people who are going speaking during our public comment period and first sorry my printer doesn't work Dax with Mom hello um I'm here to express my support for the agriculture education FFA program my son Dax has been part of FFA for 3 years he is a member of the trap shooting team has raised 2 sheep for his fair project and last summer had huge success at the fair and call them had recently took the steps to establish a breeding block I'm asking that when looking at cuts that you take careful consideration to not eliminate the agriculture education or the FFA program FFA and egg a crucial role in helping students stay in school by engaging them in Hands-On real life learning experiences these activities give students a sense of purpose encourage them to set goals and keep them invested in their education activities prepare students to be self-sufficient adults by teaching financial management problem solving communication teamwork and Leadership skills no matter what career path students choose FFA provides the foundation for Independence and success additionally FFA and egg Foster compassion for the well-being of animals that enter our food through Hands-On livestock care sorry proper nutrition and Humane treatment these lessons encourage students to become informed consumers advocates for ethical farming practices and Future Leaders in agriculture Dax had great success at the fair year we wrote a roller coaster of emotions deciding what the next steps for his U Dutch would be if you know Dax he's a pretty tough cookie he will be the first to tell you that he bawled like a baby when the doors open that allowed him to take such home for good and then the absolutely enjoy that spread across his face when she landed this spring these are lessons that cannot be taught in a traditional classroom the trap shooting team is another program that teaches students responsibility discipline and focus this sport promotes firearm safety sportsmanship and respect for rules skills translate into everyday life participation and trap shooting Fosters teamwork and perseverance and it provides an opportunity who for students who may not be involved in traditional Sports to excel in a competitive and structured environment the discipline and patience learned through this program benefit students both inside and outside the classroom if our egg teacher is rift our students will be deprived of learning opportunities not just an egg but if there's a reworking of Physicians students will lose out in multiple subject areas Maybe students have already enrolled in courses for next year selecting plant science or floor culture as part of their educational path without a qualified teacher these courses were not will not likely be available to them the district would not only be limiting students academic choices but also managing the resources and opportunities available to them as both an involved parent and a dedicated District employee I believe in the tremendous value of FFA and egg education our students deserve the opportunities these programs provide I urge you to recognize the immense value of FFA egg and to ensure their continued growth and success thank you for your time and consideration trying to do this I'm Rob minor I um not a district employee I have put 3 kids through the school already I have 2 currently um but I'm here tonight to talk to you also about a education FFA and CTE a education is more than cows plows and S it's about science technology business and sustainability agriculture isn't just about farming it's about food security sustainability science and feeding the world a education teaches students where their food comes from the importance of natural resources and how Innovation and Technology shapes the future of farming in a time when few people are directly connected to culture this kind of education is more important than ever FFA is more than the blue jacket my stock shows it builds leaders through Hands-On learning competitions and Leadership experience FFA shapes confident capable students ready to make a difference in agriculture business education and public service it installs responsibility worth it work ethics problem solving skills that matter in a changing world no matter their interests plant science and Animal Care AGN mechanics conservation or business FFA provides a place for everyone it gives students a voice teaches them to speak confidently lead by example serve their communities FFA inspires dreams and reminds students that their work does matter because agriculture touches every life every day CTE programs are where learning meets doing they provide students with Real World skills that lead to high demands High wage careers whether it's well mechanics veterinary science or a business CTE Bridges the gaps between education and the workforce making students career ready and confident in their abilities I still remember the first time I walked into an ad class I really wasn't sure what I was doing there I got signed up for an extra class by accident little did I know that class changed my life and made a a huge part of it we are building Future Leaders a FFA in CTE is the biggest part of that for our kids the Future Leaders that we need here in Chile they give life GG opportunities For Preparing our students in real world gives them a sense of purpose and builds a stronger more skill generation so let us keep these programs that we invest in a education FFA and CTE building future students 1 student at a time our future students are we've had students come out to hear it becoming FFA advisors 1 of our other students is current director of our local creme FFA and a is such a vital importance to our kids I I've heard so many kids say I would change schools I don't want that for our kids please look at the big picture not taking a teacher who is excellent in math and have hurt each other courses and maybe putting a teacher doing math classes that really is not what our students need thank you thank you um our next speaker is Ian Jones we're probably gonna continue to hear the same theme over and over we did not get together you were just very passionate about this um so my name is Le Jones I am the parent of 2 current FFA members Daniel and Haley Jones they're with me today and I've also been teaching for um in the district for the past 7 years um I am here to express my full support for FFA and agriculture so um education program at the high school these programs are not only vital vital to the development of our students but they also serve as a Cornerstone for building leadership responsibility and career Readiness within our community FFA is far more than just farming I was not ever involved in FFA so I thought it was just all about that but I found out early on that is not it um it is a dynamic Youth Organization that prepares students for leadership careers in science business technology in agriculture um through participation of FFA students develop a wide range of skills from public speaking project management financial literacy and Hands-On experiences these skills are not only applicable in agriculture but they are transferable to countless other fields the egg program offers students real world Hands-On learning opportunities that few other courses can provide um whether it's managing livestock growing crops working in teams or solving real agricultural issues students are actively engaged in meaningful purpose-driven education this kind of learning Fosters critical thinking creativity and collaboration skills that are essential in any career path additionally FFA promotes Civic engagement community service and leadership development many students find their voice through FFA they become confident leaders voice public speakers and active contributors to their community you might have already discovered tonight or you will actually as you continue to uh listen further to others if any of you know my daughter Haley Jones you know she's quiet and reserved um but has a passion for agriculture anything animals and um yeah everything's surrounding it f of a has provided her with many opportunities to develop her Fierce leadership skills she has attended local and state conventions that has prompt students to step outside their comfort zone and connect with others through purposeful engagement strategies things you cannot find in a traditional classroom these opportunities have instilled her the courage to stand in front of others and speak as well as organize and Lead meetings and you will hear from her tonight um for some students the a program is what keeps them connected to school we want kids coming to school stay in school um it becomes their passion their purpose and their path forward and some of you might know my son Daniel Jones who's here he is a freshman and he has many physical and developmental challenges but FFA provides him with a safe place where he has accepted as well as challenge to try new things um because his friends are there um and this year he joined the FFA trap shooting club something I never thought he would physically be able to do but his team and his coach have come alongside and they made modifications and allowances for him to participate he's not only participating he's a thriving FFA is 1 of the only things that keeps him engaged in school sorry um by supporting um agriculture education FFA you're investing in students who will be tomorrow's leaders not not just in agriculture but in business Science Education and Beyond you're supporting a program that values hard work integrity and innovation most importantly you're showing our students that their passions and their potential matter we as a district say that students matter that kids come first do they now is the time to stand behind what we say it's time time to show up for these kids thank you for your time your consideration and your continued support of these programs that truly make a difference in students lives I can talk hours about this but I'm gonna try to keep it simple try not to cry my name is Taylor Jones and I'm proud to serve as a current vice president of our FFA chapter today I sit before you to speak about something that is not just important to me but to so many others at this school I'm speaking for the future of our FFA chapter and for the countless students whose lives it has changed there's thought that we might lose our FFA program and I can't help but feel a sense of urgency and frustration this is not just a club we're talking about this is a community of a Lifeline for students a place where we can grow learn and find our voices if we lose FFA we lose far more than just a group of people getting together after school we lose opportunities we lose a path to the Future and for some of us we lose the 1 place where we truly belong I've been a part of this organization for 5 years and I pour my heart and soul into this chapter from the very first day I joined I knew that FFA was more than just a way to learn about agricultural it was also a way to shape my future I've always dreamed of being the president of our chapter it's not just about the title for me it's about the responsibility that the leadership and the opportunity to make a real difference as vice president I've been able to step up take charge of important projects and to help other discover their potential just like I did when I first walked in but it's more than just a leadership roles FFA has given me something far more valuable a sense of safety of security of belonging when I first joined I wasn't sure where I fit in at school but ever since I walked into FFA I felt like it I had found my place it's not just about the activities or the competitions that keep me coming back it's the people FFA is a is a space where I can truly be myself it's a place where I can show up be challenged and know that I will be supported no matter what for many students FFA is the only place where they feel valued for some it's don't only club that truly supports them and for others it's the only place they can go to escape from the stress of this world FFA is a place where we are all equal and no 1 is judged No 1 has felt left behind it doesn't matter what your background is or what your interests are outside of school FFA accepts you for who you are we celebrate our differences and needs them to make our chapter stronger and it's not just feeling good it's about what we do we work we compete we get back to our community we take on real world challenges and we tackle them head-on we're learning to become leaders not just for our school but for the communities and for the world we're preparing for careers in agriculture veterinary science environmental sustainability Business and Technology all through the lens of FFA mission the skills we develop here leadership communication time management and responsibility are the ones that will stay with us long after we leave High School this isn't just about a club this is about the foundation for the rest of our lives think about the impact we've already had the awards we've brought home the service projects we've completed the pride we built in our school these aren't small achievements these are the moments that make us Stand Tall our of FFA chapter has become a symbol of dedication of perseverance and hard work we represent our school at the local state and National levels we've shown what it means to be leaders not just in the classroom but in every corner of life so I'm asking you what are we willing to give up when we take away FFA are we willing to give up the chance to become the next generation of leaders are we willing to close the door on students like me who are working toward their dreams and to find purpose in a club that gives them hope and direction this chapter this program this place so much more than we could ever Express in words it's a place where we find our voices our purpose and our future it's a place where dreams are nurtured leadership is built in community is made stronger so let me ask you how can we stand by and let this program go how can we be the generation that closes the door on something that is the power to change lives FFA chapter is the the FFA chapter is not just important to me it's important to everyone who walks through that door everyone who believes in what we stand for we can't let that go I ask you to think about the students the lives in the future that will be impacted if we lose this chapter I ask you to think about all the dream that will never be realized the leadership that will never be nurtured and the sense of community that will be broken we cannot afford to lose FFA we must stand together and we must keep EFA life for us for the future of students and for everything this programs represents thank you our our final public comments tonight come from Daniel Jones is not going to be as long I am Daniel Jones a member of FFA and Ninth Grade I I first joined FFA in the seventh grade uh I joined because because I learned from my siblings the um a little bit about from my siblings it sounds like fun to do it so when I joined it was more than just fun it was amazing hi um even wanted to become an officer someday to keep this program going and FFA I have gotten to participate in a lot of the things such such as raising a and taking it to to the fair creating and educational poster learned how to do livestock judging got uh on the countless trips where I've learned a list of about agriculture like like jobs such as welding farming and machinery um so I joined the traction club that taught me me more firearm safety and FFA makes me feel like I belong somewhere it gives me a reason to go to school please keep this program going thank you I want to sincerely thank everyone for the comments um we continue with school and Community presentations many of which have been submitted in writing um first to be uh Tiana's as update but we have that in writing he's not here tonight um but it looks like the students have been a little busy I think I got word she's just returning from Europe that's what it says apologies just getting back to your level so um with that we will move on to our Maintenance and Facilities update thank you um so I got 3 things I was right now as I was writing them up they all just Blended together to what I'm supposed to talk about so um the first 1 is we had a a facility safety review um and that's ESD um uh with Don Ebert um I was just going to read this 1 little paragraph and and just highlight what he said here um so attached you'll find a description of items found during the facility review the intent is to give you a document uh that you can use to educate staff of best safety practices or to assist prioritize corrective action uh potential safety hazards with that the last paragraph says the facilities are exceptionally well-maintained and the commitment to safety for students and staff is clearly evident please let us know how we can be uh further assistance the the whole so that was all the facilities so we did a a walk through a safety walk through through uh guest Elementary court site and the high school and uh and we do this every year as a safety um uh what they call the facility safety review so um so so that's kind of the letter he sent with the corrections of the stuff we did find the the list was small it was probably the smallest list we had um so I'll just wanted to share this with everyone just on the facilities and and um and where I'm going to go with this the second 1 is you know I heard all the teachers getting training so I like man I want to jump on that bandwagon train up our staff and and make emails and how do you train the staff up in maintenance and so once we sent uh Jimmy our groundskeeper to um pesticide to get certified he actually went did the full course through WSU now he's a pesticide commercial applicator in the school district I looked at the test because I was thinking of doing it and it looked hard so let's see if you can do this yes so he did pass it and and it was good and uh and very proud of that um the second 1 is me and Chris went to a uh leadership training and while we were there you know it's it's it's kind of the same stuff but you always get something out of it and the big thing I got out of it was was the the focus on the staff successes because I'm always looking at things and it's easy to find things that aren't done versus the things that are done so I was trying to change my mind frame and looking at every good thing that my group does and did emo did he the custodians everything going into a positively looking at the things they do and that was big focus at this thing and what I really wanted to highlight 1 thing with this letter as well is you know Chris is is my backup guy I try to train him up to be me so that way if I take off no even though I'm gone but really he is a gym to the district he is a powerful guy he will do all the maintenance crew are awesome people they they will do anything part of the ESD is when a teacher calls we just take care of everything we're Servants of all and we just take care of it and and I just want to commend my guys how awesome they are and of course they're all listening so but but really I just am proud of the maintenance crew the guys in what they do is is huge and um and it shows it comes out in these letters it shows and um so that that was that part um um 1 little thing I was not sure if I was going to say it but I'm a high hopes guy and that we've been fighting trying to get this grant this small school modernization grant for the grad school to get AC in there um we are on the list the Senate we we did make the list for the funding the Senate passed but we're still waiting for a few more obstacles but it's looking good so I'm just going to leave it at that that and that's the AC new heating system at the at the grade school 6 million dollars so it's um it's coming so like I say I'm hopeful guy and I think it's going to happen so it's just exciting news so wouldn't be this summer The the follow on summer so um um big project 6 million dollar project so that would be huge um and then that I just wanted to finish off um we finally finished our last uh Levy item um which is the announcer's booth and I've talked about it many times um but we just did a little snapshot um um Nick's awesome crew video editing kind of just gave this um and I think does not sway move solid uh it is 60 feet down into the hardest ground we could find but 6 65 Hilux is what they're called drill bits that they leave in the ground and yeah um Mercer Timber it's a kit the milled the whole thing it's kind of like logins is doing at their spot with their um blue Lambs uh it's not fully furniture yet this is kind of where we're getting there um the windows are they they move both ways and they pop out so we can take out the windows we can open 1 side we can open the other side so uh way cheaper than the quoted price um nice Heat I like that yeah this was Winter times the grass is brown so that's not normally like that hand nice we just we got letters coming they'll be here within the next week or 2 um uh I think it's what MV sniger uh we'll go across the front of it big cougar on the side um 1 of the last pieces were getting quotes for is just uh a new sound system so we're just gonna see what the prices are check it out and and that's the big thing because really want to put speakers on the polls to just ignite that sound out there so there's no problem hearing plus we want a nice Bluetooth mic so that way anyone on the field if we ever host an advanced senior night we have no no problems with um cutting out or anything so so we're looking at that right now and that's the last 2 things to complete this and then uh and yeah and then I'll complete the levy 20 2 who was it 22 Yeah Yeah a long time yeah so uh just let me let me before the last 1 yes so um um that's pretty much all I had for tonight for the maintenance if there's any questions or not um um yeah thank you letter tele also add 2 audits by the department by the state patrol and uh 1 is unannounced and then 1's announced so they just have their 2 weeks ago and all the everything was clear plain and clear so it's a great audit so congratulations also Pro transportation cool the next item on our agenda is briefing notes from today books all right I'll be here and I don't have to go back and show some presentations but in February um there were Let's see we had a whole car load there was 6 of us right I can't count today it's been a long day um there were 6 of us that went to the NCC conference in Seattle at the convention center and uh it was 2 days worth of classes and educational technology Focus um most of what I went to was kind of focused on like cyber security things like that um but I also went to a course on um professional development like how to improve our professional program so that's probably the 1 I took the most notes in um it was a class I actually stumbled into by mistake because I was volunteering at the front desk and it finished early and I thought oh I'll just pick a class oh this 1 looks good and I walked in there expecting it to be an hour long class and an goes by and I think well they're not done yet and I was it was a 2-hour workshop and it was it was great so I have a lot of notes on that of things we'll try and do next year just to make our Tech PD a little bit more engaging and try and meet staff's needs a little more um it's always a challenge just because mostly because of time but uh we'll try to make sure at the time we do have we use as well as possible um and I went to a few classes on AI That's the big buzzword now and technology and a lot of the teachers did as well so what I'll show you um is a couple of teachers they weren't able to be here tonight but they have presentations just to explain some of what they did so I'll show you those and so the board knows the tech department funds an Institute every Thursday after school like a half hour and so they put on a survey staff and then they do trainings on technology uses of like the board for sometimes they get teachers from sometimes know the tech better so it's those are the best ones when they teach it so the you know the professional development we have that ongoing it's like a couple times a month correct sometimes depending on it depends on the month we probably did 6 or 7 this year yeah yeah so that's just gonna get a historical background about that um so 1 of the teachers who went was Rachel Gris fifth grade teacher at gas and I'm she said she wasn't able to be here but she made this presentation so it talks and she couldn't even board members I'm here tonight to share some of my key takeaways from the ncce 2025 conference in Seattle something that's become as much a part of our classrooms as pencils paper in the occasional in the series sticky spot on the floor technology teaching has never been a 9 to 5 job it's more like a sixth to midnight with a stack of papers job and while we love what we do we could all use a little help that's where technology and more recently AI ing AI is not here to replace Educators it's here to support us like a really fast thinking assistant who never needs bathroom breaks and doesn't find writing 10 different versions of a lesson plan here are just a few ways technology can lighten our load lesson planning support AI tools can help brainstorm differentiated activities allowing lessons with standards and even generate rubrics in seconds trust me I've tested this grading assistance no we won't do all the work for us but it can help us provide quicker more consistent feedback specially on writing assignments communication whether it's simplifying IEP documentation or drafting parent updates can help us work smarter not longer in professional development AI can personalize learning for us too suggesting tools and strategies tailored to our grade level subject or classroom needs let's be honest our students live in a digital world they can swipe long before they can spell algorithm and some of them are better at navigating an iPad than we are at The copier technology isn't coming is already here and if we don't teach our students how to use it responsibly critically and creatively they'll be playing catch-up in a game that's already in overtime that being said we know with great power comes great responsibility their guidelines are a must guardrails help students stay focused on learning creativity and safe use of these tools AI helps teachers have that time to evaluate what their students need how to make learning more fun thank you for supporting the people at the front of the classroom and the tools that can help us keep doing what we do best Everything Seen on this presentation was either learned or further explored during my time at ncce along with many of their AI apps and experiences I find True Value in this training and I've shared so much with our staff thank you for this wonderful opportunity there were some really nice things that the conference there um I know 1 thing so after we came back our very next 2 Institute is people shared some of the things they learned and 1 Thing some teachers have started doing is um instead of just using like a chat GPT type of AI which is generic they're creating custom AI so you can set parameters you can say okay I don't want my kids on chat gbt having it write them papers but I want to create this Custom 1 that it's only going to give them advice on this 1 thing or for my younger students it's only here to talk about these animals for studying that's all it's going to talk about it'll keep them focused on that it's going to keep it the right grade level um and so this um if it will let me set it and poly coolie was 1 of the teachers who went she teaches third grade at gas and um I'm on there below technology don't we so 1 of the products that does that is school Ai and we can create spaces um so we're not going to do it now but um basically it lets you um this was this was her presentation she shared at the training so I'm not going to go through the whole thing um yeah that's a 9 minute video we're not watching that but it'll we can let's take a look and get a copy of it for anybody who wants it um but the nice thing about this is it does let you use AI with your students come on it's just okay it does let you use AI with younger students you know I wouldn't put an 8-year-old on chat GPT but if you create something and you set the parameters you can use the technology as a tool to do that because it can like help them with tutoring on a subject it can give them writing advice but not write it for them you know you can set those specific things so it's actually being used for education and not for cheating or just goofing around um so thank thank you for letting us go to this it was really helpful and we're hoping to find a way to go next year as well thank you next is our comprehensive School counseling plan yeah you've seen there we go oh you have to go I was standing okay all right well thank you for being here tonight we're here to briefly go over the comprehensive School counseling plan which we list School District um Kelly Tanner myself have all had input on putting together a comprehensive counseling plan over the last several years um it is part of Senate Bill 5030 like doing that just put out but basically the old school districts would have a plan um that to school counselors with phone in order to evaluate their programs and ensure that counselors are using data-driven methods and all of those things so um that's what we're here to do tonight you should have received um that yes yes um it is it's been cooled down to 17 Pages it was a much larger document at 1 Point um and basically an outline of what we commit to do it sounds all right not a Jenkins at 2 School business um so why have a comprehensive counseling plan so um part of creating a comprehensive plan is to move away from being reactive so uh inherently counseling uh school counselor work students reactive so we respond to crisis we deescalate students and stuff sometimes um we uh we respond to mental health crises um and part of that is reactive work in order to serve all of our students in the school district we have to be uh proactive and so part of a comprehensive nsev plan is making sure that we have Frameworks um that allow us to address all student needs um and so that's what we're here to talk about so um part of the plan and we'll go this is just overview of what's in the plan in front of you so just making sure that all students have um oh the ability to reach their potential and academic success Career Development and social emotional growth um and also to have access so part of being um a reactionary counselor is that you only get to meet the needs of the students that are having a crisis um our job is to be there for all of our students and serve the needs of 100% of the students in the district so um making sure that we have this framework that meets State and National standards so um the state has done a really good job and uh giving us guidance when and so we've Incorporated a lot of those things into discipline having comprehensive counseling plan uh promotes whole Child Development so uh teaching skills like self-regulation resilience career and college readiness and interpret interpersonal communication um it supports academic achievement as well uh by helping students manage stress build executive functioning skills and develop good learning habits um counselors play a critical role and boosting student engagement and achievement I told her so um part of it is uh guides career and college readiness um through a high school and Beyond plan also Fosters a positive School climate so through a tiered system of support uh through Behavior interventions and prevention work like peer conflict resolution and bullying prevention all essential to a healthy learning environment um and then using data to inform the work that we do so uh we don't just do classroom lessons because there's something that we enjoy today um teaching or you don't do counseling groups because that's what on last thing that we're comfortable with we use data to inform what lessons we teach or what groups we facilitate um and then also so part of that data is making sure that um what we're doing is effective so evaluating ourselves as well um and then mostly it just provides the structure so what will we be doing each year or what um how will we be evaluating our program to make sure that they're effective so that is a little more than 3 minutes but okay that's right let me tell you we get now I only now I only get 1 and a half so okay so a quick thing thanks for that so on that um just um kind of uh the way the plan sets out and we do follow the guidelines um through our govern agencies through counseling not only through our school district but through ES and also through the government agency um uh after so that's the national school counselor Association so um if you look if you have your paper basically it's on 410 so um if you're so with the that covers 4 different areas of the plan so the first 1 is defined for for um that first section it's it's on page 7 if you're following Along on your paper um but basically it sits um that's where we Define our role like what is what is all this stuff for me we're defining the role of what we are so we're looking at standards we teach we're describing the ethical practices we follow uh professional knowledge needed uh activities we use and the timeline that will follow so that's that definition piece first so that's now we can now once we realize that we are now let's go on and so then it goes into the managing piece and that's on page 9 if you're on there and it's on my second tab and that's basically how we manage it so um how we deliver services to meet the needs um to meet our vision Miss uh their vision statement or Mission and our belief statements all of those how are we going to deliver that out um how we're going to manage that piece okay and then it kind of goes obviously more specifics in the plan um and then that third piece is um uh is the delivery piece so we've we've defined what it is we Managed IT we've kind of going to go and say this is what we're going to do and now this is how we're going to deliver it and that's um on page 11 uh but uh and and and then we'll kind of talk a little bit about that's how we're delivering and adjusting world we we separate into Direct Services and indirect Services those Direct Services are just that it's a direct myself with someone so I'm going to be doing that kind of teaching engaging mint returning helping however you want to put it or the indirect Services is all the stuff that we want to get out there but it's presented by somebody else and though somebody else's could be teachers and often a lot is um and uh or Administration or outside Community Services or a video or whatever those resources are that we have um and and and then the server oh so those indirect and Direct Services are kind of a key piece when you're looking at uh getting a lot of information out to a lot of people and having 1 person to do it so um it's it's very nice but it just needs structure because they just don't want people going willy-nilly this we're talking people's feelings and brains and humans here so um but uh so uh part of that is periodically through the year um each of the counselors will do what what we call a use of time assessment and we always kind of grumble at it because it is a little person it's February 15th for an entire week every 15 minutes you stop and and and check and and recognize what you're doing at that moment and put it into the categories that we have set up is this a direct thing it's just that am I on a parent phone call am I those sorts of things and then we look at that and go okay well let me think about this this is where I spent a lot of time and really is that the best use of my time let me structure that different or is there somebody that doesn't have that doesn't um need my qualifications could that person better do those pieces and and and um better differentiate our skills out in a better scent in use of of our resources so um we we do that uh we also um that's a nice tool for us we also throw in um in this section is that role of the counselors and looking into that direct who's doing the direct stuff what am I doing at quartet what's Vanessa doing well on Tuesday afternoon she's in the classroom talking about scheduling so it's quite appropo right now so um or is it um or doing something where oh my heavens we need to have this extra testing and I need to we need to contact a community rural resources for blah blah blah blah blah and then I might oversee that I might go do that so um we're looking at those role of that everything we want in accounting department how are we going to get that out of there and differentiating that out again to get the best bang for our buck for 1 person in the job um and then that that section also goes over the curriculum and different resources in the packet we put um we've listed kind of I mean anybody that works with humans as we all do sometimes those resources aren't quite a book that you pull out I mean they're kind of have experience that you've had and now you can use that so uh so that list on in your packet is um is you know it's this long but it's really this long if you look at people's experience itself um the last 1 is um on page 15 but that's how we're assessing it um and and the key thing there is um I would say all 3 of us are very we don't want to spend time the stuff that's not working nobody that's just not smart and um or effective or any word you want to put into but um instead of let let's look to make sure that because we are busy we are busy every minute everybody is but um let's assess that we're busy in the right way um and so those pieces are we look at uh we use ASCO a lot with their um models and their tools they they you know it's that whole with I AI it's that's smart let's let's think smarter here let's use what's already there so they have suggestions and we look at that we meet with our um professional or our PLC thanks with our plc's and we go and at the end of the year we really look at that and we've looked at our pre and post test if we're in those classrooms and and doing that and but seeing what we're doing as far as uh is it it did it meet the goal that we wanted to meet did kids blah blah blah you know that we want them to do um the other piece on that section is oh we also uh we do an evaluation we do a self evaluation and then again there's some there's some literature in there that we kind of follow to help us guide that but we also um obviously we have our administrator is evaluating us as well but it's using the same standards because that's what we're we put out that to kids why are we going to we would never test and evaluate a kid on something that they didn't plan on that's just smart so we um this school district is very uh that does that very well they listen to that but um I have noticed at least I think so um and um our administrators were meet us where we need to do that um but that's that's kind of the little longer than a minute overview um and then yeah that's just kind of Hit the and um so Kelly kind of talked about some of the aspect tools that we used so I thought I hand out some of these I know that we've put links in there for um for the tools that we use in order to evaluate um our our performance or our outcome goals or School data summary uh we do mindset behavior um action plans we do um so I don't know if you guys have school counseling program Investments um so there's some links to all of those in there where we had them in there originally oh they're all they're all different so you can pass these around if you'd like um the the reason for having all of those and just to make sure that we are intentional about the work that we do so that we're not just guessing um that something more um Kelly had mentioned the school counseling program assessment it's a very in-depth document that leads us through basically step by step what we should be doing what the ideal is and then we assess where we are on that so that we can make deals and plan on this for improving um and then a major part of um you know doing doing this uh for counselors is to make sure that we're supporting um teachers and administration and our students as well so we do align our yearly goals so we each make individual goals for what we want our counseling program to be in our building so the elementary makes 1 1 for the Junior Senior High School um and we align those with our school Improvement plan so for instance I think in all of our building and promote plan is that we would increase um testing scores and the ELA um and our chamber School culture and so I know for myself those were 2 goals that um when I looked at my at the you know before the start of the school year what my programs were going to be like what um what my you know what I was going to push into classrooms and teach was going to be based with that with those school permit plans in mind so you're creating lesson plans you're creating a programs to support that so for instance with your mentorship program is part of increasing School culture so we had a additionally we had a middle school executive functioning classes that um kind of lean into that increasing executive executive functioning skills then that would support students in increasing their their test scores as well so they're academic I just have to ask how much going because you talked about that earlier yes yeah so we just finished up at the end of um term 3 um and it was very successful I'm still waiting on the desk from 1 of the other teachers that did the post scores so I I had hoped to bring that here but I didn't have that last set of data but I know my group that I had had Improvement in um you know some of the questions that I asked was you know how do you create your your organizational skills or your time management skills or your study skills and in my group um several of those categories by that so I haven't tied it to academic grades um but I will make sure to get that too well I mean you know beneficial or not so it was it was very rewarding I know that but so a big part of it is just that intentionality that we're tying what we do to the larger school and so yeah and part of that then you know to and part of that is is yeah um I just feel real strongly I mean and and you know everybody you know as far as money goes and all of that goes I think it's real important and I um will stand on this for my life but um a lot of times I think it's really important at a school there to to ate those jobs like if the because you're paying for a it's a required Master's level educator that's what the school counselor has to have to be a counselor and that isn't a cheap person and so if if I can have that position do what they're trained to do but then maybe have somebody else that doesn't have that training do the data entry like the scheduling piece that that kind of stuff where it might not need a such and such hourly paid person to do that let's differentiate those pieces out um and and not that but unless there are reneer we're not above that that is not where that is saying that is just let's let's um use of garment so because we do it other than so so to to end up our goals uh with what what we would like to see as a district counseling as we want to First Look at um we want to increase that as Vanessa had said this look what our individual building zip plans are we're increasing those exposures were promoting academic success we happen to measure that academic success specifically for this in our Ela and our map that include other things absolutely absolutely absolutely like at courtsite are they making their um getting their 20% done a week getting there this and this and that that the other Schools are they coming to school that's part of that academic success um so it's not just those test scores but we recognize that that is part of the whole um seal social emotional learning piece um and I'm going to put this piece in and now seal lessons are no longer think heaven um are supposed to be taught by me I mean that is taught by all of us every time we we interact with humans that that we're we're we're we're modeling we're showing the right things and that that is how humans learn of all ages so to get everybody exposure so we are my position is such that if you have a question or I will hopefully guide you in that and so you don't have to go Rogue but in that but our position is working with stack 2 is going to a staff code hey this just happened this is what I said oh well Mr Franklin we might you might I don't know how to talk about how you could spell that to this experience or or you know here let me I I've got some resources for you those sorts of things but so we really um look at that so um the other thing is is increased um with that post High School what where it's going to do I mean um you know the FFA people were talking about that what what we want to create leaders how are we doing that in our community uh and and part of that is is we're looking at that it's right in with our high school plan we're looking at we're revamping that for next year I mean it's state Le but we chose to take the um timeline and let's jump in and and reduce right now maybe next time I've been talking about it already so this fit right in um and then the last piece is again going back to you let's continue YouTube evaluate what we're doing so we're not wasting everybody's money and our time and we're also in that positive thing let's get let's say good people out there yeah okay thank you yes any questions or might be a I think you need to tell us about well I'll I'll do the the quick version of this so I do a presentation similar to this for um parents and families that are considering doing running store and or college in the high school but just to make sure they have information in order to make the best um the best plans for their student or themselves um so um and truly School District we have college and high school and running start options available to our student and we have quite a few of our students that take advantage of that um so I'll just give a quick version of I do a kind of a side-by-side comparison of running start and collagen High School um and then you know we I meet individually with both student and parent Guardian at least the first time if they decide um that they're going to do running store a because there's a lot of paperwork involved but be to make sure that they have an opportunity at task questions and then also um to really make sure that they understand the um all the ins and outs of a college in the high school and running start so running start is available to high school juniors and seniors um in order to uh access running start you only really have to do math testing for placement so um other than that like you can go search uh College in the high school is similar you do have to do a testing in order to to get into math College in the high school math um and then you have to have a b or better in a previous English or history class in order to get into the college in the high school versions of those classes um so and it uh College in the high school is available for some freshmen classes it's available to uh for for right now our freshmen can access um the computer so it was the tech foundations course they could earn college credit for and then some sophomores can earn um history credits uh through either a US history or world history and then juniors in and and then depending on what math they're in they can also earn uh College in the high school math credits as sophomores and then Juniors and seniors have access to college and high school English math and history okay a location so uh running start uh registered is different than it was even ten years ago our running start students uh typically if you were uh jacket high school student probably 15 years ago you would have had to have drove to the Colville campus or Spokane campus in order to access classes at running start that is no no longer the way 99% of our students access running start classes anymore um all all not all I shouldn't say all the vast majority of classes that are available through Spokane Community College or spoken at Paul's Community College available online so students can access their courses um usually they access it through Hybrid models so that means that uh you could go into a compass 1 day uh if you had class on Tuesdays and Thursdays you could go in on a Tuesday uh and do your class if you change your mind on Thursday and you wanted to just do the zoom version you could do that and then the next Tuesday if you wanted to not do the zoom or the in-person you could just watch the recorded version later on so that's what the hybrid model is most of our students use that because it's very flexible so if they wanted to watch their course at midnight on a Wednesday night they can do that um and like I said the vast majority of our running start students do the hybrid model a college in the High School uh courses are offered through Eastern Washington University and Central Washington University um and they're offered at our campus here uh at Jens High School we'll talk a little bit more about that um credits both uh running star and college in the high school allows students to earn uh credits for high school and for college uh if you if you have the ability to get your AA through the community colleges whereas the college in the High School courses uh credits that you earn are transferable both of them are transferable but you don't have the ability to earn an AA through just the college in the High School courses that you take at Jack's high school mostly because we don't in the high school science or art or PE or those things that you would need for an AA um so that's kind of the difference there cushion fees um both running start and college in the high school are covered through the state um the the um oh the tuition is covered through the state if you um go to running start you're expected to pay for transportation if you drive there uh your textbooks any lab fees registration fees uh they do have waivers for that so if you qualify for free or reduced lunch those those things can be waived collagen High School I was paid for your any testing fees any books um those type of thanks so um all of our students to get that free but they don't have to pay for it yeah each of them free to them yes uh course selection so running star obviously has um a light wide of course that students can choose from uh they have a a massive course catalog um collagen High School courses I have that broke down by English math and history and social sciences so we do offer a lot of college and high school courses for being such a small school um we're pretty fortunate about that that we can we can offer so many I'll um turn into this I'll tell you the numbers of students that are in those classes but um yeah there's quite a few offerings so um instructors and student body so um true running start it it obviously taught by um my college professors um I think that's kind of 1 of the things that surprises some of the running start students is that they're attending running start online courses or in-person courses with sometimes 30 40 year olds also so um it's more diverse group of people that are in that student body um and then College in the high school is obviously taught by our teachers here that meet the qual the university qualifications um in order to teach that you know their specialized uh class and then the classes are the only the students that are in that class so typically those class sizes are larger than maybe 20 students for us uh running start classes sometimes are a little bit bigger than that usually 30 or more so about 30-ish um flexibility so I think this is probably the biggest indicator of well the biggest reason that our students choose running start is that flexibility um so students can't a there's a lot of classes to choose from and then B they uh can finish a term pretty quickly so the the Community College from the term system so their terms are 12 weeks and comparison to our 12 weeks um so they could finish their English 101 in 12 weeks um rather than in 19 weeks uh and then they can finish their English 102 that next term so they have fall winter spring um they could finish their whole Junior English class by the end of March so rather than a full year so I think that's a big thing for them and then they also love the flexibility of being in running start classes so they can sign up for 3 class that the community college and be considered full-time students um so maybe they only attend classes on Tuesday to Thursday remotely or or whatever and then maybe they have a 3 credit PE or health class on a Wednesday so they could need nothing with their coursework and a couple of errors and then have that freedom to be able to work or or with no warning or whatever it is that they're doing for the day so I I you know from working with the running start students for many years that is the thing that they love is that flexibility please uh College in the high school it is limited to the course offerings and I had listed there and you have to be in person every day in that class you don't have the option of like come in 1 day and then not for the next 4 days so you have to be there in person um so there's the little bit of differences with those grade monitoring this is a big piece for me because in running start um if you're running start student uh your Jenkins High School student or court site student that also tends the community colleges and I don't get to know if they pass or fail courses until they've already passed or failed the course so I won't find out if 1 of my running start students has failed a course until after it's posted to their transcript and now I get those final grades so I really beat that into the kids and parents as they're making this decision because um I don't get to know that until after the fact and so really making sure that they know that this is a big commitment and that they are expected to be college students that manage their time well and um and don't procrastinate and and get behind in their coursework um so you know parents don't get too so you know here at the high school you can look up your child's grades on canvas or through Skyward at the community college you don't have access to the real-time grades obviously you could have your student pull up their grades and take a look at it that way um collagen high school it's the same as a regular class parents have access to their students grades through Skyward or canvas um so that's that's perfect in my mind because every every year I have at least 1 student that surprises the heck out of me and decided not to do any horses at all and they signed up for them but they didn't do them and then we have to figure out a different plan uh so currently uh we have 32 Jenkins Junior Senior High School students that are running start um we have 5 that are just within the 2 of the school districts so they reside within the tree the school district but they're not seeking a high school diploma through us um but they attend running start I fill out enrollment verification for for for them each term and then there's 5 ports that are learning students well there were course but I don't know and then there's 81 students that are 1 or more High School courses now most of our students that do running start um do at least 1 College in the high school course so they almost well not almost always like 100% of our students at least in The Last 5 Years high school math and then um usually they do a history or English class with us as well um all of the college and high school courses that they do transfer over to their AA so it works out pretty well as long as they follow the plan the plan that I have written out for them uh and the College counselors don't get sometimes most of the time they do but there's some kids that dust so yeah yeah anyways that that's kind of the the critical review of college in high school and running start other questions any have 1 question uh do we have any kids that take advantage of like taking an ECT classes at the Colville community colleges branch uh not often because typically they are um they're pursuing their AA and so but usually by the time they're Junior they've already completed their CTE courses that they need uh to meet that requirement for high school generation not to say that they couldn't take it as an elective so like sometimes they'll do computer-based courses at the college uh we do have 1 of the students um that is under the Tula School District they are because we're they're not seeking a high school diploma through the trauma School District so then they have all kinds of freedom of what classes and and that student is doing their welding program up there so I heard that there was a student doing a the welding program and I wasn't sure how that fit into like a high we do have 1 student next year and that's what he really wants to do so we have I have a good plan with him because he has to get all of these things done this year in order for it to work for next year so the kids took advantage I think I'm also researching some options there to program but I wasn't on my trip the last time for the trains night I talked to somebody that I a student that was doing it and it was found that very interesting it wouldn't be for every student obviously but there's some that it might do at that moment I think we need to get that information out question so have you done any follow-up or post-secondary surveys to find out of the students that go to running start what's happening you know what do they do next and how did that how did their running start experience for the college and the classroom classes you know did they go end of transferring and uh because the college in the classrooms pretty powerful if you start early you could almost graduate with a degree so when they so following up with them and saying okay A year later 2 year later they they earned that by taking a couple classes then they completed their pay shortly after they graduated something like that I don't know if that's uh something would be good because then you can share that back to the students and then when you have your counseling add this to the presentation oh by the way 80% of these kids go on and they do X Y and Z so what we did find um for some of the students especially students that were going into very specific Fields so a medical field in particular so um traditionally if they were doing running start they would do the AA and what they were finding is that you know for an AA it's 25 electrons it's 15 uh social sciences it's 15 Humanities what they is yes they lacked high school with an AA but then when they transferred over to the University of Washington they Montana State or whatever that they they had taken all of these a bunch of classes that they didn't really need and or not and not but they ended up transferring over more as electives and same with the Sciences because for the AA they only have to have 15 Math and Science but it's but they might at the college take environmental science or they might take um oceanography or something like that and so then they were going to transfer into like 3 bed programs they found out that they weren't getting enough of the sciences that they needed so um the college is getting better now about interviewing the students when they meet with them as well um in order to find out oh you because we have a ton of kids that are about that that's their plan is they're going into medical so instead of doing the AA and we do like this associate of science or associate of biology or they have a pre- n nursing program that type of thing so um we take the chemistry series yes exactly yeah exactly so that's gonna kind of a big takeaway but running start has you know changed a lot too in the last 10 years too in that they're you know they're only it was only a certain amount of students that did running start where now it's like opened up vastly so um anyways well they can do it online that's a big thing that's a big thing for sure thank you okay um the next item on our agenda is the main street senior high school principals report which we got in writing but Sean was I don't have any additional information but I did want to come in the presenters tonight and they really did the on play because I saw them the first document and just the amount of work that they put into that and then to condense it down so it was uh presentable and not of the loaning for bodies took a lot of work so I just wanted to thank them because it did a lot of work thank you well and I I wanted to mention to you just in reading the report that I I thought your information about the idea is for restructuring at Jenkins separately exciting and I can't wait to hear anything we can do to make education more relevant and work for our kids um so the next thing is um Julie's uh guest Elementary principal report yes there's anything that you want to add well I want to add Simonson is back this week on Thursday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 and um he is um reaching back to the training that we had at the beginning of this school year and um talking with staff about what we can do moving forward yeah whether it's your 2 and tier 3 interventions for students so yeah hey Julie just so you know when I became what was here on the fourth um pictures and but um I also had a copy of the packet and I sent it to the board members so they they received the his notes so they know specifically some of the behaviors that they they all have that anyways and improving that uh unifying all the staff in using the same behavioral plans to work with all the kids to kind of uniform that so you all have I think you all um our next report is from Aaron our student Support Services okay all right um and then our report from Sarah with special education have anything to add unless there are questions if there's any questions about your student broke numbers are really cool that was pretty impressive um all right then we are on to Lara and the business manager reports when could you click on the links for those financial enrollment reports we'll see if this works all right so um the first thing I really wanted to point out on report reports is um on the third page the accounts payable expenditures continue to Trend a little bit low on our accounts payable which is expected that's the first thing that you try to shrink down when you're having Financial issues um and our um payroll is still you know transpire every year on the next page as well and our revenues are also trying lower than than we anticipated originally so the um couple Pages Down 2 3 yeah 4 okay so I included this report again this um month so that you can see that we're our monthly um revenues are under our expenditures for every month but 1 so far this year and that was only about 1600 um this no never mind so um so it is typically by now we're seeing a little bit of positive numbers in there um and and we're not yet we just have consistently expenditures over our our revenues um are usually April is 1 of our biggest months to to have revenues be over expenditures that's when we get most of our tax revenue and then also in July and August when our portion numbers are a lot higher they the state gives us a lot more of our portion in July and August than they any other month and they're looking at shifting more of it to July and August right now it's about 22 and a half percent of our portion comes in in those months when schools out and they're looking shifting it to 25% is 1 of the things that they're looking at so um yeah it's the interests of their yeah their fiscal year ends in July so it looks like they're saving money on this year if they push it into next year our fiscal year ends honest so it's so it's it's just a budget terms so anyway to make it clear we don't get the same amount of money every month from the state it varies it goes like this yeah um on our fund balance projection report which don't worry about it right now but uh in September we get 9% October 8% and then we get 5% in November that 9% then 8 and a half and 9 then 9 then 9 then 5 6 and then 12 and and I can't read that yeah right up there too so yes it's a different percentage of what we are due for abortion each month other things like our feder real claims federal grants um those we claim the previous month's expenditures so those aren't based on those percentages a lot of those federal dollars so um it just depends so all the funding and has its own little rules um so let's see on the enrollment Trends report it's the next 1 you see that our um enrollment actually ticked up a little bit for April and we had a couple of kids that were coming in and just we didn't quite have all the paperwork for them so I'm hoping that they will be a couple more students up as well so that is better news for our average right into the air right so it'll still because um like October November we were almost at 800 and now we're taking up to 775 our average at the end of the year those should is probably and still need below 783 but not as much below as it would be if we didn't have a couple of high months here at the end so um hopeful that that'll be a little um a little less volatile so that's that's it knows the next pages are the budget status report that I don't typically will go over because that's in in the detail reports as well so on the last page the um large spreadsheet so the fund balance projection report um currently we're expected to have our fund balance and at near our goal of 7.75% um let me see ya go up a couple Pages 1 right there anyway so we should be a fairly close to our fund balance um goal but as you know we we had um that assigned fund balance amount for 720,000 at the beginning of the year that that means that'll basically be gone at the end of the year in order to make that goal so um you know and you can look at let's see if you can see it in that report right now I'm gonna interrupt you because I have a feeling somebody's not might not know what the assigned unbalances okay so that was money that the district satisfied to out of Esser funds to pay for professional development to pay for a lot of different things additional Staffing SRO things that we intended to parcel out little by little over the next few years to try and maintain things like additional Staffing professional development and we had to spend it yes that's what that additional and in a large part because of declining enrollment that that wasn't anticipated let's see if you can see on the screen what I'm going to look at um go to the previous page that has a total revenues about at bottom nope 1 1 page um there you revenues so um you can see on the on the far left our original budget we had anticipated 14.8 million in revenues right now we're anticipating closer to the 13.6% 7 million in revenues this year um so we're about 1 Point 1 million down in anticipated revenues and then on the next page with the expenditures stop right there well yeah so our um total expenditures on the left uh in budget we had 15.3 million were anticipating right now closer to 14.7 million so we're about half a million less on expenditures but the budget status total let's see projected ending fund balance yeah you can see it on there um so we originally anticipated 5 1. 5 million ending fund balance and that's where we're anticipating closer to 1.1 million ending fund balance now um which is you know because of less less revenue and a little bit less expenditures but um that gets us kind of close to our fund balance goals so um that's what that's looking like right now or to talk about that um another thing on mine was the audit and it was just briefly say that um the everything looked good on the audit we didn't have any um recommendations or things to follow up on so um that has been completed file you're selling yourself short our Auto is perfect the Auditors they can move the state had nothing there were zero areas of concern it was it was amazing and also there's a chunk of that that is Katie they review that everything's done right on the board minutes and the agendas and I mean they review all of that stuff too um that as well as a lot of other people for district that's that are you know it's a lot of people do a lot of work to to make sure those audits are nice and that's great this is an outside agency not part of educational group and they charged us about what 26,000 do that this is the 29th so it's a little less because we do it all remotely so they don't have to travel so we save a little money on that is that something that's done like what's here yes I required to pay for an outside the agency didn't stay long um now Nick I'll have you go over to the budget update documents okay so this first 1 is the form that we used to estimate enrollment for the year as as we've discussed previously our enrollment is um is the largest contributor to our funding and so we want as accurate of enrollment as possible um when our enrollment is is really closed we're really excited because you know we we did our uh our what we anticipated for um Staffing and expenditures should be similar to what we actually are going to have um so the first columns are are actual enrollment um in multiple different years and we start working on this in February so we use our February enrollment for this year um have some calculations in for Rolling that up if you follow the colors down um start with the the yellow so it starts in TK in in those first couple years we didn't we didn't have TK and then TK was counted in kindergarten so it it wasn't in there so that yellow it's 56 students in kindergarten which included TK only had 55 students in grade 1 and then 59 in grade 2 and then 58 in grade 3 so we're looking at are we retaining kids game kids losing kids what's our 3 year roll up what does it look like so our 3 year roll up in in that is 57 kids so I don't have an adjustment for that grade and we are estimating 59 kids in in um scrolling from third grade up to fourth grade next year that budget figure under 2526 so um there's in the estimated adjustment there's areas where TK we're putting 15 in that we're anticipating a class size of 15 in kindergarten we're anticipating another 15 kids that didn't do TK to be in kindergarten roughly so um we're using those numbers to roll up and having conversations with um everyone of the administrators you know that the principles are involved in saying yes that looks reasonable know I think we won't have that how many kids for this reason or I think we're going to have a little bit more kids for another reason um we typically for instance get extra kids in ninth grade because we have several non high schools around us so ballet school May feed in some kids summit valley Evergreen even we get we have 1 from Onion Creek right now Loon Lake feeds up in 6 7th grade seventh grade so you know what does that look like what do we know about what we're going to have coming from the other schools what does that look like and what do we know about who's going to go running start next year that's we lose a lot of kids in the 11th grade in our regular classrooms because a lot of them take those classes at running start we still have portions of them right but um but a lot of them are are doing some other um coursework or going to um ale programs and things like that so um we spend probably a couple months looking at these numbers and and adjusting them and and thinking about them and we roll it out for 4 years the main 1 we're focusing on for our budget is the 2526 here but we do have to do a really high level for your budget um by state law so um we roll those up I talked to Sarah about her special ed students and what what does that look like we have coming from other schools who you talked to um that type of thing are we retaining our seniors or are they graduating then we have typically have uh larger class sizes leaving still then we have arriving so our 12th grade this year is 41.67 students but our incoming kindergarten is 31 estimated so you know we don't have the same size classes even even and those are the ones that are you know Juniors and seniors the ones that are already lower we have you know 56 in 10th Grade so as we're losing those so um our total with transitional kindergarten in February our average was 784 we are in um budgeting 755 for next year that includes running Star Ale regular more and um transitional career so um that's the estimates and then on the next page if you want to go down next so I wanted to have a bit of a look on how we're doing on those enrollment Trends are we uh budgeting way too high is it looking way too low if you go to the graph Nick it's it's um little easier to see so you can see in 1718 we budgeted um a little low and and students came in a bit higher um and then we budgeted quite a bit lower that year but then students came in way higher but it just a little bit lower and they came in a little bit lower than that so it's really it's it's it's all over the place um you know that it's real hard to project and then you know we budgeted just a little lower again but it came in way lower than that was a CO year so you know what do you do about that and we budgeted kids coming back in 2122 and they came back even more than we anticipated and we budgeted really close to flood just a little low and they taking a little more and then we budgeted really flat and a ton of kids came last year so um you know just trying to see what we really anticipate and why and making sure that it's um it's the most realistic numbers that we can come up with and with our in a lot of a lot of the time that we're budgeting quite a bit differences because we have those big classes leaving or we're really anticipating a big plans we've heard from a lot of gardeners and we're going to have a big kindergarten class you know we're we're doing that based on some stuff we're hearing and sometimes it just doesn't happen okay so um we do anticipate having a lot of ready start kits next year we anticipate having um a smaller kindergarten class and uh and we don't anticipate having huge um enrollment gains next year so our budgeted numbers for next year like Saturday about 755 students the district um this next 1 let me see if I missed anything um okay so this 1 is just to a real quick look at where our revenues and where our revenues come from so I have actual year end totals for 222 20324 and then in 2425 since it's not a year end yet I use 2425 budget and our 2526 budget and we anticipate a decrease in state funding of 6% Federal funding so far early on in the budget process to remain pretty flat and then um an increase of about 10% in our local funding and you you can see that in the in the bar graphs too um where we have those Sr funds in the first 2 years the orange the federal funds were held higher and then those shrunk and now um starting in this year are Levy that we passed is higher and that's why our local funds are a higher percentage because we passed instead of 1 million Levy that started 1.2 something and then goes to 1 point right and we did a 6% yeah and it's um the levy is for the calendar year our budget is gross school year so at the end of this year we were still collecting the million dollar Levy and and then in the spring now we're collecting the 1 Point 2 or 3 million dollar Levy so it's it um yeah the the increases um a little behind in our schools so that's that 1 okay so the next street is um just our beginning um numbers for our budget so I did 3 years budget history there so you can see what we budgeted revenues for total and expenditures and what our final was so 2223 we anticipated having um about a negative 100,000 2324 positive 160 2425 we estimated negative form 21 and as we know it's a lot more than that right um so the first run we did on budget um we just took our supplies and services and used the exact same emails we didn't we didn't touch those we updated our state revenues with uh with our budgeted enrollment and the expected legislative changes which that was the governor's budget the very first original budget um I updated to 2.5% ipd for everything updated our salaries to 2.5% 5D increase um and steps that that salary that's that staff members receive on the salary schedules and we removed staff that had resigned at that point so at that point um for next year about a almost 1.2 million dollar deficit so first first uh sign that we need to do more work um Second Run what I what we did is we removed some supplies and services that we've already read reduced right the the mental health the SRO the newsletter uh so professional development summer school um and I re I revised the leave without pay because we're we're seeing in the last 2 years that um mainly because of a family medical leave because when people go and pay Family Medical is it just a new state program um we don't pay them for those days the state pays them okay so we're seeing in the last 2 years about a hundred thousand dollars and leave without pay and so we need to budget for that because we're not paying those people we're budgeting to pay extra Subs so we need to also budget to not pay that and and it was right about 100,000 for the last 2 years and and looks like it's trying to be this year too so that was 1 of the adjustments made there so we're down under under a million dollars yay the third 1 was kind of a first round of Staffing reductions based on anticipated um resignations or people moving and changing that um that we'd heard of in the works that's not making Cuts that's more of um more yeah so and so is probably leaving you know so it's it's some of those things that we think are going to happen so um that got it down to a 9056 000 so this is really really early on in the budget process I haven't balanced programs expenditures to revenues and and entered new data for different things I'm just starting that work this week so um we will have further updates as we go along and um and and make some more of those changes in and nailed that down better so trying to do a lot of that work in the next 2 weeks so that um Administration has tip numbers to go with as far as what we really think we can do um for any custom we can make uh Jason and I have to sit down and have some conversations about what do you want the budget to be for furniture or what he wants the budget to be for uh you know the nurse what you know what what should we do for different areas the building budgets we've already started working on those those are based on enrollment so they'll actually go down a little bit because they are anticipated how a little less enrollment so getting those entered into the system things like that so um yeah that's um that's the next steps any questions on any of them are you around 3 did you include those who had like already notified the district about retirement at that point yeah and what was that point yeah we didn't we didn't have any other than the 1 that was already removed in the first run that had actually notified us at that point so just just 1 that we heard might be and we don't know what state's final budget no and that's getting better know they they they don't look great but um but they will probably be better than what I initially put in the system because I was putting was putting revenues in when I had like the governor's budget or really early numbers and some of the legislative changes are a little bit more than what the governor had just way less than they originally said they might be funding so so I'm hopeful that those will be a little bit better than what I actually have in the system I sent you an email this afternoon about Senate Bill 5263 that passed oh yeah so yes yeah so we numbers we just got those today yeah we do have a little so so some Builder passing now in special ed so we'll talk about those numbers and see what they see what they bring which 1 was that uh 5263 the Senate Bill 5263 it just passed I just got notified today it got past the day of the house which is so the set the Senate's now looking at the house bills and the house bills look at the Senate so now that's passed in both houses so um and that was supposed to increase special special yeah yeah it will but to what level I don't know because they I think they made some adjustments yeah they decreased some of those factors and I I need to I got your email but it was really late in the day no I know it just happened this afternoon much better House Bill yes most significant significantly better but I think they may have tweaked it a little bit so it may not be what we test because it's going to be something which is wonderful so something's better than nothing exactly and nothing did happen and so bills as far as I know that was it that 1 was reduced to like 45 dollars a student or 45.99 which is 45.99 yeah per student is that what you're saying right Which is less than less than ipd um I think it's it's like because they're supposed to increase em Socks by inflation but they don't Define any inflation so they've been increasing msox by significantly less than what we consider inflation which is the ipd yeah so it's that's and the way sponsor increasing for us is significantly higher that's I'll talk about that too I think and that's all I have unless somebody has did that help having up on the screen awesome thank you okay all right let let me know if I need to make some other adjustments to that thank you Laura okay I think we're I think we're on to the consent agenda everyone had a chance to look over the consent agenda any questions it can't be the split screen but is that the title on the top of the Personnel action it it's the Personnel actions and our general payments and accounts payable yeah it's it's those 2 things all the reports much easier to follow on paper it is computer doesn't do it justice option to the consent agenda to approve the consent agenda second it has been moved and seconded to approve the consent agenda all in favor please say I the post motion carries then we are on the student superintendent's report um have nothing to report in this area because I'll be speaking later on so the PLC stuff and the 2 digit plan right that'll be part of what I'm talking about so then I'm gonna talk I just want to clarify actually I did some math it's actually 1 oh good that sock 45 there um before before Jason um there's a deep dive into the budget and some of the implementation and things that we were talking about um I thought it would be helpful to give a little history on how we got here and Dan are jump in if I get too far off so um when 6 years ago when Dan and I came onto the board um we were in a time of great and many of us came to the board for a lot of different reasons but and and this is not to throw anybody under the bus but we as a board didn't feel that things were necessarily going all that well and we had since the community as well and um he talked about a lot of things that we thought were important we talked about communication and how important it was we talked about the culture of our schools we talked about how all of our decisions needed to be student centered and really focused on what was best for students and we learned that you know basically our board in it iteration really didn't have a clear sense of vision it really didn't have a clear Mission it it was um some of our policies were literally 20 or 30 years out of date um things no and it wasn't through negligence like I said I'm not trying to feel like the old board the previous board under the bus but there were a lot of things that we felt as a board that needed to happen and so we worked really hard as a board um we had extensive meetings um to develop Mission policy goals and and try to make our board into what we felt that a school board needed to be um and and it was well it was extensive um we mountains of sticky notes um we included the community we did um lots of community surveys um surveyed staff surveyed students survey from the community um we had a community group that worked really hard on the mission and vision for our district um we commissioned an audit of our district and our services to see where are what we were doing well but what our weak spots were what we needed to work on um and the answers sometimes they were kind of painful it's like you know the teachers are feeling this way or you know the Community feels this and you know we wanted to make sure that we had a district that served our students and that did what we needed it to do um so after months and months of work um and work with the community um we came up well the Chula promise was essentially written by a group of our district plan was was written by the community by the group um with very specific goals for teaching and learning our culture um what we were committed to our students services our facilities our finances um making sure that we are being responsible stewards um and as a board we developed our mission and vision statement and we had a more detailed breakdown um that included like I said our vision our policies um our ideas ideas about Community leadership about being visible about being attentive about being responsible um it engaging into a communication making sure that we were you know clear on our vision and when I say our I mean the whole Community but what we want from our schools what we want for our students um we set accountability goals we said academic goals um we sent government governance and Leadership goals um and we also we you felt that we needed this plan because without a plan um it's really hard to get anywhere right I mean um I I liked what Vanessa said about being proactive rather than reactive right if the if the is just in crisis management mode all the time um you're never going to do what you need to do for your students right so we were trying to be as proactive as possible um and to to put our values right out there and about things that we thought were really important we wanted to make sure that everything we did that the heart of the issue was what is best for students wants to get them where they need to be so that's where these documents came from and these are documents that we review every year are these still the goals we want is this still represent the will of the board the will of the community um is this what is best for our students so um I don't know if anybody has any questions or Dan wants to add anything but you know it's been our our goal to be a communicative open transparent to do what's best for students and to let students Center decisions be the focus of what we do to be fiscally responsible to our community and be good trustees of their tax dollars so so if the board wants to change these things they certainly can write this is this has been the document that is grounded our decisions as we review those but month um October October I'm looking now that with the majority of our board is new I think it'll be good to maybe people's earlier so that we can I mean because we may want to change direction we can change we've done a lot of good work but I've also seen where we put a lot of money and a lot of places and I haven't seen any results yet so are we on the right path and I hope some fresh Minds can help us figure out because we're spending a ton of money we're broke for a lot of reasons I I think we over spent some places but looking back we shouldn't have and that's on me it's these guys aren't responsible you too but um now we're in a position where we're cutting things that we shouldn't have to cut because we were irresponsible stuff we we did I like just review the earlier than later and get the input from the new 3 board members I think we might want to look at a different direction because right now what we're doing is not getting results I mean for for the measures we're using we're not seeing any improvements anywhere we'll have I I mentioned a couple of you about I think about doing another Retreat or something getting together and having whether it's a work session or something to do exactly that I think we can relate review this stuff and kind of okay let's let's back up step and stuff okay now how can we use it so we reviewed it on a schedule with board members that aren't here anymore yeah yeah yeah and this is something we can revisit at any time we don't have to wait till October we can do this yeah can it be at a work session it can work session uh you know we've done Retreats all day retreats in June a couple times with done that so yeah yeah but I mean as far as getting it with the work session you have 2 or 3 hours can you get it done that time maybe yeah yeah well and to be clear we can review these things in work sessions but we can't make any policy decisions unless we're on a regular meeting right you can as long as you're reporting oh right okay we have oh yeah okay but our practice is not to do that because we the board's tradition is not do business during recessions but we can always make exceptions but it's a good chance to talk openly about what changes we might want to see okay well I'm gonna I'm gonna uh transition into uh more detail I think for the board and and the visitors I guess into what um we've been doing so the history that um that to you as presented um I want to 1 of my 1 of the objectives that I'd like to look at is in my brief presentation here is uh that I'd like everybody to improve their understanding of the this the work that school district has been trying to do and the systems have been put in place to to support those achievements looking at the the goals of of the district at this point and then we just talked about where we currently are and we have a meeting later on to change that but where we are at specifically so our our goal is to improve the number of kids performing at or below grade level that's essentially been our our Mantra okay uh the way we're currently doing very successful with a lot of kids but we're also missing there's a lot of students that were not able to reach so for the last couple of 2 and 3 years we've been trying to put in the systems that would allow us to to reach more students and uh so going back so I'm going to talk a little bit about the I'm going to kind of mix the budget with also a little bit about our planning so what things have we been putting in place and then how that's connected to the budget so in looking at this 1 you want to go ahead and pull this 1 up I sent to the board I did like 3 diagrams because my brain was just for like a month or 2 just trying to put us in place so I'm not going to go over all of these uh this 1 right here there we go so the governance team is the board of directors of the superintendent so our our role is working together we're the governance team of the district that's what we do right and what stemming from what Tio just mentioned the goals of what came out of that is what I'm going to talk about Okay so the why behind it all so what stuff behind all the vision and goals and why we're doing that so what we began to do is go down that Journey Through the audit that we had was a curriculum management system audit that came in looked at all of our policies looked at our curriculum looked at what we said we're doing on paper and it's actually happened in the classroom and so teachers were interviewed everybody was interviewed and then from that report we then said okay we've got to look at our curriculum we have to look at the way that we deliver instruction and a bunch of other things and so what I did is uh with a combination I just kind of put this together kind of like the plc so as a professional Learning Community basically is teams so traditional schools work at isolation teachers go to work they go to their classroom they do their thing and then that's it so there's a lot of not a lot of collaboration not a lot of teamwork not a lot of effort in the work now teachers have been collaborating for decades but it's usually been on their own there hasn't been a system that says supported them in that process and so and and a collaboration could be could be to the point to where they talk about business budget and boilers like to schedule but really focusing on student learning right and so for the last 20 years education a lot of Educators have been on on early that on early they've done it and so you have a a mix of it but collectively as a whole district has been our Focus right because a lot of teachers have been doing this specifically but some of them have it so the goal is to get our responsibilities the governance boards to get everybody and so we took on uh the professional learning committee as a district and so now as you know Mondays is that time where teachers are working together answering the 4 questions and trying to do that and we've made made that transitional we made great success in gains in that with that has also come uh the written Totten tested okay so having a viable curriculum having the standards aligned uh before it's uh having them vertically aligned so that uh we know which standards a third grader is going to learn to help them with fourth grade and so on so forth and so the teachers have been working on that and then our mtss are multi-tier system which are also another system that's being putting in place by the now a lot of schools have always had a multi-tier systems um it's common in a various ways but when the whole staff comes together it is actually a more transforming and in that effort and they're still working on that I I don't know if Sean or Julie we never say hey we're there we've got it I think they're in the process still trying to build it okay um we have a strategic plan as Tio mentioned and from that came the 5 commitments um and then from there oh these 5 commitments here which we came the focus professional exceptional professionals I went around and talked to the staff I've done that a couple times but 1 of the questions I asked them I said what's the best way that we can improve what are some of the best ways that we can improve the number of kids performing at grade level or above grade level and professional development is always 1 that comes up so if we want our our students to improve we have to continually help our teachers improve and so you've noticed in in the past and looking at the budget going in the back you'll see we've spent a lot of money on professional development okay can I ask what are some of the other things are that they request or saying that would be helpful to Student Learning curriculum yeah this having a written Totten tested curriculum yep that's another 1 so that's also what teachers know that if they can work with their colleagues and if they know what the standards are that are being taught in the grade level before so they can go on so that progression is another 1 yeah yep um and so this comes to the the budgeting situation because in order for us if you look at this these goals these take it takes people to do this right it takes people to do this work and we do that um so kind of background so what I got here what we ended up with was uh a lot of the principles the principles of the time all they were doing is managing their buildings and I'm not gonna say all but the majority of the time is dealing with discipline and taking there's very little education leadership so there was no uh they were doing the best they could with what they with the time that they had but we knew that if we wanted to achieve any of this stuff and if you want to go to um well not not yet does that maybe in support and we did uh in this community uh there's a high I guess you could say a High um higher than normal I don't know perhaps of needs for uh special education the higher needs are more attention regarding uh student behaviors and such like that and so we knew that if we could take care of those and and pro take care help the the principles so they can be more spend more time in the classroom and more time dealing with uh working with teachers and and the PLC and doing this work that we've we've been engaged in then we knew that if they could do that then we would also see Improvement in those in those areas and so we hired assistant principals it kind of took a little took a little while transition to do that and currently right now we have that in our in our buildings to provide that that culture that behavior culture support and so that our principles could be more in the leadership role uh of taking on student achievement so that's been kind of a where we've come from that's well that's where we are today right so go ahead and go to the third uh this 1 right here so it's interesting is I I played with this 1 a little bit because I also kind of wanted to know uh you know would be a the work that we're doing the transition we're doing so I played with this a little bit we didn't have guaranteed standards we didn't have priority standards so teachers were had their standards they it sounds like they were teaching they they look at the state standards but we didn't have them zoned in right so there's multiple standards for every area and we can't teach them all there's only 180 days you can't teach all the standards so the teachers worked uh this couple years ago identified the focus is that they need to that each first grader need to know to read and do math and so on and so forth and so now we've done that and so we have that the standards are really clear about what we we promise the community that there are students will learn and then we came to the red tan tested which is the curriculum management plan this is really essential and this is what our audit also showed us that uh the pacing the pacing guide and that we that some some curriculum had some subjects had it some didn't but then it's also it it carries that forward now why is all this necessary because if you if students aren't performing you have nowhere to go to see where you're not doing well if you don't have this to look back and say okay our kids aren't are doing well in this area because you can identify that teachers can tell you but if you don't know where to go back what to fix because you don't have anything mapped out or lined out that it makes it very difficult to make those improvements and so that's that piece then we have professional learning communities now we have uh not the teachers haven't been working together per se but now they're focused on the student learning you'll go into I as I report to you every month I tell okay I was in a PLC meeting and they're they're working together so you'll see that's that's also shifted to change in our culture a much stronger uh then we have the mtss which is the been the focus this year you've heard from the schools you heard from guests and and Jenkins now there are still some work to be done so our next phase that we're working on is the grading and feedback system and So based on the standards right so additionally grades are ABC and d and the grading system uh is does not support the system that the delivery model that we're doing right now okay so we have to identify okay the here let's say there's 12 and rating for example there's probably more than that but okay so then when we have a student that's not picking up on a 2 or 3 standards and that's where that intervention comes so now I know what help that child needs and so when we we we learned from the principles about the multi-tier systems of support now what I'm sending a kid to support they're getting help with that specific standard right so this more focus is more generated and the teachers talk about that and their plc's and they say oh they identify okay these students need help with the standard so then they're referred to get that helped in that specific standard so we're much more focused because we have everything aligned right and and then now it's like well the student doesn't is not getting it okay what more we do how can we teach them differently or do they need more time and so those are what the teachers work on and the principles work on constantly trying to figure out to help those individuals students right so there's that piece and that feedback how does a kid and then how does that reported to parents okay the uh report card against Elementary is it common consistent is it you know how's that going so when I talk to teachers it's all over the board it's not basic standards now based on standards so well some some are they have standards okay but yeah when you use the word sum that's that's a red flag okay so what we have now that we have our our standards all the line okay then now we're going to be working next year to to unify the report card so that parents can see it and when they see it it's based on the standards specifically and other things that do but they get they get to come up with that and so now I think I don't know is the is the report card Elementary is it the same Evergreen building no okay no it's not okay so that has to be fixed right because you can't go back and see what's wrong unless have a system that that's out laid out so that's that's what we're working on next year in addition also even though we focused on the MTS the multi-tier system of supports for academics the another phase is behavior work consistent messages do schools give kids on expectations of behavior and how those about every classroom and supported by every teacher because right now the teachers are unified to work with his academically okay you you you learned that their reports but now we have to also have a behaviors to them that's also important okay what consistent behaviors and PBIS most notably in guests who are really strong they have the 1 Step 2 Step 3 step it's almost like a square dance right but they but they now all teachers are using that more consistently and so now you're getting into a system of support that all the teachers are going to find so this unification is really essential to be able to reach those students that we haven't ever reached okay so now you're you're you get a whole staff getting together to work on those okay um now you want to go ahead and jump to this 1 so what I want to do now in looking at um some of the uh when it gets to the budget situation I kind of want to break down how does this all fit into the money similar to what Dan was suggesting you know is it really working so We have basically I I my brain I break down our our Revenue into 3 areas enrollment Levy and then our title title and lot of funding and there's other small Grant factors that looking at the scope a lot of things so it looks at enrollment we have highs and lows as you just saw from from Mars report uh Community growth or lack of growth okay I've been trying to beg the mayor to to to I don't even know if it's he's responsible but I give him a bad time anyways get more houses built in here where's our growth you know we need some growth uh you saw the running start numbers you have those homeschool I've also sent you some reports um I sent you some enrollment reports uh of of kids coming and going and why I think you have those correct you got those okay um then we have public trust and perception of schools they not only we're dealing with local but also yeah just 1 question um on those reports that you did Cent since you brought them up is that self-reported information or is that counselor I'm just curious I didn't know self-reported with a parent submits the request in the online okay I was just curious where that data came from oh yeah so I've given 2 1 was from the choice in and out of the district and the others just kids that are leaving yeah great so I was curious where that data came from yes yeah okay um so we have public trust issues I I don't think public schools are exempt from any other like any other organization we have we have you know we're we're influenced by local and National about what people think about schools right and so we have those issues policies and politics play a significant role and you saw that in some of the the reason why people come to this district and why they don't and then our homeschool numbers are 114 well why is that okay and 14 you being court side no or is that how many kids are homeschooling in the Twilight area the ones we know in our in our district yeah so these are 114 students that aren't in our schools okay because they're being homeschooled and I think so they say that they're either to home school or they're choiced out of that's a home schools home school Katie when you gave me the 114 numbers were they're the ones on your records they're the ones who have submitted a home intended to home school form and there's a number of students on each of those yeah okay just a slash Choice yeah uh and then parent choice Russians much more so in the last at least in my career I've seen significant change in choice you know back in the 90s when I was education just went to school right now now you got running star now you've got the courts which is you know you can do online now and then your school offers so there's a lot more choices for kids okay lot to compete with so these are these enrollment factors are real and I'm just most of you all know this but I think it's important to recognize that that that's their the levy factors so in um let's see I sent you this uh also this is also in the board report uh I think you want it up there yeah go ahead you can pull up the 1 page but you all saw this I we used to have to Corey he updated this as of April 7th and other uh Dan and to know core because he's presented to the board uh twice I think and well not recently the fact that every every level yeah and go ahead and scroll up so looking at the property values this is a really important part about I think we have to understand and the levy funding because for years uh the district has just had a levy you know for this am I looking at here this is a bond evaluation sorry wrong slide um so jumping up the 15% increase in property value this is really important because this will come back later when you look at local assistant effort uh the local effort assistance so local effort assistance so go ahead and go to the next slide but you can see the trend in um in levies that we gone for and I'll get to this Max later there's another slide that talks about it you guys hopefully went to see that but uh we're we went we we the the community has been really supportive by the way this is a great Community it's amazing and they have uh We've increased that by 352 at least these numbers of course these numbers May fluctuate up and down a few bit but that's basically where we're at and then we included some inflation uh for the first time in our Levy because in place that or is starting to starting to beat us up and we're not accounting for it so we're starting trying to account for that inflation and so uh that's where we're at now go ahead next slide um let's go to the next and you can see that we are when we go for a levy amount because of the during these times of the year as we all know our property values went up just skyrocketed that dropped our amount okay uh because uh which is actually it's a good thing in a way um not that it dropped because we'll talk about that later but that we're we're consistently um you know not going above it at least that's always a good thing okay go ahead Nick now now I put this up there uh Dan and T are familiar with this but you can see what other districts are doing and the tax rate situation I want you to remember a dollar fifty why is a dollar fifty so important that's when we get our Levy Equalization okay so it's based on based on law if you pass a levy and uh even though it goes this previous slide so we passed those levies at above a dollar fifty which allows us to get the Levy equals like additional assistance so it's basically the state kicks in extra money if you're above a dollar 50 it's based on enrollment and another Voodoo formula for the state does but it it actually equates to a certain amount of money extra that we get on top of our Levy so if our Levy or the next 1 so for Levy no I meant the other way no sorry I should probably can I do it oh no you have to do it um go ahead 1 more so here this amount 1.352 that's what we ran the levy for at a dollar this was calculated at a dollar 59 okay well because it's the dollar 50 we then get additional money from the state okay I think it was I don't know how much the biggest thing that affects us going under a dollar fifty is assessed value which is done by the done by somebody else yeah it's okay now now go back up to the to the keep going there this so now you can see why we dropped so when we're a1.75 when we drop below a dollar fifty we lose that extra funds from the state okay not all of it but it's a it's a percentage right and so we pass it 59 and then right off the get-go it drops just within months or a week okay now what's interesting is you know based on this community and we'll get to another slide that talks about it later is you know we didn't want to go too high right we don't want to go too high it's too much of a tax burden on our community so we the board has been amazing at finding that sweet spot that balance right but we can't control the assessed value so we're back down to Dollar 44 which means now we're going to lose that extra money okay okay next slide and then this this just shows a comparison with other districts um and you can all look in the packet we will go over all the but you'll see some districts like uh Kettle Falls and 9 Mile Falls they're they're they're going for you know 2 dollars they're going more so go to the next slide so this is what I find interesting because within the law there's also a lot that says that districts cannot tax over a certain level right so you have a levy cap and so this I had Corey put together to show that our neighboring districts and where we're at and what we could what we could Levy okay that we don't live now I'm not saying we we should Levy that amount because that's that's a heavy burden on our community but it ALS shows the amounts of money that we could that that legally we have access to okay so should we like here with our amount so there's roughly about 998 about a million dollars that we could Levy to get now we don't do that because our community couldn't just couldn't bear that that burden right and then other districts are the same Colville I mean they have 1.85 million that they don't access that they could legally write the law allows but they don't because they have a community too that where we're trying to go for what you know what is reasonable and what our community then you have people like Nima Falls who can who are reaching almost their Maps and so most most districts in our community we're kind of the same as they are same next so in the local Levy assistance so in this uh this is what year are we in here 2025 this is this 1 okay so you can see what districts get because they beat the dollar fifty threshold or because of their the formula and their enrollment they get this additional money from the state and we have at times not recently but we've we've had I think 300 10,000 times maybe 2 close to 300,000 of the Lea yeah so when we're a dollar fifty or higher and we get the most we actually get significant support okay and then next oh and then these here the reason why these are zero is because their property value the the values of the community is high enough to where they don't qualify for local assistance and what Corey told me he says we've got to be careful because chwila is inching their way towards that okay they're in some way to where we're becoming an economically according to the state it's not my form of they're saying that this community is going to be uh Rich enough I don't know I don't know the right word is but wealthy have to be able to not be local assistance efforts that's an interesting because of the now if you go back to that first slide where I showed that increase in the value by 15% that more than that increases the less we get evaluated funds so okay I hope that makes sense okay all right last slide oh is there a last slide okay so anyways I wanted I wanted to do that little quick tutorial because you know as with board as we go forward and make decisions these are things that we need considered and the board has in the past you know and looking at the funding uh that we get um let's jump into uh go ahead and throw this slide back um uh I want to look at uh as we talked about the levy here the Lea loss uh let's take a look at the msox so I had this this put on your uh okay and uh it wasn't put in the well you can go ahead and pull this 1 so msox has been a big concern for us uh as Mar alluded to in January February when the legislature tried to kick again we got all these bills and it was like oh great happy birthday right we're going to be good and then those bills started dying and I wanted to get something more clear so looking at this the 131 for that's the msoc the state funds certain categories right technology Library that's what the law is on that okay those specific items that that generate um the funding for him so which is materials thank you very much okay good job you get a cold start at this um so this this is our Revenue based on enrollment based on the formula okay and then this right here is what um what we have what we spend and then this is what we're gonna touch that we fall short on so you can see over the years okay where when we talk about inflation where we talk about costs going up in the state not keeping up with msox you can see now we're in this hole that just keeps getting bigger and bigger and so what what how do we pay these bills then if we're spending the money where does it come from comes from basic education or you're living and so we all know that and so that's that's kind of also helps take a picture about what brand and and that's just the chart there that that shows that so when I when I said that uh we just looked at 81 dollars more the current bill is well a more dollars times 700 plus that doesn't even include that's not all the kids not all the kids because you take out uh running start ale so you now you're down to 500 or something so you do the math not a lot of money it's definitely not 159,000 that's for sure so so then you you look at your basic budget or your levies and you you start pointing the map the moving the game I was just gonna um reiterate that total expenditures on the second line is across all programs that's going to include transportation and food service and Al that don't generate msoc dollars so the 0130 11:34 a.m. so that those are the the expenditures based on the generated you know in in the areas where we generate those Material supplies and operating cost Revenue so that's why those are different but it is interesting to show both of those but that um that second line and the first chart is everything it isn't and to you know you're not expected to pay your food service supplies out of your Amazon do you have your food service fund for that and you're you know Transportation fuel and transportation Insurance are paid out of that they're paid out of Transportation or things that were paying out of title or special ed or you know different programs those um aren't in there in the bottom chart and the bottom numbers so just to look confused you know that didn't help me so what what she's saying is like food service right so food service we have Brands uh that but they're all part of that same general category so we're deficient but we have grants that pay that extra so we're short here the top line is all material supplies and operating costs all but the the second to the last line that's the ones that are expected to pay be paid with those revenues in the Top Line Okay Okay the reason why these are higher but these we have grants and other funding models that yeah and I've seen the spreadsheet I see that now I understand what I'm looking at okay so when we uh kind of touching on on um Edition other funding so you have title and lap so looking at trying to project which is very difficult trying to project where we're going to be with title and lap next year um looking at local system an effort I I did arrange because you don't really know right you don't really know the exact number but looking at the range of uh local um effort assistance based on that dollar fifty and our enrollment we could we could lose 52 to 150,000 next year that's projected it could be as low as that 52 but it could be as high as 50 so we have to factor those elements in as well that includes losses over what we budgeted this year and what looks like we're actually going to receive this here oh yeah that kind of kind of includes 2 years yeah well and since a lot of that is federal funding and we don't know what's happening as far as our funding goes oh I haven't got to that yet sorry I skipped back up to here okay I just want to make sure that I was I uh I wanted not at State yeah um title uh we're looking at uh 40 to 50,000 lost entitled 1 um and then other uh about 45- and then lap uh 34 to 146 this is a range obviously based on enrollment and calculations which Mara and Aaron worked and tried to compare numbers and there was just almost yeah we're comparing them 2 different ways and some something's messed up in the factor so we're really hopeful that our our 146 is wrong right and that our 34 is correct right and with the title funds they are federal funds and so we made those prediction based on the if if things we received funds in a similar way we have previously um the title funds are strictly based the community census data we have there are no reports or things that we can do that will change what we can get through title books um it is completely out of our hands um and so they use a um a celebrity percentage for based off of census data um within the community and with as that number decreases which is what we're seeing we received less funds so um from last year to this we saw a decrease of about 3% in that number so from about 20 20 point something to 17 point something so the percent the poverty percentage for next year that is released is just over a full percent again Lower so down around 16 and so we used that as a gauge to say well we would expect that that to be reduced again because our pocket were I'm almost done uh so going here the title so our Revenue jumping back over now to what we've been trying to what we've been working on this a few years in the district providing the right Staffing leadership in order to support our goals to support the systems including in place was a necessary uh uh move to make um and then the professional development I didn't list them all here but these are a lot of the Investments now thankfully the fur funds we've we've been able to use the Esser funds to cover a lot of this because we couldn't manage this without that but we've got a lot of stuff in place thanks to that that those funds okay especially the systems that support that we have and the curriculum and the and most of the work has come to that and we still have uh you know to guarantee student learning we still have to continue to build our our systems uh common assessments our instructional practices and so that's going to continue to to to work towards that and uh I think overall that's kind of kind of takes what to presented and kind of gives you another stronger idea about not just the funding how it's all connected but then what our goals are and how can we support those with the funds and that's that's and so now as we go into this this uh situation to where we now have to make cuts we have to look at okay so when we if we were to cut teachers and programs as we just heard from our guests today what are those impacts to be if you cut uh you cut a Administration if you cut teachers classified it doesn't matter whatever you whatever we cut is going to impact the work we're doing there's going to be an impact um as we witnessed from our cup uh our presenters today um if you if we got if the assistant principals were cut which is very very possible then who's going to who's going to leave the work because your principal is going to be doing discipline and other things so there's a sacrifice you make whatever decision that you make right so I'm not here to say anything other than we're all aware that when something happens there's a consequence and unfortunately it's not a place we want to be in I its it's it's tragic but these are the situations I always say hope is not a strategy but I've been hoping that the legislature would kick in some money I mean just a few hundred thousand would save us from a lot of lot of damage so hearing that I'm I'm anxious tomorrow father Mara that plus run those uh that that bill just passed when does that look like for us because every every every dime we get more means less Cuts we have to make okay that's all I have any questions great questions I do have a question or I have a statement yeah you know this is the ideal world of what we want to game right so obviously our ideal world is not going to work now it's just not we don't have the funds support what we have on that board or or it needs to be reduced yeah no we can't we can't Jason it's unsustainable I mean we're on a trajectory down eventually it's going to come back up that's the way school systems work they go up and down the contract and expand but right now that's not what we're talking about it's not sustain able right yeah to to to talk about title we're talking about laugh we're talking about all these things being cut we we knew last year that the in stocks were a big problem and in the fall was it was very clear that their connections in the senate in the house like they're not going to fund them socks they knew last fall that the likelihood of us getting them socks were pretty small just because of the chatter within their groups and their yeah oh my I'm sorry the legislative group I or not belong to they send me all emails right so they they knew yeah they knew in the fall that we weren't going to get that money more likely unless some miracle happened so what we're looking at right is not sustainable model right so I mean ideally we have the coaching or the assistant principals to free up our principles but if that's not sustainable so correct yeah so then we need to decide is do we want to cut 6 teachers and lose our FFA program right and keep our our so the system principle so we have someone know 1 to coach right I mean that's a question we need to like needs to be right on the table right right here's what I think I don't disagree with you Dan but I want to give you different we have a lot of the stuff that we built that's in place now so as far as moving forward a lot of the a lot of the energy and time and resources we put into place we don't have to repeat that so we're in a good spot to where a lot of the the structures there now it needs fine-tuning it needs to be we need to continue on some path but I don't think we we need to even if we did have the money that we would have to invest in a lot of the stuff that we've already done it's just a matter of okay so now we do have to step back and that's what we're looking at right now okay so now that we have a lot of these structures we have the we have you know the plans in place now we just need to do them so how can we do them with less people and which people I think you're right do you have to talk about that I would also like to mention like things like change like a total restructuring of grading policy at a time like this to me seems like completely insane but um just throwing that out there uh there's already a lot of stress with them on staff that I've talked to about even having a job and we're throwing like hey guys guess what you're going to do this whole completely different thing um what's your some of the things as what I was a staff member here so previous staff member speaking but I love her District that let me do a lot of more of my own things and left me need to make the professional decisions that I felt best for my classes and I felt a lot of pressure and a lot of um like you're not doing a good job as a classroom teacher with this model so I just want to make that a statement also yeah no it's great it was the the tents not to make teachers feel like they're not doing a job the intent is that if we work together in in teams we can we can reach those kids I can tell you on Monday mornings that put a meeting meeting on my plate when I should have been in a good mood figuring out my plans and it was here's more on your plate here's more on your plate here's more on your plate and I think a lot of Staff members would agree with that and that's part of the reason I decided to join the board is to yeah help provide some of that feedback to you guys oh perfect that's great well we can talk about that we can see what that is Monday mornings that you've you've been in the district that Monday morning is PLC time that was created for that time not not it wasn't prep time was created for know I know but I'm saying that you had mentioned getting lessons and doing lessons but that time is for teachers to work together I clearly understand what PLC time before but I'm saying the structure of adding additional work to teachers play on first thing on Monday morning is a very maybe it's just me Monday mornings are a little rough right I mean I think it's everybody sure but to have uh you know district office staff come in and say like hey you've got to do all this to get this and I just do here and talk of forms are due and all of these additional things right are and as board member I haven't heard anything about Chaka forms uh or seen any or anything other than when I was a teacher I had to turn them over regularly right so I felt like there a lot of dog and pony show in some regards and putting the cart before the horse in terms of like maso's hierarchy of needs and we think about what the district needs what teachers need to be successful in the classroom because audits identify that that was something right that there was some struggle in I'll take it yeah constructive criticism okay but then do things that actually help teachers meet those needs yeah providing that support for that yeah okay great well we'll have those conversations be great yeah okay are they valuable yeah any anything else great comments are thank you okay all right there you go time is yours back to you okay so we are on to Old business um the items that we have on Old business is to look education company um reading curriculum and I don't know if you've had a chance to look over the letter from Amy Bergman um on the scene that did the heavy duty research and the piloting and looked into and recommend adopting this curriculum located in the board packet is that so I think it just might have been right but like 2 ways I think we also put a copy our copy was this written as there's submission to you guys when that or was that written after we voted to postpone this was uh just given yeah this is after last yeah between last 4 meeting this work so this is recent was just not dated so I wasn't sure oh yes just give it to us see when they had it okay yeah well I recognize the hard work they put into this and I recognize that the you know we need new curriculum as time goes along we meet we find shortages or shortcomings and stuff we've done but we're in a budget crisis and I have a really hard time spending money that we don't have and you know I don't think I've ever voted no looking back there sometimes I should have voted no last year to save a little bit of money ahead of time and I think this is 1 time where I don't see where we can if I'm torn because I understand they put a ton of work into this and they really need it but we're also ripping people and I can't I can't see us spending money on stuff that isn't absolutely necessary well we're going to cut our FAA Bay or we're going to cut this we're going to cut that um since I've been on the board all we've added is you have a question I I have a comment for your done okay um you know we've added we haven't added teacher we really haven't added teachers in 6 years I mean maybe there's a bump here 1 class we had a TK because that's no funding group but in reality we have not added teachers overall maybe 1 year 1 there I'll I'll look at that I I'm I'm pretty certain yeah I'll kind of keep track but we've added a whole bunch of admin a whole bunch of admin like maybe 4 so I think that I'm not a big proponent of spending this money since we're broke right anyone else before she knocks I asked Jason earlier what it would cost to keep the cricket in what we have for another year you know we had to go because they need curricula you know I mean we want support you but right now we're looking at losing your peers and I told Jason earlier in my house and I don't have any money I don't buy the car and I I don't I don't want the grade school teachers to think we don't support them but at the end of the day I think we have to figure out where we're going to be in 3 months and and go from there and I mean it might not be fair it might not be the right thing to do but look at it we're looking to get rid of people that are going to be valuable to this community I mean we just sat here unless something you know fear fear of losing and I can't vote for um I 1 of the things that we set as a goal at the board was to you know improve students abilities to improve I I hate to say test scores but that's the easiest way to measure it um but you know to improve student learning to get our kids to standard and the reading for example that we have is substandard it is is not based in what we know about the science of reading it's got big gaps in it um it's not the best way to serve our children and it's not currently vertically aligned with the things that happen in the later grades um you know we know that we need we need something that's coherent that is got that aligns to those written taught and tested goals that we set up and um you know we know that what we have is insufficient teachers are scrambling to try and fill the holes and it's unfair to put that kind of burden on those teachers as well I mean they are they are supplementing with all kinds of things to try get this to work and you know our our children suffer when they don't have a solid curriculum that is based in developmental science and what we know about how children learn how to read it's absolutely that we fundamental to their success and frankly it's a reasonably it's it's not a huge expense I mean I know I I don't buy things when I don't have the money either but you know we're talking about a curriculum is going to last us for a very long time um the expense is spread out over a couple of years and you know we need to do better for our kids so now I would like to honor the work of our teachers and what we need to do and adopt a curriculum I agree with you too that we do that teachers do deserve good curriculum but we can't afford it that's been proven clear if we're going to lay people off look you mind if I share some of the data that you and I yeah oh yeah so Luke and I had a conversation about this to look at okay what what's the cost right what do we like adopting this curriculum compared to where we're at right now So currently in our in our District budget we spend about 145,000 a year on on instructional materials right for all subject areas rather than every year and uh you know you have science you've got math you've got history you've got you know they all come and flows and then they come in you buy the license every year so usually the startup's high because you do training with that materials and then after that every year you buy materials uh and so that that so wonders is the current uh which Tails referring to is wonders is the current Elementary yes Ela curriculum and so that's been outdated for quite some time uh and so the research they all did was to find okay now that this is about how how how long have you been using wonders 6 oh 9 years 9 years okay so now even though wonders has updated you know obviously they're not wonders isn't selling what they had in 9 years ago because those companies wouldn't survive if they didn't update them but through the research they've discovered that this this is much more advanced and much better so that's why they chose it right um looking at the numbers so if its 72,659 over 2 years 25 of that is that that training fee upfront fee right the remainder of it is spread out you know for those 2 years which is um if 10 more thousand dollars essentially a year so right now we spend 15,000 and um uh on that 1's curriculum at least that's it was last year 14,900 something and I would imagine if we were to renew that again for next year so they have access to what they currently have probably roughly the same I don't know what inflation might be so um just I wanted you to have those facts as well so those 45 so uh you know this would bump us up to 60 something um yeah it doesn't so much bump us up because we have a curriculum we build a curriculum adoption budget and we did lower it last year yeah to um to be a little more economical but you know that's what we budget for between curriculum and curriculum adoption so it's not like in addition yeah so much as it's just this is the adoption this is already built into and this is actually paid out of next year's budget says for next year's students next year is great well but we build in curriculum adoption budget because we continually adopt yeah so aside from the training um it's you look at additional training is 25 but you're looking at addition to 10,000 I think that's 10,000 a year yeah additional in the next 2 years other than the training right and so I know that people have mentioned the cost benefits you know what you know do you do you provide teachers with a viable curriculum that has again to identify the needs that carries along through K5 that's consistent so a child gets the same instruction same strategy so they can you learn better in those situations and so you know for the for the kids that are here right for the teachers that are here is that is the 10,000 or the 25 up front training so 35,000 you know and that's what we that's what you're deciding right is the cost benefits I just wanted you to have that information that was a conversation but then I had so I figured it'd be good if you guys all had that same information so just to make sure I understood what you said Jason if we adopt this curriculum the net cost increase over what we are already doing is about $10,000 a year not laying out 75,000 in the New York okay well if lenders there's no training because they've all been trained although every time actually that's not true okay sorry 9 years ago so the people who are still here and then intermittently we've been paying for training right we do want to yeah the onboarding part so when a new staff member comes we train yeah so there's that element I I haven't but in my 5 years I haven't received the training so just even when we didn't have budget crisis you didn't so as a as a reading teacher a reading interventionist what I would like the board to know is in my experience there's nothing more complicated than teaching a child how to read it and by not giving our teachers updated curriculum that can teach little children how to read we sending the children to the middle and high school who don't know how to read and I presented a you know it was about a year ago that I presented a report saying look I've got 25% of the junior high identified disabilities and do they have disabilities some of them sure do and some of them have just not been taught how to read with a guaranteed and viable reading curriculum and that's 25% that I'm getting in that we're going to serve in especially education classroom but there's still another 10 or 15% of kids who are reading 3 or more grade levels behind when they get to Junior High and they can't read the material so um you know I I do not envy your decisions and I understand that it's a lot of money but um in elementary school isn't worth very much if we can't teach our kids how to read and write now if you look at our scores yeah a lot of kids who cannot read and they cannot write is it a guaranteed thing that this curriculum would do that it's guaranteed Silver Bullet we need it well I don't think I don't think anything is right I don't the Silver Bullet you got the current curriculum we have with when they came in and did the audit they said do you use wet I mean what we have now just is is ineffective and so what we really have now is we have wonders as our curriculum that we use and then we have teachers who go out and do their own you know teachers who do this training and teachers who go find this thing on Teachers Pay Teachers and it's it's scattershot it's ineffective and it's it's not fair to our kid it's it's not fair to our kids you could I'm not a high school teacher you could put me in a high school and give me the guaranteed standards for history and I might be able to find things and pull things I could never do that to teach should be getting bigger if I didn't have the materials in front of me I just it's it's like brain surgery it's the most complicated thing we do in schools it's incredibly difficult in our I just I think we can't for that to do it and I I know that you're in a horrible position another issue is equity I think people talk about that and providing you know do we want our kids having education based and the teacher they get we should be a district where no matter what teacher child gets they're going to have that same support that same curriculum that same instruction and so that's part of what we've just been talking about is that viable that consistent curriculum that every child when they get are going to get that education and recognizing the individual professionalism of each teacher which is a gift right because every teacher is different but some of the core instruction this is all and you've you've seen the research or if you haven't I'll share with you there's books and volumes of it we know that we can do better with more kids again right so we're very successful with a lot of kids but there's a lot of kids we consistently do not serve so this is 1 of those areas that we know the research says that we can and the evidence says if we do this it's not a guarantee Opera you're right you can't ever guarantee it but you can work as close as you can to be that consists in that in that learning process there's things you can do to get as high as you possibly can and that's that's our effort that's been our goal Dan and to know that's been our Focus uh is to get there you're right individual teachers you're right but having them work together with a b a similar curriculum is powerful and I think that's what what I'm saying is wonders has really cool stories it's really hard to teach somebody to read using John we're using I was wondering if yes it might be something that the board would maybe table and so we know it's going on with yeah our staff and as we get a little bit closer this says that's not app option in addition so I love science and and I think science is amazing and I know this sounds like why why are you even talking about it I would be willing to give up our science curriculum and take the cost that we give out for um having science tubs at the elementary to offset the cost of a reading curriculum because if you can't read it's difficult to access your math it's difficult to do just about anything so you have to be able to read and and that that is our number 1 um priority at elementary is to have little people that by the time they believe the k6 Continuum and they launch into middle school high school that they're able to access the material so that they can find their passions so that they can become action-oriented citizens right and so I would be willing to like not have a science curriculum because that's a that's a overhead that's a bow wave that's something that we have to pay out every single year and so if we need to look at our curriculum our costs and offset I I would like I would like to have the time to do that because I feel so strongly about the fact that we are not serving our students at Del Elementary and as a staff we have known that for several years and we have been waiting for our opportunity to adopt a new reading curriculum and and we want to put students first I I want to put students first and I I very strongly about that so if we could do that that would be amazing so is there a question on the table about the possibility of putting that tabling it for another month until we know what kind of actual decisions are going to be made about the risks well and I I have a question too which just is about the lead time for ordering this because I I know that there's also just like we got to put your order in to have it by the time the school year starts so I've been talking to the um the rat and keeping the the company of appraised of what's going on and um I talked about the resolution to rev and um the fact that we we were hoping to have a curriculum however like they understand that and so they're they're thinking that they can get the materials to us in a timely manner Mei Mei is like pushing so what may work May would work that way we'd still be able to do it and then okay well at that point we know oh yeah much closer yes question there's just popped in my head you identified something that you don't need this is much better than what you have well I would rather have teachers go to Teachers Pay Teachers or to sign or create or innovate in the area of science then the area of reading okay like brother you know right okay but I'm just so we're clear but what other things in our district do we have like that that we could there's got to be places to save money you have to call to Ocean well you've seen us cut a lot already yeah I think yeah but you know I think there's some of the things we could have cut earlier Jason and there's things that we approved last year as a board that we went ahead and went along and bought more than we should have got more stuff than we should have I mean we've done things in the past that weren't really appropriate and you know okay if if I guess that's the question would be do we want a table this sounds like like a given table based on that with your table for another another month I mean my decision is not going to change in a month about laying people off versus purchasing even though I understand that is completely needed and that's a hore horrible timing for all things considered but yeah and I concur I'm not going to so I mean we can put up that for another month too but table so um as far as communication with you guys I don't know if there's anything that anybody wants to talk about as communication review goes um I can tell that my my board email is working really well but is there anything that we as a board need emails don't go to me like uh anybody that types going in on the website it goes immediately to junk and I just wanted to tell the other new board members that you want to check that even if I click don't or like whatever the little table is to like keep it coming to your yeah so we're getting emails I've been getting emails I've been getting it I sent you an email have you I did I'm not getting I didn't get it till Becky asked me and then I deep Dove surged sent myself a test email and then figured out that it so some of the emails I have to go back and look but you've been getting I'm not getting what they're sending emails through that I'm not getting it's also super confusing to find on the website it took a lot what were you referring to to be able to get to their email addresses are not listed to be able to get to their addresses on the website you have to submit it through informing so I have no idea but it actually goes through and I was getting and you can't email them back see I've received those forms um it it sends me a message from the website company it doesn't say the person's name it's it they they fill out their name in the form um I'll have to investigate why yours are going to junk because mine don't um we don't put no no we don't put most emails on the website in an actual written out form because then spammers use them so that's the reason for the form we we can change it if we choose to it just would be an increase in spam um well and I I've got emails and I've been able to obviously a setting somewhere unless they know if they email it to your direct email it works like if I if somebody sent it to my direct email that web page there they are they're in the junk mail yeah so this so um these I apologize for not having those okay on the website if they go to this if you click that does it bring up the form for staff it's a form they have to fill out I'm not sure what the school board's the same well that's the way the listing oh yeah it does the listing post is designed but we all the same email but we can't reply on purpose because that would burn into a poly meeting right so we can't do that but we need to fix this so it comes to our inbox instead of the junk mail so this is what I get okay yeah and I because mine do come through so I'll often investigate why they're going to junk for other accounts okay let's let's double check that even like Dan said on I've got a lot of them good thank you thanks for bringing that up we'll look we'll look into that so we can all last anything else about patient and yeah let's make sure that's okay I'm gonna I'm gonna try emailing you all through this form just to see I did a test it goes to junk and then I click the please don't consider this junk and then I do a new test I like generates a new like sure it's gonna have like a different so it's it's sort of junk okay okay I'll do some tests too so send some practice test um new business um we need to improve the district comprehensive

on a school calendar so having that opportunity for them to come in and take a GED test in the summer and it also does allow us to play in some additional FTA funding if they had not been playing
