If you are in a situation where you feel 2004 00:42:57,910 --> 00:42:57,920 you are in a situation where you feel 2005 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,670 you are in a situation where you feel that your students are not being 2006 00:42:59,670 --> 00:42:59,680 that your students are not being 2007 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,550 that your students are not being protected as a parent, I don't think 2008 00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:02,560 protected as a parent, I don't think 2009 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,150 protected as a parent, I don't think anyone of us in the room would not 2010 00:43:04,150 --> 00:43:04,160 anyone of us in the room would not 2011 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:05,829 anyone of us in the room would not access information that we felt we 2012 00:43:05,829 --> 00:43:05,839 access information that we felt we 2013 00:43:05,839 --> 00:43:08,069 access information that we felt we needed to make our case. 2014 00:43:08,069 --> 00:43:08,079 needed to make our case. 2015 00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:09,510 needed to make our case. The other group that I think is harmed 2016 00:43:09,510 --> 00:43:09,520 The other group that I think is harmed 2017 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,030 The other group that I think is harmed here is Melinda Carner. And I just 2018 00:43:11,030 --> 00:43:11,040 here is Melinda Carner. And I just 2019 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,950 here is Melinda Carner. And I just talked about it. I think you there has 2020 00:43:12,950 --> 00:43:12,960 talked about it. I think you there has 2021 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,870 talked about it. I think you there has been a disservice done to every single 2022 00:43:14,870 --> 00:43:14,880 been a disservice done to every single 2023 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,510 been a disservice done to every single person involved in this. I think that it 2024 00:43:17,510 --> 00:43:17,520 person involved in this. I think that it 2025 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,750 person involved in this. I think that it is unacceptable that the BBSD 2026 00:43:19,750 --> 00:43:19,760 is unacceptable that the BBSD 2027 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,589 is unacceptable that the BBSD investigation has rolled this way. And 2028 00:43:21,589 --> 00:43:21,599 investigation has rolled this way. And 2029 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:23,670 investigation has rolled this way. And I'm confused about why after a pattern 2030 00:43:23,670 --> 00:43:23,680 I'm confused about why after a pattern 2031 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,510 I'm confused about why after a pattern of student safety concerns that came to 2032 00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:25,520 of student safety concerns that came to 2033 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,349 of student safety concerns that came to a head in this way, why is the 2034 00:43:27,349 --> 00:43:27,359 a head in this way, why is the 2035 00:43:27,359 --> 00:43:28,790 a head in this way, why is the investigation not about the 2036 00:43:28,790 --> 00:43:28,800 investigation not about the 2037 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,710 investigation not about the administration at Aspen Creek that 2038 00:43:30,710 --> 00:43:30,720 administration at Aspen Creek that 2039 00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:32,150 administration at Aspen Creek that hasn't been dealing with the student 2040 00:43:32,150 --> 00:43:32,160 hasn't been dealing with the student 2041 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:33,910 hasn't been dealing with the student safety concerns that are clearly well 2042 00:43:33,910 --> 00:43:33,920 safety concerns that are clearly well 2043 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,870 safety concerns that are clearly well documented? And anytime I have questions 2044 00:43:36,870 --> 00:43:36,880 documented? And anytime I have questions 2045 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,030 documented? And anytime I have questions in that, I want to ask why. And I think 2046 00:43:39,030 --> 00:43:39,040 in that, I want to ask why. And I think 2047 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,430 in that, I want to ask why. And I think you should, too. This feels political. 2048 00:43:41,430 --> 00:43:41,440 you should, too. This feels political. 2049 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,270 you should, too. This feels political. It feels like a witch hunt. And I would 2050 00:43:43,270 --> 00:43:43,280 It feels like a witch hunt.

Um and there was a second reflection that I had that I have 3242 01:05:20,470 --> 01:05:20,480 second reflection that I had that I have 3243 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:21,829 second reflection that I had that I have lost and I will let you know if it comes 3244 01:05:21,829 --> 01:05:21,839 lost and I will let you know if it comes 3245 01:05:21,839 --> 01:05:23,670 lost and I will let you know if it comes back to me. 3246 01:05:23,670 --> 01:05:23,680 back to me. 3247 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:24,710 back to me. All right. Right. So, I'm going to run 3248 01:05:24,710 --> 01:05:24,720 All right. Right. So, I'm going to run 3249 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,230 All right. Right. So, I'm going to run through now quickly um the key findings 3250 01:05:26,230 --> 01:05:26,240 through now quickly um the key findings 3251 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:28,870 through now quickly um the key findings that we shared in the in our memo to 3252 01:05:28,870 --> 01:05:28,880 that we shared in the in our memo to 3253 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:30,630 that we shared in the in our memo to you. First, um we were really thrilled 3254 01:05:30,630 --> 01:05:30,640 you. First, um we were really thrilled 3255 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:31,910 you. First, um we were really thrilled to see that the input we got from 3256 01:05:31,910 --> 01:05:31,920 to see that the input we got from 3257 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:33,990 to see that the input we got from schools um did reflect our district 3258 01:05:33,990 --> 01:05:34,000 schools um did reflect our district 3259 01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,470 schools um did reflect our district strategic priies and priorities and 3260 01:05:36,470 --> 01:05:36,480 strategic priies and priorities and 3261 01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:38,230 strategic priies and priorities and school improvement goals. So, everyone 3262 01:05:38,230 --> 01:05:38,240 school improvement goals. So, everyone 3263 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,950 school improvement goals. So, everyone did the assignment, which was great. Um 3264 01:05:40,950 --> 01:05:40,960 did the assignment, which was great. Um 3265 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,829 did the assignment, which was great. Um we were also uh we also noticed that um 3266 01:05:43,829 --> 01:05:43,839 we were also uh we also noticed that um 3267 01:05:43,839 --> 01:05:46,150 we were also uh we also noticed that um more than half of our school teams 3268 01:05:46,150 --> 01:05:46,160 more than half of our school teams 3269 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:47,670 more than half of our school teams explicitly reference differentiate 3270 01:05:47,670 --> 01:05:47,680 explicitly reference differentiate 3271 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:49,910 explicitly reference differentiate funding as being something that has 3272 01:05:49,910 --> 01:05:49,920 funding as being something that has 3273 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:51,430 funding as being something that has supported them to make progress against 3274 01:05:51,430 --> 01:05:51,440 supported them to make progress against 3275 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:52,950 supported them to make progress against their improvement goals. And this was 3276 01:05:52,950 --> 01:05:52,960 their improvement goals. And this was 3277 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,190 their improvement goals. And this was for um schools that were were receiving 3278 01:05:55,190 --> 01:05:55,200 for um schools that were were receiving 3279 01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:56,789 for um schools that were were receiving all three levels of differentiated 3280 01:05:56,789 --> 01:05:56,799 all three levels of differentiated 3281 01:05:56,799 --> 01:05:58,710 all three levels of differentiated funding. So um again, I think that's a 3282 01:05:58,710 --> 01:05:58,720 funding. So um again, I think that's a 3283 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:00,789 funding. So um again, I think that's a really strong testament to that um that 3284 01:06:00,789 --> 01:06:00,799 really strong testament to that um that 3285 01:06:00,799 --> 01:06:02,549 really strong testament to that um that strategy that our district has um 3286 01:06:02,549 --> 01:06:02,559 strategy that our district has um 3287 01:06:02,559 --> 01:06:05,109 strategy that our district has um employed the past few years. Um we also 3288 01:06:05,109 --> 01:06:05,119 employed the past few years. Um we also 3289 01:06:05,119 --> 01:06:06,470 employed the past few years. Um we also shared and there's more detail on the 3290 01:06:06,470 --> 01:06:06,480 shared and there's more detail on the 3291 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,750 shared and there's more detail on the memo on just a lot of staffing concerns 3292 01:06:09,750 --> 01:06:09,760 memo on just a lot of staffing concerns 3293 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,430 memo on just a lot of staffing concerns directly tied to the strategic 3294 01:06:11,430 --> 01:06:11,440 directly tied to the strategic 3295 01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,589 directly tied to the strategic priorities. So um schools were really 3296 01:06:13,589 --> 01:06:13,599 priorities. So um schools were really 3297 01:06:13,599 --> 01:06:15,829 priorities. So um schools were really thoughtful in sort of talking through 3298 01:06:15,829 --> 01:06:15,839 thoughtful in sort of talking through 3299 01:06:15,839 --> 01:06:18,950 thoughtful in sort of talking through like we have this this data coach or our 3300 01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:18,960 like we have this this data coach or our 3301 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,029 like we have this this data coach or our biiteracy coach and we don't and they 3302 01:06:21,029 --> 01:06:21,039 biiteracy coach and we don't and they 3303 01:06:21,039 --> 01:06:22,710 biiteracy coach and we don't and they are amazing and important and we don't 3304 01:06:22,710 --> 01:06:22,720 are amazing and important and we don't 3305 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:24,789 are amazing and important and we don't know how much longer we will have them 3306 01:06:24,789 --> 01:06:24,799 know how much longer we will have them 3307 01:06:24,799 --> 01:06:27,589 know how much longer we will have them um given our enrollment right and given 3308 01:06:27,589 --> 01:06:27,599 um given our enrollment right and given 3309 01:06:27,599 --> 01:06:30,309 um given our enrollment right and given the current fiscal realities and in the 3310 01:06:30,309 --> 01:06:30,319 the current fiscal realities and in the 3311 01:06:30,319 --> 01:06:32,150 the current fiscal realities and in the memo we have a list of some of this uh 3312 01:06:32,150 --> 01:06:32,160 memo we have a list of some of this uh 3313 01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:33,990 memo we have a list of some of this uh the specific uh staff roles that were 3314 01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:34,000 the specific uh staff roles that were 3315 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,710 the specific uh staff roles that were highlighted by school teams.

Many of our title one 3516 01:10:13,350 --> 01:10:13,360 across schools. Many of our title one 3517 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,590 across schools. Many of our title one schools and some of our high schools um 3518 01:10:15,590 --> 01:10:15,600 schools and some of our high schools um 3519 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,830 schools and some of our high schools um specifically highlighted the role of um 3520 01:10:17,830 --> 01:10:17,840 specifically highlighted the role of um 3521 01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:19,350 specifically highlighted the role of um student supports in school family 3522 01:10:19,350 --> 01:10:19,360 student supports in school family 3523 01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:22,229 student supports in school family partnership, school um family liaison, 3524 01:10:22,229 --> 01:10:22,239 partnership, school um family liaison, 3525 01:10:22,239 --> 01:10:24,870 partnership, school um family liaison, um credit recovery support.

So, it looked really different at the 3528 01:10:25,669 --> 01:10:25,679 looked really different at the 3529 01:10:25,679 --> 01:10:27,350 looked really different at the elementary level versus middle school, 3530 01:10:27,350 --> 01:10:27,360 elementary level versus middle school, 3531 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,030 elementary level versus middle school, high school level, but again, sort of a 3532 01:10:29,030 --> 01:10:29,040 high school level, but again, sort of a 3533 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,189 high school level, but again, sort of a theme of having some of these um 3534 01:10:31,189 --> 01:10:31,199 theme of having some of these um 3535 01:10:31,199 --> 01:10:32,630 theme of having some of these um additional supports in place to help 3536 01:10:32,630 --> 01:10:32,640 additional supports in place to help 3537 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:34,709 additional supports in place to help kids and families really based on their 3538 01:10:34,709 --> 01:10:34,719 kids and families really based on their 3539 01:10:34,719 --> 01:10:38,550 kids and families really based on their unique and distinct needs. 3540 01:10:38,550 --> 01:10:38,560 unique and distinct needs. 3541 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:42,630 unique and distinct needs. We also uncovered four areas of um 3542 01:10:42,630 --> 01:10:42,640 We also uncovered four areas of um 3543 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,149 We also uncovered four areas of um consensus across our schools around 3544 01:10:44,149 --> 01:10:44,159 consensus across our schools around 3545 01:10:44,159 --> 01:10:46,070 consensus across our schools around what's needed to accelerate improvement. 3546 01:10:46,070 --> 01:10:46,080 what's needed to accelerate improvement. 3547 01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:47,669 what's needed to accelerate improvement.

Um clearly this is something that is making a huge 3900 01:16:51,990 --> 01:16:52,000 something that is making a huge 3901 01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,070 something that is making a huge difference for our uh teachers and 3902 01:16:54,070 --> 01:16:54,080 difference for our uh teachers and 3903 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,790 difference for our uh teachers and principles and um school communities and 3904 01:16:56,790 --> 01:16:56,800 principles and um school communities and 3905 01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:58,550 principles and um school communities and um it's something that as you are making 3906 01:16:58,550 --> 01:16:58,560 um it's something that as you are making 3907 01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,350 um it's something that as you are making tough decisions um uh moving forward um 3908 01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:01,360 tough decisions um uh moving forward um 3909 01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,149 tough decisions um uh moving forward um we would urge you to really retain um 3910 01:17:04,149 --> 01:17:04,159 we would urge you to really retain um 3911 01:17:04,159 --> 01:17:05,669 we would urge you to really retain um the work you're doing around datadriven 3912 01:17:05,669 --> 01:17:05,679 the work you're doing around datadriven 3913 01:17:05,679 --> 01:17:07,189 the work you're doing around datadriven instruction the 90-day plans and those 3914 01:17:07,189 --> 01:17:07,199 instruction the 90-day plans and those 3915 01:17:07,199 --> 01:17:09,910 instruction the 90-day plans and those continuous improvement cycles. Um we 3916 01:17:09,910 --> 01:17:09,920 continuous improvement cycles. Um we 3917 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:11,510 continuous improvement cycles. Um we kind of smooshed a bunch of stuff into 3918 01:17:11,510 --> 01:17:11,520 kind of smooshed a bunch of stuff into 3919 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:15,030 kind of smooshed a bunch of stuff into one into one third recommendation um 3920 01:17:15,030 --> 01:17:15,040 one into one third recommendation um 3921 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:16,950 one into one third recommendation um which is just the start of a list. This 3922 01:17:16,950 --> 01:17:16,960 which is just the start of a list. This 3923 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:18,630 which is just the start of a list. This is not a comprehensive list of just like 3924 01:17:18,630 --> 01:17:18,640 is not a comprehensive list of just like 3925 01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,229 is not a comprehensive list of just like what are those creative strategies that 3926 01:17:20,229 --> 01:17:20,239 what are those creative strategies that 3927 01:17:20,239 --> 01:17:23,030 what are those creative strategies that might be budget neutral. Um so we heard 3928 01:17:23,030 --> 01:17:23,040 might be budget neutral. Um so we heard 3929 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:24,870 might be budget neutral. Um so we heard from some schools this idea of like if 3930 01:17:24,870 --> 01:17:24,880 from some schools this idea of like if 3931 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:26,630 from some schools this idea of like if every teacher identified as a math and 3932 01:17:26,630 --> 01:17:26,640 every teacher identified as a math and 3933 01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:28,310 every teacher identified as a math and reading teacher and had professional 3934 01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:28,320 reading teacher and had professional 3935 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,070 reading teacher and had professional development support around your math our 3936 01:17:30,070 --> 01:17:30,080 development support around your math our 3937 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,310 development support around your math our math and literacy priorities like what 3938 01:17:32,310 --> 01:17:32,320 math and literacy priorities like what 3939 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:33,990 math and literacy priorities like what would that mean in terms of being able 3940 01:17:33,990 --> 01:17:34,000 would that mean in terms of being able 3941 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:35,910 would that mean in terms of being able to continue accelerating growth in math 3942 01:17:35,910 --> 01:17:35,920 to continue accelerating growth in math 3943 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,149 to continue accelerating growth in math and literacy. Um so can we identify 3944 01:17:38,149 --> 01:17:38,159 and literacy. Um so can we identify 3945 01:17:38,159 --> 01:17:39,590 and literacy. Um so can we identify opportunities for other teachers to 3946 01:17:39,590 --> 01:17:39,600 opportunities for other teachers to 3947 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:40,790 opportunities for other teachers to attend some of the professional 3948 01:17:40,790 --> 01:17:40,800 attend some of the professional 3949 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,709 attend some of the professional development that literacy and math 3950 01:17:42,709 --> 01:17:42,719 development that literacy and math 3951 01:17:42,719 --> 01:17:44,870 development that literacy and math teachers have been going to um so that 3952 01:17:44,870 --> 01:17:44,880 teachers have been going to um so that 3953 01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:46,149 teachers have been going to um so that they can be incorporating that into 3954 01:17:46,149 --> 01:17:46,159 they can be incorporating that into 3955 01:17:46,159 --> 01:17:48,870 they can be incorporating that into other disciplines. Also some interesting 3956 01:17:48,870 --> 01:17:48,880 other disciplines. Also some interesting 3957 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:50,870 other disciplines. Also some interesting ideas on the school student support and 3958 01:17:50,870 --> 01:17:50,880 ideas on the school student support and 3959 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:52,790 ideas on the school student support and family partnership work around like are 3960 01:17:52,790 --> 01:17:52,800 family partnership work around like are 3961 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,030 family partnership work around like are there other um school staff in the 3962 01:17:55,030 --> 01:17:55,040 there other um school staff in the 3963 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:56,310 there other um school staff in the building who could benefit from for 3964 01:17:56,310 --> 01:17:56,320 building who could benefit from for 3965 01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:57,510 building who could benefit from for example some of the training you all 3966 01:17:57,510 --> 01:17:57,520 example some of the training you all 3967 01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,350 example some of the training you all have done on restorative practices right 3968 01:17:59,350 --> 01:17:59,360 have done on restorative practices right 3969 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,350 have done on restorative practices right and some of the culture building work um 3970 01:18:01,350 --> 01:18:01,360 and some of the culture building work um 3971 01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,350 and some of the culture building work um that we're culture building and um 3972 01:18:03,350 --> 01:18:03,360 that we're culture building and um 3973 01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,110 that we're culture building and um social emotional learning uh that we're 3974 01:18:05,110 --> 01:18:05,120 social emotional learning uh that we're 3975 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,669 social emotional learning uh that we're that is happening at our schools. We 3976 01:18:07,669 --> 01:18:07,679 that is happening at our schools. We 3977 01:18:07,679 --> 01:18:09,669 that is happening at our schools. We learned through this process that a lot 3978 01:18:09,669 --> 01:18:09,679 learned through this process that a lot 3979 01:18:09,679 --> 01:18:12,709 learned through this process that a lot of schools are staffing um with hybrid 3980 01:18:12,709 --> 01:18:12,719 of schools are staffing um with hybrid 3981 01:18:12,719 --> 01:18:14,870 of schools are staffing um with hybrid roles. They didn't use the language of 3982 01:18:14,870 --> 01:18:14,880 roles. They didn't use the language of 3983 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:16,550 roles. They didn't use the language of hybrid roles. that's a word we use to 3984 01:18:16,550 --> 01:18:16,560 hybrid roles. that's a word we use to 3985 01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:20,470 hybrid roles. that's a word we use to describe it. Um there are lots of educ 3986 01:18:20,470 --> 01:18:20,480 describe it. Um there are lots of educ 3987 01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:21,830 describe it. Um there are lots of educ there are lots of folks in our buildings 3988 01:18:21,830 --> 01:18:21,840 there are lots of folks in our buildings 3989 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,229 there are lots of folks in our buildings who are point four here and point six 3990 01:18:24,229 --> 01:18:24,239 who are point four here and point six 3991 01:18:24,239 --> 01:18:26,470 who are point four here and point six here or point this here and point that 3992 01:18:26,470 --> 01:18:26,480 here or point this here and point that 3993 01:18:26,480 --> 01:18:28,630 here or point this here and point that there. So um we think that's could be 3994 01:18:28,630 --> 01:18:28,640 there. So um we think that's could be 3995 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:30,149 there. So um we think that's could be really neat and creative. We heard some 3996 01:18:30,149 --> 01:18:30,159 really neat and creative. We heard some 3997 01:18:30,159 --> 01:18:33,030 really neat and creative. We heard some examples of for example a librarian who 3998 01:18:33,030 --> 01:18:33,040 examples of for example a librarian who 3999 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:37,110 examples of for example a librarian who um is now at a 0.5 um.5 library teacher 4000 01:18:37,110 --> 01:18:37,120 um is now at a 0.5 um.5 library teacher 4001 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,350 um is now at a 0.5 um.5 library teacher and then.5 literacy interventionist and 4002 01:18:39,350 --> 01:18:39,360 and then.5 literacy interventionist and 4003 01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:40,870 and then.5 literacy interventionist and it turns out it's the greatest thing 4004 01:18:40,870 --> 01:18:40,880 it turns out it's the greatest thing 4005 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:43,189 it turns out it's the greatest thing that's ever happened to her career. um 4006 01:18:43,189 --> 01:18:43,199 that's ever happened to her career. um 4007 01:18:43,199 --> 01:18:45,669 that's ever happened to her career. um also had an example of another educator 4008 01:18:45,669 --> 01:18:45,679 also had an example of another educator 4009 01:18:45,679 --> 01:18:48,550 also had an example of another educator who um is really challenging to be split 4010 01:18:48,550 --> 01:18:48,560 who um is really challenging to be split 4011 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:49,910 who um is really challenging to be split right in those roles and it's maybe not 4012 01:18:49,910 --> 01:18:49,920 right in those roles and it's maybe not 4013 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:51,910 right in those roles and it's maybe not quite working for her. So, we're not 4014 01:18:51,910 --> 01:18:51,920 quite working for her. So, we're not 4015 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,470 quite working for her. So, we're not necessarily recommending um that we like 4016 01:18:54,470 --> 01:18:54,480 necessarily recommending um that we like 4017 01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:56,229 necessarily recommending um that we like implement more hybrid roles, but more 4018 01:18:56,229 --> 01:18:56,239 implement more hybrid roles, but more 4019 01:18:56,239 --> 01:18:57,669 implement more hybrid roles, but more more deeply understand what are these 4020 01:18:57,669 --> 01:18:57,679 more deeply understand what are these 4021 01:18:57,679 --> 01:18:59,350 more deeply understand what are these roles that are happening that are that 4022 01:18:59,350 --> 01:18:59,360 roles that are happening that are that 4023 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,590 roles that are happening that are that exist at our schools, documenting that, 4024 01:19:01,590 --> 01:19:01,600 exist at our schools, documenting that, 4025 01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,110 exist at our schools, documenting that, learning from that, sharing those across 4026 01:19:03,110 --> 01:19:03,120 learning from that, sharing those across 4027 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,270 learning from that, sharing those across schools, and then using that information 4028 01:19:05,270 --> 01:19:05,280 schools, and then using that information 4029 01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:07,110 schools, and then using that information um to make really strategic decisions 4030 01:19:07,110 --> 01:19:07,120 um to make really strategic decisions 4031 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,430 um to make really strategic decisions around um you know, maybe maybe there 4032 01:19:09,430 --> 01:19:09,440 around um you know, maybe maybe there 4033 01:19:09,440 --> 01:19:10,470 around um you know, maybe maybe there are certain roles that are more 4034 01:19:10,470 --> 01:19:10,480 are certain roles that are more 4035 01:19:10,480 --> 01:19:11,990 are certain roles that are more effective and sustainable for educators 4036 01:19:11,990 --> 01:19:12,000 effective and sustainable for educators 4037 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:13,430 effective and sustainable for educators and so let's like build those into the 4038 01:19:13,430 --> 01:19:13,440 and so let's like build those into the 4039 01:19:13,440 --> 01:19:15,189 and so let's like build those into the model more explicitly and maybe there 4040 01:19:15,189 --> 01:19:15,199 model more explicitly and maybe there 4041 01:19:15,199 --> 01:19:17,110 model more explicitly and maybe there are some that really aren't working um 4042 01:19:17,110 --> 01:19:17,120 are some that really aren't working um 4043 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:18,709 are some that really aren't working um and so we can maybe steer schools away 4044 01:19:18,709 --> 01:19:18,719 and so we can maybe steer schools away 4045 01:19:18,719 --> 01:19:21,030 and so we can maybe steer schools away from those. The master schedule boot 4046 01:19:21,030 --> 01:19:21,040 from those. The master schedule boot 4047 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:22,709 from those. The master schedule boot camp was another idea that came up just 4048 01:19:22,709 --> 01:19:22,719 camp was another idea that came up just 4049 01:19:22,719 --> 01:19:24,470 camp was another idea that came up just around this idea of bringing educators 4050 01:19:24,470 --> 01:19:24,480 around this idea of bringing educators 4051 01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:26,229 around this idea of bringing educators together um and administrators together 4052 01:19:26,229 --> 01:19:26,239 together um and administrators together 4053 01:19:26,239 --> 01:19:28,149 together um and administrators together to just rethink how we're setting up our 4054 01:19:28,149 --> 01:19:28,159 to just rethink how we're setting up our 4055 01:19:28,159 --> 01:19:30,950 to just rethink how we're setting up our school days. Um we're also recommending 4056 01:19:30,950 --> 01:19:30,960 school days. Um we're also recommending 4057 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:32,630 school days. Um we're also recommending that you connect schools at various 4058 01:19:32,630 --> 01:19:32,640 that you connect schools at various 4059 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,709 that you connect schools at various stages of implementation. Um for the 4060 01:19:34,709 --> 01:19:34,719 stages of implementation. Um for the 4061 01:19:34,719 --> 01:19:36,630 stages of implementation. Um for the most part schools were really excited 4062 01:19:36,630 --> 01:19:36,640 most part schools were really excited 4063 01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,110 most part schools were really excited about the DDI work for example. Um we 4064 01:19:39,110 --> 01:19:39,120 about the DDI work for example. Um we 4065 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:40,550 about the DDI work for example. Um we did hear a couple of schools who were 4066 01:19:40,550 --> 01:19:40,560 did hear a couple of schools who were 4067 01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:42,149 did hear a couple of schools who were like this is too much work and we're 4068 01:19:42,149 --> 01:19:42,159 like this is too much work and we're 4069 01:19:42,159 --> 01:19:43,510 like this is too much work and we're just not quite sure that we're getting 4070 01:19:43,510 --> 01:19:43,520 just not quite sure that we're getting 4071 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,990 just not quite sure that we're getting the value out of it. um our hypothesis 4072 01:19:45,990 --> 01:19:46,000 the value out of it. um our hypothesis 4073 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,070 the value out of it. um our hypothesis is that they're just starting the work 4074 01:19:48,070 --> 01:19:48,080 is that they're just starting the work 4075 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,709 is that they're just starting the work and it is a lot and it is too much. Um 4076 01:19:50,709 --> 01:19:50,719 and it is a lot and it is too much. Um 4077 01:19:50,719 --> 01:19:52,229 and it is a lot and it is too much. Um so maybe if they had the opportunity to 4078 01:19:52,229 --> 01:19:52,239 so maybe if they had the opportunity to 4079 01:19:52,239 --> 01:19:53,350 so maybe if they had the opportunity to see and hear from their colleagues who 4080 01:19:53,350 --> 01:19:53,360 see and hear from their colleagues who 4081 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:54,870 see and hear from their colleagues who are one, two, three years down the road 4082 01:19:54,870 --> 01:19:54,880 are one, two, three years down the road 4083 01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:56,070 are one, two, three years down the road that that might help them kind of keep 4084 01:19:56,070 --> 01:19:56,080 that that might help them kind of keep 4085 01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,709 that that might help them kind of keep up energy and momentum um as they are 4086 01:19:58,709 --> 01:19:58,719 up energy and momentum um as they are 4087 01:19:58,719 --> 01:19:59,910 up energy and momentum um as they are working on implementing something that 4088 01:19:59,910 --> 01:19:59,920 working on implementing something that 4089 01:19:59,920 --> 01:20:01,590 working on implementing something that by and large most all the other schools 4090 01:20:01,590 --> 01:20:01,600 by and large most all the other schools 4091 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,030 by and large most all the other schools in the district are really seeing value 4092 01:20:03,030 --> 01:20:03,040 in the district are really seeing value 4093 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,750 in the district are really seeing value out of. And then finally um we did hear 4094 01:20:05,750 --> 01:20:05,760 out of. And then finally um we did hear 4095 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,390 out of. And then finally um we did hear from some schools uh questions about the 4096 01:20:08,390 --> 01:20:08,400 from some schools uh questions about the 4097 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:10,310 from some schools uh questions about the tutoring programs and this overlaps a 4098 01:20:10,310 --> 01:20:10,320 tutoring programs and this overlaps a 4099 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:11,430 tutoring programs and this overlaps a little bit with the intervention 4100 01:20:11,430 --> 01:20:11,440 little bit with the intervention 4101 01:20:11,440 --> 01:20:13,750 little bit with the intervention interventionist uh feedback that we got. 4102 01:20:13,750 --> 01:20:13,760 interventionist uh feedback that we got. 4103 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,310 interventionist uh feedback that we got. Um some schools are using the language 4104 01:20:16,310 --> 01:20:16,320 Um some schools are using the language 4105 01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,070 Um some schools are using the language of tutoring to talk about some the inter 4106 01:20:18,070 --> 01:20:18,080 of tutoring to talk about some the inter 4107 01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,189 of tutoring to talk about some the inter the type the way that they're 4108 01:20:19,189 --> 01:20:19,199 the type the way that they're 4109 01:20:19,199 --> 01:20:21,830 the type the way that they're structuring their interventions. Um and 4110 01:20:21,830 --> 01:20:21,840 structuring their interventions. Um and 4111 01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,149 structuring their interventions. Um and in some places that was especially at 4112 01:20:24,149 --> 01:20:24,159 in some places that was especially at 4113 01:20:24,159 --> 01:20:25,350 in some places that was especially at our elementary schools. They're like 4114 01:20:25,350 --> 01:20:25,360 our elementary schools. They're like 4115 01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:26,950 our elementary schools. They're like this is gamechanging. It's amazing for 4116 01:20:26,950 --> 01:20:26,960 this is gamechanging. It's amazing for 4117 01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:28,310 this is gamechanging. It's amazing for our kids. They're meeting consistently 4118 01:20:28,310 --> 01:20:28,320 our kids. They're meeting consistently 4119 01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:29,669 our kids. They're meeting consistently with the tutor every week and the kids 4120 01:20:29,669 --> 01:20:29,679 with the tutor every week and the kids 4121 01:20:29,679 --> 01:20:31,350 with the tutor every week and the kids who have access to that are growing 4122 01:20:31,350 --> 01:20:31,360 who have access to that are growing 4123 01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:33,350 who have access to that are growing astronomically. At the middle school 4124 01:20:33,350 --> 01:20:33,360 astronomically. At the middle school 4125 01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:36,070 astronomically. At the middle school level there was concerns that um middle 4126 01:20:36,070 --> 01:20:36,080 level there was concerns that um middle 4127 01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:37,110 level there was concerns that um middle schoolers who were connecting with 4128 01:20:37,110 --> 01:20:37,120 schoolers who were connecting with 4129 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:38,790 schoolers who were connecting with tutors during their study hall were 4130 01:20:38,790 --> 01:20:38,800 tutors during their study hall were 4131 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:41,510 tutors during their study hall were maybe not seeing the same value. Um, and 4132 01:20:41,510 --> 01:20:41,520 maybe not seeing the same value. Um, and 4133 01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:42,630 maybe not seeing the same value. Um, and so we just thought that was an 4134 01:20:42,630 --> 01:20:42,640 so we just thought that was an 4135 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:43,990 so we just thought that was an opportunity to maybe do a little bit 4136 01:20:43,990 --> 01:20:44,000 opportunity to maybe do a little bit 4137 01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,270 opportunity to maybe do a little bit more research, check in on what's going 4138 01:20:45,270 --> 01:20:45,280 more research, check in on what's going 4139 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,990 more research, check in on what's going on there, and um, make sure that, you 4140 01:20:47,990 --> 01:20:48,000 on there, and um, make sure that, you 4141 01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:49,189 on there, and um, make sure that, you know, we we know that high impact 4142 01:20:49,189 --> 01:20:49,199 know, we we know that high impact 4143 01:20:49,199 --> 01:20:50,790 know, we we know that high impact tutoring is actually very cost-effective 4144 01:20:50,790 --> 01:20:50,800 tutoring is actually very cost-effective 4145 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,229 tutoring is actually very cost-effective and very effective way to support our 4146 01:20:52,229 --> 01:20:52,239 and very effective way to support our 4147 01:20:52,239 --> 01:20:55,590 and very effective way to support our kids. Um, and in uh, times of tightening 4148 01:20:55,590 --> 01:20:55,600 kids. Um, and in uh, times of tightening 4149 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,189 kids. Um, and in uh, times of tightening budgets, um, would hate for us to kind 4150 01:20:57,189 --> 01:20:57,199 budgets, um, would hate for us to kind 4151 01:20:57,199 --> 01:20:59,350 budgets, um, would hate for us to kind of throw those out the window if we 4152 01:20:59,350 --> 01:20:59,360 of throw those out the window if we 4153 01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:01,430 of throw those out the window if we could actually maybe just like adjust 4154 01:21:01,430 --> 01:21:01,440 could actually maybe just like adjust 4155 01:21:01,440 --> 01:21:03,270 could actually maybe just like adjust um, uh, the the program as it's being 4156 01:21:03,270 --> 01:21:03,280 um, uh, the the program as it's being 4157 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:04,950 um, uh, the the program as it's being implemented to make sure that it really 4158 01:21:04,950 --> 01:21:04,960 implemented to make sure that it really 4159 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,470 implemented to make sure that it really is uh, supporting kids and helping us 4160 01:21:06,470 --> 01:21:06,480 is uh, supporting kids and helping us 4161 01:21:06,480 --> 01:21:08,950 is uh, supporting kids and helping us reach our goals.

But after the dust settles on 4674 01:30:33,830 --> 01:30:33,840 version. But after the dust settles on 4675 01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:35,590 version. But after the dust settles on the declining enrollment things, I think 4676 01:30:35,590 --> 01:30:35,600 the declining enrollment things, I think 4677 01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,270 the declining enrollment things, I think we all recognize on the board that that 4678 01:30:37,270 --> 01:30:37,280 we all recognize on the board that that 4679 01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:38,870 we all recognize on the board that that policy is really poorly written. It's 4680 01:30:38,870 --> 01:30:38,880 policy is really poorly written. It's 4681 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:43,430 policy is really poorly written. It's very confusing and it's unclear what um 4682 01:30:43,430 --> 01:30:43,440 very confusing and it's unclear what um 4683 01:30:43,440 --> 01:30:47,030 very confusing and it's unclear what um what the language causes and behaviors 4684 01:30:47,030 --> 01:30:47,040 what the language causes and behaviors 4685 01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:48,470 what the language causes and behaviors and what the outcomes of those and the 4686 01:30:48,470 --> 01:30:48,480 and what the outcomes of those and the 4687 01:30:48,480 --> 01:30:50,790 and what the outcomes of those and the impacts to equity. So when dust settles 4688 01:30:50,790 --> 01:30:50,800 impacts to equity. So when dust settles 4689 01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:52,310 impacts to equity. So when dust settles there, I think we have an appetite to to 4690 01:30:52,310 --> 01:30:52,320 there, I think we have an appetite to to 4691 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,070 there, I think we have an appetite to to tackle that, but conditions are going to 4692 01:30:54,070 --> 01:30:54,080 tackle that, but conditions are going to 4693 01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,229 tackle that, but conditions are going to change significantly, I presume. And so 4694 01:30:56,229 --> 01:30:56,239 change significantly, I presume. And so 4695 01:30:56,239 --> 01:30:59,830 change significantly, I presume. And so let's like let that landscape take shape 4696 01:30:59,830 --> 01:30:59,840 let's like let that landscape take shape 4697 01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:01,590 let's like let that landscape take shape before acting on that. And then the last 4698 01:31:01,590 --> 01:31:01,600 before acting on that. And then the last 4699 01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:03,110 before acting on that. And then the last thing I just want to say and to folks 4700 01:31:03,110 --> 01:31:03,120 thing I just want to say and to folks 4701 01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,669 thing I just want to say and to folks watching, DAC is one of our best thought 4702 01:31:05,669 --> 01:31:05,679 watching, DAC is one of our best thought 4703 01:31:05,679 --> 01:31:06,950 watching, DAC is one of our best thought partners here on the on the board of 4704 01:31:06,950 --> 01:31:06,960 partners here on the on the board of 4705 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,750 partners here on the on the board of education.

This year, Colorado's public 5354 01:44:45,830 --> 01:44:45,840 Colorado. This year, Colorado's public 5355 01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:47,430 Colorado. This year, Colorado's public school enrollment dropped by more than 5356 01:44:47,430 --> 01:44:47,440 school enrollment dropped by more than 5357 01:44:47,440 --> 01:44:49,590 school enrollment dropped by more than 10,000 students. That was the largest 5358 01:44:49,590 --> 01:44:49,600 10,000 students. That was the largest 5359 01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:52,470 10,000 students. That was the largest single year decline since the pandemic. 5360 01:44:52,470 --> 01:44:52,480 single year decline since the pandemic. 5361 01:44:52,480 --> 01:44:55,189 single year decline since the pandemic. Uh the statewide decline uh really 5362 01:44:55,189 --> 01:44:55,199 Uh the statewide decline uh really 5363 01:44:55,199 --> 01:44:57,510 Uh the statewide decline uh really reflects broader demographic shifts. 5364 01:44:57,510 --> 01:44:57,520 reflects broader demographic shifts. 5365 01:44:57,520 --> 01:44:59,990 reflects broader demographic shifts. It's including uh lower birth rates, 5366 01:44:59,990 --> 01:45:00,000 It's including uh lower birth rates, 5367 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,070 It's including uh lower birth rates, shifting population patterns that are 5368 01:45:02,070 --> 01:45:02,080 shifting population patterns that are 5369 01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:05,510 shifting population patterns that are affecting districts of all sizes. uh our 5370 01:45:05,510 --> 01:45:05,520 affecting districts of all sizes. uh our 5371 01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:07,189 affecting districts of all sizes. uh our enrollment decline, we've talked about 5372 01:45:07,189 --> 01:45:07,199 enrollment decline, we've talked about 5373 01:45:07,199 --> 01:45:09,990 enrollment decline, we've talked about this in a numerous uh work sessions and 5374 01:45:09,990 --> 01:45:10,000 this in a numerous uh work sessions and 5375 01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,870 this in a numerous uh work sessions and board meetings is influenced by similar 5376 01:45:12,870 --> 01:45:12,880 board meetings is influenced by similar 5377 01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:15,830 board meetings is influenced by similar factors. Uh declining birth rates means 5378 01:45:15,830 --> 01:45:15,840 factors. Uh declining birth rates means 5379 01:45:15,840 --> 01:45:18,709 factors. Uh declining birth rates means fewer kindergarteners. Our population in 5380 01:45:18,709 --> 01:45:18,719 fewer kindergarteners. Our population in 5381 01:45:18,719 --> 01:45:20,470 fewer kindergarteners. Our population in Boulder Valley School District is aging 5382 01:45:20,470 --> 01:45:20,480 Boulder Valley School District is aging 5383 01:45:20,480 --> 01:45:24,629 Boulder Valley School District is aging in place. Housing costs remain high and 5384 01:45:24,629 --> 01:45:24,639 in place. Housing costs remain high and 5385 01:45:24,639 --> 01:45:26,870 in place. Housing costs remain high and neighboring districts are able to afford 5386 01:45:26,870 --> 01:45:26,880 neighboring districts are able to afford 5387 01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:29,109 neighboring districts are able to afford or to offer more affordable housing 5388 01:45:29,109 --> 01:45:29,119 or to offer more affordable housing 5389 01:45:29,119 --> 01:45:32,709 or to offer more affordable housing options.

Uh the work on this slide also shows that 5420 01:46:10,229 --> 01:46:10,239 the work on this slide also shows that 5421 01:46:10,239 --> 01:46:13,669 the work on this slide also shows that we have pulled every available lever to 5422 01:46:13,669 --> 01:46:13,679 we have pulled every available lever to 5423 01:46:13,679 --> 01:46:15,830 we have pulled every available lever to change enrollment trajectories over the 5424 01:46:15,830 --> 01:46:15,840 change enrollment trajectories over the 5425 01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:18,149 change enrollment trajectories over the last four years to avoid the difficult 5426 01:46:18,149 --> 01:46:18,159 last four years to avoid the difficult 5427 01:46:18,159 --> 01:46:19,510 last four years to avoid the difficult conversations that we're going to be 5428 01:46:19,510 --> 01:46:19,520 conversations that we're going to be 5429 01:46:19,520 --> 01:46:22,229 conversations that we're going to be having over this next several months. 5430 01:46:22,229 --> 01:46:22,239 having over this next several months. 5431 01:46:22,239 --> 01:46:24,950 having over this next several months. This work has been very very deliberate 5432 01:46:24,950 --> 01:46:24,960 This work has been very very deliberate 5433 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:31,669 This work has been very very deliberate over this course of time. 5434 01:46:31,669 --> 01:46:31,679 5435 01:46:31,679 --> 01:46:37,030 over a five-year period uh from 2019 to 5436 01:46:37,030 --> 01:46:37,040 over a five-year period uh from 2019 to 5437 01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:39,750 over a five-year period uh from 2019 to 20124, our enrollment declined by over 5438 01:46:39,750 --> 01:46:39,760 20124, our enrollment declined by over 5439 01:46:39,760 --> 01:46:42,149 20124, our enrollment declined by over 2,800 students. So, what has changed 5440 01:46:42,149 --> 01:46:42,159 2,800 students. So, what has changed 5441 01:46:42,159 --> 01:46:44,070 2,800 students. So, what has changed since last year is we declined by 5442 01:46:44,070 --> 01:46:44,080 since last year is we declined by 5443 01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:47,430 since last year is we declined by another 525 students. That's 284 more 5444 01:46:47,430 --> 01:46:47,440 another 525 students. That's 284 more 5445 01:46:47,440 --> 01:46:49,990 another 525 students. That's 284 more students than we projected. This is the 5446 01:46:49,990 --> 01:46:50,000 students than we projected. This is the 5447 01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:52,070 students than we projected. This is the second largest decline that we've seen 5448 01:46:52,070 --> 01:46:52,080 second largest decline that we've seen 5449 01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,310 second largest decline that we've seen since the pandemic. 5450 01:46:54,310 --> 01:46:54,320 since the pandemic. 5451 01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:56,470 since the pandemic. We talked about a number of reasons 5452 01:46:56,470 --> 01:46:56,480 We talked about a number of reasons 5453 01:46:56,480 --> 01:46:58,790 We talked about a number of reasons during the December work session. Some 5454 01:46:58,790 --> 01:46:58,800 during the December work session. Some 5455 01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:00,229 during the December work session. Some of that could be happening at the 5456 01:47:00,229 --> 01:47:00,239 of that could be happening at the 5457 01:47:00,239 --> 01:47:02,070 of that could be happening at the federal level, some of the immigration 5458 01:47:02,070 --> 01:47:02,080 federal level, some of the immigration 5459 01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:05,350 federal level, some of the immigration changes that have impacted us. But we do 5460 01:47:05,350 --> 01:47:05,360 changes that have impacted us. But we do 5461 01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:07,510 changes that have impacted us. But we do know that delaying any further just 5462 01:47:07,510 --> 01:47:07,520 know that delaying any further just 5463 01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:09,750 know that delaying any further just continues to increase the risk to the 5464 01:47:09,750 --> 01:47:09,760 continues to increase the risk to the 5465 01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:12,470 continues to increase the risk to the student experience. We strive to provide 5466 01:47:12,470 --> 01:47:12,480 student experience. We strive to provide 5467 01:47:12,480 --> 01:47:14,550 student experience. We strive to provide it creates additional instability for 5468 01:47:14,550 --> 01:47:14,560 it creates additional instability for 5469 01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:16,709 it creates additional instability for our staff and it challenges the 5470 01:47:16,709 --> 01:47:16,719 our staff and it challenges the 5471 01:47:16,719 --> 01:47:18,950 our staff and it challenges the district's long-term financial uh 5472 01:47:18,950 --> 01:47:18,960 district's long-term financial uh 5473 01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:27,910 district's long-term financial uh sustainability. 5474 01:47:27,910 --> 01:47:27,920 5475 01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:31,270 We currently have the capacity to serve 5476 01:47:31,270 --> 01:47:31,280 We currently have the capacity to serve 5477 01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:34,390 We currently have the capacity to serve over 14,500 elementary students in our 5478 01:47:34,390 --> 01:47:34,400 over 14,500 elementary students in our 5479 01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:36,950 over 14,500 elementary students in our non-charter schools.

Right now, we only serve about 9700 elementary schools. Our 5482 01:47:40,629 --> 01:47:40,639 serve about 9700 elementary schools. Our 5483 01:47:40,639 --> 01:47:44,470 serve about 9700 elementary schools. Our util utilization rate is 67%. Just as a 5484 01:47:44,470 --> 01:47:44,480 util utilization rate is 67%. Just as a 5485 01:47:44,480 --> 01:47:46,709 util utilization rate is 67%. Just as a reminder, utilization is calculated 5486 01:47:46,709 --> 01:47:46,719 reminder, utilization is calculated 5487 01:47:46,719 --> 01:47:49,910 reminder, utilization is calculated enrollment divided by program capacity, 5488 01:47:49,910 --> 01:47:49,920 enrollment divided by program capacity, 5489 01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:52,790 enrollment divided by program capacity, leaving us with over 4,800 open seats in 5490 01:47:52,790 --> 01:47:52,800 leaving us with over 4,800 open seats in 5491 01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:54,709 leaving us with over 4,800 open seats in our elementary schools today. And this 5492 01:47:54,709 --> 01:47:54,719 our elementary schools today. And this 5493 01:47:54,719 --> 01:47:56,790 our elementary schools today. And this is this number is projected to grow to 5494 01:47:56,790 --> 01:47:56,800 is this number is projected to grow to 5495 01:47:56,800 --> 01:48:00,390 is this number is projected to grow to over 5,100 open seats just over the next 5496 01:48:00,390 --> 01:48:00,400 over 5,100 open seats just over the next 5497 01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:03,910 over 5,100 open seats just over the next five years. And one issue we'll discuss 5498 01:48:03,910 --> 01:48:03,920 five years. And one issue we'll discuss 5499 01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:06,950 five years. And one issue we'll discuss among many other issues uh is that we're 5500 01:48:06,950 --> 01:48:06,960 among many other issues uh is that we're 5501 01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:09,030 among many other issues uh is that we're just maintaining a significant amount of 5502 01:48:09,030 --> 01:48:09,040 just maintaining a significant amount of 5503 01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:11,830 just maintaining a significant amount of excess space which is really diverting 5504 01:48:11,830 --> 01:48:11,840 excess space which is really diverting 5505 01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:13,910 excess space which is really diverting limited funds away from the classroom 5506 01:48:13,910 --> 01:48:13,920 limited funds away from the classroom 5507 01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:15,910 limited funds away from the classroom that has real instructional and 5508 01:48:15,910 --> 01:48:15,920 that has real instructional and 5509 01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:23,590 that has real instructional and financial consequences. 5510 01:48:23,590 --> 01:48:23,600 5511 01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:26,790 The core impact of declining enrollment 5512 01:48:26,790 --> 01:48:26,800 The core impact of declining enrollment 5513 01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:29,669 The core impact of declining enrollment is on the student experience. and Robin 5514 01:48:29,669 --> 01:48:29,679 is on the student experience. and Robin 5515 01:48:29,679 --> 01:48:31,270 is on the student experience. and Robin Fernandez, our assistant superintendent 5516 01:48:31,270 --> 01:48:31,280 Fernandez, our assistant superintendent 5517 01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:33,510 Fernandez, our assistant superintendent of schools, has done a phenomenal job of 5518 01:48:33,510 --> 01:48:33,520 of schools, has done a phenomenal job of 5519 01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:35,590 of schools, has done a phenomenal job of explaining this slide. And I'll go into 5520 01:48:35,590 --> 01:48:35,600 explaining this slide. And I'll go into 5521 01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:37,030 explaining this slide. And I'll go into a little bit more detail and then we'll 5522 01:48:37,030 --> 01:48:37,040 a little bit more detail and then we'll 5523 01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:40,149 a little bit more detail and then we'll watch a video. But as our schools move 5524 01:48:40,149 --> 01:48:40,159 watch a video. But as our schools move 5525 01:48:40,159 --> 01:48:42,310 watch a video. But as our schools move from three classes per grade level to 5526 01:48:42,310 --> 01:48:42,320 from three classes per grade level to 5527 01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:45,270 from three classes per grade level to two classes per grade level to one class 5528 01:48:45,270 --> 01:48:45,280 two classes per grade level to one class 5529 01:48:45,280 --> 01:48:47,669 two classes per grade level to one class to now we're even seeing multi-grade 5530 01:48:47,669 --> 01:48:47,679 to now we're even seeing multi-grade 5531 01:48:47,679 --> 01:48:49,750 to now we're even seeing multi-grade classrooms, we know that programmatic 5532 01:48:49,750 --> 01:48:49,760 classrooms, we know that programmatic 5533 01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:51,910 classrooms, we know that programmatic offerings begin to suffer as schools are 5534 01:48:51,910 --> 01:48:51,920 offerings begin to suffer as schools are 5535 01:48:51,920 --> 01:48:54,470 offerings begin to suffer as schools are getting smaller. smaller schools. This 5536 01:48:54,470 --> 01:48:54,480 getting smaller. smaller schools. This 5537 01:48:54,480 --> 01:48:56,229 getting smaller. smaller schools. This shows up as traveling specialists 5538 01:48:56,229 --> 01:48:56,239 shows up as traveling specialists 5539 01:48:56,239 --> 01:48:59,189 shows up as traveling specialists teachers, really complex scheduling, 5540 01:48:59,189 --> 01:48:59,199 teachers, really complex scheduling, 5541 01:48:59,199 --> 01:49:01,350 teachers, really complex scheduling, limited teacher collaboration, and 5542 01:49:01,350 --> 01:49:01,360 limited teacher collaboration, and 5543 01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:03,750 limited teacher collaboration, and reduced access to other enrichment 5544 01:49:03,750 --> 01:49:03,760 reduced access to other enrichment 5545 01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:07,590 reduced access to other enrichment experiences. 5546 01:49:07,590 --> 01:49:07,600 5547 01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:09,990 Board me, board member Quinnland Leea, 5548 01:49:09,990 --> 01:49:10,000 Board me, board member Quinnland Leea, 5549 01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:12,310 Board me, board member Quinnland Leea, you brought this up in October about how 5550 01:49:12,310 --> 01:49:12,320 you brought this up in October about how 5551 01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:14,550 you brought this up in October about how difficult our teachers are working right 5552 01:49:14,550 --> 01:49:14,560 difficult our teachers are working right 5553 01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:16,149 difficult our teachers are working right now, and we want to acknowledge our 5554 01:49:16,149 --> 01:49:16,159 now, and we want to acknowledge our 5555 01:49:16,159 --> 01:49:18,790 now, and we want to acknowledge our staff's effort. As we know, our 5556 01:49:18,790 --> 01:49:18,800 staff's effort. As we know, our 5557 01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:20,310 staff's effort. As we know, our teachers, our principles, our pair 5558 01:49:20,310 --> 01:49:20,320 teachers, our principles, our pair 5559 01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:23,109 teachers, our principles, our pair educators are all working extremely hard 5560 01:49:23,109 --> 01:49:23,119 educators are all working extremely hard 5561 01:49:23,119 --> 01:49:24,870 educators are all working extremely hard with limited resources to provide 5562 01:49:24,870 --> 01:49:24,880 with limited resources to provide 5563 01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:27,990 with limited resources to provide high-quality learning experiences. 5564 01:49:27,990 --> 01:49:28,000 high-quality learning experiences. 5565 01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:30,550 high-quality learning experiences. The effort though as we all know is this 5566 01:49:30,550 --> 01:49:30,560 The effort though as we all know is this 5567 01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:33,189 The effort though as we all know is this is not sustainable. So this year several 5568 01:49:33,189 --> 01:49:33,199 is not sustainable. So this year several 5569 01:49:33,199 --> 01:49:35,109 is not sustainable. So this year several schools were required to implement 5570 01:49:35,109 --> 01:49:35,119 schools were required to implement 5571 01:49:35,119 --> 01:49:38,550 schools were required to implement multi-grade uh classrooms. One teacher 5572 01:49:38,550 --> 01:49:38,560 multi-grade uh classrooms. One teacher 5573 01:49:38,560 --> 01:49:40,629 multi-grade uh classrooms. One teacher said that she would much rather teach a 5574 01:49:40,629 --> 01:49:40,639 said that she would much rather teach a 5575 01:49:40,639 --> 01:49:43,510 said that she would much rather teach a class of 50 students than ever have to 5576 01:49:43,510 --> 01:49:43,520 class of 50 students than ever have to 5577 01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:46,709 class of 50 students than ever have to teach another multi-grade classroom. 5578 01:49:46,709 --> 01:49:46,719 teach another multi-grade classroom. 5579 01:49:46,719 --> 01:49:48,550 teach another multi-grade classroom. very different than an intentional 5580 01:49:48,550 --> 01:49:48,560 very different than an intentional 5581 01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:50,709 very different than an intentional multi-age classroom like community 5582 01:49:50,709 --> 01:49:50,719 multi-age classroom like community 5583 01:49:50,719 --> 01:49:53,430 multi-age classroom like community monaster. This is much different. We're 5584 01:49:53,430 --> 01:49:53,440 monaster. This is much different. We're 5585 01:49:53,440 --> 01:49:55,669 monaster. This is much different. We're giving them our standard curriculum. 5586 01:49:55,669 --> 01:49:55,679 giving them our standard curriculum. 5587 01:49:55,679 --> 01:49:57,590 giving them our standard curriculum. We're asking them to teach two different 5588 01:49:57,590 --> 01:49:57,600 We're asking them to teach two different 5589 01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:00,790 We're asking them to teach two different grade levels in one classroom. 5590 01:50:00,790 --> 01:50:00,800 grade levels in one classroom. 5591 01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:03,350 grade levels in one classroom. Much different than what we have come to 5592 01:50:03,350 --> 01:50:03,360 Much different than what we have come to 5593 01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:07,430 Much different than what we have come to expect. And with that, uh, we will, um, 5594 01:50:07,430 --> 01:50:07,440 expect. And with that, uh, we will, um, 5595 01:50:07,440 --> 01:50:09,750 expect. And with that, uh, we will, um, show a short video. 5596 01:50:09,750 --> 01:50:09,760 show a short video. 5597 01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:11,830 show a short video. As you've probably heard, the Boulder 5598 01:50:11,830 --> 01:50:11,840 As you've probably heard, the Boulder 5599 01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:13,430 As you've probably heard, the Boulder Valley School District is facing 5600 01:50:13,430 --> 01:50:13,440 Valley School District is facing 5601 01:50:13,440 --> 01:50:15,510 Valley School District is facing declining enrollment. But what does that 5602 01:50:15,510 --> 01:50:15,520 declining enrollment. But what does that 5603 01:50:15,520 --> 01:50:17,270 declining enrollment. But what does that mean? and how does it impact our 5604 01:50:17,270 --> 01:50:17,280 mean? and how does it impact our 5605 01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:19,669 mean? and how does it impact our classrooms and students? 5606 01:50:19,669 --> 01:50:19,679 classrooms and students? 5607 01:50:19,679 --> 01:50:22,229 classrooms and students? Well, over the past decade or so, birth 5608 01:50:22,229 --> 01:50:22,239 Well, over the past decade or so, birth 5609 01:50:22,239 --> 01:50:23,830 Well, over the past decade or so, birth rates in Colorado and across the country 5610 01:50:23,830 --> 01:50:23,840 rates in Colorado and across the country 5611 01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:25,910 rates in Colorado and across the country have been diving. And of course, with 5612 01:50:25,910 --> 01:50:25,920 have been diving. And of course, with 5613 01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:27,750 have been diving. And of course, with fewer kids in our neighborhoods, we're 5614 01:50:27,750 --> 01:50:27,760 fewer kids in our neighborhoods, we're 5615 01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:29,910 fewer kids in our neighborhoods, we're also seeing a matching decrease in the 5616 01:50:29,910 --> 01:50:29,920 also seeing a matching decrease in the 5617 01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:32,790 also seeing a matching decrease in the number of kids attending our schools. As 5618 01:50:32,790 --> 01:50:32,800 number of kids attending our schools. As 5619 01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:34,629 number of kids attending our schools. As you may know, school funding is directly 5620 01:50:34,629 --> 01:50:34,639 you may know, school funding is directly 5621 01:50:34,639 --> 01:50:36,629 you may know, school funding is directly tied to the number of students we serve. 5622 01:50:36,629 --> 01:50:36,639 tied to the number of students we serve. 5623 01:50:36,639 --> 01:50:38,390 tied to the number of students we serve. So, as schools have gotten smaller, 5624 01:50:38,390 --> 01:50:38,400 So, as schools have gotten smaller, 5625 01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:41,270 So, as schools have gotten smaller, we've also had less dollars. For a 5626 01:50:41,270 --> 01:50:41,280 we've also had less dollars. For a 5627 01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:43,430 we've also had less dollars. For a while, BBSD has been able to make things 5628 01:50:43,430 --> 01:50:43,440 while, BBSD has been able to make things 5629 01:50:43,440 --> 01:50:45,750 while, BBSD has been able to make things stretch so that all of our schools still 5630 01:50:45,750 --> 01:50:45,760 stretch so that all of our schools still 5631 01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:47,669 stretch so that all of our schools still have all the bigger school services that 5632 01:50:47,669 --> 01:50:47,679 have all the bigger school services that 5633 01:50:47,679 --> 01:50:49,430 have all the bigger school services that we've become accustomed to, like a 5634 01:50:49,430 --> 01:50:49,440 we've become accustomed to, like a 5635 01:50:49,440 --> 01:50:51,510 we've become accustomed to, like a robust offering in specials that rotate 5636 01:50:51,510 --> 01:50:51,520 robust offering in specials that rotate 5637 01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:54,070 robust offering in specials that rotate every week, instrumental music, and 5638 01:50:54,070 --> 01:50:54,080 every week, instrumental music, and 5639 01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:55,669 every week, instrumental music, and dedicated counselors and special 5640 01:50:55,669 --> 01:50:55,679 dedicated counselors and special 5641 01:50:55,679 --> 01:50:58,149 dedicated counselors and special education teachers. Sure, there have 5642 01:50:58,149 --> 01:50:58,159 education teachers. Sure, there have 5643 01:50:58,159 --> 01:51:00,229 education teachers. Sure, there have been sides of strain, but we've been 5644 01:51:00,229 --> 01:51:00,239 been sides of strain, but we've been 5645 01:51:00,239 --> 01:51:03,030 been sides of strain, but we've been largely able to bridge that gap. Maybe 5646 01:51:03,030 --> 01:51:03,040 largely able to bridge that gap. Maybe 5647 01:51:03,040 --> 01:51:04,390 largely able to bridge that gap. Maybe we've had to cut back on school 5648 01:51:04,390 --> 01:51:04,400 we've had to cut back on school 5649 01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,229 we've had to cut back on school administration or have had specialist 5650 01:51:06,229 --> 01:51:06,239 administration or have had specialist 5651 01:51:06,239 --> 01:51:08,390 administration or have had specialist teachers serve multiple schools. But 5652 01:51:08,390 --> 01:51:08,400 teachers serve multiple schools. But 5653 01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:10,390 teachers serve multiple schools. But most folks have been satisfied, if not 5654 01:51:10,390 --> 01:51:10,400 most folks have been satisfied, if not 5655 01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:12,310 most folks have been satisfied, if not even happy about having small schools 5656 01:51:12,310 --> 01:51:12,320 even happy about having small schools 5657 01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:13,669 even happy about having small schools with all the things that they've been 5658 01:51:13,669 --> 01:51:13,679 with all the things that they've been 5659 01:51:13,679 --> 01:51:15,750 with all the things that they've been accustomed to. The problem is that 5660 01:51:15,750 --> 01:51:15,760 accustomed to. The problem is that 5661 01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:17,910 accustomed to. The problem is that things are quickly getting too tight to 5662 01:51:17,910 --> 01:51:17,920 things are quickly getting too tight to 5663 01:51:17,920 --> 01:51:20,950 things are quickly getting too tight to keep us up. So, as some of our schools 5664 01:51:20,950 --> 01:51:20,960 keep us up. So, as some of our schools 5665 01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:22,950 keep us up. So, as some of our schools have had less and less classes at turn 5666 01:51:22,950 --> 01:51:22,960 have had less and less classes at turn 5667 01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:25,270 have had less and less classes at turn grades or across the school, there are 5668 01:51:25,270 --> 01:51:25,280 grades or across the school, there are 5669 01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:27,750 grades or across the school, there are now fewer adults supporting students, 5670 01:51:27,750 --> 01:51:27,760 now fewer adults supporting students, 5671 01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:29,189 now fewer adults supporting students, reducing their access to learning 5672 01:51:29,189 --> 01:51:29,199 reducing their access to learning 5673 01:51:29,199 --> 01:51:31,270 reducing their access to learning opportunities and needed support as well 5674 01:51:31,270 --> 01:51:31,280 opportunities and needed support as well 5675 01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:33,990 opportunities and needed support as well as supervision. The less kids, the more 5676 01:51:33,990 --> 01:51:34,000 as supervision. The less kids, the more 5677 01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,390 as supervision. The less kids, the more complex scheduling becomes. Plus, that 5678 01:51:36,390 --> 01:51:36,400 complex scheduling becomes. Plus, that 5679 01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:38,709 complex scheduling becomes. Plus, that adds a lot of strain to our teachers who 5680 01:51:38,709 --> 01:51:38,719 adds a lot of strain to our teachers who 5681 01:51:38,719 --> 01:51:40,390 adds a lot of strain to our teachers who now don't have the support and 5682 01:51:40,390 --> 01:51:40,400 now don't have the support and 5683 01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:41,830 now don't have the support and collaboration that they typically have 5684 01:51:41,830 --> 01:51:41,840 collaboration that they typically have 5685 01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:43,669 collaboration that they typically have had from other educators teaching in the 5686 01:51:43,669 --> 01:51:43,679 had from other educators teaching in the 5687 01:51:43,679 --> 01:51:45,430 had from other educators teaching in the same grade level. Plus, things are 5688 01:51:45,430 --> 01:51:45,440 same grade level. Plus, things are 5689 01:51:45,440 --> 01:51:47,430 same grade level. Plus, things are getting pretty unpredictable. Teachers 5690 01:51:47,430 --> 01:51:47,440 getting pretty unpredictable. Teachers 5691 01:51:47,440 --> 01:51:49,350 getting pretty unpredictable. Teachers may have to move from grade to grade, 5692 01:51:49,350 --> 01:51:49,360 may have to move from grade to grade, 5693 01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:51,589 may have to move from grade to grade, year to year, and class sizes can go up 5694 01:51:51,589 --> 01:51:51,599 year to year, and class sizes can go up 5695 01:51:51,599 --> 01:51:54,390 year to year, and class sizes can go up and down like a roller coaster ride. In 5696 01:51:54,390 --> 01:51:54,400 and down like a roller coaster ride. In 5697 01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:57,350 and down like a roller coaster ride. In BBSD, we remain steadfastly dedicated to 5698 01:51:57,350 --> 01:51:57,360 BBSD, we remain steadfastly dedicated to 5699 01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:59,109 BBSD, we remain steadfastly dedicated to making sure that our students continue 5700 01:51:59,109 --> 01:51:59,119 making sure that our students continue 5701 01:51:59,119 --> 01:52:01,510 making sure that our students continue to receive a top-notch education from 5702 01:52:01,510 --> 01:52:01,520 to receive a top-notch education from 5703 01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:03,669 to receive a top-notch education from the best teachers in the state. We 5704 01:52:03,669 --> 01:52:03,679 the best teachers in the state. We 5705 01:52:03,679 --> 01:52:05,189 the best teachers in the state. We however know that something has to 5706 01:52:05,189 --> 01:52:05,199 however know that something has to 5707 01:52:05,199 --> 01:52:07,589 however know that something has to change. That is why we will be engaging 5708 01:52:07,589 --> 01:52:07,599 change. That is why we will be engaging 5709 01:52:07,599 --> 01:52:09,510 change. That is why we will be engaging with our educators and community to 5710 01:52:09,510 --> 01:52:09,520 with our educators and community to 5711 01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:11,510 with our educators and community to discuss how we move forward together to 5712 01:52:11,510 --> 01:52:11,520 discuss how we move forward together to 5713 01:52:11,520 --> 01:52:13,270 discuss how we move forward together to make schools resilient while students 5714 01:52:13,270 --> 01:52:13,280 make schools resilient while students 5715 01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:15,430 make schools resilient while students remain at the center of any decisions 5716 01:52:15,430 --> 01:52:15,440 remain at the center of any decisions 5717 01:52:15,440 --> 01:52:21,750 remain at the center of any decisions that we make. 5718 01:52:21,750 --> 01:52:21,760 5719 01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:25,109 So uh last two slides this video and the 5720 01:52:25,109 --> 01:52:25,119 So uh last two slides this video and the 5721 01:52:25,119 --> 01:52:26,550 So uh last two slides this video and the last slide you know I've been studying 5722 01:52:26,550 --> 01:52:26,560 last slide you know I've been studying 5723 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:28,629 last slide you know I've been studying this for four years and the more I study 5724 01:52:28,629 --> 01:52:28,639 this for four years and the more I study 5725 01:52:28,639 --> 01:52:30,550 this for four years and the more I study this it should not depend on where a 5726 01:52:30,550 --> 01:52:30,560 this it should not depend on where a 5727 01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:33,030 this it should not depend on where a student goes on the resources they get 5728 01:52:33,030 --> 01:52:33,040 student goes on the resources they get 5729 01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:34,950 student goes on the resources they get and right now that's the way the system 5730 01:52:34,950 --> 01:52:34,960 and right now that's the way the system 5731 01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:38,310 and right now that's the way the system has evolved by doing nothing access to 5732 01:52:38,310 --> 01:52:38,320 has evolved by doing nothing access to 5733 01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:40,790 has evolved by doing nothing access to programs access to supports has become 5734 01:52:40,790 --> 01:52:40,800 programs access to supports has become 5735 01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:45,589 programs access to supports has become increasingly uneven across uh BBSD so uh 5736 01:52:45,589 --> 01:52:45,599 increasingly uneven across uh BBSD so uh 5737 01:52:45,599 --> 01:52:46,950 increasingly uneven across uh BBSD so uh we already know that declining 5738 01:52:46,950 --> 01:52:46,960 we already know that declining 5739 01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:48,550 we already know that declining enrollment is already straining a number 5740 01:52:48,550 --> 01:52:48,560 enrollment is already straining a number 5741 01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:51,189 enrollment is already straining a number of our schools. Uh how inaction will 5742 01:52:51,189 --> 01:52:51,199 of our schools. Uh how inaction will 5743 01:52:51,199 --> 01:52:54,709 of our schools. Uh how inaction will continue to erode uh equity, stability 5744 01:52:54,709 --> 01:52:54,719 continue to erode uh equity, stability 5745 01:52:54,719 --> 01:53:01,830 continue to erode uh equity, stability and our student experience over time. 5746 01:53:01,830 --> 01:53:01,840 5747 01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:04,470 So um 5748 01:53:04,470 --> 01:53:04,480 So um 5749 01:53:04,480 --> 01:53:06,709 So um as you can see here, this is our 5750 01:53:06,709 --> 01:53:06,719 as you can see here, this is our 5751 01:53:06,719 --> 01:53:09,830 as you can see here, this is our five-year projections. um as you can uh 5752 01:53:09,830 --> 01:53:09,840 five-year projections. um as you can uh 5753 01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:11,589 five-year projections. um as you can uh over the next five years we are 5754 01:53:11,589 --> 01:53:11,599 over the next five years we are 5755 01:53:11,599 --> 01:53:13,990 over the next five years we are projected to decline 5756 01:53:13,990 --> 01:53:14,000 projected to decline 5757 01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:17,510 projected to decline um another 1,700 students. So while all 5758 01:53:17,510 --> 01:53:17,520 um another 1,700 students. So while all 5759 01:53:17,520 --> 01:53:20,070 um another 1,700 students. So while all levels are affected, elementary 5760 01:53:20,070 --> 01:53:20,080 levels are affected, elementary 5761 01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:22,790 levels are affected, elementary continues to drive the most facility and 5762 01:53:22,790 --> 01:53:22,800 continues to drive the most facility and 5763 01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:25,669 continues to drive the most facility and staffing impacts. Um and that's why 5764 01:53:25,669 --> 01:53:25,679 staffing impacts. Um and that's why 5765 01:53:25,679 --> 01:53:30,390 staffing impacts. Um and that's why we're having this discussion. 5766 01:53:30,390 --> 01:53:30,400 5767 01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:32,870 So this slide uh shows our 5-year 5768 01:53:32,870 --> 01:53:32,880 So this slide uh shows our 5-year 5769 01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:36,390 So this slide uh shows our 5-year elementary projections using our 202425 5770 01:53:36,390 --> 01:53:36,400 elementary projections using our 202425 5771 01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:38,470 elementary projections using our 202425 enrollment data. The last slide was 5772 01:53:38,470 --> 01:53:38,480 enrollment data. The last slide was 5773 01:53:38,480 --> 01:53:41,350 enrollment data. The last slide was based on the 25 uh enrollment data that 5774 01:53:41,350 --> 01:53:41,360 based on the 25 uh enrollment data that 5775 01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:44,229 based on the 25 uh enrollment data that you got in December. We have not updated 5776 01:53:44,229 --> 01:53:44,239 you got in December. We have not updated 5777 01:53:44,239 --> 01:53:46,229 you got in December. We have not updated our school by school projections that 5778 01:53:46,229 --> 01:53:46,239 our school by school projections that 5779 01:53:46,239 --> 01:53:48,310 our school by school projections that will come to the board on February 10th 5780 01:53:48,310 --> 01:53:48,320 will come to the board on February 10th 5781 01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:50,229 will come to the board on February 10th during the annual enrollment trend 5782 01:53:50,229 --> 01:53:50,239 during the annual enrollment trend 5783 01:53:50,239 --> 01:53:53,350 during the annual enrollment trend report. However, based on this data, it 5784 01:53:53,350 --> 01:53:53,360 report. However, based on this data, it 5785 01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:55,189 report. However, based on this data, it helps us understand really the regional 5786 01:53:55,189 --> 01:53:55,199 helps us understand really the regional 5787 01:53:55,199 --> 01:53:57,030 helps us understand really the regional patterns which becomes important when we 5788 01:53:57,030 --> 01:53:57,040 patterns which becomes important when we 5789 01:53:57,040 --> 01:54:01,109 patterns which becomes important when we look at the um uh engagement process. 5790 01:54:01,109 --> 01:54:01,119 look at the um uh engagement process. 5791 01:54:01,119 --> 01:54:03,270 look at the um uh engagement process. So, two indicators that we're looking at 5792 01:54:03,270 --> 01:54:03,280 So, two indicators that we're looking at 5793 01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:05,830 So, two indicators that we're looking at here are the number of schools projected 5794 01:54:05,830 --> 01:54:05,840 here are the number of schools projected 5795 01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:08,310 here are the number of schools projected to have two or fewer classes per grade 5796 01:54:08,310 --> 01:54:08,320 to have two or fewer classes per grade 5797 01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:10,470 to have two or fewer classes per grade level and then the regional building 5798 01:54:10,470 --> 01:54:10,480 level and then the regional building 5799 01:54:10,480 --> 01:54:13,030 level and then the regional building utilization which shows how efficiently 5800 01:54:13,030 --> 01:54:13,040 utilization which shows how efficiently 5801 01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:14,950 utilization which shows how efficiently schools are being used or facilities are 5802 01:54:14,950 --> 01:54:14,960 schools are being used or facilities are 5803 01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:17,750 schools are being used or facilities are being used in that region. Uh Boulder 5804 01:54:17,750 --> 01:54:17,760 being used in that region. Uh Boulder 5805 01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:19,189 being used in that region. Uh Boulder continues to experience the most 5806 01:54:19,189 --> 01:54:19,199 continues to experience the most 5807 01:54:19,199 --> 01:54:21,109 continues to experience the most significant uh enrollment decline at the 5808 01:54:21,109 --> 01:54:21,119 significant uh enrollment decline at the 5809 01:54:21,119 --> 01:54:23,270 significant uh enrollment decline at the elementary level. 10 of our 14 schools, 5810 01:54:23,270 --> 01:54:23,280 elementary level. 10 of our 14 schools, 5811 01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:26,470 elementary level. 10 of our 14 schools, 71% of the schools are projected to be 5812 01:54:26,470 --> 01:54:26,480 71% of the schools are projected to be 5813 01:54:26,480 --> 01:54:29,830 71% of the schools are projected to be at or below two classes per grade level 5814 01:54:29,830 --> 01:54:29,840 at or below two classes per grade level 5815 01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:32,229 at or below two classes per grade level uh over the next five years. The 5816 01:54:32,229 --> 01:54:32,239 uh over the next five years. The 5817 01:54:32,239 --> 01:54:34,149 uh over the next five years. The region's overall building utilization 5818 01:54:34,149 --> 01:54:34,159 region's overall building utilization 5819 01:54:34,159 --> 01:54:38,149 region's overall building utilization projected to be at 58% meaning we have a 5820 01:54:38,149 --> 01:54:38,159 projected to be at 58% meaning we have a 5821 01:54:38,159 --> 01:54:40,229 projected to be at 58% meaning we have a substantial amount of space that is just 5822 01:54:40,229 --> 01:54:40,239 substantial amount of space that is just 5823 01:54:40,239 --> 01:54:42,790 substantial amount of space that is just underused. Uh this creates both 5824 01:54:42,790 --> 01:54:42,800 underused. Uh this creates both 5825 01:54:42,800 --> 01:54:45,109 underused. Uh this creates both educational and operational challenges 5826 01:54:45,109 --> 01:54:45,119 educational and operational challenges 5827 01:54:45,119 --> 01:54:47,350 educational and operational challenges and that is why Boulder will be a focus 5828 01:54:47,350 --> 01:54:47,360 and that is why Boulder will be a focus 5829 01:54:47,360 --> 01:54:50,629 and that is why Boulder will be a focus area of the engagement. Uh Lewisville 5830 01:54:50,629 --> 01:54:50,639 area of the engagement. Uh Lewisville 5831 01:54:50,639 --> 01:54:53,189 area of the engagement. Uh Lewisville Superior is also experiencing continued 5832 01:54:53,189 --> 01:54:53,199 Superior is also experiencing continued 5833 01:54:53,199 --> 01:54:55,109 Superior is also experiencing continued declines. Three of our six schools are 5834 01:54:55,109 --> 01:54:55,119 declines. Three of our six schools are 5835 01:54:55,119 --> 01:54:57,189 declines. Three of our six schools are projected to be at two classes per grade 5836 01:54:57,189 --> 01:54:57,199 projected to be at two classes per grade 5837 01:54:57,199 --> 01:55:00,390 projected to be at two classes per grade level or less. The regional utilization 5838 01:55:00,390 --> 01:55:00,400 level or less. The regional utilization 5839 01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:03,030 level or less. The regional utilization is projecting at 61% 5840 01:55:03,030 --> 01:55:03,040 is projecting at 61% 5841 01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:05,189 is projecting at 61% again indicating underuse across 5842 01:55:05,189 --> 01:55:05,199 again indicating underuse across 5843 01:55:05,199 --> 01:55:08,550 again indicating underuse across multiple sites. Lafayette Erie shows a 5844 01:55:08,550 --> 01:55:08,560 multiple sites. Lafayette Erie shows a 5845 01:55:08,560 --> 01:55:10,070 multiple sites. Lafayette Erie shows a different pattern compared to the 5846 01:55:10,070 --> 01:55:10,080 different pattern compared to the 5847 01:55:10,080 --> 01:55:12,229 different pattern compared to the others. We got enrollment that is slowly 5848 01:55:12,229 --> 01:55:12,239 others. We got enrollment that is slowly 5849 01:55:12,239 --> 01:55:15,030 others. We got enrollment that is slowly growing. No schools during the 20 using 5850 01:55:15,030 --> 01:55:15,040 growing. No schools during the 20 using 5851 01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:18,070 growing. No schools during the 20 using the 2425 data are projected to fall to 5852 01:55:18,070 --> 01:55:18,080 the 2425 data are projected to fall to 5853 01:55:18,080 --> 01:55:20,709 the 2425 data are projected to fall to two or fewer classes per grade level. 5854 01:55:20,709 --> 01:55:20,719 two or fewer classes per grade level. 5855 01:55:20,719 --> 01:55:23,750 two or fewer classes per grade level. Regional utilization is at 88% which is 5856 01:55:23,750 --> 01:55:23,760 Regional utilization is at 88% which is 5857 01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:26,310 Regional utilization is at 88% which is a much uh which is much closer to an 5858 01:55:26,310 --> 01:55:26,320 a much uh which is much closer to an 5859 01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:28,709 a much uh which is much closer to an efficient use of space. 5860 01:55:28,709 --> 01:55:28,719 efficient use of space. 5861 01:55:28,719 --> 01:55:31,350 efficient use of space. Um Broomfield continues to see declining 5862 01:55:31,350 --> 01:55:31,360 Um Broomfield continues to see declining 5863 01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:33,109 Um Broomfield continues to see declining enrollment though on a smaller scale 5864 01:55:33,109 --> 01:55:33,119 enrollment though on a smaller scale 5865 01:55:33,119 --> 01:55:34,790 enrollment though on a smaller scale just because we have fewer schools in 5866 01:55:34,790 --> 01:55:34,800 just because we have fewer schools in 5867 01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:37,430 just because we have fewer schools in Broomfield. Uh two of our four schools 5868 01:55:37,430 --> 01:55:37,440 Broomfield. Uh two of our four schools 5869 01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:39,830 Broomfield. Uh two of our four schools are projected to be at or below two 5870 01:55:39,830 --> 01:55:39,840 are projected to be at or below two 5871 01:55:39,840 --> 01:55:42,629 are projected to be at or below two classes per grade level. The regional 5872 01:55:42,629 --> 01:55:42,639 classes per grade level. The regional 5873 01:55:42,639 --> 01:55:45,589 classes per grade level. The regional utilization is at 73% just indicating 5874 01:55:45,589 --> 01:55:45,599 utilization is at 73% just indicating 5875 01:55:45,599 --> 01:55:47,910 utilization is at 73% just indicating some moderate underutilization. 5876 01:55:47,910 --> 01:55:47,920 some moderate underutilization. 5877 01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:50,229 some moderate underutilization. Uh the number of resident students in 5878 01:55:50,229 --> 01:55:50,239 Uh the number of resident students in 5879 01:55:50,239 --> 01:55:53,270 Uh the number of resident students in the area is the cause for concern there. 5880 01:55:53,270 --> 01:55:53,280 the area is the cause for concern there. 5881 01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:55,910 the area is the cause for concern there. So Broomfield will also be an area of 5882 01:55:55,910 --> 01:55:55,920 So Broomfield will also be an area of 5883 01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:58,550 So Broomfield will also be an area of engagement. Uh really the challenge is 5884 01:55:58,550 --> 01:55:58,560 engagement. Uh really the challenge is 5885 01:55:58,560 --> 01:56:00,149 engagement. Uh really the challenge is we're just seeing fewer students across 5886 01:56:00,149 --> 01:56:00,159 we're just seeing fewer students across 5887 01:56:00,159 --> 01:56:03,669 we're just seeing fewer students across the same number of schools. So um and we 5888 01:56:03,669 --> 01:56:03,679 the same number of schools. So um and we 5889 01:56:03,679 --> 01:56:06,390 the same number of schools. So um and we know that the impact isn't even across 5890 01:56:06,390 --> 01:56:06,400 know that the impact isn't even across 5891 01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:08,550 know that the impact isn't even across the district. So the projections really 5892 01:56:08,550 --> 01:56:08,560 the district. So the projections really 5893 01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:11,430 the district. So the projections really help us explain why this regional 5894 01:56:11,430 --> 01:56:11,440 help us explain why this regional 5895 01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:13,910 help us explain why this regional engagement approach is necessary and why 5896 01:56:13,910 --> 01:56:13,920 engagement approach is necessary and why 5897 01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:15,990 engagement approach is necessary and why different regions might have different 5898 01:56:15,990 --> 01:56:16,000 different regions might have different 5899 01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:20,870 different regions might have different solutions as we look at this. 5900 01:56:20,870 --> 01:56:20,880 solutions as we look at this. 5901 01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:21,669 solutions as we look at this. Dr. Anderson, 5902 01:56:21,669 --> 01:56:21,679 Dr. Anderson, 5903 01:56:21,679 --> 01:56:23,270 Dr. Anderson, if you if you could just go back to that 5904 01:56:23,270 --> 01:56:23,280 if you if you could just go back to that 5905 01:56:23,280 --> 01:56:25,750 if you if you could just go back to that slide, Rob, you know, board members, you 5906 01:56:25,750 --> 01:56:25,760 slide, Rob, you know, board members, you 5907 01:56:25,760 --> 01:56:27,270 slide, Rob, you know, board members, you know, I think this is going to be one of 5908 01:56:27,270 --> 01:56:27,280 know, I think this is going to be one of 5909 01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:30,550 know, I think this is going to be one of our greatest challenges is um is we're 5910 01:56:30,550 --> 01:56:30,560 our greatest challenges is um is we're 5911 01:56:30,560 --> 01:56:33,030 our greatest challenges is um is we're solving a problem that's that is coming 5912 01:56:33,030 --> 01:56:33,040 solving a problem that's that is coming 5913 01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:36,070 solving a problem that's that is coming but may not be here yet for everyone. 5914 01:56:36,070 --> 01:56:36,080 but may not be here yet for everyone. 5915 01:56:36,080 --> 01:56:37,990 but may not be here yet for everyone. And uh if we wait till it gets here, 5916 01:56:37,990 --> 01:56:38,000 And uh if we wait till it gets here, 5917 01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:41,589 And uh if we wait till it gets here, it's too late to solve it. And I see 5918 01:56:41,589 --> 01:56:41,599 it's too late to solve it. And I see 5919 01:56:41,599 --> 01:56:44,310 it's too late to solve it. And I see districts across the country kick the 5920 01:56:44,310 --> 01:56:44,320 districts across the country kick the 5921 01:56:44,320 --> 01:56:47,189 districts across the country kick the can and wait until it's too late and 5922 01:56:47,189 --> 01:56:47,199 can and wait until it's too late and 5923 01:56:47,199 --> 01:56:50,070 can and wait until it's too late and then um they they aren't able to listen. 5924 01:56:50,070 --> 01:56:50,080 then um they they aren't able to listen. 5925 01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:51,270 then um they they aren't able to listen. They aren't able to put together 5926 01:56:51,270 --> 01:56:51,280 They aren't able to put together 5927 01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:53,910 They aren't able to put together thoughtful plans. Uh you know, the the 5928 01:56:53,910 --> 01:56:53,920 thoughtful plans. Uh you know, the the 5929 01:56:53,920 --> 01:56:56,470 thoughtful plans. Uh you know, the the the five-year projection data is if we 5930 01:56:56,470 --> 01:56:56,480 the five-year projection data is if we 5931 01:56:56,480 --> 01:56:58,629 the five-year projection data is if we stay on projection, 5932 01:56:58,629 --> 01:56:58,639 stay on projection, 5933 01:56:58,639 --> 01:57:01,270 stay on projection, um again, we were off our projection by 5934 01:57:01,270 --> 01:57:01,280 um again, we were off our projection by 5935 01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:05,589 um again, we were off our projection by 284 students. That's roughly $3 million 5936 01:57:05,589 --> 01:57:05,599 284 students. That's roughly $3 million 5937 01:57:05,599 --> 01:57:08,149 284 students. That's roughly $3 million in actual dollars uh to the school 5938 01:57:08,149 --> 01:57:08,159 in actual dollars uh to the school 5939 01:57:08,159 --> 01:57:09,830 in actual dollars uh to the school district with the idea that around a 5940 01:57:09,830 --> 01:57:09,840 district with the idea that around a 5941 01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:12,709 district with the idea that around a hundred kids is is more or less a 5942 01:57:12,709 --> 01:57:12,719 hundred kids is is more or less a 5943 01:57:12,719 --> 01:57:14,390 hundred kids is is more or less a million dollars in today's school 5944 01:57:14,390 --> 01:57:14,400 million dollars in today's school 5945 01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:17,910 million dollars in today's school finance act. And so as we engage, I 5946 01:57:17,910 --> 01:57:17,920 finance act. And so as we engage, I 5947 01:57:17,920 --> 01:57:19,189 finance act. And so as we engage, I think one of the things that we're going 5948 01:57:19,189 --> 01:57:19,199 think one of the things that we're going 5949 01:57:19,199 --> 01:57:22,229 think one of the things that we're going to be talking and really focusing on is 5950 01:57:22,229 --> 01:57:22,239 to be talking and really focusing on is 5951 01:57:22,239 --> 01:57:24,070 to be talking and really focusing on is making sure everybody understands the 5952 01:57:24,070 --> 01:57:24,080 making sure everybody understands the 5953 01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:27,189 making sure everybody understands the problems of tomorrow, right, within the 5954 01:57:27,189 --> 01:57:27,199 problems of tomorrow, right, within the 5955 01:57:27,199 --> 01:57:30,550 problems of tomorrow, right, within the context of today. And uh and so as as 5956 01:57:30,550 --> 01:57:30,560 context of today. And uh and so as as 5957 01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:32,310 context of today.

One thing I've heard a lot about over 6736 02:13:30,709 --> 02:13:30,719 One thing I've heard a lot about over 6737 02:13:30,719 --> 02:13:32,550 One thing I've heard a lot about over the years in relationship to declining 6738 02:13:32,550 --> 02:13:32,560 the years in relationship to declining 6739 02:13:32,560 --> 02:13:34,550 the years in relationship to declining enrollment is how unpredictable these 6740 02:13:34,550 --> 02:13:34,560 enrollment is how unpredictable these 6741 02:13:34,560 --> 02:13:37,109 enrollment is how unpredictable these conditions have created. how much 6742 02:13:37,109 --> 02:13:37,119 conditions have created. how much 6743 02:13:37,119 --> 02:13:39,669 conditions have created. how much unpredictability schools now have. One 6744 02:13:39,669 --> 02:13:39,679 unpredictability schools now have. One 6745 02:13:39,679 --> 02:13:42,310 unpredictability schools now have. One year a mixed age classroom, one year, 6746 02:13:42,310 --> 02:13:42,320 year a mixed age classroom, one year, 6747 02:13:42,320 --> 02:13:44,629 year a mixed age classroom, one year, two rounds of second grade, one year, 6748 02:13:44,629 --> 02:13:44,639 two rounds of second grade, one year, 6749 02:13:44,639 --> 02:13:47,430 two rounds of second grade, one year, one.

It's staffing coming in and out because you can't guarantee the same 6752 02:13:49,430 --> 02:13:49,440 because you can't guarantee the same 6753 02:13:49,440 --> 02:13:50,790 because you can't guarantee the same specialist teachers. We're stitching 6754 02:13:50,790 --> 02:13:50,800 specialist teachers. We're stitching 6755 02:13:50,800 --> 02:13:53,270 specialist teachers. We're stitching together FTE to make our our employees 6756 02:13:53,270 --> 02:13:53,280 together FTE to make our our employees 6757 02:13:53,280 --> 02:13:55,189 together FTE to make our our employees whole. 6758 02:13:55,189 --> 02:13:55,199 whole. 6759 02:13:55,199 --> 02:13:57,669 whole. I hope at the end of this the vast 6760 02:13:57,669 --> 02:13:57,679 I hope at the end of this the vast 6761 02:13:57,679 --> 02:13:59,270 I hope at the end of this the vast majority of our schools have a high 6762 02:13:59,270 --> 02:13:59,280 majority of our schools have a high 6763 02:13:59,280 --> 02:14:00,950 majority of our schools have a high degree of predictability around class 6764 02:14:00,950 --> 02:14:00,960 degree of predictability around class 6765 02:14:00,960 --> 02:14:03,910 degree of predictability around class size, around staffing, around all the 6766 02:14:03,910 --> 02:14:03,920 size, around staffing, around all the 6767 02:14:03,920 --> 02:14:05,750 size, around staffing, around all the great opportunities that our schools 6768 02:14:05,750 --> 02:14:05,760 great opportunities that our schools 6769 02:14:05,760 --> 02:14:07,270 great opportunities that our schools when they were bigger consistently 6770 02:14:07,270 --> 02:14:07,280 when they were bigger consistently 6771 02:14:07,280 --> 02:14:09,830 when they were bigger consistently offered things like math olympiad and 6772 02:14:09,830 --> 02:14:09,840 offered things like math olympiad and 6773 02:14:09,840 --> 02:14:12,310 offered things like math olympiad and spelling be and go and battle of the 6774 02:14:12,310 --> 02:14:12,320 spelling be and go and battle of the 6775 02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:14,069 spelling be and go and battle of the books. all of the fun things that are 6776 02:14:14,069 --> 02:14:14,079 books. all of the fun things that are 6777 02:14:14,079 --> 02:14:15,830 books. all of the fun things that are harder to do when you have less staff to 6778 02:14:15,830 --> 02:14:15,840 harder to do when you have less staff to 6779 02:14:15,840 --> 02:14:17,990 harder to do when you have less staff to support schools, consistent full-time 6780 02:14:17,990 --> 02:14:18,000 support schools, consistent full-time 6781 02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:19,990 support schools, consistent full-time librarians, counselors, we heard from 6782 02:14:19,990 --> 02:14:20,000 librarians, counselors, we heard from 6783 02:14:20,000 --> 02:14:21,109 librarians, counselors, we heard from the DACK, like these things are 6784 02:14:21,109 --> 02:14:21,119 the DACK, like these things are 6785 02:14:21,119 --> 02:14:22,950 the DACK, like these things are incredibly important to schools, 6786 02:14:22,950 --> 02:14:22,960 incredibly important to schools, 6787 02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:25,030 incredibly important to schools, interventionists, all of it's harder to 6788 02:14:25,030 --> 02:14:25,040 interventionists, all of it's harder to 6789 02:14:25,040 --> 02:14:29,589 interventionists, all of it's harder to do when we have smaller schools. And so 6790 02:14:29,589 --> 02:14:29,599 do when we have smaller schools. And so 6791 02:14:29,599 --> 02:14:33,589 do when we have smaller schools. And so for me, I think a lot about what kind of 6792 02:14:33,589 --> 02:14:33,599 for me, I think a lot about what kind of 6793 02:14:33,599 --> 02:14:35,910 for me, I think a lot about what kind of positive experiences once we're through 6794 02:14:35,910 --> 02:14:35,920 positive experiences once we're through 6795 02:14:35,920 --> 02:14:37,669 positive experiences once we're through this phase of change our students are 6796 02:14:37,669 --> 02:14:37,679 this phase of change our students are 6797 02:14:37,679 --> 02:14:40,390 this phase of change our students are really going to have. And I keep leaning 6798 02:14:40,390 --> 02:14:40,400 really going to have. And I keep leaning 6799 02:14:40,400 --> 02:14:42,550 really going to have. And I keep leaning into that. My kids had the good fortune 6800 02:14:42,550 --> 02:14:42,560 into that. My kids had the good fortune 6801 02:14:42,560 --> 02:14:43,990 into that. My kids had the good fortune of attending schools that were three 6802 02:14:43,990 --> 02:14:44,000 of attending schools that were three 6803 02:14:44,000 --> 02:14:47,350 of attending schools that were three rounds, had all of the stuff. 6804 02:14:47,350 --> 02:14:47,360 rounds, had all of the stuff. 6805 02:14:47,360 --> 02:14:48,950 rounds, had all of the stuff. It's hard when you don't have all the 6806 02:14:48,950 --> 02:14:48,960 It's hard when you don't have all the 6807 02:14:48,960 --> 02:14:50,229 It's hard when you don't have all the stuff and all the supports. And it's 6808 02:14:50,229 --> 02:14:50,239 stuff and all the supports. And it's 6809 02:14:50,239 --> 02:14:52,310 stuff and all the supports. And it's really hard on our staff trying really 6810 02:14:52,310 --> 02:14:52,320 really hard on our staff trying really 6811 02:14:52,320 --> 02:14:55,430 really hard on our staff trying really hard to like it's like the Wizard of Oz, 6812 02:14:55,430 --> 02:14:55,440 hard to like it's like the Wizard of Oz, 6813 02:14:55,440 --> 02:14:57,189 hard to like it's like the Wizard of Oz, the man behind the behind the curtain 6814 02:14:57,189 --> 02:14:57,199 the man behind the behind the curtain 6815 02:14:57,199 --> 02:15:00,390 the man behind the behind the curtain trying to make it be amazing for our 6816 02:15:00,390 --> 02:15:00,400 trying to make it be amazing for our 6817 02:15:00,400 --> 02:15:01,510 trying to make it be amazing for our students and they're doing an awesome 6818 02:15:01,510 --> 02:15:01,520 students and they're doing an awesome 6819 02:15:01,520 --> 02:15:03,270 students and they're doing an awesome job and I really wish they didn't have 6820 02:15:03,270 --> 02:15:03,280 job and I really wish they didn't have 6821 02:15:03,280 --> 02:15:06,550 job and I really wish they didn't have to work that hard to do it. So I think 6822 02:15:06,550 --> 02:15:06,560 to work that hard to do it. So I think 6823 02:15:06,560 --> 02:15:09,510 to work that hard to do it. So I think through the end of this my hope is the 6824 02:15:09,510 --> 02:15:09,520 through the end of this my hope is the 6825 02:15:09,520 --> 02:15:11,910 through the end of this my hope is the outcome is positive. It is really 6826 02:15:11,910 --> 02:15:11,920 outcome is positive. It is really 6827 02:15:11,920 --> 02:15:14,390 outcome is positive. It is really predictable. It's what's right for our 6828 02:15:14,390 --> 02:15:14,400 predictable. It's what's right for our 6829 02:15:14,400 --> 02:15:15,750 predictable. It's what's right for our students. It's what's right for our 6830 02:15:15,750 --> 02:15:15,760 students. It's what's right for our 6831 02:15:15,760 --> 02:15:17,589 students. It's what's right for our staff. It's what's right for our 6832 02:15:17,589 --> 02:15:17,599 staff. It's what's right for our 6833 02:15:17,599 --> 02:15:19,430 staff. It's what's right for our taxpayer dollars in what is an 6834 02:15:19,430 --> 02:15:19,440 taxpayer dollars in what is an 6835 02:15:19,440 --> 02:15:21,189 taxpayer dollars in what is an incredibly challenging fiscal 6836 02:15:21,189 --> 02:15:21,199 incredibly challenging fiscal 6837 02:15:21,199 --> 02:15:24,149 incredibly challenging fiscal environment. So those are my big goals 6838 02:15:24,149 --> 02:15:24,159 environment. So those are my big goals 6839 02:15:24,159 --> 02:15:27,030 environment. So those are my big goals um with this process and I hope to have 6840 02:15:27,030 --> 02:15:27,040 um with this process and I hope to have 6841 02:15:27,040 --> 02:15:28,790 um with this process and I hope to have our community there with us. The other 6842 02:15:28,790 --> 02:15:28,800 our community there with us. The other 6843 02:15:28,800 --> 02:15:30,390 our community there with us. The other thing that we hear a lot about is how 6844 02:15:30,390 --> 02:15:30,400 thing that we hear a lot about is how 6845 02:15:30,400 --> 02:15:32,629 thing that we hear a lot about is how not nice our facilities are. And I keep 6846 02:15:32,629 --> 02:15:32,639 not nice our facilities are. And I keep 6847 02:15:32,639 --> 02:15:35,990 not nice our facilities are. And I keep thinking to myself, man, what if we had 6848 02:15:35,990 --> 02:15:36,000 thinking to myself, man, what if we had 6849 02:15:36,000 --> 02:15:37,669 thinking to myself, man, what if we had that same amount of facility dollars to 6850 02:15:37,669 --> 02:15:37,679 that same amount of facility dollars to 6851 02:15:37,679 --> 02:15:39,109 that same amount of facility dollars to be spread around fewer schools? Could 6852 02:15:39,109 --> 02:15:39,119 be spread around fewer schools? Could 6853 02:15:39,119 --> 02:15:41,350 be spread around fewer schools? Could they look better? That might be really 6854 02:15:41,350 --> 02:15:41,360 they look better? That might be really 6855 02:15:41,360 --> 02:15:42,950 they look better? That might be really awesome.

Do you did 7446 02:34:44,550 --> 02:34:44,560 into policy DB from this one. Do you did 7447 02:34:44,560 --> 02:34:45,990 into policy DB from this one. Do you did we just find that there wasn't anything 7448 02:34:45,990 --> 02:34:46,000 we just find that there wasn't anything 7449 02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:47,510 we just find that there wasn't anything worth saving? 7450 02:34:47,510 --> 02:34:47,520 worth saving? 7451 02:34:47,520 --> 02:34:51,510 worth saving? Um, sort of. We did find one line um 7452 02:34:51,510 --> 02:34:51,520 Um, sort of. We did find one line um 7453 02:34:51,520 --> 02:34:54,230 Um, sort of. We did find one line um that we think that we may pull over and 7454 02:34:54,230 --> 02:34:54,240 that we think that we may pull over and 7455 02:34:54,240 --> 02:34:57,110 that we think that we may pull over and put into DB when the board uh looks at 7456 02:34:57,110 --> 02:34:57,120 put into DB when the board uh looks at 7457 02:34:57,120 --> 02:34:59,670 put into DB when the board uh looks at this the next time. There's one line 7458 02:34:59,670 --> 02:34:59,680 this the next time. There's one line 7459 02:34:59,680 --> 02:35:03,270 this the next time. There's one line that uh our CFO Bill Sutter recommends 7460 02:35:03,270 --> 02:35:03,280 that uh our CFO Bill Sutter recommends 7461 02:35:03,280 --> 02:35:05,429 that uh our CFO Bill Sutter recommends that we pull over. And this was feedback 7462 02:35:05,429 --> 02:35:05,439 that we pull over. And this was feedback 7463 02:35:05,439 --> 02:35:07,830 that we pull over. And this was feedback that Bill was timely with, but I wasn't 7464 02:35:07,830 --> 02:35:07,840 that Bill was timely with, but I wasn't 7465 02:35:07,840 --> 02:35:09,830 that Bill was timely with, but I wasn't necessarily in responding, so you'll see 7466 02:35:09,830 --> 02:35:09,840 necessarily in responding, so you'll see 7467 02:35:09,840 --> 02:35:12,790 necessarily in responding, so you'll see it in your next meeting. Um, and that 7468 02:35:12,790 --> 02:35:12,800 it in your next meeting. Um, and that 7469 02:35:12,800 --> 02:35:14,469 it in your next meeting. Um, and that the one sentence that we would talk 7470 02:35:14,469 --> 02:35:14,479 the one sentence that we would talk 7471 02:35:14,479 --> 02:35:17,670 the one sentence that we would talk about is that unencumbered monies shall 7472 02:35:17,670 --> 02:35:17,680 about is that unencumbered monies shall 7473 02:35:17,680 --> 02:35:19,910 about is that unencumbered monies shall not be transferred from one fund to 7474 02:35:19,910 --> 02:35:19,920 not be transferred from one fund to 7475 02:35:19,920 --> 02:35:22,389 not be transferred from one fund to another unless authorized by a board 7476 02:35:22,389 --> 02:35:22,399 another unless authorized by a board 7477 02:35:22,399 --> 02:35:24,550 another unless authorized by a board resolution. So that would be the one 7478 02:35:24,550 --> 02:35:24,560 resolution. So that would be the one 7479 02:35:24,560 --> 02:35:26,710 resolution. So that would be the one sentence that you'll see reflected in 7480 02:35:26,710 --> 02:35:26,720 sentence that you'll see reflected in 7481 02:35:26,720 --> 02:35:32,790 sentence that you'll see reflected in DB. 7482 02:35:32,790 --> 02:35:32,800 7483 02:35:32,800 --> 02:35:34,710 That is a good sentence to transfer 7484 02:35:34,710 --> 02:35:34,720 That is a good sentence to transfer 7485 02:35:34,720 --> 02:35:37,270 That is a good sentence to transfer over. 7486 02:35:37,270 --> 02:35:37,280 over. 7487 02:35:37,280 --> 02:35:39,990 over. Um, and board members, none of these 7488 02:35:39,990 --> 02:35:40,000 Um, and board members, none of these 7489 02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:45,510 Um, and board members, none of these policies are required for us. Just as a 7490 02:35:45,510 --> 02:35:45,520 policies are required for us. Just as a 7491 02:35:45,520 --> 02:35:48,230 policies are required for us. Just as a item to note, they're not required by 7492 02:35:48,230 --> 02:35:48,240 item to note, they're not required by 7493 02:35:48,240 --> 02:35:50,309 item to note, they're not required by state law or CASBY or because so much of 7494 02:35:50,309 --> 02:35:50,319 state law or CASBY or because so much of 7495 02:35:50,319 --> 02:35:52,150 state law or CASBY or because so much of the language is within the law itself. 7496 02:35:52,150 --> 02:35:52,160 the language is within the law itself. 7497 02:35:52,160 --> 02:35:54,870 the language is within the law itself. So that's exactly correct about this 7498 02:35:54,870 --> 02:35:54,880 So that's exactly correct about this 7499 02:35:54,880 --> 02:35:57,510 So that's exactly correct about this really this entire chapter of policy. 7500 02:35:57,510 --> 02:35:57,520 really this entire chapter of policy. 7501 02:35:57,520 --> 02:35:59,429 really this entire chapter of policy. Yeah. 7502 02:35:59,429 --> 02:35:59,439 Yeah. 7503 02:35:59,439 --> 02:36:00,790 Yeah. Okay, next policy. 7504 02:36:00,790 --> 02:36:00,800 Okay, next policy. 7505 02:36:00,800 --> 02:36:03,590 Okay, next policy. So then the next policy is DFA. This is 7506 02:36:03,590 --> 02:36:03,600 So then the next policy is DFA. This is 7507 02:36:03,600 --> 02:36:06,230 So then the next policy is DFA. This is the cash management and investment 7508 02:36:06,230 --> 02:36:06,240 the cash management and investment 7509 02:36:06,240 --> 02:36:10,550 the cash management and investment policy. This is a sevenpage policy with 7510 02:36:10,550 --> 02:36:10,560 policy. This is a sevenpage policy with 7511 02:36:10,560 --> 02:36:13,510 policy. This is a sevenpage policy with lots and lots of detail. As the board 7512 02:36:13,510 --> 02:36:13,520 lots and lots of detail. As the board 7513 02:36:13,520 --> 02:36:15,429 lots and lots of detail. As the board knows, I think that when you start 7514 02:36:15,429 --> 02:36:15,439 knows, I think that when you start 7515 02:36:15,439 --> 02:36:18,070 knows, I think that when you start getting to seven pages, it's really hard 7516 02:36:18,070 --> 02:36:18,080 getting to seven pages, it's really hard 7517 02:36:18,080 --> 02:36:22,150 getting to seven pages, it's really hard for our staff to stay attuned to all the 7518 02:36:22,150 --> 02:36:22,160 for our staff to stay attuned to all the 7519 02:36:22,160 --> 02:36:24,309 for our staff to stay attuned to all the details that may reside in a seven-page 7520 02:36:24,309 --> 02:36:24,319 details that may reside in a seven-page 7521 02:36:24,319 --> 02:36:26,550 details that may reside in a seven-page policy. So unless it's specifically 7522 02:36:26,550 --> 02:36:26,560 policy. So unless it's specifically 7523 02:36:26,560 --> 02:36:29,190 policy. So unless it's specifically required by law or necessary, it just 7524 02:36:29,190 --> 02:36:29,200 required by law or necessary, it just 7525 02:36:29,200 --> 02:36:32,150 required by law or necessary, it just generally isn't a great practice. So we 7526 02:36:32,150 --> 02:36:32,160 generally isn't a great practice. So we 7527 02:36:32,160 --> 02:36:35,990 generally isn't a great practice. So we have substantially reduced um this one 7528 02:36:35,990 --> 02:36:36,000 have substantially reduced um this one 7529 02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:41,510 have substantially reduced um this one to align with law and regulations. 7530 02:36:41,510 --> 02:36:41,520 7531 02:36:41,520 --> 02:36:43,510 And that's what I have to say about 7532 02:36:43,510 --> 02:36:43,520 And that's what I have to say about 7533 02:36:43,520 --> 02:36:47,670 And that's what I have to say about policy DFA. 7534 02:36:47,670 --> 02:36:47,680 7535 02:36:47,680 --> 02:36:49,030 Board members, any questions or comments 7536 02:36:49,030 --> 02:36:49,040 Board members, any questions or comments 7537 02:36:49,040 --> 02:36:53,990 Board members, any questions or comments on DFA? 7538 02:36:53,990 --> 02:36:54,000 7539 02:36:54,000 --> 02:36:56,150 hearing none. Let's carry on. 7540 02:36:56,150 --> 02:36:56,160 hearing none. Let's carry on. 7541 02:36:56,160 --> 02:36:59,190 hearing none. Let's carry on. Moving on to board policy DG. This is 7542 02:36:59,190 --> 02:36:59,200 Moving on to board policy DG. This is 7543 02:36:59,200 --> 02:37:02,469 Moving on to board policy DG. This is the banking services depository of funds 7544 02:37:02,469 --> 02:37:02,479 the banking services depository of funds 7545 02:37:02,479 --> 02:37:05,510 the banking services depository of funds and authorized services uh authorized 7546 02:37:05,510 --> 02:37:05,520 and authorized services uh authorized 7547 02:37:05,520 --> 02:37:08,469 and authorized services uh authorized signatures policy which is funny because 7548 02:37:08,469 --> 02:37:08,479 signatures policy which is funny because 7549 02:37:08,479 --> 02:37:10,389 signatures policy which is funny because it's really never included authorized 7550 02:37:10,389 --> 02:37:10,399 it's really never included authorized 7551 02:37:10,399 --> 02:37:13,030 it's really never included authorized signatures. So I think the title was a 7552 02:37:13,030 --> 02:37:13,040 signatures. So I think the title was a 7553 02:37:13,040 --> 02:37:16,630 signatures. So I think the title was a mismatch for quite a while. um this 7554 02:37:16,630 --> 02:37:16,640 mismatch for quite a while. um this 7555 02:37:16,640 --> 02:37:19,590 mismatch for quite a while. um this policy candidly, we are taking out a lot 7556 02:37:19,590 --> 02:37:19,600 policy candidly, we are taking out a lot 7557 02:37:19,600 --> 02:37:21,429 policy candidly, we are taking out a lot of the information that's just not 7558 02:37:21,429 --> 02:37:21,439 of the information that's just not 7559 02:37:21,439 --> 02:37:23,830 of the information that's just not necessary or doesn't reflect modern 7560 02:37:23,830 --> 02:37:23,840 necessary or doesn't reflect modern 7561 02:37:23,840 --> 02:37:26,389 necessary or doesn't reflect modern times. There aren't a lot of checks, 7562 02:37:26,389 --> 02:37:26,399 times. There aren't a lot of checks, 7563 02:37:26,399 --> 02:37:28,469 times. There aren't a lot of checks, paper checks that get handed around in 7564 02:37:28,469 --> 02:37:28,479 paper checks that get handed around in 7565 02:37:28,479 --> 02:37:32,230 paper checks that get handed around in this digital age. I do think on this 7566 02:37:32,230 --> 02:37:32,240 this digital age. I do think on this 7567 02:37:32,240 --> 02:37:35,990 this digital age. I do think on this one, um one of the comments that Bill 7568 02:37:35,990 --> 02:37:36,000 one, um one of the comments that Bill 7569 02:37:36,000 --> 02:37:38,150 one, um one of the comments that Bill had to share with us is that the very 7570 02:37:38,150 --> 02:37:38,160 had to share with us is that the very 7571 02:37:38,160 --> 02:37:40,389 had to share with us is that the very first sentence references an official 7572 02:37:40,389 --> 02:37:40,399 first sentence references an official 7573 02:37:40,399 --> 02:37:44,469 first sentence references an official bank. This is CASBY's sample language, 7574 02:37:44,469 --> 02:37:44,479 bank. This is CASBY's sample language, 7575 02:37:44,479 --> 02:37:46,950 bank. This is CASBY's sample language, but more sophisticated school districts 7576 02:37:46,950 --> 02:37:46,960 but more sophisticated school districts 7577 02:37:46,960 --> 02:37:49,750 but more sophisticated school districts do sometimes use investment pools. So, 7578 02:37:49,750 --> 02:37:49,760 do sometimes use investment pools. So, 7579 02:37:49,760 --> 02:37:51,830 do sometimes use investment pools. So, you will see a revision between this 7580 02:37:51,830 --> 02:37:51,840 you will see a revision between this 7581 02:37:51,840 --> 02:37:54,389 you will see a revision between this study session and the next time you look 7582 02:37:54,389 --> 02:37:54,399 study session and the next time you look 7583 02:37:54,399 --> 02:37:58,389 study session and the next time you look at this policy just to reflect uh the 7584 02:37:58,389 --> 02:37:58,399 at this policy just to reflect uh the 7585 02:37:58,399 --> 02:38:00,070 at this policy just to reflect uh the recognition that we have throughout the 7586 02:38:00,070 --> 02:38:00,080 recognition that we have throughout the 7587 02:38:00,080 --> 02:38:02,230 recognition that we have throughout the policies that investment pools that are 7588 02:38:02,230 --> 02:38:02,240 policies that investment pools that are 7589 02:38:02,240 --> 02:38:04,230 policies that investment pools that are appropriate and have the correct 7590 02:38:04,230 --> 02:38:04,240 appropriate and have the correct 7591 02:38:04,240 --> 02:38:10,070 appropriate and have the correct securities can can also be used. 7592 02:38:10,070 --> 02:38:10,080 7593 02:38:10,080 --> 02:38:11,910 That was actually a question I I was 7594 02:38:11,910 --> 02:38:11,920 That was actually a question I I was 7595 02:38:11,920 --> 02:38:14,710 That was actually a question I I was going to bring up. Even like banks, we 7596 02:38:14,710 --> 02:38:14,720 going to bring up. Even like banks, we 7597 02:38:14,720 --> 02:38:17,270 going to bring up. Even like banks, we diversify. So, I'm glad to see that's 7598 02:38:17,270 --> 02:38:17,280 diversify. So, I'm glad to see that's 7599 02:38:17,280 --> 02:38:18,550 diversify. So, I'm glad to see that's addressed. One thing I noticed in this 7600 02:38:18,550 --> 02:38:18,560 addressed. One thing I noticed in this 7601 02:38:18,560 --> 02:38:21,830 addressed. One thing I noticed in this policy is the word monies is spelled two 7602 02:38:21,830 --> 02:38:21,840 policy is the word monies is spelled two 7603 02:38:21,840 --> 02:38:22,950 policy is the word monies is spelled two different ways. 7604 02:38:22,950 --> 02:38:22,960 different ways. 7605 02:38:22,960 --> 02:38:24,790 different ways. Yes, it is. Thank you. 7606 02:38:24,790 --> 02:38:24,800 Yes, it is. Thank you. 7607 02:38:24,800 --> 02:38:27,110 Yes, it is. Thank you. So, let's choose one. Stick with that 7608 02:38:27,110 --> 02:38:27,120 So, let's choose one. Stick with that 7609 02:38:27,120 --> 02:38:29,830 So, let's choose one. Stick with that one. So, that was my second 7610 02:38:29,830 --> 02:38:29,840 one. So, that was my second 7611 02:38:29,840 --> 02:38:33,990 one. So, that was my second comment on that policy. And then um in 7612 02:38:33,990 --> 02:38:34,000 comment on that policy. And then um in 7613 02:38:34,000 --> 02:38:37,349 comment on that policy. And then um in the second to the last sentence there is 7614 02:38:37,349 --> 02:38:37,359 the second to the last sentence there is 7615 02:38:37,359 --> 02:38:40,550 the second to the last sentence there is we state twice with requirements set 7616 02:38:40,550 --> 02:38:40,560 we state twice with requirements set 7617 02:38:40,560 --> 02:38:47,750 we state twice with requirements set forth in state law under both um 7618 02:38:47,750 --> 02:38:47,760 7619 02:38:47,760 --> 02:38:50,070 oh sec sorry under 7620 02:38:50,070 --> 02:38:50,080 oh sec sorry under 7621 02:38:50,080 --> 02:38:50,790 oh sec sorry under I see it 7622 02:38:50,790 --> 02:38:50,800 I see it 7623 02:38:50,800 --> 02:38:52,389 I see it under the paragraph starting with 7624 02:38:52,389 --> 02:38:52,399 under the paragraph starting with 7625 02:38:52,399 --> 02:38:53,510 under the paragraph starting with revenues. Yes. If 7626 02:38:53,510 --> 02:38:53,520 revenues. Yes. If 7627 02:38:53,520 --> 02:38:55,110 revenues. Yes. If we could just 7628 02:38:55,110 --> 02:38:55,120 we could just 7629 02:38:55,120 --> 02:38:56,950 we could just I like the the new language added in 7630 02:38:56,950 --> 02:38:56,960 I like the the new language added in 7631 02:38:56,960 --> 02:38:58,469 I like the the new language added in that green section but we can just make 7632 02:38:58,469 --> 02:38:58,479 that green section but we can just make 7633 02:38:58,479 --> 02:39:00,469 that green section but we can just make that sentence read a little bit easier. 7634 02:39:00,469 --> 02:39:00,479 that sentence read a little bit easier. 7635 02:39:00,479 --> 02:39:02,550 that sentence read a little bit easier. Yes. Thank you 7636 02:39:02,550 --> 02:39:02,560 Yes. Thank you 7637 02:39:02,560 --> 02:39:04,870 Yes. Thank you board members. Any thoughts, questions 7638 02:39:04,870 --> 02:39:04,880 board members. Any thoughts, questions 7639 02:39:04,880 --> 02:39:09,830 board members. Any thoughts, questions on this policy. 7640 02:39:09,830 --> 02:39:09,840 7641 02:39:09,840 --> 02:39:13,349 Okay, we will 7642 02:39:13,349 --> 02:39:13,359 Okay, we will 7643 02:39:13,359 --> 02:39:16,630 Okay, we will move on to Die. 7644 02:39:16,630 --> 02:39:16,640 move on to Die. 7645 02:39:16,640 --> 02:39:18,950 move on to Die. So, the final two policies we'll look at 7646 02:39:18,950 --> 02:39:18,960 So, the final two policies we'll look at 7647 02:39:18,960 --> 02:39:21,750 So, the final two policies we'll look at tonight are really related. We have the 7648 02:39:21,750 --> 02:39:21,760 tonight are really related. We have the 7649 02:39:21,760 --> 02:39:24,870 tonight are really related. We have the audits policy, which I love that its 7650 02:39:24,870 --> 02:39:24,880 audits policy, which I love that its 7651 02:39:24,880 --> 02:39:28,070 audits policy, which I love that its file name is DIIE because 7652 02:39:28,070 --> 02:39:28,080 file name is DIIE because 7653 02:39:28,080 --> 02:39:30,469 file name is DIIE because numbers and audits is not my strength. 7654 02:39:30,469 --> 02:39:30,479 numbers and audits is not my strength. 7655 02:39:30,479 --> 02:39:32,309 numbers and audits is not my strength. So, I'm really grateful we've got Bill 7656 02:39:32,309 --> 02:39:32,319 So, I'm really grateful we've got Bill 7657 02:39:32,319 --> 02:39:36,950 So, I'm really grateful we've got Bill here. So, this die policy on audits, we 7658 02:39:36,950 --> 02:39:36,960 here. So, this die policy on audits, we 7659 02:39:36,960 --> 02:39:39,910 here. So, this die policy on audits, we really just had one update. So, the 7660 02:39:39,910 --> 02:39:39,920 really just had one update. So, the 7661 02:39:39,920 --> 02:39:41,990 really just had one update. So, the language currently says that the board 7662 02:39:41,990 --> 02:39:42,000 language currently says that the board 7663 02:39:42,000 --> 02:39:45,190 language currently says that the board needs to issue an RFP at least once 7664 02:39:45,190 --> 02:39:45,200 needs to issue an RFP at least once 7665 02:39:45,200 --> 02:39:48,389 needs to issue an RFP at least once every 5 years looking for auditors. And 7666 02:39:48,389 --> 02:39:48,399 every 5 years looking for auditors. And 7667 02:39:48,399 --> 02:39:50,870 every 5 years looking for auditors. And this is perhaps other people feel like I 7668 02:39:50,870 --> 02:39:50,880 this is perhaps other people feel like I 7669 02:39:50,880 --> 02:39:53,110 this is perhaps other people feel like I do. There are not an abundance of 7670 02:39:53,110 --> 02:39:53,120 do. There are not an abundance of 7671 02:39:53,120 --> 02:39:56,550 do. There are not an abundance of auditors out there. Um, it may not be 7672 02:39:56,550 --> 02:39:56,560 auditors out there. Um, it may not be 7673 02:39:56,560 --> 02:39:59,270 auditors out there. Um, it may not be prudent or practical to issue a 7674 02:39:59,270 --> 02:39:59,280 prudent or practical to issue a 7675 02:39:59,280 --> 02:40:01,429 prudent or practical to issue a full-blown RFP every year, but it's 7676 02:40:01,429 --> 02:40:01,439 full-blown RFP every year, but it's 7677 02:40:01,439 --> 02:40:03,190 full-blown RFP every year, but it's certainly something that the board has 7678 02:40:03,190 --> 02:40:03,200 certainly something that the board has 7679 02:40:03,200 --> 02:40:05,670 certainly something that the board has the discretion to determine that you 7680 02:40:05,670 --> 02:40:05,680 the discretion to determine that you 7681 02:40:05,680 --> 02:40:08,710 the discretion to determine that you want to do. So, the suggestion here is 7682 02:40:08,710 --> 02:40:08,720 want to do. So, the suggestion here is 7683 02:40:08,720 --> 02:40:10,550 want to do. So, the suggestion here is just to say that the board shall review 7684 02:40:10,550 --> 02:40:10,560 just to say that the board shall review 7685 02:40:10,560 --> 02:40:13,590 just to say that the board shall review whether to issue an RFP rather than to 7686 02:40:13,590 --> 02:40:13,600 whether to issue an RFP rather than to 7687 02:40:13,600 --> 02:40:18,790 whether to issue an RFP rather than to formally require it. 7688 02:40:18,790 --> 02:40:18,800 7689 02:40:18,800 --> 02:40:20,309 That makes sense. Board members, 7690 02:40:20,309 --> 02:40:20,319 That makes sense. Board members, 7691 02:40:20,319 --> 02:40:23,830 That makes sense. Board members, questions, comments? 7692 02:40:23,830 --> 02:40:23,840 questions, comments? 7693 02:40:23,840 --> 02:40:27,270 questions, comments? I have a couple on this one. I was 7694 02:40:27,270 --> 02:40:27,280 I have a couple on this one. I was 7695 02:40:27,280 --> 02:40:29,990 I have a couple on this one. I was looking at the CASBY example policy and 7696 02:40:29,990 --> 02:40:30,000 looking at the CASBY example policy and 7697 02:40:30,000 --> 02:40:31,670 looking at the CASBY example policy and there's a sentence that might be 7698 02:40:31,670 --> 02:40:31,680 there's a sentence that might be 7699 02:40:31,680 --> 02:40:34,150 there's a sentence that might be worthwhile to entertain that says within 7700 02:40:34,150 --> 02:40:34,160 worthwhile to entertain that says within 7701 02:40:34,160 --> 02:40:35,830 worthwhile to entertain that says within 30 days after the board receives the 7702 02:40:35,830 --> 02:40:35,840 30 days after the board receives the 7703 02:40:35,840 --> 02:40:37,270 30 days after the board receives the audit, it shall be submitted to the 7704 02:40:37,270 --> 02:40:37,280 audit, it shall be submitted to the 7705 02:40:37,280 --> 02:40:38,790 audit, it shall be submitted to the state auditor and the state commissioner 7706 02:40:38,790 --> 02:40:38,800 state auditor and the state commissioner 7707 02:40:38,800 --> 02:40:41,110 state auditor and the state commissioner of education. Is it that a requirement 7708 02:40:41,110 --> 02:40:41,120 of education. Is it that a requirement 7709 02:40:41,120 --> 02:40:43,190 of education. Is it that a requirement that 30 days or is it not a requirement? 7710 02:40:43,190 --> 02:40:43,200 that 30 days or is it not a requirement? 7711 02:40:43,200 --> 02:40:44,469 that 30 days or is it not a requirement? Because if it's not, I don't want it in 7712 02:40:44,469 --> 02:40:44,479 Because if it's not, I don't want it in 7713 02:40:44,479 --> 02:40:46,710 Because if it's not, I don't want it in there, but it was very specific and it 7714 02:40:46,710 --> 02:40:46,720 there, but it was very specific and it 7715 02:40:46,720 --> 02:40:47,830 there, but it was very specific and it caught my eye. 7716 02:40:47,830 --> 02:40:47,840 caught my eye. 7717 02:40:47,840 --> 02:40:50,469 caught my eye. Yeah, it's not a requirement. And our 7718 02:40:50,469 --> 02:40:50,479 Yeah, it's not a requirement. And our 7719 02:40:50,479 --> 02:40:53,670 Yeah, it's not a requirement. And our policy has this December 31st date, but 7720 02:40:53,670 --> 02:40:53,680 policy has this December 31st date, but 7721 02:40:53,680 --> 02:40:55,349 policy has this December 31st date, but let me let me look at that and make 7722 02:40:55,349 --> 02:40:55,359 let me let me look at that and make 7723 02:40:55,359 --> 02:40:57,190 let me let me look at that and make sure. I did look at it when I was 7724 02:40:57,190 --> 02:40:57,200 sure. I did look at it when I was 7725 02:40:57,200 --> 02:40:59,830 sure. I did look at it when I was updating this policy to make sure that 7726 02:40:59,830 --> 02:40:59,840 updating this policy to make sure that 7727 02:40:59,840 --> 02:41:01,990 updating this policy to make sure that the December 31st date that was here 7728 02:41:01,990 --> 02:41:02,000 the December 31st date that was here 7729 02:41:02,000 --> 02:41:03,830 the December 31st date that was here would work, but let me take a look at 7730 02:41:03,830 --> 02:41:03,840 would work, but let me take a look at 7731 02:41:03,840 --> 02:41:04,630 would work, but let me take a look at that again. 7732 02:41:04,630 --> 02:41:04,640 that again. 7733 02:41:04,640 --> 02:41:06,630 that again. Okay. And then the other question I had 7734 02:41:06,630 --> 02:41:06,640 Okay. And then the other question I had 7735 02:41:06,640 --> 02:41:10,070 Okay. And then the other question I had is um the CASBY example outlines a lot 7736 02:41:10,070 --> 02:41:10,080 is um the CASBY example outlines a lot 7737 02:41:10,080 --> 02:41:12,870 is um the CASBY example outlines a lot of required inclusions in the audit. I 7738 02:41:12,870 --> 02:41:12,880 of required inclusions in the audit. I 7739 02:41:12,880 --> 02:41:14,630 of required inclusions in the audit. I don't necessarily know that they are 7740 02:41:14,630 --> 02:41:14,640 don't necessarily know that they are 7741 02:41:14,640 --> 02:41:16,630 don't necessarily know that they are helpful and again they're not required, 7742 02:41:16,630 --> 02:41:16,640 helpful and again they're not required, 7743 02:41:16,640 --> 02:41:20,070 helpful and again they're not required, but I also wonder is there a way 7744 02:41:20,070 --> 02:41:20,080 but I also wonder is there a way 7745 02:41:20,080 --> 02:41:22,230 but I also wonder is there a way that we can make sure board members and 7746 02:41:22,230 --> 02:41:22,240 that we can make sure board members and 7747 02:41:22,240 --> 02:41:23,910 that we can make sure board members and the public know what's expected of an 7748 02:41:23,910 --> 02:41:23,920 the public know what's expected of an 7749 02:41:23,920 --> 02:41:26,950 the public know what's expected of an audit that's not living in this policy. 7750 02:41:26,950 --> 02:41:26,960 audit that's not living in this policy. 7751 02:41:26,960 --> 02:41:29,670 audit that's not living in this policy. I I just have that 7752 02:41:29,670 --> 02:41:29,680 I I just have that 7753 02:41:29,680 --> 02:41:31,750 I I just have that that wondering 7754 02:41:31,750 --> 02:41:31,760 that wondering 7755 02:41:31,760 --> 02:41:34,389 that wondering we could use something like in DB in the 7756 02:41:34,389 --> 02:41:34,399 we could use something like in DB in the 7757 02:41:34,399 --> 02:41:36,550 we could use something like in DB in the budget policy where we have a sentence 7758 02:41:36,550 --> 02:41:36,560 budget policy where we have a sentence 7759 02:41:36,560 --> 02:41:38,230 budget policy where we have a sentence that says it's going to follow the 7760 02:41:38,230 --> 02:41:38,240 that says it's going to follow the 7761 02:41:38,240 --> 02:41:40,389 that says it's going to follow the generally accepted accounting principles 7762 02:41:40,389 --> 02:41:40,399 generally accepted accounting principles 7763 02:41:40,399 --> 02:41:42,550 generally accepted accounting principles of we could look at referencing that 7764 02:41:42,550 --> 02:41:42,560 of we could look at referencing that 7765 02:41:42,560 --> 02:41:44,389 of we could look at referencing that sort of professional standard regarding 7766 02:41:44,389 --> 02:41:44,399 sort of professional standard regarding 7767 02:41:44,399 --> 02:41:45,349 sort of professional standard regarding the audit. 7768 02:41:45,349 --> 02:41:45,359 the audit. 7769 02:41:45,359 --> 02:41:52,630 the audit. Okay, that'd be great. 7770 02:41:52,630 --> 02:41:52,640 7771 02:41:52,640 --> 02:41:55,190 And then the final policy that the board 7772 02:41:55,190 --> 02:41:55,200 And then the final policy that the board 7773 02:41:55,200 --> 02:41:57,910 And then the final policy that the board is studying tonight is the audit 7774 02:41:57,910 --> 02:41:57,920 is studying tonight is the audit 7775 02:41:57,920 --> 02:42:01,270 is studying tonight is the audit committee and we have refreshed this 7776 02:42:01,270 --> 02:42:01,280 committee and we have refreshed this 7777 02:42:01,280 --> 02:42:04,710 committee and we have refreshed this language just a little bit. Um I wonder 7778 02:42:04,710 --> 02:42:04,720 language just a little bit. Um I wonder 7779 02:42:04,720 --> 02:42:07,110 language just a little bit. Um I wonder also the one the one question I would 7780 02:42:07,110 --> 02:42:07,120 also the one the one question I would 7781 02:42:07,120 --> 02:42:09,270 also the one the one question I would really have for the board is that the 7782 02:42:09,270 --> 02:42:09,280 really have for the board is that the 7783 02:42:09,280 --> 02:42:12,710 really have for the board is that the audit committee is a board advisory 7784 02:42:12,710 --> 02:42:12,720 audit committee is a board advisory 7785 02:42:12,720 --> 02:42:15,190 audit committee is a board advisory committee. The rest of the board's 7786 02:42:15,190 --> 02:42:15,200 committee. The rest of the board's 7787 02:42:15,200 --> 02:42:17,349 committee. The rest of the board's advisory committees are referenced in 7788 02:42:17,349 --> 02:42:17,359 advisory committees are referenced in 7789 02:42:17,359 --> 02:42:19,590 advisory committees are referenced in the B chapter of policies and they're 7790 02:42:19,590 --> 02:42:19,600 the B chapter of policies and they're 7791 02:42:19,600 --> 02:42:22,070 the B chapter of policies and they're all together as a group that are coded 7792 02:42:22,070 --> 02:42:22,080 all together as a group that are coded 7793 02:42:22,080 --> 02:42:25,030 all together as a group that are coded with BDF. So, this was something that I 7794 02:42:25,030 --> 02:42:25,040 with BDF. So, this was something that I 7795 02:42:25,040 --> 02:42:27,429 with BDF. So, this was something that I didn't make a recommendation on at this 7796 02:42:27,429 --> 02:42:27,439 didn't make a recommendation on at this 7797 02:42:27,439 --> 02:42:29,349 didn't make a recommendation on at this point, but I wonder if it might be more 7798 02:42:29,349 --> 02:42:29,359 point, but I wonder if it might be more 7799 02:42:29,359 --> 02:42:32,070 point, but I wonder if it might be more efficient to have a cross reference to 7800 02:42:32,070 --> 02:42:32,080 efficient to have a cross reference to 7801 02:42:32,080 --> 02:42:34,870 efficient to have a cross reference to the audit policy, leave that in the D 7802 02:42:34,870 --> 02:42:34,880 the audit policy, leave that in the D 7803 02:42:34,880 --> 02:42:37,670 the audit policy, leave that in the D chapter, but move the board advisory 7804 02:42:37,670 --> 02:42:37,680 chapter, but move the board advisory 7805 02:42:37,680 --> 02:42:40,309 chapter, but move the board advisory committee to the B chapter with an 7806 02:42:40,309 --> 02:42:40,319 committee to the B chapter with an 7807 02:42:40,319 --> 02:42:43,590 committee to the B chapter with an appropriate code so that it stays with 7808 02:42:43,590 --> 02:42:43,600 appropriate code so that it stays with 7809 02:42:43,600 --> 02:42:46,710 appropriate code so that it stays with the other like policies. 7810 02:42:46,710 --> 02:42:46,720 the other like policies. 7811 02:42:46,720 --> 02:42:48,469 the other like policies. That was a question I had as well in 7812 02:42:48,469 --> 02:42:48,479 That was a question I had as well in 7813 02:42:48,479 --> 02:42:50,550 That was a question I had as well in part because when I was getting through 7814 02:42:50,550 --> 02:42:50,560 part because when I was getting through 7815 02:42:50,560 --> 02:42:52,710 part because when I was getting through through the list of committees for us to 7816 02:42:52,710 --> 02:42:52,720 through the list of committees for us to 7817 02:42:52,720 --> 02:42:54,309 through the list of committees for us to choose from during priorization, I had 7818 02:42:54,309 --> 02:42:54,319 choose from during priorization, I had 7819 02:42:54,319 --> 02:42:55,830 choose from during priorization, I had to hunt for this one because it's not 7820 02:42:55,830 --> 02:42:55,840 to hunt for this one because it's not 7821 02:42:55,840 --> 02:42:58,630 to hunt for this one because it's not with all the other ones. Um, so I was 7822 02:42:58,630 --> 02:42:58,640 with all the other ones. Um, so I was 7823 02:42:58,640 --> 02:43:01,030 with all the other ones. Um, so I was wondering that makes sense to me. I know 7824 02:43:01,030 --> 02:43:01,040 wondering that makes sense to me. I know 7825 02:43:01,040 --> 02:43:02,550 wondering that makes sense to me. I know that's not where CASBY keeps it and 7826 02:43:02,550 --> 02:43:02,560 that's not where CASBY keeps it and 7827 02:43:02,560 --> 02:43:04,150 that's not where CASBY keeps it and that's why it's probably titled as it 7828 02:43:04,150 --> 02:43:04,160 that's why it's probably titled as it 7829 02:43:04,160 --> 02:43:06,870 that's why it's probably titled as it is, but I think for our community to 7830 02:43:06,870 --> 02:43:06,880 is, but I think for our community to 7831 02:43:06,880 --> 02:43:08,950 is, but I think for our community to understand what our board advisory 7832 02:43:08,950 --> 02:43:08,960 understand what our board advisory 7833 02:43:08,960 --> 02:43:10,230 understand what our board advisory committees are and how they are 7834 02:43:10,230 --> 02:43:10,240 committees are and how they are 7835 02:43:10,240 --> 02:43:11,590 committees are and how they are different than superintendent advisory 7836 02:43:11,590 --> 02:43:11,600 different than superintendent advisory 7837 02:43:11,600 --> 02:43:13,990 different than superintendent advisory ones, having this in the B in our B 7838 02:43:13,990 --> 02:43:14,000 ones, having this in the B in our B 7839 02:43:14,000 --> 02:43:17,429 ones, having this in the B in our B chapter would make sense. board members 7840 02:43:17,429 --> 02:43:17,439 chapter would make sense. board members 7841 02:43:17,439 --> 02:43:19,910 chapter would make sense. board members nodding. So I think that recoding would 7842 02:43:19,910 --> 02:43:19,920 nodding. So I think that recoding would 7843 02:43:19,920 --> 02:43:21,670 nodding. So I think that recoding would be great. 7844 02:43:21,670 --> 02:43:21,680 be great. 7845 02:43:21,680 --> 02:43:24,070 be great. One point I noticed in this policy is 7846 02:43:24,070 --> 02:43:24,080 One point I noticed in this policy is 7847 02:43:24,080 --> 02:43:25,910 One point I noticed in this policy is that in the bullets it talks about 7848 02:43:25,910 --> 02:43:25,920 that in the bullets it talks about 7849 02:43:25,920 --> 02:43:28,070 that in the bullets it talks about quarterly financial reports and then it 7850 02:43:28,070 --> 02:43:28,080 quarterly financial reports and then it 7851 02:43:28,080 --> 02:43:34,070 quarterly financial reports and then it talks about meeting three times. I just 7852 02:43:34,070 --> 02:43:34,080 talks about meeting three times. I just 7853 02:43:34,080 --> 02:43:35,990 talks about meeting three times. I just the committee meets three times but they 7854 02:43:35,990 --> 02:43:36,000 the committee meets three times but they 7855 02:43:36,000 --> 02:43:40,389 the committee meets three times but they receive reports four times a year and it 7856 02:43:40,389 --> 02:43:40,399 receive reports four times a year and it 7857 02:43:40,399 --> 02:43:43,590 receive reports four times a year and it it I'm just wondering in practice 7858 02:43:43,590 --> 02:43:43,600 it I'm just wondering in practice 7859 02:43:43,600 --> 02:43:46,630 it I'm just wondering in practice how how does that math work? 7860 02:43:46,630 --> 02:43:46,640 how how does that math work? 7861 02:43:46,640 --> 02:43:49,110 how how does that math work? Well, and candidly, uh, our audit 7862 02:43:49,110 --> 02:43:49,120 Well, and candidly, uh, our audit 7863 02:43:49,120 --> 02:43:52,710 Well, and candidly, uh, our audit committee is a very dedicated, diligent 7864 02:43:52,710 --> 02:43:52,720 committee is a very dedicated, diligent 7865 02:43:52,720 --> 02:43:56,230 committee is a very dedicated, diligent group of humans, and we will want to 7866 02:43:56,230 --> 02:43:56,240 group of humans, and we will want to 7867 02:43:56,240 --> 02:43:58,150 group of humans, and we will want to take this policy. I brought it to the 7868 02:43:58,150 --> 02:43:58,160 take this policy. I brought it to the 7869 02:43:58,160 --> 02:44:00,710 take this policy. I brought it to the board first because it's a board policy. 7870 02:44:00,710 --> 02:44:00,720 board first because it's a board policy. 7871 02:44:00,720 --> 02:44:02,630 board first because it's a board policy. But I do think it makes sense to take 7872 02:44:02,630 --> 02:44:02,640 But I do think it makes sense to take 7873 02:44:02,640 --> 02:44:05,590 But I do think it makes sense to take both the audit policy and the audit 7874 02:44:05,590 --> 02:44:05,600 both the audit policy and the audit 7875 02:44:05,600 --> 02:44:08,230 both the audit policy and the audit committee policy to the actual audit 7876 02:44:08,230 --> 02:44:08,240 committee policy to the actual audit 7877 02:44:08,240 --> 02:44:10,710 committee policy to the actual audit committee so we can make sure that it 7878 02:44:10,710 --> 02:44:10,720 committee so we can make sure that it 7879 02:44:10,720 --> 02:44:12,710 committee so we can make sure that it connects on issues like that that really 7880 02:44:12,710 --> 02:44:12,720 connects on issues like that that really 7881 02:44:12,720 --> 02:44:17,830 connects on issues like that that really boil down to practice. 7882 02:44:17,830 --> 02:44:17,840 7883 02:44:17,840 --> 02:44:19,590 Lenia, 7884 02:44:19,590 --> 02:44:19,600 Lenia, 7885 02:44:19,600 --> 02:44:22,469 Lenia, I also wanted to point out in practice 7886 02:44:22,469 --> 02:44:22,479 I also wanted to point out in practice 7887 02:44:22,479 --> 02:44:27,190 I also wanted to point out in practice um the community member 7888 02:44:27,190 --> 02:44:27,200 um the community member 7889 02:44:27,200 --> 02:44:29,830 um the community member it this isn't what we do in practice and 7890 02:44:29,830 --> 02:44:29,840 it this isn't what we do in practice and 7891 02:44:29,840 --> 02:44:32,389 it this isn't what we do in practice and so it's okay for it to be different but 7892 02:44:32,389 --> 02:44:32,399 so it's okay for it to be different but 7893 02:44:32,399 --> 02:44:35,670 so it's okay for it to be different but just be sure that uh we correct it to 7894 02:44:35,670 --> 02:44:35,680 just be sure that uh we correct it to 7895 02:44:35,680 --> 02:44:43,190 just be sure that uh we correct it to the way that we are currently doing it. 7896 02:44:43,190 --> 02:44:43,200 7897 02:44:43,200 --> 02:44:45,990 And do you mean the terms or Yeah, the 7898 02:44:45,990 --> 02:44:46,000 And do you mean the terms or Yeah, the 7899 02:44:46,000 --> 02:44:49,269 And do you mean the terms or Yeah, the the term the term and I I myself would 7900 02:44:49,269 --> 02:44:49,279 the term the term and I I myself would 7901 02:44:49,279 --> 02:44:51,030 the term the term and I I myself would be in favor of a longer term for the 7902 02:44:51,030 --> 02:44:51,040 be in favor of a longer term for the 7903 02:44:51,040 --> 02:44:54,070 be in favor of a longer term for the community member, but that's neither 7904 02:44:54,070 --> 02:44:54,080 community member, but that's neither 7905 02:44:54,080 --> 02:44:56,070 community member, but that's neither here nor there.
