They reimburse 43 00:03:24,75 --> 00:03:30,56 us for serving healthy meals to children in teens in low income areas during the 44 00:03:30,57 --> 00:03:34,86 summer months and so when I say children that actually means anyone eighteen and 45 00:03:34,87 --> 00:03:36,69 younger can qualify for 46 00:03:36,70 --> 00:03:42,23 a free meal and then to determine the sites it's usually based on the school's free 47 00:03:42,24 --> 00:03:48,45 and reduced population or we else we use an area eligibility mapper and so 48 00:03:48,49 --> 00:03:52,73 depending on income for that area it will determine whether or not we can serve 49 00:03:52,74 --> 00:03:57,81 meals to those certain sites and the children and teens don't have to actually live 50 00:03:57,82 --> 00:04:02,28 in that area to come and eat there so they can come from man down they can come 51 00:04:02,29 --> 00:04:09,08 from wherever and we will feed them. So in the past what 52 00:04:09,09 --> 00:04:13,14 we've done what was done is that the summer feeding program kind of went along with 53 00:04:13,15 --> 00:04:19,02 Camp adventure and so it was. Just given to the kids in camp adventure and so what 54 00:04:19,03 --> 00:04:22,52 we tried to do is actually bring it out to the park so that it was more of 55 00:04:22,53 --> 00:04:27,83 a community program because it is meant for anybody eighteen and younger to come 56 00:04:27,84 --> 00:04:33,57 and eat for free so the three parks that we that we did that qualified was Lions 57 00:04:33,58 --> 00:04:40,13 Park wave pool park and sons of Norway park and Lions Park we were really surprised 58 00:04:40,14 --> 00:04:41,38 we we had 59 00:04:41,39 --> 00:04:45,91 a huge huge participation rate at Lion's Park one one part that we really didn't 60 00:04:45,92 --> 00:04:49,60 think we're going to see that much but there was days that we were serving over one 61 00:04:49,61 --> 00:04:51,81 hundred kids in the park I'd get 62 00:04:51,82 --> 00:04:56,17 a call at after like twenty minutes of starting to feed and they'd say we're 63 00:04:56,18 --> 00:05:01,22 running out of food so we'd throw more into the oven and we'd run it over there and 64 00:05:01,23 --> 00:05:05,66 get it get it to the kids so we actually had really good success at Lyons park and 65 00:05:05,67 --> 00:05:07,79 then wave pool and sons of Norway also had 66 00:05:08,12 --> 00:05:13,01 a very good turnout we also did well more elementary school we just served on the 67 00:05:13,02 --> 00:05:18,07 playground there because that school qualifies but there is no park kind of in that 68 00:05:18,11 --> 00:05:22,29 area and so just by moving it out to the playground we did get 69 00:05:22,30 --> 00:05:26,62 a lot more participation with people coming from around the area they just feel 70 00:05:26,63 --> 00:05:32,31 a little bit more welcome to and it's outside and not inside of the school. A 71 00:05:32,32 --> 00:05:36,14 couple of our other locations that we did were B.H. 72 00:05:36,15 --> 00:05:39,29 Us we actually prepared all of our meals there we did kind of 73 00:05:39,30 --> 00:05:43,25 a central kitchen and then loaded things up from beach us and delivered it out to 74 00:05:43,26 --> 00:05:47,76 the other sites and one of my staff members said well if you're cooking there can't 75 00:05:47,77 --> 00:05:49,51 you serve there said oh yeah that's 76 00:05:49,52 --> 00:05:56,45 a good idea. And the first day we didn't know how many to expect you 77 00:05:56,46 --> 00:06:00,95 know I told my cooks I don't know plan for thirty it's high school kids it's summer 78 00:06:00,96 --> 00:06:04,81 they're going to want to leave right after they're done with classes and that first 79 00:06:04,82 --> 00:06:09,73 day we served about eighty five kids so once again we were throwing food in the 80 00:06:09,74 --> 00:06:13,67 oven as quick as we possibly could to try to get them fed and every day after that 81 00:06:13,68 --> 00:06:19,36 at beaches we were serving around eighty eighty students and then snacks picked was 82 00:06:19,37 --> 00:06:21,18 another site that we did in this was considered 83 00:06:21,19 --> 00:06:24,77 a close site so it was just for students attending the M.R.U. C. 84 00:06:24,78 --> 00:06:26,83 Program and so we averaged about thirty meals 85 00:06:26,84 --> 00:06:31,37 a day there so those were all of our sites that that we did for the lunch program 86 00:06:33,58 --> 00:06:39,45 so here's just kind of some statistics I guess on where we were at with our meals 87 00:06:39,84 --> 00:06:44,73 so in two thousand and fifteen for children's meals we served six thousand three 88 00:06:44,74 --> 00:06:49,54 hundred seventeen and then in two thousand and sixteen just kind of changing it 89 00:06:49,55 --> 00:06:54,81 bringing out to the parks We also extended our serving time how many days we served 90 00:06:55,27 --> 00:06:56,25 and then adding 91 00:06:56,83 --> 00:07:01,28 a couple of slight locations we actually served eleven thousand nine hundred sixty 92 00:07:01,29 --> 00:07:05,88 one meals so we almost doubled our participation rate with just our kids' meals. 93 00:07:06,69 --> 00:07:11,07 And then with are non-program adults so these are the ones that the United Way was 94 00:07:11,08 --> 00:07:16,94 able to cover for us with with their funding in two thousand and fifteen we fed six 95 00:07:16,95 --> 00:07:21,74 hundred forty four adults and in two thousand and sixteen we served one thousand 96 00:07:21,78 --> 00:07:28,53 eight hundred eleven so again you know almost doubling what we did so again 97 00:07:28,54 --> 00:07:32,00 a big thanks to United Way for covering that cost because I think that just goes to 98 00:07:32,01 --> 00:07:32,82 show that there is 99 00:07:32,83 --> 00:07:38,71 a need for not just kids but adults in the area too that need food during the 100 00:07:38,72 --> 00:07:45,62 summer months. So my staff I think felt were 101 00:07:45,63 --> 00:07:46,94 another big reason that this was 102 00:07:46,95 --> 00:07:52,73 a success they were very open to new ideas they were willing to try anything at 103 00:07:52,74 --> 00:07:57,47 Lyons park they were out there with sidewalk chalk writing free lunch promoting it 104 00:07:57,48 --> 00:08:02,69 doing all sorts of things they had their kids come and help with serving so they 105 00:08:02,70 --> 00:08:03,84 really they really had 106 00:08:03,85 --> 00:08:08,27 a good time with it as you can kind of see what we ran on I would call 107 00:08:08,28 --> 00:08:11,48 a skeleton crew we had one head cook at P.H.S. 108 00:08:11,49 --> 00:08:17,13 And one assistant cook at beach us and then we had one server at each park so four 109 00:08:17,14 --> 00:08:21,24 total and then we had one delivery driver that would go around and deliver and pick 110 00:08:21,25 --> 00:08:26,79 up all the meals so again if it wasn't for the volunteers from United Way It 111 00:08:26,80 --> 00:08:30,75 probably wouldn't of ran quite as smoothly as it did because the volunteers were 112 00:08:30,76 --> 00:08:35,10 there to help serve they helped keep track of the meals they were there talking 113 00:08:35,11 --> 00:08:41,33 with kids you know just making them feel welcome so we really appreciated the the 114 00:08:41,34 --> 00:08:47,02 help with the volunteers from United Way. These are just 115 00:08:47,03 --> 00:08:52,03 a few pictures that we that I took over the summer so this one was Lions Park we 116 00:08:52,04 --> 00:08:56,73 would have some kids from Pioneer school that would walk over every day and we'd 117 00:08:56,74 --> 00:09:03,51 feed them. Here we had United Way had lined up for first lady Betsy Del 118 00:09:03,52 --> 00:09:10,06 Rampal to come to sons of Norway and so she helped serve and then they did 119 00:09:10,54 --> 00:09:15,49 a story time with with Betsy right after the Right after they served to the kids 120 00:09:16,54 --> 00:09:21,25 United Way was also great at organizing some of these events that sons of Norway I 121 00:09:21,26 --> 00:09:25,49 think next year we're going to try to expand it to more parks where they have the 122 00:09:25,53 --> 00:09:29,72 book library come they have a police officer come in kind of do 123 00:09:29,73 --> 00:09:34,71 a deal with the police type of thing so they were they were great on kind of doing 124 00:09:34,72 --> 00:09:38,48 some of those more fun educational activities with kids in the park and so we 125 00:09:38,49 --> 00:09:42,44 started with sons of Norway and I think next year we'll try expanded out to more of 126 00:09:42,45 --> 00:09:48,29 the parks. And then here I had the afternoon off so I brought my kiddos down to the 127 00:09:48,30 --> 00:09:53,60 park to eat. I can buy fresh pears at home but they won't touch them but we go to 128 00:09:53,61 --> 00:09:59,16 a park and they both ate a whole pear. This is another day that there was 129 00:09:59,51 --> 00:10:02,51 a gentleman that came through and we asked him if he wanted 130 00:10:02,75 --> 00:10:04,85 a pair and he said I don't think I've had 131 00:10:04,86 --> 00:10:11,00 a fresh pair in ten years and so we gave them to. And he was very appreciative 132 00:10:11,77 --> 00:10:13,62 So I think it just kind of shows that you know there is 133 00:10:13,63 --> 00:10:20,37 a need like I said for not just kids but for adults too to have that. And that's 134 00:10:20,39 --> 00:10:23,91 about it so again I just want to thank our partners because I really appreciate all 135 00:10:23,92 --> 00:10:30,06 the help and the work that my staff did to over the summer so thank you thank you 136 00:10:30,06 --> 00:10:33,23 Ms Wegner for the excellent program and it sounds like you're doing 137 00:10:33,24 --> 00:10:37,56 a great job and thank you to your staff as well board members over the questions 138 00:10:37,69 --> 00:10:41,70 this storm no questions as I just wanted to thank Michelle and her staff and United 139 00:10:41,70 --> 00:10:43,85 Way and the partners because there is a really big need 140 00:10:43,85 --> 00:10:47,24 a lot of kids the only regular meals they get during the school year is at school 141 00:10:47,26 --> 00:10:52,100 so this really great program and just keep up the good work. Members any other 142 00:10:53,01 --> 00:10:55,73 questions thanks 143 00:10:55,74 --> 00:11:03,49 a lot thank you thanks Michelle. So 144 00:11:03,50 --> 00:11:03,87 next time 145 00:11:03,88 --> 00:11:09,44 a general is. Keeping an eye on the enrollment then we have the enrollment for the 146 00:11:09,45 --> 00:11:13,91 school current school year is September as of September twenty second two thousand 147 00:11:13,92 --> 00:11:17,74 and sixteen that's the elementary one number one and the number two of course is 148 00:11:17,75 --> 00:11:22,19 the secondary enrollment I'll refer to Dr Rodenberg first for the elementary report 149 00:11:22,19 --> 00:11:29,16 . If you. Guess all that points compared to the last day of the 150 00:11:29,17 --> 00:11:35,02 Roman last year were up one hundred forty students as of. Nine twenty two of this 151 00:11:35,03 --> 00:11:41,84 month so we continue to grow the five schools that most are in the top I would 152 00:11:41,85 --> 00:11:47,28 say three of them are continue to be our north our newest schools actually the two 153 00:11:47,29 --> 00:11:51,98 up north and sunrise and then Lincoln and the other two schools that grew 154 00:11:51,99 --> 00:11:57,70 considerably were Murphy and. Pioneer and that was in large part due to. 155 00:12:01,47 --> 00:12:07,91 Students that joined their team and I guess other than that there's only one school 156 00:12:07,96 --> 00:12:13,47 that's even with the addition over capacity and that's liberty so even with the 157 00:12:13,48 --> 00:12:18,63 four Well actually that's not true I meant both sunrise and liberty even with the 158 00:12:18,64 --> 00:12:23,88 additions are over capacity at this time so it just goes along with the point that 159 00:12:23,89 --> 00:12:28,85 that's where the growth points are board members and questions 160 00:12:31,63 --> 00:12:36,15 a storm. Fran have you heard how the six big students are doing the ones that 161 00:12:36,16 --> 00:12:41,29 transferred and any any word about how the adjustment has gone for them. I have not 162 00:12:41,30 --> 00:12:46,33 heard anything but positive I mean so I know that the principals are excited about 163 00:12:46,34 --> 00:12:52,23 having them there and I speak mostly to those that my RE and 164 00:12:53,22 --> 00:12:57,24 Murphy just because that you received more of the students and I think the 165 00:12:57,25 --> 00:13:03,13 transition went well they did so much in terms of the prep work the open houses the 166 00:13:03,14 --> 00:13:08,91 tours made sure that kids felt welcome I have not received any comment but positive 167 00:13:09,74 --> 00:13:16,50 Thank you.

Well I think. 183 00:14:34,53 --> 00:14:40,06 What I heard is that the middle school is there they have more students because 184 00:14:40,07 --> 00:14:45,94 there's that many more elementary students coming up maybe you could explain that. 185 00:14:47,35 --> 00:14:52,17 Sure I could partially explain that in terms of our current sixth grade class was 186 00:14:52,18 --> 00:14:57,44 nine hundred seventy five and as you were at the two high school graduations we 187 00:14:57,45 --> 00:15:02,00 graduated about eight hundred students last year B H S C H.S. 188 00:15:02,01 --> 00:15:06,88 As well as South Central So looking at that simple arithmetic you know were about 189 00:15:06,89 --> 00:15:12,97 one hundred seventy five more students in sixth grade than what was in last year's 190 00:15:12,98 --> 00:15:17,27 graduating class so again that's just the nature of as we're starting to see larger 191 00:15:17,28 --> 00:15:21,14 and we have pretty consistent numbers at the elementary covering a little over 192 00:15:21,15 --> 00:15:25,59 a thousand per grade level right now we do get some add ins at the middle school 193 00:15:25,60 --> 00:15:30,29 level there are some private school or Procul families that used to come to our 194 00:15:31,04 --> 00:15:34,01 sometimes in the middle school or high school and there's other people for various 195 00:15:34,02 --> 00:15:38,95 reasons that kind of add in but we will certainly look at those that are new to our 196 00:15:39,60 --> 00:15:42,45 community. You know and take 197 00:15:42,46 --> 00:15:46,63 a look at that mobility I mean we may certainly have lost some so we may actually 198 00:15:46,64 --> 00:15:51,46 have gained more students than you know it won't add up unless you consider that 199 00:15:51,47 --> 00:15:54,74 there are some students that left and some of that came to our community but the 200 00:15:54,75 --> 00:15:59,29 major thrust I think is going to be looking at just the overall larger class size 201 00:15:59,30 --> 00:16:04,92 and this is obviously as you look at Dr own burgs numbers we see much larger class 202 00:16:04,93 --> 00:16:10,43 sizes coming through at the fifth and four third all the way through kindergarten 203 00:16:10,44 --> 00:16:15,46 so it's not going to be as large but you're going to start seeing you know fifty 204 00:16:15,47 --> 00:16:20,77 more students seventy five more students probably per grade level but then that's 205 00:16:20,78 --> 00:16:26,71 aggregate because again this year's current senior class is eight hundred sixteen 206 00:16:27,03 --> 00:16:30,26 so again what's your fifth grade total fifth grade. 207 00:16:37,16 --> 00:16:40,97 So one thousand and forty fifth graders that will be next year sixth graders will 208 00:16:40,98 --> 00:16:43,00 move in and will have lost 209 00:16:43,04 --> 00:16:48,02 a class of eight hundred sixteen so again we are seen two hundred and thirty more 210 00:16:48,03 --> 00:16:51,91 students that will be gaining in school continually just by serving larger class 211 00:16:51,92 --> 00:16:56,67 sizes that's why we're gaining most of that and our middle schools will continue to 212 00:16:56,96 --> 00:16:59,48 push upwards and upward so I checked into 213 00:16:59,49 --> 00:17:05,85 a grass right the answer to my question is probably just an overall. Now compared. 214 00:17:07,74 --> 00:17:14,52 To the end of last year so the end of last year. Including both 215 00:17:14,87 --> 00:17:21,83 we had three inside. Last year we. Did 216 00:17:23,03 --> 00:17:27,95 I had my numbers together I'm just trying to make sure they have the right ones we 217 00:17:27,96 --> 00:17:31,58 had at our middle school I can break down to make sure you get those numbers 218 00:17:31,59 --> 00:17:34,61 a little bit cleaner we had 219 00:17:38,96 --> 00:17:43,04 a. Couple of days playing cricket from where. 220 00:17:47,37 --> 00:17:51,33 It was right when the cameras on you're trying to make sure that you got your math 221 00:17:51,34 --> 00:17:56,22 double checked there. It looks like we had. 222 00:17:58,50 --> 00:18:04,31 Three thousand. Four hundred eighty eight at the high school level were no serving 223 00:18:05,02 --> 00:18:10,78 three thousand six hundred seventy one at the middle school we were at two thousand 224 00:18:10,79 --> 00:18:15,09 seven hundred forty six now are serving two thousand eight hundred seventy one. 225 00:18:21,50 --> 00:18:25,78 I apologize we're now down to three thousand six hundred sixty seven at the high 226 00:18:25,79 --> 00:18:29,94 school so that was down the four versus the three thousand six hundred seventy one 227 00:18:30,21 --> 00:18:37,01 so we gained. And then of about one hundred seventy eight now at the high 228 00:18:37,02 --> 00:18:42,87 school and we gained one hundred twenty six at the middle school 229 00:18:43,66 --> 00:18:50,14 combined in that as I said about. Three hundred four overall you play with some 230 00:18:50,15 --> 00:18:57,12 math and calculator. Should I please diligently adding these numbers well 231 00:18:57,26 --> 00:19:04,23 while he does the board members have any questions regarding secondary moment All 232 00:19:04,24 --> 00:19:10,98 right thanks to pretend and speaking of past board meetings you had asked about 233 00:19:10,99 --> 00:19:15,15 summer school and wanted some summer school information back to you so we have an 234 00:19:15,17 --> 00:19:20,01 attachment and Dr Johnson and Dr Rosenberg will walk you through the secondary and 235 00:19:20,02 --> 00:19:24,60 the elementary both the data and some more qualitative information. 236 00:19:30,07 --> 00:19:31,85 Sure we just try to provide you with 237 00:19:32,45 --> 00:19:37,50 a little bit of information different reports generate whether it's raw numbers of 238 00:19:37,51 --> 00:19:42,85 credits or the percentage so the first she just kind of shows those that ended up 239 00:19:42,86 --> 00:19:48,26 completing the courses at the high school level and ninety four percent of those 240 00:19:48,27 --> 00:19:53,92 that enrolled and stayed through to finish their credits that they were and rolled 241 00:19:53,93 --> 00:19:58,83 in looking at the big data we do have to summer sessions so we have summer school 242 00:19:58,84 --> 00:20:02,54 session one and two combining that we have 243 00:20:02,55 --> 00:20:06,97 a little bit higher and Roman in the first session is I think it's early summer and 244 00:20:06,98 --> 00:20:11,61 it's not as nice out family plan so sometimes students will take one semester and 245 00:20:12,04 --> 00:20:16,15 have family obligations or camps or something like that so we see a little bit of 246 00:20:16,16 --> 00:20:21,84 a dip but still overall we had seven hundred sixty one credits that were earned 247 00:20:21,85 --> 00:20:25,88 there. And then we end up taking 248 00:20:25,89 --> 00:20:32,58 a look at that by location and you have the raw numbers there and C.H.S. 249 00:20:32,59 --> 00:20:38,29 Had. I believe had Sorry. C.H.S. 250 00:20:38,30 --> 00:20:44,99 Had the largest overall numbers. At two hundred eighty four but you know Percentage 251 00:20:45,00 --> 00:20:51,78 wise and we started breaking down and looking at that we had. Legacy 252 00:20:51,79 --> 00:20:56,70 had to twenty four point seven percent but that probably needs to be adjusted as 253 00:20:56,71 --> 00:20:59,50 it's the overall percentage and you're not factoring in 254 00:20:59,51 --> 00:21:05,82 a full nine through twelve cohort of. The grades they were just one through eleven 255 00:21:05,83 --> 00:21:08,85 last year so that's I think that that probably explains 256 00:21:08,86 --> 00:21:11,17 a little bit of the difference between there we do have 257 00:21:11,18 --> 00:21:17,25 a little bit lower at the middle school and part of that is that the states options 258 00:21:17,26 --> 00:21:23,66 for middle school in the past used to be just for remediation purposes versus 259 00:21:23,67 --> 00:21:29,66 enrichment or extension opportunities as we have at high school and elementary and 260 00:21:29,67 --> 00:21:32,31 so that has now been changed and so that is 261 00:21:32,32 --> 00:21:36,42 a conversation with middle school principals and I began later in the year we 262 00:21:36,43 --> 00:21:40,36 didn't quite have time to implement and design what those opportunities would be 263 00:21:40,37 --> 00:21:45,42 but that would be something that upon further development we could update you as we 264 00:21:45,50 --> 00:21:49,06 look towards next summer as to what options we might have for middle school as you 265 00:21:49,07 --> 00:21:53,15 can see that there is between four point eight and nine point seven at the three 266 00:21:53,30 --> 00:21:56,99 middle schools and again that's considerably less than I think at the elementary 267 00:21:57,00 --> 00:22:01,42 I'll let you share kind of your interest there but again great opportunity to 268 00:22:01,43 --> 00:22:05,85 provide extra credits some students are obviously taking classes that they can fill 269 00:22:05,86 --> 00:22:09,51 up their schedule some students doing that to provide different opportunities 270 00:22:09,52 --> 00:22:14,09 throughout the year or in some cases there is the recouping of 271 00:22:14,10 --> 00:22:17,55 a credit that was perhaps lost but I think most of our students do end up taking 272 00:22:17,56 --> 00:22:22,44 This is an opportunity to add and extend their learning not simply just because 273 00:22:22,63 --> 00:22:27,01 something was lost when I grew up summer school is rarely taken for that purpose as 274 00:22:27,02 --> 00:22:31,59 mostly just the kids who failed classes I think in my high school but here it's 275 00:22:31,60 --> 00:22:31,93 really 276 00:22:31,94 --> 00:22:36,71 a community values that education and is always seeking to have additional opportunities 277 00:22:36,72 --> 00:22:40,50 and that's what most of our students do take advantage of that and they get ahead 278 00:22:40,74 --> 00:22:41,02 of 279 00:22:41,99 --> 00:22:45,82 a class or two so they can fit most of them so that they can fit another class in their 280 00:22:45,83 --> 00:22:52,61 schedule questions. Thank you for this I didn't have 281 00:22:52,62 --> 00:22:58,02 a question until you've just started speaking. I'm going to start speaking to 282 00:22:58,03 --> 00:23:04,67 present. No. So my question is it looks like there are so. 283 00:23:05,70 --> 00:23:07,98 Some of the offerings might have 284 00:23:08,02 --> 00:23:13,92 a smaller number of students is there any effort to combine the students between 285 00:23:13,96 --> 00:23:18,53 different schools to generate some missions. 286 00:23:21,35 --> 00:23:21,54 It's 287 00:23:21,55 --> 00:23:25,51 a good point and I think that there has been some discussion with the principals 288 00:23:25,52 --> 00:23:30,67 I'm talking about about that. A few of them have talked about too as we look 289 00:23:30,68 --> 00:23:36,64 potentially to need to do some physical adjustments to our layout of our buildings 290 00:23:36,65 --> 00:23:40,90 depending upon what the board wishes and the community wishes that that's 291 00:23:40,91 --> 00:23:44,33 a real strong possibility there were 292 00:23:44,34 --> 00:23:49,51 a few. Cases where we did combine I forget the specifics and 293 00:23:49,52 --> 00:23:50,65 a legacy was involved with 294 00:23:50,66 --> 00:23:55,03 a few of them where they might not have had the and Romit by combining or they said 295 00:23:55,04 --> 00:23:56,98 I'll go let's combine with B. H.S. 296 00:23:56,99 --> 00:23:59,78 For this one. But that has been 297 00:23:59,94 --> 00:24:04,56 a discussion that I think our principals would be open there are certainly cases 298 00:24:04,57 --> 00:24:09,27 that could be made for having that at your neighborhood location but oftentimes 299 00:24:09,28 --> 00:24:13,51 most students if we could bus them to their home school and then bus or have people 300 00:24:13,52 --> 00:24:17,64 get to their home school and then perhaps bussed in alternative location for 301 00:24:17,65 --> 00:24:20,60 example if you would need to be doing something at C.H.S. 302 00:24:20,96 --> 00:24:25,28 And you would want to have an area shut down could you potentially bus them to 303 00:24:25,62 --> 00:24:30,30 Bismarck high for one summer and then maybe rotate that as you're doing work at the 304 00:24:30,31 --> 00:24:30,71 H.S. 305 00:24:30,72 --> 00:24:36,07 The next I think that that would be open we do receive state funding for those and 306 00:24:36,08 --> 00:24:41,24 when I. Do you know that we have been pretty diligent to make sure that we're 307 00:24:41,25 --> 00:24:46,57 covering the costs of those depending upon the student and ROMANS So there are some 308 00:24:46,58 --> 00:24:51,73 times when we do not offer classes because it's too tight and we need to be 309 00:24:51,74 --> 00:24:56,78 fiscally responsible but likewise we then search for an opportunity to get that 310 00:24:56,79 --> 00:25:01,31 student into another course that they could you know take so let's say if 311 00:25:01,98 --> 00:25:06,15 a certain elective wasn't offered can they to still take another core class to 312 00:25:06,45 --> 00:25:10,13 allow themselves to be able to be getting ahead and then try to make the schedule 313 00:25:10,14 --> 00:25:16,29 work in the next year so I will certainly carry that back to my team and. You know 314 00:25:16,56 --> 00:25:21,30 be able to look at options and be able to provide input if you would like to look 315 00:25:21,31 --> 00:25:25,07 at that for the fall in the air or in future years but just 316 00:25:25,08 --> 00:25:32,05 a thought. Board members and questions thanks for this 317 00:25:32,06 --> 00:25:38,30 it's responsive to my previous question about summer school credit. 318 00:25:41,49 --> 00:25:46,77 I like the idea of expanding and expanding our options for middle school to all 319 00:25:46,78 --> 00:25:53,41 these kids to work. Around. Things that they may not have otherwise been able to do 320 00:25:53,42 --> 00:25:59,15 in the past so I think it's good could we here short of the elementary side as well 321 00:26:00,08 --> 00:26:06,23 specifically I think about secondary. Elementary information OK yeah and I want to 322 00:26:06,24 --> 00:26:10,56 thank Brenda bias winger who is the principal at Prairie Rose but also oversees 323 00:26:10,60 --> 00:26:17,58 camp and so she helped provide some pieces of information. As has been in 324 00:26:17,59 --> 00:26:21,82 the past campaign ad included four hours of instruction for six weeks during the 325 00:26:21,83 --> 00:26:26,46 summer two hours of reading and two hours of math and this summer we had one 326 00:26:26,47 --> 00:26:31,42 thousand seven hundred twenty four students participate and complete with one 327 00:26:31,43 --> 00:26:35,19 hundred eighteen teachers in class sizes for camp and are at 328 00:26:35,20 --> 00:26:40,89 a ratio of one to fifteen this year every year we try to improve upon the 329 00:26:41,50 --> 00:26:45,85 programming for students and also the training for staff so this year new teachers 330 00:26:45,86 --> 00:26:46,83 participated in 331 00:26:46,84 --> 00:26:51,25 a six hour training which included small group reading and math instruction along 332 00:26:51,26 --> 00:26:56,28 with an energy option to the technology resources available to students and then 333 00:26:56,29 --> 00:26:58,16 all teachers participated in 334 00:26:58,17 --> 00:27:02,54 a four hour guided planning session in which they work to school teams to plan and 335 00:27:02,55 --> 00:27:04,67 integrated them to create excitement and 336 00:27:05,05 --> 00:27:08,33 a sense of cohesiveness throughout the summer at their school and some of the 337 00:27:08,34 --> 00:27:12,47 themes include clue did topics such as Olympics adventure camping nature 338 00:27:12,60 --> 00:27:17,92 construction math and reading skills were integrated into those the aims and when 339 00:27:17,93 --> 00:27:23,28 asking Brenda about one of the challenges that continues with camp bed and you know 340 00:27:23,29 --> 00:27:25,22 she would say well of course family trips are 341 00:27:25,23 --> 00:27:30,07 a priority but it's challenging for teachers and staff as they plan for students 342 00:27:30,08 --> 00:27:34,37 that are absent more frequently than they are during the school year so she said 343 00:27:34,38 --> 00:27:39,17 that continues to be something that they problem solve around. 344 00:27:42,54 --> 00:27:44,45 Thanks for that I anticipate it will continue to be 345 00:27:44,46 --> 00:27:49,21 a problem as some are some are. Do you get the sense if you're a doctor 346 00:27:49,22 --> 00:27:54,71 a murderer superintend it was in the. State is going to expand it's the 347 00:27:54,72 --> 00:28:01,11 availability of funds to broaden our elementary summer school programs so that 348 00:28:01,49 --> 00:28:02,29 maybe it's not just 349 00:28:02,30 --> 00:28:08,47 a review of past years activities but maybe maybe an introduction into the 350 00:28:09,01 --> 00:28:14,97 upcoming school year. President takes being there. I thought that that would be 351 00:28:15,56 --> 00:28:19,39 reaching thing to do I don't think now's the time with their budget that they would 352 00:28:19,40 --> 00:28:24,25 expand it at best we might pick up flexibility and maybe that's what I was thinking 353 00:28:24,26 --> 00:28:28,13 about as some flexibility for hearing wider flexibility 354 00:28:28,17 --> 00:28:34,69 a wider array of options will that be great and I think if they've allowed us if 355 00:28:34,70 --> 00:28:41,35 they allowed us to do more with those summer activities board members any 356 00:28:41,36 --> 00:28:47,07 questions all right Hearing none. 357 00:28:49,36 --> 00:28:56,11 Next on the agenda is border sponsor two presentations and the.
