Welcome members. 89 00:11:12,037 --> 00:11:14,057 [applause] 90 00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:24,480 Okay, finally, um, we have another familiar face, Amy Ghart, our new 91 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:28,640 director of early childhood. Mrs. Ghart's dedication to the Thompson 92 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:32,240 School District spans three decades. She first joined the district as an early 93 00:11:30,079 --> 00:11:36,240 childhood special education teacher, later sharing her expertise as an 94 00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:39,440 instructional coach.

As you know, I will be visiting you frequently. 110 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:49,033 So, >> congratulations, Amy, on your new role 111 00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:49,033 board. [applause] 112 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:58,959 » That's it. >> That's it. All right. Agenda item 3.2 is 113 00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:03,920 public comment. Uh, Dawn, would you read the preparatory statement and then we'll 114 00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:07,040 move on into public comment? Because the board wants to hear the viewpoints of 115 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:10,560 the public and also needs to conduct its business in an orderly and efficient 116 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:14,240 manner, it will schedule time during its regular board meetings for brief 117 00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:17,519 comments and questions from the public. The board will set a time for public 118 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,880 participation prior to the business portion of the meeting. The time for 119 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,200 each speaker will be limited to three minutes and each individual will only be 120 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:29,200 recognized once. If there is a large number of speakers, the board may elect 121 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:33,040 to take comments for one hour before the business meeting and conclude public 122 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,560 comment after the business meeting. Public comments and questions at a 123 00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:40,000 regular meeting may deal with any topics related to the board's conduct of the 124 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:44,079 schools. Speakers may offer such criticism of school operations and 125 00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:48,639 programs as concern concern them, but are encouraged to exercise their speech 126 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,760 rights responsibly. Speakers remarks should be suitable for an audience that 127 00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:56,720 includes kindergarten through 12th grade students. Personnel matters will be 128 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,839 discussed in executive session. Finally, as a reminder to all present, the board 129 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,920 and staff do not respond to public comment. This is our opportunity to hear 130 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:09,040 from students, parents, and patrons. The board may discuss public comments later 131 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:13,320 in the agenda or on future agendas. Uh first up, we have Jeff me, 132 00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:29,519 the Jedi Knight of P Flag Fort Collins. Jedi stands for justice, equity, 133 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:33,760 diversity, and inclusion. And tonight, I'd like to speak about inclusion. I 134 00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:37,600 spent 12 years teaching middle and high school and international schools across 135 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,440 Africa. And I've seen firsthand the importance of creating an inclusive 136 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:45,040 classroom. A classroom teacher is not just an educator disseminating 137 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,600 knowledge, but rather a role model of how to fairly interact with and respect 138 00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:53,279 other people. My international students came from all over the world, had 139 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:58,320 different skin tones, spoke different languages, and worshiped various gods. 140 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:03,040 However, Africa is not known for being accepting of the LGBTQ community. So, my 141 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:07,519 classroom became a safe space where teens could present their authentic 142 00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:10,639 selves. And that space mattered. It meant the world that a young person who 143 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,320 has to hide their identity could be themselves in my classroom. And what 144 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:18,560 mattered most was that I saw them for who they were. And I respected them for 145 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:23,519 being that person. I used their desired pronouns and in doing so normalized 146 00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:28,560 their true selves to everyone else in class. As we begin this new school year, 147 00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:33,920 I want to remind the board that Thompson School District advocates for a student 148 00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:39,440 centered learning model emphasizing four characteristics: integrity, respect, 149 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:44,079 relationships, and continuous improvement. Tonight, I'd like to speak 150 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:49,120 about respect. Respect is discussed in Thompson's strategic plan in focus area 151 00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:53,759 two, inclusive and supportive culture. Respect is a primary element of student 152 00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:59,360 learning means supporting every student regardless of race, ethnicity, religious 153 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:03,120 affiliation, or sexual orientation. Thompson School District has both 154 00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:09,040 students and teachers who are members of the LGBTQ community, and they deserve a 155 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:13,440 safe space to learn, work, and teach. Personal opinions or faith perspectives 156 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:18,240 that stifle or attack individual identity are detrimental to creating 157 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:22,720 that safe space. and students, teachers, parents, and board members actively 158 00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:26,880 working against such a policy should be held accountable. You cannot talk out of 159 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:31,759 both sides of your mouth on creating inclusive environments. Students and 160 00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:37,120 teachers are relying on you to make decisions that respect them and promote 161 00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:40,000 a culture of acceptance. So, as we launch a new school year, let's remind 162 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:44,000 ourselves of the core values that Thompson School District revolves 163 00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:48,399 around: integrity, respect, relationships, and continuous 164 00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:53,120 improvement. Thompson School District's website states that quote, "These values 165 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:57,279 are not just words. They are a compass for every decision, every action, and 166 00:16:55,199 --> 00:17:01,279 every interaction across Thompson School District." 167 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:07,520 As the greatest of all teachers, Yoda once said, "Do or do not, there is no 168 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:10,480 try. You cannot try to create inclusive schools. You have to do it. 169 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,120 » Thank you. >> Thank you. 170 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,600 » And may the force be with you, >> Danny Lawrence. 171 00:17:17,199 --> 00:17:24,959 » Oh, shoot. I'm sorry. I misread the clock. That is my bad. I really thought 172 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:30,720 it was over, not under. I apologize, Jeff. That was my missing. 173 00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:36,160 Yeah. Sorry, Danny Lawrence, you're up next. And now I know how to read the 174 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,160 clock. Sorry, Jeff. 175 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,640 Thank you for the opportunity. Uh my name is Danny Lawrence in Northern 176 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:52,559 Colorado. I work as a disability advocate for children and families 177 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:57,039 navigating the public education system. And for several years, I've attended IEP 178 00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,960 and 504 meetings in your districts for families needing support. After what I 179 00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:04,400 witnessed in May and dealt with over the summer, I felt compelled to come here 180 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,840 tonight and make a public promise. You see, I too have a student with a 181 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:12,160 disability. My son is visually impaired and just graduated from PSD. In the 13 182 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:16,720 years it took to educate him. We went to due process five times, spent nearly 183 00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:20,480 $60,000 in legal fees and wrote more state and federal complaints than you 184 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:24,400 can count. I have been speaking at board of education public meetings twice 185 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:28,400 monthly for five years in Pter school district trying to bring some community 186 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:32,559 awareness to Fort Collins. Protecting these families comes from a personal 187 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:36,720 place for me. And what I saw in May I can't unsee and it haunted me all 188 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:40,799 summer. I saw a school district bullying a single mother who had to have legal 189 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:45,760 counsel to be at the table. And it was absolutely misogynistic done by men and 190 00:18:43,679 --> 00:18:49,679 male staff completely intended to bully, harass, and manhandle a single mother to 191 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:53,280 force her and her son from the school district. And it is not the first time 192 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:57,120 I've seen it. I watched it happen last school year to another mother with a 193 00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:01,520 visually impaired child. It seems that it's now an intentional strategy for TSD 194 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:05,280 when civil rights are asserted. You clearly have an ADA compliance issue 195 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:09,280 here and frankly we're lucky to get off as easy as you did in my opinion. But 196 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:13,440 I'm not going to allow this retaliatory harassment that I've been witnessing to 197 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,320 continue for vulnerable mothers. And if you are a female board member, I think 198 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,919 it's start time to start paying attention if you care about your 199 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:23,039 community. For the fathers of disabled students in this school district, know 200 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,799 that your child requires you now to be at the IEP table. Take that day off of 201 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,559 work to just simply be there to protect your child and their mother. As a board 202 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:34,799 member, I would be requesting the data to see how many IEP and 504 students 203 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:38,080 leave this district to homeschool because I bet that number is astonishing 204 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:42,240 and contributing to your declining enrollment. So, my promise to you 205 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:46,559 tonight is to be as diligent here moving forward in TSD as I have been in Pter 206 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:50,000 School District. I don't like bullies. I vow to start crowdsourcing funds needed 207 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,280 to protect these women and their children legally from your school 208 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:57,120 district and to write for free any complaint for a disabled student who 209 00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:00,880 can't get help from TSD because I've had it. And a side note, if you cared about 210 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:04,400 the transparency in your community, you'd create an actual process and 211 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,000 develop a portal for Kora requests in TSD. Since everyone knows that your 212 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,600 communications department is behind the public shaming social media page, 213 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,799 Thompson Reform Watch, you might want to get someone and something that is fair 214 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,559 and impartial to get public records from. For the folks who have already 215 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:23,039 claimed that I support Nancy or Moms for Liberty, I have been a registered and 216 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:26,480 voting Democrat for 34 years. Nothing is farther from the truth. And just know 217 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:31,120 that slander and defamation is something I am happy to pursue and already have to 218 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:34,720 help children access their education. It doesn't have to be this hard, you guys. 219 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,880 Parents are the enforcement entity of IDA, not by choice. So, quit being so 220 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:44,080 buttthurt about it and just start training your staff. And thank you 221 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,640 again. I will see you in September. Kella Pot. 222 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:04,159 Good evening. Uh uh my name is Calip. I want to say uh thank you to the board 223 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:08,880 president, board members, Dr. Heler for the opportunity for open comment. Um as 224 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:13,039 I said, my name is Calipot. I am the state director for Odyssey of the Mind 225 00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:18,880 and I actually reside in Fort Collins and uh have been involved with Odyssey 226 00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:24,480 of the Mind since 2000 I want to say in some form or fashion as a parent, coach, 227 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:29,200 etc. OM has been in Colorado for over four decades now. You may wonder what 228 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:33,600 Odyssey of the Mind is. It is an afterchool creative problem solving 229 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:38,240 program. Teams choose one of six different problems to solve uh over the 230 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,679 course of the season and they present their solution in an eight-minute 231 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:46,159 performance. Each problem has a different uh flare 232 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:50,559 from vehicles to technical to interpretation of classics, a balsa 233 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,960 structure, a humorous performance, and one even dedicated to those kindergarten 234 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:59,360 through 2 grade to introduce them to the program. Through Odyssey of the mind and 235 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:04,000 participation in the program, children develop those critical thinking skills, 236 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:10,000 uh, creative problem solving, teamwork, collaboration, communication, 237 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:17,039 and many steam 21st century skills as well as developing their growth mindset. 238 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:21,440 Um, more importantly, they have fun. Um, and they don't even realize that they're 239 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:26,159 learning through the process. Um, which is a wonderful thing. Thompson school 240 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:30,320 district had been active uh involve actively involved with Aussie of the 241 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:35,520 mind up until 2014 at which time they went with a group of people who split 242 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:40,240 from Aussie the mind in the early 2000s. While participating in Aussie the mind 243 00:22:37,679 --> 00:22:46,159 uh Thompson school district had uh 12 or more uh schools actively involved with 244 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:51,440 20 to 30 teams. Since joining the other program, participation has decreased 245 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:58,159 significantly and is now down to four schools and six teams 246 00:22:54,320 --> 00:23:03,120 and as uh in 20 as of 2026. Meanwhile, participation in Oz the mind has 247 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,320 continued to grow. One reason may be the cost which is on everybody's mind these 248 00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:14,159 days with district funding challenges. For just one team is a 33% increase to 249 00:23:11,919 --> 00:23:20,240 participate in the other program over OM. It's uh 550 in the other program. 250 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:26,159 For one team, it's 365 in Odyssey of the Mind. For three teams, it is a 68% 251 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:32,240 increase. 1,650 for three teams to participate versus 252 00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:36,799 515 in Odyssey of the Mind. I think you get the idea. The reason for these 253 00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:41,600 increases is that the other program fee is per team whereas Aussie the mind 254 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:45,120 membership is per school where each school or community group can field up 255 00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:49,039 to five to eight teams for only one membership fee. I hope in these 256 00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:52,960 challenging financial times, Thompson School District would re-evaluate their 257 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,640 relationship with the other program and consider returning to Odyssey of the 258 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:01,039 Mind for the sake of the kids participation, the financial impact on 259 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:06,320 families and the requirements for teams to travel further than is necessary. I 260 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:11,039 thank you for your time and I have literature here. May I give this to the 261 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:15,320 board secretary? >> Okay, wonderful. Thank you so much. 262 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:34,559 Hello, my name is Joanna Johnson and I am a TSD parent, volunteer, committee 263 00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:40,159 member and community member. My address is PO Box 762, 264 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:44,039 Loveland, Colorado 80537 and my number is 970-6696541. 265 00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:51,919 I am speaking on the topic of accessibility and discrimination. 266 00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:58,880 I would like to ask for an update on the status of the Big Thompson Elementary 267 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:03,919 School ADA concerns. In March of 2026, I submitted a formal written concern to 268 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:10,320 TSD that the operations department had removed the ADA parking spaces at Big 269 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:15,679 Thompson Elementary School in 2019 and had not in the seven years since ever 270 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:20,640 replaced them. The following month, a tsd employee 271 00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:25,679 confided in me that a fellow professional who was a wheelchair user 272 00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:30,960 had repeatedly been unable to enter Big T, but that her concerns had not been 273 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:36,000 addressed. This employee also shared that another individual who had to use a 274 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:39,840 wheelchair due to a broken femur was no longer able to get in and out of the 275 00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:45,919 school building and had to move to a different school. That tsd employee who 276 00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:50,960 confided those things to me no longer works here. 277 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:54,720 Later that month, I received a formal letter of reply from the school 278 00:25:53,039 --> 00:26:00,559 district. Here are some of the findings from their 279 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:04,880 official report. Quote, I gathered evidence and information regarding your 280 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:09,039 claims. This included meeting with the leadership of the tsd operations 281 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:12,720 department, touring Big Thompson Elementary School with the current 282 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:17,760 principal, and meeting with both our legal counsel and our external ADA 283 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:22,080 consultant." End quote. Please note, this statement verifies 284 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:28,799 that even when there isn't a lawsuit filed, PSD is still paying legal fees 285 00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:34,880 for ADA violations. The report also states, quote, "Per ADA 286 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:40,480 guidelines, the facility lacks ADA parking." End quote. 287 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:46,880 Despite there being no ADA access to the entire school, the TSD decision maker 288 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:52,320 concluded, quote, I have determined that the claims and associated allegations do 289 00:26:50,159 --> 00:26:57,279 not meet the standards established by TSD policy regarding discrimination. 290 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:05,200 quote, "If all women or all atheists or all 291 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:11,440 Hispanic persons were denied access to a tsd school for 7 years, would this also 292 00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:16,720 be a finding of not discrimination? I doubt it. I don't know of any other 293 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:22,480 protected classes who would be treated this way." The official report 294 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:26,720 continues, "Quote, nevertheless, your feedback regarding Big Thompson 295 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,720 Elementary 296 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,120 That's all. >> That's it. 297 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:44,159 » All right.

Um there is also an amendment to the um mileage um 353 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:21,519 component where there is a mileage um stipen instead of a mileage um 354 00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:26,240 reimbursement and that's a practice that's been in place through business 355 00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:31,440 services for many years. Um there's also revision to um the cell phone stipen to 356 00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:38,799 a cell phone being received by the superintendent as separate cell phone um 357 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:42,159 different from his um personal phone. And I think I 358 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,000 » And there is also another Sorry, there's one more revision. I had to think. There 359 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:50,960 was one more revision to um being able to handle the tax annuity that was in 360 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:55,679 the original contract. Some language needed to be um changed in order for us 361 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:59,039 to submit the funding to the proper sources. So, there was a language change 362 00:32:57,279 --> 00:33:00,960 to be able to accommodate that. >> Okay. Thank you. 363 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,919 » Sure. >> All right. Alexandra. 364 00:33:03,362 --> 00:33:07,600 [clears throat and cough] Um, 365 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:12,279 » Denise, >> I do not. 366 00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:12,279 » Don. 367 00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:25,600 » All right. Um, I had the opportunity to review the amendment in detail. I also 368 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:35,120 also talked with uh Dr. Heler about it and he is amanable to uh the language 369 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:40,960 and the content of the amendment. Anyone have a final comment or question related 370 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:45,919 to that? At which point then I will entertain a 371 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:51,399 motion to approve the first amendment to the superintendent contract. 372 00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:51,399 » I move. 373 00:33:51,760 --> 00:34:00,720 » Okay. Laura, did you get those? All right. Any further discussion? 374 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:04,720 Would you please call the role? Did you have discussion? I I was just going to 375 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:10,399 say that we did have a quite an extensive uh discussion on this at our 376 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:14,960 executive session. So I think that's why the questions are very minimal. 377 00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:18,639 » So thank you. >> All righty. 378 00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:20,159 » Stu Boyd >> I 379 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,440 » Denise Chapman >> I 380 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,560 » Lori Goel >> I 381 00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:24,159 » Don Kirk. >> Hi. 382 00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:25,440 » Alexander Lesum. >> Hi 383 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,800 » Nancy Rumfel. >> Hi. 384 00:34:27,359 --> 00:34:37,679 » All right. So that motion passes six to nothing. We'll move to agenda item 385 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:42,800 number seven, pardon me, to number six, discussion items. There are no 386 00:34:39,839 --> 00:34:47,040 discussion items for tonight's meeting. Uh we'll move then to number seven, 387 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:51,359 which is board communication. I'll read the brief statement that 388 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:55,839 introduces that each member of the board has the opportunity to report on events 389 00:34:53,520 --> 00:35:01,440 or to communicate with other board members and the community. limit of 390 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:05,079 three minutes per board member. And I'm gonna start with Nancy. 391 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:14,640 » Um I really I just hope everybody had a great summer. I know I had a very 392 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:19,280 relaxing July off and um did a lot of garden stuff. And then also just a 393 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:24,320 little bit of reflection. and I'm entering the sixth school year since 394 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:29,920 I've been on the board and there's been a lot of changes along the way and I 395 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:34,720 think it's good that they've been positive changes. It was, you know, I 396 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:41,040 think some of us acknowledged that it was a little bumpy at first as we got 397 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:46,880 used to differing viewpoints and ways of expressing and communicating with each 398 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:52,720 other. But I think what I see now on the board is a well-rounded board that has 399 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:58,400 lots of different viewpoints and perspectives and beliefs that really 400 00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:05,040 represent the entire community. And I see that most of us have really learned 401 00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:08,640 how to listen to each other. um doesn't mean we have to agree with we're we 402 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:14,320 agree with each other but I really feel like we're we're just kind of coming 403 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:18,960 into our own of learning how to accept listen and 404 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:25,119 work together as a board and sometimes we vote differently and sometimes we 405 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:29,440 don't but we still seem to me uh unified that was not the case when I first came 406 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:34,880 on the board but I think that that's good progress I think it's it says a lot 407 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:39,920 about the members of this board and how we really reflect the community now. And 408 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:45,040 I know that again change is hard and it's sometimes difficult for people to 409 00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:50,079 accept different views, but everyone has their own belief and positions and I 410 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:56,545 think I think it's good work that we've done and I just want to say thank you. 411 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,200 » Thank you, Alexander. [clears throat] 412 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:03,839 » I don't think I have anything. >> All right, Denise. 413 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:09,000 » I I don't have anything tonight. Right, Don. 414 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,000 Okay, Lori. 415 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:22,960 The preamble to the Colorado State Constitution. We the people of Colorado 416 00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:27,330 with profound reverence for the supreme ruler of the universe in order to form a 417 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:30,880 more independent and perfect government [clears throat] establish justice, 418 00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:34,880 ensure tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general 419 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:39,119 welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, 420 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:44,880 do ordain and establish this constitution for the state of Colorado. 421 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:50,000 colleagues and community members. I was excited to see the 20 250 150 posting on 422 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:54,960 the district website at the beginning of the month linking to activities 423 00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:59,440 celebrating America and Colorado. With hopeful anticipation, I clicked on it 424 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:04,079 and sadly that website listed nothing in tsd. In light of that, I want to offer a 425 00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:10,800 brief reflection on how our state was founded. In 1858 to 59, the Pike Pikes 426 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:15,520 Peak gold rush drew thousands to these mountains. camps sprang up in near 427 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:20,880 Cherry Creek in Denver. Yet, even amid the scramble for riches, the gospel was 428 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:24,800 proclaimed. In the fall of 1858, the first recorded Christian sermon was 429 00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:30,400 preached under the cotton woods near Aurora. Rough miners gathered on logs 430 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:34,560 and stumps to hear it. Soon men and women of faith, Methodists, Catholics, 431 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:39,200 Presbyterians, congregationals, congregationalists and Baptists, circuit 432 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:44,000 writers, pastors, and priests all followed, establishing churches and 433 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:49,680 schools in the wilderness. They brought order, charity, and the word of God to a 434 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:55,680 raw frontier. Among these early settlers was Aunt Clara Brown, formerly an 435 00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:59,200 enslaved woman who arrived in 1859. She [snorts] opened the first laundry in 436 00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:03,119 Central City, recovered gold dust from minor clothing through hard work and 437 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:07,280 thrift, and became a successful businesswoman. More importantly, she 438 00:39:05,599 --> 00:39:11,359 opened her home for worship, helped plant a church, taught Sunday school, 439 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:16,480 and became known as the angel of the Rockies. This was for her char Christian 440 00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:20,880 charity. Her life reminds us that God used both men and women of faith to lay 441 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:25,920 Colorado's foundations. When the Colorado territory was 442 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:29,839 organized in 1861, its first governor helped select the territorial seal and 443 00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:36,000 motto nils nume nothing without the deity or 444 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:40,079 nothing without providence. The framers deliberately pointed beyond human 445 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:44,800 effort. When the people drafted their constitution, they opened with the 446 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:49,520 solemn words that I opened opened with. They sought justice, liberty, and good 447 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:54,480 government under God's authority. This is Colorado history. As a school board, 448 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:58,637 we inherit a public education system whose original American purpose was that 449 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:02,320 children would learn to read expressly [clears throat] so they could read the 450 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:09,920 Bible and become virtuous self-governing citizens. As we celebrate 150 years, may 451 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:15,119 we like those pioneers again declare nil sin nume. Nothing without the deity, 452 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:19,760 nothing without providence. May God continue to bless the centennial state 453 00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:22,640 and keep her people faithful to him. Thank you. 454 00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:28,320 » All right, I'll conclude board communication. Um 455 00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:33,599 along with several of my board colleagues, I was pleased to attend the 456 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:40,560 new teacher orientation. Um several of us uh lined up outside the 457 00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:46,240 entrance to Mountain View High School and applauded and cheered the new 458 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:51,280 teachers as they uh entered the district. Some of the new teachers are 459 00:40:49,119 --> 00:40:55,920 firstear teachers, never having taught elsewhere, and others are experienced 460 00:40:53,599 --> 00:41:01,119 teachers who have come to Thompson School District um later in their 461 00:40:58,319 --> 00:41:07,520 career. I was honored to have been asked to be part of the program and to share 462 00:41:04,319 --> 00:41:13,359 the stage with uh me members of the superintendent's cabinet and the 463 00:41:09,359 --> 00:41:18,319 superintendent who spoke briefly about what uh they do and what their hopes and 464 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:25,760 dreams are for the Thompson School District. And I want to conclude by um 465 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:33,760 letting you know of a conversation I had with a gentleman whose wife uh is a 466 00:41:30,319 --> 00:41:39,520 firstear teacher in Thompson and she's not a firstear teacher. She 467 00:41:37,359 --> 00:41:45,520 had taught elsewhere before the family moved moved here. She told her husband, 468 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:50,720 who then passed this along to me, that um she was so pleased with the new 469 00:41:48,319 --> 00:41:56,319 teacher orientation. She thought it was very well organized. Um she felt very 470 00:41:54,240 --> 00:42:01,839 well prepared and certainly very welcomed into the Thompson School 471 00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:06,720 District. So, hats off to Tiffany Jones and other members of the cabinet who put 472 00:42:04,319 --> 00:42:11,920 together that very important new teacher orientation program. 473 00:42:09,359 --> 00:42:15,280 With that then we'll move to agenda item number eight which is written reports. 474 00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:20,960 This evening there are no written reports board. Are there any requests 475 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:27,599 for information which is agenda item number nine. 476 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:31,440 » I would let's see where did it go. Um 477 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:38,240 oh Danny when she was up here and she was talking about the number of IEP 504 478 00:42:35,359 --> 00:42:42,560 students who leave to homeschool. if if it's possible if we could the 479 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:48,720 board could be provided that information as much as you can. I know it may there 480 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:54,400 may be limitations, but I'd be curious. Um, and the other thing is I realize 481 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:59,440 it'd be confidential, but I have no knowledge of what the incident is that 482 00:42:56,240 --> 00:43:03,280 she was talking about. So, if anyone does, I'd like that they would share 483 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:08,640 that confidential information with the board so that we have all this all the 484 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:13,680 facts. So, thank you. Okay, Sarah, does that give you the 485 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:18,414 information that you need in order to explore this? Okay, thank you. Anyone 486 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,960 else, Lori? [clears throat] 487 00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:26,800 » On the website, we do have listed uh community engagement sessions for the 488 00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:33,599 board and I would like to just propose that we uh resume that in some fashion. 489 00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:38,560 » All right. Anyone else? 490 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:48,000 » Yes. Um, we're cam wording. I'd like to 491 00:43:43,359 --> 00:43:55,599 see the data around the effectiveness of middle school grading um, and how the 492 00:43:51,920 --> 00:44:01,920 transition to high school goes for kids going from the 493 00:43:57,839 --> 00:44:07,480 meets requirements to letter grading. >> All right. 494 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,480 » Is that enough for you, Sarah? Yes. 495 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:19,119 Just a second. Let me catch up here with my notes. Anyone else? Any other 496 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:22,119 requests for information?
