There was nothing to motion. I got it. The motion to go forward agenda. agenda. >> That's correct. >> And then we need another motion. >> That's correct. I don't have

2
00:11:33.920 --> 00:12:48.160
the opening meeting. to accept the business agenda. Any discussion about the business district? Yes. Now we're just a minute before the students come up just so that they get their moment. We are getting feedback that the screen

3
00:12:48.160 --> 00:13:09.160
of the meeting has no sound. >> Yes, it does. >> So, if anybody is watching or students at home, they'll have a chance to see. >> The sound is working now. >> The sound is working.

4
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:45.360
I mean, at this rate, I'm better off just going to might as well. >> Good evening. celebrate our life. First coaches, thank you for showing up every

5
00:13:45.360 --> 00:14:01.040
single day and doing all the beyond the time in the weight room and on the practice field rarely makes the highlight reels or talk about much, but it makes everything else possible. All that hard work and dedication led to some amazing accomplishments this

6
00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:17.440
season. Our varsity football team qualified for the state playoffs backto-back seasons for the first time since 2009 2010. Our girls bowling team won the MAC gold division dual league title for the fourth time in five seasons.

7
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:33.680
Our girls basketball team went undefeated in the MAC bronze, claimed it first league title since the 22 23 season. Our softball team won a second straight district championship. Our baseball team won a second district championship in the last three seasons. Our

8
00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:48.079
boys track and field team were crowned in the back bronze divisions for the second time in three years. We also had some pretty amazing individual campus which I'd like to mention. Kean Johnson qualified for the state finals in the

9
00:14:48.079 --> 00:15:04.880
back years of 110 meter high hurdles and our boys 4x400 relay team qualified for the state finals. This is the fifth year in a row Hazel Park has had someone qualify for the state finals in track and field. We also had two track and field high

10
00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:27.600
school records broken this season with a time of 14.70. Kean Johnson set the school record in 110 surpassing the previous mark of 14.8 1979 I received answers and by the time I'm 12.69

11
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:47.760
Summers set the school record in 100 meter dash mark 12.80 set 208 and our junior high. Our seventh grade volleyball team and softball teams both finished year undefeated. We also killed the for the first time since 2021.

12
00:15:47.760 --> 00:16:04.639
Finally, as we and on finally as we also increase numbers across the board, we have 137 female student athletes this season, up 12 from the season ago and our boys numbers also increased to 143, which is up six from our student athletes numbers and our

13
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:20.320
student athletes at the junior high also increased in every school. We're continuing to build something special here at Hazel Park and it's all of the hard work and dedication from our student athletes and coaches and staff members that have put to make this happen. To everyone for allowing me to

14
00:16:20.320 --> 00:17:14.400
be part of this, thank you very much. Now on to our team recognitions. Can I get the girls basketball team to stay? [applause] I'll announce all the team names. First

30
00:28:51.440 --> 00:29:25.600
Next presentation. Good evening. So happy to be here. I am principal at High School and it is a pleasure to be with you this evening and give you an end of year update on the junior high and how things turned out

31
00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:41.440
with the model which we are proud to say very well. Last year around this time I was talking to you from a different role in the organization about the prospect of implementing the team model in the coming year and now we are happy to say

32
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:58.480
that we successfully have achieved that. One of the things that if you know me well, you know that clever quotes and so I love this one to start because it talks about collaboration allowing us to know more than we are capable of knowing ourselves. I often heard say the

33
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:14.720
smartest person in the room is the room. And so to the extent that we can work together, we often find greater end results as a as a result of leveraging the expertise, the talents, uh the dedication, passion of others are

34
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:35.200
collectively coming together to do some cool things for kids. So I'm proud to say this year has been a success. So we've been talking about this country learning for a really long time and in most of the systems that I've had the pleasure of working in we've not really changed a whole lot until now. Uh

35
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:50.399
they've been a team model. It has really been a wonderful experience. Uh we know that great things in education are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people. And so I am simply here to express the success of the faculty

36
00:30:50.399 --> 00:31:08.080
and um our instructional coach, our athletic director, our dean of students, our instructional coach. I've said that before, but I said that twice because she's been instrumental. And our teachers, they have done um amazing work this year, embarking on something

37
00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:23.840
completely new to them and tackling things that maybe seemed insurmountable at the beginning of the year. and yet they did it with grace every day helping one another and I couldn't be prouder to have done it alongside with them. Next slide. So the team model really does embrace

38
00:31:23.840 --> 00:31:40.880
many of the 21st century learning um pieces that we talk about in high performing schools. This teeny model promotes collaboration and a sense of shared responsibility for student success. We often use and regularly use uh data to inform our instruction to

39
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:56.080
look at intervention and to provide enriching opportunities for our students. It encourages crosscurricular planning although we're still dipping our toes into that and I'm excited for what that will look like going forward. But in terms of building relationships

40
00:31:56.080 --> 00:32:13.440
from faculty to faculty, faculty to students, and faculty to families is really an innovative approach. We were able to address students academic and behavioral needs, their social emotional needs in real time because they were on a team and they have core teachers that

41
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:29.279
were with them every day for the entire school year and it made a difference. Next slide. So, one of the things I was curious as a building leader was what the teachers had to say, the teachers perspective. So, I created a short survey at the end

42
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:45.360
of the year, totally anonymous and totally optional, and asked them to to tell us and reflect a little bit about how things felt for them with respect to the teeny model. So one of the questions was at the start of this year, what were your initial thoughts, expectations or

43
00:32:45.360 --> 00:33:00.480
concerns about the teen model and its impact on your teaching? And while I wanted to highlight these four responses, not everybody was super excited about the teen model. We know that change theory tells us that when you change things, you have early

44
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:17.120
adopters who are excited on that devel. You have others who are interested, but they're a wait and see how is this really going to be. And then you have people on the other side that really wish it would go away. And so some people would like it to go away, but that's a very very small minority of our

45
00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:32.799
staff and we're still working on them to bring them along. But the majority of our teachers are excited. At the beginning of the year, they were excited, nervous, excited, wondering what it was going to be like. Um, and so the consensus was they gave it a try,

46
00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:48.880
but they weren't completely sold. Next slide. These are the same people who were excited but nervous. The first one said they love it. Uh, citing closer relationships with students and families more so than they'd ever experienced

47
00:33:48.880 --> 00:34:06.159
before. They allowed this allowed them to better advocate for the needs of themselves as educators and the needs of their students. The second respondent said the teaching model lend to crosscurricular teaching and learning especially with respect to writing. And the downside is that you had to learn

48
00:34:06.159 --> 00:34:22.720
some new curriculum that they should be more dispersed in. Uh they like to win. Um when attendance initially was a headache and it absolutely was. We have figured out how our school went in team. We think we're learning and growing as a team as well. And so some of the things

49
00:34:22.720 --> 00:34:38.320
that we thought we had figured out turned out we need to make some revisions. And so that's okay. We revised and we continue to press forward. Our third respondent said they think teaming is the way to go. Yet they do see opportunities for improvement

50
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:54.240
still. So iteration one is in the history books and we're looking at teaming 2.0 for next year. And the respondent for said, I think it was the right change, but we still have a long way to go to get to where I know it can be, which is an interesting

51
00:34:54.240 --> 00:35:11.359
statement because they can see it. They have the vision. We just need to continue to work to get in that direction. Next slide. So, we are proud of that. We're proud of the perspectives that our faculty have had and their willingness to to try something new. Change is hard.

52
00:35:11.359 --> 00:35:27.119
One of the things that we did this year, we really held tight. We only had to revise the schedule one time. Uh but we did bi-weekly grade level meetings with our teachers and it was typically myself and our instructional coach who was

53
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:42.400
absolutely amazing and they included our general education teachers, our special education teachers and our intervention teachers, we call them MTSS teachers. During these meetings, we did a variety of things. One of the key things that we

54
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:57.200
did was look at our student achievement data. Examining the fall I read data and reading and math as well as our Earl assessment, the classroom assessments, the teachers indicators, what they noticed in the classroom to create our

55
00:35:57.200 --> 00:36:13.520
initial winning group. WIN stands for what I me and they are fluid intervention and enriching groups that met daily to give students more personalized instruction beyond the tier one instruction that all students

56
00:36:13.520 --> 00:36:30.640
receive. So we worked hard to make those groups initially and to get used to that idea and how that would work within the TV model. We got better and better as the year went on. And these B team meetings happened on Wednesdays and we did them with fidelity because we knew

57
00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:46.400
that we had to stay course and be as supportive of this process as possible. We were able to identify target academic needs and we were able to revise those as the year went on and group and regroup students as the need indicated.

58
00:36:46.400 --> 00:37:02.720
Next slide. Additionally, during the day-to-day, we did lots of other things, too. Our instructional coach provided just in time or take used professional learning to help teachers with their instruction. There is a districtwide, as you I'm sure

59
00:37:02.720 --> 00:37:17.920
you know, it's in the mindset plan and in the strategic plan to focus on vocabulary instruction. And she helped to provide vocabulary development and comprehension strategies to support teachers in their lesson planning. She gave wonderful strategies that were

60
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:33.280
universal for all subjects in writing and helping students to write summaries. Many of our teachers had the opportunity to do morphology training and word study training where they were able to bring that back and share that out at day-to-day and they also were supported

61
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:49.280
in other high impact strategies for instruction. We supported our teams in the bio meetings with the nuts and bolts of the year. We planned school events together. made sure things like our career readiness and um initiatives and curriculum were being

62
00:37:49.280 --> 00:38:05.520
attended to. It was really a one-stop shop for really supporting teachers and being there to listen to their celebrations, their frustrations and to do that work with our students rolled up side by side with the faculty. Next slide.

63
00:38:05.520 --> 00:38:20.880
We believe that these dayto-day these meetings had a great impact. We believe that it strengthened our teachers confidence. They are definitely competent. They are actually fantastic faculty, wonderful educators. But it was

64
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:36.240
new and they needed confidence. I believe that our database helped to strengthen their confidence. It helped to increase collaboration and consistency across grades so that students no matter if they are team AA or team B got similar experiences in

65
00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:51.359
their classes and a guaranteed viable curriculum in line with the district expectations. I believe we were more responsive than not in terms of academic and behavioral needs for our students and it helped to create a structured system of support

66
00:38:51.359 --> 00:39:08.560
that teachers can count on. The last bullet point is near and dear to my heart. It's my dissertation research around the efficacy of teacher self-efficacy. We know that individual and collective efficacy is the key to student improvement. There is nothing

67
00:39:08.560 --> 00:39:25.920
more consistently positively correlated with high levels of student achievement than teacher advocacy both individual and collective. And I believe the Katini model helps to elicit high levels of teacher advocacy and therefore it is correlated with increasing levels of

68
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:41.040
student achievement with her report. A few more slides. Separately, we've had a great system of support in our MTSS teachers. We started the year with two interventionists and thanks to

69
00:39:41.040 --> 00:39:59.040
Dr. Ditch and Dr. lowass. We were able to get a grant through the school district and through their creativity and innovation, they were able to get this grant. It was a competitive grant and put something easy for them to earn. And we were thrilled to be those recipients of uh that grant because it

70
00:39:59.040 --> 00:40:15.359
allowed us to expand our MTSS team to three interventionists. Um this really increased our team's capacity to support more students and provide targeted intervention. And we are proud to say that at the end of the day 193 students received targeted

71
00:40:15.359 --> 00:40:31.839
intervention in reading and 28 students received targeted instruction in mathematics. Students were in small groups based on their learning needs. So we carefully examined the data to determine what

72
00:40:31.839 --> 00:40:51.760
groups went together and what specific instructional um needs were required. And then we match the curriculum and we match the uh district approved resources to support their growth. Next slide. So data that they use on a regular

73
00:40:51.760 --> 00:41:08.960
basis. This isn't all of it, but it's some of it. The early assessments, the IR assessments, the curriculum based progress monitoring assessments, and they were used and triangulated to make sure we had really clearance of what our students needed. And these groups were

74
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:24.400
made in [singing] many ways depending on student needs because as students grew and we knew they were great because our interventions were partners monitoring them and we were able to change groups and sometimes we exited this out and they allowed us to serve more students.

75
00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:40.079
So we were really diligent about grouping and regrouping to make sure that this system was serving as many students as possible. Next slide. So, as I just noted, approximately every six to nine weeks throughout the course

76
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:57.440
of the school year, student progress and needs were assessed and groups were revised. They had planned targeted instruction. They were ongoing in terms of their reviewing the the effectiveness of their interventions and they had an ongoing

77
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:15.359
team themselves of the three uh MTSS teachers that help them to remain resilient, responsive, efficient and focused on student growth. We believe that the MTSS process provided a systemic and datadriven framework for identifying student needs.

78
00:42:15.359 --> 00:42:33.359
And we believe that the expanded staff include that grant was significant in impacting our student achievement at the junior high this year. When we turn our attention to the I Ready data, we're just giving you a highle snapshot view that illustrates

79
00:42:33.359 --> 00:42:48.720
the growth that happened in all areas this year. What you're looking at here is some very basic brief snapshots of graphs that have been put in in this table here for you to review. And we're looking at the data from the fall to the

80
00:42:48.720 --> 00:43:06.400
spring. So here in front of you, you'll see reading and vocabulary. And we specifically pulled vocabulary because as I mentioned, vocabulary has been a district focus for at least the last two years. And it is something that has been an identified strategy in both the and

81
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:21.680
the district strategic plans. I wanted to highlight for you um when we focus on things and it it makes a positive difference particularly as board members and and overseeing that strategic plan. Overall, if you want to go to the next

82
00:43:21.680 --> 00:43:37.920
slide, please. Overall in reading proficiency, we increased in all grade levels. The sixth grade increased seven percentage points. Seventh grade eight, eighth grade eight percentage points. This is from fall to spring. Overall,

83
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:54.079
the percentage of students performing below grade level and reading decreased. So, we increased achievement and we decreased the number of students that were below grade level. So, both book ends were changing for the positive. There were significant reductions in

84
00:43:54.079 --> 00:44:11.119
students below grade level seen in all grades. Uh, seventh grade had a sorry, sixth grade moved 7%. So 7% of students moved out of that area. Uh 11% for seventh grade and 90% for the eighth grade. So

85
00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:26.240
significant. Switching over to vocabularies. Again, it was identified as a key instructional focus for the school district and I want to highlight that the junior high focus seriously.

86
00:44:26.240 --> 00:44:42.000
overall vocabulary proficiency increased from 22% to 29% a gain of seven percentage points specifically seventh grade and I could drill down to the strategy happening in those classrooms because I was with the teachers a lot

87
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:59.119
talking with them about instruction visiting classrooms they grew 10 percentage points because there was a very significant focus on vocabulary but that wasn't just happening in seventh grade it was happening and and eighth grade as well.

88
00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:15.280
The eighth grade increased six percentage points in vocabulary and so did our sixth grade team. We know that when intentional focus on vocabulary instruction is done, it produces measurable gains for students and we are

89
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:35.440
proud of those gains. Next slide. >> Switching over to math. uh we see similar data. We see our students growing across all grades. This year there was the implementation of the new math curriculum and so there was significant learning curve for our

90
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:52.800
math instructors. Not to mention the curriculum was new, the teaching model was new. All of it was new. And yet they persevered. They dug in. They did really well. And yet there's lots of opportunity for us to continue to grow. But we have to begin somewhere. So when

91
00:45:52.800 --> 00:46:07.839
you look at math overall, we grew six percentage points from fall to spring and you see that pretty consistently across all the grades. However, six and I'm sorry, sixth and eighth grade grew 7%.

92
00:46:07.839 --> 00:46:22.800
And similar to the reading, you see that the students below grade level shrunk. So we were making impact on both ends. So if you could move to the next slide, this is sort of the summary here. the percent of students below grade

93
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:39.440
level math decreased by 6%. So the efforts of our faculty made a difference for students. It's always about how do we impact students but the leverage of the faculty. Next slide.

94
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:55.520
So student growth highlights we are proud to say that our students demonstrated growth across all measured areas in reading and math from fall to spring as measured by the Ready. We are proud to say that grade level proficiency increased at every grade level and that the percentage of our

95
00:46:55.520 --> 00:47:11.280
students performing below grade level decreased across all grade and all content areas this year. We believe that while we can't say it's the cause, we believe there's a correlation between and the data reflects that the impact of targeted interventions, collaborative

96
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:26.160
planning and instructional support systems has an impact on student achievement. And I strongly believe um that and watch this. Over time, you will see teacher efficacy. If we were to study it and ask teachers to report their levels of teacher efficacy, I

97
00:47:26.160 --> 00:47:43.359
believe you'll see that increase as well and that'll continue to drive student achievement up. Next slide. So, in hindsight and reflection, the systems that supported growth by weekly database are critical. The wind time

98
00:47:43.359 --> 00:47:58.160
block the what I mean block of time where groups are continuously adjusted to support student individualized instruction or small group instruction. I believe from a teacher standpoint that the variation and ongoing professional

99
00:47:58.160 --> 00:48:14.800
learning in vocabulary, comprehension, writing, morphology, and other high impact instructional strategies, their willingness to dig into the new math curriculum and to support one another collaboratively on a daily basis had an impact.

100
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:29.680
Um, I believe that the consistent monitoring and support ensured that students receive timely academic and behavioral interventions. Next up, the final thoughts this year. I love

101
00:48:29.680 --> 00:48:47.280
quotes. Andy for and are two of the best researchers I know. And before of course the founder of professional learning communities and John Hattie is a renowned educational researcher. The most promising strategy for sustaining substantive school improvement is the

102
00:48:47.280 --> 00:49:02.400
develop is developing the ability of school personnel to function as professional learning communities. And that's what's happening at the junior high every day during team time who are core teachers and all of our teachers because our elected teachers, our

103
00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:18.079
project leaders all have team time and it makes a difference. And finally, the collective teacher efficacy that through their collective actions educators can positively influence student outcomes and they are they're doing it every day

104
00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:33.119
and the data shows it. I would love to see double digit gains next year but we have to start somewhere and they're proud to say we started we conquered it and we're ready for team 2.0. So thank you for listening. We're proud to report this to you and we were proud that we

105
00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:52.720
had the junior high. Thank you. [applause] >> Yes. Can we go back to the charts? Sure. Yeah. So, how am I reading this when it says like all let's go map? Sure. You can take a look. Um, is it sixth grade?

106
00:49:52.720 --> 00:50:07.440
I'm looking at Sorry. It says sixth grade 64% in the fall. 59%. Is that 64% at grade level? So, students that So, you're So, where the red is, these are the students that were below

107
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:23.520
grade level in the fall. So 64% of our sixth graders were below grade level in the fall and math and by spring 59% were. So we decreased the number of students that were below grade level by 5%. And if you switch over to the green

108
00:50:23.520 --> 00:50:39.200
chart that's the the growth. So in the sixth grades in terms of proficiency rather in sixth grade 12% of our students were considered proficient in math in the fall and 19% were considered proficient in the spring. So

109
00:50:39.200 --> 00:50:59.200
that's an increase of 7%. >> It is because you're looking at it from an angle. So, back to the white. I can see what I'm understanding this. We still had in the spring 41% of sixth graders that weren't at sixth grade math

110
00:50:59.200 --> 00:51:17.359
level. >> 59%. I thought the 59 was at grade level. >> No, that's below. >> Oh, that's below grade level. >> You got it. Yep. sent to us. Can you email us this?

111
00:51:17.359 --> 00:51:36.720
>> Oh, yeah. We'll be sure. We'll have it. We'll have it posted up. >> Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. >> Anyone else? Um I just wanted to say for um to see that increase in growth is

112
00:51:36.720 --> 00:51:53.280
fantastic always. Um the junior high was built that way. to have the house was called the house program. So the team teaching is the same method. I I was happy to hear that that was coming back and the students go

113
00:51:53.280 --> 00:52:10.000
out into those pods and that's where the teachers modeled together. So I think the team teaching and our schools was built correctly and I'm glad that we could bring something back doing the same thing and obviously it showed some increase there some good things

114
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:26.800
happening at the junior high. So thank you for the great year with your first year principal and thank you to your team and Mr. Tiger and all the teachers over there. So thank you. >> Thank you. The building is beautiful and it's beautifully maintained and it is

115
00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:48.960

122
00:56:42.960 --> 00:57:01.839
support. I have the resolution where the park education resolution whereas news of the end of slavery do not reach the frontier areas of the United States in particular the state of Texas and other southwestern states until months after the conclusion of the

123
00:57:01.839 --> 00:57:18.160
civil war more than 2.5 years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation on January 1st 1863 and whereas on June 19th 1865 Union soldiers led by Major General arrived in Galveston, Texas with news that the

124
00:57:18.160 --> 00:57:33.760
civil war had ended and the enslaved were free. And whereas African-Americans who had been enslaved in the southwest celebrated June 19th commonly known as Junth Independence Day as an inspiration and encouragement for future generations. And whereas

125
00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:48.880
African-Americans from the southwest have continued the tradition of observing Junth for more than 150 years. And whereas the United States Congress has designated June 19th as Junth Independence Day and Junth is now celebrated in nearly every state in the

126
00:57:48.880 --> 00:58:04.240
nation as a special day of observance and recognition of the emancipation of all slaves in the United States. And whereas black history is a part of the American history. As educational leaders, we have a responsibility to educate students throughout the entire year about the contribution of

127
00:58:04.240 --> 00:58:19.680
African-Americans. Whereas team is an opportunity for the people of the United States regardless of race, ethnicity, ethnicity or background to learn more about the past to better understand and reckon with the experiences that have shaped the United

128
00:58:19.680 --> 00:58:35.040
States and to recognize that the observance of the end of slavery is part of the history and heritage of the United States. And now therefore we have resolved that the school district of the city of Hazel Park Board of Education designates June 19th 2026 as Junth

129
00:58:35.040 --> 00:59:05.880
Independence Day. >> Thank you. >> I have a motion to accept the resolution. >> Yes. Yes. >> Yes. >> 70 motion for additional staffing.

144
01:04:52.480 --> 01:05:07.680
more buses in the future, but right now it's three buses instead of four that we approved and thus with the bus charters. We also will be working with DTE to try to get some uh reimbursement from that as well. So, we may have some additional money left over as well.

161
01:12:28.400 --> 01:12:49.560
to do three votes is the resolution and it is [clears throat] OCSBA opposes tying any school funing waving the attorney client. This had to do with 31.

162
01:12:50.000 --> 01:13:15.120
So they can't keep doing vote for number one resolution. We can vote on individual motion by second by these. I just The proposed amendment for the bylaw is

by their director selection and then the third one was to ensure that either chair or vice chair of the county school board committee is board everybody over

165
01:13:58.080 --> 01:14:14.000
I just want to clarify President Hinton that the the resolution proposed by OCSDA uh does not mandate that funding cannot be tied to waving attorney client privilege. But OCSBA is

166
01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:30.760
vely advocating that no school funding should be tied to something that would put behind closed doors the safety or security of students. Correct. So we would be voting also that

167
01:14:33.360 --> 01:14:48.560
>> So did you want to do three votes then? >> No, I don't think we need to do three votes. So, I just wanted to make sure that um it was understood that it was a resolution, not not an additional change to their bylaws that says you can't, just that they're [snorts] they're opposing to the

items by um from the national psychology association. So that was a good day. We made it um here barely uh before the week and tomorrow we will be meeting with a small group of administrators for the strategic plan to come up with the

200
01:30:03.760 --> 01:30:18.800
putting that in motion and in place. So, we look forward to having all the goals developed by the administrative team and we have a couple of the literacy coaches that were here with us as well um during that Saturday that we were able to get together. So, looking forward to that as

201
01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:36.320
well. Wednesday is data day for our administrators and just some feedback from the school year. So, all the administrators will sit down under the guidance of Dr. Danch to look at the data uh that the they have done and the growth data that we've gotten from EPA as well to positives and negatives and

202
01:30:36.320 --> 01:30:52.639
develop their goals for the upcoming school year. So, we're very much looking forward to that time and next Tuesday will be the budget hearing at um 5:20. You don't need that long. So, I think 5:15 520 5:30 will be the

203
01:30:52.639 --> 01:31:12.560
board meeting where we'll approve the budget and also do my midyear evaluation in open session. Um and then um on the topic I was asked to place district attorney Okay. So, this is justformational

204
01:31:12.560 --> 01:31:29.360
that were requested and then I requested district council. Uh that we haven't I'd like to suggest that Mr. Patterson um come back for his final year on the

205
01:31:29.360 --> 01:31:46.400
contract seeing that uh he was the only person that lost his job due to funding and now we do have the resources. The other person that lost their position was allowed to come back and I just

206
01:31:46.400 --> 01:32:04.239
think that um we could look maybe less hours but I think he should be reinstated for that one year. >> Boarding hires the superintendent. is not the recommendation of the administrative team as we do not feel

207
01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:20.400
that position is in place. It will set us back additional dollars depending on how I the board themselves can hire him to come to board meetings etc. um outside just like outside the district like you do for um your other attorney

208
01:32:20.400 --> 01:32:49.040
firms and he was done that in the past Again, you were just said earlier that a room could potentially have air because of money. So, how would we finish? >> I do get everyone's

209
01:32:49.040 --> 01:33:05.199
certain things. Okay. But this was said this is a lot of money and we are looking good. So, why would we back again? I would not be opposed to looking at the idea of marrying him for us. If you guys

210
01:33:05.199 --> 01:33:36.320
want to do that, talk about that. I wasn't saying no to the air because of the cost. I was saying no to the air because I think that money could be used in the classroom. Okay, >> if I may offer two cents.

211
01:33:36.320 --> 01:33:54.239
>> Um, I think that we've always 40 years that I've been around and I know people just love to hear that, but you know, I do have some experience. Um, I did see that I was Soya and wanted to know my experience, but I've been around longer than most people probably in this

212
01:33:54.239 --> 01:34:10.800
room besides Mr. Hinton and working. We've always had a district council counseling us. They always have had Mr. O' Conor um etc. Um I think that we

213
01:34:10.800 --> 01:34:28.000
could utilize Mr. Patterson at 30 hours a week, a reduction in time with some vacation and with insurance. So that way it's profitable for him to be able to going to continue since he is

214
01:34:28.000 --> 01:34:44.080
homegrown himself. Heck, I play in band with his brother, El saxophone. Um, I think that we have a service to this community to make sure that we are uh

215
01:34:44.080 --> 01:35:01.120
guided by district council as a board and I think it's helpful to have him with the foyers and I don't even know why the board couldn't assign or have the administrator administration assigned him uh Camp Hazelwood. He used to have Jamie Matt as a Camp Hazelwood

216
01:35:01.120 --> 01:35:16.719
coordinator and he made sure everything was always okay out there. I mean, there is things that Mr. Patterson can do at 30 hours uh a week. Um that that's my my two cents.

217
01:35:16.719 --> 01:35:34.480
I think that uh I I I think we really need to have the stability uh on the board with having council. >> Maybe I can I know I just if I can just have a moment. >> Sure. >> Um, President, what I would suggest, we

218
01:35:34.480 --> 01:35:50.719
have requests for future agenda items coming up and I would just like for us to protect oursel because we've had a pretty lengthy discussion without a motion or anything placed in order to discuss that perhaps at the committee of the whole for our next meeting, we

219
01:35:50.719 --> 01:36:08.639
should have either a recommendation or a from the board whether or not we're interested in Mr. Patterson as an attorney that represents the board of meetings. Um, I just I I think it's worthwhile discussion, but I think we're going down a pretty slippery slope right now because we're we're openly

220
01:36:08.639 --> 01:36:23.600
discussing something that is not on an agenda and has not been presented to the public yet. And I I think it's worthy of discussion, but I think it needs to either be an agenda item or we need to put this on the agenda for the committee of a whole so that we can have valid discussion.

221
01:36:23.600 --> 01:36:42.320
My apologies. I thought it was a motion was made. So I apologize otherwise I would have said >> Oh. I just want to make sure >> No, I agree with that. I hear what you're saying. I hear what Monica said about a different plan. Um

222
01:36:42.320 --> 01:36:57.600
it's also to echo here. I think this is a hard >> in this environment, but I was just trying to think of what you just you just like the student committee in the hall. Let's come back with some sort of

223
01:36:57.600 --> 01:37:14.400
more direction plan and have the discussion at that meeting. >> Yeah, I do think it's a worthwhile discussion, but I think that we would best suit ourselves if we had it in April time. >> So, but is it his contract ending in July?

224
01:37:14.400 --> 01:37:29.760
>> This contract was voted on and approved by the board as of July 15th. >> So, when's our next meeting that this can be discussed at? So that's I mean we should the board voted and approved

225
01:37:29.760 --> 01:37:46.960
as well as our information. So we do not recommend this position continue. That is money spent towards teachers in uh FOYA was done by our office for years and it can continue to be done by my office. But you also continue to say how

226
01:37:46.960 --> 01:38:04.040
heavily worked your office the administration staff is. It was my own personal work that I did with 4 years before and didn't have a problem and I did not complain about my work at all. I'm happy [snorts] to share that next week.

227
01:38:04.239 --> 01:38:19.840
I understand it's the board's desire and others it is not administration's desire but the board has the right to hire attorney and that we can bring that. >> I hear the majority of the board is willing to look at this and compromise

228
01:38:19.840 --> 01:38:35.119
and something. That's what I hear as as as the board here that we're willing to talk about this so it will work out if it's a special meeting. I don't I don't know what we'll need to do, but

229
01:38:35.119 --> 01:38:54.800
we're not going to put this to the side and we can vote right now. The majority of the board will just pass this but I would like to do it. majority of the court is approving this. >> I hear the majority of support.

230
01:38:54.800 --> 01:39:10.480
>> I don't feel comfortable. We'll have a statement. >> Um I think again that we should go with April and have a discussion even if we have to have a special meeting. >> I like that idea discussion. >> So you might have a special meeting in July. >> Yes.

231
01:39:10.480 --> 01:39:27.440
>> Is there a meeting in July? >> We can call a special meeting in July. >> There's a regular meeting in July >> but not committ. No, we usually give uh because we have the holiday off uh for that time period. We usually do not have a committee of the whole reason why

232
01:39:27.440 --> 01:39:46.880
>> so we can discuss this at our regular board meeting. >> You certainly could put that out as an agenda item at that meeting. >> And what day is that meeting? >> July. >> There isn't a meeting on July to July.

233
01:39:46.880 --> 01:40:08.239
July 23rd is the board of education workshop. >> What is it? >> July 23rd is the board of education. >> Oh, sorry. I'm in June. Hold on. The 27th regular

234
01:40:08.239 --> 01:40:25.119
July 27th. So then we just bring it back at and have the discussion at that meeting. His job would be done on the 15th. We wanted to just re readress the contract.

235
01:40:25.119 --> 01:40:43.360
>> I think the board can certainly hire him as a board attorney after his employment um as a position under the administration can be done. He's not attorney right now at this moment. And I'm not saying

236
01:40:43.360 --> 01:40:59.960
one way or the other, but we need to have a discussion. That's what I'm saying. >> Yeah, for sure. >> And I I like all the input, April's input, everyone's input, and that's what we need. And we need to do it officially, and we need to do it by a motion like April said.

237
01:41:08.320 --> 01:41:27.760
I just think >> we're going to we're going to request to put it on the July 27th meeting. >> That's what I'm too July 27th. >> So we do we need to make a formal

238
01:41:27.760 --> 01:42:07.360
request to put it on July. >> It's already been requested. This is this is the superintendent report and we can more than happy to put it on. There doesn't need to be my first. >> So is the decision to put it on the

239
01:42:08.320 --> 01:42:32.480
That's the request. >> Okay. >> Sorry, I have a future. Um, at the committee of local meeting in the packet, there was a a child and adult food care program or field

240
01:42:32.480 --> 01:42:50.000
procedures and I asked about it. And and I was told that um I wanted to see the review. The field thing was in there accidentally, but I asked to see the review and I was told that that needs to be um something that the board agrees on. I would like that on the agenda for the

241
01:42:50.000 --> 01:43:07.520
next meeting too that I could see >> and I want to um confirm my conversation and that conversation is that the food service to do is done by um charts and that is under the superintendent's purview and if we continue to sidetrack

242
01:43:07.520 --> 01:43:23.679
us from items because we want to continue to do the job of the superintendent then if it takes our time and the things that we need to be focused on such as school safety, achievement, and other items. If the board would like to continue to have us give you all of the grants and all of

243
01:43:23.679 --> 01:43:39.920
the audits that occur, we certainly can if the audit is coming. >> But wasn't it in the board packet on that July 8th meeting? >> No, it was a mistake. >> The board did members asking for it. >> Well, if it was a mistake, it's not that was

244
01:43:39.920 --> 01:43:54.719
not placed in there. It's a letter about how you go about. It was a mistake that I missed seeing and Jamie misunderstood. It was a piece of document. I certainly can send that document. It just tells you how you go about that. >> I've seen the document in our file. >> Yes.

245
01:43:54.719 --> 01:44:12.080
>> So to be clear, the the review completed does not need to be appealed. >> No. >> Okay. >> I guess to see it that decision. So I'm requesting that it go on the agenda for next time so that the board can vote whether I can

246
01:44:16.239 --> 01:44:37.360
Okay. >> Do you want to address what you handed out? >> I I did. Um, thank you. I handed out a draft that we received from Oh, I might just walk on. Thank you, Mr.

247
01:44:37.360 --> 01:44:53.280
Sie. Regarding um our fund should look like. He went to his contacts at the state of Michigan again and they all said this looks like a fabulous um something that should

248
01:44:53.280 --> 01:45:20.159
look like. Um I would like the board to review it and have it on the July 22nd meeting for discussion on things we can add or whatever. Well, the board makes the policies. I

249
01:45:20.159 --> 01:45:40.560
can I can send it to Kevin. The policies that are on the way to being updated and so there may be change that >> I also just want to think about looking around this school district has not had

250
01:45:40.560 --> 01:45:56.000
a 15% balance in over 20ome years um not reached above 10% so this is a as we talked about when I first came a goal it's going to be very difficult for the school district to achieve and you would have to make thous

251
01:45:56.000 --> 01:46:13.199
again this is what was presented to us I'ming the information I'm requesting the board review it come back next week or next month with questions changes that I look through and it's looks good

252
01:46:13.199 --> 01:46:32.159
to me. It's pretty detailed which I think fun should be Mr. has talked to me several times about this fund balance policy. It has came to this board a few times about being part of the protocols. We know Kevin Sutton

253
01:46:32.159 --> 01:46:49.920
was not in favor of putting in policy. So we need to talk about it, discuss it, work it out if it will be a protocol or not. But it is the board's decision, not having and not it is the board's

254
01:46:49.920 --> 01:47:10.000
will that we do what we want to do with our policy. So it will be on the agenda for July. So, um, I went ahead and I corrected the minutes

255
01:47:10.000 --> 01:47:27.119
from March 16th myself and I have a copy for everybody to be discussed at the July I thought it was 27th. I'm not sure if I'm hearing 22nd 27th meeting Dr. Wilk suggested at the last meeting

256
01:47:27.119 --> 01:47:43.360
we have three people. I don't think that um probably the three people wouldn't be um agreeable to the whole group. Anyway, I struggled with that. So, I went ahead. It's mostly Miss Bos what she wrote and

257
01:47:43.360 --> 01:47:59.280
there's some changes. Nobody has seen this except for myself. And so, I'm going to leave it with you. Look it over. You can call me throughout the next month. You can wait till July and I can we can talk about it.

258
01:47:59.280 --> 01:48:22.159
Um, I wanted to just say tomorrow is our self evaluation and I don't think we should have that recorded. Um, I'm sorry. Did you say we're not meeting tomorrow for the evaluation? >> Yes.

259
01:48:22.159 --> 01:48:42.639
>> Oh, recorded. I'm sorry. That was it. And I was going to say best best to the retirees. Hopefully they'll enjoy the retirement and have have some fun out there. Again, congratulations to all the kids, the athletics, the

260
01:48:42.639 --> 01:48:57.360
athletes. Kudos to them. Great job. Anybody else? >> Yes. I would like to say thank you to all the kids in sports, band, choir, all that. extracurricular stuff. It takes a

261
01:48:57.360 --> 01:49:14.560
lot to be able to handle that. Their jobs and their education and um it just amazes me that uh they can do all that and they're going to be tough and they're going to be strong for their future and and good luck to them and I

262
01:49:14.560 --> 01:49:32.960
do appreciate them. Um also thank you to the administrations for uh all the hard work they've done this year. Um, every administrator, every teacher, every parro, every security, every every staff

263
01:49:32.960 --> 01:49:50.159
member in the district is I know what it is. What a relief it is when that last day of school happens. You're like, I can breathe one second and then you have to go into it to get ready for the next year. Um, I do appreciate all of you. I do appreciate the fact that you've given

264
01:49:50.159 --> 01:50:07.119
yourselves to Hazel Park. Um, I was one that gave myself days as a part uh working till 12 11. I know that all of the people out here have done the same and I do appreciate you and um it takes a lot it takes you know a lot for you to

265
01:50:07.119 --> 01:50:26.239
to do what you do. Um and also to get ready for graduation. Um I think we could talk about high school graduation a little bit but that's not until next year. Um but uh the undergraduation was very nice. Um the awards assembly at the

266
01:50:26.239 --> 01:50:43.199
8th grade was very nice. Seventh grade um in the high school was the the speeches were great. Uh the student speeches were wonderful. Uh the the superintendent speech was good. I enjoyed that. Um and I just want to say thank you to each and everyone that's

267
01:50:43.199 --> 01:51:00.480
out there. Um and have a great summer. >> Okay. Um I go through with the athletes. Hearing that we have like just under 300 student athletes is amazing. That means you have 300 students who are keeping themselves busy, keeping up on their grades,

268
01:51:00.480 --> 01:51:16.480
keeping up with sports, who bringing home trophies. They're not doing what other kids are doing that we don't want them to do. They're staying busy and building relationships with their peers and their coaches and sometimes traveling places they've never been to before. Colleges and play games. And I

269
01:51:16.480 --> 01:51:32.800
just think it's awesome. for our students. Um I do want to say congratulations [clears throat] to the retire. Um enjoy or that was a service but enjoy the summer time out. Congrats to

270
01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:48.239
all of us. And then lastly I do want to say that when I acknowledged earlier that let Mr. Becker do what he normally does. He always abstains from he always does his job to the tea from what I can see. So

271
01:51:48.239 --> 01:52:06.440
being a bully is not pulling out certain kids because of certain personal reasons was not in my mind. depression facility. So >> I did not answer you as a bully. Sorry, I did not. It was the audience

272
01:52:12.239 --> 01:52:30.159
and I went to the JRC meetings. They said that they don't think we're going to have a Michigan budget in time and so everybody should write their legislators because July 1 is a couple weeks away and they're talking to November which affects

273
01:52:30.159 --> 01:52:54.080
everybody's school funding and so um >> yeah I would obviously echo the congratulations to the student athletes that were able to come here today of who came back after the school year was done or after they had already graduated for the recognition of his pregnancy. Um I

274
01:52:54.080 --> 01:53:11.440
also would echo trustee boy statements that um representative Paul in the state legislature has uh made known his intention to fund the state through a continuing resolution through the month of November which would be well past his

275
01:53:11.440 --> 01:53:26.960
own deadline for not only securing school aid but the budget. our microphone. Sorry again. Uh but someone knows at least uh that you're anybody who is interested in school funding. Uh there are many other

276
01:53:26.960 --> 01:53:43.920
things that would bleed into school budgets and school funding such as Medicaid expansion, Medicaid resolutions and things like that. Um please do contact your legislators. We have great folks here. So I think we're all pretty confident that our state representatives will um look to move us forward. Uh but

277
01:53:43.920 --> 01:53:59.920
if they press on their colleagues, specifically Representative Paul and let him know that what he's doing is inappropriate and it is harming women's children. Um, I would also like to say I know that during board member comments, um, we can only speak for ourselves, not the whole board. Uh, but without a

278
01:53:59.920 --> 01:54:17.119
resolution, June is also pride month and I would like for our LGBTQ students as well as their families uh, to feel safe and supported in our schools without a resolution and make sure they know that There are members of the district that

279
01:54:17.119 --> 01:54:42.480
stand behind them and we certainly um support their pride and support their continued safety. No, Mrs. Happening at Long Music. >> I would love to. I thought you never asked.

280
01:54:42.480 --> 01:54:58.639
>> That's a the way that Can I Can you also talk about the teeth that you're >> Yes, I know. I like to talk about stuff happening over there. So, last Thursday evening, um, I held my breath till about

281
01:54:58.639 --> 01:55:15.280
6:30, so I didn't know how many people were going to show up, but we did live at Longfellow and, uh, Paul Tissio, who was our youth assistant, uh, person, uh, brought in a couple of his band buddies and they sang. Um, and we had, I'm

282
01:55:15.280 --> 01:55:31.199
guessing around 50 people, including kids. Um, Power Praise made hot dogs. The kids were playing in. All the adults were sitting and kind of debopping. Um, we ate lots of hot dogs. We had so

283
01:55:31.199 --> 01:55:47.920
many hot dogs. We spend at lunch home. It was such a good time. It was so hot, but we had these beautiful trees that kind of the shade just hit the right spot for everybody. It was wonderful. We're talking about doing two more. So, if you're a musician

284
01:55:47.920 --> 01:56:04.560
and you want to come out, we're doing one in July and one in August. So, we'd love to do it. Come see me. I'm over at Lonfo this Thursday from 1 to 4. We're looking to bring some of our teenagers or teenagers if you're listening or parents

285
01:56:04.560 --> 01:56:20.639
of teenagers for a teen parade. It's a safe space. Um, you have to be a Hazel Park student and you have to have your ID. You'll come in the front door. We have little candy bracelets you can make. Um, Promise Zone is providing

286
01:56:20.639 --> 01:56:38.239
pizza and drinks. We have uh t-shirts you can draw on. We have dancing. We have all kinds of stuff for teenagers. So, we're hoping that we get some um 14 to 17 year olds bring your ID. So, both

287
01:56:38.239 --> 01:56:54.080
events, the the one on Thursday night out on Facebook, it said, "I wonder what's happening at Longfellow." And then somebody else said, "Wow, that person's voice is really nice." Well, they really need to do this more often. So, really positive comments. Hopefully,

288
01:56:54.080 --> 01:57:07.920
we'll get the same one about the teenagers. Thank you. >> You're welcome. Thank you. >> That's a good note to close meeting. That's fabulous motion to journ.
