>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE I THINK MAX RUTH CADE END COULD NOT MAKE IT TODAY. WE GOING TO LEGEND HIGH SCHOOL. NOW, NOBODY LIKES TO HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY AND NO ONE LIKES TO BE LATE FOR WORK. THE CURRENT ORDER OF SCHOOL STARTS IS HIGH SCHOOL FIRST,
MIDDLE SCHOOL SECOND, AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LAST. IT'S TO NO SUPPLIES THAT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE MORE HOMEWORK AND MORE AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. THAN ANY ANOTHER OTHER YOUNGER STUDENT AND IT CAN BUILDUP ON AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS STAY UP UNTIL 11.
IN FACT UCLA HEALTH STATES THERE IS A SHIFT IN TIMING OF YOURSELF CADE I CAN RHYTHMS BEFORE PUBELY YOUR BODY MAKES YOU SLEEPY AROUND 8 AND 9 P.M. THIS SHIFT A COMPANY OF HOURS LATER AND TELLS YOU TO GO TO SLEEP AROUND STEP, AND 11
PREPONDERANCE. THE OLDER KIDS ARE WAKING UP EARLIEST AND HIGH SCHOOLKIDS HAVE TO GET TO SCHOOL ON THEIR OWN YOUNGER STUDENT DO NOT. PAYMENTS SAYS ARE GETS TO GO WORK LATER DUE TO HAVING TO DROP OFF THEIR YOUNG EFFORT KIDS
BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT SEEMING SCHEDULE. EL MEDICAL TRY SCHOOLS AT EIGHT. HIGH SCHOOL 820. AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STARTING AT 8:50. THIS PUTS HIGH SCHOOLER INS A BETTER POSITION TO GET SLEEP WHILE MAINTAINING SPORTS, JOBS
AND HOMEWORK AND OTHER SUCH THINGS WE BELIEVE THAT ELEMENT ARE ARE YOU GOING EARLIEST STARTING AT 730 AT THAT. MIDDLE SCHOOL SECOND AT 8 AND HIGH SCHOOL STARTING LATEST AT 8:30 WOULD BE MOST OPTIMAL FOR ALL OF THE STUDENTS AND PARENTS.
THIS CHANGE HELPS. DROP OFF YOUNGER KIDS AND STILL MAKE IT TO WORK IN TIME. AND GET ALL THE AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES DONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR LISTENING.
>> THANK YOU. GREGORY. [ APPLAUSE ] >> ALL RIGHT. HAYDEN KERSEY. >> GOOD EVENING. DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK MY NAME IS ZANE KERSEY I AIM A SENIOR AT LEND EDGE HIGH SCHOOL I AM HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT YOU AFFECTS ME AND MANY OTHERS LIKE ME.
I THINK A SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENT AND LIKE OTHERS I LOVE SPORTS, LEGEND HIGH SCHOOL HAS THE BEST UNIFIED PROGRAM IN THE DRIBBLE. WATCHING UP FIGHT CURRENTLY OFFERS SIX DIFFERENT SPORTS. THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY SPORTS
IS IMPORTANT TO ME. HOWEVER, MY OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY SPORTS AGAINST OTHER TEAMS IS LIMITED. NOT THAT MANY SCHOOLS PARTICIPATE IN UP IDENTIFIED SPORTS. WHY IS THAT? DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ONLY PAYS THREE ACTIVITY
STIPENDS CURRENTLY GIVING MOST SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENT ONLY THREE SPORTS TO PLAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SCHOOLS GET TO CHOOSE WHAT WOULD SPORTS THEY WANT TO PLAY. THIS MEANS THAT NOT ONLY SCHOOLS PLAY THE SAME SPORTS.
THIS LIMITS THE COMPETITION AND THE GAMES THAT I HAVE FOR UP FIGHT. WHY IS PLAYING SPORTS SO IMPORTANT FOR US? UP FIGHT SUNDAY JUST SPORTS. IT REPRESENTS MEETING OTHERS AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS, BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS AND
MAKES MY WORLD A BIGGER PLACE. AND GIVES ME OPPORTUNITIES THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE AND TEACHES ME LIFE SKILLS AND BOOSTS MY CONFIDENCE. HOW DO WE GET MORE TEAMS TO BE INVOLVED AND FIX THE NUMBER, NUMBER ONE, EDUCATION, EDUCATES
EVERYONE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF THE UNIFIED SPORTS AND WHAT IT MEANS TO SO MANY STUDENT. INCLUDING AHEAD MINUTE SPACE IN THE DISTRICT AND EVENING INDICATING SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AND COACHES ABOUT
DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY HAVE IF THEY PARTNER WITH A SPECIAL OLYMPICS. ENCOURAGE MORE SCHOOLS. TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS UP FIGHT CHAMPION SCHOOL CONFERENCE TO LEARN ABOUT THIS PROGRAM.
NUMBER TWO, OFFER AN ADDITIONAL STIPEND. OFFERING AN ADDITIONAL STIPEND FOR A FOURTH SPOT WILL ENCOURAGE MORE COACHES TO GET INVOLVED AND PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN DIFFERENT SPORTS. NUMBER THREE, A HIGHER STIPENDS.
CURRENTLY UP IDENTIFIED COACHES ARE PAID A 500-DOLLAR ACTIVITY STIPEND FOR THE SEASON. INCREASING THE SOMETIMES END WILL ATTRACT MORE QUALIFIED AND SPERMSED COACHES.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF THIS IMPORTANT MATTER. [ APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, MOVING TO OUR REMOTE ZOOM WE HAVE MILES CORTEZ
AND THEN GO BACK IN PERSON TO JENNIFER IVERSON AND BRIANNA RANGER. REMOTE, MILES, ARE YOU THERE? >> CAN I HEAR ME? >> YES, WE CAN. GO AHEAD.
>> HI. YOU ALL ARE IN RECEIPT TO A LETTER THAT I SENT TO THE BOARD LAST FLIGHT AND I WILL READ A BIT OF THAT. LAST FALL THE DCSD OFFICE OF CHOICE PROGRAMMING ISSUE AID DRAFT REVISION TO AND DID A FIRST READING OF THE LBD.
THE CHATTER SCHOOL POLICY THAT DUTCHERS DCSD. I THINK IT SHOULD COM PORT WITH STATE LAW. STATE LAW ON EXPANSION CRS 223RD.IF I HAVE SIX ACCEPTING IS VERY CLEAR. IT SAYS, A CHARTERING AUTHORITY MAY NOT RESTRICT THE NUMBER OF
PUPILS A CHARTER SCHOOL MAY END ROLEX SAM A CHARTER AND CHARTERING AUTHORITY MAY NEGOTIATE AND AGREE TO LIMITATIONS ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THE CHARTER MAYEN ROLL AS NECESSARY TO "A" FACILITATE THE ACADEMIC SUCCESS OF STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE CHARTER SCHOOL, "B", FACILITATE THE CHARTER
SCHOOL'S ABILITY TO ACHIEVE THE OTHER OBJECTIVE SPECIFIED IN THE CHARTER CONTRACT, AND "C" INSURE THAT THE CHARTER SCHOOL'S ENROLLMENT DOES NOT EXCEED THE CAPACITY OF THE CHART SCHOOL FACILITY OR THE SITE. THAT'S THE LAW. AS THE LBD DOCUMENT CURRENTLY IS
WRITTEN FOR THE SECOND READING BEFORE THE DCSD BOARD TONIGHT, CHARTERS INTERESTED IN QUOTE, EXPANDING OR ADDING GRADE LEVELS OR MAJOR PROGRAMS AT THE SAME PHYSICAL LOCATION WOULD HAVE TO GO ON THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS WITH THE DISTRICT. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT REQUIRED BISTATE LAW.
THE WAY THE DOCUMENT IS WRITTEN, A CHARTER WOULD NEED TO APPLY TO INCREASE END ROLE. FROM, PRECIPITATION, 500 STUDENT TO 501 STUDENT ON THEIR EXISTING CAMPUS. AS WRITTEN, LBD MAY CREATE
LIABILITY BY IMPOSING RULES ON CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT IS NOT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. TO THAT END I WON'T READ THE REST. BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE BOARD DELAY TONIGHT'S
VOTE ON THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ERIN KANE FOR SENDING ME AN EMAIL IN WHICH SHE ACKNOWLEDGES THE DISTRICT, QUOTE, CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CAPEN ROLE. IN EXISTING GRADES AND
PROGRAMMING THEREFORE STAFF WILL BE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION REGARDING CHANGING THE LANGUAGE. BUT THE LANGUAGE NEEDS ADDITIONAL WORK. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE HERE THAT THE GENESIS OF THESE LBD RESIPPINGS AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND IT, WAS TO MAKE A COUPLE OF DATE CHANGES.
AND WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS. AND THAT'S IT. AND A COUPLE TWO CHARTER ATTORNEYS THAT I HAD LOOK AT THIS LANGUAGE -- A BUNCH OF WORK FOR OTHER SCHOOLS AROUND THE STATE. -- >> 15 SECONDS REMAINING. >> AND THEIR LBD POLICY BY
SIMPLY CHANGING THOSE DATES. IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT MANY DISTRICTS AROUND THIS STATE DO NOT EVEN HAVE AN EXPANSION SESSION. IN THEIR LBD POLICY BECAUSE STATE LAW IS CLEAR ON WHAT IS REQUIRED.
>> THANK YOU. >> IN PERSON, JENNIFER IVERSON AND THEN BRIANNA RANGER.
>> THIS EVENING I AM SPEAKING FOR DOUGLAS COUNTY PARENTS. AS WE LOOK TOWARD THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION IN OUR REGION, IT'S CLEAR THAT DCSD FACES BOTH CHALLENGES AND EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES. DOUGLAS COUNTY PARENTS IS
ENCOURAGED BY THE SESSIONS FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SO ENGAGING. SO FAR THE SURVEY HAS REVEALED THAT OUR POPULATION IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIVERSE AND 92% OF
RESPONDENTS VIEW THAT AS AN IMPORTANT IN ADDITION PLANNING FOR OUR SCHOOLS. DIVERSITY BRINGS RICHNESS TO OUR CLASSROOMS AND TO OUR COMMUNITIES. BUT IT ALSO REQUIRES US TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT HOW WE APPROACH EDUCATION. WE MUST INSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS FEEL SEEN, HEARD, AND VALUED,
REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITIES, SKIN COLOR OR SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. THIS IS NOT JUST A MORAL IMPERATIVE, BUT AN EDUCATIONAL ONE AS WELL. RESEARCH CONSISTENTLY SHOWS THAT STUDENTS THRIVE IN ENVIRONMENTS WHERE DIVERSITY IS EMBRACED AND
WHERE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING PRACTICES. AT THE SAME TIME, WE HEARING FROM 98% OF RESPONDENTS THAT FINDING AND RETAINING SKILLED EDUCATORS BILL BECOME MORE DIFFICULT IN THE YEARS TO COME. TEACHERS ARE CORNERSTONE OF --
ARE THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. AND WE MUST CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE SUPPORTING THEM. WHETHER THROUGH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. FAIR COME PENN STATION OR CREATE A WORKING ENVIRONMENTS THAT FOSTERS THEIR PASSION AND GROWTH. EDUCATORS NEED THE RESOURCES AND TRAINING TO IMMEDIATE THE NOTES
OF INCREASINGLY DIVERSE CLASS ROOMS, AND TO LEVERAGE THE TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS THAT WILL HELP THEM REACH EVERY LEARNER. RECOGNIZING THAT THE SKILLS NEEDED TO SUCCEED IN THE FUTURE ARE EVOLVING. TODAY'S STUDENTS MUST BE GIVEN
EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO GROW IN THE FACT-BASE KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. OUR STUDENTS MUST BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT WORKS FOR THEM, COLLABORATE EFFECT TIMING WITH OTHERS AND KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH A.I. AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE THEIR LEARNING, THEY MUST ALSO DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO
DISCERN WHAT INFORMATION IS TRUSTWORTHY AND USEFUL. MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FACTS AND EVIDENCE NOT MISINFORMATION OR BIAS. PROBLEM SOLVING WILL BE ANOTHER KEY SKILL FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE SMART RISKS, WEIGH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS
AND THINK ABOUT HOW THEIR DECISION AFFECT OTHERS. THIS IS THE KIND OF CRITICAL THINKING AND EMPATHY THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO NAVIGATE COMPLEX, REAL WORLD ISSUES. EN NBA CLOSING, THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPENDS ON HOW
WELL WE ADULTS ADAPT TO THESE CHANGING NEEDS. WE MUST INSURE THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE PLACES WHERE DIVERSITY IS CELEBRATED, EDUCATORS ARE SUPPORTED AND STUDENT ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO THRIVE IN AN INTERCONNECTIONED AND INCLUSIVE FAST-CHANGING WORLD.
TOGETHER THIS COMMUNITY CAN CREATE AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE -- >> THANK YOU. >> THIS TRUE THERE LI PREPARE OUTS STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS. THANK YOU.
>> BRIANNA RANGER. >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TONIGHT ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIORITIZING SUPPORT SERVICES FOR STUDENTS.
ESPECIALLY OUR TWICE EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS THAT WILL HELP SHAPE THE DISTRICT'S STRATEGIC PLAN. AS YOU REVIEW TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, FOR THE STRATEGIC PLANNING I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT QUESTION NUMBER 4.
WHICH ASKED WHAT CURRENT PROGRAMS OR PRACTICES DO YOU BELIEVE ARE ESSENTIAL AND SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE. WHILE THE TOP RESPONSE WAS OBVIOUSLY A STRONG FOCUS ON TEACHING FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS. THE SECOND MOST SELECTED RESPONSE WAS SUPPORT SERVICES. WHICH WAS DESCRIBED TO INCLUDE
COUNSELING, SPECIAL EDUCATION, AND GIFTED EDUCATION. THIS IS A POWERFUL STATEMENT FROM OUR COMMUNITY. PARENTS, TEACHERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS RECOGNIZE THAT ACADEMIC SUCCESS IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN STUDENTS RECEIVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED. YET DESPITE THIS CLEAR PRIORITY,
OUR DISTRICT IS STRUGGLING TO IDENTIFY AND SERVE TWICE EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS. THOSE WHO ARE BOTH GIFTED AND HAVE A DISABILITY. AS OF THE 2023/24 SCHOOL YEAR, ONLY 1.32% OF OUR STUDENTS, JUST
818 OUT OF 62,000, HAVE BOTH AN IEP AND AN ALP. NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH INCLUDING FROM AN INTERNATIONAL DYSLEXIA ASSOCIATION AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR GIFTED CHILDREN ESTIMATE THAT 2-5% OF
SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN ARE TWICE EXCEPTIONAL. THIS MEANS THAT HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT WHO NEED SERVICES OR DIFFERENTIATION ARE NOT BEING IDENTIFIED AND SUPPORTED A PHONP ON RATLEY. TWICE EXCEPTIONAL STUDENT DON'T
FIT INTO A SINGLE CATEGORY. THEIR CHALLENGES CAN MASK THEIR ABILITIES AND THEIR ABILITIES CAN MASK THEIR CHALLENGES. WITHOUT INTENTIONAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE IDENTIFICATION AND SUPPORT. THESE STUDENTSES ARE AT RISK BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE CLAS CLASSROOM.
OUR DISTRICT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THAT BY STREP THENNING EVALUATION PROCESS INCLUDING INTRODUCING DISABILITY SCREENERS, IMPROVING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING ON TWICE EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS AND INSURING GIFTED AND SPECIAL EDUCATION WORK TOGETHER TO MEET STUDENT'S NEEDS. OUR COMMUNITY MADE IT CLEAR THAT
SUPPORT SERVICES IS MATTER. NOW WE MUST MAKE SURE THE DISTRICT PLAN SUPPORTS THAT. INSURE THAT THE SUPPORT SERVICES RECEIVE THE INVESTMENT AND ATTENTION THEY DESERVE. BECAUSE WHEN WE FAIL TO SUPPORT TWICE EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS, WE DON'T JUST HOLD THEM BACK, WE HOLD BACK THE FUTURE POTENTIAL
OF OUR ENTIRE DISTRICT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT. SO WE WILL MOVE INTO THE CONSENT
AGENDA. DO I HAVE A MOTION REGARDING CONCEPTS AGENDA DA. DIRECTOR WINEGAR. >> I WOULD LIKE TO PULL NUMBER FIVE APPROVE OF BOARD OF EDUCATION SELF-HE VAGUES OF GOVERNANCE PROCESS, 1.4, OTHER
BOARD OFFICERS. >> WE REMOVING EN 15. ANYONE ELSE? >> I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE 16. APPROVAL OF BOARD SELF-EVAL OF GOVERNANCE PROCESS 1.3. >> OKAY. ANYONE ELSE.
>> SO DO I HAVE A MOTION REGARDING ITEMS NINE PLAINTIFF 14. >> REMREMOVE APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MOTION BY GEIGER, SECOND BY MYERS. GEIGER. >> AYE. >> MEEK. >> AYE. >> MOORE. >> AYE. >> MYERS.
>> AYE. >> THOMPSON. >> AYE. >> WILLIAMS, AYE. WINEGAR. >> AYE. >> GREAT, PASSES 7-0. AND THEN WE WILL GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT ITEM 151ST. DIRECTOR WINEGAR.
YES, SO ON ITEM 15 ABOUT OTHER OFFICERS. DIRECTOR MEEK DID A SELF-EVALUATION AND I REALLY APPRECIATE HOW YOU SUMMARIZED WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE LAST MEETING AROUND THIS EVALUATION. I WAS JUST REQUESTING THAT MAYBE WE NOT EVEN INCLUDE THE TWO
ITEMS THAT YOU HAD BROUGHT UP BEFORE THAT WERE THEN FOUND COMPLIANT BECAUSE PUTTING IT IN HERE COMES ACROSS AS IF IT'S A DING OR IT WAS BAD WHEN IT ACTUALLY WAS COMPLIANT. SO MAYBE A BETTER WAY OF PHRASING IT WOULD BE JUST TO SAY WE CAN LOOK INTO OUR POLICY ON A
YEP DA PLANNING TO -- ABOUT HOW THINGS NEED TO BE RIP AND HAVE THAT BE MORE CLEAR. JUST SOME SUGGESTIONS. BECAUSE TO ME THIS IS COMING ACROSS THAT PRESIDENT WILLIAMS DID SOME THINGS NONCOMPLIANT WITH THE POLICY EVEN THOUGH THEY
WERE FOUND COMPLIANT ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS MENTIONED IN THERE. SO IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND RESPONDING. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND FOR RECOGNIZING I REALLY TRIED HARD TO RECOGNIZE WHAT OUR DISCUSSION WAS LAST TIME.
WE SPENT OVER 30 MINUTES I THINK TALKING THROUGH THESE POLICIES. AND I KNOW THERE WERE QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY AROUND WHAT POLICY IN PARTICULAR ON THE AGENDA PLANNING. AND SO THAT L LANGUAGE WAS ADDED
IN TO IT TO HAVE THAT LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY. AND THEN THERE WERE SOME CONCERCONCERNS AROUND LANGUAGE G SUBJECTIVE AND ABOUT WHAT THE POLICY MIGHT BE DESIRED. TODAY DO VERSUS ACTUAL LANGUAGE.
SO THE UPDATES THAT I DID ACTUALLY PULL SPECIFIC STATEMENTS FROM BOARD CORRESPONDENTS SO THERE IS REALLY NO SUBJECTIVITY. IT'S ACTUAL STATEMENTS THAT WERE MADE. AND I THINK MY DESIRE FOR
KEEPING IT ABOUT, "D" BECAUSE I KNOW WE DID TALK ABOUT ALSO JUST SIMPLY STATING REFER TO 1.3 POLICY. BECAUSE THERE IS REDUNDANCY THERE, ABOUT BUT 1.3 DOESN'T COVER THE AREAS THAT WE SPENT
TIME A DISCUSSING AND, YOU KNOWI HAVE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT THIS POLICY. AND OUR WORK THAT WE ARE DOING ON THE SELF EVALUATION. AND IT'S REALLY NOT JUST ABOUT BEING A FORMALITY TO SAY CHECK OR COMPLIANT. IT'S AROUND, YOU KNOW,
COLLECTIVELY LEARNING TOGETHER. AND REALLY LOOKING AT OUR PRACTICES AND POLICIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CONTINUALLY IMPROVING. IN OUR PRACTICE. AND THE A YEP DA SETTING IS
CONVERSATION, YOU KNOW, WE HAD DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES THAT WERE SHARED UP HERE LAST TIME AND I KNOW IT FIND OF FELT LIKE LANDS ON THE GROUND OVERCOME MIND MADE SENSE BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE JOB LIKE I SAID LAST TIME.
IT IS A HUGE JOB TO BE BOARD PRESIDENT. MY DESIRE WITHOUT OUTLINING THESE ITEMS IS BECAUSE IT HELPS TO BUILD BUILD FUTURE PRACTICES IF WE AGREE TO WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW WE NEED TO FOLLOW POLICY
MOVING FORWARD. THAT WAS MY INTENT KEEP IT IN HERE BUT OVERALL SAYING IT WAS COMPLIANT. I THINK THE AGENDA SETTING CONVERSATION IS REALLY IMPORTANT. WE NEED TO PREVENT PERCEPTIONS
OF FAVORITISM OR BACKDOOR DECISION MAKING. WE JUST HAVE TO REINFORCE THAT WE ARE DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC AND BEING TRANSPARENT. AGAIN, EVERYTHING IN HERE IS
FACTUAL AT THIS POINT IN TIME. >> YES, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE IT FACTUAL IT DEFINITELY STOOD OUT TO ME. I THINK WHAT I AM WORRYING THAT WHAT IT'S TURNING INTO IS PICKING APART THINGS THAT WE DON'T LIKE THAT OTHER BOARD
MEMBER DID RATHER THAN IT ACTUALLY BREAKING POLICY, BECAUSE IF THESE ITEMS REPORTS BREAKING THIS POLICY, WE ARE EVAL WAITING WHY EVERYBODY PUT IT IN HERE. SO THAT'S THE ISSUE THAT I HAD
WITH IT. >> I WILL JUST SAY THAT I BELIEVE THAT WE HAD A GOOD ROBUST CONVERSATION BACK IN NOVEMBER ABOUT THIS. , ABOUT THE FRUSTRATION WITH ME MAKING A VERBAL AGREEMENT PRIOR
TO AGENDA PLANNING. AT THAT TIME I THE I WOULD RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND I ACTUALLY DID HAVE AN EMAIL I DID HAVE AN EMAIL BEFORE ME BEFORE AGENDA PLANNING. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WAS A
POLICY THAT WAS BROKEN. SO I AM THANKFUL YOU MOVED IT TO COMPLIANT BUT I AGREE WITH DIRECTOR WINEGAR THIS IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE THESE SELF-EVALUATIONS ARE ABOUT PICKING EACH OTHER APART BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD THIS DISCUSSION AND NOW HAD IT A COUPLE OF
DIFFERENT TIMES. AND I BELIEVE THAT AT THOSE TIMES, WE TALKED ABOUT IT, AND I ACCEPTED WHERE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS MAYBE DISAGREED WITH SOMETHING, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I NECESSARILY BROKE POLICY. AND IF WE NEED TO LOOK AT
SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR HOW, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY. THEN I AM WILLING TO DO THAT. BUT THAT'S WHERE I AM. DIRECTOR MYERS. >> JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.
AND IT MIGHT KIND OF GO OVER INTO DIRECTOR MEEK'S PULLING THE NUMBER 16 ALSO. SO IN OUR NUMBER 15 WITH OUR 1.4, WHICH IS OUR OTHER BOARD OFFICERS, AND I FELT LIKE WE
TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT THE LAST TIME THAT POSSIBLY WE COULD REMOVE THE BOARD PRESIDENT EVALUATION FROM THIS 1.3 AND THEN MAYBE KIND OF THAT IT WOULD GET RID OF SOME OF THIS CONVERSATION AND THEN JUST FOCUS
ON THE ONE POINT -- WELL, 1.4 AND FOCUS 1.3 WHICH IS THE BOARD PRESIDENT RESPONSIBILITIES BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE KIND OF REDUNDANT WITH BOTH. I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW. AND THEN OF COURSE, I AM IN AGREEMENT WITH THE FACT THAT
WITH -- I DON'T FEEL THAT OUR PRESIDENT BROKE POLICY WHEN A TEACHER CONTACTED HER SPECIFICALLY. AND PARTICULARLY I THINK THIS HAPPENS ACROSS THE BOARD THAT SOME OF US DO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR TEACHERS. AND MAYBE GO IN TO SCHOOLS AND
VISIT WITH PARTICULAR TEACHERS. AT MAYBE THE REQUEST. AND MAYBE VISITATION. SO I AM NOT IN AGREEMENT THAT SHE BROKE POLICY WITH THAT. AND ALSO WITH THE A YEP DA PLANNING, I FELT LIKE SHE WAS VERY CLEAR ON MAKING SURE THAT
WE UNDERSTOOD THE TIMELINE. WORKING WITH THE CHARTER -- THE -- I THINK IT WAS CHARTER SCHOOL CSI. AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN STATING THAT WE HAVE
THE EARS OF CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE UP KICK TIFF OF ALL SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS. THAT SOMEBODY HAS THAT. I THINK WE HAVE SAID FROM UP HERE BEFORE THAT WE HAVE HAD SOMEBODY HAS REACHED OUT OR
SOMEBODY EMAILED OR I WAS OUT IN PUBLIC OR I WAS AT A SCHOOL. AND SO I THINK THAT'S JUST UP KICK TIFF OF PEOPLE HAVING OUR EAR, WHICH IS GOING TO BE VERY -- IT'S GOING TO BE WHAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING WHEN WE ARE OUT IN PUBLIC WITH PEOPLE AND ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE
VISITING OUR SCHOOLS. I THINK WE ARE IN COMPLIANT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THE -- I THINK IT'S ON THE 1.4, I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THE LANGUAGING REGARDING WHAT OUR PRESIDENT DID. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> YEAH, SO MY INTERPRETATION WAS JUST THIS WAS A WRITTEN
RECORD OF THE ORIGINAL POLICY AND THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD AND THE CONCLUSION THAT KIND OF WAS ASSESSED BY THE WHOLE BOARD I I SEE IT AS A TRANSPARENT PROCESS TO WHAT THE CONCERNS WERE AND WHAT OUR RESOLUTION
WAS. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> THIS PROCESS ONLY WORKS IF WE ARE HONEST WITH OURSELVES. AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT I GUESS IS OPEN TO DISCUSSION, I DON'T WANT TO REDEBATE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE AGENDA SETTING. I HAD MY POSITION, I HAVE
EXPRESSED IT. YOU POINT OUT THAT AT THE DECEMBER RETREAT THERE WAS AN INNOCUOUS AGENDA ITEM ABOUT COME PLYING WITH BOARD NORMS THAT TURNED OUT TO BE THAT SOME MECHANICS OF THE BOARD DIDN'T LIKE THINGS I HAD POSTED ON
SOCIAL MEDIA I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT CONVERSATION 15 TIMES SINCE THAT DAY. AND TRY TO REEVAL STRAIGHT WHAT I DID AND SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER AND APOLOGIZED TO NECKS OF THIS BOARD. BECAUSE IF WE ARE NOT EVALUATING EACH OTHER, THERE IS NOBODY
ELSE. AND SO I END THE CONCERNS I DON'T WANT TO TURN THESE IN TO NITPICKING AT EACH OTHER. BUT THERE WERE, ESPECIALLY BASED ON THE PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL PROCESS, CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THAT
PARTICULAR A YEP DA ITEM STARTED. I DON'T EVER WANT THE AGENDA ITEM, I DISAGREE WITH DIRECTOR MYERS SAYING THAT WE TALKED TO SOMEBODY IS DIFFERENT THAN SAYING THAT SOMEBODY GETS PRIORITY ON OUR AGENDA. OUR A YEP DA IS A VERY PRECIOUS A THING, WE ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME.
ME SAYING I HAVE TALKED TO THE BOARD IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN GETTING AN EMAIL FROM SOMEBODY SAYING I HAVE ALREADY PROMISED 40 MINUTES ON OUR AGENDA TO SOMEBODY. ESPECIALLY FOR THAT TO THEN SHOW UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I THINK THERE WAS HARM THERE
THAT WAS GREATER THAN SOME THING THINK WITH HE NEED TO DECIDE AS A GROUP HO WO WE DO SELF EVALUAN AND THAT WE DO IT TO ALL OF US AND HOW WE ARE GOING IT CHANGE OUR BEHAVIOR. WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL VIE VIOLATION OF THE GOVERNING PROCESS, I APPRECIATE
THAT DIRECTOR MEEK PUT THIS IN THERE CHARACTERIZED IT. I DON'T THINK IT'S' OVERALL INDICTMENT OF PRESIDENT WILLIAMS. I DON'T READ IT WHAT THAT WAY AND IT'S NOT MY INTENT. I THINK IN GENERAL WE ARE IN COMPLIANCE.
THE FACT THAT WE CAN USE THIS TO EXPRESS CONCERNS FROM SOME MEMBERS OF THE BOARD IS A VALUABLE WAY WAY DO IT. AND WE'LL ALL TAKE OUR WAY FORWARD. I AGREE WITH HER IN COMPLIANCE. I THINK PARTICULARLY THE I THINK IT SHOULD BE REMAIN IN THERE AS
A RECORD OF A DISCUSSION THAT THE BOARD HAD. >> DIRECTOR MEEK. >> I DON'T WANT US TO SPEND TOO MUCH MORE TIME ON THIS HONESTLY. I THINK WE PROBABLY SAID EVERYTHING LAST MEETING.
AND SO I TRIED TO REFLECT ANY VERY -- IN A VERY FACTUAL MAPPER WHAT A HEARD FROM THE LAST MEETING AND PUTTING IT IN TO HERE. SO MY BELIEF IS THAT WE GROW AND IMPROVE AS A GOVERNANCE TEAM IF WE ARE WILLING TO JUST BE HONEST
WITH EACH OTHER AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS. AND LEARN FROM THE PAST. AND I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE MODELING. NOT ONLY TO STUDENTS, OUR EMPLOYEES AND EVERYONE. SO I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THIS AND I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE
IT'S MAYBE FRUITFUL TO CONTINUE. I AM FIND WITH STEPPING ASIDING AND LETTING SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THIS OVER. BUT MY NAME IS ON IT. ILLINOIS LIKE OMITTING INFORMATION THAT I THINK WILL
HELP US BE STRONGER AS A BOARD MOVING FORWARD, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DOING THAT. BUT I AM HAPPY TO STEP ASIDE AND LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE ON GP1 IF4 IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO.
>> YOU YEAH, I DON'T MIND TAKING IT. I'LL USE A LOT OF WHAT YOU HAVE. >> NOT TO BE ROBERT WOOLS, I THINK I WOULD MOVE TO TABLE 1.4 TO DISCUSS AMENDMENTS AND HAVE IT REASSIGNED TO DIRECTOR
WYNEGAR. >> SECOND. >> DISCUSSION. >> WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT IS THAT? >> THAT'S ALSO WHY I PULLED 1.3. BECAUSE THEY REALLY ARE SO INTERTWINED AND MAYBE IT'S ONE DO YOU WANT. THAT'S DISCUSSING BOTH. I DON'T KNOW. I THINK BOTH OF THEM NEED TO BE
LOOKED AT TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME. >> SO ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT WE TABLE BOTH AND THEN VOTE ON THEM AT A MEETING TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME? >> I THINK SO. >> OKAY. >> DIRECT FAR MOORE. >> IN A NOT BE THE RIGHT ORDER,
BUT WHEN WOULD BE THE TIME TOO REEVALUATE POLICY 1.4 AND POTENTIALLY REMOVE A SECTION ABOUT THE PRESIDENT ALTOGETHER SO THAT IT'S REALLY ALL COVERED IN 1.3. >> YEAH, SO I SAID THAT I WOULD DO THAT. AND I WILL PUT THAT ON A FEW AIR YEP DA. PROBABLY JUST ON CONCEPT BECAUSE
WE ARE TAKING OUT THAT AND SAY SEE 1.3 OR WHATEVER IT IS. >> I WOULD ACCEPT THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT FROM DIRECTOR MEEK TO TABLE BOTH 1.15 AND 16 FOR REEVALUATION BY AT BOARD AT A LATER DATE WITH 1.4 TO BE RECONSIDERING BY DIRECTOR
WINEGAR. >> ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT, DIRECTOR WINEGAR? >> JUST QUICK BEFORE THE DISCUSSION CLOSES TO ADD TO THE TOPIC. THE TREASURER HAS REDIP CAN'T RATINGS AS WELL.
THEY BOTH EL VALUATE THE SAME THING IF WE ARE LOOKING FOR MAKING A JUST TO HIMS POLICY WE COULD LOOK AT THE LAST POLICY WE JUST PASSED. >> REQUEST THE NAME OF IT. BUT IT'S THE ONE THAT LOOKED AT THE FISCAL AND THE FRESH EARER'S POINTS.
>> GEIGER. >> AYE. >> MEEK. >> AYE. >> MOORE. >> AYE. >> MYERS. >> AYE. >> THOMPSON. >> AYE. >> WILLIAMS, AYE. WHIP TKPWER. >> AYE. >> GREAT, PASSES 7-0. MOVING ON TO ITEM 17. THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES THE
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVES THE MINUTES FROM THE REGULAR MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 11th AND THE SPECIAL MEETING FROM FEBRUARY EVEN. GO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MEETING MINUTE SAYS LISTED? >> MEETING TO APPROVE MEETING
MINUTES. >> SECONDED. >> MOTION BY MYERS, SECOND BY THOMPSON. GEIGER AYE. >> MEEK. >> AYE. >> MOORE. >> AYE. >> MYERS. >> AYE. >> THOMPSON. >> AYE. >> WILLIAMS, AYE. QUINE TKPWER. >> AYE. >> PASSES 7-0O TO ITEM 18. SCHOOL CAPACITY AND BOUNDARY
ANALYSIS. FOR A 20 MINUTE PRESENTATION AND A 10-MINUTE Q&A. >> YOU CAN SEE OUR FOLKS COMING UP TO TALK ABOUT SCHOOL CAPACITY AND BOUNDARY ANALYSIS AND WE'LL START WITH CHIEF OPERATOR
OFFICER RICH COSGROVE. >> TEST. GOOD EVENING, DIRECTORS. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. WE HAVE OUR PLANNING MANAGER SHAVON COLDWELL. DIRECTOR OF CHOICE PROGRAM GORDON MOSER IN CASE WE HAVE QUESTIONS.
THE GROUND BOUND ARE YOU ISSUES ALONG THE CROW FOOT CORRIDOR THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO YOU. OUR LONG-RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE GAVE US GREAT ADVICE, WE HAVE INCORPORATED COMMENT IN A PROPOSED LIST OF SCENARIOS. AND OUTREACH STRATEGY FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL AT
THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE SHAVON CALDWELL OUR PLANNING MANAGER. >> ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING, DIRECTORS, I'LL JUST JUMP INTO IT. >> SO I WANTED TO START THE PRESENTATION JUST WITH -- TO
GIVE A LITTLE CONTEXT WITH S CBA. WHAT THAT EFFORTS IS. FOR WHAT I OBJECT SOME DIRECTORS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN THROUGH THIS PROCESS YET. SO IF TOWELING THE PLANNING AND CONSTRICTION WEBSITE YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT S CBA. IT'S AN EFFORT INITIATE ED IN
2019 WHEN WE WERE SLUG SOME UNPRECEDENTED HOUSING GROWTH AT THE TIME OF COVID AND REALIZING THAT OUR DISTRICT WAS UNIQUE IN THE WAY THAT IT WAS GROWING AND DECLINING AT THE SAME TIME. AND WE NEEDED AN ITERATIVE IT PROCESS THAT LOOKED AT THIS ON'
ONGOING BASIS. AND ALSO TO UTILIZE OUR FACILITIES TO THE BEST OF THEIR IDEAL CAPACITY. OUT OF THAT CAME THIS STREAM LINED LIMITED IMPACT PROCESS AND EVERY YEAR THAT'S WHERE WE ARE
FOCUSED ON OUR EFFORTS IS TRYING TO PROACTIVE ASSIGN UNOCCUPIED DEVELOPMENT AREAS TO ALIGN WITH OUR LONG -- OUR LONG-RANGE PLANNING GOALS, SO IN TERM OF DON'T ARE YOU OUT COOMBS, THAT'S JUST A LIST OF WHAT WE ARE
LOOKING ATTA CHIEFING WITH ALL OF THE DID, WITH OUR ANNUAL REVIEW AND WHAT WE PRACTICE HE PROS ANNUALLY. WE ARE LOOKING TO CREATE COHESIVE CONTIGUOUS BOUNDARIES. WE HAVE LOOKING AT TRANSPORTATIONAL OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY. WITH A LOT OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND OUR EFFORTS.
LOOKING AT BALANCING ENROLLMENT AT SCHOOLS AND LOOKING AT CREATING WOULDN'T ARE YOUS BEING A PRO POINT HE WANT OF WOULDN'T ARE YOU CHANGES THAT OFFER LONGEVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY. SO WE ARE NOT HAVING TO CONSTANTLY REVISIT THESE AREAS AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR COMMISSION THE, CONVENIENT AND
SAFE BOUNDARIES FOR STUDENT, SO TALKING ABOUT THAT FROM THE P.E.D. LENS. WE ARE REALLY TRYING TO GIVE OUR STUDENTS WALKABLE SAFE ROUTES TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS. SO WHAT'S BEEN DONE IN THIS EFFORT, IN STARTING TO 2019, WE
DID A LOT OF GROUNDWORK. AND KIND OF FRAMING THE ISSUE. IDENTIFYING WHAT WERE PREFERRED CAPACITY MANAGEMENT TOOLS AND WHICH ONES WEREN'T PREFERRED IN TERMS OF WHAT WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED. THE OVERFLOW SYSTEM TO ADDRESS
GROWTH AND THE CHATFIELD URBAN AREA UNTIL THE NEW SCHOOL CAN BE BUILT THERE. IS ONE OF THE THINGS THE SCUBA TEAM HAS DONE PROVIDING RELIEF AT PRAIRIE CROSSING, A SCHOOL WAS PRETTY OVERCAPACITY FOR QUITE A WHILE. LEADING UP TO THOSE BOUNDARY CHANGES.
REASSIGN. OF THE CANYONS AND CASTLE PINES. BALANCING THE GROWTH COMING OUT OF CRYSTAL VALLEY RANCH AMONGST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FEEDER AND WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT, DIRECTING GROWTH ON THE CROW FOOT VALLEY CORRIDOR TO FACILITIES WITH SEATS.
AND PART OF THAT WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AS DOING. WE ARE TRYING TO RETURN THE McCANN DA DEVELOPMENT BACK TO OF THE CASTLE ROCK SCHOOLS, THAT'S WHAT WE ARE AB TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT, IT'S PHASE TWO BECAUSE WE INITIALLY VISITED THIS IN ME 2024.
AND I'LL GIVE A REMINDER OF WHAT WAS DONE AT THAT TIME. SO THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS THE McCANN AT THAT DEVELOPMENT. THE RED OUT LINE IS WHAT YOU SEE IN THERE -- OR SEE THERE IS
AREAS OF THE DEVELOPMENT. ASSIGNED TO THE AREA SCHOOLS THE AREA IN THE PINK IS LEGACY POINT. STATEMENT WOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL AND POND ROSSA HIGH SCHOOL THE AREA IN THE GREEN SAY SIGNED TO STAGE
CANYON, MESA MIDDLE COOL AND DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL. THE WHAT WAS DONE IN ME 24. WAS ASSIGNED THAT IMPORTANT PORTION OF THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT BACK TO THOSE COSTAL ROCK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT WERE UNOCCUPIED EXEMPTS THREE A
FAMILIES THAT WE WORKED THROUGH WITH THAT PRACTICE HE IS; THAT'S A ANOTHERRED OUT MAP OF THE AREA, YOU'LL TAKE ABOUT THE REASONS. YOU CAN SHY FAR LEGACY POINT IS AWAY IN COMPARE UPON SO SAGE CANYON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THAT'S A SUMMARY OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE CURRENTLY ASSIGNED NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AND WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT FOR REASSIGN. SO WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT DOING? HERE IS THE PROBLEM STATEMENT LIST OUT IN BULLETS.
IN GENERAL WE KNOW THAT THERE IS GROWTH ON THE -- IN THE AREAS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ASSIGNED TO LEGACY POINT. THAT'S INDISPUTABLE. THEY ARE -- THAT AREA -- THAT SCHOOL IS PROJECTED FOR CONTINUAL END ROLE. OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. AND THEY ARE PROJECTED TO BE OUT ABOUT 10040% OF THEIR BUILDING
CAPACITY BY 2029. WE KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE SAGE CAN'T I DON'T KNOW AREA HAS PEAKED SO WE KNOW THAT WE ARE OVER THE GROWTH CURVE IN THAT AREA AND WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE ROOM IN THAT FACILITY AND
THAT WE ARE PROJECTED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE ROOM IN THAT FACILITY. AND AS PART OF THIS EFFORT, WE DID A BUILD OUT STUDY. SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT. BUT WE ARE -- WE ARE -- WE ARE SURE THAT THERE IS ROOM IN THE CASTLE ROCK SCHOOLS AND WE ARE
SURE THAT WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF ROOM IN LEGACY POINT ELEMENTARY. ALSO PROBLEMATIC THAT THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT SPLIT BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOL COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE SOME TROPIC TRANSPORTATION ISSUES THAT COULD BE INVOLVED WITH THE REASSIGN. AND THEN PROBABLY MOST
IMPORTANT, AS WE HAVE HEARD INTEREST FROM THE REGULAR ACCIDENTS OF THAT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT. THEY HAVE PRESSED INTEREST IN ASKING CAN CAN THIS BE ACHIEVED AND WHY REPORT WE GOING TO THE CASTLE ROCK SCHOOLS.
HERE IS HISTORY AND WHY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO THE COSTAL ROCK SCHOOLS IN 2020 SAGE CANYON WAS AT 789 STUDENTS AND THAT FACILITY HAS A CAPACITY OF 650. THEY WERE VERY CROWDED IN 2020
AND REALLY MY UNDERSTANDING I WAS NOT HERE, BUT THAT THE BEST OPTION AT THAT TIME WAS REASSIGNMENT TO LEGACY POINT ELEMENTARY. SO WHAT WE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TODAY IS NOT NOT PROPOSE TO GO DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, JUST WHAT
WE ARE PROPOSE TO GO DO IN TERMS OF OUTREACH AND END GAME. AND THEN THE SCENARIOS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO TAKE TO THE COMMUNITY. AS ASK WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR INPUT AND APPROVAL. SO HERE IS JUST A GENERAL TIMELINE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT -- SORRY.
THAT FIRST ONE SHOULD SAY JANUARY TO FEBRUARY. SO WE ARE THROUGH THE -- AFTER WE GOT OUR -- OR AFTER WE RECEIVED UPDATED ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS IN JANUARY, WE DID OUR RESEARCH ANALYSIS TO OUR BUILD OUT STUDY, MADE SURE THAT WE ARE ALL ON BOARD THAT THIS IS
A GOOD IDEA. ACCORDING TO THE DATA. DEVELOP SOME SCENARIOS WITH A WITH AN EYED SURPRISE ARE YOU COMMITTEE AND WE ARE RIGHT HERE HOPING TO START OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT. AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF BOUNDARY CHANGE. WHO WILL GUIDE AND IMPLEMENT THIS. THERE IS A GROUP OF 15 STAFF MEMBERS ON THE COMMITTEE.
SIX SCHOOLS SPECIFICALLY. TRANSPORTATION, BUM IT'S, STUDENT DATA AND CHOICE PROGRAMMING ARE ALL VERY IMPORTANT IN VISITING THIS AND MAKING THESE DECISIONS. WHO ARE OUR STAKE HOLDER? THAT WILL BE IMPACTED BY THIS THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED? OWE DCSD HOUSEHOLDS OBVIOUSLY.
RESIDING IN THE MACANTA PD. CURRENT AND PERSPECTIVE OPENERS AS WELL. NOT JUST DCSD HOUSEHOLDS. PEOPLES AND PARENTS OF THOSE ATTENDING AND PROPOSED SCHOOLS FOR REASSIGNMENT SPECIFICALLY. MACANTA DEVELOPER AND BUILDERS WE NEED TALK TO ABOUT THE CHANGE
AND STAFF AT IMPACTED SCHOOL LITTLE. THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF DATA ON HOW MANY STUDENTS WE ARE TOUCHING WITH UNTIL PROPOSAL. SO THERE ARE CURRENTLY 250 TOTAL P.K.-12 STUDENTS IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE PD.
216 OF THOSE ARE IN THE AREA THAT WE ARE -- THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT TOP, THAT WE ARE PROPOSAL FOR REASSIGN THINK. THAT'S A BLAKE DOWN OF GRADE LEVEL. AND THIS GIVES A MORE ACCURATE OF WHO WE ARE IMPACT AND WHO WE
ARE IMPACTING MORE IN THIS PROCESS. SO THERE IS 58 TOTAL STUDENTS THAT ARE END ROLLED AT LEGACY POINT. SAILING WOOD OR PONDEROSA HIGH STOOL THAT WE WOULD BE SAYING WE ARE ASKING HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT SWITCHING YOUR CURRENTLY ASSIGNED SCHOOL THAT YOU ARE
CURRENTLY END ROLED AT. FOR OF THOSE TOLL ARE BEING TRANSPORTED TO LEGACY POINT. FOUR OF THOSE STUDENTS ARE UTILIZING TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TO LEGACY POINT. THAT'S AT MOST.
-- AT THE MOST THAT WE HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR. 15 AT THE MOMENTS ARE UTILIZING THE ROUTES TO SAGE WOOD AND PONDEROSA HIGH SCHOOL. 65 STUDENTS ATTENDING OTHER DCSD OPERATED SCHOOLS, 21 ARE ALREADY AT THE TARGET SCHOOLS 21 ARE
ALREADY AT SAILING CANYON, SAGE WOOD OR POINT ROSA. OTHER WAYS AROUND AT SAGE CANYON, MESA OR DUG LAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL. 32 ARE AT OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS I THINK IT'S WORTH MENTIONING THAT ALMOST ALL OF THOSE ARE AT CASTLE ROCK
NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS. SO THEY ARE MAKING THE CHOICE TO GO TO CASTLE ROCK SCHOOLS SPECIFICALLY. I THINK ALL ABOUT LIKE SEVEN OF THOSE. AND THEN 12 ARE AT MAGNET OR ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS AND THEN 93 ARE ATTENDING OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS. SO ABOUT A QUARTER OF THOSE STUDENTS WERE -- ARE ONES THAT
WE WOULD SPECIFICALLY BE ASKING TOLL CONSIDER CHANGING THE SCHOOL THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY END ROLLED AT IN TERMS OF THEIR ASSIGNMENT TO THEIR -- THEIR HOME SCHOOL ASSIGNMENT. THERE IS A BREAKDOWN SPECIFIC NUMBER, SO 58 OF THOSE SIGNEDS
ARE ATTENDING THE POINT ROSA AREA SCHOOLS. 21 ARE ATTENDING OUR TARGET SCHOOLS. ANOTHER 32 ARE ATTENDING OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS. 93 ARE AT CHARTERS AND THEN 12 ARE AT EITHER MAGNET OR HOME
SCHOOL OR ON LINE OPTIONS. THIS IS A MORE AGREE TAIL THE DESCRIPTION OF THAT LINE LINE WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND PROPOSING TO DO. WE HAVE DONE OUR DATA NATURAL AND REPORTING. WE HAVE CONVENED OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE. FRAMED THE ISSUING I. ALL GOTTEN THE SAME PAGE AND
INFORMED AND EDUCATED EVERYBODY WHAT THE ISSUE IS YOU HOW TO COMMUNICATE THIS ISSUE. GAINED CONSENSUS ON WHAT'S FEASIBLE OR NOT FEASIBLE FROM A STAFF PER SPELLING TIFF AND DEVELOPED AND FINALIZED THREE SCENARIOD THIS THAT HELD LIKE TO
TAKE TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'LL GO OVER IN A MINUTE. DEVELOPED AN OUT REACH ENGAGEMENT PLAN WITH THOSE PRIM TRY METHODS AND NOTES THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT AS A COMMITTEE LITS THERE. AND I'LL GO INTO MORE DETAIL. HERE ARE THE SCENARIOS THAT HE WE CAME UP WITH.
SCENARIO 1, DO NOTHING. WE CAN LEAVE IT AS IT IS. THAT'S ALWAYS AN OPTION, SCENARIO TWO AND THREE ARE LOOKING AT THE SAME GEOGRAPHIC REASSIGNMENTS NOT REASSIGNMENT TO ANY OTHER SCHOOLS, SAGE
CANYON AND DOUGLAS COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL AND MESA ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE SENSE. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO COMMUNICATE TO THOSE AFFECTED HERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES IN HOW DO YOU THAT. SO BOTH OPTIONS WE ARE PROPOSING TO HAVE EFFECTIVE FOR.
26/27 SCHOOL YEAR, WE WANT TO GIVE THE PAR PARENTS AND HOUSEHS A LOT OF TIME TO CONSIDER THIS OPTION. THAT'S GIVEN TO THEM. FULL REASSIGNMENT AND ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY LEVELS.
PRIORITY OPEN ENROLLMENT AS AN OPTION. THIS WOULD BE THE WAY THAT THIS WOULD WORK, WOULD BE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT PROPOSING TO IMPLEMENT THIS UNTIL THE 26th/27 SCHOOL YEAR, WHAT ABOUT THOSE KID ONS THAT WANT TO GO TO SAGE CANYON RIGHT NOW. OR WANT TO GO TO MESA OR DOUGLAS
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL RIGHT NOW. SOY WHAT WE ARE -- WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT HERE IS OFFERING PRIORITIZED OPEN END ROLE. FOR THOSE STUDENTS THAT WANT -- THAT WANT TO GO THERE BEFORE THIS REASSIGNMENT IS ACTUALLY IN
EFFECT. LEGACY END ROLE. OPTIONS SO WE ARE NOT ASKING ANYBODY -- WE WOULDN'T ASK ANYBODY TO MOVE FROM LEGACY POINT ELEMENTARY OR STAGE WOOD OR PONDEROSA HIGH SCHOOL, YOU CAN STAY THERE. WE ARE NOT FORCING REASSIGNMENT. YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN STAY THERE IF THAT'S YOUR SCHOOL OF CHOICE. AND THEN OFFER NOTHING LEGACY TRANSPORTATION.
SO YOU CAN STAY THERE, BUT YOU HAVE TO TRANSPORT YOURSELVES THERE. SCENARIO THREE, SAME EXACT SCENARIO, BUT OFFERING ONE YEAR OF LEGACY TRANSPORTATION FOR THOSE STUDENTS THAT WOULD LIKE TO STAY AT LEGACY POINT, SAGE WOOD AND POPPED ROSA.
AN OUTLINE OF THE OUTREACH AND ENGAGE THINK PLAN THAT WE ARE PROPOSAL. RIGHT AWAY. AFTER TONIGHT'S MEETING. AND WE WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK TO YOU WITH THE RECOMMENDATION AT THE MAIN AND JUNE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING.
THE MAIN METHOD WE ARE LOOKING AT TO INFORM AND EDUCATE AND GATHER FEEDBACK AND PROVIDE I WANT ACTIVE INNING GAME. WE WOULD LIKE TO LAUNCH A SUBSTANTIAL WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN GO AND LEARN ALL ABOUT THIS
TOPIC AND INFORMATION AND, HAVE A SURVEY UP THERE TO COLLECT FEEDBACK FROM THOSE IMPACTED. WITH ANY CHANGES WE DO EMAIL, CERTIFIED EMAIL THREE TIMES SO
WE TYPICALLY DO THIS IS UNDER CONSIDERATION. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE. AND THEN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL BE CONSIDERING THAT. WE PROPOSE DOING THAT AS ALWAYS. TABLE AND PRESENTING PREEXISTING MEETING, SO ANY BASKETBALL GAMES WHERE WE COULD CATCH THESE
PARENTS. SACK AND PTO MEETINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THOSE. AND THEN HOLD A SET OF SUBSOME PUBLIC MEETINGS. SO OFFERING ONE VIRTUAL AND ONE IN PERSON. AND TARGETED DIFFERENT KIND OF
STAKEHOLDERS THAT ARE IMPACTED. DEVELOPER AND BUILDING CONCERNS AND HAVING A TOWN HALL EVENT FOR ANYBODY INTERESTED IN THIS THAT WANTS TO COME AND GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK. THAT'S A PRETTY -- A DETAILED KIND OF TIMELINE.
SO REALLY LOOKING AT DOING THE INFORMING AND THE EVENING EVENIG INDICATING TYPE TASKS. NOW THROUGH APRIL HOME BE PUBLIC MEETINGS IN LATE APRIL, EARLY MAY, GATHERING FEEDBACK THE WHOLE TIME AND COMING BACK TO YOU WITH A RECOMMENDATION.
IN LATE ME AND EARLY JUNE. >> Reporter: WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE. I THINK OPEN TO QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW AND I THINK THE ONLY THING I DIDN'T MENTION IS THAT WE DID BRIEF THIS AT THE FEBRUARY LRPC MEETING AND IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY
APPROVED AS IT IS. YOU ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS WITH YOUR PRESENTATION SO DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> THANK YOU FOR THE
PRESENTATION. [ NO AUDIO ] >> THE SCHOOL THAT SAYS THEY ARE IN IN LEGACY, THAT'S CORRECT, RIGHT? >> YES, SO FOUR TO LEGACY. TWO DIFFERENT ROUTES FOUR USING THE LEGACY POINT ROUTE AND 15 AT MOST ARE USING THE SAGE WOOD AND
PONDEROSA ROUTE. >> SO FOR THE CHOICE THREE, THAT'S PROBABLY ONLY GOING TO BE FEASIBLE QUESTION PEND ON THE GROUND THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS STUDENT THAT WANTS TO CHOICE INTO THOSE SCHOOLS AND GET TRANSPORTATION, LET ME GO BACK HERE.
SO, YEAH, I DON'T KNOW FEASIBILITY IN TERMS OF HOW MANY, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, ONLY FOUR ARE USING THAT ROUTE, RIGHT? >> THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY JUST THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BEING IN CHOICE THREE? >> IT WAS CHOICE THREE WOULD BE LEGACY TRANSPORTATION FOR ALL -- [SPEAKING AT THE SAME TIME] >> NO, FOR LEGACY POINT AS WELL
AS FOR SAGE WOOD AND PONDEROSA. I THINK I MISSED YOUR QUESTION. >> I WAS THINKING AFTER THE MEETINGS THAT ARE THE NUMBER THAT MIGHT WANT TO GO TO THOSE SCHOOLS MIGHT REDUCE THAT ARE NEEDING TRANSPORTATION SO CHOICE THREE MIGHT NOT BE AN OPTION TO THE TABLE IF WE DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH TO LIKE JUSTIFY TRANSPORTATION, RIGHT? TO THOSE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS. >> IF THERE IS NOT INTEREST IN IT. THAT'S THE PREFERRABLE OPTION, JUST BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULT ANY FINDING DRIVERS AND THE, YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME WE DO ONE OF THESE OVERFLOW ROUTES.
IT'S -- IT HAVESES THE WHOLE SYSTEM I GUESS IS THE WAY TO SAY IT. SO, YOU KNOW, NO LEGACY TRANSPORTATION. WOULD BE IN TERMS OF IT, YOU KNOW, RESOURCES IS THE PREFERRED ONE BUT I THINK IT'S FINDING OUT
WHAT THE NEED IS FROM THE STUDENTS AND THE FAMILIES. AS PART OF THE -- GOING TO BE PART OF THE PROCESS. >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE. >> THANK YOU. SO, YEAH, WE DEFINITELY NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEED AND PAIN POINTS ARE FOR THOSE SPECIFIC FAMILIES, BUT THE TEAM AND I
ALSO WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT CONTINUING TO SET THE PRECEDENT OF LEGACY TRANSPORTATION WHEN WE ARE ABOUT TO MAKE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE HIGHLANDS RANCH COMMUNITY WHERE LEGACY TRANSPORTATION MAY JUST NOT BE PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE.
GIVEN THE NUMBER OF ROUTES AND BUSES AND OUR COMPLETE LACK OF BUS DRIVERS. SO THAT WOULD BE IF THERE TRULY WERE FAMILIES THAT HAD A REALLY SIGNIFICANT SITUATION.
>> OKAY. >> I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW THIS, IS PART PHASE TWO I AM JUST CURIOUS, HOUR WE COMMUNICATING CURRENTLY WITH THOSE COMMUNITIES? THEY ALL KNOW THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. >> YEP, THANKS. >> YEAH. SO AS SHAVON WAS TALKING ABOUT,
THIS IS THE VERY FIRST STEP IS TO COME TO YOU ALL. LRPC AND THEN COME TO YOU ALL WITH YOUR -- YOU ARE NOT APPROACHING THIS CHANGE TONIGHT. ALL YOU WOULD BE SAYING TOP IS YES, GO AHEAD AND START TALKING TO THE COMMUNITY. SO THIS IS THE KICKOFF FOR WHERE THEY WOULD THEN GO TALK TO THE
COMMUNITY ABOUT THESE CHANGES, GATHER FEEDBACK AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU. BEFORE YOU MAKE AN ACTUAL DECISION. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THERE HAS BEEN OTHER TYPES OF COMMUNICATION THAT THIS WOULD BE LIKE COMING UP? THAT'S ALL. THIS WAS -- SO THIS WILL BE GRAND BRAND-NEW FOR PEOPLE HEARING THIS?
>> YEAH, THE SCHOOLS HAVE SPOKEN CERTAINLY THE SCHOOLS AND THE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAM HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT BUT WE DON'T WANT TO GET AD OF THE BOARD. YOU ARE FIRST AND THEN WE GO TALK TO THE COMMUNITY AND GATHER THE INPUT.
>> THANK YOU. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> THIS IS REALLY THE FIRST TIME IN A LOPS TIME WE HAVE LOOKED AT THIS KIND OF I WANT PACT. BOUNDARY CHANGE. >> YEAH, I WOULD SAY SINCE I
STARTED HERE IN 2014, WE HAVE NOT DONE A BOUNDARY CHANGE THAT DID NOT QUALIFY AS A SLIP. OTHER THAN PRAIRIE CROSSING BUT IT WAS NO THIS MAGNITUDE. >> IT WAS DONE ON AN INSURGENT BASBASIS AND WE ALL AGREE WE ARE
NEVER, EVER, EVER GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN. HAVE YOU CONSULTED WITH MR. BEACH AM AND OTHERS WHO DID THIS WORK IN OTHER DISTRICTS? >> SO MR. BINGHAM IS ON CONTRACT TO ASSIST WITH? PROCESS AS NEEDED BUT, YES, WE
WILL BE TAPPING HIS EXPERIENCE. >> AS I RECALL, HE'S PROPOSED IN THE PAST OUTREACH PROGRAM AND HOW TO PROCEED WITH THIS. >> YES. >> TO MY FELLOW DIRECTORS THIS IS A REHEARSAL FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING ACROSS THE DISTRICT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, TO BE VERY
HONEST WITH YOU. NO RATIONAL PERSONAL WOULD HAVE SEAM THED OUR YOU LOOK AT THE BOUNDARIES AND SAY HIGHLANDS RANCH THEY APPEAR TO BE DRAWN BY SOMEONE WHO OVER IMBIBED. >> THEY WERE DRAWN BECAUSE WE BUILT SCHOOLS.
BECAUSE WE WERE IN A HURRY. I AM IN FAVOR OF START THIS IS PROCESS TO SEE BOTH THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES THIS PROCESS THERE. I AM NEVER GOING MINIMIZE AFFECT 200 KIDS, BUT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS AND NBA A LOT OF OTHER PLACES AND SO I PRIOR THE
DISTRICT CAME TO US AND SAID LET'S TRY THIS PROCESS AND LEARN FROM IT. BECAUSE I KNOW WE ARE GOING TO E TO DO IN IN HIGH LANDS RANCH THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT AS WELL. AND SO I THINK THIS IS THE BEST
PROCESS THAT WE HAVE AND I THINK THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS AND WE WILL LEARN FROM IT. EVERY TIME WE DO THIS WE ARE SETTING THE PRECEDENT FOR NOT JUST THIS BOARD BUT OTHER BOARDS AS THEY COME FORWARD BECAUSE THIS IS THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN NOW. >> DIRECTOR WYNEGAR.
>> SORRY IF I MISSED YOU SAYING THIS. IS THERE A REASON WE THOUGHT THE EFFECTIVE YEAR OF 2020 SUSPECT WOULD BE GOOD. AND NOT DO IT SOONER. >> ENROLLMENT APPLICATION TIMELINE HAS PASS TODAY NEXT
SCHOOL YEAR. AND IT'S IT'S ASKING PRINCIPALS TO CHANGE CHAIR BUDGETING AND HIRING PLANS POTENTIALLY IF THERE IS A LOT OF MOVEMENT OF KIDS AND IT'S ASKING HOUSEHOLDS TO MAKE THAT DECISION PRETTY QUICKLY. I THINK INDUSTRY STANDARD IS YOU REALLY WANT TO GIVE PARENT SAYS
AT A MINIMUM EIGHT MONTHS TO CONSIDER THESE TYPES OF DECISIONS. SO THAT'S THE REASONING. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. I WAS LIKE I THINK MAYBE A SCENARIO FOUR WHERE WE HAVE A YEAR OF LEGACY TRANSPORTATION, BUT IT MAKES COMPLETE ACCEPTS WHAT YOU SAID.
I THINK THESE ARE GOOD SCENARIOS. >> AWESOME, THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. >> ALL RIGHT, MOVING INTO ITEM 19, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A RECESS AND WE WILL COME BACK AT
6:40. >> WE ARE BACK? SOX AND MOVING TO ITEM 20. EXECUTIVE LIMITATIONS EIGHT. STAFF COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS UPDATE.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU, I WILL INTRODUCE CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICER BRIAN D CON DONE TO GIVE OUR UP DAYS ON COME PEP SAYING AND WEAPON PITS AND HE HAS CFO JANA HERE W ALONG WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF HIS TEAM. WITH THAT, TAKE IT AWAY.

VERY FAMILIAR FACE AT BOARD MEETINGS, COLLE COLLEEN DOAN OUR BUDGET DIRECTOR. >> WITH THAT, JANA IF YOU WANT TO LEAD US INTO A BUDGET UPDATE.
>> THANK YOU. I'VE LOT OF STUFF UP HERE BUT WILL NOT GO THROUGH ALL. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE 25/26 BUDGET. AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE REVENUE SIDE. WE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS OR MAYBE AS MAIN QUESTIONS AS WE HAVE
ANSWERS AT THIS POINT BUT TRYING TO GIVE THAT BIG PICTURE OVER SCREW APPROXIMATES A NEW SCHOOL FINANCE ACT.
CALL IT 1448. WHIP THAT BILL, WE NEGOTIATED THINGS LIKE FOR YOUR AVERAGING, FIVE YEARS, IN THE CURRENT.
SCHOOL FINANCE ACT. WE TALKED ABOUT SIX YEAR IMPLEMENTATION BECAUSE IT WAS EXPENSIVE TO IMPLEMENT THAT. REMEMBER AND THE STATE WILL NOT HAVE THE MOP AND I GUESS WHAT, THEY KIND OF DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. AND WE PUT IN SOME THRILLING ARE LANGUAGE AROUND THAT SAYING,
HEY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, WE'LL PAUSE WHERE YOU ARE AT. THE GOVERNOR THOSE GIVE YOU HIS UPDATES. OF THE BUDGET HE DOESN'T MAKE
FINAL DECISIONS THE J.B. C DOES. BUT WITH THAT UPDATE, THE INFLUX NUMBER WAS LOAFED 2.3 FROM 2.7. LOWER OUR PER PUPIL REVENUE ESTIMATE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE STARTED TALKING ABOUT MONTH
AVERAGING. FIVE YEARS CURRENTLY WE NEGOTIATED FOUR YARDS AND HE'S SAYING I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DO AVERAGING AT ALL. SO THAT WAS A BIG SHOCK TO A LOT OF US. AND CHANGES THAT FUND PEOPLE FOUND SIGNIFICANTLY FOR US, THAT
60 617,192. 51246, A LOT OF CONVERSATION ARE HIM ODD WHAT ARE REGOING DO WITH THE AVERAGING NUMBER AND WHAT DECISIONS ARE THE J.B. C GOING TO MAKE.
WITH THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE GOVERNOR OPEN'S OFFERS THINGS STARTED TO MOVE OUT OF THE PICTURE. WE NEGOTIATED HOLD HARMLESS THAT'S VERY MUCH IN QUESTION IF THAT WILL HAPPEN. AVERAGING A FUND PEOPLE COUNT WE TALKED BENCH FIVE YEARS, FOUR YEARS, MAYBE NOTHING.
AND THE TRIGGER SAID NEVER MIND ABOUT THAT PAUSE IMPLEMENTATION ALL THE TOGETHER. WE SO WE EXPECT 1448 WILL BE HI PLENTY ED IN SOME FORM WITH SOME
PERSONAL. IT'S EASIEST TO SEE A ON TABLE FORMAT. FIRST COLUMN IS THE REVISED BUDGET. MIDDLE COLUMN 25, 26 BASED ON FOUR YEAR AVERAGING. >> Reporter: LAST COLUMN NO
AVERAGING AT ALL. THIS IS DISTRICT WIDE. INCLUDING NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS. AND IT DECREASES OUR FUNDSS PUPIL COUNT BY ABOUT 2,000 STUDENT.
SO THIS MAKES IT A RANGE FROM EITHER INCREASE $22 MILLION OR FUNDING REMAINS FLAT. HOWEVER, WE HAVE CHARTER SCHOOLS. 25% ARE IN CHARTER SCHOOLS, THIS
CHANGES THE PICTURE FOR WHAT DOES THE DISTRICT RETAPE FOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS AND OUR BUDGETING WITHOUT PASSING IT THROUGH. TO EITHER WE UP VEHICLES 13.7 MILLION OR LOSE 9 MILLION COMPARED TO CURRENT YEAR BUDGET.
NOW THESE ARE THE TWO EXTREMES. WE HAVE A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER LOST LEADERS AT THE CAPITOL AND MEANT MORE TIME THERE THERE A EVER THOUGHT I WOULD. AND FOLLOW-UP CONVERSATIONS TODAY.
THAT WE THINK THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE HAS BACKED OFF OF THAT ZERO AVERAGING. WHICH IS A HUGE WIN FOR US. IF THAT IS THE CASE. AND I THINK WE'LL END ENOUGH SOME COMPROMISE OF EITHER
IMPLEMENTING 1448 WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED AT 818% YEAR ONE THAT MIGHT GO DOWN TO LIKE STEP AND WE'LL NEGOTIATE BETWEEN FOUR YEARS AND THREE YEARS AVERAGING.
BUT STILL IT'S IT'S A HARD ARE D MORE LIMITED RESOURCES THAN WE HAVE BEFORE. >> Reporter: HOW DID WE TALK ABOUT INCREASES THAT OTHERS WILL TALK ABOUT.
WHAT THIS GRAPH IS GENERAL FUNDS ONLY AND YOU CAN SIGH THAT WE WERE AT THE STABLE STILL VERY HEALTHY FUNDS BALANCE IN 2019 AND 2020. AND THEN COVID HAPPENED.
WE GOT A LOT OF FEDERAL FUNDING. AND ENDS UP WITH A LOT OF VACANCIES. THAT FUNDS BALANCE DRAMATICALLY INCREASED OVER THE COVID AND POST-COVID YEARS AS WE RECOVERED
AND EMPLOYEE LEVELS BACK INTO BALANCE. THAT WAS NOT A PLANNED INCREASE OF FUND BALANCE AND HAD A NECESSARY INCREASE AT THE LEVELS WE WERE AT. SO WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS TO CONTINUE PRIORITIZING OUR STAFF. AND HAVE STRATEGIC USE OF THAT FUND BALANCE TO HAVE A SOFTER
LANDING AND DECREASE THAT VALUE TILL TEST STATE 11. I'LL COME BACK WITH QUESTIONS ONCE ONCE BRIAN IS DONE. >> JUST TO ADD A COMMEND ON THE FUND BALANCE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 23 -- 2023 AND THE
2024 FUND BALANCE NUMBERS YOU CAN SIGH THERE MORE OR LESS IS THE $20 MILLION THAT YOU ALL ALLOCATED FOR CAPITAL -- EMERGENCY CAPITAL NEEDS WHILE WE WERE WAITING TO PASS A BOND.
>> MOVES COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS TONIGHT. WE'LL BE RECOMMENDING THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IMPROVE THE SALARY INCREASES THROUGHOUT ALL LEVELS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. DISCUSSING THE DISTRICT'S UP TEND TO ABSORB 100% OF THE
INCREASED COST. AND NOT PASS THE INCREASES TO STAFF THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR AND BE DISCUSSING OUR UP TIPPED TO CONTINUE TO OFFER OTHER COMPENSATION RELATED PERKS AND DEN FITS THAT WE DO THIS SCHOOL YEAR. BEFORE GET BOOT ACTUAL 25/26
SCHOOL YEAR COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR THE BOARD TO SORT OF VISUALIZE SOME OF THE GREAT IMPROVEMENT AND ADVANCEMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE AS A DISTRICT AND THAT THE BOARD HAS APPROVED OVER THE PAST THREE SCHOOL YEARS. WHAT THIS TABLE RELATES.
BROKEN DOWN BY OUR THREE EMPLOYEE GROUPS. ARE BOARD APPROVED AVERAGE ANNUANSALARY INCREASES TO THIS . THE PAST THREE SCHOOL YEARS, THIS BOARD HAS APPROVED NEARLY 30% INCREASES IN SALARY TO OUR
LICENSED EMPLOYEES, NEARLY 25% INCREASES TO OUR CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES. NEARLY 20 PERCENT PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL STAFF. BECAUSE OF THOSE INCREASES. WE HAVE MADE A LOT OF GREAT GAINS IN OUR AVERAGE TEACHER AL HAVE I, SO THAT IN THIS GRAPH
YOU CAN SEE THE AVERAGE IS REPTRENDING UP CARDS. STARTING TEACHER SALARY THIS YEAR 51,400. IF I COMPARE THAT JUST RECENTLY TO THE 22/23 SCHOOL YEARS, OUR
STARTING TEACH SALARY IS LESS THAN $44,000. SO WE HAVE MID A LOT OF SIGNIFICANT PRACTICING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. THAT BEING SAID I AM SHOWING YOU SLIDE 10 AGAIN AND SLIDE 11. THE STARTING SALARY AND AVERAGE TEACHER SALARY THAT ALTHOUGH WE
HAVE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO AS A SYSTEM, TO CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR EMPLOYEE SALARIES COMPETITIVE WITH OUR DENVER METRO AREA PEERS. AND SO FOR THAT ROPE, EVEN WITH THE UNCERTAIN BUDGET SITUATION
WE ARE FACE THIS IS YEAR, IT IS OUR STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO MAKE THE FOLLOW COME PEP SAYING INCREASES 25/26 STOOL YEAR. WITH REGARD TO THE LICENSED STAFF, THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO PROVIDE STEPS TO ALL OF OUR
LICENSED STAFFS ACROSS SCHEDULE INCREASE THOSE SCHEDULES BY 1%. THIS WOULD LEAD TO AFTER AVERAGE LICENSED EMPLOYEE SALARY INCREASE OF 3%. AND A NEW TEACHER STARTLY SALARY OF $51,914.
ON TOP OF THAT RECOMMENDING STRUCTURAL CHANGES TO THE SALARY SCHEDULES. WITH REGARD TO LINES BA THROUGH MA. EXTENDING THOSE LANES ONE STEP ACROSS EACH ONE OF THOSE LANES. WITH REGARD TO NONLICENSE EMPLOYEES, RECOMMENDING 3%
SALARY UP CREASE FOR A CLASSIFIED STAFF. AND 2% SALARY INCREASE FOR AHEAD MINUTE STRAIGHT IRRELEVANT PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL STAFF. WE DISCUSSED LAST YEAR AS WELL, THAT WE PROVIDED ONE TIME STIPENDS FOR EMPLOYEES WHO WERE
OVER THEIR SELFS ON SCHEDULES AND OVER THEIR RANGES IN IS CLASS IDENTIFIED AND PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL AREAS. IT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION CONSISTENT WITH LAST YEAR'S BOARD MEETING AROUND THIS TIME THAT WE NOT DO THIS. THAT WE NOT PAY OVERSELL STIPE
ENDED AND OVER RANGE STIPENDS TO EMPLOYEES FALLING IN THOSE AREAS. MOVE ONTO BENEFITS, HIGHER AT DCSD WE ARE PROUD OF THE COMPETITIVE AND WELL ROUNDED BENEFITS PACKAGE THAT WE PROVIDE TO OUR STAFF. WE PROVIDE OUR STAFF A LOT OF CHOICE.
ON TOP OF THAT WE PROVIDE BENEFITS AT A VERY COMPETITIVE PRICE POINT THAT IS MUCH LOWER THAN OUR COMPETING SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAN DENVER METRO AREA HAS INDICATED HERE BY THE STAT THAT WE AS A SYSTEM PAY FOR 86% OF THE MEDICAL PREMIUM COMPARED TO THE 75% BENCHMARK IN THIS
AREA. AND SO THIS YEAR, ACROSS ALL OF OUR MEDICAL BENEFIT PLANS WE SAW A 4% INCREASE, WHICH AMOUNTS TO NEARLY $2.1 MILLION. AND IT'S OUR INTENT THIS YEAR TO FULLY ABSORB THAT $2.1 MILLION. AND NOT PA ALONG ANY PREMIUM TO
OUR STAFF. KEEPING THEIR BENEFIT LEVELS -- BENEFIT PREMIUM NUMBERS CONSISTENT WITH THIS YEAR. P ERA IS A BIG PART OF ANY COMPENSATION, IT'S'S
PARTICIPATED THAT EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE PERCENTAGES REMAIN THE SAME IN THE 25/SENT SIX STOOL YEAR, EMPLOYEES WILL CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE 11% TO PERA TO FUNDS THEIR RETIREMENTS AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE WENT 21.4% OF LITTLE
EMPLOYEE IS SALARY TO PERA TO FUND THEIR RETIREMENT. PLUG FOR STAFF MOVING FORWARD AS IT IS HIRING SEASON FOR ANY EMPLOYEE INTERESTING IN SEEING WHAT THE VALUE OF THEIR COP FEN PEN SAYING IS THE TOTAL VALUE OF
THE DISTRICT-PAID BENEFITS IN ADDITION TO THEIR PERA YOU CAN SEE IT GOING TO THE COME PEP SAYING AB AND SEE A FULL PICTURE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S TOTAL COMPENSATION. IT'S THE SCHOOL DISTRIBUTE'S
INTEND TO CONTINUE TO OFFER THE FOLLOWING COMPENSATION RELATED PERKS AND BENEFITS. WITH REGARD TO OUR HORIZONTAL LANE ADVANCEMENT SYSTEM WHERE LICENSED EMPLOYEES THROUGH THE ATTAINMENT OF EDUCATIONAL CREDITS CAN MOVE LANES ON SCHEDULES. WE INTEND TO CONTINUE TO OFFER
THAT PROGRAM AS IS WITH NO CHANGES IN THE 25/26 SCHOOL YEAR. IT'S ALSO OUR INTENT ONS FUND THE TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN THE 25/IF HE WANTS SIX SCHOOL YEAR AND PROVIDE HALF A MILLION DOLLARS TO STAFF. TO REIMBURSEMENT FOR EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES.
ALSO CONTINUE TO FUND OUR COMPENSATION SCHEDULES "A" AND "B" WHICH ALLOWS EMPLOYS TO GET COMPENSATION FOR WORK OUTSIDE OF THEIR REGULAR DUTIES. WE CONTINUE TO -- IT'S OUR INTEND TO CONTINUE TO OFFER FREE LUNCHES AND BASE DAY-CARE DISCOUNTS TO STAFF, CONSISTENT WITHS LEVELS WE DID THIS PAST SCHOOL YEAR.
WITH THAT, THE THAT'S THE PRESENTATIONS AND WE ARE HALF I TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE. >> THANK YOU, TH THAT WAS A GRET PRESENTATION. DIRECTOR MOORE. >> THIS MIGHT BE GOING OUTSIDE
THE LANE WHERE YOU WANT TO GO I AM GOING TO TRY TO GET TO A POINT HERE. BUT THEREOF AFTER AN ESTIMATED STATE BUDGET FORT FOUL.
BASED ON YOUR WORK IN THIS ARENA ABOUT HOW TO -- PUBLIC ELSE INDICATION IS AFFECTED BY THAT, HOW MUCH IS DOES DOES THE STATE HOPE TO REDUCE THAT 750 MILLION
BY CHANGES TO THE FORMULA IN PUBLIC EDUCATION THIS YEAR? >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. THE START OF THE TALKS WAS RELOSE PUBLIC EDUCATION BY AROUND 150 MILLION.
IF WE DON'T GET WORD RID OF -- GET RID OF AVERAGING AND NEGOTIATE SOME OF THESE THREE OR FOUR CLEAR AVERAGING THE YOUR HONOR ESTIMATE IS 15 MILLION OF THAT CUT THAT EDUCATION WOULD
TAKE. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> AND I JUST POINT IN OUT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING IT. WHILE WE HAVE INCREASED SALARIES BY ABOUT 29%, OVER THAT SAME
PERT INFLATION WAS 22%. SO THIS IS NOT A REAL TIME INCREASE OF ANY SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT FOR OUR TEACHERS. FAIR TO SAY THIS INCREASE IS SLY SLIGHTLY ABOVE OR PERHAPS ABOUT EQUAL TO ACTUAL INFLATION?
>> WE ARE DOING THIS SO OUR TEACHERS CAN BUY WHAT THEY BOUGHT LAST MONTH. SO THEY CAN BOG BUY IN AUGUST WHAT THEY BOUGHT LAST AUGUST, I WISH WE WERE IN A POSITION TO GETTER THAN THAT. BUT THIS SEEMS TO ME LIKE THE BARE MINIMUM.
DO YOU SEE -- WE ARE HOPE INFLATION IS GOING TO DECREASE, AIM ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT USING FUND BALANCE TO PAY ONGOING COMMITMENTS. BUT DO YOU SEE ANY OTHER PROCESS BY WHICH WE CAN KEEP OUR TEACHERS AT WHERE THEY NEED TO
BE? >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE. >> I CAN TAKE THAT ONE, YES, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT IT'S ALWAYS A LITTLE STRESSFUL TO USE FUND BALANCE FOR AN ONGOING EXPENSE, ABSOLUTELY. AND YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MASSIVE CHANGE ON ASSIGNED FUND BALANCE
FROM PRE-COVID TO POST-COVID. WE REALLY DO HAVE ROOM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WE CAN ALWAYS SO LET'S SAY THAT THIS CATASTROPHE AT THE STATE LEVEL CONTINUES WHICH WE DON'T
ANTICIPATE IT WILL. LET'S SAY IT CONTINUES IF IT DOES THEN WE HAVE THE OPTION OF RIGHT SIZING STAFF IN ORDER TO KEEP CONTINUING TO GIVE PEOPLE INCREASES. BUT I FEEL LIKE NOT GIVING PEOPLE INCREASES IS THE WORST OF ALL OPTIONS. AND I HAVE SAID THIS TO STAFF A LOT.
WHEN GIVEN CHOICES AND DIFFICULT BULLET YEARS, I WOULD MUCH RATHER RIGHT SIZE TAFF THAN FREEZE EVERYBODY'S PAY BUS THAT DEMORALIZES YOUR ENTIRE WORKFORCE. WHEREAS IF YOU FREEZE HIRING,
FOR EXAMPLE, THAT MAKES IT MORE POSSIBLE FOR US WE ARE IN A POSITION TO DO WHAT I AGREE ARE INCREDIBLY MODEST INCREASES GIVEN OUR FUNDS BALANCE AND GIVEN OUR HE EXTREMELY FISCAL CONSERVATIVE NATURE, WE MAY NOT
EVEN END UP EATING TOO MUCH INTO THAT FUNDS BALANCE. SO AS SOMEONE WHO IS VERY FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE I AM COMFORTABLE WITH THIS PROPOSAL EVEN GIVEN THE RISKS OF WHAT IS
HAPPENING AT THE STATE LEGISLATURE. IF WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO TREAT OUR EMPLOYEES WELL AND TAKE CARE OF OUR EMPLOYEES IT IS OUR CHILDREN THAT WILL PAY THE PRICE. >> DIRECTOR MYERS.
>> BACK ON NUMBER 12, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. ACTUALLY I CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS. JUST A QUESTION. THAT OVER THE RANGE STIPENDS, HOW MANY YEARS DID WE DO THAT? TWO OR THREE?
YEARS? HOW OFTEN -- THREE OR FOUR? OKAY. JUST OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, WHAT WAS THAT COST? WERE WE DO 2,000 OR DID. >> 1,000 STIPEND. >> 1,000 SIGNED END AND THAT WAS IF THEY STAYED AND CAME IN.
SO DO YOU KNOW THE BIG NUMBER? >> YEAH, SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST IS PAY A ONE-TIME STIPEND TO EMPLOYEES THAT ARE AT THE TOP OF THEIR CELL AND THAT ONE TIME STIPENDS IS OFTEN IN
THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE ONGOING RACE IF THEY WERE NOT AT THE TOP OF THEIR CELL. SO IT WOULD OFTEN VERY BY EMPLOYEE. BUT THAT BEING SAID, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID THIS TIME TO TRY TO MITIGATE THAT, IS A LOT OF THE PLACES WHERE WE WERE
PAYING THOSE ONE-TIME STIPENDS WERE ON THE BOTTOM OF OUR SALARY SCHEDULE. WHERE WE HAD FOLKS BUT THAT JUST COULDN'T GO PAST -- WE DIDN'T HAVE A STEP PAST SAY YEAR 14 I AM MAKING THIS UP WOE ACTUALLY
ADDED STEPS SO THAT ALL OF THE FOLKS ON THE BOTTOM HAVE A STEP TO GO. THEY WON'T BE IN THAT HITTING THE TOP OF THEIR CELL. THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE HITTING THE TOP OF THEIR CELL WILL BE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE KIND OF OFF TO THE FAR RIGHT.
AND AT THE BOTTOM OF SAY THE Ph.D LANE AND THOSE ARE THE FOLKS THAT ARE GENERALLY MAKING BETWEEN 85 TO ONE UP THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR, THEY ARE AT THE TOP. OTHER DISTRICTS DON'T DO STIPENDS WE DID IT BECAUSE WE TRANSITIONED FROM WHATEVER OUR PAY SYSTEM WAS BEFORE TO A STEP IN LANE KIND OF SPAY SYSTEM. IT WAS PART OF THAT TRANSITION TO A NEW PAY SYSTEM.
>> BRIAN, FEEL FREE TO ADD. >> I THINK THAT'S WHERE I WANTED TO ASK. I REALIZE THAT NOW NO OVER THE RANGE STIPENDS. WE HAD A RE RETAINING STIPE >> RECESSION FOR RETURNING
EMPLOYEES IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,000. >> THAT'S NOT CHECK. >> THAT'S A DIFFERENT STIPEND. WE ARE NOT WE ARE NOT DOING THAT EITHER? >> WE HAVE DONE IT THREE YEARS IN A ROW AND EVERY YEAR I TELL THE EMPLOYEES THIS IS THE LAST
YEAR BECAUSE WHAT THAT IS ABOUT IS IF WE GET TOWARDS THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. AND WE REALIZE THAT WE HAVE THROUGH VERY TIGHT SPENDING THROUGHOUT OUR DISTRICT, IF WE REALIZE WE HAVE SAVED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY
INSTEAD OF ADDING IT TO WHAT IS ALREADY A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT FUND BALANCE, WE BASICALLY USED THOSE RESOURCES TO PAY FOR A RETENTION STIPEND BUT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE YEAR. BUT PHILOSOPHICALLY WHAT WE NEED
IS WE NEED TO KEEP THE AMAZING PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE DOING ALL OF THIS AMAZING WORK FOR OUR KIDS AND THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN ADDING TO WHATEVER -- WHAT'S ALREADY A VERY SIGNIFICANT FUND BALANCE. AS VACANCY SAVINGS BEGINNING TO
AWAY BECAUSE WE ARE FILLING POSITIONS WE ARE NOT GOING TO SEE THAT LEVEL OF SAVINGS AT THE END OF EACH YEAR. SO WHEN WE MIND INDICATED THAT LAST YEAR I DID SAY THIS WILL BE THE LAST YEAR. SO THAT WAS NOT IN OUR PLANS
RIGHT NOW. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> DIRECTOR MYERS ACTUALLY ASKED ME QUESTION. I WAS GOING TO ASK ABOUT THE CONSTITUENT END SAYS. MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY OTHER STAFF ARE IMPACTED BY BEING AT
THE TOP OF THEIR CELL? >> SO AT THE VERY TOP OF OUR CELL WE HAD ABOUT 20% OF OUR STAFF, TO MY RECOLLECTION, THAT BEING SAID INCREASING STEPS IN LANES BA THROUGH MA, WE HAVE
REDUCED THAT NUMBER TO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, 50%. TOP LANESES TO MAKE THE CELLS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION, THIS IS GREAT. JANA I THINK I HAVE READ YOUR NAME IN THE PAPER LATELY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVOCACY AT THE CAPITOL. I THINK IT'S ABOUT A $1.2 BILLION SHORTFALL THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SOLVE FOR. AND I READ SOMETHING ABOUT THE SPEAKER'S PROPOSAL, BUT I WASN'T
REALLY SURE I WAS UP TO SPEED ON THAT. AND I'M NOT SURE YOU HEARD YOU SPEAK TO THAT. CAN YOU GIVE SOME BULLET POINTS. >> THIS WAS THE MEETING THAT WE HAD JUST LAST FRIDAY WITH THE SPEAKER, SHE UP CITE SRAO*EUT -- INVITEDA LOT OF US IN TO CHD
WHAT CAME OUT IN THE PRESS IS THAT WE HAD A DEAL. THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT ROOM. WE HAD -- WE HAD SOME PHILOSOPHICAL CONVERSATIONS. AND IT'S WHERE WE REALLY EXPRESSED OUR CONCERNS ABOUT HAVING NO AVERAGING THE GOVERNOR
WAS IN THE OFFICE AND HEARD THAT LOUD AND CLEAR FROM THAT GROUP. I FEEL LIKE THE GOVERNOR HAS BEEN PUT IN A REALLY HARD SPOT WITH SHE JUST NEGOTIATEDDED WITH US LAST YEAR AND NOT JUST PROMISES WERE MADE, BUT THINGS WERE PUT IN TO SHR LEGISLATION D NOW THEY ARE FACING, YOU KNOWING
OVER A BILLION DOLLARS BUDGET CUTS THAT HAVE TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE. SO WE HAVE SOME TODAY FIND SOMEWHERE TO NEGOTIATE ON THIS THAT WILL NOT BE DEVASTATING TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS, BUT SHE'S BEEN VERY OPEN TO HAVING THAT
CONVERSATION WITH US. >> THANK YOU. ON THAT. SLIDE SEVEN, THE GENERAL FUND BALANCE SLIDE. DIRECTOR GEIGER WAS GETTING AT THIS EARLIER. I WASN'T SURE IF I THOUGHT WHAT
WE WERE PLANNING TO SPEND IT DOWN TO OCTOBER WHERE WE THINK WE'LL BE OVER THE NEXT ONE, TWO, THREE YEARS. >> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND A CONVERSATION THAT I WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE FISCAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. INTO NEXT YEAR, A LOT OF
GUIDANCE OUT THERE ABOUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR THIS IS JUST BE ASSIGNED FUND BALANCE IN THE GENERAL FUND AND THE GUIDANCE IS ABOUT TOTAL FUND BALANCE THINK SO THIS INCLUDES TABER, THE BOARD RESERVE, ALL OF OUR ASSIGNMENTS.
AND THE UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE. SO THE GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL OFFICER ASSOCIATION SAYS YOU SHOULD HAVE ABOUT TWO MONTHS OF REVENUE IN YOUR FUND BALANCE. IF WE LOOK AT TOTAL FUNNELED BALANCE WE ARE ABOUT 50 MILLION OVER THAT.
THERE IS -- WE ALSO WANTS TO LOOK TO MOODIES AND FINCH WHO GIVE US RATINGS FOR WHEN WE SELL BONDS AND THOSE TALK ABOUT IF BEING YOU KNOW, 15 TO 17% TOTED FUND BALANCE.
THEY WILLOCK AT MOST OF THE FUNDS NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT MOST OF THEM. SO ALL THESE ANALYSIS ARE JUST SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND HAVE THEIR INTRICACIES WITH IT. I DO FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT WE HAVE SEVERAL YEARS THAT WE CAN WEATHER THIS AND KIND OF SOFTEN
THAT VOLATILITY. >> SO I GUESS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, WHEN WE -- IF WE PASS THE RESOLUTION ON COMPENSATION, WHAT DOES THAT DO TO THE FUNDS BALANCE PASSING TONIGHT'S
RESOLUTION? >> I AM GOING GIVE IT TO COLLEEN. >> SO THOSE YEARS REPRESENTED ARE FISCAL YEAR END SO THAT'S LAST YEAR AT THAT FAR RIGHT COLUMN. WE'LL PROBABLY ANTICIPATED TO USE THREE TO 4 MILLION THIS
YEAR. BASED UPON THE LATEST FORECAST. SO THAT WILL JUST VERY, VERY SLIGHTLY DROP THAT BAR ON THE FAR RIGHT. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT BETWEEN 15 AND 18 MILLION OF JUST THE
COMPENSATION PIECES. ON, YOU KNOW, THE SALARY AND BENEFITS TODAY. BUT STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO BEFORE WE CAN BRING FORWARD A FULL PROPOSED BUMMING NET MAYAS WE HAVE ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENT BUDGETS STILL TO REVIEW.
>> THANK YOU. I WANTED TO HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. JUST LOOKING AT THE ECONOMY I M FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE AS WELL BUT WANT TO PUSH AS MANY DOLLARS AS WE CAN INTO THE SIM SYSTEM
AND TRY TO BALANCE THE DOST GOING UP AND THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT AND HOW THAT KIND OF PLAYS INTO OUR THINKING. SO THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW AS I AM LOOKING AT THIS THINKING ABOUT THE FUND BALANCE.
>> DIRECTOR WINEGAR. >> DO YOU MIND GOING TO SLIDE 14, IT'S ABOUT HOW WE DECIDED NOT TO INCREASE PREMIUMS FOR EDGE PRIMES AND INSTEAD NOT OBSERVING THE $2 MILLION COST. DO YOU MIND SHARING CONVERSATIONS THAT YOU HAD ON WHY YOU DECIDED TO GO THAT ROUTE
RATHER THAN INCREASE PREMIUMS TWO EMPLOYEES. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A -- SHARE THAT WITH ME AS WELL. AND THE PUBLIC. >> CERTAINLY. WE HAD THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSIONS AND THE TRADE OFF WOULD BE IF
YOU PASS ON SOME OF THE BENEFIT PREMIUMS, INCREASES TO STAFF, POTENTIALLY THERE IS MORE MONEY TO FLIP INTO SALARIES AND OTHER COMPENSATION. YOU KNOW, THAT BEING SAID, WHEN WE SPEAK TO OUR EMPLOYEES, THEY SINCERELY AND HIGHLY VALUE THE
LOW COST OF OUR BENEFITS. IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE NOPE FOR HERE. IT'S SOMETHING THAT STAFF REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE. AND GIVEN THIS YEAR, GENERALLY SPEAKING I THINK COMPARATIVE AND MAYBE EVEN PACK CAN TALK TO THIS, GENERALLY SPEAKING 4% NET
INCREASE, ACROSS OUR MEDICAL PLANS WAS RELATIVELY LOW. AND SO WE JUST FEEL LIKE IN KEEPING WITH WHAT I THINK OUR EMPLOYEES WANT. AND GIVEN THAT I THINK IT'S A SELLING POINT FOR RECRUITING AND
RECESSION, LIKE THE VERY LOW COST OF BENEFITS HERE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANTED THE COMMUNITY TO DO. THAT WAS REALLY THE BASIS FOR DOING IT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND DO YOU KNOW SUPERINTENDENT CAIN THE LAST TIME WE INCREASED PREMIUMS? I FEEL LIKE I AGREE.
I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT MAKES OUR FIRM COMP PACKAGE VERY APPEALING FOR EMPLOYEES AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT MY UNDERSTANDING OF THAT WAS CORRECT ON WHY WE DECIDED TO KEEP THAT GOING. >> YEAH. WHEN I REVIEW, YOU KNOW, PRESENTATIONS, I FEEL LIKE WE HAVEN'T -- MAYBE SEVEN OUT OF
THE PAST EIGHT YEARS OR SIX OUT OF THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. WE HAVE NOT INCREASED PREMIUMS. MATT, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW IS THAT RIGHT? >> SIX OUT OF SEVEN. THERE YOU GO. >> THAT'S AMAZING, YEAH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> DIRECTOR MEEK DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE?
>> NO. >> OKAY, GREAT. DIRECTOR MOORE. >> THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE HARD WORK AND YOU ARE RIGHT IN LINE WITH MY LODGE OAK TRYING TO RETAPE GOOD EMPLOYEES AND WHAT AT THAT TICKS TO DO THAT AND BE COMPETITIVE. AND THERE IS JUST -- IT IS WHAT IT IS.
I JUST TAKE TO M MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE RESOLUTION REGARDING EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND PAY INCREASES FOR THE 2025/WEN20 SWEPT SIX SCHOOL YEAS PRESENTED. >> SECOND.
>> MOTION BY MOORE, SECOND BY GEIGER THINK GEIGER. >> AYE. >> MEEK. >> AYE. >> MOORE. >> AYE. >> MYERS. >> AYE. >> THOMPSON. >> AYE, WILLIAM, AYE. WINEGAR. >> AYE. >> GREAT PASSES 7-0. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. MOVING ONTO ITEM 21, THE
STRATEGIC PLAN -- SORRY, GO AHEAD. >> SORRY, I JUST ALSO WANTED TO PUT OUT THERE, WE INCLUDED THAT EXECUTIVE LIMITATION EIGHT BECAUSE IT IS RELATED TO COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. I WANTED TO GIVE YOU SPACE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THAT. ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU
DON'T BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO CALL THAT OUT. >> WE ARE GOOD. DID WILL BE ON YOUR CONTENT AGENDA NEXT MEETING. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.
STRATEGIC UPDATE FOR A 10-MINUTE PRESENTATION AND A 15-MINUTE Q Q&A.
>> GOOD EVENING, DIRECTORS. IT'S MY PLEASURE REINTRODUCE OUR PARTNER AT SPECIAL PRACTICES NETWORK WHO HAS BEEN BLOW, IN THE THICK OF A LOT OF CONVERSATION OVER THE LAST MONTH AND CHANGE.
TOP RAY IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE, WHERE WE ARE GOING AND ALSO JUST GET YOU SOME TIDBIT OF DATA. THAT WE PULLED JUST FOR HIS -- HIS TEAM PULLED JUST FOR THIS PRESENTATION. AND IT'S BEEN AWESOME WORKING WITH RAY.
THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN HAS BEEN JUST AWESOME. AND I WANT TO THANK TO THE EXTEND ANYBODY IS WATCHING, THANK YOU FOR COMPLETING THE SURVEY. WE HAVE HAD AT OR AROUND 3,000, PERHAPS OVER. SURVEY COMPLETION ON TOP OF A
LOT OF CONVERSATION WITH KIDS. WITH FAMILIES, WITH COMMUNITY, WITH STAFF, WITH LEADERS WITH YOU ALL WE'LL CONTINUE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AS WE GO ALONG HERE, SO WITH THAT, MR. McNULTY. >> THANK YOU. AND IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE.
AND I HAVE 10 MINUTES TO RUN THROUGH THIS LITTLE SLIDE DECK, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THE PURPOSE OF THAT PRESENTATION IS TO UPDATE THE BOARD ON WHAT IS GOING ON A PROCESS, THE TRENDS, NEXT ST STEPS AND ALL COVER THOE
AND JUST BEFORE I END THE DATA THAT I HAVE IS FROM -- WE STOPPED ON FEBRUARY 21st TO GATHERING THE INFORMATION FOR YOU TODAY AND WE'LL BE GIVING YOU A POPES COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
SOMETIME IN PRIM OR SUPPORTLY AFTER THAT. WHEN WE CRUNCHED ALL THE DATA. SO FAR JUST SO THAT YOU KNOW, I SPENT -- I HAVE DONE 28 SESSIONS WITH STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. 29 TOMORROW NIGHT.
I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE TAKE SHOULDER GROUPS. WITH HE HAVE HAD FAMILY, BUSINESSES, STUDENTSES, BOARD COMMITTEES. SUPERINTENDENT COMMITTEES. AMAZING.
STUDENTS GREAT. MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT ON THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT. WE HAD A COUPLE OF COMMITTEE MEETINGS WHERE STUDENTS JUST DUG RIGHT IN AND THEY ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR FUTURE. AND IT'S BEEN EXCITING.
SO AS STEVE SAID, WHEN WE STARTED ON FEBRUARY 28TH. THERE WERE ABOUT 2500, 2800 I THINK WAS THE ACTUAL NUMBER. OF SURVEYS. IT'S PROBABLY UP OVER 3,000 NOW, CLOSING THE SURVEYS TOMORROW NIGHT. AFTER WE FINISH ON THAT.
IF YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN THE SURVEY, PLEASE DO. AND LET ME GET INTO A LITTLE OF THE DATA. SO THIS IS REALLY PRELIMINARY DATA. I WANTED TO SAY WE ARE LOOKING FOR TRENDS AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WE'VE GOT
ALL OF THESE F FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS GOING ON AND WE HAVE THE SURVEY, WHAT WENT TO DO IS LOOK AT THE FACE-TO-FACE DAYS A AND THE SURVEY DATE AND SEE WHAT CONNECTS AND IN THIS ONE WE ASK WHAT SKILLS DO YOU THINK ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS TO SUCCEED.
IN THE FUTURE AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR STUDENTS WANTS DEEPER CRITICAL THINKING. THEY WANT EXPAND THE HUMAN BRAIN. THEY WANT TO DO THOSE KIND OF THINGS. WE ARE SEEING THAT IN THE REPORTS, LOOKING AT USING
TECHNOLOGY AND THE BRAIN. DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THERE. YOU'LL SEE CREATIVITY IN ALL OF THAT. SEEMING TO BE THE DRIVING FACTOR. WHEN WE LOOK AT LEARNING
EXPERIENCES, THIS REALLY OPENED A LOT OF OUR EYES. QUITE A FOCUS ON RILE WORLD LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. WHEN YOU MEET WITH THE STUDENTS THEY TALK ALL ABOUT WHAT AND WENT TO GET OUT AND DO THE WORK IN THE COMMUNITIES. SO WE ARE SEEING MORE OF THAT
KIND OF AN INSPIRING ACTIVITY. SO REAL WORLD LEARNING EXPERIENCE, CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION, THEY SEEM TOLL ALL WANT TO GET END GAME ED IN THAT. WHEN WE MET WITH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, THEY WERE ALL ABOUT
IT. HAVING OUR KIDS NOT JUST LEARN WORKFORCE SKILLS BUT LEARN SKILLS LIKE MIND INDICATING WITH PEOPLE IN A ROOM. GETTING ENGAGED WORKING COLLABORATIVELY. YOU'LL SEE A SKILLS CHART IN A MOMENT THAT I THINK WILL GIVE I
GOOD INSIGHT INTO HOW THE GROUPS HAVE BEEN THINKING. IT WASN'T UNUSUAL TO SAY STRONG FOCUS FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS.
THIS DISTRICT REALLY PUTS A LOT OF EMPHASIS AND FOUNDATION THE SKILLS. I THINK IT'S EXCELLENT. WE SEE THAT AS THE NUMBER ONE. THEY SEEM TO WANDER OVER THIS GROUP. IT'S ONLY LIKE 300 RIGHT NOW.
SUPPORT SERVICES AND THE FOCUS MINDSET. SOME OF THAT DATA WHEN WE LOOK AT IT. IS COMING FROM STUDENTS FROM PRINCIPALS THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EMOTIONAL STRESS. AND THE STRESSES IS A LOT THE AFTER OUR SKITS AS WELL AS TEACHERS IN THE WORLD TODAY.
THESE -- THIS NEXT SERIES IS SLIDES. THIS IS INTERESTING. THESE WERE PARTICULAR QUESTIONS THAT THE DISTRICT WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE INCLUDED. AND WE SEE FOR THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. WE SEE A PRETTY INTERESTING CONNECTION UP THERE.
LET IS HE 74%. OF THE DISTRICT. THAT WAS SOMETHING ON THERE. AND THEN THE NUMBER 10, THE 10th QUESTION, THAT QUESTION WAS REALLY ABOUT PRACTICE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL
COLLABORATION TIME IN THE ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND WE SEE, GEM, AT THE HIGH END 59, ALMOST 60% OF THE PEOPLE SAYING, YEAH, WE DO WANT TO SIGH IT WHICH IS INTERESTING EARLY TREND.
I ENJOYED THESE NEXT TO SLIDES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS AND PEOPLE WHETHER THEY HAD CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL OR NOT. BUT THE QUESTIONS BELOW, LIKE THAT 15 AND 15B, ARE YOU AWARE YOUR STUDENT IS USING ACTUAL I O
HELP COMPLETE THEIR CLASS WORK 36% OF THE PARENTS SAID YES, 66 SAID, NO, THEY WERE NOT CLEAR ON THAT. BUT WHEN YOU TAKE THAT AND TRANSFORM IT OVER.
IT FLIPS, THEY SAID WE WANT THEM TO DO THAT. SO IT'S JUST KIND OF INTERESTING. THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THEY ARE USING IT BUT WANT THEM TO USE IT, THAT'S SEEMINGLY WHAT WE SEE IN THAT. TEACHERS AND DISTRICT.
SIX TYPE B TALKS ABOUT ARE YOU CURRENTLY USING A.I. CLASSROOM IN THIS EXPERIENCE. IN THE DISTRICT. THERE IS A LOT OF ENGAGE IN THE THAT AREA. 54% OF THE TEACHER END GAMED AND SAYING WE ARE USING IT FOR LESSON PLANS AND USING IN THAT
WAY. WE LOOK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE DO YOU SEE A.I. AS A VALUABLE MART OF STUDENT' EDUCATION THAT NUMBER WAS -- THAT IMMEDIATELY JIMMED UP TO 65%. THERE IS DEFINITELY A TRENDS OF BALANCING BOTH HUMAN AND DIGITAL
THINKING TOGETHER. WE DO THE TO OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS AND SEVERAL IN THE SURVEY. AND, BEGIN, THEY WENT RIGHT BACK
INTO EMPHASIZE CRITICAL THINKING, PROBLEM SOLVING, FINANCIAL SLIT LITERACY CAME UP ACROSS THE BOARD. AND EVERY GROUP I SAT WITH, WHETHER IT WAS A BUSINESS GROUP, THE GOVERNMENT GROUP, THE PARENT GROUP, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT GROUP, THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT GROUP. COMMITTEES, FINANCIAL LITERACY
WAS LIKE IMMEDIATE. AND IT WAS FUN LISTEN TO GO SIXTH -- NO, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GREAT STUDENTS TALK ABOUT YOU GOTTA TEACH US HOW TO DO OUR TAXES. AND HOW TO MAKE MONEY. IT WAS INTERESTING.
I DIDN'T KNOW THEY PAID TAXES I STARTED ASKING THEM ARE YOU PAYING TAXES? DO YOU WANT TO PAY TAXES? BUT BALANCING THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND TRADITIONAL LEARNING METHODS IS CRITICAL. WE SEE A LOT OF THAT AND SAW THAT CONVERSATION WITH TEACHERS AS WELL.
PRIORITIZING SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING, IMPROVING TEACHER TRAINING AND PROVIDING MORE INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION AND VOCATION TRAINING. THOSE TRENDS POPPED UP QUITE A BIT. BUT WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE BOARD
MEMBERS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN SOME OF -- WHILE YOU WERE PRESENT IN SOME OF THE MEETINGS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID WITH ALL OF THE FACE-TO-FACE GROUPS IS WE GAVE THEM FOUR PLOWSABL[APPLAUPLAUSIBLEFUTURESD
ON THE CHART. IF YOU WOULD LIKE FULL PARAGRAPHS OF THOSE, JUST LET SOMEBODY KNOW AND WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF COPIES OF THAT THAT WE CAN GIVE TO YOU. HERE IS THE THING, THOSE PLAUSIBLE FUTURES WERE DEVELOPED AFTER THE WORK WITH THE CABINET ON -- WE HAD THEM PREDICTING
SOME THINGS FOR THE FUTURE AND THEN BUILT FOUR PLAUSIBLE FUTURES. VERY HIGH GRADES, MEANING PEOPLE BELIEVE THESE THREE PLAUSIBLE FUTURES MAY NOT LIKE THEM, BUT
THEY ARE LIKELY TO HAPPEN. THAT'S THE WAY THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS. AND BASED ON THAT, WE ASKED THE WHAT OTHER IDEAS ARE OUT THERE IN THE Q.
AND THESE ARE THE OTHER TWO CRITICAL ISSUES THAT POPPED OUT WHEN WE DID THIS SURVEY ON THE 21st. THE POPULATION IN THE REGION WILL BECOME MORE DIVERSE, 92% OF RESPONDENTS SO FAR SEE THAT AS REALLY IMPORTANT AND WE WERE BE
PLANNING FOR THAT. THIS GOES ALONG WITH THE CONVERSATION THAT YOU JUST FINISHED FINDING AND KEEPING GOOD EDUCATORS WILL WILL BE UP CREASINGLY DIFFICULT. THE NUMBER OF HI INDICATORS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE GOING INTO EDUCATION IS DROPPING LIKE A ROCKET. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A REAL
CHALLENGE IN THE FUTURE. AND WE ARE SEEING IT IN THE DATA. PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. EDUCATORS THAT I HAVE MET AND THE PEOPLE THAT END GAME WITH YOU A LOT OF REALLY FINE EDUCATORS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL HAVE TO BE PAY AGO
STEPS TO, YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS LIKE EVERY DISTRICT IN THE COUNTRY. SO THEY ARE ALL CHASING WHAT'S OUT THERE. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECES OF THE SURVEY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, IS IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE -- BELIEVE
THAT THESE ARE PLAUSIBLE FUTURES. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'LL SEE. THIS IDEA OF BY BILINGUALISM IS ABOUT USING YOUR BRAIN AND TECHNOLOGY, IT'S BEING BILINGUAL IN THE WORLD TODAY.
THESE ARE A BUNCH OF SKILLS IN FOUR DOMAINS THAT CAME OUT WORK WHEN WE PUT THE CABINET TOGETHER AND THEY LOOKED AT THE FUTURE AND THEY STARTED TALKING ABOUT SKILLS OF THE FUTURE. THESE ARE THE FIND OF THINGS THAT WE CLUSTER INNED FOUR DOMAINS.
WHEN WE HAVE FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS WE ASK ALL THE PEOPLE, BUSINESS PEOPLE, PAYMENTSES, YOU NAME IT, TO SCORE EVERY SKILL YOU SEE ON THIS MAP IN FRONT OF YOU. EACH AREA LIKE THE AREA IN SKILLED LEARNERS, SKILLED
PROBLEM SOLVERS, RE1*EU79 SILL YET AND HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS. WE ASK YOU TO PICK WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL IN EACH DOMAIN, SO FAR, THOSE WERE THE
FOUR THAT POPPED OUT. KILL ARE SKILLED LEARNERS USE FACT AND EVIDENCE TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. SKILLED COLLABORATORS. BUILDS TRUST WITH OTHERS THROUGH HONEST ACTIONS. SKILLED PROBLEM SOLVERS, BOUNCES BACK FROM MISTAKES AND LEARNS
FROM THEM. THE LAST ONE, RESILIENT AND HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS HANDLES STRESS AND FEELINGS IN HEALTHY WAYS. AS I LOOK AT THOSE THIS IS JUST ME THINKING OUT LOUD WITH YOU.
THOSE ELEMENTS AND WE'LL SEE HOW PHYSICAL IT STAYS TRUE. TO THE END OF THE DATA. THOSE ELEMENTS REALLY SAY THESER THE FOUR LIKE EVERY STUDENT IN DOUGLAS COUNTY SHOULD BE GRADUATING WITH THOSE FOUR SKILLS IN THEIR POCKET. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FOUR SKILLS
THEY ARE POWERFUL. AND JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THAT THAT'S HOW WE ARE STARTING TO LOOK AT SOME OF THIS DAYS KATE A. HAVEN'T HAD LONG CONVERSATIONS WITH IT YET. THESE WHAT WE KNOW. SO THE REMAINING STEPS, WE ARE FINALIZING THE DATA.
WE ARE -- THE DATA ON THE SURVEY IS EASY TO GET DONE. HANDWRITTEN, FACE-TO-FACE DATA. IS COMING ALONG PRETTY WILL. WE'LL HAVE THAT DONE IN A FEW WEEKS. WE ARE GOING TO PUT THE DATA, CONSIDERATIONS TO THE
SUPERINTENDENT AND THE CABINET. WE'LL GIVE THEM A LOOK AT THE DATA. FOLLOW IT UP WITH WORK SESSIONS. WITH SUPERINTENDENT, THE CABINET, THE BOARD, WE'LL PRIORITIZE STRATEGIC COMMITMENTS WITH YOU. WE'LL LOOK FOR KEY ELEMENTS IN ALL OF THE DATA THAT WE ARE COLLECTING.
AND WE'LL PUT TOGETHER THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AND THEN WE'LL START TO STRUCTURE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND GOALS. ONE OF THE GOALS IS GETTING YOU DOWN TO MAYBE FOUR OR FIVE INITIATIVES.
NO MORE, LESS IS BETTER. BUT OUR GOAL IS TO TRY TO REALLY ZERO IN ON WHAT ARE THE KEY ONES. AND THEN PRESENT THE STRATEGIC PLAN BACK TO THE BOARD. WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN SOMETIME IN APRIL. THAT'S THE WAY WE ARE THINKING I. I THINK THAT'S 10 MINUTES, CLOSE
TO 10 MINUTES. SO, QUESTIONS, THOUGHTS. >> SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU ARE PUTTING INTO THIS, I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY, SO I APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, FIRST OF ALL WE HAVE 25 SHUSH SAY RESULTS S THAT TYPICAL? AND IS IT STATISTICALLY -- >> IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE OVER 3,000. >> OKAY. WHEN YOU ARE OUT THERE ASKING IN
THIS BUSY WORLD FOR THAT THAT'S A GOOD NUMBER FOR US. >> YOU ARE CONFIDENT YOU CAN DRAW STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT CONCLUSIONS FROM THAT. >> FROM TALKING TO THE PEOPLE THE PSYCHO METRICIANS IN OUR OFFICE THEM THINK IT'S PRETTY
GOOD. >> ALL I CAN SAY IS I THINK SO. RIGHT NOW. THIS INFORMATION WAS ON THE 21st WHEN WE PULLED THE DATA. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD SO MANY OTHER MEETINGS WITH -- AND I THINK THAT THEY ARE.
BUT WE HAVE NOT GONE INTO ALL OF THE DATA YET. AND WE PULL THIRD DEGREE TOGETHER BECAUSE IT WAS A SPECIAL REQUEST. TO MAKE SURE LET'S JUST TAKE A QUICK LOOK. SEEN WHAT -- IT'S KIND OF LIKE OPENING ONE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS OR WHATEVER. IT'S LIKE, LET'S SEE WHAT WE ARE GETTING FOR CHRISTMAS. WE ARE LOOKING AT IT, WE ARE
BASICALLY I THINK FROM MY BARN DOING THIS WITH ME, STEVE BROWN, HE WAS THE ON-SITE FUTURIST. HE AND I SPENT ONE OF THE DAYS -- I THINK IT WAS A SNOW DAY, WE SPENT THE SNOW DAY GOING
THROUGH ARE ALL KIND OFS OF THE HANDWRITTEN ONES AND THERE IS CON GREW ENDS, IT'S NOT A BIG SWING. WE ARE SEEING THE WHOLE FOCUS ON CREATIVITY. WHOLE FOCUS ON CREATIVITY YOU CAN CLAN RAISE, PRACTICAL WORK,
PRACTICAL LEARNING. WE HAD GREAT PARENT GROUPS. IT WAS ONLINE, THEY WOULD HAVE STAYED ONLINE FOR TWO HOURS. THEY JUST KEPT GOING AND GOING AND GOING.
WE ARE GETTING GOOD STUFF. >> YOU HIRE PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> WE DO. >> ARE WE UNUSUAL. ARE THE ISSUES YOU ARE SEEING CONSISTENT? >> YEAH, EVERYBODY IS -- YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S CONSISTENT WITH
WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN WHAT I WOULD SAY A HIGH-PERFORMING DRIPPINGS. DISTRICTS THAT ARE NOT STRUGGLING. DISTRICTS THAT CAN'T NEED A STATE STANDARD. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE STATE STANDARDS BEFORE YOU CAN
BE UP SO STRAIGHT AND I HAVE CREATIVE. YOU HAVE TO TO HAVE A BASELINE AND WHAT I AM SEEING, WHICH IS REALLY INTERESTING, IS A RICHER CONVERSATION BASE THEY ARE NOT NEVER NOT CHASING THE STATE STANDARD.
WE KNOW THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN DO. ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT COMES UP SOMETIMES IS WITH WE LOOK AT HOW CAN HE OUI STRUCTURE LEARNING, AND PARTICULARLY TAKE YOUR HIGH STOOL STUDENTS THEY HAVE TO HAVE FOUR MATH, FOUR SIGN, THREE OF THIS, THREE OF THAT.
IS THAT REALLY THE FEW? , YOU KNOW, AND WE HEAR THAT CONVERSATION GOING ON. YOU DEVELOPMENTS HEAR THAT IN SCHOOLS WHERE THEY ARE STRUGGLING JUST TO SAY TO MAKE THE BREAK. >> SWEAR THIS IRRELEVANT ON MASS LOW'S HIERARCHY. >> PROBABLY A BIT. YEAH, THAT LADDER KEEPS GETTING
HIGHER. >> THANK YOU. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKES ME HAPPEN IS A THAT THIS BOARD AND THE DISTRICT IS ALREADY DOING A LOT OF THE WORK THAT IS BEING CALLED OUT. SO A.I., LIKE WE HAVE -- WE ARE DOING THAT FINANCIAL LITERACY. IS A CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL TIMES.
WE ARE DOING A LOT OF WORK WITHIN DYSLEXIA WHIP THE SUPPORT SERVICES AND OUR CTE. AND I AM REALLY -- THAT MAKES ME PROUD. >> IT'S GREAT TO PUSH THESE OUT THERE. THESE THEORIES OF WHAT THE
FUTURE WILL LOOK LIKE. AND WHEN WE DO THAT, IT'S INTERESTING. BUT THE FACT IS THAT THIS DISTRICT AND THE OTHER DISTRICTS LIKE THIS DISTRICT OF WHICH I WOULD SAY THERE IS NOT AS MAIN
AS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE. IN THOSE DISTRICTS TALK THEY TALK ABOUT WHERE THEY WANT TO GO. SOME ARE THE DISTRICTS ARE SAYING HOW DO WE IMPROVE ON WHAT WE ARE DOING. YOU HAVE TO DO BOTH IN THIS WORLD AND BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF CHANGE IS SO QUICKLY, YOU HAVE TO MACH A FUTURE A LITTLE BIT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE
PAST. WE WANT TO BRING THE RIGHT THINGS WITH US INTO THE FUTURE AND I THINK THAT THE DISTRICT HAS MADE GOOD DECISIONS. >> DIRECTOR MYERS.
>> THANK YOU. MONDAY NIGHT I KNOW THAT YOU PRESENTED TO THE SAG STUDENTS. >> YEP. >> IT WASN'T THAT MAIN, WAS IT? >> IT WAS -- >> ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS -- AND I WONDERED IF YOU -- EVERYWHERE YOU HAVE THIS QR CODE AVAILABLE.
SO THEN THE KIDS OR WHOEVER CAN IMMEDIATELY TAP INTO IF AND FILL OUT THE SURVEY. SO I HAD TO -- AND I FEEL LIKE IN DIRECTOR MEEK AND I, SAG IS A -- QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHED GROUP OF KIDS. >> THEY SURE ARE.
>> AND I THINK SOME OF THE KIDS THAT I DEAL WITH AND EVEN VISITING SCHOOLS AND MANY I MEETS I FEEL LIKE, MAN, THEY ARE JUST SO WAY ABOVE ANYTHING THAT I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE NUMBER OF THINGS THEY DO, THEIR SCHEDULES THEY HAVE.
I AM -- I AM BUT I THINK I WAS COMMITTED TO ONE THING THIS HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY ARE COMMITTED TO DID HE HAVE VALUE DIFFERENT THINGS BUT I HAD TO LOOK AND THINK ON -- WELL, MAYBE LET ME ASK YOU THIS. IN YOUR -- DO YOU KIND OF KNOW THE NUMBER OF KIDS THAT HAVE RESPONDED.
THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS, KIDS THAT HAVE RESPONDED. >> I DON'T KNOW YET. >> BUT WE MIGHT KNOW THAT. >> IF THE SURVEY THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS A STUDENTS THINK. >> WHEN I LOOK BACK AT THE TIME CRITICALITY CAPACITIES FOR OUR
KIDS, THAT'S 15 AND YOU HIGHLIGHTED ONE UNDER EACH. LIKE SKILLED LEARNERS. >> YES. >> SO I KIND OF HAD TO CHUCKLE TO MYSELF AND I WILL TRY TO SAY THIS SO IT DOESN'T SOUND NEGATIVE. ABOUT YOU WITH THE THINGS THAT YOU HANDLE STRESS AND FEELINGS IN HEALTHY WAYS IN THE PAST
MR. THERE IS AN ADULT. OFF A STUDENT, HAVE WE BEEN POOR EXAMPLES FOR OUR -- FOR SOME OF OUR CHILDREN AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. TO NOW GOING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE.
I MIND, I FEEL LIKE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY WE HAVE SOME REALLY BRIGHT THINKING CRITICAL THINKING KIDS. AND THEY ARE GOING TO GO FORWARD WITH A SOME MAYBE NOT USING SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF ADULTS, YOU NO, HE THAT THEY ARE AROUND.
>> YEP. >> I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NAIL AND IT'S NOT JUST HERE BUT I THINK SOME OF OUR BRIGHTEST STUDENTS THE WORLD IS CHANGING SO QUICKLY THEY ARE STRESSED ABOUT HOW MUCH MORE CAN THEY DO AND HOW QUICK BY LI CAN THEY DO IT.
SITTING WITH THE GROUPS THAT WE WERE INTEREST WNBA IN THAT -- I FORGET THE NAME OF THE GROUP. THEY HAD -- THEY HAD SOME OF THE BEST ANSWERS ALL -- ALL WEEK LONG THAT WEEK. STANDING AND SITTING RIGHT
BEHIND ME. I THOUGHT HE WAS A PROFESSOR OR SOMETHING HE WAS VERY DEEP IN HIS CONVERSATION AND THE REST THE GROUP JOINED IN. IT WAS AN EXCITING TIME. I THINK THE STRESS IS NOT -- IS
LESS ABOUT THE SCHOOL, IT'S MORE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND THEM AND IT'S -- IT'S JUST SO QUICK AND -- MOVED SO QUICKLY THAT THEY WERE LIKE I CAN'T CATCH UP. IT WAS A FUN GROUP, THOUGH. >> I WAS AGE TO SEE YOU CONDUCT
A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FOCUS GROUPS. >> YES, HE DID. >> AND SO THE STUDENT ADVISORY GRIPE WAS GREAT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. THE DISTRICT ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE IS THE OTHER ONE. GLAD YOU EXPENDED ON THE STRESSORS FOR KIDS BECAUSE I WAS GOING ASK ABOUT THAT.
YOU ALSO MENTIONED STRESSORS ON TEACHERS. WHEN WE GET THE FINAL DATA, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE IT DISAGGREGATED SO WE CAN SIGH THESE KEY STAKEHOLDER GROUPS AND
PRIMARY TAKEAWAYS. WISHED BE ABLE TO SEE ON THE SURVEY,LONG AS THEY FILLED OUT THE RIGHT DEMOGRAPHIC. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BREAKDOWN, WERE YOU ABLE TO MEET WITH ANY SOMETIMES GROUPS WITH SOME OF OUR ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOLS
WHICH MAYBE HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES FROM THE STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP. I THINK WHEN WE HAD SOME STUDENTS AND SOME OF OUR GROUPS. OUR VERY FIRST MEETING WAS WI
WITH -- I WANT TO SAY A DIVERSITY GRIPE. EQUITY GROUP. THERE WAS STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE DRIPPING. BUT THEY WERE VERY END GAMING AND THEY SAW THINGS VERY DIFFERENTLY AS OTHER PEOPLE. SO I WOULDN'T KNOW EXACTLY.
>> I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORK WITH STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET REPRESENTATIVE STUDENT VOICES. >> WE DID. >> I THINK SOME OF OUR ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL SAYS MIGHT BE WORK DID. >> CHIEF OF STAFF. >> SO WE ACTUALLY HAD OUR LEADERS FROM ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS.
VOLUNTEERS KIDS AND WE HAD -- >> YOU DID. >> YEAH, WE HAD TO -- WE COULDN'T GO TO ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS AND WE TRIED TO TOUCH AS MANY SCHOOLS AS WE COULD REGIONALLY. I DON'T BELIEVE WE WENT TO ANY
OF OUR ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS GIVEN THE TIME COP STRAIGHTSES ON THAT. >> EVERY PRECIPITATION PAL THAT I MET SAID WHEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE GROUP IN THE ROOM. THEY SAID, THEY ARE FROM EVERY SPECTRUM THAT WE HAVE IN THE
BUILDING. >> ELSE ADD THAT WE HAD STAFF I
BELIEVE ALL THE AL ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS WERE REPRESENTED. >> THAT IS CORRECT. >> WE ASKED OUR BUILDING LEADERS TO GIVE US AN -- KIDS WHO REPRESENT AN AN ARRAY OF EXPERIENCES WITHIN THE BUILDING THINK. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON.
>> HI, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESIDENT DAYS. >> KIND OF GOING BACK TO THE QUESTION THAT DIRECTOR GEIGER BROUGHT UP WITH THE SURVEY RESPONSES. SO I NOTICE THAT, YOU KNOW, AFTER QUESTION ONE, THE NUMBER
OF RESPONSES TO EACH QUESTION THAT END DROPS PRETTY DRAMATICALLY AS WE GO FARTHER DOWN THE STUDY. OR THE SURVEY. ARE THE SURVEY BUSINESS IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE. OR ARE THERE CONSIDERATIONS TO ROTATE THE QUESTIONS TO INCREASE THE END ON SOME OF THOSE THAT
ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 100 RESPONDS TO THEM? >> THEY ARE IN A FORMAT THAT IOWAS DESIGNED BY THE PSYCHO METRICIANS AND OUR VENDOR THAT HOUSES IT. I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE
POSITIONING OF THEM. I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS THAT THE SURVEY IS NOT A LONG SURVEY, BUT IT HAS A LOT OF OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS AND THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT JUST DO NOT LIKE TO DO OPEN-ENDED
QUESTIONS. AND THEY QUICKLY, NOW, IT WE ONLY HAD I THINK ABOUT 800, I THINK, THAT WE STARTED WITH. THAT WERE IN THAT SURVEY AT THAT TIME. THAT WAS BEFORE WE HAD REALLY
LONG FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS WHERE WE PLUGGED THE SURVEYS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE -- WHAT THE COMPLETION RATE IS NOW. SOY I'LL KEEP' EYE ON THAT. THAT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION AND I WILL FOLLOW UP ON IT. >> I WONDER IF ADDING A PROMPT WHEN WE ARE ASKING PEOPLE PLEASE
COMPLETE THE SURVEY. >> YES. >> GET ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SURVEY. SEE WE CAN HEAR YOUR RESPONSES. YOU KNOW, ACROSS ALL OF THESE IMPORTANT CATEGORIES. THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I HAD WAS, YOU KNOW, YOU HAD MENTIONED ACTUALLY A MOMENT AGO ABOUT LIKE IT'S REALLY THE TWO PARTS THE
FORWARD THI THINKING AND INNOVAN AND ALSO THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT OUR STRENGTHS HAVE BEEN, ET CETERA. SO HOW ARE WE EVALUATING OUR STRENGTHS AND AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY AS WE ARE MOVING INTO THIS NEXT PHASE.
>> NOT UNDERSTANDING THE QUESTION. >> ARE WE EVALUATING OUR STRENGTHS AND AREAS OF OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THOSE PERCENTS? >> WHAT WE ARE ASKING THEM IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT THINGS -- ONE OF THE KEY QUESTIONS THAT WE ASKED HIM WHEN WE ARE FACE-TO-FACE IS WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT WE NEED
IT KEEP THE SYSTEM, WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO STOP IN THE SYSTEM. AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE NEED TO ADD TO THE SYSTEM. AND THOSE ARE THE THREE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE BEEN USE TO GO LOOK AT THE INTERNAL, YOU KNOWING, MODEL YOU BUT WE ARE NOT REALLY EVALUATING ANY OF THOSE PROGRAMS AT THIS POINT IN
TIME. WHAT DO SOMETIMESES VALUE IN THE SCHOOL WHAT, DO THE PARENTS VALUE IN THE SCHOOLS, WHAT DO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY VALUE IN THE SCHOOLS. AND WHAT SH SHOULD WE KEEP. AND CONTINUE TO KEEP DOING. >> OKAY. DOES. >> DOES THAT HELP AT ALL. >> DO WE CATEGORIZE IT WHEN THEY
RESPOND. >> YES. >> WHAT ARE SOME TRENDS THAT YOU HAVE NOTICED? >> WE HAVEN'T L ANALYZED IT YET. >> THE SECOND TO LAST SLIDE. OH, YOU HAVE IT UP STILL.
I WAS CURIOUS IF YOU COULD GO IN TO MORE DETAIL. IT WAS THERE, SORRY. THAT SECOND TO LAST WITHIN, FROM HERE. WHEN WE GET TO THE WORK SESSIONS, THE THIRD BULLET. DO YOU MIND EXPAND OKAY WHAT
THAT LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE BIT? >> YEAH. ONCE WE GET DATA AND PUT TOGETHER. WE'LL LOOK FOR FRIENDS AND WHAT IS HAPPENING BETWEEN THE FACE-TO-FACE AND CREATE A DOCUMENT. THAT WILL PUT ALL OF THAT IN A DOCUMENT. THE POINT IS IT WILL BE OVERFLOWING WITH ALL KIND KINDS
OF THINGS. WITH NEED TO SIT WITH SUPERINTENDENT, CAN GET, BOARDS AND SAYING, OKAY, THESE ARE THE TRENDS WE SEE. THESE ARE ARE THE THINGS WE SEE. WE DON'T LIVE IN THIS BUILDING EVERY WEEK, WE ARE NOT WORKING IN IT. WE NEED TO YOU TELL US WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT ACCENT. THAT WILL ADD TO THE SYSTEMS
WORK. AND NOT. WE'LL BE GOING THROUGH THAT WITH THE DISTRICT PARTICULARLY AND WITH CABINET. AND THEN THE OUTCOME OF THE PROJECT IS TO CREATE THREE THINGS. THAT ARE IMPORTANT.
ONE WAS LITERALLY A PUNISH-PAGE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT YOU CAN SHOW EVERYBODY AND PUT EVERYWHERE AND PEEP DON'T NEED A GIANT DOCUMENT. TWO, A PRESENCE I HAVE LOOK AT THIS DATA. AND THE CRITICAL AREAS. WE LACK AT KEY ELEMENT AND SAYS
EXTRA COOLING I CAN PRIORITIES AND GOALS. THE LAST THING IS PUT TOGETHER A GROW SURE THAT WOULD BE ABOUT THE DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOLS AND WHERE THEY ARE GOING AND BUILD SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE THAT YOU CAN USE WITH THE PUBLIC, AND YOU
CAN USE AT MEETINGS, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING. IN THE BIG PLAN THERE WILL BE GOALS, FOR THE DISTRICT. AND HOW YOU WOULD MEASURE THEM. WELL PULL OUT THAT TOGETHER. THAT WILL BE A KEY PART OF THE
MAJOR PART OF THE PROJECT. >> THANK YOU. >> OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU, GUYS. APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU. >> MOVING INTO OUR POLICY GOVERNANCE SECTION, NUMBER 22
SUPERINTENDENT -- SORRY. MONITORING REPORT ON EXECUTIVE LIMITATION EVEN ASSETS
PROTECTION. >> AS WITH THE LAST EXECUTIVE
LIMITATION, WE PROVIDED THE INFORMATION FOR YOUR REVIEW AND MR. REYNOLDS AND MYSELF ARE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MAY HAVE.
OR AT LEAST THEY WERE. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON.
>> THANK YOU. I HAVE REALLY SIMPLE QUESTION, JUST FOR THE THE LEVEL OF COMPLIANCE. >> CAN YOU SPECIFY WHAT PAGE SO THAT MR. -- MR. BLARE CAN GET
THERE. >> IT'S CLOSE TO THE TOP, THOUGH. >> RIGHT THERE. >> FUELLY NOTICED PAGE NUMBERS. >> HOW DO WE GET TO 80% S THAT A
STANDARD, IS IT, THE COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS. >> I THINK THAT'S A FAIRLY COMMON METRICS REGARDING THAT. WE CERTAINLY CAN EVALUATE THAT AND HANG THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
>> THE NEXT QUESTION I HAVE IS I DON'T KNOW THE PAGE NUMBER BUT JUST THE COMPLIANCE OF IS ALL YOU PUT IS MY REFERENCE TO GET TO IT. I WASN'T SURE IF WE WOULD QUICKLY SKIM THE DOCUMENT.
LET ME JUST PULL IT UP. >> MY APOLOGIES WE DON'T HAVE PAGE NUMBERS, I WILL CORRECT THAT NEXT TIME. IT'S THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND. >> SHE WANTS THAT ONE. >> THIRD PAGE, MR. BLARE, TOP OF
THE THIRD PAGE. >> HE'S ON PAGE FOUR. >> OKAY, THANKS, JUST A QUESTION
ABOUT THE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT. COMPLIANCE WILL BE DEMONSTRATED WITH THE DISTRIBUTE ADOPTS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT PROACTIVE MANAGE LEGAL RISKS. I WONDER IF THIS SHOULD INCLUDE ALSO FOLLOWING THOSE POLICIES. LIKE IF THERE SHOULD BE THAT SECOND PART. SO IT'S NOT JUST THE POLICIES
THEMSELVES BUT THAT WE HAVE POLICIES BUT THAT WE ARE ADHERING TO THE POLICIES. WE HAVE THAT KIND OF LIKE THAT IN OTHER COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS LATER ON. LIKE WE SEE THAT DUEL. WE HAVE THE RULE AND THEN WE ARE ALSO FOLLOWING THE RULE. THAT WAS MY -- >> SURE, WE CAN MAKE THAT
CHANGE. >> THAT'S IT. >> DIRECT TORE MEEK. >> I HAD A QUESTION AROUND CYBER INSURANCE POLICIES AND JUST WONDERING IF IN THE CURRENT END ENVIRONMENT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ISSUED HAVE PROVIDED EARLIER SO I DON'T EXPECT AN
ANSWER RIGHT NOW. >> JUST KNOWING THE PREVALENCE OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE BEING HACKED AND DEALING WITH THAT. I WAS CURIOUS IF THAT COULD BE ADDRESSED IF NOT TONIGHT IN THE
FUTURE. WE HAVE. >> WE HAVE IT ON PAGE THREE. >> I KNOW WE HAVE INSURANCE I AM WONDERING IF DO YOU FEEL LIKE IT HAS CHANGED OR NEEDS TO CHANGE. GIVEN THE TURN ENVIRONMENTAL I JUST KNOW WHEN I WORK WITH A LOT
OF DISTRICTS THAT'S AN AREA OF CONCERN RIGHT NOW. >> WE GUILT BACK TO YOU THAT. >> MANAGEMENT IS IN MY
DEPARTMENT. AND I DO ADDRESS THE EXTEND OF OUR LIABILITY OR OUR EXPOSURE FOR CYBER RISK WITH OUR DIRECTOR OF RISK KATIE VAN HORN AND SHE ASSURES ME THAT WE HAVE SUFFICIENT INSURANCE TO PROTECT
THE ISSUES THAT ARISE IN THIS CURRENT ENVIRONMENT RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL FOR THERE TO BE A BREACH OR CONCERNS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER.
>> CAN YOU TELL ME HOW OFTEN REREEVALUATE OUR INSURANCE PROVIDER? IS IT YEARLY, TWO-YEAR POLICIES? THAT KIND OF THING. >> WE EVALUATE INSURANCE ON A YEARLY BASIS. >> AND DO WE USE A -- WE USE A BROKE TORAH SIFT US WITH THAT?
>> WE DO NOT NECESSARILY USE A BROKER FOR -- I CAN'T SPECIFICALLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION WITHOUT GETTING MORE INFORMATION FROM OUR DIRECTOR OF RISK. I'S PARTICIPATE AND KNOW THAT IN SOME INSTANCES FOR CERTAIN TIMES
OF INSURANCE, WE MAY UTILIZE A BROKER OR A CONDUIT FOR DETERMINING AND EVALUATING THE BEST SOURCE FOR A PARTICULAR TYPE OF INSURANCE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, MOVING TO ITEM NUMBER 23, PROPOSED RECEPTIONS TO LBD-R-1 CHARTER SCHOOL PROCEDURE MANUAL FOR OUR SECOND READING. >> HELLO. >> HI.
>> AND THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE BACK. I -- THOSE -- HAVING ALL THOSE DASHES SOMETIMES MAKES ME WORD SLIP AS WELL. I WANTED TO JUST GIVE A COUPLE OF THINGS UP FRONT BEFORE YOU GET INTO SECOND READING JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT GIVE YOU KIND OF
WHAT HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN FIRST READING AND SECOND READING AND WHAT HAS BUN DONE IN TERMS OF FEEDBACK AND CLAN RAKE IN THE SYSTEM. BACK IN SEPTEMBER, I WANT TO START WITH THE REASON FOR THESE REVISIONS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CURRENT POLICY WAS REALLY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF TWOFOLD.
NUMBER UP WITH, WE WANT TO MAINTAIN STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING EVERYTHING TO THE EXTEND OF THE LAW AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE PROTECTED WITH THEIR AUTONOMY ALONG WITH THE ACCOUNTABILITY THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AS AUTHORIZERS SO IN A SITUATION WE HAD. WE LOOKED A THE AT OUR CURRENT
POLICY THAT IS IN PLACE AND, THAT HIM POLICE INDICATIONS IN THERE AROUND CAPPING OF -- IF THERE WAS A CHANGE IN END ROLE. INCREASING THE ENROLLMENT OF THE STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL, THAT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD COME TO THE BOARD. THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE
HAD IN PRACTICE AND WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH THESE, WE LEARN FROM THAT EXPERIENCE, TOOK FEEDBACK FROM SOME STAKE HOLDER ANDS LEARNED THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE SHOULD UPDATE THAT. BECAUSE THIS SITUATION LIKE A SCHOOL THAT HAS A CURRENT, AGAIN, IF IT'S AUTHORIZED AS A
LET'S SAY A K-8 SCHOOL OR K-12. IF THAT K-12 SCHOOL WANTS TO DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THEIR BUILDING, AND INCREASE THEIR END ROLE. THAT'S REALLY IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CHARTER SCHOOL LAW. THEY CAN DO THAT. THEY CAN DO THAT WITHOUT COME TO THIS BOARD. BUT IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE KIND OF NUANCES WITH THAT
EXPANSION, LET'S SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE WHAT YOU SAW WAS GLOBAL VILLAGE CURRENTLY. THAT SCHOOL, WAS A K-6, WAS EXPANDED GRADE LEVELS THEIR CONTRACT WITH YOU AND THEIR BOARD ONLY AUTHORIZES THEM CURRENTLY TO DO K-6, THEY WOULD
HAVE TO TELL US AND GO THROUGH AN APPLICATION FOR YOU TO THEN AMOUNT THEIR CONTRACT THROUGH RESOLUTION TO EXPAND THE K-8. TO ADD THOSE GREAT LEVELS IN. SO THAT GREAT LEVEL EXPANSION ADDING SOMETHING THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY IN THEIR CONTRACT, IS WHAT WOULD TRIGGER AN
APPLICATION AND A PRESENTATION TO YOU. OKAY, SO IT'S KIND OF -- THERE IS A FEW LAYERS THERE. AND I THINK THAT'S A KEY DISTINCTION TO MAKE, IS THAT THE CURRENT WAY THAT THIS POLICY IS WRITTEN, IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED, IS TO SAY THAT THIS SCHOOL ON
THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, IF THERE IS NO CHANGE TO GRADE LEVELS. AND NO MAJOR PROGRAMMING, LIKE ADDING A SOCIAL -- OR A SSN CLASSROOM PROGRAM OR ADDING A SPECIFIC LET'S SAY HOME SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM. SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT'S NOT
IN A CURRENT CONTRACT, THAT IS NOTHING THAT HAS TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD. THAT'S A CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND THAT IS JUST A CHANGE. IT'S REALLY NOT EVEN A CONTRACT AMENDMENT. THEY CAN JUST DO IT. THEY CAN JUST DO THOSE THINGS. BUT IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS A MAJOR PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT.
OR AN ADDITIONAL OF GREATS, THAT IS A CONTRACT WITH YOU IN THEIR BOARD THAT HAS TO COME BACK TO US SO THAT WE CAN PRESENT THAT CASE TO YOU AND SAY, THEY HAVE SUBMITTED SUFFICIENT INFORMATION, WE ARE ASKING YOU TO A PROVE THAT CONTRACT AMENDMENT WHICH WOULD THEN GO TO THEIR BOARD. THAT'S KIND OF A KEY DISTINCTION
THERE. WE DID HAVE MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FEEDBACK. ON 9:13 THERE WAS FEEDBACK IN OUR WEEKLY MUSE LETTERS THAT WE PUT OUT TO OUR CHARTERS THAT WAS AGAIN REPEATED. THE FOLLOWING WEEK SO THERE WAS TWO OPPORTUNITY SAYS THAT WENT OUT TO EVERY SINGLE CHARTER
LEADER THEY GET THAT A WEEKLY BASIS TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE FIRST READING ALSO AT OUR OCTOBER 3rd DISTRICT LEADERSHIP MEETING PRESS TAKE MADE BY ME TO ALL CHATTER LEADER IN THE ATTENDANCE GOING THROUGHOUT THE OUT LINES OF THE FIRST READING REVISIONS AFTER THAT.
WE DID GET SOME FEEDBACK. FROM THE ALLIANCE OF CHARTER SCHOOLS IN DOUGLAS COUNT WAY TO BOARD MEMBERS AND YOU HAVE THAT A CATCH. ON YOUR DOCUMENT. THEY SENT BACK FEEDBACK. AND WE, AGAIN, TOOK THAT IN GOOD FAITH AND REVIEWED AND WENT FLEW AND THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS AWAY WE AGREE WITH IN THEIR REVISIONS AND SO WE DID STRIKE
SOME THINGS THAT WERE MORE ELEMENTS OF THE APPLICATION. OR THAT WERE CONFUSING AND MIGHT MAKE IT SEEM LIKE, AGAIN, THAT THEY WERE HAVING TO ASKING IN A SITUATION THAT STATE LAW PROVIDES THEY DON'T HAVE TO ASK, WE TRIED TO CLEAN IT UP THAT WAY AND DO THAT.
WE HAD THAT FEEDBACK. AN IN-PERSON MEETING WITH. VIRTUAL MEETING WITH A COUPLE OF DIRECTORS FROM THE ALLIANCE. AND FEBRUARY, FEBRUARY 4th. WE THEN DID NOT GET ANY FEEDBACK AT ALL FROM THE PUBLIC. THE COMMUNITY FORUM FEEDBACKS WE DID NOT GET KNIT FEEDBACK
THROUGH THAT AVENUE. BUT THEN WE DID AFTER THIS, PROPOSED REVISION AND AFTER THE FINAL ITERATIONS I DID MEET AGAIN WITH THE TWO BOARD DIRECTORS OF THE ALLIANCE OF CHARTER SCHOOLS LAST FRIDAY AND LET THEM KNOW HERE IS WHAT HAS BEEN GONE THROUGH, HERE IS WHAT WILL BE ON THE BOARD DOCS GIVING
THEM' UPDATE BEFORE EVERYTHING WENT PUBLIC. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU SAW KIND OF THE LINE OF COMMUNICATION THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON, BUT COMING BACK TO THAT AGAIN AND SAYING, WE DID RECEIVE GREAT FEEDBACK FROM OUR CHARTER SCHOOL PARTNERS. WE HAD THAT REVIEWED BY INTERNAL AND OUTSIDE COUNSEL.
LOOKING AT WHAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO BY THE STATE. IN TERMS OF OUR AUTHORIZATION PRACTICE. WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING THE
INTEGRITY OF CHARTER SCHOOL LAW. >> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> WHAT'S A MAJOR CHANGE. DID I MISS WHERE WE DESIGN NAD.
>> THIS WAS IN OUR CONVERSATIONS. SOMETHING THAT IS -- LET ME GIVE YOU -- IT'S HARD TO PUT ALL EXAMPLES IN THERE. AN EXAMPLE OF ASPEN VIEW ACADEMY A FEW YEARS AGO. THEY SAID, WE ARE NOT ADDING GRADE LEVELS WE ARE ALREADY AT K-8.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO DO OUR SCIENCE LABS. WE NEED TO BUILD AN ADDITION TO OUR SCHOOL TO DO SCIENCE LABS THAT WOULD NOT GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, CHALLENGE THE EXCELLENCE, RECENTLY. ACTUALLY TWO CASES WE CHALLENGED EXCELLENCE, FEW YEARS AGO, WE QUESTION SIDEED TO CHANGE THEIR
LIBRARY INTO A STEM LEARNING CENTER. THAT'S IN LINE WITH YOUR CONTRACT THINK YOU DON'T NEED IT. MAJOR PROGRAM SUCH AS LIKE WE ARE ADDING A SSN PROGRAM. OR WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING A
HOME SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM. AUTHORIZE THINGS THAT ARE KIND OF MAJOR PROGRAMMING. >> AND THOSE WOULD GENERALLY NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH THE LANGUAGE AND THE CURRENT CHARTER THINK THE KEY HERE IS IF YOU ARE CHANGING THE CONTRACT, RIGHT? >> YES. >> OKAY. AND SO THAT WOULD BE -- IF THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE
LANGUAGE, TO THE -- YOU ARE PROVIDING IN WAYS THAT ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT CONTRACT, BOTH PARTIES TO THE CONTRACT HAVE TO AGREE TO IT. >> CORRECT. >> SOAR, AS A LAWYER THAT'S KIND OF BASIC CONTRACT LAW AND A CHARTER IN MAIN WAYS SAY CONTRACT, RIGHT? >> CORRECT. >> OKAY.
AND THIS ALSO HELPS THE DISTRICT IN THAT, FOR EXAMPLE, GLOBAL VILLAGE'S EXPANSION, WHEN WE -- WHEN THEY EXPAND TWO GRADES, THAT IMPACTS ENROLLMENT AT OTHER -- NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS. WE DON'T USE THAT AS A CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL IT.
BUT HAVING A PROCESS WHEREBY IF THEY MAKE A CHANGE LIKE THAT. WE ARE AWARE HELPS US PLAN BETTER FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS, CORRECT? >> AND FOR OTHER CHARTER SCHOOLS. >> SURE. IT DOES, BUT ALSO I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT, AGAIN, WE ARE NOT LIMITING THAT ENROLLMENT.
WE ARE NOT SAYING YOU CAN'T DO THAT. BECAUSE IT WOULD DRAW STUDENTS FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL. JUST SAYING THAT WE KNOW. WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE CONTRACTS AND WE NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE THINGS IN A ROW TO DO IT. >> THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE FACT THAT WE ARE WE ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO KEEP TRACK OF WHERE THE KIDS ARE AND FUTURE AND IF OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
PROVIDING A DIFFERENT RESOURCES. THAT HELPS US PLAN BET FOR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS, CORRECT? >> I WOULD PROBABLY SAY YES. >> THANK YOU, THAT'S ALL I HAD. >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE. >> YEAH, THANK YOU, JUST TO AID A COUPLE OF CLARIFICATIONS. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGE WOULD BE WE ARE A
CORE KNOWLEDGE SCHOOL AND FOULED WE WANT TO BE A PERSONAL FORMING ARTS SCHOOL. THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEIR CONTRACT IS. AND PER TAPE TO THIS NUMBER OF STUDENT, WE DO GET END ROLE. PROJECTIONS FROM OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS EVERY SINGLE YEAR, SO
THAT'S BUILT INTO OUR ROUTINE PROCESS. THAT WE HAVE THOSE PROJECTIONS FROM CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT CAN HELP INFORM US ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK ATTA JUSTING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS, THANK YOU.
AND DIRECTOR WINEGAR. >> SO WITH THE ATTACHMENT THAT YOU HAVE ON HERE RIGHT NOW, DOES IT NEED TO BE UPDATED OR ANYTHING ON IS THIS LANGUAGE CORRECT? AND SAYING THAT YOU ONLY NEED TO COME TO US FOR AN EXPANSION IF
YOU ARE ADDING GRADES, NOT IF YOU ARE CHANGING -- LIKE ADDING A CLASSROOM WITH THAT SAME GREAT? >> EXACTLY. >> OKAY. I DON'T KNOW IF THE UPDATES AFTER THE LAST CONVERSATION -- >> I DO WITH HAVE ONE THAT -- >> WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE UPDATE
THAT WE JUST RECOMMENDED IN A RECENT EMAIL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT EXPANSION ONLY MEANS WHEN YOU ARE CHANGING THE GRADE LEVELS YOU SERVE OR YOU ARE CHANGING THE PROGRAMMING THAT'S LAID OUT
IN YOUR CONTRACT IN A MAJOR WAY, MATERIAL CHANGE. >> GO AHEAD, DIRECTOR MYERS, ORIGINALLY I SENT OUT AN EMAIL EARLY TO THE BOARD THAT I WANTED TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM 23, THE
LB D-R-1 MAYBE UNTIL MAY BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH ON OUR PLATE IN APRIL. BECAUSE OF AN EMAIL WE RECEIVED. WHICH WAS THE SAME PERSON THAT WE HAD PUBLIC COMMENT FROM TONIGHT, JUST WONDERING, YOU KNOW, I THINK A CONCERN WAS ARE
WE RECITING STATE LAW, USING OUR STATE LAW. AS DUE TO AN EXPANSION. AND ARE WE, YOU KNOW, ARE WE -- WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE -- I HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS. PHYSICAL THAT GOING FORWARD THAT
WE KEEP THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS. AND COULD HAVE THIS EVER BE A LIABILITY FOR THE DISTRICT. IF WE ARE NOT -- IF WE'VE GOT SOME THINGS IN THERE. MAYBE JUST EVEN IF REMOVING THE
EXPANSION, THE WHOLE EXPANSION STATEMENT. >> SO IT WOULD NOT BE OUR RECOMMENDATION TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE EXPANSION STATEMENT BECAUSE IF A CHARTER SCHOOL WE WANT FROM BEING A K-5 TO A K-8
WE DO NEED TO APPROVE THAT BECAUSE THAT IS NOT IN THEIR CHARTER. LIKEWISE, IF A CHARTER SCHOOL WANTED TO CHANGE FROM A CORE KNOWLEDGE SCHOOL TO A PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL THAT'S NO IN THEIR CHARTER. SO THAT'S WHY THAT EXPANSION
SECTION EX-SIEVES IN THE CASE OF EMAIL THAT WE RECEIVED AND YOU ALL MAY HAVE SEEN THAT I REP REPLIED, THAT GENTLEMEN'S CHARTER SCHOOL HAVING TO GO THROUGH A EXPANSION PROCESS
WHICH UNDER THE POLICY AS -- UNDER THE POLICY AS IT IS TODAY, THAT CHARTER SCHOOL WOULD HAVE TO, UNDER THE POLICY, WITH THESE PRO PASSED REVISIONS. A CHANGE IN YOUR EXISTING LOCATION, CHANGING YOUR BUILDING. OR CHANGING THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT YOU HAVE ENROLLED IN THE GREAT LEVELS THAT YOU ARE
ALREADY APPROVED FOR. DOES NOT TRIGGER A SO-CALLED EXPANSION. >> SO I GUESS WITH THE LAST INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS, I WIND FAR I HAVE ENOUGH
INFORMATION TO MAKE A GOOD QUESTION SIX TONIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S AN ACTION ITEM. CORRECT? AND THAT ALL OF OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS, I KNOW YOU -- I TOOK NOTES. MR. MOSHER, THAT, YOU KNOW, ABOUT YOU HAD FIELD FEED BACK
FROM THE CHARTER SCHOOLS. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT GOING FORWARD THAT WE HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP AND ARE WE GOING TO MAINTAIN IT WITH THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE WITH THE WORDING THAT WE HAVE IN THIS LB D-R-1.
ARE THEY ALL, YOU KNOW, PRETTY HAPPY I GUESS. >> SUPERINTENDENT KANE? >> I WOULD ADD PART OF THE REASON AS MR. MORE EAR SAID PART OF THE REASON WE ARE THANKING LBD-R-BUN IS TO MAKE IT LESSONS TRUCE FIVE OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS.
SO THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT THAT MAKES IT LESSONS TRUCE FIVE THE CHARTER SCHOOLS AND LEN OWN JUSTICE FOR OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS. IT IS A POSITIVE CHANGES. IF WE LEAVE THE CURRENT POLICY IN PLACE IN HIM MAY, IT WILL BE MORE ONEROUS FOR OUR CHARTER
SCHOOLS BECAUSE THE CURRENT POLICY IS MORE OWN JUSTICE THAN WHAT WE ARE -- THAN WHAT WE ARE SUGGESTING HERE. WAS THAT A REASONABLE SUMMARY? I AM SORRY I FEEL LIKE I SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD MAN. >> I WANT TO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS INFORMATION COMING OUT. SO QUICKLY AND HAVING TO RESPOND
TO IT THAT WE ARE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE WITH OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS. THAT I COMPARED WITH THE EMAIL AND THE PUBLIC COMMENT WITH OUR
POLICY. THE OTHER ELEMENT ON THAT JUST TO BE AWARE OF THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE RENEWAL CONTRACTS. OF FOUR RENEWAL SCHOOLS AND THAT WE NEED TO WRITE AND WE ARE ON A TIME LINE OF GETTING THOSE TO THOSE SCHOOLS BUT WE CANNOT DO THOSE RENEWAL CONTRACTS YET.
BECAUSE WE ARE WAITING ON THIS AND THERE IS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WHIPPING ON THIS THAT PER TAPES TO THE CONTRACTS. WEAPON TO HE HAD GET THE CONTRACTS FINALIZED AND BACK TO YOU ON THE REMOVAL SCHOOLS WHO WENT THROUGH THIS PAST FALL. >> SO WE ARE ON A LITTLE BIT OF A DEADLINE?
>> BUT WE HAVE A POLICY IN PLACE. >> BUT IT'S WORSE. >> WE HAVE A POLICY.
>> LOOKING AT THE EMAIL THAT RECEIVED AND THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN THERE THAT UP FORMALLY JUST BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET THE LANGUAGE UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON, BY NO FAULT OF THE DISTRICT I WANT TO BE CLEAR, I MEAN, WE DIDN'T RECEIVE AN EMAIL UNTIL LATE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THERE IS ZERO BLAME ON THAT.
IT'S JUST I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE. IT WAS 1:30 TODAY AND WE HAD A MEETING THAT STARTED AT 4:15. BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE NEW LANGUAGE, DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> I WAS JUST GOING TO THANK YOU
FOR THE INFORMATION. I HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT AND I FELT LIKE IT CLARIFIED IT. SO I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE ANY OUTSTANDING REQUESTS ON THE POLICY. >> A MOTION? >> MOVE TO AHEAD A DON'T THE
POLICY AS WRITTEN. >> MOVED BY GEIGER. SECOND -- SORRY. >> THE PROPOSED REVISION THAT HAD BEEN SHARED EARLIER TODAY WITH THE BOARD IS -- CAN BE FOUND AND I JUST LIKE TO IDENTIFY IT FOR THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION AND THE PUBLIC LISTENING IN, ON THE BOTTOM. PAGE 12 IN THE REDLINE VERSION IF THAT COULD BE PUT UP ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS THE UNREDLINED -- THIS
IS WE HAD ARE RED LINED. OKAY. RIGHT HERE. THE SECOND TO THE BOTTOM LINE, -- EXCUSE MY, IT'S IN THE THIRD LINE IN THE SECOND
PARAGRAPH. WHERE IT SAYS, EXISTING LEADERSHIP TO EXPAND. THE PROPOSAL IS TO CHANGE THAT LANGUAGE TO CONTINUE TO INCLUDE
THE SCOPE BY ADDING GRADE LEVELS OR MAJOR PROGRAMS. SO WE WOULD NOT DELETE THE SCOPE. , BUT IT'S -- SO THE SENTENCE WOULD READ, AND EXPANSION APPLICATION IS NOT AN EVALUATION OF AN APPLICATION TEAM'S
CAPACITY TO CREATE A NEW CHARTER SCHOOL. INSTEAD, IT IS AN EVALUATION OF AFTERNOON EXISTING CHARTER SCHOOL'S SUCCESS, CAPACITY OF THE EXISTING LEADERSHIP TO EXPAND THE SCOPE. BY ADDING GRADE LEVELS OR MAJOR
PROGRAMS. SO YOU -- WE ARE NOT DELETING THE TWO WORDS THE SCOPE. WE ARE LEADING OR ADD AND WE ARE ADDING BY ADDING GRADE LEVELS OR MAJOR PROGRAMS. >> AND IF I COULD ADD PRESIDENT
WILLIAMS. SO THE SAME CHANGE SHOULD BE MADE TO THE VERY FIRST ZIP TENSE UNDER CHARTER SCHOOL EXPANSION PROCEDURE FOR EXISTING DISTRICT CHARTER SCHOOLS INTERESTED IN EXPANDING THE SCOPE BY ADDING
GRADE LEVELS OR MAJOR PROGRAMS. SAME EXACT SAME CHANGE IN TWO PLACES. >> CAN I ASK FOR ONE MORE THING BEFORE WE GO TO A VOTE. I -- IS THERE ANY WAY -- THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN THIS THAT HAVE STATE LAW.
CAN WE SITE STATE LAW AND NOT UNDER THE EXPANSION PORTION? >> I P THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT WE
WOULD BE COME PLYING WITH STATE LAW. AND CLEARLY THERE ARE PROCEDURES IN PLACE FOR ANY CHARTER SCHOOL. TO FILE ANY OBJECTION THROUGH THESE, YOU KNOW, APPLICABLE PROCEDURES FOR CHALLENGING ACTIONS THAT MIGHT BE TAKEN BY
THE DIRECTOR IT'S BOARD OF EDUCATION. TO THE EXTENT THAT LIKE TO
CONSIDER ADDITION OF A COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW IN THE EXPANSION SECTION OF THIS POLICY. I THINK THE VERY LAST SENTENCE.
IF WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT PAGE. WE COULD ADD A SENTENCE THAT THE DISTRICT WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT AT,
AND I CAN -- I BELIEVE REFERENCE THE SECTION FOR YOU IF YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO LOOK IT UP. MIGHT TAKE WHILE. BUT WE CAN REFERENCE THAT
SPECIFIC SEXY THINK IT'S 2 22-30.5107. BUT LEAD I CAN TO CHECK THAT. >> ANOTHER -- I THINK THERE IS ONE MORE PART WHILE YOU ARE
LOOKING THAT UP, THAT WE'LL HAVE TO INCLUDE AND EDIT. ON PAGE 12. EXPANSION SUBMITTED BY EXISTING CHARGE SCHOOLS. FOR ADDING GRADE LEVELS NOT
EXPANSION OF GRADE LEVELS. >> ON PAGE 12, IT'S THE LAST SENTENCE. EXPANSION APPLICATIONS ARE SUBMITTED BY EXISTING DCSD AUTHORIZED CHARTER SCHOOLS FOR
ADDING OR ADDITION OF. >> FOR EXPAND BEING THE SCOPE BY ADDING GRADE LEVELS OR MAJOR PROGRAMS. SAME EXACT L LANG, LANGUAGE.
GOT CATCH. >> IT IS WHAT I AM WORRIED ABOUT. WE HAVE NOT HAD ENOUGH TIME. >> THIS IS FEELING A LITTLE MESSY, I WONDER IF WE JUST GET THE CREDITS MADE AND HAVE IT ON CONCEPTS AGENDA AT THE NEXT MEETING AND WE CAN PULL IT IF WE HAVE QUESTIONS. BUT --
>> AND I THINK THAT -- APRIL 8 MAKE IT A VOTING MEETING SO WE CAN GIVE THE PUBLIC AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE TWO PUBLIC COMMENT SESSIONS FOR THE COP SAL DAYS OF SCHOOLS BEING SO I AM OPEN TO DOING THAT, BUT I KNOW WE ALREADY HAVE A MOTION AND A
SECOND, SO DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR MOTION OFF, BRAD? OR -- >> I WILL WITHDRAW MY MOTION TILT. >> DO YOU WITHDRAW AS WELL? >> YOU YEAH, I WITHDRAW IF WE ARE GOING TO DO IT ON THE NEXT MEETING.
>> YES. I AM GOOD WITH THAT. >> I'LL NEED A MOTION TO PUT THIS ON THE CONCEPT, -- MAKE ALL OF THE NECESSARY CHANGES PUT TO THE CONCEPTS AJINCA DA NO THE APRIL 8TH MEETING.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO DO THAT. >> SO MOVED. >> MOTION BY GEIGER, SECOND BY WINEGAR. GEIGER. >> AYE. >> MEEK. >> AYE. >> MOORE. >> AYE. >> MYERS. >> AYE, THOMPSON. >> AYE. >> WILLIAMS, AYE.
WINEGAR. >> AYE. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.
>> PROSED RESCISSION OF FISCAL MANAGE. POLICIES D.B., D.B.-R, DFA, DID, DIE, AND DN, FIGURES READING. >> I AM BACK. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAVE REVISITED THESE FINANCIAL POLICIES IT'S YOUR "D" SECTION OF YOUR BOARD POLICIES.
LUCKILY I THINK THEY ARE IN STILL PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. THIS IS A LOT OF CLEAN UP. A LITTLE BIT RIVERS TO N CURRENT LAW AND ADD SOMETHING CLARIFICATION, I WILL NOT GO THROUGH A LOT OF DETAIL ON THESE BUT HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND THERE ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS
THAT I WILL HIT ON A FEW OF THESE. ALL OF THESE POLICIES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY THE FISCAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AND THERE ARE SOME COMMENTS THAT HAVE GUN CHANGED WITH THEIR SUGGESTIONS TO THIS.
SO JUST KNOW THEY HAVE HAD TWO CHANCES TO TURLEY REVIEW THESE. SO THE FIRST BUN IS D.B., THE ANNUAL BUDGET. AND I ACTUALLY REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T GET THE RED LINE ON THE FIRST ONE DONE CORRECTLY I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. IT USED TOES SAY THAT ALL DECISIONS SHALL BE MADE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH -- SHALL BE MADE HONESTLY. IS WHAT IT SAID. I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST WAY TOO VAGUE. AND SO WE REALLY WANTED TO PUT THAT INTO SOMETHING MORE SOLID THAT OUR PUBLIC COULD PUT THAT YOU ARE HANDS ON AND REFER TO WE
CHANGES THAT TO ALL DECISIONS SHALL BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH BOARD MEMBERS, CODE OF ETHICS AND CODY OF CONDUCT. AND THEN WE ADDED THAT REFERENCE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POLICY. AND THEN THE SECOND RED ONE ON HERE WAS A SUGGESTION DIRECTLY THAT CAME FROM THE FISCAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE.
THAT THEY WANTED SOME DIPPED OF A FISCAL STATEMENT THAT YOU WILL DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THE DISTRICT. AND NOT HAVE PERSONAL FINANCIAL OR OTHER STAKEHOLDER VIEWPOINTS. THAT YOU ARE USING IN THERE.
THAT IS IT FOR D.B. DO YOU WANT ME TO GO THROUGH THESE? DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE QUESTIONS IN BETWEEN? DO YOU HAUNT TO DO THIS? >> IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO TAKE QUESTIONS AS WE SEE THEM. SO DIRECTOR MEEK? >> THANK YOU FOR THE WORK ON THIS. THE SECOND BULLET THAT IS ADDED THERE. OR THE BOTTOM BULLET. ISN'T THAT ALREADY IN POLICY?
>> IT'S IN THE CODE OF CONDUCT ALSO JUST REWORDED SIGHTLY FROM THE CODE OF CONDUCT. AND WE BROUGHT THAT UP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY WERE ADAMANT THAT THEY WANTED IT THERE. BUT IT'S YOUR POLICY. >> IS THERE A CROSS-REFERENCE AT THE BOTTOM? >> THERE IS.
>> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> I WANT TO SAY THAT I APPRECIATE THE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE OUR COMMITTEES ON REVIEWING AND UPDATING THEY POLICIES. AND NECESSARILY BUT I APPRECIATE THAT IT WAS A PROACTIVE PROCESS. >> THANK YOU. >> MOVE ON. >> ALL RIGHT.
>> STILL ON BULLET THE NEXT ONE IS D.B. R. A FEW ADDITIONAL CHANGES ON THIS ONE. IT'S A LITTLE LIMITED TO ONE SECTION, SO THIS SECTION NUMBER THREE IS RELATED TO CARRYOVER.
SO THE FIRST ONE SAID THAT THE SCHOOL WILL DEVELOP A SPENDING PLAN. ON THE USE OF CARE EYE OVER FOR MONEY, FOR THE AMOUNT OVER 1%. OF THEIR PROVIDED DISCRETIONARY BILL ET CETERA. WE HAVE -- WE HAVE A COMMENT ONS BACK FROM ONE OF OUR SMALLER SCHOOL SAYS THAT SAID 1% IS
SMALL. AND I CAN'T EVEN BUY TPH-RL -- T GENERAL AGE TEACHER FOR MY 1% AND IT WAS HARD TO DEVELOP A PLAN AROUND SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT. SO WE PUT A.
>> THE SUGGESTION WAS TO SAY AT LEAST I WANT TO BUY ONE GENERAL TEACHER. BUT WE WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT FOR A OUR PUBLIC OF WHAT IS THE COST OF A TEACHER SO WE SETTLED ON 150,000 JUST TO HAVE SOME
MONEY THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY TWO SOMETHING WITH, WAS THE THOUGHT THERE. WE SCRATCHED OFF "B" BUT IT'S INCLUDED IN BETTER CAN HE TAIL IN THE ONES THAT FOLLOW. "C", ACTUALLY BET LET ME GO TO
"D" "D" IS THAT ALL CARRYOVER AMOUNTS WILL BE PUT ONTO OUR TRANSPARENT SIP WEBSITE. IT'S VERY CLEAR ON WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO. WE L A PUT THE CARE ORE AMOUNTS IN EACH DISTRICT ONTO THE
WEBSITE. I THINK THAT'S IT. QUESTIONS ON THAT. >> DIRECTOR MEEK. >> SURE. ITEM "B" THAT HAS BEEN STRUCK. SCHOOL STAFF AND SCHOOL
ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE. VELOCITY PRIDING INPUT TO THE SPENDING PLAN. WHY WAS THAT TAKEN OUT? >> STITCHED UP ABOVE THAT WE HAVE SCHOOL LEADERS WILL SUBMIT
THE SPENDING PLAN TO THE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP -- ACTUALLY I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THE RIGHT ONE UP HERE. WE -- WE HAVE PUT ON HERE THAT -- AND I THINK I NEED TO GET YOU GUYS A BETTER COPY OF THIS, I AM SO SORRY, THERE WERE
A COUPLE OF COPIES GOING AROUND. SO HE WE -- THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS JUST TO SAY THAT WE WILL GIVE ALL CARRYOVER CONVERSATIONS WILL HAPPEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BIGGER BUDGET CONVERSATION AND SECONDLY, THAT ONCE THERE IS A
PLAN, IF WILL BE GIVEN TO THE SACK FOR ANYTHING OVER 10%. SO I DO THINK I NEED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT BETTER ONE OF THIS ONE. >> JUST SO I UNDERSTAND, WE'LL
SEPARATE THE CARRYOVER MONEY CONTRACT FROM THE SACK'S LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO BE PART OF THAT. >> REQUIRED DO THE FULL BUM. >> YES. >> SORRY. >> IS THAT WHAT "B" SAYS OR WAS
THERE MORE THAN JUST WHAT "B" SAYS ON THERE. THE NEW "B." >> IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S THE INTENT. >> I THINK THAT SHOULD BE RED. SO IT IS THE CORRECT WITHIN B.
ALL OF "B" SHOULD BE RED. SORRY. >> YES, DIRECTOR MEEK.
>> I JUST FEEL LICK WE ARE MIXING CARRYOVER CONTENT WITH THE OVERALL SPOPBTZ OF THE ENTIRE BUDGET. SO MAYBE HAVING THOSE SEPARATED. YEAH.
>> YEAH, THANK YOU. >> PERFECT. >> OKAY, SORRY THAT WAS CLUMSY. DFA IS MUCH EASIER. SOLE DFA REALLY A COUPLE OF
LANGUAGE THINGS AND RIVERS TO THE REGULATION, WHICH THERE WAS NO REFERENCE TO IT BEFORE. THAT'S IT.
>> COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, I THINK WE ARE GOOD. >> THAT WAS MUCH EASIER, THANK YOU. D I.D. IS THAT IS CAPITAL AGO SETS REPORTING. WE MADE IT CLEAR THE SUPERINTENDENT IS NOT TRACKING OUR ASSETS, THAT'S ME AND MY GROUP.
SHE HAS OTHER THINGS TO DO. AND SECONDLY, THE UNIFORM GRANTS GUIDANCE IS INCREASING THEIR ASSET LIMIT PER GRANT GUIDANCE FROM 5,000 TO STEP THOUSAND. AND WE WANTED TO STAY CONSISTENT
WITH THAT AND WE ARE A GROWING ORGANIZATION. SO IT FELT RIGHT TO UP THAT THRESHOLD OF WHAT WE LOOK AT TO CAPITALIZE AND TRACK AND APPRECIATE ASSETS FROM 5,000 TO STEP THOUSAND. SO THAT IS THAT REQUEST. AND SECONDLY, THERE IS A NEW
GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD THAT WAS PUT INTO PLACE LAST YEAR WHERE WE HAVE TO CAPITALIZE SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AGREEMENTS. AND IT'S REALLY COMPLEX AND HARD. I WAS REALLY GLAD THAT I HAD A NEW DIRECTOR OF FINANCE TO REALLY DIG INTO THAT.
BUT WE -- THAT THRESHOLD IS MUCH HIGHER BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING HAS THIS TECHNOLOGY COMPONENT. AND WE HAVE A TON OF TECHNOLOGY SUBSCRIPTIONS. AND SO THAT ONE IS ACTUALLY 100,000 INSTEAD OF THE 10,000 TO MAKE IT -- JUST TO MAKE IT
MANAGEABLE. >> ANY COMMENTS ON THAT ONE? DIRECTOR MEEK. >> I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. I AM CURIOUS, THE ANNUAL INVENTORY. OF ALL CAP AL ASSETS. IS THAT HOUSED SOMEWHERE?
I KNOW LRPC HAS ITS SYSTEM I AM CURIOUS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? >> THAT'S A FANTASTIC QUESTION. THAT'S ONE OF THE BEAUTIES OF WORKDAY WHEN WE IMPLEMENTED THT EIGHT, NINE YEARS AGO WE MOVED ALL OF THOSE ASSETS INTO THAT SYSTEM AND WE SENT OUT A REPORT
TO OUR SCHOOLS ANNUALLY AND SAYS HERE IS THE LIST OF OF ALL OF THE ASSETS THAT WE HAVE. PLEASE CONFIRM TO US THOSE ARE THE ASSETS THAT YOU HAVE ON HAND OR WE'LL HELP YOU DISPOSE OR CHANGE WHATEVER THOSE ASSETS LOOK LIKE.
IT'S MUCH EASIER AND IS DONE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. >> GOOD. THANK YOU. >> OKAY. ANNUAL AUDIT.
DIE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> YES. >> I AGREE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> SOME YEARS IT FEELS LIKE THAT. SOME OF THIS IS UPDATING OF
LANGUAGE. SO IT'S NOW CALLED AN UNMODIFIED OPINION INSTEAD OF UNQUALIFIED. WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE SCHOOL FINANCE ACT OF 1994, THAT HAS BEEN UPDATED NOW TO THAT 1448 THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT.
IT WAS DUPLICATIVE WE TALK ABOUT STATE AND FEDERAL LAUREL IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE CALLED OUT SEPARATELY. THE NUMBER 8, CALCULATION OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S FISCAL YEAR SPENDING NORMS WITH THE STATE CONSTITUTION. THAT HAS DO WITH THE TABER AND WE ARE DEBRUISED THAT IS NOT A
REQUIREMENT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. WHIMS IT BECOMES DEBRUISED. SO IT DOESN'T APPLY TO US ANYMORE. SO WE CROSSED THAT OUT. I BELIEVE THAT IS -- WE JUST UPDATED REFERENCES. THAT'S IT ON THAT ONE.
>> DIRECTOR MEEK. >> SO THIS IS JUST A QUESTION. ON NUMBER 5, IT FEELS LIKE A DOUBLE NEGATIVE. IF THE OPINION IS NOT UNMODIFIED, THE -- IS THAT THE RIGHT WAY TO SAY THAT? >> UH-HUH. >> IT IS THE RIGHT WAY? >> YES. >> OKAY.
THANK YOU. >> FINANCIAL SPEAK. >> JUST TO CONFUSE YOU. >> THEN FINALLY, DN.
>> SO THIS ONE IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EQUATION, THIS IS DISPOSAL OF ASSETS. IT WAS CONFUSING TO ME WHEN I READ THIS ONE. IS THERE A RED LINED ONE ALSO? THAT LOOK S LOOKS LIKE A -- IT T
DIDN'T PULL UP. >> THE RED LINE ISN'T THE REDLINE. CAN YOU CLICK ON THE OTHER ONE AND SEE IF IT'S -- IT'S THE
SAME. >> OKAY, LET ME EXPLAIN THIS ONE. SO ON THIS ONE, IT WAS ON THE
NOT -- ON THE ORIGINAL POLICY, IT WAS REALLY HARD TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TALKING ABOUT REAL PROPERTY AND OTHER TYPES OF PROPERTY. WE BROKE IT SOUTH OUGHT INTO TWO DIFFERENT SECTIONS TO FIRST TALK
ABOUT CAPITAL ASSETS IN GENERAL. AND THOSE WERE JUST VERY MINOR EDITS. ON THE FIRST SECTION. TO ADD IN, FORESEEABLE. THAT IS REALLY THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE IS REALLY THE ONLY WORD
THAT GO WE ADDED INTO THE TOP SECTION. ON THE DISPOSITION OF REAL PROPERTY. FOR NUMBER THREE USED TO READ AS A GENERAL RULE ALL SALES SHOULD BE SEALED, BID, OR PUBLIC AUCTION. IF IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE BOARD THE BEST INTEREST OF THE DISTRICT IS SERVED BY WAVING THE
COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENT, THE BOARD MAY REQUIRE THE SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF REAL PROPERTY UPON SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IT SAYS THIS AS A YEP RULE, BUT WE EVERY TIME CAME TO YOU GUYS AND SAID, HEY, CAN WE NOT DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S THE PROCESS IS
NOT COP DEUCE I HAVE TO THE SALE OF OUR TYPE OF PLOT THAT WE HAVE. SO WITH OUR PROPERTY THEY USUALLY HAVE TO BE REOPENED AND A LOT OF THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO THAT PROPERTY BEFORE SOMEONE MONTH IS NOT EDUCATION FACILITY. CAN UTILIZE THAT PROPERTY IN THE WAY RITE WAY AND SO THIS DID NOT
GIVE US THE ABILITY TO VET THOSE POTENTIAL BUYERS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT BOTH WASTING TIME AND MONEY TRYING TO GET THROUGH A PROCESS THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO GET THROUGH SUCCESSFULLY. SO WE WERE STRIKING THAT AND
ADDING REAL PROPERTY SHALL BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE CONVEYED UPON THE BOARD UPON SUCH TERM ASKS CONDITIONS AS IT MAYA PROVE. SO WE SIMPLIFIED IT. >> TO CLARIFY, T FLOSS LEGAL REQUIREMENT IN STATUTE UTAH FOR THIS SEALED BID PROCESS.
SOMEBODY CAME UP WITH THIS A LONG TIME AGO IN A DIFFERENT RECORD, RIGHT? I AM ADDRESSING -- -- THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW FOR A SEALED BID PROCESS. >> BASICALLY ALL THIS DOES IS GIVE US FLEXIBILITY IN HOW
WEAPON TO SALE OUR OPEN PROPERTY. >> CORRECT. IN THE MOST RECENT PAST WE HAVE NOT UTILIZED THE SALE PROCESS THAT I AM AWARE OF. >> DIRECTOR MEEK. >> I AM WONDERING IF WE SHOULD
POSTPONE THIS FIRST READING SINCE IT'S NOT REALLY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC TO VIEW AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK. >> IT'S A FIRST READING, THOUGH, I THINK IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHY THE REDLINE VERSION DIDN'T COME OUT THE WAY IT SHOULD. BUT THE SECOND VERSION, THE CLEAN VERSION IS THE POLICY THAT IS BEING PROPOSED. THE POLICY BEING PRO SEWED. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS. WE ARE HAPPY TO DO WHATEVER.
>> IT ASK IT POSSIBLE TO POST THE RED LINE -- LIKE TONIGHT AND THEN WHEN WE PUSH OUT GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK ON POLICIES MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THAT. >> THANK YOU ARC APOLOGIZE FOR
THAT. >> AWESOME, THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, THANKS. >> ALL RIGHT. >> MOVING TO ITEM 25. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION SELF-HE IS RAISE GOVERNSER PROCESS 1.6 BOARD PRECIPITATION MEDICALS.
I WENT AHEAD AND DID THIS. I, HOWEVER, DID NOT SEE THAT WE DID THIS IN A PREVIOUS LIFE SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER. SO I DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER SELF-EVALUATION TO GO OFF OF I STARTED IT FROM THE FIRST OF
LAST YEAR. AND MOVED IT TO NOW. SO FROM 24 UNTIL NOW. HE ACCEPT SLAM I I FIND US COMPLAINT AND THE THINGS I USED
TO SO THAT WERE OUR RESOLUTIONS FOR OUR COMMITTEE PRIORITIES. FOR BOTH THE SAG AND THEN THE PRIORITIES FOR THE OTHER BOARD COMMITTEES BECAUSE I THINK WE DID THEN SEPARATELY FOR WHATEVER REASON.
BY LAWS FOR SAG, DAC BEING AND OTHER COMMITTEE BYLAWS TO SO THAT WE HAVE BEEN REVIEWING AND DOING THOSE AND THEY ARE UP-TO-DATE.
GO AHEAD. >> YEAH, I GUESS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WITH BOARD COMMITTEES IS MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT GIVING DIRECTION TO STAFF AND THE SUPERINTENDENT. I KIND OF WONDER IF IT'S HELPFUL TO GET EVIDENCE IN THAT ARENA.
>> SURE. >> TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMITTEES ARE, YOU KNOW, OPERATING AS WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO, ESPECIALLY UNDER 1.6.2.
>> I CAN DO THAT. DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >>> LIKE OUR STAFF LEAD AT EACH COMMITTEE RESPONDING WITH A LETTER? >> SO I'LL PROBABLY SEND A LETTER TO SUPERINTENDENT KANE AND THEN YOU CAN DISPERSE THAT, I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE
EASIEST WAY FOR ME TO DO THAT. >> DIRECTOR MEEK. >> I KIND OF LIKED HOW DIRECTOR WINEGAR DID HERS WHERE EVER STATEMENT WITH A COME LINES OR A
STATEMENT. >> REFERS TO THE EVIDENCE OF WHAT IS AVAILABLE OR NOT. 1.6.1 A COMMITTEE IS ABOARD COMMITTEE ONLY IF ITS CHARGE COME FROM THE BOARD. IS IT EVERYTHING WORTH MENTIONING WHAT THE BOARD
COMMITTEE ARE WITHIN THE POLICY. >> AND I THOUGHT ABOUT LINKING TO THE WEBSITE TO EACH ONE OF THEIR PAGES TOO, I CAN GO BACK AND DO THAT. BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE THE WAY THAT DIRECTOR WINEGAR DOES IT, BUT
I -- SHE'S GREEN. I AM HAPPY TO GO BACK AND FIX THAT AND GIVE EVIDENCE TO EACH ONE OR AT LEAST MAKE STATEMENT AND I WILL GET EVIDENCE IN REGARDS TO NOT GIVING STAFF ANY
DIRECTION. >> THANK YOU. I THINK WHAT YOU DO LIST FITS WITHIN 1.6.8 LIKE THE LAST ITEM. I JUST KNOW WITH BOARD COMMITTEES ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHARGE SESSION MAKING SURE THAT
THEY HAVE CLARITY AND GET THE LIAISON, THE STAFF LIAISON TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE FEELING LIKE IT'S WORK BEING WELL. THAT BE HELPFUL TO KNOW AND THANK FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. >> AWESOME.
I WILL MAKE THOSE CHANGES AND HAVE IT READY FOR OUR NEXT MEETING. MOVING ONTO ITEM NUMBER 26, THE SECOND QUARTER BUMMING IT'S ABOUT, -- BOARD BUM THE REVIEW.
SO DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> SO THIS ACTUALLY PAIRS UP WITH THE SECOND QUARTER FINANCIALS WHICH WAS ON OUR CONCEPTS AGENDA AT OUR LAST MEETING AND SO YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SEE THE UPDATES OR THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD. MOSTLY RECENTLY ABOUT THE BOARD
BUDGET REFLECTED IN THIS SPEAK SPECIFIC ONE. I KNOW WE SPOKE ABOUT IT RECENTLY. BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW NATURAL ELECTION FEES ARE GOING TO COME IN LOWER AND WE HAD HAD THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW WE WANTED TO REALITY
INDICATE THOSE FUNDS. JUST AN UPDATE ON NEXT YEAR'S BOX HE HAD. IT WAS PRESENTED ALREADY. YOU KNOW, WHAT IS MIGHT LOOK LIKE FOR NEXT YEAR FOR THE BOARD BULLET SO THAT PRELIMINARY NUMBERS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED AND THEN WE'LL REVIEW IT AGAIN I
THINK IT'S MAY. IF I AM RIGHTFULLY THINK IT'S MAY. EVERYONE LOOKS AT ME. [ LAUGHTER ] >> JUST GIVE ME A NOD. >> AWESOME. WE WILL MOVE THEN TO DISCUSSION
ON POLICY J.HCE, MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. I ADDED TO THIS THE AGENDA BASED UPON AN EMAIL THAT WE RECEIVED AND WANTED TO OPEN A DISCUSSION FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT AND SEE IF THERE IS
INTEREST IN MAKING ANY POLICY CHANGES AND I DON'T KNOW, I KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY SENSITIVE TOPIC, SO I AM NOT SURE THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT IT. BUT WANTED TO BRING IT UP SO THAT WE COULD ALL TALK ABOUT IT. DIRECTOR MOORE. >> AND I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY
GOING TO BE A NEED FOR SOME LEGAL ADVICE ON THIS ONE, SO I WILL TRY NOT TO DELVE INTO AREAS THAT ARE NOT MY LANE. AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE SENSITIVE NATURE OF THIS. AND I, FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE
EMAIL THAT WE RECEIVED BACK IN JANUARY FROM A PARENT ABOUT THIS ISSUE REALLY RESONATED WITH ME. AND I GET THAT IT -- THAT DEPENDING ON YOUR RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS, PERSONAL FEELINGS,
YOU ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS TOPIC DIFFERENTLY THAN I MAY. AND I RESPECT EVERYBODY'S POSITION ON THIS. BUT THE PARENT RAISED THE ISSUE OF THEY HAVE A CHILD WITH SOME SIGNIFICANT MEDICAL ISSUES.
AND THEY, AFTER A LOT OF DELIBERATION, WORKED WITH THEIR DOCK TO ARE AND CAME IT A CONCLUSION THAT THE BEST THING FOR THEM TO DO FOR THEIR CHILD FOX, THEIR FAMILY, WAS TO HAVE A DO NOT RESUSCITATE ORDER IN
PLACE FOR THE CHILD. AND I BELIEVE THE CHILD IS' ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT IF I AM NOT MISTAKE OPEN AGE AND I DON'T REMEMBER. AND IT BROUGHT TO THE FOREFRONT THAT ACCORDING TO THE EMAIL THAT HEY, WE APPRECIATE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WORKING WITH US ON
THIS. AND THE SCHOOL THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED A COPY OF THIS PARTICULAR DOCUMENT. BUT THAT OUR POLICY DOESN'T ALLOW THE SCHOOL STAFF TO FOLLOW
THE DO NOT RESUSCITATE ORDER THINK AND I BELIEVE COLORADO STATUTE CALLS IT A CPR ORDER NOT NECESSARILY A DNR ORDER. BUT L BY AND LARGE THE CONCEPT S THE SAME THING. THE PARENTS WERE PROVIDED WITH THE COPY OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
POLICY AND SAID WE WILL PROVIDE YOUR DNR TO THE FIRST RESPONDERS, WHEN THEY ARRIVE. BUT OUR POLICY IS THAT WE NOTIFY FIRST RESPONDERS REGARDLESS OF THE DNR ORDER IN PLACE WE NOTIFY THEM AND THEN THE TRAINED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ARE THE ONES STATUTORILY OBLIGATED TO
FOLLOW THAT ACCORDING TO CARDINAL LAW. AND ALL THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE TO ME. THE KWAUFPBD ARE YOU AND THE QUESTION WAS, IS THERE ANY OTHEN
TO COMPLY WITH THE MEDICAL REQUEST OF THE FAMILY WITHOUT WAITING FOR FIRST RESPONDERS TO ARRIVE ON SCENE TO THEN KIND OF
PASS THE TORCH TO THEM TO DECIDE HOW TO COMPLY WITH THAT. AND I GUESS THAT IT'S VERY COMPLICATED AND IT PUTS DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL STAFF IN A TOUGH SITUATION, ESPECIALLY -- THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO REALLY KNOWS ABOUT THE ORDER AND WHO DOESN'T. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE SITUATIONS EXIST, SO I GET THAT THESE ARE VERY SENSITIVE AND WHO KNOWS MAYBE A CHALLENGE.
ONE OF THE OPTIONS OR -- YEAH, OPTIONS PRESENTED BY THE FAMILY WAS THAT COULD THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AMOUNT ITS POLICY TO AT LEAST ALLOW THE SCHOOL NURSE OR THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL IF THE
SCHOOL HAS ONE TO BE ALLOWED TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER PRY TO FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVING. AND THAT DIDN'T SEMEN REASONABLE TO ME BUT I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER
LEGAL AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS TO GO ALONG WITH THAT. I WANT TO KNOW IF OUR POLICY IS THE RIGHT WAY TO HANDLE THESE.
THEY ARE IMPORTANT FOR THE FAMILIES THAT GO TO GREAT LENGTHS TO DO THIS. >> THAT'S NIGH 2 CENTS. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A DRAFTED VERSION FROM STAFF TO UPDATE THIS POLICY.
I -- YOU KNOW, STATE LAW MENTIONS THAT A DO NOT RESUSCITATE ORDER NEEDS TO BE FOLLOWED BY MEDICAL PERSONNEL AND TO ME, YOU KNOW, IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD CAUSE HARM TO IMPLEMENT LIFE SAVING PROCESSES
ONLY FOR IT TO STOP AS SOON AS LIKE AN AMBULANCE SHOWS UP. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW TRAUMATIC THAT WOULD BE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. I AM WORRIED THE WAY IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN WOULD CAUSE HARM. ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS HARM IT'S CAUSING THIS FAMILY TO HAVE TO
REVISIT AND FIGHT FOR THIS. SO WHEN IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY WORKED OUT WITH THEIR PHYSICAL PROFESSIONALS AND HAD TO MAKE THIS HARD DECISION AS A FAMILY. THAT'S WHERE I AM AT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A DRAFT REVISION FROM STAFF. >> DIRECTOR GOING IRRELEVANT.
>> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU. I THINK THIS IS HOW WE RESPOND TO PARENTS AND I APPRECIATE YOU PUTTING THIS ON THE AGENDA. I THANK YOU FOR THAT. I AGREE THIS HAS TO BE RUN PAST STAFF AND COU COUNSEL AND PROBAY INSURANCE REMEMBER IT'S NOT
HYPOTHETICAL. LAST MEETING WE HONORED PEOPLE MONTH SAVED A LIFE. RAN AND GOT THE PULMONARY RESUSCITATION. PROVIDED CPR. WE ARE TRAINING OUR PEOPLE TO SAVE LIVES. AND THEN THERE IS NO WAY FOR US
TO KNOW IN IF THAT CHILD MIGHT HAVE HAD A DNR. SO THESE ARE NOT THE FUN PARTS OF BEING ON HERE, BECAUSE WE ARE PARSING VERY COMPLICATED THINGS. PARENTAL ABILITY, PARENT THE DECISIONS ARE VITAL ON THIS. I HAVE A DNR I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT. HOW WE LET OUR STAFF DECIDE -- HOW WE TELL OUR STAFF AND HANDLE THAT, I THINK REQUIRES A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS. I THINK THESE POTENTIAL POLICIES ARE ACTUALLY A VERY GOOD START. I APPRECIATE IT. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN MAY, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING
ELSE IN APRIL. SOME FURTHER ANALYSIS FROM COUNSEL, PERHAPS A DISCUSSION. I DON'T KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE IS A COLORADO LAW ON LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE DNR. OR IF THERE IS A SAFE HALF FEN WE COMPLY WITH THE DNR. SO IT SEEMS TO ME THE THEY
ELECTED A LAWYER TO THE BOARD SO I WILL THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT I SUSPECT THAT THE LAW SAYS IF YOU COMPLY WITH THE DNR IN GOOD FAITH THERE IS NO LIABILITY. BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT. AND I THINK THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO. SO THAT'S THE NEXT STEP TO LOOK
AT THIS, I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT THIS, AND AGAIN, I APPRECIATE DIRECTOR WILLIAMS YOU PUT THIS IS ON THE AGENDA, AND DISCUSSING IT. >> I, TOO, WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE ONE OR EVEN TWO OPTIONS, LIKE JUST BUT I ALSO RECOGNIZE
THAT MAY -- I WANT TO ASK -- BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT COMING UP, IS MAY TOO SOON? >> YEAH. >> IF IT IS, IS JUNE MORE REALISTIC. I I WANT TO SNAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE STAFF ENOUGH TIME. >> I MEANT MAY AT THE EARLIEST. >> OKAY. >> YEAH.
IT'S URGENT BUT NOT EMERGENT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. A FEW THINGS. IF IT IS THE CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD THAT YOU WANT TO SO A CHANGE TO THE FOR HIM IS AS AND WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED STAFF IS
HAPPY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE CROSSED OUR "F"s AND DOTTED OURS "I"s AND DRAFT SOME KIND OF LANGUAGE. I WANT TO POINT OUT THESE ARE TECHNICALLY SUPERINTENDENT FILES THINK WHEN WE COME BACK IN JUNE,
IT'S IMPORTANT TO TALK OVER WITH THE BOARD. WHEN WE COME BACK IN JUNE WE WOULD BRING RED LINES FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. AND THEN WE CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE. SINCE OUR SUPERINTENDENT FILES. THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDED
APPROACH. >> GREAT. DIRECTOR MOORE ANYTHING SMELLS. >> THE CLARIFICATION, IT APPEARS FROM LOOKING AT THIS REAL QUICKLY, THAT GENERALLY THIS IS MOSTLY COVERED IN TITLE 15. EMERGENCY UNTIL SERVICE PERSONNEL ARE THE ONES WHO
ULTIMATELY ARE REQUIRED BY THAT STATUTE TO FOLLOW THE CPR. ORDER OR DIRECTIVE AS THEY CALL IT. BUT THE STATUTE ALSO DISCUSSES PROXIES. AND I COULDN'T REALLY QUICKLY
FIND WHOLE THAT NECESSARILY APPLIED TO. SO IF THAT WAS A HELPFUL AVENUE, FOR US TO BE PROTECTED. IF WE MADE A CHANGE I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. SO, THANKS. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON.
>> SO I KNOW WE SAW SOME EXAMPLES FROM OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ONE OF THEM LOOKED AT DECISIONS BEING MADE AT THE BUILDING LEVEL. >> Reporter: SO IF THAT IS A CONSIDERATION, WITH WHATEVER GETS BROUGHT BACK, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. LIKE THE PRACTICE PROS AND CONS
OF SOMETHING BEING LIKE THAT VERSUS A STANDARD THIS IS WHAT OUR POLICY S I KNOW THAT WE SAW TWO EXAMPLES. OF WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS DO. >> THERE IS CURRENTLY A HOUSE
BILL ON THE FLOOR KIND OF RELATED TO THIS. IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH WHO IS ALLOWED TO MAKE DECISIONS TO START A DNR PROCESS BUT THERE IS CURRENT LIMBING SOLUTION THAT DELVES INTO THIS.
BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S RELATED TO THE POINTS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE HERE. >> ALL RIGHT. MOVE TO BOARD OF EDUCATION
REPORTS. OUR NEXT MEETING OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IS APRIL 8TH. OUR AGENDA PLANNING FOR THAT MEETING IS THURSDAY MARCH 6th AT 10:30 HERE AT WILCOX. OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS, I HAVE VISITED SEVERAL SCHOOLS WITH
DIRECTOR MYERS. IN HIGHLANDS RAP OF AND THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD VISITS. A FEW THINGS I HAVE TAKEN AWAY IS NUMBER ONE, EVERYONE IS VERY PLEASED WITH THE COMMUNICATION THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH OUR SCHOOLS. THEY FEEL VERY SUPPORTED. AND THEY ARE APPRECIATIVE OF ALL
OF THE WORK THAT THE DISTRICT IS DOING AROUND THIS. SO THANK YOU. THE TWO -- THE TWO BIGGEST THINGS THAT I HEARD AND I HOPE THAT WHEN THIS IS ALL SAID AND DONE WE SIT TOWN AND HAVE DIPPED OF A TALK ABOUT LESSONS LEARNED
AND WHAT WE WOULD DO DIFFERENT LIVE NEXT TIME. BUT ONE OF THE ONES -- OBVIOUSLY, IT'S THE SIXTH GRADE TALK IS REALLY BIG. THAT'S AT ALL THE SCHOOLS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH SIXTH GRADE? AND THEN -- BUT THE ONE THING
THAT I THINK THAT I HEARD A LOT THIS TIME WAS THAT THEY WISH THEY WOULD HAVE KNOWN IN JANUARY, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE HELPED THEM FOR BUDGETING PURPOSES. AND ALSO HIRING IN MARCH AS THAT OPENS I BELIEVE THIS WEEK, I HAPPENING THAT IS JUST FEEDBACK
THAT I HEARD. BUT EVERYTHING IS SUPER POSITIVE AND EVERYONE FEELS VERY GRATEFUL. AND THEN, THE OTHER THING, SO I WENT TO THE LIBRARY YESTERDAY, FOR AN EDGE BE GAMING.
SESSION WITH OUR NOT KIDS NOT YET IN THE DISTRICT. AND UNFORTUNATELY, NOBODY CAME. SO I -- AND I THINK THAT THAT ALSO HAPPENED WITH ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT. I KNOW WE HAVE DONE A TON OF WORK SO COMMUNICATIONS THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE AROUND THIS AND SENDING EVERYTHING OUT. AND I KNOW I TALKED TO DIANE
YESTERDAY AND SHE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET IT OUT. IT'S NOT A LACK OF EFFORT OF TRYING. BUT I AM WONDERING SINCE WE DID RECEIVE SOME FEEDBACK ASKING FOR AN EVENING SESSION THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR MAYBE A VIRTUAL CHAT WITH
SOME OF OUR PRESCHOOLERS. IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED IN THAT I AM JUST THROWING IT OUT THEM WE DON'T NEED TO DECIDE RIGHT NOW. SO THAT IS ALL I HAVE. DIRECTOR WINEGAR.
>> YEAH, SO I HAD AN FOC MEETING WHERE THEY GOT A PRESENTATION FROM RAY McNUTT AT THIS WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND FILLED OUT ONE OF THE HANDWRITTEN NOTEBOOKS THAT HE PASSED OUT
SIMILAR FEEDBACK TO WHAT HE SHARED TODAY. WE WENT OVER THE FISCAL POLICIES THAT MISS -- I SAY IT MY NBA MY HEAD DIRECTLY PRESENTED ON. AND YOU DID GREAT ON RECEIVING FEEDBACK FROM HIM THEM.
I WAS ABLE TO FOLLOW THE REDLINE THAT WAS MISSING AND SHE COVERED EVERYTHING PERFECTLY. AND ALSO ABOUT, YOU YEAH, WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE THE LEGISLATOR WITH SCHOOL FINANCE. WAS DISCUSSED. AND OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE AGREED
THAT IF WE ARE SHORTFALLED FROM THE DOING END ROLE. BY ACTUALS THAT WOULD NOT BE A GOOD THING. I WERE AND ANXIOUS TO SEE MORE TO COME THERE. I ALSO VISITED A COUPLE OF
SCHOOLS IN HIGHLANDS RAP OF AND SAME THING, THEY AGREED THAT THE COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN GREAT AND THEIR FEEDBACK HAS BEEN WELL RECEIVED. AND I DO APPRECIATE VISITING THESE SCHOOLS, BUT IT BUS 'CUZ REALLY SHOW THAT THEY HAVE THEIR
OWN WONDERFUL COMMUNITIES AND HOW THIS WILL REALLY BE AN EMOTIONAL EFFECT ON THE SCHOOLS AND I THINK OUR STAFF IS DOING A GREAT JOB ON TAKING THAT INTO ACCOUNT AND BEING BEING SENSE AT THIS AROUND THAT AND TRYING TO DO THE BEST THEY CAN. AND I THINK OUR SCHOOLS FEEL THAT TOO.
LOOKING FORWARD, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING TO A LIBRARY ENGAGEMENT WHERE HOPEFULLY SOMEONE COMES THIS TIME. APPLE AWARDS ON THE 29th. LOOKING FOREWARD TO SEEING
EVERYONE THERE. AND I HOPE I COVERED EVERYTHING. OH, ONE MORE THING, SORRY. I DID GO TO THE PARKER STATE OF THE TOWN AND SAW OUR LEGEND PRINCIPAL JASON JACOB RECEIVE THE IMPACT AWARD THAT SUPERINTENDENT KANE MISSIONED EARLIER.
AND WAS VERY PROUD OF HIM. HE IS RETIRING THIS YEAR, SO IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE MAIN YEARS THAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT OUR STUDENTS IN PARKER AND WAS THE PRECIPITATION PALATE LEGEND, HE OPENED LEGEND THERE. AND HE -- I SPOKE TO HIM LATER
AND HE TOLD ME HE ACTUALLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS GETTING THE AWARD AND DIDN'T PREPARE ANYTHING SO HE SPOKE FROM THE HEART AND DID I GREAT JOB AND THANKED HIS WIFE AND THAT WAS REALLY KIND OF HIM AND HE IS JUST GREAT FAMILY MAN AND I THINK HE WILL BE MUCH MISSED
THIS THERE. OR NEXT YEAR. >> DIRECTOR MEEK. >> GREAT. I THINK I SAID THIS EARLIER I HEARD THE STRATEGIC CONSULTANTS CONDUCT FOCUS GROUPS AND THOSE
HAVE BEEN REALLY INTERESTING AND HELPFUL TO HEAR THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WEIGH IN ON. I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SCHOOL VISITS AS WELL WITH THE SACS AND THIS IS BUDGET PLANNING TIME AND SO WOL -- PRESIDENT WILLIAMS WAS
SAYING AROUND THE STRESS AROUND THOSE BU BUM BUDGET DECISIONS GETTING THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE MONEY TO KEEP THEM WHOL.
IF OPPORTUNITIESES UNROAM WE WILL KEEP THEM MOST IT'S IMPORTANT TO HEAR THAT. LET'S SEE. SO WITH THE STUDENT SAT SAD RASADADVISORY GROUP. IT'S BEEN VERY BILLS I I FEEL
LIKE THERE IS A LOT TO REPORT IF I FORGET ANYTHING DIRECTOR MYERS CAN JUMP IN. WE ATTENDED THE CASBY DAY AT THE CAPITAL IN IF AND HE CAN SOME MAYBE FOUR PARENTS JOIN US AS WELL.
IT WAS A REALLY REMARK GROUP. >> ONE OF THE TAINT PAYERSES HE SAID I THINK I WANT TO RUN AND BE IN THE LOYAL LIMBING SHE TIRE YOU GO AHEAD YOU SHOULD COME AND TELL THAT STORY MAYBE HE WILL TELL IT IN THE FUTURE.

MEETING. LET'S SEE. WHAT ELSE? GIRLS AND WOMEN IN SPORTS LUNCHEON WAS ON VALENTINE'S DAY. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE MET SINCE THAT HAPPENED. DID WE?
YEAH. SUCH AN AMAZING EVENT. SO WONDERFUL TO SEE HOW WE HONOR STUDENTS AND IT STARTED OFF WITH HIGH SCHOOL. NOW IT'S MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.
AND MS. HYATT WAS SAYING THEY ARE AMAZED WHEN THEY SEE HOW WE CELEBRATE THE STUDENTS WHEN CHASAS COMES AND HONESTLY THE FAMILIES ARE CELEBRATED AS WELL. SO THAT WAS A FANTASTIC EVENT AS WELL. AND I KNOW WE HAD TALKED ABOUT
UPDATING THE STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP BYLAWS BUT I THINK WE FINALLY REALIZED WE DON'T NEED TO BECAUSE THE CHANGES ALL SHOULD BE IN THE HANDBOOK MOVING FORWARD. SO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP ON THAT.
I THINK THAT'S IT FOR ME. >> DIRECTOR THOMPSON. >> SO I -- DIRECTOR WINEGAR GAVE AN UPDATE ON FOC I WAS ILL SO I WASN'T ABLE TO ATTENDS. BUT DO I HAVE SOME UPCOMING

I ALSO WENT TO THE GIRL'S AND WOMEN'S SPORTS AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MR. BRAD WIT CUSS BECAUSE HE CAN HANDLE THE MICROPHONE QUITE WELL. HE'S QUITE THE EMCEE I HAVE TO
GO BACK AND REMINDS HIM HOW OLD HE IS BECAUSE HE HAD MY DAUGHTER IN FIRST YEAR AT CASTLE ROCK MIDDLE SCHOOL WHEN HE WAS A BRAND-NEW TEACHER. SO I WANT HIM TO REMAIN HUMBLE. YOU KNOW, SO HE KNOWS -- BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER IS NOW 40. [ LAUGHTER ] >> I DO A LOT WITH HIM.
HE IS GREAT. WHICH I UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU SEE HIM AT THE MIC, WHY HE WAS SO LOVED AS A TEACHER AT -- YOU KNOW HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE GUYS. LETS SEE. I WENT TO 221, I WAS SUPPOSED TO
GO TO A D.C. CF RETREAT. WE HAVE POSTPONED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A SNOW DAY. WE POST POPPED THAT UNTIL MARCH 21 OF THEst. I DID A END IT A DCYI LUNCH AND LEARN, LEARN ABOUT DEVELOPMENT THE PATHWAYS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY.
AND JUST HOW WE WORK SO WELL WILL A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITY PEOPLE AND REFERENCING BACK AND FORTH. AND YOU KNOW, THEY JUST WORK SO WELL, DR. STEPHANIE CRAWFORD. ALL OF OUR PEOPLE IN HER AND I ARE ON THAT DCYI TOGETHER.
LET'S SEE. YES, PRESIDENT WILLIAMS AND I HAVE ATTENDED I THINK IT'S FIVE SCHOOLS NOW. WELL DO THREE MORE TOMORROW. WHAT REALLY RESONATESES WITH MY IS THE FANTASTIC STAFF.
ADMINISTRATION. AND EDUCATORS. AND MEETING ESPECIALLY THOSE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. YOU KNOW, I WAS A MIDDLE SCHOOL. BUT THOSE ELEMENTARY SKIDS ARE JUST WARMING YOUR HEART. WHEN YOU WALK IN THE HA HALLS AD THEY THINK IT'S SPECIAL AND THEY
LOOK AT WHEN YOU COME INTO A SCHOOL AND CERTAINLY DON'T MIND TELLING YOU THINGS AND TALKING TO YOU, SO THESE ARE GREAT EXPERIENCES BUT WE JUST NEED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR ADMINISTRATORS AND OUR TEACHERS FOR DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB FOR TRANSITIONING. OUR KIDS.
AND I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS BRIEF. ONE OFS THAT PRESIDENT WILLIAMSD I WENT TO AND I TOLD HIM A STORY ABOUT THIRD GREAT AND FIRST GRADE, WE LIVED IN TEXAS, WE MOVED QUITE A BIT BECAUSE OF MY
HUSBAND'S JOB AND I SO I WENT IN CRYING TO MY DAUGHTER'S FIRST GRADE TEACHER. BECAUSE WE HAD TO MOVE AGAIN. AND WE WERE MOVING FROM TEXAS TO CALIFORNIA. FOR ANOTHER LITTLE JOB TRANSFER AND I JUST SAID I DON'T KNOW HOW
MY KIDS, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO DO AND SHE WAS THE FIRST GRADE TEACHER YOU WANT ALL OF YOUR KIDS TO HAVE. SHE GO AHEAD YOU SET THE ATTITUDE FOR YOUR FAMILY AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT MAKES THE MUCH.
I CAN TELL YOU WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR KIDS WILL BE RESILIENT AND FLEXIBLE AND ADAPT AND SO THANK CHANGE NOT A BAD THING AND IT WILL NOT BE IN THIS DISTRICT EITHER. BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE ALL OF THIS SUCCESS. AND SO JUST THANK YOU.
>> DIRECTOR GEIGER. >> THANK YOU, I HAVE BEEN DOING MY BOARD UPDATES SO I HOPE YOU HAVE READ THEM. BEEN TO THREE ADDITIONAL SACK PARENT MEETINGS FROM THE PARENTS I AM GETTING SIMILAR STUFF. PARTICULARLY A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS
WERE VERY UP-TO-DATE AND VERY UNDERSTANDING. AND VERY CLEAR ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS. AND SO I THINK WE ARE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE TO THE POINT THAT I BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTING THAT COOL PAIRINGS WILL HAPPEN
AND NOW THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW IT WILL WORK AND IMPACT THEM AND THAT'S IMPORTANT. THE EAGLE RIM WORLD CULTURE NIGHT WAS A KICK. PROBABLY HAD 150 PEOPLE IN THERE. KIDS RUNNING AROUND AND KIDS IN
VARIOUS CULTURAL WAS KO*S TOOLS AND REALLY GOOD FOOD IF YOU GO BACK TO THAT NEXT YEAR DON'T OWED BEFORE YOU GO THERE WAS EVERYTHING FROM BRITISH TREACLE PIE TO MINOSOS TO INDIAN FOOD TO PARISIAN FOOD ACCOUNT THE NAME I CAN'T RECALL THAT WAS A JOY.
BRIEF LEGISLATIVE UPDATE. ITEMS 1-8 ARE THE BULLET THAT'S EATING UP EVERYBODY'S TIME. IT'S ALSO EATING UP GOOD BILLS LIKE REPRESENTATIVE MARSHALL'S TAX EXCEPTION FOR TEACHERS
BECAUSE IN GOES FOR APPROPRIATION IT DIES, THERE IS JUST NO MONEY FOR GOOD STUFF. THINGS THAT MIGHT AFFECT US. A BILL FLOWING THROUGH ABOUT CELLPHONE POLICIES THAT SAYS HAVE A CELL PHONE POLICY. FEELS A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT
ABOUT THIS STUFF BUT IT FEELS MORE GOODWILL. ON REPRESENTATIVE HAM RICK'S DYSLEXIA SCREENING BILL THINK. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAD A STRONG MEETING WITH OUR PEOPLE. THERE TO HELP HER WITH THAT LEGISLATION, NOT DRAFTED YET OR
NOT INTRODUCED YET. IT'S NOT DRAFT PROCESS WE ARE HAVING A LOT OF GOOD SAY ON THAT. LET'S SEE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF RESTRAINT BILLS WANDERING THROUGH WE ARE
SUPPORTERRING THE ONE MORE CONSISTENT WITH OUR POLICIES. REPRESENTATIVE HAM RICK HAS A BILL WHERE THE DEPARTMENT OF CAGE EDUCATION WILL DRAFT INFORMATION PARTICULARLY ABOUT GAP SAFETY AND SAFE STORAGE.
THAT WILL THEN COME DOWN TO THE DISTRICTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED. I HAVE TALKED TO DIRECTOR -- OR TO SUPERINTENDENT ON THAT. THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD WAY FOR US TO ALSO PARTNER WITH A LOT OF OUR LAW END FORCE THINK. LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ON THOSE
KEY ISSUES. THAT'S ABOUT ALL I'VE GOT FROM THE LEGISLATURE, I GET WEEKLY UPDATES AND I APPRECIATE STAFF ALISON DOING A GREAT JOB AND HER PATIENCE WITH ME ON THAT. JUST REPEATING PEOPLE, ARE --
THE OTHER THING I AM SEEING ON THE NOT GOING TO TKPWRO* HE HAD AND DECLINE IS EXACTLY LAW MENTIONED, SIXTH GREAT. GENERALLY THE PERCEPTION I AM
GETTING IS DO IT. AND DO IT WHIP TIME. >> ALL OR NOTHING. >> YOU ARE GETTING THE SAME THING. I KNOW THAT'S PART OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN DISCUSSION AS WELL. I WAS EXCITED TO SEE IT CEMENT OUR PEOPLE -- OUR COMMUNITIES ARE JO DOING THAT WELL.
A LOTTED OF WORK TO DO IN HIGH LAPS RANCH BUT PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTING IT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN THAT ANNOUNCEMENT IS GOING TO BE MADE. I HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM WITH THE EMAILS I WILL BE IN OPENING LANDS. SO I WILL BE SEVEN HOURS BEHIND AHEAD OF EVERYTHING AND HOW THAT
WORKS. I WANT TO TELL ONCE AGAIN, STAFF HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB PUTTING THE INFORMATION OUT THERE TALKING TO PEOPLE, I HAVE BEEN SO SO MANY MEETINGS. PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THIS PROCESS. KNOW HAD ABOUT THIS PROCESS AND
THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE IF STAFF HAD NOT WORKED HARD FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. AND OF COURSE, THE BOARD HAS DONE THEIR PORTION OF IT AS WELLING. SO THANK YOU. >> DIRECTOR MOORE. >> THE GIRLS AND WOMEN IN SPORTS LUNCHEON WAS FABULOUS.
AS MENTIONED BY A FEW OF YOU. IT WAS FUN. IT WAS IMPRESSIVE. WHAT THESE ATHLETES DO. AND WHAT MOST IMPRESSED ME WAS HOW GOOD THEY ARE AT BEING
STUDENTS BEFORE THEY ARE ATHLETES. AND THAT WAS REALLY HIGHLIGHTED IN A LOT OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY THESE YOUNG LADIES THINK SO VERY IMPRESSIVE. DIRECTOR GEIGER AND I AND SUPERINTENDENT KANE, WE HAD OUR
PRE-K COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETING LAST WEEK, WENT REALLY WELL. WAS NOT WELL ATTENDED. UNFORTUNATELY. WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE PEOPLE COME TALK TO US. BUT I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT TO GET THE WORD OUT AND FOR EVERYBODY SHOWING UP. AND HAD WE HAD PEOPLE COME,
WOULD HAVE GONE EVEN BETTER. SAFETY AND SECURITY MEETING TOMORROW. WITH DIRECTOR THOMPSON AND LRPC MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT. AND I THINK DIRECTOR THOMPSON AND I ARE -- WE HAVE SCHOOL VISITS ON FRIDAY.
SO BUSY WEEK. BUT -- OR REST OF THE WEEK SO TO SPEAK BUT I CAN'T OUTDO ANY OF YOU WITH YOUR EFFORT LATELY. SO THAT'S ALL I GOT. >> EVERYONE PLEASE ENJOY YOUR SPRING BREAK. WITH THAT I WILL TAKE A MOTION
REGARDING A A JOURNAL. >> SO MOVED. >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND,. >> THIRD,. >> WOW, OKAY. MOTION BY GEIGER, SECOND BY WINEGAR, GUY,ER. >> AYE. >> MEEK. >> AYE. >> MUHAJER. >> AYE. >> MYERS. >> AYE. >> THOMPSON, WILLIAMS, ARIZONA,
