uh on the for the next year 26 27 status quo yeah no major changes no mea break taking Thursday Friday um taking a break I think we're at they're taking two weeks off for Christmas starting that Monday I don't know even
know what day that is but um yeah there's two weeks there for Christmas they're still taking a day off in between semester breaks no more quarter no more end the quarter breaks though a lot of the teachers didn't think that that was necessary we did have a
conversation about graduation too change or not 26 27 like start date is quite late Y and so just Christmas break is a
lot um it's yeah I think they they go to school changing it after off of Memorial Day weekend that right but um we just decided to kind of keep it
the same just because kind of what it's been people have already had yeah that's what I worry about that year sothan already booked at the I'm sure there is out at the high thing too but so
yeah when they're usually getting out early anyway the seniors yeah you know I mean they're usually they will the follow like that F I don't know what they'll what they'll do because last day of school is a 30 so actually they get out before
Memorial Day on the 20th is their last day yep Y Memorial days late as well the meetings went good yeah for a Friday afternoon at 3:30 yeah everyone was ready to get done negotiations we've met quite a bit
um this past month met with staff we have ative agreement um met with both principles um met withen we justen and
Lisa I think next will probably be rol um and then I know the teacher group has requested again but um maybe we can start with some language at first but we need to wait for the state
land before we start talking um what else yeah sure are we okay to now now would be a good time I um I want to thank everybody that came out on Thursday night from the
community I mean I had a lot of guest that showed up you know that I had and everybody that invited I just really appreciate that I appreciate people from the community supporting us and and I think um we need to as a school and as a staff really get everyone to buy in to
something like that if we're going to do it we need to get everyone to buy in and to understand what we're doing and I do think that when when I was at that meeting I thought it was hard to understand what we're doing what our goal was like I get that what we want
you know we want these things we want these terms for what our students are but my understanding was what we want is a way for students to be able to see what our community has to offer and what programs are out there for them and kind
of steer them in the right direction of of you know so that they're ready to be out of high school or they're ready they know where their next steps are and to me the you know it I don't know if everyone understood that at that meeting
just from feedback I've gotten from community that was there and I kind of felt that way too I guess I was kind of like you know I understand but I think we're starting at the base of it which I get that too you know I just I think more of what I'll other people were
thinking what I was thinking is more what she's talking about in phase two you know so that was my thoughts on it but I thought it was a really good turnout and I'm I'm excited for the project because I think think that we definitely need it
like I was talking I mean I don't think we need everything that she showed us like the videos and all that stuff I I don't think that's necessarily what we need but we definitely need a a plan for our students that was my thought I I was
impressed 65 or 70 in you know in the the people that were there so was a good turnout um I would say early on in the process I was question it was going to go um just didn't really like take off um
but then you know I towards the end I kind of kind of I kind of just took a step back and watched everybody and you saw all the Post-it notes in all the different areas and you saw I think there was for me I think if I if I step
back and really things about it look at I think there was more invol than what I initially thought I woulde you know which which well that's kind of what I thought I'm like we're I just we're were starting at the base and I don't think I realiz that you know what I mean and and I thought the same as you
I'm I was probably thinking that we were going to we were going to land somewhere base two how she wased on that night and so my expectations were different from than
what reality was set up and I think I and I probably explained it wrong to some of my guests like cuz I thought Phase 2 was going to be more what we were where we were at so and I feel like the people that I was
sitting with at table know asked like is before it kind of got started what why why are we here're here we asking here but why are we here and so I tried my best and I just said know all of these decisions are made before I got on to out but I said you know of the videos I
watched and the things that I read end um I said I think this is what the end goal is you know and so they're like okay you know but how that all turned out you know what
they thought of it at the end I don't know you know um but it's you know it's a start and it would have been nice maybe to sort of talk about those questions that we were going to have to do Post-its because I'm not on the Fly it's when your thoughts come to you I
don't know not mine you T turned 50 have you turned 50 yet Katie anyway um long ways away it would have been nice just to be able to think about those those things you know throughout the evening as we were hearing things as all you know but I think it was good it looked like there was a lot of Post-it notes up
there I don't know how much of it was you know similar or whatever but I think it's it's a start you know I don't know what you know if there any other type Community I'm assuming we're going to be meeting again you know kind of having
some more input on things and yeah like she said they'll do that survey next and kind of drawing that all together and but I mean it was good it was good to see you know it was a lot of you know people that were part of businesses and
um people that see the graduates you know would have been nice to see some more some families you know and obviously those people have families but just people that maybe are just that don't have you know a business that they
were I did think it was a good mix of people from older to younger I mean I thought there were some older you know people in I mean I did think the age you know was good y y we just missed our diverse Community was right
divers we have to continue to that try to figure out get their right mm I don't know you have to go to their place of work and and kind of promote it that way when they know this I had to talked to a
couple students that were in the focus group and they thought it was good good questions good discussion um I talked to some staff that again just weren't sure what we were trying to grasp a little bit you know they're like I I understand
what we're trying to do but I just don't know I don't you know it's just right now it's like they didn't they want to make sure they're like we just need to know what what one staff member said said to me we just need to know what we want at the end and what we need to do to get there
as a teacher as staff and I'm like I get that and I think that's coming I said I think like again this is just the face you know what I mean I so I think again they also thought like we need to know what to do you know which is good that
they I just think we need some clarification like I mean I know we've made it clear but maybe make it more clear that th this money that we're spending is not coming out of our budget I think that's
been some staff's concern that they have heard differently and I'm like my understanding it's all from this grant but you know again I'm you know coming in so but you know in things that I've read you know it does state that but I just I just think we still need to kind
of continue to push that so that the community does know that that this is grant money that we're spending this yeah I think we've done that on the invi when I went to a really good one at the msba it was a school that did it
already and they had a really good presentation of what it was you know like why why why they did it and what it was and they even had you know they've had it long enough that they had data to be able to say this many students felt they were steered you know in you know
or whatever or so of reflected in thec yes what they had posted up right they've had it long enough is that Austin I can't remember I'd have to look back through my notes could have been oh look but yeah it was very good did had a
really good presentation starts yeah like our strategic plan right well that's kind of what got me excited about it was listening to their and like what they've been seeing and what their students are and Community are giving them his feedback and that's
what I was more and so I think that's why I thought we were going to be up here yeah let's get it done but yeah and I thought it was a perfect time though I'm on of time it wasn't too long and it wasn't too you know right we got
done early so that was yeah I mean yeah any other updates we've been on to number nine 9.1 superintendent sport report in enroll um you can see the enrollment report attached so I'm just going to get into
my report and in doing so um start out with the budget I know there's some things later on this evening to talk about with the budget and and I know we haven't had any uh finance subcommittee that will come later on as we start to
apply these parameters so um so that's kind of the Cadence that we'll have and we put together um some staffing decisions that that are in the budget projections going ahead and some of this is still going to be uncertain until we get the final outcome of the legislative
process there was um some information that just came out in the MSP news cookings today talking about the budget shortfalls and how Governor walls is adjusting his his recommendations for the budget and and one of the things for
example that's being talked about is cutting or significantly reducing special ed Transportation the school district so all M get acknowledged as a as a increase of 2.74% which is the inflationary index um
it really won't be 2.74% because some of those cuts that are coming on the backside so again as we get closer to the to the outcomes of the legislature we'll pull together that that Finance subcommittee pull all this together so that we can defend put
together what our final plan is for bring approval for the board um we had a roofing preconstruction meeting last week and during that time we talked about where we would um be placing the stockpile of the rock you'll start to
see that kind of over um on a triangular piece of ground um there's a lot of rock on the a lot and so we'll be utilizing what we can but we may get to a point where we will actually be selling some rock if we we don't have enough place to
so um they're going to start with uh some of the tuck poining and some of the facade work actually in April and the minimal noise impact it'll be over by the library area I already talked to Mrs
gik about that to let her know um we'll just do some trade coordination so that if there's a some like ACT Testing or something that is taking place in the library like those days there's not anything well done because there will be a little
noise not constant noise but um by doing the library area to while the black working get in and start doing their work they're going to start laying down materials on site um I believe May 26th
so um not too much longer we're going to start to see a lot of activity and we'll start spending down some of that fund from the A bonds that Jackie referenced in her report um we've already talked a bunch about our visit knowledge works and so I'm not going to get into that
too much more we talked about calendar legislative updates um like I said before there's still a lot up in the air because of the split right now it's 6767 split so um there's going to be
some horses that are traded up legislative process there is some talk about ltf available for Brooking projects and we both sides of that we talk to One lobbyist and they're saying oh it's not
very hopeful not very promising and he talked to some others they're saying oh this is the most traction that it's had in a while so um so again we'll we'll wait to see um we've already mentioned the tentative agreement um last month I shared with you that we had done a a
little culture survey a 10 question survey of staff and there were results that um came back there were a couple things uh that were very positive I understand my role and that was um there was high results of that 98% of
the staff reported positively to that 96% nearly 97% stated um I know it's expected of me in my role so um so those are all good a couple of areas where we've identified some opportunities for improvement or opies um one statement
there's somebody that encourages me at work for my professional development we had um we have some grow highe areas there that's 86 or 87 or excuse me 89% um I might need to borrow your glasses Jackie and then uh I receive
praise for doing a good for doing good work regularly 78% and I think there's some opportunities that our team is going to look at doing whether it's something at the board table or recognize contributions of our staff or something
more that we do within this among the staff members but we want to find out and get some input from the teachers on um what we can do to improve those results so again trying to use some some data to make some good decisions on how we can make some differences um Food Service I'm going to be meeting with
toer to talk more about how we can continue to utilize our fund balance some of the things that they've already done have been received very well they've talked about how they can continue to enhance what they're doing with the um salad bar options as well as
a little more frequency of the chef on site because again that that gets a lot of enthusiasm and kids involved um and then the chamber outstanding educator award there was a recognition that was there and it was fun to to surprise uh
quite literally nany St Jen and I went to that she had no idea that this was going on um we asked her why she thought she was there and she said well I thought they were just trying to recruit Lyall to join the chamber and so um so it was kind of fun and and uh Mrs morit
had a chance to say a few words and did an outstanding job of of representing the district in doing so and just spoke very eloquently about all that Mrs cers contributed over her uh very very positive tenure in the district um so
again just uh some different things and I've been asked to provide some leg testimony and we'll see where that goes it's talking about how we count instructional time in schools and and pretty excited to have been invited to participate in that because it talks about how during the school year if
there's like 4 like example I some kids that are doing some 4 activities during the school year that that could be counted as instructional opportunities and how we recognize that so that's um that's right up our alley here in PEX we have a number of kids that are
involved pretty excited about that so that's all I have and uh again like I said we're going to start seeing a lot more activity with the roofing project coming coming up pretty soon so um I guess one thing that I didn't include in my report but at
our um meeting just briefly before we started here tonight we had negotiations and Len did share that we have some issues with the flooring in that elementary school we have an independent evaluation come in and we're waiting for
the report but there are a number of issues with that flooring it's starting to hop up and bubble in some places if you've been through the school the cafeteria noticed that and there's other places in the building as well so um that's one we're going to keep an eye on and we'll be bringing a solution forward
to the board so you know what we're going to do there going forward we're going to have to fix it suppose it's not warranty I mean it's not that's what we're figuring out we had an independent representative come out from Shaw and they're they're going to tell us if it's under warant and getting obviously Anderson involved
too because they were the construction manager right it's not our doing it's somebody else there's got to be some accountability so um as far as the roof like where they're bringing the where are they going to put all that stuff because with graduation and stuff I
don't we don't want it out in the front I don't feel like yep great question so that's exactly what we talked about um we'll put it and I'm going to get my directions wrong but in this parking lot kind of in the northwest corner of that parking and
they'll coordin it all off so that it's not accessible um not a Construction trail there'll be a couple those big storage containers that will be on site and it's going to go right underneath um a security camera so that's monitored
and assessed accordingly so yeah and we could be talked about that we said we need to keep it when we didn't want it anywhere else where there was going to be traff like summer school activities and we know there's things that happen in the gym so we say as far
away from all those things as possible and the other place where there will be some cording off will be the parking lot just outside the library we have remind you how many phases is this ref two two phases two years yep two
years so they'll start this may conclude right around the beginning of the school year and then the following year doing the same P questions all right 922 principles Bo report good evening
I'll start out with my report I am so excited for Shar month we had 75 students complete a blackout on our Bingo cards which is absolutely amazing so I had the breakdown there um I purchased gifts for the kids they got their own bowl and a cup and a whole
bunch of little goodies and stuff for and they each got to take two books which is awesome on March 3rd we hosted math night which was an incredible evening I know that we had more than 60 students there I just know that we had
30 um about 30 parents through our survey but we had it was just an evening of so much fun parents interacting with their kids playing a lot of games and interacting it was so awesome to see a lot of positive feedback from our parents our math team met this morning
too and just talked about all the great things from math night and it was just overwhelmingly very positive um I just want to thank the National Honor Society members who volunteered their time to assist the students they were incredible watching them interact with these one these young
kids it's so awesome to see so they did an incredible job with that we have an amazing elementary math team that helped put all the games together on the 19th and 20th I know it's been talked about we had knowledge works here they gathered a lot of insight we had our elementary leadership team and then we
had eight kids from third grade eight kids from fourth grade and eight kids from fifth grade and it was fun to see the progression you know third graders talking all the way up to the fifth graders and really can articulate what their learning environment looks like and what they love about that and what they love in the classroom and with
their teachers end of the third quarter was last week report cards and progress reports and stuff will be coming home at the start of next week uh there's no school on the on March 21st with that the yesterday today was a

forunate of a graduate she had several teams from her high school I know that their leadership teams as well as just different um grade level students that got to participate in that and it was just a very meaningful inclusive process
I I love hearing anding kids and what they Envision for themselves and then the other part is part of congatulations any questions for Jennifer okay 9.3 curriculum teaching and learning board
report good evening uh so um Sonia and I met with actually Sonia and I were going to she um had another meeting come up but met with the middle school and high school Ela and Math teachers and and looked at data from the fall nwaa
results to the winter nwaa results and looked at a chart that showed one quadrant was low achievement low growth low achievement high growth and all the way around and good discussion on why do you think students are where they are
what could we do differently with our instruction to get these students to move to a different quadrant um why think they're here what um what changes can we make is it something that
we have to do grade wide is it something just in my classroom that um maybe I need to take a closer look at so really good discussion with that we have our achievement and integration plan we did um get approved
to change that previously we had a math integrationist and a math interventionist and now our updated plan in includes a stien for our literacy lead who takes um time during her school
day and after school to attend webinars and gather all the information that we need with the read act and um her role as a litery Le another portion of that is to look at hiring a cultural liaison so that we can
brid through that with our Hispanic families and just like with our knowledge works the other night um if we would have had someone that out in the community to help get those um families to participate in the things that we
have going on in school and then the third thing is to pay teachers to teach summer school previously that has been paid with covid money and that money is gone so we're going to use the grant to be able to um
support those students a little bit more during the summer and then finally with um assessments access testing is complete we're working on having teachers complete all the training to be able to administer the
MCAS and testing begins next week Wednesday just add one thing to the achievement integration um We are continuing our partnership with ederton in that um ederton was no longer declared as a

report any other questions or comments you'll notice that the presentation of the calendar this year is a little different than what you may have become accustomed to in the past I do too I like it better too it's easier to read myself and I I wanted to make a particular point of that because I know
that there's been a few times of nashing of teeth and maybe pulling of a little bit of hair by Deb but she's worked through canvas sorting it all out but she's done a fantastic job um yeah I think the presentation's really attractive and then like we talked um we
worked with those established book ends and then how things fit in between with the the Christmas break Easter break and those types of things so um and it is it is very inclusive process I think our board members can attest to that that we
have input from all levels in the building and the teachers did a great job of taking it back to their teams bringing it Forward I think one point that I would just clarify language wise on the con on the on the calendars um where before it said work day we're just
labeling all those in service and they can be used as a work day and if there needs to be a training it can happen but more the intent is that it's a work day just to keep The Language clean and consistent across the board because it did create some confusion for people what what does it really mean to be a
work day is an everyday work day and so just clarifying that for everybody that looks good thank you any other questions or comments there's a teacher work day on June 23rd does it yeah it says June 23rd at
the bottom of the it's next year or it's 26 on the side it I'm just telling you just wanted to see if you're paying no June 2 yeah June two Jun was
like June 23rd okay there would't be anything that comment's very small why it is and there's no space there but it does say teacher work day June so it should say yeah well I don't know that's what we'll get that cleaned we'll get
that cleaned up yep yep all right very very good all right so just the first oh and they move the elementary conf February to March so get in the way of wrestling had that issue couple years in

[Music] questions coms ation all favor signify by saying i i p the same sign motion passes 11.7 budget parameters
CL all right board members um as you see attached to the packet there are um again parameters that we have worked on and we took into account some of the factors that we could when we put those
together in terms of trying to deal with some some budget adjustments in through um attrition or vacancies that might occur and then as we've done that we also have considered
um some needs that we can fill and and we've found that we can make a recommendation to um look at a counseling position because we have funds and if I make a mistake here Jackie and Jen please help me out but we
have funds that we can utilize from our preschool funding that we receive to cover the cost of a teacher that's currently paid for through our title funds and and then those funds can then be in turn utilized and applied to cover
the cost of the counsel so um no impact the general fund we can do that because we are considered a title one school district and um that's that's uh a way that we can do that that's been um asked
at the state level if that's feasible and and indeed it is so we're okay there um we do have a resignation that we acted upon through personel that would save us about $91,000 out of the colony um we also
anticipate that with some staffing changes that we're able to make an adjustment to um provide a an additional El ml teacher at the at the elementary school um and that gets to the numbers
that you can see there we currently have 82 students that are pre five with one teacher and then at the middle school level we have 28 students at the high school level we have 24 students and we have two teachers now granted we do have
a par professional at the elementary however that individual is also served in some capacity as a translator for us so she's not always available in providing those services so um to manage some case loads for our teachers we thought that that would be a reasonable
thing to do um there's the recommendation that we reduce the Middle School High School counseling secretarial position um again it's because of some efficiencies that we can build in the utilization of technology
so that would save us about $43,000 um we have projected the addition of a special education teacher which we've talked about um at a number of times that in particular at that special board meeting so you can kind of see how through the parameters that we
put together all those together um in terms of the general fund need capital expenditure impacts um we know we need to address some curriculum purchases so we see that reflected and we've talked before at this at this table about some
needs to improve some furniture at the high school so we tried to allocate some resources there um and then we have those other things that we know we have to pay for for example the facility Bond payment that's that's something that we're protecting um
when we start paying off that that debt for the rof project that we had and then ltfm expenditure impact you can see what those items are right now this is again not knowing if there's going to be any ltfm funding for roofing projects so um
trying to take into account all those variables and these are just parameters right now that kind of set the road map when we get closer to the actual budget adoption that's where I said we'll pull together that that Finance subcommittee go through all those items and then present the final budget to the
board which Jackie does an outstanding job helping us with so any questions that that the board has on these things um some of these are we're dealing with some deferred maintenance on on some of those things when you look at concrete
repairs and the pulson audio visual and the gymnasium sound system and because those are utilized not just for functions of the school but also coincide with some of our Safety and Security uh components of the district
we're able to utilize those as ltfm expenditures which is a good thing so go ahead say the reduction of of position does that mean
like the the two secretaries down at the C secretary so y then we no longer have the counseling secretary yeah position but
we do have another vacancy in the district for that is person to move sorry I'm just processing no that's okay so I was just going to ask like how fast is this budget going to get done you know is it g to be like we're going to be trying to
find these positions in June July when there's nobody out there the idea is that and then this is this is where it's it's very hard because we
won't know exactly what our final outcome will be till May but we're going to put together our best projections based what we know with the 2.74% use our estimations and and we also know that that's part of it when it
comes to um come to the reimbursements with special education but the idea would be that if we have these parameters we can start kind of working towards this pathway and and looking at these shifts but know that there's going to still be some final determinations
need to be made about how much we utilize fund balance to go forward with the final budget option contingent upon what comes out of the legislation but no we don't want to sit on our hands because you're right we
there's a limited pool to begin with well I mean I just know like you know we struggled trying to find school counselor last year in elementary and the dean students position so that's like my fear is that you know okay you
wait you're not going to have anybody or they're not you know I just I'm thinking like now is the time that people are starting to advertise for open positions and you know are we going to be you know not being able to fill potential
positions I don't think you want to wait for right and I think just to clarify the de of students this Mor present both and then was given the opportunity to say which is a priority she selected of
students versus a counselor and then as we've worked through this process we've identified now we have the resources again with some Financial to pay for the council whether that was the concern last year Hada students and a counselor
with General and I think there was concern about adding too many positions at once when we really when they're all new positions and we really didn't know what the impact would be and what and what they need right right I think that's why that was why I didn't think that we should
have done both I mean that some of the discussions yeah it was so that was no no I'm glad you brought it up because want to make sure right we'll hop to it any other questions
discussion where where are the responsibilities maybe maybe can't pass that I don't know just to cut a full position when we talk about hiring like there's been talk about special education department is that
where some of this shared stuff is going to no that will be the special and the front office of the high school will address the needs that that that means that we're adopting everything yeah as as parameters yep as
these this gives us the road map to go forward but not necessarily what we're doing depending on the but you're depending on the final funding yeah but it gives us the the opportunity to start moving forward on some of these things so that we can start we start
okay I move we um approve the budget parameters as listed motion second all those favor by saying the same sign hi motion passes thank you
