54
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:25.860
Chelsea King: Many of those folks were there in person and likely would have stood up and hopefully the board members didn't get a chance to.

58
00:06:54.810 --> 00:07:09.630
Chelsea King: And, but one of the things that we do as board members our board reports and i'll just say kind of what we typically do, and then we can have a little bit of a discussion about board reports in general and see you know.

59
00:07:10.890 --> 00:07:19.770
Chelsea King: If you have a board report, you can give it if you'd like to ask about the purpose of board reports or talk about board reports in general, we can certainly do that as well.

60
00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:30.390
Chelsea King: But typically in board reports and historically anyways port numbers have given an account of different activities they've been involved in.

61
00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:41.820
Chelsea King: School States toward or trainings they've attended conversations that they've had you know with district leaders those types of things, so I know.

62
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:54.630
Chelsea King: Vice chair Thompson mentioned to me that she does have a report I don't have a traditional report this evening, other than to just say let's talk about board reports and so.

63
00:07:55.110 --> 00:08:10.140
Chelsea King: i'd like to hand the floor over to Vice chair Thompson and hear her board report and then we can just go by board member by board member and just here, if you have something you want to report about what he's been up to the past month great if you'd like to.

64
00:08:11.250 --> 00:08:21.960
Chelsea King: You know, make a recommendation, about how we handle Ward reports moving forward and let's hear that as well, so how does that sound I share Thompson alright.

65
00:08:23.220 --> 00:08:35.160
Christy Thompson: See you yeah so for my board report, and let me just put it out there, my I have a pig in the room, with me so if you hear weird noises it's not me it's the pig is.

66
00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:43.320
Christy Thompson: right behind me if you in case you hear okay um so I attended the long range planning committee meeting.

67
00:08:43.710 --> 00:08:53.220
Christy Thompson: A couple weeks ago and got to hear about just all the updates and and it was just great to sit there with our long range planning committee members, I will not be the liaison.

68
00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.950
Christy Thompson: Our new member of director, why it will be that she was unable to make it that night, so I had the opportunity to go and I was happy to do that and.

69
00:09:02.610 --> 00:09:13.920
Christy Thompson: Then I also attended osb as I attended a couple Oregon school board oh that's what octa stands for, for our public of their events and one was a leadership workshop that they put on.

70
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:36.150
Christy Thompson: For board leaders and and for those in administration and then also, and this has Tuesday night they had a Back to School guidance, update and just with Colt Gil and I believe it's Dr Dean sidling hers at that if I did I pronounce his name correctly just giving us updates on.

71
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.210
Christy Thompson: Where the numbers are and.

72
00:09:40.410 --> 00:09:50.370
Christy Thompson: Just guidance for school board members as we walk through this season, and I also had the opportunity to attend representative Rachel precepts town hall.

73
00:09:51.870 --> 00:10:00.570
Christy Thompson: A couple tuesday's ago and just hear kind of what's going on in house district 37 and things that she's working on and then.

74
00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:18.300
Christy Thompson: One last thing that I did was meet with Nancy Wilson, who is working she's a member of our audit team that's working on our district audit and just had a chance to talk with her about my experience as a board member and with the fiscal.

75
00:10:20.670 --> 00:10:22.920
Christy Thompson: Just fiscal concerns and i'm.

76
00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:40.830
Christy Thompson: not getting the word but anyway to talk about my history and with the board in the last two years in regards to budgeting and auditing and so anyway um yeah so there's my.

77
00:10:41.970 --> 00:10:48.600
Christy Thompson: there's the things that i've been working on and then also meeting with director king and putting together the board retreat that we had.

78
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.840
Christy Thompson: A couple weeks ago just really making an important to onboard our new members correctly and making sure that.

79
00:10:55.470 --> 00:11:06.060
Christy Thompson: We give them the tools and the knowledge and and and not tell them everything but help them know where to go for answers and where you know where to find those answers, whether it's in policies or.

80
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:12.390
Christy Thompson: Different district administrators to go to and just hopefully to give them the tools to.

81
00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:31.200
Christy Thompson: Start running right out of their new position and then also talking about just the importance of bonding so that we can have a good function on board going forward which we've i've always felt really privileged that our board is one of those boards that we disagree well.

82
00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:34.740
Christy Thompson: And we can come in with our different opinions but.

83
00:11:35.910 --> 00:11:48.150
Christy Thompson: But, but have a good talks through those, and so I think that's something that we just kind of accomplished in our board retreat as well with setting that groundwork and building those relationships with the new board members.

84
00:11:52.290 --> 00:11:52.740
Chelsea King: All right.

85
00:11:54.900 --> 00:11:59.730
Chelsea King: Thank you so much, and then i'm not seeing on my screen but it's director Wyatt with us.

86
00:12:00.990 --> 00:12:01.170
Chelsea King: yep.

87
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.640
Louis Taylor: she's here she's down below.

88
00:12:03.210 --> 00:12:05.220
Kirsten Wyatt: And she okay hi there.

89
00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:07.140
Chelsea King: hi would you like to go next.

90
00:12:07.290 --> 00:12:13.800
Kirsten Wyatt: Sure, thank you, so I have a chance to attend the Oregon school board association.

91
00:12:15.420 --> 00:12:23.490
Kirsten Wyatt: Training session for new school board members and kind of one major takeaway from that that training for new school board members was.

92
00:12:23.790 --> 00:12:33.840
Kirsten Wyatt: The opportunity to jump into information sharing rooms with other school districts of similar size to Westland Wilson belt, and so it was a really great reminder that.

93
00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:41.760
Kirsten Wyatt: You know the work that we are doing, on behalf of our students here, and you know isn't unique to just our district there folks that are working.

94
00:12:42.180 --> 00:12:50.790
Kirsten Wyatt: On issues across the state and so being able to kind of right out of the gate build relationships and get to know folks and other districts was really nice and really helpful.

95
00:12:51.540 --> 00:13:05.310
Kirsten Wyatt: And a great way to also learn about all the services and offerings from SBA and then also attended one day training on how to best listen to student voices and incorporate student voices into.

96
00:13:05.880 --> 00:13:17.100
Kirsten Wyatt: School board i'm thinking and decision making, and it was really inspired by some of the examples from districts around the state and then some of the nonprofit organizations that seek to empower students.

97
00:13:17.850 --> 00:13:30.480
Kirsten Wyatt: And so that really had it started me thinking about and I had a chance to talk with chair King about those How do we make this time, when the boys were puts out what they're learning and what we're experiencing.

98
00:13:30.990 --> 00:13:39.120
Kirsten Wyatt: really meaningful and so we really indicate to the Community, and especially our students on that we're working for them, and that we're listening to them.

99
00:13:39.660 --> 00:13:47.880
Kirsten Wyatt: And I don't have you know, a magic solution or way that we format these word reports, so it does that, but something i'd like us to continue.

100
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:59.400
Kirsten Wyatt: Working on and thinking about on so everyone in our district students and parents and our staff know that this is a place where we listen to feedback we listen to ideas.

101
00:14:00.330 --> 00:14:07.410
Kirsten Wyatt: And so it just was really you know empowered and felt like that was a really great session for the school board association to offer.

102
00:14:07.890 --> 00:14:24.390
Kirsten Wyatt: And in particular was really taken with some of the efforts from the tiger 12 school district, and how they've evolved their students in their discussions so overall just you know, want to thank the district for providing us with some great training and really felt inspired and colors.

103
00:14:25.530 --> 00:14:30.420
Kirsten Wyatt: To you know represent this district, and especially you know, make sure we represent the best interest of our students.

104
00:14:31.380 --> 00:14:47.640
Kirsten Wyatt: So chair King I apologize I don't have a solution to offer, but just wanted to kind of help us all start thinking about how we use this time to get in power voices and and make people will like they know make people know that that we're listening to what they're most concerned about.

105
00:14:50.070 --> 00:14:59.250
Chelsea King: Thank you, Director Wyatt both for updating us on some of the stuff you've worked on and also giving us an opportunity to think about how we do board reports and.

106
00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:11.370
Chelsea King: Certainly not something we're going to solve tonight, but it seems like the conversation has been launched, and one that we can return to as we create this agenda together and director Taylor.

107
00:15:12.780 --> 00:15:13.560
Louis Taylor: Can you hear me okay.

108
00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:14.430
Yes.

109
00:15:15.690 --> 00:15:26.850
Louis Taylor: I also attended the osb meeting and I have nothing addition no to add other than what these nice ladies have already talked about I had some of the same similar takeaways.

110
00:15:28.290 --> 00:15:42.960
Louis Taylor: And I learned a lot just in general in regards to where we are and what the expectations are moving forward from a health standpoint and from a safety standpoint so it's always good to expand the breath of of.

111
00:15:43.890 --> 00:15:50.160
Louis Taylor: Your own knowledge, so that you can come from a better place when you make a decision on behalf of the border, on behalf of the Community and students so.

112
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:57.630
Louis Taylor: I have nothing else to add other than I broaden the scope of what I know which is great.

113
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.290
Chelsea King: Thank you, it a role model learning and our learning Community here.

114
00:16:05.610 --> 00:16:06.540
Chelsea King: And director soup.

115
00:16:10.740 --> 00:16:14.040
Kelly Sloop: Yes, so I attended two of the.

116
00:16:15.390 --> 00:16:32.760
Kelly Sloop: Oregon school board association training sessions for new school board members and then I watched the webinar last week, along with director Thompson and Taylor with Jim green coatesville and Dr Dean and i'm.

117
00:16:33.990 --> 00:16:39.780
Kelly Sloop: just learning a lot enjoyed the retreat that was very helpful, so thank you.

118
00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:55.770
Kelly Sloop: To vice chair Thompson and you chair king and then I was thinking, rather than, say what we did, maybe, be a proactive and say coming up the calendar.

119
00:16:56.550 --> 00:17:04.080
Kelly Sloop: This is what's going on at you know meridian or the high school and that you know director sleeps going to be doing this.

120
00:17:04.470 --> 00:17:10.890
Kelly Sloop: event attending this event, this science, fair and you know, Dr Taylor is going to be attending the football game.

121
00:17:11.310 --> 00:17:26.040
Kelly Sloop: And maybe engaging the Community that way by letting them know what's coming up at some different schools what their events are and then where they could find some of us have the board, you know attending some of those events.

122
00:17:27.210 --> 00:17:29.160
Kelly Sloop: That was just denied one of my ideas.

123
00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:49.500
Chelsea King: All right, thank you, Director slopes and yeah I like that idea also and we might even find that, as we move through the evening, we naturally hear some of that stuff come up you know, and so in that vein it's a nice transition to Dr ludwick who will give her, her report.

124
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:57.570
Thank you so much, and I do have our point we'll get that up so that.

125
00:17:58.860 --> 00:18:00.630
You can see that as i'm talking.

126
00:18:07.620 --> 00:18:08.250
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So I.

127
00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:17.430
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Think I shared with you earlier, that our our theme for this year is leading with purpose and.

128
00:18:18.600 --> 00:18:22.980
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: If you to the next slide curtis we kind of landed on this theme.

129
00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:30.990
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Because we kept coming back to a number of conversations as school leaders and with teachers around.

130
00:18:31.800 --> 00:18:43.650
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Just really thinking about the intention of instruction next year, our focus for next year, how we wanted to make sure that we didn't get distracted by things that.

131
00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:51.660
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: drew us away from really spending time with our students and making sure they had an incredible experience with school next year.

132
00:18:52.710 --> 00:18:55.890
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So this idea of when normal keeps shifting or.

133
00:18:56.790 --> 00:19:05.580
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: there's a lot of things kind of tugging at our sleeve sometimes it's around when there's constant change that's when we really just scan the environment and really take hold of what's our purpose again.

134
00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:13.320
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: How are we, how do we really become intentional and make sure that we're attending to those things that are the most important.

135
00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:30.510
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And the word purpose kept coming up for us and we decided this was a good phrase for us for theme, this year, so in the next slide you'll just see a visual that I think kind of captures that that idea of when we're not sure kind of where we're looking we're home back in on our purpose.

136
00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:33.900
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So next slide shows that.

137
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:44.100
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The idea to the great leaders and organizations when we're really thinking about purpose Center that not just on ourselves, but actually on a shared goal.

138
00:19:44.490 --> 00:19:54.720
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So if our purpose is really on our students and high quality instruction and that's what we really need to make sure that our school development plans, this year, and our focus.

139
00:19:55.500 --> 00:20:02.280
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: is directed so it's not about ourselves, but on something that we can really orient ourselves and.

140
00:20:02.820 --> 00:20:11.130
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: I believe we have a very strong purpose in the next slide reiterate that, because it's our district mission, how do we create learning communities.

141
00:20:11.670 --> 00:20:19.020
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And you've talked tonight about how you're learning and modeling learning as school board members So how do we create those learning communities for the greatest thinkers.

142
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:29.970
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: very rigorous high expectations in our classrooms next year most thoughtful people who care for one another for the world, because we know our students are.

143
00:20:30.660 --> 00:20:36.240
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: going to have opportunities that extend outside of Westland outside of Wilson ville outside of Oregon.

144
00:20:37.050 --> 00:20:45.420
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: United States and global there to be global, citizens and we want to make sure they have an exceptional education that can allow them to compete.

145
00:20:46.110 --> 00:20:53.880
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And and be a part of the world in their jobs and their pursuits and whatever it is they dream for themselves.

146
00:20:54.600 --> 00:21:05.160
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So a very compelling purpose and it's this that guides us, not the personalities in the classroom or in the district office or that you bump into in a boardroom but it's the purpose of.

147
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:12.870
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Teaching and learning for our kids, and so the last slide just shows again that when you have that personal mission it's like having a compass.

148
00:21:13.140 --> 00:21:20.190
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And it really oriented towards making sure that everything we do this next year has real clear intention and purpose.

149
00:21:20.760 --> 00:21:38.280
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: On our retreat the next slide will show you that we spent time on a leadership retreat two days thinking about three areas, how do we lead with purpose around Community for our students rebuilding care connection and Community We actually had that phrase that we kind of.

150
00:21:40.290 --> 00:21:48.930
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: took apart and then put back together around ways that we can create care connection and community and have real focus on that this year for our students.

151
00:21:49.350 --> 00:21:55.920
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We came back to recommitting to our big rocks of teaching and learning what are those areas that we're really focusing on and you'll hear a lot more about that.

152
00:21:57.630 --> 00:22:02.550
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: In my message to the staff, the kickoff message for the year as well as throughout the year.

153
00:22:03.060 --> 00:22:20.340
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then again leading with purpose around our relationships that if we're going to have a culture that's inclusive that has a race equity Center then it's really about making sure that we we maintain relationships it's very easy for the rhetoric to pull us apart and define the difference.

154
00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:35.520
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Or the argument, but really what this is about for us in schools is actually coming together and focusing on our relationships and what draws us together and our shared purpose, which is a great learning environment for our children, for all of our children.

155
00:22:36.750 --> 00:22:46.980
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So the next slide that's you know what have we been working on to get ready for school large part of what consumes our time during this month is our staffing.

156
00:22:47.610 --> 00:22:59.640
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Making sure we fill positions that have been vacated by retirements or moves or resignations temporary leaves those things so typical they happen every school year we want to make sure we get folks where they're going to be in our classrooms.

157
00:23:00.270 --> 00:23:07.890
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: we've had our retreat our operation staff last week had two days for their retreat and trainings that they need to go through.

158
00:23:08.970 --> 00:23:16.260
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: To make sure that we have safe buildings and facilities nutrition services will be coming back together and getting kitchens and.

159
00:23:18.600 --> 00:23:25.140
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: To food plans put together secretaries will arrive back next week we'll have a kickoff morning for them.

160
00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:37.170
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Are new teachers, we create a day for them to come and to become oriented and director Thompson was talking about onboarding new board members, well, we want to do the same courtesy for our new teachers and give them additional time to.

161
00:23:37.530 --> 00:23:45.810
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: get on board and and find what they need to find for a successful year and then all of our staff will return on the 31st and we have three days that week.

162
00:23:46.530 --> 00:24:00.150
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: which we plan together and work together to prepare for school So these are busy days as we get ready for school to launch the next slide shows you that, too, we have a special event coming up on August 30.

163
00:24:01.170 --> 00:24:07.950
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: This is the Monday before our teachers get back, so this is an optional opportunity for our staff, but we find that.

164
00:24:08.520 --> 00:24:16.440
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: they're excited to come we usually have a full House and we have a very special keynote speaker Paul occlude is going to be with us.

165
00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:31.590
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: i've just got a slide that captures probably five or six of her probably a dozen books that she's either written or co authored in addition to her very robust training and speaking and workshop schedule.

166
00:24:32.730 --> 00:24:43.320
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: pollock Luke is an educator and author with expertise on inclusive classrooms and communities so especially around special education as we think about continuing.

167
00:24:43.710 --> 00:24:52.530
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: That work and planning for continuing that work, the topic will be on universal design for learning and co teaching in the classroom so.

168
00:24:53.370 --> 00:25:02.010
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: we've moved to this place of inclusion where students don't leave the classroom to get the support they need, but we bring the support to the classroom where they are with their peers.

169
00:25:02.520 --> 00:25:10.860
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And so she's written a number of books, this one that i'm going to hold up in my screen is the one that we're going to unpack with her 30 days.

170
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:19.950
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: To the Co taught classroom how do teachers work together in a classroom around serving students, last year we found her book all in.

171
00:25:20.430 --> 00:25:29.670
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Around 18 ways to create inclusive virtual classrooms really helpful so she's been an author that's right alongside us around our work with inclusion.

172
00:25:30.030 --> 00:25:38.130
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Not only that, but she wrote the foreword to our district book leading for all written by Dr Jennifer Spencer items.

173
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:48.480
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: This book captures the story of our district in our work around inclusive practices and policies, wrote the forward to that so she's a familiar face a good friend in the work.

174
00:25:49.110 --> 00:26:03.990
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Notable researcher and educator and board members are welcome to hear her keynote if you'd like that day just let us know, and we can get you the time and everything she'll be at meridian creek that morning is where we'll have our kickoff.

175
00:26:06.120 --> 00:26:17.610
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Just a couple more slides to then talk about how we continue to process information that we are hearing regarding health and safety protocols, particularly as it pertains to.

176
00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:32.910
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: As you know, we had first a mandate at the end of July that pertain to schools for the fall around face coverings and we were working through that and making those adjustments and then.

177
00:26:34.530 --> 00:26:45.360
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Just the other week we had then the governor's mandate for face coverings then to become a law for all indoor spaces so we've made those adjustments as well.

178
00:26:46.650 --> 00:26:54.690
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And we're monitoring that and listening very carefully and following guidance from our local public health authority, as well as Oregon health authority.

179
00:26:56.100 --> 00:27:06.990
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: we're watching also for those exceptions for face coverings and they've listed there, you can see a few in the bullet point when we're actively eating or it's a private individual workspace we did get clarity from.

180
00:27:07.710 --> 00:27:28.620
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: osa that while there's a mandate for face coverings indoors the athletes who are practicing or playing do not need to wear a mask is not required, but they may so you may see variation among the athletes themselves, but all the other adults in the indoor space, who are not the athletes.

181
00:27:29.790 --> 00:27:35.730
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: do need to be wearing a mask so we did get some clarification, which was really helpful to our summer camps and some of our.

182
00:27:36.300 --> 00:27:46.770
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: activities going on there was a wonder about a vaccination requirement for employees of state agencies and wondering if school districts were included in that they are not.

183
00:27:47.370 --> 00:27:55.470
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: While we are a public school and we do follow a lot of the laws and mandates set forward by the state of Oregon.

184
00:27:56.460 --> 00:28:03.750
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: School districts are not considered employees of the state of Oregon their employees of there's local school board.

185
00:28:04.470 --> 00:28:15.540
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So at this time, there is not a vaccination requirement for employees of our school district or school districts in Oregon and we'll just wait and hear if that changes at all.

186
00:28:17.370 --> 00:28:25.560
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: On the next slide what we're also continuing to work through around some clarifications and communications is again just some of the.

187
00:28:26.490 --> 00:28:35.670
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Either the slight changes or or families wondering have there been any changes around guidance for quarantine or contact tracing.

188
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:48.840
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The definition of exposure still stays the same if you're within six feet or 15 minutes of prolonged exposure, however Oregon health authority has.

189
00:28:49.500 --> 00:29:02.280
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: made an exception in the classroom if students are wearing face masks, then the three feet rule would apply for exposure, so they have made an exception.

190
00:29:02.970 --> 00:29:12.660
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: This is not for adults or adults to students but students to students, so they have made an exception around what's the definition of close contact.

191
00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:26.580
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: In that one area, we continue to look to our local public health authority clackamas county public health department for any updates or guidance we're talking with them regularly and especially as we get closer to the start of school.

192
00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:45.210
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We are exploring again, you know what makes it more helpful and more efficient, should there be an exposure at the school and we begin the process of contact tracing how we verify vaccination are there ways that we could reduce some possibilities of.

193
00:29:46.620 --> 00:29:51.540
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Close contact and looking at where there are some natural cohorts that we could.

194
00:29:51.930 --> 00:30:02.010
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: just continue with a lot easier and a primary school to think about an intact class that might stay intact, then for lunchtime, and maybe a recess rotation to minimize.

195
00:30:02.820 --> 00:30:11.610
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The exposure and exposure that could happen and then there's things like should we have assigned seats on a bus or in a classroom again, that would be to minimize.

196
00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:23.400
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The need for quarantine if there was an exposure, because now you're not quarantining multiple classes, but maybe just students around who are sitting around that other student who had coven.

197
00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:35.250
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then you'll recall last year, we did hire temporary health assistance, who were able to monitor our care rooms, if someone had come up with symptoms, or to help with contact tracing.

198
00:30:35.910 --> 00:30:45.270
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And we're coming to terms with likely we need to hire those positions again having all of our students come back to school every day.

199
00:30:46.560 --> 00:30:55.620
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: could just cause the need for if there was an exposure and we had quite a number of students, that we needed to contact and their families have a potential exposure, we could use.

200
00:30:56.550 --> 00:31:08.400
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Those extra assistance to support again these would be temporary positions and if we can hire back some of the folks we had last year that'd be great they had some training, if not, we would would conduct that training again.

201
00:31:09.690 --> 00:31:22.080
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So then, just to clarify again we were trying to send the message out to families that there would not be a need for quarantining if a student staff member is vaccinated and not experiencing symptoms.

202
00:31:23.850 --> 00:31:33.870
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And if the student is masked and exercises three feet of physical distancing to the greatest extent possible and not experiencing coven 19 symptoms.

203
00:31:34.230 --> 00:31:45.360
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So we're going to just try to continue to provide education to our Community on the guidance from oh ha and our public health department, particularly around these questions which we're getting the most from our families.

204
00:31:46.800 --> 00:32:06.330
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then one more slide I we did send a message out Friday evening we were getting questions about a recent suspension of the high school state assessment for graduation requirement was senate bill 744 and hopefully you all were able to read that memo that I sent out.

205
00:32:07.770 --> 00:32:14.070
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: To the Community and we've gotten some responses back thanking us for that clarity for those who have not seen it.

206
00:32:14.550 --> 00:32:28.680
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Again, what the Senate bill 744 states and does is it only suspends the requirement for graduation for these graduating classes that requirement to take the Oregon state assessment.

207
00:32:29.250 --> 00:32:36.780
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: It doesn't mean that the State assessments are going away or that we're not going to administer them, they will still be administered.

208
00:32:37.470 --> 00:32:51.450
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: highest high state standards will still be in place students will still be 24 credits to graduate classroom instruction will be rigorous will continue with our districts interim map assessments.

209
00:32:52.530 --> 00:32:57.180
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: families can still opt out of state assessments they've had the ability to do that.

210
00:32:58.170 --> 00:33:09.300
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: What this senate bill does is it asks the Oregon Department of Education to review high school processes to demonstrate essential skills and it suspends for three years.

211
00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:17.040
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The requirement for a high school student to take and pass the state assessment in order to graduate they're still welcome to take it.

212
00:33:17.700 --> 00:33:26.700
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: it's there for them to take, they can submit that score to an interest in higher education institution they can still take the AC T and the essay T.

213
00:33:27.450 --> 00:33:34.140
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So hopefully that clarified some of the misunderstandings that were circulating the Community we're starting to hear back that already it's done that so.

214
00:33:35.490 --> 00:33:37.470
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: we're glad we were glad to get that out.

215
00:33:38.850 --> 00:33:54.150
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then maybe just to end also on some good news I don't know if you saw one of the recent articles, but I just wanted to recognize the decisions that our board made last year around in person learning and that our teachers put forward.

216
00:33:55.260 --> 00:33:57.120
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We were recognized in.

217
00:33:58.320 --> 00:34:08.190
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The oregonian as one of those school districts that have the highest percentage of students learning in person for school districts of 1500 students are larger.

218
00:34:08.790 --> 00:34:25.680
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So I know that's very small font on your screen but i'll just say Western Wilson bill is right there up at the top, and you can see some other districts that were listed, it was not a comprehensive list there may be some other school districts, but the investigation that was done with.

219
00:34:26.850 --> 00:34:32.460
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The reporters from Oregon they they did the oregonian they did call and ask us we're able to describe our model.

220
00:34:33.750 --> 00:34:39.900
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And i'm really proud of how our district came alongside and approve the model that we put forward.

221
00:34:41.190 --> 00:34:48.030
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: I believe it gave us the best alternative that we could present during the situation that we're in last year, and certainly our teachers.

222
00:34:49.110 --> 00:34:59.670
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: put forward tremendous effort and willingness to adjust and adapt and create a hybrid model that allowed for the greatest percentage of in person learning.

223
00:35:00.240 --> 00:35:09.750
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: For large school district in the state of Oregon I think it also speaks to how we started in limited in person instruction back in October students who needed to come in.

224
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:18.510
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Depending on their diverse needs, we also started our hybrid model is one of the earliest school districts in the portland metro area we started in February.

225
00:35:20.130 --> 00:35:29.700
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Our Friday had actually an alternating Friday, if you recall some school districts only had a four day week for all students, we had a five day week with that alternating Friday.

226
00:35:30.390 --> 00:35:36.990
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then we also If you recall offered what we called extended recovery and learning opportunities.

227
00:35:37.530 --> 00:35:44.310
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: for students who wanted to come more frequently, when we were able to, and they wanted to come more frequently, then the two days.

228
00:35:45.180 --> 00:35:50.370
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And we were able to invite more students back, we started with our seniors and some of our high school students.

229
00:35:51.210 --> 00:36:09.120
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So I just, I was glad to see that was captured and that your decisions as a board and our efforts with our staff are recognized here and that's the end of my report, I think the last slide just says any comments or questions, but we can we can move on, thank you.

230
00:36:11.370 --> 00:36:14.280
Chelsea King: Thank you, Dr Ludwig and the work of.

231
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:28.950
Chelsea King: receiving a lot of complicated information and synthesizing it and applying it to a large system continues and I just appreciate your perseverance and navigating really complex information, environment and.

232
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:37.020
Chelsea King: As that graph showed us and there's some really good outcomes from that diligence, so thank you.

233
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:46.980
Chelsea King: Alright, so now we have the consent agenda, and this is, I think our first time as a board to.

234
00:36:48.240 --> 00:36:51.420
Chelsea King: Work with a consent agenda, and so, in case.

235
00:36:52.680 --> 00:37:01.170
Chelsea King: You don't know what it is and like myself when I first started and I had to ask Google, let me just tell you it's basically.

236
00:37:01.950 --> 00:37:12.240
Chelsea King: kind of standard business, like the Minutes and the the the new hires, and so we typically package them all up because.

237
00:37:13.020 --> 00:37:18.780
Chelsea King: there's not a need for much discussion and so when we passed the consent agenda we're passing everything that's in there.

238
00:37:19.290 --> 00:37:27.810
Chelsea King: If you have something that you want to discuss it's in the consent agenda, like some of the Minutes, or something like that you can just make a motion to.

239
00:37:28.710 --> 00:37:44.160
Chelsea King: redact those from the consent agenda and we can place it on the agenda for later in the evening, so that we can discuss it independently so probably you already knew that but I thought it was worth mentioning, as we move into consent agenda.

240
00:37:46.590 --> 00:37:49.410
Chelsea King: All right, miss our I think I need a motion.

241
00:37:50.490 --> 00:37:52.920
Christy Thompson: I make a motion that we passed the consent agenda.

242
00:37:55.830 --> 00:37:58.260
Chelsea King: I saw Dr Taylor raised his hand it's a.

243
00:37:58.260 --> 00:37:58.920
Louis Taylor: Second.

244
00:37:59.190 --> 00:38:00.930

00:38:54.690 --> 00:39:04.200
Chelsea King: Okay, and then what I might do once i'm done speaking is actually tried to move close to a different room So if you see me disconnect or do something it's just because i'm moving closer to the router.

263
00:39:05.250 --> 00:39:11.370
Chelsea King: Okay, so this is time for public comment sorry I don't know what where I cut out so i'll just say, the whole thing again.

264
00:39:11.700 --> 00:39:20.760
Chelsea King: And there were a few folks who did have prepared statements and we were in person and they handed those to me and Miss Douglas is going to copy them.

265
00:39:21.060 --> 00:39:28.560
Chelsea King: and give them to us if you handed something in and you didn't have your name on it, I think, maybe we had one we think we know who it was but.

269
00:40:03.120 --> 00:40:19.920

285
00:43:30.750 --> 00:43:47.280

286
00:43:48.300 --> 00:43:52.530
Louis Taylor: The directors, the chair of the vice chair and Dr Ludwig.

00:43:53.550 --> 00:43:58.560
Louis Taylor: we're all in attendance and we discussed this purchase a property and felt like it was in the.

288
00:43:59.490 --> 00:44:11.400
Louis Taylor: School districts best interest to communities best interests interest, and it also provides a safe space for those people who may be suffering from disabilities who may not be able to walk as far from other parking lots.

289
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:21.300
Louis Taylor: Visitors having a better space to pull up to a school and cross safely with that traffic light there and I think it's just a no brainer completely and it is.

290
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:35.820
Louis Taylor: builds relationship with the the church across the street and continuing to show that the district is is also a friend of the Community, so I don't know that there's much more for me to say about it other than it's a.

291
00:44:36.600 --> 00:44:42.540
Louis Taylor: it's an awesome purchase and I think it'll benefit the whole community and i'm excited for it to take place.

292
00:44:49.230 --> 00:44:52.800
Chelsea King: All right, thank you, Director Taylor for those comments and.

293
00:44:54.570 --> 00:45:03.990
Chelsea King: yeah I would just echo that that this is a very wise strategic move for the benefit of the Community and for students and so on.

294
00:45:04.380 --> 00:45:20.040

305
00:46:14.700 --> 00:46:26.370
Chelsea King: And we did have a number of applications, I think it was about 13 or so yeah for two positions, and I do see.

306
00:46:27.270 --> 00:46:38.100
Chelsea King: One of our current long range planning committee members, Kim Jordan who's reapplied popped her video on, and I think this would be a good time for anybody who.

307
00:46:38.730 --> 00:46:48.510
Chelsea King: I curtis you can correct me if i'm wrong, I think they have they can turn their videos on if they want to speak to us at this time, take a couple minutes.

308
00:46:49.110 --> 00:46:53.190
Chelsea King: To introduce yourself and talk about why you want to be on the long range planning committee.

309
00:46:53.490 --> 00:47:05.280
Chelsea King: and anybody who wants to do that will have an opportunity, we also have before us your applications and can see the statement that you wrote there and then after we've heard from everybody.

310
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:18.210
Chelsea King: We will take nominations for the first position and vote on that, and then we will take nominations for the second position and vote on that and then that portion of the agenda will be closed.

311
00:47:19.860 --> 00:47:20.760
Chelsea King: So.

312
00:47:21.780 --> 00:47:29.190
Curtis Nelson: Okay yeah attendees cannot just turn on their video, they would have to identify themselves to me somehow.

313
00:47:29.700 --> 00:47:48.690
Curtis Nelson: They can do that if they want by sending me an email really quick it's really quick for me to enable them for video if they do want to speak my email is really straightforward it's just Nelson see at the wl web K 12 or yet us, and I know I said that fast.

314
00:47:49.740 --> 00:48:01.350
Curtis Nelson: But it's a it's an llc at wl web K twelve.org.us if you send me an email saying that you want to speak and you're in the attendee list I can enable you to turn on your video.

315
00:48:03.450 --> 00:48:13.740
Chelsea King: Okay, so i'm just going to take this step of the process very slow, because I want to make sure that anybody who was here and wants to speak, has the opportunity, so.

316
00:48:14.610 --> 00:48:18.120
Chelsea King: i'll just repeat back what you're saying and give people a chance to respond.

317
00:48:18.540 --> 00:48:39.090
Chelsea King: And that, if if people who have applied to the long range planning committee would like to address the board that they can right now send an email to curtis Nelson at let's see if I can remember it Nelson see at wl wv dot K 12 dot O r.us did I get that.

318
00:48:39.300 --> 00:48:43.980
Chelsea King: Yes, ah great and and.

319
00:48:45.300 --> 00:48:48.750
Chelsea King: curtis will send you a link that will pop you in.

320
00:48:49.920 --> 00:49:09.480
Chelsea King: And i'm kind of wondering if it's worth taking a two or three minute break or if we should continue forward, and I want the night to get too late, but also, I know, we had folks who arrived in person, and then we had to adjourn abruptly and send everybody out on their way.

321
00:49:11.640 --> 00:49:15.780
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: i'm checking i'm just scanning the attendees list to see if any of the.

322
00:49:17.340 --> 00:49:23.250
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Are on there, which could be helpful, maybe miss Jordan could could start, and I can keep scanning.

323
00:49:23.460 --> 00:49:30.300
Curtis Nelson: there's one There is one other already but, to my knowledge that's the only one other Sir hall.

324
00:49:30.990 --> 00:49:34.980
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And I do see d'souza jr d'souza is in our attendees.

325
00:49:37.020 --> 00:49:40.680
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And so, if john de souza wishes to speak.

00:49:48.060 --> 00:50:03.930
Chelsea King: that'd be great thanks i'm I had to rearrange my hundred pound dog is pushing me out of the way so i'm going to keep scooting further and further away yeah I think if we start with miss Jordan, then we can give an opportunity for folks to email curtis or.

328
00:50:05.850 --> 00:50:12.270
Chelsea King: Otherwise indicated that they want to get in so so everybody on the board feel comfortable moving forward in that fashion.

330
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:19.770

Kim Jordan: I have four boys who are in well three boys who are in the district now one who graduate from West one hi this past year.

00:50:48.630 --> 00:50:57.930
Kim Jordan: i'm going to have three high schoolers coming up in the fall two freshmen and a junior and they attend Westland high school and.

335
00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:08.190
Kim Jordan: I have served on the long range planning committee for the past three years and I have been a part of the current braun process since the very beginning.

336
00:51:09.120 --> 00:51:17.520
Kim Jordan: i'm if I were to be reappointed i'd be the only Member who is part of the bond process from that very beginning point.

337
00:51:18.180 --> 00:51:30.150
Kim Jordan: i'm an active member of the committee I attend the meetings, for the most part, except for twice in three years once with my 20th wedding anniversary, so I think I got a pass on that.

338
00:51:30.660 --> 00:51:40.050
Kim Jordan: And I spoke at the buttons on it and I frequently provide and write the quarterly board report that was presented to this group.

339
00:51:40.680 --> 00:51:54.000
Kim Jordan: I also served on the board board board appointed Safety Committee, the safety committee made recommendations to the board regarding school safety and a lot of those recommendations.

340
00:51:54.630 --> 00:52:07.530
Kim Jordan: ended up being part of the bond as well, so a big time when we were asked to as a part of the committee, whether we wanted to participate in the deep dive to take on one of the.

341
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:17.580
Kim Jordan: projects and learn more information, I signed up to do one of those met with the staff and was able to deep dive on the third option high school.

342
00:52:18.450 --> 00:52:26.910
Kim Jordan: So i'm an active board member i'm a participant i'm engaged in the work but anything you should know about me is that I just love the work.

343
00:52:27.330 --> 00:52:38.520
Kim Jordan: I find the process interesting I learned something every time I go to the meeting I appreciate what the staff does, and I feel like i'm a real part of the committee.

344
00:52:39.300 --> 00:52:51.360
Kim Jordan: So please consider my reappointment is valuable to the overall committee currently the committee members are all in their first term and three our brand new just having been appointed last year.

345
00:52:51.990 --> 00:53:03.720
Kim Jordan: And I personally really think that there's a lot of value in having a balance new members and experienced Members to bring more.

346
00:53:04.680 --> 00:53:17.970
Kim Jordan: Content together, so a lot of the things that maybe a new member doesn't know like and some of the analysis, we got from flow analytics I can fill in some gaps for people and help them along otherwise.

347
00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:25.800
Kim Jordan: it's not as much of drinking from a fire hoses the board experiences, but it is a lot of new information for people so.

348
00:53:26.250 --> 00:53:38.520
Kim Jordan: I really feel like it is called the long range planning Committee, the recommendations are about the big picture of the future, the district's growth, and I feel like i'm someone who understands that and can bring that to the table.

349
00:53:39.690 --> 00:53:40.020

00:54:11.370 --> 00:54:16.710
Bryan Libel: And unfortunately i'm just not savvy enough to change it so.

357
00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:24.630
Bryan Libel: So, so please, please, if you like, your points that's great if you don't please forgive.

358
00:54:26.430 --> 00:54:38.550
Bryan Libel: So school board members, good evening i'm Brian libel, I have three children in the school district i've lived in Westland for 21 years.

359
00:54:39.870 --> 00:54:58.320
Bryan Libel: So that the past 18 months has spurred my interest in getting more involved in school affairs specific to the long range planning committee, my interest has peaked as the capital bond construction unfolds, and with this cell of access property.

360
00:55:00.840 --> 00:55:15.030
Bryan Libel: As my application states as legal counsel for a government agency I advise on a wide range of issues involving personnel operations logistics liability contracts policymaking and more.

361
00:55:16.260 --> 00:55:25.740
Bryan Libel: In addition, I often work with other agencies at the local state and national levels on on matters of shared interest.

362
00:55:27.210 --> 00:55:36.900
Bryan Libel: I would be remiss if I didn't mention that for six years I was a member of the Oregon state bar's house of delegates which evaluates and provides feedback.

363
00:55:37.620 --> 00:55:56.940
Bryan Libel: To the Board of Governors on a wider range wide array excuse me of proposals, questions and topics dylan's dealing with the practice of law, although the content is different, this function is somewhat similar to what the lr PC does with the school board.

364
00:55:58.260 --> 00:56:09.630
Bryan Libel: And, as my application also states, I hold a in addition to my law degree a master of loss degree and a master's in strategic studies.

365
00:56:10.830 --> 00:56:25.470
Bryan Libel: This education and broad experience gives me a knack for collaborating issue spotting and Problem Solving which I think would be helpful in developing and or refining the district's long range plan.

366
00:56:26.730 --> 00:56:37.410
Bryan Libel: Moreover, my my critical and holistic thinking and attention to detail align well with the lr PCs purpose, so I thank you for your time and consideration.

367
00:56:39.210 --> 00:56:44.310
Chelsea King: All right, thank you, and then I side jan's thousand.

Chelsea King: amy director Wyatt nominated amy Patterson sandy and we don't need a second, so we can just see if there any other nominations.

429
01:04:23.130 --> 01:04:29.310
Chelsea King: Alright, so i'm not sure if folks are looking at their notes or if that means no looking at the notes okay i'll just pause for a minute.

430
01:04:29.520 --> 01:04:30.480
Louis Taylor: i'm looking at my notes.

431
01:04:30.540 --> 01:04:34.650
Chelsea King: Okay that's okay there's a lot of names to flip through here.

432
01:04:38.970 --> 01:04:48.090
Louis Taylor: And are we limited to nominating one name or can you nominate multiple names out of curiosity i'm not sure what the rule is on that so that's why i'm asking.

433
01:04:48.450 --> 01:04:50.940
Chelsea King: yeah it's a great question um.

434
01:04:52.380 --> 01:05:05.460
Chelsea King: You know I guess I would think about just the strategy of it, I mean it will yeah you'd be putting two people up for one vote, and so maybe it just watered down the process I don't know.

435
01:05:05.730 --> 01:05:09.810
Louis Taylor: I didn't know that I didn't send them going to do that, I just want to rule was on it and.

436
01:05:10.470 --> 01:05:13.710
Chelsea King: I, and I don't know what robert's rules would say that's just kind of where my brain.

437
01:05:13.710 --> 01:05:14.160
goes.

438
01:05:15.720 --> 01:05:16.710
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: If I recall from.

439
01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:17.580
Louis Taylor: Our charity.

440
01:05:18.270 --> 01:05:29.280
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: I recall a chair came from the past practice sometimes there were two names that were brought forward and that gave all five members, the board and opportunity consider which the to they wanted to vote for okay.

441
01:05:29.580 --> 01:05:31.050
Chelsea King: So, in that sense, then.

442
01:05:31.500 --> 01:05:32.340
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: That did occur.

443
01:05:32.550 --> 01:05:34.170
Chelsea King: A names out and.

444
01:05:34.830 --> 01:05:42.120
Louis Taylor: Well i'd like to just nominate Brian libel, I like what he had to say it has expertise in his knowledge base, I have no.

445
01:05:43.830 --> 01:05:56.040
Louis Taylor: No know no knowledge or any personal relationship with Brian but the expertise moved me and it seemed like it could be something that could be valuable.

446
01:05:57.540 --> 01:06:02.490
Louis Taylor: To the other long range planning committee members and so.

447
01:06:03.600 --> 01:06:14.970
Louis Taylor: Just from what I heard I liked what I heard, not that I didn't like what other people had to say, but I think that the depth that he went to the to explain his expertise resonated with me so.

448
01:06:16.200 --> 01:06:21.030
Louis Taylor: So I would like to nominate Brian live also just because he moved me.

449
01:06:22.230 --> 01:06:23.730
Louis Taylor: And I think you might be a good asset.

450
01:06:30.390 --> 01:06:36.060
Chelsea King: Alright, so our folks still looking at their notes, or are there no further nominations.

451
01:06:40.590 --> 01:06:52.590
Chelsea King: Okay i'll just speak about which direction i'm going to vote, and why, and if anybody else wants to as well, and this is always tough but.

452
01:06:53.550 --> 01:07:12.390
Chelsea King: I will go with the nomination for amy Patterson sandy and I just appreciated the the depth of experience that she has in the district and her statement of commitment to the work that the district has been involved in.

453
01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:20.100
Chelsea King: And so that's a little bit about why i'll vote the direction I will, so if anybody else wants to say anything.

454
01:07:21.420 --> 01:07:23.550
Chelsea King: now's your time, or we can call for the vote.

455
01:07:28.920 --> 01:07:38.310
Christy Thompson: Checking, can I just ask how are you going to do, are we going to go through both of them and either go, yes or how is it going to work.

456
01:07:38.460 --> 01:07:49.620
Chelsea King: yeah I believe the best way to do it is to take the first nomination and vote on that one and then do the second nomination and vote on that one and.

457
01:07:50.940 --> 01:07:55.140
Chelsea King: yeah and see where we're Atlanta if it's a tie, then we do it over again.

458
01:07:56.160 --> 01:07:57.990
Christy Thompson: And i'm assuming we would just vote for one.

459
01:07:59.370 --> 01:08:01.200
Christy Thompson: yeah I think we probably a lot of the other.

460
01:08:01.380 --> 01:08:06.840
Chelsea King: yeah I suppose you make the technically you could probably vote yes for both or something, but just for.

461
01:08:06.840 --> 01:08:07.170
Chelsea King: Like a.

462
01:08:07.260 --> 01:08:08.790
Chelsea King: process, maybe just choose one.

463
01:08:09.300 --> 01:08:10.590
Christy Thompson: Okay, thank you.

464
01:08:13.020 --> 01:08:15.000

Remo Douglas: This speaks to an incredible volume of work, the bond management team and designers been working very hard to launch a lot of work, starting this summer and that significant spike in spending representative of all that work coming to fruition and projects being well underway.

514
01:12:36.570 --> 01:12:43.890
Remo Douglas: coven 19 has had an impact, I sent a memo out to the superintendent and CEO in late June.

515
01:12:44.640 --> 01:13:01.620
Remo Douglas: noting an uptick in material and Labor issues on projects, the teams i'm very proud of for working very diligently to medicate those impacts find alternative products to find new procurement means to ensure that everything is moving as quickly as possible.

516
01:13:02.940 --> 01:13:10.890
Remo Douglas: But there will be a number of products that simply won't be available on time, you may visit a school and see a new window that's a sheet of plywood.

517
01:13:12.030 --> 01:13:25.320
Remo Douglas: You may see more hardware across the schools that we hope to be brand new which will still be the old hardware, as we built the metal to be able to make the door knobs to bring them here and be able to put them on.

518
01:13:27.120 --> 01:13:31.440
Remo Douglas: do have some specific updates about specific projects.

519
01:13:33.120 --> 01:13:44.490
Remo Douglas: At at creek where we've got the new addition going on but project is actually going very well, we will be ready for students, a logistics plan has been put together.

520
01:13:45.120 --> 01:13:54.240
Remo Douglas: For how bus and parent pickup and drop off will occur and we've given some good documentation to the leadership team there to help communicate that.

521
01:13:54.480 --> 01:14:03.360
Remo Douglas: And will be coordinating a smooth start of the school year with some assistance for way finding and helping folks know the right way to go, as they learn that new traffic pattern.

522
01:14:04.530 --> 01:14:11.640
Remo Douglas: At what middle school That was our biggest summer project, this year we just today.

523
01:14:12.690 --> 01:14:23.130
Remo Douglas: have officially informed the administration that we do not expect the new office remodel to be fully ready in time for the start of school.

524
01:14:24.210 --> 01:14:36.450
Remo Douglas: The material availability shortages and scale, the project here have not made that practical everyone is working diligently and the contractors working about 75 hours a week right now.

525
01:14:37.560 --> 01:14:49.140
Remo Douglas: And they will get the classrooms done, they will be ready and ready for staff to return but we've asked the contractor to focus the efforts on those classrooms to ensure that effort.

526
01:14:49.860 --> 01:15:05.940
Remo Douglas: is successful, so that teachers and students can have a good, safe learning environment and we do have a good setup for Mike and his team to have an alternate accommodation in the building through September, so that we can get that office completed.

527
01:15:07.320 --> 01:15:16.920
Remo Douglas: At willamette primary school, we will not have the new entry available we've got a new accessible entry big concrete ramps.

528
01:15:17.400 --> 01:15:28.110
Remo Douglas: A new front entry secure vestibule and a slight expansion of the office that new entry itself will not be available quite at the start of school, we think, just a couple weeks behind.

529
01:15:29.040 --> 01:15:39.600
Remo Douglas: Again with the nature of material and Labor shortages in the area we've we've counted ourselves very fortunate that those really are largely the extent of the issues.

530
01:15:40.830 --> 01:15:54.090
Remo Douglas: There will be a certain amount of air conditioning equipment that will not be available and installed fully at the time, school starts, for the most part that's primary schools which have never had air conditioning before.

531
01:15:55.110 --> 01:16:12.990
Remo Douglas: We will ensure as i've said repeatedly, every time i'm speaking out in public, we will have air movement, we will have air filtration we will make sure that those rooms are safe for the staff and students and we will get the air conditioned running in as many spaces as fast as we can.

532
01:16:15.210 --> 01:16:23.400
Remo Douglas: And with that i'd like to turn it over to Mary who's going to provide a little update on what's happening out at Wilson bill high school.

533
01:16:25.230 --> 01:16:31.980
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): So, good evening, and thank you for the opportunity to address the board, I really appreciate this I was looking forward to meeting you in person, but.

534
01:16:32.970 --> 01:16:36.000
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): i've gotten used to zoom, so this is a feels familiar.

535
01:16:36.870 --> 01:16:44.970
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And I know when I was asked to speak tonight, so, as I said, we each of us on the Committee are tasked with one of the different projects, and so I am.

536
01:16:45.240 --> 01:16:51.570
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): My children went through the whole civil schools and have graduated from there, and so I was eager to see what happens at the high school, so I was.

537
01:16:51.960 --> 01:17:00.210
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): very pleased to be taking on this role and oversight, and so I visited the site this morning extra with remote and it was just interesting to go.

538
01:17:00.690 --> 01:17:04.740
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Behind the fence a little bit and to see some of the progress and so forth, and I.

539
01:17:05.730 --> 01:17:12.060
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): If you're interested, I think, feel he would take everybody out there on the board, but it was really nice to be able to go on to the site.

540
01:17:12.570 --> 01:17:19.350
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): and actually to see it and feel it and experience what it will be like and to stand in that space right now it's a lot of.

541
01:17:20.250 --> 01:17:24.120
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): machinery and broken and concrete and so forth, and just preparing the site, but.

542
01:17:24.900 --> 01:17:32.190
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): The the foresight to think of that space, I think it's going to be phenomenal for all of our both of our communities, because just I know the.

543
01:17:32.520 --> 01:17:37.800
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): The Westland has this amazing auditorium and now we're going to have something similar like that animal Seville that will be.

544
01:17:38.130 --> 01:17:46.320
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Fantastic for all of our students, as well as the Community I think that's a big thing to recognize, is where we are the district, and so forth it's something that can be.

545
01:17:46.770 --> 01:17:56.040
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): accessible for our community as well, so I just say in my say i'm a very blowing in terms of the excitement about the the building and where it's progressing.

546
01:17:56.790 --> 01:18:06.660
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And a role is on that committee, though I we've talked several times about the you know different issues with sites and we've gotten a reports about how things are going, and so forth, and so I just kind of wanted to give you a kind of an oversight of.

547
01:18:06.720 --> 01:18:09.720
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): My perspective and what we've talked about, as the committee as well.

548
01:18:10.170 --> 01:18:25.290
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And so I came up with my I think three main themes and that's timing, safety and cost, and those are things that i'm assuming are of interest to the Community and the board as well to really keep a focus on that and so it's really talked about with the other projects.

549
01:18:26.310 --> 01:18:32.910
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): there's a lot with with the pandemic, but also with the sort of materials, the timing is an issue to look out, but I know.

550
01:18:33.330 --> 01:18:42.840
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): It what I was assured up today and what I could really see as well, is it is still on track, and it is, I think it's by January 2023 will be the completion date.

551
01:18:43.350 --> 01:18:52.860
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): i'm looking forward to hopefully we can all get together and actually have a ribbon cutting and having some kind of ceremony for that event because it's something that was missed with not with everything that's happening right now.

552
01:18:54.360 --> 01:19:00.660
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): What I found fascinating I mean it's in the demolition stage, so a lot of like the parking lot is being dug up and so forth, and.

553
01:19:01.770 --> 01:19:10.680
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): But I was just fascinating just watching you know the fencing that's gone up some very thoughtful ways to to keep people safe but also just the process of how things will be done.

554
01:19:12.330 --> 01:19:21.600
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Working with the city of Wilson well as well with the permitting process and very clearly that the the district is very engaged in that, and I think i'd also if anybody from this watching from the city.

555
01:19:22.020 --> 01:19:31.470
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): I think I do agree that they are being very careful, without making sure that we're complying with Code and the district is working very closely with them to make sure they're in compliance with that.

556
01:19:32.010 --> 01:19:40.080
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): So I believe, from my perspective, everything that I see right now, unless something changes in the future, right now think the project is really on track.

557
01:19:40.410 --> 01:19:47.010
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): So I think the timing wise things, and they have adjusted some really interesting ways, where the contractor itself themselves have said.

558
01:19:47.280 --> 01:19:53.760
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): How about we do this at this order versus that order and so there's constant evaluation and to me that's the important every time we get a.

559
01:19:54.030 --> 01:19:59.100
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): New update there's more information about how they're constantly adapting and looking for it's.

560
01:19:59.670 --> 01:20:13.830
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): using remote words efficiencies ways to do things and shifting around to to get it done on time so timing i'm comfortable with that i'm thinking for fact families coming in in the fall.

561
01:20:14.520 --> 01:20:23.760
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): As a parent, and I know kids driving are dropping off with the other schools as well that timing of dropping off for vehicles that's going to take some adjustment and some patients.

562
01:20:24.180 --> 01:20:36.420
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): On the part of the of the of our Community, I know the jv field softball field is going to be used for parking for the contractors and so there's not going to be, but there is going to be just less parking and I.

563
01:20:36.930 --> 01:20:45.270
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Just like I said I just my children just graduated recently from high school, and that was you know they're going to be like no I can't drive, so I think that's going to be just an issue in terms of the timing, but I.

564
01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:56.280
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Am coping with patience looking at a year forward that will be something that that it's going to be an amazing what will have with the outcome, and so it's going to just take a lot of patients from the public.

565
01:20:57.780 --> 01:21:10.410
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And the second one was safety that's really, really important to me and i'm going to assume with the rest of you know, the board and and and our students and parents and, and so I very clearly all everything is you know.

566
01:21:11.940 --> 01:21:15.390
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): shield it off with fencing I know there's a lot of considerations.

567
01:21:15.870 --> 01:21:21.090
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Going back with remote was telling me at some point they're going to actually going to be flying and equipment and so students are going to be allowed in certain.

568
01:21:21.330 --> 01:21:30.930
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): classrooms on certain days in order to keep everyone safe so that's a constant process of monitoring that and so that they're really assured me that they're keeping the site as safe as possible.

569
01:21:31.740 --> 01:21:38.970
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): with minimal amount of tourists disruption, there needs to be some to keep people safe to keep away from the science I think that's important.

570
01:21:39.540 --> 01:21:47.640
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And then my big one cost, and this is the one where I am i'm watching very closely the committee's watching very closely, we have discussed this as well.

571
01:21:47.910 --> 01:22:00.330
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Because the project is over budget and I think that's important to everybody there's nothing being hidden in there, the project is over budget, I think a lot of that comes from the project itself, because it is expensive to build an auditorium.

572
01:22:01.980 --> 01:22:11.880
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And they've Okay, and I believe in environmental issues and they're saving the oak tree in the front too and that's part of the you know the the adaptation that's common I think that's important that oak tree is being protected.

573
01:22:12.360 --> 01:22:14.010
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And I think that's you know part of that.

574
01:22:14.850 --> 01:22:24.930
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): But I also recognize material costs, I think, as most people have been reading the news and reading about how much a sheet of plywood costs and so forth it's just out of just outrageously, and you know high.

575
01:22:25.410 --> 01:22:30.750
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And so I i've just been really pleased when I hear and we asked questions about what's going on that.

576
01:22:31.140 --> 01:22:42.840
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): The the district staff has been very busy finding ways to find just as good but maybe cheaper products or finding different ways, about the flow of how things are built or hoping for moving.

577
01:22:43.530 --> 01:22:49.860
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): In a remote a second this morning, a little bit about the the water supplies that's right in there, they don't have the piping.

578
01:22:50.400 --> 01:22:57.750
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Right remote I might not immediately was a water so yeah so there's the piping isn't available, they were able to go to Montana, to get some pipes, but they can't.

579
01:22:57.930 --> 01:23:07.590
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): So they've readjusted when they're doing things so that they can wait till the material is available, and so that cost, I think, also as things become much more known.

580
01:23:08.100 --> 01:23:12.870
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): I think, by December of this year, is what I was told as well, no more carefully what those costs will be.

581
01:23:13.200 --> 01:23:19.170
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And I know that the committee and I will personally be looking that as well to to monitor those constant to make sure that they are.

582
01:23:19.740 --> 01:23:32.340
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): They are what they're supposed to be and we're getting the auditorium that we voted for that makes sense for the bond, and so I think it's really important to recognize that the cost, we are paying attention to it from the committee side.

583
01:23:33.360 --> 01:23:44.490
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): But so far i'm not seeing that as something that's something that i'm losing sleep about yet so so if there's any questions to i'd be happy to answer, thank you for the opportunity.

584
01:23:50.220 --> 01:24:01.170
Chelsea King: Thank you so much, Mary I love I we get to hear from remote quite a bit and so it's really nice just to hear from a lay persons terms who's on the ground and doing that work so.

585
01:24:01.620 --> 01:24:07.500
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): Can I add one more thing in there, so remote gonna laugh at me so this morning he kept talking about Todd.

586
01:24:08.100 --> 01:24:12.060
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): And Todd is going to be doing this and Todd in my brain went Todd a man named Todd.

587
01:24:12.390 --> 01:24:24.960
Mary Pettenger (she/ella, her): I didn't realize it was Todd construction, I felt a little dorky but then that tells you this lay person there was going in and learning from scratch right, so I think that's important is that I really appreciate the the time that's that all of you are taking Muslim Thank you.

588
01:24:28.650 --> 01:24:29.490
Louis Taylor: Thanks Mary.

589
01:24:32.340 --> 01:24:44.400
Chelsea King: All right, i'm thinking they're probably no questions right now and we'll move on to our next agenda item is that feeling right to remodel and Mary Dr Ludwig.

590
01:24:45.690 --> 01:24:56.490
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Well, I just think it's a great another opportunity to thank our long range planning committee members who just have done a deep dive into these projects and become experts on the on the one they chose and mary's a great example of.

591
01:24:56.880 --> 01:25:10.440
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Just being so invested in that and and reading all the fine print of all of the paperwork we get from remote and and and the quarterly reports and and making a site visit with her heart hard hat on today, I could just envision you out there.

592
01:25:11.460 --> 01:25:15.090
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And being so curious and invested, and I think our community has.

593
01:25:16.230 --> 01:25:29.040
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: is really fortunate to have such committed long range planning committee members and tonight we voted two more in, and I think i'm just so grateful, so thank you, Mary for all of your time and commitment on the committee.

594
01:25:29.700 --> 01:25:42.840
Remo Douglas: know that committee is has such great value to the district and their depth of engagement and interest makes it an absolute joy to to work with them and talk with them.

595
01:25:43.620 --> 01:25:59.160
Remo Douglas: Because they do take it so seriously and one of my little lines, I go over and over and over with is you know integrity need not fear discovery and they can ask us anything they want, they can come in the Office here we can open up the books, we can do anything they want.

596
01:26:00.360 --> 01:26:03.330
Remo Douglas: And that offer goes out of course to the board as well.

597
01:26:04.350 --> 01:26:15.510
Remo Douglas: You know, come on down the district operation Center is a kind of tucked away little part of the district, but a lot of good work happens here and we're we're happy to show folks what it is we do.

598
01:26:17.490 --> 01:26:17.820
Remo Douglas: Thank you.

599
01:26:19.140 --> 01:26:30.750
Chelsea King: Thanks for him, I can't imagine running the amount of construction projects that you're running right now under under these these conditions with Labor and materials, so thank you also for your perseverance and diligence there.

600
01:26:33.960 --> 01:26:45.300
Chelsea King: Alright let's see, so I think the next is the next item is the Department of teaching and learning Dr bb so send to speak to us about the English learner update.

601
01:26:46.860 --> 01:27:06.000
Barb Soisson: Yes, thank you, this is one of reports and then state of Oregon that some districts give annually, so that we can post that we have shared the information with the time, especially i'm going to be real brief but one let you know that.

602
01:27:06.030 --> 01:27:07.890
Barb Soisson: If you have questions about.

603
01:27:08.010 --> 01:27:20.310
Barb Soisson: Our English learner program or anything that I say would be glad to talk with you in more depth or answering your questions via phone or email and there's two documents and it's the one.

604
01:27:21.510 --> 01:27:30.600
Barb Soisson: The blue one with the English language learners in Oregon and English learners are students whose first language is not English.

605
01:27:30.870 --> 01:27:44.340
Barb Soisson: And they are in an instructional program so that they become what we refer to in our district as emerging bilingual, meaning that they are fluent in English in reading, writing.

606
01:27:44.850 --> 01:28:05.070
Barb Soisson: Speaking and listening, while they also maintain their first language on the left is also a document that is a plan that submitted every three years to the state of Oregon that shows in detail about our district, and how we actually serve students next slide.

607
01:28:07.890 --> 01:28:19.620
Barb Soisson: Really briefly just to note here that this year in this report the progress towards the language and academic objectives and that's the state assessments attendance.

608
01:28:20.490 --> 01:28:42.060
Barb Soisson: That information is not going was not included in the report, because during coded in the 19 2019 20 school year, which is what this report covers those assessments were suspended and the ways that district track attendance were quite different next slide.

609
01:28:44.760 --> 01:28:48.150
Barb Soisson: Other thing that we'd like to do is to show just.

610
01:28:49.230 --> 01:28:56.640
Barb Soisson: Contrast contrasting the state report and just give you a really small glimpse of what's going on in Westland Wilson go.

611
01:28:57.360 --> 01:29:10.680
Barb Soisson: So this shows the blue bars are the percentage of students each year in the state of Oregon who are considered to be English learners.

612
01:29:11.190 --> 01:29:24.030
Barb Soisson: Meaning that they are currently in a program in that school year and have not yet reached a language proficiency measured by an assessment.

613
01:29:24.960 --> 01:29:39.750
Barb Soisson: That shows that that they are executing the program and, as you can see the blue bars from 1516 up to 1920 the percentage of the overall school population in Oregon is fairly similar.

614
01:29:40.410 --> 01:29:48.960
Barb Soisson: The Orange bar the students in Westland Wilson bill also pretty similar there's not a lot a wide range of variation.

615
01:29:50.310 --> 01:29:55.620
Barb Soisson: One thing about the state of Oregon there's a wide variation in the.

616
01:29:57.030 --> 01:30:03.480
Barb Soisson: Number of English learners in school districts, for example, would burn has 35%.

617
01:30:04.590 --> 01:30:15.090
Barb Soisson: Of the 197 districts in Oregon there's 48 school districts, who have no students who are English learners and so then there's there's everything in between.

618
01:30:16.260 --> 01:30:16.710
Barb Soisson: Next slide.

619
01:30:19.350 --> 01:30:30.630
Barb Soisson: The purpose of this is to show that there are different kinds of what's classified as English learners students currently in the Program.

620
01:30:31.980 --> 01:30:37.920
Barb Soisson: there's also students who have accident, because they've reached proficiency.

621
01:30:39.300 --> 01:30:51.570
Barb Soisson: And then, when you add those two groups together students who have ever been from kindergarten through grade 12 in a language learning Program.

622
01:30:52.830 --> 01:31:06.570
Barb Soisson: And the purpose of doing that is because you can see, the change the to the current and the former together equally ever also what's really known about language learners emerging bilingual students.

623
01:31:07.020 --> 01:31:22.470
Barb Soisson: Is you need to continue monitoring how they're doing even when they formally left the program so the state of Oregon monitor students progress for four years after that, so that academically, we can see how they're doing.

624
01:31:23.670 --> 01:31:23.940
Barb Soisson: Next.

625
01:31:28.020 --> 01:31:35.970
Barb Soisson: And the other key piece of this report is to show how students in the language learning Program.

626
01:31:37.050 --> 01:31:52.020
Barb Soisson: How they also compare in other groupings and one grouping is what's considered economically disadvantaged, which is measured by the percentage of students who receive free or reduced meals.

627
01:31:52.830 --> 01:32:02.400
Barb Soisson: And in this case there's this word never English learners so what it's comparing is the students who are.

628
01:32:03.660 --> 01:32:18.870
Barb Soisson: Currently in the program that's the blue bar so in Oregon 87% of those students who are currently in English learning programs also qualify for free and reduced meals.

629
01:32:19.920 --> 01:32:22.770
Barb Soisson: In western Western bill that's 56%.

630
01:32:24.270 --> 01:32:36.870
Barb Soisson: From those students who were in the program but who have exited because of proficiency again Oregon 78% receive free reduced meals and 44% Westland Wilson.

631
01:32:38.220 --> 01:32:53.400
Barb Soisson: Then, if you compare that to students who have never been in a language learning program that's where 46% again in the state of Oregon have qualified and 17% in Westland Wilson go.

632
01:32:54.480 --> 01:32:54.990
Barb Soisson: Next slide.

633
01:32:58.560 --> 01:33:26.400
Barb Soisson: Finally, looking at the effects on high school graduation, so the dark blue bar is Westland Wilson to current students and you can see this from 2015 16 up through this year so students currently in the program in 1920 82% of those students.

634
01:33:27.570 --> 01:33:30.030
Barb Soisson: graduated in four years.

635
01:33:31.440 --> 01:33:39.600
Barb Soisson: In the state of Oregon right underneath it in each set the dark orange bar 65% i'm just going to speak to this year's.

636
01:33:41.460 --> 01:33:50.670
Barb Soisson: for students in Westland Wilson ville who were never in a language learning program 94% graduated in four years.

637
01:33:51.840 --> 01:34:11.730
Barb Soisson: And in the state of Oregon those who were never in a program that rate was 83% so the purpose of the state and in our district in looking at this, this is our first board goal, which is we are looking at closing gaps amongst in between all groups of students.

638
01:34:13.710 --> 01:34:14.250
Barb Soisson: Next slide.

639
01:34:17.070 --> 01:34:29.070
Barb Soisson: And lastly, one of the things that was in the report is that the state of Oregon along with 44 other states awards the seal of by literacy.

640
01:34:29.670 --> 01:34:42.840
Barb Soisson: And this seal is conferred at graduation, and it means if you've met all the other graduation requirements, this is added to your graduation, and it recognizes the academic.

641
01:34:43.230 --> 01:34:52.830
Barb Soisson: cognitive career and economic advantages of being bilingual So this was recognized in the.

642
01:34:53.520 --> 01:35:06.930
Barb Soisson: document of 11 districts in Oregon had 50 or more students earning the seal of by literacy and one thing to note about this is, if you look at the comparative size of some of the school districts.

643
01:35:07.560 --> 01:35:18.420
Barb Soisson: You know, compared to the multiple size of, say, the portland school district, or how much larger know corvallis or hillsboro are than Western Wilson bill.

644
01:35:19.440 --> 01:35:29.100
Barb Soisson: We are looking at it as a goal that we have an increasing number of students who are earning this seal of by literacy.

645
01:35:30.240 --> 01:35:49.260
Barb Soisson: So anyway that's just a really short glimpse of the things in the report and we just added the pieces about our own district, and please let me know there any of us know if you have any questions if not now later and would be glad to spend time with you, thank you.

646
01:35:53.130 --> 01:35:54.150

677
01:40:52.230 --> 01:41:06.990
Son Le Hughes: That direction that we received from the bossy over here, so if the true indirect costs a 2.5% less the boar authorized the victory to go 100%.

678
01:41:07.770 --> 01:41:37.050
Son Le Hughes: Or the true Internet costs at 3.5% is still 100% but a bit 4.5% or more than 75% and 5.5% more will be 25% so on July 22 their toe into it costs a come out at 2.44% that mean the directorate authorized by double up in 100%.

681
01:42:15.900 --> 01:42:28.890
Son Le Hughes: And further up Sir or tier three the top 1% is 18.8 was the effort every dollar employees on that it will cost addicted $1 at some more.

682
01:42:30.270 --> 01:42:57.930
Son Le Hughes: This by any of it dropped a little bit due to so many reason and I already explained it in the prior board meeting, but I happy to have a special section with you, if you would like to understand why by end of 21 23% 4% compared to last biennium but you wanted to and 1.7% for up Sir.

683
01:42:59.340 --> 01:42:59.880
Son Le Hughes: So.

684
01:43:01.560 --> 01:43:02.790
Son Le Hughes: This one is.

685
01:43:04.170 --> 01:43:23.880
Son Le Hughes: When we have siri August 23 and August 19 will be the close of siri 21 2021 a and when does siri close Oregon PO will have a new rate for our victory and hopefully that rage will come to us in September.

686
01:43:25.020 --> 01:43:25.530
Son Le Hughes: So.

687
01:43:27.870 --> 01:43:39.990
Son Le Hughes: that's nasty to offer on our pension rate so Now let me present to you the resolution Oh, before that, did you have any question.

688
01:43:41.310 --> 01:43:42.540
Son Le Hughes: On that slide.

689
01:43:43.290 --> 01:43:45.540
Louis Taylor: I do, I do, I do have a question.

690
01:43:46.140 --> 01:43:49.230
Louis Taylor: Yes, my question is, as I looked at.

691
01:43:50.310 --> 01:43:53.460
Louis Taylor: The the bond that was issued for.

692
01:43:55.860 --> 01:44:12.720
Louis Taylor: 2022 I noticed that our percentage of contribution was either number one or number two in the entire state for funding purrs, and so I was just curious as to how we are one of the smaller districts.

693
01:44:13.230 --> 01:44:27.690
Louis Taylor: or miss a medium sized districts in the state, but yet we have one of the highest purse contribution percentages or any other school district Can you help me understand that, what are we doing different to escalate our purse contribution cost versus what other school districts are doing.

694
01:44:28.590 --> 01:44:42.030
Son Le Hughes: Well, I assume you are looking at the picture of total 22 scone big pitch the tone we go now for this cell phone is 660 million.

695
01:44:43.230 --> 01:44:46.530
Son Le Hughes: question of we have a 111 poison.

696
01:44:46.800 --> 01:44:55.830
Son Le Hughes: So we have a bit tongue in in that pool, and I think, not only because of the side of our district, but.

697
01:44:57.270 --> 01:45:08.250
Son Le Hughes: Because our school district along si they own a buy in that they own a day how are now decide account like two years ago when Paul Oregon.

698
01:45:10.590 --> 01:45:17.940
Son Le Hughes: Open decide to account with the matching 25% a lot of school districts participate in to that.

699
01:45:19.020 --> 01:45:30.840
Son Le Hughes: event, and we did not so that's why right now we are cap on late bloom we enter into the game, a little bit later compared to other school district.

700
01:45:31.230 --> 01:45:31.470
Okay.

701
01:45:32.550 --> 01:45:36.810
Son Le Hughes: yeah good question Thank you and and a very good observation to.

702
01:45:38.070 --> 01:45:38.280
yeah.

703
01:45:39.480 --> 01:45:41.040
Son Le Hughes: Any other question for me.

704
01:45:42.690 --> 01:45:51.360
Chelsea King: If it's okay what i'd like to do is just give a little bit of a synopsis sort of in the spirit of lay persons terms again.

705
01:45:52.530 --> 01:46:00.930
Chelsea King: about how we ended up with this resolution before us is this a good time to do that Dr us.

706
01:46:00.960 --> 01:46:02.310
Son Le Hughes: Yes, Tony.

707
01:46:02.700 --> 01:46:15.000
Chelsea King: yeah so forgive me if I tell you stuff you already know, but just in the spirit of a lot of work went into this resolution prior to tonight and here you are jumping into what for me as a complicated conversation.

708
01:46:16.260 --> 01:46:35.310
Chelsea King: You know kind of at the end and PR is, as you know, is a very big budgets commitment to the district and it's a challenge to a lot of public entities to fund the purse obligations, so this purse.

709
01:46:36.210 --> 01:46:45.870
Chelsea King: bond opportunity was first brought to our attention at least a year ago, maybe more than a year ago and we started to kind of get the.

710
01:46:46.440 --> 01:46:57.720
Chelsea King: Seed planted that this opportunity, would be coming and we engaged in some learning sessions with Dr Hughes and also with Piper sandler the board when I say we, I mean the board at the time.

711
01:46:58.530 --> 01:47:07.050
Chelsea King: asked a lot of questions of how it all works and why we would do it and the risks of doing it, the risks of not doing it and basically what this.

712
01:47:07.440 --> 01:47:17.700
Chelsea King: bond will do is pool our money, together with a lot of other school districts, which gives up and lay persons term like makes our money, my dear and.

713
01:47:18.210 --> 01:47:23.070
Chelsea King: allows us to you know earn this interest rate back, which will help fund.

714
01:47:23.790 --> 01:47:32.670
Chelsea King: Our purse obligations and by Sir Thompson if you want to jump in at any point, I know you were part of a lot of those learning sessions and conversations, but.

715
01:47:33.390 --> 01:47:42.690
Chelsea King: Basically that's like a layperson's terms for like how we ended up here i'm a little bit I guess surprised at how that interest rate.

716
01:47:43.140 --> 01:48:01.260
Chelsea King: coming in at a did, and you know the board's decision was at that rate than we would you know, to the full amount, and so there we have it, I think that that gives enough history at the high level to allow for any questions to come up if you have them.

717
01:48:02.700 --> 01:48:07.740
Chelsea King: or correct me if I said something wrong or fill in the blanks if I missed it an important detail.

718
01:48:09.420 --> 01:48:20.910
Son Le Hughes: This a wonderful information checking so just for your information in 2018 when I first joined the team at present to the board.

719
01:48:21.480 --> 01:48:27.990
Son Le Hughes: Information about pole barn a one on one and wiper Oregon pole barn get into deficits.

720
01:48:28.350 --> 01:48:42.000
Son Le Hughes: I still have that information so if any of you would like to listen to that again and understand why Oregon pole barn get into Oregon pole get into deficit and how we get an out of that.

721
01:48:42.930 --> 01:48:56.040
Son Le Hughes: i'm happy to present and then 2009 we present the cider cow what what more Member at that time again, because at that time Oregon pro have the cider cow.

722
01:48:56.820 --> 01:49:09.120
Son Le Hughes: You know, asking populace organization safety counties conducted Community college if we participate in to that side account, then they will match 25%.

723
01:49:09.480 --> 01:49:20.880
Son Le Hughes: But what that amount of money up contribution we won't help them to offer that for 20 years and, at that time, defining so for the district, they naturally.

724
01:49:22.260 --> 01:49:37.830
Son Le Hughes: Wealthy at that time, and when we're not ready to participate, so it took us another two year to help more study, what type of Sander and our born pole barn advisor.

725
01:49:38.730 --> 01:49:58.380
Son Le Hughes: to learn more about a pro and a con like what benefit worse if we go and participate in to this pole barn and whatnot if we're not so after several children what pipe assembler and deep dive into conversation with our advisor them or.

726
01:50:01.020 --> 01:50:10.740
Son Le Hughes: allow us to give us the direction to go forward, and here we are today getting close to the post barn on it is sown.

727
01:50:11.430 --> 01:50:27.990
Son Le Hughes: So now we get waiting for our guest Nathan do totally blows so before the data flow Seal, we have to pass the resolution we have to present the solution for both to approve to to move forward.

728
01:50:28.560 --> 01:50:34.140
Chelsea King: And thank you for that segue I think this will probably be a good time to get a emotion on the table.

729
01:50:35.280 --> 01:50:57.630
Son Le Hughes: Yes, yes, so with that in front of you is resolution number 21 2021 euro to this presser rules and is I consult and receive feedback from our auditor Oregon department of revenue and our legal counsel so tweet.

730
01:50:58.590 --> 01:51:05.760
Son Le Hughes: That previewed it resolution provide feedback and give me a tama to present it to you tonight.

731
01:51:07.710 --> 01:51:14.730
Son Le Hughes: So, in the resolution, the reason we do invest, because when I build a bar chart for fiscal year 2122.

732
01:51:15.030 --> 01:51:27.990
Son Le Hughes: I did not factor in this number, it has I don't know which number that we go to go for pole barn so I did not factor that into the budget document for fiscal year 2122.

733
01:51:28.320 --> 01:51:43.500
Son Le Hughes: So now we have to convert number we're saying 111.6 million that we will go for our poll bonds, so therefore that number is in Greece in the resource when it in here, it puts into resource.

734
01:51:44.190 --> 01:51:56.220

Son Le Hughes: So in this next items, I have three little things, the first thing that I would like to present to you as the funding source.

762
01:55:28.290 --> 01:55:44.610
Son Le Hughes: And then we'll go through the funding summary so you can understand our own financial picture out the district for fiscal year 2122 and last eight finance or for focus on general fund only.

763
01:55:46.080 --> 01:55:46.440
Son Le Hughes: Net.

764
01:55:49.350 --> 01:55:50.310
Son Le Hughes: Net places brace.

765
01:55:50.550 --> 01:56:01.500
Son Le Hughes: Automatic yeah so in here at the destination, we have a total of five fund in here I list out of four major fun here.

766
01:56:03.240 --> 01:56:23.130
Son Le Hughes: A special General one is the major funding data deterred health is a cow for the majority of our education on and support function are predicted it cover day to day activity and pay for all the salary of the staff in the district.

767
01:56:24.450 --> 01:56:34.980
Son Le Hughes: The second one is special revenue or you also hears from 200 that fun come from federal state and local resources.

768
01:56:35.400 --> 01:56:51.720
Son Le Hughes: These are the financial aspect, and to the school district, to help us carry out a special specific purpose for assemble when the say say we will try to support you what high school success here is the money for measure 98 or what.

769
01:56:53.340 --> 01:57:06.570
Son Le Hughes: covert then state will say we support you with extra money it costs so so we have so one Rwanda to Rotary so that kind of money concede a special revenue.

770
01:57:08.280 --> 01:57:24.870
Son Le Hughes: depth services this account for the resource and a payment for my long term damn set at the payment that we pay on principal and interest on the general obligation gap and the pension bond.

771
01:57:27.090 --> 01:57:38.850
Son Le Hughes: Capital project this this public health or financial risk resource that are quite to four major capital facility or project.

772
01:57:40.080 --> 01:57:53.250
Son Le Hughes: Last but not least, I did not have it in here is the Agency fun, this is the superintendent scholarship account to support high school students get a scholarship and going to college.

773
01:57:54.930 --> 01:57:55.320
Son Le Hughes: Net.

774
01:58:01.950 --> 01:58:07.110
Son Le Hughes: So this ego of view of the financial summary for the ticket or chat.

775
01:58:08.460 --> 01:58:37.170
Son Le Hughes: So on the left hand side under often you see turn around can specify revenue depth service capital and trust agency fund here is that doubt that budget for fiscal year 2122 so under 200 on fun, we have a total budget of 123.7 million or 45% of our offer on top on budget.

776
01:58:38.610 --> 01:58:49.920
Son Le Hughes: Special revenue special revenue is 33.3 million of 12% special revenues a Julie, let this number.

777
01:58:50.340 --> 01:59:14.880
Son Le Hughes: This number is based on our best information that we have at that time we put the budget to get there, so that number is festival at the at the estimate for when we build a budget depth services 12% of the top on budget capital conduction 31% and the rest is just an agency fund.

778
01:59:16.230 --> 01:59:34.230
Son Le Hughes: On this column is show you that I doubt that by chance that we have for fiscal year 2021 So you can see a little bit comparison why the this year's a higher than this year, this year, more than this year and just for your information.

779
01:59:35.670 --> 01:59:46.950
Son Le Hughes: We have the state school fun that we receive from Oregon Department of Education it come in do it posted under general fun.

780
01:59:47.430 --> 02:00:06.150
Son Le Hughes: And the reason why you see in this year 2122 we have 120 3.7 million versus 120 7.5 million for last year's is because, when the state, the state budget based on biennium so.

781
02:00:06.990 --> 02:00:24.030
Son Le Hughes: You, the percentage of 4951 for sample like if the state health Nigerian than 49% of that will allocate to the first year 51% of that allocate to the second year.

782
02:00:24.570 --> 02:00:52.470
Son Le Hughes: So, because this year is enter into the biennium of 2123 so basically the first year of the biennium because of the 49% after school fun that why it looks like our revenue in general fun a little bit less than the revenue that will receive in the last by any of our fiscal year 1921.

783
02:00:53.670 --> 02:00:54.600
Son Le Hughes: Is that my son.

784
02:00:57.540 --> 02:00:58.050
Son Le Hughes: Okay.

785
02:00:59.340 --> 02:01:03.210
Son Le Hughes: If you have any question for me on this slide before more than.

786
02:01:03.690 --> 02:01:09.330
Louis Taylor: I do have a question in general, when you talk about the special fun and you talk about the general fun.

787
02:01:10.740 --> 02:01:25.920
Louis Taylor: I think some of the information that goes out and that the public is reading, especially when we're talking about so funds or the SI K funds and sometimes the district has a tendency to move those special funds or other funds into the general fund the public has a.

788
02:01:27.870 --> 02:01:28.710
Louis Taylor: How do I say this.

789
02:01:31.230 --> 02:01:37.260
Louis Taylor: let's just say a mistrust of when funds that have been allocated, whether it be for coven services or.

790
02:01:38.700 --> 02:01:47.820
Louis Taylor: or for the investment account of students and they get moved into the general fund there becomes this sense of distrust in the district or lack of transparency.

791
02:01:48.090 --> 02:01:51.960
Louis Taylor: And a lot of the public thinks that those funds are being used to fund purse.

792
02:01:52.410 --> 02:02:03.630
Louis Taylor: And so, is there a way as a district and i've seen material that is pretty transparent into shows how that money is being used once it's transferred into the general fund.

793
02:02:04.140 --> 02:02:11.010
Louis Taylor: However, the general public doesn't go to the depths that I go to i'm a finance guy so that's what I do.

794
02:02:11.520 --> 02:02:17.370
Louis Taylor: But is there a way that you can help kind of muddy the waters that when you take money from.

795
02:02:17.880 --> 02:02:26.400
Louis Taylor: The special fund or funds that have been designated for a specific area and you throw them into the general general fund it automatically puts a defensive.

796
02:02:26.730 --> 02:02:42.390
Louis Taylor: position on the public so Can you help us understand how we're accounting for that is that money being used for the right sources and then, how do we communicate that out as a district, so that our community has faith that we're being good shepherds of those funds.

797
02:02:43.230 --> 02:02:56.190
Son Le Hughes: Yes, thank you so much for your question and to be clarifies and verifies that we don't throw this vessel on revenue into the general fund.

798
02:02:56.790 --> 02:03:09.150
Son Le Hughes: We set up the fund for us so every time we'd receive money from special revenue later so money or si as a measure 9098.

799
02:03:09.570 --> 02:03:26.850
Son Le Hughes: Any funding bayside gen con week we at a business office we create a cow for it it's under 200 like, for example, so one so route one will receive 450,000.

800
02:03:27.390 --> 02:03:44.700
Son Le Hughes: we create a fun, a call to do euro so that fun any staff in the business office when when any board member Community Member auditor Department of Education when they audit our book and they say.

801
02:03:45.510 --> 02:04:00.840
Son Le Hughes: We gave you 450,000 for so one show us where you post, the money and how you spend it will be able anyone in our office, be able to run the report judah a cow cost to do euro.

802
02:04:01.380 --> 02:04:16.860
Son Le Hughes: showing up the top on budget 450,000 and then in the detail as list out what we pay for that, based on the narrative guide on that or D allow us, they for sample.

803
02:04:17.820 --> 02:04:30.270
Son Le Hughes: What the sro one or the say a support coven you can use this money to pay for PT me personal protective equipment, so we help item.

804
02:04:31.500 --> 02:04:36.180
Son Le Hughes: list out with we spend exactly based on their requirement.

805
02:04:37.320 --> 02:04:49.080
Son Le Hughes: So how do we receive 1.7 million we create a fund it costs to 72 and we track that money, so we have 271 point 7.

806
02:04:49.440 --> 02:05:01.230
Son Le Hughes: million and then based on the application that we send to all the because when we send an application to all the we list out the activity that we.

807
02:05:01.590 --> 02:05:10.500
Son Le Hughes: How we utilize that fund soda the expenditure detail expenditure match exactly because when we done.

808
02:05:11.220 --> 02:05:25.350
Son Le Hughes: To enter the US when I blame the money from odd, I have to send a report to them and under did trip for for for are there, additional money in this special revenue, we when we ask for money.

809
02:05:25.950 --> 02:05:45.930
Son Le Hughes: When I say we give you 1.7 million faster so to do so when we submit the claiming we we say we spend seven 1.7 million, and we would like you to give us that money we have to provide a detail a specter report.

810
02:05:46.590 --> 02:05:52.890
Son Le Hughes: was exactly how much we spent in which items so it's a long report that we have to do that.

811
02:05:53.250 --> 02:05:53.700
Son Le Hughes: So I.

812
02:05:53.760 --> 02:06:03.360
Son Le Hughes: don't feel for the information, but I would record a separately and to verify with them throw it into our general fun.

813
02:06:03.690 --> 02:06:07.170
Louis Taylor: Right, well, I asked that question, Dr Hughes, not for my own.

814
02:06:08.190 --> 02:06:17.160
Louis Taylor: confidence and how you operate and manage your budget, but I asked that question for the Community, so that they can have a better understanding of.

815
02:06:17.580 --> 02:06:26.100
Louis Taylor: What entails when funds are being allocated towards certain uses that it will kind of help them understand that.

816
02:06:26.520 --> 02:06:36.900
Louis Taylor: you're not just throwing it towards funding purrs you're not just throwing it towards some negotiation with the Union, but the public doesn't know what they don't know right and so that we.

817
02:06:37.710 --> 02:06:47.370
Louis Taylor: You know, explain it to them so that they understand that there's more to it than just trying to siphon off the fun first, so I just thank you for the explanation, and I think that helps a lot.

818
02:06:47.640 --> 02:06:52.470
Son Le Hughes: Yes, I appreciate your question any auto question for me.

819
02:06:56.100 --> 02:07:08.220
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: I will say that I also appreciate that question director Taylor and it gets me thinking about how do we proactively communicate in layman's terms you know about the budget.

820
02:07:09.630 --> 02:07:20.610
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And it it's challenging because we could send out messages, but there's also is the Community looking for that message When are they looking for that message.

821
02:07:21.570 --> 02:07:36.240
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Other than I would just reiterate for those watching at home that our budget book has to by law be posted on the website and you'll see that you know general fund is one section, we have to keep general Fund money clearly allocated their.

822
02:07:37.410 --> 02:07:43.110
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Special revenue is another section, we have to keep the money from those grants and special revenue.

823
02:07:43.650 --> 02:07:57.270
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: allocated to those amounts and when people want to do a deeper dive they can go straight, for example, to that page on the student investment account in special revenue and see how all that fund is allocated so.

824
02:07:58.290 --> 02:08:06.810
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: It it's always a wonder for me on how we proactively educate the Community are they interested, are they listening for it.

825
02:08:07.290 --> 02:08:20.880
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And sometimes it takes a situation or a story to then prompt a response and maybe it's reactive Lee we educate, as well as much as we can proactively so.

826
02:08:21.720 --> 02:08:28.020
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: I appreciate you asking, because we do have an audience tonight, I still see 68 participants and hopefully.

827
02:08:28.440 --> 02:08:44.550
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: they've been assured that we have strict laws and guidance that do not allow us to move money between those accounts, and we also have annual auditing that would not allow us to miss spend accounts to both the state and our local auditors, so I really appreciate that.

828
02:08:45.390 --> 02:08:48.450
Louis Taylor: If you're welcome, and I think it's important that, as we.

829
02:08:48.900 --> 02:08:59.460
Louis Taylor: You know, ask for future bonds potentially I don't know that we will we won't that the Community understands that the money is being used for the kids and not some other ulterior motive.

830
02:09:00.390 --> 02:09:08.400
Louis Taylor: Because, ultimately, we all care about our children in the school district, and we want to make sure that we're giving resources for them that it's being allocated to them.

831
02:09:08.610 --> 02:09:18.750
Louis Taylor: yeah so, the more we explain the better we are, and the more humble that we can be when we asked that maybe they'll be gracious enough to give absolutely.

832
02:09:19.620 --> 02:09:28.920
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And that they can be assured, there are laws that protect that that we have to operate within fiscal laws that are set up to guard against that type of behavior and so.

833
02:09:29.340 --> 02:09:39.780
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: It doesn't happen, because we have laws that won't allow it to, and we have auditors that make sure accounts are set up exactly for the purpose that they're intended so yeah.

834
02:09:40.080 --> 02:09:54.120
Son Le Hughes: So besides our auditor give an ice on russ we also have the Oregon Department of Education each year when we complete the chat, we have to send it to them for review and approve.

835
02:09:54.600 --> 02:10:15.360
Son Le Hughes: And then, last but not least, we also go out for the budget, a word what a GMO a so they self at another party to look at our budget and review, because they have something criteria to reveal the budget in order to get us to distinguish but yet our world.

836
02:10:17.430 --> 02:10:20.610
Son Le Hughes: so wonderful question, I appreciate that yep.

837
02:10:21.630 --> 02:10:27.330
Son Le Hughes: So, moving on to the net items at the general fund financial report.

838
02:10:29.130 --> 02:10:33.750
Son Le Hughes: Can I have that PowerPoint okay wonderful so.

839
02:10:35.190 --> 02:10:48.360
Son Le Hughes: This financial report summary focus on general only this report present to you, under the format of the income statement is show all the revenue up here.

840
02:10:49.410 --> 02:10:59.790
Son Le Hughes: And then up expenditure down here, so the income statement, if we take the revenue minus up the expenditure, give us the end infant ballin.

841
02:11:01.290 --> 02:11:11.370
Son Le Hughes: So in here under the about that this adapters it mean the chat that board member adopt on tune so each.

842
02:11:12.030 --> 02:11:23.610
Son Le Hughes: fiscal year the birth chat must be adopted by the board by June, no later by June 30 in order for the addicted to spend money on July 1.

843
02:11:24.150 --> 02:11:33.510
Son Le Hughes: So, last year the board adapt the butter on June and it purchase put together we start a but just time from January.

844
02:11:34.020 --> 02:11:48.600
Son Le Hughes: out a way to May and then Budget Committee approve it, and then bought it in tune so at that time, based on the best financial information that the business Office have.

845
02:11:49.260 --> 02:12:13.140
Son Le Hughes: We put together the budget so we asked them at the beginning fun ball and for this year was a dead end and fund balance for last year is about 9.3 million and then property tax for the point 8 million, and so on, so the total revenues a 120 3.7 million.

846
02:12:14.460 --> 02:12:21.420
Son Le Hughes: So far, for the month of July and August I did not make any adjustment, there is no order.

847
02:12:22.050 --> 02:12:37.320
Son Le Hughes: indicator out there does say we have more money in property tax, so we have more money in Internet or anything so no adjustment, so the what can backtrack right now is still exactly the same at data that part yet.

848
02:12:39.270 --> 02:12:50.010
Son Le Hughes: On this column is year and protection, this information over here is like for me to look at up this number of the revenue that.

849
02:12:50.580 --> 02:13:14.430
Son Le Hughes: coming in, on the expenditure desk we're going to spend and see do we have if I say more money coming in, or if I see more expenditure coming out, then I will post in the year and protection, so I can aware you about what going on, so this month, I only have one item to.

850
02:13:17.340 --> 02:13:22.290
Son Le Hughes: present it to you with is the beginning fund balance.

851
02:13:23.790 --> 02:13:34.710
Son Le Hughes: Because that 9.3 million is the estimate number that I have when I build a Bot chat back in March and then now the year say close.

852
02:13:35.190 --> 02:13:44.580
Son Le Hughes: And auditor on site what you know now book, so no more expenditure allowed to post in the system anymore, so I am.

853
02:13:45.450 --> 02:14:07.290
Son Le Hughes: I want to report to you that our beginning financial analysis 16.5 million is that up 9.3 the different is because we have so around two and so route three that came into very late in March and they came in on march 28.

854
02:14:08.430 --> 02:14:25.680
Son Le Hughes: will say the butter document already put together to present and at that time, I did not factor in so route to and route to a so that we brought together, it gave us a total of 6.2 million.

855
02:14:26.880 --> 02:14:39.840
Son Le Hughes: One 1.2 million up so money go to support nutrition services and community services because over the last 17 months community services how no.

856
02:14:40.320 --> 02:14:59.730
Son Le Hughes: grant we don't write out a building to Community Member, but we have to keep staff on site and to do all the work to support the dictate and then for nutrition services, we have to provide a different type of meal plan for students, so it cost us more money.

857
02:15:00.750 --> 02:15:01.140
Louis Taylor: Actually.

858
02:15:01.680 --> 02:15:03.720
Son Le Hughes: there remained in a 5 million.

859
02:15:05.040 --> 02:15:19.380
Son Le Hughes: it's a big giant up there in here and don't miss understand that 5 million that we're suffering to general Fund now have that because so so do, and so we allow us to.

860
02:15:20.730 --> 02:15:30.030
Son Le Hughes: End application that we say we use this money to support the online picture to support the tuition.

861
02:15:31.170 --> 02:15:49.470
Son Le Hughes: fees that last offered a covert therefore assemble we have football IQ get we have theater ticket we don't have that income coming in, and then the online teaching or the digital curriculum on that.

862
02:15:50.550 --> 02:16:13.140
Son Le Hughes: So if we don't have the ESA money, then we have to do our order fun like we have to do, or about general fun, we have to you our contingency Fund to cover it, but because we have so, so we should that expenditure qualify into so narrative to spend for that.

863
02:16:14.040 --> 02:16:14.400
Louis Taylor: And I say.

864
02:16:14.820 --> 02:16:15.150
there.

865
02:16:16.170 --> 02:16:27.210
Louis Taylor: i'm sorry that I think it's important to that people understand that, because you get that extra money and we didn't get ticket sales from sports and all those other things that allow so also allow you to keep.

866
02:16:27.780 --> 02:16:43.290
Louis Taylor: The expenses to participate in sports now we're going back to school level or you didn't get that extra money that that cost would I would assume would have passed on to the general public, who have student athletes who have to pay fees Is that correct or is that not correct.

867
02:16:45.630 --> 02:17:11.580
Son Le Hughes: If we don't have to sm money, yes, we would not have this megan and fund balance equal it up all of our money in general fund for last year, so we will carry over live with now this point 2 million from so then we only have about 9.3 million carry forward from last year to this year.

868
02:17:12.870 --> 02:17:15.570
Louis Taylor: In my last question i'm sorry this is just kind of my area.

869
02:17:17.190 --> 02:17:21.960
Louis Taylor: in higher education, if we had a surplus of funds in our beginning balance was too high.

870
02:17:22.590 --> 02:17:37.710
Louis Taylor: Does that beginning balance affect how much the state will actually fund the district, because in higher education, what they say Okay, I see you saying know what happens if you have a surplus of funds, they say, well, you must not need all of what you have right.

871
02:17:38.160 --> 02:17:50.310
Louis Taylor: And so, because we show the surplus or this this ending fund balance that is higher, some of it is so some of it is maybe money that we were just fiscally responsible with it doesn't affect what you receive next year, does it.

872
02:17:51.180 --> 02:18:05.610
Son Le Hughes: Correct but not it not affect and then the end and fund banner 9.3 million for last year carry estimate carry into this year or 16.5 million it not height at all because.

873
02:18:06.210 --> 02:18:24.090
Son Le Hughes: Their recommendation is between 10 to 15% or less, or at least one month of the operation budget, so if our total expenditure is 119 million, then we divide that by 12 months so.

874
02:18:24.420 --> 02:18:35.100
Son Le Hughes: So we should have that at our end and fund balance so right now, even though, what I you know 16 points by million for beacon and fun barrel and.

875
02:18:35.550 --> 02:18:56.850
Son Le Hughes: It gives us the total revenues of 130 million our top on expenditures is 119 million give us a 11 million estimate and then fund balance for this year was it only 9% and that's a not tie at all it's not going to say to high.

876
02:18:58.110 --> 02:19:10.140
Son Le Hughes: The State give us the money, based on the enrollment it caught ADM so it based on our enrollment not based on the beginning fund balance.

877
02:19:11.010 --> 02:19:12.510
Son Le Hughes: yeah Thank you.

878
02:19:12.600 --> 02:19:13.050
Louis Taylor: repeat your.

879
02:19:13.080 --> 02:19:27.030
Son Le Hughes: Question yeah left that so now here, you know in business people always say tell me the bottom line was the your bottom line right, so the bottom line when we build a budget.

880
02:19:27.510 --> 02:19:40.350
Son Le Hughes: Look at it 4.7 million estimate for the end of unbalanced for fiscal year 2122 what down know and we have so two and three coming in.

881
02:19:41.010 --> 02:19:50.550
Son Le Hughes: So this is very low, for the dictator our side to help to a point 8,000,003.8% at our end and fund balance.

882
02:19:51.450 --> 02:20:16.650
Son Le Hughes: But because we have, so to nsf three come in and it gives us, and then we have saving they I mentioned in my memo to you, we have saving from purchasing service with a the electric the hitting the colon prepare and men and and then some of the bus transportation do so, we save on that.

883
02:20:18.270 --> 02:20:24.870
Son Le Hughes: plus some substitute an attitude the contract because 15 online.

884
02:20:25.950 --> 02:20:41.970
Son Le Hughes: A picture not require much column for some so we'd be able to save more so because of bass, we have the estimate kingdom fund balance for fiscal year 2122 at 11.8 million or neighbor same.

885
02:20:44.460 --> 02:20:45.000
Chelsea King: alright.

886
02:20:45.600 --> 02:20:47.820
Son Le Hughes: Thanks, all I have for you tonight.

887
02:20:48.900 --> 02:21:02.160
Chelsea King: Okay Thank you so much, and thanks for the great questions and we'll move on to the next agenda item proposed additional staff development day and i'd like to hand the floor over to Dr Ludwig.

888
02:21:04.440 --> 02:21:09.630
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Thank you chair king and i'm just going to speak briefly about this proposal.

889
02:21:10.710 --> 02:21:28.230
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then really turn it over for discussion with board members, but I just want to double check when you left the boardroom this evening I tried to make sure that you had on your pile of things a packet that looked like this, because I was going to pass it out to you, yes, good.

890
02:21:29.580 --> 02:21:37.080
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And the hope you grabbed it with your things, so this is a just a packet you can refer to as i'm talking, I might say what's in that packet.

891
02:21:38.490 --> 02:21:41.070
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: You can just undo the paperclip and then it stapled there.

892
02:21:43.050 --> 02:21:50.100
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So you had a memo from me kind of outlining the purpose for coming forward with this proposal.

893
02:21:50.940 --> 02:21:56.550
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: As well as hopefully addressing some of the questions that I predicted may come up for your discussion.

894
02:21:57.510 --> 02:22:07.890
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: I just want you to know that this came forward, I want to thank director Taylor for meeting with me a number of weeks ago checking in and then asking one of the questions around.

895
02:22:08.670 --> 02:22:15.570
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Would it be helpful for staff at the beginning of the year, to have an additional staff development day than typical.

896
02:22:16.290 --> 02:22:25.680
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: At that time I told him actually it's what we did last year we were under unique circumstances going into CDs and an online Program.

897
02:22:26.010 --> 02:22:33.300
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And we chose to add an additional staff development day in August, for our licensed staff so that they could.

898
02:22:34.110 --> 02:22:48.420
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: have more time to learn about zoom and Google classroom and set up all that they needed to, in addition to the typical three days that we usually set aside for classroom preparation and teaming and setting up and it was very valuable.

899
02:22:49.980 --> 02:22:58.200
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: When director Taylor asked will be helpful, again as we're on this side of the pandemic but but going into now a year, where everyone is returning.

900
02:22:59.700 --> 02:23:06.420
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Of course I think if you ever ask a teacher, could you use some more time and christy smiling she knows.

901
02:23:07.110 --> 02:23:19.980
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We always say yes, we could use more time and then we're also cognizant that we have this balance of time with students and then time to prepare for students and how to make sure that we're using each of those responsibly.

902
02:23:21.780 --> 02:23:30.810
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: In considering director taylor's question and then considering the last few weeks, and especially our leadership retreat, it became more clear that.

903
02:23:31.020 --> 02:23:37.050
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: This is another year, where our staff could use an additional day in preparation for students.

904
02:23:37.380 --> 02:23:45.750
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And it became even more clear during our leadership retreat If you recall the slides that I showed my superintendent report, I talked about leading with purpose.

905
02:23:46.200 --> 02:23:52.740
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And we spent about a half day as district leaders looking at care connection and community.

906
02:23:53.190 --> 02:24:00.420
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And thinking about what does it mean when everyone comes back together from wherever they've been dispersed and their experience from last year.

907
02:24:00.720 --> 02:24:09.870
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We have students and staff who either lost family members to Kobe or experienced incredible trauma through it or felt disconnected.

908
02:24:10.500 --> 02:24:18.450
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And coming back to school with everyone together deserves the type of time and attention to rebuild care.

909
02:24:18.900 --> 02:24:30.270
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: connection and community, we did that, at our leadership retreat we set aside a whole morning, just to process what we've been through and to think about how we would lead through the year.

910
02:24:30.750 --> 02:24:38.850
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: we'd like to have that amount of time now with our staff, if it was important enough for leaders to dedicate half a day.

911
02:24:39.270 --> 02:25:02.070
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: For the 70 of us to do we'd like to think about got 1000 employees can we give and should we give a day for staff to think about how they make sure that we set plans in place and systems in place so that our students feel reconnected and that there's care and Community focus.

912
02:25:03.180 --> 02:25:12.780
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Not long after our leadership retreat the Oregon Department of Education sent out Also a recommendation it's like they had attended our retreat.

913
02:25:13.830 --> 02:25:27.840
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: In fact, they use the same phrase, and what you have in your packet you find the first page is the PowerPoint that you receive from the Oregon Department of Education, so it starts, it looks like this.

914
02:25:28.920 --> 02:25:39.240
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And it outlines to school districts, a strong recommendation to support the mental health of Oregon schools building care connection and community.

915
02:25:39.870 --> 02:25:49.290
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: talks about recognizing the range of emotions students and staff may have coming back giving time to support health and well being as we kick off the New Year.

916
02:25:49.740 --> 02:26:02.160
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Focusing on mental health, promoting activities in the classroom culturally responsive strategies that individually that recognize individuals experiences and then, as you continue to flip through it, you can see the importance.

917
02:26:03.840 --> 02:26:15.150
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: of how we attend to mental health, and then Oregon department education says start the year off right and then and invite school districts, to really begin the year with care and connection.

918
02:26:15.840 --> 02:26:24.030
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And even a suggestion of providing one full week for staff and administrators before school starts now we we can't adjust for a full week.

919
02:26:24.540 --> 02:26:35.460
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: But certainly I would hope we could give a day, in addition to the three that we have, and then a first full week of school for students and families really devoted to Karen connection meaning.

920
02:26:36.210 --> 02:26:45.570
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: take time to really make sure that you've got systems and processes in place that first week that students are reconnecting and don't just assume that on day one.

921
02:26:46.110 --> 02:26:53.970
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: they're ready to start jumping into a chemistry lesson, but that you've also talked about coming back to school and what that means.

922
02:26:55.590 --> 02:27:06.090
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: on the front page, I think, is the important question if we gave this day what might that look like what does it mean for teachers to spend a day.

923
02:27:06.480 --> 02:27:16.740
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: devoted towards thinking about care connection and community and on that front page is a slide that what I would have shown in the boardroom it's actually.

924
02:27:17.430 --> 02:27:28.740
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: curtis if you still have my PowerPoint after I had that last slide That said, questions or comments this slide comes after it, if we want to put it up, but you also have it as a hard copy as board members.

925
02:27:29.700 --> 02:27:42.420
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: But what we would propose during that day is to first of all take a look of data that we have, we were able to give the panorama survey that's so that's a different slide that was not, be it.

926
02:27:46.650 --> 02:27:49.020
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: That looks like somebody's email i'm.

927
02:27:50.340 --> 02:27:54.330
Louis Taylor: gonna take your dog to the clean to the to the.

928
02:27:54.360 --> 02:27:55.980
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Guy that's not my desktop there.

929
02:27:57.690 --> 02:27:58.650
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: that's curtis's.

930
02:28:01.710 --> 02:28:02.130
Curtis Nelson: Oh.

931
02:28:03.240 --> 02:28:03.930
Curtis Nelson: OK sorry.

932
02:28:05.370 --> 02:28:07.050
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We are chuckling at yeah.

933
02:28:07.890 --> 02:28:08.760
Curtis Nelson: I was wondering.

934
02:28:09.330 --> 02:28:11.040
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: If that's your desktop there so.

935
02:28:11.070 --> 02:28:11.640
Curtis Nelson: yeah sorry.

936
02:28:12.330 --> 02:28:12.840
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: it's okay.

937
02:28:13.260 --> 02:28:14.100
Curtis Nelson: i'm all fine.

938
02:28:14.610 --> 02:28:19.050
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: yeah it's right there, we can see it just got to get it full screen.

939
02:28:22.470 --> 02:28:24.210
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: or it's Okay, we don't have to show it.

940
02:28:24.240 --> 02:28:26.100
Curtis Nelson: No, I just was showing the wrong screen i'm.

941
02:28:26.730 --> 02:28:27.690
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Because you've got the.

942
02:28:29.160 --> 02:28:30.270
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: you've got the hard copy.

943
02:28:33.090 --> 02:28:34.470
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: yeah keep going.

944
02:28:37.680 --> 02:28:43.140
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: with Asia, there we go okay now people at home can see what board members are looking at, so thank you, Chris.

945
02:28:45.450 --> 02:28:46.740
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So last year.

946
02:28:47.730 --> 02:28:48.630
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We lost it again.

947
02:28:48.930 --> 02:28:49.440
Curtis Nelson: Well, you know.

948
02:28:52.350 --> 02:29:00.930
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Last year, even with online learning and moving to hybrid we did give the panorama survey, which is a social emotional assessment survey.

949
02:29:01.260 --> 02:29:10.590
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Because we wanted to check in with our students to see how they were doing and they could let us know where they were feeling connected where they might have felt disconnected what they were concerned about.

950
02:29:10.980 --> 02:29:20.550
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then school leaders and teachers were able to use that data throughout the year to adjust ways to maybe make more home visits to do more.

951
02:29:21.240 --> 02:29:28.800
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: connection work counselors looked at the data and and then reassess after we we did some strategies for connecting more with students.

952
02:29:29.730 --> 02:29:40.110
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: gave the survey again and we're able to see did it make a difference, did our students feel more included more connected where they're more relationships that they were able to point to do they feel less isolated.

953
02:29:41.820 --> 02:29:52.500
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We have that data from the spring we'd like to take a look at it again and consider how we could use that and strengthen our supports and our strategies going into the year.

954
02:29:53.850 --> 02:30:02.490
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then we can give the panorama survey again we've got some new staff who would need some training, so we could envision part of that day being.

955
02:30:02.820 --> 02:30:10.500
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: really taking a look at that panorama survey tool all that it can provide for us in terms of getting data from our students.

956
02:30:11.100 --> 02:30:20.880
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then, what do you do once you get the data So how do you build care and connection and we've got a number of new staff so we want to make sure we review some of our tools and processes.

957
02:30:22.140 --> 02:30:22.920
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We have.

958
02:30:23.970 --> 02:30:36.090
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Quite a robust tool called circle forward that really talks about creating connective ways in the classroom for every teacher whether you're teaching ap bio or you're teaching kindergarten.

959
02:30:36.660 --> 02:30:48.540
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: or or sixth grade theater or orchestra, how do you build community in your in that learning environment in a proactive way so that when there's.

960
02:30:49.650 --> 02:30:52.620
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: A trauma or a concern or.

961
02:30:54.270 --> 02:31:10.920
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Or the Community group has feels fragile that you have systems in place for students to process and think through it so not everyone has been trained or know some of these instructional strategies some time to review circle forward and how we use circles in our classrooms.

962
02:31:11.940 --> 02:31:21.000
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We also have in your packet if you flip past ODS presentation you'll get to a page that looks like this the seven components.

963
02:31:22.110 --> 02:31:25.770
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: This is a framework that we put together as a district around.

964
02:31:26.460 --> 02:31:32.970
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Building inclusive and equitable learning communities, again we have a number of new staff and the last couple years so unpacking.

965
02:31:33.270 --> 02:31:45.000
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: This framework so that teachers are thinking mindfully about how they create classroom communities and routines and rituals and processes that draw students to feel more to get there and connected.

966
02:31:45.480 --> 02:31:48.660
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Even thinking about the physical space again in the classroom environment.

967
02:31:49.380 --> 02:31:58.260
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Culturally responsive strategies and then remembering that relationships are the key and so, how do you build strong relationships with students, what does it mean to.

968
02:31:58.590 --> 02:32:11.010
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: care more about the students than the content, you know we love our content we want students to learn the standards, but they learn when they feel there's a genuine relationship So how do you build a relationship with students so reviewing those kinds of strategies.

969
02:32:11.520 --> 02:32:22.170
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: we're all reading a text now called equity by design so thinking about strategies in the classroom that promote strong relationships and you got a copy of this tonight, hopefully, you took it with you.

970
02:32:22.710 --> 02:32:30.300
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Along with the new board members got leading for all also around inclusive classroom So those are some texts that we're going to come back to.

971
02:32:31.110 --> 02:32:41.250
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So, so when we think about that as well as we have curriculum in the K through eight schools it's called second steps in the high school.

972
02:32:41.640 --> 02:32:49.050
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: We have curriculum called school connect that some people gotten trained in, but we need to expand on that and then sources of strength so again.

973
02:32:49.680 --> 02:32:57.270
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: there's some new curriculum that will be beneficial to review with staff who are new to us these last two years, but also a good review for all staff.

974
02:32:58.020 --> 02:33:06.150
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So when we think about an added day PR director taylor's question there's a resounding yes, we could use it.

975
02:33:07.020 --> 02:33:17.490
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Going into this unique year when people are coming back to school from varied experiences for some they may have been mostly positive for others, they may have been.

976
02:33:18.360 --> 02:33:26.190
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: varying in terms of emotions and some for some students felt it was a last year in terms of social emotional connection or pure connection.

977
02:33:26.610 --> 02:33:32.610
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And they're really craving that back in the classroom and we need to make sure that we've got good systems and structures in place.

978
02:33:33.150 --> 02:33:42.960
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: So while we have three days already in the calendar, those are already allocated time for teachers to physically set up their classroom to do teaming and lesson planning.

979
02:33:43.470 --> 02:33:55.110
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: To do some work by principles but we'd love to have this day per Oregon department education recommendation and what's become clear to us over the last few weeks that it's very needed.

980
02:33:55.770 --> 02:34:12.450
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: To have this extra day and i'll pause there, because what you have in the memo are some of your frequently asked questions, perhaps as to what would it cost when when would we add this day, and we need to adjust the calendar so i'll leave it there, and just see what your questions are.

981
02:34:14.010 --> 02:34:23.130
Chelsea King: Thank you and Dr Ludwig and before we get into any kind of questions or discussion it's worth seeing if we have a motion and a second.

982
02:34:25.590 --> 02:34:38.100
Louis Taylor: I move that we had a district staff development day on September 7 to allow our staff time to review the data and resources available in order to plan and prepare for.

983
02:34:38.580 --> 02:34:49.530
Louis Taylor: A return to school that fosters and maintains care connection and community, as recommended by our district leaders, as well as the Oregon Department of Education this motion includes amending the.

984
02:34:51.840 --> 02:35:02.340
Louis Taylor: district calendar have the first day start on September 8 and the last day conclude on June 20 2022.

985
02:35:04.170 --> 02:35:04.830
Kelly Sloop: A second.

986
02:35:05.790 --> 02:35:11.340
Chelsea King: Okay director Taylor mixed emotion and director sloop makes the second, and we can have discussion.

987
02:35:15.150 --> 02:35:24.630
Louis Taylor: I just would like to add, thank you, Dr ludwick for all of your preparation and all the things that you presented, I just know that.

988
02:35:25.770 --> 02:35:32.910
Louis Taylor: They as needed and i'll just tell a personal story, and I know a lot of us have had personal sufferings throughout this time.

989
02:35:33.300 --> 02:35:42.450
Louis Taylor: And many of us are not in a position where we want to disclose some of the suffering that we've gone through just for the sake that we all want to make it feel like we got it all together.

990
02:35:42.810 --> 02:35:50.550
Louis Taylor: Right, well, I can tell you, as a board member my family didn't have it all together and i'm just being fully transparent my daughters had a really tough time.

991
02:35:51.000 --> 02:36:05.640
Louis Taylor: And it's tough, as I thought they were they weren't and it meant counseling for my family medical bills, it meant a lot of different things, and my kids are good, students and at one point, both of my kids at straight f's.

992
02:36:06.720 --> 02:36:09.600
Louis Taylor: And both of my daughters have been straight a students from day one.

993
02:36:10.140 --> 02:36:20.400
Louis Taylor: And so I can say that humbly knowing that my kids are very intelligent and it had nothing to do with their intelligence and it had everything to do with their mental capacity to deal with what they had to go through.

994
02:36:20.910 --> 02:36:30.750
Louis Taylor: And the loss of human connection the loss of seeing their teachers every data loss of walking in from elementary school to middle school, the loss of walking out of middle school in the high school.

995
02:36:31.050 --> 02:36:38.400
Louis Taylor: And still to this day, my sixth graders never seen at creek other than to visit her sister my sophomore has never seen Westland high school.

996
02:36:38.820 --> 02:36:51.900
Louis Taylor: Other than to attend a game when she was younger and so the Community connections that I made throughout my campaign, I heard many similar stories that were much more horrific than mine.

997
02:36:52.590 --> 02:37:00.660
Louis Taylor: And some of those stories came from our own staff we have relationships with staff that work at our schools and their kids are going through similar things.

998
02:37:01.140 --> 02:37:07.800
Louis Taylor: Whether they say it or not, there's conflicts there with their Union their job and their family.

999
02:37:08.760 --> 02:37:14.430
Louis Taylor: And I think that to give one more day for the simple sake of all the things that we've heard about.

1000
02:37:15.390 --> 02:37:27.120
Louis Taylor: mental and social emotional learning for our teachers to become you know more, I guess, educated on how they handle that there's gonna be a lot of kids in those classrooms that are not ready.

1001
02:37:27.660 --> 02:37:35.610
Louis Taylor: And they're going to be sitting in front of one teacher and that teacher is going to be sitting in front of 25 kids and is he or she equipped.

1002
02:37:36.150 --> 02:37:42.780
Louis Taylor: To deal with the emotions that they're going to experience that they've never seen before, and I don't think that they are and that's not any fault of theirs.

1003
02:37:43.350 --> 02:37:51.420
Louis Taylor: i'm not trained on it you're not trained on it, so why not give them a day that's all I have to say, and I think it would benefit our children, our staff.

1004
02:37:51.870 --> 02:38:07.230
Louis Taylor: And our Community, to know that we're trying to shepherd their children back into an environment that they've been out of for more than a year or more for some of us so that's my only thing I have to say and that's why I moved to approve it and that's it okay.

1005
02:38:07.380 --> 02:38:08.850
Chelsea King: Thank you, Director Taylor.

1006
02:38:11.400 --> 02:38:15.840
Chelsea King: director sloop are you going to look I saw the like this are you.

1007
02:38:16.530 --> 02:38:17.790
Chelsea King: going to speak or now okay.

1008
02:38:19.380 --> 02:38:21.330
Chelsea King: Well i'll be voting to.

1009
02:38:23.070 --> 02:38:25.350
Chelsea King: i'll be voting yes on this motion.

1010
02:38:26.790 --> 02:38:33.960
Chelsea King: I learning and professional learning communities is something that our district has valued over the years and.

1011
02:38:34.230 --> 02:38:34.950
Chelsea King: We know that.

1012
02:38:34.980 --> 02:38:47.250
Chelsea King: Having our teachers and staff together to do learning together is always important and, particularly, as we all know, this year, and increasingly important and.

1013
02:38:48.690 --> 02:38:54.900
Chelsea King: I remember attending a mental health talk from clackamas county mental health professional.

1014
02:38:55.410 --> 02:39:03.120
Chelsea King: And one of the things with this person said that really stuck with me is that transitions are a time of increase mental health needs.

1015
02:39:03.570 --> 02:39:20.850
Chelsea King: And so coming back into the school year whatever it's going to look like is a major transition for our communities and there's a lot to be worked through in our communities about this transition, and so, providing that time and space for.

1016
02:39:21.060 --> 02:39:21.180
Chelsea King: Our.

1017
02:39:21.690 --> 02:39:27.780
Chelsea King: staff to do the work they need to do to be fully as fully prepared as anybody can be for what we're facing.

1018
02:39:28.620 --> 02:39:37.860
Chelsea King: So I appreciate the opportunity to make this move, and I do have a bit of a concern about it spilling the last day of school over onto a Monday.

1019
02:39:38.370 --> 02:39:49.740
Chelsea King: And I just anticipate that there's a lot of moving parts as we move through the academic calendar and snow days last summer, they were fire days, and so you know who.

1020
02:39:50.340 --> 02:39:58.350
Chelsea King: I anticipate that conversation may even continue about what how the academic year unfolds with that Monday being there, but the motion i'll be.

1021
02:39:59.370 --> 02:40:00.510
Chelsea King: St voting yes on.

1022
02:40:09.000 --> 02:40:10.980
Chelsea King: director Thompson are you about to speak i'm not sure if I.

1023
02:40:10.980 --> 02:40:11.520
Christy Thompson: Say yeah.

1024
02:40:13.590 --> 02:40:16.650
Christy Thompson: And, and for many of the same reasons and.

1025
02:40:17.910 --> 02:40:36.480
Christy Thompson: You said, I will be voting for this as well and, but I did have that concern of spilling over one day and to the end of the school year and, and so I just had a question to Dr Ludwig about what opportunities that might be in the calendar to possibly.

1026
02:40:38.640 --> 02:40:51.060
Christy Thompson: shift some days so that maybe that spillover to that Monday didn't have to happen so just if you can speak to that and then also if you can just speak to the cost and in your memo you talk about.

1027
02:40:52.020 --> 02:41:07.680
Christy Thompson: That would you estimate, and I understand, this is an estimation about $250,000 and I know we just heard a very positive financial report from Dr Hughes that I would just like to hear your opinion of the cost of this day.

1028
02:41:12.360 --> 02:41:15.750
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Sure, I think you had maybe two questions, one about.

1029
02:41:17.070 --> 02:41:28.230
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Is there a way to make make this up, we we have already a pretty tight calendar and agreed agreed upon staff Development Days with our association.

1030
02:41:28.980 --> 02:41:42.330
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: That folks are counting on so our staff Development Days often align with grading with report cards and was specifically strategized areas in the school calendar where it's time for some interim work on something.

1031
02:41:43.350 --> 02:41:57.780
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And so we placed them specifically in those areas because we want to come back to staff development recursive Lee through the year, so it would be incredibly challenging to remove one or exchange one staff are already counting on where those are.

1032
02:41:59.880 --> 02:42:03.360
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: There is possibility at times with.

1033
02:42:05.430 --> 02:42:15.240
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Moving perhaps a non contract day to an instructional day it can come with its challenges, especially if school families and staff have already planned.

1034
02:42:16.230 --> 02:42:26.460
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: For events or occurrences and then you may have quite a large number of absences families that have already expected to be traveling somewhere, if you change something around.

1035
02:42:26.940 --> 02:42:35.550
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: thanksgiving week or if you, you know shorten a spring break people have made extent have made plans, and so I think.

1036
02:42:36.150 --> 02:42:43.260
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The Board starts to look at those kinds of options you run the risk of absences both staff and students so.

1037
02:42:43.710 --> 02:42:51.180
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: I would not recommend that we adjust anything inside the school calendar which was when my recommendation was to add.

1038
02:42:52.140 --> 02:43:02.910
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: A day on the end and I know it's it's hard to think about that Monday, but we've done it before sometimes you've had a Monday we've ended on a Monday or Tuesday and we never know what's going to happen with inclement weather.

1039
02:43:04.110 --> 02:43:20.370
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And so you know I think we just hold off on that last day loosely because of what can happen during the school year, but we have ended on a Monday before and kids have come and staff have come and they found a real positive joyful way to make that Monday feel special.

1040
02:43:23.250 --> 02:43:26.940
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And then I do i'm sorry, you had your second question was about cost.

1041
02:43:29.550 --> 02:43:32.850
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: You know I think when we hold high are.

1042
02:43:33.930 --> 02:43:50.640
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Our greatest resources, our staff, and we know that the strongest correlation between student achievement is is teacher advocacy when a teacher feels prepared and they feel to director taylor's point they feel ready, and they have the resources.

1043
02:43:51.690 --> 02:44:01.530
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: That translates into how students, learn and how they present in class, because the teachers equipped and so the strongest correlation around educational research on student outcomes is teacher advocacy.

1044
02:44:01.980 --> 02:44:09.990
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And this would be a day that we invest in teacher advocacy and as a district we've always held professional development is one of our highest investments.

1045
02:44:10.380 --> 02:44:17.640
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: that's why we have a very strong tuition reimbursement programs and trainings and and staff development.

1046
02:44:18.540 --> 02:44:24.660
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: In other years and other districts have cut those programs we've maintained them in our communities contributions.

1047
02:44:25.290 --> 02:44:33.000
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: with local local option levy and other supports have allowed us to then preserve our general budget to do those kinds of things.

1048
02:44:33.330 --> 02:44:47.010
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Teachers come to this district, because they know it's a strong investment and they feel ready to be with their kids so to me it's a it's a it's a valuable investment and I it's.

1049
02:44:48.600 --> 02:45:02.100
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: When we add a day on the calendar it's closer to $400,000 for a day of school, but because this would be before students arrive, and we don't have to think about busing and meals and some of those other costs it actually brings that that costs down.

1050
02:45:02.700 --> 02:45:11.580
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: And it may not be 250,000 we'd have to run our first month of payroll to see what our our per diem costs are for our staff.

1051
02:45:12.720 --> 02:45:14.370
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: But we we gave a more.

1052
02:45:15.450 --> 02:45:35.460
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: Generous estimate that it likely will be in last year when we gave one day of additional training, it was 190 7000 so we we estimated a little more because we'd have more classified staff involved and just the cost each year go up, but it may not be that much.

1053
02:45:36.510 --> 02:45:41.910
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: I stand by investing in that cost I think when we invest in professional development for teachers, we see it come back.

1054
02:45:42.300 --> 02:45:48.270
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: tenfold so I know it'll benefit our students and will get us off to a really strong start to the year and.

1055
02:45:48.600 --> 02:45:58.860
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: The purpose of this is also not just to impact that first week of school around more systems of care, but what are the systems you're going to put through out the school year, how are you going to check in with students.

1056
02:45:59.190 --> 02:46:04.890
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: How accounts are is going to check in on a monthly basis how a school leader is going to check in, and we have new social workers.

1057
02:46:05.130 --> 02:46:18.660
Kathy Ludwig, Supt: This would be great time to kind of bring them into the fold as well, so we want to not only think about Karen connection back that first time to school, but actually maintaining it throughout the whole school year, so this deep dive in will allow us to do that.

1058
02:46:19.890 --> 02:46:25.350
Christy Thompson: Thank you and and I couldn't fully agree more, and just as a former educator.

1059
02:46:26.610 --> 02:46:31.770
Christy Thompson: I always appreciated profession any extra professional development that I could get and.

1060
02:46:33.660 --> 02:46:39.870
Christy Thompson: And when it's centered around making sure that our kids know that we care about them and equipping our teachers to truly.

1061
02:46:41.490 --> 02:46:43.860
Christy Thompson: be very intentional about doing that.

1062
02:46:44.970 --> 02:46:58.920
Christy Thompson: it's well used, I just wanted to make sure that the public heard you know say no cost is always an issue and calendar year ending on Monday, so I just appreciate your you're answering those so that the public who is listening can care as well.

1063
02:46:59.910 --> 02:47:04.080
Chelsea King: Alright So may I call the vote, or do we still need more discussion.

1064
02:47:06.990 --> 02:47:07.320
Louis Taylor: All.

1065
02:47:11.370 --> 02:47:12.180
