That's really cool. 68 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,840 But other than that, I don't know if you guys had a chance to look at the annual land trust 69 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:15,100 training. So that was the PowerPoint that I sent out beforehand. This is linked to the 70 00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:19,320 But grant funds that we get through the land trust that we've talked about a couple of 71 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,000 times this year. 72 00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:26,500 So the Land Trust Council, which it consists of parents, goes through the training every 73 00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:26,740 year. 74 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,180 And then our board members are asked to go through the training every year. 75 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,960 So in the email that Elisa, I just kind of noted a couple of pages that I think are the 76 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,700 most important for you to review. 77 00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:42,600 And it's really just like what your all-revation is when deciding where the funds go. 78 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:48,580 So I know that those again on the agenda and we'll open it up to any questions. 79 00:08:54,810 --> 00:08:57,850 Do any board members have questions regarding this? 80 00:08:59,150 --> 00:09:06,010 I can share with you board members that Jasmine has very regular conversations with our 81 00:09:06,010 --> 00:09:14,410 budgeting folks to make sure that these dollars are spent appropriately and she spends a lot 82 00:09:14,410 --> 00:09:22,030 time making sure that the money spent aligns with student needs and so I really appreciate 83 00:09:22,030 --> 00:09:28,190 Jasmine's work and also Roland's work in making sure that these dollars are spent appropriately. 84 00:09:29,330 --> 00:09:33,190 So thank you to Jasmine. Thank you. 85 00:09:35,170 --> 00:09:42,350 Nothing, then I will move on to our team. I did have a question. I'm sorry. You mentioned 86 00:09:42,350 --> 00:09:49,290 training for the board? What is what is that entail? What to make sure I'm not letting that slip through the 87 00:09:49,290 --> 00:09:56,070 crack? Yeah, so I can send it again, but it's it's essentially just this power point that 88 00:09:57,590 --> 00:10:06,630 USP has got. Yeah, the training. Yes, that's the training. Just to see what the timeline is, what your 89 00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:17,390 obligations are as a board number and kind of, you know, holding the account of also what I should be doing in the meetings. Yeah. Thank you. 90 00:10:19,270 --> 00:10:32,470 All right. If we want to action items. And so the first being reviewing the minutes of the previous board meeting, which was also sent out, but I can show it here as well. 91 00:10:36,770 --> 00:10:38,670 Any questions or. 92 00:10:40,930 --> 00:10:42,510 comments on the notes. 93 00:10:44,830 --> 00:10:54,790 Not from me and I will go ahead if there are no questions and make a motion to approve our previous forward meeting minutes. Can we get a second? 94 00:10:55,370 --> 00:10:58,430 I'll second that. Thank you all in favor. 95 00:10:58,430 --> 00:11:03,470 Hi. Hi. Hi. 96 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:11,970 All right. And then we have our school calendar. And I apologize. I'm going to stop sort of actually. 97 00:11:12,270 --> 00:11:25,970 Just for the 2627 school year, that also means board approval. And I apologize. I don't know if you guys can see this well, but it was also sent out. And I can always send it out again. 98 00:11:27,630 --> 00:11:36,430 So our school year will start August 12 and we don't have built-in school 99 00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:40,330 breaks essentially because our students are learning year-round. And so you'll 100 00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:45,390 see that we are still going to be open during those holidays to provide support 101 00:11:45,390 --> 00:11:51,970 for our students including the month of April. And then our school year would end 102 00:11:51,970 --> 00:11:57,610 the May 21st and our students are encouraged to attend summer schools but they can continue to 103 00:11:58,270 --> 00:12:03,530 gain those high school credits. We're still working in six LPs so our students are only taking 104 00:12:03,530 --> 00:12:08,710 two courses every learning period. So that won't change any 105 00:12:11,370 --> 00:12:13,590 questions or clarification on this 106 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:15,310 I 107 00:12:25,550 --> 00:12:37,270 will ask for a motion to approve the 2627, the right point, Utah calendar, 108 00:12:39,730 --> 00:12:47,130 then I was motion Jamie was second all in favor. 109 00:12:54,050 --> 00:13:02,890 I'm going to go back to the school land trust and so this is for the 25-26th 110 00:13:02,890 --> 00:13:07,510 school year. I am asking to have a second amendment. I did get approved by the 111 00:13:07,510 --> 00:13:11,810 Land Trust Council already. It's leftover funds from a couple of the 112 00:13:11,810 --> 00:13:21,150 categories. So our field trips, we have $10,839 that I moved to our meetings. We did do, 113 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:26,870 like Thanksgiving point this year, we were doing the Libyan Science Day Fair with the Libyan Science 114 00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:34,850 Day field trip that includes the positive bus. We still have those funds left over. And then our 115 00:13:34,850 --> 00:13:42,730 math tutor position has $4,673 that I'm looking to amend. We had about two months where we had a 116 00:13:42,730 --> 00:13:48,410 hard time hiring a math tutor. We do have one now. So I'm looking at about $2,000 still being 117 00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:53,990 allocated towards that but there are funds left over and they do need to be spent. So all together 118 00:13:53,990 --> 00:14:01,830 I'm asking that we use $15,656 and 84 cents to purchase more from looks which 119 00:14:03,110 --> 00:14:05,590 We will meet because our enrollment next year 120 00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:08,790 were allowed to go to 500 and we do try to provide one 121 00:14:08,790 --> 00:14:10,130 to them from books for our students. 122 00:14:10,690 --> 00:14:12,050 That's very important for us. 123 00:14:12,770 --> 00:14:15,010 So again, I'm looking to amend those funds. 124 00:14:15,210 --> 00:14:17,490 The land trust parents have approved that. 125 00:14:17,870 --> 00:14:20,270 And then it needs to be board approved before our business 126 00:14:20,270 --> 00:14:21,470 management approves it. 127 00:14:25,210 --> 00:14:28,670 Thank you for all the meetings you took to be able to figure out. 128 00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:34,090 What was sent in and also for being so diligent in trying to make sure 129 00:14:34,090 --> 00:14:42,450 that that math tutor was was available, that is a tricky position to fill. So I also completely 130 00:14:42,450 --> 00:14:51,730 support you in your desire to have Chromebooks in and ready for students. So the board understands 131 00:14:51,730 --> 00:14:56,250 once those Chromebooks come in, there's still a lot of work, we don't just hand them to kids, 132 00:14:56,250 --> 00:14:59,910 And so we have to put firewalls on them and all kinds of things to 133 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,480 It could save and make sure that they're using them for the correct purpose. So it will be great to have a little bit of extra time for Jasmine Taylor and their team to have those ready to to give to all the kids. And I didn't get a chance to say this before, but this team has worked in what an incredible year for them to get 400 kids from nothing to learn about the school, come in and roll. And then 134 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:35,700 start earning credits and feeling really good about where they go to school and the folks 135 00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:37,620 that are serving them there in Utah. 136 00:15:37,940 --> 00:15:46,760 So I will make a motion that we approve the land trust amendment to purchase these 137 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,420 Chromebooks with the leftover funds. 138 00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:50,200 Can we get a second? 139 00:15:50,660 --> 00:15:51,420 I'll second that. 140 00:15:52,820 --> 00:15:53,960 Thank you, Stephanie. 141 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,920 All in favor? 142 00:15:57,620 --> 00:15:58,260 Hi. 143 00:16:05,220 --> 00:16:11,280 Thank you. The next item is the election procedures for the land trust. And this is just 144 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:18,520 outlining how we have a school needs to post on the website what the land trust is and 145 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:24,460 how parents can join the land trust council. It also includes the election procedures to 146 00:16:24,460 --> 00:16:31,300 bring on a new parent or guardian of a student. It's not different from the one we 147 00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:36,180 approved last year. It's the same. It does need to be approved every year. And it 148 00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:41,020 goes into details too about, you know, having a quorum and if I were to be on 149 00:16:41,020 --> 00:16:45,340 the council, it needs to be more parents than there are staff members and things 150 00:16:45,340 --> 00:16:49,680 like that. So again, it hasn't changed. It just needs to be approved every year. 151 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,780 somebody else want to make a motion? I feel like I'm doing all the motions. 152 00:17:04,530 --> 00:17:15,950 Okay, then I'll go ahead then and make a motion to approve the election procedures for 2627 for the land trust. 153 00:17:18,270 --> 00:17:19,150 I'll second that. 154 00:17:21,210 --> 00:17:22,230 All in favor? 155 00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:33,090 Hi. Hi. I'm sorry who second the motion. Stephanie. Thank you all. You're welcome. All right. 156 00:17:33,690 --> 00:17:39,630 This one I'm excited about because I learned a lot this year with the Land Trust Funds. So I'm 157 00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:48,110 more confident with how the funds were allocated this year or for 2627. So our goal really is going 158 00:17:48,110 --> 00:17:55,670 be more in the mathematics. And because our enrollment has gone up, the funds have gone up. 159 00:17:56,630 --> 00:18:02,250 And so the goals aren't changing. We're still going to use our events and a platform to assess 160 00:18:02,250 --> 00:18:07,510 students and see where the growth is. We're still going to provide our teachers this time to look at 161 00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:14,690 that data and change their instruction based on it. But I've just changed the funds 162 00:18:14,690 --> 00:18:21,450 category slightly based on what was learned this year. So we would like to start the year off with the 163 00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:27,770 math tutor. So there's still that allocation of the $8,000 for a math tutor. The field trips based on what we 164 00:18:27,770 --> 00:18:38,230 spent this year, $7,000. We purchased the IEP software for our sped students. We would like to renew that next 165 00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:45,110 spring when that comes up. So that's $5,500. And then our middle school students were at 86 166 00:18:45,970 --> 00:18:53,010 middle school students right now. 50 of those being eighth graders with one teacher. So we 167 00:18:53,010 --> 00:18:58,350 would like to hire a middle school teacher next year to help support those students. And so 168 00:18:58,350 --> 00:19:02,370 allocating 54,000 to another middle school teacher. 169 00:19:05,370 --> 00:19:08,530 Any questions, comments, input, 170 00:19:14,780 --> 00:19:16,080 not for me 171 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,080 I know, again, that you spent a lot of time working on this. 172 00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:22,080 Were you going to ask your questions, Stephanie? 173 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,940 No, I was just saying no questions from me. 174 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,880 Let's get out of here for me either. 175 00:19:27,860 --> 00:19:28,000 Okay. 176 00:19:30,180 --> 00:19:34,380 Just someone want to make a motion to approve. 177 00:19:36,620 --> 00:19:38,800 I'll make a motion to approve. 178 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:51,960 be let's see where I'm the 26 27 election procedures approval plan plan 179 00:19:51,960 --> 00:20:08,780 land trust plan 6 26 27 land trust plan approval perfect I'll second 180 00:20:11,860 --> 00:20:24,380 Alright, and then this next one is our work credit course. I want to revisit this and Christina, I would love for your input, because I'm sorry, I'm talking. 181 00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:31,800 So we, we, we, we came to the board of approval last time was that students to get one credit 182 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:37,560 for working outside the school if they providing paid stuff and going through the right 183 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,240 thinker course. 184 00:20:39,540 --> 00:20:44,460 So our staff has brought it to our attention and our school councilor too that a lot of 185 00:20:44,460 --> 00:20:51,320 students work more than the 105 hours and a lot of other schools provide more credit based 186 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,080 on those hours. 187 00:20:52,480 --> 00:21:05,000 And so I just wanted to bring it to your guys's attention and again, if Christina, you have any input on that with your experience working with students who typically, you know, work while still going to high school if we want to increase that credit. 188 00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:17,140 If we want to keep it doesn't necessarily need to be an action item, but I just wanted to bring it to your guys's attention and let you kind of talk over what you think would be best. 189 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,480 Again, our school counselor has brought it to my attention a couple of times, but a lot 190 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:27,180 of students are working more than those 105 hours in the light to give them more credit. 191 00:21:27,380 --> 00:21:32,360 And she has sent me transcripts from other school districts that does show they will add 192 00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:34,920 more elective credits for students in that area. 193 00:21:36,940 --> 00:21:41,200 But right now, because of the way we did board approve it, they're capped up with one credit. 194 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:59,570 So Jasmine, in your research into this and then I'd love to hear what Christina has to say and what she's seen and Stephanie, you may have seen things to other schools that you work with along the lines of this. 195 00:22:00,490 --> 00:22:10,710 Did you get some detail on how many credits they, what's the maximum? 196 00:22:10,710 --> 00:22:17,690 How many hours? What work are they doing in conjunction to show what they're learning at their job? 197 00:22:18,490 --> 00:22:26,790 Do we have some guidelines and maybe if you did maybe came back to the board at our next board meeting with some recommendations? 198 00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:29,970 That'd be great. 199 00:22:33,820 --> 00:22:34,280 Yeah, 200 00:22:37,890 --> 00:22:48,670 I know I know that us adding the bright thinker in is is not typical. It's usually just the past tense, but I wasn't comfortable with just that and I know our team wasn't comfortable with just that. 201 00:22:49,930 --> 00:22:59,750 But as far as going over that credit, what that looks like, yeah, I can I can do some research on that in the surrounding school districts and kind of what their requirements are. 202 00:22:59,750 --> 00:23:06,270 I think that would be really great because we definitely want these kids to be able to earn 203 00:23:06,270 --> 00:23:16,990 credits and make up many of them for being deficient in credits and lots of our kids do have to 204 00:23:16,990 --> 00:23:25,570 maintain work. So we want to make sure that it's thoughtful and that they are able to get credit for 205 00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:34,090 for that. What are the board members? What have you guys seen and what thoughts do you guys have? 206 00:23:37,380 --> 00:23:42,820 What code are they using, Jasmine, or the other schools? And yeah, I have the same questions, 207 00:23:42,820 --> 00:23:47,160 like yeah, I have the same questions because they can't just be given out credit. Where if they are, 208 00:23:47,220 --> 00:23:53,860 I need to know who they are because I'm a classroom just kidding. But yeah, well the cactus could 209 00:23:53,860 --> 00:23:59,500 What do we have is here and that's what we, you know, what are they using there? Do you know, do you know, what is it tied to? 210 00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:05,940 I'm assuming the same cactus code is we use, you know, we looked into the. 211 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:13,240 Horse codes at from the US people ones and then what the local school districts were using. 212 00:24:14,740 --> 00:24:21,440 But I can triple check that and ensure that, you know, it would be there using two different codes. 213 00:24:21,980 --> 00:24:26,380 Oh, okay. Is what my guess would be what it be on the trends? 214 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:34,640 No, yeah, no, it's not. So you'd have to actually talk to a counselor to see what they truly are doing. 215 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:35,620 Okay. 216 00:24:35,780 --> 00:24:42,180 And it might be interesting to see what they're doing. But yeah, we need to make sure we tie it to some type of applicable outcome. 217 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:49,120 Right. Not just going to work at, you know, seven, 11, getting a paycheck like it has to be applicable. 218 00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:53,360 Otherwise, it doesn't do the student any good. Besides gravity, which is important. 219 00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:57,560 I like a life skill. I like a life skill out of it. 220 00:24:58,540 --> 00:24:59,420 I like that. 221 00:25:02,030 --> 00:25:03,110 A durable skill. 222 00:25:04,030 --> 00:25:05,330 That's what we're calling it now. 223 00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:06,470 A durable skill. 224 00:25:06,490 --> 00:25:07,010 I like that. 225 00:25:07,410 --> 00:25:07,630 Yeah. 226 00:25:10,290 --> 00:25:12,550 Okay. Well, I'll start there. 227 00:25:13,950 --> 00:25:19,250 I'll connect to some transcripts that we've been getting that have multiple credits for working 228 00:25:19,250 --> 00:25:25,570 and see what those factors are. That'll be awesome. And you can call me or whatever, too. 229 00:25:25,810 --> 00:25:34,250 So, yeah. I'd love to know what objectives learning objectives are or durable skills. Is that 230 00:25:34,250 --> 00:25:41,290 what you called it? Christine? Yeah, okay. I'd love to know what those are for these other schools. 231 00:25:41,290 --> 00:25:49,590 that that would be very interesting to note and to you know make sure that we are duplicating things 232 00:25:49,590 --> 00:25:57,670 that work well for kids. So yeah and and we just started a big durable skill campaign this school 233 00:25:57,670 --> 00:26:02,650 year so Jasmine I'm gonna put in the chat a link to our durable skill area we've been trying to get 234 00:26:02,650 --> 00:26:07,850 out to every CTE teacher I don't know if your teachers are on our list serve but they've been working 235 00:26:07,850 --> 00:26:11,730 on durable skills throughout this whole year with their students, so I will put that 236 00:26:11,730 --> 00:26:12,470 in a chat for you. 237 00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:14,860 Okay. 238 00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:15,760 Well, I appreciate that. 239 00:26:15,820 --> 00:26:17,400 I wish you durable skills. 240 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:18,640 Thank you. 241 00:26:18,740 --> 00:26:18,940 Yeah. 242 00:26:23,060 --> 00:26:25,260 Any other input thoughts 243 00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:28,630 on the card? 244 00:26:29,930 --> 00:26:34,490 So this section item does not get approval at this time correct? 245 00:26:41,050 --> 00:26:46,490 No action. No action at this time. Thank you. 246 00:26:49,390 --> 00:26:57,410 We have Taylor here. Taylor, I don't know if you're available, but I have the MOU with the IRC if you want to talk on that. 247 00:26:57,410 --> 00:27:11,270 I guess I'm still here. Sorry I'm driving so I might camera as well, but it evening board members. I just want to present to you guys a MOU opportunity that we have with the International Refugee Committee. 248 00:27:11,930 --> 00:27:21,650 They have referred three students to us so far this year these students are coming from war torn countries primarily in the Middle East and Africa. 249 00:27:21,650 --> 00:27:28,190 And these students have done a lot of work with us this year, just learning English and 250 00:27:28,190 --> 00:27:33,630 adapting to an American learning environment and be just earning some credit. 251 00:27:34,270 --> 00:27:41,090 One of our six stories, her name is Fatima and she is aging out of our program so we are 252 00:27:41,090 --> 00:27:46,830 looking for programs that we can refer her to so she can finish her GED or High School 253 00:27:46,830 --> 00:27:52,890 diploma and adult ed program. But she has earned about four or six credits with us this year, 254 00:27:53,070 --> 00:27:58,450 so I'm really proud of the work that our team's done with her particularly. A few others are 255 00:27:58,450 --> 00:28:04,870 her names Carla and another one is a boo. These students have done really well just trying to 256 00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:10,470 adapt into that American learning environment and making up as many credits as they can as they 257 00:28:10,470 --> 00:28:15,750 continue living their lives here in Utah. The IRC did propose an MOU 258 00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:21,330 agreement between Brightpoint Academy of Utah and themselves just as they find 259 00:28:21,330 --> 00:28:27,450 more students that might need this sort of platform and our model they think 260 00:28:27,450 --> 00:28:31,510 that would be really beneficial for their organization so I just wanted to 261 00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:36,270 present this tonight and speak to it a little bit and see if this is something we 262 00:28:36,270 --> 00:28:37,630 would like to vote on tonight. 263 00:28:40,350 --> 00:28:42,190 I just anyone have any questions about the 264 00:28:47,750 --> 00:29:16,750 I like that we have on our screen share right now the sort of the neutral things that the two organizations would be agreeing to and all of this is completely in line with our mission to find and serve under served kids, which is it looks like this is the great partner because they do the same thing. 265 00:29:16,750 --> 00:29:39,530 And I love that we already are serving students at Thrive Point Academy of Utah, and that we're seeing kids have success, and that these folks over at IRC feel that they have a good education partner to refer these kids that are going through an awful lot in their life too. 266 00:29:39,950 --> 00:29:43,810 So I personally am very supportive of this. 267 00:29:43,890 --> 00:29:45,390 I think it's wonderful. 268 00:29:48,350 --> 00:29:54,950 I'd love to hear from the other board members what questions you have about the IRC for Taylor, 269 00:29:55,590 --> 00:29:59,970 for, you know, how this partnership came to be. Any questions you guys? 270 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,940 Talk. I don't have any questions, but I think it sounds great. It sounds just exactly in line with our overall mission of what we want to do and who we want to serve. And I think it seems fantastic. Taylor, so whose job is it to find their alternative and after they've they're done with thrife point and what data are we sharing back with them? Are we sharing data back with them? Or I worry about compliance? Yeah, great question. 271 00:30:28,940 --> 00:30:31,320 And so in the MOU, if you look, 272 00:30:32,980 --> 00:30:37,060 Jasmine, could you find the section that talks about data sharing? 273 00:30:37,340 --> 00:30:38,120 I think it's right there. 274 00:30:38,860 --> 00:30:39,820 Yeah, it's up. 275 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:40,620 It's up. 276 00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:41,700 Okay. 277 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,840 So I think it's pretty basic. 278 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,960 Nothing transformative. 279 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,820 It would just be a basic student success plan that our staff uses. 280 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,300 It's not a full transcript, but it just, 281 00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:00,440 because it just shows the progress that the students have made. 282 00:31:01,260 --> 00:31:08,000 So the people at the IRC that are referring students to us, it's their success coaches as 283 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:08,240 well. 284 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:15,080 And so they're trying to find partners that they can at least get some feedback on how well 285 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:15,720 they're progressing. 286 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:22,520 They're not asking for full transcripts or for all the data that we would have, but they 287 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:29,560 are asking for at least some sort of update and that could be verbal or written. Do you have any 288 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,060 recommendations on how we might be able to do that more successfully or on compliance, how we 289 00:31:34,060 --> 00:31:40,080 could do that better? So where it says for students with signed authorizations, you only deal with 290 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:47,120 the student, right? There is no parent involvement. The parents, the students that we have, they are 291 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:54,020 over 18. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, they've been referred just because they're older. That's typically 292 00:31:54,020 --> 00:32:00,260 who this organization has worked with in the past. Just because of the current 293 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:07,720 immigration situation, they don't have a lot of clients, but when they do, maybe in the next 294 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:14,760 couple of years, have a increase in immigration and refugees coming to Utah. They do want to change 295 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:21,340 this verbiage so that it could also account for students seven through 12th grade who are under 18. 296 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:27,920 Okay and I mean I'm sure you have yet a legal team look that over right because in in traditional 297 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:35,120 high schools 18 and not graduated still need parents approval but this is this is separate so I'm 298 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:40,400 not sure as long as the legal your legal department has said that that's okay you're probably okay 299 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,880 just I would just verify that because in a traditional school that wouldn't be the case. 300 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:51,080 Gotcha. Um, we can, yeah, Shane, go ahead. Yeah, yeah, I'm just going to say thank you for 301 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:57,120 for that recommendation. I know this is sent over to Chris, but I will circle back with him and make 302 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:03,380 sure that he doesn't want anything changed here and that that he's okay with the way it is currently 303 00:33:03,380 --> 00:33:06,060 written. Great. Great. Thank you. 304 00:33:09,970 --> 00:33:13,030 Any other questions or Taylor anything more to add? 305 00:33:14,310 --> 00:33:28,730 No, not particularly. Just one last comment. I'm really proud of the IRC and the work that they do just with new people coming to the state. I think the work that we've done just working with these kids has been great. 306 00:33:29,110 --> 00:33:40,910 So that was the update I wanted to give and if we need to change anything, I'm happy to work with Chris and what the IRC to make it to change some verbiage if needed. But thank you so much. 307 00:33:42,290 --> 00:33:55,830 Yeah. Thank you, Taylor, for your hard work on this. And I agree with you. They are a great organization and it's great to think we can give them some support in the work that they do and vice versa. 308 00:33:56,310 --> 00:34:04,570 So I'm going to make a motion that we approve the MOU with the IRC. 309 00:34:05,450 --> 00:34:18,150 as long as Chris Nelson signs off on this, as long as he signs off on it. So I will be responsible for getting that over to Chris. 310 00:34:20,770 --> 00:34:21,790 I'll take it back. 311 00:34:22,350 --> 00:34:25,850 Thank you and all in favor. 312 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,240 I'm sorry. 313 00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:49,080 Okay, we've got all eyes and I will bring that back to the board if there's anything that needs to be changed if he gives it a thumbs up, we'll move forward with it. 314 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,060 Okay, next item on the agenda. 315 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,400 The last action item. 316 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:02,720 So this is our anti-hasing and corporate punishment policy that we do need to get board approved. 317 00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:09,620 And so it essentially outlines how we create a safe and respectful learning environment 318 00:35:09,620 --> 00:35:20,080 for students and for staff and outlines what that consists of and to make it bigger if needed. 319 00:35:20,980 --> 00:35:23,480 There's any questions around the language. 320 00:35:25,820 --> 00:35:30,960 This is also a very, very competitive chance to be kind of quickly to speak it and 321 00:35:46,610 --> 00:35:46,710 it 322 00:35:46,710 --> 00:35:51,110 does comment on how, you know, we do have students online as well, so it outlines what 323 00:35:51,110 --> 00:35:52,690 that looks like too. 324 00:36:17,510 --> 00:36:19,790 Does anybody have any questions, Jason? 325 00:36:22,210 --> 00:36:25,470 Is this, did we approve one of these last year? 326 00:36:27,370 --> 00:36:34,990 Yeah, it's not we're for Cognia.

It's not actually an option for them. 373 00:39:24,980 --> 00:39:30,820 I don't know if this will ever need to be implemented and if that's the case, is it appropriate 374 00:39:30,820 --> 00:39:31,620 to have a policy? 375 00:39:31,820 --> 00:39:32,140 I don't know. 376 00:39:32,260 --> 00:39:35,760 That would be something I would need to lean on you guys on to guide me with. 377 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:38,140 Dr. Amy. 378 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:39,720 Yeah. 379 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,860 I'm, I hope I'm off mic, yeah. 380 00:39:42,540 --> 00:39:49,900 So I'm concerned about having the school board need to approve every single one. 381 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:59,960 I mean, it seems if there were a policy in place and the school board approves that, then 382 00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:07,740 that would function and they could delegate the looking at the student's records and 383 00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:09,960 all of that to the director of schools. 384 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,660 I'm just trying to protect all your time people. 385 00:40:17,660 --> 00:40:23,940 It's like, you're already generous for giving your time to try it for yourself. 386 00:40:24,780 --> 00:40:34,380 I think what would be a good thing for us to do, Jasmine, if you and Dr. Amy and myself 387 00:40:34,380 --> 00:40:40,080 want to schedule a time to meet, we can kind of go over how we do this at the other 388 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:49,200 drive points and you know it's just your one I would confidently say you are going to come up with 389 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:55,400 these kids going forward now that the word's getting out about drive point and you will get them 390 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,120 we get them you know in the other states a 391 00:41:01,140 --> 00:41:07,060 few each year so but I would also agree that it it doesn't 392 00:41:07,060 --> 00:41:33,140 probably need to be board approved, but we could certainly share with the board what internally we are looking for to make sure that these kiddos, I'm going to use Christina's term here that they met all graduation requirements and that they have the durable skills and capacity to move forward to their next big step. 393 00:41:33,140 --> 00:41:43,140 So I think we put a little thought around this using the other schools as maybe guideposts. 394 00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:47,840 And then we can just bring it back to the board with like, here's what we're going to do 395 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,540 and just as a read out. 396 00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:53,500 All right. 397 00:41:55,850 --> 00:41:57,190 Then that's all I have. 398 00:41:57,970 --> 00:42:03,410 I didn't know if we wanted to touch base on upcoming meeting dates 399 00:42:03,410 --> 00:42:15,170 or the next meeting date that I had in mind and we discussed is Wednesday, May 27th. 400 00:42:17,350 --> 00:42:25,810 Roland wanted to talk about the budget presentation or proposal for next year, I believe. 401 00:42:26,310 --> 00:42:31,730 He said that the board needed to have two meetings, one to present the budget and then another 402 00:42:31,730 --> 00:42:35,190 meeting later on to approve that budget. 403 00:42:41,380 --> 00:42:44,520 Jasmine, can you remind the board of the date of the graduation? 404 00:42:45,700 --> 00:42:49,340 Yes, oh my goodness, thank you so much and I want to invite you guys as graduation. 405 00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:59,840 So we will be hosting graduation and I will send the flyer on May 22nd at 11am at 406 00:43:01,860 --> 00:43:03,440 the Salt Lake City 407 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:11,080 community college, the Miller campus.

So it's been a big day 409 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:23,060 for our school and for our students. There's a couple of super seniors in there and not saying 410 00:43:23,060 --> 00:43:28,920 being a senior isn't exciting, but you know, over 18 and having graduated, it's a big deal for some 411 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,140 family. So, I can't remember about that.
