>> ROBIN. >> OKEY-DOKEY. >> MATT SMITH. >> WE ARE WE CAN.
GO AHEAD. >> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I AM MATT SMITH. HE WANT TO TALK A MINUTE TO TALK ABOUT POSITIVE THINGS HAPPENING IN THE DISTRICT. THERE IS A LOT TO BE PROUD OF.
OUR DISTRICT LEADS THE ENTIRE AREA WITH 3% GRADUATION RATE. THAT MEANS MORE OF THE STUDENTS ARE FINISHING SCHOOL, STEPPING INTO THE NEXT CHAPTER PREPARED FOR SUCCESS. THAT DOCUMENT HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT. IT IS A DIRECT REFLECTION OF THE HARD WORK OF THE STUDENT, OUR
TEACHERS, THE COMMITMENT OF PARENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT MUST BE THE CENTERPIECE OF WHAT WE DO. WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE PROGRESS THAT WE MADE. AT THE SAME TIME, WITHOUT SUCCESS COPS RESPONSIBILITY.
EARLIER TODAY, I CAME ACROSS THE THINGS IN SOCIAL MEDIA, THAT INCLUDED PHOTOS INSIDE OF THE CLASSROOMS. I WILL NOT DWELL ON THE DETAILS. FOR ME, AS REMINDER, THAT WE NEED TO STAY LASER FOCUSED ON ACADEMICS, OUR CLASSROOMS SHOULD
IN PLACES WHERE EVERY STUDENT, MATTER OF A BACKGROUND COMES TO LEARN WITHOUT UNNECESSARY DISTRACTIONS. THIS PRIGS ME TO WHY I AM RUNNING ALONG WITH MY SLATE, OUR CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT KEEPING DOUGLAS COUNTY STRONG AND MAKING
SURE OUR SCHOOLS REFLECT THE VALUES OF OUR COMMUNITY. OUR TEAM IS FOCUSED ON THREE KEY PRIORITIES. ONE IS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. THIS IS CONTINUING THE SUCCESS OF THIS DISTRICT, ENSURING THAT OUR DISTRICT CONTINUES TO LEAD
WITH THE METRO AREA AND EVENTUALLY THE STATE IMPROVING LITERACY, STRENGTHENING MATH, PREPARING STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE, CAREERS AND LIFE. THIS COLLEGE IS NOT FOREIGNER RUN WITH ONE OF THEM THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE ACTUALLY IMPORTANT. INCOMES WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE
ARE PROTECTING RURAL SPORT AND THEIR SPACES. EVERY STUDENT DESERVES FAIRNESS, SAFETY AND OPPORTUNITY. ESPECIALLY OUR GIRLS, WHO CANNOT COMPROMISE ON THAT. LAST IS CHOICE, PARENTS DESERVE A REAL VOICE IN THE CHILD'S
EDUCATION FROM TRANSPARENCY, TO SCHOOL ONLIES, FAMILY KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR KIDS, AND WE SHOULD SUPPORT THAT. AND WE, I INCLUDE MYSELF IN THAT AS A PARENT OF THE DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT STUDENTS ARE TRUSTING YOU WITH THE KIDS
AND MOSTLY MUCH MORE COMMON THAT WE GET WITH THEM. OUR KIDS GET ONE SHOT AT GRATIFICATION. LET'S MAKE IT COUNT BY KEEPING ACADEMICS FIRST, ACCEPTING FAIRNESS AND GIVING PARENTS A VOICE AND VISIBILITY GOING TO THE DISTRICT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I APOLOGIZE I COULDN'T BE THERE IN PERSON. I HAD TO GET WHISKED OFF TO CALIFORNIA FOR A CLIENT MEETING. LAST, I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE OUT, I DID ATTEND THAT LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE HERE.
SO VERY PROUD OF THE THINGS IN THE DISTRICT AND WHAT AN AMAZING PERSON TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO PUSH FORWARD. >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. ARE EITHER TWO ONLINE AT THIS
TIME, MR. LAIR? OK. MOVING TO IN PERSON. JENNIFER IVERSON, RONNAE BROCK
MACHINE AND JENNIFER IVERSON. >> THANK YOU. AS DOUGLAS COUNTY PARENTS, WE STAND BEFORE YOU DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICT'S ANTI-BULLYING POLICY. THIS POLICIES NOT JUST INADEQUATE. IT IS A DANGEROUS SOLUTION OF PROTECTION THAT IS LEADING OUR CHILDREN VULNERABLE WHEN THEY NEED US THE MOST. LET'S CUT THROUGH THE BUREAUCRATIC NOISE AND LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING THIS. THE DISTRICT PROUDLY WAVES
AROUND COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS ABOUT CLEAR POLICIES AND CONFIDENTIAL MECHANISMS, BUT HERE IS THE BRUTAL TRUTH -- THEIR OWN DATA REVEALS WE ARE COMPLETELY FAILING BULLIED STUDENTS AND IGNORING DISPARITIES AND OUTCOMES.
THE DISTRICT SET A TARGET THAT 80% OF STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO BULLYING. BUT LOOK AT THE ACTUAL NUMBER INTERESTS THE 2025 ENGAGEMENT SURVEY, ONLY 71% OF STUDENTS AGREE, THEY KNOW HOW TO RESPOND. AND THAT INCLUDES THOSE WHO ONLY SOMEWHAT AGREE.
NEARLY 3 IN 10 STUDENTS ARE WAUGHING THE HALLWAYS WITHOUT THE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO HANDLE BULLYING SITUATION. THAT IS ABON DOING HUNDREDS OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND FAILING THE COMMUNITY AND CREATING A SAFE AND SAFE CLIMATE AND
CULTURE. WHAT SHOULD BREAK YOUR HEART IS THAT 11% OF THESE STUDENTS, 197 OUT OF JUST 2,000 RESPOND ENDS EITHER DISAGREE OR VONGLY DISARE, THEY KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO PULLEYING THESE ARE NOT STATISTICS THESE ARE REAL
CHILDREN WHO FEEL END HELPLESS WHO LIKELY ALREADY EXPERIENCED HARASSMENT AND WHO HAS 0 FAITH THAT ANY POLICY PRINCIPAL OR STAFF MEMBER HAS PREPARED THEM TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. ON JUNE 18th, 2024, FOUR BOARD MEMBERS VOTED TO BLOCK
ANTI-BULLYING BOARD POLICY DESIGNED TO PROTECT ALL STUDENTS. DESPITE THREE MEMBERS FIGHTING HARD TO PASS IT. YOU ACTIVELY REJECTED STRONGER PROTECTIONS LEAVING A GAPING HOLE IN SCHOOL SAFETY SUPER IN
INCIDENT CANE THEN IMPLEMENTED SUPERINTENDENT POLL IS INSTEAD. BUT HERE WE ARE, A FULL YEAR LATER, WE STILL DON'T HAVE DATA TO SHOW WHETHER WEAKER MEASURES DID ANYTHING. DOES DCSD KNOW HOW WE COMPARED TO STATE BULLYING STAISTICS?
WHERES THE MANDATORY TRAINING FOR TEACHERS TO RECOGNIZE BULLYING AND INTERVENE INWHERE ARE THE WORKSHOPS TEACHING STUDENTS CONCRETE STRATEGIES? ARE ALL SCHOOLS ENGAGING IN PRACTICES SO SHAME IS ADDRESSED? WHERE IS THE FOLLOW WERE UP TO SUPPORT VICTIMS?
CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER THAN PERFORMATIVE BOX CHECKING THEY DESERVE A DISTRICT THAT IMPLEMENTS POLICIES WITH THE YOU ARE FEN SY THE CRISIS DEA MANDS BECAUSE EVERY DAY WE DELAY, THERE IS ANOTHER CHILD FEELING LONELY AND ABANDONED ANOTHERs AND ANOTHER KID DREADING EVEN
COMING TO SCHOOL AND ANOTHER STUDENT WHOSE EDUCATIONAL EX IS BEING STOLEN BY THE BULLIES WE FAILED TO STOP.
>> RONNAE BROCKMAN, JUDY AND KIM. >> AS YOU KNOW, I RESIGNED AS BOARD OF EDUCATION ASSISTANT SECRETARY ON JULY 15th.
THIS WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION BUT CAME AFTER A PROLONGED PATTERN OF VERBAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE BY SUPERINTENDENT CANE. DESPITE THE COMMITMENT TO SERVICE, THE ENVIRONMENT BECAME INTOLERABLE. I COULD NO LONGER SACRIFICE MY
MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING AT A WORKPLACE THAT LACKS FAIRNESS, RESPECT, TRANSPARENCY, I AM AM HERE TONIGHT FOR TWO REASONS THE FIRST TO ENSURE THE BOARD AND PUBLIC UNDERAND THE REALLEYS OF MISS KING'S LEADERSHIP OF THOSE SHE VIEWS AS BENEATH HER.
SECOND TO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO HER ACTIONS WHICH VIOLATED FEDERAL LAW AND THE BOARD'S OWN EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS. UNTIL JUNE 2024, MY PERFORMANCE WAS NEVER QUESTIONED. THAT CHANGED AFTER I REQUESTED A REMOTE WORK ACCOMMODATION TO CARE FOR MY DAUGHTER HO WAS
UNDERGOING INTENSIVE TREATMENT AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. SHORTLY AFTER, I BECAME THE TARGET OF HOSTILE BEHAVIOR. ON JULY 0th, 2024 WAS BLIND SIDE STAYth STAKING MY ROLE WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE REMOTE.
AND ALSO INCLUDED SEVERAL UNTRUE CLAIMS ABOUT JOB PERFORMANCE AND WHEN ASKED MISS CAIN COULD NOT PROVIDE EXAMPLE AND PROHIBITED ME FROM SPEAKING WITH COLLEAGUES SHE COMPLAINED. I MET WITH HR THE NEXT DAY AND CONCERNS ABOUT RETALIATION TO MY
KNOWLEDGE, NO ACTION A WAS TAKEN. WHEN I RETURNED ON OCTOBER 30th THE WORKPLACE WAS EVEN MORE HOSTILE. I WAS ISOLATED, EXCLUDED FROM TEAM EVENTS, PERSONAL AND WORK ITEMS WERE TAKEN FROM THE DESK AND ENDURED ONGOING HOSTILELITY FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT. RY MAINED SILENT FOR MONTHS BECAUSE I FEARED FOR THE
RETALIATION. IN JUNE OF 2025, I RECEIVED ANOTHER EVALUATION. WHILE GENERALLY POSITIVE, IT CLOWNED A PARKSLY EFFECTIVE READING UNDER INTERACTIONS WHEN INVITED TO SHARE FEED BANK, I RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE LANK
OF INPUT CHRONIC LATE SUBMISSIONS FROM STAFF THAT IMPACTED MY ABILITY TO ENSURE ACCURACY AND THE DISCOMFORT SPEAKING UP DUE TO REAL TATION. AT A MEETING THE NEXT DAY, MISS CAIN TWISTED MY WORD, ACCUSED ME OF IN ASSAULTING HER AND THE CAB
MET. LANGUAGE THAT IS NOT ONLY INAPPROPRIATE BUT MEANT TO DIMINISH ANHUI MILL IT A. ON JUNE 25th I PARTICIPATED IN A LISTENING TOUR ARRANGED BY CHIEF OF STAFF AND ASKED THAT BOARD DIRECTORS BE INCLUDED BUT HR DECLINED INSTEAD SEEKING INPUT FROM TWO OF MISS CAIN'S
CLOSE COG LEGALS THE FINAL SUMMARY BIAS PORTRAYED ME AS OTHERS WALK ON EGGSHELLS AROUND. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE PLACED ON STRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN DESPITE THE APPRAISAL SO MORE RETALIATION. ON JULY 15th I WALKED INTO
THE OFFICE RESIGNED AND TOOK MY POWER BACK. I ASKED THE BOARD TO INVESTIGATE VIOLATIONS OF EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS ONE AND THREE RELATED TO STAFF TREATMENT RETALIATION AND PROFESSIONAL ETHICS. I AM AVAILABLE. >> JUDY AND THEN KIM.
I CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION AND RECORDINGS TO BACK UP MY CLAIMS. THANK YOU.
>> ED ABOUT EVENING. MY NAME IS JUDY. DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ENGAGED IN A SYSTEMIC PATTERN OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAKINGS IN VIOLATION OF THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. FIRST, STERLING RANCH, FILING 6
WAS REPRESENTED AS A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL SITE WHILE THE CHARTER I PEAL IS PENNING ABOUT EVER THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT CONSTRUCTION BEGAN WITHOUT A CONTRACT WITHOUT A DEED CONVEY AND WITHOUT LAWFUL APPROVAL. THAT IS NOT LAWFUL DEDICATION.
IT IS A TAKING UNDER CALENDAR OF LAWYER. SECOND, STEM SCHOOL HIGHLAND RANCH, ALREADY BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT IN QUESTION 8 OF MY PETITION, STEM WAS SEIZEDDED FROM ME WITH FORGED CONTRACTS AND FRAUDULENT BONDS. THE FIFTH AMENDMENT REQUIRES
JUST COMPENSATION. WHEN PROPERTY IS TAKEN. INSTEAD, FRAUD WAS COVERED UP AND THE WHISTLE-BLOWER SHUTOUT. THIRD, RIDGE QUIT AND CRYSTAL VALLEY, BOTH SITES WERE DIVERTED AWAY FROM CHARTER ACCESS THROUGH
BACKROOM UNDER THE TABLE DEALS, THIS CONSTITUTES CONSTRUCTIVE TAKINGS, DEPRIVATION OF PROPERTY, OPPORTUNITY WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. BUT THE RECORD DOES NOT END WITH TAKINGS. THE DISCLOSURES OF
AUGUST 15th SHOW THAT JOHN ADAMS IS ACTING AS CHARTER SCHOOL WHILE DENYING THE LEGAL OBLIGATIONS. ITS CONTRACT WITH CSI WILL NOT BE FINALIZED UNTIL SEPTEMBER. THE FEDERAL GRANT WAS DEA NIED AND THEIR BUDGET HAS COLLAPSED.
THEIR HIRING IS STALLED. THE BOARD IS UNSTABLE. THE LAND IS NOT DEEDED PERMITS ARE INCOMPLETE. AND ENROLLMENT IS ALREADY DECLINING. DESPITE THE DEFICIENCIES, JOHN ADAMS HAS BROKEN GROUND,
MARKETED ITSELF TO FAMILIES AND PRESENTED ITSELF AS AS FULLY AUTHORIZED CHARTER. WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY DENYING OBLIGATION AND CONCEALING THE TRUTH. THIS IS FRAUD. IT IS A RACKETEERING CONSPIRACY AND OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
THE CONSTITUTION SAYS PLAINLY, PRIVATE PROPERTY SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FOR PUBLIC USE WITHOUT JUST COMPENSATION. YET, HERE, LAND CONTRACTS AND OPPORTUNITIES HAVE BEEN SEIZED CONCEALED AND HANDED OFF THROUGH
UNLAWFUL EXEMPTION AND FRAUDULENT PRETENSES. STOP THE TAKINGS. HALT THE FRAUDULENT PROJECT. RESPECT THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. KIM. >> FAD EVENING. MY NAME IS KIM. AM HERE TO SPEAK THE RESULTS OF SAFETY SURVEYS. I SPENT MY CAREER AS CONSULTANT
HELPING LEADERS SIN THIGH DATA FROM FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONANCE TONIGHT I OFFER IN SIGHT ON BULLYING DATA TAT THAT DESERVE OUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. FIRST, LET'S LOOK AT RESPECT. 71% OF PARENTS BELIEVE STUDENTS ARE GENERALLY RESPECTFUL OF EACH OTHER AT SCHOOL.
ONLY 47% OF OUR STUDENTS AGREE. THIS 24-POINT GAP HIGHLIGHT AS HUGE DISCONNECT BETWEEN WHAT ADULTS PERCEIVE AND WHAT STUDENTS ARE EXPERIENCING DAILY. WE SHOULD BE CURIOUS ABOUT WHY RESPECT IS SO LOW.
LET'S LOOK AT SAFETY. 82% SAY THEY ARE SAFE. ONLY 71% OF STUDENTS A FRY. THIS PERCEPTION VARIES WILDLY BY STUDENT GROUP. FOR EX ALE PE, ONLY 51% OF BLACK STUDENTS AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT I AM SAFE AT SCHOOL. IF THIS BOARD CONSIDERS ONLY
OVERALL AMPLES LIKE THAT 71%, IMPORTANT DISPARITIES LIKE THIS WILL REMAIN HIDDEN. FINALLY, LET'S LOOK AT BULLYING. I HAVE PREPARED COMMENTS ABOUT THE 80% OF STUDENTS KNOWING HOW TO RESPOND, BUT SOMEONE COVERED THAT TONIGHT, SO I WILL FOCUS ON
THE OTHER DISTRICT TARGET WHICH IS LESS THAN 16% OF STUDENTS WILL HAVE EXPERIENCE BULLYING WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. OUR STUDENTS FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT IS 15% RATE. BUT THAT RATE OF PULLEY LEG IS
ALSO DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGHER FOR CERTAIN GROUPS IN. ABOUT 82% OF THE STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT DESCRIBE THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION AS STRAIGHT. THE REST NEARLY 20%, EXPERIENCED BULLIES AT RATES 2 TO 4 TIMES
HIGHER. THAN STUDENTS WHO IDENTIFY AS STRAIGHT. STUDENTS WHO EYE DEPARTMENT FY THEIR GENDER AS NON-BY FAR RY, FRANCE GENDER OR UNSURE REPORT BULLYING RATES 3 TO 4 TIMES HIGHER THAN STUDENTS WHO IDENTIFY AS MALE OR FEMALE.
THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT NUMBERS. I IS ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR CHILDREN. BLACK STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT EXPERIENCE BULLYING AT TWICE THE RATE OF BLACK STUDENTS STATEWIDE AND THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE TRACK WITH THAT.
OVER 20% OF PLAQUE STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT HAVE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED SUICIDE, AND THAT IS DOUBLE THE RATE OF BLACK STUDENTS STATEWIDE. WE SHOULD BE ASKING WHY. OUR CHARGE IS TO PROTECT ALL STUDENTS NOT THE MYTH CALL AVERAGE STUDENT. I URGE OUR DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TO EXAMINE THE SURVEY DATA IN
BAYS THAT GO BEYOND OVERALL AVERAGES. WE HEED TO BE CURIOUS ABOUT THE UNDERLYING CAUTIONS 6 DISPARITIES WITHIN THE DISSTRIB AND DISCOVER WHY THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THIS BULLYING AND HIGHER RATES THAN STUDENTS IN COLORADO AS A WHOLE. THE WELL-BEING OF THE STUDENTS DEPENDS ON IT.
THEY DESERVE OUR VERY BEST. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> I HAVE DOCUMENTS. >> SURE. PLEASE GIVE THEM TO DEBBIE OVER THERE.
>> WE HAVE ROBIN ON-LINE. >> CAN YOU HEAR? HE WE CAN. YES. GO AHEAD. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ROBIN. I AM A RESIDENT OF STERLING RANCH AND A PARENT SNIP AM HERE TO EXPRESS MY DEEP FRUSTRATION AND DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE BOARD'S DECISION TO RELEASE JOHN
ADAM'S ACADEMY TO THE CHARTER SCHOOL INSTITUTE. THAT VOTE HAS HAD SERIOUS CONSEQUENCE FORCE THE COMMUNITY. WANT TO THANK THE BOARD MEMBERS TO KNOW THE LEADER HIP, THE GOOD FAITH EFFORTS WERE NOTICED AND APPRECIATED. THE RELEASE HASHED OVER FUTURE
DISTRICT SCAM SITE TO A CHARTER WITH NO LOCAL ACCOUNT, LITTLE COMMUNITY SUPPORT, A CLEAR POLITICAL AGENDA. THEY APPROVED THE 57PLICATION UNANIMOUSLY DESPITE ACCEPTING MORE THAN 200 CASE OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK IN OPPOSITION.
TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, CSI SHUT DOWN ONE OF THE SCHOOLS 16 DARES BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR LEAVING FAMILIES SCRAMBLING FOR OPTIONS. YOUR RELEASE WERE A DISSERVICE TO THE DISRICK. SUPERINTENDENT CAIN, YOU SAID
CANDIDLY, JAA WOULD NOT BE VIABLE TO OPEN IN TIME. YET THEY ARE NOW APPROVED AS GOOD TO OPEN IN 2026, A FULL YEAR BEFORE THE NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC SCHOOL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 51. CONSTRUCTION IS ALREADY UNDERWAY AT THE SITE. IT IS DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING.
IT IS ALSO NOTED THAT THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO CSI ABOUT THE LAN IN THE REVIEW PROCESS. THAM SILENCE INTENTIONAL OR NOT UNDERMINES PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THIS AREA. MEANWHILE, THE BOARD TOP RESIDENCE INSTEAD OF BUILDING
TRUST TO THE COMMUNITY THEY WILL SERVE. FAMILIES RALLY BEHIND 5A BELIEVING IT WOULD DELIVER A DISTRICT LED SCHOOL AND NOW WE ARE LEFT WONDERING HOW THE OPENING WILL AFFECT ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL 51 ENROLLMENT, FUNDING AND LONG TERM PLANNING. OUR CRITICAL CONDITIONS THAT DESERVE ANSWERS. I URGE THE BOARD AND SUPERINTENDENT TO PUBLICLY ADDRESS THE LONG TERM DECISION AND RECOMMIT TO PUTTING THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLSANCE OUR STUDENTS FIRST. THE RELEASE OF JAA IS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED AND OUT OF TOUCH. IT WILL AFFECT MOST. TONIGHT IT IS NOT ABOUT LOOKING BACK BUT WHAT WE CAN DO NOW TO STRENGTHEN PUBLIC EDUCATION IN OUR COMMUNITY.
WE NEED ADVOCATES FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS ELECTED TO THIS BOARD. LEADERS WHO WILL PRIORITIZE THE STUDENT SHALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY. TO THOSE WHO SUPPORTED THIS RELEASE, YOUR ACTIONS WROTE FOR TRUE
EDUCATION WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE POLLS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. MR. BLAIR, CAN DIRECTOR MEEK -- DOES SHE HAVE AUDIO YET? IF NOT, WE SHOULD TAKE A QUICK BREAK TO SEE IF WE CAN. >> SHE DOESN'T. WE HAVE TO PLAY A LITTLE
GAME BETWEEN THE AUDIO. SO I CAN PLAY IT FROM MY COMPUTER. >> CAN WE JUST TAKE A QUICK FIVE MINUTE BREAK INTHEN IF I CAN JUST COME OVER TO CHAT WITH YOU. FIVE MINUTES. IT IS EVERYONE GOOD WITH THAT? ALL RIGHT: >> SO WE ARE GOING TO
MOVE TO THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. >> SEW I WOULD LIKE TO PULL FOR DISCUSSION VIEW POINT APPROVAL OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT REQUEST TO UNDERTAKE OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES AND 8.9 WHICH THIS IS APPROVAL OF NEW MEMBERSHIP FOR THE BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. FO THAT ONE, RECOMMENDATION WILL BE TO REMOVE AND ADD TO IT THE NEXT AGENDA. >> YEP. OK. DIRECTOR MYERS. I WOULD LIKE TO PULL 8.5
APPROVAL OF BOE SELF EVALUATION PGP 1. CODE OF CONDUCT FOR DISCUSSION. >> HE OK. ALL RIGHT. DO I HAVE A MOTION CONCERNING CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS 8.1 THROUGH
.4, 8., 8.1 THROUGH .16? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> MOTION. SECOND BY THOMPSON.
[VOTING] >> GREAT. PASSES 7-0. WE WILL START IN ORDER SO START WITH 8.5. >> I JUST HAVE -- I DON'T AGREE THAT WE WROTE POLICY BY SIGNING A LETTER.
SO I WANTED TO CLARIFY HOW SIGNING A LETTER BROKE THE POLICY 1.8.6. >> I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT
ON THE NOTES. CONTINUE TO BELIEVE WE AS A BOARD ADOPTED A SET OF POLICIES BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, ADOPTED A PROCESS WHEREBY THAT KIND OF CONVERSATION WAS DONE THROUGH OUR LOBBYIST. I CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO CLARIFY, BE IF WE ARE NOT GOING
TO HAVE THE LOBBYIST DO THAT, THEN WE SHOULD HAVE THE LOBBYIST DO IT, THEN AT THE MINIMAL PROCESS WHEREBY THE LOBBY PIST IS NOT CONSULTED ABOUT ADDRESSING LEGISLATION AND UNDERMINES A WHOLE PROCESS. OF HAVING A LOBBYIST. WHETHER OR NOT YOU
AGREEDED WITH THE BILL AND TURNS OUT THE BILL HAD VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH THE OBJECTIONS THAT YOU ENTERED, WHEN WE HAVE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, EXPRESS EXPRESSING THEMES AS MEMBERS OF THIS HE BOARD NOT CONSULTING WITH THE LOBBYIST, NOT CONSULTING
WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND NOT CONSULTING WITH CONSULTING WITH OUR STAFF, WE PUT OURSELVES IN A POSITION, WE MAY BE AS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, UNDERMEANING THE WORK THAT WE PAY THEM TO DO. AND AGAIN, IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PROCESS, WHERE I SIT DOWN WITH
OUR LOBBYIST, AND ESTABLISH THAT, THEN ASSIGN OUR LOBBYIST ON THAT, WE THEN UNDERMINED HIM, IF THE MAJORITY OF BOARD SIGNS OFF ON, DOES NOT ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES DOES NOT GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
NOW THAT BILL WAS BEING CHANGED. BITTERLY AT THE LAST MOMENT. IT CHANGED FROM THE TIME THE LETTER WAS SIGNED TO THE TIME THAT IT WAS SENT AND THIS IS THE DANGER OF HAVING PEOPLE PARTICULARLY IN A FAST MOVING ENVIRN DON'T THAT. I THINK YOU WANT TO HAVE A DIFFERENT ISCUSSION OR WHOEVER IS ON THE BOARD
MUST HAVE A DIFFERENT DISKINGS DECEMBER ABOUT WHAT WE ASSIGNED TO THE LOBBYIST BUT WITH VERY A ONE VOTE CONSENT RULE. AS THIS ONCE WE MAKE A DECISION WE ALL STICK TO IT. THIS WAS THE CASE WHERE FOUR MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD DID NOT AGREE THAT WE SHOULD GOING THAT THE PROCESS THAT'S WE AGREED
TO. THAT IS WHY I FELT THAT. DOCUMENT MEAN I AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH YOUR POSITION. I MEANT THAT WE ESTABLISH A PROCESS AND WE SHOULD STICK TO THAT PROCESS. THAT WAS MY CONCERN. IT WAS NOT MEANT AS A MORAL RITECISM OR ANYTHING ELSE. I JUST THERE ISES A DANGER PARTICULARLY AT
THE END WHEN A BILL IS BEING MASSED OF US GETTING INVOLVED UNAREAS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND. OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH LEGISLATORS IS A CAREFUL ONE. ITS ONE WE TRY TO ADOPT THROUGHOUT.
I WAS TRYING TO TALK TO THE BOARD BACK AND FORTH ABOUT THIS. WHEN WE, AGAIN, HAVE A PROCESS, AND IT IS GONE AROUND BY MEMBERS OF THE PARD, EVEN WITHIN THE BEST OF ATTENTIONS, WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. THAT IS WHY I PUT IT IN THERE. I THOUGHT IT WAS DISCUSSION WE NEEDED TO HAVE.
>> DIRECTOR WINEGAR. A FEEL LIKE THIS WOULD BE BETTER DISCUSSED AT OUR OCTOBER STUDY SESSION THAT WE HAVE TO KIND OF TALK MORE ABOUT SELF EVAL WEIGHS AND I THINK THIS ACTUALLY WOULD BE A GOOD ONE TO
ADDRESS AT THAT MEETING, SO IS IT ALL RIGHT IF I MOTION TO TABLE THIS OR DID YOU WANT FURTHER DISCUSSIONS? >> ANYONE ELSE HAVE COMMENT? >> DIRECTOR MOORE, THEN I HAVE SOMETHING. >> OK. >> AND I KNOW WE TALKED
ABOUT THIS AT THE RETREAT A LITTLE BIT AS WELL. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, I GET THE LOGIC, THAT DIRECTOR IS USING ON THIS.
THE DAY THAT I SIGNED ON TO THE LETTER, I REVIEWED, EXCUSE ME, I REVIEWED THE LANGUAGE OF THE PROPOSE PROPOSED LEGISLATION THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US BY OUR VENDOR THAT PROVIDES THIS LEGISLATIVE UPDATES
AND THE LANGUAGE THAT -- A BIG PART OF THE LANGUAGE THAT I WAS OPPOSED TO IN THE BILL WAS ULTIMATELY CHANGED DURING A REVISION. NOT ALL OF IT.
BUT A PART OF IT. THE ATTACHED VERSION OF THE BILL THAT DAY THAT WAS PROVIDED ON THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE WAS PROBABLY WERE UP ADULTED THAT THE LANGUAGE MAY HAVE ALREADY CHANGED PRIOR TO THAT UPDATE COMING TO US AND HAD IT,
I WAS VERY CONSCIOUS OF THE POSITION THAT I TOOK BECAUSE I KNEW THIS BILL WAS CHANGING RAPIDLY OVER TIME. SO I WANTED TO GO BACK TO SEE WHAT WAS STILL IN THE BILL AND WHAT HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT BEFORE I TOOK A NORMAL POSITION.
AND I DID TAKE MY FORMAL POSITION ON THAT LETTER BASED ON WHAT WAS IN THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE WHICH I THINK WAS PROBABLY INACCURATE SO I WOULD HOPE, AND FUTURE UPDATES WE GET THEY ARE MORE ANG CRATE BECAUSE WE ARE IN A TOUGH POSITION AS
BOARD MEMBERS. I I DEGREE DIRECTOR, MAYBE THIS IS A GOOD DISCUSSION FOR THE WORK SESSION ONLY BECAUSE -- WHILE I DON'T DISAGREE WITH DIRECTOR, IF WE AGREE TO A PROCESS AND
WE ARE GOING TO HIRE TO WORK TOWARD THEMENT MATE GOALS ON LEGISLATION. THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE IS LEGISLATION CHANGES SO -- WHAT IS GOING ON
AT THE LEDGE LEGISLATURE SOME OF THE BILLS POP UP OUT OF NOWHERE. AND THEY CHANGE RAPIDLY OVERTIME. WE AS BOARD MEMBERS WERE CONTACTED BY CONSTIENTS, POPE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT HAVE EXPECTATIONS THAT WANT OUR POSITIONS IN HOW WE FEEL ABOUT CERTAIN PARTS OF
LEGISLATION OR ENTIRE BILLS IN GENERAL. SOMETIME THEY ARE VERY DEEP CONFLICTS. PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL CONFLICTS IN A BILL. IT IS A TOUGH BIND TO BE IN WHERE YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU CANNOT SPEAK OPENLY ABOUT THE LEGISLATION BECAUSE OUR ABILITY TO DO THAT COULD ACTUALLY HAVE A HAND IN GETTING THE LEGISLATION BEFORE ITS IN THE TIME DRAFT CHANGED. I MEAN, OFTENTIMES THE LEGISLATURE DOES MAKE
CHANGES BASED ON COMMUNITY INPUT WHETHER IT IS FROM BOARD MEMBER OR OTHER FOLKS SO PART OF ME HATES TO TAKE AWAY THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE SOME INPUT BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T WANT TO WORK AGAINST THE LOBBYIST EITHER BUT HATE TO LOSE OUR ABILITY TO COME MEN ON CERTAIN
PARTS OF LEGISLATION THAT COULD BE PROBLEMATIC. >> CAN YOU HEAR? HE EJ. I WAS GOING TO SECOND
THE MOTION TO TABLE THIS FOR THE OCTOBER 21st WORK SESSION WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT OUR BOARD SELF EVALUATION. IT SEEMS LOOK THE LONGER CONVERSATION AND ALLOWING EVERYONE TIME TO PREPARE WOULD BE HELPFUL. >> OK.
I WILL SAVE THE COMMENTS BECAUSE I COULD GO WITH THAT. SO DIRECTOR WINE GAR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTIONS? >> TABLE. >> TO POSTPONE.
>> I MENTION TO POSTPONE UNTIL OUR OCTOBER WORK SESSION. EYE SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT. MOTION AND SECONDED.
[VOTING] >> PASSES 7-0. THEN WE'LL MOVE INTO 8.6 THE APPROVAL OF SUPERINTENDENT REQUEST TO UNDERTAKE OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES. DIRM LOOKER THOMPSON. >> THANK YOU. >> DIRECTOR. >> SO I WANTED TO LEAVE
A COUPLE OF COMMENTS BEFORE VOTING ON THIS. SO THE LETTER OUTLINES THAT THIS REQUEST TO UNDERTAKE OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES AND SUPERINTENDENT KANE
OUTLINED WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE PERSONAL TIME AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE BALANCING APPRECIATE AUGUSTS FOR THE PERSONAL TIME. I THINK, THOUGH, WHEN WE MAKE THIS VOTE, THAT IF WE VOTE TO APPROVE, WE APPROVE IT GRANTED IT IS
CONTINGENT UPON ADHERENCE TO CONDITIONS WROUGHT LINED AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL. JUST SO IT IS SUPER CLEAR, THERE ARE GUARDRAILS IN PLACE FOR IT. IDEALLY, THAT IS SOMETHING WE COULD CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD
FOR THE MEANTIME, SOME OF THE ADDITIONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ADD ARE JUST THAT AND NOT INTERFERE WITH DISTRICT RESPONSIBILITIES , MEETINGS, EMERGENCY RESPONSE DUTIES, REQUEST ANNUAL DISCLO HERB SURE
6 CONDUCTING ACTIVES AND THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO COMPETE WITH OR CONFLICT WITH OUR DISTRICT'S MISSION OR INVOLVE THE USE OF DISTRICTS ROW SOURCES AND THEN, THEN, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE PERSONAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT TO WHAT SUPERINTENDENT KANE IN THE LETTER THAT CONSULTING CONTRIBUTES TO HER PROEGGS IFAL
GROWTH AS WELL AND EBBS EXPOSURE TO BEST PRANG IS WHICH WOULD BENEFIT US AS WELL. OPERATE. ANYONE HAVE QUESTION FOR DIRECTOR THOMPSON ON
THOSE? >> I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE CONTINGENT ON THE APPEARANCE OF THOSE CONDITIONS. >> SECOND.
>> MOTION BY THOMPSON. SECOND. [VOTING] ALL RIGHT. THEN 8.9.
DIRECTOR THOMPSON, WILL LET YOU SINCE YOU ARE THE ONE WHO FOUND IT. >> YEAH FOR 8.9, JUST A REQUEST TO MOVE TO IT THE NEXT MEETING. OR THE NIXON SENT AGENDA WITH THE UPDATED DOCUMENTS. THE CURRENT DOCUMENT THAT IS ATTACHED IS A CHAIR LETTER TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
ITS NOT THE RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS. >> THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE NEW SYSTEMS, SO JUST A LEARNING CURVE.
>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTIONS? >> I WILL SECOND IT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MOTION YET. OH, KATE. DIRECTOR WINEGAR HASES A QUESTION. >> SO ARE WE UNABLE TO APPROVE IT SINCE IT IS NOT ATTACHED? >> RIGHT. >> OK. I GOT YOU. >> YEAH. SO IT IS TO POSTPONE
UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING? MUCH YEAH. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTIONS? >> SO MOVED WE POSTPONE 8.9 UNTIL OUR NECT MEETING WHEN WE HAVE DOOR -- ABLE TO ATTACH THE CORRECT DOCUMENTS. OK. MOTION BY THOMPSON.
SECOND BY MOORE. [VOTING] >> ALL RIGHT. PASSES 7-0. ON TO THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES THE
RECOMMENDATION THAT IS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE REGULAR MEETING HELD ON JUNE 10th AND THE BOARD RETREAT ON JULY 20th. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE MINUTES? >> SO MOVED. >> PRESIDENT? >> DIRECTOR MEEK. >> YEAH. WAS JUST GOING TO NOTE
THAT THE JUNE 10th MINUTES ARE INCOMPLETE. IT IS ACTUALLY MISSING VOTE ENVELOPES ON TWO OF THE AGENDA ITEMS. I THINK IT WAS ITEM 24 AND 25. OK.
HOLD ON. >> OH. SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THEN TO APPROVE THE JUNE -- POSTPONE THE JUNE 10th MEETING
MINUTES TO THE NEXT ONE. OR WE CAN JUST FIX IT. WHATS THE EASIEST WAY? WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY? >> MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO ACTUALLY HAVE THEM CORRECT IT AND MADE PUBLIC BEFORE
VOTING GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THOSE VOTES? S A YEAH. LET'S MOVE THE JUNE. OK. WE HAVE TO TAKE, TAKE A VOTE -- WE'LL DO TWO SEPARATE VOTES THEN. LET'S JUST START SOMEONE MAKE A MOTION ON THE
JUNE 10th MEETING. MOTION TO TABLE THE MEETING MINUTES FOR JUNE 10th. >> SECOND. >> TO THE NEXT MEETING.
>> SECOND. >> MOTION BY WINEGAR. [VOTING M. [ THEN JULY 2 6:00th.
I MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING FROM JULY 26th, 2025. >> SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY MOORE. SECOND BY MYERS. [VOTING]
OPERATE. PASSES 7-0. THEN, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO OUR FIRST STUDY ACTION TKCALLY POLICY GOVERNANCE FOR A QUICK MOVE FOR A PRESENTATION FROM TRACY RAINY FROM THE COLORADO
SCHOOL FINANCE PROJECT. TRACY, THANKS FOR JOINING US REMOTELY ON YOUR VERY BUSY DAY. >> WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HOPE YOU RECEIVE THE INFORMATION AHEAD OF TIME. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER. I WANTED TO JUST GIVE A
LITTLE BIT OF EXPLANATION OF WHO WE ARE. THE SCHOOL FINANCE PROJECT IS A NONPROFIT NONPARTISAN ORGANIZATION THAT WAS CREE CREATED IN 1995 AND BEEN SUPPORTED BY THE EDUCATION ED ORGANIZATION AND SCHOOL DISTRICT THINGSSEN.
WE ARE AS I SAID, A NONPROFIT NONPART SAN. WE DO NOT LOBBY. BUT WE DO PROVIDE ANALYSIS ON LEGISLATION OR ON POLICIES THAT ARE BEING DISCUSSED AND WHAT THAT IMPACT MAY BE FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AM WE SHARE THAT WITH THE MEMBER ORGANIZATION, THE MEMBERS WHO ARE PART OF CSFP AND AT TIMES WE WILL BE SHARING THAT WITH LEGISLATURES COLLEEN WAS ON THE FINANCIAL ADVISORY
COMMITTEE FOR SELF YEARS. HER PARTICIPATION WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED AND SHE WAS ALWAYS VERY THOUGHTFUL AND HELPFUL IN HER APPROACHES AND WE'LL MISS HER. BEING A MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION, WE DO HAVE
SOME OF OUR INFORMATION THAT IS AVAILABLE ONLY TO OUR MEMBERS. AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IS THE PACKET WE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED WHICH IS THE ANNUAL PROFILE REPORTS. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THAT, IT GIVES YOU TREND MAIL
SIS, SEVERAL AREAS AND IN BEING ABLE TO DO THAT, IT IS ALLOWS TO YOU LOOK AND SEE WHAT THAT, WHAT THOSE TRENDS ARE BEST BOTH MAYBE ON THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS YOU HAVE, STUDENTS, DEMO GRAPH IN, FUNDING, STATE
LOCAL SHARE, TAX IMPACT. SO IT GIVES YOU AN ARRAY OF INFORMATION. I ALSO THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO REALIZE THAT AS BEING A MEMBER, YOU ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR
MONTHLY MEETINGS. WE HAVE THOSE VIRTUALLY, A COUPLE OF IN PERSON AS WELL. THEN, IN THAT YOU ARE ALSO ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WERE INVOLVED WITH THE STUDY FORCE THE STATE, YOU HAD
SEVERAL STAFF MEMBERS TAKE PART IN SOME OF THE EVIDENCE-BASED PAMS THAT WERE HELPING TO INCLUDE INFORMATION FOR THAT WORK. THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH AS YOU HAVE EXAMPLES OF
ALSO IN THAT PACKET WERE OBVIOUSLY SOME OF THE IMPACT WITH THE NEW SCHOOL FINANCE BILL WITH THE IMPACT FOR YOUR DISTRICTS AND THE TRANSPARENCY COMPONENT, THAT WAS REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
THE THINGS THAT PROVIDE SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR YOUR DISTRICT, OBVIOUSLY, CAN BE VERY HELPFUL AS YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT WHAT IMPACT MAY BE ESPECIALLY AS LEGISLATION IS MOVING THROUGH. I ALSO INCLUDED AN
EXAMPLE OF A BOARD PRESENTATION THAT I DID FOR YOUR DISTRICT BACK IN 2020. YOU HAVE BEEN ACTING MEMBERS WITH SCHOOL FINANCE PROJECT AND AND
WE HAVE MOVED AND ALTERED BASED ON INPUT WE HAVE GOTTEN FROM SCHOOL DISTRICTS. WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS TO DO SOME STRATEGIC BUDGETING AND YOU HAVE ALSO HAD TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS YOU HAD MEMBERS OF YOUR
STAFF PARTICIPATE IN THESE TRAININGS. WE DO HOST THEM ALL AROUND THE STATE AND THEY ARE NOT JUST FOR RURAL DISTRICTS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, WE HAD MANY OF THE LARGER DISTRICTS TAKE PART IN IT.
WE HAVE A DISTRICT WHO HAS BROUGHT THEIR ENTIRE BUDGET TEAM AND HAVE SPLIT THAT OUT OVER FOUR DIFFERENT TRAININGS SO THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AS A TEAM AND BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION WITH SOME
OF THE SUGGESTIONS. I ALSO THINK THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU WITH BEING A LARGER DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SHARE YOUR IN SIGHT
WHEN WE HAVE OUR PACIFICALLY CFO OR BUDGET DIRECTOR MEETINGS WHICH ARE MOCHLY PRIOR TO OUR ADVISORY MEETING AND THAT OBVIOUSLY CAN HELP REALLY BUILD CAMARADERIE AND TO HELP
SUPPORT THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE IN A WAY THAT IS,ABLE, NOT TRYING TO HAVE A LOBBYING COMPONENT BUT REALLY UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE. I THIS I WITH VERY SEEN
OVER THE LAST LAST SEVERAL YEARS EVEN LARGER DISTRICTS AS THEY ARE TAR LING AND LOOKING AT SITUATIONS MAY LOOK VERY DIFFERENT DEFENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF IMPACT THAT IS FINALLY. AND I KNOW SPECIFICALLY AS THE NEW SCHOOL FINANCE BILL WAS GOING
THROUGH, THERE WAS LOTS OF CHALLENGES FOR DISTRICTS WHO WERE RECEIVING ADDITIONAL DOLLARS SUCH AS YOUTH THROUGH COST OF LIVING AND THE UP PACK THAT THERE WAS AND ESPECIALLY AS DOLLARS DIVERTED THOUGH COST OF LIVING
INTO DIFFERENT POTS OF REVENUE THAT MAY BE DISADVANTAGED FOR CERTAIN DISTRICTS AND I KNOW DOG LASS COUNTY HAD A LOT OF CONCERN OVER PARTS OF THAT. WE ALSO HOSTED OUR ANNUAL CONFERENCE. OUR NEXT ONE IS COMING UP IN SEPTEMBER.
WE HAVE HAD PARTICIPANTS FROM YOUR DISTRICT AGAIN THIS YEAR I BELIEVE WE HAVE BOTH YOUR CFO AND SUPERINTENDENT ATTENDING AND THOSE OPPORTUNITIESES TO ALSO OPEN FOR BOARD MEMBERS, SO IT IS IMPORTANT FOR TO YOU FOE, THAT AS A
POOR, YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE MONLY ADVISORY MEETINGS. CONFERENCES. BE A PART OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS AS WELL. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE GIVING ME ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF TIME SO I IN WITH AD AND ANY OF YOU
HAVE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS. AND THEN, I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE NEEDING ANYTHING ELSE. >> GREAT. >> THANK YOU. DIRECTOR GIRE. >> THANK YOU FOR COMING.
FOR THE PUB PLUCK, THE JOKE IS THERE IS MAYBE TWO DOZEN PEOPLE IN THE STATE WHO UNDERSTAND SCHOOL FINANCE. NONE OF THEM IS IN THE LEGISLATURE. YOU MENTIONED THED A
WAIT SY STUDIES. AS COMPARED TO OTHER STATES IN THE PAST IS
VASTLY UNDERFUNDED. >> YOU ARE UTILIZING AND IT REALLY COMES IN TO HIGHLIGHT THE CHALLENGES THE DISTRICTS HAVE TO PAY THEIR STAFF AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE, YOU KNOW, CONSTANTLY
STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH NOT ONLY OTHER, YOU KNOW, DISTRICTS SURROUNDING YOU, BUT ALSO TO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE LIKE EDUCATION BACKGROUNDS.
GENERATE MUCH MORE REVENUE AND BEING IN A MUCH LESS STRESSFUL JOB THAT IS DIRECT CORELATION TO THE LACK OF RESOURCES THAT THE STATE HAS PUT FORWARD. >> I WILL ASK YOU A VERY BLUNT QUESTION. IN ORDER TO FULLY FUND YO SCHOOLS AS DETAILED
BY THE ADEQUACY STUDY DO WE NEED A FUNDAMENTAL OVERHAUL OF SCHOOL FINANCE IN THE STATE? >> I THINK IT IS A COME PI NATION OF SCHOOL FINANCE AND OF ROOK
LOOKING AT OUR TAX BASE BUT ALSO THEN REALLY RECOGNIZING THE FACT THAT DURING 12 YEARS AGO, COLORADO WAS FUNDING EDUCATION ABOUT 46% OF THOSE REVENUES WERE COMING FROM THE
STATE'S GENERAL FUND. AND THAT GENERAL FUND CONTINUED TO FROZE BUT THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE NOW COMING THE GENERAL FUND SUPPORTING K1 TEDCATION HAS BEEN REDUCED DOWN TO 27% SO I THINK, ONE, IT IS KIND OF LOOKING AT PRI ORS.
SECONDLY, LOOKING AT THE TAX STRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE IN ORDER TO ADEQUATELY FUND THE SCHOOLS IN COLORADO. FINALLY DEAL WELL NEARLY
BILLION SHORTFALL IN THE STATE BUD FETH. IT IS THERE ANY RISK EITHER IN THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION OR IN THE NEXT THE SCHOOL BUDGETS WILL BE REDUCED? >> WELL, I THINK IT IS
CHALLENGING TO THINK THAT K12 IS NOT IMPACT AT SOME POINT. BECAUSE THEY HAVE GOT TO SOLVE A LITTLE OVER $1 BILLION PROBLEM. GOING FOR THE CURRENT YEAR WE ARE IN. THEN WE WILL BE LOOKING
AT ABOUT ANOTHER $1.02 TO AT LEAST AT THIS PUP, THE LAST AMOUNT OF REVENUE SHORTFALL FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR WHEN THEY GO BACK IN JANUARY. AND TOP THINK THAT K12 IS NOT UP PACKED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IS HIGHLY IRREGULAR.
WE HAVE NOT SEEN THAT BEHAVIOR IN THE PAST. SO I CAN NOT IMAGINE THEM NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH SOME TYPE OF MECHANISM FOR REDUCING FUNDING. THAT COULD BE ALSO IN THE WAY THAT STUDENTS ARE COUNTED. WE SAW THAT WAS ONE OF
THE AREAS OF FOCUS THIS PAST YEAR. AND SO, THAT OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS ON THE TABLE ALREADY AS WE KNOW FOR NEXT YEAR. >> THANK YOU. WHAT I DO KNOW ABOUT SCHOOL FUNDING, I
ATTRIBUTE EAT GREAT DAL TO YOU. THANK YOU. >> ANYONE ELSE? >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN A MEMBER? >> YOU HAVE BEEN A MEMBER ALL BUT ONE YEAR. >> ALL BUT ONE YEAR SINCE?
>> SINCE, JOY, SI SINCE -- IT IS ABOUT 30 YEARS OLD. AND SO, YES. THERE WAS ONE YEAR WHEN YOU WERE NOT. >> OK. AND THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU SHARED WITH US THAT SO THE IMPACT DOWN, ET
CETERA, ONCE OCEANS THOSE TO US, ARE WE ALLOWED TO DISTRIBUTE THOSE? >> THAT IS FINE, IF YOU WANT TO. BUT FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE PROFILE DATA TAT THAT WE SEND, WE NEVER SEND THAT OUT TO THE PUBLIC OR HAVE IT POSTED BUT IT IS ALL PUBLIC
INFORMATION AND SO YOU ARE WELCOME TO USE IT HOWEVER YOU WOULD LIKE. >> OK. I WAS THINKING LIKE WE HAVE FOUR COMMITTEES LIKE THE FISCAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE BEING ABLE TO DISTRIP BEAUTIFUL IT TO THEM. EVEN THINKING ABOUT LIKE
OUR WEBSITE. WE ARE THINKING ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY SINCE YOU ARE NONPARTISAN OUTSIDE GROUP. >> THAT IS MORE THAN FINE. WE JUST MAKE IT FOR YOU
TO MAKE THAT DECISION VERSUS US MAKING THAT DECISION FOR YOU. >> OK. >> THEN YOU HAD MENTIONED YOU ARE LOBBYIST BUT PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE IMPACT OF LEGISLATION AND SO, YOU PROVIDED TO
US, THEN, YOU ALSO PROVIDED IT TO THE LEGISLATURES. >> SO, THAT IS CORRECT. SO PART OF THE PROCESS WHEN LEGISLATION IS INTRODUCED IS TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT A FISCAL IMPACT THERE IS AND THEY
CALL IT A FISCAL NOTE. THE STATE DOES AN ANALYSIS LOOKING AT THE IMPACT AT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION BUT THEY DON'T LOOK AT THE IMPACT OF WHAT IT MEANS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN MANY
CASES. SO WHAT, YOU KNOW, AS THE NEW SCHOOL FINANCE BILL WAS MOVING THROUGH, WE DID VARIOUS ITERATIONS OF UPDATING INFORMATION TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO UNDERSTAND AS WELL AS FOR LEGISLATURES TO
UNDERSTAND. AND AS, AS PART OF THE CHALLENGE, TOO, IS WHEN THE STATE IS LOOKING AT THE FISCAL NOTE, THEY DON'T DO UPDATED IS CALL NOTES AS OFTEN AS THE BILL GETS UPDATED, SO AS
THINGS MOVE FAIRLY QUICKLY THROUGH THAT PROCESS, IT BECOMES REALLY IMPORTANT AND A VERY TIMELY WAY TO TRY MAKE SURE THAT DISTRICTS UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND TO HAVE UNDERSTANDING OF, YOU KNOW, WHY THEY MAY LOOK
DIFFERENT THAN ANOTHER DISTRICT, THEN THINKING ABOUT WHEN PEOPLE THINK ABOUT MAKING A TWEAK TO SOMETHING, IS THAT TWEAK GOING TO BE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL? AND SOP WE JUST TRY TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION SO THAT DISTRICTS HAVE THAT AVAILABLE AND THEY CAN MAKE SURE THEN THEY
CAN USE THAT HOWEVER THEY MAY WANT TO. >> SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU ARE SENDING US IMPACT DATA, THAT IS SOMETHING THEN THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR US TO SHARE WITH THE LOCAL LEGISLATURES? >> RIGHT.
CORRECT. >> AND THEN, UM, LET'S SEE HERE. YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT YOU CAME TO A BOARD MEETING A FEW YEARS BACK AND I WAS CUR IS WHERE, IF WE WANTED TO DO THAT. I AM THINKING IN THE
ROLE OF LIKE THE ROLE OF THE BOARD. WHAT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR US. WOULD THAT BE OPTION TO HAVE LIKE YOU GUYS COME OUT TO SPEAK TO ONE OF THE COMMITTEES SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE CHARGED THE IS CALL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WITH REVIEWING IN THE THINGS LIKE FUNDING NEEDS AND WHEN
WE MAY NEED TO, YOU KNOW, PUT ANOTHER INITIATIVE ON THE BALLOT FOR FUNDING OR THINGS LIKE THAT. IT IS THAT SOMETHING YOU GUYS DO INTHAT IS A SERVICE YOU PROVIDE TO MEMBERS? >> YES. IT IS. AND I MANY TIMES WILL TAG TEAM WITH THE
SUPERINTENDENT IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT WHERE I MAYBE WILL TALK ABOUT IT IN THE STATE LEVEL AND THINKING ABOUT THEN WHAT THAT MEANS FOR DOUGLAS COUNTY AND THE SUPERINTENDENT MAY WANT TO EXPAND MORE OR THE BUDGET DIRECTOR, CFC OSH TO BE ABLE TO TALK, OK,
THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD MEAN FOR US. THIS IS WHY WE MAY NEED TO DO THIS IN OUR DISTRICT. BE HAPPY YOU TO DO THAT. >> OK. THEN, BACK TO THE UP PACK. THEN BACK TO THE IMPACT. THE PORTION TO EACH DISTRICT.
I ASSUME THOSE REPORTS COME OUT TIMELY SO WE CAN USE THEM. WE DO OUR BEST. AS SOON AS WE GET INFORMATION, WE WILL DO THAT. WE ALSO ALWAYS WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. TO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE ARE THINKING ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, THE WAY
THEY ARE LOOKING AT IT, IMPLEMENTATION IS ASSIGN ARE LINED SOD WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT SOMETHING DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. SO YES WITH HE TRY TO PROVIDE THAT VERY QUICKLY. >> OK. THEN, MY LAST QUESTION, I JUST HAD WAS, YOU
MENTIONED THE BUDGETING. DO YOU MUND PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT ABOUT WHAT IS, WHAT THAT PROCESS IS? >> SURE. HELPING DISTRICTS THINK ABOUT IS LOOKING AT
THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT THEIR HIGHEST PRIORITIES ARE, THEN DOES THAT ALIGN DIRECTLY WITH WHERE THEIR RESOURCE OFS ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED AND HOW DO YOU LOOK AT LINKING THAT AND THEN, THEN EVALUATING TO SEE
IF THOSE THINGS ARE ACTUALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN FOR EXAMPLE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT OR IF IT IS FOR, YOU FO HE, LOOKING AT RECRUITMENT, RETENTION OF TEACHERS OR STAFF. SO THESE, IT IS, IT IS ABOUT A DAY AND A HALF
PROGRAMMING. WE INDIVIDUALIZE IT FOR EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT SO THAT IT IS YOUR DATA TAT THAT YOU ARE WOKING WITH AND FROM THERE THINK ABOUT IT NOT JUST BEING
HERE'S THE BUDGET THAT I HAD LAST YEAR BUT REALLY THINK ABOUT HOW DO YOU ENSURE THAT YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR DOLLARS TOWARD YOUR MOST IMPORTANT OBJECTIVES AND HOW DO YOU QUICK DO
SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE DOING THAT MAYBE IS NOT GETTING THE RESULTS AND THEN HOW ARE YOU, YOU OH, WHO ALL IS INVOLVED IN THAT EVALUATION PROCESS WITH YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND YOUR BUDGETING PRIORITIES, WHAT IS THAT TIMELINE LOOK LIKE?
HOW DO YOU LAY THAT OUT SO THAT IT IS VERY TRANSPARENT FOR YOUR COMMUNITY? AND WHAN ARE THE COMMUNICATION AVENUES AROUND THAT, WHO ALL DO YOU INCLUDE IN THAT PROCESS? SO IT IS FARLEY, IT IS A DETAILED PLAN, WE HAVE
GOTTEN VERY GOOD COMMENTS FROM ALL KINDS OF DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE. AND LOOK I SAID, IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE HAD MANY LARGE DISTRICTS PARTICIPATE AS WELL AS SMALL.
>> SORRY ONE MORE QUESTION. IT IS THAT ALSO INCLUDED THINK MEMBERSHIP? ARE THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS? >> NO, THERE IS NO COST FOR THAT KAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FORGIVING US YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU. >> MY PLEASURE. I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY FOLLOW-UP AFTERWARDS. >> WE APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.
GOOD LUCK TODAY. >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT MOVING ON TO THE MILLPOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE PRESENTTITION AND THE BOND UPDATE.
>> GOOD EVENING. YOU WILL GET THREE OF US TONIGHT, SO I DECIDED TO GIVE YOU FOREWARNING ON THAT SO YOU DON'T ARE TO LISTEN TO ME THE WHOLE TIME. BEFORE WE START, THOUGH, I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE GENTLEMEN BY THE NAME OF JOHN FREEMAN, MOST OF YOU KNOW JOHN. DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS, HE HAD TO RESIGN.
JOHN CHAIRED THIS COMMITTEE FOR SEVEN VATING YEARS. SO I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM FOR WHAT HE GAVE TO THE DISTRICT AND HIS TIME. SO ON THAT, OK. TONIGHT, YOU WILL SEE ME. I AM RES SEASONALLY SHARING THE COMMITTEE
WITH JOHN'S RESIGNATION. VANESSA HOFFMANS THE SECRETARY RECORDER FOR THE COMMITTEE NOW AND HAS VICE CHAIRMAN ON THAT AND KATHERINE WHITMORE TO MY LEFT, KATHERINE IS A SENIOR AT THUNDER RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL AND KATHERINE IS ON HER SECOND YEAR ON THE COMMITTEE AS A
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE. SHE HAS BEEN GREAT. SO YOU WILL BE ABLE ABLE TO HEAR FROM ALL OF US TONIGHT.
MY PORTION WILL BE A SUMMARY OF WHERE WE ARE. I AM SURE ALL OF YOU REMEMBER AT THE PASSAGE OF THE 2018 BOND, AND THE OVERRIDE, THE BOARD DID INDICATE TO THE COMMITTEE, TO THE COMMUNITY, THEY WOULD PROVIDE A COMMITTEE THAT
WOULD ENSURE THESE FUNDS WERE SENT AS OUTLINEDDED ON THE BALLOT. IT WAS FORMED AND WITH THREE MAJOR PURPOSES. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE 2018 OVERRIDE, AND THE BOND, MONITOR THE PROGRESS AND
IMPROVEMENTS ENSURE THE MLO UNDER LINED WITH THE LANGUAGE. THAT THAT ENED IN AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE 2018 BOND AND LEVY.
>> CHARGE OF MBOC. ESTABLISHED TO OVERSEE THE 2,000 BOND MMLO.? HE GOOD NEWS IS, WE ARE NOW FORTUNATE NOW HAVE THE ADDITIONAL OVERSIGHT FROM THE COMMITTEE FOR THE 66 MILLION IN
2023MLO AND THE 460 MILLION BOND SO OUR FOUR YEAR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMITTEE IS NOW REACHING ALMOST 7 YEARS BUT THAT IS GOOD. THAT MEANS WE HAVE REASON TO BE HERE. SO WE WERE PROUD THAT DID PASS.
YOU ARE SEEN THIS BEFORE. THE COMMITTEE HAS MET QUART ARELY. THESE ARE THE THINGS WE DO REVIEW. ME MLO OPERATING EXPENSE, SALARIES AND BENEFITS. EXPANDING THE COUNCILOR RANKS. INCREASEDPORT FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND
CAREER TECH. SECURITY. BOND. SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS, FACILITIES MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORTATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY S. SO THIS WILL GIVE YOU -- WE DID HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY. THE NEW SCHOOLS ARE NOT BUILD YET. WE COULD NOT LOOK AT THEM. WE DID GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT AND LOOK AT THE TWO NEW BUILDING SITES. AND WE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE STAFF MEMBERS WITH US THAT ARE WORKING WITH SOME OF THE BOND FUNDS AND VARIOUS POSITIONS SO
WE HAD TWO GREAT VISITS. YOU CAN SEE A PICTURE OF THIS AND DIRECTOR WINE GR AND DIRECTOR THOMPSON WERE ABLE TO JOIN US ON THIS TOUR. SO IT WAS VERY ENLIGHTENING. JACKIE HAD ALSO PROVIDED
US WITH LAYOUTS OF WHAT THE PROPOSED NEW SCHOOLS WOULD LOOK LIKE SO IT WAS HELPFUL TO SEE THE SITES TO SEE HOW THINGS WERE GOING TO BE SET UP, WHERE THE ENTRANCES WOULD BE, WHERE WOULD THE PATTERNING BE AND THAT TYPE OF THEN. THAT HAPPENED LAST MONTH. SO I AM GOING TO SWITCH
AND LET VANESSA HAVE IT NOW. >> WE HAD THE 2023MLO,
THE 2019 BND AND THE 2024 BONDND WAIL SHOW YOU BUD GES FROM LAST YEAR FOR EACH ONE. SO THAT 2019MLO IS COMPLETELY SPENT. HERE'S THE BREAKOUT FOR THAT.
THE 2023MLO, HERE IS THE BRACKOUT FOR THAT. AGAIN, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE $66 MILLION, YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT. THERE WAS CARRYOVER FOR THE 2024-2024 FROM THE SRO'S, THE UNVEILED POSITION AND EQUIPMENT.
THAT IS THE DISCREPANCY ON THIS SLIDE. THEN WE WERE VERY PLEASED TO HAVE A NEW BOND TO OVERSEE. THIS IS THE LANGUAGE FROM THE BALLOT ON THAT BOND.
THEN STAFF DID A GREAT JOB ON THE TIMING AND ISSUING OF THIS BOND. YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT WENT. AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE, TOO, ITS A STRONG RATING FROM AA PLUS. SO WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE, A LITTLE BIT MORE
PREMIUM TO SPEND. ON THE 2024 POND, THIS IS WHAT IT WAS DEDICATED TO. BECAUSE OF OUR REPORTING, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DETAILS. I KNOW WE ARE EXCITED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT AND SEE THE PROGRESS OF THE 2024 BOND THIS NEXT COMING
YEAR. I KNOW YOU ALL GET TO HEAR A LOT MORE ABOUT THAT, TOO. >> I DID ASK KATHERINE AS A STUDENT MEMBER OF OUR COMMITTEE TO TELL YOU WHAT HER FEELINGS ARE AND HER EXPERIENCES
HAVE BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE. SHE HAS BEEN A GREAT COMMITTEE MEMBER BEING A STUDENT. KATHERINE? >> EXACTLY WHAT HE JUST SAID. I DON'T HAVE ANY NUMBERS TO PRESENT NOW. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE ON THE BOARD SINCE IT IS HONst WILLING I ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPERIENCES I HAVE HAD.
I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING KNOW HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY IN ORDER TO WORK WITH BOND LEVY COMMITTEE SO CLO CLOSELY AND ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPERIENCES WHERE I FEEL LIKE I HAVE HAD A DIRECT VOICE AND
DIRECT AFFECT ON SUCH A BIG PROJECT SUCH AS THIS. IT IS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE SEEING THE EFFECTS OF IT WHERE I GET TO SEE STUDENTS WITHIN MY OWN SCHOOL EXMORE CTE PROGRAMS, WHICH ARE UNDER REPRESENTED WITHIN THE SCHOOL AND EXPLORE
CAREERS THEY WANT TO GO INTO OUTSIDE OF SCHOOLING AND USE THEIR HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE IN ORDER TO PREPARE THEM SELLS FOR THAT. AS WELL JUST ADDITION AGOLY, I WANTED TO THANK ALL THE MEMBERS FOR JUST TREATING ME AS A MEMBER AND TREATING ME WITH SUCH RESPECT AND I NEVER
FELT LIKE A STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE. I FEEL LIKE ONE THAT CAN HAVE THE VOICE AND ADD THEIR VOICE AND I HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE OVERALL. SO I WANTED TO COME UP HERE AND SAY THAT IT IS GREAT.
>> OK. IN SUMMARY, THE DETAILED INFORMATION TO THE MBOC HAS INCREASED THROUGHOUT OUR TENURE. I WILL GUARANTEE YOU, THIS HAS BEEN EASIER WITH THE SECOND BOND THAN IT WAS THE FIRST ONE. BECAUSE WE HAD NOT BEEN THROUGH THAT BEFORE. SO BETWEEN WORKING WITH FINANCE AND OPERATIONS,
IT HAS BEEN MUCH EASIER, EXPECT IT IS A, EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT'S THE EXPECT ASS ARE AND THEY HAVE PROVIDE US MUCH MORE DETAILED INFORMATION. A NEW REPORTING SYSTEM WAS FOR THE 2024 BOND WAS CREATED BY STAFF. AGAIN, THAT IS GIVING US A LOT MORE DETAIL THAN WHAT WE HAD INITIALLY
WITH FIRST BOND AND IT HAS BEEN GREAT HAVING THAT INFORMATION. THE STAFF CONTINUES TO PROVIDE THE COMMITTEE WITH BOTH SUMMARY AND DETAILED LIST OF ALL THE PROJECTS INCLUDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW SCHOOLS. THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT FOR US, BECAUSE THIS NEW FIRST BOND WE HAVE BEEN WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF
THE NEW SCHOOLS SO THAT WILL TAKE LEARNING PROC AND THE REPORT SHOWS THE INITIAL PROJECTS AND UPDATED ESTIMATES AND NOW WE HAVE SPREAD SHEETS WE SHOW WHAT HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW, AS I SAID. THE ESTIMATES OF THAT.
THE UPDATE THEN ACTUALLY WHAT HAS BEEN SPENT TO DATE. OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS HAVE CONTINUED TO SHOW GREAT I HIRTIVE AND INTEREST. INITIATIVE AND INTEREST IN THE PROCESS AND THE COMMITTEE.
>> YEAH. LESSONS LEARNED IN THE LAST TIME WE RAMPED TO THE BOARD LAST YEAR. THERES WERE LESSONS LEARNED. CLEAR AND PACIFIC BALLOT LANGUAGE. WE KNOW THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE LANGUAGE. THIS ONE THERE WAS NOT
ANY ISSUES THE LANGUAGE IS PACIFIC. IT IS CLEAR. THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT HOW THE FUNDING CAN BE. SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. CONSISTENT IN DETAIL. AVAILABLE INFORMATION. LIKE POST THE BND ON THE WEBSITE. EVERYTHING WAS UPFRONT ON THE WEBSITE BEFORE
THE BOND WAS EVEN VOTED ON. AND SINCE THAT TIME, I THINK YOU ARE AWARE, THE BOND MAP, THAT IS NOW AVAILABLE. AGAIN, SPECIAL THANKS TO MARK LAYER AND IT IS A SY. FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER. WE HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING BUT POSITIVE POSITIVE
POSITIVE COMMENTS ON THAT DOCUMENT I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW IS THERE. IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE. CLICK ON THE SCHOOL. YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU WAN. IT IS JUST GREAT. 3. OFFICIAL DETAILED AND POSTED ON THE WEBSITE
POLICIES AND PROCESSES PUT IN PLACE TO GUIDE AND EXPLAIN CHANGES IN THE BOND PLAN. THAT HAS NOT BEEN TRUE LAILLY. AS WE KNOW 6 RIGHT NOW, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY MAJOR CHANGE ORDERS THAT HAVE COME THROUGH WITH THE INITIALING VOTE. SO THAT IS WHAT WE ARE
CLEAN ON. MORE CONSISTENT IN DEPTH FINANCIAL EXPENSE INFORMATION AS I IT INDICATED THE REPORTING HAS BEEN GREAT. WE HAVE GOTTEN WHAT WE NEED FROM FINANCE. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY WILLING TO HELP WITH US THE DETAILED INFORMATION INCH THEN LAST EK
RECOMMENDATION THAT JOHN GAVE YOU LAST YEAR, THE BOND SIZE $450 MILLION OR GREATER, BREAK ISSUANCE OF THE BOND INTO THREE CYCLES. THIS BOND HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO TWO CYCLES. SO WE DO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT CONSIDERATION WAS TAKEN INTO PLACE.
SO, CYCLE ONE HAS BEEN ISSUED ALREADY. NEXT STEPS. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE 2018 AND 2023MLO. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE THE 2024 BOND AND SECOND ISSUANCE. CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
STAFF. BOARD OF EDUCATION AND OVERSIGHT. AND ONE OF THE ISSUES WE ARE HAVING RIGHT NOW, WE ARE HAVING TROUBLE CONTINUING TO KEEP MEMBERS. AND SO, WITH THE NEW BYLAWS PASSED BY THE BOARD RECENTLY, WE HAVE
HAD TO RESTRUCTURE THE COMMITTEE TO MEET REASONS OF THE DISTRICT SO NOW WE ARE WORKING CONTINUALLY TO HOPEFULLY GET NEW MEMBERS ON THE COMMITTEE WITH THAT ONE ON THAT PASS SIS. >> IN RUM RY, I WILL READ IT.
MBOC CAN REPORT TO THE BOARD, RESIDENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, BE THAT WE FIND ALL EX PEND TURES FOR THE 2018MLO, THE 2024MLO AND THE 2024 BOND
EXPENDITURE TO DATE. WE ARE COMFORTABLE NOW. LAST, I WILL GIVE YOU A FEEL -- DIRECTOR WINE GR AND DIRECTOR THOMPSON ARE NOT STAFF SO THE BOARD AND JANA, COLLEEN,
JACKIE, RICH, ERIC. WE GOT CAUGHT SHORT. WE WERE NOT EXPECTING THATMENT. THERE WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT JOHN HAD THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET TO. I GOT TO THANK THE STAFF. THEY HAVE BEEN RUNNING OVER BACKWARDS TO GET THIS THING TURNED AROUND AND GET THE INFORMATION WE NEED ON THAT.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUOS REGARDING THE FINANCE PART, JAN IS SITTING BEHIND ME. [LAUGHTER] WE STARTED THE PROCESS
WITH THE NEW BOND, SO NEXT YEAR'S WILL BE MORE DETAILED THAN THIS ONE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS TO ANY OF US. >> FIRST THANK YOU SO I HAVE MUCH FOR PRECINCT FOR US. KATHERINE, I HAVE TO SAY, THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OUR BOARD RETREAT. I KNOW THAT WAS LIKE ALL
THE WAY OUT AND YOU WERE THE STUDENT THAT CAME AND I JUST FIND YOU TO BE VERY CONFIDENT AND VERY -- YOU ARE WILLING TO SPEAK UP. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR YOU. GREAT JOB. AND THEN, I ALSO WANT TO SAY, I AGREE THE
WEBSITE. IT IS PHENOMENAL. CAN CLICK ON THOSE THINGS. THAT WAS REALLY GREAT. SO THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK EVERYONE PUT AROUND THAT. THEN, JUST A QUICK QUESTION. IF YOU GIVE OVERVIEW ON ANY DISCUSSIONSES THAT YOU GUYS HAVE, LET'S SAY, WHEN SOMEBODY SOMETHING MAY COST MORE
OR LESS THAN WHAT WE HAD INITIALLY THOUGHT IT MAY BE, FOR IN TAPS, THE LEGACY CAMPUS WE WERE ABLE TO GET FOR A LOT LESS MONEY THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED FOR. WHAT KIND OF DISCUSSIONS HAPPEN WHEN THOSE THINGS HAPPEN AND OR IF IT COSTS MORE THAN WHAT WE
HAD ANTICIPATED? >> TYPICALLY WHEN THOSE HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY NOW WITH THE NEW REPORTING, WE CAN SEE IT. WE FINANCE OPERATIONS AS FAR AS THE POSITION. NORMALLY, WHAT WE'LL DO
IS, WE'LL ASK THOSE QUESTIONS AND IT IS UP TO STAFF TO TELL US WHY WHAT HAPPENED? WHY WE MADE THE CHANGE? WHAT CAUSED THAT. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO CORRECT IT. THAT TYPE OF THING. STAFF HAS BEEN WILLING IF WE SEE THE CHANGE THEN I WILL BE HONEST.
THANK YOU TO STAFF BOTH OPERATIONAL FINANCE THEY HAVE BEEN TELLING US WHERE THE CHANGES ARE. THAT HELPS WHEN THEY COME IN READY TO EXPLAIN WHY WE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT FROM WHAT WE OR LGLY PUT IN THERE. WE HAVE BEEN WILLING TO INDICATE WHAT THAT CHANGE WAS SO WE CAN TELL THE COME-IF I
SOMEONE ASKS ON THAT. >> GREAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU JOE FOR STEPPING IN ON THIS. I KNOW IT WAS A LOT OF SHUFFLING WHEN JOHN
RETIRED OR RESIGNED SO I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR YOU FOR STEPPING IN AND STEPPING IN STRONG BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAD PUT THIS TOGETHER VIRTUALLY. THERE WAS NOT EVEN OUR MEETING GOT CANCELED THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO OVER THIS SO YOU AND VA MESA CAME AND GOT THIS WITH THE STATS SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING
THAT. THE FIELD LIP THISES ARE BIG THING. WE WILL GET A SESSEN TATION ABOUT THE BOND IN A LITTLE BIT. IT IS REALLY COOL TO SEE WHERE OUR STUDENTS, THE VIEW THEY WILL GET, AND
JUST ALL THE PLANS THAT WE ARE EXPECTING, SO I KNOW THERE IS NOT MUCH TO UPDATE NOW ON THE BOND YET, BUT HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET THE PUBLIC EXCITED TO KEEP GOING TO THESE COMMITTEES. BUT IT IS, IT IS INTERESTING. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> DIRECTOR.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. WE WORKED TOGETHER ON A COUPLE OF THINGS BEFORE I CAME HERE. AGAIN I APPRECIATE YOU STEPPING UP. YOU TALKED ABOUT -- AND I KNEW IT WAS ISSUE THAT MR. FREEMAN HAD ABOUT THE FLOW OF INFORMATION TO YOU.
THAT YOU FEEL THAT HAS IMPROVED RECENTLY. I APROCH APPRECIATE IT A THAT. I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR. DOES THE COMMITTEE FEEL COMFORTABLE IF THERE WERE CONCERNS IN COMMUNICATING THOSE BACK TO THE BOARD THROUGH THE
INFORMATION? I THINK -- ARE HOLDING US ACCOUNTABLE, HONESTLY, THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE PASSED THIS BOND 60-402-34-6789 THERE WERE A LOT OF OTHER SHORES INCLUDING LEARNING THE LAST RECOMMENDATIONS BUT I I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU FEEL LIKE THERE IS NO
IMPEDIMENT TO YOU COMING BACK UP WITH THE INFORMATION AND WITH CONCERNS. MY ANSWER WOULD BE YES. REALLY BECAUSE STAFF AND PASLEY BECAUSE DIRECTOR THOMPSON HAVE BEEN IN
OUR MEETINGS AND IF WE HAVE A CONCERN, THEY KNOW WHAT IT HE, THEN THERE IS A DISCUSSION, THERE ARE MANY, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO FO ABOUT AK TO THE BOARD AND STAY WITH STAFF AND ADJUSTMENT MADE SOS, YEAH, DIRECTOR -- IT WORKS VERY WELL.
THE TWO DIRECTORS UP HERE HAVE MADE THAT VERY SIMPLE AS FAR AS THAT DECISION IS BECAUSE WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION WITH THEM. WRAP DO WE THINK THIS ISSUE OR CONCERN NEEDS TO GO? HAVE WE SOLVED IT? IF IT NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE BOARD THEN THAT TEACISION IS MADE BY THE
TWO BOARD MEMBERS. >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION TODAY. THANK YOU FOR TALKING UP THIS LEADERSHIP TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE. KATHERINE, NICE JOB. I HAVE TO POINT YOU OUT
AS WELL. I AM GRATEFUL FOR IT. YOUR QUESTIONS ARE ALWAYS FANTASTIC. YOU ARE JUST IMPRESSIVE OVERALL. SO VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOU. YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU LEFT AN IMPRESSION ON OTHER DIRECTORS AS WELL
WHICH I AM NOT SURPRISED BY AT ALL. AND I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS ACKNOWLEDGING JOHN FREEMAN. HE TOOK THIS ROLE AND HIS RESPONSIBILITIES VERY SERIOUSLY AND OUR DISTRICT IS BETTER BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE HE PROVIDED. SO THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THOSE
CONTRIBUTIONS. WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW REPORTING THAT WAS ROLLED OUT THAT WAS THE RESPONSE TO LESSONS LEARNED, THE NUMBER FOUR OPTION. I KNOW WHEN IT WAS
PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE, IT WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED. VERY EXCITED COMMITTEE WHEN YOU SHOWED THAT REPORT AND HOW IT WOULD LOOK. AND I KNOW THAT BOTH DIRECTOR AND I BROUGHT IT UP. DO YOU MIND PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL? I WONDER IF THERE IS A WAY WE CAN SHOW THE BOARD WHAT THAT WOULD
LOOK LIKE? >> HI THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. WE CAN BRING IT TO YOU IN A FUTURE MEETING. I THAT I WOULD PROBABLY BE THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THAT. THE NEW REPORTING IS VERY STREAM LIENED AND
SHOWS ORIGINAL INFORMATION. WE WERE VERY CLEAR ON THIS BUDGET OR ON THIS BOND QUESTION. EXACTLY WHERE THAT MONEY WAS GOING TO BE SPENT THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. SO THIS NEW REPORTING SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT WAS GIVEN TO THE COMMUNITY
WHEN THE BOND WAS PASSED THROUGH THE VOTES. AND THEN WE SHOW EXACTLY WHAT WE SPENT BY LINE ITEM FOR THOSE. AND WHAT WE PROJECT THAT TO BE IF WE PROJECT IT TO STAYING ON BUDGET OR NOT. THE COMMITTEE CAN EASILY
SEE WHERE ANY OF THOSE MAY BE AND NOTES OFF TO THE SIDE THAT EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHERE THOSE COME FROM. WE HAVE NOT GOT IN THERE YET. I THINK WE HAVE A VERY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS GOING TO COME TO
THE COMMITTEE WHEN PROJECTS CHANGE OR A SCOPE MIGHT CHANGE OR NUR PROJECTS MAY GET ADDED ALONG THE WAY IF ANY OF THOSE THINGS CHANGE. SO I THINK WE JUST HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ENVELOPES THAT NEEDS TO FLOW THEM AND BACK TO US AND THEN WHAT WE SHOULD BRING TO YOU GUYS FOR THE FINAL APPROVAL.
SO I THINK IT IS WORKING REALLY WELL. ALL STREAM LIENED ON ONE SHEET THEN GOOD SUMMARY UP TOP SO YOU CAN DOP A QUICK LICENSE OR GET INTO DETAILS IF YOU ARE MORE DETAILED ORIENTED. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> I ALSO YOU KNOW, YOU
GUYSES DID A GREAT JOB EXPLAINING HOW GREAT STAFF IS. EXPLAINING WHAT IS HAP PEPPING WITH THE BOND AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS IF THERE IS LAKE, LIKE IF THE EXPENSE WENT UP. THEY ALSO GET AM OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHEN STAFF IS PROACTIVE ON SA SAVING MONEY WHEN THEY ARE ANTICIPATING CHANGES
OR PRICES TO GO UP, SO DO YOU MIND TALKING ABOUT THE BUS? HOW BEING PROACTIVE? >> OH, YEAH. >> YEAH. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT ECONOMY HAS CHANGED QUIT A BIT SINCE WE DEVELOPED THIS BUDGET
PLAN OR THE BOND PLAN. SO IN ANTICIPATION OF TARIFFS THAT MAY BE COMING OUR WAY OR PRICE INCREASES THAT WE ARE HEARING THROUGHOUT OUR COME MUN WITH DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES WE HAVE GREAT PROFESSIONALS ON THE O AND M AND CONSTRUCTION
STAFF THAT ARE IN TUNED TO THAT MARKET SO IN ANTICIPATION OF SOME INCREASED VEHICLE PRICES THAT WE HEARD THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE WAS COMING. WE VERY PROACTIVELY GOT ON THOSE VEHICLE PURCHASES A PURCHASED THEM AHEAD OF TIME AND
SAVING US MONEY IN THE LONG RUN. THERE IS ALSO CONVERSATION AROUND STEAL OR BOILERS OR OF THOSE THINGS THAT MAY BE COMING WITH SIGNIFICANT PRICE INCREASES IN THE FUTURE AND HOW WE CAN START ORDERING THOSE THINGS AHEAD OF TIME BEFORE ANY PRICE INCREASES COME ALONG.
SO IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR? >> THANK YOU. >> AND THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN. >> ALL RIGHT GREAT. THANK YOU VERY, VERY VERY MUCH. >> I BOO LIKE TO MAKE ONE COMMENT. KATHERINE HAS BEEN SO GOOD, WHEN WE RESTRICT TURED THE COMMITTEE
BECAUSE OF THE BOARD DID THE BYLAWS KATHERINE IS A SENIOR AT THUNDER RIDGE. SHE HAS BEEN BUSY. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF HER. SHE HAS BEEN TO 14 DIFFERENT CAMPS THIS SUMMER AND NOW LOOKING FOR A JUANIER STUDENT
ETH WE'RE THE SUPERINTENDENT'S LEADERSHIP GROUP OR NEW PI LAWS WOULD ALLOW US TO DO ANY STUDENT SO WE GOT ANOTHER STUDENT THAT WILL FOLLOW IN BEHIND KATHERINE AND THERE FOR TWO YEARS ALSO SO WE GOT A ROTATION, TWO STUDENTS ON THE COMMITTEE.
WE DO APPRECIATE THEIR INPUT. >> GREAT. >> THANK YOU. >> WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> AWESOME. THANKS FOR YOUR TIMETH. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
TONIGHT. OK WILL BE PLAYING THE ROLE OF COO TONIGHT ALONG WITH JANA HERE. JACKIE IS DOWNTOWN IN
SOME INTENSE NEGOTIATIONS FOR OUR DISTRICT SO SNEEDS TO BE THERE. JANA AND I HAVE DOING HER PRESENTATION. HERE.
507S.
HOLD PLEASING. WE WILL GET RIGHT TO IT.
SORRY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE ARE STILL WORKING WITH THE NEW TOOL. YEAH. WE ARE WORKING ON IT. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR BOND UPDATES. SO AS JOE MENTIONED, WE HAVE ISSUED $270 MILLION
OF THAT $270 MILLION, $55 M THAT $270 MILLION, $55 M ILLION HAS NOW BEEN OBLIGATED. AND WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL OUR BIG FIVE PROJECTS, SO FOR OUR NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, SO THOSE ARE THREE OF THE
BIG FIVE, THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT DEVELOPMENT IS UNDERWAY, SO WE PASSED DESIGN. WE ARE WORKING ON SOME INITIAL PRICING BASED ON THAT DESIGN. NOW WE ARE DOING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, SO THIS IS WHERE THE BIG ARCHITECTURE PLANS ARE BEING DEVELOPED.
WE WILL HAVE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICES THIS FALL, SO WE HAVE GOTTEN PRELIMINARY INFORMATION BUT WE'LL BE PUTTING GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICES IN FRONT OF YOU FOR THE THREE PROJECTS. ALL THREE WILL BREAK GROUND IN JANUARY OF 2026 WITH OPENING IN
AUGUST OF 2024. AND OF COURSE, OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGE AM ON ALL THREE PROJECTS IS ONGOING. I WILL TELL YOU, THAT YOU HEARD JANA TALK A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ABOUT PRICING AND TARIFF, SO
EVERY AREA WE CAN, WE HAVE ORDERED EVERYTHING UPFRONT SO WE CAN LOCK IN PRICING BEFORE THERE IS ANY KIND OF OH TENSION FUTURE IMPACT WITH OUR BIG NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, THAT IS A LOT HARDER TO DO UNTIL WE HAVE ALL OF THOSE CONSTRUCTION DESIGNS, SO WE CANNOT
ORDER STEAL, FOR EXAMPLE, UNTIL THE CONSTRUCTION COUPLES ARE DONE, FOR THAT REASON, WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WILL COST MORE THAN WHAT WE BUDGETED JUST BASED ON INFLATION AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS
FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK IN PRICING RIGHT NOW JUST YET. AS YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS CHART, VERY TRANSPARENTLY, WE ARE SOME BOND PREMIUM THAT WAS RAISED FROM THAT FIRST $270 MILLION ISSUANCE, SO ANY KIND OF
UNEXPECTED COSTS ON THE NEW CONSTRUCTION SIDE, WE WILL BE MORE THAN COVERED BETWEEN CONTINGENCY AND BOND PREMIUM, BUT BEFORE YOU ALL WENT OFF AND SPENT THAT IN YOUR HEAD, I SO I WANTED TO BE SURE TO SAY THAT OUTLOUDER AND TRYING TO BE AS CONSERVATIVE AS WE CAN
BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE WE ARE IN A VOLATILE ECONOMY BASED ON KIND OF WHERE WERE. OK. SO I WILL START WITH ELEMENTARY 50. SO THIS IS THE ELEMENTARY IN THE LYRIC COMMUNITY AND WE HAVE GOT SOME NICE PICTURES. WAS IT LAST WEEKEND OR THE WEEKEND BEFORE, WE
HAD A LOVELY ICE CREAM SOCIAL OUT AT THE SITE. SO LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF YOUNG FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY. SO MANY STROLLERS IN THE SAME PLATES. I WAS AMAZING AND CUTE LITTLE TWINS, I CAN, SO CUTE.
SO FUTURE ELEMENTARY 50 STUDENTS ARE ALREADY GEARING UP. AND THEN THIS JUST ELEMENTARY 50 FROM THE BACK. AND THE MAIN HALLWAY. ELEMENTARY 51 IN THE
STERLING RANCH COMMUNITY. WE HAD A SOCIAL OUT THERE SO WE ARE CONTINUING TO ENGAGE BOTH COME MUNS AND AM THE FAMILIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN WHO PRIL BE THE FUTURE ATENS DEES OF THESE SCHOOLS AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED. STERLING RAMP, WE HAVE SOMETHING IN THE NEWS LETTER EVERY MONTH BECAUSE IT IS, WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE SEEING THE PROGRESS EVEN THOUGH A SHOVEL WON'T GO INTO THE DIRT UNTIL JANUARY OF 26 BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING HAPPENING ON THE SITE DOESN'T MEAN THERE IS NOT A LOT OF FRANTIC CONSTRUCTION DRAWERRING HAPPENING SOG WE ARE CONTINUING TO KEEP THE
COMMUNITY ENGAGED IN THAT SENSE. HERE'S THE REAR END TRANS AND THE MAIN HALLWAY FOR ELEMENTARY 51. AND THEN REALLY EX FIGHTED ABOUT THE CHANGES EXCITED ABOUT THE CHANGES TO SIERRA MIDDLE SCHOOL THIS ONE ALSO WILL PROBABLY BE
SLIGHTLY OVERRUN. AGAIN, IT ICY ERA IN PARTICULAR WHERE THERE WERE A LOT, SOME UNEXPECTED COST BECAUSE SIERRA IS A VERY, VERY OLD BUILDING, ONCE YOU START TO PULL THAT APPAR, DIG INTO DETAILS, THEY GET EXPENSIVE. THIS IS THE FRONT
ENTRANCE OF SIERRA, NOTICE THE BRANDING AM WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. GETTING THEND BRAKING ON ALL THE SCHOOLS AND THE ADDITION IN THE BACK. HERE IS A WILLING BIT OF THE NEW LAYOUT OF THE
ADDITION. OK, THEN THE OTHER BIG PROJECTS, WE HAVE OUR CTE ADDITIONS. SO IF YOU RECALL, WE ARE ADDING AUTOMOTIVE TO HIGHLANDS RANCH HIGH SCHOOL WHICH IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF I-25. WE ALREADY HAVE AUTOMOTIVE ON THE EAST
SIDE OF I-25. AND THAT CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS ARE UNDERWAY FOR HIGHLANDS RANCH HIGH SCHOOL AND DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL WHERE WE ARE ADDING COSMETOLOGY SO NOW WE HAVE COSMETOLOGY OFFERING AS WELL ON BOTH SEE YOUS OF I-25 AND THOSE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM
PRICES WILL BE AVAILABLE THIS FALL AND THOSE ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. WITH GROUNDBREAKING IN 26 AND THE OPENING IN AUGUST OF 2026. THE ADDITIONS TO LEGACY CAMPUS, SAME KIND OF STRICTURE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT DEVELOPMENT IS
UNDERWAY. WE WILL HAVE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE IN THE FALL, GROUNDBREAKING IN OCTOBER OF 2025 SO THAT IS EVEN A LITTLE BIT EARLIER AND THE SCHOOL WILL OPEN FOR OUR STUDENTS IN AUGUST OF 2026. THESE ARE BOTH VERY
AMBITIOUS. SO I AM PROUD OF THE TEAM FOR HITTING THINK GROUND RUNNING SO WE CAN GET THESE CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS OPEN FOR THE KIDS STARTING NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. AND SO HERE IS SOME PICTURES OF THE LEGACY CAMPUS. SOUTH AND EAST FACADE AS
WELL AS HIGHLANDS RANCH AUTOMOTIVE CTE PROGRAMMING AND WHERE THAT WILL FIT IN. YOU CAN SEE THE CLASSROOM LAY WUT FOR HIGHLANDS RANCH HIGH SCHOOL AUTOMOTIVE. THEN, THE COSMETOLOGY AT DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL, WE JUST HAD A
FAMILY INQUIRE ABOUT COSMETOLOGY. I WANT TO SAY A WEEK AGO AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY COULD GET IN AND I WAS INFORMEDDED THAT OUR WAIT LIST ON COSMETOLOGY IS ALMOST 200 STUDENTS SO THIS IS, THIS WILL BE FULL IMMEDIATELY WITH THE WAIT LIST.
HERE IS THE LAYOUT FOR THE COSMETOLOGY PROGRAM AT DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL. OK. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR TIMEFRAMES. SO IN THE HIGHLANDS RANCH COMMUNITY, OUR CIP PACKAGES WERE WRONG UP
INTO TWO PACKAGE A AND PACKAGE B. PACKAGE AIS A LOT OF THE MORE URGENT THINGS IN. THE THINGS WE CAN DO MORE EASILY AND MORE QUICKLY. PACKAGE B IS SOME OF THE BIG E BIGGER PROJECTS THAT WILL TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO DO DUE TO HAIL OF ARCHITECTS INVOLVED
AND HAVING MORE OF A RUNWAY NEEDED FORGETTING PER MYTHING ET CETERA. SO HIGHLANDS RANCH PACKAGE B, A, EXCUSE ME, WILL BE DONE BY 2024. B,S THAT THE MORE IMMEDIATE PACKAGE WILL BE DONE BY 2027 OR IN
THE 2027 YEAR AND LOOK-WISE WITH PARKER, CASTLE ROCK BE A THE CHARTER SCHOOLS. OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE STARTING A LITTLE BIT LATER BECAUSE THEIR NEEDS, OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS TEND TO BE NEWER BUILDINGS SO THEIR NEEDS WERE NOT QUITE AS URGENT
SO WE LISTED URGENCY BECAUSE WE CANNOT HIT ALL 93 SCHOOLS ALL AT ONCE. SO THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL 2026 DURE THO THE DIFFERENCE IN URGENCY. OUR GROWTH AND DECLINE MODIFICATIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DESIGNED. SO THAT IS THE
MODIFICATIONS SO THE BUILDINGS THAT ARE BEING CONSOLIDATED INTO. WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER IN THOSE BUILDINGS FOR OUR KIDS AND FOR THOSE NEWLY PAIRED COMMUNITIES SO THOSE MODIFICATIONS WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN OVER THE THE COURSE OF THIS SCHOOL
YEAR SO WE CAN OPEN IN AUGUST OF 2026 WITH YOU KNOW, A BRAND MU RIBBON ON A NEWLY REFRESHED BUILDING THAT HASES A NEW NAME AND A NEW IDENTITY AND A NEW COMMUNITY. THE SAFETY AND SECURITY UPGRADES HAVE ALREADY BEGUN. WE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL
2024F. OUR I.T. REFRESH HAS BEGUN. YOU HEARD A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ABOUT VEHICLE REPLACEMENT. WE'LL GO INTO THAT IN DETAIL IN A MINUTE THEN THE SPECIAL EDUCATION ENHANCEMENTS, THE PART IS UNDERWAY. AND WE ARE JUST, WE WILL BE STARTING THOSE IN
2026. AND THEN, OUR 24-25 THE REST OF THE BOND WORK THE CAPITAL RENEWAL AND REPLACEMENT WE WERE ABLE TO DO SO MUCH OF THAT IN THE 24-25 SCHOOL YEAR SO AGAIN, I AM GRATEFUL TO OUR TEAM FOR ARTICLE THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE TO BE ABLE TO TRULY HIT THE
GROUND RUNNING. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL VIS OF VISITS I MEET. I KNOW EVERYONE ELSE DID TOO WHERE THE PRINCIPALS WERE OVER THE MOON THEY HAVE GOTTEN THE NEW CARPET OR THE NEW PLAY GROUPED OR WHATEVER IT WAS THAT WAS PART OF THE
REGNAWAL AMAZING WHAT NEW CARPET DOES FOR A SCHOOL AND FOR THE WAY THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE SCHOOL FEEL ABOUT THEIR SCHOOL. REALLY GREAT THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING ALL SUMMER. AND SO, A LOT OF THAT, A LOT OF THE LED UPGRADES HAVE BEEN DONE AND A LOT
OF PROJECTS HAVE BEEN DONE. WE WERE DOING NEW INTERCOMS IN EVERY BUILDING SOS THAT HE ONGOING WORK, FLOORING, I WENT TO REDSTONE ELEMENTARY HAD NEW CARPET BUT NEW VINYL FLOORING THAT LOOKED LIKE A WOOD FLOOR AND
MODERNIZES AND WARMS UP HE SPACE SO MUCH. THE TRACK AND TURF REPLACES HAVE HAPPEN ODD SO THE KIDS CAN THUSE RIGHT AWAY. THEATER SOUND LIGHTING AND EQUIPMENT UPGRADES THAT IS COMING IN SO WE ARE GETTING THAT DONE. BUS AND VEHICLE REPLACEMENT SO WE HAVE 35 GENERAL BUSES, 31
SPECIAL EDUCATION BUSES, AND 17 FREET SUPPORT VEHICLES ALL WITH PRICING LOCKED UNON ORDER EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON THIS FALL. SO SAFETY AND SECURITY UPGRADES ARE WELL UNDERWAY. I MENTIONED THE GROWTH AND DECLINE FACILITY
MODIFICATIONS AND THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REFRESH. AND BEFORE GOY TO QUESTION, I DO WANT TO INTROUS A NEW TEAM MEMBER TO ALL OF YOU. MARK IS HERE. COME ON UP AND SAY HELLO. WE HAVE TO SPRUCE DOO MARK'S SERVICE DOG WHO I THINK I AM LITTLE BIT IN
LOVE WITH. MARK IS OUR NEW BOND DIRECTOR SINCE JACKIE HAS STEPPEDDED INTO THE POSITION OF CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER. AND HIS ASSISTANT TOBY WILL BE MAKING SURE. I LOVE THIS DOG. WILL BE MAKING SURE THAT OUR BOND DOLLARS CONTINUE TO GET SPENT
WISELY. QUICKLY. AND IN SERVICE OF OUR STUDENTS AND CONSISTENT WITH THE TAXPAYERS. SO WELCOME MARK. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. TODAY. THANKS. >> ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, I WILL WELCOME ANY QUESTIONS AND I GOT JANA UP HERE TO HELP COVER.
>> I HAD ONE QUESTION ABOUT YOU HAD SAID WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO GO OVER BUDGET ON A COUPLE OF OUR PROJECTS SO THE QUESTION I HAVE WHERE ARE WE PULLING THAT MONEY FROM? WHAT IS MOLTING IF TO GET DONE BECAUSE OF THAT? YEAH. THANK FOR ASKING THAT
QUESTION. SO WE HAVE CONTINGENCY IN A WILL LET YOU. GO FOR IT. >> WE HAVE TWO THINGS THAT WILL HELP US OUT. WE HAVE PREVIAM WE ARE WERE ABLE TO SELL THE BONDS FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE OF THE MARQUETTE WE SOLD IT IN BECAUSE OF THE GOOD RATES WITH THE RATING
AGENCIES AND THEN SECOND HI, WE QUICKLY INVESTED THAT MONEY WITH INVESTMENT ADVISER WHO GOT US IN SOME LONGER TERM INVESTMENTS TO MATCH WITH THAT CASH PLO, THE SPEND WE ARE PREDICTED TO HAVE THEN BRING IN ANOTHER $15 MILLION FOR
US THROUGH THE INVEST PROGRAM SO WITH BOTH OF THOSE, WE ARE ABLE TO COVER THOSE OVERAGES RIGHT NOW WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING HAVING TO CUT ANYTHING. IT IS JUST WE WON'TP ABLE TO ADD ANYTHING NEW WITH THE ADDITIONAL MONEY COMING IN AT THIS TIME. >> GREAT THANK YOU.
DIRECTOR. >> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WAS ALSO IN SOME SCHOOLS THAT GOT A REFRESH. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT WE PASSED THE BOND WITH THE 660%. THAT MOONS THAT TOES NOT HOWEVER MEAN WE COULD
IGNORE THE FACT THAT 40% OF THE PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICT HAD SOME CONCERNS. SOME PEOPLE WERE ADAMANT ABOUT IT INCLUDING ONE OF THE COME MENNORS TONIGHT. I THINK CONTINUING TO SHOW THE RESPONSIBILITY
BUT I ALSO THINK SHOWING CURRENT PROGRESS IS IMPORTANT I CAN TELL YOU THAT PARENTS AND REFRESH SCHOOLS IT IS ASTONISHING TO ME WHAT CORPORATION OPERATE DOES WHEN NEW PAINT DOES. HOW MUCH HOW IT SCHOOL
LOOKS. MORE IMPORTANTLY TALKED TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WITH SO HAPPY WITH THE NEW INTERCOM SYSTEMS WHICH MAKE THEM FEEL MUCH SAFER. MUCH MORE IN CONTROL OF THEIR BUILDINGS. THAT KIND OF THING. THEN I THINK AS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST, THIS IS NOT OUR
LAST BOND. I THINK BY SPENDING THIS ONE WELL INVISIBLE AND INVISIBLE WAYS WE DOZ A GOOD JOB, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATES. I APPRECIATE IT. I AM LOOKING FOR A LITTLE SHOVEL AND HARD HAT IN JANUARY. AM SORRY SOME OF THE COLLEAGUES WILL NOT BE
THERE AS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD BUT CERTAINLY INVITED. TO BE THERE TO HELP US DO THAT. I WILL ASK, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT TO DELAY ANY MAJOR RENOVATIONS?
I KNOW THAT OTHER DISTRICTS HAVE SUFFERED SOME SITUATIONS WHERE THEY ARE PUSHING STUFF OFF ANOTHER YEAR. DO WE HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT IN TERPS OF THE MAJOR PROJECTS? >> WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS AT THIS TIME. EVERYTHING IS RUNNING AS WE EXPECTED ON SCHEDULE.
NOW, YOU KNOW? I DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL SO THINGS COULD HAPPEN A BAD WINTER, THERE IS DEFINITELY AOUT OF POSSIBILITIES BUT WE BELIEVE WE HAVE BUILDIN ENOUGH COMMON SENSE CONVINCE GENESEE TIME WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THE SCHEDULES SO IT IS
NOT A CONCERN WE HAVE AT THIS TIME. IT IS SOMETHING WE WILL RAISE. DIRECTOR. >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. TO ADD TON WHAT HE MENTIONED? AM OUR STUDENTS ARE DEFINITELY VERY AWARE OF
THEIR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT AND WE SAW THAT IN THE STUDENT SURVEY. THEY WERE OUR HARSHEST CRITSICS WHEN WE ASKED IF THE SCHOOL IS CLEAN, SAFE, WELL MAINTAINED SO THEY NOTICE IT 234-6789 WE KNOW IT IMPACTS LEARNING. WE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS IN THE PAST WHEN WE WERE DECIDING TO PUT THE BOND
INITIATIVE ON THE BALLOT AND SO JUST WANTED TO CIRCLE BACK TO THAT. DO YOU MIND SPEAKING A LITTLE BIT THE PROCESS BEHIND THE BUILDING BEA SIGNS? DESIGNS. SURE. I WOULD BE THATP PI TO SPEAK TO THAT. ACTUALLY I WILL HAVE
ASSIST AND SUPERINTENDENT WINDSOR AND DEPUTY IF SHE WANTS TO POP IN AT ALL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THAT PROCESS HAS LOOKED LIKE. >> THTHANK YOU VERY FOR THE QUESTION. I ITS HAS BEEN A PROCESS. IT HAS BEEN A PROCESS.
WE HAD A CHANCE TO WORK WITH ARCHITECTS AS WELL AS BRING IN REPRESENTATIVE DEPS THROUGH THE DISTRICT TO GIVE FEEDBACK. WE STARTED THAT PROCESS VERY EARLY ON AROUND DEVELOPING THE DESIGN GROUPS TO BE A PART OF THAT. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HIRE THOSE PRINCIPALS ON EARLY ENOUGH SO OUR
PRINCIPALS HAVE HAD ACTIVE CONFERENCES BUT WE HAVE SPECIALIZED MEETING WE HAVE BUILD FOR THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE SENSE OF BUILDING THESE BUILDINGS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SUSTAINING THOSE STANDARDS AS WE MOVE FORWARD SO WE TALK ABOUT FUTURE BONDS WE HAVE THOSE TECHNICAL SPECKS WE ARE SPENDING SOME
TIME IN BUT WE ARE REACHED OUT TOT LIBRARY SHALL TO NUTRITION TO SCHOOL LEADERS AND THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON AND THE NUMBER OF FOLKS BUILD INTO THAT PROCESS FOR US AS WELL. WE ALSO HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO VISIT A NUMBER OF SITES THROUGHOUT THE STATE. DIE SIGNS IN CERTAIN AREAS TO GET FEEDBACK ON FUNCTIONALITY, SAFETY ET CETERA. JUST TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT THE LENS.
>> WAY. ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT WINSOR SPOKE TO THAT VERY WELL. WE HAVE SPENT HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS OF TIME THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESSES AND EACH OF THESE MAJOR PROJECTS AND IT HAS BEEN A HUGE COLLABORATIVE
EFFORT TO GET THE DESIGNS THAT YOU JUST SAW SNIPPET ON THIS EVENING BUT IT IS DECHLY INCLUSIVE PROCESS IN TERMS OF INVOLVING EVERY DEPARTMENT MR. WINSOR HAD MENSED AS WELL AS OTHERS HE DID NOT
MENTION SO WE ARE EXCITEDDED ABOUT WHERE WE ARE AT THIS STAGE AND HOW THE PROGRAMMING IS GOING TO BE FORTH ALL OF THE NEEDS OF YOU ARE STUDENTS. SO THANK YOU. ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN
APPARENT TO ME TO MBOC WE GOT TO SEE THE BLUEPRINTS AND SOME OF THE IDEAS BEHIND THE DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE. SO THESE BUILDINGS ARE I AGREE REALLY FUNCTIONAL, THOUGHTFUL, WHEN IT COMES TO HOW LIGHTING WORKS. HOW THE APPEARANCES WHEN YOU FIRST WALK THAT THE BUILDING,WHO THE
ACCESSES TO THE LIBRARY, THE PURPOSEFUL OPEN SPACE, SO, IT IS REALLY AMAZING AND UNIQUE AND I KNOW THAT COULD BE A WHOLE HOUR PRESENTATION ON ITSELF. OR BY ITSELF. BUT YEAH. SO THANK YOU FOR BUILDING ON THAT. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THE PUBLIC GOT TO HEAR THAT. THEN, THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD, ARE WE ABLE TO ADJUST OR THERE IS A NEED TO ADJUST BASED OFF UPDATED ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS FOR THE NEW SCHOOLS? THANK FOR THAT QUESTION.
THERE IS NOT A NEED TO ADJUST NOW BASED ON OUR PROJECTIONS AND WE WON'T. WE WILL CONTINUE. IN OTHER WORDS WE ARE NOT GOING TO SUDDENLY REDESIGN THEM THE SIZES ARE SET. THEY WILL HOLD ABOUT 700 TO 750 STUDENTS.
AND AGAIN, IF WE COULD GO BACK IN THE WAY BACK MACHINE FOR A LOT OF OUR EXISTING AREAS HAD WE HAD SCHOOLS THAT WERE DESIGNED FOR ABOUT 7 TO 507 STUDENTS WE WOULD HAVE FEWER OF THEM AND EVEN WITH THEICALLY
DECLINING ENROLLMENT THEY WOULD BE SELF-SUFFICIENT THOUGH. SO WE ARE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT LOOKING AT KIND OF WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED FROM 30 YEARS AS DOUGLAS COUNTY AND BUILDING SCHOOLS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY TO BE AS EFFICIENT AS WE CAN WITH THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS ON THE COMMENT ABOUT THE
SCHOOLS HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS E ARE IN OPEN SPATIAL. I DO WANT THE TAXPAYERS TO KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO BE INCREDIBLE. THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL SPACES IN THEM AND THEY ARE BOTH TWO STORIES SO MORE EFFICIENT DESIGNED IN TERMS OF THE BATHROOMS AND DIFFERENT
CON POE NENS THEY COST A LOT LESS BEING A TWO STORY STRUCTURE THAN THEY WOULD IF WE NEEDED A ONE FLOOR SPRAWLING STRUCTURE SO WE REALLY BALANCED THE NEEDS OF THE TAX I PAYERS AND BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS WITH HAVING BEAUTIFUL
SPACES FOR OUR STUDENTS. >> THEN, UM, I THINK MOST HOMEOWNERS KNOW, THAT WHENEVER YOU DO RENOVATIONS AND YOU TAKE OFF THAT FIRST LAIRIER, THAT YOU IDENTIFY, YOU KNOW, NEW COSTS AND NEW
NEEDS. HAVE WE IDENTIFIED NEW LARGE CAPITAL NEEDS THROUGH THE UPDATES SO FAR? >> WE HAVE IDENTIFIED SOME NEW NEEDS THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ALREADY AS I MENTIONED SY REAR FALLS IN THE CATEGORY OF YOU PEEL AWAY THE FIRST LAYER AND YOU SEE A FEW THINGS. SO THERE ARE A FEW CASES WHERE SOME OF THE SCOPE
IS INCREASING A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PARKING LOT. WE DO NEED TO TAKE QAIR OF VARIOUSNG THISES THAT MAYBE WE WERE NOT EXPECTING TO ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT A SATELLITE IMAGE OF SY REAR MIDDLE SCHOOL CANNOT LOOK AT THAT WITHOUT KNOWING THE PARKING LOT HAS TO BE
BLOWN UP. SO THERE ARE SHALL NU BLOW KNOW VARIOUS THINGS IDENTIFIED THAT WE ARE TRYING TO ADD IN AS MUCH AS WE CAN WITH THE EXISTING DOLLARS. WE ARE TRYING TO BE THOUGHTFUL. SOME OF THE MASSER CAPITAL PLAN THE WAY IT HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS
SCHOOL IS DUE FOR ONE QUARTER OF THE CARPET TO BE REPLACED. WELL, LIKE, IF WE ARE REPLACING THE CARPET LET'S REPLACE THE CARPET INSTEAD OF PAYING TO COME IN AND REPLACE THE NEXT QUARTER AND THE TWO YEARS TO REPLACE THE NEXT QUARTER SO WE TRIED TO FIX SOME OF THOSE
TIMING DESPAIRS SO THEN AGAIN, WE CAN BE AS EVIDENCE AS POSSIBLE WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS. LASTLY, WE HAVE LEARNED A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE WILL NEED TO PUT INTO THE MASTER CAPITAL PLANS FOR OUR SCHOOLS MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE WE DO STILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS.
I KNOW THE BOND WAS A VERY BIG BOND FOR DOUGLAS COUNTY ABOUT BUT WITH THE OVER 100 BUILDINGS WITH RERESPONSE FOR. THE NEEDS HAVE PILED UP OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY SO WE ARE TRYING TO GO THROUGH THOSE AS QUICKLY
AS WE CAN. >> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK COO FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT ON TO FAMILY, STAFF AND STUDENT SURVEY FOR 15 MINUTE PRESENTATION AND A 10 MINUTE Q&A.
>> GOOD EVENING THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE RESULTS OF THE SUR SAY FROM THIS LAST BRING. THIS IS A CONVERSATION YOU HAD REQUESTED WE GIVE AN UPDATE AND WE ARE EX XID TO PROVIDE IT TO YOU TONIGHT. WEED A MINISTERED THIS SURVEY WHICH IS ACTUALLY A SERIES OF THREE SURVEYS FOR THREE DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS.
YOU HAVE STUDENTS, YOU HAVE STAFF, YOU HAVE PARENTS. IT WAS ADMINISTERED IN APRIL. WHAT OUR TARGET ZONE WAS. WE WERE UNABLE TO HE IS SCOOT THOSE. SURVEYS DURING THE ALLOT WINDOW. PRIOR TO ACTUALLY ADMINISTERING THESE
SURVEYS, WE SPENT TIME, THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WORKING WITH OUR DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM TO COME UP TO DESIGN THE SURVEY ROOM. WHICH IS NEXT. THE NEXT SLIDE. SO WORKING WITH THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM WORKING WITH PRINCIPALS AND OTHER STAFF MEMBERS, WE DID A PRAIN STORM
ACTIVITY WHERE THEY STARTED BRAINSTORMING DIFFERENT QUESTIONS THEY WANTED TO GATHER INFORMATION FROM ALL THREE STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. SO THERE IS CULTURE CLIMATE, SCHOOL LEADERSHIP, ACADEMICS, LEARNING, PHYSICAL, SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT AND DISTRICT LEADERSHIP. WE ALSO INCORPORATED ONE
THAT IDENTIFIED AND ASKED PARTICIPATES TO RATE THEIR TOP THREE STRENGTH FORCE THE DISTRICT THAT WAS ONE COMPONENT AS A TOP LAIRIER TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT. AND ALL THREE SURVEYS, WE HAD A LITTLE OVER 7800, SO AS WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FORWARD, WE WOULD LIKE TO CREATE
SOME MUSCLE MEMORY WITH THE COMMUNITY TO INCREASE THIS NUMBER. SO THIS FIRST WHERE ARE WE THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT TO GET 7800 IN FUTURE YEARS AS DATA PERSON I WOULD LIKE TO GET MORE AND MORE AND MORE. SO PART OF THE LESSONS LEARNED IS TO LOOK AT HOW DO WE ENGAGE
STAKEHOLDERS EARLIER AND MORE OFTEN SET THE STAGE AND MAKE IT SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE KNOW IT IS COMING. MAKING SOMETHING THAT IS JUST THE PATTERN. THAT THIS SURVEY IS GOING TO BED A MACHINE STIRRED THAT SAME TIME OF YEAR. YOU CAN SEE THE GENERAL BREAKDOWN BETWEEN FAMILY, STUDENT, STAFF,
AND WE HAD ROUGHLY 6 UN00 FAMILIES AND GUARDIANS A LITTLE OVER 3,000 THAT WERE 6-16 AND WE. >> I DIDN'T FEED MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL AS A STARTING POINT FOR THIS SURVEY IN THE FUTURE IDENTIFYING ELEMENTARY AS THE NEXT STEP AND AGAIN, WE WANT TO BE
ABLE TO GET THAT MUSCLE MEMORY THEN WE ALSO HAD A LITTLE OVER 2100 STAFF PARTICIPATE IN THAT SURVEY AS WELL. SOME TOP STRENGTHS ACROSS ALL GROUPS SOME THINGS WE WERE LOOKING AT JUST A BROAD OVERVIEW BASED ON THE DATA THAT CAME IN.
ALL THREE GROUPS GENERALLY HAVE I DENFIED THE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AS SOMETHING THAT WAS HIGHLIGHT. YOU CAN SEE THAT WHEN THEY IDENTIFIED THE THREES ALL THE VARIETY OF CLASSES AND OPTIONS. WHICH AGAIN, IS NOT TOO SURPRISING GIVE IN THE FACT OF US PENZING A LOT
OF TIME AND END IN IF YOU CAN ON PATHWAY WORK AND VERY EXCITE TOED SEE THAT BECAUSE HAVE MORE PATHWAY WORK JUST CONNECTED TO THE LAST PRESENTATION. A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FOR DIFFERENT GROUPS. FAMILIES THE QUALITY OF STAFF WHICH I GOOD TO
SEE. STUDENTS NOTED A SAFE AND SECURE LARNINGERN VINE AMOUNT STAFF CELEBRATED THE QUALITY OF THEIR COLLEAGUES WHICH IS GOOD. IT IS THREE SURVEYS BUT
WE WANTED TO KEEP THE CONSTRUCTS ACROSS ALL THREE SO WE ASKED SIMILAR QUESTIONS ACROSS ALL THREE WEREEVER APPROPRIATE. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SCHOOL SAFETY. YOU CAN SEE THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED ACROSS ALL THREE DIFFERENT GROUPS. SIMILAR CONSTRUCT WHAT WE WORDED THE QUESTIONS A LITTLE BIT KIF REP THE IDEA HERE IS TO BE ABLE
TO SEE, DO WE SEE ANY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT STAKE OLDER GROUPS WITHIN EACH OF THE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS AND WITHIN EACH ONE OF THE DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THAT WOULD BE THE ACADEMICS AND LEARNING.
LOOKING AT ACROSS FAMILY, STAFF, STUDENTS ARE THEIR FRIENDS BETWEEN THE RENESS SOS OR CONSISTENCIES WITHIN THE NEW RESPONSES THIS WITH ONE YOU CAN SEE THAT FAMILIES CAME BACK WITH THE 77 PERCENT OF AN I HAVE A PREVAL AND STUDENTS ARE 71.
THE NEXT ONE IS A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT. AGAIN, THESE ARE SURVEY CONSTRUCTS. MANY OF THEM ARE ASSOCIATED WITH RISK FACTORS AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS SO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A WOL KEMMING ENVIRONMENT THAT PRESENTS SOME THINGS SO
THESE QUESTIONS THAT WERE REALLY BEARED AROUND HOSE. ALSO ALIGNED TO THE OTHERS THAT WE HAVE AT OUR DIGS POSAL LIKE THIS YEAR, WE HAD THOUGH HEALTHY KIDS COLORADO SURVEY AND ASKED SIMILAR CONSTRUCTS THAT CERTAINLY ONE THAT IS BASED ON STUDENTS REALLY
IN DEPTH THAT ASKS A LOT OF QUESTIONS BUT WE WANTED TO GET SOME QUESTIONS IN A I LINEMENT TO THAT TO SEE OVER TIME BECAUSE THAT SURVEY IS DONE EVERY OTHER YEAR. SOME SURVEY NEXT STEPS THAT WE HAVE LOOKING FORWARD WE HAVE DATA
AVAILABLE TO US NOW SO WE STARTED REVIEW THIS SUMMER. WE WILL CONTINUE THAT PROSES SES THROUGH THE FALL AND WORK ARE WORK WITH DIFFERENT STAKE HERE GROUPS IN EXAMINING A ARE AND REVIEWING THAT SURVEY DATA THE DASHBOARD HAS THE ABILITY TO DESEGREGATE
AGAINST DEMO GRAPHICS SO WHEN WE RESPONDERS GOT THERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THEY HAD THE OPTION TO EYE PRESIDENT THINK THE DEMOGRAPHICS SO WITH THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE YOU CAN PO THO THE DASH BOARD TO ACTUALLY FILTER AND LOOK TO SEE DO CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHICS ANSWER
QUESTIONS DIFFERENTLY BASED ON THE QUESTION OR CONSTRUCT SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOK AT TOWARD THIS FALL IS TO LOOK AT REFUNNING THE SURVEY. AND PRETTY AMAZING WHEN WE STARTED THE PROCESS OF SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT WE WANTED TO CREATE A SURVEY FOR THE PARENTS, SAFE AND STUDENTS.
WE QUICKLY RAN INTO HUNDREDS OF QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE WANTED TO ASK. PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED WHETHER IT IS THEIR SCHOOL, THEIR DEPARTMENT OR THEIR OWN INTEREST. SO BEING I AM TO GO BACK AND MAKING SURE WE ARE ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS THAT ARE REPLECTIVE OF THE PLAN IS GOING TO BE
THE NEXT LEVEL OF WORK. SOME OF THE FUTURE WORK IS RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A DASHBOARD THAT ISREAL. WE LOO LIKE TO EXPAND THAT DASH BARD TO DO MORE FILTERING AND YOU OH, LIKE TO FILTER AFAWNS THE SCHOOL OR FILTER AGAINST DIFFERENT THINGS WHICH WOULD LEAD TO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS
BEING ASKED BUT THAT US SOMETHING WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DONE THE MARE FUTURE THEN WE WOULD LIKE TO ADMINISTER AGAIN. IN THE FUTURE. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE THERE IS A LIVE LINK ON HERE. GO TO THE DASHBOARD IF POSSIBLE.
HOPEFULLY YOU ALL HAD A CHANCE TO EXPLORE THIS SPACE. I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO EXPLORE THE SPACE. IT IS REALLY, REALLY INTERESTING TO BE ABLE TO PULL UP THIS SURVEY TO LOOK ACROSS AND I WILL GET IT BACK TO THE SLIDE WHERE IT IS. ALL RIGHT. FLIGHT.
IT IS REALLY, REALLY INTERESTING TO BE ABLE TO FILTER THE INFORMATION AND LOOK AT DIFFERENT DM KNOW GRAPHICS JUST SOME GENERAL MAV IS GOING ON THIS THING. ON THE LEFT SIDE, YOU WILL SEE THERE IS A SPOT
TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTS SO YOU CAN FOR NAVIGATION PURPOSES INSTEAD OF HAVING A LAUNDRY LIST OF QUESTIONS AND HOW I WILL FELL TER THAT AND INTERESTED IN A PACIFIC DOMAIN OR DONE STRUCK YOU CAN QUARTERBACKING RY CLICK ON LIKE CULTURE AND CLIMATE IS A PRIME
EXAMPLE IT WILLOWED A GENERAL DESTRUCTION OF THAT CONSTRUCT AS WELL AS THE RESULTS AND IT WILL BREAK DOWN THE RESULTS BASED ON SCALE SO THAT SCALE WILL BREAK IT DOWN FROM A ONE TO FIVE SO YOU CAN SEE GENERAL AVERAGE ACROSS THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCT THEN WITHIN EACH
QUESTION, WE TRIED AS BIGGEST AS WE COULD ON THE ALIGNMENT OF QUESTIONS TO ASK SIMILAR QUESTIONS. SO THEY ARE ALIGNED HORIZONTALLY SO YOU CAN QUICKLY LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH FAMILIES, STUDENTS AND STAFF ON A SIMILAR QUESTION TYPE. NOT ALL QUESTIONS WE
ASKED EXACTLY THE SAME SO IT DOESN'T ALWAYS LINE UPPER OF COURSELY. AND SOMETIMES IT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE BUT WE TRIED OUR BESTS TO ALIGN THAT DATA
WHEN YOU HOVER, IT GIVES THE RESPONSE RATE SO YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE RESPONDED TO THAT PARTICULAR QUESTION. IT ALSO TELLS YOU HOW MANY IN EACH OF THE DIFFERENT RESPONSE TYPES WHETHER THEY STRONGLY APRE, OR GRE ACOR NEITHER. IT GIVES YOU A TOTAL COUNT. SO YOU ARE FREE TO
NAVIGATE ACROSS DIFFERENT QUESTIONS AND HOVER AND GIVE YOU SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. ALSO, AT THE VERY TOP, THERE IS SOME PILLARS SO IF YOU WANT TO FILTER AGAIN SOME OF THE DEMO GRAPHICS OF QUESTIONS THAT WERE ANSWERED AGAIN, WE DIDN'T REQUIRE THAT RESPONDENTS GIVE
THEIR DEMO GRAPHICS SO THESE ARE JUST DEM ME GRAFICS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO GIVE THEM TO YOU. THEY COULD CHOOSE TO SAY NO I DON'T WANT TO GIVE DEMO GRAPHICS BUT FOR THOSE WHO DID GIVE DEMO GRAPHICS CUE FILL THIS THE QUESTIONS AND WHAT IT DOES, IT WILL ISOLATE FOR THAT RESPONSE AND
WILL TAKE THE DEMO GRAPHICS THEN IT CHANGES HOW THE RESPONSES COME UP AND SO IF HOVER AGAIN AND I IT WILL TELL YOU THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN THAT SPECIFIC DOMAIN ACROSS THAT CONSTRUCT AND SO YOU CAN GET A NUMBER AND ACCOUNT SO
LIKE THIS ONE, THIS ONE IS REFLECTIVE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES YOU CAN SEE THERE IS 370 RESPONSES FO THAT QUESTION? WE ALSO DIDN'T LIMIT RESPONDERS. IF THEY STARTED THIS SURVEY WE TOOK THE DATA.
SO YOU MAY SEE YOU THEY STARTED THE SURVEY, AND DECIDED TO QUIT OR THEY NOT THE ONE QUESTION THEY WANTED TO REPOPPED TO WE CAPTURED THE TATA.
A FEW THINGS OF HOT THERE IS A FEW THINGS WE CAN DIVE INTO AND GET CHANGES TO AN CAN WE GO TO THE OVERVIEW TAB ON THE LEFT?
THIS PROVIDES A SNAPSHOT. YOU CAN SEE. ALSO YOU CAN SEE DEMO GRAPHICS IF THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE THEM. FOR EXAMPLE UNDER RACE, YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A SECTION OF PEOPLE THAT DID NOT PREFER TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION SO THEY WERE CALLING THAT OUT SO
YOU CAN SEE WHICH FOLKS RESPONDED TO THAT INFORMATION. CAN WE GO TO THE TOP THREE? THE LEFT.
SO IT IS REVERSED. IF IT IS A STRENGTH, LIKE A NUMBER ONE STRENGTH THEN THAT NUMBERS THE SMALLEST SO THE NUMBER ON THE TOP REPRESENTS THE HIGHEST STRENGTH FOR THAT UP FROM. BECAUSE YOU WANT NUMBER ONE SO YOU WANT THAT ONE
CLOSER TO THE FIRST SO YOU CAN REALLY SEE HOW MANY RESPONDENTS CHOSE THAT PARTICULAR THING AS BEING THE TOP THING AND THEIR RANK ORDERING SO IT GIVES YOU AM IDEA AND LOOK ACROSS DIFFERENT GROUPS TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE GROUPS THEMSELVES ARE CALLING
OUT THE STRENGTHS. AND JUST AN IDEA OF WHERE FOLKS ARE SEEING AS OUR STRENGTHS. AL GIVES US IDEA UNDER DIFFERENT GROUPS. -THE LAST THING IS THE RATING. THE RATING WAS BASED ON
THEM WANTING TO RECOMMEND OUR DISTRICT. SO IT IS JUST WHAT KIND OF STRENGTH THEY HAVE REGARDING RECOMMENDING OUR DUS TRICK TO OTHERS. 0 TO 10 STARS. 10 STARS SAYING WE WANT TO RECOMMEND OUR DISTRICT AS A PLACE TO
GO TO SCHOOL OR TO WORK. SO YOU CAN SEE, THAT RATING CAME OUT. SO QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION HERE TO BE ABLE TO DIVE INTO AND TO SEGREGATE AND IT WAS GREAT FIRST OPPORTUNITY
TO ENGAGE IN WITH OUR COMMUNITY. THERE IS A LOT OF LESSONED LEARNED FOR US. AND THERE US ALSO THE DATA ITSELF FOR US TO REALLY DIVE INTO. SO I THINK WITH THAT I WILL TAKE A BREATH AND ANY ANY POTENTIAL QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
>> FIRST, THANK YOU TO THE WORK THAT WENT INTO CREATING A WHOLE NEW SURVEY. I HAVE QUESTIONED BECAUSE THE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN STAFF AND STUDENTS IS LARGE TEN PLUS POINTS LET'S SAY. ARE WE ASKING ANY OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS TO
FIGURE OUT WHY THERE IS THAT DISCREPANCY? OR ARE THERE ANY? >> THANK FOR THE QUESTION. THAT IS THE FOLLOW-UP NOW. NOW YOU HAVE THE DATA. WE START DIVING IN TOP SEE IF THERE IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS RAISES QUESTIONS AS TO WHY. THE GREAT THING ABOUT
THIS YEAR, WE HAVE HEALTHY KIDS COLORADO SURVEY COMING OUT THAT WILL GIVE US ANY MORE INSIGHTS ON THE CONSTRUCTS. BUT THAT IS PART OF THE WORK NOW IS TO REALLY DIVE IN TO SAY, WHERE IS THE DELTA AND THE SURVEYS ARE A GREAT FIRST WAY TO YOU WALK IN
THE DOOR OF DATA CONVERSATION. NOW THE QUESTION IS, CAN WE GET MORE INFORMATION BY HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH LEADERS WITH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WITH PARENTS AND FIGURING OUT WHAT IS REALLY AT THE HEART OF DELTA BETWEEN WHAT YOU SEE ON DIFFERENT RESULTS AND THAT IS PART OF OUR
FUTURE WORK. >> SO TO PIGGY BACK ON SLIDE NUMBER SIX WITH THE BIG KISS REP SY AND THE STUDENTS AT 1 PERCENT IN THE SCHOOLS. OF ABC NEWS ONE OF THE
COMMENTERS MENTIONED DO WE HAVE ANY KIND OF TRAINING ON BULLYING OR OUR TREACH TEACHERS GO THROUGH THE ACTUAL SAFETY. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING THAT
ADDRESSES BULLYING OR ISSUES THAT THE KIDS HAVE? >> 100%. SO YOU TOUCHED ON ONE. WHICH IS WE DO HAVE OUR MANDATORY TRAINING THAT WE DO AT POE GINNING OF THE YEAR THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL STAFF BE A SOMETHING THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE.
THAT IS SOMETHING WE MODIFY EVERY YEAR AND MADE ADJUSTS TO THE BULLYING PROCESS SO WE HAVE TO MAKE REVISIONS TO THAT POLICY OR TO REFLECT THAT POLL SHIFT WE ALSO HAVE OTHER TRAINING AVAILABLE. I CAN TURN IT OVER TOLL THE ASSISTANT FOR THAT
ONE. >> THANK YOU SO 7230 ARE THE QUESTION. THIS IS VERY MUCH AS THE POLICY WORK. HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT WE HAVE STANDARDIZED PRACTICE TO ENSURE THAT ALL LEADERS ALL STAFF AND TUTT STUS ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE TRAINING ABC NEWS DISCRIMINATION AND
BULLYING WITHIN THE SCHOOLSES SO WE HAVE ACTUALLY PROVIDED THOSE TRAININGS ALREADY THIS YEAR ON JULY 28th AND AUGUST FIRST THAT WE HAD ALL LEADERS AND THERE IS A SIGNIN COME POE HENT TO THAT AROUND THIS TRAINING THAT IS BROKEN UP TO THREE PARTS WHICH WAS TYING INTO
DISCIPLINE TRAINING AS WELL. THEN SO WE HAVE PROVIED THAT TRAINING AND EACH OF THE LEADER WAS PRESENT TO THE STAFF AND ALL STAFF WOULD HAVE TO FO LEG THE TRAINING AS WELL AND CUSTOMIZE IT AROUND AND COOP THE
INFORMATION LIKE THERE IS LOGO, THE PEOPLE THEY CAN FO TO SPORPORT AND WE ALSO THEN HAVE STAFF PROVIDE THAT ALL STUDENTS WHICH SHOULD BE DONE BY SEPTEMBER 6th SO WE DO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS AND EVERYONE OF THE SCHOOLS EVERYONE OF THE LEADERS GOES THROUGH THIS TO STANDARDIZE THAT TRAINING AROUND ENSURING
THEY KNOW OBVIOUSLY THE LEVEL OF SUPPORTS THEY HAVE AND THE NEW BUILDINGS AND PRETOW CALLS PRACTICES REPORTING STRUCTURES WHERE THEY CAN SHARE THAT INFORMATION SO WE HAVE A CHECKLIST OF THE DATES AND TIMES THIS E HAVE DONE THOSE
TRAININGS A WELL THEN MAKE SURE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OFS OF THE SKA SCHOOLS TEAM THAT VERIFIES THEY HAVE TON THE TRAININGS AS WALZ WITH THE STAFF AND STUDENTS. >> I LIKE TO ADD THE QUESTION ITSELF IS INTERESTING. YOU KNOW? WE WANTED TO KNOW, ARE THEY AWARE IF THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO FOR
BULLYING? AND THE SECTION OF STUDENTS WHO SAY THEY DON'T KNOW, THAT IS REALLY GOOD DATA FOR US IN TERMS OF THAT TRAINING. IT IS NOT JUST YES OR NO BUT THE IN BETWEEN GROUP AND THAT IS GOING TO TRULY IDENTIFY WHEN WE
DO TRAINING THE INCOMES TIME WE DO THIS, ARE WE HAVING IMPACT ON THAT IN BETWEEN GROUP THAT MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW WHERE TO GO. >> DINNER LOOKER MOORE AND DIRECTOR. >> KIND OF ON THE SAME
LINE. HOW DO WE TRAIN THE STUDENTS IN PARTICULAR SEPARATE STAFF ON HOW TO REPORT THAT? I KNOW IT IS IN STUDENT GUIDELINE AND HANDBOOK AND THINGS LIKE THAT
PARENTS REFER TO THAT A LOT MORE THAN THE KIDS DO. HOWEVER, DO YOU DO ANY ING TO REMIND THEM HOW TO REPORT THINGS AND HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE RIGHT? >> THANK FOR THAT QUESTION. I REALLY THINK IT IS BEYOND JUST ONE SIMPLE
MANDATORY TRAINING WHEN IT COMES TO STUDENTS AND BULLYING. YOU KNOW? PART OF OUR RESPONSIBLES IS MAKING IT PART OF THE ITMSS THE MULTI TIERED SYSTEM FOR OF SUPPORT WE HAVE COUNCILORS THAT STAY CONFUSED
UNCLASSROOMS AND PART OF THE TRAINING FOR TEACHERS IS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE REINFORCING THAT SAME TYPE OF PEE I HAVE AIER IN THE CLASSROOMS SO WE ARE NOT POINTING TO ONE SPECIFIC MANDATORY TRAINING FOR STUDENTS BUT LOOKING AT MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MAKE SURE WE ARE COVERING IT.
THEN MAKING SURE IT IS NOT A ONE AND DONE TRAINING THEY ARE GETTING REINFORCED ESPECIALLY FOR PBIS THE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SYSTEMS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT JUST A PUNITIVE BUT ALSO REBARDING STUDENT STU
FORCE THE RIGHT BEHAVIOR. >> I SUSPECT IT IS COMPLICATED ON THE STUDENT SIDE BECAUSE I WILL PREV FACE THIS. I BELIEVE SR'S DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ADMINISTRATION
BE A LEADERSHIP INSIDE OF EACH SCHOOL HAS A HANDS IN THE AND SUSPECT IT IS COMPLICATED BECAUSE IT IS GETTING A RESOLUTION TO AN ISSUE LIKE THIS YOU NO THE CONCEPT OF BULLYING IS BROAD AND COVERS LOTS OF
JURISDICTIONS IN MANY WAYS AND SO THE MAIL IN THE RIGHT MAILBOX LODGE UK OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE AN INCIDENTOR ISSUE LIES AND GET TO IT THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THE RIGHT RESOLUTION CAN OCCUR FROM THE RIGHT
PEOPLE WITH THE RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE RIGS DICTION OR ABILITY TO AFFECT THAT BECAUSE MY SENSE IS THAT NOT EVERYTHING CAN BE HANDLED ABOUT I THE SCHOOL AND I WISH WE COULD SOLVE ALL THINGS
THAT OCCUR OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY BUT I KNOW, THERE IS BLEED RECOVER, SO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HANDLE THAT. I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF EFFORT -- ALO OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE ON THE PART OF MANY DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS IN A SCHOOL, THIS IS A
CONSTANT ONGOING EVOLUTION OF EDSCATION OR EDUCATING EACH UT STUDENT ON THE TYPE OF ISSUES THEY MAY HAVE AND THEN WHERE WE GO FOR THE RIGHT RESOURCE TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM AND IT IS COMPLICATED.
IT IS VERY BIG ISSUE. >> I HAVE BEEN PROWLING THROUGH THIS. I DO HAVE TO ASK ONE QUESTION. WE DID NOT SAY GENDER WHICH THE HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY DOES SO. WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR COME-IF I, I GET THEIR
E-MAILS CLAIMING OVER GIRL IS IS SCARED FOR ONE REASON OR THE OTHER. IT IS THERE A REASON WE CHOSE NOT TO TAKE THAT HEALTHY KIDS SURVEY DOES? I KNOW. THEY ARE SOME DIFFERENCE IN HOW THAT COMES ACROSS. DID WE JUST DECIDE THAT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE DEMO
GRAPHIC TO LOOK AT? >> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. YOU KNOW, I THINK IT IS ADD ON WE CAN ADD THE NEXT TIME BEING ABLE TO ADD DEMO GRAPHICS. AS YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT SURVEY ADMINISTRATION, SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT YOU HAVE IS HOW LONG. HOW MANY QUESTIONS DO
YOU ASK DEMOGRAPHICS ARE ALWAYS ONE THAT IS A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION. WHAT DEMO GRAPHICS ARE ADD MD WHICH ONES ARE NOT? GENDERS IS SOMETHING WE COULD ADD IN THE FUTURE AS WE CONTINUE TO EVOLVE THIS AND GET GREATER AND GREATER INFORMATION FROM OUR STAKEHOLDERS. OK. AGAIN CONSIDERING THERE ARE CONCERNS
EXPRESSED IN OUR PUBLIC ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR GIRLS. SO I UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS HERE. WHAT HOW MANY KIDS DO WE HAVE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL SO I KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE HIGH CYCLE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS RESPONDEDDED?
>> IT IS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. SO WE GOT LESS THAN 10 PERCENT RESPONSE. OK. BY WHICH, I WAS IMPRESSED BY THE STAFF RESPONSE. THAT IS CLOSER TO 25 TO 30% ISN'T IT? >> YES. FIRST OF ALL, THERE IS GOOD AND BAD NEWS ALL OVER THIS. BUT THE STAFF RESPONSES
I THINK WERE EXTRAORDINARY POSITIVE. THE THAT SPEAKS HIGHLY TO THE ADMINISTRATION. ATHOUGH THEY LIKE MORE COMMUNICATION THEY MADE THAT CLEAR. OTHER THAN THAT, I AUTHORITY IT WAS QUITE FOOD. AS YOU LOOK AT THESE RESPONSES FROM THE STUDENTS, IT IS VERY
CLEAR THAT THE MALL NUMBER OF BLACK STUDENTS WHO RESPONDED SEEM TO HAVE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE THAN THE LARGER NUMBER OF WHITE STUDENTS. HOW IS OUR DISTRICT LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENCE IN DEMO GRAPHIC RESPONSE. FOR EXAMPLE. WHITE STUDENTS ARE VERY CONFIDENT IF THEY REPORT
A SAFETY CONCERN THEY TRUST THE SCHOOL OFFICIALS? I THINK THAT IS I AM SORRY, I AM TRIGGERING BACK AND FORTH. I ONLY LIKE 20% PREX THE NEED OF 4% OF THE BLACK STUDENTS DO. THAT IS AN EX AL PEM OF
WAYS THAT IT APPEARS AT LEAST SOME OF THE STUDENTS ARE HAVING A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE THAT INFORMATION. TO HELP MAKE IT EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYBODY BETTER? >> YEAH. THANK YOU AFFIN FOR THAT QUESTION. I THINK IT STARTS WITH THE QUESTION.
RATING. IT STARTS WITH BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT WHEN THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESPONSES LOOKING AND ASKING THE QUESTION OF WHY WAS A DIFFERENCE IN THE PERCEIVED RESPONSES FROM STUDENTS SO THAT IS THE FIRST STEP. THE SECOND STEP IS TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE OTHER RESPONSES IN THERE AND TO REALLY CLEARLY EXAMINE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN THE GROUPS. LAST REAR, AND I DON'T KNOW WE SHARED THIS MORE BROADLY. OUR EQUITY ADVISORY
COUNCIL HAD TAKEN THE PREVENTION OF BULLYING AS THEIR PRIORITY LAST YEAR. WE SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME LAST YEAR EXAMINING DATA BOTH PROGRAMMATIC DATA, STUDENT RESPONSE TATA, SURVEY DATA AND REALLY HAVING THAT CONVERSATION OF SAYING, WHAT ARE SOME WAYS WE
CAN MAKE ALL STUDENTS FEEL WELCOME IN DOUGLAS COUNTY? THEY PUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS TOGETHER AND REALLY THANK YOU TO THAT UP FROM. THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME DOING THAT. THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE UP ON THE WEBSITE. AND SO WE GOT THOSE RECOMMEND DAYSES UNMAY AND THE SAME TIME WE
HAVE THE SURVEY SO NOW THAT WE HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS ALONG WITH DATA THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE OUR CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO MAKE DOUGLAS DANTE WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS? >> AND I DISCUSSED THE
FACT THAT MASSIVE AVERAGES COVER DIFFERENCES. I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, AS I EXPECTED, THAT ALTHOUGH THE AVERAGES A LOOK GOOD, WE ARE LOOKING AT HOTS STUDENTS WHO DO NOT FEEL LIKE THEY ARE THE GETTING THE SAME
EXPERIENCE. I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED. I THINK YOU JUST SAID IT WILL BE. >> YEAH. THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE FILTERS. THE DEMO GRAPHICS. >> DIRECTOR WINEGAR. YEAH. THIS IS A GREAT STARTING POINT FOR A SURVEY. THE DID YOU A GREAT JOB.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE AS TIME GOES ON HOW IT CHANGES AND HOPEFULLY WE GET MORE PARTICIPATION. SO ON THAT POINT, I SORRY IF I MISSED IT IN THE PRESENTATION. HOW ARE THESE ADMINISTERED? WAS IT A THE SCHOOL LEVEL THEY SENT IT OUT? WAS THAT THE THIS IS DICT LEVEL UNTIL DO YOU
THAT I WILL WORK GOING FORWARD? >> WONDERFUL QUESTION. THIS IS A QUESTION THAT WE HAVE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT WITH THE STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP. IT IS HOW TO REACH THEM. SO WE SENT THIS IN BROAD COMMUNICATIONS OUT FROM OUR DISTRICT SOURCES. WE ALSO SHARED THE LENGTHS WITH SCHOOLS FOR
THEM TO BE ABLE TO SHARE WITHIN THE SORSES. WE TALKED TO THE STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP ABOUT THEM SHARING IT THROUGH THE SORSES AND IT IS HOW DO YOU REACH THE GROUP THAT IS STUDENTS. THEY ARE A CHALLENGING GROUP FOR US TO REACH BECAUSE THEY DON'T ALWAYS READ THE E-MAIL SO IT IS TAPPING INTO
SOCIAL MEDIA. IT IS TAPPING INTO THE OTHER SOURCES TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE THIS PARTICIPATION WHICH I THINK AND HOPE OFFUL WE HAVE A CHANCE THIS YEAR. WHAT ARE SOME AVENUES FOR US TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE THAT PARTICIPATION. FROM THAT DEMO GRAPHIC BECAUSE THEY OPERATE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
AND SO, WE ARE OPEN TO DIFFERENT IDEAS FOR THEM. >> WELL, BECAUSE WITH HEALTHY KIDS, IT HAS TAKEN IN CLASS RIGHT? >> IT IS. >> AN IDEA YOU HAD Z IS MAYBE HAVE THE SCHOOLS PUT ITS A A CRAZE? A CLASS SURVEY
INCERTAINLY SOMETHING WE COULD IS CUSS. CLASS TIME IS PRECIOUS. ESPECIALLY AREA. WE WILL BE REQUESTING ADDITIONAL TIME FOR OTHER SURVEYS LIKE THE WITHIN YOU POINTED OUT SO A NOTION WITH THEM TO SEE WHERE WE CAN PUT THIS AND WHERE WOULD BE THE BEST USE OF TIME.
>>> IF WE DO ANY KIND OF IN CLASS SR. I HAVE AS THE PRACS WE WILL MAKE SURE PARENTS ARE ABLE TO SEE THAT SURVEY AND DO AN OPT OUT FOR THE STUDENTS IF THEY SO REQUIRE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION EVER WHERE WE ARE REQUIRING STUDENTS TO SIT AND TALK
A DISTRICT SURVEY. >> SO JUST A QUICK THING. IT WOULD BE MY REQUEST. I DON'T KNOW HOW EVERYONE ELSE FEELS THAT IT IS FULLY OPT IN IF ARER SUSS OPT OUT THIS YEAR. WE CAN HAVE DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT AS THE NEXT BOARD MEETING. THAT IS WHERE I WOULD
LIKE TO GO. >> DIRECTOR MEEK. A THANKS. SO MATT, FIRST OFF, THANK. THIS IS ANNUAL SURVEY THAT I KNOW I HAVE BEEN REALLY AND THOUSANDS SEE FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS NOW. AND SO I AM VERY EXCITED
THAT WE CAN HAVE BASELINE DATA AT LEAST RIGHT NOW MOVING FORWARD. TO HELP SUPPORT OUR WORK AS A BOARD ENSURING THAT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A LOOK AT THE SYSTEM AND HOW THINGS ARE GOING.
SO SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS FOR THE STUDENT RESPONSES, WHERE WOULD YOU SAY THAT FAMES. OPERATE QUESTION. ARE YOU ASKING FOR THE ANALYTICS OF WHETHER OR
NOT IT IS REPRESENTED OF OUR SAMPLE OR A POPULATION? >> YEAH. YES. YES. >> SO THAT. IT'S THE HE CHALLENGE WITH ADMINISTERING A SURVEY WHERE WE DON'T HAVE IT LOCKED DOWN TO
PA SICK DEMO GRAPHIC GROUPS BASED ON RESPONSES SO PART OF THE WORK MOVING FORWARD IS TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE RESPONSE RATE THE GOOD NEWS WE HAVE CONSULTANT DO THE WORK WITH THAT WOULD BE IN GAGING IN THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT THE DATA AND HOW
REPRESENTATIVE IT IS OF OUR POPULATION. >> OK. GOOD DEAL. >> IN YOUR PRESENTATION, YOU MENT MENTIONED THERE WAS REASON THAT THERE WERE PARALLEL QUESTIONS ACROSS THE THREE DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS.
IT HELPS IDENTIFY DIFFERENCES THAT MAY SHOW SO WHAT DID YOU IDENTIFY AS DIF DIFFERENCES? OR WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LOOK INTO FURTHER BASED ON THE SURVEY RESULTS THAT YOU SAW?
>> GREAT QUESTION. THERE IS A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WOULD LAKE TO DIVE INTO. FIRST IS, YOU KNOW, WITH THIS BEING ADMINISTERED AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN WITH THE LEADERS AND EXAM PIN IT. WE JUST STARTED THAT PROCESS OF BEING ABLE TO HELP THEM UNPACK THE
DATA THAT IS A CRITICAL KIND OF NEXT STEP FOR US. SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD LOVE TO GET INTO. AND THEN WHERE WE DO SEE AND WE START BIG PICTURE YOU KNOW LOOK AT THE OVERALL WHERE WE SEE ON THE SCREEN, LOOKING AT
LARGE SCALE DATA SETS TO SAY IS THIS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER DATA SETS WE HAVE? ARE WE SEEING PATTERNS BETWEEN A RESPONSE LIKE THIS QUESTION HERE WHERE YOU FEEL SAFE AND COMPARE THAT TO LACKING AT PREVIOUS ADMIN CENTERSES OF HEALTHY KIDS IS THAT SIMILAR OR DIFFERENT BETWEEN THOSE?
SO REALLY IT IS MORE ABOUT ASKING QUESTIONS THEN HAVING DEFINITIVE ANSWERS AT THIS POINT? >> SO YOU MENTIONED THERE WERE LOTS OF LESSONS LEARNED? CAN YOU SHARE THE TOP LESSONS LEARNED AT THIS POINT? >> ABSOLUTELY.
THERE IS NO SHORTAGE. I THINK ONE OF THE LESSONS LEARNED IS THE SURVEY ITSELF IS WHEN TO ADMINISTER. HOW TO SET THAT SURVEY UP FOR SUCCESS. WE KNOW THIS SURVEY WAS ADMINISTERED ON THE HEELS OF THE
CONVERSATION ABOUT SCHOOLS. WE KNOW THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS HAPPENING AT THAT TIME. SO WE KNOW WE WERE ENGAGED IN MANY CONVERSATIONS REGARDING THAT. WE KNOW IT IS HAPPENS PENNING AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE STATE TESTING GOING AND NO GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO
ADMINISTER THIS TEST. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE CLIENTELE, THE SENIORS AND JUNIORS ARE TAKING AP TESTING AT THAT SAME TIME. SO I THINK WE HAVE SOME CONTINUAL CONFERENCES ABOUT WHEN BEST TO ADMINISTER IT. THAT IS ONE THING. THE OTHER THING IS HOW
WE COMMUNICATE WITH THE SURVEY IS SOMETHING FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A ANOTHER STAB IT A. NOW THAT PEOPLE SEE THE RESULTS, USUALLY, WHEN PEOPLE SEE THE RESULTS, THEY SEE YOU DOING SOMETHING WITH THE DATA. THEY ARE MORE APT TO RESPOND THIS THE NEXT TIME SO THAT IS ANOTHER EVOLUTION OF THIS
CONVERSATION TO SEE WHERE THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES DIRECTOR HIT REALLY WELL. WE WERE REALLY, REALLY HAPPY WITH THE STAFF RESPONSE. 6:00 GIVEN THE NUMBER OF RESPONSES THERE. SO THAT HE IS SOMETHING TO CONTINUE TO BUILD OFF OF IT IN THE. BUT HOW DO WE REACH PARENTS IN A MORE
STRATEGIC MANNER? >> SO LAST QUESTION. I THINK AT THIS POINT HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HOW DO YOU USE THE STUDENTED A ADVISORY GROUP TO HELP DIG INTO SOME OF THE DISCREPANCIES THAT MAYBE WE SAW BETWEEN PARENT RESPONSES AND STUDENT
RESPONSES? ALSO, TO HELP WITH EYE PRESIDENTFYING WHATS THIS HE BEST TIMING OR BEST MELT ODD TO GET TUTTSS TO ENGAGE IN IN AND PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK? HOW CAN WE BEST WORK
WITH THE TELL STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP TO MOVE THIS FORWARD? >> WONDERFUL QUESTION. YES TO ALL OF THOSE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP TO GET MORE ENGAGEMENT FROM THAT GROUP ON ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS FROM SURVEY ADMINISTRATION TO HELPING US UNDERSTAND
THE DATA AND SOME POTENTIAL NEXT STEPS THEY SEE MIGHT BE THE RESULT OF THIS DATA BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
>> THANK FOUR OF THE PRESENT TATION. I TOOK A LOT OF KNOW ARE NOTES. I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. I APPRECIATE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION THERE IS A DIRECT LINK TO THE DASHBOARD AND I SEE THAT IT LIVESNDER THE SECTION OF WHY DCSD ON THE WEBSITE 234789 I KNOW
THE LINK WAS SHARED OUT. AIN'T IS AVAILABLE NOW THROUGH THIS IF I WERE TO GO TO THE YDCSD PAGE I DON'T SEE A DIRECT LINKING TO THE SURVEY SO YOU CAN ONLY FIND IT IF
YOU LOOK UNDER SEARCH. >> I THINK IT IS GREAT. YOU TURNED THAT AROUND TO START SHOWING THE DATA VERY QUICKLY AND SO I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO ADDITIONAL FILTERS YOU
THAT YOU MENTIONED BY SCHOOLS. I WOULD ADVOCATE BY GRADE. OR AT LEAST MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL SO I THINK WE FIND INTERESTING KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NIDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL. WE KNOW IT PEAKS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL SO I WOULD
EXPECT THOSE NUMBERS TO BE DIFFERENT FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS. THAT WOULD BE NICE. THEN PARENTSES THAT RESPONDED TO THE SURVEY COULD HAVE STUDENTS UNANY GRADE SO I THINK THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, TOO, TO SEE WHO IS RESPONDING TO THE SURVEY, WHAT GRADE LEVELS, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN INTHEN MAY EXPLAIN
THE DISCREPANCIES WE SEE. I AM NOT SURE IF WE COLLECTED GRADES. I CAN'T REMEMBER. I DID THE SURVEY I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW LONG AGO OR THAT LONG AGO IT WAS IN
IT. HE SAME THING FOR THE SERVICES THE PARENTS SAYS THEIR STUDENT RECEIVED SERVICES COULD BE IN PRIESTING FILLER SO I WILL THROW THOSE OUT. I THINK IT WAS HELPFUL TO HEAR TODAY ABOUT HOW THIS SURVEY QUESTIONS
WERE DEVELOPED KING PROTECTIVE FACTORS AND THE WAY THE DASHBOARD IS SET UP WHERE YOU SEE THAT OVERALL SCORE AND THEN THE WAY THE QUESTIONS ALIGN UNDERNEATH IT. IT IS EASY TO RED AND NOT OVERWHELMING TO LOOK AT THAT PAGE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE LOOKING A TON OF
QUESTIONS IN THAT SMALL AMOUNT OF SPACE. THE SETUP IS REALLY GREAT AND VERY READABLE. SO KUDO FOR WHOEVER DESIGNED THAT. THEN, JUST A QUICK NOTE,
THE PAGE THAT SHOWS THE RATINGS BY THE DIFFERENT GROUPS AND STAFF, HE IS FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S THE STRENGTH OF THE WALLTIVE THE STAFF IS THE TOP ONE BUT FUNNY STANDING BY ITSELF WHEN WE ARE I THISSING ABOUT IT. IT REFLECTS THE CONFIDENCE THAT STAFF
HAVE IN EACH OTHER AND THAT PEAKS VOLUMES TO THE CULTURE OF STAFF AS WELL AND THE POINT DIRECTOR MIKE BROUGHT PUP EARLIER. I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AS WELL 6789 THAT WAS A NICE NUMBER TO SEE. YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT
IT US IMPORTANT TO SHOW THE DATA MALTERS IN. SO PEOPLE WILL BE MORE LOOKLY TO DO THE SURVEY ONCE THEY HAVE SEEN RESULTS THEN SEEN IT ACTUALLY SUPPORTS ACTIONABLE ITEMS AND COMMUNICATING ABOUT HOW AND SO A THOUGHT LIKE GLAZER WOULD BE GREAT IF
THE SCHOOLS HAVE THEIR SCHOOL LEVEL DATA AND THEY ARE MAKING DECISIONS BASED OFF OF THAT DID A TA THEN WE SHARE WE HEARD FROM YOU GUYS THESE THINGS MATTER THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING TO WORK ON THESE THINGS AND THESE ARE THINGS WE ARE DOING TO
MAINTAIN. FOR THE THINGS RATED HIGH. THEN, THEN, YOU GUYS DID A COUPLE OF MY QUESTIONS. I WILL ASK THEM. WHEN YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU GUYS ARE REVIEWING AND ANALYZING THE DATA
THIS FALL. HE ISES THERE A TIMELINE TO COME BACK TO US TO SHOW USES WHAT YOU LEARNED? >> THAT ASPIRATE QUESTION. WE DON'T HAVE A PRENS TATION SCHEDULE. WE ARE HAPPY TO COME BACK.
AND ALSO, I WANT TO SAY THAT WE APPRECIATE AND AGREE WITH SCHOOLS SHARING OUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH THEIR DATA BECAUSE SO MUCH OF THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY SCHOOL SPECIFIC SO CERTAINLY THE SCHOOLS HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR OWN DATA. YEAH. >> I LIKE THAT IDEA. BECAUSE IT IS GREAT FOR
BUY-IN. THINK OTHER THING I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT WAS AROUND THE QUESTIONS. WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT WAS A TRENDING THEME AMONG ALL DIRECTORS. AND JUST TROWING THIS OUT.
SO SOME OF THE LINGERING QUESTIONS WERE, ONE, DOES STAFF FEEL CONFIDENT IN THEIR ABILITY TO RESPOND TO BULLYING IN SO I KNOW THAT THERE IS TRAININGS. THERE IS DIFFERENT SUPPORTS. THERE IS POLICIES AND PROCESSES IN PLACE. THERE IS CHARTS ON DECISION MAKING WHEN IT
COMES TO DIFFERENT SAFETY STUFF BUT I AM CURIOUS IS IT TRANSLATING TO CONFIDENCE OR STAFF FEEL THEY KNOW HOW TO RESPOND? ADDITIONALLY, I AM CURIOUS IF STUDENTS PERCEIVE STAFF BECAUSE WE ASK ABOUT ADMINISTRATORS. BUT DO THEY PERCEIVE THEIR TEACHERS AND OTHER
STAFF AS RESPONSIVE AS EFFECTIVE AT ADDRESSING SAFETY CONCERNS SUCH AS BULLYING? BECAUSE AGAIN, THAT MAY EXPLAIN SOME OF THE OTHER DATA AS WELL.
THEN PLUSES A PREVENTION MEASURE THEY PERCEIVE THEY ARE RESPONSIVE,'S FEKTIVE, THAT IN ITSELF CAN PREVENT SOME OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS. >> THAT IS WHERE I LEFT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH?
6789. >> THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PUBLIC COMMENT YOU KNOW THAT WAS HIGHLIGHT THE SIGNIFICANT DISPARITIES BETWEEN THE
DIFFERENT SUB GROUPS OF STUDENTS AND I JUST REALLY WOULD LIKE TO BE RECLEAR AND RESPONDING TO OUR PARENTS YOU POE WHAT ARE WE DOING TO DIVE INTO ANY DESPAIR YOUS? IDENTIFY THEM AND ADDRESS THEM?
I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO PEAK DIRECTLY TO THAT. >> CERTAINLY. WE WANT TO SPEND YOU KNOW SOME ADDITIONAL TIME TO BE ABLE TO LOOK ACROSS ALL THE DEMOGRAPHIC FIELDS WITHIN THIS TO IDENTIFY
WHERE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT GROUPS AND THEIR RESPONSES. THAT IS SOME OF OUR WORK THIS FALL TO EYE FENT FY AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THAT DATA THAT LEADS OTHER QUESTIONS TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW WERE UP TO FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IS
CAUSING THAT DIFFERENCE. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE WELM COOING ENVIRONMENT FOR AUM STUDENTS THAT IS CERTAIN I WHAT WE ASPIR TO AND WHEN WE LOOK AT DATA THAT CERTAINLIES MORE QUESTIONS FOR US.
>> ALL RIGHT THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATE. WHICH WILL MOVE TO OUR RECESS. >> PRESIDENT WILLIAMS. >> ARE WE ALSO GOING TO TALK ABOUT IF WE HAVE QUESTION ON THE REPORT
EO2? >> YEAH. SURE. GO AHEAD. >> OH A. GIVE ME A SECOND TO PULL THAT UP.
YEAH WE HAVE MONITORING REPORT ON EL2 AND PLEASE VOTE THAT AGAIN, BASED ON A LOT OF THIS CONVERSATION, WE WANT TO SEE WHERE OUR DATA MOVES GIVEN ALL OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PREVENTION OF BULLYING TRAINING THAT HAS BEEN
HAPPENING, WE WANT TO SEE WHERE THE DATA MOVES AT THE IN OF NEXT YEAR BUT WE ARE REPORTING PARTIAL COMPLIANCE ON THIS MONITORING REPORT SPECIFICALLY DUE TO EL1.1 AND ALL OTHER ARE IN COMPLIANCE BUT PARTIAL COMPLIANCE BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO SEE THOSE NUMBERS FROM OUR STUDENTS BE HIGHER
AND WE ARE WORKING TOWARD THAT END. >> THANKS.
I AM HAPPY TO JUMP IN WITH FEEDBACK. FIRST OFF I APPRECIATE THAT WE PUSH THIS FROM JUNE WHEN THIS WAS DUE BECAUSE WE WERE WAITING FOR THE DATA DOM IN SO I DEFINITELY APPRECIATE
THAT FROM WHAT WE SAW LAST JUNE WE NOW HAVE SOME SURVEY DATA TAT ADDED TO THE MONITORING REPORT. I THINK IT IS STILL SOMEWHAT HEAVY ON
ACTIVITY DATA AS OPPOSED TO OUTCOME DATA. SO WHAT I MEAN NI. YOU KNOW? SOME OF THE EVIDENCE THOUGHT THE REPORT IS WE
OFFER TRAINING OR WE HAVE POLICIES AND I FEEL LIKE THAT IS ACTIVITY DATA VERSUS THE ACTUAL OUTCOME DATA THAT IS AVAILABLE AND SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING. IF CAN PUT ON THE
SCREEN. THE MONITORING REPORT. MAYBE IT IS. I JUST CANNOT TELL. IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT ONLY PAGE TWO. WE WILL HAVE THE SUPERINTENDENT AND IT HAS THE FIRST ITEM THERE.
THE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT THAT IS PROVIDED ONLY SPEAKS TO THE SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT AT LEAST THE FIRST PART. AND THERE IS NO DATA IN HERE SPEAKING TO YOU
KNOW THE STUDENTS SAYING I AM SAFE AT SCHOOL OR I FEEL MY STUDENT IS SAFE AT SCHOOL. YUN UNDER THAT, IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS WITH COM DATA TAT LIKE THAT COULD BE INCLUDE AND SHOULD BE. THERE COULD BE RATES
INCLUDED THOUGH KIND OF THINGS THEN I FEEL LIKE THERE IS, WELL, I KNOW NO SUB GROUP DATA THAT IS PROVIDED. NO DATA FOR THE NEW SURVEY DATA INSERTED IN
HERE. THAT DATA IS AVAILABLE AND I THINK IT IS VERY RELEVANT FOR IT TO BE. IT DOES NOT PROVIDE
TARGETS. UNLIKE IF I LOOK AT PAGE 7. THERE ARE TARGETS THAT ARE CREATED UNDER ADEQUATE PROTECTION FOR HARASSMENT. BUT WE DON'T HAVE
TARGETS. PAGE THREE, PAGE POURND FIVE WITH THE OTHER DATA POINTS PROVIDED AND WE CAN AND PROVYING WHAT
THE TARGET SHOULD BE. AND THOSE DATA POINTS PROVIDED AS EVIDENCE. AND BEING HERE AND I THINK IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THE
MONITORING REPORT AND PROVIDING THAT TARGET AND THE RATIONAL AND WHERE THAT TARGET WAS PROVIDED. FOR MEETING THE POLICY LANGUAGE THAT IS
OUTLINED IN THE POLICY. WE AS A BOARD CAN SAY IT IS COME PLOY APT AND UNTIL IT ACTUALLY CONTAINS THE DATA AND THE TARGETS AND THE
RIGSAL FOR THE TARGETS. I AM SEEING WHERE THE SUPERINTENDENT HAS GUIDANCE TO PROVIDE THAT IN REL CAN YOU POINT TO
THAT. >> THAN THES BOEING ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE DATA IS SOMETHING WE HAVE ASKED FOR IN EVERY SINGLE MONITORING REPORT
SINCE THE PAST WE STARTED. IF YOU LOOK AT THE HEALTHY KIDS DATA THAT WE HAD, IT HAS BEEN DISAGGREGATED. AND WE HAD DATA ADDED TO MON TOKING REPORTS TWOS YEARS AGO. SO I THINK IT IS PRETTY
CONSISTENT THE DATA TO BE DISAGGREGATED IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE NINE THE HEALTH THINK KIDS SR. I HAVE THAT IS DISAGGREGATED THAT IS WHAT WITH A WAS ADDED TWO YEARS AGO WHEN THE
BOARD REQUESTED THE DISAGGREGATED DATA IT IS PRETTY STANFORD FOR BOARDS TO BE ASKING FOR THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE THE DATA. OK. IT IS BRAND-NEW. I WAS SEEING IT. THAT IS SOMETHING. YEAH. SURE. I DOP THINK YOU ARE ON THE BOARD. CAN REMEMBER IF YOU.
I AM SORRY. I CAN'T REMEMBER. WAY. EVEN THE PARTICIPATION WAS ACROSS ALL OF THE
STUDENTS. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS IN TALKING TO MR. REN NOLLS THE CONCERNS OVERALL I THINK THAT EL
2:00 ITSELF WITH STUDENTS GUARDIANS AND COMMUNITY ALLOW ORGANIZATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE UNLAWFUL AND PRUDENT UNSAFE INEQUITABLE OR UNFAIR. I DON'T THINK WE CAN JUDGE K TY WITHOUT JUDGING WHETHER OR NOT
DIFFERENT GROUPS ARE BEING OR HAVING DIFFERENT IN PANELINGS ON THE DISTRICT. THERE ARE GOOD THINGS I APPRECIATE THE SURVEY REPORTS HERE AND HAVING THEM IN HERE MAKES IT HELPFUL.
I DO THINK THAT IT IS AT LEAST A CONVERSATION THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT SHOULD HAVE ABOUT ABOUT WHETHER THE DISAGGREGATED RESULTS INDICATE THAT SOME AKISSINGAL MEASURES MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO
CLOSE TO THE GAPS. AT LEAST PERCEIVE GAPS WE ARE SEEING. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T FOE WHO IS BEING BULLIED MORE. I KNOW WHO IS REPORTING BEING BULLIED MORE THAT IS IN THIS HEALTHY KIDS SUR I HAVE AND TO SOMEENTIAL AT ANY TIME WE DID NOT ASK THAT QUESTION IN OUR SURVEY
BUT IND KAYS THAT SOME STUDENTS FEEL LESS SAFE OR FEEL LESS CONFIDENT THAN OTHERS AND THINK THINK THE SUPERINTENDENT DID COULD CHOOSE IN DEALING WITH WHETHER OR NOT SITUATIONS ARE UNSAFE INEK QUIT OR
UNFAIR TO LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT CLOSING SOME THOSE GAPS OR PLAN TO CLOSE THOSE GAPS MAY BE RELEVANT AS A GOAL INCONSISTENT. THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHERE I WANT MORE INFORMATION. I ASKED IN THE PAST ABOUT POST INCIDENT DEGREE AND I BELIEVE
THAT SPECIFIC DATA SHOULD NO BE PROVIDED ALTHOUGH I WOULD PREFER A LITTLE BIT MORE DATA WHAT TRIGGERS AND HOW THAT OCCURS. I MENTIONED THAT BEFORE. AGAIN, UP TO THE SUPERINTENDENT TO SEE IF THAT IS IMPORTANT BUT I
THIS I THAT IS ISSUE. AGAIN, I THINK THE FACT THAT WE HAVE OUR SURVEY CITED IN HERE. THERE ARE STANDARDS FOR PERCENTAGE OF KIDS REPORTING BULLYING AND
IS IMPORTANT BUT AGAIN, THERE ARE ISSUES ABOUT I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN SET AND WE DIDN'T MAKE GREAT PROGRESS ON REPORTING BULLYING BETWEEN 21 AND 23. DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL BY 25. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW UNTIL THAT
SURVEY COMES IN. BUT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO ME TO SEE SOME STANDARD FROM THE SUPER INTENT ABOUT WHETHER OUR NEW REPORTING POLICY IS MORE EFFECTIVE. I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT THAT FEWER REPORTS IS
INDICATION OF THAT WE WERE BEING SUCCESSFUL. WE KNEW WE MAY HAVE MORE REPORTS THAT COULD BE A MEASURE OF SUCCESS EN MY WORLD. SO I WOULD BE IN FROMMESTED IF THE
ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERINTENDENT A OF STA COULD FIND A WHICH TO HELP EXPLAIN THAT TO ME. MAYBE TOO PREMATURE TO DO THAT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE NEW POLICY, IF THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT APPROXIMATELY SY THE NEW REPORTING PROCEDURES IF THERE IS ANY WAY RIGHT NOW WE CAN TELL WHETHER
OR NOT THAT IS EFFECTIVE. LOOK I SAID, I NEVER HAVE WANTED TO JUDGE WHETHER THAT REDUCED REPORTS I WANTED TO KNOW IF WE THOUGHT IT WAS EFFECTIVE WAY OF GETTING REPORTS. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. THANK YOU. JUST KIND OF BUILDING ON
THAT I AM WONDERING IF WE SHOULD MOVE THIS AGAIN AFTER THE ANALYSIS IS COME HEAT ARE THE SURVEY. I THINK THAT WILL HELP INFORM APPROPRIATE TARGETS AND WE KNOW IT IS BASELINE DATA SO IT
IS NOT HEY WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS DATA TAT TO SAY YOU ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE BECAUSE THE SURVEY WE STARTED ADMINISTERING IS SAYING THIS PERCENTAGE THAT TELLS US WHERE WE ARE AT THEN ALLOWS US TO SET GOALS MOVING FORWARD.
SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT IS CLEAR. I I DON'T THINK IT IS PUNITIVE AND INSTEAD ASPIRATIONAL AND HELP SETTLING GOALS.
THIS IS AGAIN AROUND HAVING MEASURABLE TARGETS THAT COMPLIANCE SAMES THEN THE TARGETS ARE NOT ALIGNED SO WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COMPLIANCE I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE MEASURES ACROSS ALL THE COMPONENTS THERE ARE
ACTIVITIES, THEY ARE RELEVANT ACROSS THE COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS. BUT THERE IS DISCONNECT IN THE OUTCOME DATA AND FOR EXAMPLE IF TO LOOK AT THE FIRST ONE AND PERMIT AGAINST HAZARDS OR CONDITIONS THAT MAY
THREATEN SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS ONE BIG THING THAT HAPPENED OVER THE LAST YEARS WITH A THE UPDATES TO THE SECLUSION RESTRAINT POLICY AND I THINK THINKING DATA LIKE
LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF SECLUSION MAYBE. THERE IS A PLEASURE THERE WE COULD BE REPORTING OUT ON SINCE WE KNOW THAT IT IS BEING IMPLIED WELL RIGHT. SO HAVING MEASURE ON THAT AND THEN CONTINUING
THAT PRACTICE I THINK IS REALLY STRONG. I HAD ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT OF SUGGESTIONS ON DATA THAT I THOUGHT MIGHT BE HELP 68 AND FULFILL THE COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS THAT I WAS
ABLE TO COME UP WITH OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD JUST BASED OFF OF WHAT I AM AWARE OF AND THE DATA WE ACTIVELY COLLECT OF COURSE AS YOU ARE LOOKING YOU MAY ADD MORE QUESTIONS TO THE SURVEY THAT MAY FILL IN THE AREAS BUT JUST LOOKING AT THE DATA THAT I KNOW
WE ACTIVELY COLLECT I FEEL LIKE WE COULD FILL IN MORE. SO MY SUGGESTION IS WE MOVE THIS THIS THE ANALYSIS IS DONE THAT WAY YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE AARON HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE
FEEDBACK. >> SUPERINTENDENTMENT YEAH. THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR FEEDBACK. ONE OF THE REASONS THAT FOR EXAMPLE ON THE FIRST ONE THE TARGET TALKS TO SAFETY DRILLS ET CETERA. IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH OVERLAP AMONG EACH OF THE INDIVIDUALS
EL'S THAT THE TARGET AROUND RESPECTFUL SECURE, HEALTHY, ET CETERA, THOSE TARGETS ARE COVERED UNDER EL, UNDER OTHER SUB EL'S BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH OVERLAP BUT THAT BEING SAID WE ARE HAPPY TO ESTABLISH TARGETS
UNDEREACH OF THEM EVEN UNDERSTANDING THAT WILL BE A LOT OF REPETITION BUT CERTAINLY WE ARE HAPPY TO DO THAT AND ALSO HAPPY TO DO DISAGGREGATED THEN I THINK THAT PRESENTING TO IT THE BOARD AGAIN AFTER WE HAVE DONE A DEEPER DIVE ANALYSIS IN PARTICULAR WITH SUB
GROUPS IS A VERY GOOD SUGGESTION SO I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT WE COME BACK THIS WINTER WITH THAT ONCE WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT SO PERHAPS IN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER. >> I WOULDN'T SUGGEST BEING REPETITIVE.
I WOULD JUSTIFICATION IT FALLS LATER. THIS ONE IS MORE BROAD. SO THE OUTCOME MEASURES ARE MORE BROAD. I WOULD BE FINE WITH THAT. THANK YOU. >> OK. WITH THAT, WE'LL NOW
MOVE TO RECESS. IT IS 8:02 WE'LL COME BACK AT 8:15.
>> WE ARE CALLING BACK TO ORDER HERE. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE INTO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATE FOR 30-MINUTE PRESENTATION AND A 20-MINUTE DISCUSSION. >> OK.
TARIFFIC IN. WE ARE EXCITED TO UPDATE ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN, THE WORK THAT HAS GONE INTO IT. THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH WORK IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, WE ARE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED. I AS YOU ALL LO, WE PAUSED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, LAST SPRING, WHILE WE WORKED THROUGH THE REALLY IMPORTANT
WORK OF GROWTH AND DECLINE IN OUR DISTRICT THAT NEEDED EVERYONE'S FULL ATTENTION. SO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CIRCLE BACK AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE DOING THE TRA TEENIC PLAN AND SO EXCITEDDED ABOUT THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE. WANT TO START WITH THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ENDS BECAUSE THE STRA TEEN IN
PLAN WORK IS GROUNDED IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION END SO I DON'T NEED TO READ YOUR OWN ENDS TO YOU. BUT I DO NEED YOU TO KNOW, THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE DID IS GROUNDED IN THE ENDS AND THE STRATEGIC PLAN NATURALLY FLOWS FROM THE ENDS SO I
WANT TO INTRODUCE RAY McNAULTY FROM SPN AND HE -- HIS ORGANIZATION HELPED FACILITATE THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS FOR US AND IS CONTINUING TO HELP FACILITATE THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS FOR US.
SO RAY WILL TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS THAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND WE ENGAGED IN TOGETHER AND THEN AS WE LANDED ON THE RESULT THEN I WILL TALK THROUGH WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PLAN ITSELF FOR THE DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. THANKS FOR FLYING OUT TO BE WITH US. >> IT GRATIONETTE.
IT NICE FIRST DAY OF WORK IN THREE MONTHS. NO. IT IS GREAT. AND IT IS A PRESSURE, TOO, TO SIT IN AND LISTEN TO ALL THE THINGS THAT THE BOARD HAS TO DEAL WITH. AS I WAS SITTING BACK THERE, WAS LOOKING AT THE NOTES ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN, AND YOU
KNOW, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THESE PLANS, WE START TO WORK ON THEM. IT REALLY IS ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE THAT WE FACE BECAUSE EVERY DAY IN OUR SCHOOLS, THEY LIVEN THE PRESENT AND THE PAST. BUT THE FUTURE DOESN'T
GET MUCH TIME. IN A DAY OF WORK. I THINK IT MIGHT, IT MAY BE THE SAME FOR YOU IN THE SOME OF THE WORK THAT YOU DO. BUT THE WORK KIND OF POE FOCUSES ON BEGINNING WITH THIS WHOLE CONCEPT OF GETTING THE PURPOSE RIGHT. MAKING SHORE THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS ALIGNED
PROPERLY AND THEN TO GET TOT THE POINT DOWN TON THE BOTTOM WHERE WE TALK ABOUT THE THINGS WE WANT TO PRESERVE IN THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THE PLAN IS ABOUT THE FUTURE. AND WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT ARE WE GOING TO BRING WITH US THE FUTURE? IT IS A MIX OF
STABILITY. THOUGH SYSTEM STABILITY AND TO FUND THAT OUT. WHAT I CAN SAY, IN A LOT OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE, THERE IS REALLY STRONG BASE OF LIT RITE SY AND MATH MATNESS THE SCHOOL AND VERY POWERFUL
PIECE YOU DON'T WANT TO LET GO OF. WAS OBVIOUS AS WE STARTED TO END FADGE WITH THE PUBLIC, THIS WAS GREAT PRIDE IN THAT WORK. THEN AT THE SAME TIME. WE HAVE LOOK AT WE HAVE TO KIND OF FOCUS ON OUR STUDENTS AND ARE WE GOING TO GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED TO BE
SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE. THAT IS PREPARING THEM FOR THE FUTURE AND START TO ASK AND LOOK FOR AND THOSE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD WITH THE COMMUNITY, WITH STUDENT STU, WITH TEACHERS, WE HAVE TO
ALSO UNDERSTAND, WHAT ARE THE FUTURE POSSIBILITIESES? THE EMERGING CHALLENGES AND THE OPPORTUNITIES, AND I KNOW, I AS I WAS SITTING HERE TONIGHT. WAS LISTENING TO THE WORK YOU WERE DOING ON THE BUILDINGS AND MAKING THE FACILITIES LOOK GREAT. THE STRATEGIC PLAN BEGINS TO LOOK AT WHAT
IS HAPPENING IN THE CLASS RAM. WHERE REWITH TAKING OUR STUDENTS SO THAT IS A WHOLE, WHOLE FUNCTION OF OUR WORK AS WE BEGIN TO DIVE INTO THIS WORK. BY THE WAY, I THINK I SPENT EVERY LAST FEBRUARY I WAS IN THE DISSTRUCK THE ENTIRE
MONTH EXCEPT TWO DAYS. THAT INCLUDED WEEKENDS WITH SOS GOT TO YUN ARE TANZ AND KNOW A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT. SO THE STRATEGIC CYCLE THAT WE USE AND WE HAVE USED TO OPERATE IN THE WORK, IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTANDS, THAT WE STARTED WITH THIS WHOLE
IDEA OF, LIKE, BY THE WAY, I HAD SURGERY, I WAN TOT LOOK UP. I WILL BACK UP A LITTLE BIT. WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND THE ISSUES THEN
UNDERSTAND THE PUSH OF THE PRESENT. WHAT IS PUSHING US IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM? WE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHAT IS PUSHING US? WHAT ARE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR? THEN HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS OF ARTICULATING THE PULL OF THE FUTURE. WHAT IS PULLING US?
THAT WAS POLO BY THE WAY OF THE PAST. WHAT IS HOLDING US BACK? AND WHEN THIS WORK BEGAN, WE SAT WITH THE CABINET AND SPENT AN ENTIRE DAY WITH THEM. DEALING WITH THOSE ISSUES THEN BUILDING SOME OF YOU WHO KNOW?
YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE MEETINGS, WE CREATED SOME PLAUSIBLE FUTURES WITH THEM. THOSE PLAUSIBLE PRAETORS WE USED TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS, WITH THE STUDENTS, WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, WITH TEACHERS, AND THAT
IS HOW, THAT IS HOW THIS STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PIECE PEE FAN. WHAT EMERGED FROM THAT IS THE SET OF TRA TEENIC COMMITMENTS AND WE REFOG SHOW YOU SOME OF THOSE STRATEGIC COME MILTMENTS THE COMMUNITY WAS SAYING, THEY CANNOT. IT WAS INCREDIBLE TO SEE
THE COHESIVENESS, THE AUTHENTICITY THAT PEOPLE HAD RICH CONVERSATIONS AND THEY WERE OPPOSITE CONVERSATIONS BUT THEY WERE RICH. SOS YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THAT AS WE BEGIN TO SHARE THIS WORK. BUT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A LOT OF THE COMMITMENTS
AND THEN, MOST RECENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN A DAYLONG ACTIVITY WITH THE CABINET AND OTHERS, OTHER LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN THE DISTRICT, WHERE WE STARTED TO IDENTIFY WHAT ARE THE INITIATIVES THAT ARE FOG DRIVE THE PLAN ITSELF?
SO WE HAVE CENTERED THE TOP CIRCLE OF TRAGEDY DEVELOPMENT? WE ARE BEGINNING NOW TO MOVE ON TOP THE WORK OF THINGS THAT I THINK SOME OF YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN. THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRA TIMIC ACTION PLANS. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO MEASURE? HOW DO WE DO THAT
WORKING? HOW DO WE ALIGN THE WORK TO THE ORGANIZATION THE NEW WORK. THEN, HAS ALSO, HOW DO WE EXECUTE THOSE PLAN MISSO THIS IS WORK THAT HAS NOT YET HAPPENED. IT IS GOING TO BEGIN. AND THAT LEADS ME TO
THIS POINT ABOUT THE PLAUSIBLE FUTURE. I THINK SHOULD BE ONE OTHER CIRCLE. THERE IT IS. WAS WONDERING WHERE IT WAS. IT LEAVES ME TO THE POINT OF A PLAUSIBLE FUTURE. THIS WORK, WHEN I THINK
ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF WHAT WE ENGAGED WITH AND FOUND THE WORK TO CONNECT CENTERS ON THE THREE BIG CIRCLES. WHATS THE WORLD TELL US WE SHOULD PREPARE FOR OVER THE NEXT 10 TO 15 YEARS IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS WERE RICH CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
COMMUNITY. I THINK SOME OF YOU SAT THROUGH, LIKE WE HAD STUDENT GROUPS, AND WE ASKED THEM THOSE QUESTIONS. WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO INHOW DO WE WANT TO CHANGE? WHAT DO WE WANT TO KEEP
THE SAME? THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE STILL HAPPENING. AS WE START TO BUILD OUT THE PLANS FOR THE TU FUTURE, WE HAVE TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE HAVE TO STOP DOING?
THAT IS CRITICAL VARLE. YOU CANNOT ADD NEW THINGS IF YOU DON'T STOP DOING SOME THINGS. THINK YOU ALL PROBABLY KNOW THIS. WE SEE THE WITHIN THE REPORTS WE SAW ISSUES LIKE MEN AL HEALTH OF THE STUDENT AND TEACHERS INCH PEOPLE WANTING TO
SAY, THERE IS A LOT GOING ON. DO WE CREATE SPACE? SOME OF THE STRA TEEN TICK PLAN WORK IS NOT ADD THINGS TO THE SYSTEM, BUT LET'S STOP DOING SOME THINGS. LET'S MAKE SOME SPACE. SO ON THE TOP, TO THRIVE
OVER THE NEXT 10 TO 15 YEARS, WHAT CAPACITIES DO WE NEED TO LEAN ON? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DEVELOP? WHAT DO WE NEED TO RETIRE?
WHAT DO WE NEED TO TRANSFORM INONE OF THE KEY THINGS, I THINK, AS WE LOOK AHEAD FROM THE WORK THAT WE DISCOVERED IN OUR CONVERSATIONS IS IN TRUCKS HAS TO CHANGE. BECAUSE WE FOCUS A LOT ON CONTENT AND NOT SAYING WE SHOULDN'T, BUT WHAT WE ARE HEARING IS,
WE NEED KID, WE NEED OUR KIDS TO BE LEARNING SKILLS AS WELL. SO HOW DO YOU MERGE THE CONTENT WE TEACH TO THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE TU FUTURE BECAUSE WHAT THE BUSINESS WORLD WANTS ARE SKILLS.
THEY WANT TO KNOW THAT STUDENTS COULD BE RESPONSIBLE, THAT THEY HAVE PASSION FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DO. THAT THEY ARE RESILIENT, AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE NOTICED, NOT JUST,
YOU KNOW, I SHOULDN'T SAY WE NOTICED. IT IS SHORE THAT YOU IS A HOT TOPIC IN EDUCATION TODAY. OUR KIDS DON'T SEE FAILURE AS PART OF LEARNING. SO CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW DO WE BUILD THOSE THINGS INTO INSTRUCTION. THTHAT IS THE WORK AND THE
CIRCLES WE HAVE TO BEGIN. THAT WORK IS GOING ON. IT HAS BEEN, AS I SAID, SEVERAL MEETINGS, A MEETING IN JULY WITH THE CABINET. THERE IS SOME MEETINGS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER, THAT BILL FROM OUR ORGANIZATION IS COMING TO MEET WITH THE
PRINCIPALS, BUT IF I GO BACK ONE SLIDE, WHAT IT WILL END UP IS YOU I WILL END UP BEGINNING TO DEVELOP EX DUCING OF ALL THAT WORK. THAT WHERE WE ARE GOING TO DO GO.
SO WITH THE WHOLE ON SENT HOW CRAZY THE WORLD ITS, HOW MUCH IS GOING ON. WHAT WE WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU IS THAT AS A FORMER COMMISSIONER I REMEMBER A STRATEGIC PLAN THAT DISTRICTSES IN OUR STATE WERE
DEVELOPING AND THE DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLANS WERE 10-20-90 PANELS LONG. NO ONE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. NO TEACHERS. THIS CONCEPT OF LEADING WITH STRATEGIC PLANS TO CREATE A ONE PAGE PLAN.
THIS THAT BECOME. IT'S THE PUBLIC FACE OF THE SYSTEM THEN BE HEINZ THAT, THROUGH THE EXECUTION PLANS ON THE INITIATIVES AND THE CORNERSTONES, ONE OF THE CORNERSTONES THAT HAVE BEEN DITS DISCOVERED AND WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE. WHAT ARE THE INITIATIVES THAT WE ARE GOING TO LAUNCH?
THEN THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE'LL START TO MEASURE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS.
THE GRADUATES EM AM POWERED TO MEET THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE, PURPOSE, OPTIMISM. ONE OF THE THINGS YOU THINK ABOUT IS AS YOU WERE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT TONIGHT, THE SCHOOLS BEING CLEAN AND NEAT AND ORGANIZED, WE WANT TO
OUR KIDS NOT JUST TO BE HAPPY THIS BUILDING BUT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE THEIR FUTURE. BECAUSE THEY SPENT THEIR DAYS IN THE DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. TO GIVE THEM HOPE FOR WHAT THEIR FUTURE COULD BE ABOUT.
SO THE END STATEMENT ALL STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP THE MIND SKILLS, MINDSETS, AS A BOARD I THINK YOU KNOW THOSE TERMS VERY WELL BECAUSE THEY ARE TIED TO THE BOARD INITIATIVES TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL PROPOTENTIAL SAFE ACCESSIBLE AND THRIVING AN WELCOMED
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. THOSE ARE THE KEY PIECES OF THIS WORK. SO WHAT I WILL DO NOW, TURN THIS OVER I WILL HAVE HER POINT OUT WHAT
GREW, WHAT ARE THE RITE CALL CORNERSTONES AND HOW THOSE ARE GOING TO BE HAN HANDLED. >> GREAT. >> THANKS. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> LET ME JEFF THAT YOU. GOOD CATCH. >> HIS ORGANIZATION DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB FACILITATING THIS PROCESS FOR US AND
COLLECTING FEEDBACK FROM THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS, HUNDREDS OF WHICH WERE IN PERSON FOCUS GROUPS, AND IN ORDER TO KIND OF LAND WHERE WE LANDED AND REALLY WONDERFUL THING IS, THE THEMES AND THE TONGUES WERE CONSIST TENT ACROSS DIFFERENT
GROUPS, SO OUR BUSINESS LEADERS, OUR FAMILY, OUR STAFF, OUR STUDENTS THEMSELVES, REALLY THIS, THIS ALL CAME FROM THE FEEDBACK FROM ALL OF THOSE FOLKS AND IT WAS CONSISTENT ACROSS ALL OF THOSE GROUPS. OF COURSE, YOU ARE
FAMILIAR WITH THE END SAME BECAUSE IT IS YOUR END STATEMENT. THE KNOWLEDGE SKILLS MUNN SETHS AND DISPOSITIONS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL WHICH RAY JUST SHARED. THAT IS THE END STATEMENT. OUR FOUND DIGSAL COMMITMENT IS TO CULL TY
VIT A CULTURE THAT STRIVES FOR EXCELLENCE AND PROMOTES HOPE AND RESILIENCY. THIS SPEAKS A LOT OUR CLI MIT AND CULTURE NORMS AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT ALSO SPEAKS TO OUR COME PIT MITMENT TO THE STUDENTS IN TERMS OF WHAT KIND OF CULTURE WE PROVIDE FOR THEM FOR
THEIR LEARNING AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THESE THREE WORDS. FOR OUR FOUNDATIONAL COMMITMENT. EXCELLENCE. EXCELLENCE IS SOMETHING THAT DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ALWAYS KNOWN FOR. HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR, CERTAINLY SHOULD
ALWAYS BE KNOWN FOR. HOPE AND OPTIMISM ARE TWO THINGS THAT REALLY WERE TIS CUSSED A LOT DURING THE PROCESS. SOMETHING THAT WAS CONSIST TEN IN THE FEEDBACK ACROSS THOSE GROUPS. THERE IS ACTUALLY A LOT OF RESEARCH OUT THAT I KNOW RAY CAN TALK TO YOU AS WELL. IN FACT, LOOK AT HIM.
HE EGGS DYING. WOULD YOU LAKE TO TALK ABOUT HOPE, RAY. >> IT IS. ONE OF THE THINGS -- I HAVE TO BE CRITICAL TO MYSELF, I USED TO HAVE A SLIDE THAT SAID HOPE IS NOT A PLAN. HAVE YOU SEEN THAT SIGN?
YOU HAVE TO HAVE HOPE. THERE HAS BEEN A STUDY ON WHAT IS THE CRITICAL TRAITS THAT WE WANT IN AN INDIVIDUAL. IT IS HOPE. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAY, THE WORLD THE RAISEY WORLD WE LIVE IN NOW. I LOOK AT AS AROUND THE
COUNTRY YOU LOOK AT THE CHANGES GOING ON EVERYTHING. KIDS ARE LOOKING AT IT GOING WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? HOW DO I GET THERE? WE NEED AS TO HAVE SYSTEMS THAT BUILD HOPE AND RESILIENCE IN THE KIDS THEN IF WE HIT THAT THING RIGHT THERE, IF THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THEN YOU WILL SEE A LOT
OF OTHER IMPROVE AMS OCCUR BECAUSE HOPE AND RESILIENCE WILL BRING TO OUR SCHOOLS, THE KIND OF STUDENTS THAT YOU WANT, YOU WANT, YOU WANT TO BE IN THE JOBS OUT THERE, YOU WANT THEM TO BE, YOU WANT THE CHILDREN TO BE HOPEFUL AND RESILIENT
ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THEY ARE GOING TO FACE. THAT IS A CRITICAL STATEMENT. THE WORDS CAME OUT OF THE COMMUNITY, OUT OF THE PUBLIC OFFICIALS THAT ARRIVED, OUT OF STUDENTS, AND IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE ONE TIME IN ONE OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS I WAS CORNERED BUY A GROUP OF MIDDLE
SCHOOL STUDENTS WE WERE ASKING TO DO WORK. THEY SAID WE WANT TO LEARN THINGS THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY REAL THINGS IN LIFE. WE ARE TIRED OF LEARNING THINGS THAT ARE NOT REAL. THEY SAID, WE TALK ABOUT WE WANT HOPE.
WHAT WAS NEAT WAS LISTENING TO TEACHER TALK ABOUT HOPE AS WELL. I THIS I, THERE IS A LOT OF STRATEGIC PLANS I HAVE DEVELOPED AND THIS US THE FIRST TAME WE HAD HOPE AND RESILIENCY INSIDE OF THEM. PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT IT. YEAH. >> WELL.
WE ARE, TOO. >> THERE IS RESEARCH THAT THE TRADE OR EMOTION OF HOPE IS MORE POWERFUL FOR THE FUTURE OF STUDENTS THAN EVEN THINGS LIKE HAPPINESS. >> YEP. >> IT IS JUSTS A REALLY, REALLY POWERFUL, VERY POW POWERFUL THING.
WE ARE DEVELOPED FIVE CORNERSTONE COMMIT AMS THAT AGAIN CAME DIRECTLY OUT OF THE FOCUS GROUPS AND OUR SURVEY, SO FROM THE COMMUNITY, FIRST AND FOREMOST IS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. ALWAYS RIGHT. OUR DISTRICT IS KNOWN FOR AC DEM TICK
EXCELLENCE. WE ARE KNOWN NOW MORE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE KNOWN NOW. WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE OUR EYES OFF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, SO THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE CORNERSTONE COMMITMENT FOR US. IT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY WORK ON FOR YEARS AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ACTIVELY
WORK ON SO IT IS NOT SOME NEW, YOU KNOW, NEW THING BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT IS CALLED OUT, CONTINUES TO BE A CORNERSTONE. SECONDLY IS TRA EM TOOIC TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION SO, YOU WILL HAVE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THAT BEFORE AND ACTUALLY I
WILL GO THROUGH THESE. I END MEANT TO GOES THROUGH THESE. YOU KNOW ABOUT ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. RIGHT. WE VERY TO HAVE THAT FOUNDATION OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATION PEAKS TO THAT TENSION BETWEEN DID HE VICE USE AND DEVELOPING BRAINS AND HOW WE KIND OF MANAGE THAT ALL THE WAY TO MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE TEACHING OUR KIDS TO LEVERAGE EVERYTHING AVAILABLE TO THEM SO THEY ARE ABLE TO LEAD THE WAY IN THIS WORLD,
SO PART OF WHAT WE'LL BE DOING AS WE LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IS I ADDRESSING THE IMPACT OF DEVICE USE IN THE CLASSROOM AND SCHOOLS AND NOW HAVE DATA ON THAT POINT AS PART OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN OUTREACH. WE ARE GOING TO LEAN
INTO AI AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AND TECHNOLOGIESES SO STUDENTS AGAIN ARE NOT READY TO ADAPT BUT READY TO LEAD THE CHANGE AND WE WILL BE LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEPS TO SAVE STAFF TIMES WE RELEANING IN IN TERMS OF THE EVERYDAY WORK THAT
WE DO THAT OUR TEACHERS DO AND ADMINISTRATORS DO TO SAVE TIME SO WE ARE ABLE TO FOCUS ON THE STUDENTS TO PROVIDE PERSONALIZED LEARNING TO EVERY STUDENT TO LEVERAGE THOSE POSSIBILITIES OF TUTORING IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE, PERSONALIZING TO THE INTEREST SO YOU CAN STILL GET THOSE
SKILLS AND HAVE ALL OF THOSE ADVANTAGES THAT MEET EACH OF THE STUDENTS WHERE THEY ARE. THEN, PHYSICIANLY, WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY VERY THOUGHTFULLY AND STRATEGICALLY TEACH OUR KIDSES THAT HE TECHNOLOGY SKILLS INCLUDING LEARNING TO USE AND LEVERAGE AI AND
SAFE ETHICAL RESPONSIBLE WAYS, SO HAVING KIND OF THOSE, THINK OF THOSE LIKE THREE BUCKETS. AND THEN ESSENTIAL MINDSETS AND DISPOSITIONS, SO FIRST AND FOREMOST, MINDSETS AND DISPOSITIONS IS ABOUT CREATING SPACE AND TUNE FOR THE STUDENTS TO
HAVE WHAT WE WOULD CALL PRODUCTIVE STRUGGLE RIGHT. THEY ARE ACTUALLY, THEY ARE STRUGGLING THROUGH A PROBLEM. AND IT IS THE ACT OF STRUGGLING IT'S THE FAILURES THEMSELVES THAT HELP OUR STUDENTS LEARN AND BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO GROW AS THEIR
PRODUCTIVELY STRUGGLING. FOCUS ON THE SKILLSES THAT OUR STUDENTS NEED TO BE SUCCESS OF IN THE WORKPLACE. ESSENTIALS MINDSET AND DISPOSITION SPEAKS TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ENDS YOU ALL CALL OUT MINDSET AND DISPOSITIONS IN VERY PARTICULAR ONCE IN FACT.
COLLABORATION, COMMUNICATION, CRITICAL THINKING, ALO OF THAT RESEARCH WE LOOKED AT EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS. AND ENSURING STUDENTS ACQUIRE THE SELF LEADERSHIP, PERSONAL SKILLS NEEDED TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE AND ENGAGED MENS OF SOCIETY. SO PART OF OUR WORK WILL
BE KIND OF DEFINING ALL OF THIS. AND HOW IT FITS INTO WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN WORKING ON. FUTURE READY GRADUATES SO POST SECONDARY READINESS AND LIFE SKILLS. SO THIS IS REALLY ABOUT PREPARING OUR STUDENTS FOR LIFE AFTER HIGH
SCHOOL. WHETHER THEY ARE DOING SOME OTHER PATHWAY SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION OFFERINGS THE WAIT LIST CONTINUE TO BE MASSIVE AS I MENTIONED WE ARE BUILDING COSMETOLOGY AT DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL AND ALREADY FULL WELL A WAIT
LIST BEFORE WE PUT A SHOVEL IN THE GROUND AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN CAREER AND CONTINUE TO LEAN IN ON MICROCREDENTIALS WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ARE CERTAINLY A LEADER AT EVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN THAT AREA. WE ALSO WANT TO OFFER
ROBUST REALLY ROBUST AND PACIFIC PERSONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY AND RACT CALL LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMMING. WE WOULD LIKE TO BUILD THOSE OPPORTUNITIES STARTING FROM THE GROUND UP, SO PK THROUGH 12 TO HAVE THOSE ABILITY CALL LIFE SKILLS AND PERSONAL
FINANCIAL LITERACY OFFERINGS SO THAT OUR KIDS ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP THAT KNOWLEDGE SPECIFICALLY. THRIVING SCHOOLS AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES. IT US ONE OF THE CORNERSTONE COMMIT 78S, SO WHAT DOES THRIVING SCHOOLS AND THRIVING COMMUNITIES MEAN?
WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO PLAN FOR A THRIVING SCHOOL SYSTEM? THAT PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE STATE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY WILL WANT TO MOVE TOWARD. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A THRIVING SCHOOL SYSTEM AND A SURVIVING SCHOOL SYSTEM? WE KIND OF HAVE THIS FUNDAMENTAL HE DECISION THAT THE COMMUNITY IS
WAITING THEN THEY WANTED US TO BE A THRIVING SCHOOL SYSTEM NOT JUST WE CAN BARLEY GET BYE-BYE SHOVING KIDS INTO A SCHOOL THAT IS 45 MINUTE OR AWAY OR WHATEVER. HOW DO WE BECOMING A THRIVING SCHOOL SYSTEM? WE HAVE TO CON FIGURE OUT SCHOOLS TO ENSURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY
THRIVES REGARDLESS OF WHAT A STUDENT ZIP CODE IS OR WHERE THEY LIVE WITHIN DOUGLAS COUNTY AND THEN ABLE TO OFFER A FULL CONTINUING OF PROGRAMMING THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF OUR STUDENTS. SO OUT OF THOSE CORNERSTONE COMMITMENTS,
THESE ARE OUR INITIATIVES. SO OUR ROW DUST INITIATIVES IF IT WAS CHALLENGE FOR US TO GET THE LIST DOWN TO THIS MANY. WE STARTED OUT WITH THREE TIMES AS MUCH THEN WE HAVE TO AT LEAST GET IT DOWN TO SOMETHING THAT IS REALISTIC FOR US
TO WORK ON, FOCUS ON, DEVELOPING AI LITERACY AND SUPPORTS. CONTINUING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CORE PROGRAMMING AND BERVENTIONS THAT PEAKS TO THAT ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE PIECE. DEDICATING PLC TIME FOR ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE
SCHOOLS THAT ALSO SPEAKS TO THAT ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE PIECE ALONG WITH SOME OF THE OTHERS. REFINING A R AND INCREASE PATHWAY DEVELOPMENT TOWARD WORKFORCE NEEDS AND CREDENTIALS SO, ACIN, CONTINUING TO LEAN IN AND THAT POST SECONDARY
MICROCREDENTIAL WORLD AND DEVELOP AND GROW PERSONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY AND PRAC CALL SKILL COURSES AND EXPERIENCES ACROSS PK THROUGH 12 SO SPEAKS TO BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT WHERE WE COVER THOSE DIFFERENT LIFE SKILL AND
PERSONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY. RIGHT NOW SHALL WHERE IT IS IN THE STANDARDS, IT IS SOMETHING WE DO. IT IS SPREAD OUT ACROSS VARIOUS SUBJECT AREAS AND ACROSS, WE WANT TO HAVE IT BE A FOCUSED COURSE AREA, SO THAT STUDENTS ARE REALLY GETTING THOSE SKILLS
VERY, VERY EXPLICITLY. PLAN, BUILD, CON CYCLE DATE, GROW THRIVING SCHOOLS. SO THIS IS CONTINUING OUR WORK IN GROWTH AND DECLINE. AND REALLY ENSURING THAT WE HAVE FOR EXAMPLE, ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT
OFFER PK THROUGH FIFTH GRADE AVAILABLE TO ALL OF THE FAMILIES WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES MAKING SURE THAT EACH OF THE SCHOOLS ARE THRIVING HAVE SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO REALLY OFFER THAT GREAT PROGRAMMING TO OUR STUDENTS.
SIXTH GRADE BEING A PART OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THAT IS WHAT OPTIMIZES OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY SO THAT PLAN CON 108 DID THE AND GROWS THRIVING SCHOOLS SPEAKS TO THOSE THINGS ALONG WITH OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMING, AND BEING
ABLE TO OFFER A CONTINUUM OF SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMING IN EACH OF THE REGIONS SO THAT WE HAVE KIND OF THAT WHOLE CONTINUUM AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS IN THEIR GENERAL AREA. DEVELOP AND UM PLIMENT COMMON UNDERSTANDING AND DEFINITION OF DISTRICT
MINDSETS AND DISPOSITIONS SO, WE USED TO CALL THEM ESSENTIAL SKILLS. A LOT OF THEM ARE THE SKILL INTERESTS THE MCKENZIE RESEARCH AND MINDSET AND DISPOSITIONS, THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF THEM. WE NEED TO KIND OF WORK BY BEING GUIDED BY THE
BOARD ENDS TO NARROWING THOSE DOWN TO WHAT WE REALLY FEEL ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT. AND THEN GETTING THAT IMPLEMENTED THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM AND WE ARE ALREADY DOING SO MUCH OF THAT WORK, IT IS NOT LIKE WE ARE STARTING OVER BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN DOING SO MUCH OF THE WORK AROUND SEE ESSENTIAL SKILLSES SO
HELPS US KIND OF NARROW IN AND ADJUST THAT WORK TO MATCH OUR STRATEGIC EK PLAN THAT MATCHES THE BOARD ENDS. DEVELOP AND UM PLIMENT POLICY FOR RESPONSIBLE USE OF COMMUNICATION DECISES SO WORKING ON THAT AND CREATE A
FINANCIAL PLAN TO SUPPORT STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES SO IF WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT GROW CONSOLIDATE, AND BUILD THRIVING SCHOOLS THOSE KIND OF THINGS HOW DO WE COME UP WITH A PLAN TO IMPLEMENT ALL OF THOSE THINGS OVER THE
NEXT NUMBER OF YEARS? EACH OF THESE INITTIVES TOUCHES ONE OR MORE OF THE CORNERSTONE COMMITMENTS, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITH OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE STILL BECAUSE WE NEED, WE NEED, WE HAVE TO DETERMINE THE
METRICCANCE MEASURES OF SUCCESS. AND WHAT THAT IS IFING TO LOOK LIKE. IN A LOT OF THESE, TAKE MUND SETH AND DISPOSITIONS FOR EXAMPLE LOOKING A HOW WE ARE GOING TO MEASURE THOSE METRICS WHAT KIND OF AC CEMENTS WE ARE USING OR WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE
THAT IS PART OF THE INITIATIVE IS MAPPING OUT WHAT SUCCESS IS GOING TO LOOK TICK AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO MEASURE IT. SO THAT, THAT IS THE CIRCULAR PART THAT ADDRESSING EARLIER THAT WE ARE NOW INTO.
>> I WILL ADD TO THIS. THIS ROBUST INITIATIVE WORK, IT IS PRETTY HEAVY-DUTY. IT IS A LOT IN THOUGH EIGHT ITEMS. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BEHIND THAT, IS SOMETHING THAT EMERGED IN THE WAS CANS WITH THE FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS. AND ONE OF THE POSITIVE
THINGS WAS IN ALL OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS, WE KIND OF GOT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE AS I WAS TALKING EARLIER ABOUT CHANNEL AND INNOVATION. WHAT EMERGED WASES THIS I WILL CALL IT THE FRAMEWORK OF BALANCE THERE CAME OUT THREE
STATEMENTS THAT EMERGED FROM ALL OF THE GROUPS. ONE IS INNOVATION WITH FUNDAMENTALS. AND THAT WAS STATEMENT THAT THEY MADE. THEY STARTED TO SUPPORT THAT. WE HEARD THAT NOT JUST FROM PARENT GROUPS BUT FROM THE BUSINESS GROUPS AND FROM THE TEACHERS
LIKE YEAH YOU CAN DO INNOVATION BUT LET'S RAILROAD TO ARE THE FUNDAMENTALS IN PLACE. THE SECOND WAS TECHNOLOGICALLICCAL ADVANCEMENT WITH HUMAN CONNECTION THAT THERE IS A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY OUT THERE AND WE GOT TO BALANCE AS WITH HUMAN CONNECTION.
IT'S THE CABINET AND THE WORK THEY HAVE BEEN DOING, THEY ARE DRIVEN BY THOSE BY THESE BALANCES THEN THE LAST ONE, I THINK IS MOST APPROPRIATE IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN AND JUST HAVE AMBITIOUS GOALS. BUT IMPLEMENT WITH REALITY.
AND THE KEY THERE IS, THAT A LOT OF THESE THINGS OR MANY ARE IN PLACE AND I THINK THEY WOULD LOVE AS TO MOVE THEM EVEN DEEPER BUT WE START TO, WHEN YOU START TO GET TO THAT MANY. THERE IS REALITY TO IT. HOW MUCH CAN WE GET DONE.
AND KEEPING THAT BALANCE OF THE EMOTIONAL TRES WE ALSO THAT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT IS OUT THERE AND REAL STRONG PART OF THAT COMING FROM THE CABINET AND THE PLANNING THEY ARE DOING. THEN I KNOW MEMBERS OF OUR STAFF HAVE BEEN STEVE, AND BILL WHO ARE
WORKING WITH THE CABINET I BELIEVE AND ROBERT AND YOU KNOW, SO THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS, BUT THIS IS A HEAVE HEAVY LIFT. SO WE GOT TO THINK ABOUT HOW DOES THAT PALANCE THAT? SO. >> YEAH. THANK YOU. AND TRULY A LOT OF THESE
ARE UNDERWAY WELL UNDER ROG FRES SO THIS STRATEGIC PLAN IS NOT LIKE TEARING IT ALL DOWN AND STARTING OVER. WE ARE BUILDING ON THE GREAT WORK THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING WHILE BEING FOCUSED AND INTENTIONAL ABOUT ARE THAT WORK IS GOING AND ADAPIN, TALKING ABOUT OUR MEASURES OF SUCCESS.
I KNOW SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AND CABINET. WE ARE INCREDIBLY EXCITED ABOUT ALL OF THESE SOMETHING WE JUST MENTIONED THAT RESONATED WAS HOW IMPORTANT THAT HUMAN CONNECTION PIECE IS FOR USES THAT IS WRAPPED INTO THE
PERSONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY AND PRACTICAL LIFE SKILLS INITIATIVE BECAUSE WE REALLY, THAT HUMAN CONNECTION IS ACTUALLY BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT AND THE MORE THAT OUR DIGITAL WORLD BECOMES FILLED WITH ARTIFICIAL
INFORMATION, INFORMATION THAT IS PRODUCED BY AI, BY BOTTS AND OWES ALL THOSE THINGS, THE MORE ARTICLE OR DIGITAL WORLD BECOME, THE MORE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DOUBLE DOWN ON HUMAN SKILLS AND HUMAN CONNECTION.
KIND OF LIKE DALE CARNEGIE'S HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND UNFLUORENCE POPE. REALLY LOOKING AT THOSE CONNECTIONS. AND SO ALL OF THIS OUR ENTIRE STRATEGIC PLAN IS BUILD ON THE FOUND DIGSAL COMMITMENT OF THE CULTURE AND CLIMATE THAT PROMOTES HOPE AND RESILIENCY. SO FOR US, THAT STARTS
WITH OUR CLIMATE AND CULTURE NORMS. IN OUR DISTRICT THAT RESONATED FROM YOU KNOW EVERY LEVEL AND EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL AND EVERY SINGLE TEACHER AND EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM REALLY KIND OF HOLDING THESE CLIMATE AND CULTURE NORMS AS THE VALUES BY WHICH WE ARE BUILDING
THE FOUNDATION FOR OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND ULTIMATELY FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR STUDENTS. SO THIS IS WHERE OUR STRATEGIC PLAN WORK IS. WE STILL HAVE WAYSES TO GO IN ORDER TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN MEASURE SUCCESS AND TALK
ABOUT WHAT THOSE METRICS ARE AND THOSE ASSESSMENTS. AND SO, HERE IS SOME OF THE NEXT STEPS. WE ARE GOING TO DO AN INTERNAL, EXTERNALLAL ROLL-OUT OF THE PLAN. WE DON'T WANT TO DO A SUN GEL BIG EVENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE WE ROLL THE WHOLE
THING OUT BUT RATHER WE'LL TALK ABOUT ONE CORNERSTONE COMMITMENT AT A TIME AND FOCUS ON ONE AT A TIME. THROUGHOUT THIS SCHOOL YEAR ALONG WITH THE INITIATIVES THAT GO WITH THOSE COMMIT 7S BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO OVERWHELM THE SYSTEM. YOU KNOW ALL AT ONCE
AGAIN, ALO OF THESE THINGS VARIOUS PROGRESS POINTS THROUGHOUT THE INITIATIVES AND THEN, THEN, AFAN, WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE METRICS OF SUCCESS, THOSE MEASUREMENTS OF SUCCESS, HOW WE ARE GOING TO MEASURE THAT, HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET A BASE LAIN, THEN REPORTING ON
THAT, THAT INVOLVES REPORTING AND DETERMINING ASSESSMENTS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IS AUTOS SY. THE REST ARE NOT AS EASY SO WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THAT. WITH THAT, RAY AND I HAVE HERE TO TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS. I HOPE YOU ARE AS EXCITED AS WE ARE.
YES. MY QUESTION WOULD BE ABC NEWS COMMUNICATION NOT JUST TO THE SYSTEM BUT TO THE COMMUNITY HOW ARE WE PLANNING TO DO THAT? >> GREAT. THAT IS REALLY GREAT WE 234-6789 WE WILL START
PLANNING SOME EVENTS TO TALK TO OUR DOM MACHINE TY ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLAN. THAT IS HAPPENING THROUGH THE FALL HERE. FOR EXAMPLE. WE'LL HAVE KIND OF THE SAME THE WAY THAT I HAVE MY STATE OF THE DISTRICT EVENT WITH KIND OF OUR VIP EVENT WHERE WE INVITED A LOT OF THE
BUSINESS LEADERS ELECTED OFFICIALS ET CETERA WE'LL DO SOMETHING LIKE THAN YOU THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WHERE WE GO THROUGH KIND OF THIS THIS TRA TEENIC PLAN AND DIRECTION THAT WE ARE GOING WILL OFFER OPPORTUNITY FORCE FAMILIES AND STAFF TO SEE KIND OF A BIG
OVERVIEW BUT AS FAR AS THE DEEPER DIVE, THAT WOULD BE KIND OF THAT GRADUAL ROLL-OUT. >> GREAT. DIRECTOR MYERS. >> WOW, THANK YOU. A REALLY GOOD PRESENTATION.
AM GOING TO SAY, I WILL DO THIS QUICKLY. ALWAYS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. I JUST THINK THAT IS THE BEST SIGN OF A THRIVING SCHOOL. AND WE ARE OUTPERFORMING IN THE HE DENVER METRO AREA. WE ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. OF COURSE, I THINK
READING IS KEY TO EVERY SUBJECT. UNDER THE STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION, I KNOW THAT WE CAN TEACH BALANCE AND OUR KIDS WANT TO LEARN BALANCE. WE ARE HEARING IT IN SAG. WE ARE HEARING LIT THE YOUTH COMMISSION. THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW TO
DO THINGS AND DO THEM SUCCESSFUL. THEY WANT TO TACKLE THOSE PROBLEMS SO THEY CAN BE READY WITH TECHNOLOGY AND THEY CAN BE READY TO USE IT WISELY. AND THEN ESSENTIAL MIENS SETHS AND DISPOSITIONS RESILIENCY.
WE HERE IT ALL THE TIME. I FEEL LIKE WE SEE IT MORE AND MORE. OF COURSE I AM IN THAT GROUP OF KIDS THAT COMMUNICATE VERY WELL WITH ADULTS THEY ARE JUST, IT BLOWS MY MIND. WITH SOME OF THE KIDS THAT I SEE THAT HAVE COME THROUGH THE SCHOOL
SYSTEM. THEY TALK ABOUT IT. AND EVEN WANTING TO RELATE TO THEIR PEERS
ABOUT OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM IS THRIVING. OUR TEACHERS ARE HAPPY. THEY ARE BUILDING. THEY ARE BUILDING CULTURE. THEY ARE BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. YOU CAN FEEL IT WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE SCHOOLS. AND IT STARTS WITH NEW
TEACHER DAY ALONG WITH OUR SCHOOL VISITS. AND IT IS SUCH A POSITIVE THING. SOMETHING I KNOW I EX EXPERIENCED WHEN I WAS TEACHING AND STARTED IN '97 AND COMING BACK STRONG NOW. IT IS JUST HOW THEY ARE
HAPPY HERE. AND DOUGLAS COUNTY IS OFFERING ALL THESE SKILLS TO ALL STUDENTS IS WHAT THE GOOD THING REALLY IS. THEY ARE GETTING FORD THE WORKFORCE. THEY WILL HAVE LIFE SKILLS. I KNEE OUR KIDS ARE
REACHING AND THEY ARE REALIZING WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL. WE HAVE A WONDERFUL LEADER. WE HAVE A GREAT CABINET. HE HAVE GOOD TEACHERS. WE HAVE HAPPY TEACHERS. WE GOT JUST SUCCESS THAT
KIND OF IS JUST SOMETIMES OVERWELL 78S WHEN YOU TALK TO TEACHERS SO NOW BEING IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF BARD MEMBERS, IT USED TO BE VISIT SCHOOLS AND YOU KNOW TALK TO THE PRINCIPAL AND NOW YOU LIKE YOU ARE TALKING TO THEM AND JUST SEEING THE
SUCCESS SO THIS PLAN IS I THINK GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO THRIVE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. SO THANK YOU. >> CAN I ADD ONE PIECE OF THAT. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, PART OF ONE OF THE SCENARIOS THAT EMERGED FROM THE CABINET WAS CONCEPT OF
LIVING IN A MIX WORLD REALITY WHICH IS NAVIGATING THE DIGITAL WORLD AND NAVIGATING THE TELL PHYSICAL WORLD. IT HAS BEEN THE PHYSICAL WORLD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN, NOW, THIS WHOLE MU WORLD IS THAT DUMBING
TALL. ONE OF THENG THISES THAT EMERGED IN THE CONVERSATIONS WITH STUDENT WAS THEY WANTED TO FOY CUSS ON THE HUMAN COP ANYTHINGS AND THE PHYSICAL WORLD. THEY WERE SAYING WE PLAY AROUND IN THAT OTHER WORLD BUT WE REALLY NEED TO BE CONFIDENT ABOUT
BEING SOCIAL BEING ENGAGED WITH PEOPLE. AND THEY SAID THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO GET THEM, THAT IS FOG GET THEM AHEAD, SO I WAS SOMETHING THAT EMERGED THAT WHOLE THEME CAME OUT OF THE CABINET'S WORK WITH REACKING PLAUSIBLE FUTURE AND THAT ONE LEAVING IN A
MIXED WORLD REALITY SEVERAL OF THE GROUPS TALKED ABOUT IT. WHAT YOU WERE SAYING IS DEAD ON. THEY WANT BOTH. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.
EVEN LONGER TO COOK NOW. ALL RIGHT. YOUR PRESENTATION GAVE ME HOPE AND OPTIMISM AND THE PLAN I THINK IS GREAT AND I THINK YOU DID A GREAT JOB CAPTURING EVERYTHING I WAS HEARING IN THE DIFFERENT FEEDBACK
GROUPS OR LIKE A POSTER YOU HAD OF THE PRESENTATION. I FORGET WHERE ELSE. I THINK DID YOU A GREAT JOB THERE. I REALLY APRERN ATE HOW A LOT OF TIMES WITH THE PLANS THEY CAN BE REALLY BROD AND HARD TO GET EXCITED ABOUT THEM. I LIKE HOW YOU DIVE INTO
SPECIFICS. AS SELFISHLY AS AS YOUNG PARENT I AM EXCITED FOR THIS. EXCITE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND I THINK COMMUNICATION ON THIS CAN ONLY HELP THE
COMMUNITY BUS A LOT OF THINGS I THINK THEY WILL APPRECIATE WE ARE FOCUSING ON IT AND DO HAVE IDEAS, GOALS AROUND IT. I THINK WILL BE GREAT AND I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE ON THE TIME LYNNE AND SPECIFICS AS THEY HAPPEN. SO GREAT START. >> THANKS.
>> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. SO YOU TALKED ABOUT WHAT DO WE INSPIRE? I AM THINKING, WELL, WHAT DO I AFIRE FOR THE
DISTRICT INFOR ME IT IS MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE OFFERING COMPREHENSIVE AND CONSISTENT LEARNING TUNES FOR ALL OF THE STUDENTS. SO AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE PLAN AND DIFFERENT COMPONENTS OF IT. I AM TRYING TO SEE WHERE WE ARE GOING TO MAKE
SURE THAT THIS PLAN INCLUDES CLOSING THE GAPS OR SERVING LEARNERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. HOW DOES THAT TIE IN? INTENTIONAL WAY. >> ABSOLUTELY. THANK SO YOU MUCH FOR
THE QUESTION. CERTAINLY IN ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK BECAUSE IF I NED TO BE A LITTLE MORE EX-POLICE SIT WE CAN BE. BUZZ ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE HAS, ALL OF THESE COMMITMENTS HAVE TO SPEAK TO EVERY STUDENT AND SO THAT, THAT GOES
UNDER ALL THESE CAT GO CAT FOR IS ARE CERTAINLY ACADEMICKENCE LENS IS SOMETHING WE CAN EASILY MEASURE AND RESPOND TO THOSE GAPS THEN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING WHICH IS PART OF THE EXCELLENCE PIECE WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO DIG INTO
TO MAKE SURE WE ARE BEING RESPONSIVE FOR EVERY SINGLE STUDENT AND SO THROUGHOUT THESE IT IS IMPLIED IT IS FOR ALL STUDENT AND THRIVING SCHOOLS AND COME HUNS TO
MAKE SURE WE ARE OFFERING A CONTINUING OF PROGRAMMING THAT ADDRESSES EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR STUDENTS SO THAT IS WHERE THAT IS KIND OF WOVEN IN IF WE NEED TO BE MORE INTENTIONAL WE CAN DO
THAT. WAY THAT IS UNIVERSAL PRI OR TIN THE SYSTEM. I AM GOING TO GUESS IT. I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE CLEARLY REPRESENTED.
THAT IS A GIVEN. >> IT SPEAKS TO ALL STUDENTS. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. I WILL GO INTO ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS BUT I DID HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGE AM PIECE.
WILL WE SEE SUMMARIES OF THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT? HAVE A DRAFT REPORT THAT ONCE THE INITIATIVES ARE ALL IDENTIFIED THAT WE'LL PUT OUT. ALL THE DATA IN ONE BIG FILE. THAT IS ALL AVAILABLE AS
WELL. SO YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH THE DATA N WE HAVE A WHITE PAPER TO EYE. FY THE KEY OUTCOMES THAT EMERGE FROM COMMUNITY GROUP AND TEACHER GROUPS ET CETERA. >> YEAH. JUST BACKING OFF P.
YEAH. SHOWING THE FEEDBACK THE FEEDBACK IS BEING HEARD AND THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THAT WILL HELP WITH COMMUNICATION AND TO FAMILIES AND DIRECTOR EARLIER SO FAMILY CAN SEE THIS IS WHAT YOU
TOLD US THIS IS HOW WE REBEING RESPONSIVE. WILL THE HONER TO AND THE REPORT ON THE FRAMEWORK BE TIED INTO OUR BOARD GIVEERNANCE? I WAS THINKING LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OUTCOMES THAT IS A LOT OF WHAT I WAS SEEING
THROUGH THE PRESENTATION BUT CURIOUS IF THAT IS WHAT WE ARE THINKING. YEAH. THE MONITORING WILL BE TIED TO MONITOR AND THE END STATEMENTSES SO THAT IS KIND OF WHERE IT WOULD TIE IN BECAUSE THE PLAN IS DIRECT FLOW OUT
OF YOUR END SO THAT IS WHERE THE MONITORING PIECE. THE STRUCTURE THAT LOOK LOOKS THE PLAN. YEAH. OK.
THAT MAKES SENSE. THEN, SO YOU MENTIONED EARLIER ABOUT SOME SERVICES WE WOULD NEED TO STOP RIGHT? IT MEANS STOPPING. WHAT ARE THINGS THAT ARE
COMING TO MIND. THE THINGS THAT CAME TO MY MIND OF REQUIRED BY THE STATE AND I AM LIKE, OH, YEAH. YEAH. WE HAVE TO FIX THAT FIRST. YEAH. WE HAVE ACTUALLY, WE HAVE A SYSTEM CALLED
ECOSYSTEM THAT A COUPLE OF US PLAY WITH AND ONE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE IS, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO GIVE THINGS UNITED STATES THE STATE HAS THINGS YOU MUST DO AND A BIG, THERE IS A BIG, YOU KNOW, YOU SAY WE COULD STOP DOING THAT.
PEOPLE SAY NO YOU CAN NOT. THE STATE WANTS YOU TO DO THAT. PART OF WHAT WE ARE SEEING NOW. WE ARE TRYING TO DO SOME SCOUTING OUT IN THE FIELD AND I THINK, I HI, KNOW SOME PEATSES OF THAT BUT WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO A COUPLE OF GROUPS THAT ARE USING AI
TO REALLY DO A REALLY DEEP ASSESSMENT OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY NEEDED TO BE TAUGHT TO PETE THE ASSESSMENT STANDARDS BREAK IT DOESN'T AND A
COUPLE OF COMPANIES THAT HAVE GOT IN REAL GOOD AT THIS. AND TO THE POINT THEY CAN, THEY CAN EYE PRESIDENT FY TAKING EVERYTHING YOU TEACH, WHAT IS IT THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT? THEN WHAT CAN YOU LET GO OF SO YOU CAN START TO
CREATE ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT RY SEEN ON HERE. AND GETTING THEM TOLL HAVE THOSE THINGS. IT IS INTERESTING. YOU NO HE I WOULD ADD
YOU ARE RIGHT. THERE ARE A LOT OF NUMBER OF THINGS WE HAVE IDENTIFIEDED THAT ARE STATE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE AVOIDING AND SHOULDN'T BE ON OUR PLANTS ANY MORE. WE ARE WORKING THAN IN
TERMS OF WHEN WE TALK ABOUT YOUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES THEN AS WE WORK WITH OUR LOBBYISTS OTHER THINGS CAN BE TAKEN OFF THE PLATE BAY OUR USE OF LEVERAGE AI
TO SAVE PEOPLE A LOT OF TIME ON TASKS. BUT WE CAN DO AT THIS TIME FASTER MORE EFFICIENTLY AND ALSO FOR THINGS LIKE DATA ANALYSIS IT WILL HELP AS WE DO THOSE LEARNING
COMMUNITIES AND WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE AI HELP WITH US THE DATA AND AND OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS. SO A LOT OF WORK IN THOSE AREAS TO SAVE THE TEACHERS TIME AS WE ARE
PICKING OUP IN THIS OTHER THINGS. THAT MCAS I WAS SAYING EARLIER WITH WHAT ARE THE RITE CALL SKILLS WE CAN SEE TEAM OUR KIDS THEY GAIN SKILL.
THAT IS GOING TO BE. BLENDING THOSE TOGETHER AM WE CAN MOVE MUCH FASTER. OH A. BY THE WAY, THINK THIS DISTRICT IS WELL POSITIONED FOR THAT. IS THERE AROUND. LET'S BOTTLE OUP AND USE
IT. HE SAYS WE ARE THE BEST. A LOT OF BRAINSTORMING AND IDEA GENERATE AND WHAT ARE POTENTIALS THEN I REMEMBER AS I AS A TOOL TO HELP WITH
ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS ET CETERA. I WOULD CAUTION AGAINST USING IT. THE HAVE TO IN CORPORATE A TON OF INFORMATION THAT YOU SHOWN BE PUTTING INTO AI.
>> OF COURSE. AXE ALSO THERE 6789? OF COURSE. OF COURSE. SO, I WAS CURIOUS IS ABOUTED OFF WHAT IS HERE AND THE TRAGEDIES WHERE
DOES PENT LEARNING SCHOOLS FALL IN? THE REASON I AM ASKING THIS IS IS THERE IMPORTANT IMPORTANT YOU MADE ABOUT CONTENT NOT JUST CONTENT BUT BUILDING SKILLS RIGHT? EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING AND THOSE TIPS OF PRAC
CALL LIFE SKILLS THEY GOT TO BE PART. THEY UNTIL THE TO BE PART OF HOW INSTRUCTION IS DEE-DEE SIGNED THESE DAYS. IT IS, IT IS CRITICAL. AND THERE HAS BEEN LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT GOING ON. YOU ARE RIGHT.
THEY CRITICAL. SO THE REASON WE HAVE THAT. IF I CAN POP OVER HERE. THIS INTERESTED IT A THAT PRACTICAL LIFE
SKILLS PIECE IS REALLY ABOUT EXPLICITLY TEACH THINGS LIKE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING. MOST KIDS DON'T PICK THAT UP RIGHT. THEY NEED INSTRUCTION HE IS IN THOSE AREAS SO BUILD BUILDING THAT,
BUILDING THAT SPIRALING PROGRAMMING FROM PK UP THROUGH 12th GRATE THAT IS A LOT WHERE THAT HAS TO BE BUILD IN. OK. WAY LIKE TECHNICALLY I WOULD COULD SAY, ALL
RIGHT, IT IS GOING TO FOLLOW UNDER I THINK I FOUND ONE. THE DEVELOP AND GROW FINANCIAL PRAC CALL SKILLS MAYBE IT FALLS UNDER ALMOST WONDER IF
IT SHOULD BE PULLED OUT. WE OFFER GROWING IN THE DISTRICT RIGHT. IT IS NOT NEW ONE BUT IMPORTANT ONE TO HIGH LIGHT AND FOCUS ON. WELL, IS THERE TRAGEDIES THAT MAYBE SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED AND BECAUSE
THEY DON'T FEEL NECESSARILY NOVEL THAT THEY ALIGN WITHLE WITH THE PLAN. YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. TRULY A LOT OF THESE WERE AT SOME POINT
ALREADY. SOME HIGH SCHOOL FACE-TO-FACE AND TEACH US HOW TO BUILD A PLAN.
AND SO I THINK YOU KNOW PART OF THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THE ROLE OF THE TEACHER THAT IS WHAT WE DID. AND YOU ARE MAKING
EARLIER ON. WE HAVE DONE FOCUS GROUPS. AND SCHOOL RESPONSIBLES WITH LIKE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL AND ACTIVITIES ET CETERA AND THAT AGAIN THAT IS ANOTHER PLACE
WHERE THOSE FUNCTIONAL SKILLS REALLY COME INTO PLAY SO MAYBE IT IS NOT NECESSARILY LESS HOMEWORK AND THEY NEED MOREPORTS ON HOW TO DO TIME MANAGEMENT AND HOW TO PLAN FOR ASSIGNMENTS AND BUILD THEIR SCHEDULES AROUND THAT. OK.
SOME GET OVERSCHEDULED BY THE PARENTS AS WELL. THE OTHER THING IS WE HAVE A HE ROBUST STRATEGY AND I WONDER THE PROCESS OF PIVOTING IF WE NEED TO PIVOT. MAKE IT IS NO WORKING SO
AI FOR EXAMPLE, WE CANNOT SEE THE FUTURE RIGHT NOW. AI IS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY, RIGHT. BUT WE ARE ALSO HEARING CHALLENGES WITH SO MANY PEOPLE USING IT YOU HAVE
TO HAVE RESOURCE FOR AI RIGHT INIT REQUIRES A LOT OF POWER, LAND, AND THAT THEY ACTUALLY THINK THAT IT IS GOING TO PEAK AND USAGE BECAUSE THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH INFRASTRUCTURE RIGHT TO MEET THE GROWING DEMAND. SO THERE IS THAT. THEN, ALSO, THE FACT
THAT WE NOW HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE INTENTIONALLY FLOODING THE INTERNET WITH FALSE INFORMATION THOUSANDS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ARTS AT A TIME TO CONFUSE AI AND THE LEARNING MODELS. SO AGAIN I THINK LIKE WHAT IF WE GET TO THIS
POINT WHERE ITSELF DOE STRUCKORS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OUR ABILITY TO PIVOT I THINK IT IS A USEFUL TOOL AND GREAT TOOL FOR ACCESSIBILITY. ESPECIALLY WITH LIKE SOME OF THIS HE LANGUAGE OPPORTUNITIES THAT AI OFFERS FOR STUDENTS LIKE DISK LEX YA FIRST THOUGHT THAT COMES TO
MIND FOR ME BUT ALSO, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT IF WE DO HAVE TO PIVOT? WE ARE NOT PUTTING TOO MANY EGGS IN THAT PASS KET WITH HOW WE ARE RUNNING THINGS. WELL, I THINK WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE READY TO PIVOT WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WITH WE ARE NOT MAKING A STATIC 20 PAGE DOCUMENT THAT IS
GOING TO SIT ON THE SHELF FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THEN ONE OF THE REASONS WE NEED TO PUT SO MUCH EMPHASIS INTO THAT PRACTICAL LIFE SKILLS AND MINDSETS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT DIGITAL WORLD IS GOING TO BE FLOODED WITH SO
MUCH FAKE VIDEOS OR SO MAN THINK UNG THIS IS HAPPENING ALREADY. WHERE IT WILL BE SO HARD TO TELL IN THE DIGITAL WORLD THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY AND FANTASY EVENTUALLY. THAT MEANS THAT IN A LOT
OF WAYS WE VERY TO DOUBLE DOESN'T ON THOSE PRACTICAL SKILLS IN PERSON. AS WELL AS DOUBLING DOWN ON HOW CAN YOU RITECALLY ANALYZE SOMETHING TO DETERMINE WHAT MAY BE REAL AND WHAT YOU SHOULD QUESTION AND LOOK AT THE SKEPTICALLY SO ALL OF THAT IS BAKED IN FOR SURE. I APPRECIATE YOU TALK.
THAT THE DEPENDENCE ON AI AND STILL DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS THEN EYE DEPARTMENT FY THAT INFORMATION AND MAY BE THE MOST USEFUL THING WE CAN GET. >> 100%. WHO KNOWS. >> BUT, UM, THE OTHER THING WAS THE THINKING
ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND IMPORTANT IT IS GREAT IT IS A CORNERSTONE THE ONLY TECHNOLOGY, OH MY GOSH, TRAGEDY NOW THAT IS LISTED IS AI BUT I WAS WONDERING WHAT ABOUT OTHER TYPES OF SOFTWARE LAKE YOU KNOW, THE MICROSOFT THE WORD
DOCUMENT. >> I DID LOOKER THOM SOENSON I APPRECIATE YOUR QUESTIONS I FEEL LAKE MAYBE THEY ARE MORE FOR NEEDS THAN RIGHT NOW.
AND THE PLAN RIGHT NOW. SPECIFICS ON AI AND THAT? OH A. OK. WILL STOP. >> DIRECTOR. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCISION.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE OF KNIT. ONE OF THE REASONS WE HIRE WROUGHTSIDE CONSULTANTS BECAUSE WE NEED YOUR ANALYSIS. I WAS STRUCK A NUMBER OF TIMES YOU TALKED ABOUT TEACHING OUR KIDS CONSTRUCTIVE FAILURE. FREEDOM TO FAIL. MY FIRST DA BOSS SO NO
TRIAL ATTORNEY EVER LEARNED ANYTHING FROM A TRIAL THEY WON. YOU IS NOT UNTIL THINK JURY TELLS YOU NO. BUT I WILL TELL YOU ONE OF THE KEMPS READING THIS HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT ALLEVIATED. I WENT BACK TO YOUR SLIDE WHERE TALKED ABOUT
THE GOOD WE WANT TO PRESERVE. NOWHERE IN THIS SLIDE DECK DOES IT TALK ABOUT ANALYZING THE FAILURES? DOES IT MENTION WE WENT BACK TO LOOK AT WHERE WE COULD DO BET EAR WENT BACK DOZEN AUC TAD THINGS WE ARE NOT DOING WELL.
I LOVE OUR DISTRICT. I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THE DIRECTOR MYERS SAID ABOUT THAT BUT CAN YOU EXPAND HOW THAT? I WAS AT THE MEETINGS. THERE WERE CONCERNS AND RITECISMS UTTERED AND THEY DON'T KNOW UP IN THIS SLIDE DECK SO I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEY
ARE GOING TO SHOW UP. HOW YOU ARE GOING TO HELP US CREATE SOLUTIONS TO THOSE PROBLEMS. YEAH. THE FACT THERE IS A LIST OF THE TENSIONS THAT WERE, YOU KNOW, THAT WERE EXPOSED BUT PART OF THE CONVERSATIONS OF BEHIND ALL OF THIS, AND I MEAN, WAS, THIS WAS,
YOU KNOW, THEY SAID DO IT IN 15MEN MS THEN THESE ARE LIKE A HIGH LEVEL LOOK AT THE TOP PIECES. WHAT YOU NEED TO NO HE, THERE HAS BEEN DAYLONG EVENTS WHERE THE CABINET MEMBERS AS WELL LOOKING AT THE ISSUES AND TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT, OK, WHAT PROGRAMS, ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE THEM FOR YOU. WHAT PROGRAMS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE THAT ARE WORKING THAT ARE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS AND ONE OTHER PROGRAM SHOULD WE THINK ABOUT MAYBE PUSHING ASIDE SO
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF THAT CONVERSATION ACTUALLY JUST ABOUT A MONTH AGO, A MONTH AND A DAY FROM TODAY. THOSE ARE HAPPENING IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSE TO BE HONEST. OPEN ABOUT IT. BUZZ IN THE WHITE PAPER REPORT IT WILL TALK THE
TENSIONS THAT SURFACED AND PART OF IT IS HOW DO WE BUILD THE STRUCTURAL PLAN UNDER THE CORNERSTONES AND I HIRNTIVES THAT KIND OF SOLVE THAT? I MEAN, IT IS NOT, IT IS NOT ANALYSIS WE WOULD DO. IT IS ANALYSIS WE HAVE TO DO WITH THEM.
YOU NO? >> I FULLY AGREE. WHAT I AM SAYING IS IF WE ARE FOG TELL OUR STUDENT AND OUR STAFF YOU HAVE TO FAIL TO SUCCEED. IF OUR FORWARD FACING
DOWNS DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE PHYSICALLURES WE ARE NOT SETTING THE EXAMPLE WE HAVE TO MAKE. AND UNDERSTOOD TO SELL PRIT. I WANT TO BE SURE THAT OUR PLAN PROCESS ALSO HONESTLY REVIEWS WHERE
WE HAVE OVER THE LAST FIVE, TEN YEARS HAD THINGS THAT DIDN'T WORK. AGAIN THAT IS NOT IN THIS SLIDE DECK. BUT IF IT IS GOING ON. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE WHITE PAPER GETTING US THERE.
THAT WAS A CONCERN WE HAD. WE HAD SWEETNESS IN A LYING IN THIS. THERE IS AED IF REASON FOR THAT. WE GOT A GOODIES STRICK AND ACHING GREAT DEAL. I WANTED TO COMMENT THAT MY CONCERN WAS WE ARE NOT BEING RITE CALL ENOUGH OF OURSELVES OR
OOKLY AS IMPORTANTLY THE MONEY WE PAID YOU INVOLVED YOU BEING CRITICAL OF US AS WELL. >> WE TO. ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT THIS PLAN, WE HAVE TO THINK OF IT AS A COMPASS. NOT A PLAN. 3:00 AND THIS IS WHERE WE ARE HEAD. THIS IS WHERE DOUGLAS
COUNTY IS HEADED. AND THE POINT ABOUT IT. I THINK I SAID THIS IN THE BEGINNING. YOU HAVE TO BE CLEAR ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE GOING. BUT NOT BE SO CERTAIN ABOUT HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET THERE BECAUSE IN MANY STRA EM TOOK IN PLANS THAT YOU SEE LAID IT, THAT ARE, NOW HE,
POINT BY POINT BY POINT, THEY NEVER GET ANYWHERE, WHY? BECAUSE THEY GOT A PLAN THAT DOESN'T WORK. SO THE PIVOTING AND THE ABILITY OF A SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO BE FLEXIBLE AND MOVE QUICKLY AND IT DOESN'T HAVE SO MUCH PAPERWORK AND STRUCTURE
IN IT THAT YOU CANNOT, YOU CANNOT PIVOT THE DISTRICT HAS, THE DISTRICT'S POSITIONING OF ITSELF TO MOVE QUICKLY. PART OF WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS, WHERE DO WE START TO DO SOME OF THIS WORK INLET'S FIND A SMALL UNIT. SOMEWHERE OUT IN THE
SYSTEM. THAT THERE IS A LOT OF ENTHUSE. LET'S GET THEM TO START THEN SEE WHERE WE GO AND MAKE THE PLAN BASED OFF THE ACTUAL SUCCESS IN THE SYSTEM. RATHER THAN TRYING TO DO AT THIS TIME AT ONCE. SO WE ARE WORKING ON IT.
STILL, IT IS NOT EVEN JELLO YET. THAT PART. >> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD OF COURSE OUR STRA TIMIC PLAN AT THE 100,000-FOOT LEF REL SO YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT A BULLETED LIST OF YOU KNOW GOING
TO LEARN ITS VERY MUCH AT A HIGH LEVEL JUST OF COURSE WE ARE FOG STILL IN TEACHING OUR KIDS TECHNOLOGY HOW TO USE SOFTWARE PACKAGE AND ART AND MUSIC AND PE. ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
THTHAT IS ALL TAKEN FOR GRANTED. BUT THESE ARE THE AREAS WHERE WE ARE REALLY GOING TO BE INTENTIONAL AS WE MOVE OURSELF TOLL THE FUTURE BECAUSE WE CAN'T, WE CANNOT LOOK AT A LIST OF 1,000 THINGS THEN SAY HONESTLY WE ARE BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT
1,000 THINGS RIGHT. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE INTENTIONAL ADDS A SYSTEM TO HELP MOVE INTO THE FUTURE. OUR KIDS ARE STILL LEARNING SO MANY AMAZING THINGS IN OUR SCHOOLS THEN THEY WILL ABC THATLY CONTINUE TO LEARN AMAZING THINGS IN OUR SCHOOLS AND WE WILL ALWAYS LEARN FROM OUR
FAILURES AS PART OF THE CLOI MATE AND CULTURE NORMS AND IS SAFE MISS TANGS THAT MEANS LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES THAT MEANS GETTING UP AFTER FAILING RESILIENCY SPEAKS TO THAT LEARNING FROM YOUR FAILURES ON CONCEPT AND
YOU KNOW AS A DISSTRUCK WE CERTAINLY ALWAYS WANT TO LEARN FROM OUR FAIL OARS AND LEARN FROM THE PAST AND A LOT OF THIS WAS INFORMED ON MYSELF AND MY CABINET AND IN FACT RAY AND HIS TEAM HEARD US TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE DISTRICT'S PAST QUITE EXPLICITLY AND WE ARE WERE LIKE, YEAH. WE DON'T WANT TO USE LANGUAGE LIKE X JAY-Z BECAUSE WE SEND OUR TEACHERS IN A PLANNIC POW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT WE LEARN FROM HOW THINGS HAVE BEEN PUSHED DOWN IN
THE PAST SO WE CAN SET OURSELVES UP FOR MORE SUCCESS. AND DO SOMETHING MORE REALISTIC. TOES THAT SPEAK MORE TO WHAT YOU PROSECUTOR ASKING. >> IT SPEAKS TO IT. I AM KNOTS SURPRISED TO HEAR IT. I THINK THAT WHEN WE SAY THIS IS HOW WE ARE DEVELOPING IT. IT HELPS TO SAY THAT OUT
LOUD. >> THANKS. THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO HEAR. >> THANK YOU. I LIKE IT. >> IT IS IMPORTANT. >> OK. I ALSO VIEW THE STRATEGIC PLAN AS TODAY, TONIGHT, OVERVIEW, MORE LOOK WHAT YOU SAID FROM THE BEGINNING, THIS IS ABOUT HOPE RIGHT?
THIS IS ABOUT WHAT OUR GOALS AND WHAT WE ARE STRIVING FOR AS WE ROLL IT OUT. I ACUM. >> WE'LL GET TO MORE DID HE TAIL AS THAT COMES AROUND. YEAH. >> IT IS THAT FIND PALANCE BETWEEN SOMEONE WHO SPENDS MOST OF THE TIME ON THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION BUT WHEN I MEET WITH PEOPLE THEY ARE THE PRESS SEASON AND
WHAT HAS DEN ON. SO, YOU KNOW, TO GET TO SYSTEM TO MOVE TO THE FUTURE, IT IS A BIG SHIFT. AND SO, THAT IS, I MEAN, THAT IS PART OF THIS WORK IS EMERGING AND IT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE PAINFUL HER AND THERE IN THE SYSTEM. >> YEAH. >> IT HAS BEEN FUN.
>> YEAH. >> FUN WORK. THANKS SO MUCH. >> APPRECIATE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU ALL. >> THANKS. >> ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT M AM WE ARE MOVING INTO THE POLICY
GOVERNANCE SECTION. THE AGENDA SO MOVING INTO THE APPROVAL OF THE BOARD BUDGET REVISIONS, SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A COUPLE OF DISCUSSIONS. WILL LET DIRECTOR THOMPSON KICK US OFF BUT I DO BELIEVE THERE WERE A COUPLE DISCUSSIONS WE
WERE GOING TO REVISIT. >> ALL RIGHT. SO THE DOCUMENT THAT IS ON THE SCREEN NOW HAS LAST YEAR'S BUDGET SO OUR ADOPTED BUDGET THE FINAL REVISED BUDGET
WHAT THE ACTUALS WERE AND THEN OUR ADOPTED BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR AND THEN THE DIFFERENCE AND I HAD THE LAST TIME WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ACTUALS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT TIME YET FOR THE END OF THE
YEAR SO NOW INCLUDES THE FULL ACTUALS FROM LAST YEAR WHICH I THINK IS HELPLE FOR THE CONVERSATION AND JUST SOME UPDATES ON AT THE END OF LAST YEAR, OR TOWARD THE END OF LAST YEAR, WE DISDISCOVERRED WE SAVED QUITE A BIT IN
ELECTION FEES. AND SO, WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT DIFFERENT WAYS WE COULD REPURPOSE THOSE FUNDS AND ONE OF THE WAYS WE DISCUSSED WAS UPDATING OUR SOFTWARE. AND WE ALLOCATED 100,000
FOR THE TECHNOLOGY AND THE COSTS LUCKILY CAME IN VERY REASONABLE AND WE ARE AT AROUND $20,000 FOR THE COST OF THAT. IT IS ANNUAL COST. SO WE WILL DEFINITELY BE UNDER BUDGET FOR TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT. THE OTHER THING WE
TALKED ABOUT WAS THE DOCK, BEING ABLE TO PILOT THE DOCK HAVING YOU KNOW, BEING LIVE STREAMED AND THE COST FOR THAT AND SO DUE TO THE FACT WE ARE SAVED SO
MUCH, MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE USE SOME OF THE SAVINGS THAT WE HAVE UNDER TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT TO PURPOSE FOR THE DOCK PILOT AND POTENTIALLY WE DECIDE WE LIKE IT AND THAT IS HELPFUL AND USEFUL AND THAT MAY HAVE HELPED FUND IT FOR THE REST OF
THE YEAR AS WELL. >> GREAT THEN THE LAST PART WAS, WE HAD ADDITION TO OUR BUDGET UNDER DUES AND FEES. IT IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER BECAUSE OF THINK COLORADO SCHOOL FINANCE
PROJECT DUES COMING OUT OF THE BOARD BUDGET AND SO THAT IS THE INCREASE THERE AND THERE WAS ISCUSSION ABOUT IF WE NEDDED TO REALLOCATE FUNDS TO PAY FOR THAT AND WE SHOULD MAYBE CONSIDER IF WE IN WITH A TO CONTINUE OUR MEMBERSHIP SO WE ALL HAD A PRESENTATION TONIGHT
AND I FIGURED IT WOULD BE BEST TO OPEN THE FLOOR AROUND OUR THOUGHTS AND TAKEAWAYS ARE THE PRESENTATION. SO YEAH. SURE. SO I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME QUESTIONS SUPERINTENDENT CAME AROUND CSFP AND
WHAT WHAT THE DISTRICT PROVIDES THAT IS KIND OF OVERLAP AND THAT SORT OF THING. WAY THANKS FOR THAT QUESTION I WILL HAVE CFO COME UP AND ANSWER THAT. WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE
ALL OF THE WORK THAT CSFP DOES FOR MANY DISTRICTS ACROSS OUR STATE. HOWEVER I AM ALSO REALLY PROUD OF THE INCREDIBLE EXPERTISE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT HERE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY AND WITH CFO SO SHE COULD TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THAT.
YEAH. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION. AND I THINK LAST TIME, I DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO RECOGNIZE WHAT SHE DOES DO FOR THE STATE AND FOR SCHOOL FINANCE YOU KNOW? AT THE CAPITAL AND THE DIFFERENT REPORTING AND INFORMATION SHE PUSHED OUT TO US.
SO I REALLY DO APPRECIATE SHE PENT THE TIME TALKING SOME OF WHAT SHE DOES BECAUSE THEY REALLY DO A LOT OF GREAT THINGS. WHERE I ALWAYS STRUGGLE IS THE FEE STRUCTURE OF SCHOOL FINANCE PROJECT AND SO WE PAY ON A PER
PUPIL PASS SISS SO WE PAY $25,000 INTO SCHOOL FINANCE PROJ LOOK WE ARE LOOK WHERE I WITH THIS LARGE DISTRICT TO HAVE A LOT OF IN HOUSE EXPERTISE WE ABLE TO RELY ON. WE HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CAPITAL AND OUR LOCAL POLITICIANS ALSO AND POLICY MAKERS SO THAT
PART OF IT IS NOT AS HELPFUL FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE IT. IT IS PEN FISSION FOR THE SMALLER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS STATE. THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR MODEL A LITTLE BIT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS TO FOCUS ON THE STRA EDGE
TOOIC STRATEGIC EXPERTISE THE SMALLER SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THEY DO A LOT OF TRAINING SESSIONS ALONG WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO HELP SOME OF THOSE SMALLER SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHICH AGAIN WE DON'T NEED THAT PIECE OF
IT. WE DO UTILIZE THE MONTHLY MEETINGS THAT SHE HAS FOR ALL OF US TO ATTEND. IT IS TWO AND A HALF THREE HOURS EVERY MONTH. IT DOES BRING IN SOME
POLICY AND LIENAL SLATIVE PEOPLE THAT WE MIGHT NOT HAVE ACCESS TO OTHERWISE AND GET TO HEAR SOME OF THE BACKGROUND OF WHAT THEY ARE THINKING AND HEAD. SOME OF THAT CAN BE BENEFICIAL AND STRUGGLE WITH THE FEE STRUCTURE AGAIN OF THE ACCOUNTING MAYBE GUESS TO HOW MUCH
ARE WE SPENDING AND HOW MUCH BENEFIT TO WE GET OUT OF THAT? I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE MATH TO WORK FOR AWHILE. AND TO LISTEN TO SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO AS WELL. OR AM I JUST INTERESTING
BUT NOT NECESSARILY CHANNELING OUR STANCE OR VIEWS ON THINGS. THAT IS WHERE I SIT WITH IT. AND DID AT THIS TIME USED TO BE BUDGETED UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BECAUSE IT WAS USED BY YOU AND YOU PUSH IT
TO THE BOARD BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THE BOARD COULD USE IT OR WHAT WAS THE RUNNING WHY IT IS ON THE BUDGET THIS YEAR? >> IT WAS UNDERFINANCE. UNDER MY BUDGET I DID THAT ANALYSIS THAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT AND THAT COST PEN IF IT ANALYSIS AND THOUGHT I
COULD UTILIZE THOUGH DOLLARS IN A DIFFERENT WAY. BUT STILL THOUGHT THAT THE BARD MIGHT FUND SOME VALUE IN THAT AND YOU COULD HAVE THAT ISCUSSION ON YOUR END. >> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. I GUESS FOR ME PERSONALLY IF IT IS NOT BEING USED IF WE ARE NOT
USING IT WE ARE GETTING INFO FROM YOU. I HAVE NOT USED IT SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD. I WOULD RATHER EVERYBODY THE TAXPAYERS THAT MONEY AND NOT BE PART OF THE ASSOCIATION AND YOU KNOW, IF TIME GUESS ON WE FIND WE M MISS IT AND
MEET THAT WE CAN ALWAYS REJUN I AM ASSUMING PRETTY EASILY SO THAT IS MY PERSONAL STANCES AS A BOARD MEMBER I WOULD RATHER TAVE. $25,000 A YEAR. >> YEAH. DIRECTOR. >> SO TO BE CLEAR, IF YOU OARED TO BE IN
FINANCE, YOU AS DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, DIDN'T WANT TO PEN THE MONEY AND DIDN'T FOONS THE VALUE BUT YOU WANTED TO FIFE THE BOARD THE DISCUSSION THE DISCRETION TO SPEND THAT MONEY MUN ANYWAY CORRECT TO BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION. ALL RIGHT. I WAS NOT CLEAR ABOUT THAT UNTIL TODAY.
I WANTED TO THANK YOU. NOW I UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN ABOUT YOU KNOW $25,000 HERE. $25,000 YOU ARE SPENDING REAL MONEY WITH THAT SAID, I DON'T FULLY
AFREEZE WITH THE IDEA WE SOLELY EVALUATE THIS BASED ON WHAT IT IS TO DOUGLAS COUNTY. THE DISCUSSIONS THAT THE SCHOOL FINANCE HAS WITH THE STATE THE ISCUSSIONS
THAT IT BRINGS TO ENABLE ALL DISTRICTS TO ADDRESS THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOFF NO NOR AND THE POLICYMAKERS TOGETHER IS VALUE TO US AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO VALUE, IT IS OF COURSE DIFFICULT
TO EVALUATE. HOW MUCH PEN IF IT WE GET FROM A COMMUNAL PROCESS BUT I AM NOT SURE IT IS NOT. I AM FAR FROM CONVINCED IT IS NONE. I THINK THIS IS A BAD TIME FOR US TO STEP OUT. I WILL BE VERY HONEST
WITH YOU. I THINK WE GET EXTRAORDINARY ADVICES ARE THE INTERNAL PEOPLE. WITH THAT SAID, I SUSPECT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, WE ARE GOING TO BE INTO IN CROWEDBLY CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES. WHILE SCHOOL FINANCE TOES NOT DO LOBBYING
THEY DO IT INFORMATION. AND WE ARE NOT ALWAYS ALIGNED WITH EVERY SMALL DISTRICT BE THE STATE AND ONE OF THIS THE WAYS THE LEGISLATURE GETS AWAY WHERE WITH THE STUFF THEY GET AWAY WITH IS PLAYING AUS AGAINST EACH OTHER. MORE MONEY FOR DEN REMEMBER, LESS MONEY
FROM DOUGLAS COUNTY. WE TAKE A LITTLE BIT WERE HERE AND THERE. TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER THE SITUATION THE SCHOOL FINANCE TRIES TO OBJECT TO AND TRIES TO EDUCATE AROUND. SO WHILE I UNDERSTANDS AGAIN, 25,000 IS REAL MONEY. MY POSITION IS THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO MOVE IT
TO THE BOARD, I THINK WE HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT. I THINK THERE IS A COMMUNAL RAL U IN HAVING OUR LEGISLATURES OUR GOVERNOR AND GOD BLESS HIM. BETTER INFORMED. ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON AS ASSAD, I DON'T THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL
DOWNTOWN UNDERSTAND THIS AND THE MORE AND PHYSICIAN WE ARE WILLING TO CHIP IN SOME MORE TO HELP EDUCATE THEM, I AM THINKING, I CONTINUE TO THINK THAT IS A VALUE. AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THAT IS MY OPINION. I THINK THAT PUTTING IN THE BOARD BUDGET FOR ONE OR OR TWO MORE YEARS
WHILE WE FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS SOMETHING WE CAN JUSTIFY THE SPENDING ON. >> SUPERINTENDENT. >> YEAH. I WANTED TO MENTION THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE FELT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE BOARD DISCUSSION BECAUSE IT US TRULY IT IS A IT CALL DECISION RIGHT AND A VALUE IN TERMS OF
DOUGLAS COUNTY'S POSITION IN HOBBYING AND OF THOSE LEVELS SO THAT IS WHY IT IS LESS OF A PRAGMATIC WE NEED THE WHO IS WHAT FROM X JAY-Z AND MORE DECISION ON AS THIS COLLECTIVE ADVOCACY AND NOT SEEMED
APPROPRIATE FOR AS BOARD LEVEL DISCUSSION SO I HOPE THAT PROVIDES FOR THE CONTEXT. >> SO JUST REALLY QUICKLY. MY POSITION THANK YOU BY THE WHICH FOR ANSWERING MIGHT QUESTION. IS THAT SIM HI BECAUSE
WE HAVE EXTRA FUNDS DOESN'T MEAN WE NEED OR SHOULD SPEND IT. I HAVE PERSONALLY NEVER USED ANY OF THE SERVICES THAT C CERTIFICATE FP
HAS PROVIDED AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE BARD ALMOST FOUR YEARS SO I REALLY STRUGGLE SAYING YES LET'S TAKE THAT MONEY ON. I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE, I KNOW, CFO SPENDS A TON OF TIME AT THE CAPITAL
AND IS PART OF THOSE CONFERENCES ON A REGULAR PASS SIS. I ALSO KNOW THAT THROUGH OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES WE HAVE A LOBBYIST THAT IS ALSO UP THERE LOBBYING ON BEHALF OF DOUGLAS COUNTY AND SO
I DON'T THINK THAT WE NEED A THIRD LINE OF DEFENSE THERE. I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE THAT ARE AS EFFECTIVE AS THEY CAN BE. SO THAT IS MY STANCE. DIRECTOR MYERS. >> WELL, I UNDERSTANDS
IN MY STANCE ON THIS, WITH THE ANTICIPATION OF BUDGET CUTS COMING DOWN FROM THE STATE, I AM ALL ABOUT TIGHTENING OUR BELT SO I AM -- I UNDERSTAND YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION FIRST HAND AND I KNOW MENTIONED TRANSPARENCY, BUT WE ARE
TRANSPARENT OR RECK THIS IS ALL TRANSPARENT ON THE WEBSITE. AND I MEAN, I PERSONALLY THINK WE COULD FEEL LIKE WE HAVE EXPERTS IN OUR OWN AND JUST A QUESTION. HOW MANY IN YOUR
DEPARTMENT OR WHATEVER USING THIS PARTICULAR REPORT FROM THE COLORADO SCHOOL FINANCE PROJECT? WHO USES IT? >> UM, YEAH, THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. TWO OF US, COLLEEN, BUDGET DIRECTOR AND RY THE ONES WHO ATTEND THE
MEETINGS. AND LIKE, MR. RAINY SAID, SHE WAS ON THEED A RIGHTS RY BOARD I THINK IT WAS WITH SCHOOL FINANCE PROJECTS. AND THE REPORTS CAN BE USED BY ALL OF US FOR DIFFERENT REASONS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. SOME OF THEM ARE
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON THE WITHIN SITE AND SOME ARE NOT. COULD WE GET THOSE FROM OTHER SOURCES? PROBABLY. YOU CAN GET THAT INFORMATION. RIGHT. YEAH. RIGHT. YEAH. YOU CAN GET FROM OTHER SOURCES OF COUNCIL AND OTHERS AS ALSO. >> OK.
>> THANK YOU. >> HOW MUCH DO WE SPEND ON LON BUYIST? >> HOW MUCH DO WE SPEND ON OUR LOBBYIST? SORRY I DON'T KNEE NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD SO I WILL HAVE TO
TRY TO FIND IT. >> UM, SO THE -- I DEGREE WITH DIRECTOR WILLIAMS THAT, YOU KNOW, IF WE ARE GOING TO, UM, PAY FOR SOMETHING, THAT WE SHOULD BE UTILIZING
THE SERVICE, AND SO THE THING THAT KIND OF STUCK OUT TO ME, I FEEL, WAS NONPARTISAN SOURCE OF FINANCIAL DATA AND WITH THIS STRONG THE SIR FROM OUR COMMUNITY ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND THE ACCOUNT K, AND I DO THINK IT IS STRENGTH TOT
HAVE A NONPARTISAN SOURCE JUST WITH INTERACTING WITH OUR OWN CONSTITUENTS LET ALONE BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE IMPACT TO LEGISLATURES AND PARTICIPATE IN THESE OTHER ACTIVES. AND SO I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, AS I WAS LISTENING
TO THE PRESENTATION ANDING IF THROUGH THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAD TRYING TO WEIGH WHICH ONES WOULD BE A VALUE FOR US. THAT WAS THE PART THAT STOOD OUT THE MOST TO ME. AND IF THIS IS SERVICE WE DECIDE THAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE OR IF PE
WANT TO CONTINUE THE MEMBERSHIP BEING PURPOSEFUL IN THE USE OF THE DATA THAT THEY PROVIDE YOU KNOW, MAYBE HAVING A PLACE, IT COULD BE UNITED NATIONS THE LEGISLATIVE SECTION ON THE WEBSITE. WHERE IT IS NONPARTISAN DATA REGARDING ONE OF
THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES. AND THEN AS WELL AS LIKE I WAS THINKING THOSE TUNES FOR THE BOARD COMMITTEES. ESPECIALLY THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEES BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS POWER IN HEARING IT FROM OUTSIDE NONPARTISAN SOURCE THE WORK WE ARE DOING AND
THE FACT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO LIKE SUPPORT LIKE MEETING WITH OUR COMMITTEES THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT WAS HELPFUL. AS FOR SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT BASS BROUGHT UP, SO ONE WATCH IT WAS
TALKING ABOUT STRATEGIC BUDGETING AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE UTILIZED ANY OF THAT. >> YES THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. >> FIRST OF AM, WE PI OUR LOBBYIST $51,000 A YEAR.
THAT IS CONTRACT. I JUST FOB THE CONTRACT. ON TRA TIMINGIC PRIORITY BUDGETING WE ACTUALLY USED TO DO THAT. WITH OUR LAST PLAN, THAT CONTINUED ALL THE WAY UNTIL MAYBE A YEAR OR POSSIBLY TWO AGO. AND FOR OUR DISTRICT IT
WAS EXTREMELY BUREN SOME TO DO AND NOT INCREDIBLY PRAGMATIC BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU PUT A TEACHER SALARY TO? WHAT DO YOU PUT VARIOUS
COSTS THAT WE HAVE, WHAT DO YOU PUT THE TRANSPORTATION TENT TO IN HE WERE TOES OF THE PRIORITY SO IT WAS SYSTEM WHERE WE HAD TO PICK FOR EVERY SINGLE EX PEND TURE LIKE A BUS OR A TRANSFER, OR A TEACH EAR SALARY OR WHAT EVERYWHERE, WE HAD TO
PICK A PRIORITY, IT WAS EXTREME LIBURD IN SOME FOR OUR BUDGETING DEPARTMENT SO, HAVE TRIED SOMETHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. AS WE HAVE OUR NEW TRA TEENIC PLAN WE ARE OPEN TO LOOKING AGAIN. WE DO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. IT SOUNDS REALLY GREAT BUT IT IS EBBS ROOM TO
LIBURD IN SOME I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT. IT ISES THAT A GOOD SUMMARIZE. >> AND THEN, SOME OF THE AND WHERE WAS IT AT?
I WROTE IT DOWN. >> YOU CAN ATENS THOSE MEETINGS IN THE CONFERENCE AND BASED OFF OF YOUR ATTENDANCE IN THOSE MEETINGS AND THE CONFERENCES WHAT WOULD BE VALUE FOR THE PARD
DIRECTORS? BOARD DIRECTORS? >> UM, I THINK, I THINK, FOR THE MONTHLY MEETINGS HEARING FROM OUR LEGISLATURES AND POLICYMAKERS, GIVES A LOT OF IN SIGHT INTO WHERE THE STATE IS
HEADING AND HOW THEY GOT WHERE THEY ARE. SO I THINK THAT COULD BE OF SOME BENEFIT AS YOU TALK THE LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES AND HELP ADVICE US ON WHERE TO GO WITH THE LOBBYIST. THE CONFERENCES VARY
SCHOOL FINANCE NUTS AND BOLTS RELATED SO I DON'T KNOW THAT WOULD BE AS HELPFUL. THERE ARE LEGISLATIVE COME NONES TO IT. BUT I THINK IT IS CFO NUTS AND BOLTSISH FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN. I THINK THE MONTHLY MEETINGS COULD BE SOME
VALUE THERE. >> OK. >> I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SEEN LIKE THE SLIDE DECKS ET CETERA WHEN AFTER THE ACCOUNTABILITY PROCESS THAT OR NOT ACCOUNTABILITY, THE, ADEQUACY. THANK YOU.
THE ADEQUATE SY STUDY I KNOW YOU HAVE SEEN THOSE SLIDE DECKS THOSE HAVE BEEN REPURPOSED AND PRESENTED TO THE BARD WHEN WE WERE SEEKING BOND THAT WAS BEFORE MY TIME. BUT I DON'T KNOW. I DOP KNOW THOUGHTS ON
THAT PRESENTATION OR IF TRYING TO THINK IT WAS 2021 SO MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN WHEN YOU GAS HAVE BEEN. >> I WAS ON THE BOARD AT THAT THAT TIME. >> JUST, IT IS, I IT WAS BEFORE EVERYONE ELSES
WITH ON THE BOARD. >> JUST THE UTILITY OF IT. >> WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO SPEAK TO THAT? >> YEAH. YES. >> I AM TRYING TO REMEMBER BECAUSE IT WAS SO LONG AGO. IT WAS A PRESENTATION
JUST ON BASIC SCHOOL FINANCE. STATE ISSUES. POLICY CHANGES. THE IMPACT OF LEDGE SLAY IT POLICIES ON THE BUDGET, ET CETERA. FROM WHAT I CAN REMEMBER. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE
TO PULL THAT UP AND LOOK. I MEAN, HONEST HI, I HAVE BEEN QUIET BECAUSE THE COLORADO SCHOOL FINANCE PROJECT IS ONE OF MY CLIENTS, I HAVE A DOZEN DIFFERENT CLIENTS I WORK WITH IN COLORADO. THEY ARE ONE OF THEM. AND SO YOU KNOW, I DOESN'T FEEL LIKE I
SHOULD WEIGH IN TOO MUCH AND IN THAT REGARD AND WAS REALLY HAPPY THAT MISS RUN A NY COULD BE HERE TONIGHT TO SHARE DIRECTLY THOSE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS THAT THEY OFFER. AND I THINK I AM JUST SITTING HERE KIND OF
LISTENING TRYING TO THINK WE ACTUALLY APPROVED THE BUDGET IN JUAN. AND THOSE DUES WERE PART OF THE BUDGET AT THIS TIME BUT I DON'T THINK ANY OF THOSE REALIZE THAT THE DUES WERE NOT PART OF OUR BUDGET SO IN
ESSENCE, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT MOVE DUES INTO THE BOARD'S BUDGET WITHOUT HAVING A CONVERSATION AND WE'RE HAVING THE CONVERSATION NOW. AND I THINK WE ARE
HAVING THE CONFERENCE ARE CONVERSATION NOW BECAUSE I RAISED THE IDEA OF HAVING A PILOT FOR A STREAMING OPPORTUNITY GIVEN THE REQUESTS THAT HAS COME
TIME AND TIME AGAIN FROM SAC MEMBERS AND SO, SO I GUESS I AM SITTING HERE TRYING TO RECONCILE WE NEVER HAD THE CONVERSATION. I WAS PUTTING INTO OUR BUDGET AND WE APPROVED IT. NOW WE FUND OURSELVES DO
WE WANT TO GO BACK AND NOT APPROVE THE DUES ANN MORE TO HAVE THE STREAMING PILOT AND NO ONE TALKED ABOUT THE STREAMING PILOT AS WELL SO THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE
CONVERSATION AS WELL. >> YEAH I AGREE. I CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT CATCHING THE FEES GETTING MOVED OVER. I DIDN'T SO THAT IS WHY
WE ARE LOOKING AT THAT NOW AS FAR AS IT FOES, I THINK WE SHOULD TALK IT IT. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT SUNS THE LAST CONVERSATION WE HAD IN JUNE.
I ACTUALLY WENT AND RESEARCHED OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS NEARBY. I WENT AS TO JEFFCO. LITTLETON. DENVER. CHERRY CREEK. NONE OF OUR NEIGHBORING SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACTUALLY LIVE STREAM
THEIR MEETINGS. $5,000 SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY PER MEETING AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE THE SIR TO REACH MORE PARENTS, I STARTED THINKING EVEN IF 100 PEOPLE LO LOGGED UNWE
ARE PAYING $50 PER PERSON TO HAVE THEM ATTEND A MEET K AND I REALLY STRUGGLE WITH THAT. IN ADDITION, EVEN AT THE LAST MEETING WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LIVE STREAM WHEN WE DO OUR TWO VIRTUAL MEETINGS
I THINK THE CHAIR WAS SPEAKING AND SAID, WE EVEN GET DONE WHEN WE ARE ON WHEN WE ARE DOING THE VIRTUAL MEETINGS INSTEAD OF IN PERSON. AND I THINK PART OF THAT SPEAKS TO JUST THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE LOGGED IN DOESN'T EQUAL
ENGAGEMENT SO I WORRY THAT WE ARE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE WHO ARE LOGGED IN VERSUS PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY ENGAGED SO I AM REALLY STRUGGLING GETTING TO THAT THAT POINT WHERE I THINK THAT IT IS MONEY WELL SPENT.
>> PRESIDENT WILLIAMS IN ALL HONESTY I AM STRUGGLING WITH YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD WITH THE STREAMING RIGHT NOW WITH IT HAPPENING AFTER NOVEMBER AS WELL BECAUSE THERE IS FOUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND WE ALL KNOW WHEN FOUR NEW
POURED MENS COME IN, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY DECIDE THEY DON'T WANT AS TO STREAM EITHER AT THIS POINT AND TIME. AND SO, EVEN IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH SAYING WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING AND AFTER
NOVEMBER, I DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT GAR TEEING PEOPLE WE ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY DO THAT BAWLS I HAVE BEEN ON A BOARD WHERE YOU KNOW, FOUR NEW MEMBERS COME ON, AND I MEAN, THEY CAN FIRE A SUPERINTENDENT WITHOUT CAUSE. THEY CAN YOU KNOW CANCEL
RETREATS. THEY CAN MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO, SO AT THIS TIME, I AM NOT FEELING CONFIDENT THAT I CAN MAKE THAT PROMISE AT
THAT POINT AND TIME. OK. >> DOES DIRECTOR THOMPSON DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR THE WHERE THE BOARD
STANDS? YEAH. SORRY. >> YEAH. I WOULD JUST STATE TH THAT -- SORRY. IT IS IT OK. I WAS RESPONDING TO HER. >> YES. ALL RIGHT. SO I WOULD STATE THAT I
AGREE WITH DIRECTOR WHEN IT COMES TO -- I DO THINK WE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CSFP. HOWEVER I SAY THAT WITH WE NEED TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT USING THE SERVICE FOR BOARD
BUSINESS AND POLICY IF WE MOVE FORWARD THIS WITH IT. YEAH SO I GUESS TO WHAT DIRECTOR MEEK JUST SAID. I THINK DEPENDENT UPON WHO COMES IN, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT AFREEZE WITH DOING IT SO YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER IT UNTIL NEXT YEAR. I HAVE ALREADY SAID.
THE FEES WILL BE PAID THOUGH. RIGHT. WHAT I AM SAYING IS, FOR ME, PERSONALLY, RIGHT NOW. I DON'T SEE A PURPOSE IN IT. SO MAYBE YOU WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR AND DECIDE AGAIN WHETHER OR NOT TO MOVE FORWARD. I PERSONALLY DON'T SEE THE PEN IF IT. BEFORE US.
I APPRECIATE WHAT RAINY DOES AND I DON'T WANT TO SOUND I DON'T APPRECIATE FOR OUR DISTRICT I AM STRUGGLING. >> DIRECTOR. >> SO WHEN DO WE PAY THOSE FEES? >> HAVE WE? I MEAN, THAT WAS THE QUESTION. >> SO HAVE WE ALREADY DONE THAT FOR ANOTHER YEAR? WHAT WHEN IS THE TIME
UP? >> HE APPROVED THE FEES ALREADY. I THINK RIGHT NOW WE ARE DECIDING DOG WE WANT TO GO BACK AND NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT WE APPROVED IN JUNE? >> RIGHT. I UNDERSTANDS THAT. BUT WHAT I AM ASKING IS, ARE WE COMING UP ON END
OF A CONTRACT WITH THEM? WHENS THIS HE RENEWAL? >> I THINK WE ASKED THAT WE WOULD HOLD OFF ON PAYING UNTIL THE DISCUSSION. THAT IS WHAT OUR DISCUSSION WAS IN JUNE. YES. WE HAVE. WE ARE READY TO PAY THEM. IT WAS KIND OF CONTINGENT ON THIS
DISCUSSION. TO CLARIFY THEY ARE DUE. OK. THEY ARE DUE AND IT RUNS 25-26? IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SCHOOL YEAR? ECOY.
WE APPROVED THE BUDGET IN JUNE THAT PAID THOSE. WE HAVE HELD OFF ACTUALLY PAYING THOSE DUES AT THE MINIMUM WE EITHER WE HAVE TO HAVE A MOTION TO MODIFY OR TO AMEN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION BUDGET TO REMOVE THAT PAYMENT OF THOSE BILLS?
OR WE CAN PAY THEM FOR ONE MORE YEAR AND LET THE NEXT BOARD WHOEVER THEY ARE MAKE THAT DECISION FOR 20-27 THAT SEEMS LIKE THE TWO OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE. >> SORRY DIRECTOR
THOMPSON. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE. TECHNICALLY THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE ADJUSTS TO THE BUDGET AS TREASURE. I BROUGHT TO IT THE BOARD BECAUSE I WANTED TO BRING TO IT THE BARD FOR CONSENSUS. >> YEAH. WELL, IF WE MAKE A
MODIFICATION WE DO HAVE TO TAKE A VOTE. SO WE PLAN ON CHANGING A LINE ITEM AMOUNT TONIGHT? OR JUST, I MEAN, THAT WOULD MEAN, WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE AMOUNT IN YOU ARE OUR ADOPTED BUDGET TONIGHT OR JUST NOT GOING TO PAY THIS ITEM?
THAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THAT. WELL, BASED ON MY LISTENING TO YOUR CONVERSATION, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD GENERAL CONSENSUS TO LET IT BE. RATHER THAN SWITCHING OUT THE CFP FOR LIVE STREAMING RIGHT NOW.
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WANTED TO HAVE A NEW BOARD VOTE ON WHEN THEY ARRIVE BUT PERHAPS. I THINK THAT IS TRUE WITH THE DAQ BUT NOT SURE WHERE WE ARE ON THE CSFP.
SO -- >> MY CONCERN IS THAT WE ADOPTED THE BUDGET IN JUNE. WE DID NOT NOTIFY THE PUBLIC THAT TODAY TODAY'S DISCUSSION WAS GOING TO BE MODIFYING THE BUDGET. NOW MAYBE I AMIESING
THAT SOMEWHERE ON HERE. IT DOES SAY APPROVAL OF THE BOARD BUDGET REVISION BUT DID NOT MAKE IT CLEAR WHAT THAT REVISION WAS GOING TO BE. YOU KNOW? I DON'T KNOW IF THE PUBLIC CARES OR NOT. I DO WANT TO BE VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD WITH THEM ABOUT IT.
THE DAQ IS ADDITIONAL SPENT. WE HAVE TO APPROVE THAT. WE ARE NOW TALKING ABOUT REVISING A LINE ITEM THAT WE ADOPTED IN JUNE. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE FULLY NOTIFIED EVERYBODY ABOUT THAT. I WISH THIS WAS NOT DUE RIGHT NOW.
I UNDERSTAND WHY WE WANT TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION BUT THAT IS NOT HOW IT WAS. THE BOARD BUDGET REVISION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS POSTED BOARD BUDGET. AND SO I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WE ARE NOT GIVING PUBLIC STRAIGHTFORWARD
INFORMATION. I STILL THINK WE GO WITH THE BUDGET WE HAVE APPROVED THEN REANALYZE IT IN JUNE. THAT IS MY POSITION. I THINK THE PUBLIC HAS RIGHT TO KNOW EVERYTHING WE DO. >> AND WE DID TALK ABOUT THIS IN JUNE. STATING THIS IS WHAT WE WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT DIRECTOR MOORE.
>> SO I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS AND JUST BEEN LISTENING AND THINKING ABOUT IT. I PERSONALLY AM IN FAVOR OF REDUCING THE DUES AND FEES BY THE AMOUNT DUE FOR THAT SERVICE THAT WE
HAVE NOT REALLY USED. HOWEVER, PART MANUFACTURE ME ALSO THINKS IT IS A DECISION THAT SHOULD BE MADE BY THE NEXT BOARD IT IS
INAPPROPRIATE TO MAKE THAT DECISION TODAY ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER BOARD WHO IS NOT EVEN HERE YET. SO SHOULD WE -- IS IT APPROPRIATE TO -- I MEAN, I WILL -- I WILL
TAKE THE POSITION WE SHOULD NOT PAY FOR THE SERVICE NOW. HOWEVER, REDUCING THE LINE ITEM BY THAT $25,000 IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT? I THINK REALLY SHOULD BE DECISION OF THE
FOLLOWING GROUP. BECAUSE WE REALLY ONLY HAVE A HANDFUL OF MONTHS AS THE CURRENT BOARD. >> YOUR OPINION IS WE SHOULD NOT PAY THINK DUES AND CONTINUE FORWARD WITH THE SERVICE ITSELF BUT LEAVE THE BUDGET LINE THE WAY IT
IS SO IF THE NEXT BOARD WAPS TO DO IT, THEN THEY CAN. >> YES,NAME. >> OK. >> YES,NAME. I AM ACTUALLY FINE WITH THAT AS WELL. I WOULD BE GOOD WITH THAT.
DIRECTOR THOMPSON. YEP. I WOULD CAUTION -- I WOULD CAUTION OUR DISCUSSIONS AND DECISIONS AROUND WHAT WE WILL AND WILL NOT VOTE ON OTHERWISE WHY ARE WE GOING TO HOLD MEETINGS FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS
KNOWING THE BOARD IS GOING TO CHANGE BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE THAT ARGUMENT FOR EVERY VOTE WE TAKE AND SO I HEAR, I HEAR WHATEVER WITHIN IS SAYING. I JUST WANT TO ISSUE CAUTION ON THAT. >> YEAH. THAT IS FAIR.
>> SO I THINK ALL I NEEDED WAS CONSENSUS. I GOT CONSENSUS SO I THINK WE ARE FINE. I DON'T THINK ANY OTHER VOTE IS NEEDED. WE'LL FOLLOW THE CONCESSION SUSS OF THE BOARD. THAT IS WHY I BROUGHT IT. JUST MAKING THE CALL. WE DON'T HAVE TO IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE LINE A.M. THAT WAS
THE WHOLE THING. I THINK DIRECTOR THOMPSON IS RIGHT. >> STAFF IS HEARD AS WELL. SO TO BE CLEAR YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE THE LINE ITEM BUT NOT PAY THE CSFN. >> THE GENERAL
TECHNOLOGY DRN -- NOT TECHNOLOGY, THE DUES AND FEE ARE BEES THE AM IN THE ADOPTED BUDGET AT THIS TIME IS GOING TO STAY THE SAME WHETHER OR NOT THAT CHANGES IN THE FUTURE REVISION IS OBVIOUSLY WHEN THE NEXT BOARD IS HERE. IT IS JUST WHAT WE ARE
GOING TO PAY OUT OF THAT I HAVE GOT CONSENSUS NOT TO PAY OUT OF AS THIS PACIFIC AREA. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'LL THEN MOVE ON THEN TO THE APPROVAL OF BOARD COMMITTEE PRIORITIES. WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF
SPENDING A GOOD PORTION OF OUR DAY WHEN WE HAD OUR RETREAT TALKING ABOUT OUR BOARD PRIORITIES AND THEN WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THE BOARD OR THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT SHOWED UP IN THE
AFTERNOON AND SO, UM, I THINK WHAT WE'LL DO IS JUST GO THROUGH THESE QUICKLY AND SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING CONCERNS, WE'LL START WITH APPENDIX A WHICH IS THE DISTRICT ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE. I KNOW DIRECTOR MEEK AND I WERE ABLE TO TALK WITH
DAQ ABOUT THESE PRIORITIES THEN I DON'T FEEL I I HEARD ANY CONCERNS. DIRECTOR MEEK, DO YOU FEEL THE SAME? >> I AGREE. >> OK. SO ANY QUESTIONS THERE?
ALL RIGHT GOOD. WE GO TO APPENDIX BUY WHICH IS FISCAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE SO I WILL LET DOYLE,ORS THOMPSON TALK ABOUT THAT. HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO YOUR QUESTIONS? THAT SORT OF THING.
>> SO OBVIOUSLY, DURING THE RETREAT WE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND IN COMP OPERATE THE FEEDBACK AND THEN WE RECENTLY HAD AGENDA CALENDAR PLANNING MEETING WITH FOR, WHERE
WE REVIEWED AGAIN, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY ALREADY BUILD IN FOR THE YEAR. >> AWESOME. >> LAY WE MET WITH THE CHAIR AND WENT THROUGH THESE. YEAH THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT LIKE SHE SAID.
AWESOME. OK. WE GO TO APPENDIX C WHICH IS LON LONG RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE AND HAND THAT OVER TO DIRECTORS. >> WE DISCUSSED THIS BOTH AT LENGTH BECAUSE OF COURSE LRBC SHOWED
OUT REALLY WELL AT THE RETREAT. >> WE ARE. THEY DID. >> THEY LOVE TOFF BRING ABOUT THAT. I LOVE TO BRING ON IT. WE DISCUSSED THESE PRIORITIES A GREAT DEAL F. THESE ARE MORE PACIFIC THAN THEY HAD BEEN IN THE PAST BECAUSE WE HAD ISSUES ABOUT THE NEW POUND DYES AT 50 AND 51.
SO WE DISCUSSED THIS BOTH AT THE RETREAT AND AT THE LRPC MEETING TWO WEEKS AGO. AND THEN DIRECTOR MORE AND I REVIEWED THESE TOGETHER AND SO THEY FEEL APRETOR AND THEY ARE CERTAINLY THINGS THAT THE LRPC REALLY
WANTS TO DO. >> AWESOME. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'LL MOVE TO APPENDIX D WHICH IS THE MAIL BOND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. NO LONGER AD HOC.
>> YEAH. SO WE HAVE THE FIRST POINT AS WE NORMALLY DID AND THEN WE ADDED THE SECOND POINT EMPHASIZING WELL THE FIRST POINT IS ABOUT THE MLO AND EMPHASIZING THE BOND THAT JUST PASSED. >> YEAH. >> PRETTY BASIC.
>> PERFECT. >> ALL RIGHT. THEN MOVING ON TO APPENDIX E WHICH IS THE STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP ANDY LOOKERS MEYERS AND MEEK. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF OUR SAG LEADERSHIP SHOW UP FOR THE RETREAT BUT
WE DID HAVE KATHERINE. SHE IS NOT OUR LEADERSHIP BUT SHE CAME. WE GOT FEEDBACK FROM HER. CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, DIRECTOR MEEK, WITH THE MEETING WE HAD THIS SUMMER THEN WHEN I HAD THE MEETING WITH KIDS, LATER ON IN THE
SUMMER, THAT THIS LOOKED, THIS IS WHAT THEY HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT STUDENT VOICE, BROADENING COMMUNICATION SO THIS LOOKINGS GOOD. WHAT DO YOU THINK DIRECTOR MEEK? >> YEP. LOOKS GOOD. >> IF I MAY.
>> WE ARE. I THINK IT PROBABLY FALLS YOBER THESE BUT I SENT E-MAIL ABOUT IT. AT THE TIME WE DEVELOPED THESE, WE DID NOT HAVE THE RESULTS OF THE STUDENT SURVEY. AND SO I THINK MAYBE THERE IS ROOM IN HERE
FOR A NUMBER 5 OR COULD BE INCLUDE IN THE OTHERS TO SAY REVIEW THE RESULTS OF THE STUDENT SURVEY AND GIVE US, GIVE OPINIONS ABOUT WAYS TO BEING, THE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT SURVEY, AND GIVE OPINIONSES ABOUT WAYS TO ADDRESS CONCERNS
EXPRESSED IN THERE. AND I MEAN, THAT WAS THE ONLY THING I THOUGHT. THAT IS A NEW PIECE OF INFORMATION WE HAVE THAT SAG COULD PLAY PERHAPS PLAY A ROLE IN EVALUATING THINGS LIKE ONE OF THE THEY HAVE CONCERNS IS THEY DONE FEEL PART OF THE OVERALL
SCHOOL THAT SEEMS TO BE RIGHT UP SAG'S ALLEY. THAT HAS BEEN A POP OF CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO COMMUNICATE OUT. SO WE ARE NOT VOTING TOT RIGHT. >> WE ARE. >> WE ARE. >> DIRECTOR MEEK? I MEAN WE HEARD IT.
WE COULD ADD IT. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I REALLY LIKE THE SURGE GUESSING. P I REALLY LIKE THE SUGGESTION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD IT NUMBER TWO IS ANOTHER BULLET POINT WHERE IT
SAYS STRENGTHEN THE STUDENT VOICE AND THEN WE CAN JUST PUT IN A BULLET POINT AROUND FEEDBACK AROUND THE SURVEYS? >> YES. >> YES.
SO LET'S SEE PROVIDE FEEDBACK AROUND TU STUDENT SURVEYS. THAT IS ADEQUATE? WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD
ADDITIONAL? >> I THINK THAT IS ENOUGH. >> OH A. >> OK. ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT DIRECTORS MYERS AND MEEK? >> I AM GOOD WITH THAT. >> I WAS NOT SURE I HEARD THE FINAL LANGUAGE. >> IT WAS VERY SIMPLE.
PROVIDE FEED BANK AROUND STUDENT SURVEYS. >> PROVIDE FEEDBACK AROUND. >> HOW ABOUT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT OR I DON'T KNOW -- WE ARE
STRUGGLING. I THINK THERE WAS TWO AREAS, ONE WAS HELPING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT BUT THE SECOND WAS ALSO, UM, HELPING TO ENHANCE ENGAGE AM LEVELS
WITH THE SR. FAY THAT FELT LIKE THERE WERE TWO AREAS IN PARTICULAR WE TALKED ABOUT. >> OK. SO MY THOUGHT ON THAT WOULD BE IF WE ARE LOOKING FOR ENGAGEMENT SHOULD GO UNDERNUMBER ONE WHICH IS BROADEN THE COMMUNICATION TRAGEDIES.
THEN THAT COULD BE WHERE WE TALK ABOUT ENGAGEMENT AROUND THE SURVEYS ABOUT HE THEN, MAYBE UNDER NUMBER TWO, WE COULD JUST SAY SOMETHING LIKE, ANALYZE AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS AROUND STUDENT SURVEYS.
>> YEAH. I WOULD AVOID THE WORD "RECOMMENDATIONS" I REALLY THINK AT THIS TIME IS FEEDBACK. >> HOW ABOUT ANALYZE. >> ADDITIONAL STUDENT PERSPECTIVES AROUND THE STUDENT SURVEY DATA. THE THAT WAS WHAT WE ARE ASKING THEM FOR
ADDITIONAL PERSPECTIVES AROUND THE STUDENT'S SURVEY DATA. >> WAY. OK. >> SO HOW ABOUT FOR
UNDERNUMBER OR TWO A SECOND BULLET THAT SAYS PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PERSPECTIVE AROUND STUDENT SURVEY DATA. AND THEN UNDER NUMBER ONE, WE'LL NEED TO COME UP WITH ONE AROUND TRAJ
SIZE ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES AROUND THE STUDENT SURVEY.
>> SORRY I AM TALKING. >> CREATE A CONSISTENT METHOD TO SHARE SAG UPDATES, WEBSITE SECTION, NEWSLETTER, SOCIAL MEDIA SURVEYS AND COLLECTING STUDENT'S DATA. HOW ABOUT DO THAT? >> I WOULD BE FINE WITH
THAT. >> WOULD EVERYONE BE OK ADDING ANOTHER WORD IN THE PARENTHESIS THAT SAYS SR. I HAVE OR SUR ARE SURVEYS. SURVEYS OR SURVEY.
>> NO BECAUSE THAT IS NOT THE SAME THING ACTUALLY. NEVER MIND.
YEAH A SECOND BULLET AROUND TRAJ GUISE WAYS TO ENGAGE STUDENTS OR ENGAGE OR ENGAGE INCREASE PARTICIPATION
IN STUDENT SURVEYS. TRAJ DIES WAYS TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION IN STUDENT SURVEYS OR WITH STUDENT SURVEYS. IS EVERYONE OK WITH THAT INTHE SECOND BULLET?
GREAT. ALL RIGHT. I CAN TAKE A MOTION NOW. >> MOVE TO ADOPT THE PRIORITIES AND EXHIBITS AS AMENNED? >> SECOND. >> MOTION BY GEIGER. SECOND BY MYERS.
[VOTING] GREAT PASSES-0 MOVING ON THE DISCUSSION AROUND THE RESOLUTIONS
WITH THE CASS BUY, DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> YEP. SO THE WAY I WAS THINKING TO APPROACH THIS IS FIRST SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RESOLUTIONS THAT ANY OF YOU GUYS REVIEW THAT YOU
MAY WANT TO DISCUSS? >> I DO HAVE A FEW HIGHLIGHT SOD THE APPROACH I WAS GOING AT WAS ALIGNING IT WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
DOES IT FIT WITHIN OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIOR US AS THE METRIC? BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THAT WERE A GRAY AREA WHEN IT COMES TO THE DIRECT ALIGNMENT WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES SO I WILL JUST HIGHLIGHT THOSE.
SO A NUMBER OF FIVE WAS ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION CAMPUSES SO THIS IS REMOVING DATA FROM DISTRICT FRAMEWORKS. AND FOR THIS ONE, YOU
KNOW, IT IS REMOVING ENTIRE TATA SET SO FOR US, I WOULD ASSUME IN THE WAY I INTERPRET THIS, THIS IS LIKE YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ALTERNATIVE CAMPUSES WITHIN OUR OWN DISTRICTS INCLUDING CHARTERS THAT WOULD BE, THAT DATA TAT
WOULD BE REMOVED. FROM THE FRAMEWORK AND THE IDEAS TO AVOID PUNITIVE IMPACTS.
>> DOES IT SAY REMOVEZ IN. >> YEAH. SO IT SAYS SEPARATING THE DATA FROM OTHER PERFORMANCE DATA. SO THIS THE IDEA IS THAT FEN RAL PERFORMANCE DATA WOULD BE WHAT DIGS
STRICTS ARE RATED ON AND THAT DATA WOULD BE REPORTED IT WOULD BE SEGREGATED AND THAT IS HOW I INTERPRETED THAT?
>> UM, OH, I WILL ADD, SO WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS THEY DID MARK IF IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE COMMITTEE WHICH THERE MAY BE DIFFERENT
REASONS, IT COULD BE A GOOD RESOLUTION BUT THAT IS ONE NOTE WHEN LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENT. >> WE STAY NEUTRAL BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW EITHER. I WOULD HAVE TROUBLE SUPPORTING FIVE AS WRITTEN IN PART BECAUSE IT IS REALLY BADLY
WRITTEN. I AM NOT SURE WHO IT APPLIES TO? I THINK IT IS RELATIVELY UNCLEAR ABOUT WHAT AAC IS. I THINK MUCH MORE CLARITY IN WHAT IT IS MEANING TO DO WOULD BE NECESSARY BECAUSE I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE
WITH IT. >> WAY. I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THAT EITHER NEUTRAL OR A NO. >> ANN OUR THOUGHTS?
>> ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? OK. ALL RIGHT. THEN. >> SORRY. DIRECTOR MEEK. YEAH. JUST A QUICK QUESTION. DIRECTOR MYERS I AM WONDERING IF STAFF HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ROW VIEW THESE RESOLUTION AND WEIGH IN ON THEM AT ALL? >> OH.
I THINK SHE MEANT DIRECTOR THOMPSON. THAT IS OK. >> IT IS LATE. >> DID I SAY THE WRONG NAME? I AM SORRY. >> SO I HAVE NOT SET UP STAFF BUT YOU GUYS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TOLL PROVIDE INPUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
>> I JUST KNOW SOMETIMES IT IS HELPFUL FOR STAFF TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY, UM, AND I WONDER IF MAYBE THEN SINCE IT SOUNDS LIKE MAWN THEY HAVE NOT JUST, IF THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO REVIEW THEM AND GIVE YOU FEED BANK BEFORE BEING A DELICATE AS
WELL? >> THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL I FEEL LIKE M MATH WOULD HAVE OPINIONS ON THIS ONE. YES. YES. THANK YOU THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TICK A LOOK AND PROVIDE YOU FEEDBACK. AS FOR THE EEC RESOLUTION, WE DONE FEEL LIKE IT IMPACTS US ONE WAY OR MORE.
>> OK. GREAT. ON TOP THE NEXT. ALL RIGHT. NUMBER 8. SO THIS ONE IS LEDGE LATION ALLOWING ONE AT LARGE OUT OF DISTRICT CANDIDATE TO BE APPOINTED OR ELECTED TO OCCUPY A SEAT ON THE
DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION IN THE DISTRICT WHICH IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER IS ENROLLED AS A STUT STUDENT. 3:00. >> HMM. BUT IT IS JUST ALLOWING RIGHT?
IT IS NOT MANDATING? >> SO ONE IS, YOU KNOW, THIS BACKGROUND FOR THIS ONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW THIS IMPACTS LIKE SMALL RURAL DISTRICTS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS NOW COMPROMISE, LIKE THEY MAKE UP MORE
OR THE MAY WHERE ARETIVE THE STUDENT POPULATION ARE OUT OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE OUT OF DISTRICT. WHERE I AM STRUGGLING ON THIS ONE IS COLORADO LAW REQUIRES SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS TO RESIDE IN THIS HE DIGS TRING THEY EBB SERVE ANTI-ED TO LOCAL TAXATION SO THEY
PAY PROPERTY TAXES THAT FUND THE DISTRICT SO THEY HAVE REPRESENTATION ON THE BOARD TO ME THIS IS A LOCAL CONTROL ISSUE. I AGREE WITH THAT ACTUALLY. >> I DO. YES. I THINK CONSENSUS IS PROBABLY A NO ON THIS
ONE. >> AGAIN. LAST ONE, SORRY. THEN, THEN, THE LAST ONE ACTUALLY THIS WOULD BE HELPFUL TOLL HAVE STAFF INPUT ON.
SO IT IS NUMBER NINE. FOR THIS ONE, IT DID GET FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE FULL COMMITTEE. AND THIS ONE SAYS THAT CASS BUY SUPPORTS LEGISLATION THAT RESTORES LOCAL CONTROL OVER TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL EVALUATION
SYSTEMS ALLOWING TO DESIGN AND UM PLIMENT EVALUATION FRAMEWORKS THAT MEET THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS AND COMMUNITIES. I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS. YES. YES. YES. YES. >> WE ARE.
>> YES. >> YEAH. THAT ONE IS JUST I COULD ALLEGER ARE ARGUE, WE HAVE A POSE ADDED EVALUATION MANDATES, YOU KNOW, FLEX K IN THINGS. BUT THIS IS A LITTLE -- THIS IS A LITTLE HARD FOR ME. ALSO, I THINK WE HAVE
OUR STAFF MEMBER THAT PARTICIPATES NOW ACTIVELY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF IT SO I KNOW THAT WE HAVE DONE GREAT WORK IN THIS. ON MAKING IT WORK FOR OUR DISTRICT THAT WE NOW HAVE HELPFUL INFLUENCE,
BUT, OK. AND NOTICE YOU HAVE ONE. NO THAT IS GOOD. >> THANK YOU FOR THE WORK AROUND THAT. >> ALL RIGHT. WE WILL THEN MOVE ON TON THE DISCUSSION OF THE
COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS PLAN DIRECTOR MEEK I KNOW IT IS LATE. BUT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU. >> YOU WILL PROBABLY CALL ME THE WRONG NAME AT THIS POINT. I APOLOGIZEMENT? SO AT OUR RETREAT, WE
HAD A REALLY GREAT CONVERSATION AROUND OUR EXPERIENCE SO FAR WITH THE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS PLAN, WE COMPLETED TWO YEARS AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE THIRD YEAR AND SO,
THE MEMO, I SHARED KIND OF SUMMARIZES THAT PEOPLE ON THE BOARD APPRECIATED THE SYSTEMIC AND INTENTIONAL DESIGN OF THE PLAN THAT WE HAVE BEEN USING AND THE
INCLUSIVENESS OF THE STALK HOLDER OUTREACH AND THE QUALITY OF THE FEED BANK WE RECEIVED
AND MAKING SURE WE ARE TIMING IT WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT REVIEWING THE ENDS AND ALL OF THAT IS INCLUDE IN THE TIMING OF THOSE ENGAGEMENTS AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR
OUTREACH IS TARGETED TO WAY TALKED ABOUT CERTAIN GROUPS NOR COMING YEAR THOSE BEING SENIOR CITIZEN, SUPPORT, STAFF, MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND ALL OF AS THIS IS UPDATED IN THE PLAN ALSO
RECOGNIZE AND THANKING PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS BY GIVING THEM MAYBE LIKE A PIN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND SO THOSE WERE SOME OF THE NAY JOR UNSIGHTS FROM THAT CONVERSATION. SO I HAVE A DRAFT PLAN.
ONE OF THE THINGS I TRIED TO DO IN THE PLAN IS SIMPLY FY IT A LITTLE BIT FROM THE PRIOR PLAN. WHICHS WITH A LITTLE LONGER THAN THIS ONE. BUT WE WANTED TO BRING THIS BACK TO LOOK AT THOSE CORE QUESTIONS FOR
THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR. THESE QUESTIONS PROPOSED QUESTIONS ARE REALLY TO GET EVERYONE'S FEED BASHING ON TONIGHT AND AGREEMENT BECAUSE I KNOW WE ARE ANXIOUS TO GET STARTED WITH OUR FIRST ROUND OF ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
I DRAFTED THESE BEFORE SEEING THE PLAN SLIDES FOR TONIGHT. BUT KNOWING THAT THE PLAN CONTENT WOULD BE ROLLING OUT THE VERY FIRST QUESTION ON THE BOTTOM OF PAGE WITHIN IS REALLY AROUND YOU KNOW WHAT AREAS OF ALIGNMENT DO YOU SEE BETWEEN THE
BOARD'S IN SAMES AND THE NEW DCSD PLAN. TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE YOU KNOW SEE THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN OUR ENDS AND THE PLAN AND ON THE NEXT, PAGE, TOO, IT GUESS ON, THE SECOND
QUESTION IS, DOES THIS NEW PLAN PROACTIVELILY ADDRESS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES YOU BLEB DCSD WILL FACE IN THE COMING YEARS AND THE THIRDS ONE WHAT MAKES YOU OR THE ORGANIZATION FEEL HEARD, SEEN AND VALUED IN YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THE
DISTRICT. THERE IS A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR OUR BOARD COMMITTEES. ASKING QUESTION FOUR. WHAT AREAS OF ALIGNMENT DO YOU SEE BETWEEN THE NEW PLAN IN YOUR BOARD COMMITTEE'S CURRENT PRIORITIES AND WORK INTHE NUMBER FIVE, ARE
THERE WAYS THE COMMUNITY CAN BETTER SUPPORT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN? AND THEN NUMBER SIX, IS FOR A PROPOSED QUESTION FOR OUR EXTERNAL PARTNERS FOR MENIAL HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. AND THAT QUESTION IS WHAT AREAS OF ALIGNMENT
DO YOU SEE CONTINUE WITH THE BOARD'S IN STATEMENTS AND THE ORGANIZATIONS WORK WITH STUDENTS AND FAMILIES? AND THEN IT SHOWS THE DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED FOR THE YEAR. THINK CHART ON THE BOTTOM OF PAGE TWO TO
THE TOP OF PAGE THREE. THOSE ARE REALLY THE MAJOR COMPONENTS THAT I WITHINNED TO GET EVERYONE'S FEED BACK ON. >> I ACTUALLY LIKE YOUR QUESTIONS AND I THINK THEY ARE VAL AM
CONSIDERING WHAT WE ARE WORKING WITH ON THE PLAN. THANK YOU. EVERYONE ELSE FOOTED SNA YEAH THE WE ARE GOOD THERE.
>> YEAH. >> OK. ALL RIGHT. OK. SO WE'LL THEN MOVE INTO ITEM 11.6 THE DISCUSSION ON THE BARD AGENDA AND MONITORING REPORT CALENDAR. AND DIRECTOR MEEK HAD
ASKED ME TO PULL THIS OFF SO WE COULD HAVE A QUICK DISCUSSION SO DIRECTOR MEEK I WILL LET YOU TALK AGAIN. SORRY. >> THAT IS OK. I HOPE MY VOICE HOLDINGS OUT YEAH THANK YOU VERY
AM? I ACTUALLY HAVE A WORK CONFLICT ON THE PROPOSED RETREAT DATE WHICH IS WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 10th AND SOP JUST WANTED TO FLAG THAT.
I KNOW FOUR OF THE INDIVIDUALS WE NEED TO COORDINATE WITH ARE NOT ON THE BOARD CURRENTLY, SO MY RECOMMENDATION IS WE CHANGE THE WEDNESDAY DATE TO THAT SATURDAY OR WE FIND ANOTHER DATE
THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE AND I AM WONDERING IF WE JUST OPEN IT UP TO THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CANDIDATES LIKE WE WOULD PROPOSE MAYBE A DATE OR TWO AND SEE IF WE CAN JUST CONFIRM THE DATE THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE?
I KNOW SOMETIMES WEEKDAYS ARE HARD FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT WORK. AND MAYBE EVEN LIKE A LOCAL RETREAT MIGHT BE
MORE VIABLE AS WELL. I WANTED TO OPEN IT UP TO THE BOARD TO GIVE NOTICE THAT WEDNESDAY WOULD WORK FOR ME. >> YEAH. SO THANK YOU. DIRECTOR THOMPSON I AM NOT TRYING TO KING THE CAN BECAUSE THIS IS' HE
ASKED LING THING I DO THINK IT IS DIFFERENT AND I, I ACTUALLY HAD SOME SIMILAR THOUGHTS AS YOU DIRECTOR MEEK MAYBE WE COULD SEND A SURVEY OUT TO ALL AIL OF THE CANDIDATES THAT ARE RUNNING AND KIND OF SEE
WHAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE, TOO. THEN REVISIT. THAT IS FINE. I KNOW FOR ME PERSONALLY, GIVING UP A SATURDAY WHEN THAT STAYS WITH MY KIDS IS REALLY HARD. SO I CAN SEE IT BOTH WAYS BECAUSE I CAN ALSO CONFLICT LIKE YOU ARE
HAVING WITH WORK SO I COULD SEE IT GO EITHER WAY SO I THINK IT IS PROBABLY BEST TO LET THOSE WHO ARE SITTING UP HERE LIKE MAKE THAT DECISION. I ALSO THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER THAT STAFF WOULD NEED TO BE THERE
AS WELL SO JUST I THINK A LITTLE BIT TIME TO LOOK AT THAT BUT IF THERE IS OTHER DATES YOU WANT TO THROW OUT AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN ASK WE SEND A SURVEY OUT TO THE CANDIDATES, I THINK THAT US THE BEST WAY THEY
WILL. >> THAT WEDNESDAY IS A STRETCH FOR ME. NOT THAT I DON'T ENJOY MORE TIME.
BUT WE HAVE CONFIRMED THERE ARE EIGHT CANDIDATES THAT ARE PICKED UP PETITION. IT IS THAT CORRECT. I THIS I AN E-MAIL TO THOSE EIGHT MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO ME AND SAY WOULD YOU PREFER IT
HERE OR ANOTHER DAY IN DECEMBER? >> I WOULD MAKE SURE YOU GET A RETREAT SCHEDULED BECAUSE OF PRIORITIES AND SESSION STARTS IN JANUARY THAT'S THE ONLY THING I WOULD CAUTION. BUT IF YOU WANT TO, IF MAYBE WE WANT TO TRY TO
COME UP WITH DATES THE THREE OF YOU GUYS ARE AVAILABLE AND ASK DEBBIE TO SEND SOMETHING OUT. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. DOES THAT WORK? >> YEAH. I WILL PUT ON THE RECORD SATURDAY ITS FINE FOR ME.
IF IT IS FINE WITH EVERYONE ELSE, THEN I CAN MAKE A WICK EASY CHANGE TO THE CALENDAR. NOT GOING BE A PROBLEM. >> MY KITS LEFT. SORRY. >> ALL RIGHT. TOESES THAT WORK FOR EVERYONE? DOES EVERYTHING ELSE LOOK OK ON THE CALENDAR?
>> I THINK THE ONLY OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THE BOARD MONITORING THAT IS DUE, WELL, DECEMBER RETREAT, THE GP1.1 THE BOARD'S GOVERNING STYLE AND SELF
EVALUATION THAT IS PERFECT FOR TOP UKES ESPECIALLY FOR BRAND-NEW BOARD COMING TOGETHER TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND YOU KNOW, BEGIN, YOU KNOW, THAT LEARNING PROCESS, I AM WONDERING, I THINK WE PROBABLY NEED
TO ASSIGN THOSE, AND I AM GUESSING DIRECTOR GIRE OR THOMPSON OR I WILL NEED TO PROBABLY SIGN UP FOR THOSE. >> YES. I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE I ASKED DEBBIE TO SEND A
SIGN-UP OUT FOR EVERYBODY BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS GOOD WITH THE DATES OR AT LEAST WILL KNOW THAT EVERYONE US OK WITH IT BEING DONE AT THAT RETREAT SO I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO, I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO SEND SOMETHING OUT UNTIL WE HAD DISCUSSION. DIRECTOR.
>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. I AM SORRY. THE OTHER QUESTION ON THE DATES, YOU KNOW, IT SIMS LIKE THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF MONITORING IN JULY. >> WE ARE.
6:00 YEAH THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER RETREAT SCHEDULED. THAT IS WHERE IT WAS. AM HAPPY TO MOVE ANSWER OF THE ONES YOU WANT TO. IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE. I MEAN THAT IS WHAT I PICTURED WAS WE DO THEM ALL AT ONCE THE RETREAT AND OBVIOUSLY SPREAD THEM OUT ON WHO DOES
THEM. UNSAYING THAT I NOTICED SEPTEMBERth'S BOARD MEETING HAD ONE OF THEM ON THERE IF WOE CAN MOVE THAT TOO TO THE OCTOBER WORK SESSION. >> OH WHERE, IT IS THERE. YEAH. ACTUALLY, I PURT THEM ON THE OCTOBER WORK SESSION
AND DIDN'T TAKE THEM OFF IN SENT. THANK YOU. >> AND THESE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE ARE STUCK TO RIGHT? IT IS MORE OF A GUIDELINE. YEAH. OK. OK. IT CAN ALWAYS CHANGE SO I THIS I THE PLAN IS I WILL MAKE THIS SEPTEMBER CHANGE AND THEN IF
EVERYONE FEELS COMFORTABLE WITH THEM OTHERWISE I WILL WORK WITH DEB PI TO COME UP WITH A SCHEDULE SO EVERYONE CAN SIGN UP FOR THE DIFFERENT SELF EVALUATIONS THEN WE WILL ALSO WORK TO GET WITH THE EIGHT CANDIDATES
ABOUT THE DATES IN DECEMBER. >> SO I GUESS THE ONLY OTHER THING IS TO TONIGHT WE ARE ALREADY DISCUSSED EL2 WOULD GET MOVED, SO MAYBE IT MAKES SENSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND WHAT WE ARE MOVING. >> YEAH.
>> I WILL MOVE EL2. I AM SORRY, AND DO YOU WANT ME TO DO DECEMBER? >> OK. >> KNOWING THAT AGAIN, WE CAN MOVE THINGS AROUND BUT IT SEEPS WORD TO IMPROVE IT KNOWING WE ARE MOVING IT.
>> OK. OK. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. I WILL TAKE OFF THE BLS'S IN SEPTEMBER AND MOVE TO SEPTEMBER AND WE'LL GET TO CANDIDATES TO COME UP WITH A BETTER DAY. THERE IS TELL DECEMBER RETRET AND TAKE OUT THE

>> OK. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO VET ON THAT. I THIS I WE ARE GOOD. OK. THEN THEN WE'LL MOVE TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION REPORTS WE'LL START WITH REFLECTION ON THE BOARD RETREAT.
JUST TO KIND OF, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE THINGS WE DID. WE DID COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS PLAN AND TALKED ABOUT BOARD PRIORITIES IN OURSELF EVALUATIONS AND I AM MAKING CHANGES TO THE POLICY GOVERNANCE SECTION IN OUR HANDBOOK
AND I PROMISED I WOULD GET THEM OUT AFTER THE KIDS STARTED SCHOOL WHICH HAPPENED YESTERDAY SO I WILL DO THAT SHORTLY AND GET THAT OUT TO EVERYONE. AND THEN THE AFTERNOON WAS REALLY GREAT. WE HAD OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS COME AND WE WERE
ABLE TO DISCUSS NUMBER ONE THE PRIORITIES THEN ALSO HAVE THEM KIND OF CROSS POLL POLL LATE AND THEN, THEN MAKE AND HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW THEIR COMMITTEES WORK, WHAT WORKS FOR THEM? WHAT IS NOT WORKING?
THOSE SORTS OF CONVERSATIONS AND A LOT OF IT WAS AROUND COMMUNICATION AND HAVING REPRESENTATION ON OTHER COMMITTEES SO, THE BOARD AGREED THAT, WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ALLOW OUR COMMITTEES TO CROSS
POLLINATE DURING THE REGULAR YEAR, SO THEY, THE BOARD CHAIRS, HAVE BEEN TALKING AMONGST THEMSELVES ABOUT HOW THAT IS GOING TO WORK AND I THINK THAT THEY HAVE A GREAT PLAN AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE
MANDATED AS A BOARD BUT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE WAS UNAGREEMENT. SO THAT IS HOW WE WILL MOVE FORWARD THERE. SO ANYONE ELSE WANT TO TALK ABOUT DIRECTOR WINEGAR JUST TO EXPAND ON THE CROSS POLL NATION PONG OUR COMMITTEES THEY HAVE MET OUTSIDE OF THE
RETREAT. THEY HAVE COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS AND PLAN ON HOW, THEY WILL HAVE DIFFERENTLIES ASONS ON COMMITTEE AND RECRUITMENT PLAN WHERE THEY CAN HAVE A DAY OF GETTING VOLUNTEERS SO IT
HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. I THINK OUR RETREATS HAVE HEISTER RY OF GOING REALLY WELL AND BEING PRODUCTIVE AND SO, SO A LITTLE BIT OF APPRECIATION TO THE BOARD FOR THAT. AND, I WOULD JUST, YOU
KNOW, I APRAY WITH WHAT HAS BEEN STATED SO FAR, AND JUST WANTED TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF APPRECIATION FOR OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT. AND OBVIOUSLY, BEING ABLE TO TOUR THE FACILITY WAS REALLY NICE EXPERIENCE SEEING THAT SERVICE THAT THE
DISTRICT PROVIDES THEN OUR GUIDE WAS VERY CHARISMATIC, INFORMATIVE AND MADE ME WANT TO PARTICIPATE WE HEARD THAT OTHER DIRECTORS IN THE PAST GOT A JUMP OFF OF WHAT IS IT? WHATEVER. YEAH. SO I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE YOU HAVE CONVERSATIONS MAYBE LIKE TRUST EXERCISES THERE. I DON'T KNOW. AND THEN, THEN, I FELT THE CONVERSATIONS WERE REALLY PRODUCTIVE. WE GOT SUCH THOUGHTFUL FEEDBACK ON THE PRIORITIES OBVIOUSLY WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE DED EDITS TO THEM AND
IMPROVE ON THEM BASED OFF THE FEEDBACK AND WE WERE JUST FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH DEDICATED INFORMED VOLUNTEERS SERVING ON OUR COMMITTEES. >> DIRECTOR. I ONLY ADD THE MEMBERS OF THE LRPC WHO WERE
THERE FOUND IT HELPFUL. THIS IS A TRA DOINGS WE NEED TO CONTINUE. STONE CANYON REMAINS FASCINATING FACILITY IF WE CAN FUND THE BEST WAYS TO MAKE IT MORE USEFUL FOR OUR DISTRICT. INCLUDING THINGS THAT I LEARNED THE FIRST TIME
ABOUT THIS. IT IS A BIT FAR AWAY. BUT I HAD ONE OTHER POINT AND IT IS 10:90 AT NIGHT AND IT HAS GONE AWAY SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN VITAL BUT I THINK WE NED TO CONTINUE THIS AND VALUE TO OUR COMMUNITY OUR
COMMITTEES. >> GREAT. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT I WILL MOVE IN. I THOUGHT OF. OUR VIDEO CAME OUT
GREAT. >> OK. >> ALL RIGHT SO PRESIDENT REPORTS THE NEXT MEETING OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IS
SEPTEMBERth APEN DID A PLANNING WILL BE THIS THURSDAY AUGUST 21st AT 10:30. WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS SINCE OUR BOARD RETREAT HAS BEEN ALL THE FUN BACK TO SCHOOL STUFF.
WE DID THE LEADERSHIP SUMMIT. THE NEW TEACHERS. JUST EXCITEMENT GOING TO THE ROOMS IS REALLY EXCITING. AND FUN, BUT I THINK ONE ONE OF THE NEATEST THING FOR ME IS TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING BACK TO DOUGLAS COUNTY. THOSE WHO LEFT AND ARE
NOW COMING BACK. IT SPEAKS VOLUMES TO ALL THE WORK THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING SO THANK YOU. AND THEN THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, I DON'T KNOW, HOW SUPERINTENDENT KIN AND DEBBIE PLANNED IT BUT WE WERE ABLE TO BE THERE FOR ALL THE
CLAPINS AS THEY WERE WALKING BY WE WENT TO, SO EVERY SINGLE ONE WE HIT. THEN WE GOT TO SEE NEW CARPET. PLAYGROUNDS AND THAT SORT OF R SORT OF STUFF TOO SO IT WAS EXCITING. THEN NEATING WAS LAST WEEK.
I HAD TO LEAVE A LITTLE BIT EARLY. I HAD TO PICK UP A KID FROM AUDITION THAT WAS NOT PLANNED. SO ANYWAY, I WAS THERE, THOUGH, THEY VOTED ON LEADERSHIP AND THEN THEY HAVE THE UIP'S SPECIAL
MEETING FOR UIP'S AT THENS OF THIS MONTH SO THAT WILL BE GOOD. AND I WILL LET DIRECTOR ME MEEK TALK ABOUT ANYTHING I TALKED ABOUT AFTER I LEFT SO OH, ARY WOE WERE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT PRIOR IS WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT SO THAT IS WHAT I HAVE. DIRECTOR WINEGAR.
YES WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL. I ENJOYED THE FIRST DAY AS WELL. I WAS IN SAGE CANYON THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES. CLAPPING FOR THE KIDS ON THE FIRST DAY. THEY SO CUTE. THEN I WENT TO OTHER SCHOOLS I HAVE NOT BEEN
TO BEFORE SOUTH RIDGE, CASTLE ROCK ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THEY DO A GREAT JOB. SO MUCH CHARACTER AND THEY KEEP IT REALLY NICE AND SAME WITH CHERRY. VALLEY OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE UNIQUE SCHOOL NEAR
ALBERT AND I DIDN'T GET TO SEE A BEAR CROSS THE STREET LIKE HE. BUT MAYBE NEXT TIME I WILL SEE A BEAR. YEAH. LOVED IT. WAS PRET. ALSO OVER THE SUMMER, GOT TO DO THE FIELD TRIP TO THE SCHOOL WHICH WAS ALSO FRET.
I WISH SHE WAS HERE TO PRESEN BECAUSE SHE HAS SO MANY NUGGETS OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHOOLS. SHE KNOW KNOWS SO MUCH ABOUT THEM AND HAS SO MUCH PASSION FOR IT SO I KNOW SHE WILL DO A GREAT JOB AS COO. THEN, I ALSOTAINEDDED THE REDSTONE SAFE
STATION AD WHICH WE HONORED EARLIER IN THIS MEETING. REALLY INTERESTING TO ME, OBVIOUSLY, THE WHOLE DEDICATION TO THE FATHER THAT HAD A HEART ATTACK OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL. I THINK IT WAS CARDIAC ARREST TECHNICALLY.
VERY HEART FELT. VERY WELL DONE. I LOVE WE WERE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR THIS FAMILY AND OUR COMMUNITY. IT IS INTERESTING ALL THE TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED IN GETTING ONE OUTDOORS BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME WEATHER. AND YOU CAN'T LET IT GET TOO COLD OR TOO HOT. THEN ALL OF THE SECURITY
AROUND IT SO IT DOESN'T GET TOLL IN OR VANDALIZED IS REALLY WELL DONE. YOU GO THINKING IT IS JUST A RIBBON CUTTING FOR A HEART THING, A HEART AED THING, WHAT CAN THEY TALK ABOUT? THEY DID A GREAT JOHN.
YOU REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. I APPRECIATED GOING TO THAT. THEN THE LAST THING I WANTED TO TOUCH ON IS I ATTEND PARTNERSHIP OF DOUGLAS COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND ACTUALLY MISS KANE PRESENTED AND DID A GREAT JOB AND TOUCHED STRATEGIC PLAN
AND JUST SOME OTHER THINGS THAT OUR DISTRICT IS LOOKING FORWARD TO AND A RANDOM THING I AM EXITED ABOUT IS OUR TRANSPAR FOR TATION AND WE ARE GOING TO EVENTUALLY NOT HAVE BLACKOUT WEEKS ANY MORE. WE'LL HAVE FULL SCHEDULES. TO WHERE THEY WERE
BEFORE. WELL, NOT ALL THE WAY BEFORE, BUT TO WHERE THEY WERE MAYBE BEFORE BLACKOUTS. BUT THAT IS GOOD NEWS. SO I JUST HAVE INBOTH COMING UP NEXT WEEK AND I THINK THAT IS IT. >> ALL RIGHT I WILL
START WITH YOU DIRECTOR MEEKS. I KNOW Z YOU PROBABLY WANT TO BE DONE. >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD THANK YOU. >> OK DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> YEP. I ENJOYED THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL VISITS. I WAS ABLE TO TOUR WITH
DANNY AND OF COURSE I LET HIM KNOW THAT IS ALWAYS A LEISURE BECAUSE HE IS CHARISMATIC, END ENERGETIC AND RELIEFS SOCIAL PRESSURE FOR ME BUT REALLY ENJOYABLE. THERE IS ONE COME COMMON THEM ACROSS EVERY SINGLE
LOW CAUTION WE VISITED. CALM AND CLOGGED. LIKE EVERYONE WAS JUST CHILL FOR THE FIRST DAY. IT WAS IMPRESSIVE. LIKE BACK IN ROUTINE. YEAH. THAT WAS ENJOYABLE. THEN VERY A,TIVE THEY GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF THEIR TIME THE FIRST DAY
BACK AS WELL. DIRECTOR WINEGAR GIVE SOLID UPDATES ON THE VISIT. I AGREE IT WOULD BE NICES TO HEAR FROM JACKIE ABOUT SOME OF THOSE NUANCE DETAILS THE DIFFERENT SCHOOL SITES SHE IS VERY EXCITING TO
LISTEN TO AND GETS YOU HYPED UP ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING. THEN, I ALSO ATTENDED A CONFERENCE SO THE AVID CONFERENCE THAT STAFF WENT TO AND THEY HAVE A ONE DAY LEADERSHIP COMPONENT SO IT IS FREE TO DISTRICT LEADERS TO ATTEND IT SO I ATTENDED
THAT AND WENT FOR A FEW HOURS FIRST HALF OF THE DAY AND THEN I JUST GOT TO HEAR THE AVID PROGRAM, THEIR MODEL, HOW IT IS OUTERLIZED IN DISTRICTS THEN I THINK IT IS A FOCUS ON A LOT OF THE SKILL BUILDING AND THE THINGS THAT WE
HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT AS PRIORITIES ESPECIALLY AROUND THE FUNCTIONAL SKILLS STUDY HABITS AND HOW TO TAKE FOOD NOTES HO HOW TO MANAGE A NOTEBOOK AND HOW TO COLLECT DATA AROUND LEARNING, SO ONE OF THENG THISES THAT WAS
MOST COMPELLING FOR ME IS COLLECTING DATA AROUND RELATIONAL CAPACITY BECAUSE LEARNING IS A SOCIAL ACTIVITY SO HOW DO YOU COLLECT DATA TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS INDICATOR OF SUCCESS THEN, THEN, IT ENDS WITH STUDENTS COMING IN AND PRESENTING ON HOW THEY
BENEFITED AND SO, THEY MADE COMMENTS ABOUT BENEFITING AND LIKE PUB PLUCK SPEAKING SKILLS, BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE EFFECT OFLY WITH OTHERS, AND GREAT NOTE TAKING, PEAKING ABLE TO STUDY BETTER FOR TEST, FEELING THEY ARE
BEING SUCCESSFUL AT SCHOOL, SOME SHARED VERY PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL LIKE THE PROGRAMS SAVED THEM AND THEY HAD A LOT OF AMAZING THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS THAT SUPPORTED THEM AND THEN THEY WENT AROUND TO EVERYBODY THAT WAS THERE AND THEY OPENED THEIR
NOTEBOOKS AND SHOWED US THE ACTIVE NOTEBOOKS THAT WAS COOL TO SEE SO I THINK IT WOULD BE FRET FOR I ALL TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT AND SO MAYBE WE COULD LOOK AT ADDING THAT TO THE AGENDA THE PRESENTATION THEN MAYBE HEAR FROM STUDENTS ABOUT HOW IT SUPPORTS THEM BUS WE OFFER IT ELEMENTARY,
MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. SO VERY COOL PROGRAM. THAT IS IT FOR ME. >> GREAT DIRECTOR MYERS. >> I ATTENDED A DCY MEETING AUGUST 11th OUR NEW DAY FOR THE
YOUTH CONGRESS IS SEPTEMBER 29th AT LEGACY. ROUND ROBIN TABLES WERE DOING THAT AND QUITE A FEW OF THE CAB NETH LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE THERE. THIS IS LEGACY CAMPUS.
LAST FRIDAY, I ATTENDED THE 20th ANNIVERSARY OF THE DCYII THERE WAS ICE CREAM, RECOGNITIONS, AUSTIN WAS GIVEN AWARD. ALL THE SAG LEADERS ATTEND AND PLENTY AND LOTS OF STUDENTS FROM THE OUTCOME MISSION. SO IT WAS KIND OF A FUN NIGHT GAMES AND LIKE I
SAID ICE CREAM. LET'S SEE. ALL DUSTINGth. WELL, THE NEW TEACHER DAY. I LIKE TO SEE THE NEW NEW TEACHERS AND THE RETURNING TEACHERS AND IT IS INTERESTING AND EVERYBODY IS PUMPED UP THAT DAY.
AUGUST 13th I ALSO WENT TON THE FIRST SCHOOL VISITS WITH MISS HYATT AND I DID A DIFFERENT, I TRIED TO DO A DIFFERENT FEEDER EVERY YEAR, SO IT JUST APPEARS TEACHERS ARE HAPPY. EVERYONE IS ORGANIZED.
I THINK THEY ARE ALL READIED TO GET BACK TO SCHOOL. THAT IS IT. OH, SAG KICKOFF IS THIS NEXT MONDAY AT ECHO PARK STADIUM. >> DIRECTOR GUYINGER? >> DIRECTOR MOORE AND I RLPC MEETING.
I HAVE DONE AN UPDATE ON THAT AM THEY ARE WORKING ON MORE CONSIST TEN YEARLY SCHEDULE. SO THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE ADDRESSING AND THEY ARE EXCITED BECAUSE IT IS TO BE INVOLVED BE THE NUTS AND WOMANS OF THE NEW POUNDDRY ON 50 AND 51 THEN I THINK THEY WILL BE HELPFUL THAN THE
HIGHLIGHT OF THE MEETING WAS PRESES SEN TATION OF COO ABOUT THE BOND PROGRESS THAT WENT OVER VERY WELL AND THE FIRST APPEARANCE IN PART OF THE SHE KILLED AND I SUSS WEEK SHE AND THAT COMMITTEE WILL WORK GREATLY TOGETHER I DID GO TO THE NEW TEACHER
ORIENTATION THAT WAS EXCITING. ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING MOMENTS IS THAT I HAVE TWO FRIENDS WHO RECENTLY RETIRED FROM THE DISTRICT ONE IS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ONE A LONG TIME ENGLISH TEACHER AND THEIR SON WAS THERE STARTING THE FIRST DAY AT HIGHLAND'S
RANCH HIGH SCHOOL TO WATCH THAT CONTINUE IS EXCITING AND EASY TO PICK OUT. HE IS '7. SO THAT WAS EXCITING. I WAS WITH WELLS AND WE HAD A LOVELY TRIP. HE HAS AN EXCELLENT CAD
LIKE HE DROVE US AROUND IN AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME SEEING EVERYONE. WE DID GET TO SEE A LOT OF STAFF INCLUDING A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS WHERE WE HAD SOME CONSOLATION AND TO MEET WITH THEM TO SEE HOW THEY WERE DOING AND A CHANCE TO TALK TO
THEM. THAT WAS IMPORTANT AS WELL. I ENJOYED IT A GREAT DEAL. THELE SCHOOLS THAT HAD BEEN RENOVATED AGAIN, PAIN, CARPET THE WHOLE BIT THAT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THOSE SCHOOLS PRESENT.
VERY GOOD TURNOUT AT THIS AT THE HIGHLANDS RANCH SENIOR CENTER WHICH IS VERY NICE AND I THOUGHT IT WANT OVER VERY WELL AND A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM OUR DISTRICT OR A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE OUR COUNTY HEARD GOOD THINGS AS ALWAYS SO IT WAS, IT WAS, A LOT.
