are up to uh greet visitors and communication from the public members of the community are invited to make comments about items of Interest or concern we'd like to remind you that this is a board meeting in the public not a public meeting by law members cannot address concerns during this portion of the meeting we ask you that you remember I law prohibits the board from discussing specific employees their job performance or individual students and I have Alexia Ro help me Ros I just stand you can stand there you can come up here whichever you're more comfortable with okay doesn't matter which was better for you right there is fine okay I perfect hi my name is Alexi was and I am a parent of an elementary student here at win today I want to talk about the role that forbids students to wear small watches in the classroom I understand that the board thinks it will be a distraction and will do more home than good but I will talk about why I along with other parents in the district think it is a good idea to let them be BN at all times one great way for it not to be a distraction is to put the watch on school mode it allows the students to make emergency calls to police or their parents but this is the only thing they can do they can't call text play games or even take pictures it becomes essentially just a watch that allows parents to continue to cheack the location this helps eliminate the cost for distraction the student can also not take it off of school mode only a parent it is a safety measure for majority of the parents as it alls students if those sorry as it alerts parents if those student isn't at the school I know the school has an amazing font desk security but at the end of the day the pickup is a bit of a mess and I've had a kid walk up to my call who thought it was do because I have a Jeep and it looks familiar and the staff did not say any but what if the kid did this to the wrong person and godid something happened a watch wouldt the plan as soon as the student left the pises they could react quickly and it can change the entire outcome of a situation a case from August 11 2016 in Utah tells a story how a little boy was adopted and his Gizmo along with his fast thinking helped him get away and back home safely I know one could say well they could put the watch on before they leave the building but the issue with that is children are forgetful and they will most likely forget to put it back on without a help from a teacher which again becomes a distraction I think that after school safety should be just as important as school being in the building I also know that some will just say because a few students do good with them doesn't mean that every student would but I don't think it is fair to think the opposite and we act on that by saying one kid abused it once now nobody gets it seems a bit H I do think having some was on the watch makes total sense to keep them from becoming distraction just as we thought sorry just as we sign things for school thing we agree to all the school rules why don't we add an agreement to the watches saying that they have to be on school mode so if it ever becomes an issue for one student that student can get punished or taken for the actions I have talked to other parents in the district and they agree having the watch gives them a peace of mind with all the craziness in the world we think it is safe to have it and the last thing we want is for our kids to be shafted in school which is why I applaud them for making the school mode I thank you for your time and hope that we can change this thank you very much thank you all right moving back to my agenda here um board salute Justin yeah so um we have David Courtney here and I don't know if you've heard I can give it to you in a board update about a situation on the bus last Friday um I was not on the bus but um Mrs Lopez was and she can May speak a little bit and and Mrs plant reviewed the video as well um had a student choking and gave the universal sign for choking and for multiple adult accounts um it was David's quick action calm demeanor um performing the himik that allowed the candy be dislodged and um avoided a situation that could have been much much worse um I talked to David Friday night and told him you know thank you i' heard all all the great he said I don't know if you know but he's also enlisted in in the service he said well that's what they train you to do by all accounts uh he acted with bravery um without hesitation and quite possibly could have saved the kids life so I think that's why he's here with Bor salute I'll let Mrs Plant say anything else that I missed or Miss Lopez was there when it happened so we had a video what to do and I get emotional over every but David I was emotional that day I was overwhelmed with the motion cuz I was so proud of him it just made me view him in a different way yeah he's young way younger than me but he did a great job I mean I wish everybody no not to be in that situation but if they were able to see or how should I say it and they're in my face and we're able to be there I'm just just even on without words and that's rare every adult that that has seen the video or or was there he acted very quickly and calmly and and performed HL and was able to dislodge the candy and and like I said could have could have end up a lot worse so um that's why I think board salute and and Julie mention I think it's great so Dave you come up we like to present you I am abely hold that so good perfect next up information only building level reports yeah so principals are back this month so I ask some come and give you kind of an update I did link Mr susman's reports in there for you a chance to look at it or not but let's start with Doug all right um going down to strategic uh plan priority number one um actually one and two kind of go together for me uh third grade Now is working on again with the chamber pamphlets they started with last year um they'll work with uh the people with the chamber and businesses and things to design pamphlets as as visitors come to town and they print those and they hand them out and as part of the promotional facility things that they do second grade uh has a plant unit that they've done every year however this year they're working going to work with some Master Gardeners to possibly do rais plant Gardens at the stool um and some other things to help out one of the things came up C's talking again to this somebody um they don't have enough fresh vegetables at the P at the food pantry um so that was a second great concern one thing we want to do is solve problems so that what if we started growing the stuff ourselves um so that's kind of the second great thing and they'll work on designing those beds they talked about trying to maybe work with the high school and see if the shop would build for us uh along that same lines and getting on the community uh preschools taking tours of various businesses what businesses do and what they sell and how they do things uh in our town uh down to strategic priority three uh we've already started having all our high school people coming over the high- five Fridays uh the tutors are coming over and build a relationship with kids um and de developing their self worth as they work with our kids and then four uh we have CK up and running we're taking our last teachers this next week to train to get CK uh so we're all enrolling with that questions for Doug I'll go up the line Julie um mine's going to sound similar to Doug's uh strategic priority number one at the middle school we took a team this summer to NAA Valley um and expanded our learning around Project based morning and so we have come back we're continuing to learn as a faculty we're doing a couple of our early Wednesday morning um getting everybody kind of on the same page of what it means to create a rigorous um um gold standard project for Learning and so um my teams are in different places with that but everybody's in some form of a planning stage so identifying which units of study students are going to actually produce a a public product um teams are super excited and my kids are super excited because they're going to really start to dive into um some real world problems as we are developing those projects this goes into strategic priorties number two we are focusing on those skills and dispositions that are needed for the workforce for kids to be successful so we have a lot of them that are speaking and listening um the collaboration that as we're developing those unit we're really using that P to align with um the last Focus for me is on strategic three um I have met with our CK team and the building is committed to applying for a national showcase status for year two so that is something that's and for those of you who are not sure we collect our story um from the beginning to the spring and then we kind of submit uh that to the organization and they base their recognition off of kind of our data and our story and where we've come so your two um Team said that's where we want to go so we're continuing to work uh we'll be asking students again about their their memorable moments and their connections to school um just kind of to a really good SP question talk to Jason about the the math part he Darlings all in you think it's just wonderful and it sounded exciting when he was explaining to us yeah sixth grade's doing community recipes so it'll have a Community Connection uh Jo Su sure so suic Priority One uh this Wednesday we're going to kick off the plan for authentic running showcase uh which is scheduled for March 4th during parent future conferences and we're going to open up parents in the L Community uh to have kids present on all the projects they've been doing throughout the year um our PD initiative is going to support this work but we are also looking at gold standard pbl and so our goal is uh for the authentic learning showcase to deploy a gold standard project for that we're also actively planning for our career day snapshot this will be the second year we've done this do a little different twist this year uh seventh grade is going to be like last year which a traditional career exploration but our eighth grade is going to have a p Focus so we're currently reaching out to uh local employers and asking if they'll come in and present on how they use the different competencies in our profile The Graduate in their uh and their career and then we're going to um do some interviews we have kids lead some interviews get the recorded and then get those posted um my BLT and I we thought it was important the local community employers had some input on what the PG competencies were um so it shows you know we're listening to you we're teaching this and at the same time our kids get to hear from these people that this isn't just something we talked about in class but stuff you'll apply um in your everyday life um currently working on setting up some employer visits for our seven graders um talking with the Iowa wolves right now take a group of eighth graders up there again this idea that the iow Wolves is yes it's a professional basketball organization but there's many different careers within that uh Organization for kids to be thinking about so just opening their eyes up to uh possibilities for them uh Strat Party 2 they have 21st century skills and student opportunities um we're excited to partner with Andrea Stewart she was coming in our building on the 25th help to unpack these competencies and come with our PLC teams and how we can uh deploy this in the in the classro to to bring these skills to life c three expand opportunities for students to develop self worth and connection to others we've really tapped into this idea of being the best Junior High in Iowa um and by buying into that being a contributor to that it's like you are going to develop connections to each other in self-worth because you're in this on this team together so we I linked it in there it's a schore scoreboard we've been using um I've been sharing this with the students staff and families in my weekly update uh but what the what the scoreboard does is it drafts uh four metrics that kids can grasp on to that ties back to being the best jior high in Iowa we want 90% of our kids to be present uh 90% or more of the days in the term 90% of our kids have a C minor serve above and all classes 90% of our kids have uh between zero and two office referrals and then we want to have 3,000 Difference Maker dollars distributed per ter if they do that they're part of the best jior high in Iowa and we'll celebrate them so by really tapping into this concept it's this idea of being connected to each other and have selfworth because you're part of that winning you start to B feel good about yourself and connected to each other um and then priority four uh strong relationships between student staff and Community um we have we planed five intentional uh relationship building activities with the community first one was family engagement which went really well col rtic success bounce house rock wall our next one is on September 18th for for junior high families we're going to do the morning muffin mingle uh so if you have a a student in the junior high feel free to come over 8:30 8:45 Junior High Commons I will feed you and hi you um and then at the building level it's all about capturing kids hearts and deploying the Excel model and really leveling up our practices we created a CK house cup the team teachers divided into four different houses we've um created a scoring guide in a Google form for uh teachers about the Excel model and we've leveled up like you can get different amount of points for doing taking CK to the next next level teachers get built in incentives for doing that and the winning team gets uh a Stak dinner at the end of the trend and they have they have to do like 95% implementation but they hold each other accountable we also get some really good self-reflection data on it um and the names of the teams are funing so it's it's it's all about keeping the momentum going and having them buy into the CK and and all that good stuff so that's all I got questions for Josh so is your data that on the chart you shared is that current data or is that that would be whenever I sent this Su justing Friday Friday it was Friday yeah so we update the attendance daily we update the Difference Maker dollars daily because kids have to turn those into the office to get put into their bank account um I have the referrals whenever one comes in there I go click in there and enter those and then I pull a great report on on Sunday afternoon and put a kid anyone who's under C minus we have a system where use check boxes and it triggers it so and then we use that in grade level meetings as a jumping off point to who we need to talk about who needs who needs help where's the data showing us where does it where do we need to go next any other questions Kim yes I can do that cool take one pass it on take one pass it [Music] on first one there it is uh first one we got BLT something we took away from the future ready I should probably start with I apologize I want to thank the board for supporting us and going to different trainings and conferences this summer so I know I got to go to Future Focus conference Washington DC with Justin learn and others right learned a bunch uh Mr sus the assistant principal is at nassp in Nashville took a lot of step away from there and then we were able to have s cah and Emma Davis go to the pbl conference in California and so I know all that takes money I know a lot of that is you know PD and that sort of stuff so I appreciate your guys' willingness to to send our staff to that so uh very first thing we're working on our BLT is a college career and life ready student scor card found that in future Focus conference Washington DC uh school out of Texas and truthfully 15 years of do an admin uh one of the best things I've seen you know as far as actually being able to report out are our kids doing these things so uh worthwhile definitely we're adjusting it to our school uh the things that things that our kids are doing so that's take a little time but that's one of our Focus points um second one we've got Scott dryer who with the Department of Ed he actually isn't there anymore I I have a state supervising student teachers he's going be coming in throughout the year leading instructional rounds uh at the high school level with an emphasis on tasks so we'll be collecting data in the classrooms around what we're asking kids to do in the classroom not the you know they should be doing this they should be doing this it's like what are they actually doing at what cognitive level are they actually doing it how are we asking them to demonstrate their learning and then what value beyond our high school walls does this task have so all of that wraps and ties into AIW something that we're starting here so different different round states are there we've got em s there leading PD Wednesday on pbl very similar to every other building that sent members there um we've increased expectations for authentic learning tasks and experiences to one per semester um and all that is is that slow growth of seeing this more and more in our school day Heather Cory and I have completed a work based learning Playbook that I think Cory is sharing with you guys tonight everything that we're doing around work based learning ume appren ships must not be later um work based learning apprenticeships and and how how we're doing these things and we're talking about Job Shadows we're talking about mock interviews we're talking about pre- apprenticeships we're talking about work based learning I'm talking about supervised act experiences with kids like our students are doing a ton of work outside of our classroom that's meaningful and connects to the future career um so we're excited about that second one uh strategic plan these are all a little bit smaller I guess but advisory calendar we've created with the links to all of our Zillo lessons um what we're doing every week is I'm meeting with classes every single week U they start with a a habit of an effective person our cubby stuff a cubby fan so right the first one is being proactive start every week with that class meeting and then we go into information That's essential for that so for example seniors looking at scholarships here's the dates here's what you need to know if you're going to graduate early uh and then other things like parking stock you know check your email that type of stuff um we're continuing to do our student tours college campuses we took a group AUM mold last week we have a group go Iowa State tomorrow um we just continue to Foster through these things you know where do you guys want to go what do you want to see where you need to be and so trying to do that strategic Plan Three Nick moulders organizing our high five Fridays at the elementary of middle school again trying to get our bigs in front of our Littles have a positive impact and get those guys excited about the school day CK uh we send out our start strong uh staff survey today we'll get Baseline data on implementation and then Chad and the process Champions team will do their process Champion team walkr October 1 through 3 in the classroom where we collect that data and see implementation of cka strategies uh strategic priority four again lot of I mean yeah every day is a chance for you to create relationships with kids but so you guys know homecoming week next week starts on Sunday we'll decorate Halls we do dodgeball at 3:30 on Sunday got Spirit seminars U on Monday from 1:30 to 3: so that's for painting the windows we might have I don't know there's

parking spots start October 6th uh so designs have to be turned in by by Third excuse me Sunday of this week and basically what we do is we charge $30 for those um senior parking spots that covers the cost of the paint and anything extra that we are uh collecting or student council is running this as part of their Statewide project the extra money goes to mcable Farms this year um and that's a place that's impacting a lot of our students a great place for that so uh also we got power puff football in the six we got man volleyball in the night again those are fundraisers for post prom opportunity for KS to come in come into the school create relationships be a part of something um T of guest speakers in already at whhs uh we just keep bringing people in and we just say did you check in at the office that's all I really need to know then we bring them in and sometimes yeah it's right sometimes I don't check in but we're just add that layer of authenticity to classes so you know we have gu speaker today even from the talking to our kids in government about caucus what does that mean what that look like um we have Mr Thompson in with Woods class talking about different how how we're selecting Woods looking at grains what's what wood is good for what projects that sort of thing so whatever we can bring somebody in we do um and then last one continue to whole mock interviews is part of English 10 and our our job sh is part of English 11 um dmac has jumped on that also so so now like in intro college level bio and genetics they all need to do a job shadow in addition to the one that they're doing in English 11 so like our kids are partnering with dmu and different healthare systems in the Deo Metro where they're able to not only just you know Trail a nurse or receptus or something they're actually getting into like the administrative positions the marketing positions um they trying to teach the kids about other things besides being a doctor in

relationships look like um what are signs of an unhealthy relationship completely optional for students to come then um but they'll be there on September 20 October 7th and October 14th for students that are interested so also pass on my wigs for the year the goals for the high school yeah Spotify question [Music] [Music] you take break to turn it off Tim [Laughter] or obessed I would agree sure you see it thank you sir yes thank you I've been in the building a lot that first week and there's a lot going on in the high school and the junior high I've been through both all ways extremely busy already I haven't made it to the other buildings yet I'll get there tomorrow and sometime I'll be there don't worry uh Dr St John I think you're next yep so I've got the longer one tonight um I tried really hard this could have been four to six hours tried to make it to like four minutes and so there's just so much happening this is the most challenging one of the year because how do we Encompass like all the things that are happening right away and so really what this will do is it'll focus on two areas what teacher leadership is up to and then also like the priorities for professional development and a lot of it's just going to be a repeat of what you just heard um if want to go to the third one there that one yep so what we triy to do for New staff and um for Tim just I don't know if we've done this before in the past is just how do we like put together this idea of teacher leadership and the goal is this idea of how do we continue to cultivate a culture that focuses on collaboration it's bigger than just professional Learning Community work and things like that but how do we how do we like articulate this and so we started doing this with our new staff onboarding where how we articulate like what the system of support looks like under teacher leadership so this idea of putting the classroom teacher in the center and then what does the leadership support look like and really it comes down to three areas the teams we put people on the administrative staff and then also so these what we call TLC teacher leadership and compensation um teacher leader which what we call teacher leaders and so really what I wanted to do is just unpack on the next one just unpack what that looks like and just kind of what people are up to and so uh first this starts with this idea of what our instructional coaches are up to and what their goal is is really to support teachers and teams really at the end of the day that's the big picture is how do they go in Boots on the ground work alongside classroom teachers and how can they support those teachers whether it be an individual whether it be a group or whether it be a designated team for example the third grade Team all the way through like to the math department at the high school and so they're well on their way we've got building coaches at the elementary middle school supporting new teachers supporting people getting back into the swing of things with routines classroom management Uh current teachers not just new to the district things like that and then our content coaches are supporting in professional development modules working really really hard at getting back to literacy routines getting back to best practices in math instruction and I'm just super proud of this group of individuals who have really taken on a lot of work and they've spent a lot of time working with our teachers and our teams and they've done a lot and so we'll show we'll show some of that throughout the year and so we'll we'll show some examples and things like that throughout the year but that's just to highlight what they're up to mentoring one of the systems we changed this year is we went back to one to one mentors and so each year one and each year two to the profession not to the district but to the profession has a assigned mentor and this is part of the teacher leadership system and so these are experienced teachers who are supporting our first Andor second year in the profession and that's gone really really well so far and that actually started before school started and so in between when when new staff came to us and when school started for all of our staff for for their for their days and their PD days there's been some one-on-one targeted support so I help support the mentors support our new staff that's gone really really well so far another group that's fairly new in its second year is the instructional Lead Teacher these are individuals who identifies as our building leadership team members also something this year that this group is charged with is helping us navigate the profile of a graduate work and so what this group specifically will do is this group will help take those six competencies of the profile of a graduate and help us articulate what we want that to look like at the K3 prek-3 4 6 7 8 9 12 level and that's I think cam alluded to or Josh alluded to uh Andrea Stewart so we have an external partner who's actually going to come to you guys at one point during the year and kind of share like the work we've been up to so we've got an external Source that's helping us walk through this process and so the deliverable at the end of the year is we'll have we'll have what we want this to look like and then the following year will be okay what are some of the vehicles we want whether it be Project based learning authentic learning those types of things and then the last one is new to us this year and one of the things we've noticed is that some of the changes that we've administered have not just been administrator driven but there's just not there hasn't been a ton of like conversation around the entire District about some of the newer things that we've been implementing and so one of the one of the one of the tools that we that we've added here is this idea of putting a team together of building leadership team members district and building admin where if somebody has an idea they want to implement whether it be through professional development or whether it be a project they want to do there is a process where now a teacher at any level at at any building can submit a idea proposal and the these proposals and ideas will get vetted through a group of District leaders where we can go back and ask more questions but really at the end of the day what this does is what we're asking in Project based learning is more voice and choice in the classroom and so this is the district modeling how do we Implement more voice and choice amongst our staff in the things that they do and this is the bigger picture things this isn't like I want something from my individual classroom or whatever we have other entities and other processes for that but what this will do is this will give us the opportunity to hear from staff directly on I have an idea for this that might affect my grade level or I have an idea that might affect our building and so this gives us a opportunity to hear all of the things that are happening around the district articulate that and support people in what they want to do really excited about this we have two projects already that have started the to get traction and things like that and we've already met once as a group but this group will meet monthly there's a process there's a form to out and then really how can then we take ideas to the next level and the goal is to hear staff out and to implement new ideas so it's not just oh like we have an idea for you it's staff that they can say like we want to we have an idea for our grade level our department Etc bigger than just like my classroom I don't know if you want to add anything else to like to that came from some of the stuff I saw when I was out at the National Convention and then Pella run something too not only is it um allow staff it also allows you part of the process is you can't say yes to everything or you're spread too thin so it's a way to look at do we have the capacity whether that be Financial time Personnel uh to carry it out or do we delay this for a while till we have more capacity does it need resources that we can allocate towards it so um it's kind of something I pulled together from two different um districts um to help manage it support ideas an example Tim you alluded to the the math that Jason darling's running I started with a small group of teachers um doing some professional development required whiteboards in almost every one of our math classrooms great had they brought that to us up front we could have networked that math across the buildings quicker yeah got more people involved quicker and had those resources in hand a little sooner does it make sense clearly aligns to what we're trying to do with professional development so it's a way to vet those processes get resources get support and then also so we're not doing too much does that make sense that we're kind of being cognizant of the capacity that we have and does it align what we're trying to do as a district run the four priorities so that would be an example of a project that could have got scaled up I think a little faster not that how was bad but we were peac meing whiteboards together to get people what they needed where if they said hey we could said okay what's this going to take to implement we could ran a little smoother does that make sense and kept everybody across the district on the same page so informed so people understand so like that way these aren't just one-offs for PD and things like that too and so then we can oh so here's what this building's learning and it's just it's that time to just how do we calibrate how do we continue and connect with districtwide stuff and support buildings individually simultaneously and then the next part is just really some of the priorities regarding professional development what I linked in there you don't need to click on that but it's just it's just to show the intentionality of what the goals are for PD so what one of the tasks that actually starts in like December January February of the previous school year we start looking at calendars and we start looking at what do we need to do districtwide because the biggest the excitement and the challenge all simultaneously is how do we continue to forge ahead as a district with those priorities and directions and also support individual school buildings because things look different for example capturing kids Hearts looks a lot different at the elementary building in the second grade classroom than it does in Algebra 1 or or Algebra 2 and so how do we continue to support folks with that difference keeping that direction similar at the same time and so that this takes a lot of thought and intentionality and just a lot of focus and so and also how do we take this idea of district and building PD and how do we Implement that and integrate that in the Strategic directions and so really for us it started with new staff onboarding and that was really that's a lot of fun and so that starts with us you know doing new staff orientation new staff professional development how do we get them the things that they need and that starts early in August one of the tasks that we did was how do we kick all of this off and so one of the decisions we made districtwide was to bring in an external speaker uh buddy Barry's the superintendant of the district in Kentucky we went to visit last year part of the conversation last spring was the people who went really liked it and so the they shared with their colleagues and I had about 15 20 people like I'd like to go and then we started doing the math and started doing budgeting and it's like well let's see if we could bring him here and it was more cost effective and I actually think we had a better experience bringing him here just because I think just cuz we're all here we all got to hear that same message and things like that and then really how do we then deploy these Concepts throughout the district and just really what the priority areas are is really this idea of authentic learning which you heard about all four building updates the profile of graduate competencies with Andrea Stewart and the work they're doing at the buildings we spent a lot of time in intentionality with artificial intelligence AI there some really neat tools out there that we're going to continue to show throughout the year uh we're actually looking at another one that the state purchased for us which is an uh Elementary literacy math tutor or excuse me a literacy uh robot tutor so you read to her and she teaches you skills and so that's something that our state has purchased and we're going to start utilizing that as well here in the near future capturing kids Hearts is a is a priority as well we're sending new staff who weren't able to be trained in the summer to some training and then really how does this then work for the individual teacher through professional development through personalized PD that's another priority area of ours is how do we give teachers the opportunity to improve in what they want to improve in there's always going to be District professional development there's always going to be building wide professional development and then there's this third tier of like okay I'm a classroom teacher and here's what I want to work with within the system within the parameters and we really try to give as few parameters as possible but we also want that to be grounded and focused as well and so really that's how all of this works together and so really just the next one is connected back to how all of these are connected to our strategic directions profile of a graduate and then the next one is just an example of what our new staff onboarding looks I think I either stole this idea from Gina or we came up with this because we knew we had 45 extra minutes so we started with when when when new staff are here and so what we started doing years ago was a scavenger hunt around winter set and that's actually one of the first like professional development experiences they do is they get to see the intricacies of winet in the community um so they take we have challenges for them where they take pictures with random things and it's it's become a lot of fun and overwhelmingly every year it gets more fun it gets more competitive and uh just a lot of fun and so really there's a ton of things happening we could have shared way more but just any questions that you have for me or anything that's going on in the building level we can help answer there's so much stuff happening right now we'll have more time throughout the year to share the awesome stuff but just kind of wanted to you know kick this off with what's happening in these two buckets Cory are all first and second year teachers involved in the mentoring program yes it's actually a state of Iowa requirement and so that's part of how so I support the mentors and then I have time built throughout where they complete the program with the mentors and then the coaches and I help facilitate some learning for those folks but but that's how they meet the letter of the law but that's also how we onboard them as well and so this year we went to do something different where now it's somebody their department or something as close alike as possible and there's been some really good feedback with that already having a building mentor and that was feedback we received did when we got from TLC feedback a couple years ago last year last year first year teacher but yeah that's how it that's how you got it acclimated when you were when you got all this stuff in college and you're thrown into a classroom it's like now what I do so having a veteran yep there that's that's an excellent program and that's a way to capture that through the TLC structure which is really nice because that's what it is it's leading staff that's buddy Barry was phenomenal what I saw of him my little after lunch time and then Mar talked about it for like days so anything else guys thanks thank you SAR yeah all right moving along part of the consent agenda first up is minutes anybody have any any questions or changes to the minutes paid bills Cammy any questions for me is there anything that popped out first of all this is my what's the 25,000 that's that's a program it's work based so EG is a partnership between uh the district uh the state and Corporation so London Allen at the high school be our third year with him you paid 25,000 for him he's a fulltime employee and then the state picks up the other a third in uh corporate donations pick up the other third of his contract another acronym Iowa jobs for America's graduates gota get a cheat she I'll get you one there is one on I I Association of school boards website there is iasv I'll get to that one yep I know that one I I didn't have that one earlier um couple things let's see on page one partway down Avi system that's a big invoice for 245 that's that blue projector system that went into the elementary and Doug was really good he went out and pounded the pavement and he got a lot of different donors so we got a grant through the foundation PTO uh H McDonald uh did a donation so all in all our cost on that was about $6,700 and you'll see that in two places you'll also see that in fun91 for pto's portion um what else did I want to mention that was the only one I had Cammy I'm assuming there's an in and out for the wcsd supplies supplies yeah down at the bottom where it's red with 165 and then black well that was um the credit card and lo and behold some of the charters had to do with the activity fund and she cuts a check from activity for that but this ended up netting to a credit so she couldn't get a check to generate so we processed the base expense credit into General and then cut a check to activity to clear it out and then she could code it correctly on the other side a little uh Creative Accounting to write strox construction strox is concrete and that was two projects that's the elementary parking lot and the path yep so you went the football field we added the sidewalk and then that to help with the band getting all their equipment down something they asked for for a while so concrete's not cheap it was pretty invasive at the El like that back parking lot they had to do a lot of yeah we had passed it several times with the the pack and it kept hopping out and and so we uh took it down and cleared all that out but new concrete uh expand made um the turnaround White Li and put in curves so yeah there one of our P save projects that you just got ongoing maintenance came up waldinger in the general fund of 31,000 I did I was able to move about 179 into sa Pebble we try to protect General at all costs and maintenance and minor repairs have to be paid for out of General but these were actual Replacements of units of condenser heat pumps so those uh were I to be moved over you ask me about that one man and mon used to be um Summit Travis's and so they were doing a lot of the uh safety Grant work for us this summer so they did um all that Grant work they did this summer and probably some additional work um put in here the buzzer yeah buzzer put in here put some security cameras in this building so question because typically that would have come out of sa PE yeah because that's equipment that we were purchasing and entry improvements in cameras and things that normally show up in a different fund but the federal funds will flow into General so the expenditures had to be out of General sure anything else okay we will move on on to Personnel is presented there yes so we have Associates that are hired some switching a little bit um with cross country we like he stepped down from high school went to Junior High because the numbers works better with his family so um then we're advertising for cross country uh the high school coach which was Mike back was a volunteer so he took it so that's some of that switching there um and then Gary Emer decided that this will be his last year so yeah or last year was his last year he's not going to do it this year so sorry so those are some of those gotcha open enrollment we have three open enrollment applications out and now remember you you approve those again because of the legislative Changs right all of those had to do to continuation after a move so all of those are fine we have four coming into the district three are continuations after move one they're coming from out of state they'll be making their move sometime in o October they have land here they'll be building here but they're going to stay temporarily with family in Martin Dale St Mary's so in order to allow him to enroll and get started right away at Winterset High School there's an open enrollment there so your recommendation is accepting all of them correct in and out correct both in and out any questions on the open enrollment because that's going to be remembering to be a little different moving forward yes back to right for us but not necessarily for but for the newer members and typically if they if they missed a deadline uh it had to have good cause in order for you to accept it after the fact and because this is that first year of a deadline families didn't some families didn't know there was a deadline so I know you guys have been a little bit more lenient this year and then well next SCH year will be back to the way we used to always do it okay financial report we're going to spend a little bit more time on financials than we normally do because we're g to W yeah you're excited we're gonna wrap up last year and then we're going to take a good look at next year when we're headed can't wait first of all I wanted to bring up the statement of position for fiscal 24 this is the final product it changed very little from what you saw in the last two months the audit is over the field workers completed if you'll come down to the bottom couple lines um when you look at expenditures and revenues those totals by fund and they all total up in that leftand column we had 317 in revenues and 287 in expenditures those will go right back to the certified budget that we do when we're uh doing taxes and we're certifying our budget we certify expenditures and revenues for all of those funds together and and then when we certify the expenditures remember we put it into those four buckets we have so much instruction so much support so much um School nutrition and then others so we did go and we modified our budget we amended the budget for that other category for Capital expenditures for our major save and pble expenses well we didn't need to we came in right under the original budget but better to do it and not need it than to uh exceed our budget and get written up in our audit um the only thing probably when you're looking at this on a monthly basis this is year end I always want you to go to the very bottom line which is the difference it's comparing where the fund balance is right now compared to where it was a year ago and the net change are we up or we down or whatever so for this year if you look at it you'll see that we're very close on cash in the general fund just about broke even no increase in cash no decrease in cash but when you look at management we did have a decrease we lowered our Levy we had early retirements and then the place that we picked up the most was in debt service that 2 million well we pre- pre- leved 1.9 and interest rates have been very good to us so that's just kind of the overview of last year nothing has really changed um we're in good solid financial position let's go to fiscal 24 revenues and expenditures you know if you look at expenditures yes we were over our line item by 88,9 that's less than 1% of a $22 million budget so we we hit it pretty close and it always kind of amazes me because things come up throughout the year that you didn't plan for things plan fors really didn't come to fruition and all in all when we get to the end of the year we're pretty darn close year after year after year um if you look down in the in the revenues those were 2% over what we had estimated but we got some miscellaneous income coming in okay let's go to the new year uh position for 25 I want to point out the government receivables and the general fund those were receivables we approved at the end of the year there uh heart and special education bills on other districts that hadn't come in yet out of the four districts that were outstanding I got three of them today I made a few calls last week um but that's not a fun phone call to get no usually they want to know it too because they're about to certify their C and they don't want to miss an expenditure so now it's time to kind of follow up so yeah I don't know how they can say they didn't get it because they paid one of the two invoices in the same envelope okay um again funds with unb in fund 40 that 2,500 uh cash with a Fiscal Agent unb is holding that pre- Levy money because they're not yet callable okay and if we look at expenditures and revenues for where we are today in in fiscal 25 this is new to you you have not seen this yet you now have a line item expenditure number uh the budget is complete uh I process that by throwing all of the staff in first all of the contracted staff with the benefits um that takes up about 78 to 80% of the budget then you put in all the categoricals after that and then you start looking at you know line by line comparing over the last four or five years your utilities your gas your uh all of those types of things so there we came in we're about 3.4% higher than the prior years line item I I think that's pretty reasonable and makes sense with what we did as far as staff increases we are down a couple FTE but 3.4 overall but look at the projected spending Authority just underneath it we are projected to spend about n over 99% of our annual Authority so that is perfect but we're going to talk a little bit more about Authority on my next worksheet so we're right in where we should be we're spending 99% of our Authority we could spend over our Authority for a couple years because of our B balance but that's where we are now and if you look at the revenue on the bottom um the revenue is 22078 so we are looking at a deficit spending on cash pretty level on Authority but we're spending on c not overspending but deficit spending on cash okay let's look at the authority worksheet you guys don't ever you see this maybe once a year when we go to do um the certified budget there's the preliminary 24 Authority and the the only lines we have any control over at all are the blue lines those four that are grouped Midway down the sheet those are all places where we go to sprc and we ask for additional Authority the one is still outstanding um it's called sprc allowable growth number one that's going to be for uh what do they call it limited English proficiency um if we had expenses over and above what they funded they're going to give us Authority for that I I'll bring that to you next month the C has to be certify the de has to massage all that data then they'll get that application out for us so next next month you'll approve that and I have estimated 16,000 I think that'll be pretty close then everything else uh down below it's just miscellaneous income and then it's our total expenditures and I'm not going to open it tonight but I did include how the revenues are projected what they were for last year and it shows you how we calculate the miscellaneous Revenue portion of it because that comes with authority our Authority only comes from the Aiden Levy from the formula from those four areas of sbrc and from our miscellaneous income that's the only way you can get Authority so your rule to remember is whenever you can get Authority you ask for it that's about it and then if you look over one more column that's what we're projecting for next year all the numbers that aren't colored those came right off of the aid and Levy those are projections for what we'll get from sbrc uh the miscellaneous income you can tie right back to the revenue worksheet that I've provided for you and then there's our line item budget expenditures so you'll see at the bottom we've already talked about spending about 99% we that's what you want if you're given authority to educate these students this year that's really what you should be spending you know if you're spending any less maybe you're and if you're overspending you got to watch it because you can't keep that up long term so that 0.9% that we're not going to be of authority no that means of the annual Authority we got we're going to spend 99 Point what was it like 99 it's over 99% so that's great okay uh if you look at we haven't done real well because they kept want to say they kept giving us more miscellaneous income and sometimes you weren't even sure when it was coming so if you look at the last four years I mean we were spending 94.3% in fiscal 22 then 95.8 n this year we just wrapped up we're at 97 but for next year we're projecting at 99 so we're on the right path okay that's kind of it in a nutshell uh we're in good Financial condition we're projecting forward we do believe there will be a decrease in enrollment but we've budgeted for that we all saw that coming we also knew that we would be deficit spending down the road and you have to do that with the way the funding formula is set up we won't need to Levy cash Reserve yet because we have a fund balance but down the road continuing and we will continue to Def spend then in year three or four you'll need some cash reserve and you'll back off management or pre- Levy to keep your taxes fairly level and that's how you move forward questions I everybody seems together I na questions for me on that thank you how was your audit audit was great we won't have any findings at any time they were here for just the one day one day thanks they left been doing this a while thank you anything for Cammy okay contracts and agreements dmax Drive yeah so it's program where we have students who are um they're allowed to continue their education at dmac um special ed students through us so they technically met their requ reents here we don't graduate them keep them on our books we get money to help them continue their education through stri that's the agreement for for that program I think we've had one or two students that every year have been here so great program okay any questions about strive next up school-based mental health provider yep so we started this um I think when last year uh getting them to sign anou if they're going to be on site providing mental health services so we have three there for you turning point calm and Mosaic so and these were all here last year right those three uh yes new who do we lose we had three last year uh Turning Point closed in win three last year Crossroads any questions on those not class room clinic so classroom Clinic is a web-based uh telea Health uh T mental health therapy provider um allows uh parents to access students to access some Mental Health Online um it's a program that's fairly new started out of uh couple of board members in ases actually started working on it um and we're able to use uh P dollars for as it because you're buying the the technology platform that runs it and it's been through the audit the Auditors have approved it um we ran this agreement through allers um and we're going to give it a shot this year to try and help with some of those needs for our students so basically we set up a site for them uh we go in and verify for the therapist that this is a student who has that time slot they also take um uh Medicare medic Medicaid which is typically a hurdle for some of our families if they don't so they will take it so the we have in place for that it's not just I think my kid needs it goes referral process yeah and while we we help the parents make the connection and then the parent works with them to information but there's some sharing with the school Personnel to make sure we're assisting the student as well so anything I miss Kendra any questions on that one okay laa Hart District another contract with heart just yet District we haven't served before so North Fulk how's that program going uh better uh way better than where we were uh with um or Oaks yeah they've been able to maintain Staffing uh they've expedited their process for intake um which was kind of a hurdle the first year just took a little longer um but they've they're better at processing ing through referrals uh and yeah so it's it's it's doing better Returns what Jeremy say at our meeting several students transition back to start the year and out of that program based on last year so yeah y it is not at capacity yet um because some the kids so they do have some open seats um I don't think we currently have a student I don't think we do currently um we have a couple that um we may be making referrals for here the near future but right now not serving any of our students so how many kids it can serve up to 16 uh or 18 sorry six in these classrooms so there's one the elementary one the middle school the high school so they can take up to 18 total you question all right other questions I would entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented so motion by Emily is there second second by Gina any other discussion all those in favor say I oppose same sign motion carries there's no old business so move on to new business which is the MSA request Camy modified allowable growth and supplemental aid for the special end deficit this is special ed expenses that over that are over and above the per pupil and the special ed waiting that they gave us through the aen levy um it's understood that you may incur more costs than you receive Authority and cash for so therefore they have this blanket application out there you just complete the special ed supplement Parts is already submitted and our deficit this year is 46,5 7272 but if you look at that Authority worksheet that you saw earlier you can see how it goes across lines so we have been higher than this we were a little lower last year because we had additional covid money that they they dumped out the very last minute additional money's there which reduced the deficit and this year it's up a little higher but it's not as high as it was a couple years ago if you remember though too we added a staff member because of increasing numbers in special EDS so I'm not shocked that this number is going up with the number of increases we're seeing in special education as well either any questions on that none I would entertain a motion to approve the MSA request for the special education deficit for fiscal year 24 so moved motion by Tim is there a second second second by Malcolm any other discussion all those in favor say I I oppose same sign motion carries next up approval of 2425 fundraisers y Mr molder pleas put this together and send it to us again we try to approve all of them here at the beginning of the year there will be some that will come up throughout the year we try and catch those and get those to you but it's kind of laid out what uh doing the fundraiser what it ser and so I ask that you would approve those we doing the mattress fundraiser again this year because I never quite figured that one out last year I don't know I had a phone call with Mr G about that they kind of came out of left field out of nowhere I think we a couple of us are in there going oh a mattress fundraiser was that one did we that was interesting yeah that one got by the goalie Tim happens once in a while yeah that was interesting any other questions entertain a a motion to approve the 2425 fundraisers motion Gina second by Malcolm any other discussion all those in favor say I I oppose same sign motion carries next up uh AED exterior outdoor AED machine from the Lions yeah so Ben came here last year I think most everybody Tim maybe didn't see but the ad machine that's down at the football field is uh the Lions purchased it and then are trying as part of their fundraiser asking to put it around um the community outside football fields one the first one they did I think they've added one where else is one in town rotary put one at the park okay yeah so um at that time you talked about uh whether would be any interested in the second one U we didn't really make that decision at that time we kind of took the the one and put it in and sign the agreement uh they would like to put a second one at the baseball softball it'll look very similar the one you have it would sit next to that building requires us to get power to it so there's a little bit of expense on the district and then the $600 service that you same agreement you approved before um been asked I interested said I don't see if the board is interested in doing a second one or not so allons are funding it they buy it they buy the machine and it's $600 per year per unit um for maintenance upkeep that they do so if we do a second one we'd be paying $1,200 a year for the two um yeah seems like a reasonable way to spend $600 seems like a barg if you really if you need it in in that moment it's it's well worth that expense I think it's pretty minimal I don't think it's that much of a distraction it's it's sitting there has been tampered with um that was my only have we had any issues with the one that's been installed not that I'm aware of okay yeah no so just if you would like to add a second one at that baseball softball what was the this is a random question but what was the expense for the electrical service already kind of there is electrical situation softball field they have electricity right there they have to get it through the wall to the outside like they did before yeah they yeah um and because there's in the back of that sh in the back of that shed is where um like the breakers and stuff run into which we be able to run it I mean there will be a cost I don't think it'll be exorbitant cost to get power out there because it's just a regular 110 um Power to run it so okay anybody like to make a motion to approve the second outdoor AED machine motion by Malcolm is there a second second second by Emily any other discussion all those in favor say I I oppose same sign motion carries next up approval of 20242 Sak membership yep so every year this something we kind of went back forth and kind of get clarification last year that this is a board appointed or approved committee so we started bringing a list of those individuals to the board board this is who when Cory reached out this year got commitments for just asking that you approve it um we have talked a little bit that this group obviously we'll start with some of the discussion of the cell phones with this group and and start with them as part of it so ask you approve the those that have indicated they want to serve on it any questions concerns entertain a motion to approve motion by Gina is there a second second second by Tim any other discussion all those in favor say I oppose same sign motion carries approval of super superintendent goals for 2425 oh a second it must got kicked out because I was logged in yeah it kicks you out I was um well there's no attachment here either well that's because somebody wants it in assembly oh that's right you're doing assembly my bad just saying wow oh I felt that one anybody else feel that one it's all good it's all good no it's all good um it's all good so I have went in and and put them in assembly so uh they're going to mirror what we're doing as District so one is that 100% of our staff been an authentic application based learning task meets the district definition of authentic learning by the end of the year um just to support that work across each building you heard every building talking about it uh so we'll support that and monitor that um I think it falls in line with what we're trying to do um so that one again they're all going to kind of mirror what we're doing for um our regular professional development second one is the uh work with the instruction leadership team uh again I'm an active member of that team to flesh out those six profile graduate skills um by the end of the years that we have um uh descriptions and me what do we call them Corey so like characteristics yeah sorry yeah attributes the compies sorry competencies and um descriptors for all those skills at different grade levels um the big one another one take on is this you know the self worth the connection others is to assess the impact of cell phone usage on our students a and um to develop selfworth the connection and update the policies to reflect that discussion um I think I gave you on the board update ISB has put out sample policies um we're going to sit on those until we decide what we need to do here based on this discussion so um leading that work being involved in that work will be a big part of of um what I'm engaged in this fall at least the goal is to try and get you something um in December to review for board policy and in policies and practices we could roll December December for second semester we'd roll something out second semester so that's kind of the goal that we're working towards um so yeah that'll be a big part of what I do is just lead that work coordinate that work um uh for the district with the end goal being updated policies and procedures um I sat through a webinar with the author um great been waiting for the video recording and the slides it's about 30 minutes um where he goes over kind of the four tenants of the book which I know Emily's read and we've read um and his recommend and goes through all of the data the slides up front um hope we get access to that I think that'd be a really good resource for staff families to to view it's about his discussion is about 25 30 minutes and then there's a Q&A afterwards but just watching him run through all the data in a short amount of time and and rationale would be good so um yeah that'll be a big part of what I do four is just again the financial uh piece um with c's departure the hiring of that and working closely with that individual and her during the transition um will be obviously a big part of what I the work this this year so um that's the goal I have for finance and then the fifth one um is to manage the resources um to maintain our spending Authority and as we go through this um I gave you the butts and seats number um yeah we're right now serving 35 less kids than we served last year um that's what I I look at that for Staffing she looks at certified because that all comes with all the funding they all play together um we built in a decrease of 25 in certified in our projection so um as you saw we're in a pretty strong financial position um I don't know that we'll need to make Cuts this year but um just to put in perspective um the demographers said we were going to be down 12 25 in 5 years I'm going in my fifth year we're down 88 from where I started so they're not terribly far off um so any questions on those try to align with the work of the building and then take a couple that are more closely related to finance that are going to be a part of it um CK will notice wasn't a direct one we're obviously going to continue to support that but that really is I in my opinion is the process Champions teams and the we we'll continue to fund it you know and support it but they're really leading the work at the building level you know about four years in so any questions for Justin if not I entertain a motion to approve superintendent goals for 2425 and we'll meet a couple times a year when I'll add things that have gone to those and we'll review them think the first one is November we can talk about if that's too soon or not but I think November February is an update so so is there a second motion by second by Gina any other discussion all those in favor say I I oppose same sign motion carries board member reports we're gonna start with Genie you have anything Malcolm nothing I like I said I've been wi the high school it's working great get to go do photos uh tomorrow with Doug so I'll see how that goes I'm excited to see the Lou I know it won't be on during photos but I try to hang around a little bit later and see if uh Kaylee gets that up and right I want to see that up and right I think that's going to be a really nice piece in the elementary school so but other than that I have a cross country meet tomorrow night me too that'll be fun um Athletics are up and going so it's always fun did we do engagement night already have we had a for meeting since then the Color Run is a success my son was it's just about my son all so nice job and Josh did you get all the color out of your clothes uh we have a light pink shirt but great job it really was a lot it's like a shirt nothing okay Justin yeah I gave quite a bit and then as they were talking I jotted some more down but it was getting long so yeah I typing it up uh going to my fifth year you know I've kind of not put myself out on a lot of state level things I feel like kind of ready to do that and the opportunity came up to be on the rep Council for the Ia girls um High School athletic Union had have uh nominations were in last week that was one of the top two nominations so their voting is going on right now it's myself and um Sean hallway at Norwalk and Mitch gross it was Mitch gross I had to have them resend the ballot um apparently there's a mitch gross on the eastern part of the state that's also running for a rep Council and so yeah who knows um so you you verse hallay yeah that's the two in our in our Southwest so we'll see um yeah just a chance to represent at this level and and have a voice at that uh table I think is good um we talked about facility Master planning and res out to IAT um since then I've had two other architect firms reach out to me and I've wanted to meet I've met with them both after listening to Chad and IAT um I I ask him to come back in October do a presentation as of right now it's your decision and I would probably lean that way because they'll do facility Master planing and then help with architect selection where emergent or Bray or uh Boyd Jones is the other one who reached out they can all buy for that and do it um he showed me what they come out of and they're pretty extensive plan so he'll present to you in October get a chance to ask your questions to go through facility Master planning he'll include uh they will include um uh mechanical and um electrical so they'll review those and they'll tell us like hey here's the window of time when you probably need to plan to take care of X Y or Z so anyway you'll get to hear from them in October and we'll make a decision going forward I think I sent you an overview of their proposal and a board update he'll go into more detail at that time uh ASA natural uh conference registration that's open um board policies I need to get kind of your blessing to do that it is my contract but I'd like to register for that before October it's in March um that gives me pre-registration so I save a little money on the registration so I'll plan to do that we talked about butts and seats um it is kind of right in line where we were projecting and we're in a great position to manage it um homecoming cam talk covered that uh should be a great week Don put some things out high school kids will put some stuff out uh same dress up days across the district and know there's been concern in the past where they've been different at buildings um this year we felt the them were Universal so they'll be the same so you have to worry about shot socks on one day and I was there I get it Middle School's doing one thing so they're all the same uh one thing you know Student Activities in BARC maybe I'm not so positive um we're seeing some kids shed activities that are just running havoc in a group at the football game that board administrators talk to we're not going to do that anymore we be more specific um just leaving going out uh you know tackle each other they'd come back in they went down the grass area just screwing around throwing bottles um Middle School junior high high school oh more Junior High Junior High trying to slap each other in inappropriate places you know just they had talked by three administrators and I sat one down and said like we're not doing it we're just at the home volleyball game they're up behind the on the bleaches Grand pen rod and I ran him out of there and spilled water and we're just like we're here for a game if you can't you're cause Havoc we're going to send them home just don't think we we're we do enough uh monitoring of students that are without having to De the same group all the time um so that and then one thing I don't know if you heard about it um ADM is a rival um there's these bar stool accounts um they are not great they are not um they're the worst version of our student of student bodies I would say some things um got pretty chippy um got racial um in nature Cam and and Nick and um and they reached out to the high school administration right away ADM called me they absolutely don't condone it it's not tied of the school but tracking down who's running them is really hard and they'll put right on the tag this is not affiliated with the school district um but as before I came in the morning I did check it looks like they took that crap down um ours is was in a whole lot better but it didn't cross racial um we've talked about what do we do I think Cam's got a great relationship with high school kids and he's talk to about not doing that and but it's just not great stuff so if you heard about it we did what we could we contacted their Administration they worked with us they were very apologetic obviously not with their condoning um and got it taken down parent was rightfully upset I mean rightfully uh frustrated so if you heard that we were doing everything we could with them to try and get it taken care of but not the best version of of our kids or their kids I'm sure so um November board meeting I would like to get to um uh the vertical white boards that we talked about that Tim mentioned that Mr darling uh Tamar and that team has done a really nice job and it's it's a lot of fun to watch these kids in work they'd like us to come to the Middle School in November to go to the classroom for our meeting so that's okay we'll try and get over there and they'll present to go to see these kids work at the Whiteboard it's I think it's pretty cool to watch them demonstrate their thinking so unless I hear different will book that um and a couple things came up that I think these guys need some kudos for we have admin presenting at State and National level around things that are going on so Corey Kendra and Josh around memorable moments and some attendance presented at SII they're going back to present to uh is it new superintendent new princip ass princial associate principles uh next week um about that same work uh the AI team we put together um we are well ahead of some districts um Chad kind of spoke at itch they asked us to come present at itch he's going to present there uh probably s andx fall and are trying to present out at nasp about our work on how we've tried to empower staff and vet AI tools and and do that so Kudos all the work that they're doing um and getting some recognition for um we kind of talk about it set the direction and then they run with it and they do a pretty good job uh Donovan group is coming here on October 24th uh that's is that 24th the June the career expiration day we talked to them we want to highlight the L we want to highlight the anatos table we want to highlight these things that we've invested in our district um because we're competing for kids I mean bottom line we're just competing for kids so they're going to be here we'll set that up get a lot of cool things out there um and then the last thing is I shared the activities spine art report for you it's online last three years it's really great to go back and look at all the accomplishments um thanks to Nick and Angie for you know Nick came on and picked it up about three quarters away and got it to the finish line so um but a lot of information on there hopefully parents go and find it um we'll continue to do those things that's what I got all right any questions for Justin if not next meeting is October
