2
00:07:50.800 --> 00:08:05.360
Anyone here for public comment? All right, there being no one, we're going to move into our program review. We have Miss Maria Mens and Miss Kris here for Q comp

3
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:22.240
review of 2025 2026. >> Good evening. Thank you again for having us uh annually at the June meeting. I am Megan Gibbus. I am the district Q comp advisor >> and I'm Maria Mens Comp adviser for the district and health and PE in high

4
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:38.240
school. >> Just our leadership roles uh in other leadership roles at the high school. We have Rachel Holmes and Margie Miller, Jessica Banker at the intermediate school as well as representing the preschool and then Meredith Weo at the

5
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:57.040
elementary. our cycles. Um, I won't read verbatim for each one, but the preschool elementary went with the math goal to increase from 78.84 to 79.34.

6
00:08:57.040 --> 00:09:14.959
Intermediate went with also a math goal 86.1% increasing to 86.6. And then the high school um went with reading and increase the goal was to get 86.56

7
00:09:14.959 --> 00:09:33.360
up to 87.06. And so here are the results of those goals. The uh preschool elementary did meet their goal with a score of 79.4%. Uh the intermediate and the high school did not meet their goals. Uh they fell

8
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:56.440
short. The intermediate was at 83.1% of that math goal and the high school was at 83.7% of that high school or that reading goal. The district goal was on math as well and the goal was met at 84.63%.

9
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:14.720
Um, and we we sorry. Oh, shut off everything but my watch. Um, the last day we were going to test was the day that we had no school for cyber security attack. So, that was

10
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:31.519
really some um >> was a challenge. It was a challenge to get those kids cuz when with math in the high school they are you could have 9 through 12 in one class and so you can't test a whole class together and so to handp pick and we were down to the

11
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:47.200
finals day. >> Yes. >> Asking kids like do you have a final next hour? Could you take this M? I mean >> trying to figure out because we had to have them taking it in the laps. They could not take it on obviously their devices. So when when we saw that that Monica told us the final score, we're

12
00:10:47.200 --> 00:11:03.920
like, you're worked real hard. >> We didn't know if we're going to get everybody tested. So >> yeah. So anyways, um yeah, uh high school or the highlights from each of the buildings, uh preschool highlights, uh they worked on enhancing

13
00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:19.680
daily language instruction, working through integrating play-based strategies for letter recognition and early literacy. um they noted that their collabor collaboration time is very valuable um at PLC's because they have differing

14
00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:37.320
schedules. So it's really an opportunity their only opportunity to get together and um have that collaboration. Uh TSG which is teaching strategy gold their assessment uh data analysis identify students strengths and weaknesses allowing them to adjust their teaching.

15
00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:53.920
Some highlights from the elementary. Um, the cycle switched to a math focus. There was new curriculum. Is that right, Rachel? >> Yeah. Language arts continues to be a focus through the letters training with that group. PLC topics um centered

16
00:11:53.920 --> 00:12:11.959
around reviewing updated math standards, previewing the resources for the new curriculum, and then anxiety and mental health. Um next year the focus is to continue with math and then dive into the teaching in the new curriculum. Actually

17
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:30.639
um in the intermediate uh dis shifted the 202526 cycle to math um but continue to maintain a focus on language arts. They had teachers finishing up the letters portion of the readact training. Um and

18
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:48.240
then teachers from really four, five and six too um beginning the strive training which is the um secondary kind of approach to the science of reading training. PLC topics included um analysis of common lit assessments.

19
00:12:48.240 --> 00:13:04.480
Common lit is a curriculum that we have 5 through 12 that is really reading based but can tie in some of those other core areas like social studies and science. Um and so it's an online program that they use to kind of compare

20
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:20.399
against other summitive assessments. um analyzing, aligning, and implementing new math curriculum with the state standards, ensuring common assessments and instructional units, as well as working on um student self-esteem, confidence, resilience, and

21
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:40.079
strengthening that family school partnership. >> Okay. In the high school, um we did a reading cycle. Um and that was was that was it reading last year? and we met all of our goals last year and so those numbers we crushed them. So we knew that

22
00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:55.760
that was going to be a tough goal to meet but we chose to do that since math was implementing a new curriculum >> and we had like a core of new brand new teachers. So >> yes and so that's why we did go with math for the district goal. But anyway,

23
00:13:55.760 --> 00:14:12.079
PLC topics for the high school this year was student self-reflection and self- assessment. Um, enhancing the student writing across subjects using the writing rope as a framework. uh implementing new strategies and approaches outlined by the new

24
00:14:12.079 --> 00:14:27.360
curriculum with state standards, focusing on literacy and conceptual understanding, and focus on sustained concentration during reading, which Megan can allude to that being an ongoing battle.

25
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:43.600
>> Um, and then districtwide, uh, so we kind of just finished up another year of looking at the, um, observation rubric, uh, that we worked with TD&E. Um this was kind of a pilot year working through that and then bringing feedback to the

26
00:14:43.600 --> 00:15:00.639
TD and E committee to modify and update that um observation rubric. And then also um we increased the number of work sessions just teachers really um appreciate that time to collaborate to continue working on initiatives and so we were able to kind of increase the

27
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:16.079
opportunities. We worked with um the elementary actually had requested um possibly or uh offering a morning session and Meredith was gracious enough to come in early and facilitate that. So um it just continues to be an

28
00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:34.079
opportunity for teachers always say what do we need is time. So we give them that time to continue to work on those initiatives. Looking ahead to next year, we're going to continue to focus on math and literacy. Um 4 through 12 ELA science of

29
00:15:34.079 --> 00:15:49.839
reading training through Strive is this will be year two of two. So we started yeah those teachers that are in this this phase two is what we call it. Um started in March and so that will continue again all of next year.

30
00:15:49.839 --> 00:16:04.079
deeper understanding and application of the updated observation rubric which Katie are you are you meeting before school starts with TDN to make any changes prior to

31
00:16:04.079 --> 00:16:23.759
>> we'll do the board session >> okay >> yes >> okay >> sounds good um high school will be implementing secondary lead LC groups um >> PLC groups,

32
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:39.440
>> sorry. >> Um our our groups in the high school are primarily subject based, but our secondary groups we're going to have grade level based so we can kind of have that different conversation um as they

33
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:55.600
see the same kids more so. Um so that's going to happen once a month. That's something that'll be new. Um, and then Megan and I each year train the new staff on our observation process, but it's been it's been a while since our

34
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:11.600
our >> entire staff >> entire staff has been trained. So we are going to kind of do a train the trainer and facilitate that through the our PLC groups >> especially with the um observation then rubric being updated and just having a

35
00:17:11.600 --> 00:17:30.400
deeper understanding of some of those changes that were made just a refresher. >> I think that's it. Yeah. >> Any question from a board's perspective on that on the new teacher evaluation? We've just changed enough of it that it

36
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:48.480
requires now per statute board approval and union vote. So we're going to bring it I believe we're work sessioning it work sessioning it in July or August August work session board approval in September along with an a

37
00:17:48.480 --> 00:18:09.400
coinciding with that. Got >> it. Any other questions for Mar and May? >> Thank you very much. >> Appreciated all the work that goes into it. I know you two spearhead a lot of this. So, thank you.

38
00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:25.760
>> Next on the agenda is our consent agenda. This uh section of the agenda has a variety of standard reports related to minutes or financial uh reports for the previous month. Do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda?

39
00:18:25.760 --> 00:18:40.799
>> Rachel first, second by Ryan. Any discussion? >> All those in favor? >> Any opposed? Right. The motion carries. The consent agenda is approved. The next item on the agenda is the resolution for

40
00:18:40.799 --> 00:19:02.080

accompaniest and cohorts $250 for the Delano archery program. Again, all of these uh organizations have generously donated for the items listed above and we are extremely grateful for that. >> Do I have a motion to approve? >> Can I ask a question?

47
00:20:41.919 --> 00:20:58.320
>> Yes. So on the football there, what what are supply overages? Does that mean? >> So that's if they bought a bunch of stuff, which they did, and I don't off the top of my head remember what it was. All that runs through Julie

48
00:20:58.320 --> 00:21:14.480
Strobble, but she keeps track. So they get so much of a budget every year, but this didn't even cover everything that they have already paid for that needs to be reimbursed. Whether it was extra, you know, they buy the balls with the special decals and all that kind of

49
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:30.240
stuff, different jerseys, all that stuff runs through the school district and then they turn um Julie Strobble turns around and bills the different booster clubs to get reimbursed for anything over their small supply budgets that they're allocated.

50
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:46.559
So the overages means they over spent what the district would allocated and you got the booster club has to reimburse. >> Is that all with checks and balances and stuff or are they just they're not making errors? >> No. No. They've agreed to We know you're

51
00:21:46.559 --> 00:22:02.640
going to go off budget. The boosters are going to make >> Well, they have their own booster club account. So like each program knows how much money they have in their booster club account. And I assume that has to do with some of that safety gear that they had to buy. New helmets, new pads, all that stuff.

52
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:18.240
>> They didn't have to Well, if it was >> They didn't buy that stuff. No, >> no. All seasons bought the helmets. Now they rent them if I remember right. >> I think that was the process. Yeah. >> Yeah. No, this is just >> And I guess the reason I ask is we don't have to solve this today. But there was

53
00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:34.960
discussion about the fees for sports that have higher expenditures being higher. And you know, look, people that are running cross country are paying the same fees as people that are playing football and other things. And >> right,

54
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:51.200
>> that's not all that um >> even >> but not the same as hockey, right? >> Yeah. And that's a whole different discussion of course, but >> okay. That's that's still probably yet to come. >> Uh, you know, hockeyy's already done it.

55
00:22:51.200 --> 00:23:07.120
>> Yeah. >> Football's probably going to be next to try to take a good look at if these requirements, you know, they came up with a creative solution of the renting of the helmets, which was a way better cost of, if you remember a few years back, we were like, this is going to be a huge amount of money. Yeah. >> Because all these helmets are illegal

56
00:23:07.120 --> 00:23:23.760
now and they got to be legal. >> So, they've gotten to be creative to stem that for a while. >> This is their own money. They fund raise to cover their own expenses. >> You're you're telling me that the football team fundraised this in and of itself.

57
00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:38.559
>> Yeah. Each one has their own separate account for their fundraisers go to within the booster club. >> We actually I know is because we just are in the process of moving girls basketball off of our youth program into the booster club like all the rest of

58
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:55.120
them do. and they actually take they will take the money from our account for them and it will go into their specific earmarked account within the Delhi Tiger Athletic Booster Club. So that individual program has somehow come up with that much money. It's not like stealing from a pool if you will that they

59
00:23:55.120 --> 00:24:12.640
>> need more than cross country or whatever else. It's >> Yeah, we should I mean maybe this should be more clear on that then because it looks like it's coming out of the main fund. Well, when we get a check, it just says Delano Athletic Booster Club,

60
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:29.039
but by telling you that it's for football, I think because it's all under just Delano Athletic Booster Club, how they've got it separated is their deal. Um, but yeah, the checks are it's just one organization. They're the 501c3, but then they kind of split it out

61
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:44.880
underneath them, but they're not individual accounts. It's still just Tiger. it's DTABC, but then by looking at what is being funded for that, that tells you which sport is that they're sending the

62
00:24:44.880 --> 00:25:01.840
check for. Does that make sense? >> It totally does. I'm just talking about the kind of public relations side of it that the cross country team needs this much money and other teams need that much money. And if they're doing their

63
00:25:01.840 --> 00:25:17.840
own fundraising, then we should maybe try to represent bigger numbers like this when we're facing the public to like avoid a conversation about it. >> Yep. And >> that's my only point. >> Yeah. And >> you're doing it right. I get it. Okay. I totally get.

64
00:25:17.840 --> 00:25:33.600
>> Yeah. And by the time we see this, it's already a done deal. So it's whatever is happening in the activities office is how it's being approved ahead of time. >> We definitely look at it though. I get that

65
00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:48.799
>> we want to make sure that >> everything is on the up and up. As far as do we have to have a broader discussion of how budgetary allocations are happening based on cross or not cross football

66
00:25:48.799 --> 00:26:04.000
>> andor them then but the difficulty is is that boosters are of their own entity and they fundra >> we don't have any control and and if the coach says well here are my needs the booster's like we'll take care of this

67
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:21.360
this this like Okay. >> The co the coaches are pretty adamant though. Like the ones who are let's just say you were a cross country coach and you were part of the boosters. If you were fundraising and none of that money, >> they're very quick to leave. Like they don't have to be part of the boosters.

68
00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:37.679
>> And by being part of the boosters, they they agree to, you know, basically separate your money. Even if it's not a different account, right? It's tracked to know this money was raised by so and so. in there. It's the same when they like have a booster paid coach for five grand or whatever it is comes out of

69
00:26:37.679 --> 00:26:53.520
their specific earmarked money that they raised, >> right? >> But it's probably just general education. I don't know, maybe the booster club could come and tell us about it one time or somebody give us a 10-minute spiel so we could be better. >> We could talk to it better too if asked, you know, >> like is the budget allocated equally and

70
00:26:53.520 --> 00:27:09.120
how is that set up? >> Follow that. >> I like that idea, Ryan. >> Yeah. >> Future agenda. to me when I learned about it from the bat. I think so. >> All right. Um, any other Do we have a motion for

71
00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:24.480
>> Oh, yeah. I'll make the motion. >> Okay. Thanks, Cory. First, uh, we have a first. We have a second. >> Second. >> All right. Second by Baker. This is a roll call vote. >> Board member Sha. >> Hi. >> Board member Baker. >> Hi. >> Board member Mora. >> Hi. >> Board member Dea. >> Hi.

72
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:40.400
>> Board member Gerky. Hi. >> Board member Black. Hi. >> And board member Roser. >> Hi. >> All right. All right, the resolution passes. Next item on the agenda is our personnel report. There is a it's quite a big list. I don't know, Matt, if there's anything

73
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:56.399
other than normal summer hiring. >> Yeah, the from, you know, pretty standard for the retirement resations and things. The recommendation for employment is a lot of summer coaches, community ed programming. It's just that time of the

74
00:27:56.399 --> 00:28:12.799
year. June is always pretty robust in preparation for summer hires. >> Couple minor things I know on um one Mary just mentioned it's her last meeting so I know we mentioned this before but thank you for all you've done and we appreciate that. I know you're sticking around a little bit and Scott

75
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:29.200
we look forward to working with you more. Um the other piece is and I know he's um not here but this would have been Barry's last meeting and as the board we just wanted to say we thank him for all of his uh work that he's done over the time that he's been here at Delano and

76
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:46.080
we wish him all the best in the future. With that, do I have a motion to approve the um personnel agenda or personnel matters report? >> Dep second. >> Second by Ryan. Do we have any other

77
00:28:46.080 --> 00:29:03.840
discuss besides what I'm mentioned? All right. All those in favor? >> Any opposed? The personnel report is passed. Next up, administrative reports. First up, our superintendent, Matt Shane.

78
00:29:03.840 --> 00:29:19.679
>> Thank you, ladies and gentlemen of the board. And I would like to pass on tremendous amount of thanks to Mary. I know this is Mary's last official school board meeting. Um, but since the cyber incident and since uh we were a little delayed with it was a perfect storm in

79
00:29:19.679 --> 00:29:34.880
the business office. We had couple of key positions that just weren't filled and just wasn't working well. And uh Mary and Matt had a conversation in my office and Mary graciously said, "Listen, I'll stick around." And so we've got a transition plan. She's

80
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:54.960
retiring, but it's going to be in a gradual release model. >> How many years is she going to stick around? >> I was thinking months. >> It started as weeks got the money. So we negotiated. So with much appreciation

81
00:29:54.960 --> 00:30:11.279
there and we look forward to Scott continuing his transition into his position to Okay. Uh my report that I would like to just give today uh thank you for the opportunity for the superintendent to give an update to the board. Obviously

82
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:26.399
we always do everything and all the work that we do is aligned with our district mission and vision uh with regards to the core values of the five areas and pillars of our vision. It is also the values of a tiger. These drive our words and actions and excellent teamwork,

83
00:30:26.399 --> 00:30:43.120
belonging and grit and we want to make sure that we are aligned and continue to do that. The board did some heavy lifting well over a year ago already. So that does guide our work and creates the pathway and the vision for that. I would like to update the board and the rest of the community on our community education

84
00:30:43.120 --> 00:31:00.480
building updates. The facilities committee will hold its fourth meeting out of five on Thursday, June 25th at the community ed building. Our agenda items include establishment of needs of the building. What are the needs for the future of facility needs of the

85
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:15.440
community ed building. We're going to create that criteria to establish to meet the established needs and then we're going to start to develop consensus statements and evaluation criteria to be utilized for various solution options. So, how large is it

86
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:30.559
going to be? What type of things are going to be in it? Is there going to be a kitchen? Is there going to be all sorts of other areas? Indoor, outdoor, playground, parking, safety, all of those things. We'll start creating those statements to make sure that we can

87
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:50.080
evaluate needs and creating the criteria for the building. The strategic plan vision card update. We talked a little bit about this during the work session, but our measurements are in five levels and they score from in that area from intervention to high

88
00:31:50.080 --> 00:32:06.640
concern to baseline to progressing and then obviously we always want to shoot for level five which is the vision of what we do for the work for the year. The five main areas of measurement were achievements, graduation, desired daily experience

89
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:22.880
statements and then I'll go on to the next page. I'm going to hold with the board on achievement until we have all of the results that will be available in August. So, you'll probably see maybe in August, September achievement update. Graduation, which is weighted at 10% of

90
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:37.440
the work that we did within our three-year strategic plan. This is the percent of students graduating in four years using the nth grade cohort model, which means when you start in nth grade, you go through our building in our our school. What does it look like? All

91
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:53.039
students received a 5.0. The subgroup when you broke it down into subgroups of students. We have a few students that still ran a little short. So, we're working on that. But overall, very well. We we perform historically very well

92
00:32:53.039 --> 00:33:07.519
with our graduating class. With regards to our desired daily experience statements, we have about a 25% weight of the work that we do. That's the percent of agreement of the DTE statements taken from the district climate survey. students, staff, and

93
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:25.440
families. We averaged out to about 2.9, which is just at the very high end of a high concern, but just under the baseline level. So, we're going to take a deeper dive in our retreat in August to drive our action cards of how we can then uh have a an increased improvement

94
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:42.880
area of the DDE statements with the three stakeholders. The initiative implementation which is weighted at 20%. Initiative implementation score on key initiatives using fidelity of implementation assessments. Examples is our MTSS, the

95
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:59.840
read act, the that's the letters training, the strive training, what you saw and what's happening in preschool on up throughout the entire district and building action cards are there in our emergency management. How are we performing with our protocols and our standard response measures? Our baseline

96
00:33:59.840 --> 00:34:16.879
level there 3.8. So we that's pretty good. That's closing in on progressing. So we're doing pretty well there. Operational measures which is weighted at about 15%. This is the percent complete of all operational measures. Examples would be our financial health,

97
00:34:16.879 --> 00:34:32.079
our operational efficiency, human resources, student enrollment and demographics. And we showed you a little bit about what that how that is measured. And we scored again 3.8% 8% which is baseline level but getting into that area of progressing as well. Our

98
00:34:32.079 --> 00:34:49.119
composite score without achievement because we don't have the complete data there is 2.5 out of 3.5. But more importantly, you know what does that mean? Well, when you take a deeper dive into the vision card, we're able to establish some actionable items that we

99
00:34:49.119 --> 00:35:06.079
need to address in next year's action card as a part of year two of the strategic plan. We're also able to celebrate things that we did really well, including some of the statements that were measured and what people want in their experience when they come to the schools as a student, as a parent or

100
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:23.359
work in the buildings as staff members, but we just want to keep track of everything and it's a good measurable tool. It takes a while to go through it and to digest it. For our first year, I think overall we're doing pretty well. It will be very interesting to see what achievement comes with because that's actually the largest weight of our work

101
00:35:23.359 --> 00:35:40.640
for obvious reasons. Any questions for the superintendent? >> I have one question just because I didn't call it out in the work session, but on that question about graduation or whatever it was, how how can all students be 100% and then you're telling

102
00:35:40.640 --> 00:35:56.320
me subgroups are less than 100? What does that mean? >> No, 5.0 doesn't mean 100%. The rubric is 95 to 100%. >> Okay. >> So, we landed with all students in that rubric >> 5.0. >> 4.7 still within that same level.

103
00:35:56.320 --> 00:36:15.839
>> Gotcha. >> But it was just a couple of students short. Got >> good clarifying question. Okay. Thank you. Next up, Miss Schultz looking with the new >> Wait a minute. Sorry. No, you can sit

104
00:36:15.839 --> 00:36:32.800
down, please. Question there. Every year, um, staff are recognized for the years of service. And it's kind of interesting because board members, your years of service really is on the calendar year. So, actually, Jim Gerky has served over

105
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:55.040
now five years as a school board member. Let's give him a big round of applause. Seems like Ted Congratulations. Thank you very >> in the office. >> Great job. >> The few people are members that have

106
00:36:55.040 --> 00:37:13.760
those certificates at the table. >> I got five. >> I can't remember. >> I got five. >> All right. Next up, Miss Schultz. >> Oh, good evening everybody. Thank you for having me on behalf of the

107
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:30.240
elementary school. We had a successful and fun end to the school year. So, I have just a few updates for you as we wrap up. Um our the last time I presented, we had already had our last um sitebased leadership team meeting. Um but just sort of looking ahead for what

108
00:37:30.240 --> 00:37:47.040
we will work on next year to kind of tackle the beginning of the year. We will review the site results that were specific to the desired daily experiences because we can break those down based on school. Obviously, it's a collective effort for the district. Um, but there's certain things that we're

109
00:37:47.040 --> 00:38:02.560
just building specific that we know that we can kind of look at and refine and celebrate as well. Um, we will be developing and reviewing our action steps for our action cards. I don't foresee right now a whole lot of new

110
00:38:02.560 --> 00:38:18.640
action cards per se because they're pretty hefty um on their own and so there's lots of different action steps within. So, we're in a good spot for how we kind of wrapped up the year meeting a lot of those initial action steps. And then, um, specifically, I just wanted to

111
00:38:18.640 --> 00:38:34.960
share the final data from our SEAL action card, excuse me, action card. From December to May of 2025, we had 268 offenses, which is sort of our minor incidents, and we were really trying to work on decreasing that. Um, and from

112
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:52.880
December to May of 2026, we were at 152 offenses. So, a 43% decrease in those behavior incidents. So, that we felt it in the building. Um, and it was exciting to see the work um kind of come to fruition in in those results. So, that's

113
00:38:52.880 --> 00:39:08.640
what we'll focus on for next year. Um, I also wanted to update the group on our some of our achievement data that I shared last month. I had shared some of those piraphphs and then I know um Miss Stepha you had a question kind of like well what is what is really the the

114
00:39:08.640 --> 00:39:23.440
average kind of increase in surrounding districts. Um so I went back and met with Lindsay Westfall and Monica Kungl and what we learned is that the thresholds in edge climber were not

115
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:40.960
updated to match the spring um benchmarks. So there was an increase in our kindergarten and first grade. So kindergarten went from 30% in winter to 50% in spring. Um and what I had shared

116
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:55.680
with you initially was that it was 30 to 30. So little to no increase. So there was an increase there. That was just sort of a technical difficulty getting familiar with edge climber. Um and then first grade it was at 61%. Um, so better

117
00:39:55.680 --> 00:40:12.160
news that was that I learned. Um, but um, also the typical profic profic proficiency levels for kindergarten and first grade range from 45 to 65%. So I feel like we're we're sitting pretty well because really the ultimate

118
00:40:12.160 --> 00:40:28.000
goal is to have them reading by the end of third grade. So foundationally it is just going to be kind of a slower pace as they gather some of those initial skills. So, um, in theory, it would be great to have our our kindergarteners ending towards that 60%

119
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:45.440
and first grade closer to that 65%. So, we get closer to that 80% by the time that they're in third grade. But, I just wanted to share that update with you. And then, um, Lindsay Westfall and Meredith Wo attended the MTSS, um, Compass Institute retreat, and they were

120
00:40:45.440 --> 00:41:02.400
able to see districtwide um, statewide comparative data. and Delano sits about 15 to 20% higher than the state on all of our initial reading assessments. So we'll have that data now moving forward so we can really look at some good

121
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:18.079
trends and they break it down into those same areas that we are looking at through educ. So we're excited about that that we'll have that to analyze as well. And then as you heard from QC comp um the elementary school met our goal and then the district goal was met as

122
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:33.119
well. So, we were able to celebrate that within our school at the end of the year. Um, I also wanted to give a congratulations to Rose Nichols on her retirement as a PAR. We celebrated her. Um, Matt and Bobby came up. We got a picture with her. And then we had some

123
00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:49.920
um ESSA, Leah, and Teacher of the Year recipients, Wendy Scanland, Janelle Olsen, and Teresa Swan. Um, we had a great end of the year breakfast. That was wonderful. And the Delano Education Foundation provided that breakfast. There was a great turnout I felt this year. And then um it was just a really

124
00:41:49.920 --> 00:42:05.359
really nice way to recognize people that are retiring. Mary Reader is one of them. I'll miss you very much. Um and then um some of the other teachers within the district. So it was a really really great way to celebrate those teachers um and staff members. Um,

125
00:42:05.359 --> 00:42:22.400
looking ahead to next year, we are going to focus on developing our win time expectations, our math implementation of the new curriculum, and then we have our we're adjusting and finalizing our PD plans for our early releases as well. Summer school begins and ESY begin on

126
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:39.520
July 6th, so we're preparing for that. As of now, we are fully staffed at the elementary, looking ahead to next year, so hoping that sticks. Um, and then I'm looking forward to working with our our new leadership team members, Scott, Kate, and Cindy as well. Any questions

127
00:42:39.520 --> 00:42:56.760
for the elementary? >> When we last met, your kindergarten numbers, I think, were were they at 161? Is that right? >> Uh, no, they would have been at 150. >> Okay. Where are we now? >> 151. >> Okay. So, it's

128
00:42:58.640 --> 00:43:13.119
like a small. >> We had two that decided not to enroll. So there we go. But yeah. >> Mhm. >> Okay. Thanks. >> You're welcome. Anything else? >> All right. Thank you very much. >> You

129
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:33.119
from the intermediate school. >> Evening ladies and gentlemen of the board. Thank you for having me this evening as a representative of the intermediate school. I have a short report for you um as we wrapped up our 2526 school year. Um I'll start by sharing our plans for our sitebased

130
00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:48.800
leadership team. Um like Miss Schultz shared, we are also looking forward to our August retreat day. Um all of the building sitebased teams um schedule our retreat days for August. Um so we'll also be reviewing our progress from last year on our goals, the work that we did.

131
00:43:48.800 --> 00:44:04.079
We'll look at our action cards from last year. Um, I'm really excited to kind of roll out Edge of Climber to our staff kind of schoolwide and we'll use that at our retreat and start really um using that to look at data and make some decisions on our achievement data um

132
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:20.160
with our sitebased team. Um we'll also be looking at those DDE surveys and breaking them down by building um specifically looking at kind of where our staff are at and then also um our student feedback. our students did take the student survey for the DDES and um had some really interesting feedback and

133
00:44:20.160 --> 00:44:36.800
some fun comments. So, we'll take a look at that as well. Um student belonging and well-being has been a focus for us last year. Um so, that'll give us some good insight um moving forward and where we want to go with that. Um and then we'll also take a look at the district vision card that Matt shared with you guys today as well to help us set some good goals for next year. Um briefly for

134
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:52.640
MTSS, I don't need to share too much about our QC comp goals. Um Megan and Maria did a nice job going over that, but we had a QC compon go poll this year for math. Um we did not meet our goal. Our goal was to increase from 86.1 from last spring to 86.6 this spring. Um so

135
00:44:52.640 --> 00:45:08.319
we scored this spring at 83% low-risk or college pathways. Um it's tricky when it's a spring to spring goal. Um you're not looking at the same group of kids. Um if you look at the same group of kids from fall to spring this year, we did increase by 2%. So we went from 81% to

136
00:45:08.319 --> 00:45:25.119
83%. Um, but that's not how they look at their Q compon which is fine. I think that math in general is going to be a really big area of focus for us next year. Um, we implemented, as you know, our new reveal curriculum in sixth grade only this year. Um, next year we'll be implementing it buildingwide. It will be

137
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:40.960
new for fourth grade and fifth grade. Um, so we're anticipating just a lot of time invested in supporting our teachers and our students in that implementation. So that's going to be a big focus for us again next year. Um, I also would like to congratulate our Aaliyah and ESSA winners. So, Heidi O'Donnell um won for

138
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:56.000
our LEA award and then Judy Reid was our ESSA award winner. Um, so great staff members at the intermediate school. In terms of our summer updates, I am not as lucky as Michel staffed. I'm looking for a long-term sub for a special education teacher, um, a behavior teacher, and

139
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:13.040
also a parah. Um, but otherwise, we're just working on kind of cleaning up the school, doing our schedules, and I always like to recognize our staff that do work through the summer. So Mike and his custodial staff, Joe is really busy this summer on our computers among other things, and then always Mel, Megan, and Greg in our office getting schedules

140
00:46:13.040 --> 00:46:29.839
ready and helping families um as they join our school. So um and then I just want to end by always thanking you guys for your support um of me and my work as a principal and I always feel so fortunate and blessed to be where I am. So I thank you for that. Um and with that, any questions for me at the intermediate school?

141
00:46:29.839 --> 00:46:44.720
a question for her, but out of curiosity, like when we do the Q comp go, why do we do them that way? That feels like somewhat misleading because I was sitting there kind of thinking to myself like 86 something back to 83 and then the I think it was the high school

142
00:46:44.720 --> 00:47:00.640
was like 87 back to 83. It feels like you have a group going backwards. And to your point, you actually don't have a group going backwards. You're just measuring an apple and an orange and trying to make them the same. Like why do we do our cucle that way? It's >> mainly required. We have confines

143
00:47:00.640 --> 00:47:16.560
through the state. >> Okay. So, they love apples and oranges compared >> like a toss salad. >> Maybe can we uh could we ask our cucumber people to give us that data point so we can like feel just like >> I don't know. It makes me

144
00:47:16.560 --> 00:47:31.920
>> feel a little bit better. >> Makes me feel a hell of a lot better when she's like they went up 2% year-over-year, not backwards three and a half where talking about completely different kids. It's two different cohorts of students. And over the years, even back when I was principal, I

145
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:48.480
actually had there for about two or three years, we measured um 8th grade to 10th grade reading, same students. So, we took them when they were eighth graders, all the students, and we have a high percentage

146
00:47:48.480 --> 00:48:03.839
of students that are the same. >> Yeah. So we had to we had to have like 85 or 90% of the students had to be the same cohort. We got permission to do that and then we said now we're talking about the same group of students and we measured them in our this was back in

147
00:48:03.839 --> 00:48:21.040
the MCA days. We took the MCA reading in 8th grade then they took the MCA reading in 10th grade and we set a step they were at they did this in 8th grade. What was the measured increase that we could do for 10th grade? >> Makes a ton of sense. And um then we

148
00:48:21.040 --> 00:48:36.319
decided obviously to go a different direction with assessments and the state no longer allow us to do that. So >> yeah, >> we had a good apples to apples run there for back in the day. >> Take it with a grain of salt. >> Well, good good to know. I mean, I would

149
00:48:36.319 --> 00:48:52.000
have left here feeling like not like we had an issue, but like we had some kind of challenging year and it turns out didn't maybe. So >> they did all right. >> Okay. I think last year going into the summer, I think my timelines might be off a little bit, but there was some

150
00:48:52.000 --> 00:49:08.559
construction around making some room accommodations and I How did that go? It was great. It was really, really helpful. Okay. So, again, thank you for supporting that work um made a huge difference um for special ed kids and the needs that they had in that room. So, yeah.

151
00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:22.720
>> Do you feel like this space is sufficient now and >> um needs are being met all around? Yeah, we had a little bit of a different I think population coming in. I think there's some unique needs coming in. Now, again, every year looks so different. Depends on the kids. Um, but

152
00:49:22.720 --> 00:49:40.400
just having more options for space. Um, in general, our special ed room used to be just very open. Um, the changes we made last summer gave us more options. It kind of broke it down into smaller spaces with some doors and things like that. So, it just gives us options and

153
00:49:40.400 --> 00:50:00.400
some flexibility. In terms of space overall, it can still be challenging, but it just changes every year. Depends on the kids we have. So, we Yeah, it's working a lot better now. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Yes, I am here to read in proxy for Mr.

154
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:15.839
Voit. And there's a lot of names in here, so hopefully I pronounce every single one of them correctly, but bear with me. So, Mr. Voit, good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the board. Please accept this report as my final update to the board. On behalf of Delano High School, we have had a successful

155
00:50:15.839 --> 00:50:32.640
end to the school year despite the struggles resulting from the cyber incident in May. On behalf of the entire DHS staff, a ser sincere appreciation goes out to Jack Jackson's Gross Gretz >> Gross Crates. I knew I was going to get

156
00:50:32.640 --> 00:50:49.040
it wrong. Nick Bane, Joe Hitchings, their work in mitigating the impacts, troubleshooting uh workarounds and sustaining our classroom efforts to the best of their abilities given the circumstances. And that was quite the journey we had uh and still are on. By

157
00:50:49.040 --> 00:51:05.599
the way, as the spring sports seasons wrapped up, we had another successful season. Congratulations to the girls track team who had another outstanding season after placing fourth at the Minnesota True Team State Championships. They had even more success at the state

158
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:21.760
high school track championships. Maya Warner placed third in the 3200 meter. Sienna Claire placed sixth in the long jump. Evelyn Oberling placed sixth at the 100 meter hurdles. Anna Lamcker

159
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:38.559
placed fifth in the 100 meters. Maya Warner fifth in the 1600 meters girls 4x800 meter relay and took fourth matching the fourth place earned by the girls 4x 100 meter re girls softball had

160
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:54.880
uh Sydney Pink recognized as the first team all state rehman second team Sydney Connor and Brenn Krueger as all state honorable mentions the b the baseball team also had an amazing end to the season, winning the

161
00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:09.359
section championship after beating Orno not once but twice consecutively, moving on to a successful run into the state tournament. Academically, DHS students had a tremendously successful year as

162
00:52:09.359 --> 00:52:26.880
well. Over 20,000 grades were earned throughout the year. Over 95% of them were at a C minus or higher and only 1.4% 4% total of 289 were unsatisfactory or failing grades

163
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:45.040
across all grade levels in the high school. And considering creditbearing classes that is students in 9 through 12 only 99 courses resulted in failing grades that's8%. A comparison between DHS courses and PSO

164
00:52:45.040 --> 00:53:02.160
courses shows that while the number of proficient grades is consistent at around 94% 3% of the grades earned through PSO, a total of 17 were failing grades. It is important that we continue to advertise these results and our counselors have

165
00:53:02.160 --> 00:53:18.480
been coached to review this information with our prospective PSO students because this data shows that our teachers have a significant impact on helping our students cross the finish line. This is significant because an F on a college transcript can have

166
00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:34.160
significant impacts on a student's ability to not only graduate high school but to further pursue their post-secary ambitions. The bottom line is is that for the past six years, 100% of students that attend Delano High School courses

167
00:53:34.160 --> 00:53:51.760
throughout the duration of their 912 career graduate on time. I wish the staff and students across Delano schools my best wishes as they continue the noble work of shaping our future. Respect, Mr. Voy.

168
00:53:51.760 --> 00:54:08.559
And last but not least, before we move on to the directors, I do have one unfinished piece of business. It has been a tradition mostly with our student school board representatives, but when a person that serves in a capacity with the board Oh, man. I'm not going that

169
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:28.319
way. >> He's not jumping. >> Now that Mary is retiring, we're going to give her name plate. How about that? >> You are officially been presented with your name plate. >> Thank you, sir. Thank you, board.

170
00:54:28.319 --> 00:54:46.640
>> Thank you, Mary. Thank you. Thank you. >> Right on the hood of your car with pride. >> Cool. >> Thank you. >> All right. Next up, we have uh the directors. So, Miss Mary Reer and Mr.

171
00:54:46.640 --> 00:55:01.680
Scott. >> Yep. Scott's actually pres prepared this, so he's going to take it from here. >> All right. Excellent. Well, thank you members of the board. Um, we'll go over this just kind of quickly like Mary's done in the past. Um, as you can see,

172
00:55:01.680 --> 00:55:21.359
it's up here. >> Not yet. >> I mean, two thumbs over here. >> It was attorney. >> All right. Where are we at here? >> Financial report. >> Yeah. >> Right here. >> Yes. >> There we go.

173
00:55:21.359 --> 00:55:36.640
>> All right. So, if we want to go to page two, uh, obviously for this board meeting, but I'll just, um, go over a few things. Um, as you can see, uh, Mary's always put together the year-over-year comparison, which is a great indicator on a macro level just to make sure we're

174
00:55:36.640 --> 00:55:52.160
trending in the right direction. >> Here, I got a better way to do this. >> You're just trying to make it really hard for me. >> How about this? >> We blame Matt. Don't worry. >> There we go. Whoops.

175
00:55:52.160 --> 00:56:07.680
>> All right. So, uh, as I mentioned, just going year-over-year, which is a good indicator. Um, you can really count on that for a lot of like the salaries and benefits, even kind of purchase services, supplies, materials, capital expenditures, and other expenditures. They can vary quite significantly,

176
00:56:07.680 --> 00:56:23.359
right? Because it depends on timing of purchases. Um, another thing to note too is that just like with accounting, it's always about timing. So, um, when things get recorded, when the bank rocks get done, um, when everything comes in. So, there can be some variation, but that's why we do these on a monthly basis and

177
00:56:23.359 --> 00:56:39.680
do year-over-year comparatives. Nothing else to point out on that one. Um, and this is just looking at our other funds. That page we just looked at was the general fund. So, now we switch over to fund two, um, food service, community service, and debt service. Um, all of these, uh, look pretty close in

178
00:56:39.680 --> 00:56:56.319
line with what they've been historically. And like I said, if they are off, um, it could be timing of when things are recorded this month. So, >> yeah, I was a little late this month on getting state done. >> I don't know. You're doing a payroll every week this month. >> I know. It's been a little nuts.

179
00:56:56.319 --> 00:57:12.319
>> All right. Um, and then if you want to go down, uh, these are graphs that, uh, Mary has kept in here in the past. It just gives the schoolboard a good idea of where the expenditures um kind of line up on an on an annual basis just so you feel for where those land. All

180
00:57:12.319 --> 00:57:27.520
right, next page. And then finally um the uh FY26 audit is scheduled um and it's planned for August 12th through the 16th. Um and I also want to thank Mary because I probably will be reaching out to her quite a bit. Um that has to do

181
00:57:27.520 --> 00:57:43.440
with the next bullet point. Um the team is continuing to work to create all of the business office related documents and information that was lost in the cyber event. So um that will be that will be a big lift. Um but we'll get there and I guess I will get to learn

182
00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:59.200
from ground up. So I won't have work papers from the past. So thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. And thank you Mary for your continued help. >> Yes. I finally stopped crying but it's okay. Did she at least know what was this? What's missing?

183
00:57:59.200 --> 00:58:14.079
>> Oh, yeah. >> Not all. >> Well, well, pretty much >> all of my stuff was on a server, so yes, it's all gone. Some of the stuff I had emailed, like some of my negotiation spreadsheets I had emailed out. So, I have those to recreate, but

184
00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:31.599
my 16 years of data is gone. So, >> hell of a retirement, Mary. I'm gonna take and go home. It's like I don't This was one experience I don't think I needed, but we got it in. >> Now you can say you've done it all.

185
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:46.720
>> Yeah. So, >> you've done it twice. >> We will be doing it. Yes. >> Yeah. No, it's just going to take a little time. >> So, >> just be patient, please. >> There we go. >> You have an ETC of when you're going to

186
00:58:46.720 --> 00:59:03.520
know what documents you have to restore or how many. you know, we know the ones that are important that we want he'll need going forward. So, you know, HR is working on some of her things already. Um, you know, my staffing plan is massive. I've never shared that with

187
00:59:03.520 --> 00:59:20.960
anyone. So, that will that's a huge lift, but like my teachers negotiation spreadsheet, that's also massive. I sent the base to Nate Peterson the last time we negotiated. So, I'll use that as my basis to create the one that they're going to need a year from now. So, it's

188
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:37.440
just you, you know, all my home school, all my non-public stuff, everything is gone. >> So, working with data reclamation company, >> I just got that agreement this morning. So, anything that they can get back,

189
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:53.359
we've been working with a third party vendor to try to reclaim as much data as eventually this these bad evil human beings will publish the data. So, we could potentially get some back that way, but again, it takes some

190
00:59:53.359 --> 01:00:09.839
>> But my stolen, it was just encrypted. >> So, yeah, my stuff wasn't stolen. It was just encrypted. So what whatever the data recovery people if they're able to get back something that's the only way we'll get my stuff back >> and the HR stuff. So

191
01:00:09.839 --> 01:00:26.160
>> and I know you've thought of this not a suggestion. I'm just curious like >> could you get some stuff back from like aers and stuff like that on on audit interact? >> Well I have all my audits but we're golden on the audit because I've been doing since co we've been doing all

192
01:00:26.160 --> 01:00:42.640
virtual so I upload everything. So, I've already pulled down all of the documents from last year, all my spreadsheets and everything. So, audit I have we're told and it's just other stuff. So, yeah, >> we got six years worth of audit stuff

193
01:00:42.640 --> 01:00:59.839
that we got access to, so we're good. >> Small wins, we'll take them. >> Yep. >> All right. Next up is Abby Lane, director of community education. Thank you. >> Come on back. Hi, thanks again for

194
01:00:59.839 --> 01:01:14.400
having me back. >> Um, this is a end of my first year. So, yeah, couple weeks and it'll be one in the bag. Um, which has been absolutely fabulous. Um,

195
01:01:14.400 --> 01:01:32.000
I mean, super busy, super crazy, but such a good such a good year. So, um, my report is going to be very small because I already got out all the words that I probably you guys probably need to need to hear tonight. So, um, just gave you some of the the nitty-gritty. Um, our

196
01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:47.200
summer program for TKC is up and running. Um, those first couple of days were a little wild. Um, not having Wi-Fi, we just really realize how much um, we rely on it. Uh, even just for attendance purposes. So, all of TKC's

197
01:01:47.200 --> 01:02:03.839
attendance is done via iPads. And it sounds like a pretty easy thing. We'll just do a paper and pencil. Sign them in, sign them out. Well, sign them in, sign them out. Um, what happens if somebody needs to go to an appointment? Sign them in, sign them out. What happens if mom or dad walks by the sign

198
01:02:03.839 --> 01:02:20.160
in, sign out? What happens if, you know, there's just a lot of factors that go into it. And so, after the first couple of days, we um we just said we can't do it. we can't we can't not have internet for attendance um billing purposes, safety purposes, so on and so forth. And

199
01:02:20.160 --> 01:02:36.799
so the IT team really pivoted and um you know over the course of a weekend set us up with the ability to have four iPads running and it's night and day especially considering um that was a Thursday, Friday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and then that following Monday we

200
01:02:36.799 --> 01:02:52.559
started transportation for community ed activities. So everything we have is tied to that. We know who's going, who's coming back, where they are. Um it's a big deal to have 250 students and not

201
01:02:52.559 --> 01:03:11.280
know 100%. So um so thank you to the IT team. Thank you for Bobby for making that happen. Mr. Shane for making that happen. That was a that was a big stressor for staff that um now is going absolutely fabulous. Um we have 11 classrooms running from 6:45 to 5:45

202
01:03:11.280 --> 01:03:26.799
Monday through Friday. Um we have a total of just over 60 staff. We have about 50 that work every day. So any given over those 11 hours um we have 50 staff that are rotating through with um

203
01:03:26.799 --> 01:03:44.000
238 students uh 187 kindergarten through grade 6 and 51 age three not yet in kindergarten. So um spread into 11 11 classrooms. One of the things that is has been pretty exciting is I had mentioned it in

204
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:59.280
my in-depth or my program review that um we are putting all of child care together. So and we're putting early childhood together. So the current way that our office is set up is that Becca Cyberlick um is the preschool coordinator and then oversees preschool

205
01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:16.799
child care. Rachel Wallace is the um TKC coordinator overseas youth enrichment. We said, "You know what? We've lived it. That's awesome. You got to try it. For the long term, we are going to make some adjustments and we're going to have Becca Cyberlick step out of child care

206
01:04:16.799 --> 01:04:32.880
and take preschool ECF screening, create that early childhood coordinator. Rachel Wallace will take all of TKC, all of child care, be a child care coordinator. And then we've we've found our new um enrichment champion. Super excited about

207
01:04:32.880 --> 01:04:49.839
that. It's a little, you know, we kind of we joke around that Becca and Rachel are going through a separation um because they're slowly Becca's slowly backing out and Rachel's slowly um taking over. It is absolutely fantastic in um the ability to stand back and

208
01:04:49.839 --> 01:05:06.640
watch the team operate. You know, those are some really intense few days when you're training staff, when you're trying to set up operations, when you're trying to get organized, and everybody's stressed and everybody's tired and everybody is a little frazzled. And I see nothing but support coming out of um

209
01:05:06.640 --> 01:05:22.720
those coordinators, and Kim Phillips, our our office um administrative assistant, and then a couple of our TKC leads. No frustration, no short, you know, nerves, um nothing but support. they bob and weave and it is it's a fine

210
01:05:22.720 --> 01:05:38.640
dance to watch and it's something that is so super appreciated because then we know when those doors open up at 6:45 everybody is where they need to be. Everybody has the support that they that they need in place and these guys are are sleeping at night. So, um I'm so

211
01:05:38.640 --> 01:05:53.599
impressed with with that and so I think that's worth mentioning that that we've got a really really good team. Um, one of the changes that we're implementing this summer, um, is we're looking for or we implemented, we're kind of piloting a

212
01:05:53.599 --> 01:06:10.319
building site supervisor. So, I talk a lot about, you know, going over and bringing TKC kids and having a lot of all of our programs out here at DHS, but you don't really hear about how do we make sure that people are getting to where they need to be. How do we make sure that coaches and instructors have

213
01:06:10.319 --> 01:06:25.839
that connection to the school district, know where they're supposed to be, have somebody to answer those questions? Um, so we're implementing a building site supervisor/rec support. Rec support is connecting with those coaches and instructors every day,

214
01:06:25.839 --> 01:06:41.520
making sure that they have what they need, making sure that there's some followup on the front end, there's follow-up on the back end. Um, there's equipment sorting. There's take a lap. Go outside. Go inside. I want to see 14,000 steps a day. Um, take a lap. Go

215
01:06:41.520 --> 01:06:56.960
out and and see what's going on in the fields and be that representative of community ed saying, "Hey, I'm here and yes, this is what I'm seeing or I'm here and I'm I really haven't seen that." So, it's just a like I said, a pilot project

216
01:06:56.960 --> 01:07:13.119
to see what else can we do? What level of support can we provide? also this building, right? Like I was here today and you've got families that are focusing on, you know, the the kid in a program and so maybe you have a couple of siblings and they're in the hallways and that's okay. We know that's going to

217
01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:30.240
happen. Um but we want to make sure that they still are are being safe and that they're still um not hindering custodians who are trying to get a whole bunch of stuff done. And so, like I said, pilot pilot project, but in a school district our size, it's something that is is so absolutely needed um for

218
01:07:30.240 --> 01:07:45.920
customer support, for building protection, so on and so forth. So, um we have 105 summer programs this summer. Um 105 of the 250 or 75 that I had just shared, uh only 11 cancellations so far.

219
01:07:45.920 --> 01:08:01.440
That's a lot. That's a 10%. That means we're we're we're doing it. Um there's a lot of kids, a lot of moving pieces and a lot of lot of instructors coming through our doors. So um and that is not including all of our facility rentals and our groups, our associations, our

220
01:08:01.440 --> 01:08:17.600
people on the fields. That's this is in addition to so it's a busy it's a busy campus for for a a quick like 75day turnaround. Um and then super exciting we had today I'd mentioned earlier um the very first Tiger Swim mini camp

221
01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:35.279
start. Um we have one in June and three in July and we have 93 of the 96 open s um filled. So uh great first start. We would offer a whole bunch more but we have two trained instructors right now that are

222
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:52.080
doing hands-on training with these mini camps. We priced them um so that they were very affordable for families, kind of cover our need, but really get kids back in the water, get them learning, get them having fun, but really also give those those new teachers the ability to do some real good hands-on

223
01:08:52.080 --> 01:09:14.799
training, excuse me, in August or Septe running. We're hoping to add a few more instructors for some more additional hands-on training yet this summer. >> Any questions? >> Congratulations on your one year. Thank

224
01:09:14.799 --> 01:09:29.679
you. >> Yeah, thank you. I'm I'm going to petition to keep the rookie card. >> First year leaders get what they call issued from the superintendent a rookie card. >> Oh, >> they can play the rookie card anytime they want in just a few short weeks. No

225
01:09:29.679 --> 01:09:46.400
more rookie cards. >> You know, I think that document was lost. >> Yeah. So >> yeah, so unlimited swipes. >> Terribly. They've all tried to negotiate. >> Yeah. >> Extension of the rookie card. >> I I would like to ask the board for an

226
01:09:46.400 --> 01:10:04.400
extension on my rookie card. >> Thank you everyone. >> Thank you. >> All right. Next on the agenda are board reports. First up is MSO. um pretty uh run-of-the-mill meeting

227
01:10:04.400 --> 01:10:23.199
back in May. Um working on budget uh for next year. Uh budgeting for a special ed district like AICO is different than a school district. So, um, trying to predict usage and needs

228
01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:39.920
and how that relates to staffing and costs is, um, a complicated thing, as Scott will attest to, I'm sure. So, that's, um, we talked through the first reading of our budget last month in May. Um, and we'll

229
01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:55.040
see it again now tomorrow when we meet. We met in May at um, one of our care treatment sites in Lichfield. um Wings. It's a chemical health um residential center where Masiko provides the

230
01:10:55.040 --> 01:11:11.760
education for that. Um it's enlightening to see the settings that many of our um staff especially in the care and treatment programs work in because they are in the provider space. So, for

231
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:27.280
instance, at Wings, there's one classroom that um is no bigger than the perimeter of these tables here. Um probably smaller than that. And there can be anywhere from, you know, 10 to 20

232
01:11:27.280 --> 01:11:44.480
students in there. They do have a they schedule it for morning and afternoon. So, they get some their treatment time and then they have education and then they they switch off. But um they've tried to you utilize some extra space in the cafeteria which provides

233
01:11:44.480 --> 01:12:01.840
extra space but also constraints because um the wing staff is also utilizing the cafeteria time. So space and resources and um just the things that we maybe take for

234
01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:17.520
granted um in a typical classroom. Chairs, tables, um flexible seating arrangements, um space for books um and other learning materials is at a premium in these spaces. So, our staff, the Moso

235
01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:35.520
staff really works to create really positive relationships with the um the pro the care and treatment providers because we are utilizing their space. Um and students deserve to have an education um obviously and need to be

236
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:50.640
educated and our staff really the Moso staff does an exceptional job of working within the confines of the physical space to create meaningful experiences for students and enriching experiences for students. So it's been really fun to

237
01:12:50.640 --> 01:13:11.520
see those sites. Um and um yeah, we're working on the budget and staffing is pretty good this I think for the fall. Staffing is looking pretty which is always a concern. >> Any questions? >> Thank you.

238
01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:28.080
>> Next up, Right Tech. >> Yes, that's me. >> Yes. Right. >> Um so we talked a little bit about enrollment numbers. Um the right tech enrollment is at 531 which is up 26 students from last month. It's in line generally with prior years. So they

239
01:13:28.080 --> 01:13:44.239
weren't concerned about that that they'll continue to track and enroll. Uh the right academy was at 88 students. That's steady but a little bit down from prior years. So they're continuing to kind of monitor that and see what they can do to uh try to boost that

240
01:13:44.239 --> 01:14:00.239
enrollment. Obviously that impacts their funding and and their revenue. So, um, they did receive a $19,000 donation for their welding program from Miller Burn Electric. Um, so they were excited about that. They had two positions that they

241
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:15.760
filled, a health science and nursing uh, assistant instructor and then a construction position. They do still have a couple of them open. Their special education, one of their special education positions is very difficult position to fill. So, they told me to put a plug in if anybody knows anybody

242
01:14:15.760 --> 01:14:30.159
looking for a special education teacher job, they would love them. Um, so that is out there. And then you could just tell everybody was at like year end. Uh, it was like the 3rd of June. They had two days left. Lots of talk about their year- end festivities. They had a

243
01:14:30.159 --> 01:14:45.920
cookout. They had um they went bowling one of the days. And then uh they were excited about some of their postschool year maintenance activities that they could begin. They're replacing some rooftop HVAC units. They're replacing

244
01:14:45.920 --> 01:15:03.920
some leaking spots in their roof. A couple other uh Oh, they had a big paving thing. They redid their parking lot. So, they had some pretty substantial LTFM dollars uh spent this year, but that was all planned and part of the thing. They were just excited to get it underway. Um

245
01:15:03.920 --> 01:15:20.800
I think that's mostly it. I mean, they they had a couple of students competing in a health science competition and then they got a couple of new printers and a laser shooting machine for the law enforcement group. I forget what that exactly does, but they're pretty jazzed

246
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:36.719
about it. So, >> laser beam. >> Yeah, some kind of laser beam for uh shooting oral shooting range work of sorts for their law enforcement folk. So other than that, it was pretty standard and it was also very quick as you could tell people were two days away from

247
01:15:36.719 --> 01:15:53.040
checking out. >> Yeah, >> that's it. >> Thanks, Ryan. Moving on to there is no old business. So next up, new business. First item under new business is the to approve the 2026 2027 budget. So first statute, we

248
01:15:53.040 --> 01:16:09.440
do have to approve the budget for next year, the original budget. So we did get this put together. We did work session the um preliminary budget last month at the May work session. It's pretty much stayed the same. We did get um if you

249
01:16:09.440 --> 01:16:26.000
look at fund for community service, they're still looking very, very healthy and continuing to grow their fund balance there. Food service, um their fund balance is still a little bit high, but she's looking at buying more equipment this upcoming year. They've got some ovens that need to be replaced

250
01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:42.640
at the elementary school and then some something at the high school. So, I'm hoping that we'll even spend that down a little bit more because we really can only have three months of expenditures in our fund balance for fund two. So, if it is too high, we have to put together a plan and explain how we're going to

251
01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:59.040
get it down within two years. Um, our assigned unassigned fund balance is um took a little bit of a hit. It's a little higher or the deficit's a little higher than it was originally. There were um I did increase our some state

252
01:16:59.040 --> 01:17:13.440
aid that's going to come in for unemployment. We did I know from the legislature they think we have enough money coming in to cover this summer still. So I did budget an extra 50,000 for that. Um just with some little extra expenditures that we saw coming in on

253
01:17:13.440 --> 01:17:28.880
some contractual type things and just some little miscellaneous things. I did increase some expense budgets a little bit more as well and I was one of those that I'll be staying on a little bit. So I did put in some funds for that as

254
01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:44.239
well. So um any questions? >> Where does our fund balance sit? >> At the end of this year I it's still going to be at 13%. So what I did within >> at the end of next year? Yep. So this year I still think we're going to be

255
01:17:44.239 --> 01:18:01.360
around 15%. I think next year we're going to be at 13, but what I increased the revenue, it helped offset some of the expense increases I had to put in. So, I still think you'll be at 13% and hopefully a little bit more, but you just never know. But you're getting very

256
01:18:01.360 --> 01:18:17.120
close to that 12. You'll be below 12 the following year if something doesn't change. >> What happens to the food service? What does MDE do if you >> So you just so you're going to have to buy whether you um you're gonna you're going to do one-time expenditures.

257
01:18:17.120 --> 01:18:32.960
You're not going to put a lot into something where it's ongoing because then you're going to but if they stop with free meals, you'll see that decrease really quick. >> Yeah. >> So it's because of the free meals and the extra we're getting from the state.

258
01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:48.400
>> We wouldn't be getting that much if the parents were paying for the meals. So that's what's grown our fund balance. Like we need a van to bring the food service stuff to community ed that community ed can then also utilize when needed for their shuttle running. I mean

259
01:18:48.400 --> 01:19:05.120
>> three is solving problems here. I mean >> freezers and >> stock up on readers. Oh, there you go. >> Closing in like five days is about as >> Oh, he's closing the end of the month.

260
01:19:05.120 --> 01:19:22.400

264
01:20:09.920 --> 01:20:25.040
the work session last month. So, went over this. So, this again is an annual requirement that we have to do. It has to be sent into the department by the end of July. Um, we get this done in June. So, um, no nothing has changed on that. Um, as part of the data loss, we

265
01:20:25.040 --> 01:20:42.560
got to recreate some of these things. So, um, that was positive. Um, but inside of here, you'll just see the resolution that's included. Um, and that along with, uh, the another form that Matt signs goes to the department that we'll send off in the next few weeks.

266
01:20:42.560 --> 01:20:58.480

LTFM plan resolution. Next up is milk and bread, the coveted vote of every year. >> All right, perfect. This was something that didn't come to the board um during the work session. It's just kind of due at timing and when we were getting things in, but um we did receive two

269
01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:48.000
quotes on the bread. Um uh we won't go in depth on any of them, but the recommended uh action is for Panagold Baking Company for us to go with them for FY27 school year due to their overall pricing and products that meet the dietary guidelines. So this is

270
01:21:48.000 --> 01:22:03.760
something that we worked with Mel on um to make sure that it was in in need with what she felt um the program needed and obviously she does a great job on that. So we'd be recommending Panagold for that >> and is that right? tell us who the other br

271
01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:18.639

>> Well, you got married to say it, Jean. >> Not lately. >> What they provide in them are requirements. They don't have the right sizes or they don't have meet the dietary requirements. So we aren't able to use them. >> Okay.
