really fast. It was almost like a blur. We had a lot going on within the cooperative and I'm really excited to get in front of you to kind of give you updates regarding some of those cooperative updates as well as um all the exciting work that we did in collaboration with Monosella School District and also Becker and Big Lake
school districts. So, thank you for your time today. So, I'm entering my my fourth year as the director of special education within the cooperative and I just want to give some quick thanks to the board as well as all of the administration and families in St. Cloud. I mean in sorry,
Monaceel and the cooperative. I'm going to give you a little overview of some of those services that we do provide. I don't have a Oh, I'm not going to be able to click on that. Am I Gavin? Can you click on that comprehensive services provided for me?
Perfect. Thank you very much. So within the cooperative, we serve Monaceel, Becker, and Big Lake. And some of the services that we provide are special education administration, school psychologists, related services, assist of technology, early childhood special education evaluations, special education
reporting, grant writing, nursing services, and new in 2526 is an instructional coach position. So, we identified a critical need in supporting our new special education teachers. We have more tier one, tier 2 licensed
teachers than ever before. And so, um, we had an opportunity to add this position and we have an existing coordinator that is sliding into that position for next year. She'll be supporting special education teachers, um, that are brand new to the field in
Becker, Big Lake, and Monaceel. It's a real starting point for us. It's something that as we move forward, we're going to continue to evaluate those supports for special education teachers, but it's a great starting point for us, and I'm excited about it. Some of the programs that we deliver are birth to three early interventions, K through2
centerbased DCDASD programming, and last year we took on a pretty big undertaking in shifting um our program design for setting four programs as well as a location. And I'm very happy to report that that transition went way better than I could even have imagined. Um we
started off with kind of up against the the wall with timelines. The construction in that site didn't get finished up until the day before students were to arrive. And so it was a mad scramble. Staff kind of united us as a staff. We were able to get together, help put together equipments. We were still painting walls and welcome them
into the building. And with some growing pains in the months of September and October, um we navigated it and we probably had one of our best years statistically in regards to behavior management. And I'm gauging that by our restrictive procedures in the programs.
Um with that shift we were able to put all those programs um kind of off islands and underneath an umbrella and we're calling that umbrella moving forward this year as pathways program. So the pathways program will have our level four programs for foundations one which is elementary emotional behavioral
disorders. Foundations 2, which is our secondary program for emotional behavioral disorders, as our um RISE program, which is students with autism and developmental cognitive delays and some level of dysregulation. And then we have um a new addition last year that we
started up um called the summit program. And that's kind of a stepping stone program to allow students to have more independence and prepare them for reintegration into their home school districts, which is our overall goal is to reintegrate students and not have them stagnant and setting forward programs. So, it was a great start for
us. I'm pleased to give you that that update. Um, got to really give a lot of credit to the staff that were kind of operating, you know, as independent programs and now they're coming together as one big program underneath an umbrella. and the collaboration has been has been really impressive and so I'm
really pleased to give you that update. Some other things that we um important initiatives thank you for sliding along there was continuing to work with Monaceel School District in regards to um a roadmap for special education and I
gave you a copy of it because there's no way I'm going to be able to encapsulate it in the couple minutes that I have. But I want I would like you to take a peek at it and if you have any questions on that roadmap, feel free to email me directly. One of the things I' I'd like to throw out to you as a board and anybody else that would like to to join
us on this is we're going to set up some opportunities to do some co-op tours this year. And so I'll work with Eric Wilson and some of the administrators to kind of orchestrate when that would work best. But I'd like to be able to invite you out to see the programs. It's a lot easier for me to talk to you conceptually about the programs and show
you at the same time. But um one of the big things that we're gearing up for this year is um in regards to 18 to 22 programming. So similar to what we did with the shift of level four programming to kind of work more collaboratively as a collective group and maximize our
resources, we're looking to do the same thing for our transition 18 to 22 programs. And those programs currently we made some big steps last year and we're continuing to plan this year. Um but we really want to operate as one program instead of four separate programs and have a full continuum of
levels of care within the 18 to 22 programming. Um some levels basically. So um we'll have our C5 program which is um primarily for our students that maybe have the lowest level of self-independence at this time but we want to we don't want them to be stagnant in that program. We want them
to be able to move up the levels of independence. And we have a connections south program and a connections north program. Historically, our connections north program has been operating out of the big lake location and our connections um south program is is in Monosel at East View. So
eventually we'd like to be able to have all those programs working in really close proximity to each other. We have some planning to do in in regards to that, but wanted to give you an update in regards to our our big picture vision in that regard. And then additionally, um, a really strong initiative that
we've been working hard the last three years on and will continue to do is our just interd district collaboration with our other member districts within the cooperative. The superintendents have been awesome in regards to um, planning as much as we can together. It just makes us the more we're aligned, the
better we will be. But additionally, we're looking at um, with our staff development this year. We're we're reinstituting something that was kind of a past practice in the cooperative and went away for a number of different reasons, but a shared special education summer institute. And so on August 21st,
this Thursday, we're bringing in all the special education teachers from the three member districts and the cooperative for a half day of special ed specific training. And so that was a big huge um addition to our our game plans for this year. Um, in regards to
something else I kind of want to share with you and I I can't give you the exact data yet. We'll have it all the way um tabulated probably in early October was our restrictive procedure data. And we've had a steady decrease in the amount of restrictive procedures we've had needed to do over the last
five years. And that's a byproduct of a really strong handle with care training um group that does that training for our member districts. And we've also added into our menu of options some ukaru. And ukaru is um just is a mindset of um
really hands-off approaches to managing disregulated students. It's a it's a great program. It's really hard to implement across every building because each of our buildings designs are so different as regards to space and staffing allocations and so forth. So
we're trying to figure out a way to encapsulate it more into more of our programming. But the Ukero within our level four programs has really reduced our our restrictive procedures. In fact, we didn't have any restrictive procedures in our setting for programs
after I believe it was March and some of you would could have probably attest to the fact that it was pretty frequent um in the past years particularly in the spring and so it's something that we want to continue to build on and figure out how we can incorporate the methodology of Ukaro
across the across the member districts. So stay tuned for for more discussions on that. Um, in regards to the blueprint plan, and I know I only got a couple more minutes here, so it's always a struggle to give you all the information that I want to give you, but this this was a really collaborative
um approach between our superintendent, Eric Olsen, um, our special education coordinator, Cindy Fashing, at the time, and and Laura will be joining us on this journey or Steven, and and the administration, um, in regards to really looking at how we do vend our services for special education and how we can
really, um, have a a roadmap map so that we can make sure that we're doing it in a very inclusive manner. And some of those goals that we have is enhancing staff competencies and student outcomes, creating inclusive and collaborative school cultures, and then really using
data better to design our our individual IEP plans as well as monitor our progress towards those goals. So, kind of in summary here, um I'm I'm really excited to to um look forward to this next school year. We have some
people that I have to say farewell to. We have three new coordinators coming with into our um cooperative. So that means we have to say goodbye to three coordinators. And so um we Rachel Casper who was the coordinator in charge of our level four programs. She moved to
Cambridge Assanti as a director and we wish her well. Lana Tolberg who was a longtime coordinator within the district has moved to Princeton and we also wish her well. Monica O'Neal was a coordinator in Big Lake last year, longtime coordinator within the cooperative is is shifting roles to be
that instructional coach that I talked to you about. So, I'm really excited about that. She has a lot of experience and will really support those new teachers very well. And we get a welcome though, three new coordinators, which are Brian Burns, Chelsea Wickland, and Jenna O'Brien. And they'll be joining our team. We have seven total
coordinators that support the member districts and and look forward to working closely with them. All right, any questions for me? Well, that was awesome, John. Thanks for coming in and sharing with us your update. So, I don't think a lot of
people understand how unique your position is that the co-op means it's not just Monaceel, it's Monaceel, Big Lake, and Becker, all those kids. So, can you tell us exactly the number of staff that you oversee?
The exact number? Close. Can you give me a call number? So, it kind of depends. It's It depends on how you look at it from a from a cooperative standpoint. Um, I I think I most directly supervise the cooperative. I share responsibilities with superintendents and principles within
those other districts. Um, I would say that it's definitely around theund and something realm for the cooperative straight employees. And then when you're talking about just special education in general, we're up in it's a little daunting. um we have like 300 and some
different special education staff across the cooperative. That's what I think is important for people to know is that you are when you look at the org chart that was made you by and large almost have the most amount of people that fall underneath your
luckily we are strong collaborators and um the more important piece is that these are regular education students first. they're not special education students first and so everybody in that supports any student supports special education. So I'm I feel confident that
we have a great team to support them. But yes, it could be a little daunting if you just look at the great numbers. Yeah, it's unique. So I think it's important that people that it's a big it's a big task. So thank you. Are you able to just I I forgot one slide I wanted to show you and I don't have the
if you want to go to that approximate special education counts one there Gavin I appreciate it. We'll have to make it probably a little bit bigger but but I wanted to be able to share this with you as well. So every December we get updated counts for special
education. So next December, this upcoming December, we'll have new counts, but this is going back as December of last year. And so if you see there, the Monaceel has um approximately 758 total students in special education,
which puts us at about a 18.6%age of students in special education within Monaceel. If you compare it against our well, cooperative is easy. That's 100% because every student that is in the cooperative program has to have an IEP. But if you slide down, you can compare
it against Becker and Big Lake. Thank you, Gavin, for doing that. So, we have a slightly lower percentage than actually Becker, which is a smaller smaller district, and we're right on par right with with Big Lake in regards to our special education numbers. If you
total all those special education students together across the cooperative, we're making a pretty big impact in a in a lot of students. and um we want to have better roadmaps for that. So that's part of why I'm excited about Monaceel kind of leading the charge with our special education blueprint and I think it's something
that we're going to be able to to bring to Becker and and Big Lake as well. And so thank you for spearheading that effort, Eric. What other questions does the board have? No, thank you for sharing with us and
we'll look forward to seeing even more dial into that awesome number of um the percentages decreasing for restrictive holds as here. I'll share an update once we get the the actual counts on that and because I'm going to be bragging. Okay. All right. We like that.
Thank you for your time and as I notoriously do, I always go over my minutes. So, I apologize for that. You did awesome, John. Very clear. All right. Now we will move on to item number eight, innovation and leadership. And I'll pass the mic over to
Superintendent Eric Olsen to welcome someone new to our district. All right. Uh well, I like to bring forward Dstrom. I excited about is I got to be on the interview. Um I got to be on the interview committee with Cammy with the
high school uh staff and got to know Cammy early on in her tenure with Monaceel Public Schools. And the one thing you'll know about her is she's very eager. Um she's well spoken and I love how um she digs right in. Um I'm hearing from the high school principles
that she is unwrapping um district um 882 online and she's also um getting ready to um oversee um the AOP and meeting people has been um one of the things that uh she's been you know making sure that she's done a lot of
here over the past month that she's been here with us. So, um, we finally got her to a board meeting and I'm excited to bring Cammy Dstrom and learn a little bit about her from her and the board get a chance to welcome you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Alson. Again,
like he said, my name is Cammy Dstrom. Um, I come into Monaceel with this is my 22nd year, 23rd year in education. Um, I've spent 16 years in the classroom as a science teacher. Uh, biology, beginner
eel science, anatomy and physiology, AP bio. Um, and then I've spent five years as an assistant principal at Benil St. Margaret's. So, um, a lot of time in education. I know my first love was just working with youth. So, um,
Monaceel School's every kid every day is exactly what kind of I I speak about every day is, you know, how can we how can we meet kids where they are? How can we create those relationships with them, not only them, but also their families and welcome them in. So, I'm excited um
to be in this position. Um, I've been coaching for a long time as well as softball, swimming, uh, ran relay for life. So, um, this team that I have sitting in the back here that I've met, they're, um, they're amazing. So, I think we're going to be a really collaborative group and we're going to
be a great team working together and I'm excited to see where this how we can kind of mesh the ADA2 and ALP and make it one big family so everybody feels really inclusive when they get into high school. So, yeah, I'm excited. But, thank you so much for the time today and
and getting to know each and every one of you. I've met a few of you, but hopefully I'll get to know you guys a little bit more in the future. Thank you. And we look forward to that. Can you tell us a little bit more about like do you have a long drive? What are your hobbies and interests? You got some kids?
Yes, I do have Yes, I have uh I live in Independence, which is in the Orno school district. So, I have three girls. Um and they're all teenagers, so bear with me. Um, one's going to be a senior, one's going to be a freshman in high school, and then one's going to be a seventh grader. So, they all play

Seb, they're going to get a a picture with you. Sure. All right. Now, we're moving on to item number nine, safe and healthy culture. We're going to bring up our director of human resources, Rob Daneker, to go over
the little edits on the high school handbook. That is an action item. Thank you, Chair Steven, members of the board, Superintendent Olsen. Uh, yes. So, the first thing uh in section 9 of the agenda is the approval of the high
school handbook. Um, as you're aware, the high school went through major transition um uh prior to this past school year and transitioning to trimesters. And so, a lot of the um amending of that handbook had to do with that, the continued implementation and
transition to the trimester model. Um as well we had a um in the last work session uh the board shared a conversation about uh one of the language items in there and and actually Superintendent Olsen facilitated a um some good cross talk with the city about what the city is going to do specific to
ebikes and electric motor um electric dirt bikes is the term. And so uh we amended some language in there as well. Um proposing that for approval tonight. And then just one minor um thing to add, it affects the high school handbook, but also the other handbooks that we've
previously approved. Uh we were made aware today that um MDE has in the last um I'm not sure how how recent it was, but they amended their requirement for um posting the MCA optout information for students and parents. Um, previous
it had been the requirement of the district to post on the district website. And now it is posted to be posted in to in its complete format uh not only on the district website but also in uh any student handbooks that the district offers. And so we'll be adding that as a back page to each of
our handbooks. Um we we do no augmentation or modification of that document. We just take it straight from the MDE website. It's a two-page document. So we'll plug it onto the back of each of our handbooks as well. Okay, good. And so this is an action item for the high school H.
So move second by Melissa Curtis, seconded by Casey Root. All those in favor, please say I. Opposed, please say no. Motion passes 60. And we will continue on to item number B it for the special education
coordinator agreement. Thank you, Chair Stevens. So uh we reached a ten of agreement with the special education coordinators. on a uh two-year contract. Uh that tenative agreement was dated July 22nd. We have seven special education coordinators
that serve uh both the co-op and the member districts. Um so we have two specifically that serve the Monaceel district, two that serve the Big Lake district, one that serves the Becker district, and two that are uh truly co-op coordinators. And so uh pretty
evenly spread across the various um um departments in terms of need and programs. Um just walking through the document on the uh summary of the uh tenative agreement. Uh in terms of base salary and benefits
um so as proposed in this agreement um there would be an additional step added to the salary schedule. There was uh previously three salary steps. We have agreed to add a new step uh but it's not at the top end or the bottom end. It's actually year two. Um the reason there
is there's a large gap between step one and step three and so um made sense that if we were going to add one we would add it there. Uh the aggregate increase proposed for year one is 3.45 um in terms of salary improvement. In terms of group insurance, major change
here. Um the um amended district group insurance monthly contribution moving forward would uh be stated to be 25 uh $2,530 for family and $1,15 for single um monthly. Previously, uh this uh
insurance contribution was 100% of the premium uh borne by the district. um to recognize a significant change in this model, uh there was a onetime stipen of $2,500 uh that's proposed to be um to
compensate each coordinator um on October 1st. That is the start of the new plan year to uh help in that transition. And then in terms of dental insurance, um again, previously there was uh 100% of the premium was covered by the district. Um and that would be in
year one of the deal of the agreement I should say that uh would be modified to a monthly contribution of $122. Um in year two uh the salary schedule increase uh amounts to 3.43 uh in year two the group insurance would
go up um to uh from 2530 per month to 2606 per month for family and 145 for single. Uh dental insurance would go up to $126. Um, in terms of language items,
coordinator dues, um, the district would, um, would pay the, uh, the coordinator fee, the annual fee that's paid towards the board of school administrators, um, on behalf of the individual coordinators as well. We modified the language regarding state
and national uh, professional organizations. Um, previously the contract read state or national and we've modified that to be state and national and that's consistent with other um, administrators in the district. In terms of duty year, five duty days were added to the contract to
um, total 225 total days. Previously it was 220. Um, two additional holidays were added um that are consistent with other administrator contracts in the district. New Year's Eve day and also Junth. um expenses not covered by insurance similar to other administrative
contracts in the district. We've moved that from a um uh reimbursement or and receipt-based model to um $500 added to the base in year one of the agreement and then um set forth from there moving forward. um general leave of absence. Um
we move that uh if uh coordinator is is requesting or I'm sorry notifying the district of return from leave of absence uh we move that deadline up from April 1st to February 1st to assist the district in planning for in preparation for the uh upcoming school year. Um, similar to other agreements that we've
arrived at recently, the district also added some language to the grievance procedure, specifically that if either party unilaterally withdraws from the arbitration process after an arbitration date has been scheduled, the withdrawing party shall be responsible for all fees and expenses. Uh, language cleanup.
There are some minor pieces that we uh cleaned up in terms of language. Uh there was a a language piece that uh seemed to imply that the insurance committee was the one who decided the insurance um provider and coverage and um all of those details. That's uh not
act actually the case and so we just struck that language. Um there was reference to part-time coordinators in the H language. We struck that as well. Um and then also, excuse me, um there was language in this contract that actually provided rights
in other contracts, which is not something that you can do, and so we clean that up. Also, and then finally, there was a restriction on non-eligible days for personal leave usage, and we agreed to drop that restriction. All told, uh the total package value over two years amounts to 9.62 MSBA. Um and
you may remember at last meeting uh this was on the agenda and we and I came to the podium and shared that um there was literally one sentence which we had some disagreement on and the disagreement it wasn't minor it was um it was one of those things where words have meaning
and so um we had to clean that up and because there was there was a disagreement between the language that had been agreed on and the how it was costed out and the impact both ways and so uh we were able to meet with the coordinator ators and clarify the intent at the negotiating table and move
forward with that intent. So happy to bring this forward for action and uh willing to take any questions on it. Any questions? Okay, it's an action item. Um so move I don't know how to state it. Just so moved.
Yep. Okay. So moved. Moved by Mary Bartell, seconded by Jeff Hegley. All those in favor, please say I. I. I. Opposed, please say no. Motion passes. 6. And we'll continue to
move on. Keep Rob up at the podium for item number C, second reading of our policies. All right. So, we have a number of policies uh tonight for second read. I think there's eight of them total. Um the majority of these minus uh seven of
the eight uh are brought forward because of uh legislative updates. And that is the case with our first one, uh, policy number 614, school district testing plan and procedure. Uh, the purpose of this policy is to set forth the school district's testing plan and procedure.
Um, basically spells out um how the district will conduct um um the by and large the MCA testing um and so MCA is M MTAS as well um and just clarifies that and builds a procedure.
Any questions on 614? Okay, moving to 615. Testing accommodations, modification, and exemptions for IEP section 504 plans and LEAP students. The purpose of this policy is to provide adequate opportunity for students identified as having individualized education programs
or IEPs rehabilitation act of 1973 section 504 accommodation plans otherwise known as 504 plans or English learner or EL needs to participate in statewide assessment designed to hold schools accountable for the academic performance of all students. Um and
again very uh very limited um changes in this um but both 614 and 615 uh the policy committee had previously waited until we had the new director of teaching and learning on board to lead the review of these in policy and so happy to say that director Stener was able to participate fully with the
policy committee on both 614 and 615. But any questions on 615 at all? Moving forward to 707, transportation of public school students. The purpose of this policy is to provide for the transportation of students consistent with the requirements of law.
Um this policy uh again brought forward because of um change in legislation. Last time the board had reviewed it or I should say revised it was in the year 2020. So there were significant modifications uh to update this language over the last 5 years. Um particularly
there is um in 707 in the the previous uh previously approved version there's um some procedure language in terms of the radius uh that we would trans and how we would transport open enrolled students that has been eliminated from the draft policy but we will be putting
together a procedure document to guide that practice because we're not moving away from it. Um and so we will post that procedure document alongside 707 but it will not be a procedure document that needs to be approved by the board. Any questions on 707 at all?
Okay. Policy 708, transportation of non-public school students. The purpose of this policy is to address transportation rights of non-public school students and provide equal treatment in transporting such students pursuant to law. Um, this one is pretty straightforward. Um, and just of note,
this was of significant conversation at the state capital last year. There was some significant funding reductions proposed for the transportation nonpublic students. Those did not come to fruition um and really does not impact 708 at all. But any questions on 708.
Okay, moving to 722. Uh this one was uh not uh brought forward because of uh legislative change. This was brought forward because of need. Um, Monaceel Public Schools much like many uh other schools uh school districts in the state and across the nation has been subject
to um an increased number of public data requests and the in the recent years and we wanted to make sure that our um our policy and the procedures that are outlined within match the needs of of responding to those in a timely and thorough manner. So the title of 722 is
public data and data subject request. The purpose uh of of this policy is that the school district recognize its responsibility relative to the collection, maintenance and dissemination of public data as provided in state statute. And then along with the policy, we have a form. Um and so
there were minor changes um that are proposed for the policy. Um most notable among them is that we did not have in our policy identified um a responsible authority. And so um by not having responsible authority articulated that
meant that any employee of the district could be a receiving uh individual for any public data request and we would be um bound to honor that request. And so by establishing a responsible authority we um we funnel those requests to the right individual. Um and then as I said
there is a form along with uh policy 722 and there were pieces some pieces of the form that we um uh we needed to update for uh good reason. One was uh in our current form we did not ask are you the subject of the request because that creates a separate timeline. If you are
the subject of the data request the the entity must respond within 10 business days. Um and um we also clarified that uh um requests for electronic dissemination of data are interpreted in the same manner as request for copies
pursuant to Minnesota statute. Um and then finally we uh we put the information regarding the responsible authority of the district on the form itself as well. Questions on 722 at all? Okay. And last but not least, uh number
802, disposition of obsolete equipment and material. Uh the purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the superintendent to assist in the timely disposition of obsolete equipment and material. Um the policy committee had we had a good conversation about um school
computers and how those are uh disposed of. And in working with uh director Borstrom, um he reviewed uh the work of the policy committee and he agreed with uh the draft. Um basically um because there is um
because there is so much uh for lack of better term red tape involved with the uh disposal of things like laptops um Chromebooks, iPads, things like that. Uh typically what the district does is we um we run them till uh their life is exhausted functionally and then we
dispose of them appropriately instead of selling them off. So any questions on 8 um 802 from the board at all? Okay. And these are action items for this evening. Chair Seven. All right. Thank you.
