00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:48.559
Okay. Okay, we're going to call this meeting to order. Start with roll. >> Director Anan Wubo >> here. >> Director Assad Lucas >> here. >> Director Batistelli >> here. >> Director Goldstein >> here. >> Director Marsh Holshen.

2
00:00:48.559 --> 00:01:04.799
>> Here. >> All right. I will entertain a motion to approve the agenda >> as stated. >> So moved. >> Second. Director Anan Wuo. >> Hi. >> Director Assad Lucas. Hi. >> Director Bastelli.

3
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:24.320
>> Hi. >> Director Goldstein. Hi. >> Director Marshin. >> Hi. >> Okay. Uh, rise if you're able for the pledge of allegiance. Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic

4
00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:40.720
for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay, we have Miss Leisel Reid here who is going to recognize our um

5
00:01:40.720 --> 00:02:05.680
participants in the state spelling bee and I'm going to come down here and give you >> the microphone. >> Yes, please. Okay. So, every year, hundreds of

6
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:23.360
thousands of students across the country start their spelling bee adventure. And in Colorado, thousands of students compete. They first compete in their classroom B, then their school B, then the district B, then a written B, then

7
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:38.319
another written B, and then finally the state spelling B. And really out of those thousands of students in Colorado who start their adventure, um, only a handful get to actually compete at the state B on the stage. Um, so I believe

8
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:56.720
this year it was only 24 or 25 contestants that made it all the way to the stage. Um, and so we have three in Adams 12. You all know that Adams 12 is quite the spelling powerhouse for the past few years. Um, and so we uh could

9
00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:14.080
not be prouder to have so many students represented on the stage at the state B. So we have >> and come and get your award here when Miss Reed reads your name. >> We have Ranch Tandon who is a rising

10
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:43.120
seventh grader at Prospect Ridge Academy and parents will make sure to get pictures afterwards with everyone. Um, we have Samria Barani who is an a rising eighth grader at Prospect Ridge. And we have Aia Muth Kumar who is a

11
00:03:43.120 --> 00:04:04.480
rising eighth grader at Holstrom K8. And um, I just want to say congratulations. Um, spelling was probably my worst subject. And I would wonder, does anybody have any of the three of you have any tips for us of how

12
00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:24.080
do you decide how to spell a word? Especially if you don't know the word, >> they know all the words. >> Do you memorize every word? >> Um, I think I just basically go with my gut. I mean I study for um each and

13
00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:39.520
every spelling bee but I mean I use like I ask questions I use like the part of speech and language of fortune and sometimes that helps me sometimes I know the word sometimes I don't and I just like go with the definition and that um

14
00:04:39.520 --> 00:05:01.440
very helps me. Yeah. Thank you. Uh, the only tip I have is that Greek means a lot of O's and then I just guess the rest. I sort of just cram everything into the last night like everything

15
00:05:01.440 --> 00:05:16.960
you guys because I know spelling rules are there are no rules. Um, anybody else have any comments they want to say? >> I just want to follow up on the question thing. So cramming is definitely a part of preparing for lots of things in life, whether it's going to trial, taking a

16
00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:34.479
final exam, or doing a spelling bee. But can you talk a little bit more about how much preparation you do throughout the year or during the season getting ready for the B? How much work do you feel like you spend on a daily basis or over the course of a week or a month to get ready? Usually an hour or two or maybe

17
00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:53.039
more if >> Yeah. >> I normally study like two or two and 1/2 hours just like sitting on the sofa studying. Um I just study as much as I can mainly like 3 hours like on mostly on weekends

18
00:05:53.039 --> 00:06:09.600
and weekdays. Sometimes I do more on the weekends and yeah, I just study like the lists that like are required to study and yeah, that helps me. >> And your older sister was also a spelling champion. Do you help do you help her study?

19
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:25.440
>> Yeah, if if she'll take my help. >> I just love those answers because I think a lot of times when it comes to success in a lot of things in life, including spelling, people chalk it up to just natural ability. and you may have some skills and talents

20
00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:42.680
that lend you to excellence in the space, but without the hard work you're consistently putting in, you wouldn't achieve at that level. So, congratulations not only for your success, but for the work ethic that you're bringing to this that can carry through to so many other things in life. Really well done.

21
00:06:45.039 --> 00:07:01.520
>> And I was just going to say to the young lady in front, I remember one year ago when your sister received her award. But I looked at you and I said, "You're going to be here next year, aren't you?" And you said, "Yes, I am." So, thanks for that. I also would be remiss if I

22
00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:18.720
didn't say thank you to Director Ana Mugu for actually attending the state spelling be. I think he thought he was going to be there for a few minutes, an hour, two hours, three hours. I think we were there for four. So, thank you for making the drive and attending um in

23
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:45.599
support of the students. And thank you to all the parents and family and all the work that you put in every year. >> Yeah. >> I do. So, are you all going to study this summer, too, or you taking a break? >> That was going to be my question. Are

24
00:07:45.599 --> 00:09:04.880
you guys taking a break? >> All right, parents, friends, family. Congrats. Okay. Okay, on to superintendent update. So I think you all know that I just

25
00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:20.800
returned uh from a grand adventure in Africa and so I've uh not had the pulse of the district as intensely as some others over the last 10 days or so. What struck me during the time I was away is just a profound loss that we had in our

26
00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:37.360
community. So we lost uh a young student Asher um in a senseless murder who was a student at Rocky Top. We lost one of our new high school graduates from Thornton High, Paige, in an auto accident. Um, over the last two weeks, we had a

27
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:53.200
seven-year-old student that one of our assistant principles at Meridian attempted to rescue uh in a drowning and performed CPR on that child uh for an extended period until the first responders um were able to respond. And unfortunately, that student ultimately

28
00:09:53.200 --> 00:10:10.160
passed away. not an Adams 12 student but a member of this broader community in Broomfield and then one of our former principles Tracy Telinger lost her husband within the last two weeks and I think Chad was a student perhaps of u Lor's in the past

29
00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:26.079
so a lot of loss and a lot of sadness in our community as we start the summer season and just ask that all in our community who know those um who are grieving that they reach out and provide love and support and care and concern at

30
00:10:26.079 --> 00:10:41.680
this time. It's been a hard way to get started on summer. Beyond that, I do know that we've started to get some of our academic achievement results in on CMAS and PSAT, SAT. We'll have more definitive info on PSAT, SAT next week

31
00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:57.360
because there's some demographic sorting that's getting finalized at the CDE level in the next few days. But the achievement data preliminarily to me looks really good. um on a year-over-year basis. The growth stuff is where the money's at. That's where we

32
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:11.760
add value for kids, and we probably won't have that data until August. But achievement looks good, and I look forward to sharing more about those results with you here in the next couple of weeks. That's it for me. >> Thank you, Chris.

33
00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:28.480
Okay, on to board of education comments, recognition, awards, and visions. We will start with Ike. >> Thank you, President Goldstein. Good evening everyone. Our last meeting of the year um finally made it. So, um and

34
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:43.920
it's been an absolute honor and and pleasure to serve uh with great colleagues and serve our Adams 12 community. Um my first year is is over. Um and and I'm thankful for the the opportunity to be here. Um,

35
00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:59.120
one uh update I have is I had a chance to go to the New America School graduation in Lakewood and it was all three campuses and it was inspirational quite frankly. Um, I I'm still you know thinking about a student from I think it

36
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:16.000
was the Aurora campus. Um she came from Koala Lumpur, Malaysia and uh she did not speak any English four years ago and her fellow students and she volunteered to speak in front of all these people during graduation and she was so moved

37
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:31.279
in in speaking in front of them that the principal had to help her finish her speech. She was just emotionally, you know, just just really moved. Um and she is going on, I think, to DU for nursing. So, it it was really inspirational.

38
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:48.000
These these are kids that, you know, I can relate uh growing up in West Philadelphia. Um you you you don't have all the cards in your favor and and you still have to find a way um to make, you know, uh 25 cents out of five. Um and

39
00:12:48.000 --> 00:13:04.000
they find a way to do that. So, it was really inspirational to see the graduation. Um want to thank Aud Audrey Monaco was there. um and as well as all the other uh there were a couple board members from other school boards as well. Um can't recall their names right

40
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:21.519
now, but it was a great ceremony and and it really left an impression. Um tomorrow we have the five-star event um at Topgolf that Shannon Hancock is is running. Looking forward to that. Um and that should really give us an

41
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:37.040
opportunity to show all the sponsors and all the folks who help us um in terms of the business community uh what they get for for what they give in terms of great stories um how the kids are performing that sort of thing and and to kind of

42
00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:54.959
talk them up. So looking forward to that tomorrow and I think that's all I have. Thank you. >> Thank you. Um let's see. Alexis sent a message that said, um, I'll read it here. Um, just to thank everybody for a

43
00:13:54.959 --> 00:14:12.000
great year and happy summer to our students. Um, and then she just kind of left a personal thing here, but um, unfortunately she can't be here, but she is here. Okay. And then, um, on to

44
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:25.760
Paula. Um, I feel a little silly going after Ike, but I did one event and it wasn't even as an official board member. I went to the North Glenn Goat Encounter and it was a blast. Um, I took my son and they

45
00:14:25.760 --> 00:14:43.279
had lots of goats and um what are those uh the the mammal thing you found in your house that one day? >> A ferret. >> Thank you. A ferret. Uh snakes, reptiles, dogs, all all sorts of stuff there. there and it was a lot of fun and

46
00:14:43.279 --> 00:15:01.360
we had a Kona ice and it was nice to be able to go out and support um you know this city and towards those sort of environmental revitalization efforts. Um and I hope that everybody has a lovely summer and that's it. Thank you uh Mera.

47
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:19.440
>> Good evening everyone. Um thanks for being here tonight in person and online and happy start to the summer. I also was not here last week um not for as cool of a reasons as Chris, but um presenting and attending a

48
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:38.240
conference. So, unfortunately missed last week's meeting, but I think I read through enough and got caught up. Um, so besides, you know, the graduations that were mentioned that we all attended and which are awesome events and uh such an

49
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:53.279
honor to be a part of, I also attended the multicultural night hosted by Thornton Middle um and supported by with uh a lot of the feeder schools into Thor Middle and then Thornton High uh helped

50
00:15:53.279 --> 00:16:07.519
support it. So, it was an awesome event and fun and great and kids were super excited to dunk teachers in the dunk pool and um other events. So, it was a really great night.

51
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:25.920
Um so, yeah, besides that, it's just graduation season and end of school year. I do want to say that my heart goes out to everyone who has been significantly impacted by all the losses mentioned um by Chris. Um

52
00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:40.720
I hope if needed people know they can and hopefully how to reach out to get um the support and uh help that they may need to help grieve and process

53
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:57.519
these um pretty impactful losses. So, um yes, please take care of yourself in ways that you need. Um cuz this is pretty it it it's just in incredibly

54
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:14.400
heart-wrenching and breaking. So, I hope everyone Yeah. takes care of themselves in ways that they need. So, happy summer to everyone and yeah, well, we'll be back with comments in August.

55
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:32.080
Thanks, Mera. Um, it's only been a week since we met, but um, on Friday, um, I attended the memorial service for Peter Zilts. He was an effective needs teacher at Rocky Mountain for almost his whole career, I think. And it's always kind of

56
00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:48.880
bittersweet to go to a memorial service because, you know, you you see what an impact he had on people's lives. He was an amazing person. And I always thought that it wasn't that you know came but just the people that came out to honor him and it was it was kind of personal

57
00:17:48.880 --> 00:18:04.880
to me too because my two daughters went to Rocky Mountain Elementary and so I knew a lot of the staff that had been there then and Alexis was there because her mom worked there and uh got to see some teachers who had retired. one I student taught for for my special ed

58
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:20.559
endorsement, Jodie Simpson, and then um Jeannie Aldridge, who was my daughter's both my daughter's first grade teacher, and she was there. And so, it was good to to see these folks, and you know, we all come together for a sad occasion, but we always share a lot of good

59
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:37.360
memories. So, that was good. And then the other thing I wanted to report out was in my other capacity. I went to a bill signing on Monday for a bill that was born out of Adams 12 and uh Joe Ferdani wrote a nice little article. It's on the website about our little

60
00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:53.760
bill. Um Jackie, Representative Jackie Phillips and Senator Kyle Mullika. And then when this whole thing started, I was just a board member on the board, but um you know, I got to be a part of the whole process. And unfortunately, it started out with a lot of big high

61
00:18:53.760 --> 00:19:09.280
hopes, but ended up with just a few things, but they're important things, and they'll help save us a little time and money, and that's always a good thing um in terms of licensing and and for child for our preschool, our preschools that are in our elementary

62
00:19:09.280 --> 00:19:26.320
school. So, that was cool. And that's really all I have. So, I just want to make sure everybody has a great vacation, summer break. take some time to unplug and kids um stay out of trouble and we'll see you back in August.

63
00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:42.640
But we still have a meeting here, so we're on to general public comment. Good evening. The board welcomes public comment to learn about the preferences and concerns of the Adams 12 five-star community. Each speaker will have three minutes. Please use the microphone and state your name and city of residence

64
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:58.400
before beginning your comments. Please give any handouts or information you would like to share with the board to David Wearheim. A threeminut timer will be set for each speaker. Please keep an eye on the time and kindly conclude your remarks when the time has expired. Uh we

65
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:24.799
have one speaker tonight, Jamie Lachley. >> As they're walking up to the podium, I saw them looking around when you announced uh giving handouts to David, and he's the guy in the back with the black shirt on. So if you're looking for any handouts, he's your guy. Okay. Uh Jamie Lley, resident of North

66
00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:42.080
Glenn. Um I have two kids here in the district. Um very odd being on this side of the day and speaking into this microphone. Um but very excited to be here to recognize um President Lori Goldstein. Um she attended our um Valley District um for scouting Colorado um

67
00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:58.480
annual uh recognition banquet last night um as our um 2026 um honore for the friends of scouting. Um we really want to um thank Lori and in various capacities um in her support of the

68
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:16.000
scouting program um whether it's um helping support financially um working with um various entities to um support um through volunteering and um we just wanted to um recognize her um here at this meeting because um we know that her

69
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:31.840
um outreach and recognition of the scouting program um has really been um meaningful to us and um we know that scouting and um education go um hand inand both of us working towards um really raising um youth who are um

70
00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:52.159
leadership oriented and have good character. So just wanted to come and thank Lori um here at the board meeting um for all you do for scouting. >> I'm just going to say I'm Charlie Botnik. I'm the district executive for Valley. So, I uh cover Thornton,

71
00:21:52.159 --> 00:22:09.039
Broomfield, kind of all the great areas. Um Lori has been such a great pleasure to get to know this last couple of years. Um just want to let you know as well in our district, our kind of valley district, we had about 76 Eagle Scouts this year, had about 160 new Cub Scouts,

72
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:25.039
and we started two new packs this year. So, scouting is doing really well, and we really appreciate all that support, and we can't do it without you. So, um, just wanted to say thank you and give you a couple highlights of our year as well. So, >> and I think one of those Eagle Scouts

73
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:41.600
was Eddie Lachley. >> Yes, it was. And we we also want to thank Chris. Chris actually came to his Eagle board and and having folks um participate in those are really important um and meaningful to our youth. So, thank you. And I really had a great time going to their round table last night because

74
00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:58.159
they gave out awards to a lot of different folks and and it was, you know, it just drives home the importance of scouting and the family and the camaraderie and just teaching young people how to be good humans and stewards and and help them to grow into

75
00:22:58.159 --> 00:23:13.760
people that are going to do great things. And yeah, I think everybody should touch scouting at some point in their lives. Um, okay. Thank you so much. I so appreciate you guys coming. And um it's good to see you, Jamie. It's always good to see you, Charlie. Uh can

76
00:23:13.760 --> 00:24:10.400
we take a picture here? This is first. >> Okay. And I think that we have some gifts for everybody up here. So I will make sure you get them. There are those. We'll take care of those. Okay. Board

77
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:26.240
committee liaison reports. Um the only one on here is FAC. And I do believe that Alexa sent a message her report on the FAC. Um, it's in the board report we're going to

78
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:44.720
be talking about later. It's 2.4.1 items, quarterly financial statement and internal monitoring report 2.4, 2.4.6, and 2.4.165C, FAC declining enrollment presentation. So, that's the fact, that's what we're

79
00:24:44.720 --> 00:25:00.559
going to talk about that came out of her um meetings with the FAC. and she wants to give her sincere thanks to all of the fact for all of their continued work and hope that they have a great summer. So that is the fact report.

80
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:15.520
Okay, on to uh monitoring reports. Number one, internal monitoring report 2.1, treatment of students, their families, and community members. And I will entertain a motion to acknowledge that the board received a monitoring

81
00:25:15.520 --> 00:25:32.720
report as of June 3rd, 2026 for the 2025 2026 school year and finds the superintendent's interpretations are reasonable and supported by data that is relevant, justified, and complete. >> So moved.

82
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:49.120
>> Second. >> And Mr. Bana, >> good evening, Superintendent Gdowski, board members. Uh, great to be here again. I'm sorry you have to listen to me two meetings in a row providing monitoring reports, but into every life a little rain must fall. Um, just want

83
00:25:49.120 --> 00:26:04.960
to preface the report with a few comments related to various sections. First on page one, you'll notice one thing to point out is the response rate was down significantly from where we were last year. Um, it's this report is interesting in that it seems to go up

84
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:21.919
and down yearbyear. uh the in the last few years, this year it's 469 uh 4,691 responses. Last year was 50 a little over 5,800. The year before it was 4,400. Then the previous year was 5,500 and then 4600. So we seem

85
00:26:21.919 --> 00:26:37.279
to be kind of going up and down. I spoke with Joe and members of his team about this. There was nothing though kind of smoking gun about that level of response. Um there was one little issue. We try to time the survey window with um

86
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:53.600
school conferences so that we get more involvement that way. Although there were a few schools that did not fall within that window. Um thankfully though related to the survey results this year and Joe I'm sure will go into a lot more detail about this. Eight of the nine domains were up overall from where we

87
00:26:53.600 --> 00:27:09.520
saw before and all the survey questions that are incorporated into this report were either stable or up. So those were positive results. Also on page one, um there were uh one of the um pieces of evidence we use are 1550 complaints. We

88
00:27:09.520 --> 00:27:25.600
had 13 of those this year, which matches what we had last year. So very similar numbers. All have been resolved. Um and the numbers by level varied very slightly from last year. We had four at elementary and K8, three at middle school, and six at high school. Moving

89
00:27:25.600 --> 00:27:42.880
on to page five, uh where we're talking about some of the actions the district has taken. The last number six in the table on page five on the left hand side. One really um useful or new committee last year but then very useful this year is the expulsion review team

90
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:57.440
that reviews all potential expulsions. We've seen significant declines in expulsions. Since that team has met this year we were down about 13% in terms of expulsions than what we had last year. So that was a very positive result that

91
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:15.279
we saw. Um on page six um the one area of this report um that we I'm not reporting full compliance, I'm reporting partial compliance is with disproportionality. What you'll see is that in the two groups that were disproportionately disciplined based on the methodology we

92
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:30.240
use that's outlined in the appendix were Hispanic and Latino students and students with IEPs. In terms of expulsions, it was male students, multilingual learners, and students with IEPs. Um so um while the the discipline

93
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:46.559
um survey data was not negative, we only report partial compliance there due to the not every group being totally compliant. Um on page eight that you'll see that there were four federal and state plates uh complaints that were reported. However, we're reporting

94
00:28:46.559 --> 00:29:03.760
compliance there because all of those are in process of being negotiated. Um, so we feel like that was what we've done in the past. And so again, I'm reporting compliance there is that we're working through those complaints. And lastly, um, on page 10, what you'll see in terms

95
00:29:03.760 --> 00:29:20.960
of on the right side of the table, the right column of the table, the one survey that I would report that is new is we have a new high school end of course survey that high school students are invited to take to provide feedback to their teachers directly so that they

96
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:36.399
can share their thinking, what went well, what could be improved, so that teachers can take that information into advisement when they're thinking about future years. It's given at the end of first semester and second semester. So, this is the first year that it was given both semesters.

97
00:29:36.399 --> 00:29:51.200
Those were the highlights I wanted to point out. I don't know if you have any other questions about the report. >> Anybody have any questions? >> Those the high school end of course evaluate is that I mean is that pretty

98
00:29:51.200 --> 00:30:07.279
much what we see at higher ed? >> It's it's very similar. Yes. So, what happens is it's a voluntary survey. Students get a link with each of their courses. They can provide a survey for each course. And so yes, they what they do is they provide feedback. There are a number of selected response questions

99
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:23.279
and then there are a couple open response questions where they can provide feedback. Got it. >> Director Ana Muibo. >> I. >> Director Assad Lucas. >> Hi. >> Director Bastelli. >> I. >> Director Goldstein. >> I director Marsh Hen.

100
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:38.320
>> Hi. Thank you, Mr. Bay. >> Thank you. >> Okay. On to internal monitoring report 2.6, compensation and benefits. I will entertain a motion to acknowledge that the board received a monitoring report

101
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:55.760
as of June 3rd, 2026 for the period July 1st, 2025 through June 3rd, 2026 and finds the superintendent's interpretations are reasonable, supported by data that is relevant, justified, and complete. >> So moved. second.

102
00:30:55.760 --> 00:31:11.520
>> Hi, Mr. Griffin. >> Good evening. Uh, good evening, Superintendent Gdowski. Um, all the established board members. Um, I am here um, thank you for inviting me forward to speak about this

103
00:31:11.520 --> 00:31:26.320
monitoring report 2.6. So, this monitoring report deals um, as you just um, talked about from the period of July 1st, 2025 to um, June 3rd, 2026. So um the first section has to deal with

104
00:31:26.320 --> 00:31:42.159
superintendent um compensation and there are six se six sections that we divide our information into and I'm pleased that I'm able to report compliance in all six areas of the policy and that there are no significant changes for

105
00:31:42.159 --> 00:31:59.120
this year's report um on how the policy was applied in all six sections. So just as a matter of overview at a high level um I'll go section by section just to give you a few highlights and report compliance and give you a few data points. So um as I mentioned the first

106
00:31:59.120 --> 00:32:16.159
section speaks to the setting of the superintendent's compensation and the compensation amount is in alignment with contract terms that were most recently updated um between negotiated between um the board of education and the superintendent in March. Um, so I'm

107
00:32:16.159 --> 00:32:32.080
reporting compliance for section one. For section two, um, the second section pertains to employment practices. Um, and it regards us being in a place of staying legal and recruiting, hiring, evaluation, promotion, and termination.

108
00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:47.919
And so I'm pleased to report that all employment practices um, have been legally applied. And I'm reporting compliance in that section. Section three um deals with a few different areas of the total compensation package. Um so you'll find

109
00:32:47.919 --> 00:33:03.200
in there starting on at the bottom of page three into page four information about benefits um information about our analysis and our process for setting compensation. Um our um and also our

110
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:20.399
long longevity plans. Um, so starting out on the bottom of page three into page four, there's information on the salary plan review. And that contains data that represents maintaining um a 10% range above or below the market for

111
00:33:20.399 --> 00:33:38.320
admin and classified employee groups. And so the chart labeled salary plan compensation on page four demonstrate compliance for classified and administrative staff um with 10% above or below the market rate. I will point out um that again we're talking about

112
00:33:38.320 --> 00:33:54.159
this monitoring period but as you know we just recently negotiated with classified and certified um groups about um new um salary schedules. There is one data point that's inaccurate that you're looking at for classified and that is um

113
00:33:54.159 --> 00:34:10.000
on the classified that represents that 4.29% is above the market. We're currently not there yet. We will be once the new salary schedule is implemented. um I just couldn't catch it in time before I sent it out. So um it really we are currently in under our current

114
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:26.320
schedule um minus 3.9% below the market. So that is one data point I wanted to highlight for you that was incorrect. Um the certified group um is compared to eight peer districts. And so the chart labeled salary plan comparison on page

115
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:42.000
five demonstrate compliance for certified staff with the 10% or below above or below the market standard for employee compensation on key points um on the schedule including the the beginning salary, the BA maximum and the

116
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:58.000
MAM. And it also includes the, you know, the 26 um 26-year comparison about total earnings over that period. Um where we represent in between that 10% range. Um >> is that with the new salary schedule or the old?

117
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:15.200
>> This is all the current um established salary schedule. with the new um and that's my next point is that um as you know um to maintain competitive compensation and address the structural refinements we collaborated with classified and certified employee

118
00:35:15.200 --> 00:35:29.839
associations to res redesign the salary schedules for both employee groups and similar similar structural improvements were successfully implemented and planned for admin and school leader schedules during the 2526 school year.

119
00:35:29.839 --> 00:35:45.839
So, as a result, next year's report will demonstrate and show that we've gained and made um we will will represent very competitively in comparison to comparison districts. And so, you'll see that update as we have this opportunity

120
00:35:45.839 --> 00:36:04.720
to talk about this monitoring report in 2027. um for benefits. Um this this um really talks about both medical, dental, and v vision coverage as well as leaves and

121
00:36:04.720 --> 00:36:20.240
leaves of absence as they compare um to other districts. And so you have some chart data that shows where we are with our contribution rates, where we're fourth in our contribution and um the contribution of 95%

122
00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:35.040
and as that relates to other districts. And so we're in a very competitive place with how we um compensate and support employees with their benefit package. Um, in the same section, we also include information about the employee group

123
00:36:35.040 --> 00:36:51.520
stipen programs that have been um, long in place here in Adams 12 um, in relation to the certified stipen and the classified stipen and also the administrative longevity program. All of those programs have been phased out long

124
00:36:51.520 --> 00:37:08.720
ago, but we still do have employees who are grandfathered and in receipt of those stipens as they retire from our system. So you'll see the updated numbers on pages seven and eight. And I'll just highlight a few for you. Currently 165, excuse me, 116 classified

125
00:37:08.720 --> 00:37:26.160
staff members out of 1880 meet the eligibility requirements for the half stipen. Um 174 classified members still meet the eligibility for a full stipen. And then currently um 87 administrators um out of

126
00:37:26.160 --> 00:37:42.800
370 meet the eligibility requirements for the ALP program. Um so those numbers are going down. Um and um I'm sure that we'll be able to celebrate in short order um that those will be paid off.

127
00:37:42.800 --> 00:38:02.640
So, we're down to six for the half stipen and what I see 80 something for the full stipen for the certified. >> Correct. Oh, wait. 299. I'm going to get caught up in >> six sounds right for the half stipen

128
00:38:02.640 --> 00:38:20.240
because I just given when we uh sunset that program there's not many people who are in that little window that would just be the half. It's probably six people who are in year 19, I would bet. And then I think it's the bigger number. I'm trying to look at the data in front of I find that on the report. Closer to

129
00:38:20.240 --> 00:38:35.520
300 total. >> Yeah, that sounds right to me. >> It was over 1,200 when I started years ago. So, it's uh it's a substantial obligation that we felt the right thing to do is to

130
00:38:35.520 --> 00:38:50.320
honor it. There's other districts like Douglas County years ago that just scrapped programs like this abruptly. And there's lots of private sector employers that have done similar kinds of things around pension or long-term deferred compensation agreements. We

131
00:38:50.320 --> 00:39:06.560
just felt like the better path was to honor what we said to people who'd relied on it as part of the compensation package, but not to bring new people in. And in the next five or so years, I think this will be really close to zero. and it'll give some greater uh financial

132
00:39:06.560 --> 00:39:25.280
flexibility to the district moving forward. Thank you. 305 total. So, thank you for clarifying those numbers. So, reporting compliance, you know, in the compensation um for section three. Uh moving on to section four, the stat

133
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:41.200
section speaks to the prohibition against obligations that exceed our ability to project year-to-year. So that speaks to the annual budgeting process and not getting beyond um what we compensate and making sure it's in alignment to the appropriate budget. Um

134
00:39:41.200 --> 00:39:57.040
reporting compliance in that section fix the fifth section speaks to the prohibition to incur unfunded liabilities or to create unpredictable or inequitable situations. Um, all of our financial enhancements are budgeted and planned for the current year and so

135
00:39:57.040 --> 00:40:13.599
reporting compliance in this fifth section. And the sixth section is the requirement of a six-month separation period before hiring board of education members to be employees or contractors. Um, and in all sections, as I said at the start, I report compliance and I

136
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:29.520
know of no situations that violate these provisions. So, I welcome any questions about the information that I've shared. Any questions? >> Okay. >> Director Anan Wubo. >> Hi. >> Director Assad Lucas. Hi. >> Director Batistelli. >> Hi.

137
00:40:29.520 --> 00:40:44.480
>> Director Goldstein. >> Hi. >> Director Marsh Holen. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Thank you, Tim. >> On to internal monitoring report 2.10 effective family school and community partnering. I will entertain a motion to

138
00:40:44.480 --> 00:41:01.839
acknowledge that the board received a monitoring report as of June 3rd, 2026 for the 2025 2026 school year and finds the superintendent's interpretations are reasonable and supported by data that is relevant, justified, and complete.

139
00:41:01.839 --> 00:41:23.680
>> So moved. >> Second, >> Mr. Verdani. >> Good evening everyone. Uh, okay. Let's um I know that Dave already introduced a little bit about uh the family school

140
00:41:23.680 --> 00:41:39.839
relationship survey. Um just to add a little bit more to what he shared, this is the ninth consecutive consecutive year of the survey and um I took uh the

141
00:41:39.839 --> 00:41:56.240
opportunity to to look back over those nine years and there are some really exciting things to celebrate. I mean, we've got um in the area of school fit, district environment, barriers to engagement. We're seeing the

142
00:41:56.240 --> 00:42:12.560
highest ever favorability rating in those areas in all nine years that we've been um uh administering the survey. So, that is is definitely uh good news to see.

143
00:42:12.560 --> 00:42:30.560
Uh the report itself has 17 policy standards. The majority of those uh 14 of them include quantitative measures primarily uh coming from that uh panorama survey that we give on an

144
00:42:30.560 --> 00:42:46.000
annual basis. Uh just a couple highlights, more families report positive staff family relationships. Um the district is near the 70th percentile nationally. Uh when we look

145
00:42:46.000 --> 00:43:02.880
at comparative districts in terms of uh free and reduced lunch, uh we're in the the 70th percentile nationally. Uh the district environment category which uh that looks at creating environments

146
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:17.839
where parents can advocate for their students, assist with their students learning uh interact with leaders to provide vision and direction for schools and then family engagement opportunities.

147
00:43:17.839 --> 00:43:34.960
uh that entire uh topic increased uh two points since the last survey with families uh really feeling more empowered to advocate for their students and uh participate in family engagement

148
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:51.280
opportunities. Uh we did not see any declines on any of the survey questions or topics that we monitor. Uh there were questions with no change from the previous survey period. Uh but it's

149
00:43:51.280 --> 00:44:07.359
important to note that those remained at the highest favorable rating reported over 9 years. Um, another piece that there is a section in the report uh that highlights all the

150
00:44:07.359 --> 00:44:22.319
different parent engagement as well as student engagement opportunities that we offer within the district like five-star leadership academy uh the various board committees building healthy communities.

151
00:44:22.319 --> 00:44:39.520
Uh I think what's really encouraging we've seen we continue to see um a good interest uh participation in groups like FiveStar Leadership Academy from one year to the next. We've sustained that.

152
00:44:39.520 --> 00:44:55.680
Um we just went through the process of uh soliciting applications for the different board committees. Uh and we're getting we'll present those uh rosters to you for approval in August. Um but

153
00:44:55.680 --> 00:45:10.560
we're continuing to see a good response rate. People wanting uh to participate in those different uh committees and many of those individuals come from our other engagement opportunities like

154
00:45:10.560 --> 00:45:28.000
Five-Star Leadership Academy. One thing looking ahead that um I thought I'd highlight that I think is really connected to our measurement um of school fit is a new event that that

155
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:43.520
we're going to be introducing in the five-star district this year which is the five-star expo. Uh and that's going to give families the opportunity to connect with and learn about all 50 plus

156
00:45:43.520 --> 00:46:01.040
schools in the district one night in one place. And so that gives them uh our families an opportunity to learn more about the unique uh culture programming offerings of all of our schools uh as

157
00:46:01.040 --> 00:46:18.000
well as to engage with the various district departments. um to learn a little bit more about what resources are available and supports for their students. So, uh I think this is one piece of a bigger puzzle in terms of

158
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:34.720
school fit, but it's another opportunity uh for parents to really find um the best place for their child uh in terms of what their individual child's developmental needs might need might be.

159
00:46:34.720 --> 00:46:52.640
Um, so we're excited to be hosting that um on Monday evening, November 2nd at Mountain Range High School. Um, so look for for more information about that to come. And with that, uh, happy to answer

160
00:46:52.640 --> 00:47:10.319
any questions you may have. >> Questions? >> Director Anan Wubo. >> I, >> Director Assad Lucas. I >> Director Bastelli >> I >> Director Goldstein I >> Director Marsh Holen >> I

161
00:47:10.319 --> 00:47:26.400
>> thank you Joe. >> Okay direct inspection monitoring report operating limitations pol policy 2.7 communication and support to the board. I will entertain a motion that the board conducted a direct inspection monitoring

162
00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:41.280
as of June 3rd, 2026 concerning board policy 2.7 communication and support to the board and finds the superintendent has complied with policy statements. >> So moved. >> Second.

163
00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:59.040
>> All right. So this is where um we decide. Was the this attached? >> There's not. Oh, so we just have to tell it as it is. Okay. This is where um you know we decide whether or not um our superintendent

164
00:47:59.040 --> 00:48:15.119
communicates to us adequately and efficiently and effectively. And so um we'll just take a few minutes for each of us to share our thoughts. So just go down the line. >> I being the newest member of our board.

165
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:28.880
>> Yes. Um I'll just share my general comments. All right. Well, um I I've shared with Superintendent Gdowski that um his his method and way of communication is is

166
00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:46.079
quite admirable. Um it's it's uh eventempered um even killed um sticking to the facts and the data and uh uh Superintendent Gaddi finds a way to uh get his point across um while being open

167
00:48:46.079 --> 00:49:02.480
to feedback. Um, and it's quite frankly the way that uh, Superintendent Gdowski communicates is something I I've tried to certain aspects of it I've tried to steal with pride. Um, and I've shared that with him. So for me being here uh,

168
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:18.160
my first year um, I found Superintendent Gaddy's communication in in style of communication more than adequate. In fact, I think uh in many ways based on listening to the um elected officials um that I've had a chance to to meet and

169
00:49:18.160 --> 00:49:33.599
listen to, I I think it's a benchmark. So, um nothing more to say. Thank you for everything you do. >> Um Alexis is going to try to make some comments. >> Can you guys hear me? >> Very well.

170
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:48.319
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, I I would also echo um I imagine everyone else is. I am so appreciative of the communication with the superintendent. Um, anytime I bring

171
00:49:48.319 --> 00:50:04.480
something up, he is thoughtful. He is um quick to respond. Um, and I I just think that I've worked in different forms or different governments um, in a lot of different ways. And I I just think it's it's outstanding the communication uh,

172
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:20.319
he offers the board, the insight um, and and quite frankly the information he offers the district. And I know this year in particular, there were some weighing of of what we tell people and when and I just think the district handled it really well and I I'm very

173
00:50:20.319 --> 00:50:37.359
appreciative of it. That's it. >> Thank you, Paula. So, I guess I could just say ditto ditto, but I will add uh a little bit more, I guess, um in that what I appreciate um from my perspective is

174
00:50:37.359 --> 00:50:52.559
that the superintendent also sort of tailors it based on the person's needs and wants. And I'm a person who needs to be overinformed on everything. And he he gladly supports that. and he's not um you know I'm sure it is annoying but he

175
00:50:52.559 --> 00:51:09.359
never comes across as it being annoying at the time and I appreciate it >> air same you know just echo what has already been said but I think um I was actually going to kind of share it what Paul said

176
00:51:09.359 --> 00:51:25.200
I think not only are you um wonderful at communicating and very thorough, but also you're very great at adapting to our communication styles and um

177
00:51:25.200 --> 00:51:40.480
very different and um but you work well and yeah, you don't come off as put out. You've never done that. you're just so thoughtful and respectful and um really

178
00:51:40.480 --> 00:51:56.720
give meaningful in uh insight and input and and not even just your communication stuff but it's just like keeping us in the loop about everything and um even from Africa and um and so

179
00:51:56.720 --> 00:52:11.359
again we're very lucky if talk to other board members across the state they definitely do not have this level of communication with our superintendent. And um so I

180
00:52:11.359 --> 00:52:26.960
think we know how lucky we are and also goes to show why Adams 12 is such a great district because great leadership that again starts with communication to make it successful. So

181
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:42.079
thank you. >> Gee guys didn't leave much for me to say. Um, and I just want to say it does reflect on I I was going to go down that road of how much it does reflect on the district and with your senior staff and and just how

182
00:52:42.079 --> 00:52:58.480
we as a district function. I mean, our board, you, your senior staff and it just flows. Um, I mean, yeah, we have our hiccups and bumps and issues that we have to deal with, but that's normal. But I think what we lack, which is

183
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:16.240
great, is drama. Um, you know, we don't we fly and it's not that we're flying under the radar. We but we don't make headlines for for drama. We don't, you know, we don't have contention. And if we have contention anywhere, we figure it out behind closed doors, I guess. I

184
00:53:16.240 --> 00:53:33.280
don't know where it is, but um I I just think that it just shows what a a true ship you lead. So, thank you. >> Well, thanks all. Uh there's a lot of things I could say, but in the end I'm I'm mindful about the analogies of

185
00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:49.520
a marriage between a superintendent and board or a partnership. And in a good marriage and a good partnership, communication is a really essential part. And having two-way effective communication is essential in those healthy relationships. And I'm glad that we have that here and committed to

186
00:53:49.520 --> 00:54:05.119
continuing that in the year ahead. Well, thank you direct Director Ana Wubo. >> Hi, >> Director Assad Lucas. Hi, >> Director Bastelli. I >> Director Goldstein. >> Hi, >> Director Marsh Holen. >> I

205
00:59:05.359 --> 00:59:22.960
the meeting. Okay. Number 12, share your story. America 250 and schoolboard leadership. Um I think we all must have gotten this. Um it was from NASBY and it's a um a documentary I guess of sorts that

206
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:40.000
they're making. And um I just want to throw it out there. Do we want to do it? How do we want to do it? wants to do it. >> Who wants to do it? >> Um, I think it's important that we've come up with something. >> Um, and I was kind of confused and I think we can do whatever we want with

207
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:57.760
this. Was this something that we all do and then compile it or um do we each do a separate one or one person can do for the like is it like is that what I was confused about too is do

208
00:59:57.760 --> 01:00:13.200
they want just some one from the board representing it or each of us? I guess what I was thinking or what I think might be most appealing to NSBA given that they represent school boards. I think the collective voice is probably

209
01:00:13.200 --> 01:00:29.359
the most compelling and powerful. What I would envision is if you all came up with a concept or a message or a couple of sub points that you wanted to emphasize in a message, we could probably work with comms. And I see that Joe's exited uh as we came out on this item, but I think we could help script

210
01:00:29.359 --> 01:00:43.760
something so that each of the board members over the course of a I think it was maybe a three or four minute segment if I recall correctly, each person has, you know, some talking points that they contribute to the whole effort and that we'd find a way to tie things together.

211
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:59.680
>> So the deadline is August 15th. So should we just give it to comms to tell us what to do? >> Yeah. And if you have any particular things that uh you think are top of mind about telling the story of success of

212
01:00:59.680 --> 01:01:15.440
public schools and school boards over the history of Adams 12. Uh let us know and we can frame it in that way. I haven't I think when this first came our way, we're in the throws of all the busyiness of spring with graduations and

213
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:32.079
and budget prep. Um, yeah, let's all put our heads together to think think about what themes or topics we might want to focus on and then we can have comms run with it from there. >> All right. So, share your ideas ideas with Stephanie and we give him a deadline. Um,

214
01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:47.440
>> by the 15th of this month. >> 15th of this month. Okay. Makes >> sense. >> And I I will tell you that um comms does an amazing job at taking your thoughts and putting them together. Okay. I guess do we have to is there anybody that objects to this or do we have to make a

215
01:01:47.440 --> 01:02:03.440
motion or we just say you're going to do it and that's it? >> Yeah, I think I what I'm sensing is collective interest. Uh Alexis, if you're not in that spot, uh speak now or forever hold your peace. But otherwise, we'll go ahead and uh >> say to me,

216
01:02:03.440 --> 01:02:20.400
>> okay, we'll look for your ideas uh individually about what may make sense in terms of a theme and then we'll get running with it. All right, sounds good. >> Thanks. >> Uh, thank you. Okay, on to number 13. Proo proposed 2026 2027 board meeting

217
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:37.920
schedule. Um, I checked with Stephanie and the Jewish holidays are not interfered with this time. And um I don't know, do did do we check on graduations too with meetings? Everything's work. Everything just kind of laid out. If there's any questions,

218
01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:54.079
we don't vote on it. Just note though, December >> is the only one that's changed. So it's the second and the third >> Wednesday because of Casby. >> Okay. So we we don't have to meet that Wednesday before Casby, >> right? >> Okay, that's good.

219
01:02:54.079 --> 01:03:09.359

223
01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:22.720
I just want to say to all of you, thank you. It's been a wild ride this year, but we made it. And I appreciate everybody picking up the slack for me. Um, and I'm looking forward to the beginning of next school year after a

224
01:04:22.720 --> 01:04:38.319
nice rest. >> And uh, anybody else? In our defense, we do talk about the material in previous meetings. So that's why we were able to vote on yes on it this time around. >> Oh yeah. >> Just so it's clear.

225
01:04:38.319 --> 01:04:54.319
>> Yeah. No secrets. We are transparent. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Thanks for everyone's work. >> Yep. Agreed. I I really enjoyed my first year here. Um and uh Lori just wanted to thank you for all the work you did at the capital on behalf of education. It's really appreciated.
