[APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT, READY.

[7. Election of Officers]

ANOTHER ONE THAT'S UNIQUE TO THIS MEETING IS OUR ANNUAL ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING, OUR ANNUAL ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING IS GOVERNED BY POLICY 12 10, WHICH SAYS THAT AFTER THE LAST ELECTION IN THE FIRST MEETING OF DECEMBER THAT WE ELECT OFFICERS FOR THIS PARTICULAR ONE, WE HAVE THREE ELECTED OFFICERS THE PRESIDENT, THE VICE PRESIDENT AND THE LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE.

THE LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE IS ONLY ELECTED ON EVEN NUMBERED YEARS, SO THAT WOULD LEAVE OUR CURRENT LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTOR HENRIKSON IN THAT POSITION.

AND HE AND I KIND OF SHARE THAT POSITION, BUT HE'S THE OFFICIAL ELECTED PERSON.

SO NEXT UP IS THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, AND I'LL COVER THAT POLICY, I HOPE YOU'LL BEAR WITH ME TONIGHT.

I'M GOING TO READ A FEW OF THE ACTUAL POLICIES AS HAVING A NEW MEMBER TO REFER TO THE POLICY MANUAL AND SAY, WHY IS IT WE DO SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO, THE WAY WE DO THEM? AND THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY'RE WRITTEN INTO POLICY AND SOMETIMES THEY HAVE A SPECIFIC TIME AND DATE IN MIND THAT SAY THAT WE HAVE TO GET THOSE ACCOMPLISHED.

SO WITH THAT IN MIND, THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE ROLE OF

[00:10:05]

PRESIDENT.

I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE MARK WATRIN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE BATTLEGROUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2022.

WE'VE GOT A NOMINATION FOR MARK WATRIN FOR THAT POSITION.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS? I GET TO ASK ONE MORE TIME.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS? HEARING NONE.

WE HAVE ONLY ONE CANDIDATE REPRESENTING FOR PRESIDENT, BUT WE DO THAT BY A ROLL-CALL VOTE.

SANDY, WOULD YOU HELP ME OUT? TED CHAMPINE DIRECTOR OF DISTRICT THREE, HOW DO YOU VOTE? I VOTE FOR MARK.

MARK WATRIN, DIRECTOR OF DISTRICT FOUR, HOW DO YOU VOTE? ABSTAIN.

JACKIE MADDUX, DIRECTOR OF DISTRICT FIVE, HOW DO YOU VOTE? MARK WATRIN, YOUR NEW BOARD PRESIDENT, IS MARK WATRIN.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GLAD YOU'RE HANGING IN THERE WITH ME.

I WANT TO MAKE A NOTE THAT I CHOSE TO SAY ABSTAIN.

THAT'S OFTEN TRADITIONAL FOR THAT, BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARY.

YOU CAN IN FACT VOTE FOR YOURSELF, FOR THE OFFICE, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW.

THANKS FOR BEARING WITH ME.

OUR POLICY, 12 20, WHICH COVERS THE BOARD OFFICERS AND DUTIES, I'M GOING TO KIND OF PARAPHRASE ON THIS, BUT THE CHAIR OR PRESIDENT PRESIDES AT ALL MEETINGS, SIGNS, ALL PAPERS AND DOCUMENTS AS REQUIRED BY LAW OR AUTHORIZED BY ACTION OF THE BOARD.

THE CHAIR OR PRESIDENT CONDUCTS THE MEETINGS IN A MANNER PRESCRIBED BY THE BOARD POLICIES, HAS FULL RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE BOARD MEETING WITHOUT RELINQUISHING THE CHAIR AND INCLUDES THE RIGHT TO VOTE ON ALL MATTERS THAT ARE PUT TO A VOTE.

IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD CHAIR TO MANAGE THE BOARD'S DELIBERATIONS TO HELP IT BE CLEAR, CONCISE AND DIRECTED TO THE ISSUES AT HAND.

HE WORKS WITH THE OR SHE WORKS WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT TO HELP PLAN THE MEETINGS.

THEY ARE ALL.

THE PRESIDENT IS ALSO THE OFFICIAL RECIPIENT OF CORRESPONDENCE AND ALSO THE SPOKESPERSON OF THE BOARD AS WELL.

IF THAT OCCASION ARISES, ALTHOUGH WE DO COUNT ON [INAUDIBLE] QUITE A LOT.

SO OUR NEXT OFFICE TO BE NOMINATED FOR IS THE VICE PRESIDENT.

DO I HAVE ANY NOMINATIONS FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

YEAH, I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE JACKIE MADDUX AS THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR SCHOOL BOARD BATTLEGROUND SCHOOL DISTRICT NUMBER 119.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE HAVE A NOMINATION FOR JACKIE MADDUX FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT'S POSITION.

DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS? DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS? HEARING NONE.

WE WILL VOTE FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD AND AGAIN, THAT'S A ROLL CALL VOTE.

MARK WATRIN DIRECTOR OF DISTRICT FOUR, HOW DO YOU VOTE? DIRECTOR JACK MADDUX.

TED CHAMPINE, DIRECTOR OF DISTRICT THREE, HOW DO YOU VOTE? VOTE, JACKIE MADDUX.

JACKIE MADDUX, DIRECTOR OF DISTRICT FIVE, HOW DO YOU VOTE? ABSTAIN.

YOUR NEW BOARD VICE PRESIDENT IS JACKIE MADDUX.

[APPLAUSE] GREAT, IT'S ALSO THE DUTY OF THE PRESIDENT TO HELP FILL COMMITTEES AS WE GO ALONG.

I'VE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS IN THE PAST, MOST PEOPLE HAVE FELT LIKE THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THE CURRENT COMMITTEES, BUT I WILL ASK IN PUBLIC AS WE ARE EXPECTED TO DO.

IF YOU HAVE ANY REQUESTS TO CHANGE OR THAT FOR THE EXISTING COMMITTEES, LET US KNOW AND THEN I CAN WORK ON PUTTING PEOPLE INTO THE RIGHT PLACE.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE ON THE AUDIT COMMITTEE DIRECTOR MARY SNITILY AND DIRECTOR JACKIE MADDUX THAT HAS ALWAYS HAD TWO POSITIONS ON IT FOR THE BATTLEGROUND EDUCATION FOUNDATION DIRECTOR JACKIE MADDUX.

AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, ROB HENRIKSON IS THE ELECTED LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE.

WE HAVE ONE OTHER COMMITTEE THAT WAS HELD BY DIRECTOR MCCOY, WHICH IS THE WIAA COMMITTEE, AND IS THERE ANYBODY THAT'S PRESENT THAT WANTS TO CHANGE COMMITTEES? I'M GOOD.

OK HEARING NONE I'LL LEAVE IT AS IT IS USING MY EXPECTATION AS PRESIDENT,

[00:15:09]

I'D LIKE TO APPOINT TED DIRECTOR CHAMPINE INTO THE WIAA COMMITTEE TO FILL THAT SPOT WITH DIRECTOR MCCOY, YOU OK WITH THAT? YES SIR.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD STARTING POINT.

AND LATER ON, WHEN WE HAVE COMMUNITY REPORTS, I BELIEVE YOU GOT A COMMUNICATION FROM DIRECTOR MCCOY, RIGHT? OR FORMER DIRECTOR MCCOY.

I'LL CALL ON YOU AT THAT TIME TO GIVE A SUMMARY.

OK, THANK YOU, AUDIENCE FOR WAITING.

NOW WE'RE GETTING BACK TO OUR TRADITIONAL BEGINNING, THIS IS OUR BOARD COMMUNICATIONS AND WE ALWAYS LIKE TO START WITH STUDENT VOICE IF WE CAN.

AND LO AND BEHOLD, WITH THE HELP OF OUR STUDENT BOARD REPRESENTATIVE, WE'VE GOT THE ASB FROM PLEASANT VALLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL.

WE HAVE ADVISER AMY PACE, AND THEN EACH OF YOU WILL HELP BY INTRODUCING YOURSELVES, RIGHT? GREAT.

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

I'M [INAUDIBLE], I AM THE SECOND VICE PRESIDENT OF PLEASANT VALLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND YEAH, SO DO I JUST GET STARTED.

DO THEY HAVE TO ANSWER? OK, SORRY.

UH, ONE ACTIVITY THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF IS OUR ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE.

GO AHEAD.

TRY TO STEP UP TO THE WHERE EVERYBODY BRINGS IN FOOD AND IT IS MAINLY BEING DONATED TO THE NORTH COUNTY FOOD BANK.

BUT WE DO HAVE A COUPLE THAT IS BEING DONATED TO FAMILIES IN NEED THAT ARE IN OUR SCHOOL, SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW.

THIS FRIDAY, WE'RE DOING THE RED AND GREEN GAMES BY GRADE LEVEL, WHICH IS WHERE DURING SORRY, UM, DURING OUR ELECTIVE TIMES, WE PRETTY MUCH JUST HAVE A BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT.

AND IT'S PRETTY MUCH JUST A WAY FOR US TO HAVE FUN AND SEE EACH OTHER MORE.

SINCE COVID, WE DON'T REALLY GET TO SEE EACH OTHER THAT MUCH.

AND WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT, BUT NOT BY GRADE LEVEL.

SO, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.

I'M LAUREN [INAUDIBLE], AND I'M THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY.

AND ANOTHER THING THAT WE'VE DONE IS THE VETERANS DAY ASSEMBLY, EXCEPT WE DID IT VIRTUALLY THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF COVID.

SO WE MADE A VIDEO AND WE HAD THE BAND PERFORM AND WE HAD A GUEST SPEAKER COME IN.

AND SO THEY SHOWED IT DURING ADVISORY ON WEDNESDAY.

AND THEN ANOTHER THING THAT WE'RE GOING TO THAT WE DID DO WAS THE POPCORN FUNDRAISER.

AND SO WE RAISED FOR ABOUT $4,000 THIS YEAR AND COMPARED TO LAST YEAR, IT WAS ONLY $500.

SO IT'S A LOT BETTER THIS YEAR.

AND YEAH, ALL THAT MONEY GOES TO ASB.

I'M SAM WATTS, THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE PLEASANT VALLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL ASB.

UH, UPCOMING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE ACTIVITY BY GRADE LEVEL WHERE AFTER SCHOOL THE GRADE LEVEL GOES AND PLAYS SPORTS IN GAMES INSIDE OF THE INSIDE THE GYM.

AND THEN ANOTHER UPCOMING ACTIVITIES IS THE COLOR RUN.

HOW LONG DOES THE FOOD DRIVE LAST? UM, IT LASTED ALL THROUGH LAST WEEK AND UNTIL WEDNESDAY, SO THAT'S EIGHT DAYS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S EIGHT DAYS.

SO YEAH.

ARE YOU DOING COMPETITION? YES, WE HAVE BONUS ITEMS FOR EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.

SO JUST TO ENCOURAGE ALL THE KIDS TO REALLY BRING STUFF BECAUSE THE BONUS ITEMS ARE WORTH FIVE POINTS WHILE OTHER ONES ARE JUST WORTH ONE POINT.

SO WE'RE HAVING A COMPETITION.

AND RIGHT NOW, THE FIFTH GRADE HAS CHALLENGED THE REST OF THE GRADES TO GET THE MOST POINTS.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU MEET AS ASB? WE MEET ONCE A MONTH.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU CAN GET A LOT DONE IN THAT ONCE A MONTH MEETING, SO THAT'S GREAT.

I'VE GOT A PICTURE ON MY PHONE OF ALL THE FOOD IN THE HALLWAY AT GLENWOOD, SO I'M

[00:20:03]

IMPRESSED HOW ALL ABOUT YEAH, I'D LIKE THE COMPARISON.

YEAH, BUT I'M CONTINUE TO BE IMPRESSED HOW THE SCHOOLS HAVE REALLY STEPPED UP AND MADE THAT AND JOIN THE COMMUNITY IN REALLY SETTING A RECORD ALMOST EVERY YEAR FOR GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

SO THANK YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FOR COMING IN I APPRECIATE IT.

OH, OF COURSE, YES.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT SYDNEY AND I ARE GOING TO TRY TO ATTEND A MEETING, MOST LIKELY ON THE 4TH OF JANUARY.

THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.

YEAH, THANKS FOR COMING TONIGHT.

THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT CREDIT GOES WHERE CREDIT'S DUE.

WE'VE ASKED OUR STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES TO HELP INCREASE STUDENT VOICE AND BOY, HAVE THEY COME THROUGH.

WE'VE HAD A PRETTY GOOD STREAK GOING, SO WE APPRECIATE THAT AND IT'D BE GREAT TO HAVE MORE MIDDLE SCHOOLS HERE AS WELL AS THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

ANYTHING FROM OUR EITHER OF OUR STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES THAT WANT TO INCLUDE.

UM, I CAN INCLUDE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PRAIRIE RIGHT NOW.

JUST THIS PAST WEEK, WE DID A FOOD DRIVE CALLED FALCON FOREST.

I'D LIKE TO THANK THE COMMUNITY FOR DONATING FOOD AND HELPING EVERYONE OUT.

IT WAS A REALLY FUN EVENT.

AND FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, EVERYONE HAD A LOT OF FUN.

DRAMA ENDED UP WINNING.

SO, YEAH, NICE.

AND WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING A SPIRIT WEEK.

THIS WEEK, TODAY WAS PAJAMA DAY AND IMAGINE GOING INTO INTO SCHOOL AT PRAIRIE IN A TIGER ONESIE.

IT'S NOT THE BEST [INAUDIBLE].

THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO ADD FOR PRAIRIE IS CLASS OF 2022, FOR YOUR CAP AND GOWN ORDER NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17.

GOT TO START THINKING ABOUT THOSE THINGS EARLY.

I KNOW I NEED TO, I NEED TO ORDER THEM.

[8. Communications]

NEXT UP IS OUR COMMITTEE REPORTS, AND IF YOU CAN GET THAT SLIDE UP, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

FIRST UP IS OUR LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, DIRECTOR HENRIKSON COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT, SO I'M GOING TO FILL IN FOR HIM.

I SAT IN ON LAST TUESDAY'S LEG REP LEARNS SESSION THAT IS OFFERED BY [INAUDIBLE], AND IT WAS ABOUT SCHOOL FINANCE AND THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE TAKING TO THE LEGISLATURE IN TERMS OF REQUESTS AND THE SLIDES THAT WERE IN THERE.

THERE'S ABOUT 27 OF THEM SO.

THIS IS ONE THAT KIND OF JUMPED OUT AT ME THAT GOES ALONG WITH THEIR REQUESTS THAT WE'LL PROBABLY PROBABLY BE TAKING TO THE LEGISLATURE.

AND SO IF YOU CAN SEE THE SLIDE, IT SAYS, HOW MANY STUDENTS DOES IT TAKE TO GENERATE ONE OF THESE EMPLOYEES? AND YOU CAN SEE I HIGHLIGHTED THE SCHOOL NURSES AND PSYCHOLOGISTS.

SO FOR AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE 5,000 KIDS IN YOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL JUST TO GENERATE THE COST OF ONE NURSE AND FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL, IT'S EVEN MORE SO.

THIS REALLY BRINGS HOME THE POINT THAT EVEN THOUGH WE SAY WE FULLY FUND EDUCATION AT THE STATE LEVEL, THERE'S SOME CAVEATS TO THAT BECAUSE IT BASICALLY SAYS YOU DON'T GET A SCHOOL NURSE UNLESS YOU FUND IT LOCALLY.

AND SO THAT IS GOING TO BE ACCORDING TO ALL THREE OF THE EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS THE SUPERINTENDENTS ASSOCIATION, THE SCHOOL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION AND THE BUSINESS LEADERS ASSOCIATION HAS SAID.

WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS ONE THAT COULD BE LOW HANGING FRUIT AND THAT IT'D BE POSSIBLE TO ACTUALLY PROVIDE A REASONABLE NUMBER.

NOW WHAT WHAT THEY MIGHT GET OUT OF THAT, I'M NOT SURE, BUT IT'S NICE TO SEE KIND OF A UNITED FRONT.

YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF PSYCHOLOGISTS IS EVEN GREATER.

THE ODDITY THAT THEY USE ON THIS ONE FOR A PSYCHOLOGIST AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, YOU WOULD NEED 216,000 STUDENTS IN YOUR SCHOOL.

AND I THINK THEY BASICALLY SAID THERE'S NOT EVEN THAT MANY MIDDLE SCHOOLERS IN THE WHOLE STATE.

SO ESSENTIALLY YOU COULD MAYBE HAVE ONE FOR THE WHOLE STATE.

AND THAT'S IT.

AND I THINK OUR OUR STAFF COULD TELL US THE VALUE OF OUR PSYCHOLOGISTS AND BASICALLY THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO MEET BY HAVING A PSYCHOLOGIST AVAILABLE.

[00:25:04]

SO THOSE AREN'T THE ONLY THINGS THAT THEY'LL BE TAKING TO [INAUDIBLE], BUT JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THAT WAS A PRIORITY.

AND I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW THE THREE ORGANIZATIONS CAME TOGETHER OVER A SIMILAR REQUEST.

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? LATER ON DURING THE WSSDA REPORT, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHERE TO FIND THE LEG REP LEARNS PRESENTATIONS THAT ARE THERE, ANYBODY CAN GO GET IT.

AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S DESIGNED FOR THE LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH DISTRICT, THERE IS NOTHING THAT PREVENTS ANY SCHOOL BOARD DIRECTOR FROM GOING AND BECOMING MORE INFORMED BY USING THE LEG REP LEARNS PLATFORM.

OK, NEXT UP IS OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE AND DIRECTOR MADDUX, YOU'RE UP.

FOR THE AUDIT COMMITTEE WE MET ON DECEMBER 7TH AND WE REVIEWED BUDGETS, THE SUPERINTENDENTS TIME SHEET ACCOUNTS PAYABLE PAYROLL.

EVERYTHING WAS IN ORDER.

WE ALSO REVIEWED THE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS REQUIRED BY OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER.

AND THEN ONE THING THAT CAME OUT OF THAT WHEN WE WERE REVIEWING THE AP, WE LOOKED AT AN INVOICE FOR CLARK COUNTY CAB AND IT JUST BEGGED A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

AND SO I WAS HOPING MAYBE TO ASK FOR A FUTURE REPRESENTATION OR PRESENTATION FROM MAYBE OUR FCRC COMMUNITY JUST TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ALL OF THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE WITH TRANSPORTING STUDENTS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS CHARGE WAS FOR, IS FOR TRANSPORTATION, FOR STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF OUR DISTRICT THAT GO IN OUR DISTRICT.

AND SO AND THAT'S A REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE WITHIN OUR DISTRICT.

SO I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL TO BE ABLE TO MAYBE JUST LEARN MORE ABOUT THOSE PROGRAMS AND WHAT CHALLENGES THEY'RE FACING WITH OUR HOMELESS STUDENTS AND JUST TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF OF MAYBE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

THANK YOU, JACKIE.

YEAH, FIRST OF ALL, GOOD CATCH TOO ON ON THE USE OF THE CAB AND WHY WE USE IT, BECAUSE THAT'S PRIMARILY THE REASONING BEHIND IT IS TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE HOMELESS AND MAY BE MOVING BETWEEN RESIDENCES AND LOCATIONS.

SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO SET UP BUS TRANSPORTATION FOR THEM BECAUSE OF THOSE REASONS.

BUT TO YOUR POINT, I WILL CERTAINLY TALK WITH OUR DIRECTOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JILL SMITH, WHO OVERSEES THAT PORTION OF OUR PROGRAMING, AND SHE CAN WORK WITH LYDIA SANDERS, WHO DOES AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

AS YOU KNOW, I'M SURE WE CAN PROVIDE A WHOLE BUNCH MORE INFORMATION THAN JUST BESIDES THE ANSWER TO THE CAB QUESTION, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS TO HEAR THE GOOD WORK THAT IS BEING DONE AT THE FCRC AND END THE WORK SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR HOMELESS STUDENTS, WHICH WE DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER.

I MEAN, I THINK AT LAST COUNT, I WANT TO SAY WE WERE UP AROUND CLOSE TO 200 STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT WHO ARE CONSIDERED HOMELESS.

SO AND THOSE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

SO TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SPORTS AND SERVICES THEY NEED SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE ADEQUATE PROGRESS IN SCHOOL IS A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE.

AND LYDIA AND HER TEAM HAVE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

SO WE'LL SET THAT UP FOR PERHAPS.

I THINK WE HAVE A SIP MEETING IN NO IN THE 24.

MAYBE THE MAYBE THE FIRST MEETING IN FEBRUARY.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

OK, THANK YOU.

THE OTHER THING I JUST WANTED TO ADD WAS I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO MICHELLE SCOTT AND HER TEAM.

THEY GET ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND THEY'VE GOT TO PULL THOSE INVOICES AND DOCUMENTS UP ON THE FLY AND THEY JUST DO A WONDERFUL JOB.

AND SO I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THEY DO AND AND GETTING EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR US SO THAT WE CAN SHARE IT.

SO THANK YOU, MICHELLE.

OK, NEXT UP, DEBBIE, OR EXCUSE ME.

BATTLEGROUND EDUCATION FOUNDATION DIRECTOR MADDUX AGAIN FROM THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION, I JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THEY ARE DOING A FUNDRAISER FOR SELLING BLAZER TICKETS FOR A GAME FEBRUARY 12TH.

[00:30:03]

AND YOU CAN.

THEY HAVE A LINK ON THEIR FACEBOOK WEBSITE IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THAT OUT.

AND THEN THEY HAVE ALREADY BEGUN THEIR PLANNING FOR THEIR AUCTION NEXT FALL THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON A HYBRID EVENT.

SO THAT WILL BE EXCITING TO SEE WHAT HOW THEY PUT THAT TOGETHER.

SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH, SO.

NEXT UP, OUR NEWLY APPOINTED WIAA COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

ACTUALLY, TROY DID NOT SEND ME THE LATEST NOTES FROM THAT, SO I'LL GET WITH HIM ON THE TRANSITION AND AND GET THOSE NOTES FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

AND I THINK WE CAN CHECK WITH TROY, BUT THEY DIDN'T MEET QUARTERLY OR SOMETHING ABOUT LIKE THAT.

IT'S NOT LIKE ALL THE TIME.

SO OK.

LET'S SEE BEFORE WE MOVE ON, ACTUALLY, I WANT TO GO OUR COMMITTEES ARE COORDINATED BY OUR POLICY 12 40.

AND I NOTICED IN POLICY 12 40, WHICH THE LAST TIME IT WAS UPDATED WAS LIKE IN 2013 OR 14.

IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY LIST OUR COMMITTEES AND I SEE DIRECTOR ANDERSON IN THE IN THE AUDIENCE.

DO WE HAVE A PLACE WHERE OUR STANDING COMMITTEES ARE LISTED? NO, THESE WERE THESE WERE ADDED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD, OK, AS WE'VE KIND OF MOVED FORWARD.

AND AND ACTUALLY VERY RECENTLY.

I MEAN, MAYBE, MAYBE WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, FIVE TO SIX YEARS, THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING, WHAT THE HISTORY OF THAT WAS, RIGHT? SO IT'S ONLY BEEN I MEAN, I CAN REMEMBER THEM BEING ADDED WHEN I WAS THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT, OK? I THINK IT WAS ONLY IN MARK'S REIGN.

A FEW OF THEM WERE ADDED BEFORE THAT.

BUT BUT THE THE AGENDA, AS YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU NOW WAS ONLY FINALIZED A FEW YEARS AGO.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT WE'VE EVER UPDATED THE POLICY TO REFLECT THAT, NOT KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT THE BOARD LIKED THE IDEA OF FLEXIBILITY AND TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE AND AND AND MORPH AS THE NEED ARISES.

BUT TOTALLY UP TO YOU CERTAINLY CAN.

JUST BE NICE TO HAVE A RECORD.

I LIKED MR. DRAKE'S COMMENT ABOUT SYSTEMS THAT OUTLAST THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE SYSTEM.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF WE START LOSING OUR INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE LIKE MR. ANDERSON AND MR. MCCOY AND SO ON.

YOU LOOK AT THE BOARD RIGHT NOW AND THE LONGEST SERVING DIRECTOR IS JUST OVER THREE YEARS OR RIGHT AROUND THERE.

SO IT'S NICE TO HAVE THOSE THINGS WRITTEN DOWN AND THEY CAN ALWAYS BE UPDATED.

THAT ONE ON AND WORK TO REVISE POLICY 12 40 TO REFLECT OUR CURRENT PRACTICES.

AND I THINK THAT WOULD GO IN AS A PROCEDURE THEN IS THAT WHAT IT WOULD BE WOULD BE? I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH EITHER THE PROCEDURE OR THE THE POLICY.

SO WE'LL LOOK AT THAT, BUT I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHERE IT FITS.

NEXT UP IS OUR WASHINGTON STATE SCHOOL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION UPDATES, LISA IS GOING TO HELP ME OUT WITH A COUPLE OF THINGS.

ANYTHING FROM OUR.

DIRECTORS.

WELL, GOOD, THEY TOOK THE HINT AND FOUND THE TRANSITION TO GO.

I WAS GOING TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT IN BETWEEN, BUT THEY IDEAL.

I'D LIKE TO BRING UP WITH LISA'S HELP.

THIS IS OUR WAS THE WEBSITE AND I'M GOING TO DIRECTOR OVER TO WHERE IT SAYS TRAINING AND EVENTS.

AND YEAH, THAT'S SURE TO DO THAT ONE FIRST.

SO THE SLIDE THAT I SHOWED EARLIER CAME FROM A SERIES CALLED LEG REP LEARNS, AND THERE'S A CALENDAR FOR THIS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, AND SOMETIMES MORE OFTEN, PARTICULARLY DURING THE FALL.

THEY HAVE SESSIONS SPONSORED BY WSSDA.

I'VE DONE AT LEAST TWO THIS YEAR.

ONE WAS ON BOND FUNDING, BONDS AND BOND INITIATIVES.

AND WHAT THE HISTORY AND DATA IS THAT AROUND THE STATE, THERE WAS ONE FOR JUST BEFORE CONFERENCE SO THAT YOU COULD LEARN ABOUT WHAT THINGS WERE IN CONFERENCE.

THE ONE I JUST SHOWED YOU WAS ABOUT SCHOOL FINANCE, AND THOSE ARE ALL RECORDED.

SO THE THE FOREHEAD THAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN THERE IS MARISSA RATHBONE FOREHEAD, AND SHE'S USUALLY THE THE PRESENTER.

[00:35:02]

SO IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN GOING BACK AND LOOKING INTO, HEY, I WANT TO KNOW THE BASICS ABOUT SCHOOL FINANCE AND HOW MANY STUDENTS IT TAKES TO GENERATE A PRINCIPAL OR WHATEVER, THEN THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE.

AND I ENCOURAGE ALL BOARD MEMBERS, NOT JUST THE LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE, TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

AND I'LL TRY TO MAKE A POINT OF LETTING YOU KNOW IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEW OR A LIVE SESSION UP.

I SUSPECT THE NEXT ONE WILL BE ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION COMING UP.

AND THEN IF I CAN HAVE YOU GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM ON, YEAH, HOW ABOUT DO THE BOARD BOOTCAMP? PERFECT.

SO THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR DIRECTOR CHAMPINE, NEW BOARD MEMBERS, NEWLY ELECTED BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD TAKE THE OR SHOULD TAKE THE BOARD BOOTCAMP PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING THAT WAS AVAILABLE AT THE CONFERENCE, BUT IT WAS ON THAT WEDNESDAY WHEN YOU WEREN'T AVAILABLE.

SO YOU CAN DO IT ONLINE HERE, YOU CAN SIGN UP ONLINE AND I KNOW THAT DIRECTOR SNITILY DID THAT.

DID YOU DO THAT AS WELL? THE ONLINE ONE? YEAH, OK.

WHAT CAN YOU SAY? HOW MUCH TIME COMMITMENT IS IT SO TED KNOWS.

IT'S NOT LONG I FEEL LIKE IT WAS AN HOUR, MAYBE TWO MAX, BUT IT WAS.

I TOOK IT TWICE BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME IT DIDN'T TOTALLY MAKE SENSE, AND THEN AFTER A FEW MEETINGS, IT MADE A LOT MORE SENSE, SO I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND.

AND THEN JUST ABOVE THAT, THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE CALLED WSSDA ON BOARD, WHICH IS ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES ON THINGS COMING UP.

AND SOME OF THOSE THAT'S GOING TO BE WHERE WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUR FOLLOW UP TO THE STATE LAW REQUIRED EQUITY TRAINING.

SO I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT INITIATIVE 5440.

I BELIEVE IF I HAVE THE NUMBER RIGHT, SAY IT AGAIN.

5044 DIRECTS TRAINING ON THE TOPICS OF EQUITY.

THREE OF US WERE ABLE TO ATTEND THAT AT THE CONVENTION OR A CONFERENCE, BUT THEY'LL ALSO BE MAKING THAT AVAILABLE ONLINE SO THAT YOU CAN MEET THAT REQUIREMENT.

AND I BELIEVE OVER A FOUR YEAR TERM, THERE'S NINE HOURS THAT WE'RE EXPECTED TO ATTEND AND THOSE WILL ALL BE AVAILABLE EITHER AT CONFERENCE OR ONLINE, SO THAT IT'S SOMEWHAT EASY TO TO GET TO THOSE.

ONE MORE, I DON'T KNOW IF DIRECTOR CHAMPINE HAS THIS ON HIS RADAR, BUT I'LL LET YOU KNOW WITHIN 90 DAYS YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS ACT TRAINING, AND I THINK THAT'S THROUGH THE STATE OFFICE.

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THAT ONE? DOES THAT SOUND CORRECT? STATE ELECTIONS, IS NOT THROUGH WSSDA.

OK, WELL, LOOK, I KNOW WE'VE ALL AND ACTUALLY FOR THOSE OF US WHO WERE APPOINTED EVERY FOUR YEARS, WE NEED TO RENEW THAT.

SO WE HAVE TO KEEP THAT ON OUR RADAR AS WELL.

YOU, YOU REDO IT EVERY.

EVERY TERM.

THANKS FOR HANGING IN THERE.

CAN I ASK A CLARIFYING QUESTION? YES, PLEASE DO SO.

SO I'VE TAKEN THAT TRAINING.

BUT YOU SAID YOU NEED TO RENEW EVERY FOUR YEARS, SO NOW THAT I HAVE FOUR MORE YEARS IN FRONT OF ME, DO I NEED TO TAKE IT NOW OR JUST WHEN THE FOUR YEARS THE FIRST FOUR YEARS IS UP? THAT WAS A QUESTION I ASKED MYSELF TODAY THAT I COULDN'T FIND THE ANSWER TO.

SO YOU AND I BOTH HAVE THAT IN COMMON.

I THINK ROB AND I ARE UP FIRST, SO I WILL FIND THAT ANSWER FOR YOU.

AND MAYBE WE HAVE ONE.

I CAN SEE ON THEIR TRAINING SITE THERE'S AN ONLINE TRAINING AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO SIGN UP, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL.

THERE ARE FIVE LESSONS SPECIFICALLY, AND I CAN SEND THIS LINK, THAT'D BE GREAT, TO EACH OF YOU.

OK, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR OUR WASHINGTON SCHOOL DIRECTORS, THANKS FOR LETTING ME POINT THOSE OUT.

YEAH, THANKS.

WHENEVER WE BRING A NEW MEMBER ON, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE RESOURCES, EVEN IF IT TAKES A WHILE TO ABSORB THEM ALL.

NEXT UP IS OUR TOURS COMMITTEE, AND WE DID GET TWO OUT OF OUR THREE TOURS IN AND GROUP ONE WAS AT GLENWOOD, THAT WAS DIRECTOR MADDUX AND I THINK RICARDO IN CHILE,

[00:40:05]

RIGHT? OH TED.

OH OK, GREAT.

LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU ABOUT THAT TOUR.

I WAS ON I WAS UNAVAILABLE TO ATTEND THAT MEETING.

OH, SO.

SHOULD I GO.

GO AHEAD.

OK, YEAH, SO DIRECTOR MADDUX AND I WENT TO GLENWOOD PRIMARY AND MET WITH MR. LOPEZ.

AND HIS STAFF AND WE WALKED THROUGH THE SCHOOL AND HE COVERED ALL OF THE.

IS THIS NOT ON OK? SORRY ABOUT THAT.

IT DOESN'T BEND.

YEAH, SO WE WENT THROUGH AND WE DID A TOUR OF THE SCHOOL AND HE SAT US DOWN AND WE WENT THROUGH MANY OF THE STUFF HE ACTUALLY COVERED IN HIS SIP PRESENTATION.

AND I WAS HIGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THE OVERSIGHT THAT THEY HAD AND THE MECHANISMS THAT THEY PUT IN PLACE TO TRACK THE KIDS PERFORMANCE AND THE TEACHER'S PERFORMANCE AND HOW TO IDENTIFY WHEN INTERVENTION IS NEEDED I WAS QUITE IMPRESSED WITH THAT.

IN FACT, I THINK I EVEN BROUGHT IT UP AT THE CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING AS A WAY TO MAYBE INTEGRATE THAT INTO SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS.

SO AGAIN, I WAS HIGHLY IMPRESSED.

AND THEN AT THE TOUR, ACTUALLY, WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT WATERS.

THEY WERE PRESENTING THEM THE FOOD DRIVE.

IMPRESSIVE YOUNG FIFTH GRADERS HAD ASSEMBLED OVER A THOUSAND CANS IN A FOUR DAY PERIOD, JUST ROAMING THE HALLS AND BEATING THE DRUMS, GETTING THAT SO KUDOS TO THEM.

THERE WAS SOME GOOD WORK THERE.

JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE THAT THEY THEY FINISHED WITH OVER 3,000 CANS.

WE WERE THERE AND THEY WERE HOPING THEY ONLY HAD A FEW DAYS LEFT AND THEY WERE HOPING TO GET THE 1,500.

UM, I WAS I WAS ALSO REALLY IMPRESSED BY THE TOUR, GLENWOOD JUST HAS A GREAT VIBE.

IT ALWAYS HAS.

MR. LOPEZ IS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS SCHOOL AND I JUST REALLY ADMIRED THAT PASSION.

YOU COULD JUST FEEL IT.

YOU COULD SEE IT EVERYTHING.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, EVERYTHING HE SPOKE ABOUT IN HIS PRESENTATION THIS EVENING OR THIS AFTERNOON, WE GOT TO SEE FIRSTHAND FROM GOING FROM CLASSROOM TO CLASSROOM AND SEEING THE CONSISTENCY IN WHAT THEY WERE LEARNING TO SEEING ONE OF THE STUDENTS WASN'T DOING WHAT THE REST OF THE CLASS WAS DOING, AND I INQUIRED WHY, AND THEY SAID THIS IS THEIR INTERVENTION.

HE KNEW HE WAS STRUGGLING AND HE NEEDED A DIFFERENT HE NEEDED A QUIET PLACE TO BE, AND HE KNEW HE COULD GO THERE AND THAT WAS HIS SAFE PLACE.

AND SO THEM JUST WORKING WITH HIM TO HELP HIM SOLVE AND MAINTAIN ABILITY TO STAY IN SCHOOL AND NOT JUST GET SUSPENDED OR BE DISCIPLINED FOR HIS ACTIONS, BUT TO WORK WITH HIM AND SHOW HIM ALTERNATIVES.

AND IT WAS JUST IT WAS JUST SO IMPRESSIVE THE WHOLE THING.

WE GOT TO SEE THE ART CLASS AND THAT WAS AMAZING AS WELL.

IT WAS JUST IT WAS JUST A GREAT DAY.

OH, AND THERE WAS A DESSERT BOX AND THEY TOLD US RIGHT AS WE LEFT THE CLASSROOM AND WE DIDN'T GET ANY DESSERT.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT WAS FANTASTIC.

I WOULD I WOULD ECHO IT WAS A GREAT TOUR, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JUST MADE ME VERY HAPPY TO SEE.

YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORK THAT THE PLC WORK, THE PROFESSIONAL WORK THAT TEACHERS ARE DOING TOGETHER IS MAKING SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

WHAT YOU SEE NOW VERSUS A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO GOING ON IN CLASSROOMS IS THAT CONSISTENCY FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.

IT JUST FEELS SO GOOD TO SEE THAT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT FOR A STUDENT, A FOURTH GRADE STUDENT IN ONE CLASS VERSUS ANOTHER.

HOW TEACHERS ARE TEACHING, OF COURSE, IS DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S NICE TO SEE THEM TEACHING THE SAME CONTENT SO STUDENTS HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO TO THE CURRICULUM AND THE CONTENT ACROSS THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

SO THAT WAS REASSURING.

OBVIOUSLY, THE ENVIRONMENT THAT'S CREATED THERE.

AS THE DIRECTOR WHO'S UP THERE OFTEN, BUT DIDN'T GO ON THAT ONE OFFICIALLY, I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE WHO WENT ABOUT THE FACILITIES THEMSELVES.

[00:45:04]

GLENN, WHAT IS OUR OLDEST SCHOOL AND IN THE DISTRICT? THEY'VE GOT A COUPLE OF ALMOST SATELLITE CAMPUSES FOR THEIR GRADES THREE AND FOUR.

ANY COMMENTS ON THE FACILITY? YEAH, I I'D COMMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THE AGE OF THE BUILDING, I WAS ACTUALLY QUITE IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY THEY WERE MAKING USE OF IT AND UTILIZING THE SPACES THAT THEY DID HAVE.

THEY CERTAINLY ARE CHALLENGED IN THEIR STORAGE SPACE AND THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, FILE CABINETS IN THE HALLWAYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT AGAIN, THEY'RE MAKING THE BEST USE, I THINK THEY CAN OF THAT AND THE CONSTRAINTS THAT THEY HAVE.

AND CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, THE COVID SITUATION THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER FOR THEM, THEY'VE HAD TO ADJUST WITH, YOU KNOW, THERE A LOT OF THEIR ATHLETICS HAD TO SUFFER, YOU KNOW, YOUR PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES AND STUFF.

AND THEY'VE HAD TO MAKE DO BY PUTTING SOME OF THOSE CLASSES IN DIFFERENT ROOMS AND COMING UP WITH DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TO TRY TO MAINTAIN THAT, THAT CORE WORK.

SO I APPLAUD THEM FOR THEIR EFFORTS.

AND THE SOONER WE CAN GET THAT BEHIND US, THE BETTER SO THEY CAN GO BACK TO UTILIZING THE REST OF IT NORMALLY.

I KNOW THAT THE BUILDING ITSELF HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED.

I STARTED MY ADMINISTRATIVE CAREER THERE IN 2002 AND IT DOESN'T LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT.

OF COURSE, A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN WE HAD OVERCROWDING, IT LOOKED SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT.

BUT THEY'VE DONE A REALLY NICE JOB UTILIZING THE SPACE THEY HAVE, AND I STILL LOVE THE SIZE OF THE CLASSROOMS INSIDE THE BUILDING.

THEY'RE JUST AMAZING SIZED CLASSROOMS FOR OUR STUDENTS.

I WOULD JUST ADD THAT.

THERE ARE REALLY FANCY PLACES AND THERE ARE PLACES THAT ARE JUST COMFORTABLE AND GLENWOOD IS HOME, RIGHT? SO IT HAS THAT FEEL TO IT.

IT'S NOT FANCY, IT DOESN'T SPARKLE, BUT IT'S NOT IN DISARRAY.

SO IT'S JUST IT WAS A NICE RETURN AND IT LOOKS THE SAME AS IS WHEN MY YOUNGEST WENT THERE.

SO IT JUST IT'S JUST AND IT'S JUST THE SAME FEEL.

AND IT WAS.

IT WAS SO NO, I THOUGHT I THINK THEY DO WELL WITH WHAT THEY'VE WHAT, WHAT THEY'VE GOT.

OK, THANK YOU.

THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENTS ON GLENWOOD WE CAN MOVE ON TO LAURIN MIDDLE SCHOOL.

GROUP TWO, AND I WON'T TRY TO GUESS WHO MADE IT.

WELL, IT WAS MYSELF AND RICARDO AND MARY.

OK, SO SINCE MARY IS NOT HERE.

RICARDO, UM, I'D LIKE TO SAY I HAD A LOT OF FUN AT LAURIN.

THAT WAS SUCH AN AMAZING TOUR, ACTUALLY WHEN WE WERE WALKING AROUND.

WE SAW SOME STUDENTS, MR. DRAKE INTERACTED WITH ALL OF THEM, AND IT REALLY, HE LITERALLY NEVER MISSED A NAME.

AND THAT'S REALLY IMPRESSIVE COMING FROM A HUGE SCHOOL.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY LIKE WHAT JACKIE SAID.

IT FELT LIKE HOME, EVEN THOUGH I NEVER WENT THERE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I ALSO REALLY ENJOY HOW THEY HAVE LION SUPPORT, WHICH MIMICS OUR FALCON SUPPORT PRAIRIE, AND I'M GRATEFUL THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS GO INTO HIGH SCHOOL AND LIKE, HAVE A SMOOTHER TRANSITION.

AND AND I WOULD JUST ECHO RICARDO'S THOUGHTS.

I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM OVER THERE, TRAVIS AND KELSEY OUTSTANDING.

TRAVIS IS A VERY SEASONED VETERAN PRINCIPAL AND YOU CAN TELL THAT.

BUT BUT KELSEY IS IS ON HER WAY TO BECOMING REALLY, REALLY GOOD AT THIS JOB.

SO THAT'S EXCITING.

I ALSO WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO THE ENTIRE STAFF OF LAURIN.

THEY'VE DONE JUST AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

THEY'VE EMBRACED OUR INITIATIVES.

THEY FOUGHT THROUGH THE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH COVID AND REMOTE LEARNING AND HYBRID LEARNING.

AND NOW, WITH KIDS COMING BACK AND THE CHALLENGES THAT THOSE FACE AND THE RESULTS THAT WE'VE SEEN HAVE BEEN HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING, AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OF THE STAFF THERE, FROM THE CLASSIFIED STAFF TO THE CERTIFICATED STAFF TO THE SUPPORT STAFF THAT'S IN THE MAIN OFFICES.

IT JUST HAD A IT HAD A REALLY GOOD FEEL TO IT.

AND MARK, I'LL COMMENT SINCE YOU SINCE YOU KIND OF SET THE TABLE FOR THE FACILITIES OVER THERE, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THAT'S OUR NEEDIEST CAMPUS.

AND IT'S JUST A DIFFICULT CAMPUS TO TAKE CARE OF WITH THE SEPARATE BUILDINGS.

IT'S IT REALLY IS A KIND OF AN ODD CONFIGURATION.

EACH BUILDING HAS ITS OWN FORM AND FUNCTION.

[00:50:01]

IT SEEMS THAT WAY AND AND THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES WITH AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE HAVEN'T INVESTED IN IT BECAUSE OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS, WE'VE PUT IN NEW PARKING AND UPDATED THEIR PARKING SITUATION.

WE'VE DONE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PAINTING.

WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE TIDIED UP THE OUTDOOR WALKWAYS.

WE'VE GOT THE SECURITY FENCING.

IT'S A GREAT LOCATION.

IT'S CERTAINLY A BEAUTIFUL LOCATION.

BUT THE BUILDING AND THE NEEDS OF THE BUILDING ARE SIGNIFICANT.

IT HAS NOT HELD UP AS WELL AS GLENWOOD HAS, IN MY OPINION.

[INAUDIBLE] THANKS FOR THAT.

ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE TOURS? WE HAD OUR TUKES VALLEY ONE RESCHEDULED DON'T KNOW THE DATE YET, BUT HOPEFULLY LIKE THE BATTLEGROUND ONE, IT'LL IT'LL HAPPEN EVENTUALLY.

SO WE KNOW PEOPLE ARE WORKING HARD OUT THERE AND IT'S GOT TO BE RIGHT FOR BOTH SIDES, SO.

OK, NEXT UP IS OUR DIRECTOR REPORTS, WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN QUITE A FEW OF OUR ACTIVITIES AND THINGS GOING ON THAT IF THERE'S ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE'VE ALREADY REPORTED, ANY OTHER DIRECTORS WANT TO CHIME IN.

I'LL JUST ADD THAT I ATTENDED THE WINTER WONDERLAND AT LAURIN MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND IT WAS IT WAS JUST REALLY A GREAT SETUP WHAT THEY DID FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY AND.

PRINCIPAL DRAKE WAS RIGHT THERE AT THE VERY FRONT OF THE LINE GREETING EVERYBODY AND KNEW MY FAMILY BY NAME AS WELL.

SO IT WAS JUST IT WAS JUST NICE.

EVERYBODY WAS VERY FRIENDLY, WAVED, YOU KNOW, AND WE GOT THERE KIND OF AT THE END OF THEIR NIGHT.

AND SO IT WAS IT WAS JUST GOOD TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD DONE AND JUST MADE A REALLY SPECIAL EVENT FOR THOSE STUDENTS.

SO I WAS THERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, THE FIRST HOUR THAT IT WAS OPEN AND IT REMINDED ME OF THAT SCENE, THAT FAMOUS SCENE IN FIELD OF DREAMS AT THE END OF THE MOVIE, WHEN HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME AND THEY DO THAT PAN FROM UP ABOVE AND YOU JUST SEE THESE CARS COMING.

AND THAT'S WHAT IT WAS LIKE.

I MEAN, YOU COULD LITERALLY STAND IN THE IN THE ENTRYWAY, AS JACKIE POINTED, WHERE TRAVIS WAS STANDING AND YOU COULD SEE THE LIGHTS GO ALL THE WAY UP THE STREET AND THEN YOU COULD SEE THEM WRAP AROUND, PASS THE PARKING LOT OF OF GLENWOOD.

THERE WAS THAT MUCH INTEREST AND I WOULD IMAGINE JACKIE.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS CROWDED WHEN YOU GOT THERE, BUT I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IN ORDER TO GET IN, A FAMILY HAD TO WAIT AT LEAST A GOOD 30 MINUTES TO MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE LINE IN ORDER TO GET IN.

AND IT DIDN'T DISSUADE ANYBODY.

IT WAS THAT IT WAS THAT MUCH FUN AND THAT MUCH AND THAT MUCH A PART OF THEIR COMMUNITY.

SO AGAIN, KUDOS TO THEM.

YEAH, IT'S GREAT.

AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD KNOW THAT ACTUALLY, THAT'S EVERY DAY AT 2:30.

YEAH, THAT LINE, YOU'LL LEARN WHICH WAY TO TURN.

NOW YOU JUST I'M SURE I'M GOING TO GET SOME PHONE CALLS ABOUT THAT.

I'M SORRY.

I'D JUST LIKE TO MENTION THAT I HAVE GOTTEN IN CONTACT WITH LAURIN MIDDLE SCHOOLS ASB [INAUDIBLE], SO HOPEFULLY WE COULD GET THEM INTO ONE OF OUR MEETINGS NEXT MONTH.

YES, RICARDO.

AND THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT WORK.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL ADD ONE MORE, SO I HOPE SOMEDAY TO BE AS SAGE AND WISE AS OUR FORMER DIRECTOR ANDERSON AND THE AUDIENCE, BUT UNTIL THEN, I'LL ADD TO OUR COHERENCE WORK.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SUPERINTENDENT WATERS HAS HELPED US AS A BOARD DO IS RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ACTUALLY IS RESEARCH ON BEING AN EFFECTIVE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER.

WE GET HELP FROM WSSDA FROM THAT, BUT WE ALL WORK ON A BOOK STUDY CALLED THE GOVERNANCE CORPS.

AND IT TURNS OUT THERE'S A PART IN HERE DIRECTOR THAT NEW MEMBERS.

SO IT SAYS IN THE FIRST 100 DAYS, WHAT SHOULD THE NEW TRUSTEE DO? AND IT SAYS NUMBER ONE SUSPEND ALL PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS ABOUT THE DISTRICT, THE STAFF AND THE BOARD.

NO TO GET UP TO SPEED AND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.

NUMBER THREE, BE MINDFUL OF CONFIDENTIALITY, THE SPECIAL NATURE OF BEING A TRUSTEE AND THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS.

NUMBER FOUR, AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

NUMBER FIVE, ACCEPT THE REALITIES OF GOVERNANCE.

THAT'S A BIG ONE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INTERPRET THAT, BUT THAT'S AND THEN NUMBER SIX, MY FAVORITE UNDERSTAND THAT TIME IS YOUR BEST FRIEND IN LEARNING THE JOB.

SO WELCOME ABOARD DIRECTOR CHAMPINE.

THANKS.

OK, THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US ON THAT.

WE'RE UP TO SUPERINTENDENT AND STAFF UPDATES MR.

[9. Superintendent and Staff Updates]

WATERS.

I'VE GOT THREE QUICK THINGS AND THEN WE'LL I'LL PASS THE TORCH ON TO HUMAN RESOURCES.

[00:55:01]

BUT FIRST, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU THE UPDATE ON OUR COVID CASES.

SO JUST A REMINDER THAT THIS IS FOR A THREE WEEK PERIOD.

THE DATA THAT I'VE BEEN PROVIDING YOU PRIOR TO THIS HAS BEEN FOR A TWO WEEK PERIOD, BUT WE HAD OUR BYE WEEK BECAUSE NOVEMBER HAD FIVE MONDAYS IN IT.

SO THREE WEEKS FROM 11-22 TO 12-10 TOTAL CONFIRMED CASES.

NINETY THREE CONFIRMED CASES, STAFF NINE CONFIRMED CASES ON CAMPUS DURING INFECTIOUS PERIOD, SEVEN NOT ON CAMPUS DURING INFECTION PERIOD TWO.

WE HAD EIGHTY FOUR STUDENT CONFIRMED CASES SEVENTY TWO ON CAMPUS DURING THEIR INFECTIOUS PERIOD.

TWELVE NOT ON CAMPUS DURING THEIR INFECTIOUS PERIOD, TOTAL CLOSE CONTACTS IDENTIFIED THREE HUNDRED AND NINE THAT INCLUDED TEN STAFF AND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE STUDENTS.

OBVIOUSLY, SOME OF THOSE STAFF AND SOME OF THOSE STUDENTS WERE VACCINATED AND DID NOT HAVE TO BE QUARANTINE, BUT WE HAD TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT STUDENTS WHO MISSED TIME BECAUSE OF THEY WERE IDENTIFIED AS CLOSE CONTACT.

SO AGAIN, THE NUMBERS IN CLARK COUNTY HAD BEEN TRENDING DOWNWARD.

WE GOT AS LOW AS TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN PER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND CASES, BUT I JUST MET WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, CLARK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS NOW TRENDING UPWARD.

IT'S NOT MUCH HIGHER NOW, BUT THEIR 7 DAY TOTAL IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THEIR 14 DAY TOTAL.

SO THEY EXPECT IT TO CONTINUE TO TREND UPWARD WITH OBVIOUS CONCERNS OVER THE THE TRANSMISSION RATES ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW OMICRON VARIANT.

THE GOOD NEWS WITH THE OMICRON VARIANT IS IT DOES SEEM TO INDICATE THAT THE INDIVIDUALS WHO GET IT ARE IT IS LESS POTENT.

FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD.

ONE OF THE THINGS AND I APPRECIATE IT'S LIKE TED WAS READING MY MIND BECAUSE HE BROUGHT UP THREE POINTS THAT I I WANTED TO BRING UP.

ONE OF THOSE POINTS WAS WE WE CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE BECAUSE OF THE THE PHYSICAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS AT LUNCHTIME, BECAUSE STUDENTS ARE UNMASKED AT LUNCHTIME, THAT'S A SIX FOOT DISTANCE.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT SIX FOOT DISTANCE AND WANTING TO ENSURE THAT WE MEET THAT SIX FOOT DISTANCE TO ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL CLOSE CONTACTS IDENTIFIED, BUT MORE SO TO ELIMINATE THE NUMBERS OF STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE TO EXCLUDE FROM SCHOOL.

WE HAVE TAKEN OVER AND MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS, ALMOST ALL OF THEM, WE HAVE TAKEN OVER GYM SPACE AND THAT GYM SPACE MEANS THAT OUR PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS ARE MAKING HUGE SACRIFICES.

AND IT IS IMPACTING THE QUALITY OF OUR PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS ALL OVER THE DISTRICT.

IT WAS NEVER OUR THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE A YEAR LONG PROCESS FOR US, BUT IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE CHANGING ANY TIME SOON.

THE SIX FOOT DISTANCING AT LUNCH IS NOT REQUIRED.

AND THAT'S THE CAVEAT THERE, SO WE COULD AND WE ACTUALLY STARTED THE YEAR WITH THE THREE FOOT DISTANCING, HOWEVER, WE WERE IDENTIFYING SO MANY CLOSE CONTACTS.

I WAS TALKING TO LYNELL MURRAY TODAY AND JUST SHARING MY THOUGHTS ON THIS.

AND LYNELL SAID IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON IF THEY HAD A A CASE IDENTIFIED THAT AT LUNCHTIME, THEY WOULD IDENTIFY BETWEEN SEVEN TO NINE STUDENTS WHO WERE CONSIDERED CLOSE CONTACTS IF THEY DIDN'T DO THE SIX FOOT DISTANCING.

BUT THE TRADE OFF IS AGAIN, THAT IT'S IMPACTING OUR PE PROGRAMS SIGNIFICANTLY AND IMPACTING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION THAT WE'RE PROVIDING FOR OUR STUDENTS.

SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE THINKING ABOUT.

WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER ALTERNATIVES.

KEVIN AND I WENT OUT TO RIDGEFIELD, WHICH HAS WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WERE USING OUTDOOR TENTS, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO POINT OUT TO US THAT THEIR OUTDOOR TENTS WERE GREAT WHEN THE WEATHER WAS GREAT, BUT THEY'RE UNABLE TO PROVIDE HEATING IN THE OUTSIDE TENTS BECAUSE OF FIRE SAFETY CODES AND THEREFORE THE TENTS AND AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TENTS.

THEY'RE NOT BEING USED.

I MEAN, THEY PROBABLY HAD 80 SEATS THAT THEY COULD SIT STUDENTS IN THOSE TENTS.

[01:00:07]

AND WHEN WE WERE OUT THERE, WE SAW MAYBE A DOZEN STUDENTS WHO WERE WILLING TO BRAVE THE THE THE TEMPERATURES.

SO IT COMES WITH ISSUES.

WE'VE ALSO BEGUN TO EXPLORE THE IDEA OF POTENTIALLY USING TENTS FOR COVERED PLAY, AREA RESOURCE OR RECESS THAT AND THEN TRADING THE COVERED PLAY AREAS.

WE HAVE MAYBE PUTTING OUTSIDE BARRIERS ON THERE FOR LIKE AN OUTDOOR GYM FOR P.E., BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL SORTS OF SOLUTIONS.

THE ONE THAT I CONTINUE TO WORK ON IS, AS I'VE MENTIONED TO THE BOARD, THE BOARD, THE THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH RECENTLY LESSENED THE PHYSICAL REQUIREMENT, THE PHYSICAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS ON BUSSES FROM SIX FEET TO THREE FEET.

AND WE ARE DOING THE SAME TYPE OF PUSHING CAMPAIGNING THAT THEY ALSO LOWER THE DISTANCING FOR LUNCH.

BUT SO FAR, UNSUCCESSFUL.

SO I'M KEEPING THE BOARD INFORMED, BUT WE MAY WE MAY BE LOOKING AT CHANGING OUR PROCEDURES AND MESSAGING THAT ACCORDINGLY AS WE MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG MUCH LONGER WE CAN CONTINUE THIS, ESPECIALLY.

IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD TIME TO GO OUTSIDE, RIGHT? ASK OUR PE CLASSES TO HOLD CLASSES OUTSIDE.

I ALSO, AGAIN, A NOD TO DIRECTOR CHAMPINE.

CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE, I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.

WE MET WITH OUR CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE LAST WEEK, THURSDAY AND THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS FOR THE BOARD TO UNDERSTAND IS LOOKING AT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

WE PROVIDED THEM WITH COPIES OF OUR CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN, BUT ALSO COPIES OF NINE OTHER STRATEGIC PLANS FROM AMONG VARIOUS DISTRICTS IN THE STATE, INCLUDING SOME THAT WERE LOCAL CAMUS, VANCOUVER, KELSO, THOSE.

AND SO THEY GOT A GOOD CROSS-SECTION AND THEY WERE THERE COMPARING THE FOCUS AREAS OR THE GOAL AREAS AND LOOKING TO IDENTIFY POTENTIALLY OTHER TOPICS.

THE CONVERSATION WAS OUTSTANDING.

TED WAS THERE.

MARK, YOU WERE THERE.

CONVERSATION WAS AT STANDING AT ALL FOUR TABLES.

WE SPLIT THEM UP INTO FOUR GROUPS WITH THE HELP OF MIKE MASHAD AND DAVID KENNEDY, WHO ARE ALSO THERE WITH SHELLEY AND MYSELF.

AND CONVERSATIONS WERE GREAT.

IT'S WE'RE STARTING THE PROCESS.

INITIAL FEEDBACK WAS WAS POSITIVE AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO PRESS FORWARD TO PROVIDE THEIR STAKEHOLDER, THE COMMUNITY AND PARENT STAKEHOLDER VOICE IN THIS PROCESS.

WE'VE EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT IT'S NOT THE FINAL SAY WITH THE WITH THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, BUT IT'S PART OF A BIGGER PROCESS OF GETTING STAKEHOLDER VOICE.

AND THEN LASTLY, I WANTED TO GET BACK, WE DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CIRCLE AROUND, AND I'M SORRY THAT TROY IS NOT HERE BECAUSE HE BROUGHT UP THIS POINT.

BUT TROY ASKED ME TO.

AND IT WAS DURING A BOARD MEETING, SO YOU MAY REMEMBER.

BUT TROY ASKED FOR THE DISTRICT TO LOOK IN TO THE IDEA OF EXPLORING THE IDEA OF MOVING BATTLEGROUND HIGH SCHOOL FROM ITS CURRENT 4A CLASSIFICATION DOWN TO EITHER A 3A CLASSIFICATION OR, IF THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE, EXPLORING WHAT BECOMING AN INDEPENDENT WOULD DO.

OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S SOME PROS AND CONS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH.

TO TOM'S CREDIT, I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT TOM DID GO BACK AND HAVE INITIAL CONVERSATIONS.

WHAT HE FOUND WAS A LOT OF STRONG FEELINGS, A LOT OF MIXED FEELINGS AND A LOT OF NO PREFERENCE.

SO IT'S ALL OVER THE BOARD.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE UNABLE AND IN HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH DIRECTOR CHAMPINE, HE BROUGHT OUT THE FACT THAT WE BOTH BELIEVE IT'S CRITICAL THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO EXPLORE SUCH A MOVE THAT WE GET INPUT FROM OUR STUDENT ATHLETES AND THAT WE ALSO GET INPUT FROM OUR PARENTS AND COMMUNITY AGAIN.

DIRECTOR CHAMPINE, ALREADY MAKING SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS, SUGGESTED THAT WE LOOK AT PUTTING TOGETHER A A COMMITTEE WHO COULD HAVE STAKEHOLDER REPRESENTATION, AND MY HOPE WOULD BE THAT WE ALSO HAVE BOARD REPRESENTATION AND I WOULD DIRECT TOM ADAMS TO PUT TOGETHER A COMMITTEE TO DO SOME EXPLORING OF WHAT THE ISSUES ARE, WHAT THE PROS

[01:05:01]

AND CONS ARE, WHAT MIGHT BE POTENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR US TO PURSUE AND THEN MAKE A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND A TIMELINE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WE ASKED LAST YEAR IF WE COULD DROP DOWN TO 3A CLASSIFICATION AND WE WERE DENIED THAT.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS WE HAVE TO WAIT TWO TWO YEARS BEFORE WE CAN SUBMIT A REQUEST AGAIN.

BUT THAT DOESN'T PRECLUDE US FROM WORKING IN THAT DIRECTION, DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE, BECOMING MORE PREPARED.

I THINK LAST TIME IT WAS A RELATIVELY QUICK TURNAROUND FOR US.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO TO TO DO THE WORK.

AND I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND WE'RE REALLY GOING TO LOOK AT IT AND DO THE RIGHT THING, THAT PUTTING TOGETHER A COMMITTEE LIKE THIS WOULD BE IMPORTANT.

WHEN WE COME BACK FROM SPRING BREAK, I'D ASK TOM TO PUT SOME PARAMETERS ON THAT, WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND ACTUALLY TO PUT TOGETHER A TIMELINE AND WE WOULD GO FROM THERE.

SO JUST WANTED TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS AROUND THAT.

YEAH, I THINK FOR MYSELF, I THINK PUTTING TOGETHER A COMMITTEE AND REALLY TRYING TO PULL TOGETHER SOME DATA, I DON'T.

IS THERE? ANY KIND OF DATA THAT SAYS HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE TURNING OUT FOR ATHLETICS FROM YEAR TO YEAR, HOW THAT'S CHANGED OVER TIME? YEAH, I THINK I CERTAINLY THINK WE CAN GET THAT DATA.

I KNOW WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF THAT DATA WHEN WE DID THE INITIAL APPLICATION.

BUT AGAIN, WE HAD SUCH A SHORT TIMELINE TO WORK ON.

I DON'T KNOW HOW DILIGENT THEY WERE IN PUTTING THAT TOGETHER OR IN PRESENTING IT.

I WASN'T PART OF THE, YOU KNOW, THAT PROCESS AT THAT TIME.

SO BUT YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S THE KIND OF THING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I WOULD JUST BE CURIOUS HOW THE HOW.

I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S UNDEFINED, AND HE'LL WORK ON IT AFTER BREAK, AS YOU MENTIONED, BUT WOULD THERE BE REPRESENTATION FOR ALL SPORTS? BECAUSE AT THAT POINT AND PARENTS FROM ALL OF THOSE GROUPS, BECAUSE THAT AT THAT POINT, HOW BIG OF A COMMITTEE DO YOU END UP WITH? RIGHT.

AND SO IT COULD BE VERY, YEAH, GOOD, BAD OR UGLY, RIGHT? SO MAYBE DEFINING SOME OF THAT FOR BEFORE MOVING FORWARD.

AND THOSE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

THAT'S WHY WE WERE UNABLE, YOU KNOW, AS THE IDEA SOUNDS GREAT, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO TO ANSWER.

I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, JACKIE.

MY MY FEELING IS WE'D HAVE A REPRESENTATION OF THE OF THE LARGER SPORTS AND THEN A REPRESENTATION FOR SOME OF THE SMALLER SPORTS TO SEE HOW IT MIGHT FIT.

THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY THAT WE WOULDN'T DROP DOWN FOR ALL SPORTS THAT IT COULD.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF DROPPING DOWN FOR.

A FEW SPORTS, I DON'T KNOW HOW EXACTLY HOW THAT WORKS.

NO MORE THAN I DO.

WELL, YEAH, AND I THINK IT IT REALLY JUST ECHOES THE WHOLE POINT OF THE COMMITTEE TO BEGIN WITH, YOU KNOW, AS WE DISCUSSED AND I THINK THAT.

PUTTING THAT DOWN AS THE GOALS, WHAT'S THE STRATEGIC INTENT AND GOALS OF THIS COMMITTEE, AND I THINK IDENTIFYING THOSE NEEDS AND WANTS IS A BIG PART OF IT, AND I AGREE WITH DIRECTOR MADDUX THAT WE DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS COMMITTEE SO LARGE THAT IF YOU BECOME SO LARGE, YOU CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE, BUT CERTAINLY WANT TO HAVE INVESTED STAKEHOLDERS FROM SOME OF THE LARGER SPORTS AND A GROUPING OF THE SMALLER SPORTS AND DIFFERENT LEVELS OF STAKEHOLDERS, IF YOU WILL.

AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE ASSEMBLE THAT CLEARLY IDENTIFYING WHAT THAT BODY IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND GETTING AN AGREEANCE ON THAT IS THE FIRST STEP.

AND THEN WE CAN, YOU KNOW, POPULATE THAT COMMITTEE AND START SETTING THOSE STRATEGIC GOALS.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT MIGHT BE IMPACTED BY THIS ARE STILL AWARE OF THIS OR WOULD THIS BE NEWS TO THEM? NO, I THINK THAT THEY RECOGNIZE WHAT OUR CONCERNS ARE AND THAT THOSE CONCERNS HAVEN'T GONE AWAY SINCE THE PREVIOUS ASK.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE ALONE IN THIS SITUATION.

I THINK THERE ARE OTHER DISTRICTS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY HERE IN SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON, BUT IT IS AN ESTABLISHED PROCESS ALL ACROSS THE STATE.

WOULD IT BE WORTH REACHING OUT TO SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS WHO HAVE DROPPED DOWN TO SEE HOW THEIR PROCESS WENT? EXACTLY, YEAH.

BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S BEEN THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECENT ONES IN CLARK COUNTY THAT MIGHT HAVE GOOD INSIGHT, AT LEAST WHAT MAYBE NOT TO DO.

RIGHT, SO.

[01:10:01]

CAN I GO BACK TO A QUESTION ABOUT THE TENTS? SURE.

SO WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE TENTS A LONG TIME AGO, IT SEEMS THEY WERE.

EVEN IF THEY WERE AN OPTION, THEY WERE UNAVAILABLE, RIGHT, IS THE POTENTIAL TO GET TENTS EVEN AN OPTION NOW? AND IF SO, WHILE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEM RIGHT NOW, DO DO THE WEATHER, IS IT GOOD, PROACTIVE MEASURE TO HAVE THEM FOR THE SPRING? YEAH, WE WE WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT RENTING THE TENTS RATHER THAN PURCHASING THE TENTS.

AND THEY ARE AVAILABLE.

WE COULD GET THEM.

SO WE HAVE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE.

I ACTUALLY THINK THAT COVID HAS BEEN GOOD BUSINESS FOR OUR TENT PEOPLE, AND SO WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE SHORTAGE OF TENTS IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE.

AS BIG AS WE WANTED THEM AND WE WERE LOOKING AT TENTS THAT WERE 50 BY 70 AND THEY WERE AVAILABLE.

WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO MICHELLE REINHARDT FOR THE HUMAN RESOURCES REPORT.

WE HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY IN HUMAN RESOURCES, HAVE GOT SEVERAL THINGS TO TO SHARE WITH YOU.

GOOD EVENING, BOARD.

WE HAVE REACHED A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH OUR EXTRACURRICULAR CONTRACT.

SO MANY OF YOU KNEW THAT WE WERE IN CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS WITH OUR EXTRACURRICULAR CONTRACT, WHICH FALLS UNDER BGEA.

AND SO WE HAVE REACHED A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT AND WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO BRING THAT TO YOUR FOR YOUR APPROVAL AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

A COUPLE OTHER ITEMS THAT I WANT TO TOUCH BASE WITH YOU ON REALLY ARE REFLECTED MORE IN THE CONSENT AGENDA G H AND I SPECIFICALLY, IF WE CAN START WITH JUST THE REVISION TO THE PAC SCHEDULE A.

SO PACS CONTRACT WAS UP AT THE END OF AUGUST.

THEY DID PUT AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE TO EXTEND IT FOR A YEAR IN TERMS OF NEGOTIATING THE CONTRACT LANGUAGE.

HOWEVER, IT REQUESTED THAT WE REVISIT THE SCHEDULE A THIS YEAR.

AND SO WHAT WHAT YOU WILL SEE IN THAT CONSENT AGENDA IS OUR PROPOSAL REFLECTING A TWO PERCENT INCREASE FOR A PAC STAFF AND THAT WOULD BE RETROACTIVE TO SEPTEMBER.

IN ADDITION, IF I COULD ALSO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THE ADDRESSING THE UPDATED SUB RATE SCHEDULE FOR OUR OUR STAFF, AS YOU ALL KNOW, IT HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE TO FILL MANY OF OUR SUBSTITUTE POSITIONS CLASSIFIED POSITIONS, CERTIFICATED EVEN ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS.

COVID HAS BEEN HAS MADE IT CHALLENGING AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD.

STEPHANIE HAS BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS, BUT COMPARING OUR SUB RATES WITH OTHER LOCAL DISH, OTHER LOCAL DISTRICTS, SO EVERGREEN VANCOUVER CAMPUS AND REALLY HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF WORK AND WE HAVE WE ARE REQUESTING AN INCREASE IN OUR IN OUR SUB RATES SO THAT WE ARE MORE, MORE COMPETITIVE IF WE CONTINUE WITH KEEPING THEM AT THE CURRENT RATE WITH CLASSIFIED AND CERT.

WE ARE AT THE LOWEST ONE OF THE LOWEST DISTRICTS IN TERMS OF OFFERING A SUB RATE.

AND SO WE REALLY FEEL THAT THE THE RATES THAT WE THAT WE HAVE PUT FORTH REALLY, TRULY MAKE US RIGHT THEIR AVERAGE SLIGHTLY ABOVE, BUT OUR RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT THE OTHER DISTRICTS ARE OFFERING.

IN ADDITION, JANUARY ONE, WE ARE GOING TO SEE AN INCREASE IN MINIMUM WAGE.

AND SO THAT IS ALSO ON THE ON THAT DOCUMENT.

AND WE HAVE JUST OVERALL INCREASED OUR SUB RATES FOR ADMINISTRATION AND CLASSIFIED STAFF AS WELL.

SO AND THEN LASTLY, THERE IS A DOCUMENT THERE ON A SPECIAL MOU THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE REGARDING OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION ASSISTANT POSITIONS.

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, WE HAVE OUR WE HAVE ABOUT 15 TO 16 SEA POSITIONS AND THOSE ARE A SPECIAL EDUCATION ASSISTANT POSITIONS.

THESE ARE POSITIONS THAT ARE GREATLY NEEDED IN OUR IN OUR SCHOOLS.

WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MANY OF THEM OR WE HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GO INTO THESE

[01:15:03]

POSITIONS AND VACATE THEM FAIRLY QUICKLY FOR OTHER POSITIONS.

AND SO ONE OF THE ONE OF THE EFFORTS THAT WE ARE HOPING TO RESOLVE HERE IS TO PROVIDE A STIPEND FOR PEOPLE WHO TAKE AN SEA POSITION AND STAY IN THAT POSITION THROUGH THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND THAT WOULD TAKE THEY WOULD RECEIVE THAT STIPEND AT THE END OF END OF JUNE.

SO AND THAT IS REALLY OUR HOPE IS TO PROVIDE THAT INCENTIVE FOR FOR OUR STAFF.

WE KNOW HOW HARD THEY WORK IN THOSE POSITIONS AND THAT REALLY IS TO ADDRESS THAT REVOLVING DOOR THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING IN OUR SCHOOLS AND PROVIDE THAT CONSISTENCY FOR SOME OF OUR NEEDIEST STUDENTS SO.

AND THEN, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S.

THAT'S ABOUT IT, SO ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE SEA RETENTION OR THE STIPEND IS THAT FOR ONLY NEW HIRES OR IS THAT FOR EXISTING AS WELL? I BELIEVE THAT'S FOR ALL STAFF WHO ARE IN THOSE POSITIONS, IT'S FOR BOTH.

YES.

ANYONE WHO CONTINUES IN THE POSITION THROUGH THE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR.

AND WE'RE ALLOWING THEM TO TRANSFER WITHIN THAT CATEGORY SO THEY CAN STILL THEY CAN GO THERE AN SEA AT PLEASANT VALLEY, FOR INSTANCE, THEY COULD MOVE TO TUKES VALLEY AND DO THAT.

NEVER MIND, WE DIDN'T DO THAT.

I THOUGHT WE DID.

WE WERE GOING TO.

BUT WE WERE AFRAID IT WOULD CONFUSE EVERYBODY.

AND IT DID.

IT OBVIOUSLY CONFUSED ME.

WELL, THANKS.

THANKS, MICHELLE.

ACTUALLY, IT GIVES ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY LATER, I'M GOING TO REFERENCE THE POLICY ABOUT OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

SO FOR DIRECTORS AND AGAIN, THIS IS FOR DIRECTOR CHAMPINE.

THE CONSENT AGENDA NORMALLY COMES WITH NOT MUCH EXPLANATION, AS DIRECTORS WERE EXPECTED TO GO IN AND READ THOSE.

AND YOU COULD CERTAINLY ASK A QUESTION DURING BOARD MEETINGS AND EVEN PULL AN ITEM OFF IF YOU WANT FURTHER EXPLANATION.

BUT IT'S ALWAYS HARD TO DO THAT ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT.

SO WE REALLY ENCOURAGE DIRECTORS THAT IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, THE BEST THING TO DO IS GET HOLD OF THOSE PEOPLE RIGHT THERE IN ADVANCE AND SAY, CAN YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION FOR ME SO THAT WE'VE GOT THAT ALL TAKEN CARE OF IN ADVANCE? AND YOU CAN ALWAYS REFER THAT QUESTION TO MYSELF AND I CAN PASS IT ON, BUT OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM IS GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT ANSWERS IT, SO THAT HELPS OUT.

AND YOU'LL NOTICE THE PERSONNEL REPORTS IS ALWAYS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AS WELL.

AND THAT JUST REFLECTS ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE BOARD, CHANGES FOR CLASSIFIED STAFF IN CERTIFICATED STAFF.

WE HAVE NO TEACHING AND LEARNING UPDATE.

THAT WAS KIND OF SIP PLANS TODAY TOOK CARE OF THAT.

AND SO NOW WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE FINANCE REPORT WITH OUR CFO, MICHELLE SCOTT.

AND THANKS TO THE CITIZENS COMMENTS PEOPLE WERE GETTING, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE TOO MUCH LONGER.

I FIND THAT I PROJECT BETTER WHEN I HAVE THE [INAUDIBLE].

GOOD EVENING, BOARD.

JUST A COUPLE UPDATES, I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT BUDGET STATUS REPORTS FOR 21-22 WILL BE ON THE NEXT CONSENT AGENDA FOR YOU.

THEY HAVEN'T BEEN PROVIDED YET.

WE WRAPPED UP THE END OF THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR AND SO NOW WE'RE JUST GETTING THOSE READY AND PREPARED FOR YOU TO FOR YOUR APPROVAL OF THOSE AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

WE'LL ALSO JUST A REMINDER, HAVE A BUDGET EXTENSION AND FOR THE LEVY PASSAGE, AND THAT WILL BE INCLUDING A PUBLIC BUDGET HEARING AS WELL AS THE APPROVAL OF THAT RESOLUTION AT OUR NEXT MEETING.

AND THEN FOR TONIGHT, I'VE JUST PREPARED A SHORT ENROLLMENT UPDATE ENROLLMENT SO IMPORTANT TO OUR FUNDING AS A AS A DISTRICT.

AND SO IT'S IT'S IMPORTANT THAT I UPDATE YOU.

THIS IS OUR SECOND UPDATE FOR THE YEAR.

SO SOME OF THIS INFORMATION IS KIND OF NOT SO NEW, BUT IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO JUST TAKE A REVIEW OF IT.

AND SO THE FIRST THING THIS IS A VERY THE MOST IMPORTANT SLIDE IS FTE, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE'RE TRULY IS BASED.

OUR BASIC ED FUNDING IS BASED ON THE ANNUAL AVERAGE FULL TIME AND EQUIVALENT OF A STUDENT.

[01:20:01]

AND SO RIGHT NOW WE ARE OUR ACTUAL AVERAGE.

ANNUAL AVERAGE OF FTE IS ELEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE.

WE BUDGETED AT ELEVEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE, SO WE'RE JUST A LITTLE TOUCH UNDER BUDGET.

WHAT I WANT TO POINT OUT TO YOU ON THIS SLIDE HERE ALSO IS THAT YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE STARTED OUT AT ELEVEN THOUSAND FOUR SEVENTY TWO AND WE'VE KIND OF HAD A FEW LITTLE BIT OF A DROP DOWN.

IT'S JUST KIND OF SLIGHTLY.

SO HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, IT WON'T CONTINUE THAT WAY.

HOPEFULLY, WE'LL JUST CONTINUE LIKE ON A SMOOTH PATH, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE IN THE PAST, BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE'RE STILL QUITE A BIT DOWN, OF COURSE, FROM THE PANDEMIC LEVELS WHERE WE BUDGETED, YOU KNOW, FOR PRE-PANDEMIC.

AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THIS IS HOW IT WENT LAST YEAR.

SO BECAUSE OF THE HYBRID REMOTE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT WAS HAPPENING.

SO THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT SLIDE.

I JUST WANTED TO SPEND SOME TIME ON THAT ONE.

SO THESE TWO SLIDES HERE ARE JUST OUR NOVEMBER COUNTS OF OUR FTE.

SO WE WERE DOWN EIGHTEEN POINT THREE UNDER BUDGET.

AS WELL AS THEN OUR DECEMBER COUNT, SO THEY HAVE THE DECEMBER INFORMATION'S THERE, AND SO LIKE IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, FOR THEIR PARTICULAR SCHOOL OR GRADE, THEY COULD LOOK AT THAT INFORMATION.

I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT OUR ALES.

HOLD ON ON THIS SLIDE TO THIS DECEMBER SLIDE, JUST TO SHOW THAT OUR COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS ARE UP.

WE BUDGETED AND THE ALES ARE DOWN AND ON THE NEXT SLIDE, I'LL SHOW YOU FOR THE ALES WHAT THE THOUGHT WAS THERE DURING BUDGETING.

THIS WAS OUR 2021 SCHOOL YEAR, AND SO WE WERE UP QUITE A BIT IN OUR ALE PROGRAMS, BUT WE STARTED OFF DOWN HERE, SO WHEN WE WERE BUDGETING, WE WERE THINKING THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE AROUND UP IN HERE.

SO IT JUST MEANS THAT THEY SHIFTED FROM ALE TO COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS.

AND THIS IS JUST A HEAD COUNT SLIDE, IT'S JUST IT KIND OF TRENDS LIKE THE FTE AND WE ALWAYS INCLUDE THOSE.

ANYBODY WANTS TO LOOK AT THE HEAD COUNT.

THEY'RE NOT.

IT'S NOT FOR FUNDING.

IT'S JUST INFORMATION AS FAR AS THE HEAD COUNT GOES.

AND THEN FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL CTE, YOU CAN SEE WE'RE DOING WONDERFUL HERE WITH OUR FTE.

IT HAS GONE DOWN SLIGHTLY.

OOPS, DID I TOUCH IT, I THINK IT DID.

HOW DID I I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT CHANGED.

SO SORRY ABOUT THAT.

[INAUDIBLE] SORRY ABOUT THAT.

SO HERE'S THE HIGH SCHOOL CTE, SO WE'RE RUNNING IN FTE NINE FORTY TWO SEVENTY.

AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT COMPARES TO THE OTHER YEARS.

AND THEN OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL FTE IS ALSO THEY ADDED SOME PROGRAMS THIS YEAR, SO THEY'RE UP.

AND THEN OUR SPECIAL ED ENROLLMENT RIGHT NOW IS UNDER PROJECTION, WHICH IS CAUSING A LITTLE BIT OF A REVENUE DIFFERENCE THAT WILL HAVE TO ADJUST.

BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PROGRAM AND HOW WE CAN DO ANYTHING THAT WE CAN TO KIND OF MITIGATE SOME OF THAT LOSS FROM THAT ENROLLMENT FOR SPED.

AND OUR TRENDS ARE TRANSITIONAL BILINGUAL PROGRAM IS ON TARGET.

AND THEN OUR RUNNING START IS A PASS THROUGH.

SO EVEN IF WE BUDGETED FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOR THAT, IT'S THE MONEY'S COMING IN AND IT'S GOING DIRECTLY OUT TO CLARK COLLEGE.

SO THERE'S REALLY NOT ANY EFFECT ON THE DISTRICT IF THAT COMES IN UNDER BUDGET.

AND THAT WAS ALL I HAD.

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER? NO, ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MICHELLE.

NO, NO OPERATIONS REPORT TODAY AND FOR COMMUNICATIONS RITA SANDERS.

THANK YOU, MICHELLE.

[01:25:01]

GOOD EVENING, BOARD.

GOOD EVENING.

I JUST HAVE A IS THIS ON, I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF LIKE NORMAL.

I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO SHARE TONIGHT.

SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT ALL THE GOOD WORK THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE DOING FOR THEIR HOLIDAY HOLIDAY, GIVING TREES AND FOOD DRIVES.

YOU HEARD ABOUT LAURIN AND PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL AND GLENWOOD.

WE ALSO HAD DRIVES AT DAYBREAK AND TUKES VALLEY AND CAPTAIN STRONG AND SEVERAL OF OUR SCHOOLS, SO THEY'RE ALL DOING A LOT OF GOOD WORK FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO SHARE IS THE IQ CREDIT UNION GAVE A $1,000 GIFT TO OUR FAMILY COMMUNITY RESEARCH CENTER LAST WEEK, AND THEY TURNED IT INTO A FUN SHOPPING SPREE EVENT AND THEY WERE ABLE TO RUN AROUND THE STORE AND GET HIGH DEMAND ITEMS THAT THEY NEED THAT OUR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES NEED, SUCH AS TOILETRIES THAT THEY DON'T USUALLY GET DONATED.

SO THAT WAS REALLY AWESOME, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THEN ALSO IN THE NEWS, CASEY OUR CASEY PROGRAM WAS RECOGNIZED BY CLARK COUNTY GREEN SCHOOLS FOR ITS NO WASTE NOVEMBER EVENT, WHERE THEY STUDY THE PRINCIPLES OF WASTE REDUCTION AND THEY DEMONSTRATE THE IMPACTS THAT OUR ACTIONS HAVE ON THE ENVIRONMENT.

AND SO THAT'S A REALLY COOL PROGRAM.

AND ANOTHER THING I WANT TO SHARE IS THAT BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL OR TWO BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL ROTC CADETS WERE SELECTED TO ATTEND A PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE TRAINING PROGRAM.

IT'S A SCHOLARSHIP THAT'S WORTH A LITTLE MORE THAN TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND SOPHOMORE [INAUDIBLE] HARP WAS ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS THAT WAS SELECTED.

AND IT'S REALLY A COOL PROGRAM, AND IT'S IMPRESSIVE THAT SINCE 2018, 10 OF OUR VETERAN OR 10 OF OUR ROTC STUDENTS HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THAT PROGRAM.

AND IN THE LAST THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE WEATHER IS GETTING A LITTLE CHILLIER THIS WEEK.

SO I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL WATCHING SPEAKERS].

JUST BE AWARE THAT WE HAVE PROCEDURES IN PLACE SHOULD WE NEED THEM.

ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE MADE A LOT OF TOUGH DECISIONS IN MY SIX MONTHS OF BEING SUPERINTENDENT.

THAT IS THE ONE DECISION.

I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE A SNOW DAY.

BUT WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER, THAT'S RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, RITA.

AND THAT'S IT FOR SUPERINTENDENCE UPDATES.

GREAT, THANK YOU.

SO NEXT UP IS OUR CITIZENS COMMENTS.

[10. Citizens' Comments]

WE HAVE TWO CITIZENS SIGNED UP TONIGHT.

FIRST ON OUR LIST IS JESSICA COLE, AND SHE'S ON HER WAY UP ALREADY, IT LOOKS LIKE.

AND THEN JACKIE PERVIS WITH JUST TWO PRESENTERS, I WON'T DO THE WHOLE SPIEL, BUT IF YOU'LL RESTATE YOUR NAME AND ASSOCIATION WITH THE SCHOOL AND THEN WE'VE GOT THREE MINUTES AND OUR STUDENT DIRECTOR SYDNEY CORDON WILL PUT THE TIMER ON AND HOLD UP A 30 SECOND SIGN.

BOARD, THIS DOESN'T SOUND ON MY NAME'S JESSICA.

HELLO.

MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE HER AND MY KIDS I HAD A COUPLE OF KIDS THAT ATTENDED THE SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT AND ONE GRADUATED THIS LAST YEAR.

AND I FIRST WANT TO SAY TO YOU, TED, CONGRATULATIONS, WELCOME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SERVING AND CONGRATULATIONS TO JACKIE AND MARY OR WELCOME BACK.

HELLO, STILL.

AND I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD SUCH A GOOD REPUTATION ABOUT OUR BOARD OVER THE YEARS.

I STARTED COMING TO THE MEETINGS ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, AND SO I'VE BEEN AROUND IN BOARD MEETINGS LONGER THAN ALL OF YOU.

BUT I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN TEACHING HERE LONGER THAN I'VE BEEN IN BOARD MEETINGS, SO I JUST HOPE THAT, WELL, I KNOW YOU GOT THE WSSDA RECOGNITION AND THAT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME.

AND CONGRATULATIONS, AND I JUST HOPE YOU ALL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

AND LET'S SEE, I AM PART OF THE PREVENT TOGETHER COALITION, AND THEY PREVENT SUBSTANCE USE IN YOUTH, AND THEY WORK WITH THE DREAM TEAM AT CHIEF UMTUCH AND THEY DO LIKE THE DREAM TEAM DOES AMAZING WORK AND THERE'S A SURVEY ON THE BATTLE OR SORRY PREVENT TOGETHER BG .

ORG WEBSITE AND IT NEEDS FILLED OUT BY THE 16TH.

AND THAT HELPS DIRECT LIKE WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT THESE KIDS NEED TO DO OR WHAT THE ADULTS NEED TO DO TO HELP THE KID.

I DO NOT HAVE THIS WRITTEN DOWN, SO SORRY ABOUT THE SPORADICNESS.

AND THEN THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY IS ESPECIALLY TO SYDNEY AND RICARDO.

I TALKED TO YOU BOTH AT THE END OF THE LAST BOARD MEETING AND YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE WSSDA CONFERENCE YOU WENT TO AND ABOUT THE KINDNESS STUFF.

[01:30:05]

AND LO AND BEHOLD, LONG STORY SHORT, I MET THE PERSON THAT DID THAT PRESENTATION, AND SHE SPOKE VERY HIGHLY OF BOTH OF YOU.

AND I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT AND LET YOUR COLLEAGUES KNOW THAT.

AND I'M SUPER, SUPER EXCITED TO HEAR WHAT ALL COMES OUT OF THAT CONFERENCE AND AND THE PLANS THAT YOU ALL HAD.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING ON OUR BOARD SO, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

THANK YOU, JESSICA.

JACKIE.

HI, THANK YOU FOR OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU ALL TONIGHT, AND I WANTED TO WELCOME YOU NEW DIRECTOR.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

SORRY.

OK, IS THAT BETTER? YEP.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO YOU TONIGHT, AND I WANTED TO WELCOME OUR NEWEST MEMBER AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR FRESH IDEAS FOR THE BOARD IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND I'D LIKE TO COMMENT TONIGHT ON THE CSE CURRICULUM.

I APPRECIATE THE DISTRICT AND THE COMMITTEE NOT RUSHING INTO A NEW CURRICULUM AND TAKING THE TIME TO GET IT RIGHT OR AS RIGHT AS WE CAN FOR OUR STUDENTS.

I RECOGNIZE THE DIFFICULTY OF THE DECISION DUE TO STATE LAWS AND VERY DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS ON IT FROM OUR PARENTS AND OUR COMMUNITY.

AND I JUST I THINK WHEN I WAS A NEW PARENT, SOMEONE GAVE ME SOME WISE PARENTING ADVICE.

THEY SAID, ANSWER YOUR KIDS QUESTIONS WITH THE SIMPLEST ANSWER YOU CAN.

LET THEM ASK MORE IF THAT DOESN'T SATISFY THEM.

I THINK WE, AS PARENTS AND ADULTS, OFTEN OVER ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS AND CAN GIVE THEM MORE INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE READY FOR.

OR FRANKLY, SOMETIMES THEY JUST DON'T CARE TO HEAR ALL THE INFORMATION WE THINK WE NEED TO TELL THEM AT THE TIME.

I GET THAT FROM MY KIDS ALL THE TIME.

I FOUND THIS ADVICE SO HELPFUL WHEN MY KIDS HAD BIG QUESTIONS ON SUBJECTS THAT I WASN'T SURE THEY WERE FULLY READY TO DELVE INTO AND UNDERSTAND AND GET ALL THE INFORMATION.

ONE EXAMPLE I COULD THINK OF THAT COMES TO MY MIND WAS WHEN MY ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS WAS VERY YOUNG AND SHE ASKED, WHY DO BOYS STAND UP TO PEE? AND I THOUGHT, OH GREAT, THIS IS AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

SO I THOUGHT, I'M GOING TO ANSWER THIS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE.

AND I JUST SAID, BOYS HAVE DIFFERENT BODY PARTS THAN GIRLS FOR GOING TO THE BATHROOM, AND THAT'S WHY THEY STAND UP TO PEE.

THEY HAVE PARTS THAT ARE EASIER FOR THEM TO STAND WHILE GIRLS HAVE PARTS THAT ARE EASIER TO SIT.

AND AT THE TIME, I FULLY EXPECTED HER NEXT QUESTION TO BE SOMETHING LIKE, WELL, WHAT ARE BOYS PARTS LIKE? BUT TO MY SURPRISE, MY ORIGINAL ANSWER TOTALLY SATISFIED HER CURIOSITY AT THAT TIME, AND WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE MORE IN-DEPTH CONVERSATION AT A LATER DATE AS THINGS CAME UP AND HER COMFORT LEVEL.

I THINK THE SAME ADVICE COULD BE CONSIDERED WITH OUR CSE CURRICULUM CHOICE .

NO SIDE OF THE DEBATE WILL BE COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH ANY CHOICE, SO WE MUST FIND A WAY TO MEET IN THE MIDDLE.

I BELIEVE WE CAN FIND A CURRICULUM THAT SATISFIES THE STATE RULES, BUT DOESN'T HAVE TO GO BEYOND THAT OR INTO UNNECESSARILY DEPTH OF DETAILS THAT MAY BE NOT THE BEST FOR ALL STUDENTS TO KNOW.

MAYBE WE CAN FIND SOMETHING THAT WILL SIMPLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS OR STANDARDS BY THE STATE AND LET THE DEEPER, MORE DETAILED DISCUSSIONS HAPPEN AT HOME BY PARENTS OR WHEN STUDENTS ASK, 30 SECONDS, QUESTIONS.

AS MUCH AS SOME PEOPLE FEEL STUDENTS ARE HARMED IF THEY DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.

I ALSO KNOW THAT SOME KIDS ARE HARMED WITH TOO MUCH INFORMATION THEY ARE NOT READY FOR.

I DON'T THINK FORCING ALL THE INFORMATION BEYOND THE STATE STANDARD IS HEALTHY FOR ALL KIDS.

SO LET'S START WITH THE BASICS, AND LET'S LET STUDENTS ASK MORE AS THEY'RE NEEDED.

WITH ONLY TWO CITIZENS COMMENTS, APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN.

GREAT, TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THE BOARD DOESN'T NORMALLY COMMENT BACK ON CITIZENS COMMENTS.

WE TAKE THAT INFORMATION IN AND INCLUDE IT WITH ALL THE OTHER INFORMATION AND ANY DECISIONS THAT WE MAY MAKE.

AND I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT IT'S THE PRESIDENT'S JOB TO ANSWER CORRESPONDENCE THAT MAY COME SO REMINDER FOR OUR NEW BOARD MEMBER AND THEN FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS.

IF YOU GET EMAILS THAT ARE ADDRESSED TO ALL OF US, THEN I WILL MAKE SURE AND RESPOND.

YOU CAN ALWAYS RESPOND AS AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO.

DOESN'T MEAN THE PRESIDENT HAS TO DO ALL OF THEM.

IT IS NICE TO MAYBE BE CCED ON THOSE EITHER MYSELF OR DIRECTOR WATERS, SO THAT WE

[01:35:01]

KNOW THAT COMMUNICATIONS GOING OUT TO THE TO THE COMMUNITY.

[11. Consent Agenda]

OK, WE'RE UP TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA.

OUR CONSENT AGENDA HAS ITEM A APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ITEM B BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

ITEM C CONTRACTS RATIFICATION.

ITEM D PERSONNEL REPORTS.

ITEM E STUDENT TRAVEL.

ITEM F DONATION APPROVAL OF THE KAWAI PIANO.

HOPEFULLY, I PRONOUNCED THAT RIGHT.

ITEM G APPROVAL OF THE REVISED PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES SALARY SCHEDULE.

ITEM H APPROVAL OF THE UPDATED SUB RATE SCHEDULE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE, CERTIFICATED AND CLASSIFIED SUBSTITUTES.

AND ITEM I APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION ASSISTANT POSITIONS.

WE WERE LUCKILY ENOUGH TONIGHT TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT OF A PRESENTATION ON AT LEAST THREE OF THOSE ITEMS. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OTHERS AND FIGURE THAT IT NEEDS ITS OWN SPOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, THIS WOULD BE THE TIME TO ASK TO HAVE THAT MOVED.

IF NOT, THEN I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS IT'S PRESENTED.

I'D MOVE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE DON'T I'M SORRY.

OOPS.

BACK UP.

I WOULD APPROVE, I WOULD MOVE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

OK IT'S BEEN MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIES THREE TO ZERO.

APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

I WAS READY TO SAY IT WAS VERY NICE THAT WE GOT A DONATION OF A PIANO.

AND SO I STARTED TO APPROVE THAT.

SO YEAH, YOU CAN DO THAT ANYWAY.

YEAH, YEAH, IT IS ALWAYS NICE WHEN WE GET DONATIONS LIKE THAT.

AND BOY, FROM THE 3,000 CANS OF FOOD TO, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE A PIANO OUR COMMUNITY OFTEN STEPS UP.

THE PIANO IS FROM A STAFF MEMBER SO THE FACT THAT THEY GET TO NOW USE IT IN THEIR MUSIC PROGRAM AND BAND PROGRAM IS TRULY, YOU KNOW, A VERY HEARTFELT GIFT.

WE'RE MUCH APPRECIATED.

RICARDO.

TO TALK ABOUT THAT FOR TWO SECONDS.

YEAH, A LOT OF THE KIDS SAW THAT PIANO AND THEY WERE LIKE, WHOA, CAN I PLAY ON THE PIANO? AND THE TEACHER WAS LIKE, OK, WE NEED TO SLOW DOWN.

OH, MAYBE THEY'LL PUT SOME KIND OF A MARKER ON WHO WHO DONATED IT SO IT CAN BE RECOGNIZED.

THAT'D BE GREAT.

OK, THANK YOU FOR THAT OLD BUSINESS AS USUAL.

NONE.

NO LEFTOVER OLD BUSINESS AT THE MOMENT.

SO WE ARE ON TO OUR TWO ITEMS OF NEW BUSINESS.

[13. New Business]

THE FIRST ONE ITEM A PURCHASE OF ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED CHROMEBOOKS, MR. MCDANIEL, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AGENDA ITEM.

I CAN IMAGINE I'VE BEEN WAITING QUITE SOME TIME FOR IT.

THE AGENDA IN FRONT OF YOU IS RECOMMENDING A PURCHASE OF NINETEEN HUNDRED HP CHROMEBOOKS.

THE TOTAL COST OF THIS PURCHASE IS EIGHT HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN DOLLARS AND ZERO TWO CENTS.

OUR PURCHASE PRICE WILL BE ZERO DOLLARS.

EVERYTHING INDEED IS COVERED.

THIS IS PART OF THE EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY FUND, THE ECF, WHICH IS RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC AND IS FACILITATED THROUGH THE E-RATE PROGRAM.

WE APPLIED FOR AND WERE AWARDED ONE POINT THIRTY SEVEN MILLION IN FUNDS.

I CAN'T SAY THAT WITHOUT BEING A LITTLE BIT GIDDY.

YEAH, REALLY.

PART OF THAT IS THESE CHROMEBOOKS, AND THE OTHER PART PAYS THE MONTHLY SERVICE FEES FOR THE HOT SPOTS THAT WE HAVE.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT DOLLAR FIGURE IS FAIRLY HIGH.

THE ESTIMATES THAT WE APPLIED FOR WERE AT THE RATE WE WERE PAYING LAST YEAR, AS OPPOSED TO THE RATE THAT WE JUST PRESENTED TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AT THE LAST SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.

IN THE AGENDA I ALSO NOTED THAT THE PURCHASE OF OR PAYMENT FOR HOTSPOT SERVICE FEES THAT WE JUST HAD APPROVED AT THE LAST MEETING WILL NO LONGER BE NEEDED BECAUSE WE'LL SUBMIT ALL OF OUR BILLS FOR ECF REIMBURSEMENT.

ANY QUESTIONS? SCOTT, HOW MANY CHROMEBOOKS WOULD WE NORMALLY TRY TO REFRESH EACH YEAR JUST TO KEEP OUR STOCK UP TO WORKING ORDER? ANNUALLY WE REPLACE ABOUT TWENTY TWO HUNDRED, TWENTY TWO HUNDRED OKAY SO ACTUALLY THIS IS JUST A PORTION OF THAT.

EACH CHROMEBOOK IS HAS AN EIGHT YEAR LIFESPAN.

AND AT WHICH POINT IT STOPS RECEIVING UPDATES.

IT'S USUALLY NOT RIGHT AT THE EIGHT YEAR.

SOMETIMES IT'LL STILL GET UPDATES FOUR SIX, EIGHT, TWELVE WEEKS.

[01:40:04]

BUT AFTER THAT, IT JUST STOPS WORKING.

NOW.

REALLY, THE ONLY THING THAT'S IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED WITH THE THE END OF UPDATES IS THE EVENTUAL FAILURE OF SMARTER, BALANCED ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS VERY SENSITIVE TO THE OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION, TELLING YOU WAY MORE THAN YOU WANT.

BUT THEY WORK JUST FINE FOR KIDS IN CLASSROOMS. TYPICALLY, SOME OF THE YOUNGER KIDS, THE DEVICES JUST KEEP WORKING.

YOU KNOW, I ACTUALLY NEVER ANTICIPATED THAT WE'D GET EIGHT NINE YEARS OUT OF A DEVICE THAT COST A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS.

IS THAT TWENTY TWO HUNDRED A YEAR? IS THAT GOING TO BE PRETTY CONSISTENT? IS THERE ANY KIND OF BUBBLE IN THERE THAT WE HAD AS WE PURCHASED CHROMEBOOKS? OR IS IT GOING TO STAY PRETTY? IT'S IT'S IT'S PRETTY NORMAL FOR OUR ANNUAL UPDATE.

MM HMM.

THE ISSUE THAT WE FACE IS THAT MANUFACTURERS DON'T REFRESH THEIR LINES EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

SO TWO YEARS IN A ROW, WE'LL BUY THE SAME MODEL, SO THOSE TWO YEARS WORTH OF CHROMEBOOKS WILL GO OBSOLETE AT THAT POINT.

IT'S, YOU KNOW, WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE EBBS AND OR DIPS AND INCREASES IN OUR TOTAL INVENTORY, DEPENDING ON WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE AUTO UPDATE EXPIRATION IS HOW IT'S TURNED.

SOMEBODY ELSE? NO, I THINK WE'RE GOOD THEN.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

DID WE HAVE A VOTE? OH THANK YOU I WAS READY TO MOVE ON.

I THOUGHT I WAS MISSING IT.

HECK, I HAVEN'T MISSED ONE IN A WHILE.

YEAH, I ALMOST MISSED THAT YOU MISSED IT.

I YEAH, I WON'T SAY IT ABOUT MISSING DIRECTOR MCCOY ALREADY.

SOMEBODY ELSE WILL CATCH ME.

SO, OK, WE'VE HEARD FROM MR. MCDANIEL, AND NOW WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT WE HEARD ON.

SO LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE OUR PURCHASE OF NINETEEN HUNDRED CHROMEBOOKS.

YEAH I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE NINETEEN HUNDRED CHROMEBOOKS.

THANK YOU, DIRECTOR CHAMPINE FOR MOTION TO APPROVE THE NINETEEN HUNDRED CHROMEBOOKS USING THE FEDERAL FUNDS, WHICH IS OUTSTANDING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

MOTION PASSES THREE ZERO, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I GET A SECOND CHANCE ITEM B APPROVAL OF THE MEMBERS ON THE STRUCTURAL MATERIALS COMMITTEE, ALISON AND DAVE.

HELLO, BOARD.

WE'RE HERE TO ASK YOUR APPROVAL FOR FIVE NEW MEMBERS ON THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS COMMITTEE ALSO CALLED THE IMC.

TO DO THAT, WE WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE PURPOSE OF THE IMC.

AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING, THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT OUR PURPOSE AND IN RESPONSE TO THAT.

WE'VE WRITTEN A SHORT PURPOSE STATEMENT THAT SHOULD BE IN YOUR BOARD PACKET FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM AND TO KIND OF FURTHER ILLUSTRATE THAT ALISON HAS A CHECKLIST OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY USE AT OUR IMC MEETINGS, AND WE THOUGHT WE WOULD JUST HAND THAT OUT AND BRIEFLY GO OVER THAT SO THAT YOU GUYS HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE IMC IS.

AND THEN YOU CAN USE THAT TO DETERMINE IF TO APPROVE THE MEMBERS.

SO THE HANDOUT THAT IS COMING AROUND IS THE IMC REVIEW CHECKLIST, AND IT ACTUALLY COORDINATES WITH THE POLICY.

SO POLICY 20 20 IS BOARD POLICY THAT TALKS ABOUT THE CURRICULUM ADOPTION PROCESS, AND IT INCLUDES SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS COMMITTEE.

SO THE PRINT SIDE IS, SAYS IMC PROCESS REVIEW CHECKLIST.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE USE.

WE HAVE ONE THAT WE USE WITH NEW COURSES.

WE HAVE ONE THAT WE USE WITH EXISTING COURSES, AND WE JUST TALK WITH THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ABOUT HOW WE WENT THROUGH THE COMMITTEE SELECTION, THE PROCESS OF REQUESTING FOR PROPOSALS FROM COMPANIES FOR MATERIALS TO LOOK AT THE IDENTIFICATION OF THESE MATERIALS AND THEN ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY REVIEW PROCESS.

AND THEN THE IMC GOES THROUGH THIS CHECKLIST AND BASICALLY CHECKS OFF THAT THE PROCESS WAS FOLLOWED.

IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT FOLLOWED, THEN WE WOULD GO BACK AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT PROCESS WAS COMPLETED BEFORE WE WOULD TAKE IT BACK TO THE IMC TO THEN BE APPROVED AND COME TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.

SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE ONE TWO THREE FOURTH ITEM DOWN, IT SAYS SELECTION TOOLS IT

[01:45:01]

SAYS SEE BACK.

SO THE BACKSIDE ACTUALLY HAS AN A THROUGH H, AND A THROUGH H ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE LISTED WITHIN BOARD POLICY.

AND SO WE TALK THROUGH EACH OF THOSE, BUT IT'S PUT TOGETHER AS ONE ITEM ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE DOCUMENT.

SO THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE DO WITH OUR ACTUAL PROCESS.

AND THE KEY DISTINCTION IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, IT REALLY IS ABOUT THE PROCEDURAL ASPECTS OF A CURRICULUM ADOPTION.

IT'S NOT ABOUT EVALUATING THE CURRICULUM ITSELF THAT IS DONE SEPARATELY BY THE CURRICULUM ADOPTION COMMITTEE.

SO THAT'S KIND OF JUST WANTED TO DISTINGUISH THAT.

SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OVER THAT PROCESS? AND IF WE CAN DO THAT AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THE NAMES OF THE MEMBERS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING AND YOU CAN VOTE ON THAT.

AND I KNOW THAT SORRY.

I KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD.

WHEN WE ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF RECRUITING CANDIDATES FOR THE IMC, WE HAD A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS WHO APPLIED FOR THIS COMMITTEE THINKING THAT THIS WAS A COMMITTEE THAT WOULD BE REVIEWING CURRICULUM AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS THAT ONCE AN ADOPTION HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND AS ALISON POINTED OUT, THEY'RE GOING BACK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROCESS FOR DOING THAT PARTICULAR CURRICULUM ADOPTION WAS FOLLOWED AND THAT ALL THE STEPS WERE COMPLETED.

SO I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO PUT THIS THIS ITEM RATHER THAN PUT IT IN THE CONSENT AGENDA TO HAVE IT AS NEW BUSINESS SO THAT WE COULD MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION FOR ANYBODY WHO MIGHT BE JOINING IN OR WATCHING OR IS CONFUSED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO.

GREAT, AND I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY, SO POLICY 20 20, DID I GET THAT RIGHT? YEAH, OR AND 20 20 P.

THAT'S OUR ROLE AS A BOARD IS TO SET THAT POLICY TO SET UP THE CREATION OF A COMMITTEE SO THAT THEY CAN LOOK AT THE DETAILS AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S FOLLOWED.

AND THEN THEY WOULD COME TO THE BOARD AND AND SAY, YES, EVERYTHING WAS FOLLOWED AND YOUR POLICY WAS WAS.

RIGHT, HELD TRUE.

SO WHEN WE BRING AN ADOPTION FORTH TO YOU, IT IS COMING FROM THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS COMMITTEE SAYING THAT OUR GROUP HAS FOLLOWED THE PROCESS.

AND I GUESS I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE WITH OUR ONGOING AND CURRENT ADOPTION, WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING TO THE BOARD ALMOST EXPECTING US TO DO THE ADOPTION AS A BOARD AND LOOK AT IT.

AND WHAT WE DO IS SET THE POLICY, PUT THE PEOPLE IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT POLICY IS FOLLOWED AND THEN THEY COME BACK AND LET US KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THAT POLICY WAS FOLLOW ED, CORRECT.

I THINK IT'S JUST HELPFUL TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THE PIECES IN THE PROCESS, SO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SPLIT THIS ONE OUT AND GIVE US A LITTLE MORE INSIGHT.

WHAT WHAT WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO OR THE THREE YEAR TERM AS FAR AS HOW THAT WAS DECIDED.

SO WE HAVE WE HAD 13 PEOPLE WHO APPLIED FOR THE COMMITTEE AND WE HAD SOME HIGHLY QUALIFIED PEOPLE.

WE HAD ONE PERSON.

IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN EVERYBODY EVERYBODY'S TERMS EXPIRE AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.

IT'S NICE TO HAVE SOME CONTINUITY.

JUST LIKE WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD, IT'S NICE TO HAVE SOME OF YOUR MEMBERS WHO CONTINUE ON SO THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROCESS IS.

SO WE HAD A PERSON WHO APPLIED THAT WAS WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN A TWO YEAR TERM.

AND SO THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO HAVE A PARENT WHO STAYS WITH US FOR THREE YEARS AND A PARENT WHO'S THERE WITH US FOR TWO YEARS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME CONTINUITY FROM YEAR TO YEAR.

SO IN THE END, THEY KIND OF AGREED AND CHOSE THAT.

YES.

OK, SO THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE FOR THE COMMITTEE THAT WE WOULD BE APPOINTING, YOU WOULD BE APPOINTING THIS EVENING WOULD BE RACHELLE SIMMONS, WHO IS A BATTLEGROUND HIGH SCHOOL ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AS OUR BUILDING ADMINISTRATOR FOR A THREE YEAR TERM.

TEACHER ROB SHADLE AND TED SCHELVAN FOR THREE YEAR TERMS. ALSO TEACHERS FOR BATTLEGROUND SCHOOL DISTRICT.

JORDAN SHERMAN, A PARENT WITH A TWO YEAR TERM.

AND JON FLICK, A PARENT FOR A THREE YEAR TERM.

THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE FOR YOU.

GREAT, ANY QUESTIONS? I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, APPROVED THE MEMBERS OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL

[01:50:05]

MATERIALS COMMITTEE.

IT'S BEEN MOVED TO APPROVE THE MEMBERS OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS COMMITTEE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE, AYE.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

MOTION PASSES THREE TO ZERO.

OK FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, WE'VE GOT A NEW ROUND OF TOURS COMING UP AFTER THE

[14. Future Agenda Items and Board Events]

FIRST OF THE YEAR, WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK HERE.

I HOPE EVERYBODY TAKES FULL FULL ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

ANYTHING OF NOTE DIRECTOR WATERS ANYTHING FROM THE BOARD.

NO.

SO FOR AUDIENCE MEMBERS OR PRESENTERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG, THAT'S GREAT.

OUR NEXT ITEM IS OUR BOARD SELF-ASSESSMENT.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY IF YOU WANT TO THAT CAN BE A PUBLIC MEETING, BUT YOU'RE ALSO FREE TO FREE TO GO AS WELL.

OUR BOARD SELF-ASSESSMENT IS POLICY 18 20 THAT BY THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR, THE BOARD WILL ENGAGE IN DOING A SELF-ASSESSMENT.

IN THE PAST, BECAUSE IT'S CONSIDERED AN EVALUATION, WE'VE GONE OFF INTO THE OTHER ROOM AND DONE IT THERE.

BUT THERE'S NO REASON TO SAY WE COULDN'T JUST DO HERE IN PUBLIC AND BECAUSE OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH DIRECTOR HENRIKSON AND DIRECTOR SNITILY, MAYBE DIRECTOR SNITILY OR MAYBE BOTH OF THEM ARE WATCHING IN ON THE SYSTEM, BUT WE WOULD NOT MAKE ANY FINAL DECISIONS ON THE SELF-ASSESSMENT UNTIL THEY COULD BE INVOLVED IN THOSE DISCUSSION.

WHAT I AM PROPOSING IS WE USE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO OVER THE SELF-ASSESSMENT WITH THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PRESENT, WE DO HAVE SIX OUT OF THE SEVEN PEOPLE WHO FILLED OUT THE SELF-ASSESSMENT HERE IN THE ROOM.

SO WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY OR CLOSE TO EVERYBODY THAT DID.

THE IDEA WOULD BE TO LOOK AT THE RESULTS, HAVE A CHANCE TO GIVE COMMENTS AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS.

AND THEN THE END GOAL EVENTUALLY, WHEN WE GET OUR OTHER TWO DIRECTORS BACK WITH US WOULD BE TO SET OUR BOARD GOALS.

AND THOSE GOALS ARE NOT FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL DISTRICT AS A WHOLE.

THEREFORE, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO AS A BOARD TO MAKE OURSELVES BETTER AS A TEAM? AND FOR THAT REASON, IT INCLUDES OUR SUPERINTENDENT AND ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT AS WELL, SINCE WE CONSIDER THEM PART OF THE TEAM.

WE OK WITH THAT.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST IS A FIVE MINUTE STRETCH BREAK AND THEN WE CAN COME BACK AND I'LL GO OVER HOW WE'VE DONE THIS IN THE PAST AND SEE IF WE HAVE AGREEMENT THAT THAT'S HOW WE WANT TO DO IT TONIGHT.

[15. Work Session]

THIS IS OUR SPECIAL WORK SESSION FOR OUR BOARD SELF EVALUATION.

THAT IS REGULATED BY OUR POLICY 18, 20.

HERE WE GO.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL MEET AT LEAST ANNUALLY NO LATER THAN THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPRAISING ITS FUNCTION AS A BOARD AND TO EVALUATE THE BOARD'S PERFORMANCE.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS SELF-EVALUATION IS INTENDED TO FOSTER GROWTH AND ENHANCE POSITIVE PERFORMANCE INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY IS NOT THE INTENT OF THE BOARD SELF-EVALUATION TO EMBARRASS OR UNDULY CRITICIZE INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS THE APPRAISAL PLAN APPROVED BY THE DEVELOPED BY THE BOARD.

PRESIDENT WORKING WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT DESIGNEE, AND THEN IT LISTS ABOUT 12 ITEMS OR SO ON OUR POLICY THAT WE HAVE BEEN USING FOR THE LAST.

SEVERAL YEARS, YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COPY ON YOUR TABLE, YEAH, THE THE WSSDA BOARD SELF-EVALUATION.

AND I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW HOW LONG THAT HAS GONE THROUGH WSSDA, BUT FOR US, IT GOES BACK TO 2017.

THERE ARE SEVERAL BENEFITS OF USING THE WSSDA SELF EVALUATION.

NUMBER ONE, WE AREN'T THE ONLY BOARD THAT USE IT.

AND THEREFORE, WHEN WE GET OUR RESULTS BACK, WE CAN ACTUALLY COMPARE OURSELVES TO OTHER DISTRICTS THAT USE THE SAME INSTRUMENT.

SO THINK OF THE [INAUDIBLE] TEST OR ANY OF THE OTHER THINGS THE STANDARDIZED TESTS THAT THE KIDS TAKE.

[01:55:01]

IT'S MORE VALUABLE WHEN YOU CAN COMPARE IT TO YOUR COHORT ACROSS THE NATION OR YOUR GRADE LEVEL ACROSS THE NATION, SO ON.

SO THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE'VE DONE THAT.

I BELIEVE DIRECTOR CHAMPINE WENT TO A SESSION AT THE WSSDA DEAL THAT ACTUALLY SHOWED THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN BOARD POLICIES AND ACTIONS THAT RESULT IN HIGHER, BETTER PERFORMANCE BY STUDENTS, AND THAT CAME FROM THE USE OF THIS PARTICULAR INSTRUMENT THAT WAS DEVELOPED HERE IN WASHINGTON.

AND I THINK MONTANA STATE DID THE THE STUDY OR SOMETHING ON IT.

SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THAT INFORMATION.

SO IF YOU HAVE YOUR CHROMEBOOK OR IF YOU HAVE THE PAPER COPY, YOU WILL FIND ON PAGE TWO THE RECOMMENDED HOW TO LOOK AT THE DATA AND GO OVER THE RESULTS.

WE HAVE A CHECKERED PAST IN TERMS OF FOLLOWING THIS PROCESS.

WE WERE CLOSEST LAST YEAR.

WE WERE ALL OVER THE MAP IN SOME OF THE PREVIOUS YEARS.

UNLESS THERE'S OBJECTIONS OR OTHER SUGGESTIONS, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE IN FACT FOLLOW THIS PROCESS BECAUSE AGAIN, IT'S THE RECOMMENDED PROCESS FOR ALL OTHER BOARDS TO GO THROUGH WHEN THEY LOOK AT THE THE SELF-EVALUATION.

AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T BRING OTHER THINGS UP, BUT JUST AS A PROCESS TO FOLLOW SO.

ARE YOU OK WITH FOLLOWING THAT PROCESS? YES.

OK, THANK YOU, I THINK THAT'LL MAKE IT GO SMOOTHLY, SO END IN MINE AND AGAIN, WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET TO THAT END TONIGHT.

THE END IN MIND WOULD BE TO COME UP WITH A SMALL NUMBER BETWEEN TWO AND FOUR MAYBE BOARD GOALS THAT WOULD BE OUR FOCUS FOR THE YEAR FOR WHAT CAN WE DO AS A BOARD TO SELF IMPROVE .

AND I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND REMIND YOU THE FOUR GOALS THAT WE CARRIED ON FROM LAST YEAR.

SO YOU GET AN IDEA.

THE RECOMMENDATION IS WE USE THE SMART GOAL FORMAT, WHICH IS PROBABLY SHOULD READ IT HERE.

SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE, RESULTS ORIENTED AND TIME BOUND.

PERFECT.

OKAY.

THANKS FOR THAT ASSIST.

OK, SO OUR FIRST GOAL LAST YEAR, WERE BASED ON THE QUESTIONS NUMBER TWENTY TWO AND SIXTY SEVEN ABOUT BRINGING ON NEW MEMBERS.

AND SO WE WANTED TO UPDATE OUR BOARD MEMBER ORIENTATION MANUAL, INCLUDING THE SECTION SPECIFICALLY FOR STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS.

SO THAT WAS VERY SPECIFIC AND WE WANTED TO DO IT BY THE TIME WE PUT NEW MEMBERS ON.

SO I WAS VERY SPECIFIC AND I THINK WE ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED THAT.

WE ACTUALLY GOT A BINDER TO RICARDO BY THE TIME HE WAS GOING.

AND SO I FEEL LIKE WE DID PRETTY GOOD WITH THAT ONE.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO SAY IS I DON'T THINK THAT WORK IS DONE.

I THINK WE CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE ON THAT.

SO I'D LOVE TO HAVE INPUT FROM STUDENT DIRECTORS ON HOW CAN WE MAKE THAT ORIENTATION MANUAL FOR STUDENTS AS THEY COME ON BECAUSE WE PUT A NEW STUDENT ON EVERY SPRING, YOU KNOW, BETTER.

OUR SECOND ONE WAS BASED ON QUESTION NUMBER SIXTY THREE AND IT WAS USE AND MAKE OPPORTUNITIES TO PROMOTE CULTURAL, RACIAL, ETHNIC UNDERSTANDING AND SENSITIVITY AT BOARD MEETINGS AND IN THE SCHOOLS AND IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE SAID THAT THAT WOULD GO ON THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND OUR INTENTION IS WE'D BRING GROUPS IN TO TALK TO THE BOARD BECAUSE OF COVID AND NOT SO MUCH, YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY, I THINK WHAT SUPERINTENDENT WATERS HAS DONE IN TERMS OF EVEN JUST OPENING UP SOME COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

WE START TO MOVE THAT WAY.

UM, OUR THIRD ONE.

WE'RE BASED ON NO QUESTIONS NUMBER FIFTY SIX AND FIFTY SEVEN.

WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT ESTABLISH WRITTEN PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS CONNECTED TO STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND THE COMMUNICATE THEM TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT IS KIND OF PART OF OUR SMART GOALS OR OUR SIP PLANS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

WHAT WE FOUND COMMUNICATING SOME OF THE THINGS IN EDUCATIONAL EASE TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE STILL NEED TO WORK ON DOING THAT BETTER.

PUT IT IN PLAIN LANGUAGE AS OUR ONE CITIZEN COMMENT WAS AND OUR FOURTH ONE WAS PRIORITIZED THE REGULAR REVIEW OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA ON THE SCHOOL BOARD CALENDAR WITH EMPHASIS ON FORMATS THAT ARE FRIENDLY TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND FIRST TIME USERS.

OK, SO ONE PART IS JUST BECAUSE WE'RE DONE WITH THE YEAR, WE COULD CARRY ON SOME OF THOSE GOALS.

IN FACT, TO SOME DEGREE GOALS SHOULD BE KIND OF ENDURING AND CARRY ON LIKE OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

SO THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE THAT YOU FEEL LIKE, OH, WE'VE.

CAN KIND OF CHECK THAT OFF OUR LIST, OR WE CAN PICK SOMETHING NEW TO REPLACE IT.

OR IS THERE ONE OF THOSE WE FEEL LIKE WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE WITH?

[02:00:06]

WELL, AND AS YOU STATED, MARK, SOME OF THOSE GOALS HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY OUR ABILITY TO MEET THOSE GOALS.

CORRECT.

SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED BY YEAH, YEAH.

AND THE STATE WERE UNDER SO.

OK, SO I KNOW I JUST KIND OF READ THOSE TO YOU, DIRECTOR CHAMPINE, BUT DID YOU KIND OF GET AN IDEA OF WHERE WE'RE HEADING FOR OUR END AND MINE IS TO COME UP WITH THREE OR FOUR GOALS THAT WE WOULD WORK ON AS A BOARD? YEAH, I THINK I HEARD THEM.

I UNDERSTOOD THEM.

CERTAINLY JUST NEED SOME TIME SO WE CAN BRAINSTORM.

WHAT IF RICARDO AND I BASICALLY JUST HAD LIKE THIS STUDENT ORIENTATION KIND OF LIKE OUR GOAL, AND THEN WE HAD THE BOARD GOALS.

WE NEED TO.

UM.

SO THEN RICARDO AND I CAN SET OURSELVES UP FOR THE STUDENTS.

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

AND THEN WE HAVE BOARD EXPECTATIONS, TOO.

AND I THINK IT FOLLOWS UP ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, SYDNEY, WE'VE WE MADE IT A GOAL TO HOW CAN WE GET BETTER USE OUT OF OUR STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS.

AND YOU TWO CERTAINLY HAVE STEPPED UP, AND THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW WE COULD CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT MOMENTUM GOING, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU GUYS, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT.

THE PERSPECTIVE IS DIFFERENT IF WE HAVE A DIRECTOR TRYING TO DO IT RATHER THAN A STUDENT THAT HAS LIVED IT AND HAS GONE THROUGH IT, AND ESPECIALLY SOMEONE WHO REALLY DIDN'T HAVE LIKE AN ORIENTATION PAMPHLET VERSUS SOMEONE WHO DID GREAT WHEN THEY STARTED.

I THINK THAT'S CAPITAL.

AND IF I COULD PROPOSE.

AND I'M STEPPING ON I'M STEPPING OUT OF LINE HERE, BUT I.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE, AS YOU AND RICARDO, LOOK AT THAT ABOUT HOW YOU CAN HELP STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS, IF YOU WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT OUR SELECTION PROCESS AND OUR THE ENTIRE PROCESS, THE INTERVIEW, THE WHOLE THING? AND LOOK AT THAT AND HOW WE MIGHT IMPROVE THAT AS WELL.

CAN WE GET THOSE FORMS EMAILED TO US.

YEAH, WE'LL GET YOU THOSE.

AND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS.

SO KEEP THOSE IN MIND.

SO STEP NUMBER TWO IS TO TAKE A LOOK AT PAGE THREE, WHICH IS A SUMMARY OF KIND OF ALL THE QUESTIONS BROKEN INTO THE FIVE MAJOR STANDARDS AREA.

IT ALSO HAS OUR DATA FROM 2017 TO TODAY OR TO THIS ONE, AND I DO WANT TO MAKE A NOTE THAT WE MADE A PURPOSEFUL, SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS DURING THIS MEETING OF TRYING TO GO THROUGH THESE QUESTIONS IN THAT.

WE HAD, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BLACK BAR, WHICH REPRESENTS I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION, AND I KIND OF MADE IT A GOAL AS THE PRESIDENT THIS YEAR AS I GOT US STARTED ON THIS PROCESS OF HANDING OUT THE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE.

WE HAD NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE SO THAT YOU KNEW WHEN YOU WENT TO LOOK AT THE SURVEY WHAT TO EXPECT AND WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF TAKING THE SURVEY, IT'S KIND OF LIKE YOU WANT TO GET IT DONE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO STOP AND GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE POLICY MANUAL OR GO LOOK UP A RESOURCE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

AND SO I DID ALL THOSE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE, AND I CROSS-REFERENCED THEM WITH THE POLICIES THAT WE DID HAVE THAT WE THAT WE KNEW OF.

AND I HOPE THAT ONE OF THE THINGS YOU'LL NOTICE IS IN THIS YEAR'S RESULTS, WE JUST HAVE A LOT FEWER, I DON'T KNOW.

SO RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO SO I'M HOPING WITH THE SMALL NUMBER OF I DON'T KNOWS, WE WON'T HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT.

THAT WE HAVE TO GO RESEARCH TO FIGURE IT OUT.

SO THAT'S A NOTICEABLE CHANGE THAT I JUST WANTED YOU TO PICK UP.

OK, SO THEN AFTER THAT, I NEED INPUT FROM YOU AFTER LOOKING AT THESE FIVE BIG CATEGORIES.

WHAT TRENDS OR THINGS STAND OUT TO YOU THAT WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO? CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? YES, PLEASE DO.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SEEING THIS, SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS DID PREVIOUSLY.

YOU DID A SURVEY, CORRECT? THE BOARD MEMBERS DID.

CORRECT.

OKAY.

[02:05:02]

I I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

AND IF I UNDERSTAND THERE'S SEVERAL OK, SEVERAL QUESTIONS LIKE A HUNDRED QUESTIONS.

THERE'S SEVENTY THREE QUESTIONS.

SEVENTY THREE QUESTIONS, OK.

AND THEN THEY THEY SUM UP AND CATEGORIZE INTO THESE DIFFERENT.

YES.

AND YOU BASICALLY RESPOND AS YOU SEE UP ON THE KEY THERE THAT YES, WE ALWAYS DO THAT AS A BOARD.

SO THE QUESTION IS PHRASED, SO ARE YOU DOING THIS AS A BOARD? AND THEY'RE BASED ON THE SCHOOL BOARD STANDARDS.

WASHINGTON STATE SCHOOL BOARD STANDARD.

SO JUST LIKE STUDENTS HAVE MATH STANDARDS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS STANDARDS AND TEACHERS HAVE [INAUDIBLE] STANDARDS, THEN THESE ARE THE STANDARDS USED BY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.

OK, THANK YOU.

I WAS JUST SEEING THAT.

GOALS, I THINK THAT IT'S AN AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT.

JUST LOOKING AT KIND OF THE SPLIT IN.

UM.

YOU KNOW HOW THE QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED.

IT LOOKS I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S SOME ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT THERE.

SO I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD FOR STANDARD FOUR HOLD SCHOOL DISTRICT ACCOUNTABLE FOR MEETING STUDENT LEARNING EXPECTATIONS.

I FEEL LIKE IT'S KIND OF HALF AND HALF, BUT I FEEL LIKE AS A SCHOOL BOARD, OUR MAIN PURPOSE IS FOR THE STUDENTS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT ALWAYS A LITTLE MORE.

THEN MOST OF THE TIME, YEP, I'D LIKE TO ALSO ADD THAT STANDARD FOUR ALSO HAS THE MOST DON'T KNOWS SO.

COULD BE A LITTLE CONCERNING.

DON'T KNOWS.

OR SOME OF THE TIME, AND I THINK THAT JUST WE NEED TO EDUCATE OURSELVES AND EDUCATE THE REST OF THE BOARD AND GET ON THE SAME PAGE.

GREAT, I'D POINT OUT.

THERE'S SOME MAYBE, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERABLE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN STANDARD TWO AND STANDARD THREE, WHICH I FIND INTERESTING BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE YEARS 20 AND 21 IN BOTH STANDARDS, TWO AND THREE, THEY'RE ALMOST THE EXACT OPPOSITES FOR LIKE ALWAYS YOU'D SEE A STANDARD TWO, 2021, YOU KNOW, SET AND COMMUNICATE HIGH EXPECTATIONS THROUGHOUT COVID.

I WOULD EXPECT THAT THAT MIGHT START TO DIP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU START AT THE END OF 2019 AND WORK YOUR WAY IN THE CURRENT TREND.

I WOULD EXPECT THAT TO DIP A LITTLE BIT.

BUT THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT STANDARD THREE GREAT CONDITIONS DISTRICT WIDE FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF SUCCESS.

YOU KNOW, IS THAT HIGH BECAUSE OF THE LEVEL OF EFFORT THAT THE DISTRICT PUT IN IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT DISTANCE LEARNING WAS A SUCCESS? YOU KNOW, AND THAT WE FOUGHT THROUGH THOSE CHALLENGES? IS THAT AN INDICATION OF THAT? I JUST THINK IT'S INTERESTING THAT THERE'S SUCH SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THOSE TWO.

AND IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL AS YOU GO ALONG.

SO IT'S PROBABLY GOOD THAT THIS PROCESS IS GOING TO CARRY OVER.

AND THAT'S WHY I THANK YOU.

I WANTED TO ENGAGE IN THIS TONIGHT SO WE COULD START THAT THINKING.

I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR STANDARD THREE, THEY ALL START TO MOVE INTO THINGS LIKE STAFF DEVELOPMENT TEACHER, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FACILITIES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

CORRECT, YEAH.

AND YOU MIGHT HAVE AGAIN, THIS IS FOR DIRECTOR CHAMPINE.

THERE WAS A REPORT NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUT HOW JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, WE WERE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON OUTSIDE SOURCES FOR OUR TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND WITHIN THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE NOW TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BRINGING THAT IN-HOUSE AND USING OUR OWN TEACHERS AS EXPERTS AND CO TEACHING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO I THINK THE REASON THAT THAT SHOWS A HIGHER ALWAYS IS THAT EMPHASIS ON TAKING MORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT DISCUSSION, AND I DO WHEN I LOOK AT STANDARD TWO AND STANDARD FOUR ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS CLEAR TO ME IS THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT AS A BOARD OR AS A DISTRICT, WE'VE EVER SET STUDENT LEARNING EXPECTATIONS.

I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT WE OBVIOUSLY WANT OUR STUDENTS TO DO WELL IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AREAS AND A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, BUT WE HAVEN'T REALLY SET ANY

[02:10:01]

REALLY SPECIFIC CLEAR GOALS LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, GRADUATION RATE.

I KNOW THAT THE BOARD AND I WANT HIGH GRADUATION RATES AND OUR GRADUATION RATES ARE ABOVE THE STATE AVERAGE.

THEY'RE SOMEWHERE IN A FOUR YEAR GRADUATION RATE, RIGHT AROUND EIGHTY SIX PERCENT.

BUT WE'VE NEVER SAT DOWN AND SAID, OK, WELL, WE WANT THOSE TO GET TO 90 PERCENT RIGHT OR WE WANT TO SEE WHERE WE COMPARE TO ALL OF THE OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND.

AND WE WANT TO SAY THAT WE WANT TO BE AS GOOD AS THEM AND THEY'RE CURRENTLY HERE.

SO LET'S GET THERE.

WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT.

SO I DON'T, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE.

THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION.

I THINK I THINK THAT'S WHAT I WAS KIND OF GETTING AT IS LIKE HAVING THAT COMMUNICATION AND GETTING ON THE SAME PAGE.

I THINK WE CAN SEE THOSE NUMBERS KIND OF GO MORE TOWARDS ALWAYS RATHER THAN MOST OF THE TIME OR SOME OF THE TIME.

AND I'D LIKE TO CHIME IN ON THAT AND SAY, I THINK DIRECTOR MCCOY, ONE OF THE THINGS HE CARRIED OVER FROM THOSE GOALS WAS NOT ONLY DO WE NEED TO SET THOSE GOALS, BUT HAVE THEM COMMUNICATED TO OUR PARENTS AND STUDENTS AND NOT EDUCATION LEADS, BUT STUDENT FRIENDLY LANGUAGE IN PARENT FRIENDLY LANGUAGE SO THAT THEY CAN BE PARTNERS IN THAT GOAL.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY A GOOD PAT ON THE BACK FOUR, STANDARD NUMBER FIVE AND THE LEVY.

OK, SO I'M TRYING TO TAKE NOTES.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO HELP ME AS WE GO ALONG.

I HEAR A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON BOTH TWO AND FOUR AS AREAS THAT WE MIGHT GET MORE SPECIFIC AND MEASURABLE.

BASED ON THE [INAUDIBLE] MEETING FROM THIS LAST WEEK, I DO THINK IT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE TO CONSIDER CONTINUING WITH THE GOAL OF USING LANGUAGE THAT'S ACCESSIBLE BY OUR COMMUNITY.

CERTAINLY, EVEN IN OUR DISCUSSION, WE HAD PEOPLE TAKE PAUSE WHEN WE USED ACRONYMS LIKE PBIS AND AND [INAUDIBLE] AND JUST A VARIETY OF THINGS.

AND I THINK IF WE CAN DEFINE THOSE FOR OUR COMMUNITY OR PUT THEM IN WAYS THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

[INAUDIBLE] WOULD BE A GREAT ONE, YEAH.

YES, WELL, AND AND I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO TRY TO TURN PARENTS INTO EDUCATIONAL EASE PEOPLE, BUT LIKE WHAT GLENWOOD HAS DONE WHAT THE PARENT ACADEMY TO TRY TO HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND TESTING AND ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

I THINK THAT.

COULD BE A WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR AS WELL.

OK, ANY OTHER TRENDS YOU'D LIKE TO NOTE? UM, I WANTED TO SAY I THINK IT WOULD BE SO OUR GOAL THAT WAS BASED ON QUESTION SIXTY THREE ADVOCATE AT THE LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS ON BEHALF OF ALL STUDENTS.

UM, AND THE DISTRICT.

IS THAT RIGHT? WHAT DID YOU SAY OUR GOAL IS FOR? IT WAS LIKE THE THIRD THE SECOND GOAL? SURE.

THIS CAME FROM A DIRECTOR HENRIKSON AT THE TIME, AND I THINK IT WILL MATCH UP ONCE YOU HEAR IT.

SO USE AND MAKE OPPORTUNITIES TO PROMOTE CULTURAL, RACIAL, ETHNIC UNDERSTANDING AND SENSITIVITY AT BOARD MEETINGS.

AND WITHIN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES.

SO I THINK IT'S MORE SPECIFICALLY WAS CALLING OUT OUR DIVERSITY IN DESCRIBING ALL STUDENTS.

YEAH, SIXTY THREE AND SIXTY FOUR IS WHERE THAT WOULD FALL.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD ONE TO WE COULD, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO KEEP THAT GOAL TO KEEP WORKING ON IT THAT WE DIDN'T LIKE.

YOU SAID WE DIDN'T REALLY GET A A CHANCE TO DANCE TO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE JUST GOT OUR DOORS OPEN, RIGHT? SO IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT LONG AGO.

SO TO BE ABLE TO REALLY, UM, EXPAND ON THAT ONE WOULD BE.

OR HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT ONE SUCCEED.

OK, AND I KNOW I'M PUTTING TED ON THE SPOT BECAUSE HE'S SEEING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT AGAIN WE'RE GOING TO CARRY THIS OVER, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND.

SO THOSE ARE THE BROAD AREAS.

THE NEXT STEP IS TO SAY, IS THERE ANY LIKE ONE SPECIFIC QUESTION?

[02:15:03]

AND I KNOW THAT MEANS LOOKING THROUGH WHATEVER.

IS THERE SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY THINK STANDS OUT AS A SPECIFIC QUESTION THAT WE NEED TO GET BETTER AT OR? ADDRESS.

YOU KNOW, ANOTHER NUMBERS FOR 2021 FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND.

RELATIVELY HIGH AND ALWAYS, BUT I'D STILL LIKE TO SEE THAT NUMBER INCREASED.

AND IF WE WERE TO MAKE A BOARD GOAL THAT WAS MORE IN LINE WITH COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND, YOU KNOW, INCREASING THOSE NUMBERS, ENGAGING IT, AND I KNOW SUPERINTENDENT WATERS IS VERY ACTIVE IN THAT FRONT AND I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE AND APPLAUD THAT.

BUT I THINK THAT WE COULD CERTAINLY COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE MEASURABLE.

OK? AS FAR AS INVOLVING THE COMMUNITY? YEAH.

I THINK ANOTHER AREA WE COULD LOOK AT IS THE CONTINUING MONITORING, THE PROGRESS TOWARDS THE GOALS AND OUTCOMES OF THE DISTRICT PLAN.

IT SEEMS THAT THERE'S.

MAYBE NOT A LOT OF CONSENSUS THAT WE DO THAT AND SO REGULARLY, SO IT WOULD BE NICE MAYBE TO LIKE.

UM, HAVE A MEASUREMENT THAT SHOWS WE DO THAT.

THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'D BE A MEASUREMENT, MAYBE JUST INDICATORS.

MM HMM.

WE SEEMS LIKE WE COULD USE OUR BOARD AGENDA.

YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE SPECIFIC INVITEES, EITHER GROUPS OR PARENTS OR I'VE MENTIONED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND I THINK OTHERS CAME UP TODAY ABOUT HOW GREAT OUR PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATIONS AT THE SCHOOLS ARE.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WE'VE NEVER EVEN INVITED THEM TO A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING, TO NUMBER ONE SAY THANKS, BUT NO TO GET THEIR INPUT.

YOU KNOW, IF WE HAD THAT AS AN INDICATOR THAT, YES, WE SPECIFICALLY INVITED THESE GROUPS TO COME AND PRESENT TO THE BOARD AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A DIALOG, THAT'D BE.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT UNDER STANDARD FOUR QUESTION, FIFTY SIX HAVE WRITTEN GOALS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT THAT FOCUS ON SPECIFIC OUTCOMES FOR STUDENT LEARNING.

I THINK THAT CAN KIND OF BE SOMETHING WE COULD FOCUS ON BECAUSE IT'S SPECIFIC OUTCOMES FOR STUDENT LEARNING, BUT MORE SO NOT JUST BE DENNY, BUT US COLLECTIVELY AS A GROUP.

JUST LIKE QUOTE UNQUOTE GRADUATION, BUT APPLYING THAT TO GRADE LEVELS AND IN CLASSROOM, OUT OF CLASSROOM ATHLETICS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

GREAT, THANKS.

AND THAT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO BRING UP, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T.

SOMETIMES WE DO THINGS AND THEY KIND OF GO AWAY REAL FAST.

SO DENNY HAS A SET OF STANDARDS THAT HE HAS TO MEET, JUST LIKE WE WERE DOING WITH OUR OWN BOARD.

AND IN JULY, I THINK IT WAS OR BEFORE THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, WE AGREED TO FOCUS ON AREAS TWO AND FOUR AND YOU'D HAVE TO HELP.

I DON'T HAVE A MEMORIZE, SO I THINK IT WAS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

I'LL HAVE TO LOOK THE OTHER ONE UP, SO TO PARTIALLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IS WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE BROAD GOALS IDENTIFIED FOR THIS YEAR THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT IT.

BUT I LIKE YOUR SUGGESTION FOR HOW TO HOW DO WE MAKE THEM AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE AND MEASURABLE.

AND I THINK THERE ARE INDICATORS FOR THOSE TOO, AREN'T THERE MR. WATERS, THERE IS FOR ALL OF THOSE THINGS, YEAH .

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? NUMBER FIFTY SIX, RIGHT? CORRECT.

AND THAT WAS PART OF OUR GOALS FROM LAST YEAR.

YES, IT IS, YES, BECAUSE IT DOVETAILS WITH THE WHOLE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PIECE.

AND I THINK THE REASON WHY I KIND OF PINPOINTED TO ME BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK FROM

[02:20:04]

2017 TO 2021, YOU HAVE ANSWERS ALL ACROSS THE BOARD AND IT'S NOT CLEAR AND IT'S NOT CONSISTENT AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN SINCE 2017.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

YEAH, I WILL MAKE A NOTE THAT THE MECHANISM FOR THE WSSDA SURVEY IS ANONYMOUS, BUT WE'RE A SMALL GROUP AND WE ADDED ONE MORE SURVEY AFTER WE DID OUR LAST CALL AND WHEN WE HAD THE FIRST.

FIVE, WE DID WE GET SIX TOTALS THAT WE'VE GOT SIX TOTAL AFTER WE GOT THE FIRST FIVE, WE ONLY HAD THREE.

I DON'T KNOW IS AFTER THE LAST ONE CAME IN, WE HAD DOUBLE THAT NUMBER SIX.

I DON'T KNOW.

SO THE PERSON MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT I HAD EMAILED THE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW TO FIND THAT OUT AS WE GO.

SO WE HAD A FEW MORE IN THERE AND I REFER THAT TO NUMBER FIFTY SIX, WHICH IS HAS ONE OF THOSE I DON'T KNOWS IN THERE.

I WILL MENTION AS YOU.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE RED STOPLIGHT OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, THE RED BAR ON THERE, WHICH SAYS NEVER.

IT WOULD BE A RED FLAG IN SOMETHING IF WE REALLY FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM THAT SAID, NO, WE'RE NOT DOING THAT EVER, YOU KNOW? AND THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY RED BARS IN ANY CATEGORY, SO I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THAT.

OK, SO WHAT I'VE HEARD SO FAR.

I'LL TRY TO SUMMARIZE, BUT DON'T DON'T STOP GIVING ME IDEAS.

IF YOU'VE GOT THINGS IN THERE IS WE'VE GOT OUR TWO STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS WHO HAVE STEPPED UP ONCE AGAIN AND SAID WE'LL TAKE ON THE STUDENT ORIENTATION MANUAL AND MAYBE EVEN SELECTION PROCESS AND TRY TO HAVE THAT BE A GREAT GOAL TO MAKE THAT TIMELY BY SAYING BEFORE WE DO OUR NEXT TURNOVER.

SO THAT GIVES US TILL APRIL, MAY BEFORE WE HAVE OUR INTERVIEWS.

BUT KEEP THAT IN MIND.

THE MAIN KICKER FOR US AND WHAT IT WOULD BE IS JUST HAVING A TIME WHERE WE CAN SIT DOWN AND ACTUALLY WRITE IT OUT AND THINK ABOUT IF WE WERE BRAND NEW, WHAT WOULD WE WANT AND HOW WOULD WE WANT IT TO BE PHRASED? AND I THINK THAT'S AND THEN JUST MAKING LIKE A LITTLE FOLDER OR SOMETHING.

AND THEN JUST.

GREAT, AND YES, WE WANT YOU TO TAKE THE LEAD, BUT MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK AS WELL, AND ONE OF US WOULD BE GLAD TO HELP OUT AND AND BE AVAILABLE.

I ALSO HEARD THAT WE ARE CARRYING FORTH OUR OPPORTUNITIES TO PROMOTE DIALOG WITH THE WITH THE PUBLIC FROM ALL SEGMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY AND.

MARK, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP RICARDO AND SYDNEY ON THAT, JUST WITH MY HR BACKGROUND, I COULD PROBABLY.

WE HAD THE SUGGESTION TO STICK WITH THE THE GOAL FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT'S WRITTEN PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS, AND THAT'S ALREADY PARTIALLY IN PLACE WITH THE SELECTION OF WHICH AREAS WE'RE FOCUSING ON FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION.

AND ACTUALLY, IT LOOKED LIKE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CARRYING FORWARD THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA REVIEW.

IS THAT RIGHT? YES.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, THAT MAKES IT RELATIVELY EASY.

WHAT I'D PROPOSE IS I WOULD TAKE THE SUMMARY OF THIS DISCUSSION, MAKE SURE IT GETS TO DIRECTOR HENRIKSON AND DIRECTOR SNITILY SO THAT THEY CAN PUT IN THEIR TWO CENTS AND THEN AND ONE OF THE JANUARY MEETINGS.

MAYBE WE WON'T PUT IT ON TOP OF THE OTHER SIP PLAN ONE AND MAKE IT A SUPER LONG ONE LIKE WE DID TONIGHT.

THANKS FOR DOING SO.

SO WE COULD ACTUALLY BREAK FOR CHRISTMAS WITH A CLEAN BREAK HERE AND THAT GOING ON.

SO MAYBE DIRECTOR WATER OR SUPERINTENDENT WATERS, MAYBE THAT SECOND ONE IN JANUARY, IF IT'S NOT TOO CROWDED, WE'LL TRY TO FINALIZE THIS.

OH, IT'S THE SECOND ONE? OK, SO MAYBE THE FIRST ONE, THE FIRST ONE.

RICARDO AND I ARE PLANNING THE JANUARY 10TH MEETING.

OK, RICARDO AND I ARE PLANNING TO DO OUR PRESENTATION ON KINDNESS.

I THINK THERE'S ROOM FOR BOTH.
