conversation all those in favor say I I those opposed motion passes okay uh so we have added that to the agenda do we have a motion to adopt the agenda I move to approve the agenda
motion by Monica second by Roger any conversation all those in favor say I I those oppos Mo pass first up is recognition um I see what we have on there a hungry dog I think I explained
that to the board right so and Mara does a great job it get posted in the PA print as well but um very well received so and one thing I want to point out um some of these folks I don't really care if they're Dasher or
you know we um sub out our meal program as well we're recognizing anybody that works in our district because technically they work with our kids and we kind of pay their bill as well just kind of differently so we have a presentation of the high
school data along with what we heard for the other building last week that's good evening I'm Nate I'm the high school data coach uh some of my responsibilities include support
administrative work in collecting data whether that be through schoy um needing assessments anything like that um I also inte great data through technology and using Excel spreadsheets when I'm compiling all of this data that I'm
going to present to you tonight so tonight I'm going to over our two building goals uh the first goal that we had is that during the 2023 2024 school year every student graduates future ready for college and or a career as measured by redefining ready
benchmarks um the percentage of students that were considered Future Ready was 87.8% there's a pretty extensive group of benchmarks that all students need to try and reach to either be career ready or college ready and pretty much 100% of
the students that are college ready are also considered ready uh those benchmarks would include things like um to achieve College ready status you have to have at least GPA grer than 2.8 completion of Algebra 2 or course for college credit with a see or better or
met standardized testing benchmarks with the act or the FCA a career ready student however doesn't have quite as high a benchmark uh they have to meet two or more of the following indicators greater than 90% attendance in the nth grade at least 25 hours of communy
service job placement experience a CTE certification course a dual credit pathway or participated in two or more extracurricular activities uh we we struggled with the ninth grade um attendance per because these night
graders were there during Co and that was when as soon as you test positive you automatically quarantine so to try and get that 90% attendance for this particular grade was extremely difficult so that's why that that little than
there um this is decided by our service CL correct well actually bigger than that it was uh I don't know 2017 I think the national superintendent uh Association
um started this initiative and through research found these benchmarks for both of the areas and then we adopted it this would be we started working on this three years ago U looking into this and started looking at these metrics in terms of our kids and so forth so it's
research backed initially from the national I think it was it's either the national school board or national superintendent Association so then it's again this is and just ask some questions I understand is it only nth grade
attendance so like 10th 11th and 12th grade doesn't it doesn't matter not that it doesn't matter but there is a direct correlation based on Research from your ninth grade attendance to success in
high school and then success Beyond and for the most part if you are showing up to school in ninth grade that trend is going to continue as well but ninth grade is a very clear indicator of how nth grade attendance obviously outside
of you know the co years whatever but in general ninth grade attendance is a very good indicator of if you're going to be successful in high school and that's you know quite honestly true of your work right the very first the most important thing is you showing up it doesn't mean you don't have to do anything when you
get there but if you show up you're probably going to learn you're probably going to do your work so forth whether that's at school or in your job you know college as well soers I don't know what 25 hours yes
and yeah yeah Trish was G be would be tonight to explain a lot of that she she she compiles all the data gives it to me and I question okay but I've talked to we had plent of meetings together these have to be done by the time they graduate to be considered college
career so this is kind of a snapshot this is you're going to see three slides they're going to be snapshots of a much larger document that's kind of what they consider our scorecard um so the first piece of our scorecard is that
87.5% cl24 was considered future so what does that mean um so 63.6% at a GPA greater 2.8 46.7% 2 um they got a see better first
for college credit 54.2% in that and then 15% had standardized testing at our MCA Benchmark for career ready um the attendance at 90% was at 57% we already kind of talked about that
19.6% me the Met service hours 24 25 hours service 98.1% completed workplace learning experience 18.7% completed their certification certification course 1.9% went dual
credit pathway and 66.4% went qu curricular activity uh we're going to talk a little bit more about what we offer for con concurrent courses and our advanced placement courses couple future the next
one so for our career Pathways this is basically where our students are going 6 half% are going to natur person 7 and half% are arts and communication 33.6% health science technology 3.7% business 23.4% engineering manufacturing
and 25.3% so this is kind of another snapshot of where our students are headed upon graduation so this is a list of our concurrent courses um and for a school the size of plan view this is a pretty extensive
list the schools that we're offering through University of Minnesota Southwest State University and Riverland Community College um all of these courses you can get college credit in whether or not that transfers depends on univ go to
afterwards but it is a it's a rather extensive list for a school that has you know just over 400 student and we we teach that um either we the co- teer we have teachers to in the school teaching so this is kind of a breakdown
of um what the students actually save and and I'm actually gonna let Mike go over this because he he got this and actually put this live together so we can explain those numbers a little bit more a little better sure so this is something we got just from the University of Minnesota so the courses
that we offer to the University of Miss Minnesota total students that took it um all of our students uh got a grade of three or better so they earned that credit or potentially earned that college credit um and then if you look
down at the very bottom the last one $81,000 is what total they would have paid if they went and got this in college um as a school uh if you look up then uh we paid the $145 registration
fee so that's $4,700 but then we also get back in state aid 1,700 so really as a district we paid $33,000 uh so that these 33 kids could get those credits and that that's a
savings of a significant amount of money and this is just the courses that we we do through the University of Minnesota this would be similar to the same type of breakdown uh for the other two uh colleges that we work through so is this just seniors or
is this more than just seni uh Juniors and seniors y you kind of have to remember to that that $3,000 cost of the district is probably saving us money when these kids maybe would have went PSO cost so all of these courses that we're
offering is essentially trying to keep those kids within the PDM district and you said that our teachers teach them so well they're usually in conjunction with the school but some are
online I just have to give plud to the teachers who are doing du enrollment courses because it is a tremendous opportunity for our students to be able to take college courses that still be within the conf of our community here um
and I know they've done work to be able to and like I said for school decides to have do do a lot of SI we have a pretty exensive next SL please so Pathways and dual credit this slide just tells you what we have for
dual credit offerings we offer a truck driving program Rochester Fire Department technology certificate Operating Engineers so this is our dual credit pathway real life experience so for C offerings this is
what we offer uh we offer eight extracurricular fall activities six extracurricular winter activities seven extracurricular spring activities four Minnesota State High School league activities and eight co-curricular activities uh this is an extensive list it's one of the biger list you're going
to find the schools soueast all right our next goal was during the 2023 24 school year every student will graduate from high school uh we did graduate with 100% 100% graduation rate however upon graduation
day only 97.2% of the class I graduated that was 105 out of 108 kids but by August 31st we were at 108 out of 100 days gradu so this is just a chart of our graduation progress over the years um
stting in 2019 you can see that's if we made our goal went up but overall our trend is uh now we're going to start talking a little bit about the MCA just kind of give you a snapshot of of where PDM fell
within the MCA test so you can see that for both for all three math reading and science uh we were well above State average 56.8% exceeded for ma 55.9 for 46.7
now we're going to take a look at each one individually and kind of see where they're ranking over the years and what you're going to see is that 2024 we took pretty pretty good jump up and we had more students that matter exceeded um and even more that partially M what was
really nice to see is the does not meet trend went down on on all three so for math you can see that we had a significant portion that met um again pretty signant por exceeded in this reading was pretty much the same
thing does not mean you can see a decrease again um again we also had signant amount that exceed much so we've seen an increase in scores
uh for science does need was was identical for 23 24 but we did have a bigger jum jump that met question Y and I'm looking at
2019 okay looking at Reading I realized Co didn't there but my question is like what were we doing in 2019 that was seemingly working well we're at 55 now what are the action
STS get our there probably the biggest thing really nothing has Chang so in terms of what we're teaching and new teachers coming in and being hired nothing is really change so the only thing that changes
from year to year is the test so I'd be interested what was the state average in 2019 was that also I don't have that that that's that's what I would be looking at is where was the state average were we still above State average and how much more were we above State average because
the test is dynamic it changes from year to year and one year a school might get a test where they focused on areas that test and PM might not focus on Aries that test the one school might look really good and PM might look really bad the next you that test might focus on
something that PM Focus strongly on so then PM is look really good where other schol might really bad but they also give there also AC AC scor t scor or not MCA practice test online yeah so that
help if the kids doing is that helping to prare them well you're you're trying to you're assuming that kids are going to do that well yeah I mean you know I I look back at one test that every kid wants to pass right that's the driver's
test for driver's test is 46% so I mean that's one where parents are encouraging them parents are taking them out driving parents are studying for them the failure rate is still 46% so you're looking at a SN shot of
one kid in the morning taking a test they have not really had a chance to study for just because they take a preest doesn't mean that's what that test is necessar look like you can take all the preac tests you want will it help you a little bit yes but it's not going to be the ACT you know when you
stud for that driver test you know what's going to be on it and you still 46% rate so you always have to take these with kind of's going to be on that I'd also go back to uh what he said
about you know what do we focus on or um if you look at the state standards right so that's kind of what the test is built off of but uh these tests happen in April when we still have a month and a half left of school so just as an example there very well could be a
question or questions or a section on the test that we've decided in our progression that stuff is going to be taught in April and so our kids haven't even really seen it I think that's true across the board um subjects school from
school to school it's just it's kind of you know it's good to look at this stuff as one one piece of the overall picture and not as the overriding thing that determines whether our kids were successful in learning this
material so then our nth to 12 have F Bri is that we don't use fast Bridge do [Applause] you that's that's the ship all right right thank
you I think that was a great analogy of the driving test honestly well okay next up is public comments so just a reminder everybody has a thre minute um time frame that
they can use uh you're addressing the board not anybody else in the public um be respectful no personal attacks um no clapping cheering anything like that and it looks like Katie Brown is
first good evening everyone my name is ktie brown I grew up on a dairy farm here in milville I graduate from El middle school and after graduation I went to school to teach a on graduation I taught for a couple years in two different schools where I adapted my
teaching style to diverse needs of my students including iips Bible for plans and different social economic needs teaching was challenging especially with a student who seemed to be determined to make my life difficult that was until he
got hurt in another class and decided instead of going home to come into my prep hour and sit down and I said why are you here you hate school you don't like my class and he said I don't really care to be home I live with my grand an
hour away and my parents aren't part of my life anymore it was that moment that I decided to give him empathy even though he has made my life difficult and ask questions it is at that time that I realized his social economic status was
very different than many of students in my classroom this is an example of teachers understanding diversity equity and inclusion now that I'm an employee of a Fortune 500 agriculture company I work with people from diverse backgrounds
I've learned from colleagues from Kenya India Chile Hungary and a longtime employee who overcame Prejudice that he was taught by his parents in the South these experiences have taught me to respect and learn from different perspectives in the leas Never once has
anyone of these individuals with different backgrounds or beliefs or upbringings pushed their beliefs on me and said we've learned from one another and formed a greater team and brought different perspectives to the table I don't have to agree with someone else's beliefs to respect them as an individual
let me repeat that I don't have to believe in someone else's beliefs to respect them as an individual while Dei certainly includes the lgbtq community it also encompasses a wide range of individuals and
experiences such as these related to race gender disability and social economic status the goal is to create a space where everyone can Thrive regardless of their background I want to stress that you might want to focus on one section of
diversity and equity and inclusion But it includes so much more and when you think of our community there are a ton of kids that go hungry or could go hungry if we didn't support them there are a ton of kids that don't have their first language as English they are
struggling and if we don't help our teachers learn how to work with them and include them and help them through those challenges we are studying our students up for failure and that goes across the board so although it does include the
community of lgbtq it is not the focus and if that's your focus that's okay but it is not the focus of what de Andi is yes thank you K and now Sydney hello my name is Sydney Brown and
I am in eth grade of PF School in today's diverse world it is crucial for educators to be trained in diversity equity and inclusion this this training isn't about changing personal beliefs or agreeing with everyone's
lifestyle choices instead it's about fostering an environment where every student feels valued and respected it's a framework aimed at promoting fair treatment and full participation of all
people especially those from historically marginalized GRS here's a quick breakdown diversity refers to the presence of of differences within a given setting this includes race gender
sexual orientation disability religion and more Equity focuses on fairness and Justice ensuring that addressing IM imbalances and providing necessary resources I want you to take a
moment and think about those students whose families struggle with food insecurity if you not believe this is a pan issue you are wrong inclusion is about creating environments where everyone feels
welcomed respected and valued think of Dei training like learning to be a good Gardener you don't have to love every type of plant but you do need to understand how to care for each one so your that your garden can Thrive
similarly BDI training equips teachers with the tools to support all students regardless of their backgrounds or identity when educators are well versed in DPI princi schs the positive outcomes are
profound enhance students engagement and performance students who feel included are more likely to participate in Excel a more Harmon harmonious classroom environment respect and understanding to reduce confidence and Foster
collaboration preparation for a diverse World students learn to appreciate and navigate differences preparing them for the real world let's commit to DVI training in our schools and create a nurturing environment where every student can
flourish as a student I want my teachers to continue to learn how to make every student feel welcome we have some of the best teachers and the goal of this training is to make them even better I can tell you from firsthand experience that no teacher has ever asked me my
pronouns or if I want to be Ling instead they have encouraged all of us to be kind each other and every D everybody everybody wants a the best friend children but we have to find out what is
the best and we have to find out we have to educate ourselves what's best I understand about Dei I studied it myself but I think there's just something
that's um I think there's a challenge here that we all need to look at I hear what they're saying I agree with some of it but I don't agree with all of it um whose children are
they parents need to be more involved with what they bu that are being taught there's been some issues in the past with school boards um who have had problems with some
School Board issues with Dei and I think we need to look at that can't just blanketly say that it's perfectly fine in there was a documentary in theaters with the title whose children are they I believe every person here needs to see
this documentary and you rented or can scam it's a document of focus on the education all teacher the film features empowered parents Brave teachers and Frontline educator experts who share their experience and insights what was
happening in public schools today there were many Minnesota teachers who were in interview and in film and I I believe that watching this would benefit everybody here we need to look at both sides of the issue and not just one and go by
feelings and it's our duty to educate ourselves there's another series called trapped it's on a rumble app and it's on the El news and it's was presented by it was um from a teacher um who interviewed Parents Principal teachers and
administrators and so first year it's very that's going they're doing we're having a season and I hope more people watch it I got school M to actually check out these things now I look at the University of Minnesota ethics study
plan for the teachers P to 12 and it's been proposed by the m in October and it's very very disturbing what I'm reading so there's two sides to this issue it's really what I'm saying and I'm quite
concerned it involves the and other um divisive issues and I think it is okay what's what I'm what's happening now is there 11 companies now that have stopped Dei diverse Equity
inclusion and it's not what they thought and it's not working and it's dividing so Boeing says it's become a disaster there's now like 13 states now that have stopped this program it's not
the it's not that it's bad but it's that it needs to be looked at further University of Michigan University rejected it so we really need to take a look this in all kinds of different ways not just one way so I'm G to pass this
to everybody so some of the stuff that might be going on while is i' got a few extra if anybody wants to watch any of these programs are very from Al I don't think I can say any more
any better than the first two speakers we we live in a new world a different world a changing world we go to places where we are surrounded by different people we need to know how to communicate with them that's all of us
our teachers need to learn need to know how to communicate with them in a very special setting and it involves trust that's why that student went to your classroom when they had the issue because they trusted you something about
you caring and communicating I commend you for that and I commend all the teachers who are willing to go out and improve their communication skills so they can read students better
meet them where they are and then move on to all of the science and the math and the sociology and my history and I hope the school board recognizes their primary job is to
support the teachers becoming better teacher be happy and I'm Andy farmer hot Minnesota taxer in the community I have concern over the MCA scores I know they're um tough
because it uh not a lot of uh information given to the teachers ahead of time I know there's some pre- tests that can be done um but having only about a 50% 50 to 60% asking for proficiency
with students concerns me um I was I I'd like to know what the plan is going forward to try to help improve that and there's been some talk with uh about the reduced lunch students I think there a a group that's been identified that maybe
struggles with those tests like to know what you doing already identified try to help them do better um I think there is a motion made tonight about discussion about the district advisory committee that's
something that's been state law since 2008 for 16 years it's in your world's best Workforce 14 15 something even has a sign District it's part of your policy 603 but this district has never start
with that and that's disappointment it's an opportunity for the community to come alongside the teachers and understand with school state
statute I gu 120 b11 I'll I'll read what it says here it says that the district advisory committee each School District must establish an advisory committee
for comprehensive uh for to ensure active Community participation All Phases of planning improving instructure and curriculum affecting State and District academic standards the world best Workforce on page 15 talks about the district advisor committee and I
have one two four five about eight points what the goals are of that District advisory committee and in your policy 603 States under under section four District advisory committee the school board will
establish an advisory committee to ensure active community community participation in All Phases of planning and improving constructure the curriculum affecting State District academic standard it talks about that should be made two3 advisor committee I
would encourage the board seriously starting get committee activity inment so inside the teach maybe have community members that want to have tutor or give [Music] ideas information principles
reports right yeah um that's attached there and I'm sure you guys looked at but um letters training we continue with that so we are at a half day uh training tomorrow for our teachers we do that we just finished up one last last week or
week and a half ago last week I think with our work day they took three hours that day so uh December 13th is our next um synchronous day so we're going along very well it's tough It's a lot of work but I've heard really good things from my staff so um we're here and learning
some good information Halloween pra has has looked different over the years but we uh We've kept kept going and kept doing it of course it's just a great day for the kids they like to have that little break after working so hard and attached length there so you can see all little
kids Nick M does a great job um getting the kids in front and editing that video and put a little music to it so yeah it's nice that we can pass it around and show it to parents at their Leisure and and add it on to grandparents aunts and uncles all that stuff conferences we had last Thursday and we finished up
yesterday we had a 98% attendance rate it was awesome we matched um our meet the teacher so basically I became to meet the teacher came two conferences this is the highest we've had well probably since I've been here usually it starts at meet teacher
we fall off a couple percentage Points each year each time not this time so uh that's good good news our parents are stepping up and and showing up and having great conversations with our our teachers so we love love that and then our veter day program we had um
yesterday so that was really good Mr Walton does a nice job with that and high school and getting the band and and we had lot more veterans we'd like to see a course fill the gym with our veterans but um I'd say easily double if not triple what we've had years past so
um know we want to continue to grow that and recognize those guys so so yeah that was a a great thing and then just this morning taker I'll add here um t started a dut um I don't know call donut day or whatever they've done it in all
the buildings now we the last one but yeah the kids were sugared up this morning had to choose a dut decorate their donut and I'm sure my teachers are a little tired today after conferences and then a little sugary kids run around but that was a fun thing that talker is done they'll do it they did this morning
and finish it up tomorrow two more grades so fun things going on several things I'll touch on some of them that I put in the package just a quick thing on fifth and sixth grade math Wizards it's our second year of doing it format we did last year we're
we have all students participate we used to be it down to 12 so get the last event after the three competitions in local schools we do host just a PM event so that is our second year of doing that it's a positive change number two there I talk about this every month we are in
the thick of it we we are doing a ton of activities last Wednesday was kind of a special night walked around the junior high after school hours he got 27 girls of Mrs posi last night of Hair Club walked down the band Mrs Carlton has a bunch of students first the crochet Club
down the hallway to Mr Williams Mrs Bagley for leg robotics we have West Martin Ry McKenzie they volunteered forever 15 16 kids doing that a competition early December I finished up in Mr K's room he's doing 17th grade
math at our first competition and one the event but just as you as you left there you're thinking okay four different things teach us staying after school hours not going home with their families have all these boys and girls doing something positive and I don't think that's the normal thing in every
school we're very proud of that um like I said I keep bringing that but just last Wednesday it was like quite the night all these different things going on um several of things I'll probably go to B there gift and talent I put his number eight there Mrs Mia she's e8th grade English I ask her for updates
occasionally I cannot explain all this but there's a long long list of things she again like I said does 8th grade English and then she is the entire P2 gift and tal I think this is maybe her third year we've added a lot to that program we're always trying to find ways for a little more time more time always
be beneficial but that's outstanding kind of going back up number six the JB musical Jitterbug Juliet um the entire fourth fifth and sixth grade got to watch that show this afternoon at the junior high it I I said this before you
know it's just the 78 gym and the stage as you all know in Elgen but from what they've done over the years the lighting the sound system Etc they put on an amazing show um we've thoroughly enjoyed it they're performing Thursday night Friday night Saturday night and Sunday
afternoon this week Jitterbug Juliet talented 7th through 10th years from PM doing that Junior High egg day every year at the annual event November again as we know we have the best um egg Department State that's that's a fact Mr arzel Mr Henri Host this annual Junior
High event it's our students that want to plus about 10 other schools we had record breaking it was well over 300 this year um it's quite the thing to see promoting that whole egg you know education and then lastly I'm going just touch on last thing I save our Veterans
Day program we do have Macy Wy sitting here she's every month student council president we did have the eighth grade band at 7 eth grade choir we had 12 veterans I have the veterans at the end introduce themselves and say whatever they want to they talk about their years where they
did train that um it gets a little bit emotional I mean it's good for all of us to hear and my students but for them too it's a special special day and the last thing I'll just say I add you in there that's Macy's stuff as we already know she's a very busy talented young lady
she been extremely successful but I didn't write in there her message was really simple she told all of her students and staff the message about you know you get up sometimes we think we have to go to school we have to do our chores we have to go to a board meeting well she says don't look at it have to
we get to and I said that for years to you know you get to come to school I get to come to work there it's a lot better than some other options so her message was simple had many staff members talking about it many students so Macy did an outstanding job that's it thank
you where's your numbers at you know I knew you going to ask that so I checked that we're we're going to get it so we actually checked with all staff their advisor groups as of now we're going we're actually down to two students that are not participating in all the clubs
sports activities Etc and we listed them too we're over 30 I know Mr file sticker showed the high school all their things they do those activities we at the junior high with the fall winter spring the club the activities the knowledgeable map we play we're over 30 things that they can pick from but we're
down to two students who've never been 100% it's a long area though we're going to get them F yes what do we need to do to get that's right um I'd like to just clarify one thing quickly uh Julie to your question
so we don't have fast Bridge we haven't as a district made that investment K12 um we don't use fast bridge at the high school we do have a lot of other tools that each department May or use they use that might be things they develop themselves like schoology quizzes I know
just an as an example uh the science department has that's one of the main ways they assess on a on a continuous basis math department uses EXL um we talked about getting a uniform
kind of uh Benchmark assessment uh for English this year uh kind of hit a pause on that because from what I'm hearing uh the state is we were thinking about using ISL for our English classes but uh from a few people I talked with
it's likely that the state is going to choose one for K12 reading assessment and so we didn't want to start one and then have them pick a different system and have to switch gears and learn something new we're just continuing with
with what we are currently using in the so I just want to clarify that um I included some a numbers just as an interesting Point here we have over 200 of our high school kids are involved in
an a class um at least one uh they do all take so our freshmen all take uh careers and public speaking the careers is the EG is part of our egg program so that's a required class all other AD classes though are elective at the high
school so that's a pretty darn good number um in terms of participation at the high school in that program um I just real quick when I was writing this up I was thinking about all the stuff that our kids have had a chance to do in a variety of settings so I just listed a
few of those there I think it's really cool um you know blood drive in Haunted Woods for the community uh the Black Curtain showcase we had the Three Rivers uh band and choir Festival last week Clark mentioned the Middle School a challenge which is run by the high
school FFA um and this is just in the last couple weeks off the top of my head you know know in between even you know our two Sports Seasons so like there's there's just a lot of good stuff going on that that it's good for our community
good for our kids um Veteran Day program was really was really great my favorite part about it was I didn't I did some work setting it up and then I didn't do anything other than be there uh student council kids ran it the band in choire performed we had a great speaker um
student council kids uh we in here helping and talking with veterans that came for some donuts and coffee afterwards so it was really good positive event before we move on I want to do thank Buzz Christenson publicly for speaking at that so that was nice twist his arm a little bit we did a
great job U next part is we're looking at so right now P many years we've had a 12th grade senior pass so basically you hit certain expectations and you get certain privileges your senior year um we've
been talking for a little while now about what we could do for our 10th and 11th grade students and so we're we're right now looking at having some expectations that they need to be um and that they could gain a privilege or two
as the year goes on maybe into second semester all of this uh is Meeting those expectations and also their parent needs to approve uh that they get whatever privileges they decide on so those two pieces to that is
that something that Council has in uh totally separate yeah um and then finally I just put on some things about we we've tried to focus on over the past couple years how we get communication out to families and
I just kind of listed a couple of ways we do that and uh what that focus is so depending on if it's the or the high school updates JMC and school I would just like to have give a special shout out to the National Honor
Society and their Veterans Day signs yeah so my dad's 96y old somewhat Frankie free and more veteran and I bought him one of those signs and I was thinking oh it probably wouldn't be that big of a deal for him he's 90s 96 so went to pick up my mom for church took him that sign and it just made his day
put it front yard he was so proud of that so thank you National Society like I said didn't be good make much of an impact item but it just brighten up the station [Music] I the PM Battle of the
books that your CLK uh it's Mrs M's gift and talented grades yeah I'm just wondering what it's basically promoting reading and if they do do that grade read this book there's like six books maybe per grade you're going to add that up in the course when
it gets to the month of May the third grade this fourth grade this for moting reading got I'm just sound fun yep okay student member reports good evening everyone um this past month our student council has
stayed fairly busy not necessarily with many major events but with just kind of some smaller um behind the scenes work um like I had mentioned in the previous meeting we participated in the Park Retreat celebration here in plan view on October
29th decorating a Moana themed trunk for a beautiful night with over I think it was 550 kids at least that came through so that was great um beyond that we have kind of just been preparing for the holiday season with various activities
and events um geared towards different um ASP saer school so gearing geared towards our teachers and staff we've been been trying to think of ways to show appreciation to them so including um Christmas gifts for our teachers and
staff a possible staff breakfast other activities have been geared towards our student body kind of just our community as a whole including a possible holiday week and other events Associated within that holiday week um and a toy drive so
overall we've been stay busy um but just looking forward to continuing to work with all aspects of our district and our community this so thank you guys great
aw have a few reports here we start with maintenance reports questions that report report our percentages are tracking where we want bottom line I do want to
go to second page down um show in the middle of the page there you see where we've got title for 103% which is very skewed for this time of year but it's a smaller dollar amount and that we are not over budget on the titled um Federal program what happens is our benefits
follow along and that becomes a part of the year the budget revision reconciliation so next month when we bring that um back to you you'll see that back in line it will be at 100% it shows that it's fully expended for the year um no reason for concern we draw those funds down once we have the
budgets approved with they have been and then on the last page too at the bottom there 104% on our insurances that unfortunately is what it is we'll do a budget revision on that and then the amount will be 185,000 Insurance were we talked in the past
just higher than initially anticipated so um we are preparing for our truth and Taxation meeting for December's meeting we'll have finance committee meeting probably that week before as usual the Wednesday before we'll get that out in the next
couple of weeks and working hard on budget revisions that'll also be part of the taxation superintend report I did attend the high school program Clarks ran at the same time so I had to make a choice and I was here anyway so um yeah very good program the
one thing I did notice I told John um saying the Pledge of Allegiance every day is paying off because the elementary kids were actually louder than high school kids and recite pledge they definitely know it so um just want to draw attention again
to I sent out um all of our school closures I think it's very important people understand this year there are no extra free snow days so so if tomorrow we got to cancel school for whatever reason weather related building related
it would be a uh e-learning day and the notification primarily um we do have side all of that information that was in that email is on the website and available um very easy you don't have to hunt for it or look so so I'm not hoping
for bad weather um I just want to make um my due diligence to make sure everybody's ready for it it's coming sooner or later um I'd like to acknowledge our our new board members um Laura L danowski is here tonight and
Jason um body um I did uh invite them to our November 19th meeting a big part of the November 19th the search for our next superintendent really that's about logistics it's all about establishing a
a timeline from hosting to signing that superintendent so they're going to be doing the bulk of the work um you will get a a survey you might have gotten it already from uh Amy Jordan who's running our search just a couple of quick questions um so they'll be a part of
that process and just wanted to again welcome them um doing a little research with Trevor I don't know if you've been in Menard's lately or anywhere else to buy light bulbs but the state of Minnesota is basically putting uh um blent light
bulbs it's baned starting in 2025 as a school district we have a little more grace um we have until 2026 and because it's banned in Minnesota doesn't mean I can't buy it in Iowa or wherever else I'm not even sure
if I will have the band um it's coming um and as a school district it's not like at home we don't have bulbs that um have the screw baits so I can take in my house I pay a little more than I do it's not a big deal right these have a whole
different setup it's got to be retooled to be able to take that fluorescent or that led from a fluorescent it's a bigger deal for us as a school district and I'm not saying we need to go totally LED next year I'm
just looking at some options for us and also um having a timeline for how we phase out fluorescence because it's it's really inevitable so um I do plan on bringing something back next week at the board level just to give you some information if we did choose and we have
quite a bit of LED in our campus I have Trevor putting together an official map but um we also have a lot that we would have to to to Retro so just just coming up with some plans um I sent you the self evaluation
process um individually um as a group just take a look at that my plan with it and and working on it will be um when the new board members come on um in January that's when we'll start to take
a look at that for strategic purposes and what we will do and I do think and I've got some ideas and talk to Amy about it a little bit I think some of this we can fold into our search um and and it'll serve us well so that we're not doing two separate things um but for
now it's for you to look at um come up with your own thoughts ideas I certainly have mine remember I I was able to take that as a piece of the process so and yes just a reminder on the the 19th and um somebody had emailed me a
patron just just wondering if we we were zooming that out we don't zoom out anything other than our regular meeting but I do plan on sending out um all that information in the district update so that folks are aware of our timeline of when things are happening and all that
it's really been through this process they replaced me in Lake City um so it's really a lot of work of just Logistics it's going to be a rather boring meeting but because you're all going to bring your calendars because that's really the bulk of the work is laying out that
timeline so and then Jan highlighted right now we're working on a revised budget just remember um in December Our Truth in taxation and that's pretty typical after 3 four years of ago the law change it's
just part of our regular meeting so we will start our regular meeting with the TNT the truth and Taxation and then adjourn that and go right right into our our regular meeting so folks that want to attend that this is later in the
agenda but I just wanted to highlight it um we now have a concession stand manager that doesn't sound like a big deal but um Jeff Henry was our concession stand manager he resigned this fall um the big piece of the concession stand
manager is the lur and the qualifications they hold they're the the the gatekeeper to allowing us to do concessions like pizza hot dogs um popping corn naos so um it's on the
agenda later sh there to approve um I I'm very happy that Char was willing to work with me um Char will do it for a year she's very happy if we want to open it back up or whatever but she didn't want to see us um as a district be in a position where we couldn't do our
traditional concession stand menu so I'm thankful uh there are some committee reports also attached H soueast Serv Co-op policy and MSL any questions on any of those or any
inform good and of brings us to our consent agenda I move to approve the consent agenda motion by Monica a second by Ron any conversation all those in favor say I I
those oppos motion passes governance we have acceptance of donations I don't there was [Music] resolution cany returns of votes School District General
second by Roger any conversation all those in favor say I I oppos motion passes uh resolution authorizing issuance of certificates of election
I'm not read that thereon second by Jake conversation all those in favor say I I those opposed motion passes uh first reading of policies under review so just a couple of things um
we're implementing a procedure that IED in Lake City that work really well so we have a policy committee so the policy committee uh reviews these first um they go on here they'll be sitting here for a month for people to uh look at review
and then next month um these will go under second reading and be there for approval so if you have any other thoughts you're a board member not on a on the policy committee please share those with us um really when they come
next December at the board meeting they really should be approved there shouldn't be a discussion or that that's this period of time right now in the month what we'll be doing is reloading and coming back with another group for I think they're down below we're starting
with our oldest policies and we're in pretty good shape but um and these are policies the 100s just to give you an idea these might not even have been updated for a long long time too they're basically what starts your your school district so and then we'll just keep
going 200s 300s all the way through so I think we have a good good plan of of updating our policies any questions about that just want to thank uh thank Eric for that
process as as somebody that's been on the policy commit I think can all agree that it's been a bit of a struggle over the years and so this process is really great to us on track for reviewing them um but then also what he didn't mention is that he does the first through with
changes that come from msba all of the red lines that could just be changing from statute to stat period all some of those little changes and sign so by the time they come to uset policy committee
they've already been run through for updates okay the activities handbook for coaches and advisor just a couple things on this so first of of all normally on a handbook um we'll use to high school or middle school for example you're going to have
a red line right we're going to see what's changed um the goal with this was to update it but also I wanted them to update it in a form that would be very user friendly in the future so what you're looking at
here are links so every one of these is tied to um some more information the nice part of this is um they can change live so during the year scroll back up marshia let's just say we changed
402 902 I guess is sitting there it'll link to that um now it isn't something that's wrong in the the policy it's going to our website to be able to get that information so I sat down with Mike
and Scott and Megan um and talked about redoing the handbook and my goal with it was um we have to get it done in my time here so I'm looking no later than May everybody agreed to that and um Scott Megan and Scott gives most of the credit
to Megan but um he's obviously involved they were able to pull it off now so kudos to them um I gathered other um resources for them certainly reached out to Lake City and a couple other schools that had decent updated handbooks um
they went through to make sure that they had everything and added a few other things um I think now we have a model um handbook um as long as we keep it updated looks like an action item so we approval motion by Roger second by
Monica any conversation I would you say we should make sure we have a process for updating it we do because you're going to approve it again so so they'll it'll just be on every yeah now it's a a you know odd time because we've got the first one but
this will be just like your handbooks for the high school and good go so we have a motion by Roger second by Monica all those in favor say I I those opposed motion passes world's best
Workforce okay the the years aren wrong on this so this is 2324 um is an annual report so you'll see it it is changed on there it's the comprehensive achievement Civic Readiness u i I do think that separation
will continue um right now everything I get it still includes the world's best Workforce along with this uh acronym associated with it the biggest change for us really internally is it just goes uploaded into a different portal for
that but we have to report on everything you see listed here were the goals from last year along with how we did on those goals we need action on this we need to approve this so that it can go to the state
a motion by Jake second by Roger any further conversation only the part about how we're supposed to have a public [Music] B and it [Music] should Bill always did it with the
contestation Mee he would go to the report during that tration I'd love to do that the only thing is now the deadline for this is 11:30 um I don't know if there's any penalties if you send it in late um I
have no idea ultimately if you go back um and review the goals that really isn't going to change certainly could be done in a different public meeting um but like I said the report involves how
we get on those goals maybe this is something future I'm definely doing that soot again also it says on the the requirement of must publish the report
in local newspaper by mail or electronic on the is it on the website is that it will be once it's approved so and actually I'll be taking down well that goes into the next document let's finish this one first
approve supposed to a public meeting nothing change the results from the right that's already that's done I guess if the board were to ask me to have a meeting a public meeting just to um
review that document I probably would do it sometime next week and I don't know how many people I mean it's there the four goals but it'd be about a f minute meeting but I guess it would satisfy what what
you're just think moving forward Maybe pretty close to the same timeline you could do it that way or Julie's added it to the agenda certainly start that discussion but um a district Advisory Group
is you make this a piece of a bigger um group because just this piece really isn't isn't going to isn't going to do much for a district Advisory Group um all favor say
I okay motion passes y Stacy Fox yes Springer yes Julie Le yes Monica yes Jak yes Roger yes jart
then going forward is this something that like the next superintend no superintend thank you okay the next one is the 24 so a couple things here first of all if
you want to have that discussion again with the district Advisory Group in a perfect world it would be great to have a group like that be a part of this um however again it would that group should have a bigger purpose because most of
these goals we tweak them administratively um in a few areas only because it's very difficult first of all some of our subgroups are are too small to um leave as Singletons so we just merged them together like let's say
free and reduce and sped we're still trying to help all kids but we're not going to um necessarily just identify the sped in the 48 building because it's too small of a a subgroup um but these goals um they're the standard goals um
these are the goals called for the world's best Workforce um the world best Workforce and the comprehensive um um report we kept it in there because um that Evolution hasn't happened yet and we still value that third grade literacy
um data but we're just doing it differently using the fast Bridge as our um Benchmark instead of the MCAS because that's just better for us um as far as time real time data and um it's ongoing
it's something we do throughout our building so so if you take a look at these again this is the one that we probably did the most changes in was the achievement Gap and just being able to break that down so again um you know
we're able to put those three groups together rather than um especially all minority population some of our subgroups we wouldn't be able to do that Singletons um because they're not a large enough subgroup to
identifying so these are it sounds like the goals that we continue to have over year correct this is part of our strategic plan as well right so if we ever I don't
know my plans with this run um this will be called um you know that AC in up there the only IC plan we have Sitting is is one from 19 or 2021 I think and it's like every thing the district was
doing at that time it's still on the website if you want to look at it quick tonight but that'll be gone tomorrow um I don't consider this a strategic plan I really see this as what it is it's it's our world's best Workforce it's a comprehensive of you know
uh goals that's what this is a strategic plan is complete different complet this is valuable obviously something we're working on and doing well in some areas but it isn't our strategic plan so we
devel correct this is the academic side of a strategic plan let's say there's a lot more I'll bring the light thing that's just one piece of um in your strategic plan your facilities how do you keep up to just one little piece of that would
be the LED issue um lots of other things would be in there for that piece and then finances and just a lot more other areas than just the academics and the Strategic plan so as a board if we want
to can can we even twe like a state it's mandated we have it as far as could we still tweak it sure and I don't I don't have the timeline on this that I have on the uh reporting so if you don't
want to approve it tonight and you want to do something with us um you let me know let us know we'll take a look at it try to add it do whatever it's just it's no November we've been working on this since uh I came was one of the first
things I think it's good but yeah there's plenty of opportunity still for input if you want to do that this is an action item I move to approve second by Ron any further
conversation all those in favor say I I those those passes the next item is head motion by Stacy yeah motion by Stacy second by any conversation one thing on this so going
to do your timeline's a little different moving forward we'll do the winter differently we'll do the spring differently so when it comes to head coaches the statue has changed and the timeline is um 60 days after the last regular season
competition um that's when the clock starts changing so now for the fall we have our head coaches what you'll see later probably at that traditional time JD through seventh grade will be approved later so you won't be approved
proving um all fall head uh fall coaches anymore we'll do our head coaches under this new timeline and then basically do the program um later JB through seventh grade so we have we have a motion and
the second all those in favor say I those opposed motion passes we do have an item business which is still pending there um and then we did add District
advisory Council conversation in place and I was just G to read off um uh statute 121 which is the school district process
per curriculum instruction Achi um subsection three each School establish an advisory committee to ensure active Community participation in All Phases of planning and improving the instruction of curriculum backing State
District academic standards consistent with sub subdiv to a district advisory committee to the exent possible must reflect the diversity of the district and school sites includes teachers parents support staff students and other community residents and provide translation to the extent appropriate
and so that's the statute and then we move into our six policy which basically says the same thing um there again in this one it says that um whenever possible parents and other community residents shall comprise
at least two3 of the advisory if we look on our website be tomorrow the world's best for page document page 15 it talks about the primary goal is to review and make recommendations to the board on the comprehens of K12
curriculum successful learning opun students it reviews the scope and sequ of curriculum to ensure alignment um ensures that curriculum Prov mandates States data includes test results
reviews results from pil this is a lot of stuff supports staff development opportunity supports the mission statement of PM supports inclusion of all stakeholders in the discussion and then it talks about um
membership and there is a little short application so I think we need for Action to at least identify that we going to start yeah and Ron and I had talked about
setting it up that we could do we would like to do for working so okay 3 4 6 78 12 we have somebody in charge working groups parents teacher student members to
go um how that going to play out don't know I'm going do training later this train and I'm going to ask a lot of questions from different MERS District
they we have mentioned it many times tonight um as a as a school that a variety of things like world's best Workforce goals I curriculum so there's a variety of things that we need to do I do I do
believe that we need to put like we need to have a timeline if we project manage this be able to get you know something set up what is our deadline date when do we want to happen like personally I think we started in January with the first district Advisory Group meeting
what do we have to do working backwards from there um I do we feel comfortable setting a January date saying this is something that's important to us to get started in January I'm just trying to understand why we just didn't have this on
at it no I mean now right now I think some people on the board might not be um comfortable with my time I'm not opposed at all at having a district Advisory Group I guess some of you were on the board when Bill
was here what happened how often did that who was part of that group um everything dly read about what where did that go and what happened to that I don't my time on the board four years I asked about it when I first came on and I was told we met it somehow but was
never very clear 2021 in the document yeah well how many of you were on the board when that group Roger Stacy would have been so you've got you two are the only ones that weren't on the board and and the people that were here don't even know
what that group did or if it ever met or I want to put together a group and Julie you have your ideas and I respect them but they don't align with my ideas and I'm not saying I got to win that's where that committee comes in and and you flush that out and like I said I know
one thing's for sure it's going to be a lot more than just the world's best Workforce in my opinion otherwise it won't sustain itself we tried it in Lake City and I think Ariana's trying something different now but it's it's very diff you've got to have some meaning to it to
have people give up their time and energy and and and participate so I have no problem with a district advisory committee it's just how is that going to be structured what is it going to look like like I said you read off that it
sounds really impressive and I'm not saying anything good or bad about whoever did it but it never happened um it's about making it happen and making sure that we get something done through that commit and working together to do yes yeah I think I think we're just to
the point and maybe this is I think we can all agree that it will be much more than all of this you know more than just the curriculum more than that and I think there are people in the room here that would like to be a part of that I think we're to the de point and you know
forget what has or hasn't been done in the past obviously we can't change that but how do we move forward what steps do we take to move forward and to me I don't know my thought just like putting a timeline in place at at a minimum but
then also identifying like what what is what is this committee going to do how often will it meet what is the membership I mean those are all things that we need to consider um as a board and maybe we can do that well can we ask the administration to put that together
so they can bring that forward have it on the agenda ahead of time as an action item because I do think it's something we need to do but I think we need to be working together very transparently and we do and we also like I said um in a perfect world the district advisory
committee run in Julie it wouldn't be us orchestrating what it is and also most if not all of them don't have any board members on them whatsoever let alone um trying to put the pieces together so I think that's where we've got to take a
look at what you guys want might be a total different that that isn't a district advisory committee in in my knowledge in my past practice I had zero board um on my district advisory committee at Lake
City do you think it would be good for you to put together then and bring it as the December board meeting like what it could yes I could at least give you um and I really see an opportunity um I'm not sure and we'll have this discussion with Amy um I think
we could do the patron survey for the superintendent um but I also think that that would give us a nice opportunity um with a very clear Focus uh with the district advisory committee and no application just anybody who wants to show up and we orchestrated it so that
we can get from the community what are their top priorities about your next superintendent what are their biggest worries in this hire what do they see that need being and a very clear uh simple agenda um where we can get some good information that's a good
start versus trying to to start out with three different levels and we're going to do curricul that's a big big piece to try to overhaul or put in place I think we got to take some baby steps and build that District advisory committee um not
try to start out with this um pretty much what jie was reading you can add to it as as it as it builds but I see our hiring of our superintendent and Patron involvement in that as um a good
possibility of this group being utilized then I just had a question in your conversation is this something that District advis super from the Comm and then the next
time we meet it's talk is that in the community is interested in that particular thing it just changes sure you don't have to that's so in that case then we need to r that
policy if we have an application policy Rie that policy and policy I think is it policy or is that just in the Strategic plan the old strategic and that's kind of how your committees have functioned um that some
of them that you have started we don't when I look at resolutions or I look at board is the only only folks mentioned in the Committees there are no um you know finance committee I think is the only one that we do have a few um standing committee
members um in transportation yeah those two um the rest have been really open to every anybody who patrons that wanted to show up and give any input so a good way to start okay uh board
comments okay so uh there's a couple of things that I just wanted to touch on um number one is PTA and I've seen in the community that there's been some drive for PTA and it's actually good timing coming off this conversation about the
district advisory Council um I know in my time here I've asked several times about a PTA kind of group and just a little bit of background and I think Eric's going to add a little bit of uh color to all of this a parent teacher type of group where there's a connection
where we have people in the community that are helping out um with with each of the buildings or however it work be structured and I know there's been some information and I don't know if it's been clear so I just want to have a very open conversation about this to see if
if it is truly something that we're interested in uh ER you had some experience or some insight into this well just a couple things so administratively we did discuss that um I'm not mandating to any of the principles that they have to start a PTA
group I just wanted to get their thoughts and and perspectives on it um but when we talk about a PTA group and I've experienced it um at ZM and I also had it as
at Lake City um those were established groups but they really weren't involved in a lot of things other than I would say a huge boost to the overall morale so like on teacher conferences like John had last night the PTA pretty much
always was feating my teachers um teacher appreciation week was huge um fundraisers huge um enhancing The Experience helping us with a lot of the trips like Clark taking they took on those things as far
as the issues you had with the school that was kind of a separate thing and we dealt with that differently it didn't roll through the PTA so what are we envisioning as a PTA um might be more appropriate for our district Advisory
Group and us trying to take that on at a at a district level rather than a building level when I look at at a building level I really see it people wanting to um just help with the overall culture of the school and
especially the teachers yeah and so I think I just wanted to bring it up as as something to have a conversation about because I just want to be clear that the district advisory council is going to serve its purpose and it's going to be a place for
Community to be involved in you know in the district essentially but I really would like our Administration to think about if a PTA in the true sense of what Eric is describing which is parent volunteers who are supporting our teachers if that is something that we
that we want here at BM um personally I think it's great it would be amazing and I think our teachers would really like it um and I'm not going to ask anybody to make any answers right now but I think it would be a really good thing for us to think about moving forward and
and I have been part of the group yeah and that was basically par become principal W was a good it was good come up with a very simple agenda and just talk about this month talk
about cell I don't but it was very good just for us to hear what's going on in the school and for us to be to give them yeah it was and I think would share it at the board the board if there was an issue
that was percolating then they can share that us yeah it was I was part of that also um and I think that's good I think the idea of the PTA is different than that though and I think each of our you know building principles are doing something
you know you had coffee in the morning Mr Walton had coffee in the morning where people could come and have coffee but I just want to you know in the conversations we had just be very clear what a PTA is and it's about building morale and supporting the teacher and
doing all of that in comparison to the an advisory Council or something of that nature that is already happening so again no pressure to give any information right now but I just want to be able to have that so we could
clarify what what the are is there also OPP is thatly out we don't have a lot currently you don't have a lot of of volunteers we used to have more okay I going change it
for the time being but we haven't had as much as we used to and we haven't promoted some certain classrooms have some yeah and that rounding up okay my second item was just
misinformation I think you know now that the election has done hopefully things have calmed down but I I hav seen just a a good share of misinformation that has been out in the public and I I brought one example it's not you know it's just something that was there and I think I'd
like to look at our Administration you know as far as how to handle this the one example that I have that I wanted to bring forward was something that had been posted on social media about the coaching committee ping kids out of academic time and making them complete
surveys and to me this is misinformation in a variety of ways because i' like Mike maybe you can explain what happened like where where that came from yeah so we uh this year when we did the student survey for the fall um activities in
athletics we used a flex time which is we've had that for a number of years now a couple different iterations but it's basically a un assigned time kids can sign up for a class teachers can sign a kid up anyways we Ed that we signed up U
varsity and JB athletes board one of those um I sent an email out to those kids the week before letting them know and then Scott U plam uh followed up with kids that weren't able to uh make
that so we weren't pulling them out of a of a assigned class I don't we're going to do the same thing in the winter and part of that was in the discussion somewhere along the line I think you did a survey last year or something maybe my
email was associated with it and so we want to make sure that kids feel very comfortable knowing you can be totally honest on this survey because um it's never going to come back your way we just want your honest honest thoughts so
doing it in Flex we can have the the one link that opens it up um for kids to be able to do it versus sending it out um we probably could close it to one but we'd have to tie it to a connection so this just again works very well um we
are going to give them a little wider longer time frame in the winter and probably the spring we talked about so rather than having to be this day and give me a forewarning you got these two days um because what you have 175
student athletes yeah we had 140 140 we had to roll to that's a lot of logistics for Mike to take care of in one day versus if we do it over two or three days makes it a little more manageable on our part as well yeah and I think
from my perspective and probably from the board's perspective the misinformation line and it wasn't the coaching committee that did it number one it was this is a part of the process of other evaluating coaches um and so I think as a board it would be nice to
understand like what steps are we taken to ensure that there's accurate information being put out and how are we going to um you know kind of alleviate misinformation that is that is out in the general public I can't uh I can't
eliminate the internet so people that choose to get their information off the internet um so be it um as far as misin it is what it is um I'm taking a more proactive at the district level so anytime we have like I said about this
uh superintendent search shouldn't be any misinformation on that because we're going to send it out to you bya jamc anytime I feel there's something going on and I'm not talking about social media I'm talking about something that I feel at the district level is a concern
um we will send something out from the district level to all of our patrons so I think being proactive and making sure um our messages out there on these issues is important I had got help complaint sent
out an email to the he replied back and I thank you very much had more complaints few days later that's something different sent that out to a building he replied I
replied okay I thought this was fun what got around about me was that har or member is going to all the district Builders telling teachers what they can and cannot wear and what they can can how they can can decorate their walls
ripping posters wall and John right have I been in your building at all this school year I don't believe so no Mark have I been in your buildings this year no they don't no I not and Mike
I've been in yours once with you the entire time so that has been very frustrating yeah and your source is the social media you want to sleep at night that's true don't do social media I
don't just tell I'm just clarifying that for those who I haven't done that so I think that's just like as General consensus I think we can all agree that there's a lot of misinformation that is out there I think that if if people want to know exactly what has happened your
best source is to come directly to our Administration I know ER just did a uh radio yeah I'm doing one right after our search and I will point out um I get a lot of um emails from our patrons and
I don't mind it at all I try to respond with within 24 hours but if you want to um bring something to me don't bother sending me pictures of post on social media um but you can ask me a question that was on there and I will give you a
straight answer on it um you don't have have to come to my office you can email me you can call me um or any of our Administration if it's dealing in Clark's or John's or M's building call them first or email them and the problem
I will have is if you tell me I did and we didn't get back to you I'll deal with that you will get a response we owe you that um so in the future if there's something if somebody emails me and says hey Julie this is what's being said
about you on social Med went into this building and you did this I can contact one of the principl say this what's going on would they be sending something out somebody I don't know no I wouldn't send it out but just let
yeah letting them know that's that's not right like you brought up tonight John to said you weren't in his building we're not going to post on social media I'm not going to fight that war it's the War I will never win and I don't care
to but on big items um you know we sent one out earlier with the coaching thing we were dealing with explaining our side those types of items we're going to be proactive as a district to say here's our side of the story whether you read it or not or believe it or not that's
your prerogative but we're going to put it out there big ticket items not every day people saying something good or bad about us other comments Monica all those in favor say
I pass question
