[0:03]
Okay, this is Juan de Gallup. I'm the chair tonight.
[0:11]
I can go. Oshanara, principal. Tracy McDermott, teacher. Come on, we are a board member. Just at the end of opening up.
[0:38]
How was Hayden?
[0:39]
Oh
[0:43]
boy.
[0:44]
Oh, it was fine for a minute.
[0:46]
It used to be like 15.
[0:49]
Um, too bad to just say your name for attendance.
[0:52]
Uh, Tesla Shuffler, school operations.
[1:21]
You might need to connect Hayden on a different computer.
[1:25]
Uh, no, I can't create you.
[1:26]
I don't know if you have it.
[1:27]
You did your runs.
[1:29]
Uh, no.
[1:30]
I can hear you now.
[1:33]
Can you hear me?
[1:34]
I don't think Hayden or Ross.
[1:35]
Oh, he said he couldn't hear us.
[1:37]
I
[1:40]
have a question for Kamala and Joseph while we're waiting for this.
[1:45]
Last year, graduation we heard from two wonderful women from the board.
[1:51]
Now it's wondering if you two wonderful men would like to make short remarks.
[1:58]
At graduation?
[2:00]
It's on the schedule. I will be more than happy to do that.
[2:03]
That would be wonderful.
[2:05]
So I won't be there. My son is graduating on that day.
[2:22]
I think it's at 5 o'clock, because we do not play Fiji immigration education,
[2:32]
Okay, same day five of fog until 30. I'll see if Sam's diamonds a key. I can do a me key to be part three for formats
[2:43]
Sorry, maybe next year
[2:47]
And he is part of it, but he cannot make it
[2:53]
Congratulations on your son
[2:56]
All
[2:58]
right, so we're gonna use the phone to talk to Hayden
[3:02]
and he's going to present up there.
[3:06]
Go ahead, Hayden.
[3:09]
Okay, wonderful.
[3:10]
I'm just going to share with you guys the FY26 budget summary right now.
[3:20]
Here's just the budget summary listed in
[3:28]
2026.
[3:29]
So as going through this, again, keep in mind that there is, I believe,
[3:35]
the intentions for the Evo on an FY26 final budget.
[3:40]
So as we work through this, you know, we'll kind of disconnecting.
[3:47]
So starting off like the crisis revenue, you can see between a local state and federal
[3:52]
you guys year to day actuals is $3,382,969 on a $4,280, because of the $320 budget.
[4:04]
It's at 80.2%, you can see your local revenue, you know, you guys have received quite a generous
[4:09]
amount between the Wheeler foundation grant as well.
[4:19]
We just put in some green
[4:20]
burstments in the mid of April, so we should see those hit at the end of May's
[4:26]
allotment ML for CSI title one, things like that. So again, total revenue, looking
[4:32]
healthy. Again, looking at 80.2% expenses. You can see that everything's either white
[4:40]
or green. So green being that you guys are, you know, well under track or
[4:45]
Excuse me, well on track of spending less than what we budgeted and why is just where the expected value
[4:53]
between the
[4:54]
100s to 800s total expenses right now are totaling a $3,134,508 on a
[5:02]
4,801,527 dollar budget into your total expenses is 76,28% so well under the 83.3% though we want to see right now
[5:13]
And then income from operations currently $248,461 were projected to be around $136,795 for
[5:26]
the FY26 final net income numbers and I just want to take a quick pause and explain what
[5:33]
it is that the board would essentially be voting on so it would essentially be obtaining
[5:38]
this forecast column on his far right to then be your guys new approved multiple
[5:49]
things so
[5:56]
you
[5:56]
can see this monthly revenue to expense the red being the expense over these last ten months
[6:07]
budget is
[6:10]
this four million eighty one thousand five hundred twenty seven dollars
[6:14]
of which that three million one hundred thirty four thousand five hundred eight dollars has
[6:19]
already been expense. So that would leave you with 947,090
[6:39]
have set of
[6:47]
917,000
[6:50]
essentially because
[7:07]
again the biggest thing that would
[7:12]
avoid is what's called
[7:14]
the budgetary compliance finding and that is
[7:41]
there. Can you guys hear okay?
[7:43]
Does
[7:47]
everybody know what the Wheeler Farm Foundation?
[7:54]
No I did that so the Wheeler
[7:59]
foundation, $75,000 grant for, and it's for the music program, so that'll hold it towards
[8:07]
the show.
[8:13]
So Cynthia, nothing to do with that, but yeah, I mean, the trucking company, we do, and we've
[8:26]
We've gotten it almost every year for the last six or seven years, right?
[8:31]
For music.
[8:40]
So no questions for Hayden.
[8:42]
It's pretty good.
[8:43]
Okay.
[8:44]
All right.
[8:44]
I think we can move on, Hayden.
[8:49]
I'll switch over.
[8:50]
Well, I guess I'll go through the rest of this report really fast.
[8:52]
And then we'll go to FY27.
[8:54]
And so this
[8:58]
is our, in
[9:02]
all right here,
[9:02]
those ratios to keep in mind.
[9:04]
I know you guys don't have any debt service coverage or bond to me,
[9:08]
but just always nice to know where you're landing in the event that you guys
[9:11]
do want to go after a bank loan or a bond loan is
[9:17]
actually what a lot of
[9:17]
lenders like to see. So we even have 1.25 listed there right now. So you guys
[9:22]
are doing great in regards to both the
[9:28]
just the ending cash found
[9:32]
low trend
[9:33]
the PTIF reserve. So right now as of April 30th the PTIF was a million five hundred
[9:41]
six dollars.
[9:45]
June 30th so the end of fiscal year we're expecting it to be around
[9:49]
$1,500,777,599 and then wrapping it up is just your resident enrollment. Last when
[9:58]
I spoke with Usha, it was still about 200 Usha, is that still fairly accurate? No, it's
[10:04]
202.
[10:07]
202. So it sounds like the
[10:16]
26th
[10:27]
over to the FY27 budget now, so it's getting one
[10:31]
moment.
[10:33]
So are we going to come back to the FY26 to approve that one?
[10:39]
It's what I'm just kind of going off if I don't know if you want to vote on that right now
[10:46]
At a sense we just did it so whatever the board chair or the board wants to do
[10:54]
Essentially is there anything you were planning on going over in the detailed document?
[11:01]
No just because all of those highlighted summer
[11:15]
so do you want to hear next year's
[11:19]
Budget and then vote on all of it together
[11:22]
Okay, we're ready to go on to the FY27.
[11:27]
Okay, perfect.
[11:38]
Spreadsheet, again, you guys saw it last month.
[11:45]
A little bit of changes, which we'll go over.
[11:48]
The first one being obviously the update in the FY26 year today.
[11:53]
Actuals and FY26 forecast.
[11:56]
So all of these numbers between the actual within the forecast
[12:00]
transpose on the budget summary and the budget detail.
[12:03]
So the budget summary that we just went over, if you can recall the total expenses was
[12:09]
that $4 million for $27.00 a year so you can cut out
[12:20]
a $26.00 if you'd like, but this
[12:22]
column L is the changes between FY26 and FY27's budget, and obviously this column O would
[12:29]
be the FY27's forecast together,
[12:35]
so just working through this again, your local revenue,
[12:38]
so the total for the 1,000's, you can see the change there.
[12:45]
I think I just stable the paper that he's talking about in the back, so he's on the 1,000s.
[12:57]
And then the totals that he was referring to are on the back of the second page.
[13:03]
Sorry, they're all kind of mixed up.
[13:05]
If you want to separate them, that might actually make it easier to
[13:11]
go ahead, Hayden.
[13:12]
So,
[13:16]
for the effort
[13:20]
in local revenue, we currently have 81,000 five.
[13:26]
The reason it's having such a decrease is just because the uncertainty of whether or
[13:31]
not we will receive the Wheeler donation again or the donation again by 27 if it's looking
[13:41]
optimistic that we will be able to receive those, we'll add them into the budget, but for
[13:46]
the timing and just the initial presentation of it, we just want certain if that's going
[13:51]
to be guaranteed money, so we left it out for what it's worth. So you can see the difference
[13:56]
there of about $82,000 from FY26 to 27. So I'm sorry, Hayden.
[14:03]
Revenue. Go ahead. The Wheeler grant is supposed to be for next year, though.
[14:10]
So the donation that we received this year,
[14:13]
Oh my goodness.
[15:00]
This 1,300,300,101 is based on a 200 enrollment count. And then the other one that's heavily driven on enrollment, being the charter school local replacement, this $758,600 for FY27 is also based on a 200 enrollment count. So if you take that $3,793, they get per student and typed it by 200 enrollment, that's how you're going to get 758,600.
[15:29]
$600 there. So does the number at the top just need to be changed, Hayden?
[15:36]
What was that? Does the number up at the top just need to be changed?
[15:40]
Because it still says $230 fees. No, so the number of top is just what was based on the
[15:50]
the, sorry, the state legislature estimate. So all these other figures are still at
[15:56]
233. It just goes to programs in particular that we decrease 10.
[16:03]
Obviously, when you're
[16:05]
October 1 enrollment comes,
[16:17]
so we would update the
[16:21]
official October.
[16:25]
Thank you.
[16:31]
Okay, there's salary adjustment, a little bit of an increase with the school and trust.
[16:40]
So 69,183. So you can see throughout the document, there's some programs that are getting a small
[16:46]
increase, others that are getting a little bit of a decrease. And then you can see a few
[16:50]
that are totally done in particular. So again, the school fee amendments and the school based
[16:56]
education support stipend. Both those programs are
[17:02]
all schools. So for state revenue total,
[17:06]
we have it at $3,263,167, and then moving down to federal revenue.
[17:20]
This time is the lunch program.
[17:23]
just got a change to 220,000 and then we were awarded a CSI for next year so the
[17:31]
low performance and low graduation we were awarded those and so we got to
[17:36]
actually see them.
[17:42]
So overall total federal revenue right now is it sits $641,657
[17:48]
and so you can see the total revenue right now.
[17:59]
Any question with revenue before
[18:00]
Before we run through the state, are the expenses, excuse me?
[18:06]
Just why did we lose the Title III money
[18:11]
and the ELSA?
[18:38]
Do you put in that?
[18:47]
Thank you.
[18:48]
So we were just used to the board saying, hey, we did get awarded this and here's extra
[18:55]
funding that we didn't originally forecast for rather than the
[19:08]
conservative approach that
[19:09]
we just decided to take there.
[19:11]
Yeah, and the ELSA was actually a grant that we applied for.
[19:18]
They gave it because funds were available at that time.
[19:22]
Yeah, and we fully expense it for FY26, so we're just not sure if there'll be any funds available for FY27.
[19:35]
To the revenue portion,
[19:56]
that 3% raise proposal is still what's listed in there.
[20:00]
Obviously, a change in the stipends because of some of those state programs going away that were solely meant for stipends.
[20:07]
So, therefore, there would be a decrease in your seconds overall.
[20:10]
The benefits portion, again, no change from last month to this month when you're seeing
[20:16]
this.
[20:17]
So, you can see a little bit of an increase for health benefits, a little bit of an increase
[20:22]
for FICA based on the case schedules for the 300s.
[20:27]
I have a question.
[20:28]
No change.
[20:29]
Yeah, go ahead.
[20:30]
Do we still have the 2500 for our principal this supplemental? Okay, thanks
[20:46]
Services as you can see just a small change of a thousand two hundred and forty from year to year
[20:53]
So really not much of a difference really just decreased the audit service because
[21:00]
years
[21:02]
Single audit
[21:08]
CVE
[21:20]
252 560 budgeted for FY 27
[21:25]
The 400 you purchased property services for FY27, we have you guys budgeted at 434,617.
[21:36]
Obviously the biggest difference would be that monthly lease.
[21:40]
So an expected 3% increase last year and the year prior is what we're expecting.
[21:48]
So we baked that into the forecast there for your guys is FY27.
[21:53]
and forecast, moving to the 500s, your other purchase services.
[21:58]
So you can see the changes in different aspects.
[22:01]
So a little bit of a change in the bus passes,
[22:06]
just because you guys didn't even need the full 32,500 this year.
[22:10]
So we threw a back a little bit just to change some for that bottom.
[22:15]
So overall, you can see the changes happening between FY26 and 27.
[22:21]
All in all, we have you guys at 57,100 for the total 500s, moving down to supplies and materials.
[22:29]
Right now, we have you guys at 39,000 by
[22:37]
26 to 27, most of which is just coming from the computer tech and hardware.
[22:43]
But you guys are going to land this here, so instead of having 80,000, we drew a back sum again to help with the net income bottom line.
[22:53]
to the 700, your property and equipment. You can see just a small change there as well for the
[22:58]
technology hardware software. I'm going to give you these your bigger time purchases. So if you
[23:06]
like any sort of chrometian board purchases or any of those big
[23:15]
cabbie guys at 22,500 for next year
[23:18]
and then wrapping it up the do's and fees, banking fees, any other build.com.
[23:30]
Total expenses.
[23:31]
We
[23:33]
have you guys at three million nine hundred seventy four thousand seventy four dollars, and then you can see obviously the change from year to year.
[23:42]
So I'm just shaping about a hundred thousand off between what was forecasted for final budget this year versus the initial budget.
[23:49]
And then you see right now what you're
[23:55]
12,000 just because again of those.
[23:58]
list for the
[24:09]
issues with any of the FY27 budget or even FY26 if anything's came to mind.
[24:15]
Is there any forecast for the move like any expenses that we've planned for in order to move?
[24:23]
I think it's secure two days of move versus what you are seeing.
[24:30]
Oh great.
[24:31]
They're forward to move.
[24:32]
So they're getting numerous trust for two days.
[24:35]
We should.
[24:35]
Other five?
[24:37]
Right.
[24:39]
Yeah.
[24:40]
The other thing is that I didn't put you to anything for that.
[24:43]
Okay.
[24:44]
I still don't know if there were expenses that were anticipated.
[24:47]
Just all the new books.
[24:49]
Boxes and tape.
[24:51]
Yeah.
[24:51]
And we didn't think of any like new purchases we would need.
[24:55]
I think we'll take everything that we have and then probably as we go through the year,
[25:01]
there might be needs that will help.
[25:08]
And Steve also reminded us that we could go to the warehouse and get some things that we need there, so we'll see.
[25:17]
Right now we're not anticipating any big purchases that we need because of the booth.
[25:22]
Yeah, that was my question.
[25:23]
I was also offered to go there and when they're ready to see what they want to win behind so they just don't even have to do a good themselves.
[25:31]
Got it.
[25:32]
Yeah.
[25:34]
That's smart.
[25:36]
Okay.
[25:36]
We'll work with Jared.
[25:37]
Go on then.
[25:39]
Where are they moving?
[25:41]
I
[25:53]
can't remember.
[25:55]
Go on then.
[25:55]
I should remember.
[25:57]
I should remember.
[25:57]
It'll probably pop in your head.
[25:58]
Yeah.
[25:59]
Wow.
[26:04]
Okay.
[26:05]
Any other questions for Hayden?
[26:07]
Any red flags, Hayden?
[27:37]
It's so much.
[27:39]
Thank you.
[27:40]
Of course.
[27:41]
Any red flags for you?
[27:43]
You said?
[27:45]
No.
[27:46]
I did.
[27:46]
I think it's mainly enrollment we need to be worrying about.
[27:50]
I mean, we were at 1.90, 1.90, like most of the year.
[27:58]
And then we picked up a couple more kids.
[28:02]
So we're actually at 200, which is what the budget is based on.
[28:08]
He just needs 30 more kids.
[28:11]
OK.
[28:12]
No, well yeah enrollment is the biggest worry. How many students are ever getting?
[28:19]
Fifty-one. Fifty-one.
[28:21]
Yeah, sort of.
[28:23]
One day when I was 50, I was huge.
[28:26]
Nobody seems to have left, sorry, but we're working.
[28:28]
Our graduating program.
[28:30]
Yeah, it's going to be about that.
[28:35]
That's a big class.
[28:36]
It's a big class.
[28:37]
Is that our biggest?
[28:39]
We've had the one with Treesar and them as a faculty student class, but it's fabulous.
[28:47]
We had one in the first year.
[28:50]
Really?
[28:51]
Our smallest graduate student?
[28:52]
We're only going up.
[28:55]
It's like one to nine.
[28:57]
It's a big one.
[29:01]
Okay.
[29:01]
Thank you so much.
[29:03]
First we'll look at the April minutes before we vote on the budget.
[29:07]
I'd
[29:36]
like to make a motion to approve the minutes.
[29:43]
Both.
[29:45]
Joseph?
[29:47]
And...
[29:48]
What's the second one?
[29:49]
Okay.
[29:50]
Just in time.
[29:52]
Do you all approve?
[29:55]
All right.
[29:57]
All right.
[30:01]
So, you should help us figure out the final budget and the initial, the final budget, the 26. So, that's the, this one, that one. Okay. Everybody. Okay. All right. We're looking at the FY 26 one, maybe. Okay. Yeah. Are you looking at the summary or the detail? Yeah. Since you went over the summary, aye.
[30:38]
Any comments?
[30:42]
Okay.
[30:43]
Thanks Hayden. That's my phone.
[30:45]
Yeah. I really want to make a motion to adopt this budget.
[30:50]
I remember that we adopt a distributed 27 budget as a result.
[30:57]
Thank you. All the second.
[31:00]
And is everyone approved?
[31:02]
Yes. All right. We did that.
[31:05]
and then let's consider the 27 initial budget.
[31:13]
Oops, I think I already said that.
[31:16]
What was the other one?
[31:17]
The other one is the final budget.
[31:19]
This year's Christmas.
[31:20]
Yeah, so...
[31:21]
I fall.
[31:21]
Let me...
[31:22]
Can I amend my...
[31:23]
Yes, please do.
[31:25]
Motion.
[31:26]
I moved to approve the fiscal year 26 final budget.
[31:37]
Okay, let's have a motion on the 27 initial budget.
[31:43]
Well, we got a vote on the 26th.
[31:44]
Sorry, it was my fault.
[31:45]
We need to work.
[31:46]
Yes.
[31:49]
Okay.
[31:49]
All in favor?
[31:50]
All in favor?
[31:51]
Yes.
[31:52]
All right.
[31:52]
Thank you.
[31:54]
Now we are looking at the initial initial budget approval for 27.
[31:59]
And I'll make a motion that we approve the fiscal year 27 mission.
[32:04]
I'll send it.
[32:06]
Okay.
[32:08]
I will approve.
[32:10]
Hi.
[32:11]
Thank you so much.
[32:12]
Thank you.
[32:13]
Okay.
[32:14]
We have a teacher here.
[32:16]
Okay.
[32:18]
Yes.
[32:19]
So we have a few comments to room for me.
[32:23]
Or the next one.
[32:26]
Ms. Mullender, I'm going to start off with Ms. Mullender's comment.
[32:31]
She said Utah International did not complete all of our wellness goals for 2025-26 school
[32:36]
year, and that will affect the Triennial Wellness Review, and it will cause a lower wellness
[32:41]
score for the school on next year's review, as well as compliance issues for our next state
[32:47]
audit in seven years or so.
[32:49]
Unfortunately, inclement weather and scheduling conflicts prevented us from achieving the
[32:53]
Earth Day Community Cleanup project. Teachers were required to be observed for the A2A capstone
[33:00]
visit on the rescheduled day, May 6th, from the inclement weather day. Changing the schedule
[33:08]
for the cleanup did not allow them time to review the outcomes of their visit with Usha.
[33:14]
So, however, all clubs and committees and classes helped in the cleaning crews, helped
[33:21]
the cleaning crew clean this school one week during the entire school year.
[33:29]
So she's very detailed in the way that she deals with her wellness club, committee or
[33:35]
whatever.
[33:36]
And then middle school math classes, this is my classes, are using a Zillow thing to create
[33:44]
is scatterplot that analyzes the relationship between the square footage of homes in different
[33:48]
cities along the Wasatch front and their prices.
[33:52]
As soon as we'll be creating a table, a scatterplot with labels and then finding a line
[33:57]
of best fit to make predictions about the prices and square footage of homes in our communities
[34:03]
and the final project is going to be like a poster and it's the final project for a unit
[34:11]
on data analysis. And then the last thing is the middle school cohort will be
[34:18]
shaperoning the teachers or shaper any middle schoolers to the classic fun
[34:22]
center as a reward that they earned in becoming more respectful citizens.
[34:28]
Students will be able to roller skate play, laser tag and other fun activities.
[34:33]
Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen the outing will be this
[34:37]
Friday, May 15th from 9, and until 115.
[34:41]
So could you repeat what, why they get to go to a coffee class?
[34:46]
Yeah, I'll give more detail.
[34:50]
So we were, this was a positive behavior thing.
[34:57]
We had been having mega problems with respect
[35:02]
for one another, for teachers in the middle school.
[35:04]
So rather than give consequences, which we had done plenty of, we designed with Tessa's
[35:15]
help a positive behavior outcome.
[35:18]
We said if you get 75% of these pom-poms in your basket, you will earn a day to have fun
[35:33]
somewhere. So it was a combination between like verbal cues and also having a visual and we're trying to figure out how we could quantify this 75%
[35:45]
doing better. So we have six pillars that we described to the students in an assembly that said, okay, you know, what does trustworthiness look like?
[35:54]
like what is, you know, the degree of respect, things like that.
[35:59]
We kind of outlined what that was, and then as the teachers in their classrooms,
[36:04]
they had like buckets that contained what we were seeing out of C&E, and we got little
[36:12]
pom-poms, so it would be, you know, Doug is helping Cynthia get something out of it.
[36:16]
I'd be like, wow, Doug, you're being such a good citizen right now.
[36:19]
What do you help so much with your homework, and the role would be put into the bucket,
[36:23]
and so then to keep the whole cohort working together
[36:26]
because all the different classes,
[36:29]
all the buckets were combined for the end visual
[36:31]
to see if they had achieved filling this bucket by 75%.
[36:35]
It's hard to understand.
[36:42]
Oh my gosh, and it's like, it was fun.
[36:45]
I think, for the board, maybe.
[36:47]
As far as I can tell, it has,
[36:50]
I mean, there's still middle spillers, they're not perfect,
[36:53]
but it has helped with the language
[36:56]
which that they use with one another,
[37:01]
with compliance with teacher requests and things like that.
[37:06]
So I think I've seen a positive outcome
[37:09]
from having focusing on the positive,
[37:13]
rather than a consequence, like a negative consequence, right?
[37:17]
I've seen the behaviors we want to see.
[37:19]
Right, kind of, and it's, I think it's been good
[37:22]
for the teachers too to make sure that they focus
[37:25]
on speaking the positives first
[37:32]
and we had visitors who had come before and came
[37:38]
again after they implemented this system and they actually made a comment
[37:43]
about it that they noticed a difference in behaviors in classrooms and
[37:48]
and then always so.
[37:50]
It's good, my job middle school.
[37:52]
And Tessa, who was their leader at Tessa,
[37:55]
helped us come up with ideas and implemented it.
[38:00]
I got there, it was a team.
[38:03]
Definitely.
[38:08]
Did that was it?
[38:09]
From you?
[38:10]
That was it, that's all that I got from people.
[38:12]
There's other stuff going on,
[38:14]
but I think people are so busy that they forget
[38:16]
to write it in.
[38:18]
Well, I wanted to thank you for being the representative here and many, many happy trails
[38:26]
to you as you go off into grandmother land.
[38:30]
Yeah.
[38:31]
That's my, that's my main goal, I don't know.
[38:35]
Thank you.
[38:35]
Thank you.
[38:36]
Thank you.
[38:37]
It's been a pleasure.
[38:38]
She has offered to come back and help with things and, yeah, I'd love to stay involved.
[38:46]
trying to work on those, stay testing.
[38:49]
Yes, she's going to lobby for...
[38:51]
I'm going to see if there's a way to lobby for less stay testing.
[38:55]
I don't know.
[38:56]
All right.
[38:57]
She's been with us since we had our first class,
[39:01]
first year.
[39:02]
A big commitment.
[39:04]
Thank you.
[39:04]
Like the first graduating class?
[39:06]
No, the first year.
[39:07]
You were...
[39:08]
No, I was not here.
[39:09]
Oh, you were in here the first year?
[39:10]
I was here 2016.
[39:12]
So three years later.
[39:14]
Three years later.
[39:14]
It seems like it seems like I've been here forever right? She's the first middle school
[39:20]
math teacher because we were slowly growing again so there was only one math teacher
[39:25]
that was doing middle school and high school. Oh really? Yeah. He's made a big difference.
[39:32]
Well I like that. It's been wonderful. The joy of my career I think. So thanks guys. I think
[39:42]
I got a ride I got a ride a bus I mean just a couple of things had
[39:59]
graduation I'll let you talk about that summer school we're registering for
[40:05]
summer school and I think I heard that we have 20 to 25 kids registered so
[40:11]
far but we need to check in with the other teachers. She's Desiree's running
[40:18]
summer school this year and she's expecting more students to sign up and it's
[40:27]
she's structuring it a little bit differently but we as always we're gonna have
[40:30]
two sessions, two summer school sessions, 12 days each. The first one goes from
[40:36]
June 15th to June 30th and the other one from July 1st to July 16th.
[40:41]
and Weiss, who came to us through Amy Wiley's organization.
[40:47]
She actually wants to do an extended intensive English class.
[40:52]
They're doing a lot this summer.
[40:55]
And so her class is actually going to go a week after we end.
[41:00]
So we'll keep the building open so that she can finish up her class.
[41:04]
That's been a really successful edition.
[41:07]
Yes, I think it's great.
[41:08]
kids wanted they are always asking for English classes so yeah why is this why is this why is
[41:16]
this really is also another change to summer school instead of just having classes she's also planning
[41:25]
like a seminar type of block of time where she's going to bring in presenters so it's not just one class
[41:34]
They get to exposure to lots of different things through these presenters.
[41:39]
And I think DWS has several people that they are sending for presentations.
[41:45]
I'm not sure who else she has lined up.
[41:51]
Summer school.
[41:54]
And you want to talk about graduation?
[41:58]
I don't have much.
[42:00]
It's okay. We are planning a senior breakfast. If you wanted to come in the morning of graduation,
[42:08]
a couple of students lobbied to really move presentations around so they could have more time
[42:14]
together during the day. We're planning a senior breakfast from 830 to 10.
[42:21]
Anyone's welcome to join or do you want to bring something?
[42:28]
and we put together some really cute ideas of cards and notes for each other and should
[42:35]
just be a nice collective morning. We do have volunteers who are going to be photographers
[42:41]
first, after graduation, which will be raised,
[42:46]
we'll see you through URC.
[42:49]
Other than that, or something that I think is really cool.
[42:53]
Graduation is a five.
[42:56]
Yeah.
[42:57]
A one puts five.
[42:58]
Five thirty.
[42:59]
Oh five thirty is that.
[43:00]
Five thirty is that, yeah.
[43:08]
Next week, we're taking some kids to KLCL.
[43:13]
And we're gonna highlight a youth radio segment.
[43:19]
with our students. So it should be pretty cool. They already had the loud and clear
[43:24]
youth radio that they do. But we had San Francisco here during career day and she just loved our
[43:34]
school and everything about it. So we are going to... The Shanali? No, Mara. It's a large higher student.
[43:42]
So we're taking some students, we're going to take six of their and they're kind of taking control
[43:49]
of how they want this to be. So we're starting the bios and stuff. We ask them to come up with ideas
[43:54]
and one of the girls today is we are writing her bios. She said she would really want to speak on and
[44:01]
not being allowed to go to school in Afghanistan and how it's so much different here. It's just
[44:06]
There's just empowerment and they're going to want to read their poems and do their essays and so we're going to see a lot of George's writing.
[44:17]
So we're going to come with some ideas but it's mostly going to be student-led and also hopefully that's just a little bit of advertising for us.
[44:24]
It's important to care for students.
[44:29]
By the way, is it the gateway?
[44:38]
It's really cool.
[44:39]
I think student voice has definitely increased.
[44:45]
And they've really started to give ideas
[44:48]
about how they want their graduation to look.
[44:51]
And we're just there to kind of support.
[44:53]
they have all the ideas. They asked for, because in the past we had...
[45:00]
So, everything happening on graduation day. So, they did their senior portfolio presentations in the morning, had graduation rehearsal, and then they were dismissed like around two o'clock. So, and then they had to show up to the venue by 430. So, they didn't have very much time to get ready for graduations. Amzam didn't.
[45:30]
we could have the senior portfolio presentations the day before. The senior advisors also approved
[45:36]
it and so we're going to have portfolio presentations the day before and then on the day of graduation,
[45:43]
it's just kind of a celebratory day where they have the senior breakfast on graduation rehearsal and
[45:49]
and then graduation.
[45:50]
What's the idea for it?
[45:52]
I think I think of that.
[45:56]
What time for the portfolios?
[45:59]
Portfolios.
[46:00]
So I'm still finalizing the schedule.
[46:02]
Since we eat this on that day.
[46:06]
And so we're just trying to figure out
[46:08]
how to make this work with portfolios.
[46:11]
Because we don't want, it's a graduation requirement.
[46:14]
And they get point five credits for it.
[46:16]
so we want to make sure everybody has the opportunity to do it.
[46:20]
We might start later, but I can share the schedule if you're interested.
[46:25]
Yes. I'll share the schedule.
[46:27]
I would really like to attend.
[46:32]
It'll be on 27th, 28th.
[46:35]
The younger kids are presenting.
[46:38]
If you have never attended the middle school portfolio presentation,
[46:43]
you should because it's really cute.
[46:45]
they do like a science fair style presentation. So yeah, and the ninth and
[46:55]
tenth graders do a more formal in class presentation. But those are the two
[47:01]
events and we still plan to have a field day like last year on May 29th. That was
[47:05]
very successful and a really fun day. So Abduali, Hardin, is organizing that.
[47:24]
It's like the best thing they can do, but it is, it really is, it's not a thing to put away in the past. I've been reading that Salt Lake City was to partner in this. Collaborating with ice.
[47:40]
Yes.
[47:43]
Salt Lake City. You got it. And probably all of the others except real great. I know
[47:50]
some of the others, but I don't have a clue. All right. Any other items we need to look
[48:01]
at talk about? I mean, as we I just put on here, just so we don't have the conflict and
[48:10]
have to switch the day again. I noticed that there was one second Wednesday that might
[48:17]
be a conflict. So you, I don't have the calendar with me, but I'm thinking of switching the
[48:28]
meeting in October to the third Wednesday because the second Wednesday where it's a teacher
[48:34]
work day, and that's all kind of a work from Monday, yeah. You can pass this around, but
[48:41]
so I guess what I'm trying to say is we can maintain the second Wednesday time for the
[48:48]
word meeting all months except October where there's a conflict. So I'm asking for third
[48:55]
Wednesday October and make sure just a heads up and I'll make sure to make it up again.
[49:06]
So we wait and see for a July meeting or should we just we kind of say no July meeting
[49:12]
unless something important to sense itself.
[49:16]
Which do I need, because?
[49:18]
She leads on the next item.
[49:20]
No, I don't want to get together.
[49:23]
Yeah, it's a teacher's work, so we usually have
[49:26]
like a work from her day, so it sounds great.
[49:30]
Also, what do you want the board to do for graduation?
[49:34]
Or that week, any way we can help to help prepare for,
[49:40]
were actually participating in the ceremony.
[49:43]
I do want to talk to you about the participation in the ceremony.
[49:46]
I'm sure Tessa has some ideas too, and you've already,
[49:50]
Zomzom wasn't here, but she was volunteered into participating.
[49:53]
Oh, I was.
[49:55]
Well, it's the last year we had two wonderful board women,
[49:59]
and I asked two wonderful board men, but they have other activities.
[50:03]
They have to go to site that said, I'll get back to Zamzam
[50:07]
and see if she can repeat it and that will talk yeah the again Cynthia like I
[50:16]
think it'd be great to have more board members out there participating
[50:20]
giving out awards so maybe in one person can give the awards and the other
[50:24]
person can give diplomas it was really nice to have you guys up there
[50:28]
celebrating with us I wish we could have this event yeah same time exactly now
[50:36]
Now that you have the calendar, lock it out, nothing gets scheduled on that day.
[50:42]
Okay, that's all from me.
[50:45]
All right.
[50:46]
And we'll take leave.
[50:48]
All right.
[50:48]
And as well, for the phone's meeting, how do we go into it?
[50:51]
So what we do is I'll just make a motion to turn the power on the regular board meeting and
[51:02]
we can vote on that.
[51:04]
So I hear a second on the journey into the regular board meeting.
[51:09]
Okay.
[51:11]
Okay.
[51:12]
So you're the first, you're the second.
[51:13]
You make the most of them.
[51:15]
Yeah.
[51:15]
It's Doug made the motion and it sounds down.
[51:20]
Oh, that was second.
[51:21]
Thank you.
[51:24]
Oh.
[51:25]
Okay.
[51:26]
That's going to be a long.
[51:27]
Yeah.
[51:33]
I want you to say we have a need for an executive session and then I'll make another motion.
[51:40]
The board needs to have an executive session.
[51:45]
Can someone make a motion that we do that?
[51:47]
Yeah, so there's a list of things that you can have an executive session for.
[51:51]
So I'll make a motion that we that we started an executive session with the board for the purpose of
[52:02]
Yeah, it's actually
[52:04]
competence and what is it's
[52:09]
Personnel itself doesn't doesn't give them but it's for
[52:13]
The competence of an employee or something like that. So we can discuss
[52:16]
the issues related to our principal, our administration, then we need a second of that.
[52:27]
I'll second it.
[52:30]
I'll give her a close session.
[52:35]
We are now in a close session.
