11
00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:47.600
came to support David Otis I just want you to raise your hand. When you have an awesome student, they're usually connected to an awesome family. And I I don't mean any disrespect, but this family has

12
00:05:47.600 --> 00:06:04.160
capitalized on the home school partnership. It is definitely a partnership. David has been a joy in my class coming in very high social emotionally and we've had to build his academic skills. So David came up with

13
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:26.880
about eight of her letters. David now knows about 24 upper 24 lower and he has mastered his so exciting. It is a testament to how preschool is and it is necessary. And

00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:42.720
so, not only do I give this young accolade, but I thank God for his family that um when we give him assignments and when we talk about things in school, they bridge the gap and they work on it with him at home. And I'm so excited

00:06:42.720 --> 00:08:09.520
about his future. So, after every student of the month, we're going to ask the Take a photo. Next up, we will have the leader of the Dr. Pepper Elementary School, none other than

17
00:08:39.760 --> 00:09:04.760

18
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:21.120
I'd like to to Miss Molina Massenberg. When the school year began, Molina was very quiet, polite, and very observant. School was not easy for her, but she never gave up. As an educator, you wait for that moment when it clicked. When

19
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:45.360
your students really strugg, she was responsible for leading our community meeting and many other responsib She confident confidently took control of the meeting and never looked back. From that moment, Molina has not only

20
00:09:45.360 --> 00:10:03.399
grown tremendously as a confident young lady, she's also shown significant growth academically. She leads by her kindness towards others, helps her classmate at any time, and she is always ready for a challenge. Congratulations, Melina. You've earned every

21
00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:23.360
I would also like to introduce to you Mr. Noah Thompson. When the school year began, Noah was quiet, polite, and was very hardwork. This has not changed. He mostly chose to work independently and made sure that he

22
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:39.200
was completing his work to the best of his ability. Over the past several months, Noah has not only worked to meet grade level expectations, but most recently he has begun to exceed those expectations and is beginning to work above grade level in both reading and

23
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:58.800
math. He has matured into an amazing young man that displays confidence. He offers to help his classmates and he is natural teacher. As I listen to him explain how to solve a problem, you can hear his voice and his writing and see how proud

24
00:10:58.800 --> 00:12:13.839
he is of the work he has put in. Noah, you are an amazing young man and I cannot wait to see what you accomplish over the next several years. Congratul I'm proud to present to you Mr. Adam Carter, the assistant principal of

00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:41.279
of fresh air coming in with a smile around understand and he truly has been that ever since. He and his brother are well, respectful, hardwork. I mean, they've encouraged even some of

00:33:41.279 --> 00:34:02.320
our introverted students to come on education. They naturally gravitate towards students who may need help and are excellent role models to their peers. We again want to applaud and thank Stefan Woods for being a North. >> Okay, I would like to say

65
00:35:52.960 --> 00:36:10.160
We appreciate the opportunity to spend a few minutes with you to talk about what happens now as far as the appointment of a new board member. A little bit of the 14th year board, but I also serve 21 and a half years on the

66
00:36:10.160 --> 00:36:25.520
school board. I've been through the unfortunate times. To the best of my memory, this is the fifth time since I've been on the board that we had to make an appointment on behalf of the local board for whatever

67
00:36:25.520 --> 00:36:57.200
reasonable to come to agreement on their board member. In fact, a year ago, we had to make an appointment for a vaccine, but when you're done, we really believe that we'll put every effort we can

68
00:36:57.200 --> 00:37:13.359
forward to come up with the best for to be able to serve on your board and work to the best interest of not only students but your staff but also for some reason agreement has been

69
00:37:13.359 --> 00:37:42.000
education and the state board meeting tomorrow where we'll talk about the process that we're going to use in There's really a couple of board members about it because I want to make sure we're not doing any

70
00:37:42.000 --> 00:38:06.400
we'll have our first real discussion tomorrow. One we could reopen the rest here on school board numbers. Let us know that they're interested in our board then would look at the

71
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:25.839
application who would want to interview them. If we decide to go in that direction, a timeline we would probably use is we would open up the process on Wednesday morning for people to notify the

72
00:38:25.839 --> 00:38:48.240
interest and the website. We would also ask about the process so it gets out to your community. If the board didn't want to do that, we

73
00:38:48.240 --> 00:39:22.839
could actually just reinite the state really gives us a lot of flexibility as far as to more than welcome to do One of the things that happened a couple years ago had

74
00:39:23.839 --> 00:39:50.320
we decided we would only four and then we made our 32 people interest there's no way expect to interview 52 people. So the first thing that we did was we went through all the opportunities. We narrowed it

75
00:39:50.320 --> 00:40:16.720
down to six people. We would have to come up with the process on Wednesday until the following Friday. The

76
00:40:16.720 --> 00:40:48.720
The same time we would close the acceptance of the following week on that Wednesday meeting the applications and make a det. meeting before meeting actually do the

77
00:40:48.720 --> 00:41:16.160
interview and then discuss the decision who would like to still after the election results in certified and then new board member would immediately

78
00:41:17.599 --> 00:42:01.880
But I know that we also one of them couldn't decide know about your but again if you have any questions with me I'll leave some business with you where we are in the process

79
00:42:13.520 --> 00:42:30.400
Good evening. Um, question that I had was I know it's based on the recommendation of your board of which you would um proceed to um eliminate the um the open um

80
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:53.240
but isn't um what is the time frame? Is it the same time frame? Okay. >> The ice has no time frame and we want to have someone

81
00:42:59.920 --> 00:43:32.359
>> thank you for the opportunity to share a few things with you. >> Thank you, Mr. Okay, we will now move on to item number 4C bond presentation construction Good evening everyone. Remember tonight

82
00:43:38.800 --> 00:44:04.839
I'm tell you a pre the overall 2020. So with that 2021 series and then financial over

83
00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:24.880
there's any question. So with that the overview of the bond as you know the voters voted for the 54.4 million. Most of the items that were outlined in

84
00:44:24.880 --> 00:45:08.880
the related mechanical upgrades, temperature control, electrical infrastructure upgrades. There was some safety and security enhancements as well and some technology equipment that partnersh We have construction manager. We also

85
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:32.319
have other subconsc and also environmental consultant. As I mentioned before, we're in three of the program the last phase. There's two projects that are underway

86
00:45:32.319 --> 00:46:00.599
for 2026. The second program as far as the serious scope of work, you know, some of the accomplishments like I mentioned in the first HBS project. We also completed

87
00:46:02.240 --> 00:46:30.200
project wonderful programs and also centered as well. So with that a little bit more detail about the treatment center

88
00:46:32.319 --> 00:47:04.079
and just wrapped up in December 2025 undertaking with their infill structure taking out the bleachers installing a walking track electric and then construction. These are some

89
00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:22.119
photographs of the elevated track that was installed in that space also room that was put down as well along with some of the offices are And this was a photo that was taken.

90
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:55.520
Um, also as I mentioned before the freshman year of that project building. There was that to occur in according to here tonight

91
00:47:55.520 --> 00:48:43.040
continues on and we expect to be classed so far 50% of the infrastructure has been installed most of the electronic system. So coming up we're installing a

92
00:48:43.040 --> 00:49:08.640
transformer. So a lot of these we try to do it when students the operation of building as well. So we have a very construction timeline associated with

93
00:49:08.640 --> 00:49:30.319
wrapping up also there's a lot of vertical ventilators in the classroom and they provide capabilities as well and we've installed 28 new

94
00:49:30.319 --> 00:50:04.160
second floor and This one look right in the power. These are some rooftop units that have been installed. This is a

95
00:50:04.160 --> 00:50:35.160
old boiler boiler for Nova. This is part of our alternate proposal building right now. So getting to the financial summary here

96
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:56.640
aspects of the summary for you. So uh we've broken it down into seven different the number six is underway at basically for the

97
00:50:56.640 --> 00:51:13.040
two 9.4 million. If you take all the bids and you add them up, it's about $46 million worth of construction. With that, we had soft and other future commitments like the boiler and

98
00:51:13.040 --> 00:51:32.640
some firewall associated with this program. So looking at the cost about 16.6 million. So that gives you 62.6 million. So the 62.6 million is different from the 54.4 million that was approved by the voters.

99
00:51:32.640 --> 00:52:05.640
But what added to that number were several different forstruction and they came out so far. And then we have 4 million in funds and funds that were so

100
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:29.920
as far as next plan that was requested by the district. And what this is is looking at your buildings after we've been through your for the past there's always more. So with the conditions assessment report

101
00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:59.359
what that does gives you an updated capital plan for 10 years which will allow understand the magnitude of additional capital associated with your building and you know something. So it's a great document to have to

102
00:52:59.359 --> 00:53:35.599
understand your facilities and what needs to be done next. Approximately buildings that we part of that program and we will work with analy questions associated with program. That's what I was wondering. You know, I

103
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:55.280
just thought some kind of way because I'm always asking question. Um I do have a couple questions. um the bond that was 2021 now we're in 2026

104
00:53:55.280 --> 00:54:16.800
was there any island you know go up and you know goes up >> yeah the market really impacted that greatly with this

105
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:56.200
program. It's all about market timing and when you successfully contingutoring products Um right now we don't have any process or anything like that.

106
00:54:57.520 --> 00:55:35.359
We don't have any planning. Um, so I know this theory is the third one. So that would be the last one. So this time it states that on May 4th, 2021

107
00:55:35.359 --> 00:56:22.400
there was the pool. This is the the >> right2 million that includes the original amount of 54.4 and all the others interesting. >> Okay. Um, so I just want to be clear. So

108
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:43.520
the The the extra bond that we receive is to replace the total from the 54 million. Correct. >> It's not really >> these are

109
00:56:43.520 --> 00:57:52.480
the money from the notes. So you mentioned interested because it's the time. How does interest access 1.3 million on top of the existing question about the units that are going in this classroom.

110
00:57:52.480 --> 00:58:09.200
So the units I had a really big problem with I came in this huge enormous bulky looking unit and it's just like that wall right there. See how that wall just sticks out this little maybe it's a I

111
00:58:09.200 --> 00:58:25.680
don't know but it's just like that. It's like it hides. You know some of these units are near door. You can't. It's like And is it is there any other

112
00:58:25.680 --> 00:59:22.920
alternative vertical structurally you're building It's also more diff control for each classroom. When you get into space. There's a lot of fire

113
00:59:28.079 --> 01:00:03.520
in the corridors and things like that. Where you talk about unit hundreds of thousands of whatever. So, I know that some states have caused a lot of issues um either from not

114
01:00:03.520 --> 01:00:19.280
working or they blow out this air at the top and some of the teachers desks were like right there and it would just blow. And I don't know if you all have an idea this time to make it where that wind or

115
01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:46.000
that air doesn't just blow on someone. to direct. >> So when you go into a classroom and I know there's like 26 I think that's going to be installed. Each classroom has their own measurements. So all of them are not the

116
01:00:46.000 --> 01:01:03.040
same. So how do you judge what is right? some of these rooms. I mean, I've been in a room with that um generator in the room and it takes up so much space.

117
01:01:03.040 --> 01:01:47.760
>> Well, we have our architect. So you're saying that those rooms are larger now. >> And then my last question has something to do with the RF. Um when you go out

118
01:01:47.760 --> 01:02:20.640
for that um is it like are they are they union um that are >> double requirement for this project. So then those proposals just come from

119
01:02:20.640 --> 01:02:53.960
all around or local participants out You mentioned about equipment back on the series three equipment like like what type of equipment are you talking about? the electro electro

120
01:02:55.599 --> 01:03:28.480
system. Okay, I just wanted to get an idea. Um, I promise that's my last question. Um, So if you run into an issue um that we're only

121
01:03:28.480 --> 01:04:21.119
um what happens every wall and it is a wall. So what we do is reserves funds to allow for any mis >> and it'll be done around

122
01:04:21.119 --> 01:05:05.839
>> here. Are you done with >> forward to item number four, firewall replacement Professor Jeff. >> Thank you. >> Welcome. >> Good evening.

123
01:05:05.839 --> 01:05:27.760
>> My name is Jake. I'm the director of technology for school through the intergovernmental agreement with Oakland school. to be here tonight. Just a real quick overview. We'll explain you a little bit about the network and exactly what equipment we're

124
01:05:27.760 --> 01:06:03.920
proposing to replace. Talk a little bit about funding because we don't do this very often. every other year or so people >> can help. That's okay.

125
01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:20.160
So for right now, this isn't the best diagram, but it's a simple diagram. Um, basically our district has what we call network. So we have internet coming into the district. You'll see the next piece of equipment is called the firewall.

126
01:06:20.160 --> 01:06:36.559
That's what we're talking about tonight. So basically, our security measures, tweeting us, and everybody else. So it keeps our middle schoolers in the district from doing things outside and it keeps

127
01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:52.960
threat actors from getting into our district. So it's a key piece of our security. Then you come into your core switches which goes into your building switches which then connect all devices across the district whether it's your phones

128
01:06:52.960 --> 01:07:13.839
your laptop your wireless access point whatever it is that's outlied diagram you know in the pecking order we are talking so most complicated federal program output.

129
01:07:13.839 --> 01:07:32.160
Nobody really understands it. We just try to use our consultants to stay one step ahead of the federal government and get ours. So the program is basically funded through telego years ago 25 years ago there was a

130
01:07:32.160 --> 01:07:49.039
search charge on your phone bill your landlines you'll see like a 95 US service and those of us that still have landlines don't pay that what it does goes up to the federal

131
01:07:49.039 --> 01:08:20.239
government and then the federal government distributes it to public schools and library and every $452,000 is there's about four things that you can use.

132
01:08:20.239 --> 01:08:37.759
So basically everything you saw on that previous diagram which is considered the network. So it's your internet access your firewall your switches wireless access points you can't use it for you can't use it for devices like your

133
01:08:37.759 --> 01:08:57.239
laptops any of that. So you have a decent size tool to help keep our network up to speed. It was originally created to help internet and built out across all across

134
01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:24.400
this comes this really kind of formula how much money you can really get back it's based upon your preart qualifies for about 85 in the formula. So if we spend $100,000

135
01:09:24.400 --> 01:09:54.560
on a project, we get $85,000. Now the firewall is a whole different rule because parts of it are not eligible and parts of it are eligible for some reason they only Oak Park, Oakland Schools, all the

136
01:09:54.560 --> 01:10:24.719
districts around the county all the changes for this project. It's a little bit difficult part of the model of open schools. We have 15 partner districts in what we call the open field

137
01:10:24.719 --> 01:10:48.960
and what we did is work with school. All 15 districts are having their firewalls. What it is all those districts that are on training knowledge transfer

138
01:10:48.960 --> 01:11:11.360
training staff members are learning four different products to keep all of our districts. So the RFP went out through open have a We received a summary total. It's a little confusing

139
01:11:11.360 --> 01:11:40.360
because a couple of no good. The problem is the were released with a couple different chos. access really good. We had the major players

140
01:11:41.679 --> 01:12:13.040
project around June. completed calendar district to minimize that rate reimbursement as I said I use some rough numbers because the

141
01:12:13.040 --> 01:12:46.560
exact science and calculating everything is always fluid I say up% of our expenses We're anticipating $20,000 refund from the federal government solution about half the price of some of the

142
01:12:46.560 --> 01:13:16.480
other players. some of those district awards just in case something were to go wrong for small items. The funding for this is a combination of

143
01:13:16.480 --> 01:13:42.080
technology So we'll apply the project to September or October and then what we do at that time. So it's just kind of allowed us to get

144
01:13:42.080 --> 01:14:15.199
going in our off time. There is a nonigible that's about $1,500 we call next generation firewalls because there's so much more from all over the world. So that

145
01:14:15.199 --> 01:15:01.719
software unfortunately isn't great. 15 at the county level. So that helps reduce the overall cost. That'll be part of the operation. That's it in a nutshell. Any questions?

146
01:15:12.480 --> 01:15:31.520
So we have the Senate bill 4141. I did read where we talked about, you know, presentation that we talked about. Um, how does that

147
01:15:31.520 --> 01:15:57.679
cell phones are supposed with photos as well? So, but the web I mean the um the wide binder. Okay. So the Wi-Fi um how is it just open

148
01:15:57.679 --> 01:16:25.199
code? So we have a a Wi-Fi network so all the devices connected to children's internet privacy protection online privacy requires us to filter out It's not flawless because

149
01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:49.760
it devices what all of our devices go through the filter. Anybody that we have open to the network as far as the telephone bill that's more of conduct mentation and how we handle

150
01:16:49.760 --> 01:17:13.360
that in the classroom versus the network. We can tell what your devices are connected in here and it's always more than the other stated that um the bill you

151
01:17:13.360 --> 01:17:31.159
know um whatever is not covered um that we Um, I was just wondering, this may not be a question for you, maybe the finance, but where would that money come out of

152
01:17:31.360 --> 01:17:49.199
this $1,000? >> Yes, >> that will be out of our operational budget. That's not covered at all. the $20,000 pull the rug on us

153
01:17:49.199 --> 01:18:42.000
at the last minute and not fun project. We try to work again with Tiffany and superintendent to make sure that we're allocating. responsibility forward. >> Thank you. >> We'll go to item number four, summer

154
01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:59.920
school 2026. Presenters and favor. I do want to provide this opportunity for the team to come and I know I have two at this time but I have more than more than capable team to come up to our

155
01:18:59.920 --> 01:19:19.280
presentation. Uh let's welcome all right who is that K12 district ELA coordinator ELA and improvement. We also have our newest member Kirsten who is teacher at NOVA but also she is

156
01:19:19.280 --> 01:19:41.679
our newly uh appointed summer school coordinator and then we have Dr. who is director of special services. Thank you. said I am Shayla right our case

157
01:19:41.679 --> 01:20:04.320
coordinator and today we are going to present on summer school in relation to a grant that we have um that our supervisor and special project so here we have our core um these are

158
01:20:04.320 --> 01:20:20.560
from our original um size and district quality. So making sure we maintain the physical, emotional and cultural safety, build protective relationships with all stakeholders, provide equitable anti-racist

159
01:20:20.560 --> 01:20:35.600
instruction and practices, prepare thoughtful, successful and engaged members of a global community, and maximize our resources with transparency and accountability. So the presentation that we're going to do today

160
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:56.000
that last core value. All right. So, this is our second year being awarded the Bomber Group grant. So, this grant is um in partnership with the Levia Group, the Bmer Group, and the United Way. And this is the summer

161
01:20:56.000 --> 01:21:11.520
discovery grant powered by um the United Way area of South Eastern Michigan. Um This year the funding is a little different. So um it it went up or we had

162
01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:28.320
an increase of a couple hundred per pupil. Um so that's for students 1750 per student. Um the grant will be covering that the group in United Way. Also um another

163
01:21:28.320 --> 01:21:44.719
change or update I should say that the grant is providing is um the student range. So before this grant was kinder rising tender for eighth grade and now they extended it to offer um funding for

164
01:21:44.719 --> 01:22:00.080
our rising kinder all the way up to 10th. So um we have two additional grade levels added this year. Um So as for our program, we will have four days per week. It will be a total of five weeks.

165
01:22:00.080 --> 01:22:16.639
Um I have a schedule and calendar coming up um that Mus will present. Um but this is just a quick overview. um two of those days. So, we're going to do Monday through Friday, but two of um I'm sorry, we're going to do Monday through

166
01:22:16.639 --> 01:22:34.080
Thursday. So, we'll have two Fridays that will be field day. And what the funding covers are staff salaries, transportation, materials, and enrichment activities. um

167
01:22:34.080 --> 01:22:53.600
as well as expenses. Okay. So, here are all of our district institute. Um and if I'm going to wait, but you guys do have a copy of the presentation.

168
01:22:53.600 --> 01:23:09.600
All right. So, all our district institutes um will be covered. So, we have transportation in partnership with our operations team for number one. Um all students will be offered transportation and bus services um

169
01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:26.719
with similar to the regular school year schedule. So we'll try to provide the same route or similar routes so that all students um will have transportation to get to the school. Second thing is our curricular resources in our curriculum.

170
01:23:26.719 --> 01:23:44.880
So we are going to be um aligned to the standards. we have our essential standards that we um cover throughout the school year. So we pretty much just look at that data to see how students did on that on those particular standards um whether they need extension

171
01:23:44.880 --> 01:24:02.159
as it relates to those standards or some intervention. So we choose our curricular resource based off of um spring and winter assessment. Um so it's very targeting and it will address student needs. Number three, we have food services.

172
01:24:02.159 --> 01:24:18.239
Uh students will receive a hot breakfast and lunch providing a so we will also be working with our operations team on that. And last but not least, our staffing. Um the office of teaching and learning will

173
01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:34.800
be handling staffing. Um so far we hired one coordinator and we are uh look to um on board and hire some more candidates soon. So um

174
01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:50.080
park schools instructional leaders and highly qualified certified teachers and pure educators will be a part of our All right. So now I'm going to hand it over to

175
01:24:50.080 --> 01:25:10.239
talk a little bit about our program location. >> Hello. Um so the program locations for one elementary K through five be located elementary two the middle school sixth through 8th grade will be located

176
01:25:10.239 --> 01:25:31.199
three combined areas and specialized services will be on the calendar as chair was talking about is Monday through Thursday starting on June 22nd. The two Fridays

177
01:25:31.199 --> 01:25:54.239
that will be going on a field trip will be July 10th and July 24th. Moving on the K through summer discovery through the schedule over early care and arrival to 8 and drop off

178
01:25:54.239 --> 01:26:10.639
at 7:30. The buses will be arriving at 7:45 through 8:30. and breakfast and then at 3:30 instruction begins to 11:30 for math and English. The lunch break is from 11:30 to 12 and

179
01:26:10.639 --> 01:26:30.159
12 to 12:30 will be teaching and afterare from 12 to 3 which would be enrichment activity 3 to 3:45 available

180
01:26:30.159 --> 01:26:47.600
enrichment programs they are arts music visual arts activities social emotional which is group interaction and team building which is hands and technology projects and then finally physical education

181
01:26:47.600 --> 01:27:07.040
which is sports and outdoor activities the K8 summer discovery student 75% attendance is a must students at risk based on standards and scores academics We're focusing on literacy math and

182
01:27:07.040 --> 01:27:24.520
social emotional learning nutrition breakfast and lunchroom daily building mindset and goal setting emotional management empathy and kindness.

183
01:27:25.679 --> 01:27:45.600
the summer discovery instruction, the summer curriculum and talk a little bit more about curriculum. All right, so I kind of briefly went over our curricular resources and our curriculum that we will be using for

184
01:27:45.600 --> 01:28:02.000
summer. Um, so our ELA instruction will include direct instruction. So it wouldn't be students computer or do a worksheet. Teachers will be teaching. So, um we will be using our same instructional

185
01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:18.560
framework um our gradual release framework. Um there will be differentiated instruction and small groups for um specific students specific students to use. Um and the resources that we will be using is Hagerty and I

186
01:28:18.560 --> 01:28:35.280
Ready. So I Ready has a computer um platform and an actual curriculum with the teacher guides, student workbooks and things like that. So when we're referring to I Ready, we're not just referring to the online program. It is

187
01:28:35.280 --> 01:28:51.600
actually like a package curriculum and we use the data to determine what what the order for. Um that usually the ready data or the gross data um usually come out in the spring. So we use that in order to decide what we need to order so

188
01:28:51.600 --> 01:29:07.840
we don't have um too much uh curriculum that we don't need. We wanted to read um match our students needs. Um we also have social emotional learning um and our main resource for

189
01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:25.679
that is of course Katherine Kart. Um this is just the the this is the curriculum that we use um throughout the school year. So we want to keep it consistent for this summer. Um and as far as math, this mirrors

190
01:29:25.679 --> 01:29:42.880
um ELA. One thing I did not say is um one of the requirements of the grant is that we have to have 90 minutes of ELA instruction and 90 minutes of math instruction. So um we will be doing

191
01:29:42.880 --> 01:29:58.480
direct instruction during that time as well. Um the core curriculum resource we will be using is that is our um newly piloted math curriculum.

192
01:29:58.480 --> 01:30:13.440
We will also be using I Ready and we will use the I Ready online platform for math as well to supplement um our core instruction as well as like math recovery. So that

193
01:30:13.440 --> 01:30:32.800
is mainly like small group instruction um rotation centers and things like that for our little one. Okay, program impact. One of the things I did include in your um I I'll share with the board later is our academic

194
01:30:32.800 --> 01:30:49.280
growth. So, um last year was our first year. We had um an amazing turnout. There were some growth areas, but um the highlight of last year's program was our academic growth. we our students um

195
01:30:49.280 --> 01:31:06.000
showed growth and demonstrated growth in the double digits from the pre-EST to the post test. Um and that data was shared with us from our grant partners. Um so what that means is what we were what we were doing last year was

196
01:31:06.000 --> 01:31:23.520
working. So we're going to try to marry that as far as our um curricular resource goes and our assessment. Um second thing enrichment. So, um we know it's summer people want to have a good time and do some activities, right?

197
01:31:23.520 --> 01:31:40.080
So, we have um a lot of creative activities at Boston and interest. Um last year we put on a big performing arts program um that through one of our festivals um the elementary festival print um we had an

198
01:31:40.080 --> 01:31:54.960
amazing um turn off for that where students were able to showcase their talent whether it's singing, dancing, art, um graphic art or um just performing. So students were able to do that. There were also traditional

199
01:31:54.960 --> 01:32:10.560
enrichment clubs, but if you um maybe not want to do dancing, but you want to do something else as far as like a particular club, um that was available as well. Next, we have our social emotional

200
01:32:10.560 --> 01:32:29.920
development. So, we did have culture um coordinators in the building last year for CH because we had a set of We had leaders who focused on academics, leaders who focused on enrichment and

201
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:45.440
so we made sure that that support was targeted throughout um summer school. Um and also this is a way to build community. So one of the things the BMA group is doing differently this year is

202
01:32:45.440 --> 01:33:01.120
getting more parent engagement. So there are specific questions that we have to include in our enrollment. um form for students to sign up. Um and that is just to gauge how families are doing our program and what are some things that

203
01:33:01.120 --> 01:33:29.760
they may want to see within our program. So we're still collecting that data and um we will be incorporating those things into our um school program as well. So we're going to come back to um summer selection

210
01:35:25.040 --> 01:35:42.000
their leadership skills including the discovery group we hire at summer school and each and high school will be led by teacher leader um i.e director and then our goal is provide more leadership opportunities

211
01:35:42.000 --> 01:36:05.840
for our staff. Good evening everyone. Dr. Director office of specialized student. Thank you. And today I'm going to be sharing the extended school year. First

212
01:36:05.840 --> 01:36:20.639
of all, we want to know what extended school year is and ESY provides specialized support for students that require instruction beyond the normal school year. So, decisions

213
01:36:20.639 --> 01:36:39.120
must be made by the included documented data. So, here we have what ESY is and what it is not. is considered for every student at every

214
01:36:39.120 --> 01:36:56.960
individualized education program. So what we do is that we make sure that it is individualized for every student and also like I said earlier it is supported by ESY is also

215
01:36:56.960 --> 01:37:15.360
the maintainer or critical and prevent like for example if a student has a written goal and we know that if the student does not or

216
01:37:15.360 --> 01:37:42.639
start taking when the students are break and that's how they use that information to make to decide to determine whether Extended

217
01:37:42.639 --> 01:37:57.760
school year is not mandated for every student. Why? Because it is individualized and also because it depends on the data that is collected also. It is not disability.

218
01:37:57.760 --> 01:38:24.080
You cannot say because student not to come from and it is not automatic from year to year and excited not also for new. to maintain the skills not to introduce

219
01:38:24.080 --> 01:38:45.040
goals and exactly is not never based on availability or program like for example you cannot say because there's no speech therapy or because there's no funding we're not going to provide extended year

220
01:38:45.040 --> 01:39:02.080
criteria there are three standard for this And the first one is regression recruitment. So we look at data to see if data indicates the serious potential for regression of following a prolonged

221
01:39:02.080 --> 01:39:19.360
break in instruction and also we look at the amount of time that it will take for that student for that student to be able to rec. Then standard two talks about the nature and severity of disability.

222
01:39:19.360 --> 01:39:37.040
And for that we determine whether data indicates that the nature or severity of the student disability will significantly increase progress over prolong. Like for example if a student has already made some progress on a

223
01:39:37.040 --> 01:39:52.560
behavior or maybe academics then we look at the nature of disability to if we do not offer the to the student from that and if the

224
01:39:52.560 --> 01:40:10.639
student comes back from the break from summer break will the student still be maintaining that goals that he or she has achieved and data shows that the student might regret

225
01:40:10.639 --> 01:40:28.760
to provide then the stand is critical stages of learning We use that to determine if the current stage of achievement requires services beyond the school year to the identify

226
01:40:31.520 --> 01:40:48.800
program daily for now that we have made we will start from 8:30 to 8:45 there will be breakfast and students will arrive And then there will be traffic. I

227
01:40:48.800 --> 01:41:06.000
also want to say that the will be starting at 8:00 and will end at 1:00 but students will come at 8. Then from 8:45 to 10:00 I go work on

228
01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:25.760
it can be academics. It can be services related services such as occupational speech and we use that determined child individualized

229
01:41:25.760 --> 01:41:42.800
school. Now from 10 to 10 there will be research because we understand that is important for our students to activity and also some fresh especially during summer.

230
01:41:42.800 --> 01:41:58.719
So and the activity will be games. We want them to be really engaged for them to want to come activities and choice. And then from 10:30 to 11 we will have centers and centers during that time we

231
01:41:58.719 --> 01:42:20.400
have different tes that will ensure that our students are maintaining their skills and also getting all the skills that have then from 11 to 11

232
01:42:20.400 --> 01:42:45.040
and lunch will be provided. Then 11 11:30 to 12:30 we will have social emoticunication skills. The reason why I mention that this might be is that

233
01:42:45.040 --> 01:43:08.639
is individualized for each of our students. So during this time we might add some students who are from some other services that are what do I mean by that? Student A might

234
01:43:08.639 --> 01:44:00.239
have just academic that to be worked on for student and the location for years. So at this point I'm going to any course. No. So we have like we have staggered um

235
01:44:00.239 --> 01:44:18.000
arrival in sometimes. So as um teachers are leaving um the building then we have the enrichment teachers coming into we also have to cover as well. So similar to um like school year so during this

236
01:44:18.000 --> 01:44:47.360
school year we have the special elective teachers they cover the teachers for hours. So it's very similar to that we have like a staggered schedule um for enrichment and parent recovery

237
01:44:47.360 --> 01:45:03.920
that only one class to recover. How does they just go for credit recovery once and then go home or stay for the whole day? >> Um so they will um be differentiated. So there are some students who may need credit recovery more than others. Um and

238
01:45:03.920 --> 01:45:21.199
we do try to catch like maybe a grader who um who was supposed to maybe graduate this year but needed for more credit. So that that student schedule was a little bit different. an 11th grader who maybe have four credits to

239
01:45:21.199 --> 01:45:48.320
recovery. And um the site need is the person who will determine what exactly that will look like for that particular student because we had >> no credit based on how many credits they need. So they will be able to dismiss

240
01:45:48.320 --> 01:46:09.679
early. Um if that is your situation kindergarten ris rising kindergarten students. So what that means is our GSRP um students or our young students who will be

241
01:46:09.679 --> 01:46:26.080
enrolled in our elementary schools this upcoming school year for the fall. They will be the right kindergarten student on school now. >> Correct.

242
01:46:26.080 --> 01:46:43.520
>> What's the projected amount of children already enrolled in? Um so the enrollment is ongoing. We we sent out the enrollment um districtwide twice. Um

243
01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:59.600
the numbers that I checked was around or families enrolled. Um, you can update those on those numbers. So, that was the end of last week when I checked those numbers.

244
01:46:59.600 --> 01:47:16.480
We also um require the grant is that we cannot close enrollment. So, it's ongoing. We do have a targeted number um that our teaching and learning team put together as well as our um supervisor

245
01:47:16.480 --> 01:47:31.199
grant. However, um that number we met that number last year. Um however, I don't want to disclose the numbers just yet. So, currently based on our

246
01:47:31.199 --> 01:47:48.159
number one, we have about 170 students. It's one live per family. So a family that have multiple kids online and that's just only pay and enrollment not high school separately because it's credit right. So we have to look at their transcripts the counsel recommendations teachers give

247
01:47:48.159 --> 01:48:07.600
recommendations about what students need. So this is only our parent. >> Yes. And I'm just I'm sorry. Um so when I checked last week it was 106. So now from last week to this week is we're up in enrollment. Also with the

248
01:48:07.600 --> 01:48:29.679
targeted number um that could change because sometimes we can go in and edit the grant. Um so I'm not sure if that has been done at this moment or not. Um, as far as that middle school, we don't have the number yet. They have

249
01:48:29.679 --> 01:48:58.080
to be transport. Uh, is that transportation for how does that transportation work as far as pick up where they're picking up? Are they going all the way across

250
01:48:58.080 --> 01:49:14.560
eight miles? Um, yes. So because we are a school of choice district um we we will be going across state line because those are the students we serve those are students but so we don't want to exclude exclude those students because they can't have a

251
01:49:14.560 --> 01:49:45.920
ride here. So we are providing transportation um that is very similar to our during the school year transportation Is there so many that you have? I know I saw the schedule. There are so many

252
01:49:45.920 --> 01:50:09.520
that are supposed to be as far as No. Um so intervention and differentiated instructor will be provided by the school staff. So these it's not an additional staff member. So this is all one staff member who will be

253
01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:37.040
providing targeted support and staff signed up for They are aware that we take a look at the data for the winter and the spring because we teach everything in a five program, right? We take a look at the data and we determine, okay, all of our second

254
01:50:37.040 --> 01:50:53.800
graders seem to be having a little trouble with uh digital traction. So we make sure that that's a standard that is taught or retaught in summer school so that before they can just grade in the phone they had an opportunity to take a look at the data

255
01:51:05.199 --> 01:51:34.480
is there for the teachers because I know you guys go out. So, um is there a deadline to us on our job or a specific date? Um so, our goal is

256
01:51:34.480 --> 01:51:50.880
to first hire our site. So, we need three because we have three buildings that will be open. Um and then from there we will be hiring. Um and our goal is to um hire those people before the end of

257
01:51:50.880 --> 01:52:07.760
this year. So will three of those people be staff member already? Yes. So we're only offering these positions to Oak Park School District staff and this year what M

258
01:52:07.760 --> 01:52:29.040
went over briefly is that we are offering teachers and opportunities to um have a leadership role as well. So last year we had our principal um they were able to apply for discip they have a old man certification.

259
01:52:29.040 --> 01:53:01.360
Um they will have the opportunity to apply for the position. We'll go through the interview process. Um and then we'll we'll choose um we'll select the staff and then we'll on board them. We we had in between um

260
01:53:01.360 --> 01:53:18.560
yeah five00 students. Our target numbers right now um is a little over that. We're being a little bit ambitious this year. Um and as far as attendance goes, we have to have 75% um or higher attendance every day. So um

261
01:53:18.560 --> 01:53:36.880
we are um also making to get the students and they actually fall short. Um last year we did some realignment. So um our

262
01:53:36.880 --> 01:53:53.440
office got together and we tried to figure out what are some things that we can offer families and students in order to get the students here. So we did um some giveaways incentives. We also um this year we will

263
01:53:53.440 --> 01:54:10.000
be incentivizing the field trip. So students will have to come to the program a certain amount of days in order to attend the field trip. Um simply because like that is how we actually stay in line with the requirement.

264
01:54:10.000 --> 01:54:28.040
So we want to stay above that 75%. And honestly it worked. So what we did last year it worked and for the remainder of the summer we were able to sustain our attendance. Um and this year we're going to go even

265
01:54:30.480 --> 01:54:58.560
more time. This presentation is pretty long and it's um it's a little confusing when it comes to the so I I don't know anything about our curricular resource that we highlighted last year and the board approved. Thank you. Um, and so that is

266
01:54:58.560 --> 01:55:16.639
our core curriculum resource for kindergarten are normal curriculum that we use um and that we just piloted last year. I do remember it used to be it didn't

267
01:55:16.639 --> 01:55:52.880
high school and now it does. >> So the Yes correct. Um so discipline what we mean about that is by subject. So we have like math, science, social studies. So content

268
01:55:52.880 --> 01:57:02.159
specific is usually what we're talking about is discipline. Thank you. Thank you. um our transportation crew, they'll get access to our enrollment. They'll look at the address and you know pick up you know so they'll

269
01:57:02.159 --> 01:57:43.320
start as long as they're not within the school. But if you're a student in the summer school program, Do you guys know where Not yet inutilar

270
01:57:47.760 --> 01:58:03.679
like teachers had hidden talent or something they wanted to try out with students they were able to do that like more ELA teachers even had students create a book like a portrait book that's something that she does

271
01:58:03.679 --> 01:58:25.080
creative thing with field trip like we want to give them inut Lego aquarium uh above alley and had a great time I tried to go to top

272
01:58:25.119 --> 01:58:39.679
question Going back to the 11th and 12th grade, is it only available during their school hours or at home?

273
01:58:39.679 --> 01:59:15.560
So they are able to do both but the main reason is because I was over program and we ran into the issue where students were coming first days and wouldn't see them they were all done student recovery class

274
01:59:16.159 --> 01:59:42.800
here. If they're all done with their lesson, I guess it does like an assessment drop officed in their way. um through the program they can do the learning task but only the teacher can lock and unlock the quizzes or the assessments to get them

275
01:59:42.800 --> 02:00:18.560
passed out. So they got >> how many enrollment did not go over but it's really really We have even smaller classes. We try to like have our classes offic

276
02:00:18.560 --> 02:00:54.960
Any more questions to item number five report I want to thank my team both I do want to shout out again

277
02:00:54.960 --> 02:01:12.719
and this grant is worth $1.3 million um based on information about how we were going to roll it out and get the get the attendance but we want to help her out um and partnering with us for this grant making we got it so that we can use to

278
02:01:12.719 --> 02:01:33.360
offset a lot of the district cost. We offer them school anyway, right? Our students um but through this we're able to offer more experiences for them. So we thank her for us today and please bear with me. I know the

279
02:01:33.360 --> 02:01:50.159
great but I do want to take a moment uh to celebrate our staff members. um staff recognition. We continue to celebrate the outstanding contributions of our team members to our staff of the month program. Each honore is recognized

280

our enrollment and recruitment efforts, our team has conducted a thorough review of enrollment data and is developing a strategic recruitment plan these insight. So, we're committed to making sure that we increasing enrollment in the old school district. Uh data shows that our website is one of the top

293
02:06:00.000 --> 02:06:16.880
drivers of no enrollment accounts for almost 10% of um as well as word of mouth. We already know that that's the most powerful way of But with our website, as a result, we are actively enhancing our website to increase engagement and to provide prospective families with clear,

294
02:06:16.880 --> 02:06:33.199
accessible, and meaningful information. So this past weekend, the Miss North and film crew, we began filming virtual tours of all of our buildings to further support recruitment efforts to showcase the strength of our project. And so they

298
02:08:47.840 --> 02:09:03.440
was so wonderful to watch and see so many family members come out. Um, we know that our schools are not providing curriculum to our students. So, it's always good to celebrate our students and to allow their family to come and celebrate as well. Um, so I'm a city

299
02:09:03.440 --> 02:09:18.880
alumni and I'm a former student and I know firsthand that schools are about places where students build character, build skills, get a chance to make credits and go to summer school and do field trips. Um, and so it's really

300
02:09:18.880 --> 02:09:33.840
important to uplift our students. So, I just want to say thank you. Thank you to our educators, to our staff, to the Oak Park residents who stay until 8 o'clock to hear all this wonderful information. Um, and thank you to our students and families who are continuing to invest in

301
02:09:33.840 --> 02:10:06.560
res. Thank you. Item number seven, call for section 8 of the open meeting act for the purpose of discussing the letter of agreement with bargaining opa. A P

302
02:10:06.560 --> 02:23:37.399
A O P A. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Okay. We're not going close s clos close session. We will open the doors once we come out of close session. All right. Um, we will

303
02:23:37.680 --> 02:24:35.240
be approval of the letter of agreement with the team and ASA. We'll move this number renovation project. approves the discussion group.

304
02:24:45.280 --> 02:27:24.399
Be afraid. Royal 45. Yes. That way. You think you do? Okay. Never. I didn't know that. I have

305
02:27:24.399 --> 02:28:20.479
observed. or not. Would you guys have to have a superintendent by a certain time for school, >> right? So there's yeah there is like a state

306
02:28:20.479 --> 02:28:36.240
but um entities such as when you take these classes for search they show you the guidelines um the importance of when the

307
02:28:36.240 --> 02:28:52.319
superintendent should be should come in. So I think what you're saying is to make sure that you're saying we have an entrance superintendent to stay here until the end of the school year. Um it was just

308
02:28:52.319 --> 02:29:08.160
