 So how does one call the meeting to order? As you say, I call the meeting to order at 507. I call the meeting to order at 507. I want to welcome you all here to the meeting. Thank you for being here. Can we just go around so I can try to remember everyone's name? I know Nathan's, but yeah. Sam Hooper. Sam. Rodney Rainbill, Bethel. What could I represent the way we were about school? Thank you. My name is Heather Muller. Nice to see you, Rodney. I know we've emailed, but I don't know who that is. And I haven't gotten an email for a while. Oh, but I heard Robin was just making sure you were on the list. Yeah, yeah. And I haven't been talking to Lisa Floyd this week. And she was like, who are you representing? I'm like, oh, that's me. I guess I should go. Thank you for being here. And Robin. Hi, I'm Robin Denneken. I'm Nika's administrative assistant. And I'm Nika, and I'm the director of RTCC. OK, so I'm just going to go down the list here and kind of give you some updates. There are some places where I really would like some input. So the first thing is a staffing update. Currently, we have one new paraprofessional that started last week. They are working three days a week. They're fabulous. But we are currently down two paraprofessionals. One of them is going through the onboarding process. So if all goes well there, we'll have basically one full-time paraprofessional and one for three days a week. And then we are still going to be down one paraprofessional. So I am interested if anybody has anybody that you would like to tell them that there is a position available. OK. We have been very, we've been really paying attention to safety in the building. Some various things have come up during some practice drills. And that has led us to have the door locks be permanently locked all the time on the classroom doors. One of the main reasons of this is that bays are open at various times throughout the day, which makes the building potentially open to people from the outside, even though the front door is locked. So classrooms are now completely locked for safety. So that's one, I believe, it's an improvement. We've also had, instead of having students throughout the building in various locations having lunch, we now have everybody in the cafeteria area. And outside the cafeteria there are picnic tables. So basically in the place where we are all observing them at lunchtime instead of being throughout the building. And most recently, our exit doors have been undergoing inspection by the fire marshal to make sure that all of the exit doors are appropriate exits given the fact that the rooms are locked now. So for instance, there was an exit door that was beyond a locked door. So now we are looking at where the new exit location should be with the fire marshal to make it really good. And the people who are in the classroom already can still use that as an exit. But we're just making sure that there are plenty of exit places. So increasing safety all around. Any questions? The classroom doors being locked, that doesn't, not an issue with the fire marshal. They open out, or whatever it must be. No, they open in. On the inside. But they're not locked. But the people that are in can get out. Oh, yes. It's just that if there was an intruder in the building, they can't open the classroom doors. So from the inside, they can open it. But they can get outside. Yeah, OK. Yes, I guess so. I was kind of thinking the same thing. Oh, sorry. Yes. I mean, I assumed it was OK. Now you're going to have to go check. But that's outside of any of the ceaseless. Oh, yeah. No, it definitely works that way. OK, so yes. So the next topic is our current enrollment. So our goal enrollment for next year, or goal enrollment for as soon as possible, is 150 students. But right now, we're at 142. So we've had some students come in and some come out. That 132 includes eight Raven kids. Includes eight Raven kids. Oh, thank you. So we're 134 RTCC. Thank you. You're welcome. OK. 134 RTCC. 134, yes. 134, but then the other ones are Raven. Yes. And like I said, our goal is 150. There are really positive implications for the school if we have 150 students in the future. So we definitely have room in some programs, and some programs are full. So it really depends on what program you're interested in. But programs that have availability would be culinary, dental, education services. There are a couple in construction. I'm just thinking about any other ones. We have some openings in pre-tech. Which ones have the biggest weight list right now? Ag. Auto. Video. Yes, digital phone. Digital phone. Thank you. Is auto and diesel the same? No, two different programs. So is diesel full, but steady or? Diesel is not full. There's still some room. They're having a great time. They're working on restoring a tractor from 1969, 1961 antique boat motor. They do small engine repair, snow blowers, generators, ski dues, snowmobiles, all of that kind of stuff. HVAC, all that. They have not to this year yet. But they will be opening up to the community and anyone who's interested in having some machinery fixed that kind of falls into that can do that. OK, so that's where we are. That brings me to something that I could do some advice on, which is that our flatbed. And now I don't have a ton of details in terms of numbers, but we have a flatbed truck that totes our culinary food truck. Yeah. And so apparently it needs quite a bit of repair. I've been told that the repair is very significant and it's an older vehicle. And so there's sort of a question of repair the vehicle versus buy a new used truck. And so I don't have numbers for you because I don't know exactly what we would buy or how much it would be. But I'm wondering in general what you all think about repairing older vehicles versus buying a newer used vehicle. Is the flatbed used for anything besides time? It's used by the ag program quite a bit as well. And auto uses it to scrap or pick up vehicles that are not drivable to retrieve them for repair. Would the repair be able to be done by students? No. OK. So there is a cost for labor. Yeah, it's all body work that needs to be done. The quote that we got at the end of last school year was 4,800 and change. And then when Jason Latt was going through it to check on inspection, found more like rotting through the floor boards that it was not noted on the original quote so it would actually be higher than that. Would the intent be safe? Like overestimating? I think potentially, yeah. Do we think that'll make it pass over inspection? Is that what we're thinking? Because I know flatbed trucks are not cheap. So that's the other down side of things. I don't know how big of a truck it is, but no, you're right. Like a new one is $60,000. Yeah, $67,000. You know what I'm saying? Used? That much? Probably. Oh my gosh. Well, you could probably maybe get a good use on for $45,000. Yeah, I was going to say $30,000. So it sounds pretty clear that just repairing would be making sense, right? Well, maybe not. I don't get miles around it. Yeah. How far do they travel with it? I know it's probably pretty local, but you kind of have safety concerns, too, when they go with an older truck, it's on the road, it's right. I don't know how old the truck is. Sounds like we need more information. Maybe do a little shopping around and see what we've got. I don't know if it's possible, but if we can get an older one from down south, that's less salt. That would probably pass us a lot longer and fair than getting an older used one from around here. But just how big of a truck is it? I don't know if it's large, except to look it up. Well, they hauled a car with it, so it's pretty good size. Yeah, it's a big truck. The boot shrinks huge, too. Yeah, it's like a big camper. I might actually have it listed, but it is on my list of RTCC vehicles. And then if we do get a new one, is that going to need signage and all that kind of stuff? So there's that little extras that we'll have to go into. Right. Now, you can also, it's a weird economy right now, but maybe some of these bigger construction companies wouldn't mind donating a flatbed or a used one to the tech center because it's for education and learning. And I know the trades are really hurting right now. Absolutely. They have to be like a pretty big firm like Kingwood or something big. I believe it's an open business. I think it's going to be a big one. A big firm like Kingwood or something big. I believe it's an O5 Chevy Silverado 2500 Black. That's our flatbed. OK. Basically, 2500 is actually three quarter to three quarter. But you probably want to get like a 2500 or a 3,500 to be a one to. Well, we can. And for bigger companies, that can also be sometimes considered a donation or a tax file. But sure, that's what I was thinking. If anyone out there would like to donate a truck, we'd appreciate it. Well, if you list what we use it for and what she's worked for the kids, you never know what's going on. That would be amazing. All right, thank you for that. OK. The next piece is, so we have an idea. I'm very excited about it. So I'm trying to lay this all out. So I would like to start two separate academy programs. And we call it an academy program because it's going to have a higher academic expectation than the typical classes that we offer at RTCC. And it would have a direct pathway to college programs and to dual enrollment credits. And so these two academy programs, we'd like to see them be in two different subjects. The first being animal husbandry and veterinary science with a direct pipeline to the Veterinary Technology Associates Degree at VTC. The idea would be that we would hire a second act teacher. And that person would work on animal science, veterinary science, becoming a farrier, using a wool to create fabrics, having horses, chickens. It would be, in some ways, therapeutic for the students to be able to work with animals, as well as really great for students who are interested in pre-vaternary programs. I think it would be a huge draw and is something that I'm not aware of existing specifically in that way in any other tech center that I know of. I hope that I'm aware of. Yeah. So building a barn and starting slow with a couple of horses, so maybe some rescue animals, chickens, and then expanding out into cows, making milk, cheese, goat cheese, all these different things. Who's to be on premises? Would be awesome. That's the idea, so that's right here. The second one is an outdoor education program. And there is a bachelor's of science and outdoor education leadership and tourism from BSU. And so this would be potentially a collaboration and partnership with BSU. It would play to Vermont's tourism economy and getting people out into hiking, becoming a ski, oh my gosh, I'm losing the words. Yes, a ski instructor, but also the medical folks that work. Yeah, ski patrol, thank you for taking the word. Ski patrol, ski instructors, learning how to become a park ranger, use the natural resources that we have to make money. And including hospitality and tourism in the program, not just about how to teach people to do these outdoor recreation activities, like kayaking and fishing and all these different things, but teaching them how to make money off of it. How do we become a bass fishing instructor? How do we become a person who works year round of maybe making mountain biking trails and in the winter time their ski instructor? And how does this tie into the tourism field here in Vermont? And the reason why a lot of people come here and why they're moving here. So basically the idea isn't as infancy, but the idea of the academy program is that there would be an entrance exam, so you would have to score a particular score that we would set on math in English so that your reading and writing skills are high, as well as your business skills, you know, your math skills. And then as you take the program, as you participate you're gonna be out, you're gonna be doing co-ops and doing real-world things. You're also gaining credits and it's a direct pipeline to those college classes and those degree programs. So I'm just curious about your thoughts on that idea. And are these two year programs? Like if someone comes in as a junior. I would say it would be great if that was the case. We haven't specifically talked about that. I think it's a great idea to concept. I like the idea of an entrance exam, something maybe a little bit more advanced, getting into the college. I do know there's a need for it, especially in the veterinarian science. My only question would be, is RTCC committed to keep doing that? I'd like to know what their enrollment is, because I know they're going through changes. Oh, VTC? VTC is keeping. VTC being that they're part of the three schools combined. I just want to make sure, like if you set this up and get it running, we're good for two years. They're like, hey, we're not offering that anymore. And if that's the case, that's fine, does Norwich offer something? Does another college, we would have like a backup? Excellent. That's a very good question. Thank you. I like the tourism. I like the outdoor education too, because even if we group in, like I know Randolph had a hard time finding a coordinator for the town to do youth sports, daycare, summer camp. Right, that would tie into it. So that would tie into it. Also becoming a biologist or a PE teacher, environmental scientists of any kind. Yeah. It all kind of ties together. And the hospitality is really important. So I met a lady who actually teaches hospitality and sales coaching at a water barrier this week. And there's a real need for them in the hotel business and the hospitality realm to find people that know how to do it. That's really interesting. It's really interesting. So, but I do like an entry exam. I would like to make it really fine tune for individuals that would want to take it serious. That's it, like you hit it. Because so what we have is, we have a big, say we have a big class. A lot of the students don't come here with the skills in math and reading and writing to be highly successful, highly paid skilled workers. They maybe could have the skills to work in production, but to move higher up, they need a different level of math and ELA than they think they need when they come to the Tech Center. And so we want to sort of change that narrative and say, tech is an alternate pathway, but it is an education. It's not an easy way out of school. It's just a different path. And we want people to leave here with an equally good, if not different type of education and hold those expectations high. I mean, it'd be great if we could also include work in the summer in these fields and work with employers and just to say, hey, we've got someone training in this field. They need on-hand training during the summer so that their interest stay. We have this expectation of hourly rate. These are people that took an entry exam, like commit it. I imagine that kind of what you're saying, like I imagine that there are mountains around, even Killington's not that far, or other closer mountains where people still, yeah, where there are places where they need workers that are trained and skilled and ready to go or we could even set up. Yes. They could probably use some help from what I understand. So I like to do that. My only concern is if we build a barn on the premises and we have animals, who's taking care of them when school's not open? We would pay a student to do that. I'm sure that they're, I can think of off the top of my head several students who would jump at that. I have a student who wants to volunteer to maintain horse stalls and get no pay. They just want to be with the animals because it makes them feel good. With her, my stepmother's name and her horse's in a barn. Is she in Randolph? Yes. Interesting, okay. Okay. And building trains could build a barn, right Lane? Technically? It could be a barn. If it depends what the visit says, fire insurance carrier. And how does that affect your plans of a new facility? Because we want to make sure that if that goes forward, we want to tear it down. So the location potentials, there's two depending upon. The easiest that's right on campus is where the old Raven building used to be, which is at that far end, because we still have the water hookup there when we demolish the old building. We also have the acreage that's out towards Prane Tree that's in acres out there that was donated. It was used at one time that they actually started building houses out there. It might be nice to preserve that and continue to do that. We just can't really encroach on that. We don't want to encroach on that by the fields. Well, that in our neighbors that's around. Yeah, I'm sure they'd have to be permitting. Right, and all that and make, animals make noise and all that kind of stuff, so. Hey, the kids do to the plant. Right, but they're not at four in the morning with roosters when the sun comes up. No, that's a very true thing, yeah. So I mean, I'd love the idea because more than just dairy and farming. We have magnet programs. Right. Kids want to work with animals. It is just such a calming, healing, beautiful thing. I think that kids really like animals. And I think that because it's so different and unique and it's so truly Vermont, I feel like it would be really great to put us on the map with such an interesting program. With the higher expectations and the more advancement would the enrollment tuition be higher? Or would it be the same? Would you have to bring in more staff to more than just one teacher for a program or, you know. I think a teacher and a paraprofessional would be really great for them because you can have 16 students with one teacher. And then if we increased enrollment, we had more than 16 and we had a paraprofessional that could take on some of that. No, I don't think so. And I think it would be great if we came out of the gate with 16 students and a waiting list. That would be amazing. There's a lot of timing with the other programs, I'm sure too, with ag and farming and gardening. And we were even seeing dental. Health careers and dental. Yeah. So if you remember, I had an animal's teeth cleaned. No. It was very expensive, I bet. Yeah. It's so interesting. Again, there's a need because you talked to any veterinarians in the area and they're short staffed. And farriers and like, you know, kind of you can combine welding with this program as well. And there's such a big market in our state. I feel like it's like a really true Vermont program that I think would be unique. Even boarding of house pets is hard to find now. Oh yeah. Veterinarians are still short staffed. That's very true. Just remember though, the upkeep on postage is quite expensive, right? I bet. If you can have your own veterinary bills, you know, you don't have to be able to take care of them. Might be good to see if there's any grants out there that would help cover higher education. Definitely on the agenda. For sure. The other thing is you'd have to make sure the students are really dedicated to doing it because we have paid students to water our plants in the greenhouse and our plants come back. We come back from vacations and our plants are dead. So like you have to make sure the students are invested because you don't want to come back to dead animals. Yeah, absolutely. I would think if you want like, there's an adult that's actually the go-to person and make sure it gets done. I am sure that there is a person in the community who would love to do that. I can think of several off the top of my head that would be interested. Yeah, no, I think it's a good program. Yeah, but you're right. Somebody has to be responsible for feeding animals over break-in on weekends. Absolutely. For sure. So of these two programs, my two cents would be outdoor education is low-hanging fruit and super accessible for you to implement right off. Agreed. It's the fastest growing economy in the state of Vermont and it's the number one push for all state funding right now to continue to develop that. There's a grant program called the Bullwreck Grant. What is it called? Bullwreck, B-O-R-E-C. And that is started by the Scott administration a handful of years ago. Randolph was the first one to receive the grant, us and Newport. The grant at that time was worth $50,000. Now the grant is worth $5 million. So that's where the effort at the state level of funding is being put. So the need and the outdoor economy for professionals coming in as bike mechanics, trail builders, trail bumpers, whatever is immense. And so in terms of the infrastructure and overhead, that's easy. We have a lot of that infrastructure already built here in Randolph. The animal husbandry thing and animal science I think is great in terms of the need for veterinarians, animal vets. I really caution not to make the same mistakes that BTC has with their dairy program and their farm that they had in Norwich, which they ended up having to sell. So there's a lot to learn from that whole scene right up the road. If you are to embark on that, I would strongly urge you to use their facilities that are already existing built right there. I'm unaware of this, so thank you for bringing that up. Another thing that they, I'll go with Sam on that one, is maybe crossing a little more attitude because maple sugaring is a great adventure to get into. We do currently do that through our ag program. Yeah, so just to that in mind, I've worked with a lot of maple companies in the country, not just in Vermont, and it's a very good business to have done right. And there's other agricultural programs out there as well. But in terms of the academy, I think that's a great concept, entrance exam. You're supportive of the entrance exam piece? Totally. You know, there's other things that this could open up. I mean, I was just visiting my niece and she's going to go to college via X-ray tech because there's a lot of X-ray techs. Yes. We just had to talk about that today. Yeah, different avenues like that. I mean, low hanging fruit, you know, something like that. We got a hospital in town. Same with the hospitality aspect too. We have a hotel going right up on the hill. So that could be a huge connection with the outdoor trail rides and stuff that they... They have a completion date today, yeah. Foundations being boarded, I think, right? Or has it been started? Yeah, it'll be, I think... Because it didn't start at the stop? They'll do site work and slab work this right now, but then it'll pause for winter and then it'll be full bore ahead of spring. More table. What a great opportunity for co-ops through that hotel. That would be awesome. Thank you. And Randolph really has gone as an outdoor recreational hub. It's really, and it has more potential so it can help facilitate the students. Yeah, in the next summer they're doing, they're building the Velomont Trail, which is a mountain bike trail that's designed to be like the long trail. It goes across the state of Vermont and it's supposed to connect different communities, trail networks, and we have five trail networks here. They've just completed the Rochester side, which is the other side of our chapter called Ritual and Collective. This side will start next summer and will be a lot of effort around connecting our trail systems to that trail system over there. That's cool. All right, so do you spell that with a V, though? Yeah, Velomont, yeah. Okay. I wasn't even aware of that and that is so exciting. It really just all comes together. Okay, thank you. That's great. Okay, just, I don't know if I have more time here. Yeah, we do have a little more time. Okay, an update on work keys. So we want to let you know that work keys testing is complete. Oh dear, I thought I double-sided, double-sided that's, I didn't know, sorry. Okay, so I was intending to put something on the back of your paper. Adult education is going to be starting back up again. There's a survey that's going to be going out very soon and new adult education programs are going to be starting after the winter holidays. And so we have a survey that Lane has been getting up to the community that is going to give people a huge array of options to see what they're interested in learning about and whether or not they themselves would be interested in teaching, of course. And so our adult education coordinator will be working on that. We are also having a winter market. It is like our Christmas fair that we've had in the past, but this year it's going to be winter market themed. It's going to be in the agriculture room. And I wanted to get your opinion on this. So the date is December 8th and starting at 10 a.m. And so some of us were thinking that it should also extend to after school so that parents can come if they work. But I wanted to get your thoughts on that. Students would run out of the school. We have to work that out. Or teachers, I'm not sure. But there may be people who are willing to stay late, but curious on your thoughts about extending it to after school. The school ends at 2.20, so that's really early. And the idea is to have local vendors in it or students are making stuff to sell. Yes, the students are making things to sell in their programs. So things like Christmas wreaths and these beautiful paper lights that they're hard to explain, that they're seven sheets of paper that are carved out and they're beautiful. I know there's lots of other things being made, but each program is going to be making things. And someone is making bottle holders out of horseshoes that you could put mason jars in or spices, things like that. And so they're really, really, really nice. And so all of these items would be for sale. And so I feel like it would be great to have it run later so that parents and grandparents and community members can come see it. But at the same time, I'm not really sure about whether or not students would be available to stay because so many of them take the bus to their sending schools. So I kind of want to get your thoughts on that. Well, here's a thought that Chandler usually runs a market. I saw that. Maybe it would be worth contacting them and have a booth on the weekends of the products. I think, and another thing is, I don't know how, Lane, it'd be complicated on the website, what could you put up a landing page for ordering forms of the products and then students can learn to package it up, have it ready in the front office, or what makes times. Can you keep Todd busy? Yeah. Yeah. It's not going to be that much volume. We could probably do it through a Google Sheet or something. We could do it through a Google Sheet. I mean, yeah, Google Form. That's a really cool idea. I just got the undoing one for a client like that. So people could place their orders and send it out in the newsletter, do it on your social media platforms. Or they could even pick them up at the school, like the following day or send them home with their kids. So the revenue goes to the tech center. The different programs that create the products. Cool. No, I think it'd be a good idea. Go ahead. Thank you for those ideas. He used to do the Thursday dinners in the Providence group. The culinary was awesome. He's hoping to start that up again, but he's also doing a lot of catering. So he's kind of stuck in catering world. I don't know if we'll get the Thursday night dinners. His food is so good. He had a good system for ordering for that. When we first started, it came through FACs at the Herald. I just want you to know. We filled out a form by FACs. Oh my goodness. Wow. OK. Wow. That's really funny. The whole staff ordered the whole set right there. Oh, that's awesome. This food is so good. It's insane. OK. Thank you for that. Holiday pies, too. If you only get culinary involved, a lot of people are asking who makes pies around here. Interesting. I'll have to ask them what they're doing. Yeah, that's great. Cookies, you can do it. Holiday-sized cookies. Cookies, whatever. If you want to come and keep them busy, make a little money. For sure. All right, thank you. I will take that back to them. My last topic is our Sending School Roadshow. So beginning January 9th, a group of us, we've already been going to our Sending Schools and making connections with them and setting up dates for January when we're going to go with the food truck. And we're going to do a one-hour sort of like a demonstration slash display of all of the different programs that we have and get kids really excited about the opportunities at the Tech Center. And we're going to feed them. We're going to answer their questions. And then really soon after that, we're going to have the applications for the Tech Center available and ready so that it's a really quick turnaround so that in February, we can close our application deadline and start looking at people. But I really want there to be a short turnaround between when they actually hear about the Tech Center and see everything we have to offer to then, OK, boom, boom, boom. You've come. Now you're going to visit. Now we're going to do your interview. And now we're going to decide and have it be like fresh in their minds and exciting and fun and really. And also when we do that, I really want them to be thinking about this is not just a place to go if you don't like sitting at your desk and learning traditionally. You are going to have to work hard here. You're going to have to do your math and your ELA and your science and your history. You're going to have to still do those things. You're just maybe doing it in a different format or through different learning modules. But you still have to do that. I want to make sure I set that expectation so that they realize that this is going to be hard work, but it is worthwhile and great work that's going to lead to lifelong careers and opportunities for you. Just setting the expectations right. Exactly. Can Lance do a video with students that are going through it and just saying, yeah, it's hard work, but I'm having more fun because I'm outside or I'm just seeing that it's more hands-on learning and maybe he can set up the camera and the microphone and just and maybe just taking B roll, going to different classes, seeing the welding happening, seeing video editing, seeing the nurse program, the dental hygienist. It really focuses on the ones you fill. Culinary, I'm really surprised that's not true. They used to be. So yeah, I think it ebbs and flows like in all the programs, I would imagine agriculture has become much bigger than it was. And it ebbs and flows, I think, depending on what the kids are into. But the kids that are in the culinary are solid. They make incredible food. It's delicious. And their presentation is amazing. They recently catered a pretty big meeting for some tech center directors that work around the state. And they all met here in our fish bowl. The food and the presentation and just every aspect of it was so amazing. Everybody was so impressed. So whatever's going on in there is the most amazing thing ever. People need to sign up for that class. So good. But that's basically it. Any questions or anything else that you want for me to consider? Any plans on getting in front of their parents for the importance of maybe their kids Not that kids listen to their parents. Yeah, it's a great question. So we're going to be having an open house. Is that what you mean? Or if we have just the way to connect with the parents. We're advertising on the radio for our students of the quarter. Do you have other ideas for reaching out to parents? Well, it's just a, I mean, branding, mentality. You've got the jingle, which I'm sure the radio station is using. But Grant, why this might be a good fit for kids. I mean, I'm looking at it for my own kids. Is this a better fit for your kid to be successful? And really pound that in. There's a lot of stigma. And I think that's why I like the whole idea of the academy programs. That's where you're going to have to get in front of parents and, you know, your kids getting great grades. They're really into biology and science and math. And we just, if they're interested, we have this great academy program and they can talk to students or kids about it. You're getting me thinking about this. And maybe perhaps a parent information they have at the sending schools is really what we need. And to get them to initially be interested. And then they can come and see all the amazing things that we have. Maybe that's the thing that needs to be done. Yeah, I mean, that could be something. Being that parents are very busy, a set of videos that they can watch, maybe on our YouTube channel or on the website. That's just like, if they can't make it, maybe we record the parent conferences that the ones that couldn't make it could be later. That's a good idea. Kind of do a double whammy, get the students really excited and then inform the parents. And then if the parents bring it up, the kids are excited and just kind of do like a one two punch. Well, right, and if it's the kids idea, then they'll think it's even cooler. And then if the parents are excited about it, that's just like a bonus, you know? The parents are on board, the students are on board. Okay, thank you for that. Did Lex make the promotional videos for each program? I know him and his students were working on them. New ones? I thought so. I don't know. Maybe it's the ones we have. I know I've seen the ones from last year. Yeah. Sure, really great. They might have been working on them. They were really good. Those promotional videos were one of the reasons why I was very interested in interviewing here because I saw the videos and I was like, this place is amazing, I need to be part of this. They were very convincing and very spot on. All right, anything else? How's the new policies going? Oh, that's a great question. The phone boxes, I don't know why I haven't done that before. It was the coolest thing. Some classrooms, students walk in and they just know before they sit down, they put their phones in the box. It's really fantastic. It's so beautiful to see. Other classrooms are still struggling with, other classrooms are still struggling with reminders to put the phones in the box. There's a couple of students that have two phones. So they put a phone in the box, like a flip phone and then they still have their phone. So we've had a few funny conversations with students. Like, that's from like 1995, what's going on here. Got to be kind of for traffic. I know, it's pretty good, it's pretty funny. But overall, I would say I'm super happy with the phone boxes and their use and the teachers buy it, it's been really tremendous. The behavior rubric has served us really well so far. Students come in pretty much knowing what to expect. And they don't, nobody argues about it really. It's just sort of like, okay, well, this is what happened and this is the second time it's happened. So now I look at the rubric and this is the consequence and they're like, okay, yeah. I would say, for sure, I think so. I've also seen a lot of honesty from students. I feel like most students have, when I talk to them about whatever behavior is the unexpected, unwelcome behavior rate, most students will own up to the fact that they did do it and further don't argue with me about the consequence. And I know that during our conversation last time, we talked about shortening the amount of warnings to contact the school that came from. I guess, from 20 to 10. 20 to 10, do you find that the parents and the schools are been on board? That's a great question. So what I'm finding is is that sending schools really want their students to be successful. When we get to the point that a student, that it may not be the right setting for a student, how's it going? I think it's difficult for a sending school to kind of know then what to do next with them. Do they integrate back into the sending school? Did they do something different? So I think that there's some growing pains there as we learn together how to best handle the transition if it doesn't work out here at RTCC based on our rubric. What next? So going into the next school year as we iron this out, should there be more of a policy of transitioning back in the day that the school has that kind of expectation? I don't know if there needs to be more of a policy on our end. I think it's an opportunity for growth between us and each individual setting school because some sending schools have immediate plans, like this is what we'll do with this student. These are the options and some are trying to figure out what to do. So I think as we have more of these experiences, we will have a better history to look upon and say well, last year when we had a person return, this is what we did and it worked well or didn't work well. So because I think that that's kind of new, it seems that it's kind of new for people to return based on behavior in the rubric. We're learning from each experience and each one has been different. There's only been two so far and they're at different sending schools, so yeah. Each one is sort of a different case. So it sounds like though the school, the parents and the students all see the expectations that we set? For sure. And there's really hasn't been a problem. No, nobody, no, it hasn't been a problem in that way at all. Nope. Excellent, that's really good. No, thank you for asking. Yeah. That was a great question. Okay. Anything else? No. Okay. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Thank you for being here. You got to get the consent agenda for the last meeting. Sorry, yes, thank you. So, right, so the consent agenda from the last meeting minutes, approval for that? I'll move to approve, second. Thank you. Are there any items for our next meeting that you would like to address? Yes. Sorry, I'm late. I dropped the ball and just thought it was the regular school board meeting tonight. Nice. Sarah, again. Hi. Hi. I would like to talk at the next RTCC meeting about adult education and where you think the program is going if there is a future in that? Yes, we actually did talk about that a little bit today. Oh, okay. But I get to give you the super fast recap. Sure. That our adult education coordinator is going to be putting out very, he made it actually today. I just looked at it. A really nice survey that's going to be going out to the community through Lane and it lists a huge variety of all different types of adult programs, programming possibilities. And it asks for interest based on all of those and then interest on things that weren't on there and then interest as to whether people are interested in becoming instructors or participants. And so those programs, that survey will be going out soon and then those programs will be started after the winter holidays. And there's a huge range of interests. Like a lot of really cool stuff. Yeah. And like a lot of things that you could do as a career, but also you could do as a hobby or relaxation or fun or like personal improvement. And there's, you know, cooking, ballroom dancing. Yeah. Like all other, you know, fixing your bricks and rotating your tires and changing your oil. That's awesome. In with there. Yeah. It's a really big range of things. I look forward to seeing that. Yeah. Looking forward to seeing this. Thank you. Thank you for asking. That was a great question. All right. That's all. Thank you. Awesome. Have a great night, everybody. Thanks a lot. What would the next week be? A good question.
