>> here. >> All right. We do have a quorum. All right. Item number two, approval of the agenda. Dr. Ra Hoover, any changes? >> Yes, we have a couple of small changes um to the agenda. Chair Johnson. Number
one uh change is that item 7C bake west resolution for account signer is not necessary. All of the work that our CFO Bridget Peterson needs to do is already been taken care of in our uh in the board's approval of of design in January
and in her conversations with the bank um it would be a competition for her to be a signer and also handle those things. So she does will not be signing any checks. So we need to remove that from the agenda. >> Okay. And the second item to be removed from the agenda is item 9D
uh which is a close session on negotiations. As you remember, we're looking to have standing items on negotiations. However, we have not had a negotiations meeting yet um with either either our principal unit or uh SEIU. Uh they haven't got back to me with any dates yet. So, I did have a preliminary
meeting with SEIU and um very cordial and I think we're going to be in a good spot, but they have not yet shared any dates. So we can remove that item from the agenda. >> All right. Thank you for the information. So at this time I'll entertain a motion to approve the agenda minus 7 C and 9D.
>> Mayor Gordy make a motion to approve. >> Motion by Gordy. >> Second. >> Second by Hilstrom. Any other questions or comments? All in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Those opposed passes unanimously. All right. Public comment.
All right. We have no public comment. So at this time that portion closes. Great. Number four, consent items. Anything on the consent agenda. All right. At this time, I'll accept a motion to approve the consent items.
>> Motion to approve. >> Motion by Morgan. >> I'll second. >> Second by Shadine. Any other questions or comments? All in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Those opposed? passes unanimously. All right, number five, superintendent
report. Dr. Bright Hoover. >> Thank you, Chair Nut. I'm going to jump into this because we got the the fun stuff coming after this. So, um uh we successfully navigated yet another fabulous school year here in Rockford, and I am proud of the work and the efforts of our students and staff. Collectively, uh much much was
accomplished, and it was done with hard work, care, and intentiality. Um with our new board protocols, we will not be having a principal report till later this fall. I do want to mention um that our high school principal as well as our new associate principal are actually up
at the state principal conference receiving an award today um star of innovation award for their work around the launch your future campaign >> and program. So that's pretty exciting. Otherwise, we would see Principal Manard here today and he expresses his regrets.
But we're really excited to have those two um at least I know that that Paul's there. Maybe it might not be Jill, but they're receiving that award on behalf of the district. >> Um but we are fortunate to have our spring activity participants here to share a little bit about their seasons
and that get going in just a moment. Um at our schools at RES, our fourth graders participated in a transition day field trip to the middle school prior to school exiting. Um, we also had our annual senior salute at the end of May for our graduating seniors. Uh, fourth
grade participated in their annual track and field day. And then we had a a plethora of wonderful field trips. Kindergarten went to the Komo Zoo. Grade one was at Riverside Park. Grade two was at Rebecca Park and the Minnesota Zoo. Grade three attended the Stages Theater,
Riverside Park and the library. Third grade really got out there. uh fourth grade um went to the Capitol and also the Orway. Um and also um currently um well recently June 8th through the 12th all grade level teams met and they
worked um with the arts coordinator Darren Elias to write arts infused lessons to coincide with the reading curriculum CKLA. summer school began on June 8th and ESY summer school begins tomorrow. Um at the middle school and
reflecting on the spring results, it showed that almost 84% of the students expressed having a connection with one or more staff members, uh the goal was to increase um their previous percentage by five points. They fell a little short. It was 4.5% uh from fall to spring, but they're
feeling very good about that. Um the student student support team continued working uh to track student data and they provided access to services and evaluation for those who needed it with achievement plans up through the final day of school. Uh staff have already begun their summer work on curriculum
scheduling and building systems for next school year. Uh this writing includes adopting of a new math curriculum in fifth through 8th grades and some innovative curriculum structures for fifth grade social studies and seventh grade science. Um the middle school is proud to share
they surpassed their goal in reading by more than five students and in math by more than 15 students. Uh most importantly they wanted to share as they say goodbye to their current group of eighth graders. Uh that group they mentioned really embodied what it means to pursue excellence as they grew as
learners, critical thinkers, and human beings in their time at the middle school. They're excited to see their achievements as they head into the high school. Um at the high school, Mr. Mr. Manard, M Miss Gordy, as we mentioned, um um are recipients of the Star of
Innovation Award u and their work around um college credit and employment readiness tied to the Minnesota Career Cluster wheel. Uh several students um represented Rockford at the state level in various activities including softball, track and field golf, and trap shooting. We'll be see hearing from some
of them shortly. Many school records were broken this season and they're incredibly proud of the poise and competitive nature of the athletes. Uh, thank you, Holly. Mr. Manard also shares our new activities director and um activities secretary hirings have been finalized. Mr. Joe Clay has begun
and um he's been making contact with our coaches and our adviserss hitting the ground running as we head into July when he starts. We'd also like to share and this was mentioned previously that Miss Denise Ingerbretson will begin her duties on July 1st as well. Outgoing activities director Dan Pratt was
celebrated um at the recognition breakfast on the 5th and he is also here somewhere tonight hiding over there in the corner. Um I'd also like to share that um summer school is up and running serving 28 students.
Some have already completed some of their requirements. Um we have half the number of students at the high school doing summer school this year primarily because our teachers were very diligent in working with them along the way to ensure that they achieved um their requirements prior to commencement. Uh
the foundations of learning draft was finalized and shared with the teachers at the high school. One of the main documents they'll use to guide their work um instructional alignment for next year. Uh in district news operationally starting with human resources we're putting the finishing touches on
staffing. Uh we have the inevitable unanticipated staffing shifts that occur every year, but without question and to our great surprise, the hiring pools this year have been much much deeper than in previous years. Um and our principles are very happy with the quality of candidates. Uh with respect
to our current personnel, end of year appraisals and conversations have been occurring as we strive to continuously improve in all that we do. Uh we're also spending time revisiting our roles and responsibilities document districtwide. Um, as we have had some changes at the district office uh with respect to
restructuring, uh, Cindy Kapinsky and I have been working um, with uh, our teams on pre-negotiations uh, both the SEIU and our principal group. Uh, we plan to open those and coordinate those dates uh, shortly with
our negotiations teams. Um, I'd also like to share that Cindy has been working diligently to automate vast majority of our human resources functions. Uh, happy to share that the efficiencies have already started and we are really going paperless in the world
of human resources. I instructionally Kathy Madson and I have busy putting um and working through summer professional development as well as our built teams at the respective sites. Uh this work will lay the groundwork as we move into professional learning for school year 2627. Uh we want to make sure that we are
aligned throughout our system. Our ads team led by Miss Jennifer Sprag has completed the required MDE documentation for our interview report that was submitted to MDE recently. In addition, Kathy and the Rockford Area Schools literacy lead, Miss Paulie Trandle, have
been doing similar work documenting our project progress with respect to the read act. Uh Kathy and I have also utilized the feedback of our instructional cabinet to make final edits on the visual and newly created profile of a graduate. And as mentioned, we're taking time to create a data
dashboard uh where the profile metrics will be available to um uh to the public as well as our staff to ensure that we are uh taking care of things in that regard. Um, but without question, I would like to share that I'm fortunate to have these amazing leaders to partner with as their experience and expertise
have put our district in a really good position um in all aspects of our instructional work. Operationally, uh, our team leaders have come together to uh, review our calendar for next year, coordinating dates, times, and events to ensure there's no overlap. Uh Rockford
CFO Bridget Peterson and I met recently with our partners at Krauss Anderson to review our findings for the comprehensive and extensive uh facilities audit. Uh we're also working um with the uh the city of Corkin to discuss potential future partnerships
and with our annual anticipated enrollment growth uh working with both the cities of Greenfield and Rockford as well as former state demographer Hazel Reinhardt on the enrollment projections. Also like to share that tonight the uh 2627 district operational plan will be
shared um and looking for board approval. Um, and as I do every month, I attended meetings with AMSD, MASA, MASCO, and staff. And I engaged in the interview process, as well as Vice Chair Gordy for the Northwest Suburban Integration School District Executive
Director. Um, in some celebratory news, the Rockford High School class of 26 commencement ceremony took place on the 29th of May, and the event was once again spectacular. like to extend my thanks once again for all those who made that event so memorable for families and
the students. I'd also like to take the opportunity to celebrate um share the celebration of our staff annual end of year breakfast. Like to thank members of the board as well as Courtney Nyiver for their work in making that day a success. And in closing, what an amazing school
year it has been. I would like to extend another thanks to our board, our staff, our parents and guardians, as well as our entire school community for making Rockford Area Schools such an awesome place to learn, grow, and work. And that concludes the June superintendent report.
>> Awesome. Wonderful. Thank you very much. Anybody have any questions for Dr. Radver? Thank you. Our next item, student achievement and growth. Item A, spring activities celebration. Mr. Pratt. >> All right. Well,
>> well, thank you for having us. Uh, we have a group of students here behind me that have represented Rockford very well this last spring. We have the track team that's got to go first. They got to get to another meeting. So, I'm going to keep this short and let them get started. So, just go around the room, introduce yourself, talk a little bit
about your season. Not every track person's got to talk, right? Okay. >> Okay. So, you guys got it figured out. >> I got you. >> I love it. >> All right. Hi, I'm Obima. I graduated
from Rockford High School. Even though I live in Rapids, I've been a part of the Rockford community since seventh grade. This year, I was a state champion in the 4x400 relay, runner up in the 4x2, and I hold the fastest 40 record in school history. Beyond athletics, I'm involved in student council and the link
crew. I believe in giving back to the school and community. I'll also like to give a huge thank you to my coaches, Ro and Chad. They believed in me from the beginning, pushing me to be the best version of myself. They spent countless hours coaching, encouraging, and challenging me to reach goals. I wasn't
always sure I would achieve. Because of them, I I was able to become the state champion in the 4x4 and state runner up in the 4x2 and continue improvement as an athlete and a person. >> Um, I'll go I'm Morgan. I graduated this
year and I've been captain for the last two years. And, uh, this year I'll talk about the team success. We got first in conference and six in sections and then fifth in state. So overall very successful year.
>> Um I was part of that uh second place 4x2 in state. Um overall coaching staff it was really successful year. We had 12 state entrance which is an impressive number as it is and overall was really good year.
Uh my name is Kate Terrell. Um I'm going to be representing the throwers for track and field team. I was the only boy to go to state this year. I played second in sections and pod uh in state. The boys, like you said, we finished uh second in true team state or sections
and then sixth in true team state. We uh it's our fifth year in a row winning conference. And we played second in sections and then beat the people at who beat us in sections or in state. Um, so that was fun and uh I would like to
say that uh the coaches have gotten us to this point and without them that we would not be five times. >> My name is Ethan Rober. I was a captain for the track team this year. Um like all them said, we had a really successful year. Uh as a team we took
fifth overall in state. We had we did come in um with high expectations this year as we had like a strong returning junior and senior class for boys. Um we did have a 4x4 mix with these two girls here that went to Hamlin which is kind
of cool. Also going to Nike nationals >> this Thursday. So that was cool. Um, overall I just think we just had a really successful year and
yeah, >> my name is Max Lman. I'm going to be a senior and I was also a captain this year. I was also part of that state champion 4x4 team and a runner at 4x2. And on top of everything, all the awards
and conference plaques and sections and everything. This year we also focused a lot on uh how like applicable track can be to your life and uh how important recovery is and the confidence that you need to be an athlete and the confidence you need to have uh in yourself and also
in your coaches. Um and I think all of that sums up exactly what our program is. >> Um I'm Riley Fared. I'll be a senior this year and I was a captain of the girls track team. We had a really good season this year. Um,
on the girls side, we were lacking in numbers a little bit, especially compared to like the other teams we compete against. So, that was a struggle sometimes, but like considering that we placed really well against other teams. We were first in our conference for the
third year in a row and that's seven out of the last eight years. Um they were conference champions and and then we got fourth at sections and fifth at true team sections. Um I'm Tessa. Okay. Um I'm Tessa and I
was also a captain this year. And first state this year we sent six girls who competed in seven events and we had runners and like field event athletes. So that was really good to have like a mix of both. And three, yeah, three out
of us six were on a podium for some event and that was really good. And what else? >> We had a really fun season overall. Like I feel like all of us like made some really good memories that weren't just like based on competing. Like we just
had a lot of fun this season. And um since we had no seniors, like we're really looking forward to building next year. And we also um sent a mix for Hamilton which was a big meet with only like the
top nine from like the whole state can compete in. So that was really cool. And then we're also sending that to Nike nationals. >> Do they need to go the track kids? Do they need to head out right now? >> Let's let them fight.
>> Good job. picture on the step quickly. >> Thank you. >> So, next time, let's be >> My name is Ellen Sher. I'm a part of the class of 2027. Uh I've been part of the
high school baseball team since my eighth grade year. Uh this year, it wasn't our most successful year, but we definitely learned a lot of lessons. Uh, I'd say one of the bigger pieces was teaching the young guys how to step into leadership roles, especially since losing a healthy class of seniors the
past two years. Uh, we taught the younger guys what to do and kind of how the operations roll and what they need to do and leadership roles. Uh, another part of that I would say was battling adversity. Uh through the past few years, we didn't face much of it and
compared to this year, there wasn't as much success, but it taught us how to like deal with hard times. >> Awesome. >> My name is Ty Dingman. I play lacrosse from the Rockford Del Co-op. This year we went a tip over 500, so all right season. Uh it was super fun though. Had
a second win, beat always good, always good and uh yeah, worth it. Hi, I'm Ben Blanchard with the golf team. Uh, this year we had a pretty successful year, I'd say, from the previous years that we've had. Uh, we
finished third place out of nine teams in the Rick County Conference and Kale made on all conference honorable mention and I made uh all conference. Uh, we finished six out of 17 in
section. We had two kids go to day two and then went to state And uh um we also we had a lot of people come out this year. I think we got 30 or something like that. And um it's a lot more than other years. We only graduated
two kids too. So we future. I'm going to be a senior and I was a captain this year. We are representing the Dela Rockford girls lacrosse team. We finished with a 12 and3 record and won the right county conference while going undefeated in all conference games. This is our second year winning
the conference in a row. This season broke the school record for most single seasons. >> I'm Libby. I graduated this year and this year we made it to the third round of sections which is like I don't think we've ever
and we had the most wins this year in program history and I'd also like to know that me and got all conference and she got all section second and yeah thanks for having us
I'm Taylor. And I'm Ashley Sto. Rockford High School track team 6A conference 3 and finished the regular season. Um we also have 40 dedicated shooters on the team, both male and female. So that's been really fun. We have gotten
um a few more females because in the past it's kind of been a highly male dominated team. So that's been really fun to see. >> And then on June we went headtohead with We beat them in the Crow River shoot off and reclaimed our traveling trophy.
Woohoo. >> We also had several other athletes achieve individual honors in conference. So that included freshman Mackenzie Fitch, senior Taylor Ikele, eighth grader Abigail Catcher, senior Ashley Stores, and eighth grader Bethany Dhy.
So that was really cool. And then on July 10th, we're sending a couple people to nationals. We have junior Hunter Fitch, senior sophomore, junior Grant Usher, junior Samo sophomore Owen Dolen, and eighth grader
Thomas. Yes. And then we also had one of our student athletes achieve honors at the state level. So that's junior Hunter Fitch. And then um also coming up this weekend, we will compete with over 350
high school teams and over 8,000 student athletes at the Minnesota State High School play target league championship in Alexandria, Minnesota. So that'll be really fun. And then for our overall high for shootoff, we had wanders come in first.
>> Yes. And then I'm also here on behalf of FFA. I served as the president this past year. Um, and we had a really fun year. We did a lot of new things, including the coffee cart, which we went around the room at around 7:30 before all the
students showed up. And um, it was really fun to just be able to brighten the teachers days in the morning and um, we got a lot of great feedback on that. So hopefully we continue that to keep teachers awake when things get really difficult. And then um also we did the
bonfire and movie night which kind of was a partnership with student council which we had never done before. So that was really really fun. Had a great turnout. Um and then we also had five teams compete at the state level this year. Um I was on the a sales team and
it was just a great experience overall and um just a super fun year. We also had Josie Frank. She placed third for her proficiency. So, yeah, lots of great success and we're looking forward to see what happens next year. Hi, I'm Chloe. I'm also speaking on behalf of Rockford
MFA as well. Um, this year was my first year of FFA and I kind of joined spontaneously. Um, but I was on the ad sales team with Ashley and um, it was a really just a fun event. We well basically the premise
of our event is we were representatives from Pioneer selling hybrid corn to our judges who were customers or even when we went to state they actually worked at the company. So that was kind of scary because you're like actually saying information these people actually know
what they're talking about. But we got second at regions which was really cool which advanced us to state. And then we got fifth place in state, which was also a really cool achievement. Okay, so I'm going to talk some more. Um, I served um I'm a
graduating senior this year and I served as a softball captain this year. We had a very very successful softball season this year. We had a 23 and5 record. We won conference for the sixth year in a row. Uh we won the section championship
which was so exciting. Um, a definitely a highlight of our softball team's whole year was we beat Spectrum in the section semifinals and Spectrum beat us out two years in a row. So, that was just a huge
win for all of us. Um, we also had nine graduating seniors on our softball team this year, which it was, um, it was just amazing to have a huge group that you're so close with. And we really just took on different leadership roles on the softball team. And you can definitely
see how we work together because we made it to state for the first time in 10 years. And that was just an unforgettable experience that we will all cherish forever. I mean, getting to see all the elementary schoolers and the middle schoolers wave us off to Mano. Like, I literally just get chills
thinking about it, but I just want to thank the community for just supporting us. And yeah, it was super awesome. And I'm going to talk about DECA some more. Um, I also served as the vice president for our DECA chapter this year. And
basically my role was just to help our council just stay organized and also to help with all the various events that we did and help everyone prep for competition. I'm Justine Peterson. I'm an upcoming senior and I was on deck of this year as
the Thrive director. I had lots of fun opportunities to learn what Thrive is. That was really fun for me. Didn't know that going in. So that was blast. This year we had two allocations for ICDC which is amazing. We're hoping to get more next year. ICDC is basically
nationals. So we're super excited to be able to get the opportunity to send more students to nationals. I learned a lot this year about like working together and working as a team. And I'm so grateful for Chloe and like her lessons through being in council. I'm so
grateful to like have all of my people in DECA. I know I learned a lot from them even being on council my previous years. I got on council pretty early, which I'm very grateful for, but I'm just so happy to be there for everybody.
We are going to into a smaller uh chapter next year because of our huge loss of seniors, but we're super excited to see what's going to happen next year. And I'll leave you up. >> Yeah. So, I'm Emma Mueller and um I
competed with Joey on a project management event, one of the multiple different types of projects that you can compete with at district and state level. So, there's also a few others and uh we had 22 active members this year
and 12 ended up qualifying for state. So that's >> I'm sorry Brian and we're here with Rockford Robotics. This year we didn't place the best but we really strove towards teamwork, communication, and just building the younger underassman
towards a better year in the future. We lost some of our best teammates we've ever had the past year. So, you know, we've just been working towards developing the team and making it better for the next few years. uh as someone who produced like media
content for the team, what I noticed is there was a lot of growth among our students and like like viewing it from the start and then seeing how like our students grew from the beginning. It was a a large jump from personal development and then like also with how our students worked with each other and how they like
got over their problems and like challenges we faced like over the year with like mechanical issues, wiring or even like personal um like issues other members. We've gotten over and we've improved with each other and we've grown a lot. >> Also, I think mentor involvement this
year has been a big thing that has helped us. Um, having more mentors to teach us how to do things as well as maybe get us sponsors or even like go out and get supplies when we need them has been a really big thing and it's been really nice to see all them integrate with the team.
>> Yay. All right, as you can see, uh, a lot of great things going on. Rocker activities. Um, interesting with baseball. I just want to say this, they had they had a a year where their record could have been way different. If you took out one inning in
every game, would that be true? One inning at every game, that team would be right on top of the conference. So, they learned a lot. um every group, you know, meets these kids needs and I think it's exciting and fun to see that what they can do as you see
multiple kids doing multiple things. Um it's pretty special and I think it's it's really a a cool the co-ops we have with Delano for the sports that we can't handle ourselves, lacrosse, um hockey, you know, some of those other
things. It's uh it's special. It's also keeps the kids in Rockford as opposed to transferring out going somewhere else. So, I thank the board for that for allowing us to do co-ops and um I appreciate all the kids being here today and thank you very much for everything you've done.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you for coming in. >> By the way, high schoolers, you're like the highlight of our meetings. We so appreciate you coming in to visit. >> Great job everybody. Thank you, Mr.
Brat. You bet. Thank you. >> I can get out of here. >> You ready? >> All right, we are going to move on to our next item on the agenda. Item 6B, World of Billion Video Celebration. >> Yes. Thank you, Chair Johnson. We might
need Courtney in here shortly, but I would like to invite Beth Russell and Kelly Miller to come up and talk about this wonderful young man and the work that he put in. Um, that really helped put Rockford on the map with with this
uh this video. So, would you be kind enough to come up and and share a little bit with us? And we can bring another chair if we need to. >> There we go. That's easier. >> Perfect. Um, so I'm Kelly Miller. I teach eighth grade social studies in the
middle school. >> I'm Beth Russell, 58 digital skills. >> Uh, I'm Vance Buddy Phillips. I am a student at Rockford Middle School. I mean, now >> high school. So the world of 8 billion was a video
project. It was a global or international contest where students have to research an environmental issue. Every year there are new topics and new themes. This year's themes were energy, economics or wetlands. So students would choose a topic and they would
research and find an issue that has to do with one of those three topics that's affecting our growing global population. So it's called world of 8 billion because our world is growing. We've crossed the threshold of 8 billion, we're on our way to nine billion. And so students are tasked with looking at these issues through the lens of
population growth. They also need to find a solution. Um it can be an existing solution or they can invent their own. And students were tasked with creating a one minute video, a very hardline one minute video. Um presenting their research, their information, how
it affects the world, and then their solutions. That's a lot to get to in one minute. And so Beth and I taught this crosscurricular co-curricular between digital skills and social studies for a week and a half students
>> yeah you started it and then yeah >> we did it together and then >> we did we did research in social studies for a week and then for the following week students worked two hours a day on this project. One hour in social studies, one hour in digital skills and they committed a lot of time to it and
worked very very hard. So this is our very first year doing it and we had incredible success because Vance with his was it our future energy tiles. What was it called? >> Energy tiles. >> Energy tiles with his video energy tiles. Um was highlighted and awarded the state honor award for Minnesota. So
there is a middle school division in this competition. There's a high school division. But for the state honor award that is the top video in the state period. So he beat any Minnesota high schoolers, any Minnesota middle schoolers as the top video in the state. So, um, I finally got Vance's gift card sent to me. So, he won an Amazon gift
card as, um, being awarded the state honor award for Minnesota. His name is up on the world of 8 billion website as a winner and it shows Rockford Middle School environmental studies and we're just very, very proud of him. >> Sounds awesome. >> Vance, anything you want to say about
your video or >> kids are why he won. They're so impressive. >> Uh so firstly, I would like to give a huge shout out uh to Miss Miller, Mr. Madson, and Miss Russell, as without their support of this project, I would
have never even known this contest existed. I would also like to give a shout out to the entirety of the Rockford Area School District for encouraging us to do things like this. When I was first assigned this project, I was quite taken aback as I was going to miss the day that we were told exactly what it was. I was kind of
unsure of what to expect as I had no ideas what to do. my video about and that remained the same for about a day or two after then. >> Can I can I pause for a second? >> I would like everyone to know Vance was on vacation in Las Vegas and was still completing research on this project
because he didn't want to get behind. So, >> we told him to stop also, but we are very proud. We did great. Go ahead. Um, and then one night I was thinking of things that I had to do for school and I remembered I still needed a a topic for
this video. So I started a brainstorm and I came up with energy tiles. This video project has helped me become a more confident student in my creativity and my hope for my future. Without the support of my teachers, I would have never been able to accomplish this video and be recognized here today. So one
more thank you to Miss Miller, Mr. Madson and Miss Russell for all being such great academic coaches for me and I will certainly miss you guys next year. >> Oh my god, you're crying. Good morning. >> One of the biggest things that is threatening our future is energy. Energy
is one of the most important things in our day-to-day lives in society. It powers cars, planes, computers, phones, and so many other necessities. So, as our population grows, we are facing a challenge. How will we have enough energy for everyone? This is where energy waste conservation comes in. Do you know how much energy is wasted per
day in New York just from people walking? Over 67 megawatt. That's enough energy to power up 65,000 homes. It could support several large scale operations such as smelting plants, massive data centers, or multiple high-speed electric rail lines. And it
could power roughly 20 to 30 large commercial airliners simultaneously. The panel works like this. A small square is positioned on top to provide a ground for people to walk on. Underneath, hidden to the public, there are four small springs that compress and send kinetic energy to the generator
through a field of wires that are underneath. Using these devices, we can create a more sustainable and eco-friendly future for all generations to come. >> So, yes, we're very, very proud of what you accomplished. Um, we're excited to use
Vance as kind of our springboard into future years with this project. We're absolutely going to do it again next year. Um, but >> energy board energy board. Exactly. Use kinetic energy to get more winners. I don't know. Um, we learned a lot through it and I'm happy to hear that you learned a lot as well, Vance. And we're just very
proud of all that you accomplished with it. >> That's awesome. We are. >> Congratulations. That's really cool. Thank you. with this teachers. >> Thanks, guys. >> Good job, Mom and Dad.
>> Thank you. >> All right, as we move on, stewardship of resources, uh, we need approval of a budget. Miss Peterson All right. Good evening board. I'm here
this evening to present to you the FY2627 school year summary budget. You have in your packet this amazing document that has, as many of you know, spent the greater part of the last six to seven months preparing this budget. Um, we've
met with principles and other leaders of Rockford Area Schools to help uh combine and put together this budget. I have a timeline on page two for all of you. Um, note that we talked extensively about this budget at our work session last month. Um, and so I'm here just to
summarize briefly for all of you this evening. Uh, the general fund budget as that budget was still a work in process last month. So, as I turn um to page four, I just want to remind all of you of our general fund budget assumptions.
We do have a projection of enrollment next year, 1485 students. Um, and then our main revenue streams are categorized into property taxes, state aids, federal revenues, and local revenues. uh no change in those revenue streams from the
last uh work session where you heard uh the property tax levy um increase this um from the FY26 school year to the 27th school year mainly related to the amazing support of our community and um the approval of the operating levy as well as the capital project levy and
that the state aid u projections are based on a 2.69% 69% increase in gen ed and then all other state categorical formulas. No major changes there. Uh and then the other items are pretty flat as we talked
about. And then just highlighting expenses um pretty quick. Salaries and employee benefits, you know, which take um approximately the greater part of almost 70% of our general fund budget. Those compensation models are based on or the projections
and assumptions I use are based on current collective bargaining agreements with some estimates for um any contracts that are currently in negotiations. And then many of our other line items, purchase, service, supplies, etc. Uh those budget lines were increased um for
um mainly inflationary or market demands or other previous agreed agreements that we had. Uh so kind of overarching most of those other lines, not the ones I mentioned before, were increased about 2%.
I do have a projection on page six for all of you. Um you can see the history of our general fund budget as well as a projection into the uh next fiscal year that FY2728 school year. Um wanted to highlight for
you all that the assumptions made into that fiscal year are based on current data today. Um you can see there that um our revenue or expenditures in that year will exceed our revenue. Um and so there's been some expenditure
adjustments made there but we will talk way more about the FY28 budget into the future as more data becomes available. So overall highlight on page seven of the general fund, we have our revenues going up about 5.9%
while our expenses are going up about 5.2%. Um I pretty much got this budget to be balanced. I do show a small $4,421 profit
budgeted and then leaving of course an um allto together fund balance which I will talk about more in depth as we turn the page of about six almost $6.5 million. Uh pages eight and nine for you are all of our expenditures broken out by
program area that we um operate here in Rockford area schools. The format of this does follow the the UFARS guidelines or the uniform financial accounting structure that I use day in and day out as do other um school
finance officials across our state. So um some some fun reading for you as it relates to programs. Um and then in closure as it relates to the general fund, I just wanted to highlight page 10 for all of you. And that document um
primarily the the upper half of that document is our general fund unassigned or unreserved fund balance as well as assigned and restricted. Those words um are used universally across all government entities. So they're not
words that I specifically chose. They are fun balances that mean different things. The restricted component area is the one that we probably focus most of our energy and most of our time on that comes right from the Minnesota Department of Education. They tell us
that these resources that are sent to us have to be earmarked and set aside and use for specific purposes. Um and so I I just want to highlight that first column. And that is a projected column of where I think these fund balances will end this year based on our budget
and based on current spend. So you can see all the way down there um that where our unassigned fund balance is at about 16.4%. So that's that upper 4 million of the 6.5 million almost that I'm projecting
us to have at the end of this year. And then as we move into the next two columns of what I'm asking for your approval this evening of the adopted budget, the FY2627 revenues and expenses, you can see in that restricted area, we are spending down those
restrictions. We're putting more um expense into some of those areas, qualified expenses of course um then we're bringing in in in revenues. And the reason for that is over time we've built I would call excess reserves in
some of those where they exceed more than in some cases even two years of need in those restricted areas. So as a result of the deficit spend in a few of those restricted areas. It has allowed us to put some additional resources back
into our unassigned. Um now with that said remember one thing about fund balance we can only once. So, while this is a one-time put back into our unassigned um that may not continue into the future every year because we may not
have these big fund balances built in our restricted areas. Um there are a few areas that I would encourage us to keep some cushion and that's the two fund balance reserves you see at the bottom there, operating capital and long-term facility maintenance. The reason for
that is we we we have unforeseen things that happen in those areas where things break down that we can't control um as easily as we can control some of the other areas. So you can see there again there's that $6.491,000 491,000
projected FY27 ending overall fund balance or um an overall fund balance of about 17.14%. That was a lot and that was very very very high level. Like I said, I have um in this packet for all of you a lot of
numbers and a lot of reading material and I would welcome any any questions related to the general fund um or any funds within this budget. Mr. Just one question that um this is related to what we were talking about in
the work session that future capital line item in the assigned >> not restricted that is that's where we've been accumulating that balance. >> Correct. We've been accumulating and setting aside approximately 50,000
annually for future capital needs related to our facilities. >> Okay. So that's the portion of the general fund available for capex in theory combined with
long-term facility maintenance to some >> Yep. So the long-term facility maintenance is um I'll call it more restrictive on what we can spend in that area. That's pretty prescribed by the Minnesota Department of Education. They
say you know fire certain exterior things were the assign for future capital needs that is unrestricted. >> We can spend that on whatever future capital needs we deem necessary as a board and as a district.
>> Good question. >> All right. Anybody else have any questions? >> Not a question per se, but a thank you and a welcome to Bridget as she's started with us here or was it May 1
with um uh much more time here in in the office. It's been amazing. It really has. And I also want to just, you know, as we all know, I think three years ago we were sitting at about an 8% fund balance and that has increased. I sleep much better at night um knowing that Bridget is control of in control of our
numbers. I think we probably all do. Um and this is a really challenging time, you know, I think with with the economy and with uh you know, birth rates and all kinds of things. And I mean, we have a lot of balls in the air, a lot of fun ones, but yet challenging. And um I'm
thankful for your work because, you know, I think when I first started in education and even moving to central office, it's like you think, you know, well, how much money we get and how much money are we spending? But there's also this ability to capture revenue. And um we're we're fortunate that you're an
expert at that and you're finding things under rocks and making sure that we maximize all the money that's coming to us and that we're due because that's not an easy thing. >> It's not. Thank you. And it is a passion of mine to do exactly that job. Find all the revenue I can. I think I said that three years ago or so when I met all of
you >> and I want to get a sign in my office that says you can only spend fund balance once. I hear that from you a lot. So >> it's very true. >> Yeah. All right. Anybody else? Any questions, comments? Thank you.
>> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> So that means at this time we need to take action and approve the fiscal year 2026 27
preliminary or budget. Preliminary budget. Budget. Annual budget. >> Annual budget. >> All right. Motion to approve the budget as presented. >> Motion by Morgan. >> I'll second. >> Second by Hilstrom.
Sorry, just making notes here. All right. Any other questions or comments? >> All right. All in favor signify by saying I. >> Those opposed? >> Passes unanimously. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> See you later.
>> Are you going to go into the >> No. No. Just say you can. Yeah, you're free. You're free to >> feel free. >> Feel free. Oh, I like that much better. Thank you. >> Take you up on that. I think I might take you up on that offering.
>> Thank you. >> Yeah. >> All right. Our next item on the agenda is the 2026 Superintendent Iowa Reauthorization. Something we do every single year. Um, so any comments or anything about that? >> Nope. Just need it.
>> Just need it. All right. >> Does anybody have any questions about it? >> Nope. >> All right. So, at this time, I will accept a motion to approve. >> I'll motion to approve Superintendent Iowa renewal. >> Motion by Shadine. >> Second. >> Second by Gordy.
Any other questions or comments? All in. Is it a resolution? Resolution. It's a resolution. Madam clerk. >> Kevin Shadine. >> Hi. >> Eric Gordy. >> Hi. >> Jessica Johnson. >> Hi. >> Chris Morgan. >> Hi. >> Jamie Hillstrom. I bet is absent.
>> Passes unanimously. Thank you very much. All right. Um now we're moving to 8 A and we have the um Minnesota State High
School League membership renewal. Any notes or anything about that? >> No. Once again, this is something that we do annually. Um that document has been signed. um pending approval of for tonight and so just asking for your approval as as a board for our membership in the Minnesota State High
School League for next school year. >> All right. At this time, I'll entertain a motion. >> I make I move for the MSHL membership. >> You got a first second by Mr. Shadim.
>> Any other questions or comments? All right. Since this is a resolution, Madam Clerk. Hi. Kevin. >> Hi. >> Jessica Johnson. >> Hi. >> Chris Morgan. >> Hi. >> Jamie Hstrom. I Beth Breast is absent. >> Passes unanimously. All right. The
approval of the 26 27 uh district operational plan. Dr. W. >> Thank you, Chair Johnson. Yeah, you guys have received a copy of this, I think, with the links. And there's not a lot of links because it's this is the um
proposed draft of the DOP for next school year. Um, as you know, because we're now going into year three or four of of the DOT together. And I'm going to try to see if I can get this to go the way I need to go, but essentially, um, maybe I'm going the wrong direction
here. Um, as you know, we have our uh strategic directions as a school district that that you guys have been heavily involved in, which um also are the um the agenda topics for all of our board meetings with the definition and rationale. Um going through the uh the
do here and I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this because you've seen it. Um we have goals underneath obviously student student growth and achievement um using our baseline work uh and the work that we're doing around um instruction and academics. Uh there is
the roadmap. You've seen that before. None of this should really be new to any of you. Um we've talked about reimagining our um you know our time um intervention time and extension and uh enrichment time at all three sites. And
so that's coming into play with our blast uh our work around MTSS. So um that's really around that particular topic, a healthy and supportive environment. Um I've shared a little bit already tonight about what we're doing in human resources and this has been
it's been exciting. Um uh Cindy and I have been spending a lot of time uh refining and uh creating efficiencies um in HR and so those things are indicated there as well. Um I've mentioned on a few occasions our work around this idea
of a profile of a graduate. Um so we're working there um in that area. Go the wrong direction here. Um the launch your future work that we've been heavily invested in um we're going to continue that work into next year. Uh
doing some work as you recall we did insights training here um with the board here. was it last about a year and a half ago at our retreat. We'll be doing that same thing with our district leadership team here in u I think it's in August and then we're also doing a
couple of book studies. One is lead like lasso and the other one is start with the why. So um really working to cultivate um our work around leadership um and professional learning together as a team. Uh these goals were primarily provided um
via Jeff Kenitz around cyber security, safety and security um and management of our systems. Um if you've done any reading of the local paper in the last couple of months, there's been a lot of cyber attacks on schools. Couple of big
ones um even one in Delano and another one um at Spring Lake Park. So they're they're targeting schools and we're fortunate at least for the next year we have Jeff Keen that's on the watch. So he's been heavily invested in that. So
these are goals are provided by him and his department. School community and family partnerships again the demographic study which will be shared with you in August. We're seeing some interesting dynamics there. um partnerships with our various
municipalities um reaching out to these groups um a lot lately, particularly Corkran, but also uh Rockford as we're seeing growth there as well or some some growth in terms of building uh with the large apartment complex across 55 and also working with our friends in
Greenfield. um that new development that I think I shared out with you guys maybe was about a month ago, three or four weeks ago, that came as somewhat of a surprise um but a very pleasant one at that. And our work with them is to see, you know, their pace, their their plans
there and then also to be connecting with developers because our capture rate there needs to be high from the the folks that are going to be moving into those those things over the course of the next four to six years. Um again working on our communications and our crisis team. We learned a lot
through um that uh that bomb threat that we had here a few months ago. Um also work around ADA um digital accessibility which is becoming a requirement here um both federally and statewide and our impact around public relations and
marketing. Those things matter and they're important to us as a school system. Um again looking at uh more things around culture of collective purpose u visual exemplars things on websites our profile work signage all of these things matter
um because we are folks we're in a competition uh we're in competition for kids ours and others. So um anything we can do to promote our district and ourselves and to put us in a good light is very very important. Um we are changing some of the protocols at the
schoolboard meetings with our principles. um coming in together as a team in February, May and November. Um you will see Kathy and myself um sharing information with you guys at meetings in January, March, May, and October.
Uh we have already started, as you well know, the restructuring of personnel at the end duties at the district office. We've gone through some responsibilities, recrafted that document, shared it out on our hub. Um but also um we are working to become
more efficient. Um and I know there's some conversation there because I've talked both with Eric and Jessica a little bit about um that um and I'll share some things as we get going perhaps in close session. Um onboarding of our new administrative staff. Super super excited. We're going to miss some
folks. We really are. Um Dan Prep being one. Uh Stacy Larson another one. But we also are really excited about Joe Clay coming in. uh Denise Inga Britson at the activities area, but also Jill Gordy and having her to be able to expand her leadership as associate principal at our
high school. Um so the mentorship process there with various organizations as well as um with with other leaders in the system is going to be really important because we want to support our new folks coming into those positions. Um again workflow um that we're doing
within our system. And then this is something that has been a conversation. We started this in policy committee a little bit. Um, and I'm going to lean on the board a little bit on this one because as we talk about these goals again, they're they're not just goals for myself and my team, but also as a district at large, including all of you
as board members. How is AI going to be impacting us as a school system? And how are we going to be um proactively navigating that? uh because I know there's been policy things coming out and we've talked about that in policy and saying, you know, let's slow this down a little bit, make sure we do
what's right for us. Uh stewardship of resources, um that early retirement um uh incentive MOA is is in for this year. We'll be talking about that with staff as we go through our work around long-term facilities
maintenance. Um, again, you're going to notice a lot of this has board fingerprints or will have board fingerprints on. One of the things, and not to put pressure on you or make you nervous, but some of the decisions you guys are going to be making in the next couple of years, um, with guidance and
so forth, administration are going to chart the direction of our school system for probably another decade or two. >> No pressure. Uh >> so um also how we're going to be utilizing that um u capital projects funding at $250,000 annually is going to
be important as well. So decisions for the board. Um land appraisal um again that's that's come through and conversations as I mentioned with perhaps future land purchases as well. Um and then uh employee contracts. We
have those two coming up this year and we'll be starting um conversations with our teachers group again probably um late spring early summer. So and then airfree this one here is important too. Um and I really want to mention Crystal
Larson in this one. Airfree state reporting now that EDFI we're edfi certified. Um, this was no small undertaking for those of you who know this world a little bit and we're super lucky to have Christa. I mean, we are super lucky because she is at the head
of this. I'm talking across the state. So, that's our work. Um and then again with long-term technology infrastructure plans um as we have those things and we'll be doing some work as as um this is Jeff Keenan's last year um with us
before he hits retirement and that will be a large loss but we have we have plans in place to find a succession plan and also to kind of keep Jeff around a little bit because he he really likes Rockford. Um, any questions or thoughts with respect to the 14page dot that we're
going to be um asking you to adopt this evening? >> Yes, >> I have I had something rolling around in my brain today while I was looking at this. Is there any way we can get like some some sort of behavioral data? When we first hired the extra counselors, it
was COVID money and now it's funded pretty heavily through access. with that potentially going away. I just would kind of like to see >> Do you want it as part of the DOP or just having the data >> and I wasn't I wasn't really sure if it needed to go >> because we we have that data. Um and the
reason we have it is because we need to share that with the state. >> Um >> yeah, we have it and we in fact just finished that report. So um I can I can get that data pulled together and I can share it out with all of you. >> Yeah. And I I was like is that thing or not? So,
>> it's very timely. Um, you know, what I can say is, uh, I couldn't be more impressed with the work our counselors are doing. Um, but I think as we, you know, depending on how things shake out with the general election in November, I
mean, we're going to have almost a brand new House and Senate and a new governor. So, how that plays out, you know, anyone who's been in any larger scale meetings with me or heard me online at AMSD or MASA or SAF, I talk about this all the
time. They need to address this at the outset of the session. And when I say this, I'm talking about the $250 million special ed cut. They can't shift it by law. They have to repeal what they passed last year um and find funding for that. So Jaime's question is a really
good one because if that funding is gone, do those positions become part of the conversation. >> I'm hoping the funding isn't gone because those folks are doing great work um and they're a massive part of our support system. But as we talk about right sizing, does that become part of
our conversation? Because you're right, a good chunk of that is funded through ads. So um I will um unless you would like that data put into the operational plan, I can get that data and send it out to you. Okay, I'll share with the whole board. >> Thank you. >> Yep.
>> So at this time I would just be asking for approval of the poor next academic. >> Anybody any other questions? >> Well then we will move ahead for approval of the DOT for 2627
school year. >> Go ahead Jamie. I'll make a motion to approve the DO for the 26. Motion by Hilstrom. >> Second. >> Second by Gordy. Any other questions or comments? All in favor signify by saying I.
>> Those opposed. Passes unanimously. All right. Community school and family partnership. Uh a acknowledgement resolution of acknowledgement of contributions and donations. >> Yes. Thank you. As we do every month, I would like to extend a thanks to those
in our community who have been so kind as to donate uh gifts either of the monetary value um of which we saw uh quite a bit from both uh individuals and organizations including the foundation, but also folks who have graduated and
whose families have um kindly donated back um their excess uh lunch money. So, we've seen that and also a few items um pencils, markers, erasers, glue, and so forth that have been donated. So, on behalf of Rockberry Schools, I'd like to ask the board to graciously accept those
gifts. >> All right. At this time, I'll entertain a motion to approve. >> I'll make a motion to approve the contributions and donations. >> Motion by Hilstrom. >> I'll second. >> Second by Shadine. Any other questions or comments since this is a resolution?
Madam Chair or Madame Clerk, >> yeah, pretty much >> Jamie Hilstrom. I Kevin, >> hi. >> Jessica Johnson, >> hi. >> Eric, >> hi. >> Chris Morgan, >> hi. >> That is absent. >> That passes unanimously.
All right. Next item. Uh, finance committee has a meeting on July 13th at 8:15 virtually, and there is a video link for that. policy committee meeting July 20th at 4:30 followed by a board of education
work session at 5:30. Did I say 5:30? That one 4:30. Um and then regular meeting of the board uh on July 20th at 6:30. Um I spoke with Jamie a little earlier today. We need to do our board
um evaluation. So wondering since we have three people that already can be here at 4:30 that day, would we be able to possibly bump the policy meeting and maybe do 4:00 for a board
um uh 4 if 4:30 if we can't if >> what day are we talking? >> That is Monday the 20th >> just to do a board evaluation >> of July. you already have the policy meeting so it would just be
>> so move policy to possible >> what time would you like policy moved to >> well >> well what I suggested is and uh just August you got rid of the board work session so we >> policy free spot there
something >> the only thing with that is our annual review policies those normally go up in July that's what we were looking to review. >> I could find another date and share it out with you guys. I'll do I'll work on that tomorrow >> for policy.
>> Yeah. >> All right. >> So, let's Why don't you go ahead and move the >> Does that work? Chris and Kevin, you two are the only ones on that day that I need to know if like 4 or 4:30 would work for you. >> I So, I'm going to be in Japan. I was planning on
>> Right. >> because it's early in the morning, but 4:30 does get very early. >> Way early for you. >> 5:30 is good, but I can probably So we would do it at 4:30. >> Yeah. >> Is that the that's the 20th or the third? No. >> The 20th.
>> Yeah. >> I mean I can >> that's a >> we should all be in person. >> I just know it's an important work session. >> So should we leave policy where it is then? >> Yep. Leave policy. >> Okay. Also that's not on my calendar by
the way for the >> policy. >> Yeah. You're not on policy. >> Cuz you're NOT ON POLICY. GOOD ON YOU. >> I JUST KNEW we had three people that could make it. I was like, possibly. >> It's a good thing to pick up. >> Eric loves Paul. >> Um

that since it was on the calendar? >> Works for me. >> Should be okay. >> Should be okay. >> Is that something you want me here for or not? >> You want to be here to pick on us? That'd be great. Yeah, you don't need to do it. >> I don't know if you really have to be.
So, >> I don't evaluate you. It's the other way around. >> August. >> No, but your input is valuable. >> It is. >> So, if it'd be nice to have you here, >> if we can do I don't know if anybody can do earlier if that'd be a better option for
>> No, I don't think it doesn't matter to me. >> Five. So, 5 5:30. What are you guys thinking? >> I'm open that day. Whatever works. So, >> 5:30. >> Yep. Okay. We'll stick with 5:30. All right, let's do 5:30. >> Courtney will send a calendar invite for
