Maddie all right nice way to start the new year um we also have another nice treat tonight uh I'm going to turn it over to Chris to talk about our renaming of the ESC Training
Center thank you Lori so we're here to to rehon Dr George Bailey who was the second superintendent in Adams 12's history as you all may know over our 74 year history we've now had seven superintendents and Dr Bailey was the second uh I feel fortunate that he was a
superintendent during most of my own education in Adams 12 I believe he was a superintendent through junior high school and as reflecting on tonight I think there was a time when I was sitting out in the audience and Dr Bailey was probably sitting up at a boardroom in a different building than
this one and we were begging for money to go on this trip to DC for a history competition so I it's just an honor to be sitting in the same seat that he wants held and being able to honor him in a public way here tonight so let me share a little bit more about what I
believe to be true about Dr Bailey a lot of what I'm sharing tonight is derived from a history of Adam 12 report that was prepared by then a PhD student in the early 1990s who was going to CU Boulders School of Education she's now a
professor of education at University of California Irvine it's an amazing Treasure Trove of our District's history and there's quite a bit of information about Dr Bailey in there so in terms of Dr Bailey um where to start maybe I'll give a little bit more context about why
we're here tonight following his retirement after a period of 10 years of service in 1982 the Board of Education named the administration building that we were occupying at the time the George W Bailey Administration Center when I used to visit there uh earlier in my career
people commonly called it the Bailey building and at the time the board took that action they adopted a proclamation that I have a copy of here today and I'd like to spend some time reading it because it remains very relevant uh to why we're here tonight so
the resolution was whereas it is the business of the Board of Education to provide quality education for the children of school district number 12 Adams County and whereas George W Bailey guided the school district through a time of tremendous student growth
personnel and program development and most recently declining resources from midyear 1972 to midyear 1982 whereas perform the duties of Chief Executive Officer of school District number 12 in the achievement of
specified goals and objectives and whereas George W Bailey accomplished the priorities established by the Board of Education in an exemplary manner bringing much credit to himself to the district and community and whereas George W Bailey earned the Friendship admiration
confidence and respect of Educators nationally and internationally and whereas members of the Board of Education in line with past practice wish to give proper recognition to George W Bailey for his dedication and outstanding performance during his
tenure as superintendent therefore be it resolved that the Board of Education hereby confer upon George W Bailey the title of superintendent ameritus of school district number 12 and be F fur resolved further that the name of the School District administration Center be
hereby renamed the George W Bailey Administration Center for Adams 12 and that was signed by Henry man uh who was the president of the board of education at the time uh for which we have another building uh that holds that name now and
Christine sunberg was the first vice president of the board someone who went on to serve as the president of this board Wes Brown signed a secretary who had been a huge donor to this District after his term of service um so a lot of folks who've had a profound impact on our history were part of recognizing Dr
Bailey in that way in the early 2000s the district moved from that former administration building which is now the Community Reach Center building close to I25 close to Immaculate Heart of Mary for those of you who may not know that once upon a time that was the Bailey
building and in the early 2000s we moved here and Leadership at the time felt like it was important to name this new building the education support center to talk about the focus within this building supporting education of students from throughout the district
unfortunately there wasn't action taken that time to recognize Dr Bailey's contributions to the district and that came to my attention a number of years ago when our former School Board member Kathy pler raised it to me we started to
take some steps before the pandemic to find a different way to honor Dr Bailey and then the pandemic hit and that was slowed down for a number of years so we're glad to be here tonight to dedicate the space in which the Board of Education meets and in which members of
our community are staff and frankly from out from throughout the state of Colorado often gather to engage in learning whether it's how to teach literacy better and more effectively to Young students how to identif identify students who are at risk of suicide or
mental health challenges and respond appropriately how to deal student safety issues and threats all of that happens from members of our district and from throughout our state in this space that we are now going to call the George W Bailey Learning Center we're honored to
have a number of Dr Bailey's uh family members here today including a number of his children would you be willing to stand so that we could uh appreciate you all so if you're a child of Dr Bailey could you stand have a couple of them present and I know at least one of them
journeyed from Cheyenne to come down here I'm not sure uh where the sun came from laramy so you're both up in Wyoming it's good to have you here we have a couple of uh at least a couple of grandchildren here could you also stand if you're a grandchild of Dr Bailey and then I believe we have a
couple of great grandchildren who are currently students in our district at Coyote Ridge and rockytop could you please stand [Applause] so let's share a little bit about uh
more about Dr Bailey while we're all gathered here part of the reason why I am expecting that a couple of the children are living in Wyoming as that Dr Bailey also had some time in Wyoming as part of his professional Journey so he had been uh a superintendent in three
districts in Nebraska earlier in his career in Belleview Hebron and Bruning and then he served as the superintendent in Cheyenne and also served as an associate professor of Education ation at the University of Wyoming in laramy when I look at Dr Bailey's
contributions to the district I think there are three very notable things uh that were accomplishments during his tenure Beyond just dealing with the massive growth that was going on in our community at the time and I'll highlight that a little bit more as we go but
thematically um I would describe one of the important contributions that Dr Bailey made was ushering in an era of accountability into Adam's and being part of that movement in our state and our country last summer we did uh I did a kind of a hokey presentation at our
District Administrative team beginning of the year uh kickoff premised around the Taylor Swift eras tour and so we talked about the various eras in Adams 12 and one of the eras was the Dr Bailey era that I captioned the beginning of the accountability era and that's
because from the very time he stepped into the role uh it was important for him that we have accountability to our public one of the quotes I've seen was that Dr Bailey said if education is to retain any credibility with the general public we must Define clearly what
students should know in terms of instructional objectives and we must make those objectives public and measurable and that's really the beginning of having standards-based uh education systems assessments that measure how well we're doing and then public accountability for those
outcomes another piece that that Dr Bailey was well recognized for both in our state and throughout the country was his focus on management by objectives and there's a lot of focus during his tenure on setting goals specific goals that we need to achieve at his level all
the way through Administration for principles and assistant principles to do the same and for teachers then to report out how well we were doing and meeting those objectives and goals to parents and so management by objectives I'll talk more about some of the recognitions that we received and that
Dr Bailey received because of that work and then finally I would say thematically he ushered in before we called it this the concept of policy governance policy governance is the way that this board of education and many in our state currently work where the board
uh delegates a lot of the day-to-day responsibilities to the superintendent and they asked that we achieve certain outcomes and that we not utilize certain means like breaking the law or going into the r in our budget to accomplish those objectives but they otherwise um
aren't involved in day-to-day Affairs and that was a fairly uncommon practice back in the 1970s when Dr Bailey came but part of what our history indicates is when he came to Adams 12 he had a management agreement unusual at the time which clearly defined who was
responsible for what he pledged to implement a management by objective system within three years and the board pledged to limit its activities to legislative and judicial policy matters one of the things that uh it goes on to say that makes me smile was that uh Dr Bailey was given
authority over the contracts and salaries of Administrators which he pointed out builds loyalty in a hurry um so that always puts a smile on my face and during his tunior because of those practices and because of really strong leadership there were a lot of things uh that were accomplished some of the
things I've noted uh from that history is that we added added eight schools in the 10 years that he was here so nearly a new school every single year during his tenure that in 1975 Adams 12 was one of 12 school districts in the nation that the United
States Department of Education recognized as a leader in performance-based Management Systems in 1976 again the US Department of Education recognized Adams 12 as one of 16 school districts in the country with a superior reading program and That Was
Then distributed Nationwide The Carter Department of Education recognized Adams 12 during his tenure for for its outstanding energy conservation program in 1978 to 1979 we are one of 13 school districts in the
United States to get a national Grant to support gifted and talented education which was one of Dr Bailey's expert areas of expertise and passion during his tenure we passed two Bond measures one in 1974 and one in
1978 the one in 1974 was for $29 million and the one in 1978 was for $47 million I'll just say uh that your money went a lot further back in those days uh the report indicates that the 78 measure allowed us to build three new elementary
schools two Junior highs and a high school for 47 million back in 2016 that Bond measure allowed us to build Thunder Vista K8 at a cost of $45 million alone for one School uh so things have definitely changed during
his tenure we started up vocational education which we now call career in technical education uh down at the Thorton high school campus and that later was separately named as the Bulman uh technical education campus and there were 11 programs serving 750 students by
the time we got to 1980 obviously quite a bit that was accomplished during Dr Bailey's tenure and so it's really a pleasure to be here tonight uh to rehon him to dedicate the space uh in recognition of all of what
he contributed to to this community we have this plaque that will soon be displayed outside of this meeting space that we're in to recognize his contributions and there will be nicer lettering than what we have outside right now because we had some metal letters that we were going to add
outside as you walk through the vestibule of this building into the space but unfortunately the vendor that we were buying the letters from had a fire last week and those letters uh were damaged and melted and so we're doing a do over on that but it will be nice to have those letters per permanently fix
and for everyone who enters into the space to know more about Dr Bailey what he's done uh to set this District up for success and the commitment that he started to having excellence in Adams 12 so board members it's my pleasure uh to
invite you to come down and to stand with members of the family and do some pictures along with uh the plaque that we're going to be posting here very soon s want [Applause]
s you bet uhhuh jany and I think her last name I've got written somewhere it's different than what I've just described it starts with an S Rock
[Applause] I'll just conclude by saying that I know some members of the Bailey family obviously have travel down from Wyoming um Jenny one of uh the grandchildren is an educator in the system uh the great- grandkids have school tomorrow so if you
feel like you need to exit this is probably a long meeting uh you probably know that from what your dad or uh your grandpa your great grandpa may have relayed so feel free uh to go on home and travel safe thanks very much
[Applause] all right okay no no no oh wait I bet thank you for coming she flew in from New York wow wow that's
awesome that is amazing thank you thank you you so much all right on to superintendent update so I gave you all a fairly long update and work session so I am not going to add anything further for now thank you
okay thank you uh Board of Education comments recognition Awards and vision we'll start with director Potter thank you president Goldstein um I am excited to be back to the new school year excited to see all the
friendly faces I think um we all or most of us Lori and spirit had the opportunity to attend the five star school districtwide kickoff and it was just such a heartwarming thing um to see everyone kind of come together and celebrate the beginning of the school year and it was really special and
something that I hope that we can do again maybe we can install some like fans or some misters or something next time but um I really appreciate that all of our staff made it a priority to be there but also our leadership made it a
priority to bring everyone together and en encourage them and motivate them and just send them into the school year with just so much positivity and love for what they do I think it's really easy to get burnt out and kind of dread going back to work after a long wonderful summer but it was just fabulous and I am
so honored to know all of you guys that put it all together and make it happen um other than that it's just been fun seeing all the all the kids faces having my own kids go back to school it's the first time in 18 years that I don't have a single kid at home with me so it's a
little odd but my house is never been more clean or quiet it's kind of nice um so again I'm excited to see all the new things that we are going to be doing this year all of the new friendly faces of students and staff and and everyone
in between so thank you again um staff for making the five star thing happen thank you director marshallon thank you I just want to say welcome back to everyone and I hope you have a great start of the school year I
have two kids in two separate schools starting new schools so I have a lot of uh as a kindergarten Mom I have a lot of anxiety but um just transitioning schools is also anxious so thinking of everyone this week and our staff has been doing an amazing job um director Potter and I
attended with uh um Mr gdowski the uh state of the city from Westminster and that was uh a great event to hear an update of what's happening there and um I miss the flag football game but um I'm excited to start getting out to sports
so thanks thank you director belli I attended a quite a few things I went to Casa had a volunteer um appreciation event and Casa in case you're not aware they um train people to become courta appointed special
Advocates ironically enough um Alexis and I have both considered volunteering for that if you don't know what a courta appointed special Advocate is they represent um at risk children in the criminal justice system or the court system um not necessarily criminal justice but um they what they do is they
give voice to those kids and they they operate as as that that kid's um they listen to that kid and they reflect that kid's desires and values in the court system so it's really important um they do have a raffle going on right now so if you wanted to look them up and see
what they're up to Adams County Casa uh so I went to that the next thing I did is I went to the back to school bash uh where a lot of kids I think it was around what 3,000 4,000 kids got um backpacks with supplies and it's wonderful to see kids so excited to get
the materials they need need for learning um and it was great to see kids really thrilled when they were able to get the butterfly backpack or the Spider-Man backpack or whatever they needed to feel confident in their learning space and I loved that um I
also attended the five star staff kickoff uh and like Courtney said it was very hot um but people had wonderful attitudes it was um great to be there in community with everyone and I just really thank everyone for coming showing up and
being eager to get the year started um I want to give a special uh thank you to oit who have been battling some um computer issues the past couple of days and I decided I wanted to do I mean I want to do this because I think
sometimes with our oit folks that there's a lot going on in the background that we're not aware of and that we we don't appreciate because it's not terribly visible and we don't we don't see it work you know at work um but I can guarantee you that the oat team has been working around the clock the past
few days to try to get the minor technical issue going on right now addressed and I just felt it was a great opportunity to say this is what they do all the time and they do they do wonderful work so thank you thank you director Asad
Lucas good evening and thanks for being here uh welcome back so yeah it's been an exciting week I have four kids in all three levels now um a senior all the way to down to a
kindergartener and towards the end of last year especially in IBS meetings I was counting down to uh kindergarten and then Shannon West the principal at thorell just uh reminded me
how I'm going to have one child who is going to be starting all of his first verse and one child who will have all of her last verse and I wasn't as excited for August to get here anymore but it's been a great start much uh more smooth
than we had anticipated so I just want to say thanks for to all of our staff that makes a smooth transition for all of our students um a possibility to help them start off strong uh so yeah so some
of the events we been to is back to school bash and it's just an amazing event I really appreciate our staff who developed such strong Community Partnerships to make this event successful again just another example of
making sure our students have a strong start uh the five star staff kickoff has mentioned and you know all the wonderful things have already been said but one thing that was I would really like to add is
how Murray McKenzie knows how to bring the energy um she was just fun it was a fun start and just got the just brought the energy up so much and what I really appreciate about the theme of The Five Star staff
kickoff is that we are not individual schools but one district and I think that's a really powerful message that we in order for one area of our district to be successful we all have to be in it
so it was a really great event I got to attend uh the independence Academy ribbon cutting which was just a wonderful wonderful event it's a beautiful building and I mean a lot of planning a
lot of work went into that building and again just a theme that I really stepped away from is how much effort and thoughtfulness went into it to show so when kids walked in they knew they mattered they knew that they were
thought of and that their the place where they go to learn is Meaningful and a lot of thought was put into it for them and if uh you're not aware of Independence Academy it's our school that serves our highly emotional needs
students and uh a lot of a lot of great work goes into that school and great staff uh attended the back to school events I attended a few different schools where I talked about blueprint to parents got some great
feedback um and then this morning attended the Adams 12 Education Foundation board retreat and again if you're not familiar with her five star Education Foundation definitely learn they do so much to help
support our district and give so much to help again the success of students and um just providing things for the district that we might not be able to or uh gaps or fill gaps
so it's a wonder wonderful foundation and then lastly attended the flag foot the first sanctioned flag football game uh game in Colorado on Saturday and so yeah it was a really exciting time and excited to attend more
and who won it's the first year it's the first year like so where's your North clun shirt well I will tally let's tally um no it was it was a lot of fun
so I'm excited to continue and we have other thoron North Glen games coming up so we will it'll be a fun little competition yeah we like to uh have a little fun with the Rivalry so yeah so
again thanks for everyone for being here tonight giving your time and thanks to our Educators and our staff and our District employees that have shown up to give their 110% to make sure that our kids are off to a strong start so thanks
thank you well um those of you that know me know that I had a really wild summer um I took a couple of big vacations and I traveled very far but um and I had some great family um events
too so it's just a great summer but um I was home for two days in um July where I got to make a video uh that was shown at the back to school bash and I was really sad to miss I really was um but it sounds like it was wonderful and I
promise next year I'll make it um as far as from an educational perspective I I really did experience a lot of things I was in Peru for part of this time and just learning about the culture there and um seeing you know that we were in
some places where the kids it's winter there so um the kids were coming back from their winter break but watching some of the kids in some of the villages going to school in their little uniforms and they all just go down the hill together to the school and they come back together it just really kind of
cool um and another thing I did was I was in my hometown of sou Falls and I drove by my high school that I graduated from a long time ago and I thought I'd love to go in there and so I I found out who the principal was I emailed her and she said yeah come
on in she had somebody give me a tour and there were parts of the building that had been added on since the many many years ago that I graduated but a lot of it you know was pretty much the same and the funny funnest thing was that I walked down the athletic Hall and they had all the team pictures on the
wall from all the years and there were the team pictures from when I was on the cross country team back in the decades ago and uh I had a different color hair back then and it was really kind of cool um and then
um from an educational standpoint I'm back and I'm ready to roll and I got to attend the Adams county attendance initiative breakfast this morning um it's it's a focus that we really need to uh hone in on is making sure that we get our kids to school and it's not just a
matter of getting our kids to school but getting them wanting to come to school and so we heard some from from from some very cool people this morning um a senator a judge um people that work in that um mental health space and so um I
was there with a couple of other folks from the district and they got some great ideas of how they want to move forward so that is my report moving on to public comment good evening uh the board
welcomes public comment to learn about the preferences and concern of the Adams 12 festar Community each speaker will have three minutes please use the microphone and state your name and city of residence before beginning your comments please give any handouts or
information you would like to share with the board to Lee coka here to my right speakers will be prompted with this sign when you have 30 seconds remaining uh please begin to wrap up your comments at that time speakers will be informed when time has expired please end your
comments at that time our first speaker is Thomas Scoville evening I'll give you a few minutes to rearrange the flags if you care to do that
this is a case if you can get it right a 100 times in a row the one times you don't somebody's going to notice thank you you wouldn't mind restarting the clock I would appreciate it did you enjoy the Olympics as much as I
did I did except for a part about the male boxer knocking the crap out of a female fortunately she had the good sense to leave the bout early much like an abused wife leaving a marriage let's keep why chromosomes out
of female sports courts are helping and the Supreme Court just ordered the Kamala regime to suspend their misinterpretation of Title 9 that's progress meanwhile 27j is being
sued for concealing from parents its efforts to gender trans position students I hope that's a line that you stay out of Elsewhere Thorton wants to build an ill-conceived subsidized housing project
right across the street this property is not nor will it ever be taxed mindful of super superintendent's comments of few months ago on the POS of commercial property in our tax base
please oppose this project one of the reasons is it's built your parking lot is going to be filled with cars from over there because there's just not enough parking uh thanks to a car heading
legislature this shows our High Cost of Living such as prompted Cala to push back on price gouging with a promise to impose stalins price controls she should start right here in Adams County with Adams
12 because taxes are the price of government and if ever there was a case of gouging it's right here right now even the governor thinks things out are out of whack and that's why we're having a special session next week to
deal with it so please table so please table uh your plans to raise taxes and sell more bonds until we see what happens in the special legis in the special legislature and until we know whether we get
communism or maganic finally comrade Goldstein please pull up the resolution I sent to you in April and declare a taxpayer appreciation day without them you and your union
would not be here please do not keep your love of taxpayers a secret obviously the performance of most taxpayers is a lot better than yours in fact my performance as a taxpayer is perfect I pay what I owe I pay it on
time and I'm not alone give us some appreciation your performance is not so hot you're struggling and many students are performing well below standards sir your time has expired you all need to do lots better thank you I would like to correct you that the
correct pronunciation of my name is Goldy we say it about 10 times a meeting and I think you know that thank you as I said my family's name is Goldstein thank you our next speaker is Brandon figliolino
good evening my name is Brandon figliolino and I am here tonight as a representative of the Regional Transportation District which most people know us as RTD I'm excited to share with you this evening that rtd's board of directors has recently approved
making our zeroair for youth program permanent this means that all individuals ages 19 years of age and younger are eligible to ride buses and trains operated by RTD for no cost including your students creating an
opportunity to write Transit at no cost eliminates barriers to education and employment while also helping families save money on gas and vehicle expenses and so as students return to school RTD is excited to partner with Adams 12 uh
to share information about this program with students and parents you can learn more about this program and download our toolkit by visiting our website rtddenver.com thank you so much for your time and your service to our community thank
you Brandon quick question on that so would a student need to have like an ID a student ID to be able to to get on the bus or how does that work yeah absolutely great question so we are encouraging our middle school and high school students to bring their student IDs just so that way it's obvious that
they are part of uh the 19 and younger crowd thank you so much okay our next speaker is Ellie baitman thank you okay my name is El baitman I'm a resident of Thorton Colorado and I'm a senior at Mountain Range High School and
I'm here to speak to you about Career Tech Ed classes and why there are some of the most important programs offered in within Adams 12 CTE classes take students beyond the confines of an average classroom I myself have found my true passion for what I want to do within the High School of Business thanks to the CTE program only offered
at mountain range in Adams 12 I've gained a plethora of soft skills that can be applied to almost any career I choose to go into thanks to High School of Business I've earned college credits in business economics marketing Finance project management and business strategies not only that but I've earned certificates in project management and
small business entrepreneurship and did I mention that thanks to the Investments and time put into this program I did not have to pay for any of these credits or certificates and will be able to graduate college early as well with hundreds of other high school students but most importantly CTE classes go beyond the Dual Credit in soft skills
they put students at an advantage against the real world and give them a unique Head Start when I first entered mountain range like most high schoolers I had no clue what I was going to do after high school and if it weren't for High School of Business I would still have no clue and would probably be panicking right now as I begin my college admissions process in order to
graduate high school business students must complete an intern internship I thought long and hard about what I wanted to discover and after lots of research guidance and support I landed on broadcast journalism this past spring I got to intern for Colorado's largest news Outlet down in Denver 9 news I spent a lot of time asking questions and
observing and after I had completed my internship I knew broadcast journalism was the career for me I was completely captivated by the world of media that I was momentarily a part of it was a one-of-a-kind observation that I was very lucky to be a part of I was able to get real world experience in a field that interested me and that experience
allowed me to fully confirm that broadcast journalism is the path for me as I began touring colleges I realized that the internship I got at 9 news as a junior in high school is work experience that college students are dying to get their hands on before they are left to the real world that is the kind of
unique advantage that CTE classes give their students I never would have had that unique experience if it weren't for high school business let alone walk out of high school knowing exactly where I want to study what I want to study and what kind of career I want to pursue it's important to remember that CTE classes open doors never thought to be
possible for all kinds of students there are excellent ways for high schools to make sure that their students are career and college ready right out of high school because they mold excellent students in all different respects thank you thank [Applause]
you our next speaker is Aid farii okay hello uh my name is AIT faridi I am a high school senior at Northland High School in these past three years coming on to four years I have gone many amazing experiences such as being
interviewed for 9 years from last year's engineering aerospace engineering to making a connect for board for the vision impaired which allowed my team to share this coste effective for to an organization who helps the vision impaired this allowed many schools to
actually take our CAD file and help their vision impaired people have fun for what will be three years this year I have been a part of the architecture construction and engineering program that has partnered with
construction this program allowed me to go through each step that any professional building a building goes through so I have designed a library and I have designed the extension to the SE terminal of the Denver Airport this program allowed me to also
get a 4-week internship to Martin and Martin consulting firm so this past summer I have been working with the Martin and Martin people to learn about civil and structural engineering and how they use it in the
day-to-day I was also tasked with helping create different sites for the firm which was very easy for me because I learned a bunch of Cad and Structural Engineering due to the engineering pathway I've been doing for four years
now the engineering pathway has allowed me at North gun High School to not only expand my Horizon with engineering and the different disciplines from electrical all the way to aerospace engineering but has also given me the experiences to excel in the professional
industry of engineering thank you Martin Martin is a company very close to me uh my husband worked there I don't know if you worked with him or not but yeah what projects did you work on um so I actually made for my first
two weeks I did a structural engineering so I made a canopy m um that's around in Colorado I forgot the exact location but and then the second two weeks following that for civil engineering I actually
made a um sorry um a gas station but it's renewable so it has hydrogen fuel cells and electrical for I think it's up in the mountains it's an area that they're
actually constructing currently in 2025 yeah NE well thank you good luck thank you our next speaker is uh sorry I'm probably gonna get the name wrong L Lucas dubaj
sorry h appre appr thank you um members of the board good evening uh my name is Lucas Dubai I'm a resident of of thoron uh I'm here tonight to Advocate expanding Career and Technical education programs through the blueprint
program I represent uh ma mortson a construction uh management and general contracting Community partner and Ace mentoring of Colorado a program connecting high school students such as the one that you just heard from um with industry Professionals in architecture
construction and Engineering additionally I speak as a uh a parent of a new Adams 12 kindergarten uh who just recently started at stem lab as well I've worked closely with North GL high school over the past few years introducing dozens of students to our
Ace mentoring program this initiative emphasizes Workforce Development and provides valuable opportunities for students while addressing the critical skills Gap in our industry expanding the T the CTE program further offers numerous benefits for students
employers and The Wider Community the skills Gap is a is a pressing issue in our sector today by integrating CTE programs into middle schools we can start aligning education with job market needs
earlier this proactive approach ensures students are trained in high demand areas effectively Bridging the skills Gap and creating a robust Talent pipeline for the future employers are looking for candidates with practical skills and core competencies CTE
programs focus on hands-on experience that equip students with these vital skills introducing CTE at the middle school level means students can build a strong Foundation early marketing them more making them more marketable to employers as they enter the
workforce Middle School is a critical time for students to explore different career paths CTE programs provide them with the exposure they need to make informed decisions about their future this early exploration Fosters great greater job satisfaction and career
longevity additionally CTE encourages critical thinking and problem solving cultivating an Innovative mindset beneficial for both individual careers and the industries they will follow into I've seen firsthand the incredible potential of the students in our
district through programs like Ace this experience has shown my wife and me the promising opportunities that lie ahead for our son and his peers investing in the future pipeline for tomorrow's professionals by providing quality programs and Facilities starts today
your support in expanding CTE into middle schools will enrich the lives of students faculty and staff within our district thank you so much for your time really really appreciate you guys's uh continued um expansion of all these programs and supporting the the
blueprint program thank you thank you our next speaker will be Gabriel Alvarez Rivas good evening uh my name is Gabriel Alvarez Rivas I'm going to graduate from Bon High School um um man this is my
first time I'm kind of nervous I don't know so uh the CTE that I took during High School put my foot in the door with Caliber Collision uh honestly when I came during when I came in high school I didn't know what I was doing was what I
was thinking what was I going to do for the next four years what's my option for uh for college what am I doing um and the the CT of auto body and collision helped me you know find my love for for cars and stuff and if it wasn't for them
I mean I don't know where I would be at right now honestly if it wasn't for them uh I mean I don't know what to say you know I'm really grateful for the opportunity that uh Autobody has given me Bullman
especially I mean honestly I'm lost for wage right now uh I mean that's pretty much I don't know what else to say thank you you said
it our next speaker is Dena Nightingale okay um I'm Dena Nightingale I am the GM at caliber cision that actually um employs Gabe um I I really love this program that Bowman and Adams County 12
is or sorry not 12 but it is 12 I'm nervous sorry um that he gives their students the opportunity to actually go to school um earn credit for the program that they are in and also be able to make money while they're learning the
product that they're um going forward to make their careers um I am a wife of a uh my husband is also an auto body Tech he graduated from um uh Stanley Lake which um companied with um warant Tech
many many years ago um and he was in the same type of program and it provided my family stability and opportunity to be where we are now and looking at Gabe at 19 years old and he's already got his
foot in the door for a career path and it's an amazing career path he will be able to provide for his family and do many more things as he goes forward and he's so far above the a lot of his um peers right now moving forward with his
career and not only that but he got to learn um through caliber through our Taps program and graduate through that and not have to pay for an education to learn the craft that he is going to move forward in so it's a great program I'm
really glad that to see it back in schools because I think some of it had went away for a few decades it seemed like we were getting away from trades in in high schools and stuff like that so I it's it's a great opportunity for the students moving forward thank
you thank you our next speaker is Justin boetto my name is Justin BTO I live in thoron and most of my speech has already been mentioned actually as adults all of us have multiples of
one or two stories I wish I had the opportunity and I'm glad I had the opportunity my freshman year I met the most important teacher in my life Mr whorn he introduced me to CAD software
because I was an advanced math student who did not get along with the AP math teacher by the time I was a sophomore I was paired up with a group of seniors doing a BattleBots competition because he had arranged for his high school class to do BattleBots by the time I was a junior I
was competing at State for the technology Students Association where I took third in CAD I then went on to compete in Nationals where I couldn't do CAD but I did many other activities those were some of the greatest experiences of my life they also gave me
quite a bit of direction going forward and what I wanted to do by the time I was a senior I was trying to get my hands on anything complicated I could find to draw among many other activities I did as a senior when I graduated high school I went back that summer to go let them
know that I had found a college I was going to college what I was going to do say goodbye to my teachers and I discovered he had acquired a 3D printer something I'd been asking him for for years uh he also AC acquired a laser
engraving printer and a poster board printer like a six foot wide printer I got really upset at first until later I learned he managed to get that 3D printer using my entire High School portfolio because I was the first CAD
student he had he had given me a trial software of CAD in my freshman year my freshman portfolio allowed him to buy CAD for the entire class and his entire computer lab by the time I was a senior he was pitching for to get a $150,000
School print now that creates opportunity for other students but what I've come to realize is the only reason that any of that was possible is because he was a teacher who was passionate about what he what he did
he had the salary and the budget and the funding to keep his job stay at his job become really good at his job he had the facilities to support what he did for his students and he had the funding for the programs he wanted to give them
so as a community member and as a father I think it's our job to enable every child that goes through our school system the ability to leave it with I'm glad I had the opportunity thank you our next speaker is Melissa Ryan
all right I'm Melissa Ryan I'm a North CL resident mother of two current Adams 12 students um I just came here today with inquiries regarding the blueprint proposal a lot of the items I fullart agree with and I think the district is
in desperate need um of building interior and exterior upgrades and safety improvements and the nutritional upgrade in the CTE programs so I wanted to come here and say that um my only hesitation as a voter and mother with
this is I came here last year speaking to you guys about my concerns with Woodland Elementary and the mistreatment of several of the teachers that I witnessed firsthand by the administration placed at that school um I keep hearing in The Proposal
we're losing good teachers because they're underpaid um we can't keep up with the competitive wages with the other school districts I would like for you guys to keep in mind that that's not the only issue I have a lot of teacher friends that have left the district um because they felt they were not
respected and not valued and mistreated um so I do agree with this proposal I think it is desperately needed um but the wording in that regards I do feel like needs to be corrected um because unfortunately I understand that the teachers who are certified their raises
are lumped in with the administrative side for the raises that we'll be going through these teachers are worthy of raises we need to keep good quality teachers but I also think that they deserve to be respected um listened to and heard because they're not and when
parents are coming forward and speaking we're being disregarded I had one member this summer reach out to me about my concerns with the way the teachers are treated and that is it um I had a meeting back in April with Bo Fert and Toby bassoff they said they would follow
up and I've yet to hear any from them it has been complete crickets so I don't feel like as a parent and a voter that my concerns are being listened to I'm voting with my heart for what's good for my children but I need you guys to listen to the parents and do what is right for our teachers because we have
some amazing teachers and we are going to keep losing them to other districts because the administration is not listening to them um and that's what I came here to say because I do feel like Adams 12 has room for improvement um and we're going to keep like I said we're just going to lose these teachers to
other districts because they're not being listened to they're not being heard they're not being respected thank you have a good evening thank you our next speaker is Marty Gutierrez that go up work with so many microphones you'd figure I know how to work one um
hello my name is Marty gueris and I am a resident of North Glen um I've been a resident of Adams 12 for 37 years and this is my 30th year teaching math in the district um I actually did my student teaching the year before that at thoron high school and I did my
practicum work for two years before that at hon middle school and Northland High School um I've lived for 26 years within the attendance area that my students live in I live right in between vantage point and um Westview Elementary my
older daughter is a graduate of Legacy High School and my younger daughter just began her freshman year at Northland High School so the reason I chose to teach in Adams 12 is because I value the community I live in um I'm here tonight to speak in support of a bond in M Levy override for our district I believe we
need to provide new and updated schools for the children in Adams 12 it's been unfortunate the students have lost many CTE opportunities that existed in the middle schools during the first half of my career I would love to have facilities where these classes can be expanded into our middle schools and in
our elementary schools in my 30 years of teaching in Adams 12 I've experienced working in a building with a failing roof uh one where there were problems with sewer gas backing up into the building one where classrooms had textbooks that were over 20 years old I also spent my
entire 8-year tenure at here on Middle School teaching in a mobile behind it I never worked inside of that building um this summer The Day That Summer started I went into my school I moved into new classroom I took tools and hardware and had to put the teacher desk back
together um it was just barely standing up at the start of this year our c audience had to scramble all over the school to make sure they had enough chairs to fit in classrooms and I'm in one of the newer buildings in the district um in addition it's going to be
difficult or impossible to staff these facilities are built and updated through the bond if we don't honor teachers I had a younger teacher approach me just last week and tell me that she's considering leaving Adams 12 because she could make $10,000 more in the district
she lives in which is neighboring if a mill is not p past we will most likely need to reduce staff in our buildings and increase class sizes at all levels we will also have to look at reducing programs that are offered throughout the district I believe in the atams 12
community and as I approach the end of my teaching career I want to do everything in my power to make sure that our most valuable resource has the opportunity to grow and to flourish in our schools I ask that the Adams 12 Board of Education move forward with the bond to Mill election this fall thank
you thank you Marty our next speaker is Shannon bird good evening uh Adams 12 Board of Education superintendent gdowski um I'm Shannon bird um it is just an honor I want to say an honor to be here to present to you and speak with you
tonight as um a member of the public um I'm a resident of Westminster I have two children one who's a recent graduate of Adams 12 schools and one current um student here in the district who I'm very proud of um while I'm here in my personal capacity tonight I would be
remiss if I didn't also add that my day job is as state representative um I represent the city of Westminster most of it at the state capital and I also chair our state's budget committee um so issues of finance and school Finance of
course are high on my mind knowing how important they are to all of our families our communities and all of our kids um public education um has always been very important to me and I was a member back in I think it was 2014 when this
District commissioned another Blue Ribbon panel that studied the quality and condition of our facilities took a good look at teacher compensation um I I know the rigor that we had approached the issue with and I know that that has happened again in this next iteration
districts have the district has grown and evolved since I know I was part of that blue ribbon panel um and we have another matter before you now and um I'm here to urge you to refer this to the ballot for voters to consider I think
it's um important that we invest in our schools I will say the state um for the first time in a long time did a lot of really good work living up to it's part of the public financing of Education um our responsibilities but we all know
that appropriate funding of our Public Schools requires a partnership it's not just State funding we require local investment as well um that's local investment in buildings in teacher compensation the state portion of the this funding cannot satisfy and do all
of this alone we know that our state is in fact having an incredible teacher shortage compensation issues abound Adams 12 isn't the only District but to make that better and make sure that our school district remains competitive with other districts to ensure that we can
attract and retain the very best talent for our kids we need to look at increasing teacher compensation and I know that a mevy override is a tool to accomplish that we also know that we need updated instru C materials we need relevant buildings in which to teach um
you also need safe buildings the there's a bond that you're currently considering that will make sure that we upgrade our educational facilities so that they're safe we have HVAC systems that work rooftops that um hold the snow and water away from our kids and actually keep
them safe so that as parents we know that our kids are safe and secure every day thank you for taking the time to listen and again I urge you to refer this to the voters for their consideration thank [Applause]
you our next speaker is Sarah Hughes thank you Mr Gutierrez my name is Sarah Hughes and and um I'm a Community member um I'm also an alumni of uh North Glenn High School and uh Silver Hills um Mr uh
gdowski was my superintendent for my entire uh career at Adams 12 and um I guess the long and the short of it is thank you for all for investing in me and I hope that you invest in other
students too because I realized that I wanted to be an engineer after I went to the um engineering pathway um in at North Clinton High School and that's what made me realize that I wanted to be an
engineer and it only took what four years imagine what we could have done if uh it was in my middle school too so thank you for investing in me and now I want to
invest my tax is now that I'm grown to help other kids like me figure out what they want to do with their lives my younger brother um went to Bowman and got his welding
certification and I am so incredibly proud of him so I think it just in my family it goes to show that both the uh stem career Pathways that are really helping kids towards uh colle college
programs and uh the vocational studies at Bulman it helps schools treat every student like they matter because they do matter and my brother and I matter the same whether or
not we chose to go to college so I think that um we should go move forward with the blueprint uh issue I think we should pass the M Levy and the bond uh I was in high school when the 2016 and
2018 uh Mills and bonds uh were passed and I'm not going to lie to you I remember feeling jealous because the students that came behind me would get that money I wouldn't get that money I wouldn't get to see what North Glenn High School looked like in a little more
updated uh little uh sexier version of North Glenn High School but that's okay because I know that they're getting get better than I did and these students the ones behind them will get better than they did thank
you thank you [Applause] Sarah and our final speaker is Gabriella Chavez okay hello everyone I am Gabby Chavez and I uh live in Commerce City and I am
an r&p Civic influencer and you might be wondering why I'm here since I do live in Commerce City and I graduated from 27j schools but I am here in support of the mil Levy and bond um on Election overall this fall um because I graduated
from a school district that hadn't passed a M Levy in over 20 years it failed multiple times on the ballot and I felt those effects as a student I graduated in 2021 so three years ago and now I'm a senior at du and so I see the
effects compared to all other Colorado Colorado graduates at du um especially from other school districts that have way better funding than Adams 12 and 27j and I don't think it's fair I think everyone deserves good education and
they shouldn't be limited by funding and money and just how everything else works out with government politics and what that looks like in school districts but in general um I am an influencer I'm a Civic influencer and I do work with um the Adams 12 community and overall all
of Adams County and I have talked to a lot of Adams 12 community members including students and we seem to share the same experiences even if they are in a different school district and so I do think it's important to make sure that we are leveling the playing field and
just making sure that those experiences are heard from the students and that we give them the best education possible so thank you thank [Applause] you all right thank you
everyone okay board committee liaison um we just want to take a moment to review and confirm the assignment of a board members as liaison to key committees um specifically the faac the Dak and the LR Pac so um on the fact we have had I
believe Courtney and Alexis and due to um want to continue doing that okay and on the deck we have Paula just Paula right all right and then on the LR pack um I've been on
that and I'm happy to keep doing that um and then um you know we also have other things that we you know participate in but these are the three that are the board um the board committees any comments or questions okay we don't need to vote on
it okay on to monitoring reports quick uh excuse me quick question just given that I think most of our audience has interest just given what public comment included around the blueprint plan I wonder if it might be possible to do D1 and then come back to
the monitoring reports after that's concluded anybody have a problem with that okay we're going to skip to D1 board business blueprint investment proposal we have Bo and we have Molly
and uh Joe Megan and Kim I believe or that's who's on here [Music] all right I want to thank the superintendent for keeping us on our toes this evening with the agenda uh superintendent gdowski board members it's a pleasure to be with you tonight
it's actually more than a pleasure it's it's a thrill because we get to share with you kind of our last and final update uh before you consider our blueprint priority and proposed Investments uh as you know this is a culmination of almost two years worth of
Engagement throughout our system we've talked to students we've talked to parents we've talked to community members we've talked to staff members about what we envision what we want to see to make good on our commitment as part of our vision in Adams 12 that every student who leaves us is
adequately and fully prepared to go out and thrive in a future of their choosing what do we want to see in our buildings what do we want to see in the programmatic opportunities that they have and tonight we're happy to share with you uh some final updates before your consideration a week from tonight
just a reminder that blueprint uh was very intentionally done to think about facilities and programmatic opportunities in unison typically when you see school districts uh consider Bond and mil Evy overrides they think about them separately we put a bond
measure out because we need to add new buildings because we're growing as a district certainly was true uh for much of our history uh we put out a mevy override because there's new programmatic opportunities we want to provide with kids as we embarked on this blueprint Journey we were really
intentional that we wanted to think about those Investments synergistically how does what we envision our buildings look like fit with what want to offer students within those buildings so that rather than doing them in isolation really thinking about how they're connected so
you're going to hear and have heard some updates tonight around facilities and programmatic Investments as we go through the presentation we'll get very specific into how that uh interplay between those two Investments work for the benefit of our students one thing I
really wanted to elevate for you and our audience tonight are the needs that drive these plans and to do so in a a very specific and concrete way that here to for we haven't done with you right now you've heard a lot of public comment tonight about the power of Career Tech
opportunities in our system nearly 10% of our current high school students are interested in pursuing CTE courses and classes in our system but unfortunately they are weight listed because we cannot yet offer
enough sections to meet their demand sometimes that is because we don't have enough of the facilities and the equipment sometimes it's because we can't secure a second highly qualified CTE instructor sometimes it's both but we certainly don't like knowing that we
have kids that are raring to go and excited about pursuing a CTE class and we're telling they have to wait because we can't accommodate them currently in our schedule right now there are over 7,000 students across 23 of our elementary
schools that don't access computer science as a regular part of their instructional day that's because right now the offering of Computer Science is based solely on the size of a school you have a large uh enrollment at your school we're able to add another section
of programming and we add computer science computer science computational thinking design thinking is becoming fundamental for this generation and being able to get students started early on those skills and those competencies
be critical consumers of digital content it's essential for them as they progress through our schools we want to make sure that access is Equitable across our system we have over $600 million in critical maintenance needs over the next 5 years you heard Chris give some
history tonight next year is our 75th Anniversary as a school district 75 years of buildings 75 years of growth you end up accumulating some maintenance needs in your system we kicked off the school year
last last week we have 128 staff vacancies lots of comments tonight about how a single teacher a single teacher can make all the difference in opening up excitement Pathways seeing yourself
in a whole new way we want to be sure that we compete effectively and retain effectively the very best Educators we can and we need to be able to compete with our peer districts in ways that are meaningful uh and allow the very best
teachers to be in our system I want to make another connection here when we think about CTE expansion when we are hiring for CTE instructors we're hiring against different competitors so when we're thinking about adding a third
grade teacher or a middle school science teacher or a high school math teacher we're competing against other folks that have gone through pre-education or worked in education to be teachers when we want to hire a new cyber security teacher we're competing against the NSA
we're competing against big Tech to pull in the instructors we want in front of our kids in those CTE we have to be able to compete with those folks that know that content really well but want to prepare the Next Generation we've talked uh a lot about
uh covid pandemic era money drying up we made a lot of Investments with that uh uh Federal support to add mental health support for our uh students academic intervention support even though those dollars are drying up the need for
students both academically and their mental health their resilience remains we want to be able to sustain those extra supports you're going to hear some really uh compelling reasons and you have before around how much we stand to save and how much the quality of our
food improves if we are able to create a central warehouse in our district rather than having to rely on a single company the only player in town who's willing to deliver to over 50 different sites to be able to have a central warehouse where we can go out and more competitively
Source our food and then regular updates has always to critical safety system says we know more and do better in the safety space we always want to be on The Cutting Edge and in front of all of that so we're going to have two rounds of not full updates cuz you've heard this many
times over the past several months but kind of a brief reminder and some some new deeper dive details first for the uh milley override and then for the bond and your tour guide for the details of the mil Levy override is our new Chief academic officer Megan
Kane hi good evening thank you for an opportunity for us to continue to share with you the progress that we've made um in our proposed M Levy override in the first image it's a reminder to us that we're looking to add Elementary specials classes specifically around the area of
computer science in the schools that do not have the opportunity to offer four rounds of elective or specials offerings uh we would like to add that addition some of those schools that do have those offerings right now we will consider
what might we add in addition to that um and those those conversations are continuing to happen the second is expanding our CTE and stem opportunities um to allow particularly at the middle school levels um as you heard this e
this evening the importance of students having an opportunity to think about what might I be or what might I be interested in um and how might we expand those opportunities for them and then lastly this idea about investing in our
worldclass staff everything from securing a 2% pay raise for all of our Educators to enticing um staff that serves in our CTE space to teach Within Adams 12 but to Alo also maintain and
sustain staff that we've been able to um provide to our schools from Esser funds post pandemic just to go a little bit deeper into that dive title one uh Student Success compensation we have uh went out
this year to accelerate Student Success Through an increased salary structure that reflects the expanded roles and responsibilities of teachers particularly in our Title One schools where we know it requires a significant
investment of the adults to do the just right things to support our students within those schools our desire is to expand that um to include all 15 schools over the course of the next three years you can see here through the elementary
PA and middle schools which schools we would plan um to continue to roll that out at um this year we are uh utilizing this structure at Thorton Elementary and Thorton Middle School simultaneously and then through this
program what we would like to do then is create a framework and a structure to be implemented implemented later at both North Glenn and Thorton high schools because we know those are our feeder systems that have the same needs we just have to learn from this structure and think about at a larger system at a
comprehensive High School how might we go about doing and expanding that type of work the expand mention of our CTE opportunities our Middle School exploratory um CTE we're really in the process right now of thinking about how
might we expand that and thinking about the different types of Pathways that are currently offered underneath that CTE um experience for students so our building leaders are currently engaging in conversation both amongst themselves
with our CTE team at our central office and then also with students where do their passion lie what are things they're wanting to do so you can see some things highlighted here a couple of the ones that are really popping out right now are this Agricultural and
natural resource pathway um the business marketing entrepreneurship and finance as you heard some of our um high school students speak about that Fam Family and consumer sciences and then this idea about design and Fabrication Labs um
where that has a multitude of opportunities housed under and there for our students but we hope to get that list um cinched up and closed up once we hear from all of our stakeholders and then a deeper dive and expansion of the CTE opportunities at
the high school level currently right now we have a high demand for several of our programs within Automation and intelligence systems um engineering design and advanced manufacturing and then our proart program which not only do we want to expand but we want to move
from this building to one of our um one of our Comprehensive High Schools or CTE buildings and then we'd like to add new options for some of the emerging industries that you heard some of our uh Community Partners discuss tonight around architectural design Aviation
cosmetology and barbering and dental assistance so what will happen if we don't um have an opportunity to go out for our M Levy over override we won't be able to maintain our current Staffing levels um we won't have Equitable access
to computer science at the elementary level we won't have an inability to engage middle schoolers in exploring future career opportunities due to the lack of CTE courses we will continue to be um challenged in attracting and
retaining and sustaining highquality Educators within Adams 12 at our most highly impacted schools but also in competition um with our part or our districts that surround us and then growing CT weight lists and current high
demand classes will continue to be there and limited ability to add those Pathways that we are starting to see as emerging Industries today thank you for your consideration and I will now pass off to our um Chief
Operating Officer to talk about our proposed Bond thank you Megan $830 million without raising taxes what an impact that is going to have on our system this is to remind you of the items we've been
talking about over the past few months in the Investments the top row is our renewal it's where our critical facility updates such as roofs Plumbing parking lots Middle School Fields HVAC playgrounds this is where our buildings
remain warm safe dry relevant as you heard today this is also where we housed our investments for school connectivity and it infrastructure we have also in here uh shown an icon for uh school safety
nothing is more important than the safety of our students and our staffs as they come into our buildings every day and we want to make sure we invest fully in their safety both physically and with uh p button door locks but also things
like cell service being improved in our schools and as you look at the bottom row I want to spend some time this is where our rebuild and reimagine of our facilities can happen and if you look at uh the first bucket of Thorton High
School rebuilding and remodeling Thorton High School could be a win for our entire community and such needed space this is our largest single investment in the Bond at 236 million and it's not surprising knowing that the price per square foot for construction has almost
doubled since the last time we went out for a bond in 2016 this project would not only upgrade and modernize the school building as it's reached its operational end of life um but by rebuilding the school we're going to ensure high quality and
functional learning um for decades to come second I'd like to just mention Tech education as you heard tonight and what Megan talked about with the M Levy override this bucket really houses the facility Investments that are needed to
achieve that and to meet that Vision this has two large facility projects and uh and completing these would help us like you heard reduce weight list expand options for kids in career focused courses and build out um our CTE space
at the secondary level finally uh the last to build a central warehouse and scratch K kitchen and expand preschool classrooms um this need has come after uh regulatory changes in state of Colorado with
universal preschool and Universal uh meals so healthy School meals for all and it it's time to invest in our facilities to meet those needs and access for our students what's new in the bond so before I go into to the three areas that
we've added into the bond since you've last heard our updates these are not new ideas these are ideas that were floated with you in December uh last spring and I think it's important to note and stamp for us today that none of these
Investments listed um change the Investments we talked about before these are additions how' we get there they were added based on expected market and economic conditions uh we anticipate to receive a conservative estimate of about
um 100 million in premium and interest uh over the life of the bond and as we look at that um these three investment areas on the screen would be about 28% of that expected amount so we feel like the risk would be very low and I think if you look at these as you hear the
explanations of these three investment categories there are three areas that would be very impactful to our students um and have an impact districtwide the first is uh building Central Kitchen we've been talking about a warehouse and you heard Bo talk about
that earlier but we haven't been talking about the menu site of things and uh Sarah gruno is here today and she is our director of nutrition services and it is her dream and mine as a dietician um for my entire career and spending 13 years
in school nutrition prior to this role um it we have dreams of of students coming in and having a a learning experience in our cafeteria think about the senses that they feel when they when they see a menu item uh
the things that they can experience the courage it takes to try something new these are things they can learn even during lunchtime breakfast time pretty exciting we also uh dream of taking students on field trips to see where the meal they ate came from with this it is
a community investment we can invest in local farmers uh we can bring their food uh to the plates and and um to our students to consume to learn and that's an exciting investment what we can do
another thing that's uh really possible with the central kitchen and having a more scratchmade menu would be that we would have control over ingredients and allergens that is a huge win we could take a cheese sauce today that's uh 21
ingredients and change that to five or less and have it out the door in two days to our students we could really have something that is a true Adams 12 product the uh other items I want to list are just as important and nothing more relevant than these 90° weeks um
air conditioning as you heard we have we built buildings and air conditioning wasn't throughout and there are some spaces um that are at times the hottest in the building not only because of the temperature but due to lack of air conditioning because of what students do
in those areas our gyms and our cafeterias we have four cafeterias that are still without air conditioning that we'd like to add into the bond and this proposal and we're doing that tonight in addition to we currently have 18 gyms in the district without air conditioning if you think about the physical activity
that happens in that room period after period and and what happens in those spaces before and after school in our summer programming it is now needed climate has changed in Colorado and uh the Comfort level in those uh spaces is
not great we would like to add 12 schools uh air conditioning in their gyms and four in their cafeterias through this proposal finally I want to end with without the bond uh we would need to use additional general fund dollars to
address critical maintenance and safety components this means fewer dollars available right for programming and other other needs we would have increased disruption to our daily learning due to our failing systems roofs Plumbing Heating Cooling we'd have
continued deterioration of thoron high school unwelcoming an unproductive learning environment we have continue to have these increased food delivery costs and the uncertainty of food distributor distributor Partnerships we wouldn't have the opportunity and uh to have our
kids see where their meals come from to invest in our community Farmers we'd have the inability to convert space and expand our preschool and CTE offerings um we'd have interrupted learning and safety concerns due to more unscheduled Tech out outages and we had
furniture that doesn't support our 21st Century Learning model and with that I will pass it off to Bo to continue our presentation wait Molly can I ask a quick question um maybe in your favorite
category here nutrition um I'm not going to pretend to be a gardener but I do know that when I cook more healthy from scratch type foods the shelf life of the food is not great um especially when you're removing a lot of those preservatives is there a plan in place if we um bring that Central Kitchen in
in this capacity for the leftover food the produce that wasn't used things like that absolutely we would definitely have that as a plan as we build out that model logistically and in our standard operating procedures we would make sure that one the food is safe right without preservatives you can
still have safe healthy food it's just about timing um how you preserve it not using the chemical way right um we would have um definitely a chef on board and make sure that our food and recipes are quality and and taking into account the
shelf life that is needed um in our system and we would we would have to plan all of those and we are starting that work and thinking now um hoping for for a great result in November so that we can hit the ground running thank you
okay it's going to refresh your minds to some very concrete examples on how both of these investment proposals work in tandem to yield the best possible results for our students so we've heard a lot tonight
and it's been a primary feature throughout our blueprint Journey the importance of expand in opportunities in both career and tech ed and stem fields and so part of that contemplates we have to have the spaces and their unique
spaces that allow for CTE and stem exploration these aren't typical classroom spaces these are unique spaces that have ventilation power needs uh can be quite large when you think about Aviation opportunities um we have to
provide spaces to do that at our middle schools we'll need to convert some classrooms to add uh some of this uh infrastructure that's necessary for these CTE Pathways to be added at the middle school so that's on the facility side then we want to make sure that we
have the materials the programming the expertise in terms of instruction to make that space flourish the way it's intended to so computer science we will need to think about what's the curriculum that's appropriate for a 5-year-old versus an 11-year-old and all
all the ages in between what do we want at CTE when it comes to the pathways but also the instructors a lot of these CTE Pathways require expertise that's atypical of a typical teacher pathway we have to hire those people and then as we
think about the high school expansion it's the materials it's the curriculum it's the talent to make it happen so spaces that allow for this and really good materials resources and instructor talent to make make it Thrive and board
members I had meant to warn you of this next piece tonight in work study but I didn't something we do in this building all the time now the George W Bailey Learning Center is we work with staff on professional learning and when there's a really important concept or slide that
we we say we want a stamp or underscore we have it read aloud for everyone and this is a good opportunity for board participation tonight so we have a few slides that are quotes from people within our system parents community members that talk about the importance
of these Investments starting with our welding instructure our welding instructor at Washington Square Glenn Ashley who is the brave board member who's going to read aloud what Mr Ashley had to say I'll start because I know Mr Ashley and this is not the only one
don't worry if you wanted a turn you will get a turn as well CTA creates a path for students where they didn't have one before a lot of students come in with little to no idea about where they'd like to go and that changes rapidly when they have these experiences
our CTE programs are very intensive and they help students wake up to new possibilities thank you very well done okay this is number two from one of our uh Community Partners and uh business owners who'd like to read this one I'll
step up to the plate okay we have found that c PE courses in high school are the foundation upon which skilled trades like diesel repair Thrive they Empower non- colge bound students to harness their potential and drive their future success in industries
that are truly needed to keep our economy moving and this was by Austin white owner of iron Buffalo thank you so that's one example uh my colleague Joe Fon is going to share another with
you and we have two more quotes so get ready to volunteer for those so um when we're talking about safe comfortable and welcoming environments it's really about as we've talked about and you've heard
tonight investing both in the physical and human capital and that um when you have we want to attract top tier talent that requires competitive compensation but it also includes a physical
environment that allows them to shine at their best and that's not just for staff but also for students to have those 3D printing machines that they can access
and not only that that we have hvx systems and roofs that are stable and that can protect those 3D printers from um overheating or leaks from the roof and so really creating that um physical
and human capital that is at its best as well as um just demonstrating to our students our families that they're valued they're welcome when they come into a well-lit school a school that's
got fresh paint new carpet um that we're engaging them and inspiring them to learn and succeed so really having uh those two aspects work together
so any volunteers for down our stem lab parent I'll do it okay actually I I'm also a stem lab parent so it's appropriate investing in school infrastructure is not just about buildings and classrooms it's about creating a second home for our children
just as we prioritize the safety comfort and welcoming atmosphere of our own homes we should also Ure Ure that schools are equipped to provide a nurturing environment where learning thrives Allison parent stem lab thank
you okay and one more um from Alicia sack at Century Middle School I grew up in Adam's 12 five star schools and when it and knew it was exactly where I wanted to be when I became a teacher with competitive Pay
Teachers can afford to live where their students and family lives and that not that only makes the connections and relationships stronger both inside and outside of the classrooms teachers learn the most about their students and families by being immersed in the communities in which they
live okay thank you both we've uh updated you previously on just the community engagement that's led up to this proposal um which has been
more than a year now in terms of conversations with various stakeholders within our community um and we've been from surveys and task force and polls and websites and different
literature just um continuing to keep uh getting input from our community as well as reporting back in terms of what we're hearing and what the potential Investments are that are being
contemplated uh through both the proposed Bond and M Levy override uh one of the key places for that engagement as well as finding detailed information has been our
openhouse uh website we've got the address up there um that also most recently has the addition of our District map and you can go into any school uh within the district and find
detail proposed Investments there uh both in terms of programming uh as well as facilities so um that continues to be a hight trffic area where many of our community members
are going to to learn more about uh blueprint and and then finally I uh will have Bo just uh close us out here so we've been giving you updates for the past several months and we get
into the weed sometimes the the minute details of this and I think it's important as we near the finish line that we take a minute and talk about the why behind this and for me it's a story of past present and future boards before you over the history of
our district and taxpayers in this community have at different times contemplated further local investments in our system when taxpayers have said yes that's a good investment we've benefited as a community sometimes it yields a
superintendent to come back and serve in the district that he went through other times today I had the pleasure being at the foundation we graduate people that end up opening new businesses serving in high ranking roles in business business hire our graduates invest in our
community that's the past and I heard it and I've seen it loud and clear the past several months because of opportunities for new schools new programming people thrived and continue to thrive in our community locally nationally with distinction in our military because
there have been opportunities afforded them over time through Investments that I would say end up paying off tfold down the line here and Beyond that's the past the present and the future I'm going to let students speak CU they do it far better than any of us can but as we
think about this it's really so that the next superintendent the next entrepreneur the next Army General the next so many awesome Adams 12 alumnist have the opportunity to make good on all the comments we heard tonight and be
everything that is possible for them and I'm going to let these students who were featured at the kickoff that was mentioned earlier here today kind of sum up why these kind of Investments and this kind of future thinking is so important what makes me proud of being a
part of the stem launch community is the perseverance for my education and well-being also the diversity of the community there and support for exploring and expressing the ways of my culture culture though I'm here today not just as a graduate but as someone
whose life was changed whose course was altered by the experiences and opportunities offered by Adams 12 my Junior and senior years at Future forward CTE classes that I discovered the path that truly resonated with me
attending future forward was like stepping into a new world of possibility the construction classes that I took there were not merely about learning skills or a trade they were about uncovering a passion and finding a true sense of purpose your commitment to
fostering an environment where students can try new things and take risks is invaluable I had the privilege of attending Vantage Point's first concurrent enrollment college class and today I can happily say I'm a bachor
scholar I moved to United States on July 15 20121 being a High School junior was difficult day by day school become more more enjoyable I found friends and learn about their cultures and religions teachers were friendly and funny they
always tried to help me even though my English was very limited at the time I truly appreciate all my teacher who stood by me to help me to achieve my goals graduating from thiran high school was a Dream came true to me Washington Square was my safe place to try new
things and see what I liked and transform myself into the person I want to go up to be but if it wasn't for Mr Cooper I would not be the person standing here today he was my construction teacher for 3 years and it's thanks to him that I am a backtack
skills USA state champion for plumbing and with all the lessons I learned along the way I am proud that I have recently received an mtech experience award as a first year Apprentice no student could have ever done it on their own and that is where you teachers and staff
commitment and consistency comes in you were all one team transforming all these students to be the best version of themselves it's okay if you want to clap I mean I think it's worth it um we've got a lot of folks here that
have been uh inold to the work and know a lot of the details around both the uh milley override and bond uh Investments if you have questions I don't know if you noticed if you have an opportunity to watch this again I think Chris's reaction and his jaw-dropping to the the
last statement of the student there is probably the most a inspiring I think we were all sitting there on stage as she delivered that uh she was the first Speaker of the day and boy it was tough to follow after that she was really outstanding so happy to answer questions if you have them we've got a lot of
folks uh on staff tonight that are available if you have those um because we want to make sure you have all your questions answered uh before you consider this next Wednesday night questions I just have one comment
um sharing some of this information at back to school nights it was really exciting to see the parents in my community of South Thorin how excited they were about a potential new high school
and talking about how this will give their kids opportunities that they didn't have and that every parent wants that for their kid and it was just so it was just so exciting to talk to them and I didn't
grow up in this community and um so getting to be with parents who have and our kids attending school together or you know seeing them at the grocery store seeing them at uh different places in our little South Thorton area um it
was just so cool and you even one parent who says he will he never votes and will not vote is committed to voting for these two measures so it was just it's really yeah you guys did a lot of great
work any other questions it's been fun to be a part of the LR pack the last couple of years and watch this journey you're here thank you for the time we'll see you next week thank
you you do have the uh proposed ballot language um in your packets um to read over but will there possibly be some edits to so what we have in the packet is the language that we would propose uh be
certified so if you have questions or proposed changes to that language it would be helpful to hear that tonight uh we also have I see in the back to the room Maddie uh who has lots of investment knowledge and background who can answer technical questions about how
all of this fits together any questions okay well address this next week thank you guys what would you think about like a five minute break
sure five minutes right e e e e e e e e
e e e e e e e e e all right kids do we want to get going
again of course we can get going you guys can carry on oh Paula we're missing one okay I'm feeling the air a little bit now maybe because less people are in here should be move the AC down to 69
but sometimes it takes a while to get going so sorry that's I mean I'm like this all the time seriously like my kids walk in the house or Kyle walk and put on their sweatshirt away okay all right we're going to go
back to monitoring reports um internal monitor monitoring report operation limitations policy 2.1 treatment of students their families and community members I will entertain a motion to acknowledge that the board has received a monitoring report as of August 21st
2024 for the period July 1 2023 through June 30th 2024 of the superintendent concerning board policy 2.1 treatment of students their families and community members and finds the superintendent's interpretations are reasonable and supported by data that is relev relevant
Justified and complete I entertaining a motion so moved second okay Mr B superintendent gadowski board members uh that truly is a tough act to follow the blueprint presentation
and I see the audience agrees with that um in terms of the report just want to offer a few summary comments and then I'm more than happy to entertain any questions you might have U the first thing I wanted to point out and I believe Joe for Donnie addressed this on
the first page if you did not notice the participation in the family survey significantly decreased and went down a little over well not quite 1,00 responses um I believe Joe talked a little bit about that in the spring but I wanted to just bring that up to your
attention and also um in talking with members of the communication staff they mentioned one of the prime factors they believe for that decrease was the survey window didn't fall within all schools conferences schools had a choice of when they held their winter conferences and
that's where many schools drum up support for that survey they have QR codes they uh ask parents to respond to the survey at that time so we feel that was a pretty significant impact on the response rate particularly in the southern end of the district where um
many of those people don't respond many of those community members don't respond to that survey so I just wanted to point that out so the Communications Department is thinking about ways to make sure we don't run into that situation again this year uh also related to the survey one thing that
doesn't is not necessarily clear in the report but generally the data overall on that survey was positive last um last winterish and the all the questions that were included in this report were either an increase or stable performance so I
just wanted to call that out in terms of the Panorama data also on page six if you look at this deals with the disproportionality data um we found to be just partially in compliance here in terms of suspension there was
disproportionate uh susp out of school suspension of Hispanic and Latino students and multilingual Learners and in terms of uh expulsions it was Hispanic Latino students males and multilingual Learners um just for
context the last four years we've seen in each of those years Hispanic students and multilingual Learners disproportionately suspended or and expelled compared to the state so those groups are persistent other groups come in and out um so I wanted to let
reference that um so wanted to make sure you had some idea there that we only report partial compliance in that area if you then go to page nine there were a number as you look at policy uh wording
2.1.5 there are a number of complaints that are listed there with some information six in terms of District federal or state complaints and then one to the appeal to the board of education however we are finding that we're complying with a standard because um we
have addressed those uh complaints or will be addressing the complaint that came in very late um and then finally on page 10 um there's some information typically what we report here in the section under facilities data typically we're reporting on the bond the the
Investments that we're making on the bond obviously given when the bond was passed and US potentially looking at a new Bond there's not much to report there there's not that many many funds left but Margie Aon was was kind enough to give me a number of these Investments that have been made at a number of
schools uh around safety and and well-being for those structures so I wanted to mention that even though not all of them are directly Ed to tied to priorities of the bond at this point like to address potentially any questions you may have anybody of
me Paula um I have a question around you've already mentioned the disproportionality around expulsion and suspension rates and I really appreciate that that transparency and the um table that you all provide at at the back as well what
I would like to know is um what we've done to sort of explore this issue in the past and what the plans are moving forward in the future um I understand that we're sort of still in line some degree with what's happening at the state but I would like to see us still
take this as a an area of that needs attention um and see how you know just understand how we're working to address it right what I would share in from my role I know I've worked with Lori Bailey and her team in terms of examining these
data to look at the information one thing I can say when you compare the rates from the 2122 data to the 2223 data while those U multilingual Learners and Hispanic students do have are are disproportionately disciplined those r
are coming down the gaps are closing a little bit um so we are seeing incremental progress not as much progress as we would like to see I know uh Marie McKenzie and her leadership role in terms of the Department of equity is significantly focused on this
um and so I know those two departments are really working and collaborating on this unfortunately I don't have a lot of specifics but I can definitely look into that connect with those departments and see what we can do to provide you with more specific concrete information that sounds great thank
you anybody else okay we're ready to vote unless do you want to add anything Chris okay director Assad Lucas hi director bastelli I director Goldstein I director
Marsh holen I director Potter I okay internal monitoring report operating limitations policy 2.4 Financial condition activities I will entain a motion to acknowledge that the board has received a monitoring report as of August 21st
2024 for the period July 1st 2023 through June 30th 2024 of the superintendent concerning board policy 2.4 Financial condition and activities and finds the superintendent's interpretations are reasonable and supported by data that is relevant
Justified and complete so move second okay hello Aon good evening board thanks for having me tonight we have what comes before you is not only
just the monitoring report but it's us statutory duty to look at the corly financials and get a corly financial report I just have really a couple quick things to to talk about I know that that Stephanie has been told that I also only
get 3 minutes so what I tell my team is that the key to good communication is brevity and I do not follow that so I will attempt to tonight okay similar to the things that
we've T discussed really over the last year with you in looking at this overall monitoring report and I want to highlight two or three different things the first is as we end the fiscal year
fiscal year ended June 30th we continue to close the books the books will be closed at the end of this month the end of August and we are already well into our audit season part of that is continuing to
look at the fund balance and reserves and meeting the requirement of the minimum 4% of unassigned fund balance which we have done when we look at Cash positions Investments and liquidity what I will
say here is the state did a fantastic thing for us all this last year which started in which started in July we are now receiving our state share over 9 months
instead of 12 and if that doesn't sound like a big thing it's actually um um 54 plus million dollar more money being received to the district before February which is a huge issue for us around liquidity in other words by the time we
get to February we have 54 million more in cash available to us to us without having to rely on waiting for property taxes to come in when we look at accounts payable accounts receivable we're doing a lot of
training in the department to make sure everyone is up to speed on all the statutory Regulatory and other Federal changes that have happened over the last few years we continue to do that training we continue
to make sure that everyone is up to speed on what their statutory requirements are we've done quite a bit of talk about the bonds and tracking of the bonds think what is a good preview should both
the bond and the MLL pass that you know that this is something that we will just continue doing where we've already been monitoring the bonds we've been tracking the mlo and how those Investments have being been spent and we'll continue
that should those come to fruition talked a little bit about the audit and the audit starting the only piece I want to I want to add three things around the audit we will have the audit wrapped up by
October 31st and so we're very committed with our Auditors to ensure that we meet that date the audit includes and I think this is important for the board to understand especially now before we get the audit
complete it includes an audit report on the internal control over financial reporting so really taking a look at our overall internal internal controls and in compliance over Federal Awards you may think well Esther is done
you have no more compliance over Federal Awards we do so idea is one of our major programs this year that we are taking a hard look on how we are spending those monies and that we are in compliance with Federal guidance there is also a
Federal Communications uh grant that we've also received and that is our other major program just south of $8 million and so both of those together are close to $15
million where the Auditors are paying special attention related to internal control what I would also say is this will be a really fun year uh between now and finishing this audit into next year
we have five new accounting standards so that's a lot of fun lots to research which I just love to do um that I wasn't being sarcastic that's actually something I love to do and uh we also have a brand new implementation guide which impacts us and we also have new
brand new uniform guidance related to Grants that comes into play on October 1st so as I talked about not only on accounts payable but also payroll and all these pieces on internal control we appreciate the amount of investment and
time that we are given in order to do our own PD within our department so that we are understanding how these pieces impact the district again on the corly financial statements those pieces you have and
we've provided those corly financials to you as a part of our statutory uh statutory duties the big piece here is the end of the year forecast it's really kind of important to know right now where We've
Ended up because as October comes into play October really begins for us the kickoff of the brand new budget year so having knowledge about where we ended up where we're forecasting to end up becomes that kickoff for for the budget
planning for 2526 any questions any questions comments D director Assad Lucas I director bastelli I director Goldstein I director Marsh holen I director Potter
I thank you Aon okay back to board business go on to dfac and LR Pac membership I will entertain a motion to approve the membership rosters for the DAC and updated LR Pac for 2024 2025 and
to appoint members to the fact as presented so move Second Joe okay um real quickly tonight you uh what's before you is approving 33 new
members and then as well as the returning members for the three board committees um just brief background recruiting took place in the spring uh for our board
committees have a multi-pronged approach to that in terms of it's in five star news we send uh a standalone recruitment email out and then we have email invitations that we send to alumni of five-star
leadership at academy and our other parent groups and then at the um last session of the five-star Leadership Academy and Laos festar uh we have a volunteer fair and
part of what we talk about there is opportunities to take the next step in terms of getting involved in the in the district um then we collect those applications and then send them to the
committee leads for each of the board committees so one of the things we always strive to have is representation from all of our director districts and uh we're really pleased that this year we got applications from every director
District so with that if you have any questions before you approve I'm happy to answer those anybody director Assad Lucas I director belli I director Goldstein I director
Marsh holen I director Potter I okay um can I just make one quick after the fact comment on that uh I think about when I first started in the legal seat 18 years ago in the district then dsat was about a four person to
Sixers group at the time most of the time Dak has since taken his place and obviously has a lot of members many who return every year and then others obviously who want to on board we didn't have a long range Planning Group at all you would just pull people together ad
hoc uh in the summer before a bomb measure was proposed and then they would go away and we had no finance and audit group whatsoever so in terms of this uh Community Partnership piece I'm grateful for the work pushing us on the staff side to create more of those structur
and for a variety of folks on staff including Communications and nurturing those structures and making it meaningful for parents we really made huge strides over the last 18 years in that space yes um the importance of uh Community participation and the
willingness of them wanting to do it shows how well we do things well and again even going back to accountability it's an opportunity for us to be held accountable but I I mean
like even with fact it was developed after well with the uh last Mill and how successful it's been tracking those dollars and being accountable to the public and um the were poort so yeah I
think these are really great Partnerships okay on to election official I will entertain a motion to to approve the intergovernmental agreements between Adams 12 fstar Schools Board of Education and the Adams County Clerk and Recorder and the board and the City and
