SO, YEAH, MR. WATERS, WE'RE VERY EXCITED TODAY.

TODAY, THE FRIENDS OF THE BATTLE GROUND COMMUNITY LIBRARY ARE GOING TO BE MAKING A DONATION OF BOOKS RELATING THE STORY OF THE NAMING OF BATTLE GROUND. DON HIGGINS IS THE RESEARCHER AND AUTHOR OF PEACE WINS AT THE BATTLE GROUND 1855, AFTER MR. HIGGINS ASSEMBLED A HISTORY'S MYSTERIES EXHIBIT AT THE LIBRARY A FEW YEARS AGO, HE WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE COMPLETE STORY THAT HAD EVER BEEN TOLD.

HE BEGAN A THREE YEAR SEARCH, DIVING DEEPER INTO THE CULTURE, FEARS, CHARACTERS AND CHALLENGES TO PEACE IN 1855.

[00:05:02]

A COPY OF THE BOOK IS BEING DONATED TO ALL OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND LIBRARY COLLECTIONS AT EACH OF OUR SCHOOLS.

SO PLEASE JOIN US.

THANK YOU. YEAH, COME ON UP.

AND THANK YOU FOR SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TODAY WITH US.

THIS IS MY HOME. IT IS HOME.

I THINK WE'RE IN A MUCH SMALLER ROOM, RIGHT? I WOULD LIKE TO.

YEAH, DON, GO AHEAD. THANK YOU FOR INVITING US.

WHEN I DID THE EARLIER EXHIBIT IN 2016, IT WAS VERY POPULAR, BUT I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS VERY COMPLETE.

WE KNEW VIRTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT THE INDIAN SIDE.

WE KNEW THE NAME OF CHIEF UMTUCH, BUT ABOUT HARDLY ANYONE ELSE.

AND WITH HEART SURGERY AND COVID, I HAD SOME TIME ON MY HANDS.

AND WITH EDITORS, LIKE THE LOCAL HISTORIAN AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE LIBRARY BOARD, I COULD GET BY WITH NOTHING. BUT I DID WORK A GREAT DEAL IN RESEARCHING OLD TEXTS, A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION ONLINE, AND WE WERE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A NEW STORY.

IT'S THE SAME STORY THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE FOR 167 YEARS, BUT IT HAS SOME ADDITIONS.

AND WE PUT THIS TOGETHER.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S IT'S NOT FOR SALE.

WE FUNDED IT OURSELVES OR THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY UP TO THIS POINT, AND WE'VE ENJOYED THE TASK OF MAKING IT.

AND THERE'S LOTS OF INFORMATION HERE.

THAT IS WHAT WE'VE CALLED NEW HISTORY.

THERE'S INDIAN NARRATIVES THAT WERE 100 YEARS OLD.

THEY WERE WRITTEN BY LUCELLAS QUARTER, WHO WAS A HISTORIAN IN YAKIMA.

HE DIED IN 1944, AND HIS RECORDS WENT TO THE WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY.

GOT THAT RIGHT THIS TIME.

AND IN THOSE RECORDS WERE SOME VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION AND IT SETTLED A LOT OF OLD ARGUMENTS.

THE NINE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WHO KILLED CHIEF UMTUCH, WE CAN TELL YOU ONE VERSION NOW.

WE CAN TELL YOU WHERE OR VERY CLOSE TO WHERE IT HAPPENED.

WE CAN TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE INDIANS, WHO THEY WERE AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM.

I BROUGHT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS FROM WAS IN THE PAPER ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

IT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH OUR STORY, BECAUSE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT SAYS IT WAS ABOUT THE YAKIMA NATION AND IT STARTS OUT WITH WHITE SWAN AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE WHITE SWAN PAVILION WHERE THIS OCCASION TOOK PLACE.

NOW, IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT YAKIMA OR WHITE SWAN, IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STATE AND IT'S NOT NOTED FOR WATERFOWL.

SO WHERE DID WHITE SWAN COME FROM? WHAT WAS THAT NAME? WHITE SWAN WAS THE NAME OF THE FIRST ELECTED CHIEF OF THE CONFEDERATED TRIBES AND BANDS OF THE YAKIMA NATION.

HE WAS ACTUALLY THE SECOND CHIEF IN ORDER, BUT HE WAS THE FIRST ELECTED CHIEF AND HE WAS CHIEF FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS.

HE WAS QUITE POPULAR, WELL RECEIVED.

THE FISHING ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER THAT YOU SEE THE INDIANS DO.

THAT'S WHITE SWAN'S WORK.

1906 DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.

WHITE SWAN AS A YOUNG MAN, GOT HIS NAME ON A SPIRIT QUEST TO VANCOUVER LAKE.

HE LIVED NEAR RICHFIELD.

HE WAS WITH THE UMTUCH BAND WHEN THEY CAME TO THE FORT AND LEFT TO BE TO MEET UP WITH THE VOLUNTEERS A FEW MILES FROM HERE.

AND HE WAS ONE OF THOSE INDIANS.

[00:10:04]

HE WAS CHIEF UMTUCH'S NEPHEW AND HIS LIEUTENANT AND BECAME THE SUBSEQUENT CHIEF OF THAT GROUP.

AND HE HAS HIS OWN STORY.

AND THEN THERE WAS CHIEF WATERS, WHO WAS THE THIRD CHIEF.

AND CHIEF WATERS TOLD US MUCH IN HIS STORIES, AND HE GAVE US A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION.

SO WE FOUND IT ENJOYABLE TO READ.

WE FOUND IT INTERESTING.

WE FOUND IT ANSWERED A LOT OF OLD STORIES.

AND IT TOLD US SOMETHING TOO, THAT ALTHOUGH OUR COMMUNITY IS NAMED BATTLE AND YOUR YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS NAMED BATTLE.

IT WAS REALLY A MOMENT OF PEACE.

A TIME OF PEACE IN IN IN A WAR.

AND THE PEOPLE THERE WERE KIND OF EXTRAORDINARY, THE INDIAN SIDE AND THE WHITE SIDE WITH JUDGE STRONG, THE JUSTICE ON TWO SUPREME COURTS OF OREGON AND WASHINGTON.

ROBERT NEWELL WAS THERE.

WHO WITH HAD HE AND HIS PARTNER MIEKE, HAD BROUGHT THE FIRST WAGONS ACROSS THE BLUES AND OPENED UP THE END OF THE OREGON TRAIL.

AND WHAT WOULD YOU HOW WOULD YOU GUESS THAT THESE PEOPLE MIGHT BE THERE AT THAT TIME? ANYWAY, I THOUGHT IT AND WE THOUGHT IT IMPORTANT THAT THE COMMUNITY GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE LARGER STORY. AND WE'VE GOT SOME BOOKS FOR YOU AND WE'VE GOT SOME BOOKS AND WE HAVE AN INVITATION TO COME TO THE LIBRARY.

YOU KNOW, WE GOT HISTORY.

HISTORY'S MYSTERIES.

NUMBER TWO, AS FAR AS THE BATTLE GROUND STORY GOES, AND IT WILL BE ON EXHIBIT THROUGH NOVEMBER, AND IT'S OPEN WHENEVER THE LIBRARY IS OPEN.

SO EVEN IF THERE'S EVEN IF THERE IS A GROUP THAT'S MEETING IN THE LIBRARY, YOU COULD JUST QUIETLY TIPTOE IN THERE.

DO YOU ALL DO YOU THINK THAT.

YES, ALWAYS WE KNOW WHO KILLED CHIEF UMTUCH AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU.

YOU HAVE TO READ THE BOOK.

I LIKE IT. AND I'M SO THANKFUL DON DIDN'T SPILLED THE BEANS BECAUSE HE USUALLY DOES.

BUT TRULY, WHEN YOU READ THE BOOK AND SEE THE EXHIBIT, THINK OF EVERYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST IF THEY HAD STARTED SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ON THE SIDE OF THE VOLUNTEERS FROM THE FORT BECAME VERY PROMINENT AND THEY ESTABLISHED LAW.

WERE ON THE FIRST SUPREME COURT.

THEY ESTABLISHED SO MANY THINGS.

BUT THE PEOPLE ON THE NATIVE AMERICAN SIDE ALSO DID THAT.

CHIEF WHITE SWAN WENT TO THE SUPREME COURT HAS DONE SAID ESTABLISHED THE RESERVE RIGHTS DOCTRINE, WHICH TO THIS DAY FOR ALL TRIBES, ALL INDIANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE FISHING RIGHTS RETAINED BECAUSE HE WENT TO COURT, HIS HIS WIFE OR HIS BROTHER'S WIFE BECAME THE FIRST FEMALE CHIEF BECAUSE SHE ACCOMPANIED THEM TO WASHINGTON, D.C., AND MADE SUCH AN IMPRESSION. TESTIFYING BEFORE CONGRESS THAT ZACHARY TAYLOR, THE PRESIDENT, MADE HER AN INDIAN CHIEF AND SHE WAS THE FIRST FEMALE ONE.

I'M SURE IT SURPRISED THEM, BUT NEVERTHELESS, SHE WAS ELIZA WATERS, AND ALL OF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST IF THEY'D STARTED SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER.

AND I HAD A THOUGHT THIS AFTERNOON.

I WAS TELLING HIM IN THE CAR THEY BUILT MONUMENTS, IN PARKS TO MASSACRES, CUSTER'S LAST STAND, THE WHITMAN MISSION, OTHERS, EVEN LE GRAND, OREGON, WHERE I STARTED GOING TO COLLEGE AT THE BASE OF MOUNT EMILY, THERE'S A PLAQUE IN THE GROUND WHERE TWO OF THE MEN WHO WERE AT BATTLE GROUND ON THE SOLDIERS SIDE DIED IN AN INDIAN SKIRMISH.

AND THERE WAS A THERE WAS KILLING THERE, SO THEY BUILT A MONUMENT.

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A MONUMENT TO THE PEACE THAT HAPPENED HERE?

[00:15:01]

CHIEF UMTUCH HAD A RANCH AT THE MOUTH OF THE LEWIS RIVER.

HE RAISED CROPS. HE RAISED CATTLE.

THIS WEREN'T A BAND OF SCRAGGLY INDIANS.

THE SETTLERS WERE PROMINENT PEOPLE.

COLUMBIA LANCASTER WAS A FRIEND OF CHIEF UMTUCH.

THEY VISITED BACK AND FORTH.

ULYSSES GRANT, WHEN HE WAS HERE, WAS A FRIEND OF STRONG'S WHO LIVED DOWN THE [INAUDIBLE] SO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU.

TO ME, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT OUR CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOLS, THOSE CHILDREN WHO ARE IN THE YEARS THAT THEY STUDY THE HISTORY OF THIS AREA, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY SEE AND HEAR THE STORY.

AND THAT'S WHY WE WANT THE BOOKS TO BE IN THE LIBRARY AND THE MATERIALS TO BE AVAILABLE.

SO AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOT CHARGING ANYTHING FOR IT OR ANYTHING.

THIS STORY NEEDS TO BE TOLD BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A LOT TO BE PROUD ABOUT.

AND WHEN SOMEBODY COMPLAINS, WHY ARE WE NAMED AFTER A BATTLE? NO, WE'RE NOT.

WE'RE NAMED AFTER A PEACE.

SO WHEN YOU GET YOUR PACKETS AND THEY'RE ALL LABELED AS TO WHO GETS WHAT.

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANYBODY OUT.

OPEN THEM UP RIGHT AWAY AND MAKE SURE THAT THESE PACKETS GET TO THE SCHOOLS AND THE ADMINISTRATORS AND THE BOARD MEMBERS AND EVERYONE.

AND WE ALSO INCLUDED THE TWO STUDENTS ON THE ON THE BOARD AS WELL.

SO JUST GET YOUR WAGON DOWN.

WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY, ON BEHALF OF BATTLE GROUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WE ARE EXTREMELY HONORED, VERY PROUD AND TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THIS KIND DONATION.

THE FASCINATING WORK THAT YOU DID AND I PROMISE YOU THESE WILL BE DISPLAYED PROUDLY IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOL LIBRARIES FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS TO SEE AND READ.

SO THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU, VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

TOTALLY, VERY, VERY APPRECIATIVE.

THANK YOU. NOW YOU CAN HAVE THE REST OF THE STORY.

YEAH. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE BACK YET FROM CATALOGING, BUT THERE WILL BE FOUR COPIES IN THE LOCAL HISTORY COLLECTION AT THE BATTLE GROUND LIBRARY, TOO.

SO OUTSTANDING.

THANK YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] OH, IT'S HARD TO GET THAT.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WORKING BETTER TOGETHER.

THAT'S NICE. I GOT TO TELLING THE STORY OF HOW PEACE WINS.

AS SOON AS I FINISH MY COPY, I'LL PASS IT ON.

I'LL SEND THEM AROUND TO EVERYBODY.

YEA. YEA. YEA.

YEA. I DON'T SEE ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE.

[6. Communications]

BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL HAD OUR HOMECOMING WEEK, AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL, ACTUALLY, PRE-COVID.

AND EVEN, YOU KNOW, THE LAST FEW YEARS, WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAD DANCES, BUT PRE-COVID WE HAD LIKE 500 TICKET SALES ISH FOR EVERY HOMECOMING.

THIS YEAR. WE BROKE RECORDS AND WE SOLD ONE 750 AND MAXED OUT OUR CAPACITY AND OUR GYM, WHICH WAS REALLY EXCITING.

AND WE MADE A LOT OF PROFIT.

WE DIDN'T BUY ENOUGH WATER AND STUFF, THOUGH, SO PEOPLE WERE A LITTLE BIT THIRSTY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PLANNING AHEAD FOR OUR NEXT FEW DANCES BECAUSE PEOPLE SEEM TO BE REALLY EXCITED TO BE COMING BACK AND, YOU KNOW, PARTICIPATING IN THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SO THAT'S VERY EXCITING.

AND ON THAT NOTE, WE ARE TENTATIVELY PLANNING A DANCE FOR WINTER THAT'S CALLED THE CHANCE TO DANCE.

AND IT'S KIND OF A CHANCE TO DANCE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION KIDS IN OUR SCHOOL.

AND WE'RE KIND OF TRYING TO MAKE IT A LESS LIKE OVERSTIMULATING ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEY CAN KIND OF HAVE THAT DANCE OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT HAVING, YOU KNOW, THE REALLY, REALLY LOUD MUSIC, THE REALLY, REALLY BRIGHT LIGHTS, LIKE THE STROBE LIGHTS.

AND LET'S SEE, WE'RE PLANNING FOR IT TO BE ON DECEMBER 16TH WITH THE WINTER WONDERLAND THEME.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE DURING THE SCHOOL DAY TO ELIMINATE ANY PROBLEMS WITH TRANSPORTATION.

IT'S GOING TO BE TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE.

AND OUR ISP IS CURRENTLY PLANNING THAT RIGHT NOW.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING EXCITING THAT'S HAPPENING.

AND YEAH, I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT.

BUT JUST A FEW EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU SORA. OKAY.

NEXT UP IN OUR BOARD COMMUNICATIONS IS OUR COMMITTEE REPORT, LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE.

[00:20:04]

I'VE TALKED WITH LOGAN ANDRUS, AND THAT WSSDA.

AND HE BASICALLY SAID, WE'RE DONE WITH THAT UNTIL LEGISLATORS STARTS WORKING AND WE ALL HAVE A JOB, JOB THEN.

BUT AS FAR AS THE POSITIONS, WE DON'T HAVE A FEEDBACK FROM WSSDA YET WHAT THEIR FINAL ONES ARE AS THEY GATHER ALL THE STATE'S DISTRICTS INFORMATION.

BUT SO OUR PART'S DONE AND I FEEL GOOD THAT WE GOT THAT DONE.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT WITH THAT.

YEAH, THEY USUALLY REVEAL THEIR TOP 3 TO 5 AT THE CONFERENCE.

YEAH. RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

NEXT UP, AUDIT COMMITTEE.

DIRECTOR SNITILY. WE MET ON THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, MET ON OCTOBER 4TH, AND WE REVIEWED PAYROLL VOUCHERS, SUPERINTENDENT'S TIMESHEET AND SUPERINTENDENTS BUDGET AND THE BOARD BUDGET, AND EVERYTHING WAS IN ORDER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BATTLE GROUND EDUCATION FOUNDATION DIRECTOR MADDUX IS NOT HERE.

I KNOW WE JUST FINISHED UP THE ACTION ON THAT.

THEY DID REALLY WELL, SO I'M SURE THEY'RE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.

ANOTHER COMMUNITY PARTNER THAT WE REALLY APPRECIATE, AND THEY WERE HERE AT THE LAST MEETING.

THEY WERE, YES.

WIAA, DIRECTOR CHAMPAGNE.

YES, WE WE DID HAVE A MEETING HERE LAST WEEK, AND MOST OF IT WAS JUST A STANDARD FINANCIALS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID COME OVER IS THE THE POSTSEASON BRACKETS ARE NOW UP.

OBVIOUSLY NOT. THE TEAMS ARE POPULATED IN THERE, BUT YOU CAN GO IN THERE AND SEE WHAT SEED IS GOING WHERE.

AND THEN WITH THAT HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF THREE WEEKS, WE'LL HAVE THE SEEDING COMMITTEES FILLED AND START LOOKING AND PLACING TEAMS WHERE THEY GO FOR THOSE POSTSEASON TOURNAMENTS. AND THERE'S SOME NEW RATES, THE TOURNAMENTS $10 AND $7 FOR FOOTBALL, SOCCER, WHICH IS AN INCREASE IN TICKET PRICES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

SO THAT'S NEW.

THIS DISTRICT FOUR WEBSITE WAS LIVE TONS OF BUGS.

SO THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT AGAIN.

SO THAT SHOULD BE FIXED UP HERE SHORTLY.

AND LASTLY, WE HAD NICK HOFFMAN IN ATTENDANCE.

HE'S THE PRESIDENT OF WIAA AND HE COVERED A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS AND A BIG ONE.

THERE'S GOING TO BE PROBABLY SOME ADDITIONAL COACHES TRAINING REQUIREMENTS COMING UP AND JUST TO HELP.

WITH SOME PERSONNEL AND MAKE SURE THESE COACHES GOT EVERYTHING THEY NEED.

THEY STRUGGLE WITH THAT THIS YEAR.

SO YEAH, THAT'S ABOUT IT.

NEXT MEETING IS NOVEMBER 17TH.

THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS OUR WASHINGTON STATE SCHOOL DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION UPDATES.

OF COURSE, AT THE END OF THE MEETING, WE'LL TALK ABOUT OUR SESSIONS WE'RE GOING TO ATTEND.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER CONTACTS? JUST I HOPE EVERYONE VOTED FOR WSSDA OFFICERS AND REPRESENTATIVES.

I HEARD THAT OVERALL ACROSS THE STATE, ONLY 500 DIRECTORS VOTED.

SO. WOW. GOT TO GET MORE PEOPLE RIGHT.

THAT HAPPENS WITH A LOT OF OUR FRIENDS AND OTHER DISTRICTS.

YEAH. YEAH. I DID HAVE MY MEETING WITH THE TRUST LANDS ADVISORY GROUP AGAIN, WHO WERE DOING THE SAME THING, HONING THEIR LEGISLATIVE MESSAGE.

AND AS WE HEARD FROM MR. JOLMA, THE STATE SHARE OF FUNDING FACILITIES HAS CONTINUED TO GET SMALLER AND SMALLER AND SMALLER.

AND SO THIS POSITION IS REALLY AROUND HOW CAN WE TURN THAT SHIP AROUND RATHER THAN MAKING IT A SHRINKING QUANTITY, BUT AN INCREASING ONE? THAT'S NOT GOING TO NECESSARILY BE EASY, BUT IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN AT THE LEGISLATIVE LEVEL.

SO I'LL GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR FINAL STATEMENT.

AND LAST FOR DIRECTOR REPORTS IS OUR TOUR COMMITTEE.

AND EVERYBODY WENT TO BATTLEGROUND EXCEPT ME.

SO I'M EXCITED TO HEAR WHAT YOU FOUND.

YOU MISSED OUT, MAN. I KNOW.

IT WAS. IT WAS GOOD.

THE BREAKFAST WAS OUTSTANDING.

THIS WORLD. IT WAS.

IT WAS GOOD. IT WAS HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.

AND SO HAVE YOU HAD THAT? CARNEY NO, IT WAS.

CARNEY NO, IT WAS THE PORK.

THE PORK WITH THE CARNITAS.

CARNITAS, CARNITAS.

IT WAS DELICIOUS. YEAH, IT WAS FANTASTIC.

THE HOT CHOCOLATE. OH, MY GOSH.

WE GOT TO POACH OUR OWN OUR OWN EGGS.

WE LEARNED HOW TO POACH EGGS.

SOME PEOPLE LEARNED I TRIED ON SATURDAY AT MY HOUSE, AND I'M GOING TO NEED A PRIVATE TUTORING SESSION.

[00:25:02]

AND THEN THEY SPLIT US UP INTO THREE GROUPS, AND ALL THREE GROUPS GOT TO GO INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT CLASSROOMS. AND OVERALL, I MEAN, I CAN COMMENT FROM MY SIDE, JUST A LOT OF GOOD STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND TEACHERS WITH DYNAMIC LESSON PLANS AND KIDS THAT WERE ENGAGED AND EVERYTHING LOOKED REALLY GOOD FOR MY WE WHEN WE OUR GROUP, WE PRETTY MUCH COVER CLASSES BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD PERIOD.

AND IT WAS FUN FOR ME BECAUSE THE SECOND PERIOD CLASSES, MY KIDS WERE IN SOME OF THOSE.

AND THEN BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THIRDS, THEY WERE IN THERE.

THERE TOO. SO I FELT LIKE I WAS FOLLOWING MY KID AROUND SCHOOL ALL DAY, BUT IT WAS COOL.

AND THEN I GOT STUCK AND MR. IN HIS CLASS, JUST LISTENING TO HIM TALK ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS AND THE GUY JUST SUCKS YOU IN AND YOU JUST CAN'T STOP.

YEAH, ME TOO. IT'S HARD TO GET OUT OF THERE.

YEAH, WE GOT TO GO TO THE AUTO SHOP, WHICH IS REALLY ENLIGHTENING.

I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY'RE THERE.

THEY'RE TAKEN FROM.

FROM THE BASIC FRAME OF A TRUCK, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD A DRAGSTER AND THEY'RE GOING TO RACE IT.

THAT'S THEIR GOAL, IS TO RACE IT THIS YEAR.

SO THAT WAS KIND OF NEAT TO SEE THAT.

I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE ROBUST, ROBUST ASL PROGRAM THEY HAVE AT BATTLE GROUND.

WE VISITED A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT CLASSES.

THE KIDS WERE REALLY ENGAGED IN BIG CLASSES.

THEY WERE WELL ATTENDED.

I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH WITH THAT.

SO NOW VERY WELL TO EVERYTHING ABOVE.

AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE LED BY THE SOME STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES.

AND AGAIN, THAT STUDENT VOICE, I THINK EVEN ON OUR TOURS, IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

IT'S FUN TO LISTEN TO WHAT THEIR CHALLENGES ARE.

AND SO WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION.

I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONE CLASS THAT THE FORENSIC SCIENCE CLASS WHERE ALL THE STUDENTS HAD BUILT DIORAMAS OF A CRIME SCENE, SO THEY HAD TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CRIME WAS.

IT WAS. AND THEN THEY HAD TO MAKE THE SCENE WITH EVIDENCE.

AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW THAT CAME OUT, BECAUSE I THINK WHAT HAPPENS THEN IS THE STUDENTS HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL THESE CRIME SCENES AND DETERMINE WHO COMMITTED THE CRIME AND SO ON.

IT WAS VERY INVOLVED AND THEY HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH IT.

SOME OF THEM WERE, I MEAN, JUST OVER THE TOP AND MAKING THESE LITTLE TINY, LIKE EVEN PAINT CANS OUT OF A PIECE OF PAPER AND MAKING THEM LOOK, I HAD I HAD THE HONOR OF GOING INTO THAT CLASSROOM PRIOR TO OUR TOUR.

IT WAS ONE OF MY WHEN I SENT OUT MY ASK TO BE INVITED, THAT WAS THE CLASS THAT INVITED ME.

AND I WENT IN AND AND AND TO YOUR POINT, EVEN THE THE, THE PEOPLE AND THE THEN WERE TO SCALE.

YES. I MEAN, THEY HAD THEY HAD TO DO SOME MATH TO TO COORDINATE TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THE ROOM WAS THIS SIZE AND BUT IT WAS REALLY THIS SIZE AND THE PEOPLE WERE, YOU KNOW, FIVE FOOT SIX.

BUT IN THIS SCALE, WHAT WOULD THEY LOOK LIKE? AND SO TO MARY'S POINT, VERY, VERY, VERY PRECISE AND VERY INTERESTING.

YEAH, IT WAS DEFINITELY VERY INTERESTING BEING AT BATTLE GROUND AS KIND OF A SPECTATOR RATHER THAN BEING IN THE SCHOOL ALL DAY.

SO GOING TO THE AUTO SHOP WAS ACTUALLY CRAZY FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER STEPPED FOOT IN THAT CLASSROOM.

BUT THERE WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, AN ENGINE JUST ON THE TABLE OR ON THE I DON'T KNOW, IT WAS A IT WAS A BIG ROOM.

IT KIND OF SHOCKED ME WALKING IN.

I WAS LIKE, WOW, WE HAVE THIS HERE.

BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT YOU COULD JUST KIND OF SEE THE TRUCKS PARKED THERE.

I WAS A LITTLE I WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT IT.

BUT YEAH, IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING GOING INTO THE ASL CLASSROOMS TOO.

I'VE NEVER TAKEN ASL, BUT I HONESTLY WANT TO BECAUSE THEY WERE PLAYING THOSE GAMES, THEY WERE REALLY IMMERSIVE.

EVERYONE WAS GETTING VERY HYPED UP ABOUT IT.

IT WAS IT WAS KIND OF LOUD FOR BEING AN ASL CLASSROOM, BUT YEAH, IT WAS VERY FUN.

IT WAS REALLY NICE.

IT WAS ONE OF THE NICE THINGS ABOUT THE TOUR.

I WANT TO COMPLIMENT THE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM FOR PUTTING IT TOGETHER, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I APPRECIATED ABOUT THE TOUR WERE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT THEY DID HAVE INVOLVED. I MEAN, I THINK EACH GROUP, EACH OF OUR GROUPS HAD FIVE OR SO STUDENTS PARTICIPATING WITH US AND WE GOT TO ASK QUESTIONS AS WE WERE WALKING AND GOT TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THEM.

AND THEY MANY OF THEM, THE GROUP THAT WE HAD ECHOED THE SAME THOUGHTS THAT ZORA DID ABOUT, WOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN IT FROM THIS SIDE.

I'VE NEVER BEEN INTO THIS PART OF THE SCHOOL OR THIS, THIS CLASSROOM.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE TAUGHT THIS.

SO THAT WAS VERY IT WAS VERY, VERY, VERY INTERESTING AND APPRECIATED.

LIKE ROB, I REALLY APPRECIATED THE ASL CLASS.

I JUST WANTED TO TAKE IT WAS THE ENGAGEMENT WAS THROUGH THE ROOF.

I ALSO HAD A REALLY NICE APPRECIATION WHEN WE TALKED WITH THE GRADUATION SUCCESS COACHES AND THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING TO HELP OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO

[00:30:07]

THOSE RELATIONSHIPS ARE OBVIOUSLY PAYING OFF TENFOLD.

AND SO IT WAS NICE TO HEAR THEM SAY WHAT KIND OF A SYSTEM THEY USE IN ORDER TO TRACK AND HELP STUDENTS MOVE FORWARD IN THEIR PROGRESS TOWARDS GRADUATION.

SO APPRECIATIVE CERTAINLY OF THEIR WORK AS WELL.

WELL, NOT TO THROW YOU A CURVE BALL, BUT SINCE I WASN'T THERE, BUT I USED TO HAVE A ROOM THAT I WAS IN FOR A WHILE THERE.

THAT WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WE DECIDED TO DO A REMODEL INSTEAD OF A REBUILD AT BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL.

HOW IS THAT REMODEL HOLDING UP, DO YOU THINK? SINCE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT DOING THAT, MAYBE TO OTHER SCHOOLS.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THE THE REMODEL WAS GOOD AND BAD.

I MEAN, IT CERTAINLY HAS CREATED A CAMPUS THAT HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT QUIRKS ABOUT IT AND SOME SAFETY CONCERNS AROUND IT.

BUT AT THE TIME IT MET THE NEED RATHER THAN TEARING DOWN THE ENTIRETY OF THE BUILDING.

BASICALLY, IT BATTLE GROUND WAS A SEPARATE BUILDING.

THEY JUST PUT A BIG ROOF OVER THE TOP OF IT AND THEN BUILT THE GYMNASIUM, THE FIELDHOUSE, BECAUSE THE GYM USED TO BE WHERE THE CAFETERIA IS MORE INTERNAL HALLWAYS.

RIGHT. A LOT OF A LOT MORE INTERNAL HALLWAYS.

AGAIN, THROWING A ROOF ON TOP.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S GOOD AND THERE'S BAD ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

WHEN WAS THAT DONE? 1994. YEAH.

AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE THE STATE MATCHING STATE FUNDS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE AFTER 30 YEARS.

SO THOSE STATE FUNDS, BATTLE GROUND WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR STATE FUNDS IN 2024.

YEAH. AS WE WERE TOURING, ROB AND I TALKED ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE'RE BOTH BATTLE GROUND GRADUATES AND IT INTERESTING BECAUSE ONE OF THE CORNERS THAT WE WERE AT IS WHERE THE OFFICE USED TO SIT, BUT NOW THOSE ARE SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES AND WHERE THE LIBRARY IS THE MAIN HALLWAY THAT WAS ALL OPEN.

PRIOR TO THAT, THE THE RAMPS THAT GO DOWN TO SOME OF OUR CTE CLASSES AND WHERE WE HAD FOODS THAT USED TO BE THE CAFETERIA OFF TO THE SIDE, OFF TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT HALLWAY WAS THE CAFETERIA.

SO IT'S FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF HAVING LIVED IN IT, IT LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

BUT SOME OF THE CLASSROOMS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME.

THE BUSINESS CLASSES THEY HAD ACCOUNTING IN THERE, AND THEY DO NOT LOOK DIFFERENT WHATSOEVER.

SO IT IS INTERESTING TO TO STEP INTO THOSE SPACES.

AND OVERALL, IT FEELS VERY DIFFERENT.

BUT IN MANY WAYS THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE EXACTLY THE SAME 30 PLUS YEARS LATER.

SO I DO HAVE TO NOTE THAT LIKE THAT, THE UNIQUE LAYOUT OF OUR SCHOOL KIND OF CREATES SOME COMPLICATIONS, TOO, BECAUSE I THINK I MENTIONED BEFORE THE ENTRYWAYS IN EVERY SINGLE HALLWAY. WE ARE ALL SO USED TO USING THOSE EVERY SINGLE MORNING TO GET TO OUR CLASSES ON TIME AND FOR SECURITY REASONS THAT ARE VERY UNDERSTANDABLE AND VERY NECESSARY, LIKE WE'VE CLOSED OFF SOME OF THEM AND SO THEY'RE NOT ACCESSIBLE IN THE MORNINGS.

BUT THERE'S CERTAIN ONE NEXT TO MY AP US HISTORY CLASSROOM.

I ENTERED IT EVERY SINGLE MORNING, BUT NOW IT'S A BLOCKED OFF FOR SECURITY REASONS AND IT'S LIKE WE HAVE TO TAKE THE LONG ROUTE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SCHOOL NOW AND EVERYONE'S COMPLAINING, WHICH, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ONLY COMPLAINING BECAUSE IT TAKES TWO EXTRA MINUTES TO GET THERE.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE BETWEEN CLASSES, YOU'RE GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOMEONE OUTSIDE.

SO IT'S KIND OF JUST LIKE A SECURITY ISSUE THAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY DOORS AND THEY ARE ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE.

IT'S NOT LIKE A, YOU KNOW, A ONE DOOR SCHOOL WHERE IT'S MONITORED BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE AT ALL TIMES.

SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

AND I'LL GIVE THE DESIGNERS SOME GRACE BECAUSE IN 1994, THAT WASN'T AS BIG A CONCERN AS IT IS TODAY SADLY SO.

BUT CERTAINLY IT'S A REALITY.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK.

DIRECTOR REPORTS.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY? I LIVE AND BREATHE FOOTBALL RIGHT NOW, SO I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING BEYOND THAT.

I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THANKS TO ALL THE PARENTS THAT ARE GOING TO COME IN FOR PARENT CONFERENCES.

YES. STOLE MY THUNDER.

YEAH. OH, DID I? OKAY, GOOD.

IT'S OKAY FOR ME AND THE TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE SUCH UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP BUILD THOSE PARTNERSHIPS IN THERE AND MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, THE PARENTS AND TEACHERS DON'T GET ENOUGH TIME TO TALK AND TO HAVE A FORMAL PROCESS

[00:35:03]

THANK YOU TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT THIS WEEK.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR WORK.

[7. Superintendent and Staff Updates]

YEAH. THANK YOU. JUST REAL QUICK FOR ME.

FIRST OFF, I WANTED TO THANK ALL OF OUR STAFF FOR LAST WEEK.

WE HAD, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE WILDFIRES GOING AND WE HAD EVACUATION ZONES AND WE HAD SMOKE AND ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT MADE LIFE A LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING, A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT FOR STAFF.

ALL OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WERE CANCELED.

WE HAD TO REARRANGE SOME FIELD TRIPS, WHICH WAS SAD BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WERE TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH FOR OUR KINDERGARTNERS.

WE HAD TO DO INDOOR RECESS, WHICH IS A CERTAINLY DIFFICULT FOR MAKES IT MORE CHALLENGING AND DIFFICULT FOR OUR STAFF WHO HAS TO OFFER THOSE LEVELS OF SUPERVISION.

WE HAD TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AFFECTED BY THE SMOKE, SOME SCHOOLS MORE THAN OTHERS.

I SPECIFICALLY WANT TO THANK THE STAFF AT AMBOY AND YAKULT.

IT WAS CHALLENGING UP NORTH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE BLACK HOLE WILDFIRE AND THEY WERE CLOSE TO THE EVACUATION ZONES.

I WANT TO THANK OUR STAFFS AT SOME OF OUR OLDER SCHOOLS THAT HAVE OUTDOOR DOOR ENTRY POINTS LIKE LAUREN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND PLEASANT VALLEY, BOTH PRIMARY AND MIDDLE GLENWOOD PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL.

IT WAS WE WERE ABLE KEVIN AND HIS CREW DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

WE CHANGE THE AIR INTAKE AT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS TO TRY TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF OUTSIDE AIR WE WERE TAKING INTO OUR BUILDINGS.

BUT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN DO AND SOME OF OUR OLDER DESIGN SCHOOLS.

SO AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR STICKING WITH IT AND FOR TRUSTING US AND FOR ALLOWING LEARNING TO GO ON UNDER CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

AND THEN SECONDLY, I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT I APPRECIATE JACKIE AND MARY ATTENDING OUR FIRST CAC MEETING.

WE HAD AN OUTSTANDING MEETING.

WE HAVE TEN NEW MEMBERS THAT ARE PART OF THE CAC TEAM, SO THAT WAS EXCITING TO MEET THEM AND EVERYBODY WAS WE HAD A GREAT TURNOUT AND WE HAD ALISON TUCHARDT, DAVE CRESAP AND AMY FREDERICKS FROM OUR CURRICULUM DEPARTMENT COME AND TALK TO US ABOUT AND EDUCATE THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS ABOUT THE CURRICULUM ADOPTION PROCESS AND ALL THAT'S IN THERE.

AND WE GOT SOME OUTSTANDING MAYOR AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT IT.

WE GOT SOME OUTSTANDING FEEDBACK FROM OUR PARENTS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THEIR QUESTIONS ARE IN THE PROCESS AND HOW WE MIGHT DO A BETTER JOB OF INVOLVING PARENTS AND THEN EVEN BEYOND ONCE THE CURRICULUM IS ADOPTED, WHAT WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT OUR PARENTS, TO HELP US IN A PARTNERSHIP OF OF USING THE CURRICULUM TO HELP EDUCATE THEIR OWN THEIR OWN KIDS.

SO THAT WAS IT WAS A IT WAS A IT WAS A GREAT MEETING.

AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THE YEAR HOLDS.

COULD YOU SCHEDULE THE NEXT ONE YET? YEAH, OUR NEXT ONE IS NOVEMBER.

THIS NOVEMBER 10TH? YES. THANK YOU, SHELLY.

OKAY. NEXT UP IS OUR TEACHING AND LEARNING REPORT.

JUST A FEW THINGS FOR YOU THIS EVENING.

BOARD WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S GOING ON IN.

WELL, FIRST OFF, WITH CONFERENCES, WE'VE BEEN DOING SOME WORK AROUND STUDENT LEARNING PLANS.

THE TEACHING AND LEARNING TEAM HAS HELPED SUPPORT THE DATA, GETTING THE DATA READY AND PROVIDING SOME OF THAT INFORMATION TO GO OUT TO PARENTS SPECIFICALLY AROUND STATE TESTING AND THE RESULTS FROM LAST SPRING AND SHARING THAT WITH PARENTS.

THE REPORTS FROM THE STATE HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED.

SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME LEARNING A LEARNING CURVE THERE.

BUT I DO THINK THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE DIGESTIBLE THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST.

SO THAT'S A NEW IMPROVEMENT.

CERTAINLY CONTINUING TO WORK ON A VARIETY OF ASPECTS OF TEACHING AND LEARNING.

WE'RE WORKING ON SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANS AND THOSE ARE DUE THIS NEXT WEEK FOR OUR BUILDING FROM OUR BUILDINGS.

SO THEY'RE WORKING DILIGENTLY ON THAT, WE APPRECIATE THAT WORK.

WE'VE SEEN A HUGE UPTICK IN EL POPULATIONS IN OUR SCHOOLS AND SO OUR TEAM'S BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD ON RESOURCES TO HELP SUPPORT CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION, AS WELL AS HIRING ADDITIONAL STAFF TO SUPPORT THOSE ENDEAVORS.

[00:40:01]

YOU'RE USING THAT TERM, EL, JUST SO THAT EVERYBODY WHO MAY BE LISTENING IN.

ENGLISH LEARNERS.

SO YEAH, AND WE ALSO HAVE NEXT WEEK WE END OUR FIRST CYCLE OF THE PLC PROCESS.

AND SO WE HAVE A WAIVER DAY NEXT WEDNESDAY.

SO STUDENTS WILL NOT BE IN ATTENDANCE, BUT OUR STAFF WILL BE WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY ON SELECTING A NEW ESSENTIAL STANDARD AND DOING WORK AROUND THE PLC PROCESS. WE WILL ALSO BE ASKING FOR FEEDBACK ON THE SUCCESSES FROM THE FIRST CYCLE OF THE YEAR SO THAT WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH YOU AT OUR BOARD WORK SESSION ON NOVEMBER 28TH.

SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SHARE WHAT WHAT'S REALLY WORKING WELL WITH THOSE TEAMS AND, AND ADD ON TO THAT IN THE FUTURE.

ALSO, JUST WANTED TO DO A SHOUT OUT.

I GAVE YOU SOME HANDOUTS FROM LAST WEEK.

WE HAD A PRESENTATION BY THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AROUND FENTANYL AND HOW THAT'S IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITY.

WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE AND I JUST GAVE YOU SOME HANDOUTS FROM THAT EVENT.

IT WAS WONDERFULLY ATTENDED.

WE DID HAVE OUR TWO OF OUR PREVENTION INTERVENTION STAFF, KERRI KOEHLER, WHO WORKS AT BOTH PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL AND AT CHIEF, AS WELL AS SHELLY HINKLE, WHO WORKS AT BOTH PLEASANT VALLEY CAMPUS AND LAUREN CAMP, LAUREN AS WELL, AND OUR DREAM TEAM.

SO OUR DREAM TEAM FROM CHIEF MIDDLE SCHOOL THERE, ADVISOR BLAKE BOWER WERE THERE AND THEY SPONSORED THIS EVENT AS WELL AS WE HAD SOME COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS.

JESSICA WAS THERE.

JENNIFER KIRBY FROM PREVENT COALITION WAS THERE.

SO LOTS OF GOOD RESOURCES THAT WERE HANDED OUT AT THAT EVENT.

I WOULD DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FRONT SHEET THAT I GAVE YOU.

THERE IS THIS PROBABLY A REALLY ENGAGING VIDEO THAT YOU CAN WATCH CALLED DEAD ON ARRIVAL, AND IT REALLY SHARES WHAT'S HAPPENING.

IT'S ABOUT 20 MINUTES, 22 MINUTES LONG.

IT'S JUST A GREAT GUIDE FOR EDUCATORS AND FOR PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE TRENDS IN FENTANYL USE AND WHY IT IS SO DANGEROUS FOR OUR YOUTH.

IT'S INTERESTING TO HEAR SOME OF THE STATISTICS ABOUT THE RISE IN USE AND THE USAGE HAS GONE WAY UP FOR PEOPLE 23 AND UNDER. BUT INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, IT IT'S ALSO GONE UP FOR 75 TO 85 YEAR OLDS.

A LOT OF THAT HAVING TO DO WITH INJURIES AND PAIN AND THE EXPENSE OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION AS COMPARED TO THE PRICE OF FENTANYL OFF THE STREET.

SO SOME CRAZY TRENDS THAT I THINK ARE IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW AND TO GET OUT THERE.

I ALSO WANTED TO APPLAUD THE BOARD BECAUSE YOU MADE THAT DECISION WHEN KATHY SHANNON WAS HERE EARLIER THIS FALL TO MOVE TOWARDS HAVING NARCAN, THE MEDICATION THAT CAN REVERSE OPIOID USE IN ALL SCHOOLS, NOT JUST HIGH SCHOOL, WHICH IS REQUIRED BY LAW, BUT IN K THROUGH 12.

AND THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT CAME UP FROM OUR COMMUNITY IS WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE IS THAT BEING PLACED IN SCHOOLS.

IS IT ANYWHERE BESIDES HIGH SCHOOL? IS IT IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS? AND IT WAS NICE TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT OUR BOARD MADE THE DECISION THAT WE WOULD WANT IT IN ALL SCHOOLS.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE DON'T HAVE IT IN OUR PRIMARY SCHOOLS YET.

IT'S ON BACKORDER.

YOU CAN IMAGINE EVERYBODY'S CLAMORING TO GET WHAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT OF HAVING IT IN HIGH SCHOOL.

SO WE ARE WORKING ON THAT.

AND CATHY'S GOT AN ORDER IN AND IS TRYING TO GET MORE.

ALSO WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IF ANY OF YOU ARE INTERESTED, TOMORROW NIGHT THERE IS A TRAINING HAPPENING AT BATTLE GROUND CITY HALL AND IT'S OVER ZOOM AS WELL.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, I'LL GET YOU THE LINK FROM 630 TO 730.

THEY'RE DOING A TRAINING ON WHAT? HOW YOU RESPOND, IF YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO APPEARS TO HAVE AN OPIOID OVERDOSE.

THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT AN OPIOID OVERDOSE IS IF YOU TREAT SOMEONE, YOU CAN'T HURT THEM.

IT'S NOT LIKE SOMEBODY THAT YOU GIVE AN EPIPEN TO AND YOU COULD CAUSE THEM ISSUES IF THEY AREN'T IF THEY AREN'T HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION, NARCAN WON'T CAUSE ISSUES FOR SOMEONE IF YOU YOU GIVE IT TO THEM WITHOUT THEM BEING IN AN OVERDOSE SITUATION.

SO SOME GOOD INFORMATION.

I WOULD LOVE FOR IT TO BE MORE WIDELY SPREAD FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL OF US.

SO. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE, UNLESS YOU HAVE A QUESTION.

NEXT UP IS HUMAN RESOURCES.

[00:45:02]

SO REINHARDT IS STAYING SILENT TODAY.

AND AFTER THAT IS OUR FINANCE REPORT.

SCOTT. THANK YOU, FORD.

SO JUST A REALLY QUICK UPDATE TO.

WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THE END OF THE YEAR CLOSE FOR THE 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR.

SO HOPEFULLY AT THE END OF NOVEMBER OR THE FIRST PART OF DECEMBER, WE'LL HAVE OUR ANNUAL REPORT TO GIVE YOU ALL THAT INFORMATION AND WHERE WE'RE SITTING.

AND THEN ALSO THE CONTRACT INFORMATION REPORT WILL BE ON THE NEXT BOARD MEETING REPORT.

IT WAS NOT ON THIS ONE, SO JUST LET YOU KNOW THAT'LL GET ON THE NEXT ONE.

I WANTED TO DO AN ENROLLMENT UPDATE AND I'M HOPING THAT YOU CAN SEE THIS.

ALL RIGHT. I WILL TRY AND SPOTLIGHT SOME OF THIS, BUT NEVER MIND.

OKAY. SO ACTUALLY, WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND I'LL JUST SAY SO.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO DO WAS I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP OUR PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS.

I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS IMPORTANT.

YOU SEE IT ON GRAPHS, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN REPORTING IT BECAUSE WE HAVE THOSE THAT DATA.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THIS JUST KIND OF LINED UP SO YOU CAN SEE THAT BY SCHOOL.

SO THIS IS A GOOD RESOURCE INFORMATION IF YOU JUST KIND OF WANT TO REFER BACK TO IT AT SOME TIME.

BUT OVERALL, I JUST WANTED TO GO OVER THE NUMBERS.

SO FIRST OF ALL, FROM OUR BUDGET, AS OF OUR OCTOBER COUNT, NOW WE ARE UP 534 FTE, AND THAT'S FULL TIME AND EQUIVALENT OVER OUR BUDGET, WHICH IS ABOUT 4.7%.

AND WE INCREASED FROM SEPTEMBER 125 TOTAL FTE.

SO THAT'S A BIG JUMP.

THAT'S KIND OF UNUSUAL TO SEE THAT KIND OF JUMP THERE.

SO AND THEN JUST A REMINDER THAT FROM OUR MARCH 2020 PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS OF 12,430, SO WE'RE STILL SHORT 472 FROM PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC.

SO I JUST REALLY WANTED TO KIND OF LET YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS THERE.

AND THEN I WANTED YOU TO NOTE THAT THE HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT IS UP IN THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS.

IT IS DOWN IN OUR AND OUR ALE OR SUMMIT VIEW AND RUNNING START.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THEY'VE SHIFTED OVER INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS.

SO THAT'S REALLY GREAT INFORMATION THERE AND THEN JUST SHOWING OUR PRIMARY MIDDLE SCHOOL IS STILL DOWN FROM PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS THERE SO AND YEAH MICHELLE THE BATTLEGROUND HIGH SCHOOL AND PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL THEY'RE UP FROM THEIR PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS.

PRE-PANDEMIC 119 IN BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL AND PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL 135 FROM PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS.

YEAH SO YEAH SO REAL INTERESTING PUTTING THIS TOGETHER WAS KIND OF IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE FROM PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC.

AND THEN HERE WE HAVE JUST A HEAD COUNT.

WE HAD 144 INCREASE FROM THE SEPTEMBER COUNT, AND THAT INCLUDES OUR ALE.

AND THEN ALSO OUR FTE WAS 125, AS WE SAID, AND THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE ALE ACCOUNTS.

AND THEN ALE ACCOUNTED FOR 57 OF THE 125 THAT WE WENT UP IN FTE.

AND THEN THIS IS INTERESTING TOO, OUR CTE HAS GROWN QUITE A BIT.

AND WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING WHEN YOU COMPARE THE NUMBER OF FTE OF CTE TO THE NUMBER OF FTE FOR THE BATTLE GROUND HIGH SCHOOL AND PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL AND JUST THOSE STUDENTS THERE, 31.2% ARE TAKING CTE CLASSES.

SO THE WAY THAT THE FUNDING WORKS IS THAT WE BRING IN THAT FUNDING, BUT 31.2% OF THAT, IT'S GOING RIGHT OVER TO OUR CTE FOR THAT PROGRAM.

THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, CTE IS JUST IT'S IT'S FLAT AT 65.21.

AND THEN OUR SPECIAL ENROLLMENT AND THIS IS PRETTY USUAL TO HAVE A CLIMB AS THEY'RE IDENTIFYING NEW STUDENTS AND NEW STUDENTS ARE BEING SERVED BY THAT PROGRAM. AND THEN HERE IS THE THE REAL INTERESTING IS THE TRANSITIONAL BILINGUAL PROGRAM.

AND LYNELLE MURRAY IS HERE WITH US TODAY.

SO THAT'S HER PROGRAM OVER THERE.

AND SO NEWCOMER INCREASE IS THREE TIMES THE NORM, WHICH INCLUDES A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF UKRAINIAN REFUGEES FLEEING THE WAR IN

[00:50:06]

WE WENT FROM 62 LANGUAGES TO 71 LANGUAGES HERE.

AND THE GREAT THING ABOUT HAVING FUND BALANCE AND THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT REASON TO HAVE FUND BALANCE IS BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY PAID ON BUDGET THROUGH THE THROUGH JANUARY.

AND THEN THEY TRUE US UP.

SO THAT MONEY IS JUST ON BUDGET SO THAT THOSE EXTRA STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE AND ALL THE TEACHERS WE'VE HIRED AND SUPPORT STAFF WE'VE HIRED AND INCLUDING BILINGUAL, WE HAVE ONE NEW TEACHER, WE HAVE THREE SUPPORT SERVICES, INSTRUCTIONAL AIDES THAT HAVE BEEN HIRED.

AND THAT FUND BALANCE WILL HELP US TO SERVE THOSE STUDENTS RIGHT AWAY AND NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THAT FUNDING IS TRUED UP.

WE CAN GO AHEAD AND ISSUE CONTRACTS.

WE CAN GO AHEAD AND AND PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES.

SO THAT'S A THAT'S A REALLY GOOD THING FOR THE FUND BALANCE TO HAVE AVAILABLE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PROGRAM AT ALL? NO. OKAY.

I DO I DO HAVE A QUESTION, AND IT'S KIND OF ON THE OVERALL.

SO WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE KIND OF REBOUND OF THE NUMBERS.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO KNOW ARE THOSE STUDENTS WHO WERE IN THE SYSTEM BEFORE LEFT AND ARE COMING BACK OR ACTUALLY NEW TO THE DISTRICT? IS THAT A HARD DATA POINT TO FIGURE OUT.

THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

AND WE WILL.

I DON'T THINK IT'S HARD TO FIGURE OUT.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S JUST A MATTER OF BEING ABLE TO PULL THE PULL THE REPORTS.

YEAH. DO THE DATA MINING SO THAT WE COULD LOOK AT THAT TO SEE BECAUSE WE HAVE ENTRY KNOW, ENTRY AND EXIT INFORMATION.

SO WE CAN, WE CAN DO SOME SORTING AND I'M SURE THAT WE COULD GET THAT INFORMATION.

THAT'S IT IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD LOOK INTO.

YEAH. IS IT, SHOULD WE BE PREPARING FOR GROWTH.

RIGHT. RIGHT.

OR ARE WE JUST RECOVERING WHO WAS HERE BEFORE.

RIGHT. RIGHT. GOOD POINT.

YEAH, GOOD. I'LL LOOK INTO THAT.

YEAH, SHELLY, WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT.

I WROTE IT DOWN AND THEN JUST YOU CAN SEE THE RUNNING START IS WAY DOWN.

SO OCTOBER IS OUR FIRST COUNT FOR RUNNING START.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT THE WE JUST DON'T HAVE AS MANY STUDENTS ATTENDING THE RUNNING START PROGRAM THROUGH THE RUNNING START PROGRAM.

AND THEN THE REST OF THE SLIDES ARE JUST THE NUMBERS THAT GO WITH THE WITH THE PREVIOUS SLIDES.

SO THEY JUST SUPPORT THOSE.

SO IT'S JUST SOME INFORMATION ON HEAD COUNT FOR SEPTEMBER FTE FOR SEPTEMBER AND THEN HEAD COUNT FOR OCTOBER AND THEN FTE FOR OCTOBER.

THAT'S ALL I HAD. THANK YOU, MICHELLE.

MICHELLE, WILL YOU YOU'LL MAKE SURE THAT SANDY GETS THESE SO THAT SHE CAN ADD THEM TO BOARD DOCS.

YEAH, BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE ALREADY THERE.

SO. OKAY.

YEAH, THEY'RE IN THE BOARD DOCS OR THEY'LL BE PUBLISHED ON BOARD DOCS.

YES. BECAUSE IT'S SOMETIMES IT'S HARD FOR THE BOARD TO SEE THOSE SLIDES AND SO THEY WANT TO LOOK AT THEM ON THE.

ABSOLUTELY. YES.

THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS KEVIN JOLMA BUT HE JUST GAVE HIS SO KEVIN'S NO LONGER HERE.

AND THEN LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, OUR COMMUNICATIONS REPORT, AMANDA RICHTER.

I WANTED TO SHARE A SNEAK PEEK AT OUR INTERIM REPORT.

HOPEFULLY YOU CAN GET THAT. IT IS WITH OUR PRINTER.

IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE PRESS IN A MATTER OF DAYS AND SHOULD BE HITTING MAILBOXES AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.

SO THAT WILL GO TO ALL HOUSEHOLDS AND BUSINESSES WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

AND HOW NICE THAT LOOKS.

YEAH, THAT'S GREAT. GOT A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION FROM DEMOGRAPHICS TO TEST RESULTS AND SOME GOOD FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

AND I WANTED TO THANK A COUPLE OF PEOPLE FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, INCLUDING RITA SANDERS, CHRIS BROWN, LISA RANDALL, MICHELLE SCOTT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COLLABORATION.

AND A BIG SHOUT OUT TO JENNA BUSHER HILL, WHO DID ALL OF THE LAYOUT AND DESIGN WORK FOR THIS ISSUE AND JUST DID A REALLY FABULOUS JOB OF TRANSLATING ALL THE DATA INTO A READER FRIENDLY FORMAT.

THANKS. IS THAT IT FOR YOU? GREAT. HEY, THAT WAS FAST FOR US.

YEAH. YEAH, WE'RE BEING EFFICIENT.

WE ARE BEING EFFICIENT. AND AS SOON AS I GET THE LIST FOR CITIZENS COMMENTS, WE'LL GET STARTED.

GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO MICHELLE REINHART SINCE SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

[00:55:02]

[8. Citizens' Comments]

SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE ON OUR LIST, EUNICE INGAMONSON AND JESSICA COLE.

EUNICE, YOU WANT TO START US OFF? GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS EUNICE INGRAM.

AND MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE HER.

I'M A RESIDENT OF THE DISTRICT AND I HAVE WORKED AS A TUTOR, A MENTOR, AND A VOLUNTEER WITHIN THE DISTRICT.

TONIGHT, I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS NOT AS A DEFAULT POSITION, BUT AS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO WORK PROACTIVELY TO ACHIEVE.

IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SAY THAT EVERYONE SHOULD GET A FAIR AND EQUAL TREATMENT HERE.

WE NEED TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO PURSUE INCLUSION HERE AT THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF OUR DISTRICTS, YOUTH OF COLOR AND QUEER YOUTH.

IN RECENT PAST, I HAVE HEARD MULTIPLE CASES OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS BEING ROUTINELY CALLED THE N-WORD, RECEIVING HARSHER TREATMENT BY THE POLICE FOR THE SAME OFFENSES THAN THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS TO RECEIVE, BEING OSTRACIZED BY PEERS IN SCHOOL AND BEING LOOKED DOWN ON AND IGNORED BY TEACHERS.

EVEN HALF ASIAN STUDENTS HAVE REPORTED BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.

I ALSO HAVE HEARD OF MULTIPLE LGBTQ YOUTH ATTEMPTING SUICIDE, SOME SUCCEEDING, EXPERIENCING OR WITNESSING VIOLENCE BECAUSE OF LGBTQ BEING MISGENDERED DETAINED BY FACULTY OR STAFF OR OTHER ADULTS IN THE SCHOOL SETTING, OR WERE AT THE VERGE OF HOMELESSNESS BECAUSE IT WASN'T SAFE FOR THEM TO GO HOME TO THEIR HOMOPHOBIC AND TRANSPHOBIC FAMILY.

THIS HAS BEEN THE STATUS QUO OF OUR COMMUNITY AND IT PAINTS A PICTURE.

THE ONLY WAY WE CAN ACHIEVE AN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT WHERE ALL STUDENTS THRIVE IS WORK HARD TO EQUIP STAFF, STUDENTS AND PARENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE, INCLUDING HISTORY AND SCIENCE AND TRAINED STAFF, STUDENTS AND PARENTS TO UNDO DESTRUCTIVE HABITS AND BUILD INCLUSIVE HABITS.

NONE OF THESE THINGS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WOULD DEHUMANIZE A PERSON OF EUROPEAN DESCENT, MAKE HER ENCOURAGE CISGENDER STUDENTS, TRANSGENDER OR TRANS STUDENTS, GAY OR LESBIAN.

BUT I HOPE IT WILL HELP US LEARN TO REACH ACROSS THE AISLE IN HUMILITY, FRIENDSHIP AND GOODWILL AND TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AND TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

LET US COMMIT TO WORK HARD TOWARD THE GOAL OF EVERYONE THRIVING IN BATTLE GROUND.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU EUNICE.

AND JESSICA COLE.

HELLO BOARD. MY NAME IS JESSICA COLE.

MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE HER.

I'M A PARENT THAT HAD KIDS IN THE SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT.

AND I FIRST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, AMANDA.

I SAW THE FENTANYL PRESENTATION ADVERTISING THE BULLETIN LAST WEEK, AND IT WAS A GREAT TURNOUT.

AND THANK YOU FOR SAYING A LOT SO I CAN TALK ABOUT OTHER THINGS.

IT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION.

IT WAS, FIRST OF ALL, VERY ENTERTAINING.

THE OFFICER HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR TO KEEP US ENGAGED AND IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.

ONE THING THAT I LEARNED THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IS THEY SAID OFTEN SOMEONE WILL NEED LIKE THREE DOSES OF NARCAN, WHICH I DID NOT KNOW THAT IF THEY WERE OVERDOSING.

AND WHAT I HEARD OFF THE RECORD FROM SOMEONE AND I'LL JUST KEEP IT AT THAT, IS THAT THEY PRAISED OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT SPECIFICALLY FOR SUCH SUPPORT ON DRUG PREVENTION.

THEY SAID THAT THIS IS THE BEST DISTRICT IN THE COUNTY.

AND THAT WASN'T JUST TO SAY THAT THEY MEANT IT VERY SINCERELY.

AND I KNOW WE HAVE AWESOME DREAM TEAM WITH BLAKE BOWER AND CORY KOHLER'S VERY AMAZING TOO.

AND I GOT TO MEET SHELLEY LAST WEEK AND I KNOW WE HAVE MORE INTERVENTION EMPLOYEES.

I FORGET THEIR TITLE.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT MORE IN OUR DISTRICT AND I KNOW THE PREVENTION, THE PREVENT TOGETHER COALITION WORKS TOGETHER WITH THE DREAM TEAM.

[01:00:09]

YOU COULD SIGN UP AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE SIMILAR TRAINING TO WHAT TED TOOK AT LEAST IN PART.

SO IF YOU SIGN UP, YOU CAN GET THE NARCAN FOR FREE AND THE WHOLE EVENT IS FREE AND IT'S ON ZOOM AND IN-PERSON AT THE CITY HALL.

THIS WEEK IS RED RIBBON WEEK, WHICH IS THE 23RD THROUGH THE 31ST.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DREAM TEAM HAS BEEN DOING FOR A LONG TIME.

SO THEY GO AND THEY PLANT TULIPS THIS WEEK AND IN THE SPRING THEY'LL COME UP RED.

AND I'M GOING TO JUST READ THIS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE IT MEMORIZED.

SO RED RIBBON WEEK IS A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN THAT HELPS BRING AWARENESS TO YOUTH SUBSTANCE USE PREVENTION.

IT'S ALSO A GREAT TIME TO CELEBRATE OUR COMMUNITIES, FOCUS ON YOUTH, AND BE REMINDED OF THE FACT THAT MOST KIDS IN BATTLE GROUND ARE MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES TO LIVE DRUG FREE. AND YOU CAN FIND A MORE ON THE PREVENT TOGETHER WEBSITE.

AND THIS SATURDAY IS THE DRUG TAKEBACK FROM 10 TO 2 AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AND IF ANYONE CAN LEAVE THIS MEETING AT 7 TO 9, NEXT DOOR IS THE US AIR FORCE CONCERT BAND AND SINGING SERGEANTS TO CELEBRATE THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AIR FORCE.

AND I HAVE FAMILY IN THE AIR FORCE, SO I KIND OF HAVE TO LIKE GIVE A SHOUT OUT, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW YOU ALL CAN'T LEAVE.

SO I HAVE ONE OF THESE FOR ALL OF YOU.

OH, HOW NICE. THANK YOU, JESSICA.

BUT. AND THANK YOU FOR ENDURING OUR SILENCE.

THE BOARD DOESN'T TYPICALLY COMMENT ON CITIZENS COMMENTS, BUT WE TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND IT'S NICE TO HAVE A COUPLE OF ENGAGED COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO GO TO THINGS THAT WE CAN'T ALWAYS GET TO AND REPORT ON IT FOR US.

SO THANK YOU, MARK.

[9. Consent Agenda]

I JUST WANTED TO STATE FOR THE BOARD THAT FOUR ITEM F APPROVAL OF THE DONATION FROM YANCOAL AMBOY PTO.

WE HAVE WITH US HERE TODAY KELLY GORBY, PRINCIPAL OF YAKULT.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE.

YEAH. FOR ITEM G APPROVAL OF THE STATE GRANT APPLICATION, THE HIGHLY CAPABLE GRANT, WE HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS, LYNELLE MURRAY, IS IN THE AUDIENCE IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS AROUND THOSE.

AND THEN FOR ITEM H APPROVAL OF THE CARL PERKINS FEDERAL GRANT, WE HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION, CINDY ARNOLD HERE. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS AROUND THOSE.

GREAT. SO IF SORA SAYS IT'S OKAY BECAUSE WE COOKED IT UP TO DO IT AFTERWARDS, MAYBE WE COULD DO BEFORE.

WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FEATURE SOME OF THE CONSENT AGENDA INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC RATHER THAN JUST SAY YAY OR NAY AND THEN MOVE ON.

SO WHICH ONE DID YOU WANT A FEATURE? WELL, THE STATE GRANT APPLICATION FOR THE HIGHLY CAPABLE PROGRAM.

I WAS LOOKING AT THAT AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY INCREDIBLE BECAUSE I WAS IN THE ASPIRE PROGRAM ALL THROUGH MY ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS.

AND THAT'S JUST IT'S GREAT TO SEE THAT IT'S BEING SUPPORTED IN SUCH A MANNER.

SO THAT'S. OH, YEAH.

AND IS THAT ELSE? THAT'S LYNELLE.

TERRI OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY ON THAT? I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE JENNIFER MERRITT, ALTHOUGH.

I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE HARD WORK OF ALL THE ASPIRE CLUSTER TEACHERS, THE MAGNET TEACHERS, AND THEN OUR COORDINATOR, JENNIFER MERRITT, WHO IS ALSO SERVING AS AN INTERIM ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FOR PLEASANT VALLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND SHE'S ALSO MAINTAINING THE PROGRAM.

SO HATS OFF TO THE INCREDIBLE EDUCATORS AND JENNIFER, WHO'S PLAYING DUAL ROLES, AS MANY OF US DO IN OUR INTERNSHIPS.

SO KUDOS TO THAT AND THE PROGRAM AND A GROUP OF ABOUT 16 JUST GOT BACK CLASS YESTERDAY FROM THE WAY TAG CONFERENCE UP IN SEATTLE ON DIFFERENTIATING FOR GIFTED LEARNERS.

SO THEY WERE ALL ABLE TO ATTEND THAT CONFERENCE BECAUSE OF THE GRANT.

THANK YOU. AND I WOULD HOPE THE CITIZENS WOULD WANT TO KNOW THAT THE GRANT TOTAL IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 344,000 THAT COMES THROUGH THAT PROGRAM.

DO WE DO SOME ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATION FROM THE DISTRICT ON THAT? YEAH, I FIGURED WE DO.

YEAH. WHICH I WOULD HOPE IS WELL WORTH IT TO SERVE THAT COMMUNITY.

[01:05:03]

THIS IS ARNOLD. YOU WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT OR ANYTHING ON THE CAR? THE CARL PERKINS IS AN ANNUAL GRANT THAT GETS PUT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AND OFTEN FLIES BY.

BUT I BELIEVE THOSE NUMBERS WE SAW ON THE SCREEN EARLIER, A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT.

YES. THANK YOU.

WE ARE UP A LITTLE BIT IN OUR PERKINS GRANT THIS YEAR.

LAST YEAR WAS ABOUT 67,000.

THE SHIRT WAS 70,000.

AND APPLYING FOR THE GRANT ALLOWS US TO TO APPLY FOR SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING THROUGH PERKINS AND I HAVE READY TO ALSO SUBMIT ABOUT ANOTHER 25,000 MORE FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING.

SO ONCE YOU ONCE YOU HOPEFULLY APPROVED THAT, GREAT.

MISS CORBETT, YOU WANT TO FILL US IN ON THE DONATION, WE CAN READ IT TOO, BUT WE'D LIKE TO HEAR IT PERSONALLY.

OUR PTO RAISED THIS MONEY WORKING WITH KIDS SELLING PIES, I BELIEVE TWO YEARS AGO BEFORE COVID CAME AROUND.

AND SO IT WAS PUT ON THE BACK BURNER.

AND SO WE'RE FINALLY WANTING TO DO THIS AGAIN.

THE KIDS ARE BURNING THEIR LEGS ON THE SLIDE, AND IT'S JUST IT'S JUST TIME.

I THINK IT'S BEEN THERE SINCE THE SIXTIES IS IT NEEDS TO GO SO.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

AND IF I CAN ADD ONE MORE ACTUALLY ITEM I THE APPROVAL OF THE SCHOOL SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS, I ASSUME THAT'S A YEARLY THING.

WE APPROVE THAT EVERY YEAR, BUT IT'S ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE OF WORKING BETTER TOGETHER.

ALL THE PEATOS AND PITAS AND THINGS.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY CAN ANSWER A QUESTION OF WHAT A PIE IS, ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE ACRONYM.

SO RIVER HOMELINK IT'S P I ASSUME THAT'S MAYBE PARENT SOMETHING, BUT PARENT INVOLVEMENT, PARENTS AND EDUCATION.

I BELIEVE PARENTS AND PARENTS IN EDUCATION, IT'S SERVING THE SAME FUNCTION.

BUT YES, A TASTY ACRONYM FOR AND I WANT TO ASSURE THE BOARD THAT MICHELLE AND TOM WENT THROUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MET THE CRITERIA.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE, WE LOOKED AT THEIR BYLAWS, MAKE SURE THEIR BYLAWS WERE IN ORDER.

WE LOOKED AT THEIR CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE, MAKE SURE THAT WAS IN ORDER.

AND THEN WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAD OFFICERS AND THE OFFICERS NAMES WERE PROVIDED.

SO WE COULD ASSURE THAT CONTACT INFORMATION, TRAINING AND ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

SO. HERE YOU GO.

OKAY. THANK YOU.

WE APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL THE PARENTS AT THOSE SCHOOLS.

OKAY. SO CONSENT AGENDA ITEM A IS THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA ITSELF.

ITEM B, APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FROM THE OCTOBER TEN, 2022 REGULAR MEETING.

ITEM C PERSONNEL REPORTS.

ITEM RD, STUDENT TRAVEL ITEM E APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION I OR A NUMBER I 21 CANCELLATION OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS.

ITEM F APPROVAL OF DONATION FROM THE AMBOY PTO.

ITEM G. APPROVAL OF THE STATE GRANT APPLICATION.

AND THAT'S THE ONE WE HEARD ABOUT THE TALENTED AND GIFTED.

AND ITEM H.

APPROVAL OF CARL PERKINS FEDERAL GRANT.

THAT'S THE CTE ONE.

THAT'S A YEARLY ITEM WE DO AND ITEM I APPROVAL OF THE SCHOOL SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS? I MOVED, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED.

IT'S BEEN MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED TO US.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED.

CONSENT AGENDA IS APPROVED.

4 TO 0. THANK YOU.

NO OLD BUSINESS.

[11. New Business]

ITEM A IS REVISION OF POLICY 1400 MEETINGS, PUBLIC NOTICE, QUORUM, MEETING CONDUCT AND ORDER OF BUSINESS AND PUBLIC COMMENT.

SUPERINTENDENT WATERS.

YES. POLICY 1400 AS MARK STATED, THE TITLE MEETINGS, PUBLIC NOTICE, QUORUM MEETING, CONDUCT AND ORDER OF BUSINESS AND PUBLIC COMMENT HAS BEEN REVISED TO ALIGN WITH THE NEW STATE LAWS, SPECIFICALLY OPEN CARRY OF GUNS AND OTHER WEAPONS AT CITY AND COUNCIL MEETINGS, ELECTION SITES AND OFF CAMPUS SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS ARE PROHIBITED.

NEW LANGUAGE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE EXISTING GUN FREE ZONE LAWS SO THAT NO GUNS ARE ALLOWED ON CAMPUS SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS.

THE LAWS HAVE CHANGED WHERE PEOPLE NOW MUST HAVE ACCESS TO SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, EVEN IF THEY CANNOT ATTEND IN PERSON.

PUBLIC ENTITIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO PROVIDE INCREASED PUBLIC ACCESS TO PARTICIPATE IN MEETINGS THROUGH REAR TIME, TELEPHONE, INTERNET OR OTHER READILY AVAILABLE MEANS.

[01:10:06]

THE NEW LAW REQUIRES GOVERNING BODIES TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN AND OUR AGENDAS ARE SET IN A WAY THAT THAT'S ALLOWED. OUR OUR PUBLIC COMMENT IS BEFORE NEW BUSINESS, AND THAT'S WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR ACTION AND THE MEETING'S SUBJECT TO OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS.

ACT UP, MUST HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN ATTEND THE MEETING WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS.

THE FIRST EXCEPTION IS WHEN A LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED, AND THE SECOND IS WHEN THE SCHOOL BOARD DETERMINES IT CANNOT HOLD AN IN-PERSON MEETING.

DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFICS OF THE EMERGENCY, THE SCHOOL BOARD CAN EITHER LIMIT OR FULLY PROHIBIT IN-PERSON PUBLIC ATTENDANCE AT THE MEETING.

AND THE THE COVID SITUATION WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE THE GOVERNOR ISSUES A PROCLAMATION, AND FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME WE WEREN'T ABLE TO HOLD THOSE PUBLIC MEETINGS.

SO IT'S JUST BEEN REVISED AND AND TO ALIGN WITH THESE CHANGES, YOU CAN SEE THE POLICY AND THE PROCEDURE HAS BEEN INCLUDED FOR A YEAR PURVIEW.

TAKE QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.

YES.

IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS.

ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CHANGES TO POLICY.

1400. I'LL MOVE.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE REVISION OF POLICY FOR 100 MEETINGS, PUBLIC NOTICE, QUORUM MEETING, CONDUCT AND ORDER OF BUSINESS AND PUBLIC COMMENT, AND MOVED TO APPROVE THE REVISIONS OF POLICY 1400.

SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE HAD OUR QUESTIONS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES 4 TO 0.

AND IT CAME UP AT IT CAME UP AT THE PLANNING MEETING THAT WE HAD THAT THE WORD TELEGRAM WAS INCLUDED IN THERE.

AND WE JUST DIDN'T THINK THAT IN TODAY'S WORLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RECEIVING A TELEGRAM.

SO WE DID ELIMINATE TELEGRAM.

OH, DID YOU? OKAY. NICE TO KNOW.

WE'VE DECIDED THAT YOU ACTUALLY CAN SEND A TELEGRAM IF YOU NEED TO, BUT.

BUT AS A BOARD MEMBER, IT MUST BE.

IT'D BE EASIER IF YOU JUST SENT AN EMAIL OR GAVE US A TEXT OR PICKED UP THE PHONE.

YEAH, I THINK YOU COULD. I EXPECT YOUR TELEGRAM TO DELIVER BY PONY EXPRESS.

OKAY, MOVING ON.

AND ALL THESE DETAILS, LIKE HOW TO RUN MEETINGS IS ACTUALLY PART OF OUR SCHOOL BOARD TRAINING FOR THE OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS ACT.

THANK YOU FOR REMINDING MR. HENDRICKSON AND I, I THINK, ARE GOING TO SIGN UP FOR OUR REFRESHER AT THE UPCOMING CONFERENCE, SO HOPEFULLY WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ANY.

BUT YOU DO HAVE TO WORK ON KEEPING UP ON THESE.

YES. OK.

OUR NEXT ITEM OF NEW BUSINESS ITEM B REVISION OF POLICY 1410 EXECUTIVE OR CLOSED SESSIONS.

MR. WATERS AGAIN, 1400 WAS CERTAINLY THE MORE COMPLEX OF THESE CHANGES.

IF YOU LOOK AT POLICY 1410 ITS TWO MINOR CHANGES EXCLUDING THE PUBLIC FROM THE MEETING PLACE.

PLACE WAS ELIMINATED FROM THE MEETING.

NOW INSTEAD OF THE MEETING PLACE AND ANNOUNCE WAS ADDED IN GREEN.

AND THEN BELOW YOU CAN SEE THAT A LINE WAS ADDED.

THE ANNOUNCED PURPOSE OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY DO TYPICALLY HAVE DONE.

SO THAT WASN'T IN THERE.

AND THOSE ARE THE ONLY THOSE ARE THE ONLY CHANGES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED.

BUT THIS PUTS US IN LINE AND TAKES THOSE OFF THE THE HOUR TO DO LIST.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVE THE REVISION OF POLICY 1410 EXECUTIVE OR CLOSED SESSIONS? GREAT. THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN MOVED TO APPROVE THE REVISIONS TO POLICY 1410 EXECUTIVE AND CLOSED SESSIONS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.

AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED REVISIONS ARE APPROVED.

4-0. YOU'VE GOT FUTURE EVENTS.

[12. Future Agenda Items and Board Events]

[01:15:06]

I'LL PUT THAT ON MY CALENDAR AND SEE IF I CAN MAKE IT AND TAKE MY TURN IF I DON'T KNOW.

USUALLY YOU HELP DO THAT.

OKAY, THAT'S GREAT. ANY OTHERS? SO WE'RE MEETING OUR NEXT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING IS THE 14TH.

AND JUST AS A REMINDER TO EVERYBODY ON THE 16TH, WE LEAVE, SOME OF US, MOST OF US DELAYED BECAUSE HE'S GOT SOME OTHER COMMITMENTS.

YEAH, BUT TED WILL BE JOINING US AFTER THE 16TH.

WE LEAVE FOR THE WHAT'S TO COME.

GREAT. YEAH. AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY I DON'T SEE ON MY CALENDAR BOARD TOURS.

NO TOURS. I CAN TELL JANUARY.

IS THAT TILL JANUARY.

THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE WAIVER DAY IN NOVEMBER.

AND THERE WAS ANOTHER CONFLICT.

NOVEMBER DIDN'T WORK AND DECEMBER WAS KIND OF SHORT THAT IT WOULD BE JUST.

GREAT. ALL RIGHT.

[13. Work Session]

I KNOW JACKI SENT IN A LIST OF YES, I HAVE CHOICES THAT SHE WAS INTERESTED IN.

IF I CAN GET TO MY FOLDER, I CAN FIND MY SPREADSHEET.

YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE ONLY THERE FOR FRIDAY.

JUST. AND I TRIED TO DO SOME HIGHLIGHTING.

IT DIDN'T LIKE THAT BACK AND WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO SAVE CHANGES THAT.

COME ON. OH, IT DID.

AND SO I JUST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY COMMUNICATION FROM LOGAN? ARE YOU ON THAT LIST OF STUDENT BOARD MEMBERS? A FEW EMAILS FROM HIM, I'M SURE ABOUT HOW DIRECTED THEY WERE, THOUGH.

SO I CAN CHAT WITH YOU ABOUT.

YEAH, THEY MIGHT BE LIKE A BLAST OUT TO EVERYBODY.

YEAH, I WROTE HIM BECAUSE I'VE SERVED ON SEVERAL COMMITTEES WITH HIM AND HE'S THE HEAD OF THE STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS GROUP AND ASKED HIM IF THEY HAD SPECIFIC EVENTS, WHICH I KNOW THEY HAVE IN THE PAST, AND THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS ON THE SCHEDULE LIKE THIS.

THEY'RE LIKE, LET'S GO MEET IN HOTEL LOBBY NUMBER OR WHATEVER FOR THIS.

AND SO HOPEFULLY HE'LL GIVE ME SOME OF THAT AND WE CAN SEE WHERE THEY FIT IN.

HE'S EMAILED ME LIKE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE NETWORK MEETINGS, BUT THEY'RE USUALLY SCHEDULED AT THE SAME TIME AS OUR BOARD MEETINGS BECAUSE IT'S THE ALTERNATING MONDAYS.
