don't have uh the handy dandy shiny version of what Miss Leo usually provides but I do have just a couple things I want to update you on first of all we're not canceling school tomorrow because of the heat just want you to know that which is is actually happening
in other districts but we are uh going to avoid that because school doesn't start till Wednesday that's right I was like what what is today everything okay I got you you got it thank you yes um last week we welcomed approximately 30
new staff to East Lancing Public Schools uh Miss Glover Payne and her team uh did a great job of welcoming those folks in over two days we had lots of different subjects we turned on the fire hose of information and helped them understand what curriculum has coming their way um
uh Miss Leo and myself did a infamous bus tour that uh really the only thing to speak of that is that it stopped at the MSU Dairy Store and everybody got a free uhh single scoop so that was
awesome um yeah I know I know we got to work on that um but that was great and this this group as always is just you know motivated excited um skilled equipped uh experienced folks that uh
come to our district just with so much to pour into our students so we're uh really excited about this this class of uhh 2024 other thing I'll say is today we just had the just wonderful privilege of
welcoming back 450 new staff to our uh first day kickoff we had it in the Performing Arts Center um great morning of uh Miss Leo taking us through kind of the goals of the district and what to expect for this year um ucing all of our
new staff principles came up and and did that um a little bit of an update about um our focuses for this year and one of those focuses was all about um artificial intelligence it's kind of the
time to you know not duck and weave the subject that AI is here to stay um so we had Shan Bishop uh he is one of the uh top administrators from masasa the Michigan Association of superintendents
and administrators he came and did a a presentation just about kind of just to get us off the out of the starting blocks about Ai and education how how much it is impacting education already and how much it likely will impact as we
move forward I went to the AI educational Summit um last spring and I one fact stood out to me from that that day is that they said AI is likely to have a kind of impact in our society as
electricity did in 1900 um it's that big of a thing and will have have that much of a impact so um Sean Bishop did a great job uh we have to find a way to show his concluding video uh which was
this uh amazing video of Miss Leo that's all I'm going to say right now but we'll uh we'll have to find a way to bring that back around uh when she's here of course we wouldn't allow her to miss that um and we have a AI um introductory pilot with a company called yourway um
this pilot comes from a company that is associated with our Iman uh membership a culturally sensitive uh AI um pre-trained um AI tour Tool uh tool that can help teachers uh do all kinds of
cool things within the educational settings we have 25 licenses from that company that we will uh uh we're asking teachers to throw their hat in the ring to have a few at each building uh check it out for six weeks and report back out
their staff the idea is to just make some gentle movements comfortable movements towards understanding AI um including this year starting a an AI districtwide committee that will start looking into all those uh intricate
details about you know what's cheating when can you use it when can you not um if if um Mr pasty was here he would tell you that one of our most hit used sites was chat GPT last year um and so it's
it's not like people aren't using it it's it's definitely here and and uh alive and well so we're not afraid of it we don't want to be you know um running from it but also want to embrace it in super positive ways so um last thing
I'll say is we also honored um returning um Folks at the 10e Mark we honored I should say Folks at the 10e Mark 15 20 2 and 30-year Mark that was fun to see uh this uh I won't call them the oldtimers
but our our true tried and true uh wise folks that have been around a while I think we had four people at the 30-year Mark um and so uh congratulations to that group they're they're uh we're so glad they're still with us and making great impact on our students so that's
all I had any questions I'd be glad to entertain those otherwise I'll move on to the next item any questions for uh Mr Mitchum I mean maybe just a comment we had policy um happen to coincide the same morning as new
faculty orientation and it was such a welcoming Vibe like there were teachers outside greeting people coming in and just it it felt very festive and um I was glad that we were able to experience that and yeah great event yeah great
job off a off uh awesome time of the year just to get it back rolling again and all the excitement from our students and staff thank you thank you Mr MIT the next item on the agenda is the

the agenda is public comment and before uh we we go into public comment I like to read this statement um this is the opportunity to address the board speakers are to confine their remarks to five minutes if a speaker requires more than five minutes after all the persons
who have requested to speak during this part of the meeting of spoken that speaker will be allowed additional time the superintendent or other District staff make comment to clear up or avoid significant misunderstandings and it looks like we have a public comment from um Mr Gorman
uh regarding the first day of school and uh we'll invite you up Mr Gorman all right forgive me I do usually like to kind of write up something but I going impromptu today because you've been busy uh but today was our first day of school
um so I want to speak on that I also want to add a clarification that I'm also going to speak on my topic from last week which is the administrative bonuses okay very good so uh first off our first day which to be clear did not have students right we got two more days before the heat advisories really kick
in um but Spirits were high among staff uh we thoroughly enjoyed the professional development that we had and I cannot say that about every professional development we've had so it was useful Talent uh tangible information from a qualified professional and everybody was was thrilled about that so genuinely thank
you um and the teachers of this District are excited about getting to work right and that was that was the theme of my speech so uh with that the only other thing I have to say is I want to clarify a statement uh of superintendent Leos uh that her and I have been discussing about the origins of the funding for um
our administrative bonuses in relation to implementing board polic or not board policy sorry the bond uh proposal for school safety uh those bonuses totaled 30 or $27,000 and in the board meeting uh not last week but the week before it was
stated that that money would be coming from the bond uh since then superintendent Leo has reached out to me to clarify that that is not true that that money is coming from the general fund as it is legally supposed to um and that she has offered for me to sit down on behalf of the union and take a look
at the budget regarding issues of um opportunity cost for those funds so I wanted to clarify that for the public to understand where that money is coming from um especially given that she's not here today to do that so that is all thank you uh thank you for the good PD and the good uh first day and I hope
that our first week and all year is just as good thanks thank you Mr Gorman and thank you for your service on behalf of ela all right is there any other public comment before we conclude this part of the meeting all right I'm not seeing any
additional public comment um the next item on the agenda is board discussion is there any disc question from board members that we'd like to entertain all right I'll take that as no
discussion tonight it's just kind of I think people probably ready to get back home and help their little ones get ready for the first day of school but in two days two days yeah I know I keep it feels like we're just so excited one thing I will say about like
the heat advisory like that 2017 Bond looks really good right now when we put air conditioning in all the elementary buildings uh because uh it would be I was thinking about that in there even tonight like that old Glen Caren building would not have would not have
held up so far nice and cold oh man the smells smells yes it was really warm during those times the air conditioning the smells money the smells yes all right I'm sorry to prolong that
um the next um let's move on to our action items the only next item we have is the German field trip I know we have some of our German faculty here tonight can I get a motion uh regarding the German field trip I move the Board of Education approved the trip request from
Adam orange and Robert filter for a high school trip to Germany in the summer of 2025 second let move by trusty chamers seconded by truste lions I'll invite up Mr filter and Mr orange or hair orange is it hair orange
and hair filter to uh to the podium if there's any questions for um for the German teachers yeah I think I just wanted to um start just a quick uh comment and then Bob will jump
in and talk about our goals moving forward with the program since we've seen some robust growth starting five years ago with one German class of 17 students at the middle school we now have overages and we have full capacity in three courses at the middle school
had over 40 requests for our upper level at the high school so we're expanding and growing and that means as we expand and grow we also have to look at the cultural and linguistic implications of the trip that we've provided for several decades and what that looks like in the landscape of Dei and in the vein of the
kind of curriculum or curricula that we are hoping to continue to adopt as we move forward in um Language and Cultural uh exploration um teaching and learning um we have always had the great pleasure
of enjoying a host day with our program that is still strong and there's excitement that not only will our students next year be able to go back and live with families after the nine or 10 day trip uh which is booked through the travel company that was provided to
the board I believe last week to look at those quotes um they will enjoy another robust family host opportunity and we look forward then in the fall of 2025 offering a reciprocal visit to those German students and to their families
who are coming um from a Global Perspective I think I speak for both Bob and I that we are branching out and always looking to Branch out in terms of uh whom we offer our um additional chaperon um we uh acknowledge that we
have a lot of world language teachers that love international travel but we also know that the ripple effect of spreading that love to other faculty other administrators other parts of the district is equally important and we are happy last time to have Aon Crow the um librarian uh or media specialist from uh
McDonald middle school to be a part of that um and so we will um be uh making an offer to World strides here in a moment and I want to give Bob a chance to kind of talk about what this trip will look like comparatively to the last one we
did yeah so in uh 2023 um you may remember that we came in 2022 and asked for approval for our trip uh we did travel to Berlin and uh Munich as part of the trip and also uh just outside of Munich to no vonstein Castle
um but we're looking this time to expand um to get more uh culture within the German speaking world uh so we're looking to travel also to Austria and Switzerland as part of this trip so it will be a three Country tour um I have done just an Austria trip uh way back in
2013 uh I've done also just a Switzerland trip uh in 2017 and so we're looking to incorporate all three of those countries to give our students a better grasp of the diversity of the German speaking world I know in America most people think uh German is just
Bavaria which is one of the states uh and it's very similar to thinking that America is just Texas or just New York uh so we're looking to really expand the the cultural scope of our students uh by giving them a broader look at the German speaking world thank you and I want to make sure
that we we are uh hitting I think which is an important piece um we want to have more students with more diverse backgrounds we want students who are maybe financially um in different positions and others to have opportunities to do this and so World
strides in explor the company with whom we will be contracting offers um a um almost kind of GoFundMe opportunity for students to put opportunities out there for friends or family to give funds for a birthday or a graduation or something
like that they also offer a new Bingo chart where if students do certain amounts of community service or other opportunities on that Bingo chart they can get credits that are taken off of their um total bill and so that seems to be a really nice uh relationship to
encourage a student to do things in their community in their curriculum as well as that other financial piece there will also be two scholarships total around $500 $550 that's been guaranteed by the company that will be able to then um look at a needs base as we get closer
to departure to help either one student two students or look at using that money and distributing it uh equally among those who might need a little final push across the goal line so that they can enjoy that trip without a burden and I think that's all we have
all right are there any questions for Mr orange Mr filter before we move on to a vote uh how do you know Dr Edsel that I have questions okay one question I have is um you already Mr orange addressed part of it about
um any kind of financial aid opportunities or support in that direction is there any um it sounded like those were company based opportunities are there any um is there any way that we can help or are there any school-based
plans for additional fundraising to support these kiddos so there have been opportunities in the past which is cleaning the stadium at a Spartan event or um looking at going to the Lancing lug nuts and there are opportunities that we have sometimes applied for but not been granted because it's you know a
good Cash Cow and there are tons of organizations that are looking at that yeah um we would entertain things like bake sales again these are things though that bring in small amounts comparatively and we we try to offer the programming as early as we can in the
late summer or early fall so that we're giving families an opportunity to budget accordingly the one thing that I will say is that the price for our trip compared to the other International trips is relatively equal we have the added benefit that we have a 14-day
additional stay over plus that reciprocal visit so we recognize that it is an expensive trip that travel is just expensive whether or not it's in state out of state or out of country um and it seems like we have good boosters and good program and opportunities to come
to the district to ask for help at this point we have yet to find a student that we haven't been able to help with the opportunities provided by the travel companies but certainly we are sensitive to um making sure that the parents and guardians or those who attend the
informational meetings are aware that if there are needs that go beyond that um there are channels that we would hopefully be able to explore with them because certainly we're not in the business of wanting to turn students away we want to include as many as as we can and finally I think just as a fair
um rebuttal is that we do have some students and families who say we can't afford this or we would like to do this but it might not align with our family um vacation or other things for our students looking at visiting college campuses or postsecondary visits in their Junior and Senior year so we do
send to have another percentage of students that say but I can do a lot when the students are here so I can still get something when our visitors are here and so we're certainly not um exclusive to those who just travel but mostly inclusive to have that reciprocal
visit also envelop into our daily lessons and into visits on campus to Detroit Bob's done a good job of organizing Cedar Point I have thankfully never had to shaer on that yet um but there's a there's certainly a tradition that goes past 40 Years of helping kids
on both sides of the pond to enjoy the the fruits of our labor yeah I appreciate that and um have appreciated your in the past too you all thinking about how to make this it's a it's a it's a great deal but it's still a lot of money and so your attention to how to
make this feasible for as many kids as possible much appreciated and my other quick question is and it may have been in here and I just um missed it but who is um eligible to go on this trip like do they have to be taking German like what
is the um so we open it up to all German students because and Bob feel free to interrupt if I'm um misrepresenting this but our goal has always been to encourage students who have done the um State requirement of two years or more
and that's also to benefit the large investment that were sending students who have a baseline culture and linguistic knowledge who are going to thrive and continue to soak that up um we've never attached any requirement however we have students who go after
their second year of German they loved it so much that when they graduate as a senior they want to come on again and we say sure we'll do that and then there's always another family in the fall that says hey we'll take that Americans German kid because he she or they are now at MSU or or somewhere else um we've
never felt we've had to attach a requirement to it again because that seems like that might exclude some who may only want to do a year or two but might have a reason to want to travel there and I think we also see some crossover between some students occasionally not often where a student
might do a couple of years of French or Spanish do one of those trips then they're so interested in linguistics and and language and they come over to our program and do a a a trip with us so um I think those are kind of wildly unique to to the programming that our department offers at the high school
level at least yeah I will say we have not offered in any of our programs any trips to middle school students and I think that's also due to maturity growth um and and the cost and making sure safety and and I think taking High School kids has always been um you know the angle of our department and and the
district's um rubber stamp yeah no I appreciate that and so you mean students who have completed their ninth grade year not because some students will have started in our case German one is a seventh grader which is awesome it's now more Equitable since we
have all of those languages in the Middle School which wasn't the case for a while and they may be coming in as a German 3 student as a 14-year-old but generally have turned 15 or or 16 and our age group of Germans is anywhere between 15 and 15 and 16 they our German
students we've we fluctuated back and forth uh our host School used to work with ninth graders uh but uh Bavaria uh about four or five years ago decided that their students no longer were well prepared after 12 years of school so they added a 13th grade back on again
after having gotten rid of it for a while so now we work with 10th graders so our travel comes in the 10th year for those students got it thank you and then the last thing I do want to say because we are living in a postco and in a um when we're talking about bond in student safety is that we are looking at these
homes our German um uh colleague is interviewing we're interviewing our potential host family so we're not only interested in just the travel piece but we are really globally looking and casting our net to make sure that the places that they're staying they're clean they're available food water
they're able to get get on and transport to the to the sister city school and we see them and check in with them all the time and so I sometimes think that that gets lost that um we just are looking for approval for the trip part which is the way to get them over but we certainly don't you know we'd be
remissed if we didn't recognize that there's a lot of extra work that goes into to make sure that the safety um and other protocols on both sides are followed yeah and we appreciate that attention thank you I'm done anybody else
any other questions for our German teachers I'd like to make a comment um having been a parent uh for a trip recently I was really Amazed by the amount of preparation that you both put in and uh it was every time that we had
a question it was something that you had addressed um when we needed to figure out what the next step was going to be or what the agenda would be everything was very well documented very clear you guys did a great job of bringing in the families and the stud very early so um I
I thought it was an awesome experience and I appreciate the work that you guys put in for that Duna well and I'll say that's thank you in German V and I'll say just uh I've not been a parent on a trip but um I happened to be
on a happened to be on a plane back from Europe this summer with some kids from somewhere in some town in Michigan that had been in Germany they all had matching t-shirts and it was just a gig Factory children were giddy they were having a lot of fun and I thought about you guys actually I thought about uh
these trips that you've done in the past and um and it was it was great for me to think that we have students in our district to have a chance to experience that really appreciate the work you're doing to get more students involved and make sure everybody has a shot and I'm also impressed by what you're saying about enrollment in the classes it
sounds like there's a lot of energy and excitement for the work you're doing so that's a credit to you both get my kid to take German now yeah all right so the motion was made by trusty Chambers and seconded by
trusty Lions all in favor of the motion regarding the approval of the German trip uh please say I I any opposition the motion carries unanimously thank you for being here thanks guys the next item is uh committee
reports um let's begin with academic and Technology Miss Lions no no report and our next meeting will be in September we haven't gotten a date yet facilities Mr Ferris Highland's not here do we have anything to report on that committee we
have not had a meeting since last all right and uh finance committee trusty edel um our September 16th meeting has been cancelled because Mr Pew will be out of the district um
that's usually the meeting where we uh do an in-depth dive into the audited financial statements um I spoke with Dave at the auditing um company just uh as the treasurer he
reaches out every year and um one exciting thing is that the audited financial statements our fund balance is a million dollars greater than or at least that's what what he told me I did I have not seen any paperwork a million dollars greater than what
um what was projected um which isn't surprising uh Mr pe's uh budgets pretty conservatively um so that's a that's a plus um instead of us seeing the longer version of the presentation I told him this the board would love to see the
longer version of the presentation so he's going to wait until the 23rd EXC to give the the longer version of the audited financial statement presentation so you will all get privy to that on September 23rd cool we might need to get
a bigger room yeah if he's gonna he's gonna bring all that out a lot of interest from the community absolutely uh thank you trusty atel the next is intergovernmental relations nothing to report all right
Personnel committee uh nothing to report from the Personnel committee policy committee tresse Chambers yeah so we have been focused on um the summer policy updates from TR um in this last meeting we we added a meeting to our
agenda to try to get through at the last meeting we sent forward a revision to the title 9 policy and that took our entire August no whatever the meeting July 31st meeting was entirely devoted to that so
we added a meeting to try to get through the other um policy revisions we got through most of them and so you'll see those in items of information the exceptions to that are um and this is why of which I had my notes but two policies that we wanted to get some
additional eyes on one of those is related to the AI policy that will be coming to academic and Technology um it is recommended policy from TR but since we had this focused um professional
learning opportunity today and because of the academic and Technology implications of such a policy we thought it would make good sense to have that committee take a look at it um and then the other policy that we pulled out uh was really had a financial
implication that we wanted uh our Director of Finance to look at Mr Pew and so we also pulled that so we made it through you know our board book is numbered through the 5000s we made it through the 4,000 so we we'll have an
additional meeting September 16th I think something like that someone can look it up um to look at those additional revisions but the up through the 4,000 minus those two that I mentioned are in items of
information to look at a lot of them are very minor technical updates um and you'll see that they're marked so that you can see those things um and I'm trying to think if there's anything else from that meeting or from well the entire meeting was related to
the policy updates um I think that might be all of the pieces that are relevant at this time yeah and so at our next board meeting we'll have an update about that last batch of 5,000 um that are related
to student conduct student related issues um and so more revisions will be coming but for now take a look at the ones that are items in of information and then we'll bring forward the other plus the two that we reserved hopefully at the next board
meeting do you know when those will be in items of information this right okay thank um if I'm there was one other thing I was going to add oh uh only because I missed it um which nobody else did so this is
probably just a me thing um right at the the very top of the letter head that tells you all of the changes that were made there's a whole bunch that are simply changed from parents and Guardians to parents with a capital P with a definition of that stands for all
of the in loc in local parentes units um there and so there's a huge number of them that that's the only change that is made just as you're going through them and then um there are some policies that we have
made changes to personalized for our district um that we're trying to make sure don't end up um that our changes carry forward to the next one so that's uh so sometimes you have to compare our
current policy all the way through and not just the changes to know that we're carrying through the same uh things that we've already adjusted made special for our district we haven't figured out a good system for that yet that's all sorry I me it okay I
think that's it from policy well thank you all right um any announcements before we adjourn our next meeting will be Monday September 9th at 7 pm here um I will be
sending everyone on the board um my recommendations for appointment to the sexual education Advisory Board um there'll be a new co-chair um that um was unanimously supported by the current
board and a couple of new members so if there's any comments on that please um look out for your email and if you want to if you have any questions or comments for me let me know but um I've been in touch with Miss Scott and their next meeting is coming up on September 16th I think so we need to make those
appointments by the 9th great all right well if there's nothing else for today we'll adjourn at 7 41 p.m. thank you all for being here I'll see you on September 9th and have a great first week of school
