continue to be a priority going forward for cps. one of the items on the agenda this evening is the farm-to-school agreement as a teacher that sees this program in action it is amazing to see students learn that they can produce food and feed themselves their families and friends is astounding at the end of the year we made breakfast for our class and the teachers with eggs from the chickens most students had never eaten a farm fresh they were impressed and some even said how can i go back to eating those other eggs. our children are learning how they can care for themselves and their family growing their own food and raising their own chickens the staff at ccua goes above and beyond to help educate not only the students but the staff is well many staff members have shared that they now

did that and it's such an achievement we also wish to acknowledge miss davenport and she begins her retirement and thank her for her invaluable service to our district we offer our sincerest congratulations to all who have been honored here tonight. 2 years ago in june we called for meaningful race racial and social justice reform on behalf of our students and colleagues in the wake of theof george floyd and widespread protests that followed the district produced a well-crafted equity statement which now a company school communication last year we asked for the district to continue the hard work of dismantling an equitable system that sustain the opportunity gap for our diverse learners to extend equity training and restorative practices to all employee groups and to rewrite policy so that our equity value statement stands for tangible actions. while this work continues we see a striking me to address security concerns across the district schools cunea and cmsj will partner to form a joint committee to investigate these concerns to address the district and targeting concerns with specific and timely remedies. last unit this time we also cheer the end of a virtual hybrid and see it here where we never felt we hit our stride with their eyes on a return to normalcy to normal but we can see it from here however there is a rest in our community that has arisen out of the trials we experienced over the last two years we need to continue working to repair it for the sake of our students families and educators alike excellent schools are good for for columbia for our students and scholars and the united community is good. for all of us this year we also face attack on our lgbtq plus students and colleagues from our legislature so we need to double our efforts to make sure our plate our schools are a place where every student feels welcome loved and safe regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression june is pride month and so it's a great time to consider where we can make our schools more equitable and inclusive for our students across the district it is imperative that we do so for the health and well-being of some of our most vulnerable student nea.org has created some excellent resources if we need a place to start. also this year we real from school shootings in texas 19 students who didn't see the last day. many more who are injured or traumatized by seeing their classmates or teacher shot to teachers. many things surrounding an event like this are not in school districts control however it those things that are should be reviewed and updated as necessary want to feel safer they learn and work although we have successfully completed this year of school there is still work to be done we look forward to our continued efforts to make cps the best it can be together i appreciate the opportunity to address the board on behalf of simony a thank you for your sex. thank you president and vice-president gooch. not going to move on to the report of the superintendent of schools and there's a safety brief the president we will have mr. john whitehead about safety to breakfast this evening. good evening thanks sir give me a few minutes to talk about safety and security and wear weave, the last couple of years the last time i addressed the board was shortly after the parkland shooting as you can see in march 12th of 2018 was last time i was in front of you all. i want to take us a little bit of time to kind of give everybody a historical perspective i started not that long ago when i did every single door to every single one of our buildings was unlocked and open there's no such thing as far as nobody heard about secure vegetable entryways we had a camera system that was antiquated it best black and white cameras we had some elementary schools that had zero cameras that were even inside in the hallways some of the schools only had five or six cameras that were on the outside we had a safety and security team of one that was me and i was unarmed in 2018 when i addressed you i talked about we are putting in proximity card readers to our building sword only 19 that had done it been down at the time we were switching over to allowing some of the community outreach unit police officers the ability to use their key fobs to get into our buildings. we are working on all police access but i haven't gotten there yet we were trying to integrate a camera system that we were trying to integrate what was 7 camera systems into one camera system that was costing approximately $1,400 at at at a time. we got it down to three systems in 2018. we had security film on 15 of the buildings with plans to do more of that year we've spent $73,000 by this time mostly exterior glass was done but some interior we are working on securing entryways we are working with architects to evaluate the existing buildings we even did as long as you guys can see out front that we are providing vegetable entryways to other buildings are mainly when it was new construction. we were putting narcan in at our high schools. we were looking to hire a new it security person that handled cameras and new technology network security we continued with our alice training and doing our alice drills every year we had law enforcement that was doing observations when we were conducting those drills we had four sros the time we have nine community outreach officers that were assigned to our buildings we had swat officers doing site evaluations we spent over $100,000 in off-duty money for off-duty police officers to be at our football games are parking lots in just in general adding another layer of security. and 2018 we were up to $75,000. but at the time that i made the report. so where did we go from there. as of today every single one of our buildings that has a key fob entry is being allowed access by our police department to get in i believe we only have five or six more buildings that need to be done and those will be completed by the end of next summer. we've gone to a single camera system for the entire school district cost approximately a million dollars that we spent i think we have 1,300 more cameras right now they are remotely accessed and a viewing capability can be done from afar long as you're on network. we completed the entire security film project that includes every single one of our buildings to to the tune of almost $500,000 was spent on that. we've had those in every ways at every single one of our buildings we continue to work with the architects evaluate with the remaining buildings that we have left. we're trying to provide a single point of entry is probably that the safest thing that we can do is to make a single point of entry every one of our buildings unfortunately we have some buildings that are brand new and some that are over a hundred years old so it becomes quite the challenge all new construction projects will include the safety design. we've spent three and a half million dollars just on vestibule so far with a total of about six million dollars and total security upgrades over the last 4 years. we currently do have narcan and every one of our buildings sorry every one of our secondary buildings that they're actually ndad machines we also carry them as safety security team. retired the digital security technician mr. tyler stone works very closely with with my my guys and with school administrators he handles all the cameras new technology he handled some network security like i said we have well over 1,300 camera said he takes care of. we continue to train and drill our staff and our students all staff will participate in dallas drills during the year every year it's required by the way by law i noted that we started doing thrills prior to the law even coming into effect and we were being taught alice by john warner police officer who we've named the middle school after way before alice was being taught anywhere else. i'm looking to hold a multi-jurisdictional training scenario at one of our schools in july that would involve the sheriff's department police department fire department all first responders so that they can get an idea of how our schools look and we get an idea of what a multi-jurisdictional response would look like in the event of an emergency we continue to do drills a lot of people don't realize that we do a fire drill every month and it all of our schools we have to henna tattoo earthquake drills to severe weather drills long with our intruder drills. currently we have two sros that are signed battle high school. the plan is that when the city staffing becomes available we will add two more to the other two high schools. we spent a total of $111,000 last year and off duty and here before was $90,000 and a lot of that was due to the covid stuffy last not being able to find as many off-duty officers. so where we going in the future communications is very very important we have over a thousand two-way radios throughout the school district and i have mentioned this before when i started i did it was not prepared for how how much the portables were relied on by our staff and our and our principles it literally feels like it's a lifeline for them so i continue to add radios as fast as i can possibly one afford them and to get them in. we currently carry an emergency radio everybody with the safety and security staff wear a school can call us directly. we have an enhanced 911 system throughout the school district where if you dial 911 from any school district telephone i get to listen in on the other half of that call or my safety and security team gets to listen in we're not allowed to talk but we can hear the call coming in is as live call which is actually exceptionally helpful it's it's picked up our response time. we still use for swatch which is a program that we started a couple years ago through which joint communications where we are allowed to get text messages and email alerts anytime a certain set of crimes happen within a geographical fence around every one of our buildings that also is speeding up our response time. again we have two current sros with two more coming shortly. we bet it's five building and safety and security assistance they are the people that work at the front desk of the front desk in the front doors that are three comprehensive high schools they monitor who comes in and out of the secure vegetable entryways there. you have added three additional safety and security coordinators that work directly with me that gives us a total of seven and we are all armed then arm since 2014. we continue with our ongoing security evaluation safety and security everyday we look for any weaknesses that we can 5 everyday and that we are in almost every single building every day so we look for that i've asked ron watson to implore his people with facilities maintenance grounds crew custodial to look for safety and security issues and immediately report them to me could be something like it a door that's been propped open or a door that's not functioning properly or a window that's that looks like it may be broken. we continue with the best practices for a new construction i was talking to you earlier about we we are putting into place severe weather sheltering in all of our new construction or new additions that we're putting in. we have a really good working partnership with all of our first responders including fire marshal's police sheriff's department the fbi we work very closely with them on a daily basis. and we continue to train our own staff in the virginia model threat assessment to include law enforcement take pic comes in at 4 dissipates with us in that. after tragedies like what happened in texas six common and understandable that people would be a little concerned about where we are hoping that this gives everybody a little bit of pieces that we are working on it every single day and we will continue to push forward and make strides and try to be in front of most anything that comes up. 68 and 70 questions. i just want to say thank you and thank you for leadership for allowing this when i asked for it and thank you for forming and just thank you for everything you've been doing since 2018 i mean you've been making sure a kid stay safe for staff stay safe in your soul hyper-focus and so i just appreciate it a lot appreciate it and i i've said it once and i'll say it a hundred times i have come to the school board and asked for a lot of things that i have never been turned down so it is it is definitely felt on my end thank you. all right i'm going to move on to consideration of the consent agenda agenda items 714 e equal opportunity school collaboration agreement as presented. the most person is a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda item 7014 e the equal opportunity school collaboration agreement for discussion i will be abstaining from item 7/14 equal opportunity school collaboration agreement because it's a conflict of interest. this is our chance to ask any questions about anything on the consent agenda or just do that thing. the pasta is this song. i wanted to. ask a couple of questions about the policy jfg a which is item number seven letter d number three. i know it's mostly deals with law enforcement there's been a little bit of discussion in the community about the first paragraph of my understanding for my own research is that this policy in its original form is part of the board policy for every school district in missouri that i checked columbia public schools has made some adjustments to the first paragraph to make it a little more parent-friendly and but i wanted to see just asked as a point of clarification what the policy committee process was and kind of how that went since we not everyone is on the policy committee if anyone has any information about that presents universal chair that committee this policy was up for discussion in that discussion one of our community members shared some concerns so i motioned for this to be tabled for. for them to work on revising some language wasn't right with the motion was seconded it was approved was not a motion to remove language language. when we met and met once i was appointed chair after we made adjustments with new leadership and for leadership may appoint a new chairs we brought this up for discussion in the collaboration our community members collaborated with miss london on some of this language and those two committee members are dr. marjorie gourmet williams and dr. john criswell their concerns they brought up the conversation of wanting to kind of see this language be removed from the policy this was the only policy we're really discussing in may most policy committee meetings you have presents i mean you can tell me if usually last about maybe an hour and a half this meeting lasted two and a half so it was a robust conversation and it was a back-and-forth dialogue on what were the concerns what were the ways that we could find some areas of common ground and compromise and coming to a way of what was really important about this language being here in this is why. we have here i think one of the misconceptions that are within the community is at this is saying that you won't be informed all its states is that fryer there might not be an ability to give prior notice of a discussion that's a literally directly in the language and so me and i was a part of the process that was a part of the discussion that was where we came to this drafting of the language it when you look at this one of the things that got caught was right at the end was be present during the discussions or prohibit conversations between a student and staff members we got rid of it with the proposal here for confront a board gets rid of that and changes that language to state the district is committed to working with parents and guardians to facilitate active participation in their students education as well as to address their concerns about specific staff-student interactions and so that i think that's one of the biggest important pieces that we see here in that kind of back-and-forth dialogue that deep community involvement in utilizing those voices to come to a space where it's beneficial for our parents and for our students as well as beneficial for a staff for the daily real. city of school. thank you. did everyone on that policy committee then sign off on the policy that's in front of us tonight condition for this to be for approval in the consent agenda i do think it's an important point of clarification from the paragraph that he's talking about and like you said it says nothing about keeping conversations between staff and students private that's not what it's about. it says it's it's about being able to hear or on the request for the paragraph in the policy simply says we cannot honor your request my parent that they be notified prior to a conversation with this student it says nothing about keeping that conversation that occurred five it it just says the times for example we want to go outside and say hey let's talk about you. figure out a way to maybe boost your your your grades or get you to you know perform at this level that that sometimes does not you're not able to go get parental permission to say hey can i go talk to you scott about his great you do it and then of course it's nothing is a secret it's totally open and totally fine to discuss with parents or parent the only thing they want to about the scarlet cuz we have to be transparent that way. i just wanted to share as a practical matter of the former english teacher of high school students when it was writing assessment season i would have 5 to 10 scholars at the end of class ask to have a conversation as soon as they got their paper about what the feedback meant i want to remind us that what we're trying to do is create spaces for students to get the best and most rich education that they can and we have to trust the teachers to be able to offer them that and i can tell you that a sixteen-year-old if they don't get that conversation in that five minutes they're going to move on and they're going to they're going to be done and they're not going to get that morning and so i also want to give the perspective for educators in the strain it would put on our teachers in trying to give the best education possible to our scholars if we were to protect them from those kinds of one-on-one conversations with students with the course of the school day. seymour board discussion i just wanted to start it was on that item. i quote i just wanted to highlight a couple items as i usually do each month i won't say the items numbers and specific i just want to skip something i want to think of things to columbia mall the city of columbia trips in jessie when it comes to the work with the afghan refugee grant when it come to columbia mall the continuation and thank you to our special services the continuation of offering work experience for students that are part of our special services programs for a variety of services and our youth experiment worked experience with the city so just thank you to all those partners who are continually working with us i also just a really important collaboration that we have here in boone county that is only possible due to voters years ago proving this and a continuation of his being with a boone county family success center of excellence excellence and with face and really helping us address mental health concerns and targeting and pinpointing these items throughout the district and throughout districts in the whole county. county collaboration in so it's really important that we see these types of ways because this is how we make sure they're not just columbia students are doing well but all students are doing well here in boone county and then lastly i will be just one item 7014 i which is about positive behavior support i think this is one of these examples here in the district where there are certain needs and resources certain buildings need and asked for and this district is working towards providing them and getting those resources to meet the variety of needs that each building has and so i just want to thank our administration for working with our building leaders to pinpoint those needs and give those resources. any further board discussion on consent agenda - item 7014. i prefer to call papa, i want to say thank you doctor your would this answer for your comments thank you mr. will be for a very thorough explanation about the policy and its timeline appreciate it. why is there any public comments on the consent agenda less item 7014 e equal opportunity school collaboration agreement. countdown on a timer on the wall john potter students at cps i wanted to address the policy j. jfg a what most parents are concerned about is that. staff can have it says more about i know you guys talked about academic performances and stuff like that but it's more about the private issues that the the policy pertains to and private conversations. looking at places that have adopted these types of policies around the country. things that have come up have concerned parents as far as you know what what about personal issues dealing with sexuality being the the main one with the sexuality identity of the parent student or a student in the school or classroom what would what is the policy about talking to students about the types of issues in the classroom i've asked you guys plenty of questions about these types of things and haven't got one answer. what did we what what language did we use before this language why is it needed now who's pushing this language into this district or the state i mean just because of the whole states doing it doesn't make it a good idea i think we found that out with. remote learning. why is this needed now we are we having problems with. child abuse not being reported because this policy was implemented did we have problems with. not being able to talk to students about their academic performance is not be able to talk to students about things going on in the classroom. there's a lot of new language policies. written and not written that are in this district and the combination of all these things. especially another districts that have dropped him first around the country mainly big cities that that have we seen all types of examples of staff being able to abuse these policies of every easily parents are afraid that they're going to be able to hide behind this policy if the teacher wanted to talk to their student about theiridentity the the teacher using this policy could hide behind it and say look this was the personal issue that we had to talk to the student about if it was this milk larry because. say gendered someone the wrong you know pronoun or whatever we seen this and other districts lot of questions arise from this kind of stuff and we have not had one. on the public defender 23 minutes per person should countdown timer on the wall, slated to display actions or other matters which could be the subject of a grievance process will be rolled out of order for a music from any use of seen language or disruptive and or threatening behavior table and maybe throw it out in place in the blue box if anyone has an item to share with the board of a not to come for. i probably a little confused so we're not the consent agenda but you've removed 70 14 g. 7 g 14 g equal opportunity school collaboration agreement agreement this isn't a contract to replace furniture fix a roof or expand nutritional options for students say 714 g is equal opportunity. know if i need to stay in echo and golfing. what is any further public comment on the consent agenda les item 7 echo 14 echo equal opportunity school operation agreement. aren't saying that no public comment i'm sorry all those in favor say aye post item 7 echo 14 echo between to school with vibration agreement past is there a motion to approve 7 echo 14 i go to approve item 70 equal opportunity school collaboration agreement as presented. second emotion s is there any further board on this item. i just want to let you all know that as well i will be abstaining just because a faculty member in the program that i am in working my doctoral program is also associated with this company. i see no further for discussion is any public comment. april for out i'll skip that first paragraph in a district are size we have a superintendent assistant superintendents district head counseling principals assistant principal of james and counselors for each school this contract appears to pay a company $81,000 to conduct work that i would think we already have professionals to do if we don't i find a concerning that no one in these positions have the knowledge or experience to tackle such a task to identify students who can be successful in ap courses and seems to me that analysis of students educational needs potential and opportunity would directly aligned with the job descriptions however i'm not an educator so my understanding of these roles could be wrong and therefore maybe it makes sense to pay a company $81,000 students educational needs potential opportunity to comment time limits i will summarize some data i argued that this progress was already being made at least in hickman. write a covid-19 r503 students of color in 9th through 11th grade that could be enrolled in ap courses the following year in the 1920 school year hickman and rolled an additional 48 dudas in these courses for the following year that represents 9.5% of that population who had not been previously enrolled it seems like that would be a significant accomplishment in just one year this number does not include students that were taking do credit or the college courses at the mac soon as her advanced courses should absolutely be reflected in our population this document last details of how students will be identified will this be kind of quota system rather than the best educational placement for students it reminds me of something a teacher once said to me in 2019 we opted our children out of the map testing once you trademark so we can really use his scores take me to math wasn't for his benefit it was because we can really use his scores. so my honor roll super subgroup child could help plays the overall scores of the super subgroup population that historically test lowest on the map i don't want to see underrepresented students being lumped into advanced courses for the fake of reaching an arbitrary number for the district can check off the boxes for the students during the campaign board roles include financial oversight and community accountability as a consent agenda item it would imply to me that you guys have already completely vetted you've asked why we're doing this why we don't have professionals that we've already hired that can identify these people. and so i just questioned why we need to pick up any $81,000 when we have lots of very skilled professionals that appear to have already been doing the job someone successfully. thank you. any further public comment on item 7 echo 14 echo. zenon. the motion is s all those in favor say aye. can you post. at the motion i was looking the two of you and i was wondering why you weren't saying anything. by the motion packs. i can be wanting now to our new business section and the election of a new board secretary of education i want to make sure that we're doing this right we're taking this is nominations same way we do i move to nominate noelle mcdonald as board secretary. does mcdonalds do you accept the nomination are there any other nominations. seeing none be a roll call vote like miss mcdonald or new board of education secretary. give me a call, please. miss wade miss waters yes yes. mcdonald's. thank you for being patient with me. why would i want to move on to the consideration of covid leave extension. you need a motion. i move to approve the coven leave extension as presented. s s macarthur last year we voted to have a policy to allow employees to have up to 10 days of paid leave i'm who are fully vaccinated vaccinated for covid leave i'm starting july 1st of 2021 through the end of the current school year so up this provision will sunset on june 13th 2022 so to reflect the changes and require isolation. and the recommendations from the cdc the administration is now recommending that we reduced the paid leave the five days and i can put our phasing out this leave after the end of december or in response to any other further changes are required isolation. whichever comes first. i think miss macarthur is there any. board comments with a discussion. thank you very much just for continuing to look at what the new guidelines are new kind of recommendations on how to continue responding to covid and support our staff i think this is great that we're opening it up it doesn't matter about vaccination status this isn't there for you to utilize so thank you so much. and for the board discussion. any public comment on this item. artsy no public comment so be a rope although. these waters. motion passes and we want you to consideration of the 2021 2022 budget amendment is there a motion. second motion to s 2122 budget amendments for the current school year and we have to make sure that the what is presented to the board for approval agrees to what is our system in our system and so we have a couple of items that we need to present for reconciliation for you tonight the first one on here is the the $50,000 i think this waters had mentioned last month where we had a difference between our revenues and expenditures for some time that were entered into the system and so we made an adjustment for that in our operating fun you can see the net decrease of $50,000 to decrease the federal revenues and again this is not actual expenditure just as for the budget so that the budget for revenues and expenditures i'm did agree there and the operating fund. and then then operating expenditures and transfers we do have a transfer again we are required to move anyting before purchasing items that are over $1,000 individually over from the operating fund to the capital projects fund as required by the department of elementary and secondary education so we do do that occasionally from various building and departmental budgets so we're moving again at the net zero impact decreasing of service and supply budget and increasing on the transfer line and our operating phone i'm same thing for a capital projects fund expenditures and transfers the net zero impact we have various transfers from the operating budget and then mostly i'm done from various extracurricular activity account or student activity accounts and donations account of $72,283 i'm moving over from those grants and donations and student activity account into the capital projects fund the building purchase those items that cost over $1,000. i think you there any board discussion. say not is there any public comment on this item. tether yes yes. the horn. i didn't think about it when i left to go to the bathroom my apologies everyone. i'm going to move on to the consideration of the 2020 to 2023 budget. i move to approve the 2020 to 2023 budget as presented night for the public to make comments on our 2223 budget or just going to quickly go through the presentation again for those who weren't here to summarize where we have been and where we are going for the 22 23 school year so again what were presenting is a really important for us as we're going out for a bit until bond issues and we strive to create a long-term future stability and i'm financial transparency and responsible fiscal management is one of our goals in our comprehensive school improvement plan and we strive to have an 18 to 2. 80% balance and the long-range five-year plan and budget that we're preventing here i'm tonight for 2223 i'm meet that expectation. i'm we do receive many many requests for additions and suggestions for budgets for the next year and so when we're going through those budget request building a departmental leaders we start back in december and january of each year meeting with those various leaders of different departments and school buildings and they bring us four word on those additions and we accumulate a list and start meeting up with our cabinet and bedding through those and prioritizing that released list aligning the budget to our district goals and focusing them on a student achievement and neither the budget priorities for the 22 23 through the 26th 27th school year as president in our budget so number one their improved compensation for employees we want to continue to show that we value our employees to committing to additional improvements to salary schedule for all of our employees are teachers and all of her non-certified an hour. play staff and continued maintenance of benefit programs for all employees as well again experienced teachers in the classroom and reduce class sizes at the elementary level for adding additional teachers at the elementary level to try and maintain class sizes at 11 that's below what the desi required rate is additional furniture fixture and equipment or ffe need for our major capital projects that are ongoing in the next couple years are jefferson middle school steam remodel as well as the russell elementary edition projects are currently undergoing and will be completed within the next year. support growing social emotional need for all students including additional counselors at the secondary and elementary level and behavior support specialist to meet the needs of our our scholars. i'm support growing needs of students at our special education programs including district classrooms by adding additional learning specialist as well as additional paraprofessionals for support support emerging system that title 1 ml elementary school than title one eligible middle schools and high schools we continue to make sure that we we all know that all our student demographics and student population so that were use a tearing model to make sure that those schools that have a more intensive or additional needs that we're prioritizing request for those schools be smaller class sizes additional support at those buildings. i'm support access to elective courses for all students as our population grows and changes at our secondary schools were making sure that we have additional elective opportunities for all of our students to choose from the support of a growing population of non-english-speaking students we've seen significant growth and arielle students over the last year and so we're continuing to i'm at teachers to make sure that we're being able to meet the needs of that student population i'm support of quality curriculum through quality staffing and implementation of materials. investment in technology and commitment to device equity for all students and their continued support we saw here tonight of our first graduating class from rmacc early college program for high school we're continuing to support that public partnership with m a c c o m p e i again we suffer pay for all the tuition for those students i'm that join that program and also with virtual education through the mocha programs that are mandated by the state and we prioritize operational spending to maintain quality facilities again so we make sure our buildings are operational to be able to meet skyler learning as well. and here is our budget preparation timeline on for the last six months we've been going through these various things we started back before the start of the calendar year the board of education begin review of funding and revenue and projections for the current school year 2122 and beyond using the 5-year rolling model then in january the board discussed and approved the 22 23 budget parameters and we began a review of the projections for the 2122 operating budgets and march the board review projected operating revenues for the 2122 and discussed operating budget revenue assumptions for the 22 23 school year budget the board also reviewed fixed costs which include those tasks that must continue like our utilities and transportation and insurance that continue each year and one-time needs us that were known at that time for the 22 23 budget. in april then the board approved all over capital projects for the 22 23 school year to so that we can start planning for summer i'm capital projects during the small time frame that school is out of session during the summer we have the last few years we've started a proven those capital projects early so we can start contracting and planning for those summer projects. and then the board approves our schedules for all employees and authorize the issuance of teacher contract at the april work session and may we review the implications of all the year-to-date revenue and expenses including recurring additions for the 22 23 budget and all other recommendations on the 5 year model and review the preliminary budget summary and then last week we held the public hearing and then tonight where the board is receiving the final document using the information and approved and presented here today. the next slide shows are cps by the numbers again we are the fifth largest school district in the state you can see our student membership there in the top middle of your screen and average of over 18,000 i'm scholars in our district and in the breakdown of the ethnicity and a free and reduced lunch account and the charts in the middle again we continue to add building in space we have over 3.5 million square feet of building space and another significant fact that are we have over 300 square miles of so that's why our transportation costs are pretty significant in our district because we are not a small district in land wise we have will go from over 300 miles to cover with our district routing bus routes and then rfteer teachers are about 1,500 ft e over 72% of our teachers have a masters or advanced degree and then the breakdown of our instructional programs are there. in the bottom right-hand corner. our student enrollment we've historically we are at been a growing district over the last 10 years you could say we did have a drop off and the 2021 school year with the onset of covid again we rebounded significantly about three hundred of that decrease and the between 2021 and 2122 and we expect that to continue to grow for my next year as we're continuing the roll and roll scholars everyday mr. moore and dr. porter continue to watch as we watch class sizes for continued enrollment at both the elementary and secondary level. this slide shows are comparison districts and our people with our people cough and tax levy items here you can see our enrollment there the columbia's highlight at 18,000 144 is art student enrollment and you can see what are comparison districts we have 10 districts that we compare ourselves to that are similar in size and demographic so our expenditures as third from the top and our expenditures per student at 17,000 994 right under $18,000 per student the only two on the list that are higher than that rv park hill and wentzville again the two below the bottom blue line they're at the bottom of the saint louis public and kansas city public schools and we do put this on here for informational purposes but because they have charter schools their expenditures a part of student are much larger you can see then the other districts and we can see what a negative effect that some of the charter school and expansion of charter schools. and those districts have on those on those districts there. and i get our stuff by your way she were very highly locally funded so that amount is it important to show that our community continues to support education here in columbia. and then our average class size and teacher-student ratio for a comparison districts again this is for the 20 2021 school districts so it's information gathered from last year and that's gather by the department of elementary and secondary education so that we can compare across districts were also third from the highest point only to higher than us in jefferson city and fort zumwalt that have a lower student-teacher ratio so that is good i'm that we have 12.39 as our students and our average class size is 16 until those are again much as under the average for all the schools the average student teacher ratio is 14.14 and where they're at these to highlight and numbers 12.39 and our average class by the 16th with the average they're almost 18 for the class size of the are comparison districts. inside our greatest on percentage of our operating budget about 80% is covered by salaries and benefits of all of our employees and so we continue to make not only salary improvement for teachers the all of our employees are priority we just want to make sure we continue to show that we value all our employees by continuing to put money into our salary schedules so you can see there is 2680 fte so the cost just the step all of those employees on the salary schedules each year i'm almost three million dollars they are so 2798000 and then once you add the benefit of additional benefit cost because retirement and fica and those type of items are based on a percentage than if the salary increases the better benefits all going for you so the total salary plus benefit cost just to step our employees at 3.2 million dollars. and i'm moving across the the columns on the next calendar is the cost of salary schedule in provement so this is additional money that we're putting into our salary schedule 4.3 million dollars they are plus the additional cost of benefits at 650,000 so almost five million dollars in additional improvements that were putting into our salary schedules for our teachers and all of our hourly as well as our administrative staff so our total cost them at the far right-hand side we are seven million dollars and salaries plus another million dollars in benefits so over eight million dollars in additional salary improvements and then we move down with additional fte i'm 4 edition support as well we have 20.3 additional ft that were adding at 928000 + digital fte that are i'm grant funded mostly by a sorcerer or title one and other grant funding is another million dollars and so. total salary improvements in addition to additional positions that were adding for support as 10 million $20,137 so we just want to continue to make sure that we show that we are evaluating our employees by continuing to add listen to what they're saying for need for additional support as well as it needs for additional salary to be competitive not just with in our districts but within our other industries as well. so the next day so that i'm not important slide that work until you now for the fifth year in a row that we have no increase in her medical dental and life insurance and we are just got done rebuilding that and you'll see the contract for this at the next meeting but our medical insurance third-party administrator is um r&r delta dental hazard insurance for our dental insurance and those two contracts recommend that will continue for the next three years and so we have additional savings as though we have we do not have to again propose any premium increases for either one of those so that's great benefit to our employees and no budget impact i'm further increases in those rates. i'm vs. fixed costs again as i mentioned before our insurance are student transportation and utilities and other items and the board of education like legal audit and those types of things are at fix cost at the district must continue to just to increase these the lines again we have additional fuel we all see the cost of fuel at the gas pump we have additional rights that so not only do we have the contracted rate increases within our student transportation contract. we also have the increase in fuel as well so that's how you can see if $434,000 increase that were suspected and transportation and then also expects our utilities with well for another $400,000 increase on our board of education and we did have a $200,000 one-time settlement for a legal case that was for the current year so we do is suspect a decrease in that line i must still almost $800,000 increase and fixed cost for the 2223 school year. quickly i'll move to the next couple fly these are the one-time additions and then we'll see recurring additions that you guys have seen in the past there's nothing new on this one time edition again our world war language materials are middle school ela materials are for the continuation of our facility audits time to wrap up those facility audits to look at deferred maintenance and build things on for the last session of those 490 1000 against the the f f n e r furniture and fixtures for those ongoing capital projects that will wrap up in the next year the russell boulevard elementary project and the jefferson middle school steam project we have a space utilization audit that were working on with her architect to work on than addressing enrollment needs as well as deferred maintenance and kind of packaging those projects as we move into the next long-range facilities plan attendance area review for elementary for $30,000 battle heights. band uniforms are band uniforms for each of our comprehensive high schools are on a 10-year rotation so i'm that's coming up i'm due for battle for the next year and then a curriculum on it to make sure all of our curriculum is a line going forward so the total one-time additions 1221000. is the next couple flies in our recurring additions and deductions so they will just have happened 1-year but they'll be continued throughout the five year model again we are changing our student information system over from east school of us ending its useful life so they at that addition is 120000 a new assessment tool we saw the contracts and the bid award for that last month where we're going we currently have i ready for a middle school that we're not going to use i ready for k-12 for elementary and high school as well so they condition of that cost of 125000 edition of elementary teachers throughout the district to maintain class sizes at a certain level and we try to make sure our class sizes are 23 or below for r&k to students and 26th and below for our 35 students to the addition of four classroom teachers they are for $240,000 are stuck in the area and this is at our middle school level as we have our large class sizes pushing from the middle. school in the high school i'm so we see a reduction and ft at the middle school sephora - $600,000. then again we arielle teachers were added over 100 elc students in the last year and still worth looking to hire three additional e l teachers for 180,000 for the 22 23 school year i'm regular education behavior support for additional and addressing those social emotional needs and our elementary scholars the school resource officers we talked earlier tonight with a safety and security we've already out of the two sros at battle high school and we look to add that to additional ones at hickman and rockbridge for the next school year as those staffing become available with the study we've added a new law enforcement program at the columbia area career center for next year and so we're adding 1 ft easy to build a teachable courses in that program. and i thought we talked about elective courses were adding an addition of wood working at theater text sections at the high school level for $120,000 i'm the conversion of the outlying middle school administrative assistant to an assistant principal and the driver of this request was because lana has the highest needham non-tenured teachers and those teachers with less than 5 years of experience require additional evaluations on that will have to be having the assistant admin assistant didn't have the authority to be able to help with those are so this will help alleviate some of those evaluation needs as well as offer additional administrative support for the students in that school. and then the ela 612 coordinator previously rela in our social studies for secondary with a combined position in this we focus on our ela and improving student achievement in that area we want to make sure that we have a person the coordinator that's dedicated to that to that area so one additional ft for that coordinator for $80,000 and then we have the addition of some of our i'm specialty thing as for our special services department edition of ot pt services of to meet the needs of our scholars pushing from the early childhood special education in 2k 12 so 1.8 fte there an additional of learning specialist in our district classrooms two additional teaching positions and then they additional a paraprofessional support support a traditional positions there and then the addition of a health secretary to make the hickman in battle to have each of full-time help liquiteria each one of those locations on 1.0. lyrics for an additional i'm 14.8 total editions at one point one two three million dollars. in a couple more things than we wanted a dressmaker lap battle high school we've heard the additional needs that are coming out of that school so we have the addition of a college and career advisor at battle high school on this is of this account for to make sure all of our seniors have someone that go to in that we have i'm support looking forward to not only after graduation for college but also for career readiness as well and then we have an addition of a behavior support specialist to help alleviate some of the administrative needs at battle high school as well because i have five district classroom which is higher than our other to comprehensive high school's would only have two and so we had additional administrative need for behavior support and social emotional at that location we have an additional halftime ft e-40 yes academy which is our previously are in juvenile justice day treatment program a mini of those students have iep need so we want to make sure that they have on special services support there. and the addition of administrative assistant at battle and shepard boulevard elementary these are two of our largest title 1 elementary school to get a minnesota bethesda is an additional admin like the assistant principal not as an administrative assistant as we think of as clerical support this is actually like administrative support so we want to add additional support for the high behaviors and what we're seeing at those two locations i'm two additional f t e there for $130,000. technology services reorganization we had a culture audit done for our technology services department and we have some retirement so that were able to do some reorganization of that department without adding additional ft he needs but at a cost of $55,000 school lead teacher to help with a coordination of our teachers taking our fifth graders out to that location for the next year i'm at 60,000 and so total overall recurring additions and deductions for the 22 23 school year are 20.3 or 1.5 million dollars. so this is a 2122 projected actual budget that this is where we're going to end our current school year you can see there are total revenues i'm almost two hundred forty-nine million dollars you can stay over another charger over there to the right you can see over 60% locally funded the majority of that over 50% directly from our local property taxes and so that as our highest source of revenue there in our local funding we have state usually right around 30% of our funding comes from state sources and then her federal revenues which is largely rs their funds for the and some of our other title and other programs they are four total overall total revenues 249,000 and then our expenditures 248 and a half million dollars again salaries and benefits they're right under 80% or serve as the supply i'm at 21%. taking a slightly higher than what we've seen in the past because of some of those one-time purchases for technology and other items that were purchased with our esper funding. and so we take what we have here on the screen with our 2122 projected actual and then this next slide shows the summary of the changes between what we see and the current school year and then what we're going to see for the 22 23 budget you can see an increase and 6.4 million net increase in local revenue largely from oregon our local property tax money on because we have that $0.11 increase that we were taking for our property tax rate for the 22 23 school year and that we voluntarily roll back from are 2012 and 2016 i'm tax levies that were authorized by the voters and so about. so that's because of our increasing our assessed valuation plus the increase in the additional property tax rate. our state revenue i'm 3.7 million and again that's largely due to our transportation funding that we have the states authorize the one-time fully funding of the transportation categorical line there so three million of that increases from directly from that transportation funds from the state and then our federal revenue and 2.9 million dollar net increase and so 13 million dollar net increase in total revenue from the 2122 projected actual to the 22 23 proposed operating budget. and then again our expenditures you can see our salaries there 8.8 million dollars increase and our benefits at one point seven the right over ten million dollars that we saw on that a couple days ago that summarize all over additional salaries and benefits of the right over ten million dollars there and then our services to apply increase i'm 5.6 million dollars they are for a total expenditure increases 16.1 million and so and our overall total expenditures and transfers on 15 million net increase there and so you can see our expenditures and transfers are increasing at a rate greater than our revenue is increasing and so that's why we're going to see a deficit spending and next year's by do. do the 22 23 preliminary proposed budget again our local revenues up from the previous year 162.6 million dollars i'm local revenue again over 60% of that total revenue there and are operating funds are state revenue 78.2 million dollars or still right around 30% of our total revenues and then our federal revenue that 19.1 million dollars again that slightly up because of that additional american recovery plan or sr3 funding that we're going to be having our total budget for next year so total revenues again up 202/206 22 million dollars for the 22 23 operating budget. and you can see our expenditures they are starting salaries and benefits again right under 80% for our total salaries and benefits combined and then our service and supply on 23% again because of those some of those one-time spends that we have or were spending down some of our federal funds and that service and supply line for total expenditures at 263 and a half million dollars and you can see our total revenues are under our expenditures by about 1.5 million dollars and are operating phone. this why i just took a breakdown of how we spend our totals what we we just saw those total expenditures that are operating funds you can see almost 30% of our expenditures are on direct instruction for between elementary middle and high school and another nearly 30% on special education and those type programs early childhood and then another 20% student support activities do you add these various line items together. and so how does this impact that are 5 year model i'm currently you can see the 2122 projections we have right under a half-million dollar surplus in 4.68 month the fund balance on hand and then the 22 23 budget that we're presenting to you tonight again we saw the excess expenditures are over revenue about 1.5 million for next year until that drops down to write in her thirties for 6:36 % fun balance and you can study as we're adding additional money into our salaries and again those are recurring costs and so they accumulate each year so each year of the five year model beyond that what you can see the deficit spending increases to 10 million dollars and the 26th 27th school year and i dropped her phone balance percentage down to 19.63% and only two and three seven months of fun balance on hand and that's important because again because we're so highly locally funded. the majority of our property tax revenue doesn't come in until december and january so it's important when our fiscal year ends on june 30th that we have a money on hand to build out continue to pay our bills and make payroll on those fall months until that i'm large influx of money comes in what are property taxes in december. so that's our operating funds so we're going to we're going to switch gears low state for governmental accounting purposes of state requires us to report certain things and various different funds are different buckets that service one that states the state representative issa fund 3 and so that is this is for paying our principal and interest payments on our general obligation bonds you can see for the current year we have a 35 million-dollar balance in our debt service fun and you can see our revenues there again local money that most of us coming again directly from our property taxes point 9719 of our property tax levy goes directly into our debt service fund and said 28 million dollars and local revenue. in the other line that says 11 million 421 in the current school year that was from are refunding bond issue that we did earlier this year in december and january of this year and so that was against refunding is our total revenues of 40 million dollars and then you can see the total principal and interest payment and the others for bond issuance costs on those refunding bonds that we have it so total expenditures of 47 million on our debt service for the current year and attending fund balance of 28407000 dollars until that will also carry forward to next year and you can see you again about 28 million and local revenue some very small and amounts of money and intermediate and federal revenue and so four total revenues of 29 and a half million dollars for next year again our principal payment is 15410000 dollars and ten million dollars and interest. line there is decreased can we don't suspect they'll have a refunding bond issue next year for total expenditures of 25 and a half million. so we have an innings while we're projecting of attending fund balance of 32.4 million dollars and our debt service fund for next year. excuse me so then we're so switch to our capital projects on her what the state refers to as fun for. the capital projects fund is in all of our large dollar dollar cab building improvements and items for equipment purchases that cost over $1,000. you are beginning fund balance for the current year is 32.9 million we have the only revenues that we're seeing in the current year is from again or local sources of small amount of property tax that goes into our capital projects as well as some of the other line there is transfers from our operating funds over to our um capital projects fund to make a principal and interest payment on this building and also for various department on building needs that cost over $1,000 for purchases of equipment and our total expenditures are projected at 23 and a half million dollars for the current year with an ending fund balance of 14.8 million for 2122. is so then the difference in the 22 23 budget that we're going to see there is that other lines we have our forty million dollar bond issue that we're projecting for later this summer that is from the 80 million dollars that was authorized by the voters and april so we'll have the first forty million dollar issue in there and then also are federal revenue that we have for us or two interests are three funds as those projects are completed are about 20 million dollars as well so total revenues at 65 million expenditures at 76.8 million for next year and then an ending fund balance of a right over three million dollars on the capital project phone. and then the next one is our nutrition services fun again all of our nutrition service employees are unpaid out of our nutrition services fun from the federal revenues and local money that goes into the sponge so you can see the current we have had to subsidize this fun i'm from our operative in the last couple years because of covid-19 had all of our meals were free so we didn't have any i'm local paid money that was going into there but we had some federal subsidy in the current year from additional stimulus dollars that went into helping some of our nutrition services funding so the revenues for the current year are up to 12.4 million in our total expenditures again 9.8 million large that's also do the salaries and benefits do it when we're making those increases for all of our employees were making increases for our nutrition services employees as well so we're continuing to have those salaries increased each year. that's how we will have an ending fund balance of two and a half million for the current year and the nutrition services fun and then our revenues will drop off some next year again will still have the school lunch and school breakfast programs those federal dollars that end up in there but will won't have that additional money from the federal stimulus money i'm projected for the 22 23 budget i get our salaries up over $400,000 per increase in salaries as we have a significant improvements to the salary schedule for our our nutrition services employees to try to make those wages competitive for those employees to come work for us. and then our total expenditures are right under 10 and a half million sore ending fund balance for next year for the 22 23 budget is about 1065000 dollars. in the next couple days we were a pup the next couple of flies are self-insured van so we have separate funds for a self-insured medical are self-insured dental in our workers compensation programs and again the funding that goes into these funds are transferred over from our operating funds so the district pays i'm the premiums for all of our full-time employees and so that money when we run payroll is transferred over from our operating funds into our cell phones for medical funds than the pay the claims directly out of these funds so you can see there that we have our beginning fund balance and our medical about six and a half million dollars that local revenue i'm 27 and a half million dollars and then our expenditure for claims and cost 20 under 24 million dollars would you have some salaries for our benefit manager and some of her employees that are benefits department that comes out of that fun and so our total expenditures are right under 24 million dollars so we have an excess revenue again. are medical plan of continuing to run a surplus which is great as we've talked with our benefits consulting over the last few months i'm their analytics team is continuing to project up these cops were going to continue to increase in the next 18 to 24 months because of the staff shortages in the medical field the nurses and doctors in its i'm really significant that we've continued to have a fun balance there so we don't have to continue our raised our rates again and continue to have to keep those premiums flat for our employees. the next year again we start up at the beginning fund balance of 10 million dollars we have that local revenue of 28 1/2 million at the 4 total 28.6 million and total revenue for next year and our total expenditures again at 26 million for an ending fund balance of right under 13 million and our medical fun. and similar information that we see here and our dental fun we have a beginning fund balance of 735000 again those plans payments are coming out of our operating funds from the district is subsidizing those as we can put them into our self-insured fund then to play the claims and cost as they come in as our employees go to the visit the doctor and then we pay those bills percentage of our benefits manager salary again is the charge to the dental fun they are and then so we have total expenditures of 1.5 million so an excess run over expenditures and the dental plan for the current year of 210,000 so that fund balance again will roll forward with a projected plan payments of 1.8 million for next year and expenditures of 61.65 to a million dollars for an excess revenue over expenditures 150,000 so we're projecting and ending fund balance in our dental. can of sprite over $1000000. and then our workers comp fun is the last time fun that we want to look at it tonight you can see we have a beginning fund balance of 2.6 million dollars and this was a one-time savings that we had as we built up this fund balance over the past few years so we did not transfer any money over from our operating fun because we wanted to spend down our fund balance in this so it was a one-time savings that we had about 1.5 million dollars for the current year so that's why that plan payment the showing a zero for the current 2122 school year and then our claims and costs are projected at right under $800,000 our salaries on that includes our health occupations nurseplus parcel salaries of our other benefits department employees i'm in the new security right total expenditures are right under a million dollars and so were decreasing are unbalanced there to a projected 1.684 million for the for the current school year. i thought them for next year we do plan to continue to make those payments and 1.5 million and plan payment i get in and out of small amount of interest in, so one and a half million in total revenues for the 22 23 budget and then about again right under a million dollars and claims and cost plus i'm some salaries and benefits that are charged to that fun so you can see our excess revenue over expenditures about 405,000 for an ending fund balance of right over two million dollars. again we continued our workers comp fund continues to run while we've had a good what they call ahmad rating which is less than 1 is is 77 or so that's really been good for us to build a build up reserves in that fun and have that savings for the current school year and that continues to run well with our hot health occupations nurse be on a guide i more employees to you i don't care what them that they have for workers compensation claims. that's it. any questions. no question i just i said this last year and i'll say it again just thank you for folks that might not know i mean this is i i've charted the trajectory of the history of like how we view our state formula for and digging into that history i mean it's difficult and it's had a lot of changes since like 1994 and this isn't easy work especially when you're given constant new figures every couple weeks and i'm telling you this is what's going to get this is what you're going to get and it's never an exact science but the fact that you're able to prepare us as a district as this ties with this amount of money to benefit our staff and our kids is so important to think you miss macarthur. thank you i appreciate that. it's for the board discussion questions. any public comment on this item. i see now we have a motion and a second. alright motion passes on to the consideration of construction agreements engagements and change orders. blue to prove to construction agreements engagements and change orders as presented. second emotion as this will be the first item we have is the audio visual equipment replacement in athens district-wide that we're doing rav upgrades what's kansas city audio visual 2.699 million dollars amount of the bid on that one is so we're contracting for that the next couple are i have to do with our hickman high school are hvac replacement project that is ongoing we had some asbestos removal that needed to be done i'm going to be gotten to the hvac the thermal insulation systems there as you may know some of those very old so we are contacting with a r s i for $12,000 to remove asbestos. in order to continue that hvac project there and then also with the asbestos removal we have to bring in a third what's called a third-party are monitoring service and sault ste john environmental consulting comes in and does the air monitoring while i'm doing that asbestos removal i'm so that's an additional $14,900 for that contract for that project. the next to our change orders for the jefferson middle school addition and renovation project as we know it when we get into these buildings that are over a hundred years old sometimes things come up that we don't i'm suspect that we're going to have to do it so that's the first one change order number 5 with pros builders is was for moisture mitigation and the media center so that was a change order for an additional $32,936 and then change order number six was because it was to replace the collapse storm drain on once we got in there they needed to do and then some do some additional grading after replacing that drain for $121,444. and in the final two items again just like we're doing the hvac replacement at hickman were also doing that project at shepard boulevard elementary and so we have to do as festus removal again a 50 year old building so we get into some of those thermal installations and there's asbestos up needs to be gotten rid of and so are a size doing that for $14,950 for that contract and then the third party at your model train service agreement again with steamtown environmental consulting for $14,900 for that contract. i think he was there any for discussion questions. do you not have any public comment. in a public comments will be a roll call vote. i'm going to move on to generalize public

other matters which could be the subject of the process from public comment forms are available at the back table and may be filled out and placed in the blue box has an item to share with the board prefers not to come forward. she liked to make generalized public comment now is your chance. april pharrell i just wanted to say that i read up on the tops program that you guys had on the consent agenda and i think it looks really great our youth really need a lot of support include then guidance mentoring and this program looks like it would fit really well with a lot of things that are a lot of students need in our secondary school so i just wanted to say thanks for putting that together. hello my name is john potter i am a co-founder of como citizens for cps accountability and transparency to make parents aware of gender-affirming care happening in school as young as kindergarten you guys replied back saying that it was discriminatory and against privacy rules but i've maybe i didn't explain myself clearly. parents should have these conversations with their children before they enroll at cps or before they attend tpso not breaking privacy of anybody and you're not a discriminating against anybody or just making. i'm your environment of your school known to parents if a child transitions in first grade. there's no policy that you guys have for the other students in the class. this has caused and will cause sexual identity confusion in the other students in the class now i know this affirming care is to help other students with their identity issues. but the under tended consequences of not making parents part of these conversations is that you're causing these issues and other children i have heard and personally haven't seen this. this is all new to most parents everyone that i've brought this up to is caught off-guard and didn't realize this could happen to their child. as far as you know causing confusion. sexual identity issues in kindergarten and first grade should be addressed by the parents we shouldn't let kids figure out what's going on from. other students in the classroom peters or people on the playground these conversations need to be had. need to be had between parents and students. and you guys are not informing parents that this environment is at cps and. what you guys are trying to help with. you guys are actually causing as well. and it needs to be addressed i have not had one question answered when dealing with this issue with you guys and i sent you guys multiple emails about what is the. i'm standard when it comes to. these types of situations. so i please inform parents be transparent. good evening robin shelf i want to start by saying thank you to the district for moving the special education district classrooms into their home schools for easy which is the summer programming parents have been requesting this for years and what a great success it has been and i hope it continues every student benefits from inclusive learning environments not just those with disabilities i also want to save the district for highlighting the step program in the quarterly report the step program is amazing and it should absolutely be featured after reading the article i went to look up more information about step on the district's website all they could find about step was it it took place at boone hospital and the eligibility requirements i can't find anything about it what it really is or the local businesses which are participating in the program on that same note there's not a lot side there's not much information online about any of her special education programs do a search for rise. deese when you aren't going to find much and really i challenge. to go home and do some searches i had to send the sunshine request to the district to find out the names and descriptions of the special education programs why are these secret how can parents be meaningful participants in their student iep meetings and be part of the decision-making process of their students placement when they don't even know what programs the district offers equally concerning how do we attract quality special education teachers if they don't even know what exists here this past winter and mu student studying special education saw an article in the newspaper about my son's rise class their christmas gift wrapping pro project should wanted to work in a program like rice but our professors had no idea such a program existed in columbia if we want quality teachers we need to make sure they know we have quality programs would i shared it is more than just a transparency issue. when the education of our students with disabilities is cloaked in secrecy whether it be no information out programs on the website or something as basic as not being allowed to have a class roster we parents feel that our students are not being accepted or embraced how is the district empowering our special ed teachers when it won't even talk about what they're doing accepting embracing and empowering are part of the district equity statement as a parent it is a kick in the gut to realize that the program for the students with high iqs has an incredible spread on the district website will i have to sunshine request the district just to find out what classes are available for students on the other end of the iq spectrum i hope parents teachers and admin will be able to have more conversations about how we at the district can be more inclusive and embracing every special education programs having esy students back in their own schools it's a great start we can do a lot more though thanks. any further public comment. i seen and thank you to those who offered public on it. i'm going to move on to announcements think update of board member activities i'm pretty sure this way to schedule to be on the radio i think that's going to change sensually. i'm doing it cuz miss wade has court so miss pond stark asked me if

committee ford dealership in with that is that it's looking at how do we prepare board members have whatever trainings look like what are the offerings that we provide and just giving feedback on that and suggestions. that was something that recently happened and then just this past weekend mister horn and i went were at attendance of mspas and gotten great ideas from it and i just wanted to hit on a couple things that got highlighted there, but i attended the session that was about standards and inform our continued improvement school continuous school improvement plan that will be creating by

columbine columbine happen he's been doing a lot of the work over there and he's he's been on national. who is he is internationally known for his work in security and so that's a huge asset to us
