All right. Call to order. And we'll start with the pledge of allegiance. Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all. All right. 3.0 is roll call of all school board members and everyone is present except for Hanks. Did I say president? Everybody is present except for Hang Slavven. Uh, we also have a student rep which we'll get into in a
minute, but 4.0 is approving the agenda. So, I'll move to approve. I'll second. Okay. Any questions or discussion on the agenda? Okay. All those in favor of approving the agenda say I. I. Any opposed? Motion carries. 5.0 is
communication reports. We'll start with enrollment update. Um, we looked at the enrollment update. I wish I had that news. Yeah. If you recall, We were up about 30 students uh last month. When we got to the 15 days out, meaning after 15 days,
kids have been 12, 11, September, a good chunk of kids weren't shown. So, I mean, I I I just went through it's a quick number. Seniors technically down six, down three, and we're up one. Ninth grade is
flat. Eighth grade, and again, this is not out there. It's val eight from what was on there before. And again, majority we know where they went. Um and um things like that. Uh seventh is flat, six is down three. We're up one and
fifth, down two and fourth, down one, down three, down three, down three. Um and then the home school numbers are up about 12. So all in all, it comes out um about I think it's 30 different
Um, the ones now that I apologize for not having my mic on for the ones there's only I have to turn in a report actually to the county. There's actually only two kids that we don't know where completely went. Meaning we didn't get requests for records to
transfer or whatever. Um, and uh there there were four, but two they had a verbal. We just haven't seen it. So, it's it's not that where are 20 kids, it's it's they're gone. They've they've left. They've moved. Not many just going from here. I'm saying to Fiser. I mean,
we're talking move, you know. Um and then there's there's two that have actually dropped out, so to speak, you know. Um and so the countyy's working on one of them because it's a 15year-old kid. The 18-year-old is is done, you know, unless something changes. So
anyway, that being what it is, um I would say we actually lost compared to where we were. We're two kids up from where we ended last year, but if you recall, your graduating class was small last year. So we were, you know, guessing we would be up 15, 20, you know, and we're not at
this point. So, okay. Any questions on enrollment? Carlo for finance. Good evening. All right. I love when I get to come up here and say not much has changed from last month, but last month but really nothing has really changed much from
last month. Um, we're going to jump down since we're pretty even on the first two sections. We're going to jump down to the expenditures program. Um, general fund expenditures private program. Um, I wanted to point out our special education is up a little bit over last
year and that's generally right now because we're spending some of our MA dollars that we've gotten that are sitting out there. So, that's increasing our percentage used. And then our instructional support that is um where like the new bus we bought sits along
with the new SUV and um our Chromebooks and staff devices. So those are the two points that are kind of glaring that look a little bit more from last year. Any questions on that page? All righty. And then going on to page
two of the board report. Um just a note for food service is that the revenue kind of shows at 2% right now. And that's just because our claims are delayed by a month. So they'll be actually showed up today. So they'll show up in October's um board report.
Any questions there? All right. And then last not but not least, the treasur's report. Um we're down a little bit in our cash position. Um but we'll just continue to watch um the trend and and hopefully swing it back the other way.
So that's about all I had. Thank you. Any questions for Carla? Thank you. All right. 5.3 administration and department head reports. We'll start with Superintendent Grover.
Perfect. Um first of all, and I'll let Easton uh introduce himself, but just um for the public, we have um Eastston Anderson is student schoolboard rep. I don't know if Mr. Laura will talk about or not. I believe there were four that were interested and um Eastston got
selected and we're off and running with that. So he'll start providing reports and again feel free to um throw questions if there's things you're interested in. Uh I I told him you were nice and would bite. So uh anyway um just running through a few things. Um
first off your homework. uh Nexus when Rob was here asked for some community contacts if you recall and so he's to a point um he's looking at coming back on November 3rd and again he'll reach out I mean not to say you can't I'm just going to use an example whatever if I was
asking Amanda or thought Amanda would be a good person to be on kind of a steering committee community group he will send a letter an email then reach out by phone introduce himself kind of talk about a process you're by all means you know can ask someone. But I mean,
he'll do, you know, a lot of the work if we want, you know, type deal. So, his thought was if we could get three from every board member. I've given him a few, but he's not going to get all three. You know what I'm saying? That some people know it's not going to work out or whatever. So, um,
if you could a name, a phone, and an email, or if you want an address, he'll send an actual, you know, letter, whatever. Um, he just liked to start reaching out and having some contact. Um, and occasionally he'll meet with people when he comes to, you know, if there's some that, hey, can we chat about ideas or whatever before kind of
bringing them together, which will be down the road, but it just takes time. So, um, what's your thought? I mean, can we within a week get like I said, I said I would compile and send him a list. I know if we don't put a deadline, I know it'll happen. Um, what's
I would I mean, we should all be able to think of three by the end of the week. I would think we can just email them. Email me by Friday or something like that if you can. You want me to send you an email for a reminder? That'd be great. I will send you something. Yes, please. Okay. And now keep in mind if you notice
often I do like two. Okay. Just it saves some time. I won't do all six of you because then we can get a chain going or whatever. But um reply to me or reply to whatever. So that's that. Um just wanted to give a little bit um not this last Friday but the Friday before. Um, we
spent some time on the strategic plan. Again, just just jotting some things off on how we're doing, where we're doing, who's working on what. So, I just throw it out there. Um, I do have, it's not put up in here. I got um a copy framed for each of the buildings. So, I believe
probably every office or somewhere in each building is going to be public. I got a a set to put up in here. We haven't gotten them put up yet. Um, and then if forgot the web page and Nancy has that to get get put out there now. So, um, just giving you a heads up, we're we're looking at things, working
on things and and and moving. Um, more to come on that. Um, good news. Last time I meant solar for solar for schools, we did get the thumbs up for phase one. So, we made it through there. They have money set aside assuming we can get a um a second round approved.
And so, we're off and moving on that. It's a fairly quick uh time frame. Um, I think it's December 8th or something like that. I have a call um in two days with a guy that helps us with the RFP because what'll happen now is we'll put an RFP together to select a group that
actually helps write the grant and they're the ones that would do it. So, it's kind of you throw it out now and say put your proposal in, here's what we want, here's how much we have and then they come in and we'll get final. It'll again all come to the board before anything's a thumbs up or thumbs down
for approval. So, just giving you a heads up there. Um, I have something and I I don't know what you guys get from emails. We belong to the Northwest Service Co-op. Okay. Um, they have four um board openings um for uh school board
members if anyone's interested. It's technically a four-year term. They realize, you know, there's no guarantee. Well, I guess any of you are four year. Yeah. You know, from it'll be January 1st, I assume. But if anyone's interested, um, we have an application. Technically,
the board's supposed to say, "Yeah, we got command or whoever." So, I guess I'm just asking, um, it's it's October 21st is the the deadline. So, I mean, we'd kind of have to know tonight if someone wanted um, you know, to have their name put in.
There's an election process, whatever. Not saying you have to, but I just got a copy of this. And so, um, someone does maybe in your report tonight or something say, "Hey, I'd be interested." And I mean, I don't think we need formal action. We just
need, you know, or if two people or three, whatever. Um the teacher contract is on tonight assuming um and I do recommend the committee will recommend that and we can talk about it but we will then move forward getting the principles
scheduled. That's the I think the last group and then the at wills um that that those two have to get done. So assuming that that gets taken care of, I will work with our negotiation crew and then with the principles at least I assume they want to negotiate and
be all right if they didn't. Yeah. So, um, and and the only other thing I wanted to, um, spend a few minutes on is, um, the girls hockey co-op and and just to kind of throw it out, um, I've had conversations over the last few weeks, but I want to say about probably month and a half ago, maybe two
months ago, we were approached and the conversation to consider a co-op and we had, would we be interested? And so then Scott set up a meeting um with because again it had come to Scott originally but with their um I'm going to say leadership group um it was not for this
year it was for a year from now because they had inquired I believe of getting out of the um co-op agreement and Krookxen was not interested at that time you know for this year at the end of a two-year agreement they can't say no type deal. So we started pursuing and
having conversations for a year from now and so we brought it forth last meeting to consider. We had some discussion which again I thank everyone. Um I thought it was good discussion, good points. Um it was all cordial and that's fine. It doesn't matter if you believe one way or the other. It's the way it
should work. Um and then um I believe some of you got maybe all of you I don't see every email got emails from different people and this and that. We had some continued conversation with the AD and the leader um from Sacred Heart. Things were moving and I want to say
probably Wednesday or Thursday of last week there became some concern because um Krooksen wants to add I think it's fertile. I don't know if it's Climax and Fertile. So they want to do that for this year. And so they um approached Sacred Heart going we want to add them.
we're going to have a meeting on Monday, meaning tonight, to approve a new co-op and need to know if you're in or out. And so then Logan, the AD, contacted myself. We had some conversations and, you know, for the most part, the board
was going to decide. I don't know, you know, and but he felt he had to give them, you know, his word one way or another or Sacred Heart had to give their word one way or another and went, I don't know what to tell you. I can't move our meeting up. we're you know it'll be dealt with. Um I believe and
this is my own opinion could have said yes if we would have approved it. Their board you know both boards have to approve it and they their board doesn't meet for I think it's two weeks or roughly in a couple weeks. You then have to vote it down. Um they chose and I'm
just going to say they chose not to. If they give you their word they wanted their word to be good and so again I don't know what process they used. They chose then to resend it from us. So, several people have asked why don't why doesn't the board still consider it? You know, we'll go through the pro. Well, we don't have anything to consider now.
There's really not a school asking to co-op. You know, next year we might be sitting here having the conversation again, but right now once they verbally withdrew it, it's not us saying we won't consider it. Um, and so that's where we're at. And and like I say, and again,
no different than I said before, I would have supported, you know, but it doesn't matter now. And so that's where we're at. I don't know if you have any questions. I did include um because this was asked for and then it was asked for girls hockey numbers um and so Scott
worked with the city um to get and they what they did is they took the projected numbers and just pushed them forward and they did it for girls and boys both. So I I still included it um because I think if you look, you know, the and and I think it's the way it was presented, you know, the the group in high school right
now is not the issue. It's when you get, you know, five, six, seven, and so on down is where um the numbers are going to be a problem. And um I don't think it's a secret and we'll see where it goes. And hopefully there's groups out
there working to recruit more. And but you know the the the reality and I'm just going to pick on any activity well most activities athletic. You know when you get to 8th nth grade if you're not in hockey or basketball you're you're probably not coming out. You know not to
say you couldn't have a fifth sixth grader start skating. I think you could or start playing basketball. But if it doesn't change in the near future, numbers come up, if we're all sitting here 5, six years from now, it's going to be, you know, a tough conversation, you know, and I
think even if Sacred Heart came on board, it's possibly going to still be a tough conversation because when you start getting wherever it is, the one number was 15. You know, that's that's a challenge for a hockey team.
So anyway, any questions on that? I mean, just trying to, like I say, um, again, I think it was all cordial, no hard feelings one way or the other. It is what it is and and we move on and see where we are a year or two years from now or whenever. I guess I do have a comment. I said I I
just appreciate all the the emails from the community that I was getting on, you know, there everyone's fighting for their kids and all that stuff. I guess um I would I would like to see more people fighting for other things in our school, you know, like like like bus
drivers and, you know, the lack of that um other things that we have to offer the public. I wish that that that passion was held in the educational side of things too, not just the girls hockey because we got a lot of emails for that.
But, uh, I really wish that some more of that stuff would come, especially from the educational standpoint when it comes to some of those things. Other than that, I don't have anything else. Um, unless you have questions of me on something. Any other comments, questions.
Thank you. Um, Sierra and know tonight. I can start with Sierra. um she has conferences and so um so from New Heights uh conferences for New Heights tonight 3:30 to 6:30. So if
anyone's listening and you forgot there's still time. Um also Wednesday from 8 to 11:40 a.m. Um or I should say new Heights tonight and tomorrow night 3:30 to 6:30 and then Wednesday 8 to 11:40. Uh reminder no school for K to 5
on Wednesday. Um, thank you PTO for sponsoring an evening meal for our teachers. Uh, book fair is up and ready for families to enjoy during conferences as well. Thank you to Miss Palmer, Miss Havin, and anyone else who helped to get things set up and ready. Uh, first round
of field trips were a success. Kindergarten went to the fire station, first grade went to the Patch on the Point, second grade went to the Children's Popup Museum. Um, we're rolling with the win program. what I need um for all students. Next
week it will be a 25m minute block of time where all students get additional support in reading. Um what this means is is individualized to exactly what each student is needing according to their FastBridge fall assessments. So there'll be some smaller and larger groups um depending on where they are.
Uh picture retakes Tuesday, October 28th. Uh approaching the end of the first quarter already on Friday, October 31st. Uh, New Heights has completed three of five fire drills and three of our five lockdown drills already this year. So,
that's a good deal. Thank you to volunteers who come in and help in the lunchroom. They appreciate the extra support. Uh, thank you to our very own high school students who come every morning to help with morning supervision and breakfast. And that is what uh Miss Anglen sent in. Um, I don't have
anything from Melissa. Okay. So, that's fine. Right, Matt? Hold it down. Hold. Thank you. Usually Sierra and Melissa do it for me. Um um things going on at the middle school.
Fall sports are wrapping up with most of them actually already wrapped up. Um, one big shout out just to the seventh grade football team who did not let any other team score against them this entire season. Um, that is the first time that coach Enright said that has
ever happened to him. So, it's been very How was the point spread? What was the 200 to 200 to zero good job at seventh grade and all other activities that were happening at um middle school. Um, we
are finishing up our CAPTY test, which is the assessment that the state of Minnesota is having us give to our students who um are possibly showing characteristics of dyslexia. Um, to give a quick overview
of it is with the new read Act now that is moving into the secondary world um, middle school and then high school and maybe Mr. Laura is going to talk about it a little bit as well. Basically, our students based on local criteria, which we use the MCA and our STAR data. If
they're showing that they're not proficient or at grade level um on those, then the state of Minnesota has contracted, worked with, decided that we are going to use this CAPY exam um which then breaks down what parts of reading
we might be struggling in so we can give more focused intervention. And so our this is the first year that it is happening at the secondary. Um and so it's a little bit experimental for us as we figure it out. Um we are working right now to get a training scheduled
with our English department as well as our special ed teachers to try to get some more information of what we do with this data, how we do interventions and all of that. So you'll hear more about Redact and CAPTY as the year goes on um
as we start fully implementing in the secondary level. Um so we actually assessed or will have assessed um we had a few that were gone or missing for sports or anything like that. Um 270 students at CMS meaning that they were
showing that based on their MCA and their um STAR reading that they possibly were not at grade level. And so this CAPY again just dives a little deeper into the specifics of maybe what part of the reading process. Um so about half of
our student body um which it will be good when all is said and done um because we'll really be able to figure out how to help these students if if they need it. Some we actually looking at the capy. Some are maybe just had a bad day on the star and will not need any extra intervention because they did
well. Um other things going on, field trips are happening. Seventh grade a couple weeks ago went to the pumpkin patch. Very good. Sounds like students were awesome. Mrs. Veter went with that one. Um students behaved. Uh last Friday
I went with and many teachers um with the sixth grade to Itasa. That was a lot of fun. Um again, students were awesome. Very well behaved. We got to I think we had 10,000 steps by 10:30, 11:00 a.m. Um I had a parent I was just talking with
this afternoon that said that night their kid was just out of it. Like they were ready for bed. Um so that was a lot of fun with the sixth grade. Again, they were they were awesome. They represented the school well. Um we even got to crash a wedding. Um if you'd like to see
pictures, they're online now. There happened to be a wedding happening at Itasa. And so there there are maybe some sixth graders in the background of their wedding photos. Um parent teacher conferences are coming up for the middle school October 22nd and
29th. Those are from 3:30 to 6:30 and we'll work much like an open house. Um so come when you can make it work for your family. Um this Saturday, October 25th, from 1 to 3, we have the pow-wow taking place at the middle school. Um
there will be a bison taco bar and it is open to anybody that would like to join. So come and join on the 25th from 1 to three. Um and then last kind of activity that's happening or happening in the near future is middle school robotics is
starting up and actually their parent meeting is starting very soon. It happens tonight. Um but if you're interested in your student is interested in robotics at that middle school level um reach out. We want students to be involved as as many things as possible.
Um, so there's a quick overview of what we've been doing for the last couple weeks, month. Um, are there any questions from any of the board members? Questions? The the POW is the 25th, right? Correct. So it's not this Saturday. It's fall. Oh, sorry. No, no. I just like I thought
Yep. 25th. Yep. Yep. You said the date, right? I just obviously at the high school we do something wrong. We don't ever get to go on field trips. So I'm just going on field trips then. So um no like uh Mr. Torgersonson said uh
we are also involved in the whole capy star uh MCA uh data collection. Um as as he touched on we we basically started with their MCA scores for all the grades 9 through 12 their most recent reading MCA score which would have been either one or two years ago. Um if they were
proficient or excelled on that metric excelled um they were exempt from it technically exempt from any other testing. We decided as a district I believe to test everybody in STAR no matter what. So, um that could have been another data point and was another data
point. So, if they uh met or exceeded on the STAR, that also really excluded them from doing the captive test. Um if they didn't uh which for us it was 56 9th graders, 54 10th graders, 82 11th graders, and 72th graders. Um those
people took the CAPY test on two of our Thursdays when we have advisors. So, um there's six subtests that they could take. We decided to do do the state state minimum and do all uh do four of the six. Um it was a 30 question word
recognition, 30 question vocabulary, 30 question morphology and anywhere from 32 to 41 questions of reading efficiency. Um did it on two different advisor times because it ended up being about 20 minutes each time, right? So we just finished that up last Thursday. Um they
got a score on each one of their tests. It could be uh weak performance, poor performance, high performance, or strong performance. And like Matt said, we're still trying to evaluate what that looks like. If one test has more weight than the other or how that looks. I have the scores for 90 plus% of the kids because
some are absent. But um we'll be figuring out what that looks like if that exempts them from more interventions. Obviously, as you know, the interventions that we do right now for this semester are during that advisor time, which was only 20 minutes for each week, which isn't enough. But
um those people that we determine will that will need more um intervention will get go into that learning lab that we talked about at the beginning there. They'll go into a learning lab next semester and get either pulled out and if we get a interventionist or strate a
reading strategist and if not then the the learning lab teachers will help them. They'll have probably some other stuff that we'll do with you know targeted to their needs if that makes sense. So, that's where we're at with that. So, lots of stuff, lots of data, lots of things that we're analyzing. So,
um I don't want to steal Eastern Stutter cuz we talked a little bit earlier about what things he was going to talk about, but um I do want to mention just briefly that girls soccer plays in the section championship tomorrow. So, that's awesome. Um Ruby Leech is going to state in tennis. Um so, after her year off and
uh some foreign country last year, she went studied abroad. Now, she's back playing tennis and winning. Uh, so she actually got second, but they take the top two. Um, our rest of our fall teams are going to be soon in playoffs, so good luck to them. We did have parent teacher conferences uh October 8th from
3:30 to 6:30. Quite a few people there. I was I was uh pleasantly surprised by the number. I would say at least 100 parents or more were there. Um, and then we have a second session on November 5th right after quarter one ends. So, and then we'll do kind of the same thing next next semester as well. So, yeah.
So, lots of stuff going on. I have a question about the CAPT and maybe it's for either of you. Um, if your child is involved in that, do you get like information? Information. Yeah. Scores, data.
Yes. Yep. Just like we gave out uh their MCA scores. I they're being given out right now. Um, and we can give that information out for STAR and for for CAP as well. Yep. They all have what they call ISRS, individual score reports. Okay. Yep. So, did we know where to find those as
parents? Uh, it would talk talk to the assistant principal. No, I didn't know if it was like in parent view or what? Uh, it it's all on we all have individual ones that we can print off. Okay. Yep. Absolutely. So, okay. Any
other questions? Okay. I'm gonna actually go to East first because that's Absolutely. And I I do want to welcome East. Thank you East for for being a part of our this crew. So, thank you everyone. Um, as I said, I'm Ethan Anderson. I'm in 11th grade and I'm going to be your student
representative on the school board. To start off, I would like to start off with some activities going on. Student council is having a candy drive this week, Monday through Wednesday. Um, and then later on this month, uh,
there is Sunday, October 26, there is a trunk or treat that student council is hosting. I believe that is with activities as well. Um people bringing their trunks and stuff. Um athletics update. Uh girls soccer has a big game
tomorrow. Section championship versus St. Kong Cathedral. Come support our team. Football. Um our last home game of the season is Wednesday this week before playoffs. Volleyball, we have a game tomorrow at night in Baiji.
Uh, winter sports triyouts is coming soon, so stay tuned for sign up and release dates. And then to end off, our fall musical is Frozen this year, so mark your calendars. Show dates are November 21st,
22nd, and 23rd. And now I'd like to ask, is there any specific things that you guys want me to report on? um things to look out for, stuff like that. Definitely appreciate the updates on
activities. It's nice to hear from the student side of things. Yeah. Any kind of concerns that you guys are running into or things that that we need to address as a board? Um yeah, that's pretty broad, but I think it's
okay, right? like I think it's okay for you to bring things here that you might have that the student body has concerns about or questions about. Okay. Um I don't know if we need to limit it to topics or what have you. Um I think it's okay to say bring what you need to.
Okay, that's fine. As far as us bringing or you bringing things back from what um we have said, you know, there are minutes that are published. That might be the easiest way to gather the information and disseminate them. Um if you so see fit.
It's nice for the students to have a contact though, a person to speak to and say this is what we're thinking about or whatnot. So yeah, great. Thank you. Thanks, Houston. Thank you.
Great Laura. There we go. I'll start with preschool tonight. Um we've been doing some field trips to to the pumpkin patch and then on Wednesday the um East Grand Forks Fire Station is bringing a fire truck to each of the schools. And so the kids will get to not have to travel anywhere
but get to see the fire trucks trucks. So that'll be fun. Um we're working at the preschool level to align things a little bit closer with the K5. So one of those pieces is parent teacher conferences. We don't have our conferences right now. Ours aren't until November, but for next year we're going
to work on aligning those so that we conference at the same time as as K5. And another piece of that is the assessments. We're doing the FastBridge assessment this year with the preschool which the um K5 does already. So we'll do the pieces that are applicable for
our little ones, but we're going to get started with that um assessment with the young ones, too. Uh and then moving to community ed, um our afterwave program is at capacity with 60 kids every day after school at New Heights. So that's been great. um driver's ed after filling
the needs of the East Grand Fork students in quarter 2, we've have 10 additional spots for Riverside students. So, it's actually over capacity, but um Mr. Chono has worked that out to make that u work. So, that's awesome. Um and then I'm working on some classes coming
up, focusing on some art classes at the elementary level that will be finalized and more information coming on that soon. So, lots of things happening. Great. Any questions? I got one. Yeah. With with the afterwave thing is you're saying that that's at capacity. Is there
any way that that can get any bigger or we don't have any more space for that or right now that's the space that we have and the people that we have that are available to work it. Um we're trying to be really um sensitive of the teachers needs for space and quiet space after
school too. So we're utilizing the gym and the um lunchroom area mainly. And then after 3:45 then the kids go to the discovery areas. They're outside too before then of course to play. But um yeah space is that's kind of what we
have for space at least with the arrangement we have right now. Any other questions? Thank you. All right. 5.4 committee reports. I don't have anything else, but I will um pull one thing and I apologize for not
catching with Craig being hired. We we're going to put that under an action item because that can't be part of the consent. Oh, okay. Um so, so under when we get to the consent here in a minute, take Craig brought and we'll just make it an 8.2.
Let's just Yeah. And I I should have caught it, right? And also anyway, um All right. Got nothing else? Yep. No. Okay. Uh 6.0 is a motion to approve the
consent consent agenda as presented. I'll second. going to need to as part of questions and discussion, we're going to need to pull Craig Brought from the hires and make him 8.2, please. And thank you.
The the only other thing and and I just want to throw it out there and we put it on here. Um the family resource center agreement which you've done I don't know how many years. I just threw it on. um it's a technically a non-financial agreement. And again, as long as you're fine with that, they use for the most
part a room over in the um ASC or in the senior high center, that building. And I just didn't feel, you know, that I necessarily should approve it. Yeah.
