4
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:40.400
proud to celebrate a special milestone for a thousand books before kindergarten. This achievement reflects the dedication of our youngest comets and the parents and caregivers who made reading a daily priority. Reaching a thousand books takes time, consistency, and a strong belief in the power of

5
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:55.680
early literacy, building language, comprehension, and a lifelong love of reading. This program began began in 2014 through a partnership through community education and the Cassen Public Library. Since then, 194 children

6
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:10.479
have enrolled and just 57 have completed the challenge, making it truly a special accomplishment. Congratulations to Leo and Charlotte Forsell. You can come down and their family members who supported

7
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:30.319

Can you tell me how old you are? >> I'm three. >> Do you want to try? Tell me how old you are. >> I'm five. >> Five. So, they did a really nice job

>> Good job. Good evening board and community members. My name is Trent Lang. We're proud to be the high school principal and it is my honor as it is this time of month every month to recognize the students of the month. These students were chosen by a collaboration of staff members who selected kids that are

11
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:35.759
responsible for themselves and others. They are positive role models. They help others in need and they progress very well academically. These students are finishing the year strong. The April students of the month come down one at a time and stay up here for a photo at the end, please. Ninth grade, Macy

12
00:04:35.759 --> 00:05:36.400
Haroldson. 10th grade. A two-time winner tonight, Cameron Cook. th grade Valerie Horseman senior David Ost. I'll read a little extra info about David. Philosophy that he has followed at high

13
00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:51.360
school that's helped him be successful both in school and out school is that he completes tasks as soon as they are given instead of putting them off. Getting things done early feels good and leaves you less stressed. Very wise David philosophy that has helped him be

14
00:05:51.360 --> 00:06:06.400
successful in an outside school. When he's not busy with school, he likes to run. That's not going to surprise anybody. He likes to cook, photograph, play video games, play golf, and go for hikes. He's currently working at Dairy Queen in Byron. Likes making ice cream

15
00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:23.440
and hot food and cleaning tasks. His school activities include track and field, cross country, and jazz band. After high school, he plans to attend the University of Wisconsin Lacrosse to study computer science and compete in track and cross country. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? David said, I

16
00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:39.600
see myself having a stable job in the computer science field. possibly in a role like software development. I want to have flexibility in my job so I can spend time with my future wife and kids as well as make time for personal interests. Finished in strong senior year. David

17
00:06:39.600 --> 00:07:34.240
Ostul. Perfect. All right, here we go. One, two, three. Thank you. All right, good evening. I get to be next here and off for a few more comic coins. Uh, first one, we're going to

18
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:51.039
start out with the girls hockey team. Um, they had another unbelievable season. Um, Coach Gunderson and I get the opportunity of putting kind of the schedule together and I get a lot of help from him because he's got a lot of the hockey connections around the state and um just a incredibly difficult

19
00:07:51.039 --> 00:08:07.759
schedule. But that led to them being very battle tested throughout the year facing double A teams like Minnetonka and several others along with all of the top A teams in the state, excuse me. And so this team had a tremendous battle in

20
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:23.280
the section championship coming back uh from down a couple goals to end up winning three to two to send themselves uh to the Grand Casino Arena once again in the state tournament and where they finished with a third place finish. So I'm going to bring down first Jeremy Gunderson to talk a little bit about his

21
00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:48.320
team. Let's give him a hand. I'll make it short and sweet. I know you got a big agenda tonight. So, first of all, thank you to the Comet uh school staff. Brock, your sports been awesome. Uh school board, thank you guys, especially for picking up the ice bill this year. That's been a huge impact to all the students and their parents. So,

22
00:08:48.320 --> 00:09:04.480
thank you for that. Uh we had another great year. I mean, obviously, we finished 227 and one. Uh took third at state last year. Before that, we were state championship champions. The year before that, we took second. Uh this has been a remarkable group of female athletes on and off the ice. Uh I don't

23
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:21.040
want to keep be here all night, but uh their academics are unreal. The amount of community service they put in is great with the not only for hockey, but for all the community doing a lot of events. So hats off to those guys. They they do all the work. I just can be vocal and put together practice plans. So thanks guys.

24
00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:52.640
>> Yeah. Come on, guys. Um, I'm Macy Cook. I'm a junior this year and I go to Cassid. >> I'm Grace R. I'm a junior and I go to Cass. I'm Kelly Meyer. I'm a senior and I go to Cassid. >> I'm Berkeley Clay and I'm a senior and I

25
00:09:52.640 --> 00:10:07.760
go to Cassid. I'm Faith and I'm a junior and I go to Cass. >> I'm Ashley Braxel. I'm a senior and I go to Cassid. I'm Alexa Van Stratton. I'm a senior and I go to Byron. I'm Nora Smith. I'm a sophomore and I go

26
00:10:07.760 --> 00:11:10.640
to Cassid. Congratulations. >> Wow. All right, here we go. One, two, three. And next up we have the boys hockey team. Uh they were the section 1A champions this year, battling their way

27
00:11:10.640 --> 00:11:27.440
from a a three seed uh defeating the two seed in an exciting semi-final match and then defeating Fair uh sorry Northfield in the in the championship to claim their section title and allowing them also to play at Grand Casino Arena. Um beginning to think that I need to get a

28
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:44.279
little condo downtown St. Paul during the month of end of February, beginning of March. So that's not never a bad thing. So, uh, tonight, uh, we're gonna bring down Coach Nick Davidson and talk a little bit about the team and bring up the guys. Let's give him a hand.

29
00:11:54.800 --> 00:12:10.079
Well, first again, I'd like to echo Jeremy's um you know, comments on thanking you guys um for all the support, especially you know, with the ice build. Um hockeyy's not uh the cheapest sport in the world. So, um all the support you guys have given us um

30
00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:26.639
has really helped families this year. So, um, overall for the season, you know, um, us making state was a surprise to a lot of people. Um, but to our coaching staff, it was something that wasn't a surprise at all. Um, we've known that we've had a really talented group of kids, um, coming in. Um,

31
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:43.440
especially, you know, with our sophomore captain, Cameron Cook's leadership, and then all of our senior class was just huge this year. Um, we've really changed the culture on the board boy side, um, to really help achieve the results that we we had this year. Um, so, um, you

32
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:59.600
know, it's one of those things that everything kind of has to come together. Um, and I think everybody started to buy in about halfway through the season. And then leading us through that back half of the season into the playoffs was our goalie um, duel. Both of our goalies were outstanding the back half of the year. Um, and you know, we wouldn't be

33
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:23.600
where we are without uh, the guys in between the post that uh, take all the shots. So, um, with that, you guys come up. I'm sophomore Cameron Cook and I go to Cassin. >> I'm Sawyer Young and I go to Byron.

34
00:13:23.600 --> 00:14:08.720
>> I'm Peter Lorac and I go to Cassin. >> Cooper baby. I go to Cassin. Parker Kinsley. I go to Byron. I was like girl. All good. >> All right. Here we go. Uh, let's go one step this way. There we go. All right.

35
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:35.120
Refine the window. Here we go. One, two, three. >> Thank you. Good job. All right. Next up, we have the class uh our boys basketball team that uh I think this is the third year in a row, Mr. Inman, if I remember right, but uh that

36
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:52.959
they were also uh the state uh awarded the state academic gold in which they means that they won our section 1A academic champion award for academic progress or process along with their um their entire section of 18. So, um,

37
00:14:52.959 --> 00:15:43.720
right now I can say this award for coach Boschious. And let's bring down the guys. So, the boys team, how many are there? >> Yeah, there's a few at au practice and a couple at track. So, come on down. Good job. >> Thank you very much.

38
00:15:51.519 --> 00:16:08.320
All right, I better get the box ready for the next one. Um, next one is for FCCLA. Uh, they had huge number of state participants and going on to national convention here in a little bit. And so I'm going to bring down two of our middle school adviserss, Jenna Welch and

39
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:31.360
Amy Prestold. So let's give them a hand. Hi, I'm Jenna Welch. I'm one of the middle school adviserss and Amy is my trusty handy handy woman here. Um we currently have 101 members this year um in FDCLA. So any of these students being recognized tonight are um have done such

40
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:47.199
a great job promoting leadership, building character, and doing all the service activities that um we do throughout the year. So we're super proud of all of the things that they've accomplished. um through students taking action with recognition our STAR events um I describe that usually as a science

41
00:16:47.199 --> 00:17:02.959
fair but with family consumer science as their background um they've topped in the placed in the top two throughout the whole state of Minnesota in each of their categories. So it's a huge accomplishment to get that bid to go to nationals um and nationals this year is in Washington DC in July. So when I call

53
00:21:35.280 --> 00:21:51.440

57
00:23:34.400 --> 00:24:13.760
>> All right. You hear one. Hello. My name is Alyssa Swanson and I am the owner and staff handler for B's over here. He's a three-year-old mini golden doodle. And then my name is Ally Persik and I'm

58
00:24:13.760 --> 00:24:29.600
the owner and staff handler for Roi. Roi is a 4-year-old English lab. Bo enjoys coming to school with me each day. He is primarily housed out of my high school DCD and transition classroom. While here at school, Bo has been able to interact with many students

59
00:24:29.600 --> 00:24:44.960
and staff throughout the district. One is one of his favorite places to visit is the elementary school. We've been able to visit many classrooms bringing activities such as books, themed coloring pages, holiday bingo, and more. Students from my classroom accompany Bo and I on these visits. This experience

60
00:24:44.960 --> 00:25:01.039
has not only brought joy, but has been a remarkable learning opportunity for all the students involved as well. Uh, Roi enjoys coming to the school with um to the high school with me. He comes a few times a week. Um, he's housed out of my high school resource room. Um he's

61
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:16.480
been supporting students with needs in the areas of reading, math, executive functioning. Hey Roie, sit. Sit. Um executive functioning and social emotional skills. Um while at school, he's been a companion while students

62
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:31.520
have been working on their academic tasks when in the resource room and during small groupoup lessons. He's also helped motivate students to complete well-being activities like going to the gym or taking laps around the building. um just to get to move their bodies. He

63
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:48.240
also has supported students as they process emotions and are experiencing um some like higher maybe demands when it comes to school tasks. And then he's given some motivation and incentive to complete difficult assignments from the general education classes. Um oh sorry

64
00:25:48.240 --> 00:26:05.200
here Roie also visited a couple of general education classrooms before tests or just before the start of a class. He's also greeted many students and staff in the hallway on his days off at schools. You can tell he wants to say hi to everybody. Um, and he h like the smiles and just like connection that

65
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:21.840
comes from the greetings has been really amazing to see. >> Yeah, go ahead. >> All right. As you'll see when you look at the presentation up on the board, you can see in the pictures and quotes scrolling that our dog that having dogs

66
00:26:21.840 --> 00:26:38.000
in our school has brought us a has brought a lasting impact and will be a positive memory. our students and staff will look back on for years to come. Thanks for your continued support of our school resource dog program and we hope that the impact and reach of this

67
00:26:38.000 --> 00:27:02.159
program continues for years to come. If there's any questions questions for us, we'd be happy to share more. >> I have a question. How do you time or do you um like so it's a regular visit to the elementary school or is it just kind of a special treat that comes with a

68
00:27:02.159 --> 00:27:17.840
lot? >> Yeah, so within my program we have a lot of moving parts. We're out in the community a lot and so we're able to build in some time where we can go to the elementary school. I usually take two to three students from my class and they often read to the class while I

69
00:27:17.840 --> 00:27:33.440
walk around um and interact with the students and staff in those rooms. I send open slots each month and teachers can kind of sign up on a first come first-s serve basis. Some months I'll say if you had one last month, let others have a turn. But pretty much every class um that has wanted us has

70
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:57.279
had us at least once, some more than >> Thank you. Have a rough day. Spend time with the puppy. >> Good advice. >> Have you guys considered therapy goats? Oh boy.

71
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:30.159
>> B is the only reason I come to school every day. >> A student told me that today. >> I don't know why some of them turned. Sorry. >> He's my best friend. >> Oh boy. Yeah, Roie came in over summer school

72
00:28:30.159 --> 00:29:00.600
and kids read a story about dogs to him. So, that was really cool to see him. He just kind of crashes out on the couch as all that's happening. >> Thank you. >> Can I come say hi really quick? >> Yeah. We'll never get back.

73
00:29:09.679 --> 00:29:36.919
>> What the kids come to school? All right, on to 3.3 which is the uh autonomous presentation robotic team. So everybody wore their safety glasses. >> Are they coming in? >> They usually come in. Yeah.

74
00:29:49.440 --> 00:30:59.120
Happy. >> Yeah. Thank you. Oh, is there one on this side? >> It might be on the other side. >> Thank you. Okay. >> Where am I putting this door up?

75
00:30:59.120 --> 00:31:17.039
>> Okay, I can start. So, we're the KM Auto Autonauts Rob the robotics team here. And we're just going to give you a little recap of what we've done so far this year. So, to start the year, we go to the elementary school with the second graders to help out with the STEM day. And this is our group who did that. We

76
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:33.200
first give them a little talk about what you can do in robotics and the opportunities that they'll have in the future to get involved in STEM and other things like that. And then we give them a demonstration of a mousetrap box car and then they get to make one on their own. And here's some fun pictures we have of them racing them. and making them together.

77
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:49.840
And then after that, our season starts in January. At the beginning of the year, we get a video that's released about what the game is. This year, it's called Rebuilt because it's kind of based off a bunch of past year's games. And this is what the field looks like this year. These are the game pieces, and we can see a bunch of them in the

78
00:31:49.840 --> 00:32:05.840
robot there. Robots go pick them up, and then they score them in this this hub here, like kind of like a basketball hoop, and that's how you earn points. So, we always start the year writing out a bunch of stuff like how we can score points, what we should focus on for

79
00:32:05.840 --> 00:32:22.159
scoring points, and start drawing up ideas for what we should have on our robot. And then we start designing those pieces and testing them. And here are some pictures of this is like an intake design and we're working on it again. And this is like our final intake design over here.

80
00:32:22.159 --> 00:32:38.360
Here's our shooter. And here's one of the another part of the intake design. Um, here are some videos of testing those parts. There's the shooter in the gym.

81
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:57.760
Here is our intake moving up and down because you need to stay within the frame when you first start the game, but then it needs to go out to actually pick up balls from the ground. Here's our intake. And then here's our climber that we didn't end up using that much because it

82
00:32:57.760 --> 00:33:13.440
wasn't a big part of the game, but we still made we still made it and tested it on our separate bot just in case it fell and we didn't want to break our robot that we had. And then here are photos from our competition this year.

83
00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:30.320
And here's a video of what one of those competitions would look like. >> In three, TWO, ONE, GO. >> THAT'S REALLY LOUD. >> Here's our robot. away. Match 52 >> and we're scoring. >> And there's >> heavy on the red side, almost as heavy

84
00:33:30.320 --> 00:33:52.399
on the blue side. >> And that's what one of the matches kind of looks like. >> Yeah. So for this year, this was our first time being an alliance captain. And that means we are ranked high enough after all of our qualification matches to

85
00:33:52.399 --> 00:34:09.119
actually pick our teammates for our alliance because each alliance has two other robots on it along with ours. And then you work together as a team to score points. Overall, we finished in fourth place, our alliance did, and then we were third in our section and 43rd in state. We also use some advanced vision

86
00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:26.079
and control systems. >> Yeah. So, I'm Scott. I'm a senior. I'm the main programmer. Um, we have this little camera. I don't know if you how well you guys can see it down here on the front of our robot. It, uh, it's called a limelight. They basically look at mini QR codes and send information back about like how far off you are from

87
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:43.119
it. Um, we use that to have this hood right here be adjustable so that it could go to different angles depending on where we were at on the field. like we were up close, we found it really easy to have it basically shoot straight up at high speeds and then they'll just go in the bucket. Um, we also used the

88
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:57.760
limelight, not too much, but a little later on to make it so that our robot would like rotate around that big central like bucket that we were shooting into. Again, we didn't utilize that very much, but uh that was another thing we got working, which was pretty cool.

89
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:13.359
>> Yep, it's pretty cool. And then we also used some scouting software that one of our past team members developed. And I'll just show a little bit of what that looks like. It would give us information for every team we had. Everyone would be assigned like times to scout their teams

90
00:35:13.359 --> 00:35:30.240
and put in information about them in each match they had. And we had a match interface where could predict who wins and all that stuff. It's pretty cool. And then of course we want to thank all of our sponsors that really helped out a lot this year. is we're all big ones,

91
00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:47.440
some big sponsors this year. And then here's our team photo. >> And then now we're gonna do a little demonstration. >> Actually, our laptop is dead. >> Oh, never mind. >> And last robotics fashion, our laptop when we were like loading in here was at

92
00:35:47.440 --> 00:36:04.240
about 9% and it just decided, yeah, that's good enough for me. >> So shooting again. The entire time we were waiting out there, it was barely going down. I was like, "Oh, we'll have the perfect amount of battery make it through this and be fine."

93
00:36:04.240 --> 00:36:20.720
>> Yeah. No, I just decided it's done. >> Well, that's the wrong one. It's okay. >> I got I got a question for you. >> Yep. >> How many man hours did it take to build that? Put it all together because >> I knew I knew that was coming, but I just I figured it's been a lot of after school, a lot of time.

94
00:36:20.720 --> 00:36:37.680
>> Yeah. Once the season starts, we're all in here pretty much consistently from like 3 to 7 or 8 and it gets even later when we get closer to competition. >> So, we spend a lot of time working on >> Well, thank you guys.

95
00:36:37.680 --> 00:36:54.079
>> Oh, you have more questions? >> Yeah, sounds good. >> We always have questions. >> Okay, I guess I can start. So, I truly appreciate this program. 30 years ago I was got to be part of a team like this and I know that uh it takes many

96
00:36:54.079 --> 00:37:08.800
different uh people with different talents. Um what I like to do is go through everybody and let let me know what talent you thought you brought to the team most. >> So I mean I'll start and we'll circle back up to them. I said it before, I'll say it again. I was like the main

97
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:26.320
programmer. So I'm the one that got the robot to do all of those functions outside of the mechanical stuff. All the behind the scenes behind the scenes work. What did you do, Decker? >> Yeah, Decker, tell us.

98
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:41.119
>> I'm the driver. So, I'm the main driver on the field. I move the robot around and orient it. And then we also have Wesley's not here today, but he was the secondary driver, which he moved. He didn't take down like you saw in the video. He like picked it up and he was

99
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:59.520
the one to like fire the shots. I'm Nora and I do a lot of the electrical work on the robot. >> I'm Oliver. I a lot of mechanical work in the intake. >> I did a lot of mechanical and work

100
00:37:59.520 --> 00:38:15.440
I did a lot of metal work. >> Oh, I'm Peter. I did like in charge of building the climber. I'm Logan. I helped him out a lot and I also did a lot of

101
00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:38.960
>> and scouting. >> I'm part of the media. Can you take pictures and draw pictures? >> I'm Lucy. I basically did the same thing as >> I'm Audrey and everyone usition. >> I'm Luke. I hope the human players on

102
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:56.480
the field that I get some scouting. >> I'm a human player. So I basically shoot the ball. >> I'm Elliot. I did a lot of a bit of everything in the building stage and when we're at a competition scouting

103
00:38:56.480 --> 00:39:25.280
>> I'm managed that. So when you guys started into this into this program um how many of you maybe didn't realize there was a facet of this particular type of work and maybe that maybe steer you towards something you want to pursue in a

104
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:47.760
career. >> You guys get an A. >> Anyone else questions? >> Okay, I have a question. The software that you guys were using that was developed by a student, what student and how long ago was that? That was super impressive. >> So, that was Ethan Bruner. He was a

105
00:39:47.760 --> 00:40:03.280
senior just last year. >> Okay. >> And he he made that like completely open source so other teams were allowed to use it and customize it to like their needs and stuff. It's really cool. >> So impressive. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Did it really you guys utilized it? >> Yeah.

106
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:20.079
Especially because we were on our own alliance captain. So we had to choose other teammates and we had to know what teammates were good to pick and like were going to score good and work well with us. So it was really it was a really big part of our season this year. >> Yeah. That's awesome. just like never left that spreadsheet.

107
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:39.280
>> That's awesome. >> I think one of the things they're not saying is that they didn't have the best start of the competition either and they had to really work hard on that robot after every >> uh our first day in like a half hour

108
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:55.440
robot would not move. Um, and we we had we had gone up with it working everything about it. I would say everything about it completely worked, but it worked to like as good as it could get before competition. We got there, did like a match with it working,

109
00:40:55.440 --> 00:41:10.240
and then the rest of the time the robot stopped. >> Yeah, we were working with a lot of technical guys, working at like figuring out. We had some hardware issues, I think. >> Yeah, it was honestly a bit of everything. Yeah,

110
00:41:10.240 --> 00:41:47.760
>> that's what impressive one failed. >> He scored 80 points alone in one match. Yeah, he was scoring as many points per game. There's like a stat we had of like the average points per game. Um, Mac was his EPA because it's estimated average >> point average.

111
00:41:47.760 --> 00:42:05.920
>> Yeah, Mac's EPA was about the same as like the fifth ranked bot overall. Him alone. on top of that performance. >> We can't shoot half the game, too. So, Mac was only shooting proportionally. >> Yeah,

112
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:39.599
>> it was just It's a lot of depth over where there a lot of it. >> It kind of highlights, you know, there's technical skill and you guys are all really clear about your roles and responsibility, but how dynamic and adaptable you all are too and the way you're even describing it now. It's very

113
00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:54.079
positive and you're highlighting everyone's strengths and I think that's super impressive. There's like massive corporations that can't figure out how to do that on a team. So, congratulations you guys. That's >> another thing too with this team

114
00:42:54.079 --> 00:43:11.040
leader of it still by >> you go to the competition a lot of the teams you see the adults when they come back the adults go in to work on robots and the kids back off let the adults do it there's really not on that so see

115
00:43:11.040 --> 00:43:26.480
these guys where it's just kids working on it you know Chris and the other mentors are there for advice but it's the kids working on it We have a team member. >> We have a team member who actually would take try to get photos of him posing in

116
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:45.040
front of these people showing the adults working on it so that he could come to our teams and be like, "Hey guys, look, at least we're doing better than these people." >> We had a rule during the build even touched the part. >> That's awesome.

117
00:43:45.040 --> 00:44:01.280
>> Quick question. Is anybody wanting to go on to get like a mechanical engineering degree? >> How about electrical engineering degree? >> My one piece of advice, >> they're very similar in nature and I wish I would have done dual. A lot a lot mechanical and electrical do end up doing dual and there's not too many

118
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:17.280
classes separating. So if you go off and do it, do it. >> All right. Awesome. >> If I did have that opportunity to speak speak in front of some business leaders, area business leaders in Rochester and uh some of those members were talking about, you know, different programs and I started talking about robotics. So, I

119
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:32.640
got a chance to pray on you guys a little bit. But also, it's like when I started talking about the different skill sets you guys need to know, um it just it just popped up. They're like, "Oh, they want to hear more." But I think when I said this is 100% studentled, they were really impressed. So, great job guys. Keep it up. And most

120
00:44:32.640 --> 00:45:38.720
of you guys probably be back next year. You ladies got to follow that now. That's right. I've seen him pass that wall before. >> All right, we'll move on to the student school board representative report. Uh, ladies, take it away. Good evening, school board, and thank

135
00:49:49.520 --> 00:50:04.960
>> Yeah, >> we're really excited. >> Of course. I feel like we're going to blink and it's going to be somewhere. >> Reese, was it weird to talk about yourself in third person on that presentation? >> A little bit. A little bit. Is that how to do that? Um last week too about

136
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:23.040
announcing open the intercom through like send off. So >> yeah, it's always fun. It's a good skill. >> I just want to say congratulations again. It's awesome. Best of luck, too. >> Yeah, all of that sounded good. You guys cover so much. It can be overwhelming.

137
00:50:23.040 --> 00:50:47.520
It's amazing how many activities are going and and how well all of our teams are doing. It feels so good to hear. So, we really appreciate you guys sharing that with us. >> Thank you, ladies. Good night. Moving on 3.5 approval of resolution of acceptance of gifts and grants

138
00:50:47.520 --> 00:51:01.920

150
00:54:10.720 --> 00:54:26.960
our community is um with our school and all of our systems. Um I also had one question. Every uh regular schoolboard meeting, we see donations to the comment pantry. Where can um people find like what they're accepting or what they're needing? Is that posted somewhere? Do we

151
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:42.800
share that? >> Reach out to the guidance office. I can put something together. They're trying to be, you know, accepting of generosity, but they're very careful to not have it turn into a saver style drop off.

152
00:54:42.800 --> 00:55:00.720
>> No, no. I'm thinking like if they post their needs, what they're low on or what they're short on, and then people community have more opportunity to donate. >> I just haven't seen it. But it is wonderful. I see donations to it. So, all the time. >> Yeah, I'll talk to you about that. All

153
00:55:00.720 --> 00:55:19.920
right, we have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor say I. Same sign. Motion carries. On to board committee reports. Um public input tonight was your Mr. Stock I

154
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:35.520
believe was the chair of that. >> Nobody. >> Nobody. Okay. And then on to the committees that have met since uh student activities. Miss Hayatt is not here. So Mr. Stockard or Mr. Ryan want to give us that.

155
00:55:35.520 --> 00:56:03.040
>> We didn't miss something. >> March 23rd. >> Can I make it up? Zed did meet though. I'll bring it in. Okay. Um Zed's been busy uh lots of things. They're amazing at um letting us

156
00:56:03.040 --> 00:56:19.200
use their facilities for different things and recently they um were a part of the Comet Crunch volleyball tournament um that multiple districts played in. Um let's see. Ring the bell.

157
00:56:19.200 --> 00:56:39.359
>> Yeah. everything else together. >> Um they just finished that traveling art show that travels through all the districts and shows a lot of the students art which is really cool. Um on April 10th was the Zed Science Fair with which had over 144 projects. Um it was

158
00:56:39.359 --> 00:56:56.000
very organized. Um they always need judges just to shout out if anyone's interested. Um they do have an activity day coming up at Steuartville on May 7th and then the ALC graduation will be at Zed. Uh you're all invited to attend May

159
00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:17.240
27th at 4 PM in their gym. Oh, and they also the minutes are attached there um approved the contract for their license staff which they wait for all member districts to be finished with theirs. So they were really happy to get that done for us. Any

160
00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:34.799
questions? >> We did have an activities meeting. Sorry, but it's pretty short, so it wasn't a whole lot in there. Sorry. That's why I >> kind of zoned out there for a second. It was most the history of the committee and we talked about the softball field trying to work in the fence repair. Haven't heard an update on that, but I

161
00:57:34.799 --> 00:57:50.960
think >> we are having a follow-up meeting on May 1, a meeting with the boosters as well. So I think we've talked about that before and we talked about updating the scoreboards for the baseball and softball field and then updating policy 412 which or 0.1 which is the um reimbursement for like travel right and

162
00:57:50.960 --> 00:58:07.040
it was mostly just a line on how we I can't exact details on it but there's something we had to move align how we actually fund >> um some things but there there wasn't too much other than that. >> Good job.

163
00:58:07.040 --> 00:58:22.960
>> We have to pull up the agenda. >> Yeah. And it gets hard for you because we talk about a lot of those things at land facilities as well. >> And so that meeting definitely was a repeat at land facilities because it needed to be. Yes. So that's that makes it difficult as well.

164
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:40.000
>> Okay. Um any questions for Aaron? Uh second community ed M Armstrong isn't here and I don't put that on next month or the next month's meeting or if carrier or

165
00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:56.240
any comments on that >> she covers up on that if you'd like >> our advis advisory council met for the last and final meeting of this year we usually meet four times and we mostly went over um our upcoming surveys that we're going to be putting out community

166
00:58:56.240 --> 00:59:13.119
needs assessment and our school readiness parent survey. We also discussed our um ADA compliance and accessibility things that we're working on through the next year because it's a little bit more complex in community ed with um the way we use marketing tools and websites and different things like

167
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:29.040
that. So, we were glad to hear of the extension as well. And then we also discussed um some software possibilities for changes that um I'm working with Braa and the activities department as well um because we might be doing some changing as a conference and so then

168
00:59:29.040 --> 00:59:43.680
that would affect community education as well. So we talked about what that could look like for us. And then lastly we did actually a committee brainstorming session. So we spent time really kind of digging into some of the experiences that we offer, what we wish we would

169
00:59:43.680 --> 01:00:00.400
offer. um if we had no budget constraints or space constraints, what it would look like. We talked about all those things. Is there any groups we're not currently serving and um few different new ideas? And then we all kind of shared out some final thoughts. So that was kind of a fun exercise to

170
01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:20.880
finish the year up. >> Is that brainstorming session available for board members? You have notes on that? >> We do. Um Katie took notes, so I don't actually have her notes yet, but yes, we can we can share them with you. Right. Any questions from Miss Carrier?

171
01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:41.200
>> Thanks for coming. >> Um yeah, legislative superintendent communications. >> Right. I I don't need to repeat the things that are already on there. Um like our representative said, it's been busy. Um I was able to go to the FFA

172
01:00:41.200 --> 01:00:58.000
convention. Um they had a VIP um section for um superintendents and principles and to um learn more about CTE. Um but there is nothing more proud than walking watching our amazing um FFA participants. I mean they speak so well.

173
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:14.720
They represent us so well. I I was in complete awe. And then came home from that and went to the Curious Savage and again just an amazing to see our community come together and use that that um beautiful pack center is is fun. And then I happened to have a C although

174
01:01:14.720 --> 01:01:29.680
we're not calling it C meetings anymore. What do we staff is what we are now. So I went to that meeting and on the way home I was able to stop at state speech and to be greeted by the students miss cases here. Um it just made my heart so happy. So, um, I've made it really

175
01:01:29.680 --> 01:01:46.160
intentional trying to get to things that aren't just sporting activities, and I think the kids really appreciate that. So, that's not in my report, but if you see me buzzing around those activities, that's the why, because when you see kids in robotics, they may not be in an activity. And it's important that they

176
01:01:46.160 --> 01:02:01.280
feel um as represented as everyone else. So, um, yeah, that's what I've got. And I I should have said this when Reese um was here, but our participant that got seventh place at state, just to put that in perspective, I had one of the coaches

177
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:19.280
put together some stats. That's 250 kids that are in creative expression in the state of Minnesota. To be at that level, to have a seventh place finisher, I mean, it's it's just people don't realize the number of kids that are in

178
01:02:19.280 --> 01:02:35.640
speech. Minnesota ranks one of the highest states um with speech participants. So she didn't just beat out 20 other kids, she beat out a category of 250 participants. So hats off to Savannah.

179
01:02:37.040 --> 01:02:53.359
>> Any questions or comments for >> I just want to highlight you are everywhere all at once. It is always so impressive and thank you for your constant updates on social media. It's kind of fun to see where you're at, what you're doing. And um even like recently,

180
01:02:53.359 --> 01:03:16.559
I think you were in a classroom and had a fun picture of the students. So, thank you for all of that. It's so important. >> All right. Uh moving on to 3.8. Those are personnel information items only. Look at those. Any questions, comments

181
01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:50.240
on those? If not 3.9 admin leadership reports any comments or questions for our ads. I liked in um our special education department the highlight of April as recognized as world autism month and it

182
01:03:50.240 --> 01:04:06.720
talked a lot about not just accept or not just awareness but acceptance. Um acceptance encourages society to move beyond simply recognizing to actively embracing neurodiversity and creating environments where individuals feel valued, supported and included. Um so I

183
01:04:06.720 --> 01:04:28.079
appreciate you putting that in there and I feel like that's our goal for every student. It's really important not just to spread awareness but full acceptance feel like all of our students belong. >> I had a question for the middle school the uh all day um advisory. What exactly

184
01:04:28.079 --> 01:04:43.280
>> is that? Is that for all the students? >> That is for all of our students. I inherited this seven years ago when I came in. And um so comment time, it's just just a day in May that they spent together. Um different from community

185
01:04:43.280 --> 01:05:01.920
service. It's just basically a day of fun. Um there's connections, they walk around, they go to the park. It's just basically a a fun day for them and our staff. So, and Mr. L. And then I think I was reading through you guys have the the health awareness

186
01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:18.960
for the high school. Is that correct? >> Mental >> mental health aware awareness. >> Yeah. >> Ju just out of curiosity because I feel like I've read some articles and looked into it. When you guys do these classes and lessons, do you guys ever talk about like the so many kids are using AI for help but also the dangers of you know

187
01:05:18.960 --> 01:05:35.760
the path that AI can lead? Is that built in or >> No, it's not. We've talked about that a little bit as a staff. we have a group that's kind of digging into AI and that was kind of new to us as a concept and so >> is I feel like there's been a couple big law lawsuits some of the big AI companies with you know awful things

188
01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:51.680
happening with kids and you know it's just they they get into these traps and you know they're designed to keep you coming back. So some of the information they're feeding you is not healthy information. >> Yeah. >> It's kind of scary. You kind of wonder if that's been brought up or a subject we need to start bringing up the kids.

189
01:05:51.680 --> 01:06:13.359
I'm not sure if any of the providers at that wellness fair may will address that or not, but it's something we just briefly talked about. >> Just curious. >> Thanks for bringing that up, Baron. I know that's an issue in education everywhere. It's interesting because at

190
01:06:13.359 --> 01:06:30.480
the school board annual meeting there was so much on it and how it's challenging in curriculum and challenging in so many areas but also I read an article that said that uh like chat GBT is mostly utilized for mental health not just with students but for

191
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:46.240
just humans which is so interesting. Therapy is not cheap. No, but I think there have been a couple major lawsuits recently where kids lost lost their lives and you know when parents dug into it essentially the AI chatbot continued them down this dark

192
01:06:46.240 --> 01:07:02.160
dark path and you know >> encouraged them not to go you know one of them was it encouraged the kid not to talk to his mother bring up his feelings to his mother or talk to his parents about it and to keep it quiet so I mean I think it's something that's you know >> it can help but also I think it'd be really dangerous and I think kids need to be aware that

193
01:07:02.160 --> 01:07:24.720
>> yeah it's a it's a real issue. All right. Any other questions or comments for our admin team? >> Well, thank you admins. We do appreciate it. This is how we as board members get a glimpse into the daily lives of the

194
01:07:24.720 --> 01:07:50.400
education system. Thank you. Good night. Okay, moving on to the consent agenda. Is that a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> Try

195
01:07:50.400 --> 01:08:10.240
me. Any any discussion on that? >> I know I think I've asked this before, but We're voting on the you know we're voting on which things easy to vote on but why are we always voting every month in the enrollment I guess what what what are we actually are we just acknowledging that we see the enrollment

196
01:08:10.240 --> 01:08:26.159
numbers >> it wouldn't have to be on there but it's a really nice place to put it otherwise where would you put it on a >> I wasn't I was just kind of curious >> it wouldn't have to be I just I know it's kind of an easy place to find it you know when you're looking for enrollment numbers each month

197
01:08:26.159 --> 01:08:44.319
it's pretty common place to put it under the consent agenda Right. Any other questions or comments >> on the on the Roman numbers? I did have one small question and I noticed that there's um from uh I think it's the

198
01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:59.920
seniors their numbers go down by about 15 people. Is it from early graduation or >> It is what I figured. That's what I figured. But I just wanted to make sure that was my right thought process. >> Funny that Bob and I just spoke about that today. Yeah, I think the number was 11 if I remember right.

199
01:08:59.920 --> 01:09:16.000
>> 13. There's a a row right at the bottom there, Eric, that shows the early grads. >> Early GR. I didn't see that. I didn't see that. I'm sorry. No, >> was the online partnership. That's nice. >> Yeah, I that was new. I had noticed

200
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:33.359
that. >> Yeah, that's awesome. >> And it's growing. >> We don't want it to grow. I would love them to be here. Um, so it's great that they found an option and a way to graduate, but um, we want to

201
01:09:33.359 --> 01:09:51.920
make sure that we're always getting the kids here if we can >> a people. So, it's adaptable of us. >> And when we look at graduation rates, we want to make sure that our kids are graduating. So, >> good. >> I got that. >> Thank you. >> You bet. >> If there's no further questions, all

202
01:09:51.920 --> 01:10:06.800
those in favor say I. I >> the same sign. >> Motion carries. On to action items. Old business. This will be the second read for all those policies. I'm sure everybody read every word of

203
01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:22.960
those, but policy committee pretty much uh we talked about it before. There's no maybe changes in so feel free to review those. Um so I will be taking a motion to to

204
01:10:22.960 --> 01:10:41.040
approve the second read of those policies. >> I'll second motion. You want to make a motion? >> I'll motion. >> Thank you. Make motion. Second. Do I have a second? >> I have a second. >> Thank you, Mr. We have a motion in a second. Any further discussion on those?

205
01:10:41.040 --> 01:10:56.320
>> I just want to back up because I think you said it last meeting, which is nice. We pay MSBA money and their lawyers are constantly reviewing the policies. So, a lot of the changes that do come in are policies that their lawyers align with the state to keep us

206
01:10:56.320 --> 01:11:13.640
>> really Yes, it's worth every penny. Um, that's why you get the red lines, you get all the the changes. I mean, every single thing has been reviewed by legal counsel. It really does keep a board safe to make sure your policies are good for your district. I agree.

207
01:11:16.159 --> 01:11:34.480
>> Right. Not yet. >> That's right. We got a motion for second. There we go. All those in favor say I. >> I. Same sign. Motion carries. >> On to new business. We have a few of these here. There's

208
01:11:34.480 --> 01:11:52.360
about seven of them. Um the first one I'll be taking a motion to approve 5.2.1 and that is the retired camp teacher daily self pay increase from 150 to 175 beginning in 26 27 school year.

209
01:11:53.520 --> 01:12:09.920
>> Oh, I was going to ask, will you um talk about that a little bit? Is it only for retired camp teachers this increase? >> Right. The I'm really trying hard to figure out why we have some shortages in the subbing area. And so I've been trying to reach out to the people that are on our list because if everyone on

210
01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:25.760
our list was to sub all the time, we wouldn't have any issues. And some of them have just said, "I can go to Rochester and sub for $200. I would rather sub in KM because that's where I'm comfortable." Um, and so a lot of districts recognize

211
01:12:25.760 --> 01:12:41.040
your retirees. They know where the lunchroom is. They know the policies. They know your security procedures. There's a lot of value add um to try to entice them um if they know their buildings to come back and be able to set up the building. It's very common to

212
01:12:41.040 --> 01:12:55.760
give a kind of a a different amount to those people that um have retired from the district. >> So I think I can I think here in Rochester there's more than that for retirement because I think it's like almost 200 for just average. So >> what I'm saying is if they're here they're going to Rochester and getting

213
01:12:55.760 --> 01:13:11.360
$200. Um we are just keep in mind we're following suit. A lot of the districts in the area are doing this exact same thing tonight. We're really trying to kind of entice them. I if you look at it, they're here eight hours and if you divide that out, you know, we we really

214
01:13:11.360 --> 01:13:29.040
have to encourage them to come out and sub. So, >> yeah. >> All right, we have a motion and a second on that one. All those in favor say I. >> We don't. >> You jumped the gun because there's only three of them. So,

215
01:13:29.040 --> 01:13:46.480
>> I'll motion to approve. >> Same people. >> We have second, Mr. Mr. miss a second. Okay. Any further discussion on the subday? >> Just one last question. Do you believe that that even $25 is enough or do you think in the future or do you I realize

216
01:13:46.480 --> 01:14:02.400
you're trying to be conservative but I mean >> I get it. I mean if I was >> I think I I think I will be coming back to next fall. >> Um I have a couple other ideas that I want to continue to try and but I think there's a possibility that you will see another increase possibly by fall. We

217
01:14:02.400 --> 01:14:18.400
have to be competitive. We're on the 14 corridor. They will drive 10 miles to go sub somewhere else. So, um I think this will help. I know two of them that will come now with this amount. That'll help. >> I think it's a a very good start.

218
01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:36.880
>> Just trying to trying to stay in the game. >> Just see measure gives you measure where you are. >> Great question though. >> I think we're ready for a vote. >> I think so. >> All in favor say I. I >> post same sign motion carries

219
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:54.239
>> 5.2.2 approved community survey final draft. Did everybody get a chance to take a look at that? Everybody get a chance for input? I thought it looked fine. Great. >> Yeah, we had six six variations and great job. Everyone sent things in. Um we had the administrative team, we had

220
01:14:54.239 --> 01:15:09.520
you guys. I mean there's a lot out there. I'm excited. Um I hope that you move forward with this. I think it's exciting to see where our community stands on a lot of different topics. Um, this will help guide some of these next work sessions coming in. So, it is my recommendation to approve the final

221
01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:26.480
draft unless there's any questions. >> I have a question. I also have a comment. This looked very impressive. It was very concise. It was easy to understand. It was very well done. Um, my question is how are we planning to send it out? I know that we are probably

222
01:15:26.480 --> 01:15:41.840
like mailing. >> It's a postcard. Um it'll have the scan on it. Um so there'll be other locations they can get that. Um they can request a full survey if you know if they they would email Carlin. Um say they want something bigger, whatever. But the the

223
01:15:41.840 --> 01:15:57.040
initial will go out in a postcard um format. It'll be mailed out May third. >> Uh anyway, but it's the most people use the scan. >> Okay, >> awesome. And then are we going to share

224
01:15:57.040 --> 01:16:12.320
that on socials or how are we going to promote that so that there's good participation in it? How >> Yeah, it it'll go to every single resident whether you have a student here or not, those kinds of things. So, it should have pretty good coverage. Every other district that I've done the survey and the results are good,

225
01:16:12.320 --> 01:16:29.040
>> really good. Um, and they they know how many they have to get in to make sure that they've got a good representation. >> Um, that's why there's so much detail on different um, you know, genders and age and do you have kids in a school, do you not? Do you work here, do you not? Um those kinds of things. So I think you'll

226
01:16:29.040 --> 01:16:49.760
be really surprised by the data we get back. Um there's no bad data. It's just data that we will have to, you know, take a work session and walk through. >> Thank you. >> Of course. >> Any more discussion or questions?

227
01:16:49.760 --> 01:17:06.000
If not, >> I motion to approve. We already did. You had a motion to do a second. >> That was the last one. >> That was the last one. >> See, it's hard. >> Which one did you second? >> He just motioned for this one. >> Okay. All right. We have a motion on the

228
01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:23.600
table to approve by Mr. Aaron. And we have a second from Miss Kate. Um, if there's no other discussion, all those in favor state I. I. I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. Now on to 5.2.3.

229
01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:40.960
It's a approval resolution relating to the non of appropriationary teachers contract. Miss Nicholson. Do I have a motion to approve? I'll make that motion. Do I have a second? >> Thank you. We have any discussion on

230
01:17:40.960 --> 01:17:57.440
that? >> We'll need a roll call vote. >> Can we just talk about the next uh the next Just a brief overview. >> Mark, can I try? Oh, you want >> just a brief what we're doing here? >> You bet. >> Yeah. Um, so every year you want to make

231
01:17:57.440 --> 01:18:12.880
sure you've got the right amount of sections u for students that are currently here. We use projection models as much as we can. Um, we don't know for sure, for example, the first one, how many kindergarten students we're going to have. We know how many we have registered today, and that's for six

232
01:18:12.880 --> 01:18:29.840
sections. Do we hope for a seven? Of course. Um other things on here would be um a physical education classes um do we have enough sections of things like that? So what you're seeing tonight um are probationary teachers um that we may

233
01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:47.199
or may not have enough sections on um some examples in here would be we really would like to have a social worker and a counselor in each building. Well last year we had no counseling applications so we have a social worker and a social worker. We always want to try to get the

234
01:18:47.199 --> 01:19:04.480
right staffing. It affects funding. There's, you know, different mechanisms out there making sure we have those um people. Um this year, I think we had four applicants for counselor. >> Six. >> Six. I mean, it's just a different year. Last year, zero. This year, six. And so,

235
01:19:04.480 --> 01:19:21.440
you'll see a reduction of a probationary social worker, but we need a counselor. And so these are um what I like to call right sizing because we're some of them are just staffing and the number of sections. Others are making sure that we're we're making things right for our

236
01:19:21.440 --> 01:19:40.960
kids so that they have a counselor and a social worker things like that. Does that make sense? >> Absolutely. Thank you. >> Y that answer your question. >> Yeah. >> All right. We have do have a motion and

237
01:19:40.960 --> 01:19:57.040
a second. Thank you. If there's no discussion, I will take a roll call vote >> or actually Mr. Mesa can do that part. So, you want to take a roll call. >> So, just say yes. >> Go around the table and say Miss Ryan.

238
01:19:57.040 --> 01:20:12.239
>> What's that? >> Like to go around the table and say, "M Ryan, what did you'll take notes for?" >> Okay, M. >> Yay. Mr. Torlson said yes. >> Mr. Torlson.

239
01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:28.640
>> Mr. Shocker says yes. >> Mr. Ma says yes, too. >> I have a question. How come that has to be roll call? >> Yeah, >> because it's a resolution. >> Oh, okay. >> Not just because it's a resolution, it's because it's a resolution for a non-renewal.

240
01:20:28.640 --> 01:20:46.800
>> Oh, okay. >> We need to do that. >> Get good at it. And according to Robert's rules, it has to be a majority vote of the full board. So all four of you would have had to say yes with the absence of the other three. >> And you did.

241
01:20:46.800 --> 01:21:07.400
>> That's good to know. Thank you. >> Okay, we have another 52.4. It's another nonrenewal of the probationary teacher, Miss White. Um I would ask for a motion to approve that. >> Motion to approve.

242
01:21:07.440 --> 01:21:29.000
Oh. Oh, yes. Yes. >> Motion to approve 5.2.4. >> Okay, great. We have a motion. We have a second. >> I'll second that. >> Is there any discussion on this one? >> Hearing none. Mr. M will call.

243
01:21:30.080 --> 01:21:54.880
>> I Mr. >> Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> Messy. One more 5.2.5 nonrenewal of probationary teacher Mery >> partial nonrenewal >> partial I'm sorry

244
01:21:54.880 --> 01:22:14.560
>> she's being reduced 025 >> do I have a motion to approve Mr. Mesa second >> I'll second >> Mr. Stacker any discussion on that hearing none Mr. Mesa will call for >> Mr. R >> I >> Mr. Terson

245
01:22:14.560 --> 01:22:33.920
>> yes >> Mr. Johnson >> yes >> Mason 5.26 2.6. This is the last resolution for renewal. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> ULA is a little different, but

246
01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:53.840
>> um I have a motion to uh approve the nonrenewal of Mr. >> James. A motion to approve 5.2.6. Hearing a second.

247
01:22:53.840 --> 01:23:09.679
>> A second. >> Okay. Any discussion on that one? Mr. Mesa will call for roll call. >> Mr. R. >> I. >> Mr. Tro. >> Yes. >> M. Stockton. >> Yes. >> M. Yes. As

248
01:23:09.679 --> 01:23:26.560
>> motion carries. Last one. 5.27. Approve resolution proposing placement and continuing contract teacher on unrequested leave of absence. Miss Shi and this one I do want to

249
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:43.600
explain if that's okay. Chair um this is a little bit different. Um this staff member is on its own contract. It's a longterm subbing um contract that we do. Um so you'll notice this is not a probationary teacher. she would have

250
01:23:43.600 --> 01:24:00.320
call back rights. If you were to add um an internal sub with benefits and all of the things again in the future, this person would have those rights um back to her position. So, I just want you to be aware this one's just a little bit different. >> Will you speak a little bit with the sub

251
01:24:00.320 --> 01:24:17.199
shortage and then getting rid of the internal sub the thought process? >> Well, it comes down to it. you have to give the um a staff member of the same amount of sick days and the same amount of personal days. The benefits have gotten really high. We talk about those

252
01:24:17.199 --> 01:24:32.639
things all the time. Um we would be better after doing some data in my opinion. That's why it's a recommendation and if it's voted down that's fine as well. But if if we were to take those funds and disperse them, you know, what would you pay subs each

253
01:24:32.639 --> 01:24:49.840
day? Um versus having them internally um it can be difficult. what do you do on that first week of school when you probably don't need a a a sub of any kind or the last week of school and it's just been a little bit complicated on what you do. This year we moved her into

254
01:24:49.840 --> 01:25:04.480
an actual um position and she did an amazing job. Um so she has not been subbing in the district. We we built a long-term sub. So um it's my recommendation but I wanted you to understand this one is just a little bit different than the others.

255
01:25:04.480 --> 01:25:27.360
>> Yeah. Thank you very distracted. Do we have a motion on this one? >> Not yet. I interrupted you. >> That's right. Uh do I have a motion to approve this resolution? >> Thank you, Mr. I'll second that.
