunno if that makes sense. Yeah,

2561
02:04:28,100 --> 02:04:29,867
it it does make sense I think,

2562
02:04:31,734 --> 02:04:33,834
I think I'm maybe just getting tripped up on

2563
02:04:37,700 --> 02:04:40,266
us explicitly calling out this evidence

2564
02:04:45,734 --> 02:04:50,266
as, as what I'm seeing as places that we want

2565
02:04:50,266 --> 02:04:51,500
to grow.

2566
02:04:55,734 --> 02:04:57,133
I don't know. I give up somebody else

2567
02:04:57,133 --> 02:04:59,567
will Stankey for your time.

2568
02:05:03,033 --> 02:05:06,634
I I do think that's a good, the conversation is good

2569
02:05:06,634 --> 02:05:09,333
because what you're doing is these are outcomes.

2570
02:05:09,667 --> 02:05:12,033
What you're talking about is how we get to those outcomes

2571
02:05:12,300 --> 02:05:14,433
and that that is an important conversation.

2572
02:05:15,133 --> 02:05:17,033
'cause you know you can measure all you want

2573
02:05:17,233 --> 02:05:19,834
but you don't have as chance to get what you want.

2574
02:05:20,033 --> 02:05:24,734
Doesn't probably matter if I can jump,

2575
02:05:25,033 --> 02:05:26,934
were you asking if these are the right outcomes?

2576
02:05:27,734 --> 02:05:30,266
That's what I was hearing you say is like are we capturing,

2577
02:05:30,266 --> 02:05:31,700
like are we measuring the outcomes

2578
02:05:31,700 --> 02:05:33,166
that our staff cared most about?

2579
02:05:33,734 --> 02:05:35,867
Was what I was hearing your question as.

2580
02:05:38,133 --> 02:05:39,367
'cause potentially there's an outcome

2581
02:05:39,367 --> 02:05:43,533
that they would really care about that we aren't aware of.

2582
02:05:43,900 --> 02:05:45,767
Super measuring True.

2583
02:05:46,033 --> 02:05:49,767
And I think that they're probably, again like the purpose

2584
02:05:49,867 --> 02:05:51,667
behind OE is on all an

2585
02:05:51,867 --> 02:05:54,500
or is like what's the purpose is

2586
02:05:54,500 --> 02:05:55,934
evaluation of superintendent.

2587
02:05:56,166 --> 02:05:59,133
And obviously you hope that those outcomes match

2588
02:05:59,367 --> 02:06:02,233
what the employees would say about the superintendent

2589
02:06:02,233 --> 02:06:04,767
and the captain really in the end.

2590
02:06:06,133 --> 02:06:07,934
So you wanted to match both the statement

2591
02:06:08,133 --> 02:06:11,033
and have some meaning behind it.

2592
02:06:11,433 --> 02:06:13,266
And these aren't the only measure we use

2593
02:06:13,433 --> 02:06:16,500
to make decisions like this is just very high

2594
02:06:16,500 --> 02:06:18,166
level outcomes.

2595
02:06:18,300 --> 02:06:20,734
So like the engagement survey has more questions,

2596
02:06:20,767 --> 02:06:25,033
we pay attention to em all even if they aren't part

2597
02:06:25,033 --> 02:06:27,133
of like an OE or a district scorecard

2598
02:06:27,133 --> 02:06:28,433
or things that are important.

2599
02:06:30,500 --> 02:06:32,133
Okay. One more thought on that

2600
02:06:32,133 --> 02:06:33,634
and then I'll hand it back over to the student.

2601
02:06:33,667 --> 02:06:37,100
But I almost wonder if your question is when the board

2602
02:06:37,166 --> 02:06:39,533
reevaluates our policy, if

2603
02:06:39,533 --> 02:06:41,300
that would drive our policy update more

2604
02:06:41,300 --> 02:06:44,233
so than the superintendent's interpretation of the policy.

2605
02:06:46,300 --> 02:06:50,033
Just a thought. Yeah, I I think that's fair

2606
02:06:51,433 --> 02:06:55,367
and and I think I will have more formulated thoughts when

2607
02:06:55,367 --> 02:06:57,667
you have a direct in of us Stankey

2608
02:07:07,300 --> 02:07:09,266
question yet just taking notes

2609
02:07:09,367 --> 02:07:13,233
and we get back together, have more springboard.

2610
02:07:14,767 --> 02:07:16,433
So no questions far.

2611
02:07:19,934 --> 02:07:23,133
Alright. As as you said, appreciate the visualization

2612
02:07:23,266 --> 02:07:25,233
and how we have it in the buckets.

2613
02:07:26,166 --> 02:07:30,767
And then not sure if this is here or if this is of a draft

2614
02:07:32,066 --> 02:07:34,767
and it just very quickly flipped through what the

2615
02:07:35,233 --> 02:07:37,266
lines are on the actual OEN

2616
02:07:37,367 --> 02:07:40,867
or I would be interested in

2617
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:45,066
seeing something about action as a result of surveys.

2618
02:07:45,100 --> 02:07:48,100
So we did an appointment engagement survey.

2619
02:07:48,867 --> 02:07:52,166
What kind of, if I assume there's some kind of open text box

2620
02:07:52,500 --> 02:07:54,467
or you're also looking like NPS

2621
02:07:54,567 --> 02:07:57,000
of the responses you're identifying like,

2622
02:07:57,000 --> 02:07:58,700
oh here's here's the whole,

2623
02:07:58,867 --> 02:08:01,333
or like, you know, there was a number, I think it was 70%

2624
02:08:02,367 --> 02:08:04,700
we are, this is part the strategies run this year

2625
02:08:05,266 --> 02:08:08,333
and we're communicate that back to the employees

2626
02:08:08,333 --> 02:08:11,367
of you took this survey Stankey here is

2627
02:08:11,767 --> 02:08:14,166
what change your responses drove.

2628
02:08:14,367 --> 02:08:16,433
And that's a little bit outside of his evaluation,

2629
02:08:16,467 --> 02:08:17,734
but if it feeds into it, right,

2630
02:08:17,734 --> 02:08:19,000
because then they feel heard, they see

2631
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:20,467
that their responses cause change

2632
02:08:20,533 --> 02:08:23,433
and then they were likely to take it again in the future.

2633
02:08:25,033 --> 02:08:27,166
That, and this is a question

2634
02:08:27,934 --> 02:08:29,667
Lisa Goldsberry brought up a long time.

2635
02:08:29,734 --> 02:08:31,734
The first meeting I ever attended, she asked,

2636
02:08:32,133 --> 02:08:34,266
do we ever ask our students if they feel

2637
02:08:34,300 --> 02:08:35,934
celebrated or recognized?

2638
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:38,700
And that just lives in a little room in the back of my head

2639
02:08:39,634 --> 02:08:42,266
that I really like that kind of question for our employees.

2640
02:08:42,300 --> 02:08:44,367
Do you feel celebrated? Do you feel recognized?

2641
02:08:45,100 --> 02:08:48,500
'cause that's a, if you don't feel it, you won't put it.

2642
02:08:49,066 --> 02:08:51,700
And that's a, I just finished my employee survey

2643
02:08:52,033 --> 02:08:53,367
for my own company yesterday.

2644
02:08:53,634 --> 02:08:55,166
So they started like, what would I want

2645
02:08:55,233 --> 02:08:56,567
from my employee side?

2646
02:08:56,567 --> 02:08:59,667
What do I want? And that was like, do you feel recognized?

2647
02:08:59,667 --> 02:09:02,834
Was want questions? So suggestions

2648
02:09:03,033 --> 02:09:05,867
not dictates.

2649
02:09:07,834 --> 02:09:09,567
Yeah. That's for another day that those,

2650
02:09:09,934 --> 02:09:12,166
that we've tackled those this last year

2651
02:09:12,166 --> 02:09:13,567
because we thought the same thing.

2652
02:09:13,634 --> 02:09:16,266
Like the idea is like if your employee taking one

2653
02:09:16,266 --> 02:09:20,367
of those surveys, I mean it becomes really hard

2654
02:09:20,367 --> 02:09:22,734
to take if you don't see anything.

2655
02:09:22,867 --> 02:09:24,033
And maybe there is stuff happening.

2656
02:09:24,066 --> 02:09:25,834
If you don't see it or somebody tells you

2657
02:09:25,834 --> 02:09:27,767
that it's happening, it's

2658
02:09:27,767 --> 02:09:31,567
not okay.

2659
02:09:32,233 --> 02:09:33,233
Any question

2660
02:09:34,900 --> 02:09:37,266
- I will say for everyone complimenting the visualizations

2661
02:09:37,700 --> 02:09:40,333
there, this is excellent work in the short amount of time

2662
02:09:40,333 --> 02:09:44,066
that you guys have had because I, I saw the rough draft

2663
02:09:44,300 --> 02:09:47,367
and so, so like presentation

2664
02:09:47,467 --> 02:09:49,567
for tonight is excellent and amazing work.

2665
02:09:50,033 --> 02:09:52,834
So yeah, compliments to, kudos to you guys.

2666
02:09:55,166 --> 02:09:59,100
- Okay, awesome. Yeah, this is such an important area

2667
02:09:59,100 --> 02:10:02,033
of our system because I know most board members get

2668
02:10:03,133 --> 02:10:06,066
interactions with staff at some point throughout our days.

2669
02:10:06,133 --> 02:10:07,300
We interact with some staff,

2670
02:10:07,367 --> 02:10:09,834
but this is our way to look systemically at

2671
02:10:09,834 --> 02:10:11,634
how we're taking care of the people who take care

2672
02:10:12,066 --> 02:10:13,266
of our scholars.

2673
02:10:13,433 --> 02:10:18,133
So other than I, I mentioned to Chris if I was gonna look at

2674
02:10:18,133 --> 02:10:20,433
how to make sure these interpretations are right,

2675
02:10:20,467 --> 02:10:22,300
I'd go back to last year's monitoring reports

2676
02:10:22,500 --> 02:10:24,033
and just look at the board's overall comments.

2677
02:10:24,266 --> 02:10:25,667
Like on anything the board

2678
02:10:25,700 --> 02:10:28,100
as an entity said they wanted to see improvements on.

2679
02:10:28,367 --> 02:10:29,834
'cause I think there was some good things in there

2680
02:10:30,133 --> 02:10:31,266
that I'm not gonna read out loud

2681
02:10:31,667 --> 02:10:33,567
'cause I couldn't find the monitoring reports.

2682
02:10:35,266 --> 02:10:36,367
And AMANDA, I just,

2683
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:39,567
AMANDA talked about the retention question already,

2684
02:10:39,634 --> 02:10:40,767
but that is one of those spaces

2685
02:10:40,767 --> 02:10:42,767
that had generated confusion in the past is

2686
02:10:42,767 --> 02:10:44,000
how do we calculate retention

2687
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:45,333
and who's included and who isn't.

2688
02:10:45,367 --> 02:10:47,033
So making sure to be really clear on that

2689
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,066
'cause that's been like a repeated area

2690
02:10:49,133 --> 02:10:52,000
of confusion at some point.

2691
02:10:52,066 --> 02:10:56,000
And then also building on Kalina's point about future state.

2692
02:10:56,700 --> 02:10:58,000
I loved that. So,

2693
02:10:58,000 --> 02:11:00,767
and that had been, in my own words, I just wanted

2694
02:11:00,767 --> 02:11:04,300
to keep saying, I would love to know what are the one

2695
02:11:04,300 --> 02:11:06,500
or two main goals for continuous improvement in the coming

2696
02:11:06,533 --> 02:11:10,000
year was how I had phrased it at the end.

2697
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:11,133
Basically said the same thing.

2698
02:11:11,233 --> 02:11:15,000
So just building on that, there are only two other places

2699
02:11:15,166 --> 02:11:17,033
that I could think of right now

2700
02:11:17,033 --> 02:11:19,934
that I feel like have caused confusion in the past

2701
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:24,066
or have been repeated comments in the past was the concept

2702
02:11:24,100 --> 02:11:25,500
around student feedback.

2703
02:11:26,634 --> 02:11:28,266
Because that was a really intentional add

2704
02:11:28,266 --> 02:11:29,300
to the board policy

2705
02:11:29,533 --> 02:11:32,333
that I don't think we've seen incorporated into metrics yet.

2706
02:11:32,433 --> 02:11:34,033
But the board added language,

2707
02:11:34,033 --> 02:11:35,700
when we did update the policy a year

2708
02:11:35,700 --> 02:11:38,066
or two ago to say that student feedback

2709
02:11:38,100 --> 02:11:40,033
of staff was something that we cared about

2710
02:11:40,133 --> 02:11:42,567
and I we're not saying how, we're not saying the method

2711
02:11:42,634 --> 02:11:44,100
or how often or what it looks like

2712
02:11:44,033 --> 02:11:46,634
or whether even the board, it's not that the board needs

2713
02:11:46,634 --> 02:11:49,266
to see the student's feedback, it's that the board,

2714
02:11:49,634 --> 02:11:52,333
at least my interpretation of it was that the board wanted

2715
02:11:52,333 --> 02:11:54,500
to know that students had a feedback outlet.

2716
02:11:54,900 --> 02:11:56,634
Not that we needed to see the results of it,

2717
02:11:56,667 --> 02:11:58,867
but that somehow there was a way that students were able

2718
02:11:58,867 --> 02:12:00,867
to give feedback to their educators

2719
02:12:00,934 --> 02:12:02,867
and how, how the system was feeling to them.

2720
02:12:04,467 --> 02:12:08,033
And then the last thing that I could think of was stay

2721
02:12:08,033 --> 02:12:11,567
and exit interview data has been like a repeated area

2722
02:12:12,033 --> 02:12:13,367
where the board has curiosity

2723
02:12:13,467 --> 02:12:15,934
around seeing some type of metrics.

2724
02:12:15,934 --> 02:12:17,934
Again, no I don't have specific details

2725
02:12:17,934 --> 02:12:19,467
that we really need this exact question,

2726
02:12:20,100 --> 02:12:23,000
but some sort of feedback metrics on stay

2727
02:12:23,066 --> 02:12:25,934
and exit interview data that we receive from staff.

2728
02:12:25,934 --> 02:12:28,066
The board would love to see some sort of,

2729
02:12:29,133 --> 02:12:31,000
has been a repeated comment in the past.

2730
02:12:31,100 --> 02:12:36,033
So may be nice to see in a draft. Yeah, that's all I got.

2731
02:12:36,467 --> 02:12:39,033
Anyone else have something that came

2732
02:12:39,033 --> 02:12:40,133
to mind as we went around?

2733
02:12:41,066 --> 02:12:42,266
'cause this is exactly to AMANDA Amanda's point.

2734
02:12:42,266 --> 02:12:44,834
This is exactly the time to I think lift the things

2735
02:12:44,834 --> 02:12:47,266
where it's like this has been confusing

2736
02:12:47,266 --> 02:12:49,300
or this felt undefined or this felt missing.

2737
02:12:50,033 --> 02:12:52,066
I think this is where we get clarity to make SURREY DR.

2738
02:12:52,266 --> 02:12:53,900
Reed has really clear understanding of

2739
02:12:53,900 --> 02:12:55,133
what it is we wanna see so

2740
02:12:55,133 --> 02:12:56,900
that a year from now he's able to give it to us.

2741
02:13:00,300 --> 02:13:01,500
Okay. Awesome.

2742
02:13:02,233 --> 02:13:03,533
Stankey so much Chris,

2743
02:13:03,700 --> 02:13:05,233
that was a lot, that was really important.

2744
02:13:05,900 --> 02:13:07,467
- Can I just ask the timeline question?

2745
02:13:08,133 --> 02:13:11,900
So is a draft coming to us for review

2746
02:13:12,533 --> 02:13:13,634
on the 28th?

2747
02:13:17,467 --> 02:13:19,133
- No, we're gonna need time to develop that.

2748
02:13:19,033 --> 02:13:20,133
That's something that we're gonna do

2749
02:13:20,133 --> 02:13:22,066
to continuously throughout the process

2750
02:13:22,233 --> 02:13:23,433
and taking our time with this.

2751
02:13:23,533 --> 02:13:25,367
So around the time we're in January,

2752
02:13:25,700 --> 02:13:27,767
you have a complete understanding of where we are

2753
02:13:27,767 --> 02:13:30,767
and you gotta get continuous bite size updates as we go

2754
02:13:31,266 --> 02:13:33,233
within our community, our committees

2755
02:13:33,233 --> 02:13:34,700
and our, you know, monthly updates.

2756
02:13:38,533 --> 02:13:40,133
- We're figuring it out as we go.

2757
02:13:40,166 --> 02:13:42,166
I think it's, so we'll see as whenever,

2758
02:13:42,734 --> 02:13:43,934
whenever you have something to share, just

2759
02:13:43,934 --> 02:13:46,166
share it and we'll go from there. Another

2760
02:13:46,166 --> 02:13:48,166
- Thing that got a little tricky just given the timeline,

2761
02:13:48,166 --> 02:13:50,266
knowing that we don't want to do all of these all at once is

2762
02:13:50,266 --> 02:13:53,333
that we don't have, if we're trying not

2763
02:13:53,333 --> 02:13:54,433
to use last year's data

2764
02:13:54,433 --> 02:13:57,467
because of the change in leadership, we don't have a lot

2765
02:13:57,467 --> 02:13:58,900
of data yet

2766
02:13:58,900 --> 02:14:01,066
because our retentions are gonna look really good

2767
02:14:01,066 --> 02:14:02,266
because people were hired in August

2768
02:14:02,834 --> 02:14:07,000
and it's only September for things to happen.

2769
02:14:07,233 --> 02:14:09,166
So thankfully.

2770
02:14:10,300 --> 02:14:12,667
So it's some of it can't give you yet

2771
02:14:12,667 --> 02:14:13,700
because it doesn't exist.

2772
02:14:14,233 --> 02:14:16,867
- Can I, yeah, chime in for that. I was gonna say but you'll

2773
02:14:16,934 --> 02:14:17,934
- Probably say what I - Was gonna say.

2774
02:14:17,934 --> 02:14:21,834
Yeah, probably I, I, and again, I'm speaking as myself,

2775
02:14:21,867 --> 02:14:23,834
but I feel like we had this discussion, it's not

2776
02:14:23,834 --> 02:14:25,834
that you can't use the data from last year.

2777
02:14:26,100 --> 02:14:28,734
I think that all of us would like to see data from last year

2778
02:14:28,900 --> 02:14:31,834
because we can't, we're just, we know that

2779
02:14:31,834 --> 02:14:34,467
that data is not being used to evaluate Dr. Reed,

2780
02:14:35,266 --> 02:14:39,066
but we can't not see data from last year in order to be able

2781
02:14:39,066 --> 02:14:40,700
to know how our system did last year.

2782
02:14:40,934 --> 02:14:43,500
So I I, I don't know like feel free to,

2783
02:14:43,767 --> 02:14:44,934
it's two separate chime in with that.

2784
02:14:45,000 --> 02:14:46,166
But yeah, I feel like that's two separate,

2785
02:14:47,133 --> 02:14:50,667
- Well that's why you're seeing 25, 26.

2786
02:14:50,667 --> 02:14:52,834
It's kind of our baseline. That's our starting point.

2787
02:14:53,033 --> 02:14:56,867
But ultimately in order to move forward with the drafts to,

2788
02:14:56,867 --> 02:14:59,500
to AMANDA your point as far as next steps,

2789
02:15:00,100 --> 02:15:03,500
we needed this discussion to happen so we have an idea of

2790
02:15:03,500 --> 02:15:05,667
what direction our committee goes next.

2791
02:15:06,033 --> 02:15:09,900
So you know, we want to continue to move forward and,

2792
02:15:10,000 --> 02:15:12,000
and ultimately, you know, the ORs

2793
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:14,867
and the always are gonna overlap between months

2794
02:15:14,867 --> 02:15:17,000
because you know, we're gonna be at a very different spot

2795
02:15:17,166 --> 02:15:19,000
compared to those who are gonna be presenting next month

2796
02:15:19,133 --> 02:15:20,233
versus the next month.

2797
02:15:20,233 --> 02:15:23,333
So there will be that over layer of the pieces,

2798
02:15:23,533 --> 02:15:25,433
but ultimately the goal is to bring promise

2799
02:15:25,834 --> 02:15:29,166
or bring progress updates, show you, you know, here's

2800
02:15:29,166 --> 02:15:31,233
where we are, here's where we're going and,

2801
02:15:31,333 --> 02:15:32,834
and you know, we're gonna lean on our,

2802
02:15:32,834 --> 02:15:35,467
our committee very heavily as far as you know, what what

2803
02:15:35,467 --> 02:15:37,000
to bring back at what points.

2804
02:15:38,033 --> 02:15:39,700
But certainly, you know, we wanna make sure

2805
02:15:39,700 --> 02:15:41,567
that we're doing it right and,

2806
02:15:41,734 --> 02:15:43,266
and so that's why, you know,

2807
02:15:43,467 --> 02:15:45,500
Dr Point's gonna be taking a little time

2808
02:15:45,500 --> 02:15:50,100
where there is some overlap across the multiple ORs.

2809
02:15:50,567 --> 02:15:52,266
But we want to make sure ultimately

2810
02:15:52,266 --> 02:15:53,700
that we're giving you what you need to.

2811
02:15:53,934 --> 02:15:55,867
So make sure that you know, you're letting

2812
02:15:56,467 --> 02:15:58,900
our committee members know ourselves as far as what you,

2813
02:15:59,033 --> 02:16:02,834
you need in order to be informed for the community.

2814
02:16:07,066 --> 02:16:09,700
- Any other last thoughts questions on this item?

2815
02:16:12,934 --> 02:16:15,133
Okay, wonderful. And then I don't wanna assume the

2816
02:16:15,133 --> 02:16:16,634
committee's done because we still need

2817
02:16:16,634 --> 02:16:17,767
to talk about short-term borrowing.

2818
02:16:17,900 --> 02:16:18,000
No,

2819
02:16:24,433 --> 02:16:25,100
hi everybody.

2820
02:16:27,333 --> 02:16:28,934
So one thing you can always count

2821
02:16:28,934 --> 02:16:31,133
- On with school finance's, inconvenient timing

2822
02:16:32,033 --> 02:16:34,500
and that is the case for short term borrowing.

2823
02:16:34,634 --> 02:16:37,266
So as you know, we have payrolls

2824
02:16:37,266 --> 02:16:39,133
and check runs that happen throughout the year.

2825
02:16:39,934 --> 02:16:43,300
However, we only receive our revenues at certain times in

2826
02:16:43,300 --> 02:16:45,533
the year and generally that's later into our fiscal year.

2827
02:16:45,567 --> 02:16:48,066
So for school districts

2828
02:16:48,066 --> 02:16:51,000
who don't have sufficient fund balance to provide liquidity,

2829
02:16:52,033 --> 02:16:54,266
they need to resort to short-term borrowing.

2830
02:16:54,266 --> 02:16:57,934
And we are one of those districts definitely not just the

2831
02:16:58,000 --> 02:16:59,066
slum prairie thing, it's very common.

2832
02:17:00,433 --> 02:17:02,300
But one thing that I wanted to do

2833
02:17:02,300 --> 02:17:05,500
for the board is just provide some data on the last 10

2834
02:17:05,500 --> 02:17:08,066
years, kind of where we've been, where are we going

2835
02:17:08,734 --> 02:17:10,634
and what are we looking at in the future.

2836
02:17:11,000 --> 02:17:15,767
So in the last 10 years we on average have borrowed about 12

2837
02:17:15,834 --> 02:17:18,233
and a half to $13 million each year.

2838
02:17:18,667 --> 02:17:21,934
Generally between the months of August

2839
02:17:22,100 --> 02:17:25,133
and December when we haven't received our tax payments yet

2840
02:17:27,166 --> 02:17:31,000
during that decade our high amount is $17 million.

2841
02:17:31,900 --> 02:17:36,033
And I think this is really good news for 26, 27,

2842
02:17:36,133 --> 02:17:39,100
our current estimate is that we will need

2843
02:17:39,100 --> 02:17:41,133
to borrow no more than $6 million

2844
02:17:42,266 --> 02:17:45,100
and this will be the lowest borrowing amount needed

2845
02:17:45,100 --> 02:17:46,233
in more than 10 years.

2846
02:17:47,300 --> 02:17:49,834
This is again, I think really good news.

2847
02:17:50,100 --> 02:17:53,934
You know where we see that direct impact in our budget is

2848
02:17:54,033 --> 02:17:55,033
when we short term borrow,

2849
02:17:55,500 --> 02:17:59,066
we have an interest expense expense associated with that.

2850
02:18:00,133 --> 02:18:04,734
Last year we budgeted $640,000 in interest

2851
02:18:04,900 --> 02:18:07,333
just to borrow for cashflow purposes.

2852
02:18:08,367 --> 02:18:12,066
With the $6 million estimate that we have, we're looking at

2853
02:18:12,033 --> 02:18:15,000
that interest cost dropping to $230,000.

2854
02:18:15,467 --> 02:18:19,133
So that's $400,000 in direct savings because of this.

2855
02:18:20,634 --> 02:18:22,734
And really what what this is a result

2856
02:18:22,734 --> 02:18:25,533
of is our focus on building our fund balance.

2857
02:18:26,033 --> 02:18:28,100
Again it's provide us with that liquidity.

2858
02:18:29,033 --> 02:18:30,367
So again, very good news.

2859
02:18:30,734 --> 02:18:32,634
I think a good goal for us

2860
02:18:32,834 --> 02:18:36,467
and I think it is attainable given $6 million is not a huge

2861
02:18:36,467 --> 02:18:39,467
number, would be to eventually reduce the need

2862
02:18:39,467 --> 02:18:41,467
to do this at all and move

2863
02:18:41,500 --> 02:18:44,000
that interest expense somewhere more important.

2864
02:18:44,266 --> 02:18:47,100
So that would be something maybe in the future we could talk

2865
02:18:47,100 --> 02:18:51,066
more about but wanting to give this to you knowing

2866
02:18:51,100 --> 02:18:54,300
that on September 28th the board will be approving

2867
02:18:54,734 --> 02:18:59,567
that $6 million number also approving our participation in

2868
02:19:00,634 --> 02:19:02,033
GMAS pooled borrowing program,

2869
02:19:02,033 --> 02:19:03,500
which we've been doing for many years.

2870
02:19:03,867 --> 02:19:04,867
Essentially it's us

2871
02:19:04,867 --> 02:19:07,000
and 12 other school districts that borrow together

2872
02:19:07,233 --> 02:19:10,000
to get a higher bond rating and lower interest rate.

2873
02:19:10,100 --> 02:19:12,367
So that's all I have.

2874
02:19:12,367 --> 02:19:14,266
There's a lot of information and diligent

2875
02:19:15,433 --> 02:19:17,000
but happy to answer any questions.

2876
02:19:20,367 --> 02:19:22,634
- Does anyone have comments or questions on this one?

2877
02:19:23,567 --> 02:19:25,667
- I just think it's hilarious. Yeah, no go ahead.

2878
02:19:25,834 --> 02:19:27,066
I just think it's hilarious that you think

2879
02:19:27,133 --> 02:19:28,533
$6 million isn't that much

2880
02:19:29,767 --> 02:19:30,367
- Personally

2881
02:19:35,266 --> 02:19:36,834
and anybody's helpful but I was like

2882
02:19:37,467 --> 02:19:39,567
- That'd be nice to have. I just, sorry,

2883
02:19:40,500 --> 02:19:41,500
- I agree with you.

2884
02:19:41,500 --> 02:19:42,033
Yeah,

2885
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:44,000
- Anyone?

2886
02:19:44,000 --> 02:19:44,433
I'm just looking around

2887
02:19:46,734 --> 02:19:47,734
- Nice work.

2888
02:19:47,734 --> 02:19:50,634
How did you, like how did you Yeah, finagle the numbers.

2889
02:19:52,300 --> 02:19:53,500
- I did not finagle the numbers.

2890
02:19:57,367 --> 02:19:58,500
- That's a dangerous question.

2891
02:20:00,233 --> 02:20:03,066
- No. One thing that we wanted to make, well

2892
02:20:03,133 --> 02:20:06,467
for one we have unaudited financials for 25, 26

2893
02:20:06,900 --> 02:20:09,233
and one thing that we're seeing that's really good is

2894
02:20:09,233 --> 02:20:11,934
that it's looking like we'll have conserved funds of

2895
02:20:11,934 --> 02:20:14,333
around $2 million that will go directly into fund balance

2896
02:20:15,133 --> 02:20:17,834
on top of our $2 million transfer to fund 46.

2897
02:20:18,133 --> 02:20:21,266
So those two numbers right there was $4 million into fund

2898
02:20:21,266 --> 02:20:24,567
balance to be able to assist us with these projections.

2899
02:20:25,767 --> 02:20:27,533
Again, I don't want to get too into the weeds,

2900
02:20:27,533 --> 02:20:29,734
but another important piece of our

2901
02:20:30,333 --> 02:20:34,066
overall cash flow projections is how we

2902
02:20:34,700 --> 02:20:36,467
transfer from fund 10 to other funds

2903
02:20:37,100 --> 02:20:38,767
and the timing of those transfers.

2904
02:20:39,433 --> 02:20:44,367
So what we tried to do was move those transfers past January

2905
02:20:45,133 --> 02:20:46,867
when we have our tax payments.

2906
02:20:47,233 --> 02:20:48,934
And so that was an important part of

2907
02:20:48,934 --> 02:20:51,700
how we did these numbers was to make sure that we

2908
02:20:52,133 --> 02:20:55,066
incorporated those funds later in the fiscal year when we're

2909
02:20:55,066 --> 02:20:57,567
more resource rich to be able to borrow less

2910
02:21:00,333 --> 02:21:02,667
- Stankey for the explanation on the finagle.

2911
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:06,634
- Don't you mean creative accounting?

2912
02:21:08,367 --> 02:21:11,033
No Stankey for your excellent work on this.

2913
02:21:11,133 --> 02:21:14,100
And yeah, I think just emphasizing like

2914
02:21:14,100 --> 02:21:15,667
how much money we're able to save just

2915
02:21:15,834 --> 02:21:17,467
by reducing the amount we're borrowing

2916
02:21:17,567 --> 02:21:21,266
and like that's kind of wild to me

2917
02:21:21,266 --> 02:21:23,133
that it can be that big of a swing.

2918
02:21:23,100 --> 02:21:25,934
So I, I love that we have this direction

2919
02:21:26,033 --> 02:21:27,033
and this goal

2920
02:21:27,066 --> 02:21:29,266
that we can work towards like we were talked about

2921
02:21:29,734 --> 02:21:31,533
before in previous meeting about

2922
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:33,500
what our fund balance would need to be

2923
02:21:33,567 --> 02:21:35,133
to not have to borrow.

2924
02:21:35,100 --> 02:21:37,166
So that's that's great news. Stankey,

2925
02:21:39,100 --> 02:21:43,066
- Any other, no Stankey,

2926
02:21:44,133 --> 02:21:46,066
do we need to pass this resolution

2927
02:21:46,066 --> 02:21:47,266
tonight or is that next meeting?

2928
02:21:47,266 --> 02:21:49,467
I think this is f yi for vote next meeting. Yes. Right.

2929
02:21:49,867 --> 02:21:52,934
We're just getting into that cadence of this is when we get

2930
02:21:52,934 --> 02:21:55,133
to talk about things and not feel pressured to vote.

2931
02:21:55,133 --> 02:21:59,900
Right. Okay. Okay. Yeah Stankey. Okay.

2932
02:22:00,066 --> 02:22:03,734
And then we have the 7.05.

2933
02:22:04,100 --> 02:22:06,467
Do you wanna talk about that a little bit? Yeah,

2934
02:22:10,000 --> 02:22:13,367
- So initially when we put the agenda items together,

2935
02:22:13,767 --> 02:22:16,500
we had hoped to come to the board floor with

2936
02:22:17,033 --> 02:22:21,433
a signed agreement between the school district and the SPEA.

2937
02:22:22,333 --> 02:22:26,033
So we, we put the agenda item in, we met

2938
02:22:26,033 --> 02:22:28,734
with them on September the eighth

2939
02:22:29,333 --> 02:22:31,567
and we brought forth a, an agreement

2940
02:22:31,700 --> 02:22:34,500
for professional educators for 26 27.

2941
02:22:36,033 --> 02:22:39,000
That meeting did not end with, with a signed agreement.

2942
02:22:39,266 --> 02:22:43,100
Therefore I guess our suggestion for next steps would be

2943
02:22:43,834 --> 02:22:46,033
for the board to schedule a meeting to determine

2944
02:22:46,100 --> 02:22:47,266
what next steps should be.

2945
02:22:48,033 --> 02:22:51,000
But unfortunately that won't be something that you can

2946
02:22:51,667 --> 02:22:53,066
vote on at the end of this month.

2947
02:22:53,467 --> 02:22:57,533
So, so that makes it a, a future topic now in addition

2948
02:22:57,533 --> 02:22:59,934
to our annual meeting, which is on October the fifth.

2949
02:23:00,333 --> 02:23:03,767
And then also you're gonna start seeing our safety drill

2950
02:23:03,767 --> 02:23:06,567
reports come up over the upcoming months

2951
02:23:06,567 --> 02:23:08,867
because we have to make sure that we're giving you the

2952
02:23:09,133 --> 02:23:11,734
after action reports within 30 days.

2953
02:23:12,233 --> 02:23:15,100
So you'll see several of those coming up as well.

2954
02:23:15,500 --> 02:23:16,834
But any questions related to

2955
02:23:17,266 --> 02:23:20,734
the collective bargaining status or anything else coming up?

2956
02:23:26,266 --> 02:23:28,100
- I think just building up, my only question

2957
02:23:28,533 --> 02:23:31,033
and we can talk about this later, I think we're allowed

2958
02:23:31,033 --> 02:23:33,500
to talk about it now is if we're gonna schedule another

2959
02:23:33,500 --> 02:23:37,066
meeting, is next Monday possible

2960
02:23:37,066 --> 02:23:40,734
for since Monday's our generally our meeting night, would

2961
02:23:40,734 --> 02:23:43,667
that be a functional meeting night for the board to have

2962
02:23:43,667 --> 02:23:45,634
that conversation so

2963
02:23:45,634 --> 02:23:47,533
that the process can continue moving forward?

2964
02:23:53,066 --> 02:23:55,634
Or tell me if it is a okay it that,

2965
02:23:55,634 --> 02:23:58,834
I'll put it this way if next Monday does not work for you,

2966
02:24:00,066 --> 02:24:02,166
make me aware and if I find out we're not gonna be able

2967
02:24:02,166 --> 02:24:05,266
to have a quorum then we'll figure out

2968
02:24:05,266 --> 02:24:06,333
how to deal with it after that.

2969
02:24:06,333 --> 02:24:08,834
But otherwise I would assume that I'll figure out timing.

2970
02:24:09,066 --> 02:24:11,066
I know there's some committee meeting stuff going on,

2971
02:24:11,066 --> 02:24:13,066
there's an ops committee meeting so we'll just,

2972
02:24:13,333 --> 02:24:16,066
we'll coordinate timing accordingly,

2973
02:24:17,300 --> 02:24:20,900
but I'll just assume that we'll add a board meeting in order

2974
02:24:20,934 --> 02:24:22,266
to take care of that item so

2975
02:24:22,266 --> 02:24:24,133
that the process can keep moving forward.

2976
02:24:25,033 --> 02:24:29,634
Okay, fantastic. And that was all of the ops company? Right.

2977
02:24:30,033 --> 02:24:33,100
Okay. Okay. Being careful. Alright wonderful.

2978
02:24:33,266 --> 02:24:36,867
So then we're at our section eight community updates.

2979
02:24:38,533 --> 02:24:40,934
There's that outreach liaison conference

2980
02:24:40,934 --> 02:24:41,934
and training report form

2981
02:24:41,934 --> 02:24:44,133
and I heard Ena, you've done a really good job remembering,

2982
02:24:46,066 --> 02:24:48,066
I know I have failed to enter some of my things,

2983
02:24:48,066 --> 02:24:51,500
but does anyone have any wonderful updates they wanna share

2984
02:24:51,500 --> 02:24:52,500
with the community and

2985
02:24:52,500 --> 02:24:55,000
or each other things you've done recently?

2986
02:24:55,867 --> 02:24:57,700
- Yeah so then and blown 'em out

2987
02:24:57,700 --> 02:24:58,767
and then I emailed you to like,

2988
02:24:58,834 --> 02:25:01,367
hey I can't enter my committees, I can't all up

2989
02:25:02,500 --> 02:25:04,467
I did the the back to school visits

2990
02:25:04,767 --> 02:25:07,233
and I just wanna say I really enjoyed both

2991
02:25:07,266 --> 02:25:08,734
of my visits with the schools.

2992
02:25:09,133 --> 02:25:10,300
I don't know how the others went

2993
02:25:10,533 --> 02:25:12,133
but they were both really great.

2994
02:25:13,000 --> 02:25:15,033
There were some third graders who

2995
02:25:15,133 --> 02:25:18,300
and kindergartners at Horizon, Horizon parents

2996
02:25:18,433 --> 02:25:22,166
who were challenging Dr Re to feats of strength on the

2997
02:25:24,066 --> 02:25:26,767
pullups doing, going through the monkey bars.

2998
02:25:27,000 --> 02:25:29,100
It was, I didn't know

2999
02:25:29,100 --> 02:25:30,233
what I thought the meeting was gonna be

3000
02:25:30,467 --> 02:25:34,467
but I was, they were not afraid to run up to you

3001
02:25:34,500 --> 02:25:36,867
and challenge you on the playground equipment

3002
02:25:36,900 --> 02:25:40,700
but it was, I really enjoyed both those visits so I hope

3003
02:25:40,700 --> 02:25:43,266
that might actually become an annual thing.

3004
02:25:43,533 --> 02:25:44,533
I thought it was really fun.

3005
02:25:48,033 --> 02:25:50,133
- I had the privilege to attend the Hmong welcome

3006
02:25:50,667 --> 02:25:52,000
night back thing.

3007
02:25:52,467 --> 02:25:54,033
I forgot what the exact title was

3008
02:25:54,100 --> 02:25:56,133
but my family went last year too

3009
02:25:56,133 --> 02:25:58,533
and this year was exceptional as always.

3010
02:25:58,533 --> 02:26:02,233
There's ice cream, wonderful food and my kids love that

3011
02:26:03,433 --> 02:26:04,934
and lots of lots of vendors

3012
02:26:05,266 --> 02:26:07,367
and yeah it was, it was just a great event.

3013
02:26:09,367 --> 02:26:11,433
- Anyone else? - I don't wanna steal the thunder

3014
02:26:11,500 --> 02:26:15,100
of the students but it's the east versus west competition.

3015
02:26:15,367 --> 02:26:20,133
Sorry, we've got some homecoming parades coming up.

3016
02:26:20,066 --> 02:26:23,634
We've got some volleyball, soccer, tennis and football.

3017
02:26:24,567 --> 02:26:28,000
So it's time to dress in your applicable red or blue

3018
02:26:28,233 --> 02:26:30,734
or if you are going for your purples

3019
02:26:32,333 --> 02:26:34,133
'cause it's Spirit week for most schools

3020
02:26:37,734 --> 02:26:38,734
- I can call it.

3021
02:26:38,734 --> 02:26:40,300
I know there were a few of us there, not just me

3022
02:26:40,300 --> 02:26:42,767
but the hero appreciation night was really wonderful

3023
02:26:43,133 --> 02:26:45,333
that we got to go attend and appreciate.

3024
02:26:46,266 --> 02:26:47,266
I know it's not our event

3025
02:26:47,266 --> 02:26:49,567
but it's a community event where a few of us were present,

3026
02:26:50,433 --> 02:26:52,100
got to go appreciate the folks

3027
02:26:52,100 --> 02:26:54,066
that help keep our full community safe,

3028
02:26:54,734 --> 02:26:56,300
including all of our students.

3029
02:26:56,500 --> 02:26:57,734
So that was fantastic.

3030
02:26:59,500 --> 02:27:02,166
And yeah, I really loved starting out the school year at

3031
02:27:02,166 --> 02:27:04,333
West it was great just holding the doors open

3032
02:27:04,333 --> 02:27:05,867
and reading the kids as they came in.

3033
02:27:05,867 --> 02:27:07,634
That was a wonderful way to start the school year.

3034
02:27:07,767 --> 02:27:10,266
And then 4K always starts later

3035
02:27:10,266 --> 02:27:12,567
and then the 4K liaison, so I got to go visit a couple

3036
02:27:12,634 --> 02:27:15,734
of four Ks also, which was really, really fun.

3037
02:27:16,367 --> 02:27:18,066
Highly encouraged. Now that we have some

3038
02:27:18,066 --> 02:27:20,433
of the four Ks in our sites, if you have a liaison ship

3039
02:27:20,433 --> 02:27:22,500
that includes a 4K site, like pop into

3040
02:27:22,500 --> 02:27:23,867
that classroom specifically

3041
02:27:24,033 --> 02:27:25,900
'cause that's a fun, fun way

3042
02:27:25,900 --> 02:27:27,834
to spend a little time with the little ones.

3043
02:27:28,734 --> 02:27:29,734
Anyone else

3044
02:27:30,634 --> 02:27:32,867
- Starting tomorrow will be Hispanic Heritage month

3045
02:27:34,133 --> 02:27:35,133
- There.

3046
02:27:35,133 --> 02:27:36,066
Awesome.

3047
02:27:38,233 --> 02:27:41,033
- I was just gonna add on, I was gonna say West versus east

3048
02:27:41,033 --> 02:27:44,033
game is this Friday and since the cheer team's united we

3049
02:27:44,033 --> 02:27:46,467
have to like split with jb like who's cheering for what side

3050
02:27:46,500 --> 02:27:48,934
but since east is home I get to cheer for East,

3051
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:51,300
it'll be nice to be able to wrap my own school

3052
02:27:51,300 --> 02:27:52,767
for the east versus west game.

3053
02:27:53,066 --> 02:27:54,000
So yeah

3054
02:27:54,133 --> 02:27:57,333
and our, our student section's amazing so shout out to em.

3055
02:28:02,934 --> 02:28:04,700
Nice to sit down the whole time but

3056
02:28:06,133 --> 02:28:07,033
- Hey be next.

3057
02:28:11,233 --> 02:28:16,000
- I'll just, you guys decide, - Are you ready? I

3058
02:28:16,000 --> 02:28:17,000
- Think I'm separated.

3059
02:28:17,533 --> 02:28:20,700
- Yeah. Are you ready for legislative updates? Sure,

3060
02:28:22,667 --> 02:28:23,767
- Yeah, I'll be quick.

3061
02:28:24,000 --> 02:28:25,867
Colleen and I were in the same meeting.

3062
02:28:26,066 --> 02:28:28,367
We were able to get some of the Dane County

3063
02:28:29,133 --> 02:28:32,634
districts together to talk about taxpayer transparency

3064
02:28:33,467 --> 02:28:35,634
and where some of the districts are

3065
02:28:35,634 --> 02:28:39,133
and how we can all come together as a group to hopefully get

3066
02:28:39,133 --> 02:28:40,834
to the point where we can get the county

3067
02:28:41,000 --> 02:28:42,300
to actually do something.

3068
02:28:42,533 --> 02:28:46,734
I think we settled on most of us are gonna have to do tax

3069
02:28:47,166 --> 02:28:49,634
inserts versus getting it on the tax bill.

3070
02:28:49,700 --> 02:28:52,500
But I think the more districts we can get to do

3071
02:28:52,500 --> 02:28:55,066
that then the more pressure we can put on the county level.

3072
02:28:56,033 --> 02:28:59,634
And then also was able to finally figure out

3073
02:28:59,634 --> 02:29:03,066
and round up the names of people who signed up

3074
02:29:03,066 --> 02:29:05,100
to be on the legislative small group committee

3075
02:29:05,033 --> 02:29:07,033
for the Dane County consortium as well.

3076
02:29:07,133 --> 02:29:08,066
And then Victoria

3077
02:29:08,133 --> 02:29:10,700
and I are gonna try to start planning some meetings out for

3078
02:29:10,700 --> 02:29:13,333
that in the goal of when we meet in October.

3079
02:29:14,667 --> 02:29:17,500
One of the things I think that Jessica said she wants

3080
02:29:17,500 --> 02:29:20,233
to put on there is that the small group will work on coming

3081
02:29:20,266 --> 02:29:25,000
up with a plan for the budget action types of things so

3082
02:29:25,000 --> 02:29:27,467
that when we meet in January we can hit the ground running

3083
02:29:27,533 --> 02:29:31,300
with new whatever new government we have, how we're going

3084
02:29:31,300 --> 02:29:33,000
to interact with them as a county group.

3085
02:29:33,100 --> 02:29:35,734
So we'll, we'll meet as a small group moving forward

3086
02:29:35,934 --> 02:29:38,100
to be able to come to the larger group with a,

3087
02:29:38,500 --> 02:29:40,567
with a plan already in place ready

3088
02:29:40,667 --> 02:29:42,066
to be implemented in January.

3089
02:29:42,367 --> 02:29:45,634
So I think that's, that's it for me.

3090
02:29:46,100 --> 02:29:49,066
- You covered everything. I think just hearing this is the

3091
02:29:49,066 --> 02:29:50,166
second time I've heard Matt talk about

3092
02:29:50,166 --> 02:29:51,266
the timing on the draws.

3093
02:29:51,500 --> 02:29:56,166
I'd love to like harangue some legislators this winter about

3094
02:29:57,133 --> 02:30:00,700
how can we shift that so that I get it.

3095
02:30:00,700 --> 02:30:03,133
It's death by paper cut. It's just another little thing.

3096
02:30:03,100 --> 02:30:06,900
But that just, it drives me nuts that we

3097
02:30:07,033 --> 02:30:08,867
and other districts have to pay interest on something

3098
02:30:08,867 --> 02:30:09,867
that's just about the timing

3099
02:30:10,033 --> 02:30:12,233
of when they give us the money. So

3100
02:30:13,133 --> 02:30:15,934
- There is usually a bill every year

3101
02:30:16,166 --> 02:30:17,634
but Andre Jacque does it

3102
02:30:17,634 --> 02:30:19,700
and he's not gonna be there anymore so,

3103
02:30:20,033 --> 02:30:20,900
but there's usually a bill

3104
02:30:20,900 --> 02:30:22,000
every year and never goes anywhere.

3105
02:30:22,066 --> 02:30:25,433
I don't know why but, but yes. Agreed.

3106
02:30:25,634 --> 02:30:27,500
Yeah, it's on our legislative agenda so we can

3107
02:30:28,066 --> 02:30:29,066
- Excellent.

3108
02:30:34,100 --> 02:30:36,133
- Student updates. Do you have anything?

3109
02:30:37,066 --> 02:30:38,300
I mean homecoming you have

3110
02:30:38,300 --> 02:30:39,900
to say something about homecoming, right?

3111
02:30:40,467 --> 02:30:42,033
- Yeah we do have homecoming soon.

3112
02:30:42,033 --> 02:30:44,734
I don't know when tickets, well your guys' is before us

3113
02:30:44,834 --> 02:30:49,133
and tickets are on sale for east like wait, September 19th?

3114
02:30:49,266 --> 02:30:54,133
I think so this Friday wait, there's that Saturday. I

3115
02:30:54,133 --> 02:30:57,500
- Know I know about Wes is the guest forms opened today

3116
02:30:57,734 --> 02:30:59,233
and you have until next Friday

3117
02:31:00,133 --> 02:31:01,533
if you wanna bring a guest you have

3118
02:31:01,533 --> 02:31:03,033
to have your forms submitted by next Friday.

3119
02:31:03,033 --> 02:31:04,634
That's for Wes, I know that one.

3120
02:31:04,834 --> 02:31:08,133
And then the following week is when ticket sales open.

3121
02:31:08,767 --> 02:31:10,233
But I don't know what the timing is

3122
02:31:10,266 --> 02:31:12,133
for east if maybe you're off by week.

3123
02:31:12,367 --> 02:31:14,900
- We were a week after, - A week early. Maybe

3124
02:31:15,634 --> 02:31:17,000
- A week later I think later a week

3125
02:31:17,000 --> 02:31:18,000
- Later.

3126
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:19,000
Okay. I

3127
02:31:19,000 --> 02:31:20,233
- Think it's October 5th

3128
02:31:20,233 --> 02:31:22,533
through the eighth dance tickets for on sale.

3129
02:31:24,433 --> 02:31:26,100
- Yeah it is a brief window.

3130
02:31:26,133 --> 02:31:27,233
So it's one of those things

3131
02:31:27,467 --> 02:31:30,033
to make sure everyone reads their newsletter really well.

3132
02:31:30,700 --> 02:31:32,567
- And I know the theme for us upcoming is

3133
02:31:32,567 --> 02:31:33,667
like night in Paris.

3134
02:31:34,300 --> 02:31:35,300
So

3135
02:31:40,133 --> 02:31:41,133
- Did you have anything else?

3136
02:31:42,934 --> 02:31:44,233
- No, I don't even know

3137
02:31:45,100 --> 02:31:46,433
how did the start of the school year go?

3138
02:31:46,734 --> 02:31:49,133
Yeah, was from the student perspective it was good. Yeah.

3139
02:31:49,634 --> 02:31:54,233
Yeah it was. It was good. It,

3140
02:31:55,066 --> 02:31:56,100
- No, yeah it was good

3141
02:31:56,100 --> 02:31:57,066
but it kind of felt like summer

3142
02:31:57,066 --> 02:31:58,100
went by in like two weeks, right?

3143
02:31:58,100 --> 02:32:00,367
Like it felt, it didn't feel like a new school year,

3144
02:32:00,367 --> 02:32:01,900
it just felt like a break and I'm back

3145
02:32:01,900 --> 02:32:04,133
to school like I don't know don't I think it's

3146
02:32:04,133 --> 02:32:07,133
because we're seniors so we're just like, we're just there

3147
02:32:07,266 --> 02:32:08,667
for the vibes I guess this year

3148
02:32:11,367 --> 02:32:12,500
- We're just the decorations

3149
02:32:12,667 --> 02:32:16,700
don't is sitting right there.

3150
02:32:17,000 --> 02:32:18,266
He's taking notes right now.

3151
02:32:22,066 --> 02:32:25,166
The easiest too. I'm taking all these classes.

3152
02:32:26,467 --> 02:32:29,567
- Okay, the upcoming meeting schedule is attached

3153
02:32:29,567 --> 02:32:31,100
and then we're at our superintendent.

3154
02:32:31,734 --> 02:32:35,667
So would like do you have any thoughts? Factories?

3155
02:32:36,700 --> 02:32:37,700
- I'm not our scholars.

3156
02:32:40,467 --> 02:32:41,734
It was definitely,

3157
02:32:42,100 --> 02:32:44,667
I believe our district should poise itself

3158
02:32:44,734 --> 02:32:46,033
to be the number one destination

3159
02:32:46,100 --> 02:32:47,867
and that has going to require some

3160
02:32:47,867 --> 02:32:48,900
new efforts moving forward.

3161
02:32:49,166 --> 02:32:52,133
'cause I think look across the D county,

3162
02:32:52,100 --> 02:32:55,500
we have some example our things that we should be proud of.

3163
02:32:55,500 --> 02:32:58,867
Whether it's our buildings, our administration, our staff,

3164
02:32:59,033 --> 02:33:03,834
or our really efforts to commit to equity in a way

3165
02:33:03,834 --> 02:33:05,467
that's not just the wording we say

3166
02:33:05,500 --> 02:33:06,734
but the actions we carry out.

3167
02:33:06,867 --> 02:33:09,000
So I want to make sure that, you know,

3168
02:33:09,033 --> 02:33:10,467
by January we presenting

3169
02:33:10,667 --> 02:33:12,734
to our board a campaign for us to recruit.

3170
02:33:12,934 --> 02:33:15,100
I'm getting postcards across my district from other

3171
02:33:15,433 --> 02:33:16,634
districts, recruit my scholars.

3172
02:33:17,100 --> 02:33:19,367
So I'm definitely going to make sure that we have a campaign

3173
02:33:19,367 --> 02:33:21,700
to make sure we're the number one destination in the area.

3174
02:33:23,533 --> 02:33:25,333
Not as, I'm not going to nobody else

3175
02:33:25,467 --> 02:33:27,700
but some prayers is the number one destination.

3176
02:33:27,834 --> 02:33:28,900
We have to own that.

3177
02:33:29,500 --> 02:33:31,567
I'm really proud of our committees today to get

3178
02:33:31,567 --> 02:33:33,000
to our board members to make sure

3179
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:34,266
that they are hearing the work

3180
02:33:34,266 --> 02:33:36,500
that we're doing on the ground so they can lift it up

3181
02:33:36,533 --> 02:33:37,834
and look out for us.

3182
02:33:37,934 --> 02:33:39,033
I really appreciate the board members

3183
02:33:39,066 --> 02:33:41,634
for taking their time coming out to the schools.

3184
02:33:41,700 --> 02:33:43,033
It's really fun to see you all there

3185
02:33:43,033 --> 02:33:46,467
to represent your liaison schools and to have their back.

3186
02:33:46,667 --> 02:33:48,066
I, I think that is really what

3187
02:33:48,066 --> 02:33:49,100
we want to show our community.

3188
02:33:49,100 --> 02:33:52,867
I'm really proud of our board and our principals

3189
02:33:52,867 --> 02:33:55,333
and our bus drivers and early childhood centers

3190
02:33:55,367 --> 02:33:57,133
and everybody was welcoming.

3191
02:33:57,000 --> 02:33:59,500
It was a sense of belonging for the last week.

3192
02:33:59,500 --> 02:34:01,166
We got to get everywhere and it was really fun

3193
02:34:01,166 --> 02:34:02,934
to see the scholars that very strong

3194
02:34:03,000 --> 02:34:04,233
do not compete with 'em.

3195
02:34:04,266 --> 02:34:06,834
They know when, so it was, it was,

3196
02:34:06,834 --> 02:34:09,000
it was a really great onboarding to the school year

3197
02:34:09,300 --> 02:34:11,834
and I just, I just want a last update.

3198
02:34:12,767 --> 02:34:13,934
You definitely should look forward

3199
02:34:13,934 --> 02:34:15,100
to seeing a calendar from us

3200
02:34:15,133 --> 02:34:16,867
that gives you a month in advance.

3201
02:34:16,900 --> 02:34:19,100
We're talking about looking at not only athletics

3202
02:34:19,100 --> 02:34:21,133
but activities that are related to academics.

3203
02:34:21,433 --> 02:34:23,634
We have some of the best music going on,

3204
02:34:24,166 --> 02:34:27,500
our music departments, arts, other things that we have

3205
02:34:27,500 --> 02:34:29,066
to get a calendar so you all can

3206
02:34:29,066 --> 02:34:30,000
see some of that work as well.

3207
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:31,634
We're just not an athletic district,

3208
02:34:31,634 --> 02:34:33,000
we're an academic district

3209
02:34:33,166 --> 02:34:35,867
and I want to make sure you guys have a calendar to see both

3210
02:34:36,133 --> 02:34:38,033
so you can get to some of those events as well.

3211
02:34:38,133 --> 02:34:41,033
I know I was at, but Isaac, we were at a school and

3212
02:34:41,133 --> 02:34:43,300
and they were highlighting their musical performances.

3213
02:34:43,300 --> 02:34:45,700
So we do some great things and we got a shout it out

3214
02:34:45,700 --> 02:34:47,767
and show it up and bears one.

3215
02:34:47,767 --> 02:34:48,767
That's it for me.

3216
02:34:53,166 --> 02:34:55,867
- Okay, fantastic. And then we're at the board debrief.

3217
02:34:56,000 --> 02:34:58,266
So I know, like I already said, my one little bit was,

3218
02:34:58,266 --> 02:34:59,533
it was just a lot to absorb

3219
02:34:59,533 --> 02:35:02,700
for me was my one like thought on this was I'm used

3220
02:35:02,700 --> 02:35:05,834
to the screencast so this being a change was thinking about

3221
02:35:06,100 --> 02:35:08,734
like that balance from like my reflection would be the

3222
02:35:08,734 --> 02:35:11,567
balance of how much front loading versus how much absorption

3223
02:35:11,567 --> 02:35:14,100
during the meeting is gonna be like the right fit.

3224
02:35:14,133 --> 02:35:16,634
But I, I loved the format. I don't know about anyone else.

3225
02:35:16,634 --> 02:35:18,066
This is our first try at this.

3226
02:35:18,100 --> 02:35:21,066
If you have immediate kind of reflections on what we thought

3227
02:35:21,066 --> 02:35:22,934
of our first committee of a whole.

3228
02:35:24,734 --> 02:35:26,033
- Yeah, I liked all the content.

3229
02:35:26,333 --> 02:35:28,533
I wish there was a way to also somehow condense it

3230
02:35:28,533 --> 02:35:29,667
so it's a little bit shorter.

3231
02:35:30,233 --> 02:35:31,300
Like not a lot shorter

3232
02:35:31,433 --> 02:35:33,133
but just take a little bit shorter would be awesome.

3233
02:35:34,133 --> 02:35:35,367
I'm not sure how to do it though.

3234
02:35:35,367 --> 02:35:37,333
So I don't have any suggestions for solutions

3235
02:35:37,467 --> 02:35:40,133
because I think everything was pretty much necessary

3236
02:35:40,433 --> 02:35:41,500
and it was really great.

3237
02:35:41,734 --> 02:35:43,634
But yeah.

3238
02:35:48,033 --> 02:35:52,900
- Any other, yeah, - The only other thing

3239
02:35:52,934 --> 02:35:55,266
I think would be nice is to be able to have something

3240
02:35:55,266 --> 02:35:57,467
where we can like at the end talk about like

3241
02:35:59,066 --> 02:36:00,900
if this is something we need to talk about

3242
02:36:01,533 --> 02:36:03,433
at the next meeting, like at,

3243
02:36:03,667 --> 02:36:05,367
because I don't think there's a process right now

3244
02:36:05,500 --> 02:36:07,066
of like if there's something you really need

3245
02:36:07,066 --> 02:36:09,133
to get on the agenda.

3246
02:36:09,100 --> 02:36:12,000
Especially I would think for that last meeting of the month

3247
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:14,867
where we're probably not gonna be here until nine o'clock

3248
02:36:14,867 --> 02:36:16,467
because we've talked about all the things here.

3249
02:36:17,033 --> 02:36:20,266
Like is there a space for that to be something

3250
02:36:20,266 --> 02:36:23,033
that like it's the board work that we need to talk about.

3251
02:36:23,033 --> 02:36:24,467
Sometimes I think that comes up

3252
02:36:24,467 --> 02:36:27,634
and then we need to spend our time at that meeting.

3253
02:36:27,634 --> 02:36:30,100
Maybe talking about it versus it this being more

3254
02:36:30,100 --> 02:36:31,166
administrative focused.

3255
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:34,100
- Yeah, that's a great point. 'cause a couple board members

3256
02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:36,634
have email topics, which I promise are not lost,

3257
02:36:37,033 --> 02:36:39,100
but it is trying to figure out where they fit.

3258
02:36:39,100 --> 02:36:40,767
Especially with us purposely

3259
02:36:41,300 --> 02:36:43,166
reducing our governance meeting time, which I think is

3260
02:36:43,166 --> 02:36:46,467
where some of those topics naturally would have fallen.

3261
02:36:46,834 --> 02:36:49,066
And then trying to respect that we all just added committee

3262
02:36:49,700 --> 02:36:51,100
time to our calendars.

3263
02:36:51,100 --> 02:36:52,133
So I was trying not to add,

3264
02:36:52,166 --> 02:36:55,000
but like next, maybe if we're already meeting next Monday

3265
02:36:56,066 --> 02:36:58,667
to talk about the ratification,

3266
02:36:58,667 --> 02:37:00,634
maybe we can slot in a couple of those other things

3267
02:37:00,634 --> 02:37:04,000
that I think hopefully aren't super timely conversations

3268
02:37:04,133 --> 02:37:06,166
but our board level conversations

3269
02:37:06,166 --> 02:37:08,367
that we normally would've had in the governance meeting

3270
02:37:08,834 --> 02:37:10,367
that I didn't know where to put quite yet,

3271
02:37:10,367 --> 02:37:11,634
but I promise I'm not lost.

3272
02:37:11,834 --> 02:37:14,433
And yet if there's, maybe there is a place where at the end

3273
02:37:14,433 --> 02:37:16,767
of the meeting we, maybe even in the debrief you can just

3274
02:37:16,767 --> 02:37:18,000
say parking lot comment.

3275
02:37:18,100 --> 02:37:19,300
Like it would be nice to see

3276
02:37:20,033 --> 02:37:21,834
this on a future board meeting agenda.

3277
02:37:22,000 --> 02:37:24,033
I think that would be allowed in the debrief is like it

3278
02:37:24,033 --> 02:37:25,634
would be nice to see this on a future agenda

3279
02:37:26,266 --> 02:37:28,767
if we are all comfortable with using the debrief that way.

3280
02:37:28,934 --> 02:37:30,000
I like that. Yeah.

3281
02:37:30,266 --> 02:37:31,333
Then we don't need a new line,

3282
02:37:31,333 --> 02:37:34,333
we just say we have permission to suggest it during debrief.

3283
02:37:35,066 --> 02:37:39,000
Yeah, it works. Okay, cool. Yeah, that's a good thought.

3284
02:37:39,133 --> 02:37:41,133
Any other thoughts?

3285
02:37:43,266 --> 02:37:47,767
Motion to adjourn. Second. All in favor? Aye.

3286
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:49,066
Have a great night everybody.
