Peter a motion to approve the agenda and we moved to his went to court. I so before we have anybody read me just want to remind everybody 3 minutes for a total time of 30 minutes and the first person is Chrissy people I haven't talk now if I ask they talk about something that I can I wait and see it at the end or not know how they open a for lunch working for a 20 years student government is trying to bring open Campus before I feel that there's there's one not enough places for kids to go to we have added a new station where they can get a chef salad parfaits sub sandwiches bigger peanut butter and jelly sandwiches we have more options everyday so I feel that we're giving them everything they need and I just feel that when kids leave I don't think that's a good option so that's just mine you sound so thank you good evening my name is Thompson oh thank you for allowing me to speak this evening I've been attending school board meetings for quite some time including the work session last week in which the superintendent the administration team and teacher represent who share their educational vision for the disc my understanding this was in response to the vision questions submitted by the board collectively as a board and individual as board member you have an obligation and a duty to govern the operations of the PCM District this include asking the tough questions gathering information to make him decisions not EZ Pass so I commend you for challenging our Mastery she and our Educators but where does it State the board and its members are considered or will act as the experts in determining the most effective and appropriate means towards achieving the best education experience possible for all of our students you ask the question the administration and teachers or educational experts in a school district gave you answers and from where I sat last week the board Collective response came across as it's not Wally presented a few specific changes for 2024 and 2025 school year which I fully support and so should this bored I felt the board miss the bigger picture they are simply asking for your support their Collective Vision the collective Edge they didn't ask for an immediate commitment to everything presented they express their interest and their desire to work together with the board to achieve their Bishop so my question is why is it so difficult for this board to Simply pressing could be its support of their Vision why are you stuck on eating more data when the test scores paint the picture for you why do you routinely ask for more more information I will always be an individual who believes academics is a district number one priority as I said before every student who walks into any of our educational for please has a right to a solid education and learning opportunities extracurricular activities and Athletics as much as I enjoy them those are a privileged participation in these is earned not given but in order to ensure the educational right of a student have the facilities to support such an environment whether that's an addition of the classrooms or an addition of classrooms and a gym is easy to see how all of this connects and those lines were connected with in division presented last week we will struggle to achieve academic excellence great alignment and proper facility accommodations a lot of parents and community members are engaged in how the school district will adjust to the challenges facing us today such as declining enrollment lack of facilities based more looking back to the previous November there are quite a few with an a sitting in your chair our communities are changing on a regular basis and the district must find ways to keep adjusting its practices facilities and vision keep paste the board's practice of waiting for the perfect answer and ask asking questions over and over again is out it's time for this board to step up and start listening and supporting the experts I would like to share my thoughts took place on Tuesday February 13th want to thank everyone and share their thoughts and ask questions regarding the desire District dr. ringel asked why there was no data to support their conclusions a my opinion data is pretty much useless because you can find David to support or refute any recommendation instead look at the testing of the 4th and 5th grade simply merge all the information that is needed as I am sure before my mother was a fifth grade teacher for over 30 years one of her biggest frustrations and teaching the school board's not listening to the school leadership or teachers were telling them as you recall last Tuesday night when did the admin teams share their thoughts with teacher said the same they're telling you what they need or what they need to succeed and in doing so we're saving the school district money and more importantly how this recommendation would impact the kids will educate an emotionally and that is what this decision is about doctor angle you also said that this is a business decision and that statement is incorrect this is an education at decision if I were sitting in your seat I would favor of this recommendation I am not an education and not an educator so I would I would be relying on those in the field for the fact-based information which I believe has been done I'm a real estate appraiser so how could I ignore Educators telling me what they need or do not need to do their job successfully that is like me going into a house that Ryan is wiring and telling him that he's doing it wrong mr. steam Peter you asked if a video could be made to share what is being present everyone sitting here or elected to make decisions on the resident we have it is your job to look listen and analyze the information that is presented and make an informed not an emotional but an informed decision simple do you see the benefits of this recommendation cost money and we'll a bond need to go to vote if supported absolutely cause of continually going up Ryan 20 years ago to Prairie City Fire Department asked the city to build a new fire station $800,000 today that fire station is costing the city almost three million to build if we do not act now the cost of these improvements could be astronomical doctor havenstrite share that this Vision that was presented was discussed before she was hired for you the time for talk and continual Quest the question is over and it's a decision needs to be made now if the board supports this proposal I'll be the first one in line to advocate for passing a bond the benefits and the impact it could have on the kids Educators and both can both communities stronger together remember this decision is not about keeping up with the Joneses Joneses but keeping us competitive with other school district this recommendation is not for anyone to pad the resume is simply about the kids and the future PCM Generations thank you I sent emails and spoke about the poor communication in this District before but I think we really need to take this seriously we just spent almost nine housing for the creation of a PCM app which does a good job telling everyone about school sports and menus we've also have emails texts and phone calls for snow days and we have other notifications are for school happenings by all communication to do at the school board meeting I'm jealous and minutes is completely inadequate over the last year the information that is included in the agendas and minutes for public review online is even less than it has been previously again this appears to be by Design and controlling of the narrative last week the board works it was not posted anywhere on Facebook or through email if I had not been told of the meeting by a staff member I probably would not have known it was taking place and I feel I try to pay attention to what is happening so then how ironic it was during a meeting for the question to be asked to Ministry S2 at the public actually knew they were free to attend the meeting or proposals presented at the last work session asking for the board to act just seems ridiculous that the public will not be informed of a meeting with so much potential impact on the future of the district we're told repeatedly about the importance of all stakeholders in the district this sentiment was repeated again during the sciac meeting about the vision plan for the administration what they request for a feedback to that plan look into various lenses of examination then 2 weeks later. do you change behind closed doors with paper covering the windows what exactly are we doing here is our opinion actually really matter I know as I speak for myself and quite a few others that feel any time questions are you going to ask there's an effort to shut up where are we with the novo in Phase 2 we paid a lot of money for a design rebuilt or a facilities skip a face to include engaging the community Through events and stakeholders in it's not advertised work session on Tuesday night about the silly changes sufficient near my house for Community engagement I would hope I certainly hope not was talking to work session about Troublesome amount of rumors around the community full of wrong information a simple way to fix that would be actual factual timely and open communication I don't just meet update notifications about the next basketball game these are major topics that affect everyone moving forward with necessitates get it right with respected input from all stakeholders we have to do better thank you my name is Becky party, I have children currently enrolled in the district at any both Elementary School I have concerns of the great alignment plan being considered by the board doesn't have to come sent us here a few points to consider it's a poor use of her kids only blocks from school and it sent already long bus rides Brothers their promises and every student in the district was bus to the other school for multiple years during their time in elementary dispensing amounts to 50 minutes per day and Counting two rides loading and unloading this equates to at least 21 full day's worth of a Time wasted per student each year does insufficient process has buses arrive in to school half hour early so that many could just wait around for others catch another bus how to create complications for family with kids pending both schools family strongly consider when choosing where to live for them to tell us we have issues or train at a particular School which school that could be you could change at a given time then the right response is to focus our efforts and resources I'm fixing that underlying problem rather than minimizing its appearance and making it less obvious 3 trade alignment has already been tried and deemed a failure other local school districts for example elementary school until Middle School academic research shows that students benefit from minimal building transition more time classroom and less time sitting on the bus why would PCM with even longer bus rides in the more geographically spread-out environments move to a nun has an unsuccessful model for our ministration to justify this proposal with well-rounded academic Reese and there should be a transparent process with Community involvement on the country seems Administration wishes to push this proposal through while drying as little attention as possible we're being told that in vague terms it's a better use of resources and will increase clabber but what are the concrete benefits for our kids for all the obvious downfalls I personally do multiple families living in a district for the object to open enroll to other neighboring districts because they don't make sense I certainly want the best for all I just don't feel that this proposed the great alignment coffee is the best way to get there if we continue on this plan it won't be surprising when the district enrollment continues to decline and it's funny he continues to decline year after year I understand this approach is well-intended but I feel as misguided I'm much stronger more well recent case must be provided to the parents of PCM before further great alignment is approved from the board thank you hey my name is bad nearby I'm going to shift gears a little bit from wasn't by myself as a candidate for Jasper County supervisor and then maybe it's a little bit unusual for a candidate for supervisor to come to school board meeting but this is my phone just a couple miles north of where we custom feed Hogs and so I just wanted to let you guys know who I am when I'm doing and I am pretty interested to hear what's going on with the board so I'll hang around a little bit and maybe talk to some people it looks like it might run a little bit late so we'll controversy regarding having the caucus at the school Republican caucus and we got that end I know the weather wasn't great but we got it done and won't work very well so if whoever is responsible until said thank you for that which is unusual for me three years I've watched politics that I am you sing cable news so this way into what's going on in our own local area a little bit the name-calling falling out people's reputations many on the board many of the staff members who work within the school superintendent all around it's just a crying shame that where we got into my here a lot of arguments and everybody in the crowd talking about data points and perhaps the best thing for us to do is to pass we made a big change in this District a year ago or a couple years ago bring our 5th grade together and analyze that information we have one data point from that one and I'm not really interested in whatever said he comes to whatever to her place that datapoint generally was a deposit. But we don't have a train yet we don't know last year weather that's going to go on and become another step forward or we don't know where we're going to go backwards but I do think is important to me and Liza data for our district and how it affects our kids and make a decision based on that information not necessarily what have outside of this that being said I think it's also important for those that are putting in extra time myself included I was in a Maasai a committee that is currently together but I was on the building and building lead to made it we had before this a lot of us put in a lot of that late at night coming in offering input talking about what direction want the school to go I think that we have a really good picture about what this looks like and I think they're really good ideas and came up with their I really think we need to keep moving that direction but I don't think it's wise do blaster in a year or two years I think that is important for us to take our time and analyzing information making progress to make him up make a move when they make sense so yeah it is there if we're going to be passing a bond I'm in favor of it at whatever time it is now sorry for us to do that but I do think it's important for us to keep track of any straight things like that that's all important for us to consider overall I just think we need to pause that your time move on make an educated decision I also include making sure we don't shut down the people whenever they're out here talking and whenever there are extra talking I think that we do need to do a better job of listening and just understanding the everybody in here has good intentions to our kids in the kids the tennis District nobody gets a new school board I walked into a classroom to come in a minute straight or a teacher to harm kids nobody does everybody here is trying to do the best they can create the best results and sometimes we're going to disagree cleared but let's pause let's take steps for make sure that we're not making steps now but don't that set us back and we try to record on a vision I think it's important for your all the board members to make sure we get on board that Vision including telling us how much right hey you know maybe I'm not in favor of doing it doing a Bonds in a year maybe I'll be in for three years we don't know what's going to happen if I mean as a doubt for years ago for your time Christina I would not have said that I moved to Monroe three years ago I'm from Des Moines I had a daughter I wanted her in a small town with the school clothes I grew up in you and thought that was a little too big even when Supply coming from Des Moines wanted her in a small town last week I attended a Valentine's Day party and I was told hey do you know your daughter really third grade of hang so then I see it on Facebook somebody posted third grade my next turn tell Christian bus comes every morning if I'm going to put my kid on a bus to hop over crazy to me driving to Prairie City Communications pretty sad what's really sad is sitting in this do people come up here talk scene School District employees with rolled her eyes and Sean people that are sitting here talking and it's pretty sad I substitute for the school district that I hear teachers I don't know if I like the bench eat more that people want to talk to me but I feel like they're on valued here compared to Prairie City Elementary the plans to shut down when should we bring Middle School over here and then try it and it I took the stuff from your employees that's pretty sad but that's how people are here and things it's pretty sad as a parent I'm being told my kid to go to Party City next to the first time I told about it I need to hear to have my kid clothes I moved here to not mess with buses I moved here from Des Moines for a small-town feel I'm disappointed 3 years I'm disappointed thank you play one more to read here are members of the board is reporting that parent-teacher conference all in the same night as a board meeting as you know and I'll make sure to how to prioritize in a board meeting would have been here tonight if at all possible due to the complex I am presenting this letter on behalf of some PCM elementary teachers as those in the trenches we want our voices to be heard by the board and those present night meeting we should show our support for our PCM Ministry and the proposed division of uniting PCM Elementary Warren Elementary Under One Roof at school leaders to preserve the Lyman Elementary hours of operation brainstorming and problem-solving hadn't been trying to plan that is best for ensuring a strong Foundation we support our ministry addition to align PCM Elementary in one location knowing that it may require Insurance steps along the way we began this process over two years ago First Step was to buy and trade land with the continued great together as face with figured out you're already we are ready to move forward with their grade combined next year this plan will get all pissy on 3rd to 5th grade students under the under the same room while I continue to work to order in I mean preschool through

About the great one for the good mornings are you guys working schedule mortgage news work session to discuss when we go laughing last Tuesday that's good news to me that we have the ministrator is to put the time in the Olympics you're making people uncomfortable that's greater and we need to be read to look at as a board we need to look at all the stuff we've been sitting in the same spot for a lot of years 10 years ago but now different situation that we don't have a lot of teachers teachers of Industry now to deal with vouchers sorry but awareness now or what we need to do after the 4th is invited me and I appreciate that so that's good news to me what number is things that you seen around campus we like to celebrate so a couple things are athletic teams of all had a great postseason really excited about that representing Stowell James was rocking really that's a lot of people there was so much really a lot of fun energy so that came out to support you have an app I want to thank the people games that work on that are director of communications Tappan Zee High and Tyler green Tyler is here thank you so much behind the scenes that you don't see me you don't hear them a lot but it took a lot of time to get the app and so this is a great way not just for parents because we can connect with a grandparent see how do I get those announcements I can get those things so we're really excited so we've been working all summer staff and felt like if we're going to try to rise up the antenna to their students and staff as well and I'm super excited for the board the exceptional attendance we had an exceptional year most of the time our staff last year the last three years was subs and all the shortage staffing issues were big I can tell you that we really are having a huge Improvement shown by that list. yard work over there on the office gals I don't do it for myself but exceptional attendance on the outside of every door as a motive as well so they can come by and see if I can get to do it and lastly a shout-out I doubt they're listening but maybe someone is associated with a bummer and the plumbers Steamfitters union is coming to provide upgrades in our welding boots for free so we're super excited and will thank them for we need to stay up to date in route to the consent agenda beautifulnara it's going right track dates you're ready made it aboard now's your opportunity to ask questions. Cuz I have one g a near water coinciding scheduling with various and Sundry things Burns or they're having me make choices about when we go to this thing work schedule one, anyway. That people are who play well and I just want to know if we have a central place with anything anybody anywhere will want to schedule something and goes there so we don't have conflicts first quite a bit with that so I would encourage we just had one is that met the band concert in Port City basketball game I know things happen but that means dangerous happening yeah I just want to make sure that we're doing everything we can schedule I'd like to hear some feedback on information from the virtual name but just overall how you feel about them through the future I'll be on Thurman really really good participation not too many issues that were brought up I'm trying to think if there was that day from kids at work sure I'll win something we knew it was a pretty smooth operation and then looking at that the data that was put together in the the board agenda tonight kind of worms that as well so appreciated the ability to wake up at 6 a.m. and get started and be done by you know 9:10 a.m. I think that's a lot of businesses are get your work done when you don't really care you know long as everything's done and and you're not missing out on anything so it was a successful at the middle school to 3% and it didn't really like it. it was worthwhile in raw teachers when they needed to I would say it works well for most kids honestly like Sam said something that made you didn't work so well it didn't work so well for I'm so maybe I'm a little bit better in the future would be important I do think it gave our students an opportunity to engage in an online platform for a class or so students who haven't done it yet there's a lot of students that maybe take a college course online already and are used to that I know that online learning but some of our kids were able to log on and see it and see how it works maybe I know it's not so bad a gave him an opportunity to have that it you're handsome in the Washington they needed to and just making sure the fat content was relevant to what was going on in the classroom was something that was really really important for I have a couple come in and actually ask a question in person I'm to just work in representative on our board has to be great time I think Susan I was right about when we did not think that the teachers did a really good job of explaining going to be on the Google meet I want to join that was not an issue at all and the day before the 1st do you guys have any questions let me know and then they still were like if you have questions please don't be 2 hours and if I had questions I could ask my friend in the group chat and it was great I left it I do that one more time, the reason for bringing this up was in the Nutrition department last month we mention dobretour cooler that has a bunch of repairs we just filled out a grant so if I did that grant money for that cooler are we still having issues with her it's not working furniture repair in San Bernardino I mean one was probably like for the beginning of the school year and then there was another one. you know about your grand it's not like we're running out of money you have to wait before you get the grant or can you purchase it for now how many kids don't have internet at home is there phone number I got I got 30 cattle School paper paper those were the ones that came did the kids struggle with the computer as much as we do Tyler or they am I awesome evening move on to comitia things opportunity for the board when is The Lion Sleeps Tonight I think I did mention that I had a lot of people say your question give her tax number bully ball low but not everything yeah we're good Financial condition right now what doctors talk about was the issue for now board president is that long what was that again CDs in the past my risk $5 in Jamaica nothing teachers because we make as much money as we lost to the school choice law also we got some things on the agenda tonight in baseball Mike's security concerns with the bleachers which president Zion Road Halsey well you turning the requirement for some volunteer service things for graduation 2 hour per year if I understand it right so if you're a freshman coming in delete our lots of options. okay we want the business items District science of reading so what we're getting started what is the color line and place my name is his CDs for those of you who may be Elementary principal I'm really thankful to build a share about this tonight I am passionate about this work and I will say this is my third year and something I would really like to see the board asked more questions about his actual academic learning other students I feel like I answer many questions about lunch menus and buses and whether their students to wear a jacket not jacket but I don't really ever heard anyone say what do you think which a my view is really really important and as a mom I know I care a lot about what my kids learn at school so I'm sure the other parents want to know what their kids are at school so I hope that we can start to have more conversations around how to grow our academics I'm so one of the things we're going to talk about today the science of read and why we are starting to talk about the science of reading a couple of reasons when I came here three years ago we had significantly low test scores and reading and reading accuracy are students were struggling to read I don't think that was transparently shared but that was that was the truth there were many middle schoolers and we have Middle School people here to be able to share that with you that were many students going to middle school without reading and writing stuff and if you know anything just overall confidence in advocacy of a person they need to be able to fluently read in it no matter what you do and so I think it's important enough that it's something we should talk about once in a while and so tonight I'm going to talk about the science of reading and share a little bit about the goals for PCM Elementary so first of all definition but it's important it's a vast interdisciplinary body a scientifically based research about reading and issues relating to reading and writing so the science has five Decades of research behind it it's nothing new it's it's worth that the interdisciplinary peace is not just an education research is education the Neuroscience research on the linguistic research there's a lot of research and meta-analysis that goes in the science of reading so in the year two thousand one of the most important studies of all time was a national reading panel came out with their 5T thing that students should learn and literacy and that was for logical awareness phonics fluency vocabulary and comprehension I'm sure you've heard those terms in with your parent conferences or so these five pillars of Islam learning to read are all necessary this shift over the past few years has been the research of science is showing us these things need to be taught more explicitly than they once were and we'll talk about that so there are two Senate bills right now and I'm not an expert at this but I'll do my best to explain where they're at and what's going on but there are two bills right now I said Bill 3155 requires colleges to train teachers on the science of reading this is very exciting because our colleges or not equipping our teachers on anybody that comes out as a first-year I've never acted this long time I've trained over 100 new teachers and they will tell you I didn't really learn how to teach reading but it really I didn't really learn a lot of that so there's a lot of pressure lately under the teacher service programs to get that research and learning and teacher seems so hopefully if this bill passes the teachers will be required to have that learning there's another part of it really will have to pass a test sadly I think that's not happening right concerning to me that we don't have to pass the test to teach kids but we would also get about 9 million dollars in training for current Educators so that's a bill happening right now and if you keep current with those you probably know that another bill is 3069 and it elevates the science of reading and it actually band the three queuing system to you most likely but it means a lot to Any teacher it's the way we were taught to teach years ago it was a more of a pretty look at the pictures more of a balanced literacy and so far this is so we know that a science of reading is something that even at the state level there's light at Acacia and we feel very perfect do something really mean about reading is not the human brain is not developed is not have to learn to read so the human brain, the insects make letters sound connection nor does it develop naturally without instruction however so I've been reading teacher for 23 years and I was saying last biggest change is that we need to go more of a speech-to-text we did a text to speech so if you think about that we naturally can see that's a skill we can actually do and then we take it to text so a little bit of a shift in how we learn to read so it's just don't learn to read so this is the study of 1986 of the simple view of reading this is probably one of the most popular studies in terms of elements created and what we look at here is the decoding and the language equal to reading comprehension reading comprehension is our ultimate goal reading students can read and understand the theories however to get there we have to have the phonics the phone logical awareness the word study work and the language still listening comprehension both of these are important and then ultimately tree I comprehend a student that can read it. Read something answer questions about it at the level of which stay at Grizzle okay so we're going to leave the green just a little bit this is a reading brain and we use the left hemisphere of our brain for reading and their different lobes of the brain and each different part of the brain is actually responsible for a part of how the reading process works sometimes you'll hear people say my sister just went a little differently how to read or study this summer we're us doctor shared with us every the brain is wired what students need to access that is a little different so the strategy some kids need more reteaching but we do know how kids learn to read when you when you think about the brain why is Early Childhood so important when we talk about why are we always talking about early literacy well there's something called neuroplasticity and neural plasticity of the bill that the Rings the neurons and the give me the actually change and grow and they in there they're flexible you can manipulate that starts in the lower grades and baia. 10 years old it takes about four times longer to learn to read and write so that's why this for our students are out of elementary school that's why I keep saying strong Foundation strong Foundation our students need to read before they leave school it takes that much longer and I can think of it through a lens of just I want my suit Siri you can maybe thing is real and said that means more reading teachers that means more time that means more more support I'm so we're going to keep going here so let's take the brain and break it down now to the actual process of reading and Heather's going to pass out a paper for you so the brain that we just talked about that left hemisphere and although glow we have something called a four-part processor and the four-part processor is does study the work that we use to decide our curriculum so if you would say to me how do you decide on how do you despise decide on a all of these four things happen with a millisecond so down here we had the orthographic and the phonological processing remember we learn speech innately and so from our phonological That's Her speech a student here say the sound and then they hear they see it as a letter S as a symbol S in their house so they hear the town they see the symbol and then it goes up to meeting so let's use the word witch and a millisecond faster than week a student hears the facts and then they go to the orthopedic and see where they are now I got to find the letters switch because we've learned after church Dennis shooting up to the meeting and immediately they're saying what is this which we wanted her needs that I might switch places I might switch Nintendo switch that means they're making meanings from their backpacks and if you shoot up to the contacts processor that's when they're able to put into contact but it is a sentence turn on the light switch turn off the light switch to switch places with you these things natural naturally happened these are all through building back down conversations having to do a lot of reading reading to our children and when someone said to me how can I help my kids read your children research other because we can do this at school and we need your help doing this 78 80% maybe even more of our struggles are down here and this is where his struggle mostly and or the graphic and so logical and so we know that this has to be explicitly taught our students and that we know we have to continue to grow this meeting and language at the same time we had a whole pretty lamp for each part of this which could be something we share in a different time but this is how I resources so we definitely don't just take the pain so in front of you is actually our second grade literacy block I don't know if you remember this or any be there in education back in the day when I first started teaching videos what was called a reading baseball and that really they still had all the things it had to work for phone logical awareness for spelling for comprehension and if you were ever a teacher to talk to Basel you hate and so you wanted to get rid of it but we're really excited about is that we have worked very hard at peace and Elementary so when you ask what does it mean to be assigned to bring School what's in front of you is what it means so we taking every one of those Five Pillars from The Bachelorette panel in 2003 by Dennis I'd the resources that go with that based on the research of how the brain learns to read every one of our grade levels has the, consistent literacy the circus a long time to build is ever-changing if we learn something new we're updating it and it might look a little different in third grade their literacy box will look different but no matter what s you're in and this cool this is the literacy boxes follow which is probably guarantee Bible curriculum and everybody did their own thing so it was really based on what room you were in what what you hire Lane during so this is that piece that I wanted to talk to you and you can keep going Miss Becky so think about his learning to ride a bike seat cushion for me okay so this is kind of like her for we have the vocabulary we have the phonics we have the fluency in all of it works together so despite all of his works together to develop fluency and then your muscle memory changes right and yes or no but then you eventually just do that or trying to do with reading and writing you get to the place where it's just and then ultimately the last piece I wanted to share with you it's how will we be a science of reading models for so our goal would be that 100% of our teachers are using evidence-based instruction and anytime you will you be able to walk down the hall and a teacher would be confident and evil with appropriate materials and resources to do the right work our Focus here husband degrees here when you hear people take or instruction that means or they might call at Universal instruction that means everybody gets so if I'm a suspect in my whole class is going to receive or instruction let me know there are two other size of a diamond because it need a little more and the kids anymore extension if we want to get to there but we first have to be in the 80% here oh actually we have Mr Adams doing a lot of work are we have great specials some teachers and illiteracy leaders and brain specialist working here and we will address these things and we are updating our program but our time and PD is sent I'm at Central party to the teachers are working together separating practicing how to get routines more efficient and this is where we'll be I will share right now PC is at 67% of the assessment would be I could break it down for you he asked me on a different time but it's over all the resource and Monroe is it 58% we need to be at 80 I hear a lot of time while those scores are impossible I will tell you I have worked other districts they're not when I was in Ankeny District we were working to get 295 100 across all the full when I was an appellate District we were working on the other side we've got to get there we have to get to the place where we can have our corn accident at 80% everything everything I'm very excited about that but that is our goal is to instruction a processor is the 80% of our students are more effective as a reading and reading and writing so you think about why am I here why are teachers Play We ask you all these things why is it important that we collaborate this is our goal this is what I was hired to do I think a lot of people can talk about lunch menus and jackets and buses on my job I was hired to do to do action so I think truly something I really think about is in my inbox or what you're hoping for and our teachers are doing a really great job with this work and they are so so excited I will teachers are willing to work on Saturday like we do on Saturday after school because they never felt confident before and we have teachers taking off in learning more about it than I'll ever know and that she'll ever know because they're setting it if you want know about how practice is Jane have a 5-minute conversation with Angie Landry she literally will cry at how hard it was before and how confident she feels today and she's been doing this for like 40 years so in summary this is where we're at this is what we want to become a model school for because ultimately it helps get the more students that we can support more just that we can support the more kids that are supported and that's why we're here and so sometimes I think it may feel like we get a little passionate I'm over here for kids and just as you are maybe making decisions your budgets are Community people or money we're making about to go to Doug's to get his face yes yes exactly. So when we do our assessment we spotted a screening and then we diagnose and see a little more what they need and then those are your different that's all what I need for the time so can put teachers together sometimes one raid level where we can put the teachers together sometimes it might be too big for her because the research is very clear that that which is one of the reasons that I will tell you is very frustrating that they can't get their support here so being able to work together in clusters our students is really about the best way we know to do that now with the resources that we have but we have a good good here students that need some more but we definitely we definitely are struggling here and then when you pour every single thing what do you think happens here is don't make ears grow so every kid deserves to make ears got so if you come in if you come into 5th grade and you're already here you need to make a year ago we can't just teach you at the score instruction and then O Brady Bunch of Benchmark this year we should be making here's broke this year because if your child's one that comes into 5th grade and they're already know they need to make sure but that's hard to do and there's a lot of complexity that goes into it and that's why we're continuing to go dark or with hope that there can be a day where we can step away from that because it's just a practice is that bike we're just blowing with it and we know what we're doing and we are seeing I will say it right now is very hard and argh 345 because that Foundation wasn't late but we are seeing her kindergarten first grade second grade much better and ready and on. That was my question. That's why the kindred's are hundred percent right Journey with you look at Monroe's 58% we have to remember and there is about 0 proficient is typically the number they're just not ready yet and this is Gilbert is a master teacher and she prepares them very well to going to kindergarten homework you got the model school I apologize redundant are butt add a maintenance beginning down that path for to get a path of 17 schools in the same place a lot longer than it does to get to we're really lucky because we had you know a small or small or not so that's why we're able to move faster so every school district is starting this work sorry for their loss and the others I would see were very unique and all of our teachers have the resources and materials to do the work we were able to there was a collective group I was able to go to the Iowa reading research and we were all going away by how much further we are there was some districts were adding still wanted to go out as literacy willing to make the change he didn't want to buy a lot of Technical Training as you can get as far as I was knowledge around like phonics and reading instruction and it's time-consuming it's going to require a lot of us doing work on our own and it isn't there I know we don't know how to do that differently but they're excited about the work kids to do at home just re-read or be read to to get that fluency yet so we're trying really really hard and then hopefully they a smartass presentation because we looked at open campus and this is going to go to the high school and we're going to try this year and it's a great success show you how we use Smart pass in the in the middle school so go through just a few things here and wants to make sure the Quakers working you could go for that. Are you there yeah yeah so what about four things and I hope this is I hope you guys can get a real clear picture what smartpath is it it's not really complicated but I want to make sure that I had on some of those important parts so what is smartpath what can it do for us how does it work with the actual you know when a student needs to use a pass on to work and then how is it associated with student safety because that's what it really all comes down to and I actually I could tell you something amazing to happen today I came back over to Prairie City for my training that we had here and somebody walked in the building and there were sobbing that. What is going on and it was a student that I had up at Nashua Plainfield who actually had attempted suicide and we me and art teacher at the time we we knew something was wrong and so we called parents and we found out where she was and what she had done she had driven her car trying to drive her car into a tree I'm off the side of the road and so we drove by looking for her that day and then I told that story I mean we found her and she was okay we got her medical help but I told that story at the beginning of the year because if we had something like smartpath we would have no right away where that girl was so that was a smartass today what is Smart pass so basically what it is is the 21st century way to get around the building right I remember when I was in school we had to fill out and paper pass on the pay slips and carry those with you and then you go to the bathroom and use the restroom and you don't wash your hands and you come back and you put the paper on the teacher's desk and go ahead and what it is it's basically in the same way that when you go to concert you got pick up on your phone and you just stand on that way that's exactly what it is that's what you're looking at Salt digital rooms in our building on there I put those are billed at all at the beginning of the year and it's got every single student in their first and last name in a little student the associated with him and there's a feature called Hall Monitor which is just a little tab that you can click and see who's in the hallway and where they're at where they're going and where they're coming from when I'm walking down the hallway I'll pull my phone out if I see a what my whole pair my smart Pass App and say I do not see you on here where are you going or I can say where you can get back from Jeremy all right we passed the check it's pretty is a pretty slick little system computer a mobile standpoint do extra features we don't need to have 28 students in the hallway at a time because during life is supposed to be in class so we can say alright we're going to six people be in the hallway to timer for people be in the hallway at a time it was an issue probably last year at the middle school was that your wife has just everywhere all over the place what time is like wow that's probably not what we want so that's a really really nice right now we've got to be in the hallway at a time I think we started with four but then band lessons there are three students have been messing Sonos 3 reused up only one person could use the restroom go to the bank and get a drink at the one-time so into a fight and attack and heart beat me in the bathroom for power right after the bell rings I can go in the hall pass and I can say Jeremy Swank Chris and Susan and I put them in a group and when they try and make a pass to leave class it'll say it doesn't say your name, and your group it just says nope always are. Sorry and also compiles pack and so I have every single pass has been used back from August when we start this year 23rd maybe so if something were to come up back from August to September I've got that in there I can go well it shows that they were at 11 they were going from the band room over to the cafeteria so and and that leads into the student safety as well right or something would come up now we've got data from back then how does it work student initiated There's No Interruption to class right now used to be you get up you would have told on his Russian sure the teacher is done that's it that's all I had to do student goes in they find their name to find where they want to go they click Start past and they turn their computer around and I'll show you how that works as and they're off and they're timer starts counting down we can also set the amount of time it seems to be gone so they're going to get a drink if I can use the restroom to get 4 minutes I've had too many issues yet they ask they go there's a time of running and then the past and when I get back I'm back in the quick and fast just like that all the teacher had to do is say yes or no and there's also the past it's impossible to talk about is also something called kiosk mode because in gym a lot of times and a lot of times they have their computers and then I'm going to go into their bags to get the computer show me Donna specially Bantu is when I bought a couple old tablets and we just post them on the wall and so it's like a little check out kiosk that they usually don't have to have your computer so lots of functionality there to make it fit whatever class you and then last house that associated with student safety I'm sure this is pretty self-explanatory for you but that Hall Monitor I can flip over that Tab and see who's were who is where if I see someone like I talked about I can see you need to be over here or get but back to class also we've got all of that data going back and then also in the situation you don't have a bed that we have an active shooter situation like they hadn't Perry if all the sudden we don't know where a student is or we need to look and say your Mister swag is in the restroom right now that somebody come in with a Ian we know where we need to get we know where kids are at all times and and similarly to the to the story that I shared the beginning we didn't know where that suit was let me know soon enough not in the building that's a pretty pretty good place piece of data to start but I want to show you real quick what it looks like I want to work here at all but if I go to the teacher View and see if anybody got in the way right now is going to the cafeteria in the restroom broom and I can see that the red that means our overtime so I can say alright demo student to why are you still in the hallway you are two minutes overtime get your butt back to class they might have a good excuse but a man when I get back to class B and pass game over and that throws it back into after all that and then we can also stay in here I'm not going to take it to their some reports in there but if your teacher sees someone that's out in the hallway when they're not on Smart Pad that can click report submission I go in there and I seen I need the Ryan because somebody submitted that he was in the cafeteria when he was supposed to be in science class for the water fountain to see my buddy out I'm talking to you long so you have to go get them on your overtime or else I'd never overtime when they were out at the Drake Pusheen walks out the door okay they didn't make a pass we had no no teacher knows where they're at I'm going to get on the camera right away and I'm going to look through their brain to find them and they were going to track them down yeah and that kind of limits is Susan are you going to be coming in where she will scan kids in and out what's my it would not they would I would imagine the belt lump it together but when I looked at it and I purchase it you got it Under Armour the rest of this year and all of next year just for what he's talking about $1,700 net worth of this year are smart passive we got was 88960 we paid park pass for the year reasonably good deal any questions or think of any later and shoot me an e-mail do you think I'm actually no make it easier to follow up and deliver consequences the beginning of the year and we haven't had any in the last couple months so yeah the other at a particular time osmo Columbia Massachusetts 1700 list that's on it are pretty much free that's just that's just what he talked about what I told him and then I'll talk about the ID card I've been out all right thank you open campus London trial open campus for next school year 2425 rings to die how would we know when they come back we have it down as a trial because we just want to see how it goes really earned constituent correspondence our lunch. and we don't receive complaints from the community about it I can't have this thing where they have to have an attendance right which this would be a great incentive right I'm having my parents complain and say no I don't want my so you know I think I think we'll see how it goes and that is how we will be in a little traffic won't be able to will be able to put a bath on the students better give a permission to go and then if the student student starts to fall behind in their coursework starts at 7 will that be subjective I mean I mean I think with just about everything that we you know a lot of things is Administration has the final right to the pole Candice cut off this is what I'm going to do with all the Bible which is why I think visualizing and it is stated in here that they have to leave they can't just go like hang out in their car in the parking lot and they have to leave school property so they have to leave school property why are that are leaving property group of people going to say we don't have a McDonald's in the name I just had a meeting with a parent she she says that she's very much looking forward to this next year because this will be a chance to her daughter to just have a mental break and she can drive off campus you know she she gets overwhelmed by the today she has a chance to just go right and so does Mom that I'm out with glasses was very thankful that the stuff we were going to be trying this so we'll see I think it'll be really good for some students from students chance for us to see you know there are only pencil Beautyrest and take advantage of it I mean basketball my students are Juniors and seniors may be 80% of 80% seniors who qualify order Subway sandwich on your phone you guys already do unlock my phone. are we ever talked about extending lunch I'm going to need a taco but I need pretty progress on academic time so 25 minutes is about all that were able to give up after taking and I feel really strongly about when and so I would know I don't they had a hard time no one you know I'm finishing things that at first be more responsible the attendance thing in the things that we have to do to get that even just with a lot of students work harder so they get that pay home and haven't even stupid friend drama thing I don't want to go sit at lunch I just need a break I want to go pet my cat for 5 minutes and you also baby that it is like to drive her car and so the ones that I have seen you I think definitely if you get into the more metro area you can see more and more schools that are going to sleep if you could drive we're not really anywhere anything where I would feel super comfortable and I do I do think that this is a way to incentivize our number students so that's why I would like to see gravity during the school and driving and then coming back does a parent have to sign every student is going to like a thing if you read through it it's the terms and conditions are clearly outline and it doesn't matter what they have for the next. Like that at all Alyssa is going to be fun because now they're all going to want all the Juniors and seniors are going to want to schedule their study called before would you have to pay for care of using watch count like elementary school so okay so we'll be probably guessing every day until after a while we can do that or is that not an option do you still have to put it in Infinite Campus the number of kids that have cancer yeah buddy we're not I can see this being a lot more powerful than the phone as for proving mobile camouflage a little favor say hi now open campus for junior okay same idea of this again now we're preparing our students for life money railroad experiences with the same idea but this is going to be for students who have an off translation form that is signed by parents they have to be involved in a work based learning placement which already we have almost probably over 30 students for next year that are that are fine. They have to be enrolled in an online course Susie Mack or another College study hall or have a paid job that does not interfere with other course we're going to have that time that time in their schedule so this allows our students to leave to go do on I'm glad there's nothing to talk about how she was able to go she can do her work at home kind of and just kind of give them voice and how they how and where they do their their name we will have to look at eligibility frequently again on this and so it's going to work exactly the same they're going to have ID card with the Dodgers on it or restriction and they can spend to go in and out again, they can't visit and if they're in a workplace learning business they have to go directly there so just for juniors and seniors put on this one rod for you and then Australian dollars worth all right to the Scion Steven eligibility so they might be they don't have to check back in at the end of the day we already just so everybody knows we do offer in our seniors have a period study hall things mention this we already do I'll offer for those that students are not allowed to leave hey. If they fall behind in their work things like that I just we just don't want to play now and again there's a on here same waiver of liability if it's a work if you want to add I think I presented that handle to you guys in a while back there's a waiver of liability in there as well naked uses their extended lunch Mister Michael is going to hate me for saying that but yes on either side of the one who put the problem is they would have to have first or last lunch right it doesn't work if you have a second or third lunch trying to schedule their study hall during the flower. do we require and Reporting back then Colton I'm always so cold that way and periodically with them actually just we just entered into an agreement with a group that is going to offer a workplace apprenticeship for students that are interested in audio-visual and so students that are interested in that sort of the company is going to start offering friendships as well as about as a whole nother category I think it's great it will be a hard lesson to learn for some and it'll be great brothers and we'll just have to read 116 Hobart in the parents can we go with 2 me and coupons 2425 District calendar correction was a calendar with full professional development days and board that right now there is supposed legislation let me allow us to start a bit earlier after the state fair so should that pass we may come back and revise this challenge you're in middle school high school high school started let me something right now it's not an option we're stuck on the 23rd I don't see anything in there about a parent-teacher conference trip one and a half High School wanted to know that we would send out with him due to me being so we're going to we're going to set that up so we've designated 8 hours of time for a change schedule I see what it is comp time for fall one of these days our schedule so happy January February did not move because January is it Martin Luther King Day and in April that's listed as a snow day if you look up under the snow days. I'm not trying to be like a Debbie Downer but likely we will be in school I like DanTDM my belief that would be something different listen Shannon but the parents wanted more time for conferences that would be something that they would work with their teacher sometime and they would obviously get that out and get that set up a time the other part is that this is when I visit with miss Ann Keating the date that we currently have conferences but for one night so we are I mean parents you need a separate time they're going to meet with a teacher's at a different time a teacher's but we can always ask if you would like. Middle School parent-teacher conference teachers had at least eight to 12 conferences tonight and I'm not sure about that Tops on 242 do you want your child stuff online I want to return to that go are we used to do it soon for out 2 days and it was two evenings and how we do it now students are four days but we only get one evening I was thinking that I'm out of school to I mean I know it's more cop time but that was one day each semester where is how were the one evening there was to start out more and I don't think that daytime I know we can set up a want is getting you how much leeway with giving you have to do to remove them temperature for Pine Ridge AR maybe you're on Primus YouTube that mean you guys were having a good time or what do I do let me know now cuz there's kind of a lot of things there's a gap so they would do all that I can give it out for it to you earlier one, or two probably earlier in the year and then go to work real men hey I think so I had a really honest Lewis your parents reaching out then you though are teachers call parents if their students are receiving like just replace and I'm taking the time to do that and be more which end is not wait until conferences we could encourage teachers we still need to start earlier not an option right now is a little bit to start on a Friday too but if start a whole starter starting on Wednesday the first couple days so that would be start fire stick so no way would we ever be able to start it's not even on right now I want to thank you know not that I would ever whatever you thought we could consider did your favorite contact you later will find that out according to board meeting eventually I don't know. I don't know for sure table this for now tomorrow hardly any teachers tonight in motion to table preventing B Rickman see movie. not too late is a calendar in April what is the temp like I mean OK Google when is Connecticut maybe we sent out the request in Wilkesboro awesome so you'll see attached should be listed anime should be minutes Hunter meeting I'm having taxes separately this right so you're going to have to refresh your page just pulled out for your engine I make a motion with no motion all right baseball field lines copy of something 220000 so and then installation must even out and got a couple bids and why don't we have to get out the mud gold material in a competitive price for no big is required if we were to go out and want to bid for material we would have to get an architect we would have to post on so therefore that's why you don't see me the materials we do need to replace the pole the warranty is 25 years which most companies offer that we talked about this at the facility we have two bids for the installation I've highlighted you'll see on your simply but for building not as I can read the projected cost for the baseball field update since the day we have spent $150,000 on the field $40,000 42 dugg out and our lights the total package with each other $91,242 we are also putting a new scoreboard up there things that cost will come back to us advertisements and products are still needing to be updated is the handicap accessibility show me where the bleachers are not handicapped accessible he doesn't want to work Banner Finance facility we have money in our account and save money and still put us into position right now including the project keep an eye out and get that down I think we talked about 500,000 Friday as well as I do it's a lot of money for lights but we go are you out of the ones that were there they were I think they were borrowed from the football field football field four years ago that that's a someone we know we love you seems like a shame if we don't take this next step but I do wrong and we don't have any projects that I'm aware of that we are saving for something bigger he said it would be done by the season starting I make a motion to approve Finance it just seems like an awful lot of money to be spending on all of these while you're up around 6 of their down the hole now but I'll get it done where to buy with the lights then whatever. I would like to see what are investment is first movement that using the people are involved in baseball at cetera as I would like to be sure that we're not spending a million-dollar person on Athletics and $20 per person on I'd like to see this moment but I will  in the morning I will go later the motion second to the baseball field lights a little favors ad Greyhound removable tray City football field bleachers in Burlington not intended and they are also not and so we just open storage or something red bird Mall directions then the track I don't stop bagging something is down or probably will yet I have I wouldn't waste my time did you have a timeline and warn you of wanting to neuter I would love to do that but and then she'll yours but I don't all depends on if somebody by Bleachers. I'm sorry but the other part of the deal I'll make a motion to approve the removal of a football field bleachers bed bugs campus is it real so we have three sections there already three sections of our for our at 3 City now some of the lower grades kindergarten first and second I mean is a plan to have four sections like we have an hour or back down to 3 as well I could give you those numbers we are we have like seven years ago a board approved last list recommendation where we would stay to stay in Canada in a major numbers we can't afford that right now we're looking at class sizes around the first one and two or 1890 3rd graders do for us cuz we have size if we wanted to have dissections for a year of 4th grade that's something to look at that a certain number of sections we look at how many kids which one of the factor when determining class 5 it's not just the number to have a pocket of cheese that are struggling with meeting that we are goal is to get the drugs that we use to the side but how stay within the rain but there are two K12 yeah whatever you going to be around 20 students we're not we're not losing teachers we have teachers leaving summer new teachers will not be staying so we will actually that's when we say we're not going to have to make that will probably go down in Greece sections that we have some people that we are signing this is not open yet for something we know I don't speak for anybody else but I would like to Orscheln some more. news about it I want to make sure Brian and I'm not necessarily opposed or four I just think that a person needs more time to look at and I think we should we really here either the oars and again in plain language, like the parents people out there and don't lie Diane Mills bored and stated they were in favor of freedom so that every year we did we're not Wilson I just want to make sure we're clear cuz we were out of the other standing and this could have been just could have been clear that we need to come back and get our understanding was aboard with committed to alignment and working through that process as space is available and it's really a nice all results from her kids right so this logically we just need to know that direction I sent it to you on to be understanding as we said during the work session that was communicated to us that the board in the paper of grade alignment and moving forward through that I'm not concerned that the preschoolers getting split up you got concerned about that I think we need to sit down and figure out if I need to move something closer to moving that sooner than later and we would have to speak on the next board I think if we can't go to no mentary school or middle school next year you know it's got to be at work in progress as it goes but I know we talked about it actually is going to be hot on Facebook where they reach Facebook I would like to sit down a minute. See what that looks like the problems that would cause I know we have concerns about music teachers are teachers celebrating resources butter chicken together quickly. Seems like a viable option so I would like to look into that for you make this decision here tonight because we could make some smooth for next year I don't know if that's something or work together towards mycricketlive you over the weekend. are some of the lower grades so I for one appreciate all the hard work and I get to good Vision like that's where we need to go for kids the question would be why wouldn't we try wine all the grades with with the long-term vision of following what was presented to the long-term Vision was to be together in the long run they would be fine with an insurance plan you just for the week but at least nobody really wants to have Katie to do a lot older kids in school that's a lot of even see that so I think it's teachers knew there was some long-term hope for that solution would be different one of our biggest problem is that a lot of the community doesn't understand or ethical meetings about I hear what we want but I know just myself before I had my two word with Rusty and he kind of gave me all the ins and outs and like this is why the flood were here is the benefits our kids will get from them and I mean from that to act as if you were work it would make a huge difference to me for me to see all of that and her me to understand all that, things were a lot different and I wish I just wish there was a way for us to get all of that information you kind of put it out there because I think he had a lot left maybe that's not true but I feel like you know. running now mostly just see if we know we were having to move everybody it would be obviously a long time to think about it this is going to be going to be what time does legacy where is a little cell sooner than later is that I know it makes a difference sign like that passion of our what's our plan for 7th May and then kind of backtrack a little right now as far as making a commitment for the rest of the board I mean I mean we're like two pics prom today, making my decision we're not going to be real acting so that would prove a point that way but I think with the scores and you know understanding what they're doing I think we need to do something sooner than we are to try to go for a bond it's going to be several years you get that done when I'm fixing you soon sweetie I'm right now I hear the busing issue to I mean I understand that my little kids too you know why our district is huge on how many miles is it across our district meaning of person who travels with me and it's a long ways from your name for the southwest corner of our district go to the other side of reason there's a long ways to go and there's not a I mean I'd like to see where it passes go we're still dwindling our numbers or if we're going to start coming up on numbers I've been trying to fool a lot of people and it seems like a PCM goes up and down and waves forever. I don't know if you do I know you just graduated graduate 60 kids also in his class graduate two years ago number to go we're going to and I don't know how we can get that number like there's no my class I don't know if we ever broke a hundred here and they don't know so I think that's something we need to look at cuz we can have a free schoolers come here next year and we got to figure out how to make room for them to and if we're making these moves we can't go backwards you know we can't do 3rd grade back in 3 years if you don't have everything done so I mean I don't know how we call the parents or forget it out there that this is what's what we're looking at I don't want to lose students either I mean Southeast Polk Elementary in Reynolds Elementary is not far from the west side of our district is not very far from Define the word history good people here cuz I'm good at school but I think I hide I do think we need to spend some more time on that you know that a lot of parents are probably not listening to me I think we need to really look into Sparta how soon we want to make this happen how soon we want to kick this down the road and we could all be gone and for years and you haven't done it haven't had a bond past yet either and we can do anything we try right now can we change so also a lot of them are there in the impression that we're good right but I think that wouldn't be grandma very many again a line breaks you know the most part yeah it's a PCM kids together right what is the gray area where we put everybody you know how we do it best for the students how he doing how do we do you know why is one town I was getting bust in the other town getting box not getting bucks do you know what are you doing to support afterwards what are we you know but as far as the alignment you know you know where we go from here I want to question about movies people lives with the express intention to bring it back to discuss at the next board meeting in Bryan and you can set up to question the answer clients with specific people that would give me an answer or in the meantime but obviously we had one question and we've been here I want them I don't know we can but I don't want to be the end all day too. opportunity the middle rain and high school but we also need to address and you guys said it's very positive things about my are we just push it through just to make sure happens in a way either build trust with the community and come get us moving forward to potentially doing the bond so if we do about some of the problems we're seeing some of our Graves I guess I just think that that's going to be a difficult sell going forward with the long-term Vision that night I don't want them there's a good Vivid by did I just concerned if we don't think about some of the other grades and jumping everything is going to be a hard sell I know I'm personally not against doing something temporary but you don't get things going I don't want to make sure that we're not doing embroidery that all backwards and we would end up spending more money to get my arrival I think right now for the teachers and the other ones are going to be here that you no longer need to see this but we think about that I think it's they knew that there was still a vision of coming together at one point that would be just want to know what the end in mind is so what you're wanting from us is just for us to say rhyme word for that yes we realized that the elementary teacher School are to be together and have our preschoolers with her with her older kids it's just we know that that's what we want and I think those things would be I think many of the teachers would be fine I just don't want to lose sight of the vision he worked really hard for it and you start are not ready to give up and I think I'm through twice for third grade whether it's case you or 35 so that wasn't the end it was just kidding. Just whether you did take you 35 third grade was going right so your mom my guess is the recommendation is one section of 20 kids know that her back no matter if it's the case or is that a 6.2 alignment that was always so it isn't like we're shifting Kinder here now and we're not forgetting about those absolutely this was just the one thing we were ready to begin the planning right moving all the praise that one time starts at a time when we can when we have started that we can house them behind and whether it's chase you here or 3 that would be the next approving this not that it doesn't mean so we can look at the other pieces a rift in the community that I think we need to solve that is if you want to do things in the future they're the ones that hold my life and this would seem to me that if we need to do a much better job of communicating whatever we decided the third grade any grave of the reasoning behind it and wise choices were made that were made and let's let the people know and if we can do that. I haven't changed to what what's left here then we take her grade on here we that really just a handful of teachers left here that is so depressing to me as a teacher would I would feel like your left ear and right or wrong with public perception is at Monroe Elementary has Kenny got left out of everything that is kind of been shoved aside student staff and I don't like that feeling or PC atom gorgeous by Taylor building and taking more kids and staff out of here and leaving who's here I just don't think it's fair to them either that is absolutely sure you know you can get them all of them if you do not bring that and what it but not teaching through teaching called during the gentlemen's prefer but we got to have space for the dictionary alignment Workshop or we can talk with administrators and how 2 take away what he actually said was a motion to table the lineup a great surprise I need for the 2425 school year and for you to set up meetings to discuss so it's in the motion for you to set up we have a we have our own as we need to vote before you who has the calendar well and then the next time that we would have a regular schedule for Senate session being spring break you don't have to have a work so do you want me to do what's the bed so anybody can give me questions. I want to know so they can be prepared their correspondence reach out to your board members for their time it would be helpful if people ask direct questions rather than putting on social media have you can share those questions they ask you guys with us cuz it's probably the same we stopped to know that they're there by waiting for love play Mars let's get me questions about how long do you guys need to answer questions not that long Yeah by March mourning board members by marshmallow questions they need to reach out to board members for administration you are entitled to work session will it be given the title it's best way to do. Waiting for Billings me Belton you got a plan shall send them back in okay yes Jetro investment program take me to invest their money with minimal risk the board passed a resolution and the word has so we'd like to get your attention Information Services Ryan Hugh and I will be on the account activity Tanya and Becky will be actually moving so I have a question of how do you know how much who makes a determination of how much money we put in there what is the newest Tanya saying a man invests $100,000 a day and go back out tomorrow or remember I have any time so 24-hours notice Google told me I can only spend $15,000 whatever an emergency or something that's alright I will keep that much in there but we're not going to getting the account after they've had it right so what would it look like little different than we got in trouble for how we are moving funding around erase program Accra Ghana so we get reimbursement from that and so Tyler and said we need some new switches story right total is 17200 we will receive about $10,000 back so that would messages information for you by the way this time you mean okay if anything else out there we aren't baseball and softball scoreboard purchase how much money towards the project open next to me the full amount they are Anatole prices $63,160 the breakdown that he has Pat Sajak is nice Google Lompoc Record attach the fuel bids but I'm going to read to you what he said I search for 3 fuel bit and only received two back came back from Two Rivers Co-op out of both your bills are actually quite close Christ you read the details and you can see that they are just a few cents a week which would make sense because they buy from the same line and then transfer then transfer to Rivers have been supplying a steel bar number of years and no how much we use everyday so their database on gal whether we use them or not we've been doing this for quite some time and we will always use all of the contract that would be I have been told by both companies that is now is the time to lodging prices if you look back at last year did we are paying more for fuel now so at least this year it has gone down, I asked why why not locking four more years we have been going every year just hope we can lock in the best price if you'll drop drastically then we be locked in at a higher price and we wouldn't be able to get a lower price until the contract is due I am recommending that the bid gets awarded to Two Rivers Co-op out of Monroe and recently put in brand new tape of course we've had problems with of course we have problems with either running low on fuel or, Chris and all I have he would make one phone call and they're usually at the bus barn to resolve the issue within 30 minutes most of the time it's sooner than that it makes much sense it makes it much easier and even if two rivers Co-op Houston tire is my mind in my mind to know they're going to be there to help no matter what sorry I can't be there
