 adjustments to the agenda. We're going to move on the school calendar 11.2 on the actual 12.1 up for executive sessions. So right after the reports, anybody have any other adjustments they need? Approve a minute of Wednesday, March 16. So moved. Second. Is there any discussion on the March 16 minutes? All right, hearing none, so moved. Any board correspondence communications anybody needs to share? Public comments? Is there any public on? Hi, my name is Michelle Samma. I have a public comment if you're ready for it. So my commentary is pertaining to item 11. It's on your agenda, the COVID vaccines in the K through 12 schools in the SU. You know, I just wanted to give my opinion and input on the matter. The vaccine board, the Vermont vaccine board I think is scheduled to meet in May. And as some of you probably know, that's who makes the decisions about what shots are required in our K through 12 schools. And I guess one of my concerns is the atmosphere in our schools such that it's going to be a hard sell if, you know, they do come and mandate the vaccines. And I am in favor of them mandating them. But and I can explain those reasons. I just feel as though the atmosphere we've got going on right now is not conducive towards, you know, mitigation strategies or preventing COVID in the K through 12 environment. The higher education in Vermont has mandated the vaccines and had great success. Much of the education went without huge interruptions. There were definitely some issues. But I feel like there's adequate data out there that shows that vaccines work. I think we should still be pushing for them within our schools. And, you know, I hope that the school could continue some communications around vaccinations and just COVID 19 in general, so that if the vaccination board does approve this as one of the mandatory vaccines that, you know, we don't have a lot of pushback within the community. I'll comment on the same thing. Can you hear me? I don't know my microphones on. Yeah. Okay. I'm Brad Moral Cornelius. I have two kids in the school. I'm also a critical care nurse. My first COVID patient died February 25th of 2020. I've been working with COVID patients since then. I feel like mandated vaccines in the school is, for staff, is necessary, especially with the masking mandates coming down. Early on in 2020, I left the safety of Vermont and went to New York when their case load was exploding and ended up working in a 450 bed hospital on Long Island. We saw a lot of people die of this. It was evident to us then that it was mutating very quickly because week after week, the presentations were changing. We are lucky now that we have vaccines that it's apparent to me are effective even against the new mutations that are coming out and Omicron isn't going to be the last one. We will have another wave. We know this recently had the opportunity to speak to a patient who ended up in our ICU, vented for over four months. He was one of the few I've seen that actually pulled through and was able to speak to us afterwards. I was giving him a rectal suppository that he needed. Once they're able to talk, we like to give them their autonomy back and let them be part of the decision making process. I explained to him why he needed this medication and why I had to be given the way we were giving it. He looks at me and says, well, it's not comfortable, but if I were the smartest person in this room, I wouldn't be in this bed. Referring to the fact that he refused the vaccine initially. I'm lucky that I'm in a field where I'm on my third round of vaccines in three months. Probably we'll get a fourth over the last eight or nine months or so. All of our patients that we've received have been unvaccinated. We don't see any who are vaccinated. I feel like it's important because this is our children's population. Not all of the children in the school can be vaccinated. It's important that our staff members are vaccinated to protect our children and protect the community. Thank you. Thank you. Call in number two. We have a call in number ending in seven six. Just let me know who you are and if you're not a forward member, do you have a public comment? Star six. Star six. Let's see if I can stop that noise. So this is Camille Olmsted. I'm a long time member of this community. I'm also assisting in the school right now because of the COVID tracing that was required at the nursing level. I've been retired for two years. I was an health administrator with the Veterans Administration. And it seems to me that it's important that we realize that there are several tools in our toolbox to deal with this pandemic, which is not over with even though we're all sick to death of it. Those tools include vaccination, they include masks, and they include, I don't want to see the schools close again. It's very important that the kids are in the school, active, able to speak to each other, able to see their teachers. So I feel that it's super important that we encourage people to vaccinate and even wear masks if that's what we need to do to stay safe. Thank you. That's our public comment guide. So we are on to the Superhand Report. Obviously you all have my report in hand. We're gearing up. Millers will go out for Rochester Stockbridge, Granville Hancock, and First Branch very soon. Tara's been working on that along with the principals and Kate and board chairs. So those will go out soon. We have three votes in May. So I just wanted to add that to my report. Otherwise I think I've captured almost everything in it. Other than I did have a great meeting with Phil Gore of the VSBA. He's the new trainer and we met on Thursday and he is scheduled to attend our April-May-June meetings to finish out our board training series. So I'm looking forward to that. And then just a reminder to board chairs, I had Christy White register us for the annual mandatory board chair superintendent trainings. And those begin here at the end of April as well. So you should have that registration in your email. If you don't, please email me and I'll track down what happened. But I should have that in your email inbox. And then I'll take any questions folks have. Not a question. It's a combination to our superintendent and it's proactive reaching out to Phil Gore, who's the new development director for Vermont School Board Association. Since I've been a director, I've had to catch up a lot. So I've read maybe a dozen books or manuals about effective school board governance. And one of the best books that I read was co-authored by Phil Gore, who's the gentleman that's going to be joining us. This is his book here. And since we're going to be seeing him in public, we probably don't have to read his book, but I strongly recommend it's readable. He's got great chapters. It's called Improving School Board Effectiveness, A Balanced Governance Approach. And he did this as part of the publishing of his Harvard University. This guy knows what he's talking about. He's been out there and he speaks to if we're going to have sound effective schools, it takes more than our superintendent, the superintendent's teams, the best and brightest teachers, the whole staff going along with the supporters. It takes effective leadership at the board level. And that's his specialty. And I think all of us when I certainly read this had a lot to learn about what does it take to be an effective board? What does it take to be an effective board member? How do we measure that? Shouldn't we be taking that seriously as part of our governance responsibility? So I look forward to meeting with him. I strongly recommend that we utilize Phil to the best, not only at the SU level, but at each of our six boards. And again, Jamie, I want to really appreciate your reaching out to him because he can make a difference. And to the extent that he helps educate us, we can make more of a difference in a positive way. So thank you very much. Anything else for Jamie? Yeah, I have a question. Jamie, do you know what the topics are going to be that Phil's going to... Thanks, Bill. I think that's really interesting. I'll look at that book. But what else he's going to talk about in April, May and June? Yeah, so April was going to be board protocols and procedures. April in May is going to be mission visioning work. And June was on policy development and monitoring. Thanks. And then we did talk about then... I'm going to have him engage in a conversation with the board around how do we go about board development moving forward? And he had some ideas to talk to you about that. So, yeah, it was a really, really positive meeting. Did he ask you? Did he tell you who are from Texas to Vermont? He said that, you know, he was... He grew up in the military. He was a military family. So moving and was easy for him and that he really loved Vermont. And wanted to move here. Okay. Good evening, everyone. You have my report. I'll just give a brief overview. So we aligned with our goal around developing and sustaining a comprehensive MTSS. We are already starting to think about summer and we have a number of school-based teams who are looking at two professional learning opportunities that happen in the summer. One is the Best Institute, which is hosted by Vermont and TSS. And we have a number of our schools who are looking at and are planning on attending that to think about their PBIS and implementation and their universal social-emotional system. And so we're excited about that. And we also have some schools who are looking at the Middle Grades Institute. And that's sort of in collaboration with the Tarrant Institute and we have a number of our schools that have been working with them. And this is an opportunity to really think about what's really unique about those adolescent years and those middle grades and think about how do we continue to develop our programming there so that it really responds to students' needs in that age group. So we're excited to be able to support our schools. And certainly the additional funding from the federal government, it makes it really more possible to sort of support that participation in a way. And our teachers, although fairly exhausted from this challenging year, are excited for, you know, to kind of switch gears and be able to do that kind of collaborative learning together in that setting. And so we're excited to be able to support them. Along with our second goal around proficiency-based learning, when we finally had a chance to meet for our February meeting, we went over the academic benchmark data that we had gathered in January. Following that assessment window, we sent out a sort of a feedback survey to all of our teachers just to find out how well the assessment tools that we have are matching sort of their needs in the classroom. You know, as we've talked about sort of all year, that's the most important use of assessment data for our teachers and students to be able to use it to, you know, inform teachers to inform their practice, students to inform their own goal setting and know where they're heading in terms of their learning. And so we want to make sure, although we need data that can tell us how our system is doing, we want to make sure that our teachers first and foremost have the information they have to support student growth and learning. And so we got a lot of good information back from our teachers around those tools. Three sort of overarching themes that we saw. One, teachers, we have a gap in sort of assessments that are information about foundational literacy skills. So what kind of understanding to our, especially our sort of kindergarten through third grade students have around phonics, phonemic awareness, decoding those things, we have a lot of teachers have tools that they are able to sort of deploy on their own, but not, they're not sort of universal across all of our schools. So we're going to definitely work to fill in those gaps, use what's working in some schools and make sure other schools have access to it. There's also a lack of vertical alignment in our math assessments. So we use something in pre-K, a different thing in kindergarten. And then we pick up another tool in first grade and up and teachers were asking for some more consistent data so they could really see student growth and not have to look at those three different. So we'll continue to look at that to see what would make, what would help to create more consistent information from grade level to grade level. And then a third theme was just a need for more comprehensive professional learning around the tools and how to use it to improve instruction. Again, we've got teachers who do this, you know, and don't have, it does very well and been doing it for years. And other teachers who feel like we're using assessments, they're not quite sure what information they can get out of it. And so that's certainly an area of focus for us in terms of making sure that, you know, teachers aren't just doing an assessment, but don't know how to get that information out of it. And that's, that's certainly on us as administrators to make sure they have that learning. So those are kind of our, some of the key sort of overarching themes. It was all open-ended questions. So there's a lot of information there that we are still sussing through. But we certainly some action steps we can take from there to improve it. And you may see some changes to the assessment calendar framework that come out of that. And we'll continue to communicate that. But know that our goal is to make sure that the information is as helpful to advance student learning as possible. And that's that's what's what's will drive any of those changes. And then the last piece we mentioned a little bit at the last meeting was we have our public plan for spending on the ARP SR funds. That's the American recovery plan, elementary and secondary emergency or school emergency relief, just to get our acronyms defined. But that's the sort of third tranche of funding that's come out of the federal government related to COVID relief and then recovery. And so we had a survey go out. We got some feedback. I would not say an overwhelming amount of feedback. I know people are tired of surveys, but every piece of information is helpful. And I do think can be representative of more folks as well. And so we certainly found support for the way that we have in our planning to spend money around academic support and increase focused on social emotional learning. I think some there was certainly push for more focus on hands on experiential learning. And so we will continue to look at where that can be can be expanded and then questions around how do we how are we specifically supporting students with disabilities so we can be more explicit around that. And we want to keep thinking about how we support our educators who have been doing their best work with students and make sure they know that one of the complexities of this is just this is not the only source of funding. And so trying to communicate everything that we have and where you know what it's supporting. So in some of the places we are using title for funding to do what someone was asking us or funding to do. So we're just going to be more explicit around that. We've got lots of funding around students with disabilities. It doesn't all come from this one one source, but this is the one source that we're supposed to do specific engagement around. So we'll just continue to work on communicating all of those pieces as much as possible and happy to answer questions as they come up from folks either through board members or from the public more generally. Don, do you have a question? I did. And it has to do with the results of our changes and things to the the tasks that we're asking our teachers to do. Is there any way that we can get empirical data showing that the changes that we're doing are effective rather than just the anecdotal stuff? Don, which changes are you referring to? We were talking MTSS. We said we were doing some changes so we could be more effective. Is there any way that we can get some data to show that rather than just the verbal stuff saying we are? I think that's a good push. I think some of the data we'll see in terms of the changes will be what we see in sort of student data whether that's in their academic data. That's what we looked at in the fall and then again in January we'll look again at that at the end of the year. And then we want to part of what we want to do is be able to look at that more longitudinally so be able to see what is what does this data look like a year from now as well. So that's that's certainly what we'll be looking at. Thank you. Can that come to the board members rather than to the principals or is that not what board members are doing these days? Yes, no, I hope to. I brought data in February which was ended up being in March. That was what I hoped when we had it talked to it as a board here for you to be able to see sort of how that changes in the growth. Yeah, we had data last month, Don. Yeah, Meg. Thanks. Yeah, it's funny. I actually I was sitting here with like the opposite question from your start which is that I think we've seen a lot of empirical data and I was kind of debating whether to raise my hand and I'm wanting to what I wrote down was I love I know that our job on this board is to see deliverables but I also think that student work can be a really powerful piece of information and also like the live action formative assessment of just teacher you know teachers watching students. So I guess I wanted to just put a plug in for that and I know I'm sure that's something that's going on but I know and I think that the in these meetings there's a feeling that there needs to be a report out on you know hard data and numbers but I want to make sure we don't put too many eggs in the data basket and instead kind of remember that that formative that live action formative is really good powerful stuff. We've got great teachers who do good work. That's all. Yeah, no, I think that's great, Meg. And I think some of where we're seeing that and again it's just a snapshot is in the celebrations of learning that we've been doing at each of the districts. We I guess have the benefit of getting to see all of those across all of the districts and you as individual board members you may only be seeing the ones that are happening in yours but it gives us a nice picture of you know we saw a pre-k at Rochester and Stockbridge. We saw I think the fifth grade news in Stratford. We saw third and fourth grade play in Chelsea and Tumbridge so there's a lot of different ways that I think some of that information is coming through and we can continue to think about what other ways to get it to the whole board. So you're seeing more of those snapshots across the SU because it's pretty powerful learning when you when you see I think we saw the chicken coops in Bethel. So that just really I think it's a nice combination of all the different kinds of learning that are happening so we can think about yeah making those more maybe more available to everyone. Thank you. I want to commend you about using asking your staff our teachers what they think and it sounds so common sense why wouldn't we? In my 30 years of experience in the public sector it's so rare that the senior management asks the people that are delivering this service what do you think and what can we do differently? I found that they could be very tough markers and I've got some of those things that rah rah rah and other times you know I've really had to pick up pieces but they're invaluable of what we can learn from and it sounds like you're doing it you are picking up useful information that you can move together as a team to to improve our delivery of our educational performance and I strongly encourage that you continue to do that. It's just a benchmark of this SU. I just think those organizations that are too afraid to ask are missing out on something and they say most of the organization I'm afraid of either they are too afraid or they don't take it seriously that your staff has something important valuable that they can contribute it either way those are fatal flaws and I again want to commend this SU for for doing that and I'm sure you're learning and everybody's going to do this at the last so thank you. All right anyone else? Thank you. Yeah good evening everyone so just to summarize again we're continuing our professional development opportunities also starting to plan as Ando had mentioned kind of our summer work and what that will look like and some of our summer work right now actually looks like kind of deepening what Ando was talking about with kind of the universal assessments through some of our our idea of being our ESSER money which is different than you know that ESSER money that's provided to the whole SU. Ours is just for like our department. I've purchased student assessments that actually go from pre-K all the way up through 21 plus these assessments are very focused assessments around reading, math, writing. One is kind of a more universal tool and is their subtest for all of the areas even like oral comprehension and motor and things like that so that as Ando was saying about the universal screeners these can also be used as screeners to dive even a little bit deeper you know when when the grade level teams have questions about a student's performance or their learner profile and so our special educators are going to be trained in the early summer around all of these assessments which they've never been trained before so this is exciting that we can can then dig a little bit deeper to find kind of narrow narrow the the narrow the view of the student to kind of even find a more of a targeted the gaps in the learning so that you know then we can provide intervention in a more thoughtful way so I'm excited about all of these assessments and that training has already been planned for the summer. Again I'm continuing to work with Kerry McDonald the one planet director for the summer but I'm also looking to expand some of our opportunities to even a greater population of our students so I've been working with one of our certified occupational therapy assistants who is going to be actually a licensed occupant occupational therapist to provide kind of a one week summer camp experience for our students that have motor difficulties and may not be able to have the opportunity to have a camp experience and actually be able to work and interact with other students that are similar to them because our schools are so small we might have one or two students in a building so it'll be nice for them to kind of have like a greater community and get connected with some peers that maybe look like them and move like them and have similar equipment to them so that they can make those connections so that's exciting and also I started to speak with Renee Hinton our preschool coordinator to kind of think about if not for this summer next summer how to expand some opportunities to our preschool students and then for this summer I've been speaking with our alternative alternative classroom special educators about ways that we can continue our social emotional learning for those students in the alternative classrooms throughout the summer so we're doing some brainstorming about how we can connect continue to connect with those students and those families whether it be virtually or in person we're just trying to think of which way we'll be able to connect with parents more so they're actually going to send out a survey to their families to see which way they think that you know they and their and their children would be able to attend more frequently so that's exciting because we know you know if they're not available for for learning learning doesn't happen so if we can stay connected with them then that means they'll be ready to learn when school starts in August so that's exciting and then the last part is that we're you know continuing to hire it's it's it's very busy thinking it's taking a lot of time but I'm so excited about it to the point where now I have almost too many choices which again I'm very excited about that I'd rather have too many choices than than not enough so I'm super I'm super excited we've been doing a lot of work in our department but it's all good work and it's all work that's planning for the future so I don't entertain any questions if anyone has any great job yeah thanks great okay so bring up my report here um information on how we're spending asset money in this department to improve wi-fi the buildings and an update on some success we've had filing for e-rate and then a couple of programs where we're providing service to students to use at home under the emergency connectivity fund and t-mobile's project 10 million and then some details about pebt and the work that has been done there and then my favorite part of my report the boxes of old records we were able to free up yes beautiful in color yeah so I will entertain any questions anyone might have virtually are here they see hi ray I wanted to hear more about the wi-fi update does that have to do I my understanding is that all the buildings have really slick sexy fiber coming from ec fiber is this update around radars and modems or is this something about infrastructure so these are the wi-fi boxes that are generally in the classrooms okay cool so the the buildings that were first on the list had equipment that was no longer supported by the manufacturer and had reported some problems with connectivity here in there from time to time so the next phase of that project is going to include uh Rochester and Stockbridge where the wi-fi boxes in the classrooms are older although still supported so we're trying to be a little bit proactive awesome and kind of a related follow-up question I know that when schools were closed we had open wi-fi access available kind of in parking lots is that is that still happening or have we locked down those public networks now that's still uh the case that equipment was given us given to us by the state for that specific reason right so as part of accepting it we had to provide the available network to support things like health services basically if somebody didn't have another option themselves so that equipment had to face the parking lot basically available yeah thank you yeah ever had a question on the um your ecf initiative yeah families in need of internet service to help with remote learning and quote homework gap situations how are we doing on that is if we close the gap or is there is that's an impossible goal but how are we doing on it uh well uh better over time uh two years ago we would have had 50 families that had no internet right and that specific funding those devices were working backwards in time meaning working from the set of people we knew had needs based on uh public quarantine from this year or students who were part of the virtual learning academy last year and now back to the shutdown so um I don't have an exact number but let's say we were at seven percent two years ago um and I hesitate to say because I don't know exactly but I would say we're at three percent give or take any other questions for Ray thank you Ray yeah thank you you all have my report I have some updates I'd like to share with you since writing it the first is I have a new accountant that started today her name is Ellen Blanchard and she comes to us from several years at Gifford Medical Center as a staff accountant there so we are very excited to have her on staff um and second we found out on Friday that bill H737 passed the house and that bill I'm going to read you a couple of highlights from it is an act relating to the setting the homestead property tax yield and the non homestead property tax rate so this is the bill that we anticipate every year so if this passes the senate the property yield and I'm going to provide this report and I will update all your tax rates in your April board meetings but at this rate the property tax yield will be $13,472 the income dollar equivalent yield will be $16,146 and the non homestead property tax rate will be $1.449 for $100 of equalized education property value this bill also as Jamie mentioned at the meeting I think it was last week or the week before I have my weeks confused this bill will also set aside 36 million within the education fund as potential funding source for the universal school breakfast and lunch program 36 million are applied to lowering the tax rates uniformly across the homestead yield non homestead tax rate in the income yield and the yields and tax rates were calculating assuming changes associated with legislation that is being considered by the general assembly so like I said I'll give you this bill along with your projected updates in your meetings next month but I just wanted to share that with you so now if there's any questions any questions anyone are you pleased very I'm glad we took the conservative route and all of our initial budgets but this is great news for all of our communities so this will help with it yes yeah tax rates will go down even lower less than we projected very nice and I'm excited about the universal meals I think that's definitely the right step forward after what we've experienced the last two years and you're really excited about your account very excited about that all right guys um our valley superintendent um evaluation committee I have tentatively going to set up a date of the seventh car meeting with sue so we send watch for an email those of you are on the evaluation committee I just got an email back from her on Friday so um I would be sending an email out to all of you um April 7th April 7th yes calendar um conversation yes and we had a um conversation about calendars and wagon wheels at our last evaluation committee meeting um so going forward in August we're looking at um a wagon wheel type meeting um that's how that was going to work so there was discussion about two districts um getting together at a time um Strafford and Sharon had done this previously and so the concept was that we would look at two districts getting together at the same evening and that the meetings might offset uh an hour so one might start at 5 30 one might start at 6 30 and someone went forward to start now at 6 30 and some started 5 30 um and so that that was going to be the approach that the committee was suggesting and we wouldn't start this until August and then the further concept from that group was and other members were on here so they can jump in but was the idea too that the two the two districts that meet together now might change annually or at least you know or every two years just to have different boards get to know each other at a possibly a different level so that was discussed as well and Jamie is going to come up with a calendar for everybody and all the boards to have a chance to look at before we roll it before we decide on it in August Don yeah I just would last I wasn't there at that meeting so I'd like to ask some consideration about these pairings maybe be join towns instead of people having to travel from one end of the district to the other unless they're going to be over the computer that is what we talked about is using geographic location yeah okay Sarah well it seems to me that we could meet in our hometown and do the the together part virtual couldn't we rather than travel so then we could be part of Stockbridge Rochester group sometime but I think we can talk about that more sir but I think the idea was we left Jamie be at our meeting and I don't know that yeah the plan was still for me to be there in Tara and be able to be in attendance certainly we'll still allow the hybrid option as well um but the the group's initial thoughts were our son g-hub together sharing red together f-bud strafford together was the initial time for the first incoming year that wasn't cemented but that's what was discussed well I just would say I have no problem driving over to Tumbridge to do that I have a serious problem driving to Stockbridge no right that's that's that's what Don that was like that's like what Don's point was to try to keep district you said that you change them like every two years I'm you know I'm nothing against Stockbridge except for that's pretty far away from strafford it might be something that it might be something that yeah might be a good point at times yeah you could come to Hancock and sleep over yeah yeah but we did think about f-bud could go with run right like there's a ruds with our son like there's other options too in combinations so we can switch it around and still kind of keep geographically together I want you to know I support that concept I just also I just don't support driving you know much beyond South Royalton to go to a meeting right well and I think we're going to have the hybrid option for four numbers to to come in so if you're one that doesn't want to drive we're going to still make keep we're going to try to continue to keep the option that you don't have to yeah yeah I just think we get better attendance from our public to in certain districts by having a hybrid option yeah so unless the board tells me no my plan was to continue to author it right we had our policy committee meeting tonight we're coming back and we're going to meet again on the 11th we're working on social media yep social media and verification of student residency our two that we're working on at the next meeting on April 11 okay and then we're on to 11.2 school calendar uh so this is the uh 22 23 school calendar and so some of the feedback that we've received is is that over the last few years based on statue of having to align with our regional tech center and so for us our regional tech center is Randolph that so that requires three s used to work together around aligning our vacations and so um on to Adam and Tracy Thompson um facilitated a group that was made up of teachers actually we had a board member on it as well um to start to develop two different versions of a calendar we called it counter a counter b um and then we got feedback from the entire admin team and then also from teachers across different districts and the the counter that we settled on was a and one of the things in this group's work that came out early on was the desire of aligning one vacation to the north and one vacation to the south and what i mean by that is we still don't have a statewide calendar secretary french i actually just met with him in this office last thursday and asked if he thought there was any momentum on that he said that there's been talk but the legislature really hasn't tackled it um and so what we've heard is is that many of our families in our our towns of strafford first branch our sud um and sharon will often have students who might go to a school that uses a southern calendar like harford woodstock befford and so this calendar now aligns us one vacation to the south and one vacation to the north um and randolph and cbs u was willing to do that uh with us so i think that that's going to be a really well received change um from our families and then the calendar does have 14 early release days which aligns to the support staff master agreement around any time and don you had a question i do um in the past there has been um the ability to go to the it was a commissioner but now it's the whoever it is superintendent french and ask if we can amend that calendar and historically we've always been denied but now i understand you to say randolph is going to allow us to change it is that what you just said yeah randolph was willing to work with us on it so we don't actually have to ask for we don't have to ask for that don because randoffs they worked with us and agreed to it okay good so again one vacations to the south once to the north so it seemed like it was uh it was a good compromise any other questions on the
